the 9th the second brother and next heir to the King deceased Katherine de Medices the Relict of Henry the 2d and the Mother of Charls layes claim to the Regency for who could have a greater care either of the young Kings person or estate than his natural Mother But against her a● being a meer stranger to the Nation and affairs of France Anthony of Burbo● Duke of Vendosme by descent and King of Navarr at the least in Title in the Right of Joan d' Albret his wife the sole Heir of that Crown layes his claim unto it as being the first Prince of the blood and therefore fitter to be trusted with the Regency by the rules of that government The Guisian faction joyn themselves to that of the Queen of whom they better knew how to make advantage than they could of the other and to that end endeavour by all subtil artifices to invest her in it To this end they insinuate themselves into the Duke perswade him either to relinquish his demands of the Regency or to associate himself with the Queen-Mother in the publick government and to joyn counsels with the Catholick party for suppressing the H●gonots Which that they might allure him to or at least take him off from his first persute they offered to procure a Divorce from his present wife and that instead of holding the Kingdom of Navarr in Right of his wife he should hold it in his own personal capacity by a grant from the Pope his wife being first deprived of it by his Holiness as suspected of Lutheranism that being divorced from his wife he should marry Mary Queen of the Scots with whom he should not only have the Kingdom of Scotland but of England also of which Elizabeth was to be deprived on the same account that for the recovery of that Kingdom he should not only have the Popes authority and the power of France but also the forces of the King of Spain and finally that the Catholick King did so much study his contentment that if he would relinquish his pretensions to the Crown of Navarr he should be gratified by him with the soverainty and actual possession of the Isle of Sardinia of which he should receive the Crown with all due solemnities By which temptations when they had render'd him suspected to the Protestant party and thereby setled the Queen-Mother in that place and power which so industriously she aspired to they laid him by as to the Title permitting him to live by the air of hope for the short time of his life which ended on the 17th of November Anno 1562. And so much of the game was plaid in earnest that the D●ke of Guise did mainly labour with the Pope to fulminate his Excommunications against Elizabeth as one that had renounced his authority apostated from the Catholick Religion and utterly exterminated the profession of it out of her Dominions But the Duke sped no better in this negotiation than the Count of Feria did before The Pope had still retained some hope of regaining England and meant to leave no way unpractised by which he might obtain the point he aimed at When first the See was vacant by the death of Pope Paul the 4th the Cardinals assembled in the Conclave bound themselves by oath that for the better setling of the broken and distracted estate of Christendome the Council formerly held at Trent should be resumed withall convenient speed that might be Which being too fresh in memory to be forgotten and of too great importance to be laid aside the new Pope had no sooner setled his affairs in Rome which had been much disordered by the harshness and temerity of his predecessor but he resolved to put the same in execution For this cause he consults with some of the more moderate and judicious Cardinals and by his resolution and dexterity surmounts all difficulties which shewed themselves in the design and he resolved not only to call the Council but that it should be held in 〈◊〉 to which it had been formerly called by Pope Paul the 3d. 1545. that it should rather be a continuance of the former Council which had been interrupted by the prosecution of the wars in Germany than the beginning of a new and that he would invite unto it all Christian Princes his dear daughter Queen Elizabeth of England amongst the rest And on these terms he stood when he was importuned by the Ministers of the Duke of Gvise to proceed against her to a sentence of Excommunication and thereby to expose her Kingdoms to the next Invader But the Pope was constantly resolved on his first intention of treating with her after a fair and amicable manner professing a readiness to comply with her in all reciprocal offices of respect and friendship and consequently inviting her amongst other Princes to the following Council to which if she should please to send her Bishops or be present in the same by her Ambassadors he doubted not of giving them such satisfaction as might set him in a fair way to obtain his ends Leaving the Pope in this good humour we shall go for England where we shall find the Prelates at the same imployment in which we left them the last year that is to say with setting forth the Consecrations of such new Bishops as served to fill up all the rest of the vacant Sees The first of which was Robert Horn Dr. in Divinity once Dean of Durham but better known by holding up the English Liturgy and such a form of Discipline as the times would bear against the schismaticks of Franckfort preferred unto the See of Winchester and consecrated Bishop in due form of Law on the 16th of February Of which we shall speak more hereafter on another occasion On which day also Mr. Edmond Scambler Batchelor of Divinity and one of the Prebendaries of the new Collegiat Church of St. Peter in Westminster was consecrated Bishop of the Church of Peterborough During the vacancy whereof and in the time of his incumbency Sir William Caecil principal Secretary of Estate possess'd himself of the best Mannors in the Soake which belonged unto it and for his readiness to confirm the same Mannors to him preferred him to the See of Norwich Anno 1584. Next followes the translation of Dr. Thomas Young Bishop of St. Davids to the See of York which was done upon the 25th of February in an unlucky hour to that City as it also proved For scarce was he setled in that See when he pulled down the goodly Hall and the greatest part of the Episcopal Palace in the City of York which had been built with so much care and cost by Thomas the elder one of his predecessors there in the year of our Lord 1090. Whether it were for covetousness to make money of the materials of it or out of fordidness to avoid the charge of Hospitality in that populous City let them guess that will Succeeded in the See of St. David's by Davis

not put the same in Execution Which being done by Pope Innocent the Fourth in Consecrating certain English Bishops at Lyons in France without the King's Knowledge Consent it was observed by Matthew Paris to be dishourable to the King and of great Dammage to the Kingdom So much the more by how much the Mischief grew more common and the Design concealed under that Disguise became more apparent which plainly was that being bound unto the Pope in the stricter Bonds and growing into a Contempt of their Natural King they might the more readily be inclined to worke any Mischief in the Kingdom The Danger whereof being considered by King Edward the First He came at last to this Conclusion with the Popes then being that is to say That the said Priors and Convents or the said Deans and Chapters as the Case might vary before they proceeded to any Election should demand the King 's Writ of Cong●● D'●esliere and after the Election made to crave his Royal Assent unto it for Confirmation of the same And so much was avowed by the Letters of King Edward the Third to Pope Clement the Fifth In which it was declared That all the Cathedral Churches in England were Founded and Endowed by His Progenitours and that therefore as often as those Churches became void of a Bishop they were filled again with fit Persons by His said Progenitours as in their own Natural and proper Right The like done by the French Kings to this very day partly by virtue of the Pragmatical Sanction established at the Councel of Basil and partly by the Concordate between King Francis the First and Pope Leo the Tenth And the like also challenged by the State of Venice within the Verge and Territories of that Republick For which consult the English History of that State Decad. 5. lib. 9. fol. 229. So that upon the whole matter there was no Innovation made as to this particular but a Restoring to the Crown an antient Power which had been Naturally and Originally in the Crown before But howsoever having the appearance of an Alteration from the received manner of Electings in the Church of Rome and that which was Established by the late King for the Realm of England it was repealed by Queen Mary and put into the former Chanel by Queen Elizabeth But from this Alteration which was made in Parliament in reference to the manner of Making Bishops and the way of Exercising their Authority when they were so made let us proceed unto such Changes as we finde made amongst the Bishops themselves The first whereof was the Election of Doctor Nicholas Ridley to the See of Rochester to which he had been nominated by King Henry the Eighth when Holbeck who preceded him was designed for Lincoln But the King dying shortly after the Translation of Holbeck was deferred till the Time of King Edward which was no sooner done but Ridley was chosen to succeed him although not actually Consecrated till the fifth of September A man of great Learning as the Times then were and for his excellent way of Preaching highly esteemed by the late King whose Chaplain he had been for many years before His death and upon that onely designed to this Preferment as the reward of his Service Being well studyed in the Fathers it was no hard matter for him to observe That as the Church of Rome had erred in the Point of the Sacrament so as well the Lutheran as the Zuinglian Churches had run themselves into some errour by opposing the Papists the one being forced upon the Figment of Consubstantiation the other to fly to Signs and Figures as if there had been nothing else in the blessed Eucharist Which being observed he thought it most agreeable to the Rules of Piety to frame his Judgement to the Dictates of the Antient Fathers and so to hold a Real Presence of Christ's Body and Blood in the Holy Sacrament as to exclude that Corporal Eating of the same which made the Christian Faith a scorn both to the Turks and Moors Which Doctrine as he stoutly stood to in all his Examinations at Oxford when he was preparing for the Stake so he maintained it constantly in his Sermons also in which it was affirmed That In the Sacrament were truly and verily the Body and Blood of Christ made forth effectually by Grace and Spirit And being so perswaded in his own Opinion he so prevailed by Discourse and Argument with Arch-Bishop Cranmer as to bring him also to the same for which consult the Acts and M●n fol. a man of a most even and constant spirit as he declared in all his Actions but in none more then in the opposition which he made against Bishop Hooper in Maintainance of the Rites and Ceremonies then by Law Established of which we shall have opportunity to speak more hereafter In the next place we are to look upon the Preferment of Doctor Barlow to the Bishoprick of Bath and Wells succeeding in the place of Knight who dyed on the twenty ninth of the same September He had been once Prior of the Monastery of Bisham in the County of Berks from whence preferred to the See of Asaph in the end of February An. 1535. And in the April following Translated to the Church of St. David's During his sitting in which See he fell upon an honest and convenient Project for removing the Episcopal See from the decayed City of St. David's most incommodiously Scituate in the remotest Angle of all the Diocess to the rich Borough of Caer-marthen in the midst thereof in the Chief Church whereof being a Monastery of Grey-Friars the body of Edmond Earl of Richmond the Father of K. Henry the Seventh received Interment Which Project he presented to Cromwel being then Vicar General endearing it by these Motives and Propositions that is to say That being scituate in the midst of the Diocess it was very opportune for the profiting of the King's Subjects for the Preferment of God's Word for abolishing all Antichristian Superstition and settling in the Diocess the King's Supremacy That it was furnished with all things necessary for the conveniency of the Canons and might be done without any prejudice to the Friars for every one of which he offered to provide a sufficient Maintainance And to advance the work the more he offered to remove his Consistory thither to found therein a Grammar-Schole and settle a daily Lecture in Divinity there for the reducing of the Welsh from their ancient Rudeness to the Civility of the Time All which I finde in the Memorials of Sir Robert Cotton And unto these he might have added That he had a fair Episcopal House at Abberguilly very near that Town in which the Bishops of that Diocess have for the most part made their Dwelling So that all Parties seemed to have been provided for in the Proposition and therefore the more to be admired That in a Time so much addicted unto Alterations it should speed no better

of Eviland The sixth of August since that Time is observed amongst them for an Annual Feast in perpetual Gratitude to Almighty God for their Deliverance from the Rebels with far more Reason then many such Annual Feasts have been lately Instituted in some Towns and Cities for not being gained unto their King But though the Sword of War was Sheathed there remained work enough for the Sword of Justice in Executing many of the Rebels for a Terrour to others Arundel and the rest of the Chiefs were sent to London there to receive the recompense of their Deserts most of the Raskal Rabble Executed by Martial Law and the Vicar of St. Thomas one of the Principal Incendiaries hanged on the Top of his own Tower apparailed in his Popish Weeds with his B●ads at his Girdle The Norfolk Rebels brake not out till the twentieth of June beginning first at a place called Ail-borough but not considerable either for Strength or Number till the sixth of July when mightily encreased by Ket a Tanner of Windham who took unto himself the conducting of them These men pretended onely against Enclosures and if Religion was at all regarded by them it was rather kept for a Reserve then suffered to appear in the Front of the Battail But when their Numbers were so vastly multiplyed as to amount to twenty thousand nothing would serve them but the suppression of the Gentry the placing of New Councellours about the King and somewhat also to be done in favour of the Old Religion Concerning which they thus Remonstrate to the King or the People rather viz First That the Free-born Commonalty was oppressed by a small Number of Gentry who glutted themselves with Pleasure whilest the poor Commons wasted with dayly Labour did like Pack-Horses live in extreme Slavery Secondly That Holy Rites Established by Antiquity were abolished New ones Authorised and a New Form of Religion obtruded to the subjecting of their Souls to those Horrid Pains which no Death could terminate And therefore Thirdly That it was necessary for them to go in person to the King to place New Councellours about him during his Minority removing those who ruling as they list confounded things Sacred and Profane and regarded nothing but the enriching of themselves with the Publick Treasure that they might Riot it amidst these Publick Calamities Finding no satisfactory Answer to these proud Demands they March directly towards Norwich and possess themselves of Moushold-Hill which gave them not onely a large Prospect over but a full Command upon that City which they entered and re-entered as they pleased For what could a Weak City do in Opposition to so Great a Multitude being neither strong by Art nor Nature and therefore not in a capacity to make any Resistance Under a large Oak on the top of this Hill since called The Oak of Reformation Ket keeps his Courts of Chancery King's Bench c. forcing the neighbouring Gentry to submit to his lawless Ordinances and committing many huge Enormities under pretense of rectifying some Abuses The King sends out his Gracious Pardon which the proud Rebels entertain with Contempt and Scorn Whereupon it was resolved that the Marquess of North-hampton should be sent against them accompanied with the Lords Sheffield and Wentworth and divers Gentlemen of Note assisted by a Band of Italians under the Command of Mala-testa an Experienced Souldier The Marquess was an excellent Courtier but one more skilled in Leading a Measure then a March so that being beaten out of Norwich into which he had peaceably been admitted with loss of some Persons of Principal Quality and the firing of a great part of the City he returns ingloriously to London Yet all this while the Lord Protectour was so far from putting himself upon the Action that he suffered his most dangerous Enemy the Earl of Warwick to go against them with such Forces as had been purposely provided for the War of Scotland Who finding the City open for him entertained the Rebels with divers Skirmishes in most of which he had the better which put them to a Resolution of forsaking the Hill and trying their Fortune in a Battail in a place called Dussing-dale where they maintained a bloody Fight But at the last were broken by the Earl's good Conduct and the valiant Loyalty of his Forces Two thousand of the Rebels are reported to have been slain in the Fight and Chase the residue of them scattered over all the Country the Principals of them taken and deservedly Executed Robert Ket hanged on Norwich-Castle William his Brother on the top of Windham-Steeple nine of his chief Followers on as many Boughs of the Oak where Ket held his Courts Which great Deliverance was celebrated in that City by a Publick Thanks giving on the twenty seventh of August and hath been since perpetuated Annually on that day to these present Times The like Rising happened about this time in York-shire began by Dale and Ombler two seditious persons and with them it ended for being taken in a Skirmish before their number had amounted to three thousand men they were brought to York where they were executed with some others on the twenty first of September then next following The breaking out of these Rebellions but most especially that of Devonshire quickned the Lords of the Council to a sharper course against all those whom they suspected not to favour the King's Proceedings nor to advance the Execution of the Publick Liturgie amongst whom none was more distrusted then Bonner of London concerning whom it was informed that by his negligence not onely many People within his Diocess were very forgetfull of their Duty to God in frequenting the Divine Service then by Law established but divers others utterly despising the same did in secret places often frequent the Popish Mass. For this he is Commanded to attend the Lords of the Council on the eleventh of August by whom he was informed of such Complaints as were made against him and so dismissed with certain private Injunctions to be observed by him for the time to come And for a further Trial to be made of his Zeal and Loyalty if it were not rather for a Snare to entrap him in he was Commanded to Preach against the Rebels at Saint Paul's Cross on the first of September and there to shew the unlawfullness of taking Arms on Pretence of Religion But on the contrary he not onely touched● not upon any thing which was enjoyned him by the Council but spent the most part of his Sermon in maintenance of the Gross Carnal and Papistical presence of Christs Body and Blood in the most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar Complaints whereof being made by William Latimer Parson of St. Laurence Poult●ey and John Hooper sometimes a Cister'ian Monk a Commission is issued out to the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury the Bishops of Rochester and Peterborough Sir Thomas Smith and Doctour May before whom he was convented at Lambeth on the tenth of the Moneth where after many
