much as you joy and scoffe at the hearing of the Cathedrall-Gates looke it come not to that passe one day that you wish the City-Gates nay the Kingdomes-Gates the Ports stood as wide open as these when one paire of heeles may be worth two paire of hands when an escape away may prove your best sanctuary against such a legall triall by the knowne Laws of the Land as may turne you over to Tiburne-Faire And then Bones Noches good night Dick.

E. B. whereof mention is made before Parag. Maliciousnesse Numb 7. I Heard M. E. B. of B. in the parish of G. next W. speaking of the Ship-taxes Culmers first charge against M. B. for speaking against the Ship-Sesses say that such and such places were taxed so much and some so much c. and in the end he said that if we have such taxes laid upon us wee must rebell or we must be faine to rebell or to this effect punctually and hearing him say so I said that if we considered our burthen with others compared we had no cause to thinke of Rebellion The next occasion I could finde I called him aside after Evenning-song and gave him the best admonition I could telling him that I could not heare such words but with detestation and said that as a Subject and a Minister and a Guest I was bound to tell him what I did and intreated him for the Lord Jesus Christs sake that he would forbeare such speeches else I would never come to his house more with other speeches to this effect He replied did I say so yes said I that I did heare you say aske your wife and friends at home After that he never spake word of it more till I heard of late he in a passion against me at some meeting railing upon me hoping to get my Your Curatship good Richard Benefice for his Cosin H. by my The very ●rade you ●rive your self 〈◊〉 this day ruine he there as I heard by credible Information amongst other vile comparisons and speeches against me said that he invited me to his house at Christmas and afterwards I called him aside and would have him accuse himselfe but he spake words of sedition when as I did it not to bring him into a snare If I had I would have called witnesse when 〈…〉 shed him but the Lord knoweth I did it out of 〈…〉 duty to God and my Soveraigne Lord King Charles for whom I pray from the bottome of my heart that the Lord would preserve him from seditious and rebellious men And my wife saith shee well remembreth the same speech of his and mine at the Table And I heard the said M. B. say His second charge against him in behalfe of the Booke of Sports having read over the booke of Sabbath-Recreations and delivering it to me before Evensong in the Church I asked him if he had read it he replied yes it will make a good privy seale And my wife and I heard him in our own house say of the said booke that it was as if a Schoolmaster should say it is a good boy ply thy book and thou shalt go to play in the afternoone And I and my servant heard him say that it was unfit such bookes should be sent for Ministers to read in the Church yet after he had a project to get my Benefice he to collogue for it said in my hearing that it was a good booke and if it were read the Sabbath would be better kept then ever it was Dated July the 31. 1635.

ring of the occasion Out of Town But being once gotten out of Towne and so out of that danger he made bold to runne other while thinking so at last to cast her off but 't would not serve his turne for being a nimble fat woman it seems she held well with him at all paces chattering at him all the way for the money that all they met tooke notice of it At length being about to take the wood he faces about and as once or twice before offers a parley and asks her what she meant to pursue him in that manner she gives him no other answer then before that goe whither he would shee was resolv'd to follow and would never leave him till she had what she came for her sisters money Finding her still harping on that string and being deafe of that eare on againe goes he threatning to shew her a course if she would not be gone and leave him why but quoth she you will not I trow be souncivill having train'd out a Gentlewoman thus far but you will see her home whereupon he bends his course straightway towards the house where he knew herselfe and sister dwelt and when he had thus usher'd her within or neare the sight of the house he gathers up his cloake about him and with all the speed he could makes to the side of a rough thicket hard of accesse especially for a Gentlewoman encumbred with long coats and silken withall apt to be torne with bushes and bryars and in there he rushes which when she perceived bethinking herselfe of the difficulty of a further pursuite she gives it over with this farewell to her game Nay now I see the Fox is burrowed e'ne goe thy wayes then and be hang'd for I le follow thee no further And so you have the story Passing from whence let 's have at him for his Vnnaturalnesse 6. Vnnaturalnesse which indeed is so notorious and grosse as no heathen almost but would blush to be so justly taxed for the like It is a saying as true as trite Ingratum si dixer is omnia dixeris Nothing can bee added to aggravate that mans crime that is once justly taxed of Vnthankfulnesse And can any unthankfulnesse equalize not to dreame of transcending that of a childe to a parent and wherein is or can that be better tried then when need especially if accompanied with old age hath rendred the unfortunate parent a fitting object of his childs reliefe and such a one is old Culmer the Historians father a poore aged man and in point of providence to blame in nothing more then for too soon parting with what estate he sometime had to this unnaturall some of his who now in requitall so much neglects him not for want of ability but will to succour him as the whole Iland where he lives rings of the Impiety whilest the Monster never seeks to lay the clamour values it not weighed with the saving of his money being ready to take up that of the Poet Quid enim salvi infamia nummis No marvell that he proves such a rebellious sonne to the Church his mother that is so unnaturall a childe to the poore aged man his father As for his Maliciousnesse 7. Maliciousnesse Not to insist on his continuall suits in Law being indeed a notable Vitiligator legis quam Evangelii peritior a better Lawyer then Divine I will trouble you but with one instance of it which concernes a Gentleman of birth and credit brought in question for his life by the treacherous malice of this grand impostor who with open mouth and all possible aggravation accused him to the Councell-Table of treasonable speeches Recited verbatim at the end of this Treatise and purposely referred thither because too t●dinus for this place occasioned by some discourse betweene them about eight or nine years since concerning the Ship-sesses and Impositions of those times in saying as the very words of the impeachment under his owne hand runne that if we have such taxes laid upon us we must rebell or we must be faine to rebell or to this effect And the better to curry favour and purchase the more credit to his indictment what sincerity of duty doth not the counfeit professe therein to God and his Sovereigne Lord King Charles for whom saith he I pray from the bottome of my heart a hollow heart sure Dick Culmer a Royalist without bottome that the Lord would preserve him from Dick Culmer and his fellows a sort of seditious and rebellious men with many other overtures of loyalty seconded with other of the same stamp in a letter of his which I have seen to a noble friend of the accused Gentleman written shortly after wherein what professions he makes of the good liking he bare to the Service book the catechisticall part of it especially his stedinesse and care to continue constant to those professions being so eminent I may not here without wronging the man passe over in silence which are these Yet did I quoth he clearly manifest my loyalty in that I did so publickly take his Majesties part loyall Richard I well fare thee and in my Ministry I have shewed full sore An Advocate for the Liturgy I doubt against thy will the like care a speciall proofe whereof I shewed till thou sawest thy time in my short forme of Catechisme which I used many yeares before their eyes were opened and resolve to use againe till time beter serve thee to cast it off if it please God to restore mee to the exercise of my Ministery Which forme beginneth thus Now we have learn'd to say the Catechisme c. let us see more fully the meaning c.
