A67879	The life and death of VVilliam Lawd, late Archbishop of Canterburie: beheaded on Tower-Hill, Friday the 10. of January. 1644. I. Here is a brief narration of his doings all his life long faithfully given-out, first, that his sayings at his death may not be a snare to the perdition of souls. II. His doings and sayings being compared and weighed together, his sayings are found infinitely too light; yet of weight sufficient to presse every man to make a threefold use from all, of infinite concernment to his eternall soul. By E.W. who was acquainted with his proceedings in Oxford; was an eye and eare witnesse of his doings and sayings in his courts here at London; and other places under his dominion.

unsound protestants they and there is all the reason that I can give or the adversary either 3. They will not venter their lives so far and so freely for Gods Cause as the King and his Counsellours will Now the Lord God of gods be judge here and shew whether of these two parties He hath chosen to fight his Battels Amen But these words shall not passe so Though I may not handle them as I would I will handle them as I may after this manner Sith the Counseller has discharged the King in all the three particulars fore mentioned I will charge the Counsellor with them all three And because the chief among them is gone to his owne place the burden of the Charge shall lie still upon those of the same Conspiracy with him who will say as much for them-selves as he did against the peace of their King and the Lords Kingdomes The first charge is That this late Archbishop sought by all meanes to bring in Popery And brougt it in what was not in before Our Allegations and prooss are upon everlasting record there let them remaine I will alleage onely that which was in every mans eye He has thrust at those and thrustthem-out of their places and out of the Kingdome who set themselves against the bringing in of 〈◊〉 Therefore thrusting-out these 〈◊〉 of the Lord he en-deauoured to bring-Poperie-in Nay he did not onely indeavour but brought in Poperie A strang-worship into the Church Therefore plain poperie in 〈◊〉 Hee brought altars into the church plaine Poperie That also He bended and cringed before Wood and stone The grosest Popery that And yet he said perhaps men have clamoured against me That I would have brought in Popery They do not clamour they will affirm it till they dye And which must needs follow 2. That he was not so sound a Protestant as any man living for some protestants there are who are Sound indeed and understand the word as it is generally understood without any mentall reservations as we thinke he did not And have better evidence for their Religion than that they were borne and baptized in the Church of England which was all the evidence the man brought that he was a Protestant in his sence and so he might be a papist in ours A sound What Truly I cannot tell Not Protestant sure not as the Lutherans understand protestant much lesse as we understand the word but as unsound according to the Religion by Gods Law established as any man in this Kingdom I do not except any now of the Kings Councell now the stinke of whose 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 they are engaged in a warre against the Lord 〈◊〉 is come up even to their owne Nostrils and hath 〈◊〉 a filthy savour over all the Churches of God spread over the face of the whole Earth Sound Protestants they No sound Athiests and Papists they enemies and Adversaries to all Righteousnesse It will be manifest thorowoat the next particular of the charge 3. Doubtlesse he would make the world beleeve that he also would venture his Life as farre and as freely for the Protestant Religion as the King would doe We may beleeve him with some Reservation what they were I guess and may in part examine anon who 〈◊〉 the King into a warre against the Kingdomes of Christ that hee might sheath his sword in his Subjects bowels Hee and and his fellow Counsellours venter their lives as far and as freely for Religion It is for the Pagan or Popish Religion then an Abominable Religion for under the heavens of God never were there found such enemies such fighters against God and Religion by Gods Law established as these Counsellours are who have adventured farre and freely indeed their honours their Estates their lives their soules I and the life of their lives their God His favour His protection they venter farre and freely indeed their God and all for a Religion by their own law established And yet sayes he he and his fellowes will venter as farre and as freely for Religion he would make us beleeve by Gods Law established as any men in this Kingdome So he sayes And so they doe And so the Devill and his Angels will say and doe too and so they did just as they doe now the Dragon and his Angels fought with Michael and His Angels Revelation 12. So farre and as freely these Counsellours venter themselves Here is now the third particuliar of the charge charged as indeed it ought to be upon the wicked Counsellors who are at this Day to the King their Master as Athaliah and the house of Ahab were to that unhappy King Ahaziah she his Counsellour to do wickedly They his Counsellours to his destruction And yet let my soul abhor to deal unfaithfully with God and His King against the good word and minde of God and the knowledge He has beene pleased to communicate unto His poor servant therein which is this That the Lord God chargeth all the Bloodshed in a Kingdom that which is openly shed with both hands or with an high Hand before all Israel and before the Sunne all this the Lord chargeth upon the King He has set over that Kingdome So doth he all Abominable Idolatries committed before the eyes of His Holinesse and under the looke of the King all these that Bloodshed and these Idolatries The Lord of lords and God of gods chargeth upon the King though wicked men were his Counsellers to doe wickedly against God and His poore People Now I proceed in the same Page and to Page following where first we read his blessing upon this great and Populous City God blesse it said he Amen And blessed be His name He doth Blesse it in all the Peoples sight And His Blessings are the more conspicuously visible upon the City the more Audible the Adversaries curses are against the Prosperity of the same For indeed all that this Bishop did in the time of his reigne and all his fellow Counsellours do now was and is to bring down a curse upon the City certainly their zeal is so fiery against the prosperity of it that they doe call downe for fire from from Heaven to consume it as Sodom was consumed O how gratious a God is our God! our fins call for a curse our enemies call for a curse Free-grace with holds it it shall not come while the City keeps close to God and to his cause and cannot beare them which are evil and for Christ and His Names-sake and His Churches sake hath laboured and hath not fainted The adversary and Enemy to all Righteousnesse calls for a curse upon the City day and night and had he an Arme like God he would raine-downe fire and Brimstone upon it God will not suffer it so to be He hath blessed it and it must be blessed Blessed be his Name Blesse it still Lord blesse it still even because thy adversaries do curse blesse Thou and let thy Friends see an encrease of thy
