Reformation that I who have preached and printed so much against Popery heretofore now in my old dayes being ready to leave this world have fallen away from my holy profession and am in heart a Papist there being found very many popish bookes in my study And because I have learned from the mouth of S. ●…erome that though other wrongs may be put up and answered with silence committing the revenge thereof to the righteous Judge injustissime judicato justissime judicaturo yet that in suspitione haereseos r●…eminem oportet silere that no man ought to be silent when he is charged with Heresie I have thought fit to make knowne to all whom it may concerne that being chosen Provost of Chelsey Colledge I have under the broad Seale of England a Warrant to buy have and keepe all manner of popish bookes and that I never bought or kept any of them but to this end and purpose the better to informe my selfe to refute them and for my judgement and resolution in poynt of Religion I professe before God and his holy Angels and the whole world that what I have heretofore preached written and Printed against the errors heresies Idolatry and manifold superstitions of the Romish church is the truth of God and that I am most ready and willing if I be called thereunto to signe and seale it with my blood And whereas I am certainly informed that divers Lecturers and Preachers in London and the Suburbs who have entred upon the labours of many worthy Divines and reaped their harvest doe in their owne Pulpits after a most insolent manner insult upon them demanding where are they now that dare stand up in defende of Church Hierarchy or booke of Common Prayer or any may oppose or impugne the new intended Reformation both in doctrine and discipline of the Church of England I doe here protest that I doe and will maintaine by disputation or writing against any of them these three conclusions First that the Articles of Religion agreed upon in the yeare of our Lord 1562. by both houses of Convocation and ratified by Q. Elizabeth need no alteration at all but onely an Orthodox explication in some ambiguous phrases and a vindication against false aspersions Secondly that the Discipline of the Church of England established by many lawes and Acts of Parliament that is the government by Bishops removing all late innovations and abuses in the execution thereof is agreeable to Gods Word and a truly ancient and Apostolicall Institution Thirdly that there ought to be a set forme of publike prayer and that the booke of Common Prayer the Calendar being reformed in poynt of Apochryphill Saints and Chapters some Rubricks explained and some expressions revised and the whole correctly Printed with all the Psalmes Chapters and allegations out of the old and new Testament according to the last translation is the most compleat perfect and exact Liturgie now extant in the Christian world DANIEL FEATLEY FINIS whose tongue rotted in his mouth Vide ce●… infra {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} D.

feast of the translation of Thomas the Martyr in the 18 yeare of his Majesties raigne that now is Iohn Goad of Lambeth Ambrose Andrewes of the same Edward Searles of the same and Iohn Hopkins of the same were by the Jury of the high Constables of the County indicted for not repairing to the parish church of Lambeth to heare divine service and the common prayers of the Church by the space of 12 sundayes but did voluntarily and obstinately absent themselves from the same contrary to the statute in that case provided Ita testor Tho. Foster clericus pacis Com. Sur. In particular I except against Io. Goad That he is a man who stands indicted at the Sessions ex record supr. That he hath spoken often as he cannot deny much in derogation of the booke of Common Prayer as namely against diverse passages in the Letany the crosse in baptisme and the forme of absolution in the visitation of the sick That he is a breaker of the Sabbath himselfe and causeth his servants to worke upon that day as he did on the 28 of November last To the former two exceptions Goad could answer nothing but to the last he said it was in case only of necessity but the D replyed it was meere covetousnesse and no necessity at all as his neighbour Andrew Bartlet an ancient vestry man would testifie against him whom the D. earnestly desired to be called in he being ready waiting in the next room but hee could not obtaine it of M. White to have him called Item against Ambrose Andrewes That he stands indicted as is abovesaid That he likewise as Goad hath spoken much in derogation of the Common Prayer book and hath not come to the prayers and Sacrament at Lambeth these nine months at least as the Reader Clerke and Sexton and Church-wardens also were ready to testifie That whilst he came to Church as he did formerly he frequently disturbed the Preacher he usually talked and laughed in the Sermon jeering at the Minister and once when the D. himselfe preached spake aloud in his sermon saying It is time thou hadst done already and other such contemptuous and disgracefull words for which by the statute 10. Mariae Sess. 2. he is if it be proved against him by two witnesses to be committed without baile or mainprise to the Goale the two witnesses said the D. are here present to testifie it Richard Hooke William Chapman but M. White would not have them called in That when his wife had said before one of the neighbours that at Lambeth Church they had nothing but pottage and that they must goe to London for rostemeat that the Church was no better then a barne or stable and that neighbour reproved her for it her husband the said Ambrose Andrewes said he would iustifie and maintaine what his wife had said Item against Edward Searles That he stands indicted at the Sessions ut supra That he confessed that the cause of their preferring Articles against D. Featley was to stay the prosecution of a bill against him the said Searles at Sessions and said that if the D. would take off the indictment th●… articles against the D. should soone be with-drawne this is testified by Tho. Pibus and another That this Searles is a Blasphemer of the holy Scripture say nancy against the Parliament and the proceedings thereof saying openly in his preaching that our State had sate long and done nothing comparing themto a Fowle that sitteth long and hatcheth not whose eggs be addle and to a woman that alwayes conceiveth and never bringeth forth who can be no comfort to her husband and hath not onely not given or lent to the present necessary preservation of the Kingdome but declared to others that it is not safe to give or lend to the Parliament and hath openly preached that these are resisting times and that the keyes are taken from the Church and left in such hands as have layd them by till they be rustie and that the whole tenure of the Gospell is against that which is preached commonly in London where Arme Arme Blood Blood Fight Fight is commonly preached and they pretend they fight for Religion and priviledge of Parliament and the liberty of the Subjects but the wife have lost their wisedome and the physitian his skill and the cure is worse than the disease All which the Commons in Parliament assembled taking into consideration for the provision of a Godly Learned and Orthodox Divine for the said Parish and for fit maintenance for such an one doe Order that the said Church and the profits thereof be forthwith Sequestred c. Die Martis II Iulii 1643. The Order for sequestring the Parsonage of Lambeth from D. Featley being put to the question It was resolved negatively H. Elsinge Cler. Parl. D. Com. Notwithstanding this resolution of the house of Commons in justification of D. F. a substitute of M. Whites of Dor●…hester who beares his character in his name stretched his Chevarel conscience so farre that to gratifie some Schismaticall Separatists at Lambeth read a Paper upon the 9. of November last in the Parish Church of Lambeth on the Lords day in which D. F. is charged with the Articles above mentioned formally in terminis which were rejected by the house of Commons as partly idle and frivolous partly false and scandalous and the D. cleared and acquitted of them all and they made the ground of the sentence of Sequestration pronounced against him September 29. Now sith a Judge cannot justly pronounce different sentences and give divers judgements upon the selfe same evidence neither is it possible after a cause is fully informed and sentenced that the same party should be both guilty and not guilty of the same Delinquencies numero And forasmuch as the sentence above mentioned whereby the D. is cleared acquitted and absolved is upon Record and may be seene by any who shall search for it in the authenticall Register of the Acts of the house of Commons It followeth necessarily and unavoydably that D. F. not onely remaineth still Rector of Lambeth as he is styled in the very forme of Sequestration but also standeth rectus in curia As for the Letter to the Primate of Armagh intercepted wherewith alone he is charged in another Declaration it is answered above It was no Letter but an unsealed note drawne from D. F. by a wile it discovers no secrets at all nor layes any imputation upon the Assembly or Parliament and is so farre from containing any offensive matter or subject to any just exception or censure that the close Committee who exactly perused it and tooke a Copy of it sent the true originall to the Primate of Armagh at Oxon who hath it in his keeping The Doctors Manifesto and CHALLENGE Whereas a false and scandalous report is bruited by the Semi-separatists and Anabaptists and readily entertained by divers Zelots of the new
