of the Town of Cambridge two offices which never before or since met in the same person Thus as Cambridge was his verticall place wherein he was in height of honour it was also his verticall where he met with a suddaine turn and sad catastrophe And it is remarkable that though this Duke who by all means endeavoured to engrand his posterity had six Sons all men all married none of them left any issue behind them Thus far better it is to found our hopes of even earthly happinesse on goodnesse then greatnesse 43. Doctor Sandys The hard usage of Dr. Sandys hearing the Bell ring went according to his custome and office attended with the Beadles into the Regent-House and sate down in the Chaire according to his place In cometh one Master Mitch with a rabble of some twenty Papists some endeavouring to pluck him from the Chaire others the Chaire from him all using railing words and violent actions The Doctor being a man of metall g●oped for his dagger and probably had dispatched some of them Anno Dom. 1552 3 had not Doctor Bill Anno Regin Mariae 20 and Doctor Blythe by their prayers and intreaties perswaded him to patience How afterwards this Doctor was spoyled of his goods sent up prisoner to London how with great difficulty he was enlarged and great danger escaped beyond the seas is largely related by Master Fox 44. Some two yeares since Cambridge had her Sweating-Sicknesse Masters placed and displaced but now began her hotfit or fiery-tryall indeed For on the execution of the Duke of Northumberland Stephen Gardiner Bishop of VVinchester was restored Chancellour of Cambridge then followed an alteration of Masters in most Houses However let us give unto Doctor Pern his deserved praise that he quenched the fire of persecution or rather suffered it not to be kindled in Cambridge saving many from the stake by his moderation and let us give in a list of the great alteration In the Masters of Houses which the first year of this Queen did produce Masters put out Colledges Masters put in 1 Ralph Ainsworth because he was married 2 Doctor Iohn Madeu who had been three times Vice-Chancellour 3 Nic.

Iohn Cajus Doctor of Phisick improved the ancient Hall of Gonvil into a new Colledge Dr. Cajus foundeth Cajus Colledge of his own name He was born in Norwich but Son of Robert Cajus a Yorkshire-man spent much of his time in the Italian Vniversities there making many translating moe learned books and after his return was Phisitian to Queen Mary He bestowed a fivefold favour on this his foundation 46. First Giveth it good Land Land to a great proportion So untrue is his Cavill Nescio quid b Rex platonicus p. 216. in margine panxillum as if it was some small inconsiderable matter whereas indeed he conferred thereon the Demesnes of Crokesly in ●ixmonsworth in Hartfordshire Bincomb Manor in Dorcetshire with the Advowsance of the parsonage Rungton and Burnhams-Thorp in Norfolk the Manor of Swansly at Caxton in Cambridgeshire 47. Secondly building And good building Adding a new Court of his own charge and therein three Gates of Remark the Gate of Humility low and little opening into the Street over against S t. Michaels-Church The Gate of Vertue one of the bestpieces of Architesture in England in the midst of the Colledge Thirdly the Gate of Honour leading to the Schools Thus the Gates may read a good Lecture of Morality to such who goe in and out thereat He ordered also that no new windowes be made in their Colledge new lights causing the decay of old Structures 48. Thirdly Good statutes he bestowed on them Cordiall statutes as I may call them for the preserving of the Colledge in good health being so prudent and frugal It must needs thrive in it's own defence if but observing the same thence it is this Society hath alwayes been on the purchasing hand having a fair proportion annually deposited in stock and indeed oweth it's Plenty under God unto it's own Providence Anno Dom. 155 7 8 rather then the bounty of any eminent Benefactour Anno Regin Mariae 6 the Masters onely excepted Who for so many successions have been bountifull unto it that the Colledge in a manner may now prescribe for their

Actus regiminis à Synodis debent porrigi non peragi the latter belonging to the liberty of several Congregations Their Adversaries object that none can give in an exact account of all their opinions daily capable of alteration and increase Whilst such Countries whose unmoveable Mountains and stable Valleys keep a fixed position may be easily surveyed no Geographer can accurately describe some part of Arabia where the flitting sands driven with the winds have their frequent removals so that the Traveller findeth a hole at his return where he left a hill at his departure Such the uncertainty of these Congregationalists in their judgements only they plead for themselves it is not the winde of every d d Mr Cotton his preface to Mr Nortons Book are always for new lights Doctrine but the Sun of the Truth which with its New lights makes them renounce their old and embrace new resolutions 42. Soon after a heavie Schism happened in the Church of Roterdam d Eph. 4. 15. A Schism in Roterdam Church betwixt M r Bridge and M r Simson the two Pastors thereof Insomuch that the latter rent himself saith one e e Mr Edwards ut prius p. 35. from M r Bridge his Church to the great offence thereof though more probable as another f f Mr John Goodwin in answer to Mr Edwards pag. 238. reporteth M r Simson dismissed with the consent of the Church However many bitter letters passed betwixt them and more sent over to their Friends in England full of invectives blackness of the tongue alwayes accompanying the paroxismes of such distempers g pag. 245. Their Presbyterian Adversaries make great use hereof to their disgrace If such Infant-Churches whilst their hands could scarce hold any thing fell a scratching and their feet spurning and kicking one another before they could well goe alone how stubborn and vexatious would they be when arrived at riper years 43. This Schism was seconded with another in the same Church A second Schism in the same Church wherein they deposed one of their Ministers M r Ward I conceive his name which was beheld as a bold and daring deed especially because herein they consulted not their Sister-Church at Arnhein which publickly was professed mutually to be done in cases of concernment Here the Presbyterians triumph in their conceived discovery of the nakedness and weakness of the Congregational way which for want of Ecclesiastical Subordination is too short to reach out a redress to such grievances For seeing par in parem non habet potestatem Equalls have no power over their Equalls the agrieved party could not right himself by any appeal unto a Superior But such consider not the end as well as the beginning of this difference wherein the Church of a a Apol. Nar. pag 21. Arnhein interposing not as a Judge to punish Offenders but as a Brother to check the failings of a Brother matters were so ordered that M r Ward was restored to his place when both he and the Church had mutually confessed their sinful carriage in the matter but enough if not too much hereof seeing every thing put in a Pamphlet is not fit to be recorded in a Chronicle 44. More concord crowned the Congregation at Arnheim The practice of Arnhein Church where M r Goodwin and M r Nye were Pastors wherein besides those Church-Ordinances formerly mentioned actually admitted and exercised some others stood Candidates and fair Probationers on their good behaviour namely if under Tryal they were found convenient Such were 1. The b b 1 Cor. 16. 20. Holy Kiss 2. Prophesyings c c 1 Cor. 14. when Private Christians at fit times made publick use of their parts and gifts in the Congregation 3. Hymns d d Eph. 5. 19. Col 3. 16. and which if no better Divinity then Musick might much be scrupled at 4. Widdows e e 1 Tim. 5. 9. as Essential She-Ministers in the Church which if it be so our late Civil-Wars in England have afforded us plenty for the place 5. Anointing of dying people as a standing Apostolical f f James 5. 14. Ordinance 45. Other things were in agitation The five Exiles return home when now the news ariveth that the Parliament sitting at Westminster had broken the yoak of Ceremonies and proclaimed a year of Jubilee to all tender consciences Home then they hasted with all convenient speed For only England is England indeed though some parts of Holland may be like unto it Over they came in a very good plight and Equipage which the Presbyterians and those I assure you are quick-sighted when pleased to prie took notice of Not a hair of their head singed nor any smell of the fire of persecution upon their Clothes However they were not to be blamed if setting their best foot forward in their return and appearing in the handsomest and chearfullest fashion for the credit of their cause and to show that they were not dejected with their sufferings 46. Presently they fall upon gathering of Congregations Gather Churches in England but chiefly in or about the City of London Trent may be good and Severn better but oh the Thames is the best for the plentifull taking of fish therein They did pick I will not say steal hence a Master thence a Mistress of a Family a Son out of a Third a Servant out of a Fourth Parish all which met together in their Congregation Some prevented calling by their coming of OLD Parishioners to become NEW Church-Members and so forward were they of themselves that they needed no force to compell nor art to perswade them Thus a new Inne never wanteth Guests at the first setting up especially if hanging out a fair Signe and promising more cleanness and neatness then is in any of their Neighbours 47. The Presbyterians found themselves much agrieved hereat The Presbyterians offended They accounted this practise of the Dissenting Brethren but Ecclesiastical felonie for at the best that they were but Spiritual Interlopers for the same They justly feared if this fashion continued the falling of the Roof or foundring of the Foundations of their own Parishes whence so many Corner Stones Pillars Rafters and Beams were taken by the other to build their Congregations They complained that these new Pastors though slighting Tithes and set maintenance yet so ordered the matter by gathering their Churches that these gleanings of Ephraim became better then the Vintage of Abi-ezer 48. Not long after when the Assembly of Divines was called these five Congregationalists were chosen members thereof Dissenting Brethren crave a Toleration but came not up with a full consent to all things acted therein As accounting that the pressing of an exact occurrence to the Presbyterian Government was but a kinde of a Conseience-Prison whilst accurate conformity to the Scotch Church was the very Dungeon thereof
