Howel Doctor Hacket Doctor Heywood Doctor Westfield Doctor Walton Doctor Featly and Doctor Rives Doctor Brough Doctor Marsh Mr. Shute Mr. Hall and besides the Reverend D. Fuller now Dean of Durham since the naming of whom I think of the Reverend Mr. Udall These did not live more in the Alehouse then in the Church The Fame of their Piety and their Learning is long since gone throughout the Churches yet Mr. Shute was molested and vext to death and denied a Funeral Sermon to be preacht by Doctor Holdsworth as he desired Doctor Holdsworth was cast out of his Mastership in Cambridge sequestred from his Benefice in the City of London a long time imprisoned at Ely House and the Tower Doctor Walton who hath put forth the late Biblia Polyglotta was not onely sequestred but assaulted also and plundered and forced to flie Doctor Rives Doctor Howel Doctor Hacket and Mr. Hall were sequestred and plundered and forced to fly for their lives Doctor Marsh was sequestred and made to die in remote parts Doctor Brough was plundered as well as s●questred his Wife and Children turn'd out of doors and his Wife struck dead with grief Doctor Westfield was sequestred abused in the streets and forced to fly Doctor Featly was sequestred and plundered and died a Prisoner Doctor Fuller was sequestred and plundered and withall imprisoned at Ely House Mr. Udal was not onely sequestred himself but his bed-rid wife was also cast out of doors and inhumanely left in the open streets Doctor Heywood was sequestred and toss'd from prison to prison put in the Counter Ely House and the Ships his Wife and Children turn'd out of doors Could the Ejection of a few scandalous unlearned men supposing them really such and regularly ejected have made amends for such Riots as were committed upon men of so exceeding great worth Go from the City into the Countrey and you will find the case the very same Such venerable persons as Doctor Gillingham Doctor Hintchman Doctor Mason and Doctor Rauleigh Mr. Sudberie Mr. Threscross Mr. Simmons and Mr. Farrington and a very great multitude of the like whom nothing but want of Time and love of Brevity doth make me forbear to reckon further were used like Dunces and Drunkards by your Reformers though powerful Preachers and pious Men men so eminent for learning and so exemplary for life that 't is scandalous to be safe when su●h men suffer as Malefactors To let you see briefly what it was by which they were qualified for Ruine I will tell you a story of Mr. Simmons the most exemplary Pastor of Rayn in Essex who being sent for up to the House of Commons by a Pursevant was told That being an honest man he did more prejudice to the good cause in hand then a hundred Knaves and therefore would suffer accordingly So he did in great plenty his whole life after And who should be sent into his place but a scandalous Weaver who cannot seemingly be nam'd Do but read that sober and useful Book entitled Angliae Ruina and then you will be likely to change your stile If none had been thrown out of Oxford but Doctor Sheldon Doctor Mansell Doctor Sanderson Doctor Hammond or none out of Cambridge but Doctor Lany Doctor Brownrigg Doctor Cosins and Doctor Collins Mr. Thorndike Mr. Gunning Mr. Oley and Mr. Barrow no excuse could have been made for so great a Dishonour to Religion See Angliae Ruina ●r Mercurius Rustic But above all let me commend a famous passage to your remembrance Doctor Stern Doctor Martin Doctor Beale men of eminent Integrity exemplary Lives and exceeding great Learning and Heads of several Colledges in the University of Cambridge were carried away Captives from thence to London there thrust up into the Tower thence removed to another prison They often petitioned to be heard and br●●ght to Iudgement but could not obtain either Liberty or Triall After almost a years imprisonment they were by order from the Houses put all on ship-board it was upon Friday Aug. 11.1643 No sooner came they to the ship call'd The prosperous Sayler but straight they were put under Hatches where the Decks were so low as that they could not stand upright and yet were denied stools to sit on yea and a burden of straw whereon to lie There were crowded up in that little Vessel no less then 80 Prisoners of Quality Where that they might stifle one another the very Augur-holes and Inlets of any fresh Air were very carefully stopp'd up And what became of them after I have not heard But let these things serve to make up my first consideration Secondly Because you would
