were in the furnace Why those were there for not obeying the Kings commandement to bow to his new golden god but was this Bishop now on the Scaffold for any such disobedience Nay was it not for his too much officiousnesse and obedience So that might he not have said as Cardinall Wolsey Had I said he been as carefull to serve God as I have been to serve the King I had never come to this death And for Gods power to deliver it is not questioned But his glory was seen in delivering those three innocent children from the hot fiery furnace not so that he should have delivered such a traitor from the blocke when as his Glory called for execution of justice upon such a Malefactor yea such a notorious hypocrite such a desperate obdurate impenitent remorselesse shamelesse monster of men Here he prosecutes his comparison between himself and the three children They would not Worship the Kings golden Image Nor will I saith he the Imaginations which the People are setting up Nor will I forsake the Temple and the Truth of God to follow the bleating of Jeroboams Calves in Dan and in Bethell By People here in Capitall Letters he must needs mean the Parliament the People of the Land representative and so by Jeroboams Calves whereby he means a revolting from Iuda and from true Religion and that the Religion now to be set up is in comparison of that under the Prelacy no better then Ieroboams Calves worshipped in Bethell and Dan and the Prelaticall Government as the Temple of Jerusalem and the Truth of God Thus he holds to his old Principles which he suckt in with his Mothers milke and was Nursed up in Oxford and which grew up with him in Court to a full stature But stay shall he run away with it thus in a darke mist leaving the People to grope at noon day as in the Aegiptian darknesse * I most humbly thank my Saviour for it saith he my resolution is now c. What Not to forsake the Temple and Truth of God O Hypocrisie O Blasphemy Will he interest and ingage Christ in all his Idolatrous Crucifixes Crosses Altars Superstitious Worship Ceremonies and Reliques of Rome set up every where in his Idoll Temples and Chappells calling all this his Temple and Truth of God Will he call his Images the Truth of God which the Truth of God the Scripture calls a * Lye and a teacher of Lyes O abomination And doth this devout Votary to Images humbly thank Christ that his resolution lay not to lye down till he lay down his head upon the Block not to part with his Antichristian Hierarchy the Grand enemy of Christs Kingdom and grievous Tyranny over the Soules and Bodies of Christs Saints whose Redemption cost him his dearest Blood O the Rocky cruelty of this wretched man Who as he shewed no mercy to others whom he most wickedly oppressed in his life so now at his death he can shew no mercy to himself by considering the justice of that Saviour whereof his whole life had been a most high provocation now sealed up at his death with a desperate resolution to be the same man still should his life be prolonged an hundred yeares So as no marvell it is if wicked men be punisht eternally in hell when if they should live eternally in this world they would hold firm their Resolution never to cease to be the same men in sinning But he bestows his Episcopall blessing upon the People for the opening of their eyes to see the right way Himself being so blind as not to see any other right way out of his own way then which none is more contrary and opposite to Christ and his way But he acknowledgeth himself in all humility a most grieveous sinner many wayes by thought word and deed and therefore I doubt not saith he but that God hath mercy in store for me a poor penitent as well as for other sinners But wherein What sign What thought What word What deed Did he confesse those thoughts whereby he resolved and indeavoured to reconcile Rome and England together which he expressed in his Relation of a conference with the Iesuit Did he confess the sinfull words of that Reconciling Book That there he cunningly incites the King against godly Ministers That there hee blames and bewayles with a bleeding heart the separation between Protestants and Papists both for the causing and continuing of it That he hath there in many passages abused and vilified the Scriptures all along his Booke That he hath fathered his grosse lyes upon God the Father upon Christ upon the Holy Ghost and infinite other bold and wicked expressions there And for his Deeds did he ever confesse elswhere or on the Scaffold all his Prelaticall pranckes and practises in oppressing suppressing supplanting the Truth of God both in Pulpit and Presse silencing suspending fining confining outing godly painfull Preachers with wives childern and other christians Did hee ever confesse his being the chief cause of cropping of Eares Pillorying Imprisoning Whipping Branding Banishing those against whom no crime could be layde by any Law Or did he to shew the truth of conversion come forth to offer restitution to all that he had wronged oppressed and spoiled of their goods and livelyhoods No such thing here is nothing but a generall confession of I wot not what grievous sins But being put to it he would not confesse one particular sin as we noted before when some came to him for restitution of their wrongs And yet doth hee hope for pardon Aug. saith The sin is not pardoned where the wrong is not satisfied for Nay when many such things were witnessed against him before the Honourable House of Lords as of his violent dealing with many Preachers and others hee justified himself saying that he did but discharge the office of a good Diocesan and the like And what doth this desperate Hypocrite tell us of ransacking every corner of his heart What have we to doe with his selfe-deceiving heart known only to God We looke upon his Actions we judge of the tree by the fruits He finds not in his false heart any true cause of death But we find it in his hands we finde the blood of the soules yea and the bodies too of the poore Innocents upon his skirts and this is found not by secret search but upon all these His notorious practises proclaim it so as he that runs may read And doth not the Law of this Kingdom punish Theeves and Robbers and Murtherers and Traytors But however he chargeth nothing upon his Iudges That 's well for never had Traytor fairer play and they proceeded secundum allegata et probata And this is the Law of the Land Let that suffice But whom else he layes his charge upon it matters not his charge is no burthen nor his tongue a slander And though in a legall course an Innocent may be condemned yet more
