is by the State suppressed and kept under That it is the will of God to have such a Reformation That impeachment of it is offered by the Queen Counsel and Nobles That this is a great sin meet to be repented of by them That they must be brought to this repentance That the penalty against any of them that refuse to be brought is to be detected as Traytors an offence deserving death That this must be done out of hand That the will of God in great favour for the good of his Church was revealed to him in this behalf being a man of much fasting prayer rare gifts a Coppinger calls it the Cause and Truth of God which must go or and to oppose it is a Sin deserving death That this was revealed to him as a Prophet and not to be discredited Prophet an extraordinary man with an extraordinary Calling such as was not to be judged of or discerned by meer ordinary men and whereinto he entred not rashly or on a sudden but after many conflicts with himself before his yielding to God's extraordinary motion and calling But submitting himself nevertheless to have his Gifts and Calling tried and allowed of by the best reformed Preachers and therefore not worthy to be suspected or discredited That the way to bring them to this repentance was a secret Mystery such as those Preachers and others whom he conferred with albeit The Preachers thought the ways of effecting of it dangerous and refused to be made acquainted with them but consent he should run the hazard they held it a work to be wished at God's hands yet by his talk gathered the manner of bringing it in to be so dangerous as that they feared the success and refused to be made acquainted with the particular ways and means which he had plotted to effect it Thereby making choise rather that Coppinger should venture to put it in practise if he remained resolute herein which they found by him of what dangerous consequence soever such a way might be than that they by bewraying of him to Authority should be any means to break off and prevent his Resolution or quench his Zeal And thus with opinion of safety to themselves they merchandized the hazard of their Friend's life or else the rearing of Sedition in the Realm with the hope that secretly they nourished to have the Discipline which they dream of erected Thus Coppinger remaining still more confirmed Coppinger brought acquainted with Hacket and Arthington and setled in this vein by his Pew-fellow Wigginton about Easter-Term last being as is aforesaid brought acquainted with Hacket as with a most holy man soon after would needs bring Arthington also acquainted with him as one whom upon so small knowledge he had observed to be a very rare man For this purpose he sent for Arthington to Dinner or Supper unto Lawson's House near to Paul's Gate where Arthington met first with Hacket together with another whom he calleth a godly man Of whose ordinary talk then had Arthington liked very well but had as he saith at that time no further conference with him After which time Arthington discontinued from the City Arthington retires into Yorkshire and remained in Yorkshire until Trinity Term leaving Hacket and Coppinger behind him plotting of their purposes together What Purposes they had what Counsel they entred into and what Conferences they entertained betwixt themselves and with others by the Events ensuing will best be discovered After this Hacket stayed Hacket goes also into the Country not long in London but desired Coppinger at his departure to write unto him what succels J. T. had and withal assuring him that whensoever he should write for him he the said Hacket would streightway come up again Hereupon Coppinger writ unto him first Coppinger sends for him to London and provides him Chamber and Board at the end of Easter Term and after again very earnestly to be at London three days before the beginning of Trinity Term last but he could not be here so soon by three or four days When he was come he lodged the first night at Istington but sent his Horse down again into the Country as purposing to stay long in London Then after a night or two one of which nights he lodged at the said Lawson's House by Wiggington's direction he was provided of a Chamber and of his Board at one Ralph Kaye's House in Knight-rider-street by Coppinger's means and at his Charges for he cost Coppinger there Eleven Shillings by the Week But Kayes waxing weary of him in part for that he seared Hacket was a Conjurer or Witch in that the Camomil he saith in his Garden where Hacket either trod or sate did wither up the next night and waxed black therefore Coppinger provided at his own charges likewise another Room for him at one Walker's House by Broken Wharf where he remained until his apprehension Whilst Hacket was at Kaye's House he Hacket leaves the Queen out of his Prayers used before and after Meals to pray as seemed most devoutly and zealously but never for the Queen's Majesty Hacket also told Kayes That if all the Divines in England should pray for Rain if he said the word yet it should not rain The first of the aforesaid Letters which Coppinger writ unto Hacket to move him to come up doth contain matter of note besides not unfit to be known Brother Hacket Coppinger ' s Letter to Hacket saith he the burthen which God hath laid upon me you being the Instrument to make me bold and couragious where I was fearful and faint is greater than I can bear without your help here though I have it where you are The workings of his holy spirit in me since your departure be mighty and great My zeal of spirit burneth like fire so that I cannot contain my self and conceal his mercies towards me And a little after in the same Letter Master Thr. is put off till the next Term the zealous Preachers as it is thought are to be in the Star-Chamber to morrow the Lord by his holy Spirit be with them My self if I can get in am moved to be there And I fear if Sentence with severity be given I shall Note be forced in the name of the great and fearful God of Heaven to protest against it My desire is that you hast up so soon as you can your Charges shall be born by me And somewhat after thus If his most holy Spirit direct you to come come If not stay But write with speed and convey your Letter and inclose it in a Letter to him who brought you and me acquainted viz. Wigginton put not your name to it for discovery Direct your Letter thus To my loving Brother in the Lord give these my Letters I put to no name but the matter you know which sufficeth Pray that the Lord may reign and that his Subjects may obey That all Instruments whatsoever that shall be

a great Contemner of others that were not of his mind And although the Learning and Qualities of any were never so mean yet if he affected Master Cartwright and his Opinions he should be in great estimation with him according to the saying of the Poet Praecipui sunto sitque illis aurea barba But if he were against him in his fanciful Conceits though he were never so good a Scholar or so good a Man he could not brook or like of him as of Dr. Whitaker and others And although in their Elections of Scholars into that College they made as good choise as any other either before or in their time yet could he never afford the Electors nor Parties elected a good word unless they sided with him in his Fancies 20. And that he might the better Cartwright went to Geneva affected the Discipline of that Church feed his Humour with these conceited Novelties he travailed to Geneva where observing the Government and Discipline of that Church to be by certain Ecclesiastical Superintendents and Lay-Elders or Presbyters as they called them he was so far carried away with an affection of that new devised Discipline as that he thought all Churches and Congregations for Government Ecclesiastical were to be measured and squared by the practice of Geneva 21. Therefore when he returned His opposition to the Established Church-Government in England home he took many exceptions against the Established Government of our Church disallowing the Vocation of our Archbishops Bishops Archdeacons and other Ecclesiastical Officers the Administration of our Holy Sacraments and observation of our Rites and Ceremonies and buzzing these Conceits into the Heads of divers young Preachers and Scholars of the University he drew after him a great number of Disciples and Followers And upon a Sunday Doctor Whitgift being from home Master Cartwright with some of his Adherents made three Sermons in that one day wherein they so vehemently inveighed amongst other Ceremonies of our Church against the Surpless as those of Trinity College Preacheth against the Surpless were so moved therewith that at Evening Prayer they cast off their Surplesses though against the Statutes of the House and were all placed in the Chappel without Surplesses three only excepted Doctor Legge Mr. West and the Chaplain By reason of which Stirs both that private College was greatly distracted and the whole University much perplexed and troubled 22. For these his Opinions were now broached not only at home in their College Sermons and Domestical Common-Places but by Master Cartwright himself and his Adherents in the publick Church of the whole University wherein they mightily declamed against the Ordination of our Priests and Deacons and greatly traduced the Heads and Governors of the Colleges because they attended the Service of those Places The Reverend Bishops and Fathers of the Church for their due observing Ecclesiastical Rules and Constitutions were by them much perstringed the Established Church paralling as they termed it the Romish Hierarchy was also much reproached and disgraced 23. Dr. Whitgift after that Master Whitgift preacheth against Cartwright ' s Opinions Cartwright and his Complices had broached this his dangerous Doctrine would always the Sunday following in the same Church answer and confute their Opinions with such commendation and applause as thereby he much quieted and setled the judgment of many that otherwise were enclining to this Innovation and gained a singular opinion of the most Learned and Judicious throughout the whole University 24. When by this course he had Cartwright and his Followers oppose Whitgist somewhat appeased these Stirs Master Cartwright did not yet cease but by secret Instigations set on others of his own humour to continue them who in their College Exercises which they call Common-places and also in their open Sermons would prick at him with the Swords of their Tongues and otherwhiles uncharitably through the Sides of others pierce and wound him sometimes furiously without regard of duty shame or modesty would strike downright at him For it then was and I pray God it still be not a thing too frequent with that Generation to tax their Superiors and to accuse their Government as also to asperse them and it with many unjust Calumniations 25. Notwithstanding so far was he from entring into any rigorous course of proceeding against them as justly he might have done by the Statutes of the College and publick Laws of the State as that with great sufferance he winked at and passed by many of Whitgift ' s gentleness these Wrongs and Enormities and instead of revenge he by gentleness and goodness heaped coals upon the Adversaries heads as also for rough and unseemly Speeches he breathed nothing but sweet breath of love and peace often exhorting them to call to God for Grace that they might have more sober consideration and better judgment of Orders established which then they mistook to be amiss For as a Learned man truly saith of them those fervent Hooker ' s Eccles Policy lib. 5. reprehenders of things established by publick Authority are always confident and bold spirited men but their confidence for the most part riseth from too much credit given to their own Wits for which cause they are seldom free from Errors 26. The state of the University being The State of the University disturb'd by Cartwright in this sort mervailously disquieted by Master Cartwright and his Abettors Doctor Whitgift wisely foresaw that these sparks of Sedition if in time they were not quenched would grow to a great flame to the endangering not only of the University but of the whole Church as every one knoweth it afterward fell out and therefore to cure this Evil if it might be in the beginning he oftentimes sent to Master Cartwright Whitgift adviseth him to be quiet and in friendly and kind manner advised him to surcease from those Courses But finding him always wilfully bent and finally obstinate to prevent further mischief he with the Seniors of the House called him in question Calls him in question and having sufficient matter of Expulsion against him for uttering some Errors in his Lectures and not recanting nor expounding them being by the Master and Seniors so appointed and for exercising the Function of a Minister having no Letters of Orders which he had either torn or suppressed for that he thought it not lawful by his own Doctrine to use them and for transgressing the Statutes of the House in divers other Points he expelled him the House Expells him the House and deprives him of the Lady Margaret's Lecture and being Vice-Chancellor caused him likewise to be deprived of the Lady Margaret's Lecture which then he read 27. Before which course of proceeding with him Doctor Whitgift understanding that Master Cartwright had given it out that his dangerous Assertions were rather repressed by Authority than refelled by Truth and strength of Reason wished him to forbear such disturbance of the publick

mutined The King proimseth them Deliverance before Easter It not coming he fains himself sick and puts a Cheat upon them by reason of the extremity of Famine their King promised them assured deliverance from God before Easter When Easter was come no sign or token of their deliverance appeared Then the King feigned himself to be sick for six days afterward assembling the people into the Market steed he told them that all that while he had ridden upon a blind Ass and that the Father had laid upon him the sins of the whole Multitude so that now they were cleansed and freed from all Vice which was the Deliverance which he promised unto them and therewith they were to hold themselves contented When the Bishop's Strength by common Supplies from the Princes of the Empire were much reenforced matters in the Town grew to that Extremity that by means of two Persons who conveyed themselves secretly forth of the Town it was at last surprized by the The City is surprized The King Knipperdolung and Crecliting taken alive Rotman is slam Assailants though with much ado and Bloodshed even after they were entred Their King with Knipperdoling and Crecliting their two false Prophets were taken alive But Rotman their Reformed Preacher seeing no hope to escape desperately ran in amongst the thickest of the Armed Companies and by them he was cut in pieces The three Persons aforenamed were carried about the Countrey as a Spectacle to sundry the Princes and others thereabouts and after were brought back again unto Munster The Bishop of Munster demanded of the King by what Authority he took upon him to rule in that City Who asked the said Bishop again by what Authority he the said Bishop claimed any Power there When he answered that he had it by means of Election of the Chapter and by Consent of the People the King replying said That himself had his Authority from God After two days had been bestowed with them to reduce them by godly Persuasions from their Errors Leyden their King confessed his Leyden repents Knipperdoling and Crecliting arc obstinate They are all three executed Sin and desired Forgiveness at Christ's hands But Knipperdoling and Crecliting would confess no fault but defended their course and Opinions with great Obstinacy So all Three being tied unto Posts were dismembred by piece meal and pulled in small pieces with hot burning Pincers and Tongs and afterward their Carkasses were hanged up there in Iron Cages but the King in the midst and much higher than the other two as his Place required Besides certain especial Opinions which Some of their Erroneous and Heretical Doctrines these Anabaptists held namely That Young Children were not to be baptized and touching Lawfulness of Poligamy or having many Wives Of Community of Goods and that Christ took not Flesh of the Virgin Mary c. they also taught and defended many other strange erroneous and heretical Positions And yet they shewed as much Devotion outward Holiness and Purity as might be As for example they held these following viz. That a perfect Christian might not exercise the Office of a Magistrate nor might take an Oath before him That God doth now oftentimes shew his Will by extraordinary Revelations Dreams and Visions That the common people have an especial Authority in determining and establishing of Church-causes That before the day of Judgment the Kingdom of Christ shall be such as that the Godly and Elect shall overthrow and subdue all the wicked and then they alone shall rule in the earth That it is lawful for the People to depose and put down the Prince or Magistrate That Ministers and others godly affected ought to establish though it were by Force a Reformation in all Countries That Princes and Magistrates ought not to pursue this kind of persons for that they are Innocents and the beloved People of God That the Seat of David which was fallen down must be reestablished and that Christ now in the latter end of the World shall reign externally upon the Earth That the time of besiege they then lived in was that where of Isaiah prophesied wherein the just and godly were afflicted and persecùted That the time of their deliverance and enlargement was at hand which should be like to that deliverance of the Israelites from the Thraldom under the Babylonians And that then the wicked and ungodly shall receive the guerdon and recompence of all their Impieties committed against the Saints all the ungodly being rid out of the way the seat of Righteousness should be prepared and advanced That there is none efficacy or force in that Baptism wherewith Infants are baptized All which they obstinately defended and yet whensoever they were charged they pretended that they would acknowledge and confess their Errors if they should be shewed unto them by the Scriptures to be Errors Now as I have done afore in the History A comparison of the Anabaptists in Munster with the Disciplinarians in England in Opinion and Practice of Thomas Muncer I must crave leave that with the Readers patience I may also briefly compare and resemble some of the Dealings and Errors of the Anabaptists of the City of Munster with the actions and opinions of these late Conspirators and of their Disciplinarian Schoolmasters from whom they have sucked like Poyson For did not Hacket the most ignorant of all the three being but an unlettered Maltster in like sort take upon him to rule the other and to mannage the whole Action and are not the most ignorant of such as be of this humour most presumptuous to direct all others and to discuss deepest doubts Have not their mutual cohortations and seditious instructions with their conceived Prayers and hypocritical Fasts that they practised in privy conventicles and assemblies given greatest strength to his faction to the seduction of numbers Have not the Magistrates now as great cause to look into these proceedings before they make head upon confidence of their multitudes Have not all the stayed and sound Preachers of this Land by sundry Maleperts and now again by Arthington been most insolently challenged unto disputation Hath not the cause of this pretended Discipline been nevertheless quashed oftentimes in Pulpits in publick disputations in the Universities and by learned treatises written whereby the weakness and meagerness of their childish collections have been fully displayed Will they make any hast or dare they to offer disputation if such conditions assistants and indifferent and learned Judges as are fit shall be set down and appointed and being beaten from their ordinary means have not these Conspirators and such as have animated them betaken themselves unto pretended extraordinary Callings ravishings in Spirit carryings into Heaven Revelations Dreams and Visions Have they not seditiously filled out Streets with their like hypocritical Outcries of Repent Repent c. and by gathering of Routs tending to Uproar and popular Tumult If their purposes had succeeded and their Prophecies of
