that the Doctor sayes is this that as the University of Cambridge was of a later foundation then Oxford was so it was long before it grew into esteem that is to say to such a measure of esteem at home or abroad before the building of Kings Colledge and the rest that followed but that the King might use those words in his discourse with the Bishop of Winchester And for the Narrative the Doctor whom I have talked with in this businesse doth not shame to say that he borrowed it from that great Treasury of Academical Antiquities Mr. Brian Twine whose learned Works stand good against all Opponents and that he found the passage justified by Sir Isaack Wake in his Rex Platonicus Two Persons of too great wit and judgement to relate a matter of this nature on no better ground than common Table-talk and that too spoke in merriment by Sir Henry Savil. Assuredly Sir Henry Savil was too great a Zealot for that University and too much a friend to Mr. Wake who was Fellow of the same Colledge with him to have his Table-talk and discourses of merriment to be put upon Record as grounds and arguments for such men to build on in that weighty Controversie And therefore when our Author tells us what he was told by Mr. Hubbard Mr. Hubbard by Mr. Barlow Mr. Barlow by Mr. Bust and Mr. Bust by Sir Henry Savil. It brings into my minde the like Pedegree of as true a Story even that of Mother Miso in Sir Philip Sidney telling the young Ladies an old Tale which a good old woman told her which an old wise man told her which a great learned Clerk told him and gave it him in writing and there she had it in her Prayer-book as here our Author hath found this on the end of his Creed Not much unlike to which is that which I finde in the Poet Quae Phaebo Pater omnipotens mihi Phoebus Apollo Praedixâ—t vobis Furiarum ego maxima pando That is so say What Iove told Phoebus Phoebus told to me And I the chief of Furies tell to thee Fuller The controversie betwixt us consists about a pretended Speech of King Henry the sixth to Bishop Wainfleet perswading him to found a Colledge at Oxford To whom the King is said to return Yea rather at Cambridge that if it be possible I may have two Universities in England A passage pregnant with an Inference which delivereth it self without any Midwifry to help it viz. that till the time of King Henry the sixth Cambridge was no or but an obsâ—ure University both being equally untrue The Animadvertor will have the speech grounded on good Authority whilest I more than suspect to have been the frolick of the fancie of S. Isaack Wake citing my Author for my beliefe which because removed four descents is I confesse of the lesse validity Yet is it better to take a Truth from the tenth than a Falshood from the first hand Both our Relations ultimately terminate in Sir Isaack Wake by the Animadvertor confessed the first printed Reporter thereof I confess S. I. Wake needed none but Sr. Isaack Wake to attest the truth of such thing which he had heard or seen himself In such Case his bare Name commandeth credit with Posterity But relating a passage done at distance some years before his great Grandfather was rockt in his Cradle we may and must doe that right to our own Iudgement as civily to require of him security for what he affirmeth especially seeing it is so clog'd with such palpable improbabilitie Wherefore till this Knights invisible Author be brought forth into light I shall remain the more confirmed in my former Opinion Rex Platonicus alone sounding to me in this point no more than Plato's Commonwealth I mean a meer Wit work or Brain-Being without any other real existence in Nature Dr. Heylin But to proceed Fol. 190. This was that Nevil who for Extraction Estate Alliance Dependents Wisdome Valour Success and Popularity was superiour to any English Subject since the Conquest Our Author speaks this of that Richard Nevil who was first Earl of Warwick in right of Anne his Wife Sister Heir of Henry Beauchamp the last of that Family and after Earl of Salisbury by discent from his Father a potent and popular man indeed but yet not in all or in any of those respects to be match'd with Henry of Bullenbrook son to Iohn of Gaunt whom our Author must needs grant to have lived since the time of the Conquest Which Henry after the death of his Father was Duke of Lancaster and Hereford Earl of Leicester Lincoln and Darby c. and Lord High Steward of England Possessed by the donation of King Henry the third of the County Palatine of Lancaster the forfeited Estates of Simon de Montfort Earl of Leicester Robert de Ferrars Earl of Darby and Iohn Lord of Monmouth By the compact made between Thomas Earl of Lancaster and Alice his Wife of the Honor of Pomfret the whole Estate of the Earl of Lincoln and a great part of the Estates of the Earl of Salisbury of the goodly Territories of Ogmore and Kidwelly in Wales in right of his descent from the Chaworths of the Honor and Castle of Hartford by the grant of King Edward the third and of the Honor of Tickhill in Yorkshire by the donation of King Richard the second and finally of a Moity of the vast Estate of Humphry de Bohun Earl of Hereford Essex and Northampton in right of his Wife So royal in his Extraction that he was Grandchilde unto one King Cousin-german to another Father and Grand-father to two more So popular when a private person and that too in the life of his Father that he was able to raise and head an Army against Richard the Second with which he discomfited the Kings Forces under the command of the Duke of Ireland So fortunate in his Successes that he not onely had the better in the Battail mentioned but came off with Honor and Renown in the War of Africk and finally obtained the Crown of England And this I trow renders him much Superior to our Authors Nevil whom he exceeded also in this particular that he dyed in his bed and left his Estates unto his Son But having got the Crown by the murther of his Predecessor it stai'd but two descents in his Line being unfortunately lost by King Henry the sixth of whom being taken and imprisoned by those of the Yorkish Faction our Author telleth us Fuller It never came into my thoughts to extend the Parallel beyond the line of Subjection confining it to such as moved only in that Sphere living and dying in the Station of a Subject and thus far I am sure I am â—ight that this our Nevil was not equal'd much lesse exceeded by any English-man since the Conquest As for Henry Duke of Lancaster his Coronet was afterwards turned into a Crown and I never intended comparison with one who became a
dissensionem consensum in vera Religione firmandum that is to say to take away diversitie of Opinions and to establish an agreement in the true Religion Which end could never be effected if men were left unto the liberty of dissenting or might have leave to put their own sense upon the Articles But whereas our instances in the Article of Christs descent into Hell telling us that Christs preaching unto the Spirits there on which the Article seemed to be grounded in King Edwards Book was left out in this and thereupon inferreth that men are left unto a latitude concerning the cause time manner of his discent I must needs say that he is very much mistaken For first the Church of England hath alwaies constantly maintained a local Descent though many which would be thought her Children the better to comply with Calvin and some other Divines of forain Nations have deviated in this point from the sense of the Church And secondly the reason why this Convocation left out that passage of Christ preaching to the spirits in hell was not that men might be left unto a latitude concerning the cause time and manner of his Descent as our Author dreams but because that passaage of St. Peter being capable of some other interpretations was not conceived to be a clear and sufficient evidence to prove the Article For which see Bishop Bilsons Survey p. 388.389 Fuller I cannot fully concur with the Animadvertor That the Church of England hath constantly maintained a LOCAL DESCENT though no man hath an higher esteem for those worthy Writers who are of that perswasion I will confess this hitherto hath staggered me viz. St. Peter his application of Davids words to Christ thou shalt not leave my soul in hel I appeal whether these words import not a favour to all unprejudiced hearers which God did to his Son bearing this natural and unviolated sense That had God left Christs soul in hell his soul had been in a bad condition as being there in a suffering capacity but Gods Paternal affection to his dear Son would not leave his soul in hell but did rescue it thence Now all our Protestant and especially English Writers who maintain a LOCAL DESCENT doe very worthily in opposition to the Romish Error defend that Christ was then in a good estate yea in a triumphing condition Now then it had been no favour not to leave his soul in Hell but a less love unto him to contract his happiness in his triumph I protest that in this or any other point I am not possest with a spirit of opposition and when I am herein satisfied in any good degree I shall become the Animadvertors thankful Convert in this particular Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 74. In a word concerning this clause whether the Bishops were faulty in their addition or their opposites in their substraction I leave to more cunning Arithmeticians to decide The Clause here spoken of by our Author is the first Sentence in the twentieth Article entituled De Ecclesiae Authoritate where it is said that the Church hath power to decree Rites and Ceremonies and Authority in Controversies of the Faith c. Fuller To this and to what ensueth in two leaves following I return no answer not because I am pinched therein with any matter of moment but for these reasons following First I understand That the Animadvertors Stationer taketh exception that I have printed all his book which may tend to his detriment Now I protest when I â—irst took up this resolution to present the Animadvertors whole Cloth List Fagg and all I aimed not at his damage but my own defence noâ— can I see how I could doe otherwise seeing the plaister must be as broad as the sore the tent as deep as the wound yea I have been inâ—ormed by prime Stationers the like hath formerly been done without exception taken on either side in the Replies and Rejoynders betwixt Dr. Whitgift and Mr. Cartwright and many others However being willing to avoid all appearance of injury I have left out some observations which I conceived might well be spared as containing no pungent matter against me Secondly I am confident That there needs no other answer to these notes then the distinct and serious perusal of my Church History with the due alteration of favour indulged to all writings Lâ—stly What of moment in these notes is omitted by me relateth to those two Church Questions in Law which I have formerly desired may fairly be ventilated betwixt the Animadvertor and me and if he be sensible That any thing herein tendeth to his advantage he may and no doubt will re-assume and enforce the same Dr. Heylin From the Articles our Author proceeds unto the Homilies approved in those Articles and of them he tels us Fol. 75. That if they did little good they did little harm With scorn and insolence enough Those Homilies were so composed as to instruct the people in all positive Doctrines necessary for Christian men to know with reference both to Faith and Manners and being penned in a plain style as our Author hath it were fitter for the edification of the common people than either the strong lines of some or the flashes of vain wit in others in these latter times c. Fuller With scorn and insolence I defie the words The Animadvertor might have added my words immediately following viz. They preached not strange Doctrines to People as too many vent DARKNESSES now a dayes intituled New Ligâ—ts And well had it been for the peace and happiness of the Church if the Animadvertor and all of his Party had had as high an esteem as the Author hath for the Homilies If none of them had called them HOMELY HOMILIES as one did And if they had conformed their practise to the second Homilie in the second Book and not appeared so forward in countenancing Images of God and his Saints in Churches Dr. Heylin The Author proceeds Fol. 76. The English Bishops conceiving themselves impowred by their Canons began to shew their authority in urging the Clergy of their Diocess to subscribe to the Liturgy Ceremonies and Discipline of the Church and such as refused the same were branded with the odious name of Puritans Our Author having given the Parliament a power of confirming no Canons as before was shewed he brings the Bishops acting by as weak Authority in the years 1563. 1564. there being at that time no Canons for them to proceed upon for requiring their Clergy to subscribe to the Liturgies Ceremonies and Discipline of the Church And therefore if they did any such thing it was not as they were impowred by their Canons but as they were inabled by that Authority which was inherent naturally in their Episcopal Office Fuller I profess my self not to understand the sense of the Animadvertor and what he driveth at herein And as soon as I shall understand him I will either fully concur with him or fairly
declare his power over his people So that the King got not one single mite of Title more than he had before this four-fold Acclamation Dr. Heylyn And this I call piece of new State-Doctrine never known before because I find the contrary in the Coronation of our former Kings For in the form and manner of the Coronation of King Edward 6. described in the Catalogue of Honour set forth by Thomas Mills of Canterbury Anno 1610. we find in thus The King being carried by certain noble Courtiers in another Chair unto the four sides of the Stage was by the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury declared unto the people standing round about both by Gods and Mans Lawes to be the right and lawfull King of England France and Ireland and proclaimed that day to be Crowned Consecrated and Annointed unto whom he demanded Whether they would obey and serve or not By whom it was again with a loud cry answered God save the King and Ever live his Majesty The same we have in substance but in fewer words in the Coronation of King Iames where it is said that The King was shewed to the People and that they were required to make acknowledgement of their allegiance to his Majesty by the Arch-Bishop which they did by acclamations Assuredly the difference is exceeding vast betwixt obeying and consenting betwixt the Peoples acknowledging their alliegance and promising to obey and serve their lawfull Soveraign and giving their consent to his Coronation as if it could not be performed without such consent Fuller The hinge of the controversie turneth on the criticall difference betwixt these two phrases Acknowledging their allegiance to their Soveraigne Giving consent to his Coronation The Animadvertor endeavours to widen the distance betwixt them and make the difference vast yea exceeding vast against the will of the words vvhich are well inclined to an agreement there being a Vicinity yea Affinity betvvixt them since such who vvill not acknowledge their Allegiance will not give-consent to his Coronation and such vvho will consent thereunto will acknowledge their allegiance I refer my self wholly in this difference to the Arbitration of Mr. Mills the same Author and Edition cited by the Animadvertor who speaking of the antient form of the Coronation of the Kings of England in reference to this passage thus expresseth himself After the King hath a little reposed himself in the Chair or Throne erected upon the Scaffold then the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury shall go unto the four squares of the Scaffold and with a loud voice Ask the good liking of the people concerning the Coronation of the King Small I am sure is the difference betwixt consenting and good-liking However the Kings Coronation though following after did not depend on such consent good-liking or acknowledging of Allegiance seeing amongst our English Kings an Vsurper's Title was not the better with nor a lawfull Prince's the worse without such ceremonies of State Dr. Heylyn pag. 202. Nor had the late Arch-Bishop been reproacht so generally by the common people and that reproach publish'd in severall Pamphlets for altering the King's Oath at his Coronation to the infringing of the Liberties and diminution of the Rights of the English Subjects had he done them such a notable piece of service as freeing them from all promises to obey and serve and making the Kings Coronation to depend on their consent For Bishop Laud being one of that Committee which was appointed by the King to review the form and order of the Coronation to the end it might be fitted to some Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of England which had not been observ'd before must bear the greatest blame in this alteration if any such alteration had been made as our Author speaks of because he was the principall man whom the King relied on in that business Fuller This proceedeth on the former foundation which being false and confuted the superstructure sinketh therewith Dr. Heylyn But our Author tells us in his Preface that this last Book with divers of the rest were written by him when the Monarchy was turn'd into a State And I dare believe him He had not else so punctually conform'd his language to the State-doctrin by which the making and consequently the unmaking of Kings is wholly vested in the People according to that Maxim of Buchanan Populo jus est imperium cui velit deferat than which there is not a more pestilent and seditious passage in his whole Book De jure Regni apud Scotos though there be nothing else but treason and sedition in it Fuller What I wrote in this point I wrote in my PREFACE that it might be obvious to every Eye viz. That the first three Books of my Church History were for the main written in the Reign of the late King the other nine since Monarchy was turn'd into a State My language in the latter Books forbeareth such personall passages on the King and his Posterity which in his life-time were as consistent with my loyalty as since inconsistent with my safety I will instance in one of them Church-History Book 3. Page 52. Some of whose Offspring King Iohn 's shall flourish in free and full power on the English Throne when the Chair of Pestilence shall be burnt to ashes and neither Tripple Crown left at Rome to be worn nor any Head there which shall dare to wear it But if the Animadvertor or any by him employed can in any my nine last Books discover a syllable sounding to the disparagement of the Kings person or power to any impartiall Ear let me who so long fed on the King's large diet be justly famished for my unthankfulnesse As for Buchanan as I admire his Poetry so I dislike his Divinity especially in this point desiring that his Principles may never come South the River Tweed and if offering it may be drowned in their passage Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds f. 123. Then as many Earls and Barons as could conveniently stand about the Throne did lay their hands on the Crown on his Majesty's head protesting to spend their bloods to maintain it to him and his lawfull Heirs A promise faithfully performed by many of them some losing their lives for him in the open field others exhausting their Estates in the defence of his many more venturing their whole fortunes by adhering to him to a confiscation A Catalogue of which last we may find subscribed to a Letter sent from the Lords and Commons of Parliament assembled in Oxford to those at Westminster Anno 1643. And by that Catalogue we may also see what and who they were who so ignobly brake faith vvith him all those whose names we find not in that subscription or presently superadded to it being to be reckoned amongst those who instead of spending their blood to maintain the Crown to Him and to his lawful Successors concurred vvith them either in opere or in voto who despoiled him of it And to say truth they were revvarded as
they had deserved the first thing which was done by the House of Commons after the King by their means had been brought to the fatall Block being to turn them out of povver to dissolve their House and annul their priviledges reducing them to the same condition vvith the rest of the Subjects Fuller I behold all this Paragraph as a Letter sent to me vvhich requires no Answer onely I bear the Animadvertor witnesse that it is delivered seeing I was none of the Lords on either Side But I am not altogether satisfied in the Adequation of the Animadvertor's Dichotomy to all the English Nobility That all not subscribing the Catalogue at Oxford must instantly be concluded on the opsite Party believing that upon serious search some Lords would be found in their Minority and not necessarily reducible to either of these heads Dr. Heylyn Footsteps of his moderation content with the enjoying without the enjoyning their private practices and opinions on others This comes in as an inference onely on a former passage in which it is said of Bishop Andrews that in what place soever he came he never pressed any other Ceremonies upon them than such as he found to be used there before his comming Though othervvise condemned by some for many superstitious Ceremonies and superfluous Ornaments used in his private Chappell How true this is I am not able to affirm Fuller The Animadvertor if so disposed might soon have satisfied himself in this point being Beneficed in Hampshire the last Diocesse of Bishop Andrews And though his institution into his Living was since the death of that worthy Prelate yet his information in this particular had been easie from the aged Clergy of his Vicinage Sure I am he ever was inquisitive enough in matters vvhiâ—h might make for his advantage so that his not denying tantamounteth to the affirming of the matter in question Dr. Heylyn I am less able if it should be true to commend it in him It is not certainly the office of a carefull Bishop onely to leave things as he found them but to reduce them if amiss to those Rules and Canons from which by the forwardness of some to innovate and the connivance of others at the innovations they had been suffered to decline Fuller I comply cordially with the Animadvertor in all this last Sentence Only I add That it is also the office of a good Bishop not to endeavour the Alteration of things well setled before This was the constant practice of Doctor Andrews successively Bishop of Chichester Ely and Winchester who never urged any other Ceremonies that what which he found there Now whereas the Animadvertor saith that iâ— this should be true he is not able to commend it in him the matter is not much seeing the actions of Bishop Andrewes are able to commend themselves Dr. Heylyn And for the Inference it selfe it is intended chiefly for the late Arch-Bishop of Canterbury against whom he had a fling before in the fourth Book of this History not noted there because reserved to another place of vvhich more hereafter Condemmed here for his want of moderation in enjoyning his private practices and opinions on other men But first our Author had done well to have spared the man vvho hath already reckoned for all his errours both vvith God and the vvorld Fuller He hath so and I hope what he could not satisfie in himself was done by his Savâ—our But first the Animadvertor had done wel to have spared his censure on my intentions except he had better assurance of them Here I must Reader appeal to an higher than thy self Him vvho can read the secrets of my heart before whom I protest That in this passage I did not reflect in any degree on the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury To make this the more probable knovv the Articles of his Visitation vvere observed to be as moderate as any Bishops in England Here let me enter this Memorable and let the Animadvertor confute it if he can There was a designe of the thirty six Dissenters of whom hereafter in the Convocaâ—ion to obtain that these Articles of his Visitation might be precedenâ—tall to all the Bishops in England as being in themselves in offensive and containing no Innovations This was by some communicated to Arch-Bishop Laud who at first seemed to approve thereof and how it came afterwards to miscarry I am not bound to discover I confess this my expression did eye another person related to Bishop Andrewes whom I forbear to name except by the Animadvertor's reply unto me I be forced thereunto Dr. Heylyn And secondly it had been better if he had told us what those private practises and opinions were which the Arch-Bishop with such want of moderation did enjoyâ— on others Fuller They are reckoned up in my Church-History Book 11. pag. 174. parag 47 48. This is direction enough and there one may find more then a good many of such opinions and practises On the self-same token that it was discreetly done of the Animadvertor to pass them over in silence without a word in their defence or excuse I will not again here repeat them partly because I will not revive what in some sort is dead and buried and partly because I charitably believe that some engaged therein and still alive are since sorry for their over-activity therein Dr. Heylyn For it is possible enough that the opinions which he speaks of might be the publick Doctrines of the Church of England maintained by him in opposition to those private opinions which the Calvinian party had intended to obtrude upon her A thing complained oâ— by Spalato who well observed that many of the opinions both of Luther and Calvin were received amongst us as part of the Doctrine and Confession of the Church of England which otherwise he acknowledged to be capable of an Orthodox sense Praeter Anglicanam Confessionem quam mi â— ut moâ—estam praedicalant multa video Lutheri Calvini dogmata obtinuisse as he there objects Fuller I am not bound to stand to the judgment of Spalato who would not stand to his own judgment but first in â—earâ— then in body went back into Aegypt Lay not such unsavoury salt in my dish but cast it to the Dunghill Dr. Heylyn He that reads the Gag and the Appello Caesarem of Bishop Monâ—â—gue cannot but see that those opinions which our Author condemned for private were the true Doctrine of this Church professed and held forth in the Book of Articles the Homilies and the Common-Prayer-Book Fuller He that reads the Answers returned by severall Divines to the Books of Bishop Montague cannot but see that they were rather private opinions than the true and professed Doctrine of the Church of England Here Reader I cannot but remember a passage betwixt two Messengers sent to carry Defiances from severall Armies who meeting in the mid-way though naked and without Swords yet to manifest their zeal to their Cause fought it out with their Trumpets
in our Author's History though the greatest falshood Tam facilis in mendaciis fides ut quicquid famae liceat fingere illi esset libenter audire in my Author's language But for the last he brings some proof he would have us think so at the least that is to say the words of one Bayly a Scot whom it concern'd to make him as odious as he could the better to comply with a Pamphlet called The intentions of the Army in which it was declared That the Scots entred England with a purpose to remove the Arch-bishop from the King and execute their vengeance on him What hand Dr. Couzens had in assisting of the work I am not able to say But sure I am that there was nothing was done in it by the Bishops of England but with the counsel and co-operation of their brethren in the Church of Scotland viz. the Arch-bishop of St. Andrews the Arch-bishop of Glasco the Bishops of Murray Ross Brechin and Dunblane as appears by the Book entituled Hidden works of darkness c. fol. 150 153 154 c. And this our Author must needs know but that he hath a mind to quarrell the Arch-bishop upon every turn as appears plainly 1. By his Narrative of the Designe in King Iames his time from the first undertaking of it by the Arch-bishop of St. Andrewes and the Bishop of Galloway then being whose Book corrected by that King with some additions expunctions and accommodations was sent back to Scotland 2. By that unsatisfiedness which he seems to have when the project was resum'd by King Charls Whether the Book by him sent into Scotland were the same which had passed the hands of King Iames or not which he expresseth in these words viz. In the Reigne of King Charls the project was resumed but whether the same Book or no God knoweth fol. 160. If so if God onely know whether it were the same or no how dares he tell us that it was not And if it was the same as it may be for ought he knoweth with what conscience can he charge the making of it upon Bishop Laud Besides as afterward he telleth us fol. 163 The Church of Scotland claimed not onely to be Independent and free as any Church in Christendom a Sister not a Daughter of England And consequently the Prelates of that Church had more reason to decline the receiving of a Liturgy impos'd on them or commended to them by the Primat of England for fear of acknowledging any subordination to him than to receive the same Liturgy here by Law establisht which they might very safely borrow from their Sister-Church without any such danger But howsoever it was the blame must fall on him who did least deserve it Fuller I will return to my words which gave the Animadvertor the first occasion of this long discourse Generally they excused the King in their writings but charged Arch-bishop Laud. I do not charge the Arch-bishop for compiling the Book but say The Scots did Nor do I say That what they charged on him is true but it is true that they did charge it on him Had I denyed it I had been a liar and seeing I affirmed no more the Animadvertor is a caviller It is observable that when our Chroniclers relate how Queen Anne Bollen was charged for Incontinency Margaret Countess of Salisbury for treasonable compliance with the Pope Henry Earl of Surrey for assuming the Arms of England Edward Duke of Somerset for designing the death of some Privy Counsellors Thomas Duke of Norfolk for aspiring by the match of the Queen of Scots to the English Crown Robert Earl of Essex for dangerous machinations against the person of Queen Elizabeth Thomas Earl of Strafford for endeavouring to subject England and Ireland to the King 's arbitrary Power That the Historians who barely report these Persons thus charged are not bound to make the charge good it is enough if they name their respective accusers as here I have named the Scots It is also observable that some of the Persons aforesaid though condemned and executed have since found such favour or justice rather with unpartiall Posterity that though they could not revive their persons they have restored their memories to their innocence And if the like shall be the hap of this Arch-bishop I shall rejoyce therein I mean if the Animadvertor's defence of him seems so clear as to out-shine the evidence so weighty as to out-poize all allegations which in printed Books are published against him In testimony whereof I return nothing in contradiction to what the Animadvertor hath written and it is questionable whether my desire that he may or distrust that he will not be believed be the greater Whatever the success be I forbear farther rejoynder To fight with a shaddow whether one's own or another's passeth for the proverbiall expression of a vain and useless act But seeing the dead are sometimes tearmed shaddows umbrae to fall foul on them without absolute necessity is an act not onely vain but wicked not onely useless but uncharitable And therefore no more hereof Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceedeth 167. Thus none seeing now foul weather in Scotland could expect it fair Sun-Shine in England In this I am as little of our Author's Opinion as in most things else The Sun in England might have shined with a brighter Beam if the Clouds which had been gathered together and threatned such foule Weather in Scotland had been dispersed and scattered by the Thunder of our English Ordnance The opportunity was well given and well taken also had it not been unhappily lost in the Prosecution Fuller Grant the Thunder of our English Ordnance had scattered the Scottish Clâ—uds yet by the confession of the Animadvertor there must first be foul weather in England before there could be such fair weather to follow it The Skyes are alwayes dark and lowring even whilst the Thunder is Engendering therein Military preparations in order to a Conquest of the Scotts must needs give our Nation great troubles and for the time un-Sunshine England which is enough to secure my Expression from just exception Dr. Heylyn The Scots were then weak unprovided of all Necessaries not above three thousand compleat Armes to be found amongst them The English on the other side making a formidable appearance gallantly Horst compleaty Armed and intermingled with the Choisest of the Nobility and Gentry in all the Nation Fuller I am much of the mind of the Animadvertor that there was a visible Disparity betwixt the two Armies and the Ods in the eye of flesh on the side of the English They were Gallantly Horst indeed whether in Reference to their Horses or Riders and the King pleasantly said It would make the Scots fight against them were it but to get their brave Cloaths Indeed the strength of the Scots consisted in their Reputation to be strong reported here by such as Friended them and the Scotch Lyon was not half so fierce as he was
one called Sunday no Sabbath the other the Christian Altar No other way to pacifie the high displeasures of the Bishop of Lincoln but by such a Sacrifice who therefore is intrusted to gather such Propositions out of those two Books as were to be recanted by the one and for which the other was to be depriv'd of all his preferments And in this the Bishop serv'd his own turn and the peoples too his own turn first in the great controversie of the Altar in which he was so great a stickler and in which Pocklington was thought to have provoked him to take that revenge The Peoples turn he serv'd next in the condemning and recanting of some points about the Sabbath though therein he ran cross to his former practice Who had been not long since so far from those Sabbatarian rigors which now he would fain be thought to countenance that he caus'd a Comedy to be acted before him at his house at Budgen not onely on a Sunday in the afternoon but upon such a Sunday also on which he had publickly given sacred Orders both to Priests and Deacons And to this Comedy he invited the Earl of Manchester and divers of the neighbouring Gentry Fuller I was neither an Actor in nor a Spectator of that Comedy The better day the worse deed I recount it amongst none of those his Good works wherewith he abounded Dr. Heylyn Though on this turning of the tide he did not onely cause these Doctors to be condemned for some Opinions which formerly himselfe allowed of but mov'd at the Assembly in Ierusalem-Chamber that all Books should be publickly burnt which had disputed the Morality of the Lords-day-Sabbath Quo teneam nodo c. as the Poet hath it Fuller I have been credibly informed that when in Ierusalem-Chamber Mr. Stephen Marshall urged most vehemently for severe punishment on the Authors of those Books Bishop Williams fell foul on the Books moving they might be burned that their Authors might the better escape Let every one betine his share herein Dr. Heylyn But whereas our Author tells us in the following words that soon after both the Doctors deceased for grief I dare with some confidence tell him there vvas no such matter Dr. Pocklinton living about tvvo years and Dr. Bray above four years after vvith as great chearfulnesse and courage as ever formerly Hovv he hath dealt vvith Dr. Cousen vve shall see more at large hereafter in a place by it selfe the discourse thereof being too long and too full of particulars to come vvithin the compasse of an Animadversion In the mean time proceed we unto Bishop Wren of vvhom thus as followeth Fuller I went to Peterborough on purpose in Quest after Information and saw Dr. Pocklinton's Grave on the same token it was in the Church-yard just in the place where so many Saxons were murdered and Martyred by the Danes and there I heard that he enjoyed not himself after his censure Of Dr. Bray though I could I say nothing and shall return an Answer to Dr. Cosins at the end of this Book Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 182. A Bill saith our Author was sent up by the Commons against Mathew Wren Bishop of Ely containing 25 Articles c. That such a Bill was sent up from the House of Commons is undoubtedly true And no lesse true it is that many Impeachments of like nature were hammered at and about the same time against many other Clergy men of good note though inferiour Order the Articles whereof were Printed and exposed to open saile to their great disparagement And therefore I would faine know the Reason why this Man should be singled out amongst all the rest to stand impeached upon record in our Author's History especially considering that there was nothing done by the Lords in pursuance of it the Impeachment dying in a manner as soon as born Was it because he was more Criminall then the other were or that the charge was better proved or for what Cause else Fuller I will give the Reader a true and fairâ— account thereof Many Clergy men as the Animadvertor observeth being then articled against I thought to insert all would clog my Book with needlesse Numbers as to omit all would be interpreted Partiality and Unfaithfullnesse in an Historian I chose therefore the middle as the safest way to instance in four two Doctors Bray and Pocklinton one Dean I. Cosins and one Bishop Matthew Wren conceiving these a sufficient Representation of all the rest Wherefore I cannot see how the Animadvertor can properly say that Bishop Wren was by me singled out except a QUATERNION be a single Man It was not because his Charge was better which for ought I know was not at all proved but for these Reasons 1. He was one of the first in Time Clamoured against 2. He was one of the highest in Dignity Clamoured against 3. He was one that hath longest been a Sufferer for his un-prosecuted Accusation And here had the Animadvertor been pleased as well to take notice of Flowers and Herbs in my Church-History as what he counteth Weeds therein he might have inserted yea with Justice could not have omitted this following passage Bishop Wren his long imprisonment being never brought into a publick Answer hath converted many of his Adversaries into a more Charitable opinion of him Dr. Heylyn Well since our Author will not I will tell you why he singled out M. Wren amongst all the rest And I will tell it in the words of King Iames in the Conference at Hampton-court upon occasion of a needlesse exception taken by Dr. Reynolds at a passage in Ecclesiasticus What trow ye said the King makes these men so angry with Ecclesiasticus By my Sal I think he was a Bishop or else they would never use him so And so much for that Fuller Whether Ecclesiasticus was a Bishop or no I know not this I know that Ecclesiastes was a Preacher The words of Kings are most proper for the Mouths of Kings and Soveraignes may speak their Pleasure to their Subjects which fit nor fellow-Subjects one to another And so much for that My extraction who was Prebendarius Prebendarides and Relation as the Animadvertor knows to Two no meane Bishops my Uncles may clear me from any Episcopall Antipathy I honour any who is a Bishop both Honour and Love him who is a Religious and Learned Bishop Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 174. About this time was the first motion of a new Protestation to be taken all over England which some months after was generally performed What time this was our Author tells us in the margin pointing to Feb. 4. about which time there was no mention of the Protestation nor occasion for it The first mention which was made of the Protestation was upon Munday May the third on which day it was mentioned fram'd and taken by all the Members of the House of Commons excepting the Lord George Digby now Earl of Bristol and
to the Tower in the end of December they were released by an Order of the House of Peers on the fifteenth of February being the next day after the Bill for taking away their Votes had passed in Parliament But then the Commons looking on them as devested of their Right of Peerage and consequently as they thought in the same rank with themselves return'd them to the Tower again and having kept them there some few weeks long enough to declare their power discharged them upon Bail and so sent them home Fuller A great cry and a little Wool 1. From the end of December to the fifteen of February was seven weekes 2. They continued afterwards there some few weeks as the Animadvertor confesseth Weeks imply two at the least some few denote 4 or 5 in proper sense Lastly some of the Bishops staid there longer than others even for lack of Money to pay their fees If the Reader be pleased to take all these up he will find them fall little short of 18 Weeks And let not the Animadvertor wilfully persist in an error who may know from Bishop Wren that none of them were released before the sixth of May. Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceedeth Fol. 195. About this time the word Malignant was first born as to common use in England and fixed as a note of disgrace on the Kings Party and because one had as good he dumb as not speak with the volge possibly in that sense it may occur in our ensuing History Nothing more possible then that our Author should make use of any word of disgrace with which the Kings party was reproached Fuller The Animadvertor in this Point proves himselfe a Malignant indeed taxing me with so odious and untrue an Aspersion nothing more improbable then that my hand should hurt that Cause which my Heart did Honour in the Writing of my Book Though this Passage be by me premised by way of prevention if the Word Malignant casually fell from my Pen yet such was my Cautiousnesse that very rarely if at all it is used as mine own word Besides the Ingenuous Reader knoweth that the Writers of Civill Dissentions are sometimes necessitated for differencing of Parties to use those Tearmes they do not approve Dr. Heylyn And if he calls them formerly by the name of Royalists and High-Royalists as he sometimes doth it was not because he thought them worthy of no worse a Title but because the name of Malignant had not then been born Fuller Not so For then since the Name MALIGNANT was born I would have used it on them which I do not Those words of the Animadvertor worthy of no WORSE a TITLE intimate as if ROYALIST and HIGH-ROYALIST were BAD TITLES which if not Honourable must be Inoffensive If ROYAL the Primitive be GOOD a ROYAL Law a ROYAL Priest-hood ROYALIST the Derivative cannot be BAD much lesse HIGH-ROYALIST except Height makes that BAD being added thereunto which was GOOD before Dr. Heylyn He cannot chuse but know that the name of Round-head was born at the same time also and that it was as common in the Kings Party to call the Parliamentarians by the name of Round-heads as it was with those of the Parliament Party to call the King's adherents by the name of Malignants And yet I do confidently say that the word Round-head as it was fixed as a note of disgrace on the Parliament party doth not occur on any occasion whatsoever in our Authors History But kissing goes by favour as the saying is and therefore let him favour whom he pleases and kisse where he favoureth Fuller I confesse the name ROUND-HEAD at the same time Trundled about in the Mouths of many men but I conceived it beneath an Historian to make use thereof because his Majesty in all his Proclamations Declarations and other Acts of State never made mention thereof whilst MALIGNANT was often used in Acts of Parliament But if my bare Mention not using of MALIGNANT be so distastfull I will Cut down all the Ill Wood therein to the last Sprig quench all the ill fire therein to the last Spark I meane God willing totally delete that Paragraph in the next Edition Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 196. By this time ten of the eleven Bishops formerly subscribing their Protestation to the Parliament were after some months durance upon good Baile given released c. Of the releasing of these Bishops we have spoke already We are now onely to observe such mistakes and errors as relate unto it And first they were not released at or about the time which our Author speaks of that is to say after such time as the word plunder had begun to be us'd amongst us Plunder both name and thing vvas unknovvn in England till the beginning of the War and the War began not till September An. 1642. which vvas some months after the releasing of the Bishops Fuller I hope novv the Animadvertor is dravving to a Conclusion because an Ague commonly is leaving one vvhen beginning to double its Fits Formerly he found fault but once in four Pages novv four times in one Paragraph Here is nothing Mis-timed in this point the name PLUNDER beginning in England some Months the Practise thereof some Weeks before our War Indeed COMMISSION'D PLUNDER begun with the war but UNCOMMISSION'D PLUNDER vvas before it committed by those vvhose activity onely did Authorise or rather Impower them to take avvay the goods of others Such vvere they that PLUNDERED for I am sure they will not say they ROBBED the House of the Countesse Rivers at Long-Mellford in Suffolk before the University of Cambridge sent their Plaâ—e to the King to York and consequently before the Warr. Dr. Heylyn Secondly he telleth us that ten of the eleven which had subscribed were released whereas there were twelve which had subscrib'd as appears fol. 187. whereof ten were sent unto the Tower and the other two committed to the custody of the Black-Rod fol. 188. And if ten onely were releast the other two must be kept in custody for a longer time whereas we find the Bishop of Norwich at home in his Diocess and the Bishop of Durham at liberty in London they being the two whom he makes so far favour'd by the Parliament as they scap't the Tower Fuller The small numerall fault shall be amended to prevent exceptions in my next Edition Dr. Heylyn Thirdly he telleth us that when all others were releast Bishop Wren was still detain'd in the Tower which is nothing so That Bishop was releast upon Bail when the other were returned unto his Diocesse as the others did and there continued for a time when of a suddain he was snatched from his House at Downham in the Isle of Ely carried to the Tower and there imprisoned never being brought unto a Hearing nor any cause shewed for his imprisonment to this very day Fuller Would it were nothing so indeed Si mea cum vestris valuissent Vota If the Animadvertor's
and Author's Joynt-desires might have taken Effect there had been no difference about this passage in my Book Tuque domo proprià nos Te Praesul Poteremur Thou hadst enjoy'd thy house and we Prelate had enjoyed Thee But alas it is so He is still and still when all other Bishops are released detained in the Tower where I believe he maketh Gods Service his perfect freedom My words as relating to the time when I wrote them containe too much sorrowfull truth therein Dr. Heylyn Fourthly Archbishop Williams after his restoring unto liberty â—ent not into the Kings Quarters as our Author saith but unto one of his own houses in Yorkshire where he continued till the year 1643. and then came to Oxford not that he found the North too cold for him or the War too hot but to solicit for renâ—wing of his Commendam in the Deanry of Westminster the time for which he was to hold it drawing towards an end Fuller Nothing false or faulty The Arch-bishop of York stayed some weeks after his enlargement at Westminster thence he went privately to the house of Sir Thomas Hedley in Huntingon shire and thence to his Palace at Caâ—ood nigh York where he gave the King a magnificent Intertainment King James setled the Deanry of Westminster under the great Seal on Dr. Williams so long as he should continue Bishop of Lincoln Hinc illa Lacrimae hence the great heaving and hussing at Him because He would not resigne it which was so signal a Monument of his Master's favour unto him Being Arch-bishop of York King Charls confirmed his Deanry unto him for three years in lieu of the profits of his Arch-bishoprick which the King had taken Sede vacante So that it is probable enough the renuing that Tearm might be a Joynt-Motive of his going to Oxford But I see nothing which I have written can be cavilled at except because I call Yorkshire the King's Quarters which as yet was the Kings WHOLE when the Arch-bishop first came thither as being a little before the War began though few Weeks after it became the King's Quarters Such a Prolepsis is familiar with the best Historians and in effect is little more then when the Animadvertor calleth the Gag and Appello Caesarem the Books of Bishop Montague who when they were written by him was no though soon after a Bishop Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds fol. 196. Some of the aged Bishops had their tongues so used to the language of a third Estate that more then once they ran on that reputed Rock in their speeches for which they were publickly shent and enjoyned an acknowledgment of their mistake By whom they were so publickly shent and who they were that so ingenuously acknowledged their mistake as my Author telleth us not so neither can I say whether it be true or false Fuller I tell you again It is true The Earl of Essex and the Lord Say were two of the Lords though this be more then I need discover who checked them And of two of those Bishops Dr. Hall late Bishop of Norwich is gone to God and the other is still alive Dr. Heylyn But I must needs say that there was small ingenuity in acknowledging a mistake in that wherein they had not been mistaken or by endeavouring to avoid a reputed Rock to run themselves on a certain Rock even the Rock of Scandall Fuller Their brief and generall acknowledgment that they vvere sorry that they had spoken in this point vvhat had incurred the displeasure of the Temporall Lords was no trespass on their own ingenuity nor had shadovv of scandall to others therein I confess men must not bear fals-witness either against themselves or others nor may they betray their right especially when they have not onely a personall concernment therein but also are in some sort Feoffees in trust for Posterity However vvhen a predominant Power plainly appears which will certainly over-rule their cause against them without scandall they may not to say in Christian prudence they ought to wave the vindication of their priviledges for the present waiting wishing and praying for more moderate and equall times wherein they may assert their right with more advantage to their cause and less danger to their persons Dr. Heylyn For that the English Bishops had their vote in Parliament as a third Estate and not in the capacity of temporal Barons will evidently appear by these reasons following For first the Clergy in all other Christian Kingdoms of these Northwest parts make the third Estate that is to say in the German Empire as appears by Thuanus the Historian lib. 2. In France as is affirmed by Paulus Aemilius lib. 9. In Spain as testifieth Bodinus in his De Repub. lib. 3. For which consult also to the Generall History of Spain as in point of practise lib. 9 10 11 14. In Hungary as witnesseth Bonfinius Dec. 2. l. 1. In Poland as is verified by Thunus also lib. 56. In Denmark as Pontanus telleth us in Historia rerum Danicarum l. 7. The Swedes observing antiently the same form and order of Government as was us'd by the Danes The like we find in Camden for the Realm of Scotland in which antiently the Lords Spirituall viz. Bishops Abbots Priors made the third Estate And certainly it were very strange if the Bishops and other Prelates in the Realm of England being a great and powerfull body should move in a lower Sphere in England then they do elsewhere But secondly not to stand onely upon probable inferences we find first in the History of Titus Livius touching the Reign and Acts of King Henry the fifth that when his Funerals were ended the three Estates of the Realm of England did assemble togeâ—her and declared his Son King Henry the sixth being an Infant of eight months old to be their Soveraign Lord as his Heir and Successor And if the Lords Spirituall did not then make the third Estate I would know who did Secondly the Petition tendred to Richard Duke of Glocester to accept the Crown occurring in the Parliament Rolls runs in the name of the three Estates of the Realm that is to say The Lords Spirituall and Temporall and the Commons thereof Thirdly in the first Parliament of the said Richard lately Crowned King it is said expresly that at the request and by the consent of the three Estates of this Realm that is to say the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons of this Land assembled in this present Parliament and by Authority of the same it be pronounced decreed and declared That our said Soveraign Lord the King was and is the very and undoubted King of this Realm of England c. Fourthly it is acknowledged so in the Statute of 1 Eliz. cap. 3. where the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and the Commons in that Parliament assembled being said expresly and in terminis to represent the three Estates of this Realm of England did recognize the Queens Majesty to be their true
lawfull and undoubted Soveraign Liege Lady and Queen Add unto these the Testimony of Sir Edward Cook though a private person who in his Book of the Jurisdiction of Courts published by order of the long Parliament chap. 1. doth exprâ—sly say That the Parliament consists of the Head and Body that the Head is the King that the Body are the three Estates viz. the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons In which words we have not onely the opinion and testimony of that learned Lawyer but the Authority of the long Parliament also though against it selfe Those aged Bishops had been but little studied in their owne concernments and betray'd their Rights if any of them did acknowledge any such mistake in challenging to themselves the name and priviledges of the third Estate Fuller In this long discourse the Animadvertor hath given in the severall Particulars whereof I in my Church-History gave the Totall summe when saying that there were passages in the old Statutes which did countenance the Bishops sitting in Parliament in the Capacity of a THIRD ESTATE I have nothing to returne in Opposition and heartily wish that his Arguments to use the Sea-man's phrase may prove stanche and tight to hold water when some Common-Lawyer shall examine them But seeing the Animadvertor hath with his commendable paines goâ— so farre in this point I could wish he had gon a little further even to answer the two Common Objections against the THIRD-ESTATE SHIP of Bishops The First is this The Bishop not to speak of Bishops Suffragan of the Isle of Man is a Bishop for all purposes and intents of Jurisdiction and ordination yet hath he no place in Parliament because not holding per In egram Baroniam by an Intire Barony Now if Bishops sat in Parliament as a THIRD-ESTATE and not as so many Barons why hath not the Bishop of Man being in the Province of York a place in Parliament as well as the rest Secondly If the Bishops sit as a THIRD-ESTATE then Statutes made without them are manâ— and defective which in law will not be allowed seeing there were some Sessions of Parliament wherein Statutes did passe Excluso Clero at least wise Absente Clero which notwithstanding are acknowledged Obligatory to our Nation I also request him when his Hand is in to satisfie the Objection taken from a passage in the Parliament at Northampton under Henry the Second when the Bishops challenged their Peerage viz. Non sedemus hîc Episcopi sed Barones Nos Barones vos Barones Pares hîc sumus We sit not here as Bishops but as Barons We are Barons You are Barons here we are peers which is much inforced by Anti-Episcopists And whereas the Animadvertor translated it not as Bishops onely it is more then questionable that this interpolation ONLY will not be admitted by such who have a mind curiously to examine the matter I protest my integrity herein that I have not started these Objections of my selfe having had them urged against me and though I can give a bungling Answer unto them I desire that the Animadvertor being better skill'd in Law would be pleased if it ever comes again in his way to returne an Answer as short and clear as the Objections are and I and many more will be bound to returne him thanks Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 196. The Conâ—ocation now not sitting and matters of Religion being brought under the cognizance of the Parliament their Wisdoms adjudged it not onely convenient but necessary that some prime Clergy men might be consulted with It seems then that the setting up of the new Assembly consisting of certain Lords and Gentlemen and two or more Divines out of every County must be ascrib'd to the not sitting of the Convocation Whereas if that had been the reason the Convocation should have been first warned to re-assemble with liberty and safe conducts given them c. Fuller The Animadvertor now enters the list with the WISDOMS in Parliament who are most able to justifie their owne Act. Mean time my folly may stand by in silence unconcerned to return any Answer Dr. Heylyn Fol. 198. It savours something oâ— a Prelaticall Spirit to be offended about Precedency I see our Author is no Changeling Primus ad extremum similis sibi the very same at last as he was at the first Certainly if it savour of a Prelaticall Spirit to contend about Precedencies that Spirit by some â—ythagorean Metempsychosis hath passed into the bodies of the Presbyterians whose pride had swell'd them in conceit above Kings and Princes and thus cometh home to our Author c. Fuller If it cometh home unto me I will endeavour God-willing to thrust it far from me by avoiding the odious sin of Pride And I hope the Presbyterians will herein make a reall and practicall refutation of this note in Evidencing more Humility hereafter seasonably remembring they are grafted on the Stock of the Bishops and are concerned not to be high-minded but feare lest if God spared not Episcopacy for what sins I am not to enquire peaceably possessed above a Thousand years of Power in the Church of England take heed that he spare not Presbytery also which is but a Probationer on its good behaviour especially if by their insolence they offend God and disoblige our Nation the generality whereof is not over-fond of their Goâ—ernment Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 203. We listen not to their fancy who have reckoned the words in the Covenant six hundred sixty six c. I must confesse my selfe not to be so much a Pythagorean as to find Divinity in Numbers nor am taken with such Mysteries as some fancy in them And yet I cannot chuse but say that the Number of Six hundred sixty six words neither more nor less which are found in the Covenant though they conclude nothing yet they signifie something Our Author cannot chuse but know what pains were taken even in the times of Irenaeus to find out Antichrist by this number Some thinking then that they had found it in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 with reference to the persecuting Roman Emperours Some Protestants think that they had found it in a Dedication to Pope Paul the fifth which was Paulo V to Vice-Deo the numerall letters whereof that is to say D.C.L.V.V.V.I. amount exactly unto six hundred sixty six which is the Number of the Beast in Revelation The Papists on the other side find it in the name of Luther but in what language or how speld I remember not And therefore whosoever he was which made this Observation upon the Covenant he deserves more to be commended for his wit then condemned for his idlenesse Fuller The Animadvertor might herein have allowed me the Liberty of Preterition a familiar figure in all Authors managed by them with Taceo praetermitto transeo we passe by listen not c. when relating things Either Parva of small moment Nota generally known Ingrata unwelcome to many Readers Under which of
Bill of Charges the Church paid the reckoning the Dominican Fryer who translated it being rewarded with a Benefice and a good Prebend as the Bishop himselfe did signifie by letter to the Duke of Buckingham Fuller I have been credibly informed by those who have best cause to know it That it was done not onely by his procurement but at his Cost Though I deny not but that a benefice might be conferred on the Fryer in reward of his paines Thus far I am assured by such as saw it That the Bishop who had more skill in the Spanish then his policy would publiquely own did with his owne hand correct every sheet therein Dr. Heylyn And as for the printing of the book I cannot think that it was at his charges neither but at the charges of the Printer it not being usuall to give the Printer money and the copy too Fuller The Animadvertor so well practised in printing knowes full well That though i◠be usuall to give Money and Copies too for a saleable book which being Printed in our owne tongue is every mans Money yet a Spanish Book printed in England is chargeable meeting with few buyers because few understanders thereof Dr. Heylyn And Thirdly Taking it for granted that the Liturgy was translated and printed at this Bishop's charges yet does not this prove him to be so great an honourer of it as our Author makes him For had he been indeed a true honourer of the English Liturgy he would have been a more diligent attendant on it than he shewed himself never repairing to the Church at Westminster whereof he was Dean from the 18. of February 1635. when the businesse of the great Pew was judged against him till his Commitment to the Tower in Iuly 1637. Fuller One reason why he seldome came to Prayers to Westminster Church was because he was permitted but little to live there after he fell into the King's displeasure being often sent away the day after he came thither On the same token that once Sr. Iohn Cook being sent unto him to command him to avoid the Deanery Mr. Secretary said the Bishop what Authority have you to command a Man out of his owne House Which wrought so much on the old Knight that he was not quiet till he had gotten his owne pardon Dr. Heylyn Nor ever going to the Chappell of the Tower where he was a Prisoner to attend the Divine Service of the Church or receive the Sacrament from Iuly 1637. when he was committed to November 1640. when he was enlarged A very strong Argument that he was no such Honourer of the English Liturgy as is here pretended A Liturgy most highly esteemed in all places wheresoever it came and never so much vilified despis'd condemn'd as amongst our selves and those amongst our selves who did so vilifie and despise it by none more countenanced then by him who is here said to be so great an Honourer o◠it Fuller Though for reasons best known to himselfe he went not to Prayers in the Tower Chappell yet was he his own Chaplain to read them in his own Chamber And let me add this memorable passage thereunto During his durance in the Tower there was a Kinsman of Sr. William Balforés then Lieutenant a Scotish man and his name Mr. Melvin too who being mortally sick sent for Bishop Williams to pray with him The Bishop read to him the Visitation of the sick having fore-acquainted this dying man That there was a form of Absolution in this Prayer if he thought fit to receive it Wherewith Mr. Melvin was not onely well satisfied but got himselfe up as well as he could on his knees in the bed and in that posture received Absolution Dr Heylyn But for this Blow our Author hath his Buckler ready telling us Ibid. Not out of Sympathy to Non-conformists but Antipathy to Arch-bishop Laud he was favourable to some select Persons of that Opinion An Action somewhat like to that of the Earl of Kildare who being accused before Henry the Eighth for burning the Cathedrall Church of Cassiles in Ireland profess'd ingeniously That he would never have burnt the Church if some body had not told him that the Bishop was in it Hate to that Bishop an Arch-Bishop of Ireland incited that mad Earl to burn his Cathedrall Church And hate to Bishop Laud the Primate and Metropolitan of all England stir'd up this Bishop to raise a more unquenchable Combustion in the Church of England So that we may affirm of him as Tertullian in another case of the Primitive Christians viz. Tanti non est bonum quanti est odium Christianorum But are we sure that he was favourable to the Non-Conformists out of an antipathy to Bishop Laud onely I believe not so His antipathy to the King did as strongly byass him that way as any thing else For which I have the Testimony of the Author of the History of King Charls publisht 1656. who telleth us of him That being malevolently inclin'd about the losse of the great Seal c. Fuller I will not advocate for all the actions of Bishop Williams and though the Animadvertor beholds my pen as over-partiall unto him yet I know who it was that wrote unto me Semper es iniquior in Archiepiscopum Eboracensem I am a true honourer of his many excellent virtues and no excuser of his Faults who could heartily wish That the latter part of his Life had been like the beginning thereof Dr. Heylyn And so I take my leave of this great Prelate whom I both reverence for his Place and honour for his Parts as much as any And yet I cannot choose but say that I find more reason to condemn then there is to commend him so that we may affirm of him as the Historian doth of Cajus Caesar Son of Agrippa and Nephew to the great Augustus viz. Tam variè se gessit ut nec laudaturum magna nec vituperaturum mediocris materia deficiat as my Author hath it And with the same Character accommodated to our Author and this present History I conclude these Notes subjoyning onely this old Saying as well for my comfort as defence viz. Truth though it may be blam'd can never be sham'd Fuller Here the Animadvertor doth Tickle and Pinch me both together yet neither will I laugh nor cry but keep my former composure I will take no notice of a piece of MEZENTISM in his joyning of the Dead and Living together and conceive my selfe far unworthy to be parallel'd in the least degree with his Eminences However I will endeavour with the Gladiators 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 honestè decumbere that when I can fight no longer I may fall handsomely in the Scene of this Life May God who gave it have the glory of what is good in me my selfe the shame of what is bad which I ought to labour to amend To the Reverend and his Worthy Friend Dr. Iohn Cosin Dean of Peter-burgh SIR You may be pleased to remember

Otherwise had it been as our Author tells us the punishment must have preceded the offence and he must suffer for a Book which was not publisht at that time and perhaps not written But our Author hath a speciall faculty in this kind which few Writers have Fuller The Animadvertor hath a speciall faculty in cavilling without cause My Clock of time strikes true enough but that he is minded not to tell it aright My words are Some three years since which word SOME soundeth an interpretative plùs minus to all ingenuous Ears Besides this is our opposite marginall Note containing the contents of that Paragraph Mr. Prin accused for Libelling against Bishops which accusation was about two years before this his last Censure during which time he was imprisoned And my SOME three years are to bear date in the construction of any impartiall Reader from that his accusation and then nothing is mis-timed but falleth out in due season And now Reader judge where the many errors be into which I have run in the story of Mr. Prin and his sufferings seeing no one mistake can be produced and proved against me And seeing the first Book of Mr. Prin was â—ound in it self in my opinion and his last Books more moderate even in the judgment of the Animadvertor and his midling Books how faulty soever such for which he hath severally suffered let us even take a fair farewell of Mr. Prin and his Books and so proceed Dr. Heylyn Now as our Author post-dateth his Histrio-Mâ—stix by making it come into the world two years after it did so he ante-dates a Book of Dr. White then Lord Bishop of Ely which he makes to be publisht two years sooner then indeed it was That Book of his entituled A Treatise of the Sabbath came not out till Michaelmas Anno 1635. though placed by our Author as then written Anno 1633. for which see fol. 144. Fuller In answer hereunto May the Reader be pleased to take notice of these particulars 1. The revived controversie Lords-Day lasted ten years bandied with books from 1628. till 1638. 2. I was loath to scatter my Book with it but resolved on one intire Narrative thereof 3. I fixed on the yeare 1633. therein to insert the same because the middle Number from the rising to the sinking of the difference then came to the very heat and height thereof 4. Hence my Narrative retreated some years back to 1628. when Bradborn began the difference 5. Hence also it sallied forth to the year 1635. when Bishop White 's book was set forth and beyond it 6. The date of the yeare 1633. stands still unmoveable on my Margin the whole Relation being for the reasons aforesaid entered under it So that nothing is offered to the Reader unjoynted in Time if I be but rightly understood Dr. Heylyn Next unto Mr. Prinne in the course of his Censure comes the Bishop of Liâ—coln the cause whereof we have in our Author who having left a blank fol. 156. for somewhat which he thinks not fit to make known to all gives some occasion to suspect that the matter was far worse on the Bishops side than perhaps it was And therefore to prevent all further misconstructions in this businesse I will lay down the story as I find it thus viz. The Bishop's purgation depending chiefly upon the testimony of one Prideon it happened that the February after one Elizabeth Hodson was delivered of a base child and laid to this Prideon The Bishop finding his great Witness charged with such a load of filth and infamy conceived it would invalidate all his testimony and that once rendred invalid the Bishop could easily prognosticate his own ruine therefore he bestirs himself amain And though by order of the Justices at the publick Sessions at Lincoln Prideon was charged as the reputed father the Bishop by his two Agents Powel and Owen procured that Order to be suppressed and by subornation and menacing of and tampering with Witnesses at length in May 10 Car. procured the child to be fathered upon one Boon and Prideon acquit Which lewd practises for the supportation of his favourite's credit cost the Bishop as he confest to Sir Iohn Munson and others twelve hundred pounds so much directly and by consequence much more Fuller I have concealed nothing herein of Moment the Blank being insignificant and the mere mistake of the Printer and expect no considerable addition from the Animadvertor having in my Book truly and clearly stated the Bishops Cause from the best Records I appeal to the unpartiall Perusers of what I wrote whether by this Note any thing of moment is added to the matter in hand except the naming of a light houswife which I conceived beneath my History the rest being truly by me related before Dr. Heylyn But to proceed the cause being brought unto a censure fol. 157. Secretary Windebank motioned to degrade him which saith he was lustily pronounced by a Knight and a Lay-man having no precedent for the same in former Ages But first it is not very certain that any such thing was moved by Sir Francis Windebank A manuscript of that daies proceedings I have often seen containing the Decree and Sentence with the substance of every Speech then made and amongst others that of Sir Francis Windebank in which I find no motion tending to a Degradation nor any other punishment inflicted on him than Fine Suspension and Imprisonment in which the residue of the Lords concurred as we find in our Author Fuller It is very certain he moved it and I avow it from honourable Eyes and Ears The Animadvertor misguides the reference of those my words having no precedent for the same in former Ages making them relate to the Bishop's Degradation whereof one precedent since the Reformation Unus homo nobis which indeed refer to the Knight's and Lay-man's first mentioning thereof which is unprecedented I am sure that such a person should FIRST make such a motion against a Bishop I confess at Bp. Midleton's Degradation some of the Lay-Privy-Counsellors were present but acted little therein so far from FIRST mentioning of it onely concurring with the Court the matter being chiefly managed by Arch-bishop Whitgift and some other Bishops and Deans the Commissioners as most proper
persons to pass such a censure on one of their own profession Dr. Heylyn Secondly it had been more strange if the Knight had not been a Lay-man the Church of England not acknowledging any Order of Spirituall Knighthood Knights in Divinity are greater strangers in this Land then Lay-Divines these last being multiplied of late even ad infinitum the first never heard of Fuller The Pleonasm of the addition of Lay-man to Knight is not so culpable in it self but that it might have passed without censure and let not the Animadvertor be over-confident herein I have been credibly informed that Sir Miles Sandys third son to Edwin Arch-bishop of York Fellow of Peter-house in Cambridge and Proctor of the University Anno 1588. was made a Deacon and so no meer Lay-man and in his younger years a Prebendary of York Within this twenty years there was one Mr. Seaton beneficed in Hartfordshire a Scotish-man and at this day a Knight But the matter being of no more moment let us proceed Dr. Heylyn And thirdly had it been so mov'd and so lustily mov'd as our Author makes it the Knight and Lay-man might have found a precedent for it in former ages Which last clause is to be understood as I suppose with reference to the times since the Reformation For in the former times many precedents of like nature might be easily found And being understood of the times since the Reformation it is not so infallibly true but that one precedent of it at the least may be found amongst us Marmaduke Middleton advanced to the Bishoprick of Sr. Davids Anno 1567. after he had sat in that See three and twenty years was finally condemned for many notable misdemeanors not onely to be deprived of his Bishoprick but degraded from all holy Orders Which sentence was accordingly executed by and before the High-Commissioners at Lambeth-house not only by reading of it in Scriptis but by a formal divesting of him of his Episcopall Robes and Priestly Vestments as I have heard by a person of good credit who was present at it And somewhat there is further in the story of this Marmaduke Middleton which concerns the Bishop now before us of whom our Author telleth us further That being prest by two Bishops and three Doctors to answer upon Oath to certain Articles which were tendred to him in the Tower he utterly refused to do it claiming the priviledge of a Peer fol. 159. Which plea was also made by the said Bishop of St. Davids offering to give in his Answer to such Articles as were fram'd against him on his Honour onely but refusing to do it on his Oath Which case being brought before the Lords then sitting in Parliament was ruled against him it being ordered that he should answer upon Oath as in fine he did To this Bishop let us joyn his Chaplain Mr. Osbolstone who being engag'd in the same Bark with his Patron suffered shipwrack also though not at the same time nor on the same occasion Censured in Star-Chamber not onely to lose his Ecclesiasticall Promotions but to corporall punishments Fuller In my weak judgment the Animadvertor had better have omitted this passage of this Bishop's Degradation in this juncture of time where in the repute of that Function runs very low and their adversaries too ready to take all advantage to disgrace it The rather because Bishop Godwin taketh no notice at all thereof but beginneth continueth and concludeth the life and death of this Bishop in lesse then two lines Marmaduke Middleton translated from Ireland died Novemb. 30th 1592. Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceedeth fol. 166. But this last personall penalty he escaped by going beyond Canterbury conceived seasonably gone beyond the Seas whilst he secretly concealed himself in London And he had scap't the last penalty had he staid at home For though Mr. Osbolston at that time conceived the Archbishop to be his greatest enemy yet the Archbishop was resolved to shew himselfe his greatest friend assuring the Author of these Papers before any thing was known of Mr. Osbolstons supposed flight that he would cast himselfe at the Kings feet for obtaining a discharge of that corporal punishment unto which he was sentenced Which may obtain the greater credit First in regard that no course was taken to stop his flight no search made after him nor any thing done in Order to his apprehension And secondly by Mr. Osbolstons readinesse to do the Archbishop all good Offices in the time of his troubles upon the knowledge which was given him at his coming back of such good Intentions But of these private men enough passe we now to the publick Fuller Whether or no he was sought after I know not this I know he was not taken and more do commend his warinesse in his flight than would have praised his valour for staying in hope his Punishment should be remitted It had been most Mercy to stop the denouncing but was a good after-game of pitty to stay the inflicting of so cruell a censure on a Clergyman As the Animadvertor then had the Credit to know so the Author now hath the Charity to believe the Arch-Bishops good resolution However I cannot forget that when the Sentence in the Star-Chamber passed on Bishop Williams where he concurred with the highest in his Fine He publickly professed that He had fallen five times down on his knees before the King in the Bishop's behalf but to no purpose It might be therefore suspected that his intention to do it once for Mr. Osbolston might not have taken effect And therefore had the Arch-Bishop's good resolution been known unto him Mr. Osbolston might most advisedly conceale himselfe Lib.
