S CIRILLVS ALEXAND THis eminent Father of the Church was Bishop of Alexandria a Grecian by Nation famous for his actions done in the Church As for his parentage no doubt but that also was in some sort suitable to his breeding for Theophilus the late Archbishop of Alexandria was his owne Uncle whom also hee succeeded in that See but not without opposition Some stood for one Timothy then Archdeacon of Alexandria others came in for this Cyrill partly because of his neere alliance to this former Archbishop who they esteemed highly and reverenced for his sanctitie and holinesse of life but chiefly because this Cyrill was a generall Scholer and one well qualified with all temporall vertues much adoe there was on both sides yet at three days end this good man obtained it and was conducted to the Episcopall Chaire with greater state than ever any Bishop that was at Alexandria He was vir doctus sanctus a learned and a holy man of life by Pope Celestines injunction he ●ate President in the Councell at Ephesus amongst two hundred Bishops in which with a great deal of learning and judgement hee absolutely confuted and condemned those two arch disturbers of the Churches peace Nestorius and Pelagius hee was admirably experienced in the holy Scriptures he flourished chiefly under the raigne of Theodosius the yonger ●̄ one gives him this faire Encomium Nestorii omnia occulta venena refellit he discovered all the secret poison of Nestorius There are some who have related that hee was a Monk a Carmelite as Tritenhem but Baronius the Cardinall doth absolutely hold that to be a ridiculous opinion for these are Baronins his own words Facessat igitur ejusmodi fabella de Mo●achismo Cyrilli in Carmelo that fained fable of Cyrillus being a Monke of Mount Carmel falls to the ground and indeed it is strange that St. Hierome Palladius Euagrius Cassianus Theodoret with others that often mention the Monks that liv'd in Palaestine at that time yet not so much as once remember this great Father of the Church and indeed I doe much wonder that the Great Cardinall Baronius would condemne that Tenet if there had been but probabilitie of truth in it it making for their cause But to proceed this famous Cyrill was so admired for his singular piety eloquence and wit that Gennadius reports that the Grecian Bishops got some of his Homilies by heart and so recited them to the people with wonderfull delight and approbation and truly besides many other things which are reported of him to his praise let this also be one that Iohn the third King of Sweden gives him when as hee was sent into England by his brother Ericus then King When the Commentaries of Saint Cyrill upon the holy Gospell of Saint Iohn were delivered to his hands and hee had read them hee plainly and ingenuously confest that many new Writers had much swayed him but

as occasion served How full of Hospitality was he to strangers How humble how cheerfull and how liberall not onely refreshing their bodies but comforting likewise their soules with spirituall directions Did not all men knowing his excellencies send in reliefe to the Brethren either by shipping out of England or by Wills of men dying still was this Monastery supplyed There did likewise belong faire revenues to this Abby out of England to bring in which to the Cloyster this Anselmus came over in the first yeare that he was ordained Abbot and not onely for that reason but also to see and speak with Lanfrancus who was from being an Abbot preferred to the Arch-bishopricke of Canterbury Whither when Anselmus was come with what a confluence of all sorts of people was hee entertained at Canterbury so there was Discourse had betwixt Lanfranck and himself and this is said of them both to their commendations Non erat ullus eo tempore qui aut Lanfranco authoritate vel multiplici rerum scientiâ aut Anselmo praestaret in Sanctitate vel Dei sapientiâ that is There was none at that time that did exceede Lanfranck in authority and variety of knowledge nor Anselme in holinesse nor heavenly wisedome He proceeds now to effect that for which hee came and takes an account of all the meanes which did belong to their Monastery but it is to be wondred at with what expressions of joy and love was he every where entertained what grave Counsells and directions hee gave to all sorts of people especially to the Clergy there was not a Lord or a Lady in England at that time but did strive to expresse their loves to him by presenting him with rich presents nay William the Conquerour though otherwise sterne and rigid yet how did hee expresse his love to this great man So having beene joyfully received of all sorts in England he intends his journey for his Monastery againe having gained large meanes for his fellowes But now the Conquerour dying and leaving his sonne William King of England Lanfranck also the Arch-bishop being dead this William began fearfully to waste the Churches throughout England which Anselme having with griefe heard of did he not at the solicitation of Hugh Earle of Chester and other Nobles come againe into England and comming to the Court did hee not modestly and divinely tell the King what wrongs he had done and how such things would draw downe Gods heavy judgements upon him and his posterity but the King was for the present unflexible so this Anselme went to this Hugh Earle of Chester but the King falling sicke all men cryed up this Anselmes fame and that hee was the onely man to bee Arch-bishop of Canterbury By the Kings authority and the whole Kingdomes love he was consecrated the first Sunday in Lent in the yeare of Grace 1093. But he found this place at that time to bee full of troubles and cares yet he being sent for to Court did meekly beseech the King to cease from afflicting the Churches did not this man performe his charge with patience industry and with expressions of learning and fidelity he was not any wayes addicted to pride not ensnared with covetousnesse neither was he tainted with idlenesse He committed the administration of his houshold affaires to one Baldwine Hee did mainly lament the abuse that was offered to the Church by prophane covetous men who took the meanes of them into their owne possession The King return'd from forraine parts Anselmus humbly intreats of his Majesty that hee might have licence to go to Rome but at this the King was incensed and told him there should no Pope have any Authority over his subjects nor any power within his dominions hereupon there was a generall meeting of all the Bishops and Lords at Rothingam to decide this Here most to gaine the Kings favour were directly against this Arch-bishop onely the Bishop of Rochester stood with him But the King was so vexed that he told him he would not hold him as an Arch-bishop unlesse forthwith he would deny the Popes authority and again at Winchester desiring of the King the same thing the King told him that hee should never have that liberty nor any other if he did persist in that minde So Baldwine was driven out of England and Anselmes servants misused and his lands alienated and hee himselfe derided and hated yet in the depth of this storme hee retained his piety and said that of our Saviour By patience possesse your soules at last he was forced by secret meanes to flye and so came to a place called Whitsands and so to Saint Bertine being glad that hee was out of England but then the King hearing presently ceized upon all his lands and goods and so Anselme came to Lions and was kindly entertained by the Arch-bishop of that place and so being weake in body and unfit to travaile to Rome hee sent his cause thither but stay'd in Lions till they returned They comming backe told him all excuses laid aside hee must himselfe goe in person to Rome So they came to Secusium and presented themselves to the Abbat of that place there were three of them Anselmus and Baldwine and Edinerus which writ this his life So after much travaile and danger we came to Rome and it was bruted abroad of this Fathers approach and all men desired to see him but it being extreame hot in the City of Rome this Anselme lived in a Village seated pleasantly called Schlavia a great deale of time was spent in deliberating for the Churches good but it was thought safest for Anselme not to returne into England while William lived neither did he but his successor Henry came into Normandy hearing that Anselme was there and did reinvest him into all his state and honours againe and he came into England and was entertained with great reverence of all the Lords of the Kingdome and the love of all the Common people So King Henry was very glad that hee had gained the peace of Anselme but hee was even spent with age labour and watching for age brings to us experience in one hand and death in the other and so did not live long after his return but with a great expression of holinesse and comfort did commend his spirit to God Time deales with man Arithmetically First he addes to beauty multiplies his graces and then he subtracts all these and makes a long lasting division between him and Nature And now he is dead it is high time to cover this sweet and heavenly Father with his first mother the Earth who being honourably attended to the grave with the Rose and the Violet is laid to sleepe in the bosome of the earth and shall enjoy though not so suddenly yet as certaine a Spring as they and which is more an everlasting one His Sayings S. Anselm de Malitia foeditate peccati Cap. 190. Saint Anselme was wont to say that if hee should see the shame of sinne on
