A10207	A true table of all such fees as are due to the Bishop of London and all his depending officers, as commissaryes, registers, proctors, and apparitors, as hath been given in to his Majestyes commissioners in Starchamber under their own hands in the month of November M. DC. XXX. Whereto is added a true discovery of such fees ordinarily exacted by them upon his Majestyes good subjects contrary to this their own table and the statute laws of the land.

but as they formerly had their power from the Pope so doe they exercise this power and jurisdiction by Popish constitutions and customs and by vertue therof challenge power and right so to doe 2. This appeares to be true from that statute of 28. H. 8. which statute being the rule of our Archbishops Bishops and other the like Officers with all their ushering ceremonies shews plainly that they are the same they were in the dayes of darknes and so contrary to the Laws of God and the King yea even to the same act in the true meaning of it as all who will may see to be most plaine for first the King Peers and commons being at this time not instructed in the unlawfullnes of the Prelacy and their ushering ceremonies did not onely not aabridge anie of their former rights and Priviledges but gave them power to exercise them as before so they were not contrary to the word of God and the Laws of the Land now the Prelates being cunning Politicians and knowing what great revenues came into them and to the holy Father the Pope made use of their ignorance and the Kings clemency and so continued all or so manie of their Popish customs as might be sufficient to bring such an estate to them their followers as wherby their pride pomp and tyrannicall rule might be maintayned and hereby is it they Lord it over all Hereby is it they maintain their courtly governments and that they cite Summon and draw all causes and controversyes before themselves and their courtly government and do challenge power and right to doe so from their popish customs and constitutions which have been heretofore added to the severall seates and Seas of government and doe begin continue and end them in their owne name even as they did in the dayes of darknes onely they use not the Popes name but have left off his Supremacy although it seems to be their grief which appeares in this amongst other things in that they use him and his triple crowne for their character and superscrption in their seales of office Obje But it will be said to me they doe not exercise this rule from themselves nor from the Pope but as from the King and by his prerogative Ans To which I answere doe they not stand in relation to the Pope and more to him then to his Majesty when they will execute his laws to full and persecute his Majesties faithfull subjects even to death by imprisoning syning and banishing of them for the least neglect of them doth not every King speake by his owne lawes and by his own officers Now when the Popes lawes are thus executed by them doth it not declare them to be Subjects of his Kingdome .. 2. The Laws of the Land and so of the King are they not all snapped in peeces by them what Law can stand before them if they take-in with the offender Thirdly if they doe fine anie as they doe manie not onely without but against law under pretence for the King doe they not preferre one or other of their favourites to beg the fyne of the King and so he is never the better for it But if it were graunted that they stand by the King yet why should they execute these Laws among us seeing they doe us no good but hurt and annoy us and are needles and burdenous and I would to God both they and all their trash were footles too 3. No way can we more gratify the Pope nor give him hopes of a reentrance amongst us then by authorizing and practising his Lawes amongst us and this is the cause he hath so manie abetters and favourites amongst us and this causeth him to looke for a day still among us therefore can we doe the Lord no better service or his Majesty a better turn or the Land more good then by rooting out the pedlery wares of that man of sin by overthrowing this courtly governmeÌ„â— by which these merchants of Rome are grown rich mighty amongst us but alas my brethren may we not renue the coÌ„plaint of the Prophet Habak 1. 1. 2. 3. 4. to the Lord and say Oh Lord how long shall I cry unto thee and thou wilt not help even cry out and thou vvilt not hear cry out unto thee of violence and thou vvilt not save c. The Lavv is dissolved and Judgment doth never go forth for the wicked doth compasse about the righteous therefore wrong judgment proceedeth But let Gods people be comforted the plowman hath a time to sow and a time to reap and therefore let them know God hath a time for them and in his time will send forth that Angell to reap and commaund him to thrust in his sickle and reap for the harvest is ripe Apoc. 14. and to cut down all the vines of the vinyards of the earth and to cast them into the winepresse of the wrath of Almighty God although now the locusts be like horses prepared to battle Revel 9. 7. strongly linked together with ready prepared minds against all such as doe but mute against their cursed usurpation yet let them know they and all their popish titles and dignityes with that head of theirs the Pope from whom they received their life and power are now allmost if not altogether ripe unto the harvest they are now become as a baskett of summer fruit and the Lord will not long passe by them anie more let them looke on the yeare 1539. and gnaw their tongues with grief with the remembrance thereof as they have often done and remember that that lopping of their vines that then was was but a begining to prepare them for the fire of the wrath of God which shal be kindled here and shal burne in the bottom of Hell at the kindling wherof they and all other the merchants of these things which are wexen rich shall stand afar off for feare of her torment weeping and wailing and saying alas alas Rev. 18. As I am perswaded some of them have done allready and shall doe more for he that rides on the white horse whose name is the Word of God will goe forth and conquer and smite the heathen and rule them with a rod of iron for he it is that treadeth the winepresse of the wrath of allmighty God Revel 19. 15. Then shall the Churches rejoyce and all the holy saints therin when God hath revenged their bloods for among these men is found the blood of the Prophets and of the saints and of all that were slain upon the earth Rev. 18. 24. Having thus farr inlarged according to my poore ability to strike at the maine pillers of the bodye of this beast that tyrannise over the bodyes and consciences of all I will ad a notable project or compact plotted between some of their under officers the thing is no fable but a certain truth found out and confessed by the chief actor before the justice who at first thought to have punished it

the face of honesty in him come among them allthough the accusation be never so false yet hardly gets end in 12. monthes with much charge more disgrace then those shall have that are most clearely guilty many tymes For a dismission of a cause out of court 1. s 4. d. due for a search made by the Register after a cause is ended 12. d. but they take for that for the most part 1 s 6. d.

taken 2. s somtymes more yea what they can get of ignorant people In causes of office HEere Christian Reader I wold have thee to mynd that all theire extortions formerly mentioned are as nothing in comparison of these that followe for here they will pretend lawe where none is make them that be to stand asyde to serve their turns and bring in such strange devices to intrap men and spin out such long threeds with widdowes fatherles who for the most part are weake unskillfull therfore a fit prey for these kytes to sease upon as is allmost incredible having such shewes of friendship such turning devices to bring things about that a modest man may blush at to see their impiety which shal be manifest in theire due place as followeth For every dispensation for exhibiting an inventory into court 13. s 4. d. but taken 20. s yea somtymes summes of mony are given in this case with many other extortions raysed therupon if the cause be of any consequence to the party For an administration of the goods of the deceased where it exceeds not 5. pounds there is 10. d. due but commonly taken 5. s somtymes 7. 10. often besydes the cunning put-offs by which the cause shal be prolonged onely to weary out the party For an administration of the goods of a deceased amounting above 5. pounds and under 40. pounds there is due 5. s but taken commonly a marke 20. s taken besydes if but referred to pay the cause prolonged yea it may be one thing or other shal be checked at wherby the partye shal be excommunicated so not make an end of his accounts all for lesse then 3. or 4.

all somtymes 3. or 4. or somtymes 5. pounds never coms of without some rare tyme for less then 40. shillings here they will not stick to say they may take what they can gâ—t because say they the common lawe hath not set downe how much they shall take for an administration but have left it free to take what they can get For the Probate of a will where the goods doe not exceede 5. pounds ther

skinne of parchment and here note that it must be done by the Register or els there is nothing due note also the party free at his choyce whether he will not ingrosse it himselfe or set any other to

when the ingrossments are truly made by som other or otherwise to detaine keepe the executor from such wills so ingrossed is a most sinfull oppression punishable by the lawes of England For ingrossing every account the inventorie therto 2. s for every patch of parchment and here note as before the Administrator may doe it himselfe or imploye some other for his owne advantage that it is no lesse
