if hee did not harrow Hell Where thou sayest Mr. Young had onely the dealing with Thakwel the Popish Printer without his graces privity thou lyest in thy throat M. Young himselfe brought him to his grace who ordered the matter as it is set downe in my Pistle But did not I say truly of thee that thou canst cog face and lye as fast as a dog can trot and that thou hast a right seasoned wainscoate face of ti nowne chwarnt tee ti vorehead zaze hard as horne Concerning Waldegrave it s no matter how you deale with him heez a foolish fellow to suffer you to spoyle his presse and letters an a had bin my worships Printer I de a kept him from your clouches And yet it is pitty to belye the Divell and therefore you shall not belye him and goe scotfree As for the presse that Waldegrave sold hee did is by order viz. He sold it to an allowed Printer I.C. one his owne company with the knowledge of his Warden Henry Denham c. And call you this favour in releasing him after long imprisonment But I will give you a president of great favour indeed wherein you may see what an ungratefull fellow Waldegrave is to his grace who hath bin so good unto him frō time to time There being a controversie betweene another Printer and Waldegrave all matters of Printing being committed by the Lords of the Counsell to his grace Waldegrave made one of his Company his friend who could do much with his grace to deale for him who brake the matter to his worship being at Croydon in his Orchard so soone as the party named Waldegrave he sweetely answered him saying if is had bin any of the company save him he would have granted the suite but in no case to Waldegrave Well Waldegrave obtained the K. H Lord Treasurers Letter in his behalfe to his grace who when he had read it said J will answer my Lord Treasurer with that Waldegrave intreated for his favourable Letter to the Wardens of his Company which in the end through D. Coosins hee obtained though late yet want home at night thinking to deliver it in the Morning but before he was ready the Wardens were with him and arrested him with a Pursivant upon his graces Commandement Waldegrave telling them there was a letter from his grace which hee receiued late the last night at Croydon who answered they knew it well enough but this is his pleasure now so they carryed Waldegrave to prison and in this his Grace was so good unto him as to helpe him with an hundred marks over the shoulders If this be your favour God keepe mee from you ka M. Marprelate Bishops have justly received according to their deserts having found greater favour at my Worships hands then ever they deserved being notorious disobedient and godlesse persons unthrifty spenders and consumers of the fruits not of their owne labors as you say Waldegrave was but of the possessions of the Church persons that have violated their faith to God his Church his Majesty and this whole Kingdome and wittingly bring us all without the great mercy of God to our undoing so that our wives children servants have cause to curse all L. Bp. Lo T. C. you see that I have a good gift in imitation and me thinkes I have brought your words into a marvellous good sense where as before in the cause of Waldegrve they were illfavouredly wrested and as for his wife and children they have just cause to curse Iohn of London and Iohn of Canterbury for their tyrannizing over him by imprisoning and spoiling his goods and vexing his poore wife and children with continuall rifeling his house with their Pursivants who in November last violently rusht into his house breaking through the maine wall thereof after midnight taking away his goods for some of the Pursivants sold his bookes vp and downe the streets to Watchmen and others Ah you Antichristian Prelates when will you make an end of defending your tyranny by the bloud and rapine of his Majesties subjects You have bin the consumers of the fruits of Wal. degraves labours for have you not sent him so often to prison that it seemed you made a common occupation thereof For assoone as any booke is printed in the defence of Christs holy Discipline or for the detecting of your Antichristian dealings but your ravening pursivants flye city and country to seeke for Waldegrave as though he were bound by statute unto you either to make known who printed seditious bookes against my L. Face or to goe to prison himselfe and threatned with the racke And are you not ashamed to say that he ever violated his Faith you know well enough that he is neither Archb. nor L.B. The case thus stood after he had remained a long time in Prison not that time when Hartwell his graces secretary wisht that his grace might never eat bit of bread after hee released him Nor at that time when you profane T. C. told him that all Puritans had tryterous hearts Nor at that time Waldegrave told her grace that hee was worse then Boner in regard of the time Nor that time when hee was strangely released by one of the Lord of good Londons Swans Neither was it at that time when his grace good conscionable Noble man violated his promise in that he told the Wardens of the Stationers that if Waldegrave would come quietly to him and cease printing of seditious bookes he would pardon what was past and the Wardens promised his wife that if he were committed they would lye at his graces gate till he were released and for all this yet hee was committed to the white Lyon where he lay 6 weeks Nor it was not at that time when his grace allowed Watson the Pursivant to take of Waldegrave 13 s. 4 pence for carrying of him to the white Lyon But it was that time when his grace kept him 20 weekes together in the white Lyon for printing the complaint of the Comminalty the practise of Prelates a learned mans judgment c. Meanes being used for his liberty his friend who was bound for him told him his liberty was obtained in manner following You must be bound faith he in a 100 pounds to print no more bookes hereafter but such as shall be authorized by her Majesty or his grace or such as were before lawfully authorized whereunto he answered that it was not possible for him to containe himselfe within the compasse of that bond Whereby it may appeare be swore not to his friend neither should his consent ever goe to the same the same will D. Coosins witnesse that maidenly Doctor who sits cheeke by joll with you if he will speake a truth which words Waldegrave uttered to him going in the old Pallas at Westminster with his Keeper before hee was released yet hee would gladly have his liberty if he might lawfully For said he I being a poore workman to my company cannot possibly observe
