passed the Approbation of both Houses of Parliament 13. The Book being finished and subscribed it w●s with all due ●everence humbly presented to the ●ing by whom it was received to his great Comfort and Quietnesse of mind as the Statute telleth us and being by him commended to the Lords and Commons then assembled in Parliament They did not only give his Highnesse most hearty and lowly Thanks for his Care therein but on perusal thereof declared it to be done by the aid of the Holy Ghost and thereupon it was enacted That all Ministers in the Kings Dominions should say Common and open prayer in such order and form as is mentioned in the same Book and no otherwise 14. The raign of this Young King was indeed remarkable for the progresse of the Reformation but otherwise tumultuous in it self and defamed by Sacrilege and so distracted into sides and factions that in the end the King himself became a prey to the strongest party 15. The Physicians that attended him on his death bed whispered That neither their Advice nor Applications had been at all regarded in the course of his sicknesse That the King had been ill dealt with more than once or twice and That when by the benefit both of his Youth and carefull means there were some fair hopes of his Recovery he was again more strongly overlaid than ever It is affirmed by a Writer of the Popish party who could have no great cause to pity such a calamitous end that the Apothecary who poysond him for the horrour of the offense and the disquietnesse of his Conscience did not long after drown himself 16. In his dying prayer as it was taken from his Mouth we have those pious words Lord God deliver me out of this miserable and wretched life and take me among thy Chosen Howbeit not my will but thine be done Lord Blesse my people and save thine inheritance Defend this Realm from Papistry and maintain thy true Religion Ob. 6.

Chiswell at the Rose and Crown in St. Pauls Church yard II. The Lady JANE GREY Out of Dr Heylins History of the Reformation 1. SHe was eldest Daughter of Henry L. Grey Duke of Suffolk Her Mother was the Ladie Francis daughter and in fine one of the coheires of Charles Brandon the late Duke of Suffolk by Marie his wife Queen Dowager to Lewis 12. of France and youngest Daughter of K. Henrie VII She seemed to have been born with those Attractions which seat a Soveraigntie in the face of most beautiful persons yet was her Mind endued with more excellent Charms then the Attractions of her Face Modest and Mild of Disposition Courteous of Carriage and of such Affable Deportment as might entitle her to the name of Queen of Hearts before she was designed for Queen over any Subjects 2. These her Native and obliging Graces were accompanied with some more profitable ones of her own acquiring which set an higher value on them and much encreased the same both in Worth and Lustre Having attained unto that Age in which other young Ladies used to apply themselves to the sports and exercises of their Sex She wholly gave her Mind to good Arts and Sciences much furthered in that pursuit by the loving Care of Mr Elmer under whose charge she came to such a large proficiency that she spake the Latin and Greek Tongues with as sweet a fluencie as if they had been natural and native to her exactly skilled in the liberal Sciences and perfectly well studied in both kinds of Philosophie 3. Take here a story out of Mr Ascham's Schoolm p. 11. in his own words One example Whether love or fear doth work more in a child for vertue and learning I will gladly report which may be heard with some pleasure and followed with more profit Before I went into Germanie I came to Brodegate in Leicestershire to take my leave of that noble Ladie Jane Grey to whom I was exceeding much beholding Her Parents the Duke and the Dutchesse with all the Houshold Gentlemen and Gentlewomen were hunting in the Park I found her in her Chamber reading Phoedon Platonis in Greek and that with as much delight as some Gentlemen would read a merry tale in Bocace After salutation and duty done with some other talk I asked her why she would leese such pastime in the Park Smiling she answered me I wisse all their sport in the Park is but a shadow to that pleasure that I find in Plato Alas good folk they never felt what true pleasure meant And how came You Madam quoth I to this deep knowledge of pleasure and what did chiefly allure You unto it seeing not many women but very few men have attained thereunto I will tel you saith she and tell you a troth which perchance ye will marvel at One of the greatest benefits that ever God gave me is that he sent me so sharp and severe Parents and so gentle a Schoolmaster For when I am in presence either of Father or Mother whether I speak keep silence sit stand or go eat drink be merry or sad be sowing playing dauncing or doing any thing else I must do it as it were in such weight measure and number even so perfectly as God made the world or else I am so sharply traunted so cruelly threatned yea presently sometimes with pinches nips and bobs and waies which I will not name for the honour I bear them so without measure misordered that I think my self in hell till time come that I must go to Mr Elmer who teacheth me so gently so pleasantly with such fair allurements to learning that I think all the time nothing whiles I am with him And when I am called from him I fall on weeping because whatsoever I do else but learning is full of grief trouble fear and whole misliking unto me And thus my book hath been so much my pleasure and bringeth dayly to me more pleasure and more that in respect of it all other pleasures in very deed be but trifles and troubles unto me I remember this talk gladly both because it is so worthy of memory and because also it was the last talk that ever I had and the last time that ever I saw that noble and worthy Lady Thus far Mr Ascham 4. By this eminent proficiency in all parts of learning and an Agreeablenesse in Disposition she became very dear to the Young K. Edward to whom Fox not onely makes her equal but doth acknowledge her also to be his Superiour in those noble studies And for an Ornament superadded to her other perfections she was most zealously affected to the true Protestant Religion then by law established Which she embraced not out of any outward compliance with the present current of the Times but because her own mo●t excellent Judgement had been fully

up desired to be spared and besought her Highnesse to make choice of Sir Christopher Hatton who shortly after was made Lord Chancellour in the Archbishops house at Croydon thereby the rather to grace the Arch-bishop His advancement did much strengthen the Arch-bishop and his friends and withall the Earl of Leicester and his designments came soon after to an end 21. An. 1588. Upon the death of the Farl of Leicester the Chancellorship of Oxford being void divers of the Heads and others of the University made known unto the Arch-bishop their desire to chufe him their Chancellour although he was a Cambridge man To whom he returned this Answer That he was already their friend whereof they might rest assured and therefore advised them to make choice of some other in near place about the Queen that might assist him on their behalf and both at the Council-board and other places of Justice right them many waies both for the benefit of their Vniversity and of their Colledges And therewithall recommended unto them Sir Christopher Hatton being sometime of that University Whom accordingly they did chuse for their Chancellour and whom the Arch-bishop ever found a great Assistant in bridling and reforming the imtemperate humour of those Novelists who by the Countenance of some great personages were now grown to a strong head 22. It was in their Assemblies Classical and Synodical concluded that the Discipline should within a time limited be put in practice and erected all in one day by the Ministers together with the people whom those Disciplinarians bragged ●o be already enflamed with zeal to lend so many thousand hands for the advancement of their Cause In their publick Sermons and Exhorcations as in their private Conventicles they did alienate the hearts of their Auditors from all obedience of the Ecclesiastical Magistrates As namely Mr. Cartwright who also in his prayer before his Sermons used thus to say Because they 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 Emphasts he would often repeat And doth not ●dall threaren that 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 23. Great was the temper and moderation of the good Arch-bishop in handling these b●sines●es In his time Brown was changed from his fansies and afterwards obtained a Benefice called Achurch in North-Hamptonshire where he became a painfull Preacher He did not though he might have blemished with her Majesty the reputations of some in great place for favouring the Libellers and Libels which had stowage and vent in their Chambers He procured at her Majesties hands both pardon and dismission for Mr. Cartwright and the rest out of their troubles For which Mr. Cartwright held himself much obliged and in his letters acknowledgeth his bond of most humble duty so much the straiter because his Graces favour proceeded from a frank disposition without any desert of his own 24. The Arch-bishop hath been heard to say That if Mr. Cartwright had not so far engaged himself as he did in the beginning he thought verily he would in his later time have been drawn to Comformity For when he was freed from his troubles he often repaired to the Arch-bishop who used him kindly and was contented to tolerate his preaching in Warwick divers years upon his promise that he would not impugn the laws orders and government in this Church of England but perswade 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 Mr. Cartwright did preach again though temperately according to his promise made to the Arch-bishop She would by no means endure his preaching any longer without subscription and grew not a little offended with the Arch-bishop for such conniving at him Not long after Mr. Cartwright dyed rich as it was said by the benevolence and bounty of his followers 25. An. 1592. After the death of Sir Christopher H●tton Sir John Puckering was made Lord Keeper who shewed himself a friend to the Church to the Arch-bishop and his proceedings and acknowledged him a furtherer of his Advancement Sir Thomas Egerton Master of the Rolles succeeded him 6. May. 1596. a lover of learning and a most constant favourer of the Clergy and Church-government established as also a faithfull loving friend to the Arch-bishop in all his affairs In so much as after his advancement to that honour and that the Earl of Essex and the Arch-bishop concurred together being also further strengthned by the friendship and love of Sir Robert Cecil Principal Secretary he began to be fully revived again And her Majesty finding in him a zealous care and faithfull performance of his duty laid the burthen of the Church 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 yeeld an account on her behalf to Almighty God 26. And now though the Arch-bishop was in this singular favour and grace with his 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 nor did any thing violently against any man For he ever observed this rule That he would not wound where he could not salve So that it was truly noted by the Earl of Salisbury a great Counsellour in the Star-chamber when Pickering was there censured for libelling against him after his death That there was nothing more to be feared in his Government especially toward his later time then his mildnesse and clemency And some younger spirits were of opinion that he was much to blame in that kind and sometimes would be bold to tell him That he knew not his own strength with her Majesty 27. As you may perceive his clemency towards the irregular sort so towards the conformable he was carried with an exceeding tender respect and kindnesse He loved a learned Minister vertuous and honest with all his heart framing himself unto that rule of Aristotle which directeth a good Magistrate to be as carefull in encouraging good men according to their merits as in punishing the bad according to the quality of their offenses If he found a Scholar of extraordinary gifts or hopes that out of wants grew discontented and enclined to Popery or Puritanism as most of their discontentments and way-wardnesse proceedeth thence him would he gain both with supplies of mony out of his purse and preferments of his own gift or otherwise as opportunity served 28. Neither was his Bounty wanting to men of learning and quality of forrein Countries Sundry times sent he mony to Mr. Beza
