A67904	The life of William now Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, examined. Wherein his principall actions, or deviations in matters of doctrine and discipline (since he came to that sea of Canturbury) are traced, and set downe, as they were taken from good hands, by Mr. Robert Bayley, a learned pastor of the Kirk of Scotland, and one of the late commissioners sent from that Nation. Very fitting for all judicious men to reade, and examine, that they may be the better able to censure him for those thing [sic] wherein he hath done amisse. Reade and judge.; Ladensium autokatakrisis, the Canterburians self-conviction	Baillie, Robert, 1599-1662.	1643 (1643)	Wing B462; ESTC R22260	178,718	164

story was forged as that learned Knight Sir Vmphrey Lyne by the ocular inspection of that originall manuscript did since demonstrate but the onely reason of the calling of it backe as his Grace makes Heylen declare to us was the dinne and clamour which Mr. Burton then one of the Ministers of London made against it Conterbury himselfe is nothing afraid to lend his owne hand to pull downe any thing that seemes crosse to Arminianisme The certainty of Salvation the assurance of Election is such an eye-sore that to have it away hee stands not with his owne hand to cut and mangle the very Liturgie of the Church otherwise a sacred peace and a noli me tangere in England in the smallest points were they never so much by any censured of errour yet if any clause crosse Arminianisme or Poperie his grace doth not spare without dinne to expurge it did it stand in the most eminent places thereof in the very morning prayers for the Kings person Here was this clause fixed since the reformation who are the Father of thine elect and their seed this seemed to bee a publike profession that it was not unlawfull for King Charles to avow his certainty and perswasion that God was his Father and hee his adopted Childe elected to salvation His grace could not endure any longer such a scandalous speech to bee uttered but with his own hand scrapeth it out Being challenged for it by Master Burton and the out-cryes of the people he confesseth the fact only for excuse bringeth three reasons of which you may judge First he saith It was done in his Predecessours time Doth not this make his presumption the more intolerable that any inferiour Bishop living at the very eare of the Archbishop should mint to expurge the Liturgie Secondly Hee pretends the Kings command for his doing Doth not this encrease his guiltinesse that hee and his followers are become so wicked and irrespective as to make it an ordinary pranke to cast their owne misdeeds upon the broad back of the Prince Dare hee say that the King commanded any such thing motu proprio Did hee command that expunction without any information without any mans advise Did any King of England ever assay to expurge the publike Bookes of the Church without the advise of his Clergie Did ever King Charles meddle in any Church matter of far lesse importance without Doctour Lads counsell The third excuse That the King then had no seed How is this pertinent May not a childlesse man say in his prayers that God is the Father of the Elect and of their seed though himselfe as yet have no seed But the true cause of his anger against this passage of the Liturgie seemeth to have been none other then this Arminian conclusion that all faith of election in particular of personall adoption or salvation is nought but presumption That this is his Graces faith may appear by his Chaplains hand at that base and false story of Ap-Evan by Studley wherein are bitter invectives against all such perswasions as puritanick delusions yea hee is contented that Chouneus should print over and over again his unworthy collections not onely subscribed by his chaplain but dedicated to himself wherein salvation is avowed to be a thing unknown and whereof no man can have any further or should wish for any more then a good hope And if any desire a cleare confession behold himselfe in those opuscula posthuma of Andrewes which hee setteth out to the world after the mans death and dedicates to the King avowing that the Church of England doth maintaine no personall perswasion of predestination which Tenet Cardinall Peroun had objected as presumption White also in his answer to the dialogue makes mans election a mysterie which God hath so hid in his secret counsell that no man can in this life come to any knowledge let bee assurance of it at great length from the ninety seventh page to the hundred and third and that most plainly But to close this Chapter passing a number of evidences I bring but one more which readily may bee demonstrative though all other were laid aside By the Lawes and practises of England a Chaplains licencing of a booke for the presse is taken for his Lord the Bishops deed So Heylen approven by Canterbury teacheth in his Antidotum and for this there is reason for the Lawes give authority of licencing to no chaplaine but to their Lords alone who are to be answerable for that which their servant doth in their name Also the chaplaine at the licencing receives the principall subscribed copie which hee delivereth to his Lord to bee laid up in his episcopall Register William Bray one of Canterburies Chaplaines subscribed 〈◊〉 collectiones 〈◊〉 as consonant to the doctrine of the Church of England meet for the presse The authour dedicated the treatise to my L. of Canterbury it was printed at London 1636. into this booke the first article which by the confession of all sides draws with it all the rest is set downe in more plain and foul tearmes then Molina or any Jesuite sure I am then Arminius Vorstius or any their followers ever did deliver teaching in one These those three grosse errours 1. That mens faith repentance perseverance are the true causes of their Salvation as Misbeleefe Impenitencie Apostasie are of Damnation Doth Bellarmine goe so farre in his Doctrine of justification and merit 2. That those sinnes are no lesse the true causes of reprobation then of damnation 3. That mens faith repentance perseverance are no lesse the true causes of their eternall election then misbeliefe or other sinnes of their temporall damnation Let charity suppone that his grace in the midst of his numerous and weightie imployments hath been forced to neglect the reading of a booke of this nature though dedicate to himselfe albeit it is well known that his watchfull eye is fixed upon nothing more then Pamphlets which passes the presse upon Doctrines now controverted yet his grace being publikly upbraided for countenancing of this book by Doctor Bastwick in the face of the Starre-chamber and being advertised of its dedication to himselfe of the errours contained in it yea of injuries against the King of the deepest staine as these which strooke at the very roote of his supremacie and that in favour of Bishops When in such a place Canterbury was taxed for letting his name stand before a Booke that wounded the Kings Monarchicall government at the very heart and did transferre from the Crowne to the Miter one of its fairest diamonds which the King and his Father before him did ever love most dearely no Charity will longer permit us to believe but his Grace would without further delay lend some two or three spare howers to the viewing of such a piece which did concerne the King and himselfe so neerely Having therefore without all doubt both seen most narrowly sifted all the corners of

pit whence as he sayes they did first come up Neither is it like that these sentences come from the heart of Doctor Balcanquel the penman of them for he was a member of Dort Synod and brought up in the Church of Scotland the man is not unseene in the Popish Tenets How is it possible that his conscience should absolve the Arminian errours of all Popery and all contrarietie to the Scottish confession May any be so uncharitable as to suspect his late promotion in Durham hath altered so soon his minde Sure not long since both in England and Scotland hee did desire to be esteemed by his friends one of those whom Canterbury did maligne and hold downe for his certain and known resolutions and reputed abilities to oppose his Graces Arminian and Popish innovations His Majesty being certainly cleer of this imputation and readily also Balcanquel the Amanuense on whom can the fault ly but Canterbury the directors back For the world knowes that on his shoulders for common alone the King doth devolve the trust of all Bookish and Ecclesiasticall affaires that concerne him that at his commandement 〈◊〉 hath written in the Kings name that part at the least of the declaration which patronizeth the Arminian persons and cause we doe not conjecture but demonstrate by the constant and avowed course of his Graces carriage in advancing Arminianisme at all occasions in all the Kings Dominions That this may appeare consider his practises not so much amongst us and in the Irish Church where yet his hand is very nimble to set these ungracious plants and to nippe off all the overspreading branches of any tree that may overtop them For who else in a moment hath advanced Doctor Bramble not only to the sea of Derrie but to the Kings 〈◊〉 Generall Who sent Doctor Chappell first to the University of Dublin and then to his Episcopall chair Who holds 〈◊〉 the head of that Orthodox Primat and of all who kyth any zeale there to the trueth of God Who caused not onely refuse the confirmation of these Arminian Articles of Ireland in the last Parliament but threatned also to burne them by the hand of the Hangman Whose invention are these privy Articles which his creature Derry presents to divers who take Orders from his holy hands Wee will passe these and such other effects which the remote rayes of his Graces countenance doe produce in so great a distance Onely behold How great an increase that unhappy plant hath made there in England where his eye is neerer to view and his hand to water it In the 25 yeare at the very instant of King James death Doctor Montague with Doctor Whites approbation did put to the Presse all the Articles of Arminius in the same termes with the same arguments and most injurious calumniations of the Orthodox Doctrine as Spalato and the Remonstrants had done a little before but with this difference that where those had dipped their pens in inke Doct. Montagu doeth write with vinegar and gall in every other line casting out the venome of his bitter spirit on all that commeth in his way except they be fowles of his own feather for oft when hee speakes of Jesuites Cardinals Popes hee anoints his lips with the sweetest honey and perfumes his breath with the most cordiall tablets If any doe doubt of his full Arminianisme let them cast up his Appeale and see it cleerely in the first and second Article of Election and Redemption hee avoweth his aversenesse from the doctrine of Lambeth and Dort which teacheth that God from eternity did elect us to grace and salvation not for any consideration of our faith workes or any thing in us as causes respects or conditions antecedent to that decree but onely of his meere mercy And that from this Election all our faith works and perseverance doe flow as effects Hee calleth this the private fancie of the Divines of Dort opposite to the doctrine of the Church of England For this assertion he 〈◊〉 the Synod of Lambeth as teachers of desperate doctrine and would father this foule imputation but very falsely on the conference at Hampton Court Againe hee avoweth positively that faith goeth before Election and that to all the lost race of Adam alike Gods mercy in Christ is propounded till the parties free-will by believing or mis-believing make the disproportion antecedent to any divine either election or reprobation One of the reasous why King Iames stiled Arminius disciples atheists was because their first article of conditionall election did draw them by an inevitable necessitie to the maintenance of Vorstian impiety For make mee once Gods Eternall decree posterior and dependant from faith repentance perseverance and such works which they make slow from the free will of changeable men that Decree of God will be changeable it will be a separable accident in him God will bee a composed substance of subject and true accidents no more an absolute simple essence and so no more God Vorstius ingenuitie in professing this composition is not misliked by the most learned of the Belgick Arminians who use not as many of the English to deny the cleare consequences of their doctrine if they be necessary though never so absurd However in this very place Montagu maintaines very Vorstian atheisme as expresly as any can do making the divine essence to be finite his omni-presence not to be in substance but in providence and so making God to be no God This thought long agoe by learned Featly objected in print to Montagu lyes still upon him without any clearing Certainly our Arminians in Scotland were begun both in word and writ to undertake the dispute for all that Vorstius had printed I speak what I know and have felt oft to my great pains Arminianisme is a chaine any one linke whereof but specially the first will draw all the rest yet see the other also expressed by Montagu In the Articles of Grace and Freewill not only hee goes cleare with the Arminians teaching that Mans will hath ever a faculty to resist and oft times according to the doctrine of the Church of England actually doth resist reject frustrate and overcome the most powerfull acts of the spirit and grace of God even those which are employed about regeneration sanctification justification perseverance Not onely doth hee thus far proceed but also hee avowes that all the difference which is betwixt the Church of England and Rome in this head of freewill is in nothing materiall and really long agoe to be ended and agreed amongst the most judicious and sober of both the sides For the fifth of perseverance hee is as grosse as any either Remonstrant or Molinean Jesuite professing that no man in this life can have more assurance not to fall away both totally and finally from all the grace he gets then the devils had once in Heaven and Adam once in Paradise Behold the Arminian ensigne fairly
