was made Knight of the Bath at the Coronation of King Iames Anno 1603. and afterwards created Lord Montague of Boughton in the nineteenth year of that King Anno 1621. which honourable Title is now enjoyed by his Son another Edward Anno 1658. And thirdly though I grant that Dr. Iames Montague Bishop of Winchester the second Brother of the four was of great power and favour in the time of King Iames. Thus far Dr. Heylin out of his Advertisements written in correction of Mr. Sandersons History of the Reign of King Iames. To rectifie this heap of Errors not to be paralleled in any Author pretending to the emendation of another I have here plainly set down the Male-pedegree of this Noble Numerous and successfull Family 1 Sir Edward Montague Lord Chief Justice in the Reign of King Henry the eighth 2 Sir Edward Montague a worthy Patriot in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth Sir Walter Montague Knight second Son died without Issue Sir Henry Montague third Son Earl of Manchester Lord Chief Justice Lord Treasurer c. Edw.

We must attribute the main to Divine Providence blessing the Gospel A name too high to be bestowed upon the Fancies of a private man many of whose Opinions were so far from truth so contrary to peace and civil Order so inconsistent with the Government of the Church of Christ as make them utterly unworthy to be look'd on as a part of the Gospel Or if the Doctrines of Wickliffe must be call'd the Gospel what shall become of the Religion then establisht in the Realm of England and in most other parts of the Western World Were all but Wickliffes Followers relaps'd to Heathenism were they turn'd Jews or had imbrac'd the Law of Mahomet If none of these and that they still continued in the faith of Christ delivered to them in the Gospels of the four Evangelists and other Apostolicall Writers Wickliffes new Doctrines could not challenge the name of Gospel no● ought it to be given to him by the Pen of any But such is the humor of some men as to call every separation from the Church of Rome by the name of Gospel the greater the separation is the more pure the Gospel No name but that of Evangelici would content the Germans when they first separated from that Church and reformed their own And Harry Nichols when he separated from the German Churches and became the Father of Familists bestows the name of Evangelium Regni on his Dreams and Dotages Gospels of this kinde we have had and may have too many quot Capita t●t Fides as many Gospels in a manner as Sects and Sectaries if this world goe on Now as Wickliffes Doctrines are advanc'd to the name of Gospel so his Followers whatsoever they were must be called Gods servants the Bishops being said fol. 151. to be busie in persecuting Gods servants and for what crime soever they were brought to punishment it must be thought they suffered onely for the Gospel and the service of God A pregnant evidence whereof we have in the story of Sir Iohn Oldcastle accused in the time of King Harry the fifth for a design to kill the King and his Brethren actually in Arms against that King in the head of 20000 men attainted for the same in open Parliament and condemn'd to die and executed in St. Giles his Fields accordingly as both Sir Roger Acton his principal Counsellor and 37 of his Accomplices had been before For this we have not onely the Authority of our common Chronicles Walsingham Stow and many others but the Records of the Tower and Acts of Parliament as is confessed by our Author fol. 168. Yet coming out of Wickliffes Schools and the chief Scholar questionlesse which was train'd up in them he must be Registred for a Martyr in Fox his Calendar And though our Author dares not quit him as he sayes himself yet such is his tendernesse and respect to Wickliffes Gospel that he is loath to load his Memory with causlesse Crimes fol. 167. taxeth the Clergie of that time for their hatred to him discrediteth the relation of T. Walsingham and all later Authors who are affirm'd to follow him as the Flock their Belweather and finally leaves it as a special verdict to the last day of the Revelation of the righteous Iudgements of God Fuller First I fain would know whether the Animadvertor would be contented with the Condition of the Church of England as Wickliffe found it for Opinions and Practise and doth not earnestly desire a Reformation thereof I am charitably confident that He doth desire such an Emendation and therefore being both of us agreed in this Point of the convenience yea necessity thereof in the second place I would as fain be satisfied from the Animadvertor whether He conceived it possible that such Reformation could be advanced without Miracle all on a sodain so that many grosse Errors would not continue and some new one be superadded The man in the Gospel first saw men walking as trees before he saw perfectly Nature hath appointed the Twilight as a Bridge to passe us out of Night into Day Such false and wild opinions like the Scales which fell down from the Eyes of St. Paul when perfectly restored to his sight have either vanished or been banished out of all Protestant Confession Far be it from me to account the rest of England relapsed into Atheism or lapsed in Iudaism Turcism c. whom I behold as Erronious Christians

it would sufficiently secure them from a danger which though suspected was not certain to ensue This afterwards was very eagerly urged against them by a Committee in Parliament and sorry I am that they could not make their answer as clear as the objection Dr. Heylyn But whereas our Author tells us that the whole House consisted but of six score persons it may be thought that he diminisheth the number of set purpose to make his own party seem the greater For in the lower House of Convocation for the Province of Canterbury if all parties summon'd do appear these are no fewer then two and twenty Deans four and twenty Preb●ndaries fifty four Archdeacons and forty four Clerks representing the Dioc●san Clergy amounting in the totall to an hundred forty four persons whereof the thirty six Protestors if so many there were make the fourth part onely Howsoever all parties being not well satisfied with the lawfulness of their continuance his Majesty was advertis'd of it Who upon conference with his Judges and Counsell learned in the Laws caus'd a short Writing to be drawn and subscribed by their severall hands in these following words viz. at White-hall May the 10th 1640. the Convocation being called by the Kings Writ is to continue till it be dissolved by the Kings Writ notwithstanding the dissolving of the Parliament Subscribed by Finch Lord Keeper Manchester Lord Privy Seal Littleton chief Justice of the Common Pleas Banks Atturney Generall whit●ield and Heath his Majesties Serjeants Fuller I protest and now will enter my protestation in scriptis that it may be valid I had no designe either to substract from the number in the Convocation or add to those of the Dissentors I believe the Animadvertor is very right in his Arithmetick of Persons in the Provinciall Convocation of Canterbury But concerning the Arch-deacons give me leave once to enlarge my self in stating their true number because it is hard to find either a printed or written Catalogue of them which is exact herein They are generally reckoned up but FIFTY TWO as followeth The two first containing eighteen a piece the last sixteen which are but fifty two in my Arithmetick St. Asaph St. Asaph Bangor Bangor Anglesey Merioneth Bristol Dorset Bath and Wels.

Sarum Winchest Winchester Surrey Worcest Worcester This is the best printed List I have ever seen presented in Weaver's Funerall Monuments having the valuation of each Archdeaconry annexed taken as he saith and I believe him therein out of Sir Cotton's Library and yet I am sure it is not compleat Wherefore I supply Warwick in the Diocesse of Worcester as I find it in a more perfect written Catalogue And yet still one is wanting even Westminster who●e Church was advanced to the See of a Bishop by King Henry the Eighth and though since it hath been set back from a Cathedrall to a Collegiat-Church yet it still retaineth the honour to send one of their Prebendaries by the Title of their Arch-deacon to the Convocation And thus we have our full number of fifty four But whereas the Animadvertor taxeth me for saying The Convocation consisted of six-score I confess when I first read his words I had not a Church-History by me to confute it Yet I conceived such positiveness in a number improbable to fall from my Pen who had learn'd this Lesson from the best of Teachers the Spirit of God not to be peremptory but to leave a latitude in numbers of this nature In Times In Places In Persons Dan. 5.33 Darius being about threescore and two years 〈◊〉 Luk. 24.13 From Ierusalem about sixty furlongs Exod. 12.37 About six hundred thousand men on foot Luk. 3.23 Iesus began to 〈◊〉 about thirty years of age Joh. 6.19 Had rowed about five and twenty furlongs Act. 2.41 Added to the Church about three thousand souls But upon inspection of my Book my words were The whole House consisting of ABOUT six score where about is receptive of more or less Besides the Convocation as to the effectuall managing of matters properly consisted not of the Members belonging thereto but present therein and some five score and ten was the generall and constant appearance the rest being absent for age sicknesse and other detentions Dr. Heylyn Which Writing an Instrument our Author calls it being communicated to the Clergy by the Lord Arch-bishop on the morrow after did so compose the minds of all men that they went forwards very cheerfully with the work in hand The principall of those whom our Author calls Dissenters bringing in the Canon of Preaching for conformity being the eighth Canon in the Book as now they are plac'd which was received and allowed of as it came from his hand without alteration Fuller And calleth it an Instrument properly enough both to the originall notation and modern acception of the word Instrument is so termed ab instruendo from Instructing This Writing did first instruct Us at the present that by the judgment of those great States-men and Lawyers We might legally continue notwithstanding the dissolution of the Parliament And since this Writing hath by the event thereof instructed us that seeing the judgments of the Grandees in the Law were censured erroneous in Parliament it is unsafe in matters of this nature to rely on the opinions of any comparatively private persons As for the modern acception of the word I appeal to the Criticks in Language whether this Writing as the Animadvertor is fain to term it of the Judges may not be called by the generall name of Instrument harmoniously enough to the propriety thereof Dr. Heylyn Howsoever our Author keeps himself to his former folly shutting up his extravagancy with this conclusion fol. 169. Thus was an old Convocation converted into a new Synod An expression borrowed from the speech of a witty Gentleman as he is called by the Author of the History of the Reign of King Charls and since by him declar'd to be the Lord George Digby now Earl of Bristow But he that spent most of his wit upon it and thereby gave occasion unto others for the like mistakings was Sir Edward Deering in a speech made against these Canons Anno 1640. where we find these flourishes Would you confute the Convocation They were a holy Synod Would you argue against the Synod Why they were Commissioners Would you dispute the Commission They will mingle all powers together and answer that they were some fourth thing that neither we know nor imagine that is to say as it followes afterwards pag. 27. a Convocationall-Synodicall-Assembly of
