WRENS ANATOMY DISCOVERING His notorious pranks and shamefull wickednesse with some of his most lewd facts and infamous deeds both in his government of Peter-house Colledge and domineering in three Bishopricks to his perpetuall shame and infamy only canonicall prayers no afternoon sermons Altar-cringing Pristes Church-wardens for Articles Woe be unto the Pastors that destroy and scatter the sheepe of my pasture saith the Lord. Jerem. 23.1 Printed in the yeare That Wren ceasd to domineere 1641. WRENS ANATOMY SECT 1. His birth parentage and education THe world since its first creation being by the fall of man something degenerated from the first perfection and purity of nature wherein the most blessed Almighty was pleased to vouchsafe it the nature and qualitie of exceeding good and by the fall of man sin entring into the world and by sin death and corruption of nature ruling and conquering all living creatures so that by sin death corruption and depravation of nature and naturall things the world hereby not being what it was at first at sundry times and severall ages and in divers places from various causes or rather imperfections and blemishes of nature it hath been observed to produce monsters of severall kinds some of one fashion and some of another some whose causes were knowne and understood by the learned judicious and some whereof the reason was inscrutable but of all Monsters those Monsters in soule seeme more marvellous than those which are either deficient or redundant in body The subject that now we are to treat of hath not been esteemed a Monster in body nor a wonder to behold in person but whether a monster in soule if he thinke to have any or a wonder to behold his profession and practises I leave to other mens judgements who not so much as feeling the least part of h●s tyranny shall but onely heare that one procreated of * He was born in Cheap-side his father being an Haberdasher of small wares kept the corner stall next unto Cheap-Crosse was brought up in the University of Cambridge ordinary parentage some well disposed kindred in so eminent a Citie as being the chiefe in the Kingdome and brought up in so famous an Universitie should commit so many monstrous outrages and such prodigious wickednesse 2. His first preferments in the Vniversitie DUring his time at Cambridge he first attained unto a fellowship of a Colledge which was the beginning of his rising and so spent some yeares in that place where whilest he was fellow there fell out an accident which I cannot passe by but as it was reported to * By a credible person yet living me I shal relate this Mr. Wren greatly frequented one Mr. Parishes house and this Mr. Parish had a very handsome and proper woman to his wife in whose life time Mr. Wren lived a batchellour and since her death hath married a wife of his owne and they say he hath preferred or provided for Mrs Parishes children but to the matter this being known and well noted in the Towne that the little bird fluttered so often about Mr. Parishes house it happened that Dr. Batchcroft was in election to be Master of Keys Colledge which Mr. Wren hearing of said What He Why he is not a fit man to governe a Colledge which words came to Dr. Batchcrofts eare who afterwards upon some occasion speaking to Mr. Wren said I thanke you Mr. Wren it seemes I had your good word yet methinkes I might be as fit a man to governe a Colledge as you to governe a Parish which word strooke Mr. Wren with silence After this Mr. Wren attained to the degree of Doctor and obtained to be Master of Peterhousse and was preferred to be Clerke of the Kings Closet where he got the length of Canterburies foot so exactly that the freshmen of Cambridge smelt his Bishopricke at least two or three yeares before it fell knowing him to be a notable craftie insinuating fellow as they would often say among themselves 3. His bringing Latine Service into the Colledge THis wicked Wren being Master of Peter-house Colledge and Clerke of the Kings Closet besides other preferments being intimately familiar with Canterbury and being a quick-sighted bird and of an active spirit perceived the times drive so hard after Popery he smelt the way to a Bishoprick and studied nothing more than to please the Papists and Canterbury and among other devises he was noted to be either the first or one of them who brought in use againe Latine service in his Colledge thinking that young Students being trained up therein and used thereto would be an introduction to Latin service in Churches which when he should come to be Archbishop might be effected and in the meane time thought it would be excusable if any question should arise because the Rubrick of the Service book doth allow private prayers in any tongue that they themselves doe understand perhaps intending forrainers and strangers Churches here in England which words he spied and wrested to his own advantage and so brought up Latine Service in Peter-house and by his example some other Colledges did the like 4. His introducing Altars and bowing thereto ANother of his feats and that no small one to please Canterbury was the bringing in of an Altar which was the direct way to the bringing in of Masse for in vain should the Prelatists Papists labour to bring in the Masse if there should not first way be made for to bring in an Altar which after that they had but gotten that and Latine service and that both these were well setled and all quiet the work were more than almost done for how easie were it for the Priest having an Altar and Latine service to say Masse there being so little difference and the Countrey people so unable to distinguish them or to discerne the diversitie between Latine service and Latine Masse and how easie were it for the Prelatists to dispute and cavill upon transubstantiation especially when Controversies must be decided by Bishops an● Archbishops and they to have power of undoing other Ministers that should oppose them all which this wicked Wren well knowing he first practiseth to bring in an Altar and to doe it smoothly he first for many causes him moving makes an Altar of a Table and tumes it Altar-wise that so it may have an Altars place and after that it onely wants the name and for that purpose he will not all on a sudden baptize it anew but first promiscuously confounds the names of Table and Altar calling it sometimes one sometimes another and an Altar in one sense and a Table in another that so at last he might call it an Altar altogether and then being an Altar indeed and having both name and place the materialls if need be might easily be changed from wood to stone and so having Latine service or Masses a Priest an oblation as one of his Chaplains called it and an Altar the● wanted nothing that could give the
