consider'd in his CHAP. III. Whose Title is That KING Henry 8. did not by renouncing the power pretended by the Pope make void the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction neither was it void before it was restored by 1 Edw. 6.2 And to prove this Negative he 's at it again with his old way of Questions but that he shews a little more warmth and wrath against Mr. Hickeringill in this Ironical Sarcasm Pray Mr. Wiseman where and by what words did H. 8. cut off as you say all these ordinary Jurisdictions Mr. Hickeringill told you enough of it in the Naked Truth which read over seriously before you answer any more such Books good Mr. D. D. He told you that when the Popes Supremacy and Head was be-headed and the King made Supreme Head of the Church as well as State and of the Spirituality as well as Temporality by Act of Parliament The same King and Parliament devis'd also and advis'd by what Laws this new face of the Church having got a new head sure it had a new face should be guided and governed Therefore the King and Parliament enact that the King shall appoint Thirty-two Commissioners not to make new Laws but compile them out of the old ones so that they were not repugnant to the Kings Prerogative nor the Laws of the Realm But that was a thing impossible for most of the Canons being forged at Rome or Licensed there and Confirmed and also they supposing the Pope Head of the Church which was against the Laws of this Land nothing could be done and the reason is already given in the former Chapter at large so that less shall need to be said to this Chapter or indeed to the remaining part of his mighty Volume or Leges Angliae And truly that King Henry 8. had so much to do to keep and secure his new acquests the Abby-Lands Monastries c. and to Counterplot the Pope and his Emissaries and on the other side the English Bishops were so consternated at the sudden and total downfal of their Brethren and Sisters the Fryers Abbots and Nuns that they were in a bodily fear lest that King thus flesh't finding the sweetness of the Booty should hunt after more Church-Lands And therefore Mr. Archdeacon needed not ask the Question Was that watchful Prince asleep no surely nor yet the watchful Bishops I fear did not sleep very quietly but were always troubled in their sleep crying out oh this fat Mannor is upon the go And these brave Walks Houses and Orchards are a departing And as dreams sometimes prove unluckily true so did these dreams for soon after was first exchanged with the two Archbishops by the Satute of 37. Henry 8.16 Sixty-nine fat and stately Mannors named in the said Statute at one time from the Archbishop of York and also a great many brave Country-houses and rich Mannors from the Archbishop of Canterbury and from Edmond Bishop of London which See was particularly named in the Statute But some may say that the Abby-Lands which the King gave in exchange were not comparable in value to the said Archbishops Lands and Mannors Who can help that if they did not like those Abby-Lands I suppose they might have let them alone Thus the King having been busied in the 24th year of his Reign with cutting off the Roman Head and all appeals to Rome then troubled with his Abby-Lands beginning with the lesser Monastries 27 Henry 8.28 those digested then the great Monastries and Nunneries 31. Henry 8.13 then the next year the brave Houses Lands and Revenues of the Templers called the Knights of the Rhodes and of St. John of Jerusalem 32. Henry 8.24 then the Free-Chantries Hospitals c. in 37. Henry 8.4 and in this his last year that sad exchange with the Archbishops and Bishop of London 37. Henry 8.16 I do not see any cause Mr. Archdeacon why any flesh alive should say that either the King or the Bishops were asleep for Thirteen years together in which time every one had work enough to be watchful The best on 't is that the man thinks he can answer all Mr. Hickeringill's Arguments in the Naked Truth with a Story which he tells p. 14. and so silly and so little quadrating with the question in controversie that it is not worth the answering nor his observation thereon namely that though the Lords of the Mannors were changed yet the Customs and Courts and Officers were not changed No were not the Customs Courts nor Officers changed God forbid for then it must still be a Custom that neither the Bishop nor the Archdeacon may lawfully Marry it will still be a Custom to excommunicate as it was of old all that did not pay the Pope the first fruits and tenths if the Customs be not changed and a thousand such exceptions could I make if it were not below me to take notice of all his idle and impertinent Whimsies and Stories obvious enough to every learned and ingenuous Reader without my remark or asterisque to expose it Nor does any body deny but that King H. 8. willing to have a Divorce from Queen Katharine from Rome and not able to obtain the same got it at home the said Statute of Appeals cutting off all Appeals to Rome and enabling the Kings Courts Spiritual and Temporal to determine the same Any Forrein Inhibitions Appeals Sentences Summons c. from the See of Rome c. to the Let or Impediment in any wise notwithstanding 24. Henry 8.12 Whence note 1. The design of the Statute is to cut off Appeals to Rome this Realm of England being an Empire of it self governed by one Supreme Head 2. Therefore no need of such Appeals when they may be with less trouble ended here within the Kings Jurisdiction in Courts Spiritual and Temporal 3. That Statute limits the cognisance of all matters cognisable in Spiritual Courts to these Three sorts namely Causes Testamentary Matrimonial or Divorces Tithes and Oblations and Obventions and if they can prove their Courts to be lawful Courts and by lawful Anthority who ever doubted but those Three things were matters and causes of Ecclesiastical cognisance but they are not content to keep themselves there and therefore the great design of the Naked Truth is not in the least to check their proceedings in those Three Particulars but their exorbitances in medling with Church Wardens the Oath of Church-Wardens exactions illegal and unconscionable in their Fees in despight of the Statutes in Probate of Wills Procurations Sequestrations Synodals Licenses to Preach Visitations c. 4. The Archbishops Bishops and Clergy in Convocation in less than Twenty years after this Statute found so little Authority in this 24. Henry 8.12 for keeping Spiritual Courts and exercising Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction it coming in but by way of Parenthesis and not the purport and main design of the Statute that they all acknowledg and confess uno ore and 2. Phil. and Mar. that their Jurisdiction and Liberties Ecclesiastical were taken away
Authority of Ecclesiastical-Courts can or does consist or subsist or who gave them the Authority they pretend to not the Pope as of Old not the Common-Law I am sure nor can possibly the Canon-Law or Statute-Law 13. Grant they have Authority It is but in Three or Four particulars Causes Testamentary Matrimonial Tythes and for neglecting to come to Divine-Service by 1 Eliz. 2. or at most but those Ten Things in 5. Eliz. 23. de excommunicato capiendo enumerated what 's this to justify their great extortions in Probates of wills and Administrations and their illegal Proving the same and keeping Men's Wills contrary to that Statute What 's this to Justify the Force of any Canons at this Day Or who made them Laws of England without a Parliament What 's this to Justify the Pilling and Polling the Church-wardens and the inferior Clergy by Procurations Articles of Visitation Oaths Arbitrarily imposed upon them both for Canonical Obedience What 's all this to their great Business in Visitations and Court-keeping namely The Money-Business And lastly what a shamefull thing it is to Impose upon the consciences of the Clergy an c Oath of canonical obedience condemn'd by Act of Parliament in condemning the canons of 1640. in 13 car 2.12 What Insolence for a Bishop to commend the observation of those Canons which the King and Parliament have condemn'd by Statute Quer. What punishment do such Incurr and for Imposing Oaths upon Church-Wardens to enquire into the breach of such late Canon's which cannot be possibly the Laws of England if made since the dayes of King Henry the 8th Their shamefull and illegal extortions are a Thousand times more sufferable and pardonable than these Arbitrary Impositions of Oaths to torture and rack men's conscienees if not to precipitate them into Purjury nay except God be more mercifull than they eternal damnation making men swear Stare mandatis Ecclesiae to obey the commands of the Church and to obey his Majesties Laws Ecclesiastical when it is not defined what or where these Ecclesiastical Laws are the wisest of them all will not cannot dare not tell nor determine I 'le bid this Arch Deacon farewell with the same complement he passes upon Mr. Hickeringil in his last words bidding him not be wiser than the Law If this D. D. had not been wiser than the Law he had not writ such a thin discourse and yet face it with a Bulky and Imbost-Title stiling it Leges Angliae If the Spiritual Court keepers were not wiser than the Law they would first prove their Courts Legal their Canons Legal their Fees Legal their Extortions and Impositions of Oaths upon the consciences of the King's Subjects Legal Nor write I this to weaken their Authority but that it may if it seem good to the King and Parliament prove Instrumental to give them a just Authority and a true face of Power and also limit their Exorbitances There 's no wise man nor good man that favours Anarchy The Kings Throne which God long preserve is establish't by Justice and Law and 't is the Peoples Happiness to be governed and guided by honest Laws not Arbitrary Canons Impositions and Methods but such as are of the right English Make and Temper enacted by King and Parliament And I dare justify That there is nothing in the Naked-Truth but what is good for the Clergy as well as the Laity if they will lay aside Prejudice and Pertinacy Pride and Covetousness Finally for I am heartily weary of the Company of this same Totnes-Arch-Deacon and with conversing thus long with such an impertinent D. D. that has not his fellow among them all for Insolence and Impudence in defaming and belying a Gentleman he never saw nor knows any harm by except perhaps from malice that never speaks well and seldom speaks true or from fame which was a lyar of old and long before ever there was an Arch-Deacon heard of in Christendom And now at length to make Mr. Hickeringil the Common odium nothing will serve but to make him a Papist a Hobbist c. when all his Enemies that know him have not effrontery to deny but that he has more Loyalty than to be a Papist more Conscience than to be a Simonist though an Arch-Deaconry of Totnes might be put into the bargain and Seal more Honour and Ingenuity than to be a Parasite more Reason than to be an Atheist more Religion than to be an Hobbist and more Honesty and Plain-dealing than to be Well-Beloved in a Dissembling Age of Sycophantry But after all this bespattering Language how inhumane it is in an Arch-Deacon and a D. D. so unmercifully to attacque Mr. Hickeringill with Pun and quibble a persecution beyond the plague of Barbers in an Itchy endeavour to be witty forsooth in despite of Nature and his Stars who have all entred sufficient Caveats against it Then for the Serious part if there be such a part in his Idle Pamphlet Is it not Quixolisme beyond the relief of Hellebore to stile his Insignificant babling Leges Angliae Make Bonefires of your Cook your Littleton your Crook Dyer Statute-Books and Common Law-Books for behold here in thrifty Querpo Leges Angliae the Laws of England price 8 d. Nor less madness is it in him or more Idle vapour than to appear thus publiquely upon the Stage as the chavalier or champion of Mother-Church in answer to Mr. Hickeringil's Naked-Truth when he only tickles over the Skirts of the business and sayes not one word in answer to the main drift and design of the Naked-Truth namely in answer or vindication of the Canons Authority to keep Eclesiastical Courts or to impose Oaths of Canonical Obedience upon the Clergy or to impose Oaths upon the Church-Wardens nor one word does he say to vindicate their unjust and unconscionable Impositions and Extortions upon the Clergy in Procurations Institutions Licenses to Preach Ordinations Inductions Sinodals Visitations c. and yet most Impudently stiles his Book An Answer to Mr. Hickeringill c. Nor does that Statute 25. Hen. 8. give any Authority to Arch-Bishops or Bishops to keep Ecclesiastical courts or jurisdiction except such as was then practis'd when the Statute was made namely Popish Courts Popish Articles of Visitation Popish Habits and Palls and to be worn by Popish Arch-Bishops and Bishops But we have none now You know Hen. 8. that made that statute liv'd and dy'd a papist as aforesaid But what is that Statute however to justify your Arch-Deacon's Courts that Spiritual creature is not Nam'd in 25. Hen. 8. Well come Mr. Arch-Deacon Friends must part I 'le even bid you far-well and shake hands with you in hopes never to meet with you again but because I am in your debt for that witless Quible Hobby War-Hawk I 'le pay you Quid Pro Quo in the same coyne namely an Anagram for your Pun and Quibble nay an Anagram as Silly if possible as your Quible War-Hawk Fra-Fulwood Anagram War-dul-Fool THus has it cost me some pains the Labour of Six dayes not Seven dayes I protest to answer the Six Months Abortive Throwes of a sibling quibbling fribling fumbling Arch-Deacon And 't is enough at least as much as is needful and more than I could well afford upon so despicable an Opponent besides a subtle Anagram franckly vouchfaf't to him and ex abundanti liberally thrown and given him into the bargain To teach his costive-wit more Sobriety than to attacque the Naked-Truth only with Impertinencies and Pun and Quibble In his next attempt when peradventure he makes a second adventure Which not I so much as the the Booksellers greedily expect from him or rather some more modest more solid and better accounted champion of the Kirk's But enough I say at present not only because I am in haste and have other more Important affairs in hand than to spend much time with such a Scribling D. D. but chiefly because the Naked-Truth is Luscious too much at a time is apt to Glut and Nauseate to eat much Honey is not good 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The Husband-Man with wary Hand Not with whole Sack-fulls Sowes the Land But Thriftily contrives his Gain By Handfuls Husbanding the Grain FINIS London Printed for R.

Hundret nor bring any Ecclesiastical cause to the Judgment of Secular men Therefore William the Conquerour the Popes Champion brought with him this new distinction of Clergy and Layty and Ecclesiastical Judges and Secular Judges for it seems Ecclesiastical Causes as well as Secular were brought in the Hundret Court to the Judgment of Secular men not Ecclesiastical men 5. The said Proclamation ordains every man to do right to God and the Bishop not according to the Hundred but according to the Canons and Episcopal Laws Which answers the greatest Stress of the D. D. Answer The Conquerour with the Pope brought in the Canons and Episcopal Laws and when the Pope's head was cut off and his Supremacy taken away vanish also did his Canons and Episcopal Laws And the Popish King and Parliament in Hen. 8. time knew it as well and therefore when they had made the King Head of the Church as well as State a fatal distinction of Church and State and often makes a Kingdom divided against its self cutting off all Appeals to Rome 24 H. 12. in the very next year they found a necessity to abrogate all Popish Canons that were contrariant to the Kings Prerogative and the Laws and Statutes of this Realm but such as were not so contrariant and repugnant to remain in force And to that purpose there was to be a Book of such Canons compiled by thirty two Commissioners party per pale one moyety Clergy and the other Lay but they did nothing and so that project in the Statute came to nothing And for my part in the Knowledge I have in the ancient Councils and Canon's in the making whereof the Pope had the great hand they might as well seek a needle in a bottle of Hay as seek for Canons amongst the old ones suitable to the new face of our Church when it had lost its old wonted head that had Authorized and Father'd the English Church and all Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction from William the Conquerour till 24 Henry 8. which was 467 long years and during the weary Reigns of twenty Kings together who were so tyred with the Pope's Insolence that some of them as King John meditated rather to turn Turk than undergo the Infamy as well as Tyranny and Cruelty in being all his Reign so shamefully Priest-ridden complaining and bemoaning himself that after he subjugated himself and his Scepter to the Pope of Rome nothing prosper'd that he undertook ever after Therefore hard is the fate of that Man much more of that King and Kingdom that are under the Tyranny of these Bigots How do they wrest the holy Scriptures to surrogate their preposterous Hierarchy as did the said Popham Archbishop in his said Letter to the King Edw. 1. aforementioned quoting Mat. 16.19 Whatsoe're thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven and threatning the King with death from Deut. 17.12 And the man that shall do presumptuously and will not hearken unto the Priest that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God or unto the Judge even that man shall dye Then he threatens the King with Deut. 17.18 19 20. and with Luk. 10.16 He that heareth you heareth me and he that despiseth you despiseth me And he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me which saith the Archbishop St. Dyonisius expounds Ierarchis in his quae agant Ierarchicè obediendum est sicut a Deo motis To the Hierarchy or Prelates in what they act as Prelates we ought to obey them as those that are influenc't by God himself Then he quotes Deut. 17.8 9 10 11. and Heb. 4. and Mat. 17.5 Mat. 28.20 Acts 3.22 Mat. 18.19 20. Mat. 18.17 Mat. 10.20 as Impertinent as tedious to insist upon concluding his Letter in a menacing way from Lambeth November Anno Dommi 1281. and the third year of his Translation Instancing also for his Platform and imitation in this his contumacy the example of Thomas Becket and Boniface his Predecessors as fierce and Seditious as himself But wise King Edw. 1. like his Grandfather Hen. 2. and his Father Hen. 3. would not so easily part with the Reins of Government for he disanulled not only the Rading-Canons as aforesaid but also the Lambeth-Canons Anno 1281. Even as his Grandfather Hen. 2. abrogated all the Canon Law being then Duke of Normandy and particularly the Canons of the late Councel of Rhemes And by Proclamation forbidding Hugo Archbishop of Roan to put the same in Execution and threatning Pope Innocent 2. that if he would not restrain the said Archbishop therein he would turn Protestant so I translate the words of the Kings letter to Pope Innocent Minatus est Apertè divortium ab Apostolicâ sede nisi praesumptio illius Archiepiscopi reprimeretur Which so frighted the Pope that he was glad to knock under and yield to the time foreseeing a Storm approaching he very wisely made fair weather on 't to use his own words Quod prefectò quamvis Justum fuerit Mat. Paris Hist Aug. p. 96 97. à nobis in Concilio Rhemensi mandatum pro ejus tamen charitate aliquando condescendere quando non ascendere possumus debemus et pro tempore ipsius voluntati assensum praebere That is saith the Pope What was done in the Councel of Rhemes was nothing but what was Just and right and also by us Commanded nevertheless for charity sake we must be lowly and condescend then when we cannot climb and ascend and be uppermost and for the present give our assent and consent to the Kings will and pleasure And there had been a fatal divorce or beginning of Protestanism from Rome by another Henry Hen. 2. long before Hen. 8. if Pope Innocent had been as stiff and inflexible as was Pope Clement to Hen. 8. So that all along those that please to observe our Statutes Histories and Chronicles they will find that ever since our Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction was brought from France and Rome by William the Conquerour sometimes the Church-men and their head the Pope had the weather-gage and sometimes the Kings as they hapned to be some more prudent some more weak some more potent and some in greater straits than other of which last condition namely when our Kings affairs were in a Peck of troubles and distresses the Pope and his Janizaries the Popish Prelates alwaies wrought upon their necessities and most unmanly would never give them fair quarter when they had them down None so cruel as Women and cowardly Gownmen when they get men at advantage many Instances whereof you may see in the reigns of King John the King Henries and the King Edwards c. So that now Canon-Law now Statute-Law now the Church and now the State now the Lord Arch-bishops and Lord Bishops and now the Lords temporal and the Common's had the upper-hand but the Bishops carryed it for the most part and alwaies at long run whilest they had the Pope or the High-Commission on their side And even since they
in their own names and not in the name and stile of the King their head and the head of the Church as well as State and as all other his Majesties Courts are kept in England Indeed the Courts-Baron and Courts Leet c. are kept in the name of the Lord of the Leet Hundred c. they being the Lords-Courts properly and not the Kings-Courts no more than his Lands or Mannors are properly the Kings Lands and Mannors But the Courts of Justice whether Ecclesiastical or Civil ought surely to be open to all the Kings Leige people and have the Kings Authority name and stile not only for their Warrant and Authority but to give them thereby life vigour power Granduer and Majesty And 't is strange to me that men who have taken the Oath of Supremacy have bid desiance to the Pope and do not pretend to set up a Commonwealth in a Common-wealth nor any Government independent of the Crown Imperial of this Realm nor have no privy designs at some time or other to stand as of old upon their own legs without dependance upon the King whom both Papists Presbyterians Fift-monarchy-men c. endeavour to subjugate to their discipline should be so aukward and loath to have their Processes and Citations go out and run as other Writs in the Kings name and stile and it were but for their own ends to agrandize their Processes and Proceedings except as formerly the Clergy do take care to have as little dependance upon a Lay-man as possibly may be and I say again it will never be well nor our differences cemented until Lay and Ecclesiastical men be one and the same with one and the same ends and designs in this Kingdom where all Ecclesiastical and Lay-power is united and one and the same in one Head our Soveraign Lord the King 'T is this Bigottism that undoes us and wars upon the score of Religion that above all other things has blooded all over the woful face of Christendom But let me hear of no more Extortions for Visitations Procurations Synodals Institutions Inductions Ordinations Licenses to Preach Sequestrations Pilling and Polling the Clergy nor in Probate of Wills the Laity and in Visitations Church-Wardens And when they have done and Performed their said Great Duties if after that they cry out for want of work and Employment let them also sit upon as many Benches as shall be thought fit It is acknowledged also That Convocations are alwayes have been and ought to be Assembled by the King 's Writ only no doubt on 't for else they are an Unlawful Conventicle And there let them Sit together 'till I or any Body else disturb them or meddle with them The Power to make Laws for the Church was ever in the King and Parliament only and who ever denyes the same 't is fit they should severely Answer it in a Parliament Have a care of a Parliament Mr. Arch-Deacon Have a care of a Praemunire War-Hawk I will not say War-Buzzard I had almost forgot to touch upon one String with which he makes a great Sound and Noise in his Proem and that is to prove That Chancellors Registers Sumners Officials Commissaries Advocates Notaries Surrogates c. ejusdem farinae are all Church-Officers Jure Divino and according to Holy Writ Ay! But where What Chapter What Verse It follows as close as any thing In 1 Cor. 12.28 Helps in Government The Registers are but to Make I thought that had been the Judges Office to Make and keep the Acts of Court c. Advocates and Proctors to Order and Manage Causes And Apparitors to Serve Process and Execute Mandates c. Then this Remark Mr. Hickeringill is a Man of great Experience in Spiritual Jurisdiction and need not be told of these plain Matters having said in the first words of this Paragraph But How Witless and Quaker-like is this And How unlike Mr. Hickeringill Sometimes he makes Mr. Hickeringill a Hobbist a Papist a Statist and a Man of great Experience in Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and now a Witless Quaker Even just what the Good Old Gentleman pleases But sure Mr. Arch-Deacon does mistake and Mr. Hickeringill is not a Man of so great Experience but he had need to be told of these Plain Matters again and again before it can be beaten into his Head That the Apostle who never had Register Surrogate Apparitor nor Commissary Official nor Advocate nor the Primitive Church no not so much as an Arch-Bishop or an Arch-Deacon should ever intend or mean any such Creatures when he told the Corinthians of Helps in Government Well of a D. D. 't is an Incomparable Finder a Piercing and Quick-sighted Commentator for a Man of his Age that cannot see without Spectacles For Proctors Sumners and Apparitors are just such Helps in Government in the Church as Squire Dun and Gregory in the State namely Helps to Ruin many Alas Poor Primitive Church of Christ That made a Shift to subsist many Hundreds of Years by Miracle surely and yet never had these Ass-sistants or Helps in Government Such Helps in Government God knows Plut. Lives p. 940. as are far more fit to People the City that Plutarch speaks of called Poneropolis God grant them a good Shipping they 'l meet with many of their Brethren in Spain and Italy And it is as sensless to Defend these Ecclesiastical Fellows by Magna Charta because such as They if they still be Papists as those were were then Members of Holy-Church and brought hither from Rome by William the Conquerour For by that First Clause of Magna Charta That the Church of England shall be Free and have all Her Liberties c. can never be meant as the Arch-Deacon would insinuate that it is a Sin to alter that Frame of Government and the Rights and Libertyes of Holy Church For Peter-Pence First Fruits and Tenths to the Pope Investiture of Bishops c. with many other were then the Right and Liberties of Holy Church as aforesaid when Magna Charta was Made I have not willingly omitted to give Answer to all and every the idle Cavils and Exceptions in his Book Once for all by way of Conclusion for I am quite tired with his Impertinencies let the Reader Read the Statute of 1. Eliz. 1. and he will find 1. That the Popish Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Church at the Making of that Statute was cut off utterly by the Name of all Forreign Powers Repealing the 1. and 2. Phil. Mar. 8. whereby the See of Rome had been again set up in England from whence that Statute confesses with great Contrition to use the Words of that Statute They had a long while wandred and strayed abroad and in which Statute the Protestant Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction set up by Edward 6. is Disanulled 2. That therefore by 1. Eliz. 1. it appears there was then neither Popish nor Protestant Jurisdiction Ecclesiastical 3. That therefore full Power and Authority is granted to the Queen Her
