Which alteration is directly against the Act of Parliament The second booke wherein I showed a notorious alteration was that ordered by Parliament to be read on the 5th of November in the First Collect or Thanksgiving for the happy deliverance of his Maiesty the Queen the Prince and the States of Parliament For in the former booke it is thus said 〈…〉 their Counsell and root out that Babylonist 〈◊〉 Antichristian Sect which say of Ierusalem Downe with it Downe with it even to the ground But in the new book printed 1635. it is thus Infatuate their Counsell and root out that Babylonish and Antichristian Sect OF THEM which say of Ierusalem c. Againe in the old booke it is said And to that end strengthen the hands of our gracious King the Nobles and Magistrates of the Land with judgement and justice to cutte of these workers of iniquity whose Religion is Rebellion whose Faith is Faction c. But in the new book they have altered it thus And to that end strengthen the hands of our gracious King the Nobles and Magistrates of the Land with judgement and justice to cutte of THESE workers of iniquity WHO TVRNE RELIGION INTO REBELLION AND FAITH INTO FACTION The third Booke wherein they have made many alterations is the fast-Fast-Book set forth by your Majesties Authority in the first yeare of your Raigne and which your Majesty in your late Proclamation commaunded to be reprinted and published and read in Churches at this Fast Yet notwithstanding we find these alterations in the last impression this yeare in the first Collect these words are expunged Thou hast delivered us from Superstition and Idolatry wherein wee were utterly drowned and hast brought us into the most cleare and confortable light of thy blessed word by the which we are taught how to serve and honour thee and how to live orderly with our neighbours in truth and verity Also they have left out in three severall prayers the mention of the Lady Elizabeth your Majesties only Sister and her issue Also the prayer for the Navy and the prayer for seasonable weather And a whole Collect begining thus It had been best for us c. Also in the last page Order for the Fast are these words left out To auoyd the inconvenience that may grow by the abuse of Fasting some esteeming it a meritorious worke others a good worke and of it selfe acceptable to God without due regard of the end c. Againe they charge me that I spake against altering of Communion Tables into Altars and against bowing unto them and against setting up of Crucifixes over them and against saying a second Service at the High Altar at the end of the Chancel whence the people cannot heare especially in greater Churches and against putting downe of Sermons in the afternoones upon the Lords dayes and insteed thereof nothing allowed but Catechising by bare Question and Answere out of the Common Prayer Booke without expounding the Principles of Religion layd downe in the Creed ten Commaundements and the Lords Prayer so that the people and youth especially are left in their ignorance Also they charged me for saying that Ministers might not safely preach of the Doctrines of Grace and Salvation and against the Arminians without being troubled for it Also that Ministers in Norfolke and Suffolke were suspended from their Ministry and meanes for not conforming to new rites and Ceremonies imposed upon them contrary to the Law of the Land These things with sundry other of like nature were objected against me in the said Articles which because a Copy cannot be procured from the Registers office I cannot so punctually set downe but referre unto the Articles themselves remaining with the Register of the High Commission All which Innovations expressed being found by evident proofe to be most true contrary to the Lawes and Statutes of the Realme the established Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England your Maiesties Declarations and Proclamations and many of them of very dangerous consequence tending to iustify and extenuate notorious treasons and traitors advance and vsher in Popery Superstition and Idolatry and giving generall distaste to all your Majesties loyall and faitfull Subiects who here upon grow iealous of some dangerous plot now in agitation by these Innovators to undermine and overthrow both our Religion good Lawes yet my mentioning of them in my Sermons meerly out of loyalty and duty to your Maiesty upon that solemne day for which they were most proper to warne my flocke to take heed of such Innovations as whereby Popery and Superstition doe not only craftily creep steale in upon us but is haled in with head and shoulders is charged upon me as Sedition Here then let your Maiesty be pleased to iudge whither this be matter of Sedition as for which I should be suspended from my Ministry and meanes and openly defamed as a seditious person As if a Shepherd admonishing his sheep of the danger of the wolfe or a watchman the City of the approch of the enemy or a faithfull and vigilant Servant to his Prince and Country descrying Cunning traitors who under a colour of freindship and fidelity to the King and State doe practise the overthrow of both should therefore upon the outcry of the wolfe or the complaint of the enemy or the recrimination of the Traitors be adiuged and condemned of Sedition for discharging that duty which both God and his word and the soules of Gods people require of him Thus much of the matter of the Articles upon the very resoltancy where of I was moved to Appeale as aforesayd Againe for the further illustration of the iust cause of my Appeale I except against the in competancy of those Iudges who plainly appeare to be both parties in the cause and Adversaries to my person for the cause sake and therefore both by the Common Civil and Canon Law yea by the very Lawes of God and Nature which prohibit any man to be a iudge in his owne cause especially when the party is an enemy to him that is to be iudged by him and therefore by the Lawes of God and man I have iust cause of Appeale from them unto your Royall Maiesty Where in the first place I distinguish and put a maine difference between those Honorable Nobles Iudges Counseillors of State and other Lay persons of the High Commission whom I except not against but mention with all
