all other Books of Conformitie to the Church of England and that if any whosoever could publikely or privately confute those his Bookes hee would bee the first man that would cause those his Bookes to bee burnt c. Whereas it is most manifest as before hee writes against the Doctrine of those Bookes of Articles and Homilies c. And who knoweth not his owne Bookes are confuted by divers learned and pious men as in the premisses his Bookes condemned by a charge in Parlament and other reformed Churches as in the premisses also Nathelesse this Gamaliel highly applauded with adulation this his confirmed Bishops base Apologie and said You haue well said my Lord and he also said That those Objections were nothing but the blattering of a Tradesman who was too busie to meddle with such high mysteries of Divinitie but indeed it was the disease of the Time now for mechanicall Tradesmen so to doe c. Also the aforesaid Doctour Rives and one Drake the Register and one Fish the Proctour all three employed in the said Confirmation did all joyntly vse other disgracefull scoffing scornefull and geering words gestures and behaviours towards the Objectour and the Objections They also checked and taunted a religious Gentleman who tooke the Objectours part Whereof there were divers not a few we may say a Cloud of witnesses and some of them Ministers our Brethren there present the reverend Rectour of the Church and others So as We doe also complaine to this Honourable House of Doctour Rives Doctour Samms Drake and Fish who all foure wee perceiue to bee Delinquents in the businesse and none so fit as the Objector afore-named to produce witnesses to this Honourable and Noble Senate of the same The third day after this day of Confirmation being Sonday or the Lords day Mountagu came to be Consecrated by the most reverend Archby shop of Canterbury then residing at Croydon who as it seemes had no knowledge of the Objections concealed by Mountagu and his Adhaerents And the Ceremonies of Consecration were performed Onely this happened as we are informed whiles Mountagu and his fautors were sitting at the feast or dinner of Consecration the newes was brought to the most Reverend Archbishop that the Duke of Buckingham Mountagu's potent Patron was stabb'd to death at Portsmouth and that on Saturday the day after and about the same houre that Mountagu was opposed in his Confirmation which for the time as they say helped to marre Mountagu's myrth and especially stopped the chirping of a certaine Wren which Bird comming lately out of an vncleane Cage began to straine high his lascivious notes to make musicke against godly Ministers c. Neverthelesse by this time you may see Mountagu in his Pontificalibus Elect Confirmed and Consecrated Byshop of Chichester in despight of all Opposition and as hee is in his Pontificalibus now to bee ranked inter Dominos Spirituales Good Lord Hee who by the doome of God Tit. 3.10 in his Word and all good Orthodox men not thought worthy to liue at leastwise not to enjoy any further Spirituall promotion in our Reformed Church of England nor ever could haue the grace of the Vniversitie to Commence so much as Doctour in Divinitie and in stead of beeing censured by Parlament and degraded from any Ministeriall office Hee wee say to become a Byshop and a Governour in our Church woe must needs bee to that Diocesse especially that hath such a Byshop such a Governour Yea it is well knowne hee spareth not already since his Consecration to say and sweare in his Table-talke hee will plague the Puritans in his Diocesse And they say he hath already silenced some Lecturers and by Puritans his meaning is alwayes according to his garb and writings all honest Orthodox Divines that doe oppose and will not adhaere vnto his unsound and unsavorie opinions and Doctrines though they otherwise bee never so conformable to the orders and Caeremonies of the Church of England And these his Errours and Haeresies are so notorious and manifest both by his writings as in the premisses and in his Preachings when he gets into the Pulpit that all the water in the Pontifician Sea of Chichester can never wash off these blacke staines from him For can a Leopard change his spots Let vs craue leaue of this honourable House a little to digresse And then We are also not to conceale but reueale unto You that this notable Mountebank is familiarly acquainted with divers knowne Papists who haue resort unto him hee recourse unto them and by name which wee can proue hee hath often priuate conference with one Hugh Holland a professed Papist and sworne slaue to his Lord God the Pope and some say a lay-Iesuite if there bee any such order however a ruffianly Locust and seducer of the Kings Liege-people a vilifier of Parlaments And what this fellow else is our reverend brother the Rector of Fan-church can if hee be pleased informe this House And so wee leaue this base Associate of B.
