Throne whereon he was shortly to receive a Crown even the most glorious Crown of MARTYRDOME After which he stiles him A glorious Martyr his blood Innocent blood yea thou extols his Innocency and Canonizeth him for a Saint in a Poeticall Elegie especially in these ensuing lines Through the hand Of base detraction practise to defame Thy spotlesse Virtues yet impartiall fame Shall do thee all just honour and set forth To all succeeding times thy matchlesse worth No Annalls shall be writ but what relate Thy happy influence both on Church and State Thy zeal to publike Order thy great parts For all affairs of weight thy love to Arts And to our shame and his great glory tell For whose dear sake by whose vile hands he fell A death so full of Merits of such price To God and man so sweet a sacrifice As by good Church-Law may his name prefer To a fixt Rubrick in the Calender And let this silence the pure Sects complaint If they make Martyrs we may make a SAINT c. And not onely these Anonymous Pamphleters but King Charles himself who not long before had given him an ample Pardon as a Traytor under his great Seal of England forgetting what he had done herein doth in his own Letter to the Queen dated Jan. 14. 1644. cry up this headlesse Arch-bishop for a Martyr yea deems his blood so meritorious so Innocent that being totally the Parliaments he beleeves it no presumption hereafter to hope that Gods hand of Justice for the Parliaments just effusion of his blood must be thence-forth heavier upon them and lighter upon him and his Anti-parliamentary Partie looking now upon their cause having passed by their faults If his blood so lately shed by the axe of Justice be already become so meritorious as to ballance the scales of Gods Justice in this manner we may justly fear it will in few years more grow into as great esteem at Court as Thomas of Beckets his Trayterly predecessors blood did in former times among the Prelatical Popish party who attributed more efficacy to it then to Christs and therfore presumed most blasphemously to pray to Christ himselfe to save them by his own but this Arch-Traytors blood in this distick Tu per Thomae Sanguinem quem prote impendit Fac nos Christe scandere quo Thomas ascendit But as the manifold glorious Victories miraculous Successes of the Parliaments Forces since his Execution have experimentally frustrated this his Majesties groundlesse Hope and Presumption that Gods hand of Iustice would be heavier upon the Parliaments Party but lighter upon him and his by reason of his crying blood it being never lifted up so extraordinarily so visibly for the Parliament before nor falling so heavily upon the King and his Partizans as since his beheading and the Kings overconfident relying on the Merits of the Blood of such a Traytot for successe in his warrs against the Parliament So I presume the setting forth of this History of his Tryall will soon Un-Martyr Un-Saint Uncrown this Arch-Imposter by presenting him in his Proper Colours stript of all Disguises and render him so desperately criminall so transcendently Trayterous in all respects especially in point of undermining the Protestant Religion wherein himself and his Parasites have endeavoured most of all to vindicate his Innocency that all Generations will unaminously pronounce him the Archest Enemy to the most active universall Underminer of the Protestant Religion established among us that ever breathed in English ayre and readily acknowledge that no Ecclesiasticall Annalls ever recorded his Paralell for multiplicity of desperate cunning Jesuiticall Stratagems secretly to subvert that Orthodox Reformed Religion which himselfe pretended to professe nay propagate and patronize It is far below the Magnanimity of my Spirit in the least measure maliciously to blast the Fame or revengefully to triumph over to trample upon the Ashes of a Vanquished Enemy whom I never dreaded or slandered all his life forgave and pittied both before and at his death the Memory of whose Capital crimes should have expired with his breath and been eternally buried in oblivion with his Corps by me had not Your Honors superiour Commânds necessitated me to revive record them to Posterity since his death as well as to give them in evidence at his Tryall for Vindication of Your untainted Justice and the Common Good to deter all others in future Ages from the like Trayterous Practises If any therefore deem my Expressions concerning him or his actions over-lavish malicious or revengefull let them impartially compare them with his Criminall Offences here recorded which they hardly equalize or fall far short of and then if they warrant not the harshest Epithites the blackest Characters here bestowed on him let me eternally bear the blame and shame but if they be scarce proportionate to his Treasons his grand Misdemeanors which must be blazoned and set forth in language suitable to their transcendent Hainousnesse not minced not extenuated by over-diminutive expressions I hope none will or can be so injurious as to charge me with Calumny much lesse Scurrility or Revenge who never yet particularly demanded received the least farthing Recompence from him or any of his for all the barbarous Cruelties Oppressions Imprisonments great Losses Dammages I sustained eight years space together onely for discovering opposing countermining to the utmost of my skill and power all Popish Plots Innovations Proceedings of this Arch-Prelate and his confederates to undermine our Religion re-establish Popery among us by degrees and set up an arbitrary Papall power the better to effect the same the onely reall cause of all my former sufferings Yet three things there are I foresee may possibly be objected against me by his complices which need some Answer to prevent their causelesse Calumnies The first is That in this History of his Tryall I have at large inserted some particular papers passages especially in the Catalogue of the Arminian Popish Errours vented in and of the clauses against them purged out of late new Printed Books which were not actually or at least fully read at the Lords Bar Therefore I am guilty of partiality and unfaithfulnesse in relating the Evidence given in against him at the Bar by these additions to it To which I answer First that all the Evidence Passages here at large recited with many more were prepared and ready by me at the Bar yea the effect of every Paper passage here recorded was in generall terms opened pressed at the tryall though not all fully read and particularly urged for want of time which I have here more largely inserted for clearing the truth and satisfying the Reader the most materiall passages being onely read at large the rest of like nature but briefly referred to in generall to avoyd prolixity and husband time Secondly that I have largely recorded none of these Passages here by way of New Additionall Evidence requiring answer but onely for illustration or corroboration of the old fully given

money too But howsoever his Lordship hath get a very full estate in that Kingdome and hee doth very wisely to fortifie it as well as hee can But besides these I have long since heard though you now mention it not that his Lordship hath done greater service to the Church in some other particulars as namely to the Bishoprick of Lismore and the Colledge of Yong-Hall for which it is great pitty but that his Lordships memory should bee preserved in the Church Thus I have given Your Grace a distinct answer to all the Particulars in Your Letter But for the Tombe which occasioned all the rest I will not take upon mee to judge unlesse I were upon the place how fitly or unfitly it stands there but shall wholly leave it to the view and resolution which shall thereupon bee taken in that place So I leave you to the Grace of God and rest Your Lordships very loving friend and Brother Will Cant. Lamb. March 1633. But some may perchance inquire what was the ground of this Archbishops introduction of these Innovations first of all into Cathedrall Churches Certainly one principall cause of this his method was to make these Mother Churches as he stiled them patterns of imitation for all Daughter Churches and Chapells within the the whole Diocesse that so the Proverbe in Ezech. 16. v. 44. 45. might be verified of them Behold every one tht useth Proverbes shall use this Proverbe against thee saying AS IS THE MOTHER SO IS HER DAVGHTER Thou art thy Mothers Daughter That this was one chiefe end of his to corrupt all Parish Churches and Chappell 's by these Cathedralls examples was infallibly manifested First by the very words of the Order made at the Councell Table at White Hall the third of November 1633 concerning the standing of the Communion Table in Saint Gregories Church neere Paules printed in Dr. Heylins Coale from the Altar and in his Antidotum Lincolniense Sect. 1. c. 2. p. 62. which order was thus printed by the Archbishops direction the chiefe stickler in the procuring and prime Clerke in the penning of it wherein it is positively resolved That all other Churches ought to be guided by the Cathedrall Mother Church whereon they depend and that the Communion Table in Saint Gregories Church removed from the middle of the Chancell to the upper end and there placed Altar-wise in such manner as it standeth in the Cathedrall and Mother Church of St. Paul should so continue that so there might be no difference betweene it and the said Cathedrall Mother Church Secondly by diverse bookes published in print by the Arch-Bishops speciall direction and app obation expresly averring That all Parochiall Churches ought to be guided by the patterne of the Mother Church upon the which they doe depend The Arch-Bishop himselfe in his discourses and these creatures of his in their Bookes applying and urging this leaden rule of theirs in particular for the rayling in of Communion Tables placing them Altarwise against the East end of the Quire and bowing unto them in all Parish Churches because this was done and practised in all Cathedrall Churches by vertue of his New Statutes and Injunctions though not in former times This foundation being layd in our Cathedralls for the like Popish Innovations in all Parochiall Churches wee shall in the next place prosecute this pursuite of his Innovations from our Cathedralls to Parochiall Churches and Chappell 's Wee shall begin with Saint Gregories Church neare Paules where the case was thus About tenne yeares since this Church was repaired by the Parishoners to their great cost at which time the Deane and Chapter of Pauls under whose jurisdiction it is caused the Picture of Saint Gregory to bee set up in the Church and the Communion Table to bee removed rayled about and set Altarwise against the East-end of the Chancell Whereupon Master Wyan and diverse of the Parishioners being offended at it appealed from the Deans and Chapters Order as being against Law to the Arches upon which by the Archbishops means an Order came from Secretary Windebank to call the Parishioners to the Councell Table concernning this Appeale the removing of the Table where they appeared at the appointed time with their Councell The King himselfe the Arch-Bishop and many of the Lords were then present where the businesse being debated before them the Archbishop stood up and with great earnestnesse more like an Advocate then Judge justified maintained this removing and rayling in the Table reading Queene Elizabeths Injunctions to warrant it but left out this most materiall clause that made quite against him Saving when the Communion of the Sacrament is to be administred at which time the same shall be so placed in good sort within the Chancell as whereby the Minister may bee more conveniently heard of the Communicants in his prayer and ministration and the Communicants also more conveniently and in greater number communicate with the said Minister And after the Communion done from time to time the said holy Table to be placed where it stood before The King said hee liked it well that the Table should stand as it used to do heretofore to which the Archbishop answered that if it stood so the Minister could not so well see who kneeled at the Sacrament and who kneeled not To which the King replied then let the seates bee pulled downe Then the Councell for the Parish alleadged that Bishop Jewell in his Reply to Harding Artic. 3. Diuis 26. and Artic. 13. Diuis 6. and Master John Fox in his Acts and Monuments Edit 1610. pag. 1211. 1212. both which Books were enjoyned to be kept in every Church for the people to read in as containing the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England and nought repugnant thereunto maintained and asserted That the Communion Table ought to stand in the MIDST OF THE CHVRCH AMONG THE PEOPLE and not Altar-wise against the wall Hereupon the Archbishop stood up in an angry manner and sayd If this be the use they make of these Books Jewell Fox I desire they may be taken out of Churches and Sir Henry Martin saying merrily that this Table placed close along the wall would make a good Court-cupboord The Archbishop therupon replied that Sir Henry was a stigmaticall Puritan in his bosome All which particulars were proved upon oath by Master Wyan Mr. Clearke and Captain Stackhouse Wherupon by the Archbishops violence this Order was then made against the Parishioners for the standing of that Table Altar-wise as it was situated by the Deanes and Chapters Order and appointment At Whitehall the third day of Novemb 1633.

Altar of stone rayled in at the East end of the Quire Altarwise adorned after the popish manner with all kind of Romish furniture was by this Archbishops means as appears by divers letters between D. Cosens and him found in his Study at Lambeth first questioned in the High-commission Court at Durham then brought into the High-commission Court at Lambeth after that transmitted thence to the High-commission at York and there for this Sermon of his alone against these illegall Innovations though a reverend grave Divine every way conformable to the established doctrine and ceremonies of the Church deprived of his Prebendary Benefice in Durham and all his Ecclesiasticall preferments degraded from his Ministery fined 500 li. and imprisoned divers years till this present Parliament to his utter ruine and above ten thousand pound dammage the Archbishop disposing of his Livings to his own Creatures This sentence of his in the High-commission at York was seconded with another though not of so high a nature in the High-commission at Lambeth Mr. Charles Chaucy Minister of Ware in Hertfordshire within the Diocesse of London was articled against in the High-commission by the Archbishops procurement when Bishop of London together w th one Humphrey Parker only for opposing the rayling in of the Communion Table at Ware and speaking against it as an innovation Mr. Gellibrand testified upon his oath that at the hearing of this cause Doctor Merick of councell with Mr. Chaucy endeavoured to excuse and justifie this his opposition dislike of the new Rayle because it was first set up by some few of the parishioners without any warrant from the Bishop of the Dioces or his Chancellour as was proved whereupon the Archbishop grew exceeding angry and threatned to suspend the Doctor from his practise for pleading thus in his Cliants behalfe whereupon the Doctor not daring to make any further defence Mr. Chaucey was suspended from his Ministery both he and Parker sentenced to make a publick submission and recantation in open Court condemned in costs of suit taxed at 40 li. which they were enforced to pay imprisoned till they had performed the order of the Court or put in bond to do it This was further manifested by the sentence and recantation it selfe 4 Ian. 1635. recorded in the High Commission Register Lib. A. f. 264. 266. 331. lib. C. which sentence was read at the Lords Barre in forme ensuing Officium Dominorū cont Carolum Chauncy Clericum nuper Vicarium de Ware in Com. Hertford Humphridum Parker Y●oman Do. Ryves Die Iovis viz. 26 Novemb. 1635 aoram Commis Regis apud Lambeth At which day and place the said Chauncy and Parker being publickly called for appeared personally in whose presence the proofs taken and made in this cause against them were there publickly read which done Dr. Ryves his Majesties Advocate and Dr. Parry of councell for the Office enforced the proofes made against them and after that Dr. Zouch Dr. Merrick and D. Lewyu being of Counsell for the defendants enforced the proofs made for their defence upon consideration whereof it evidently appeared to the Court out of the proofs had and made in this cause that for three or two years next before the year of our Lord 1633. the said Charles Chauncy was Vicar of Ware articulate within which time the Church wardens of the Parish of Ware for the avoiding of confusion and disorder at the time of administration of the holy Communion because some were conceived to receive it sitting or leaning in their seats at a generall meeting of the parishioners and with the consent of the greater part of them agreed that the Communion Table should be placed in the Chancell of the parish-Church of Ware and a Rayle set round about it with a bench thereunto affixed whereon the communicants might kneele that accordingly a Rayle with such a bench was set afterwards about the Communion Table in the middle of the Chancell of the said Church of Ware and the same was approved of and confirmed by the Lord Bishop of London Ordinary of the place and M. Doct. Duck his Chancelour but the foresaid rayle and bench was not set up untill an Order came from the Ordinary for the erecting thereof That M. Chauncey strongly opposed the setting up of the rayle and bench about the Communion Table and professed thereupon that he would leave the place or to that effect and further gave out in speeches that the parishioners had set up that rayle and bench of purpose to drive him away with many other indiscreet speeches expressing his great dislike thereof That the said M. Chauncey and Humphry Parker laboured to divert the parishioners of Ware from making and setting up of a rayle and bench about the Communion Table And that the said H. Parker for his part when the rayle and bench were set up about the Communion Table and the Communion there celebrated by M. Craven the now Minister and when as M. Craven had perswaded the communicants there to come up to the Chancell to receive the holy Communion refused so to do that the said Humphry Parker made a journy the time articulate from Ware to Marsten Lawrence in Northamptonshire to the dwellinghouse of M. Chauncey being near fifty miles distant from Ware to speak with M. Chauncey at which time M. Chauncey upon conference had with Humphry Parker promised to come to Ware and accordingly did so lodged at the house of the said Humphry Parker That the said M. Chauncey as well at his return to Ware in the said Parkers house as at other times in other places in presence of divers of the parishioners of Ware used many reproachfull speeches against the setting up of the said rayle and bench in contempt of the just proceedings of his Ordinary and the lawfulnesse thereof as the Court conceived and pronounced viz. the said M. Parker then and there speaking of the setting up of the said rayle and bench affirmed that it was an Innovation a snare to mens consciences superstitious a breach of the second Commandement an addition to Gods worship and a block in M. Cravens way meaning and speaking of M. Craven now Vicar of Ware who is a learned and conformable Minister and that the said M. Chauncey after the setting up of the said rayle and bench took it in such ill part that he never ministred the holy Communion more there That M. Parker derided the same rayle and kneeling bench thereunto affixed and scoffed at the setting up thereof saying it would serve far better purpose in his Garden or to be set up in his Garden or to such like effect All which the premises being well weighed and considered of and after mature the liberation had of all that was there said and enforced by the counsell of either side the said M. Chauncey and Humphry Parker were both of them pronounced guilty of a contempt against their Ordinary and jurisdiction Ecclesiasticall and of raising a Schisme and

though it stood in most Parish Churches the other way yet whither there be not more reason the Parish should be made conformable to the Cathedrall and Mother Churches then the Cathedralls to them I leave to any reasonable man to judge So as his Innovations begun in Cathedralls were purposely introduced there first of all to draw on Parish Churches to Popish conformity with them in these Innovations Next in particular we reply that the alteration of the standing of the Lords Table and rayling it in Altarwise was no wayes warranted by the Queens Injunctions but contrary to them as wee have largely manifested That though this was not done immediately by himselfe but by the Deane and Chapter of Paules yet he was the Originall author of it and justified it when complained of That he publikely checked the Councell Parishioners and sir Henry Martin before the King and Lords for opposing this Innovation and alleadging Bishop Iewill and Mr. Fox against it desiring his Majesty to take these Bookes out of the Church if they made no better use of them then to oppose this Novelty That he carried himselfe more like an Advocate then Judge in this Cause and when the King himselfe was satisfied and would have it stand as formerly his violence was such that he over-ruled both King and Councell and drew up the Order forecited in their names for establishing this Innovation which favours of his stile and spirit the guilt whereof must rest principally on him 2ly The comming up to the Rayles was pressed by his Visitors Agents authority and those excommunicated who refused to come up and receive at the New Rayle to which certainly it was never the minde of the Common Prayer Book the Communicants should draw neare since there were no Rayles to draw neare and kneele at till this Archbishop enjoyned them to be set up in imitation of the Papists as we have proved but this drawing neare is rather a drawing neare to Christ by faith with our hearts and affections or else a drawing neare to the body of the Church of Chancell where the Lords Table is to be placed to the Minister officiating as it is expounded by the Q●eens Jujunctions 28 Canon The Table when the holy Communion shal be administred shal be placed in so good sort within the Church or Chancel as thereby the Minister may be more conveniently heard of the Communicants in his prayer and administration and the Communicants also may more conveniently and in more number communicate with the Minister 3ly We answer that the Lords Table was ordained only to administer the Sacrament thereat not to read second service at it for which the Reading Pew is appointed as the Common-prayer Book the Homilies of the worthy receiving the Sacrament and reparing Churches Queen Elizabeths Injunctions the Canous made 1571. p. 18. and the 82. 83. Canons Anno 1603. resolve Now this Archbishop enjoyned second service now to bee read at the Lords Table when there was no Communion and where it was rayled in at the upper end of the Quite not brought downe into the body of the Church or Chancell contrary to the Rubrick in the Common Prayer Booke which expresly determines That the Epistle and Gospel chiefe parts of this second service shall be read where the two Lessons are with a loud voice that the people may heare the Minister that readeth them the Minister standing and turning himselfe as he may best be heard of ALL such as be present which he cannot be if he read them at the upper end of the Chancell remote from the people where the Churches are great or the Ministers voyce low This innovation then which was never practised in any Parish Church till of late though used in some Cathedralls wherein the Rubrick enjoynes the Communion every Sunday in the yeare at least to be administred which was wholly omitted and the second service at the Table left to supply it is directly contrary to the Rubricke Homilies Injunctions Canon 4ly It is evident that Crucifixes were set up in many Parish Churches Chapells of the Kingdome which though we cannot prove to be done by his expresse particular Command yet certainly it was by his example or incouragement who repaired and set up Crucifixes in his owne Chappell 's at Lambeth Croyden and one over the Altar in Passion week in the Kings owne Chappell at White-Hall Besides those who erected them were either his owne Chaplaines or Faverites who knew his minde and did it for to imitate and please his Grace to gaine some further preferments For the Images set up in the New b Chappell in Tuttle fields we b have proved that the Arch-bishop promised to bestow a new Window on it that thereupon the old was taken downe the Kings Armes removed and those Images with the Archbishops owne Armes as the Donor of it set up that his Chaplaine gave directions about the VVindow and Mr. Sutton sweares that the money for new glasing it was paid since the Archbishops commitment to the Tower by his direction as he believeth A cleare evidence that he was the Author and director of this worke notwithstanding all his shifts to elude it 5ly Though the Archbishop made not these Bishops Visitation Oathes and Articles yet he made all of them Bishops who durst do nothing in their Diocesse or Visitations but by his direction to whom they gave an Annuall Accompt of their proceedings in writing as we have manifested Besides its apparent that all these Visitation Articles were made in pursuance of his owne Archiepiscopall Injunctions Instructions and himselfe approved of these their Oathes Articles never checking nor questioning them for them though their Metropolitan yea himselfe prescribed the selfe same things in his Metropoliticall Visitations by printed Articles written Injunctions or private Jnstructions as these Bishops did in imitation of him Therefore hee must Answer for these their Articles Oathes proceedings as farre forth as they who were but his Instruments Sixtly For his Answer to the particular Cases wee shall returne these Replyes 1. That though Mr. Smart was censured by the High Commission at Yorke yet he was first imprisoned here at London and transmitted from the High Commission here to York by this Archbishops meanes who complyed with Dr. Cosin in his prosecution and disposed of his livings after his deprivation as we can prove by sundry Letters found in his Study As for Mr. Smarts Sermon it was neither scandalous nor factions but Orthodox and Iuditious against the Popish Jnnovations introduced in the Cathedrall of Durham where he was the ancientest Prehend deserving rather applause then any censure as both Lords and Commons have resolved upon a full hearing and awarded him reparations and Damages for his unjust censure 2ly Mr. Chancy spake no contemptuous words at all against the Rayle nor of setting it up in his Garden His suspention was illegall not only without but against Law and Canon As for his submission it was forced and a
