the Prophet had ended these Speeches suddenly John of Leyden John of Leyden pretends he knew this before kneeled down and lifting up his hands to Heaven said thus Brethren it is a good while agone since I first knew this and yet would not hitherto publish it abroad but now the Father hath used another Minister to bring it to pass and to proclaim it So having by this subtilty compassed to be King he first deposed the Twelve Governors and after the manner He deposeth the 12 Governors He creates Lords and wears the Robes of Majesty and ascends a Throne of other Kings did chuse and create sundry to be great Lords about him He also caused two Crowns of pure Gold to be made for himself and a Royal Robe Coller and Scepter with other Complements of Majesty He assigned also certain days wherein he would give Audience to all Complainants and Suters Whensoever he came abroad he was attended with his Officers and Gentlemen of his Court and with two young Henchmen on horseback the one on his right-hand carrying the Bible and the other on his left carrying a drawn Sword He had also a magnifical Throne prepared and set on high for him with a golden Cloth of Estate At a certain time when the King was thus set in his Majesty and Knipperdoling pretends to breathe the Holy Ghost on the People the people thronged close together about him Knipperdoling one of the Prophets got upon the peoples heads and so creeping along on his hands and feet he breathed upon them in their mouths one after another saying thus The Father hath sanctified thee receive the Holy Ghost Certain Weeks after the new Prophet afore mention'd The New Prophet summons the People to Arms. caused by sound of a Trumpet to be proclaimed That all should retire themselves in Arms unto the Church-yard of the chief Church for that the Enemy must be repelled from the Town Coming thither Five thousand of them entertained at a Supper they found a great Supper ready prepared Then there sate down to Supper as they were commanded four thousand and after these had supped one thousand more that had waited sate down The King The King and Queen serve at Table also and the chief Queen together with their Courtiers did serve at table The supper being towards an end the King gave bread unto every one of them saying Take eat and shew forth the Lord's death Then the Queen presented them with the They prophanely give them the Communion cup saying Drink and shew forth the Lord's death This being done the said Prophet got him up into a pulpit and asked them if they would obey the word of the Lord which when they had yielded unto that they would he said it was the Father's commandment 28 Teachers sent forth that eight and twenty Doctors or Teachers should be sent forth into all the corners of the world to teach the doctrine that was taught and received in that City Then he named them all and the particular place whither each of them should go So after all was done they let the said eight and twenty Preachers out of the town by night very closely for fear of those without who besieged them giving to every one above that which should defray his charges one piece of gold and commanding them to leave it at such places where their doctrine should not be received for a testimony of such peoples damnation and everlasting perdition for refusing such message and wholesome doctrine When those Preachers were come to the places assigned unto them they cried in the streets of the Towns where they came Repont repent or else you shall all quickly perish Then They preach Repentance Community of Goods and the universal Reign of Rightcousness brought to pass by King John of Leyden they spread their garments on the ground before the Magistrates and upon them they laid the pieces of Gold which were afore delivered unto them assuring them and protesting that they were sent from the heavenly Father to bring them peace and mercy and if they would receive it then they must give up all their Goods to be used in common but if they refused it then that sign and token should be a witness against them of ingratitude and rebellion against God For said they now is the time come that was spoken of afore by the Prophets in which Righteousness shall reign in the Earth universally and when the King meaning John of Leyden hath brought to pass that Righteousness shall rule in every place then Christ shall give up his Kingdom to his Father But these Preachers being hereupon apprehended they resolutely stood The Preachers apprehended they defend their wicked Practices with Scripture falsly applied in it and defended that they only held the true doctrine which they would maintain upon peril of their lives Being asked with what justice they could enter upon and possess other men's Wives Children and Goods as they did they said The time was come forespoken of by Christ that the meek should possess the earth and that God gave these unto them as he did give the Goods of the Egyptians unto the Israelites They affirmed also that King David and John of Leyden were two righteous Prophets but the Pope and Luther were both false Prophets whereof Luther was the worse Thus still persisting obstinate in their erroneous Opinions notwithstanding the Tortures which they endured they were all beheaded saving One of them escaped all the Rest put to death one of them that escaped away by slight Whilest these things were thus in doing within and abroad the City of Munster was every day more and more straitly besieged and pressed with extreme famine so that for fear lest many the chief Burgers should capitulate with the Enemy and yield the King up unto the Bishop their King therefore did chuse Twelve whom he held most faithful unto him and appointed them to be Captains of War over so many several Parts of the Town into which he did quarter it entertaining the said Twelve persons with Mountains of large Promises and telling them over what great Provinces and Dominions under him he would after A Famine increaseth in the City place them Thus the Famine still more and more encreasing in the City so that sundry died thereof albeit the King had abundance for himself and his special Favourites not only for supply of necessity but also to riot and banquet it happened that one of his Queens in commiseration of the distressed said unto the rest That she could not believe it was the Will of God that men should in that sort be suffered to die for want of food Hereupon being accused she was brought into the Market-place and being commanded to kneel down the King struck off her Head all the rest of his Queens singing dancing and giving thanks therefore to the heavenly Father But whenas the common sort had like to have

s Supplication to the Parliament threatning them with Plagues meaning the Bishops which ought to be Pillars in the Church do band themselves against Christ and his Truth therefore O Lord give us grace and power all as one man to set our selves against them Which words by way of Emphasis he would often repeat And how I pray you doth Penry in his Supplication to the Parliament incite both the Lords and Commons threatning them with Plagues and Bloodshed if they gathered not Courage rage and Zeal And withal scoffing at their unwillingness hitherto for disturbing of the State forsooth to set upon the Hierarchy of the Bishops telling them if they refused so to do they should declare unto their Children That God had raised up but a company of White-livered Soldiers to teach them the Gospel in the sincerity under Queen Elizabeth And doth not Udall threaten that the Presbytery Udall ' s Threats against the Resisters of the Presbytery shall prevail and come in by that way and means as shall make all their hearts to ake that shall withstand or hinder the same 71. And when I pray you were These Stirs set on foot at the time of the Spanish Invasion 1588. these Classical Assemblies and these Seditious Stirs and Hurli-burlies of Martimists and that Reforming Sect put in practice In the Year 1588. at that time when the Invincible Spanish Navy as some vainly termed it was upon our Coasts and should have invaded us albeit it was by the gracious Providence of our Omnipotent God prevented and their Ships so dispersed as that no Enemy was able to put foot on English Shore but as a Prisoner or Captive At which time as the Care of her Majesty for the preparation of Forces to encounter and resist them was very great so might her Grief also be to behold a discord and dissention of her own Subjects within her Realm The Archbishop also himself had not the The Archbishop's preparation for Defence of his Prince and Country The whole Clergy of his Provinçe Armed meanest part to perform in so great and weighty an Action when the whole Forces of the Clergy not only within his particular Diocess but through his whole Province were committed unto his care and charge to have in readiness besides his own Family and Tenants which were by him gathered together and all prepared mustered and trained for defence of Prince and Country 72. Now of the aforesaid Stirs and Seditious Attempts of sundry Persons in this our Archbishop's time that Master Cartwright was the Fountain and Cartwright the Head of the Puritan Party principal Author it may appear by sundry Passages and also by the Opinion and Dependencies which all the Fore named had upon him especially in their Proceedings as their Conferences and Conventicles do sufficiently declare which are extant in the Records of the Star-chamber whence I have taken my chiefest Instructions in this behalf The recourse of Hacket Coppinger and Arthington unto him and Hacket Coppinger and Arthington resort to him his Fraternity and the vain Conceits of extraordinary Callings which they were put into both by Speech and Letters and the Opinion which they all three conceived of Master Cartwright by name both before and after their Apprehension Penry and Udall his Consorts may appear sufficiently both by the Records and * Conspiracy for pretended Reformation Books published whereof mention is already made That Penry Vdall and the rest of the Libellers Dangerous Positions were of his Consort by his sight of divers of the Books and knowledge both of the Authors and Publishers and his not revealing them to the State he could not deny being examined thereupon And that he approved their hateful Libels it appeared by his own words when being asked his Opinion of such Books he said Seeing the Bishops Cartwright's words in the Articles in the Star-Chamber and others there touched would not amend by grave Books and Advertisements it was therefore meet they should be dealt withal to their further reproach Which was not unsuitable to one of his own Decrees in a Synod where it was determined That no Books should be put in The Disciplinarians Decree about Books to be printed print but by consent of the Classes that some of those Books must be earnest some more mild and temperate whereby they may be both of the Spirit of Elias and Elizeus 73. That Barrow and Greenwood were Barrow and Greenwood infected by Cartwright so infected with his Grounds and Opinions which brought them unto their fatal Ends shall manifestly appear unto you upon Barrow's own Confession For when Doctor Ravis then Chaplain to the Archbishop and late Lord Bishop of London at the earnest desire of Barrow himself and direction of the Archbishop dealt with Master Cartwright to confer with Barrow they being then both Prisoners in the Fleet Master Cartwright having been once before with him at the entreaty of Master Sperin a Minister would by no means be drawn to further Conference with him again Which his refusal when it was by Doctor Ravis signified to Barrow in Bishop Ravis's Conference with Barrow and Greenwood 1592. the presence of divers of good Reputation and Account he fetched a great sigh saying And will he not Hath he only brought me into this brake and will he now leave me For from him received I my grounds and out of his Premises did I infer and make the conclusion of the Positions which I now hold and for which I suffer bands 74. Again when Sentence of death Bishop Androws and Bishop Parrey with others their Conference with Barrow and Greenwood was given against the said Barrow Doctor Androws now Lord Bishop of Ely Doctor Bisse and Doctor White were sent unto him to counsel him for his Soul's health There also accompanied them Doctor Parry now Lord Bishop of Worcester After many passages of Speech with Doctor White unto whom he then seemed especially to address himself he brake forth into these words You are not the men whom I most dislike in these Differences For although you be out of the way yet you think you are in the right But I cannot but complain of Master Cartwright and others of his knowledge from whom we have received the truth of these things and have been taught that your Callings are Antichristian who yet utterly against their Consciences forsake us in our Sufferings and will not come out of Babylon for fear of their lives It being farther replied by Doctor White that those Callings which Barrow reproached as Antichristian were the very same which Archbishop Cranmer and Ridley and many other holy Bishops c. that suffered Martyrdom in Queen Mary's time did embrace Barrow replied in this vain-glorious manner True it is that Cranmer and others Barrow's Vain-glorious Answer were Martyrs in Queen Mary's days but these holy Bands of mine and therewithal shook the Fetters which he did wear are

much more glorious than any of theirs because they had the mark of Antichrist in their hands Thus he in Newgate at that time in the presence of many with great insolency did triumph 75. Men therefore not partially affected The danger of Innovation may hereby observe and conceive what danger Innovation bringeth to the People and what hazard to a State when by little and little it encreaseth like the swelling or flowing of the Sea which if it surpass the bounds wherewith it was confined or gain never so small a Breach it spreadeth it self over a whole Country and groweth to that violence and stream that it cannot by any contrary force be kept back but without pity or mercy putteth all things to wreck where it rageth Which as it seemeth Master Cartwright himself did now find when after his first Conference he perceived how impossible it was for him to make up the Breach which he had unfortunately begun for that Barrow like a tempestuous Surge would have forced him by finding his own oversight and Errors back again from his former Positions or drawn him inevitably to his Conclusions 76. And therefore observable it is Cartwright withdraws privately that Master Cartwright having upon his first discontentment as hath been delivered made a desperate assault and breach in Sion's peaceable and blessed City now like a sly Captain did steal away secretly after Summons given from his own Siege fearing upon his entry by the force and press of his own Soldiers to be environed and kept within the Walls as Pyrrhus was to the loss of his life or doubting belike the outrage and violence of his Army whose Fury he could not have appeased when he list but have been enforced as Titus was to see his Soldiers sack spoil and burn the Holy City of Jerusalem though he vehemently laboured and with great earnestness cried out unto them whom yet himself first set on work to save the Sanctuary of the Lord but could not be heard or at least was not able to stop their rage and fury until it was with fire consumed and destroyed 77. Not much differing from the said Positions of Barrow and Greenwood Brown the Author of a New Sect of that Name were the Opinions of Robert Brown sometimes of Bennet Colledge in Cambridge from whom that Sect beareth the Name even to this day But because His Positions little differing from Barrow and Greenwood in this Archbishop's time the said Brown was changed from those Fancies and afterwards obtained a Benefice called Achurch in Northamptonshire where he became a painful Preacher I will not much insist upon him 78. I let pass many like Schisms in The Archbishop suppresseth many Schisms and also Controversies in the Universities other parts of the Realm which this good Archbishop suppressed and the Controversies in both Universities which by his Wisdom were appeased as also the reverend Opinion which divers honourable Personages had of him for his great temper and moderation in handling these Businesses toward some of great Place whose Reputations if he would he might have blemished with her Majesty for favouring the aforesaid Libellers and Libels which He procures Cartwright's Pardon of the Queen had stowage and vent in their Chambers as also in procuring at her Majesty'y hands both pardon and dismission for Master Cartwright and the rest out of their Troubles 79. For which and sundry other his Favours Master Cartwright held himself much obliged unto him as he confessed in his Letters written with his own hand to that effect In which Letters he is also pleased to vouchsafe him the stile of a Right Reverend Father in God Cartwright's Letters March 24. 1601. acknowledging the Archbishop's favour and his Lord the Archbishop's Grace of Canterbury Which Title of Grace he also often yieldeth him throughout his Letters acknowledging his bond of most humble duty so much the straighter because his Grace's favour proceeded from a frank disposition without any desert of his own Yea the Archbishop hath been heard to say That if Master Cartwright had not so far ingaged himself as he did in the beginning he thought verily he would in his latter time have been drawn to Conformity For when he was freed from his Troubles he often repaired to the Archbishop who used him kindly and was contented to tolerate his Preaching in The Archbishop tolerates Cartwright to perach publickly without Conformity Warwick divers years upon his Promise that he would not impugn the Laws Orders and Government in this Church of England but persuade and procure so much as he could both publickly and privately the estimation and peace of the same Which albeit he accordingly performed yet when her Majesty understood by others that Master Cartwright did preach again tho temperately accordingly to his Promise made to the Archbishop she would by no means indure his Preaching any longer without Subscription and The Queen requires his Subscription grew not a little offended with the Archbishop for such connivency at him Not long after Master Cartwright died rich as it was said by the benevolence Cartwright dies Rich. and bounty of his Followers 80. After these Stirs thus suppressed they began to tamper with the Earl of Essex who was grown into a great height of favour with the Queen and by reason that sundry of his Kindred The Earl of Essex favours the Puritans as far as he durst and Allies were inclined that way they so far prevailed with him that he did privily and far as he durst for fear of the Queen's displeasure give way and countenance to them But upon better consideration finding by the heady Courses of some of them the danger that thereby was like to grow to her Majesty and the State and the Resolution had of all hands to cut them off by the Law aforesaid he grew very calm and was careful how to carry himself uprightly betwixt both And yet the Archbishop had still a vigilant Eye over him that he could not though he would do any great hurt 81. For to say the truth by this Upon timely execution of the Laws the state of the Church at quiet due execution of Laws in the beginning and the provident Courses of the Archbishop with the Assistance and painful Endeavours of Doctor Bancroft and Doctor Cosin and the publishing of their learned and unanswerable Books the state of the Clergy was in good quiet especially so long as Sir Christopher Hatton the Lord Chancellor did live 82. Immediately after whose death Sir Christopher Hatton died Nov. 20. 1591. Lord Buckhurst chosen Chancellor of Oxford on the Queen's Letters the Archbishop attending upon her Majesty and advising with her who was fittest to succeed him in the Chancellorship of Oxford found her graciously enclined toward the Lord Buckhurst in whose behalf she presently dispatched her Letters to the University and prevailed Whereat the Earl of Essex was Earl of Essex offended at

it is pacified by the Archbishop so offended his Friends having laboured exceedingly therein on his behalf that being then Lord General of her Majesty's Forces in France he made open profession of his dislike of the Archbishop But upon his return into England finding how firm her Majesty stood for him and that his stirring in the matter must needs call in question her Majesty's Judgment did therefore in a temperate manner expostulate the matter with the Archbishop from whom he received such an Answer as he knew not well whom to be angry withal unless with the Queen her self who thought him too young a man being yet no Counsellor for so grave a Title and fearing happily lest if she should have committed the guiding of that University unto his young Years and unexperienced Judgment some hot and unruly Spirits there like Phaeton's untamed Horses might have carried him in such an headlong course of government as that the sparks of Contention which were then scarce kindled in that University might have broken forth into open flames to the utter destruction and devastation of the whole State Ecclesiastical And besides this she held the Lord Buckhurst being an ancient Counsellor and her Kinsman more fit for the Place a great deal And so much it seemed the Queen had told The Queen justifies the Archbishop to Essex the Earl in justification of the Archbishop before his questioning of the matter with him for in effect he acknowledged so much and thereupon they parted in no unkind terms but with due respect of each other in very friendly manner The Queen not long after She makes them firm Friends was the mean of their entring into further Friendship having oftentimes recommended unto the Archbishop the Earl's many excellent Parts and Vertues which she thought then rare in so young Years And the Earl likewise confessed to the Archbishop that her Majesty's often speech of her extraordinary opinion of him and his worth was the cause of his seeking after the Archbishop and therefore did offer to run a course for Clergy Causes according to his directions and advice and to cast off the Novelists as indeed he did immediately after Sir Francis Walsingham's Sir Francis Walsingham died Apr. 6. 1590. The Archbishop's firmness to Essex in his Troubles death which was a special cause of the Archbishop's constancy and firmness to the Earl in his disgrace and trouble afterwards 83. But now to return to our former course The Lord Chancellor's death much troubled and perpexed the Archbishop The Archbishop fears on the Lord Chancellor's death fearing that new Troubles would befal him and the Church Howbeit things were then so well and firmly setled that he had no great ado afterwards saving with their dispersing New Pamphlets dispersed by the Puritans of Pamphlets and that some few Persons though thanks be to God not powerful both in Court and Country Attempts in Parliament on their behalf did attempt as much as in them lay by motions in Parliament and Bills there preferred to bring in I know not nor they themselves what kind of new Government in the Church but were prevented by the Wisdom of her Majesty who always suppressed those Bills and Motions and still comforted the Archbishop who was oftentimes The Queen comforts the Archbishop with fresh Assurances of her Countenance and Favour to the Church much grieved with their causeless Complaints and assured him they should not prevail to do any hurt except it were to hurt themselves For she did see in her Princely wisdom how dangerous they were to her and all Imperial Government And when she found them still bent to pursue such Bills and Motions she to deliver the Archbishop from farther trouble and vexation before it was expected and as it were with silence brake up the Parliament 84. AFter the death of Sir Christopher Sir John Puckering Lord Keeper June 4. 1592. Hatton Sir John Puckering was made Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England of whom because he lived not long I shall not have occasion to say much But for ought that I ever Upon Hatton ' s death the Queen offered the Archbishop his Place But he declined it because of his Age and Ecclesiastical Business Sir Thomas Egerton made Lord Keeper of the Great Seal May 6. 1596. heard he shewed himself a Friend to the Church unto the Archbishop and his Proceedings and acknowledged him to have been amongst his other good Friends a Furtherer of his Advancement 85. Sir Thomas Egerton Master of the Rolls succeeded him May 6. 1596. Her Majesty and the State had long experience of his Integrity and Wisdom as may appear by the great Places which he worthily held being first her Highness's Sollicitor and then Attorney General In which time besides his many great and weighty Services he was very careful and industrious in labouring earnesty to suppress the aforesaid Libellers a lover of Learning and a most constant Favourer of the Clergy and Church Government He is a constant Friend to the Church before and after his Advancement established as also a faithful loving Friend to the Archbishop in all his Affairs insomuch as after his advancement to that Honour and that the Earl of Essex and the Archbishop concurred together being also out of the affection of his most honourable Friend the Lord Burghley Lord Treasurer further strengthned by the friendship The Archbishop cherished and strengthened by union of many Friends and love of Sir Robert Cecyll principal Secretary and now Earl of Salisbury and Lord Treasurer of England he began to be fully revived again and as well fortified by them as ever he was when he was most and best friended And her Majesty finding in him a zealous care and faithful performance of his duty and service towards the Church and her Highness shook off those Clergy Cares and laid the burthen The Queen throws the whole care of the Church upon him of them upon his Shoulders telling him That if any thing went amiss be it upon his Soul and Conscience to answer it for she had rid her hands and looked that he should yield an account on her behalf unto Almighty God 86. And now though the Archbishop He disposeth of Bishopricks and all other Ecclesiastical Promotions was in this singular favour and grace with her Majesty so that he did all in all for the managing of Clergy-Affairs and disposing of Bishopricks and other Ecclesiastical Promotions yet was he never puffed up with Pride His great Humility and Lenity nor did any thing violently by reason of his Place and greatness with her Majesty against any man For he ever observed this Rule that he would not wound where he could not salve And I leave to the report of the Adversaries themselves when he had that sway in Government and favour with her Highness whether his Carriage were not exceeding mild and temperate and whether he did not endeavour

Majesty signifying that what punishment should in that respect be allotted to him or unto Hacket they would undergo it and not depart the City till they might further understand what God would do therein Sure it is that being thus shaken They thus slighted grow malicious against him Coppinger writes another Letter in Hacket's name to the Queen threatning dreadful Judgments from God and offers a Sign off by him they grew extremely malicious also against the said worthy Nobleman I find also a Copy of a Letter written in Coppinger's hand but meant to be sent as from Hacket unto her Excellent Majesty wherein amongst other things he desireth he may enjoy that which God hath appointed him and then lewdly and falsly accuseth and revileth two great and worthy Counsellors In the end he saith That if he should tell her the judgments of God that lie at her Gate which the Lord hath shewed him they would be over-fearful for her to endure or to hear of And if she doubted of his sending from the Lord he willeth her to ask a Sign and if he give it not let him die A second course taken by them besides the former Appeachments was a Conspiracy They conspire the death of some Lords of the Council in case Judgment be given against some of their Preachers then Prisoners for Misdemeanors of the death of certain of the Lords of the Council when they should be at the Star-chamber in case they should give any Judgment against certain that were sometime Preachers and are now Prisoners for Misdemeanors perillous to the peaceable state of the Realm as is intended That this devilish Purpose was rise amongst them may appear by a Letter sent by Coppinger in Trinity Term last unto the aforenamed Lancaster In which was contained to this effect That if the Lords should give a hard censure against those Parties the next day if God shewed not such a fearful Judgment against some of those Lords as that some of them should not go alive out of that place then never trust him And albeit some that saw this Letter could not pick any further matter out of it than Coppinger's Conceit that God without some speedy and miraculous Judgment from himself alone would not suffer such men to be punished yet Lancaster to whom it was directed justly suspected some further meaning and that the concealing of it might be both accounted undutiful and further also dangerous unto him and therefore asked counsel of some more skilful than himself whether he might safely suppress it and tear the Letter in pieces Another Device they also had for preparing as is supposed of the minds of the People and to stir them up to be in readiness which was by certain Seditious Letters They scatter Seditious Letters among the People that were purposely scattered five or six Nights afore in many of the Streets of London by some of these Actors or by their Complices and Favourers Likewise there was found in Wigginton's Chamber in the Great numbers of Printed Libels found in Wigginton's Chamber Prison where he remaineth about a thousand printed Pamphlets of two sorts the one of Predestination the other carrying an odd and needless Title to every man that knoweth but the Author For it is entitled on the first side in great Letters thus viz.

Such as do surmise the complaint of Innocency to be revenge and the report of Truth to be slander shall never want the due reward of their gross Error whilst Innocency and Truth shall endure On the other side of the Sheet the Title is A Fatherly Exhortation to a certain young Courtier The matter thereof is conceived into an halting Rime roving lewdly not only at the Governors Ecclesiastical and at other Ministers but also at sundry having Civil Authority and high Places Amongst the rest the first two Staves and last Stave are most perillous if ye respect the present Action these Persons had in hand their Opinions of this State and the base Condition and State of the chief of them The first are these viz. My Son if thou a Courtier sue to be In flower of youth this Lesson learn of me A Christian true although he be a Clown May teach a King to wear Scepter and Crown And in the last Stave are these viz. For God will sure confound such as devise His Ordinance or Church to tyrannize c. These Papers Wigginton by the means and help of one Brown procured privily to be printed at Whitsontide last and being examined Wigginton confesseth that they were all to be sent to Women and by them to be dispersed touching them by her Majesty's Council and others he confessed That they were all to be sent to Women the weaker Vessels viz. to Mistress L. Mistress B. and to I know not how many Mistresses by them to be dispersed abroad to the intent that every one to whom they might come should conceive of them as the Spirit should move them And Hacket also confessed that a part of certain Writings which Wigginton and Coppinger framed was that a Clown might teach a King to wear a Crown Now that Wigginton held intelligence in Wigginton in the Conspiracy for advancing the Discipline these matters with the Conspirators and that there was mutual and ordinary correspondence betwixt him and them in all Plots for advancing of their Discipline per fas nefas besides that which in this behalf hath been touched afore is made also manifest by the confession of Arthington who saith That about the 15th of July or not long before he heard Hacket singing of certain Songs who then wished that Arthington had also some of them For it was a very special thing and said he M. Wiggington hath a great many of them Also Coppinger had once conference with Wigginton in the presence of Arthington touching his extraordinary Calling At what time it is pretended that Wigginton refused to be made acquainted with the manner of Coppinger's Secrets and that he used these Speeches to Coppinger viz. You are known to be an honest Gentleman and sworn to the Queen and therefore I will not be acquainted with those things which God hath revealed unto you for the good of your Sovereign And his Opinion of such extraordinary Callings set down under his own hand doth elsewhere appear whereby is argued that he was made a common Oracle for such Fantasticks That he knew the matter in generality which by Coppinger was to be wrought upon the Queen to bring her forsooth to repentance howsoever he refused to know the particular manner of such Secrets That he acknowledged it to be good for the Queen and yielded it without scruple to be revealed unto Coppinger from God so that it could not be but that Coppinger hereby was much animated to go forward in his
