ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΩΣΙΣ ΤΗΣ Αληθειασ TRVTH ASSERTED BY THE DOCTRINE AND Practice of the Apostles seconded by the Testimony of Synods Fathers and Doctors from the Apostles to this Day Viz. That Episcopacie is Iure Divino BY Sir Francis VVortley Knight and Baronet LONDON Printed by A. N. for I. K. and T. W. and are to be sold at the White Horse in PAVLES Church-yard 1641. To the most High and Illustrious Charles Prince of GREAT BRITAIN SIR YOu set back the Clock of my age and make it day-spring when it is past the mid noone of my life I court my fancy in my observations of you My first Love my first Master your Vnkle Prince Henry whose name is and ever must bee sacred to Mars and the Muses whose memory is still precious to the World justly was the Rivall and Competitour to Honour with your glorious Grandsier Henry the Great of France the greatest In you deare Sir I finde the Character of them both as if you were sole heire to both and it joyes my Soule to see it I had the Honour to gird the first sword about you with this wish that you might use it in peace like our Northern Solomon King Iames and drawn as that Boanerges the sonne of Thunder the glory of France your Grandfather When your Father whose goodnesse makes him glorious shall be gathered to his Fathers his Titles must as your Birthright descend on you amongst the rest that which is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Defender of the faith This as it is well worthy observation was given by him who they say could not erre in Cathedra plenario Consistorio pleno Concilio to him who as some of his Successors say even in that gave him the lye who gave him the title t is true t was an unkind requitall but there was Digitus Dei in it for it was like the selling of Ioseph into Egypt faelix scelus in eventu guided by that hand which cannot erre It was a worke of great and high daring a voyage wherein many of his Predecessours had suffered shipwracke and Sir Walter Rawleigh observes the worke suited the man and the man was made for the work as Nebuchadonezar was for Tyre Sure it is strange that out of the ruines of good workes faith should spring disorder set all the Church in order Sed Deus est qui fecit est mirum in occulis nostris Sir the Title is the most glorious your Royall father hath and his Second is that he is the best Friend living It was a promise of the Prophets that Kings should bee Nursing Fathers and Queenes Nursing Mothers to the Church And believe mee Sir the words are Emphaticall for the Fathers wisdome and power should provide for the childe ad extra the mothers care ad intra The fathers is and should be protegendo instruendo promovendo corrigendo The mothers in her Oeconomicks pro victu amictu Necessaries and Decency and all with a Nurses affection And I am so much Irish that as they love the Children the Nurse and the Children their Nurses and foster brothers as much or more then their own such mutuall love wish I betwixt the Prince and the Church and as that habit is acquired partly and partly infused So may God infuse that into your heart and by many mutuall reciprocall actions may it become habituall So shall the Church be happie in future and you shall be glorious in your timely reigne and blessed in your Succession as your Father is in you and the Prayers of the Church attracted as the Dew and Exhalations by the glory and heate of the Sunne above shall bee returned in rich showers of blessing upon you and yours Poets are Prophets or at least would be If I be one this is my prophecie Your name 's no stranger to the Imperiall seate Our turn comes next wee must have Charles the Great Your highnesses most humble servant FRANCIS WORTLEY To the well affected Reader or otherwise PRuning and reformation I allow but eradication and deformation I tremble to heare of and hope never to see God forbid that personal errors should destroy an Institution so ancient sealed with the bloud of so many blessed Martyres Though Iudas die in the consciousnesse of his treason yet an other must succeed him in his Bishoprick As an obedient sonne to my mother the Church I wish her honour and happinesse to the Common Weale as a member of it and that these two as Mercie and Truth may kisse each other and in their unitie make the Soul and Bodie the King and his people happie so shall our Common-weale flourish and our Church be glorious and God even our own God shall blesse us Peace shall be within our Walls plentie within our palaces I study Multum in parvo and to put as much as I can into a little room and hope to give satisfaction to such as are not more addicted to their wills then reason if mine deceive me not However I have discharged the dutie I ow my conscience and hope to finde the benefit of that which is all I look for and is sufficient to arm mee against the obloquies or misconstructions of those whose hearts are ful of that which their tongues must utter or their hearts will breake with their Plerophory I protest I have no end in it but Gods glory the discharge of my own studied thoughts have therein conquered my inclination by the assistance of my reason grounded upon much more paines then the World holds me guiltie of And thus satisfied I would not that succeeding ages should finde my name amongst those who consented to eradicate Episcopacie For my part I had rather suffer the censure of the malevolent then to be thought to consent to that which my conscience approves not If this excuse me for my writing I am glad If not I have pleased my selfe in discharge of my troubled thoughts and conscience ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΩΣΙΣ ΤΗΣ Αληθειασ Truth asserted by the practice of the Apostles confirmed by the Testimonie of Synods Fathers and Doctors from Christs time to this day IN Discourses Rhetoricall men desire to shew the power of Nature improved by Art which wee call Eloquence in Logicall Disputes the quicknesse of apprehension and the improvement of judgement The one often makes a difference betwixt subtilties and attempts to puzle Reason The other rightly employed defines and settles a Truth obscured by different falsities In matters of Faith wee lay aside reason and yield to Scriptures truth as other faculties of the body doe to their informer the Rationall soule and as young Scholars to their Ipse dixit We believe therefore what neither sense nor reason can make us to conceive I believe the Scripture to bee the sacred Word of God and what truth I find therein I conceive it to be Iure Divino My reason I confesse is bound and yields in the point of Episcopacie that it is Iure
