A31649	An answer of Humphrey Chambers, D. D. rector of Pewsey, in the county of Wilts, to the charge of Walter Bvshnel, vicar of Box, in the same county published in a book of his entituled, A narrative of the proceedings of the commissioners appointed by O. Cromwel for ejecting scandalous and ignorant ministers, in the case of Walter Bushnel, &c. : with a vindication of the said commissioners annexed : humbly submitted to publick censure.

held it viz. Mr. Sterne who lived formerly in a Living sequestred of Mr. Walkers at Chilmark and it may bee was there as a kinde of a Curate to Mr. Sanger Dr. Chambers Brother-in-law But at this time was destitute and therefore right or wrong a place must bee provided for him elsewhere This passage maketh it evident that any groundless and improbable probability is sufficient for Mr. Bushnel to build vehement complaints upon against mee and the Commissioners For here is an uncertain tale taken up at a distance from one who told another who told Mr. Bushnel something to this purpose that Mr. Bushnel must not stay at Box because that place was appointed for another man I cannot but think that if this tale were brought back to the first Author of it hee would disclaim it as spurious But bee it as it may bee doth this tale if true warrant Mr. Bushnel to note from it 1 That by their own confession his place was appointed for another man where is any such Confession of the Commissioners who ever heard it what if hee that first spake the words related spake without book or upon some uncertain conjecture than which nothing is more frequent doth this prove a Confession of the Commissioners themselves in the case Hee is very willing to beleeve that taketh such proofs And as to Mr. Bushnels second note upon this uncertain story wherein hee thinks belike hee hath paid mee home hee may know that Mr. Stern was never any kinde of Curate to my brother Sanger nor any way related to mee nor had I any special cause in the world to look after his settlement And therefore Mr. Bushnel doth mee and himself open wrong to write that because Mr. Stern it may bee was a kinde of Curate to my brother Sanger Therefore being destitute of a place right or wrong a place must bee provided for him and so which is the Conclusion driven at I and the Commissioners must needs bee guilty of prejudging Mr. Bushnels case Let any rational man judge whether Mr. Bushnels passion did not here put him quite out of his Argumentative faculty I was told likewise that there were heavy exceptions taken against mee that I came not amongst them Mr. Chambers Mr Byfield c. and that I did not make one at their meetings That I did not associate but rather that I not onely neglected but despised them or to some such purpose If any one spoke these words or to some such purpose to Mr. Bushnel certainly hee abused Mr. Bushnels eares by putting a most notorious falshood into them which can never bee proved And therefore I cannot but stand amazed at what Mr. Bushnel adds And doubtless with the Dr. and Mr. Byfield this was enough to make a man scandalous in the highest degree Doubtless this is a most notorious untruth as may bee proved by many instances of divers persons not associating yet dearly loved and highly prized both by Mr. Byfield and my self Shewing some reasons why Mr. Bushnel did not associate with us hee saith one reason was Because the persons who were the leading men amongst them were as fierce and rigid in their way as are any I beleeve on this side or beyond Tweed If Mr. Bushnel doth beleeve this then I am sure hee beleeveth as utter an untruth as was ever told The men hee aims at I know are profest enemies to fierceness and rigidness in their way and desire nothing more than that Brethern of several perswasions may walk in a way of Christian moderation Relating how Mr. Byfield insisted upon the Order that none might bee present at the Examination but the Commissioners and their assistants hee writes And what if they had heard or known them Were your questions such that you were ashamed to have them known or was it for fear the Country should hearing your questions and my answers think better of mee than you were willing It is well known that I earnestly moved that all that would might bee present at your examination and had prevailed therein had not the fore-going Order obstructed it Speaking of the time when the order of ejection was published against him Mr. Bushnel writes I observed that while my sentence was reading Mr. Chambers had pulled down his hat somewhat low on his face but the residue of his face which might bee seen looked very big and possibly might say within himself That now hee had taught mee to bring a man of 〈◊〉 it upon the stage to make him the discourse and laughter of the Country for leaving Claverton and going to Pewsy I easily beleeve Mr. Bushnel that hee did observe mee at this as at all times most watchfully if hee might possibly espy any thing in mee to be complained of But whereas hee saith that hee observed mee that whilst his sentence was read I pulled down my hat somewhat low upon my face but for the residue of my face which might be seen I looked very big any man without much observation may see much irrational spite in this relation which can hardly if possibly bee made to consist with it self For if I pulled down my hat somewhat low upon my face how could I then at the same time look bigg with a little part of my face I suppose that in common understanding bigge looks are such when men do not cover their faces somewhat low as men ashamed or afraid but do if possible make more of their faces than they are by high looks that they may out-face such persons or things as are before them I am confident in true reason before unbiassed Judges there is a more palpable contradiction between the two parts of this Relation than between the two oaths of Jone Pinchin and Jane Hendy upon which Mr. Bushnel doth tanto hiatu tragediate pag. 94 95. And as for that spiteful jeering groundless and most uncharitable comment which hee made upon my looks and wherein hee seems to have a faculty of looking into my heart which I could wish hee had when hee wrote and possibly hee might say within himself That now hee had taught mee to bring a man of his merit upon the stage to make him the discourse and laughter of the Country for leaving Claverton and going to Pewsey I defie it and such revengeful thoughts as it most injuriously fathers upon mee whereas they were conceived and born in his own breast and begotten of his own revengeful imagination and I further say that the coining of such cross comments upon the carriages of others is a most unwarrantable practice unbecoming a Christian and much more a Minister of the Gospel I can never sufficiently bless the Lord that it is beyond the reach of Mr. Bushnel and his witnesses to make mee though a most unworthy servant of Jesus Christ the discourse and laughter of the Country though possibly some prophane persons and scoffers at godliness on an Ale-bench may make
