Transubstantiation established 2. Communion in both kinds excluded 3. Priests mariage prohibited 4. Vowes of chastity warranted 5. Private Masses allowed 6. Auricular Consession justified 3. Edward the 6. comming to the Crowne dispelled the cloud of those six Articles yea and from the mist of other popish remainders so as in his time the Gospell shined out in her full brightnesse But yet about six yeares after by his death a thicker and darker cloud then was in the daies of Henry 8. gathered together in Queene Maries daies and over-shadowed the whole Land Then instead of the heavenly light of the Gospell an hellish light of burning fire brake out to the destruction of many 4. Queene Elizabeth by re-establishing the Gospell as it An. Dom. 1558 were by the brightnesse of the sun put out the fore-mentioned fire and so setled the Gospell of peace in this land as now 73 yeares we have enjoyed with it much externall peace These have beene very speciall deliverances which have apparantly beene wrought by the divine Providence They ought oft to be thought on that our hearts may be the more inflamed to give the glory of them to God To these might be added many other evidences of Gods Providence in preserving the foresaid Queene Elizabeth from many plots and treasons against her Person and life as also in preserving our late King Iames of blessed memory and our now royall Soveraigne But the heads of these have beene distinctly set downe before § 93. 94. §. 14.

This preached 5. Nov. next following ten daies ago befell the Papists in this parish whereof there are many uncertaine reports spread abroad §. 15. Of a downe-fall of Papists An Dom 1623 I Do the more confidently publish this history because I was an eye-witnesse of many of the things therein related and heard from the mouth of such as were present at the sermon the other things For upon the first hearing of the destruction of so many persons as by that Downe-fall lost their lives our Constables forthwith caused the gates of our Precinct it being enclosed about with walls and gates to be shut and raised a strong guard from among the Inhabitants to keepe the house where this accident fell out and to prevent tumult about it Thus thorow the favour of the Constables and Watch who were all my neighbours I had the more free and quiet accesse to view the dead bodies and to ensorme myselfe in all the materiall circumstances of that accident and that I did somuch the rather because the Bishop of London that then was sēt to me to inform my self thorowly of the whole businesse and send him a narration thereof under my hand whereupon I did not onely view matters my selfe but caused Carpenters to search the timber to take the scantlings thereof and to measure the roomes I was also present with the Coroner and his Inquest at their examining of all circumstances about the businesse And where my Lords Grace of Canterbury sent to me to come to him and to bring with me the best evidence I could I got the Foreman and others of the Iury and four persons that were present at the sermon and fell downe with the multitude but by Gods providence escaped death and one that stood without the doore in hearing but fell not all these I got to go with me to Lambith where I heard the witnesse which they gave to my Lords Grace about the matter One that fell with the rest and escaped death was M r.
