and next him on his left hand how all the Bishopes must sweare Canonicall profession obedience and subiection to ●he iurisdiction powre and ●mpire off Canterbury priuiledges and libe●●●●s what a

and tra●icall Hie●●●●achie betwene the two H●erarches off Canterburye and yorke for the papacie in England and by the waye off a petye braw●e and subquarel● betwen yorke and duresme for Archiepiscopall Iurisdiction in that prouince In all these thinges is ther to bee noted a marueilous carnall and worldly affec●ion borne to Canterburye sea For besides yow shall see diuers very odious and proud comparisons with the Archbishope off yorke both for the bargeines off Imperiall precinct and allso For courteous vsage towardes his subiecte Parishes For with these names he is contente to debase his vassel B●shoprikes And this is a taste of the church honors and spirituall subiection which the sea off Cāterburye chalengeth The ende off that three and twentye leafe is a preface off his temporall principalities priuiledges and prerogatiues which is begonne with a worthye sentence out off Iohn Capgra●e off Pope vrbin whoe with his owne vnho●ye mouthe pronounced Archbis Austyne off Canterburye worthye to be an other Apostolicall Bishoppe and Patriarch off an other worlde yea almost his fellowe to the great honour no● doubte off h●s successors off Canterburye In this par●e is it somwhat trauiled For verye substanciallye he beginneth with his diu●sion off the rigthes and prerogatiues off that sea Some sayeth he are sett out in the lawes and be commō with oth●r Archbishoprickes ● some are absolute and peculiar vnto him selfe without al● lawes or not expressed in the lawes H●s rihgtes prescribed and circumscribed in the lawes are confirmation off his prouinciall Bishoppes which without greate impietie may● be done noe whea●e laufullye but in Christes church at Canterburye The nexte is what greate tr●butes euerye made Bishoppe payed him Howe they 〈◊〉 his who●e ●ousho●de

called gra●ious Lordes as the Lordes off the yearth are but this is to be beyonde all grace and to be serued off these gracious Lordes and to be there Lorde paramounte In this ro●e of his noble Tenaun●es the nexte are the Lorde Si●anguais the Earle of Oxforde the Lorde Darcye a●l which sayeth he owe seruice to that Archbishopp wheare cometh in to be remembred one v●rye regall prerogatiue in deede For it encounters hande to hande euen with The kinges prerogatyue That is that whearas in others comon persones cases ●ff there Tenaunte holde anye lande off the Kinge he shall haue the custodye off both on and other the Archbishoppe shall yet againste the Kinge reteine the lande off his infante Tenaunte thoughe ●e holde of the kinge by knightes seruice or in capi●e which he proueth by a presiden●e in the minorytye off this earle off Oxforde in the tyme off the nowe Archbishope Many other immunities very princlicke are recited both for himselfe for his and for his church Ouer Rochester Bishopricke besides that he was a superior Archbishop he was also patrone and giuer off ●t From this steppe he clymeth vppe an other yet higher that the kinges off this realme are crowned and made by him as that which off right is properlie due vnto him and theruppon telleth howe the bishope off Salisburye for his malepart intrudinge him selfe to marie the kinge once vnder color that it was in Salisburie diocesse was shrewdly reproued and to his reproche reiected and the Archbishope taken to doe it That the kinge and Queene bee his domesticall and speciall parishoners wheresoeuer they bee in England yea that all England distinct in diuers diocesses is by reason off his primacie his parishe All this is recited not as one that telleth what other saye but ther are added arguments and reasons to proue it for saith he the author off that booke I meane that theese thinges bee trewe yt appareth because all offringes off the kinge and Queene or other noblemen either in the kinges chappell or other Church cathedrall contientuall or parochiall offred in the presence off the Archbishoppe are his owne and sha●● not 〈◊〉 either to the Bishope off the 〈◊〉 no● to the co●●ent and 〈…〉 to the deane off the Chappell off the Kinge much lesse to the poore priest off the parishe His second parte off his subdiuisio● off his peculiar rightes that is his church superioritie and preuileges is pursued first with this Archhonor that the Archbishope off yorke with all humilitie requir●th to bee consecrate off him off Canterbury and prof●ss●th 〈◊〉 in the consecration off Canterbury The Archbishope off Ireland and 〈…〉 take their righ●●s off 〈…〉 them selues to the seru●ce and attendance off Ca●terbury sea Th●● descendeth hee to the giftes that euery 〈…〉 Bishoppe best●weth 〈…〉 in their life and at their 〈…〉 wi●h saddel 〈…〉 there ringes and 〈…〉 seales ● Amonge the There is not lefte out so much as the priuiledge that he hath of dealinge with the goodes in diuers diocesses for which the booke sayeth that the other Bishoppes did striue with him but there saieth the booke did the power off the Canterburye Archbishoppe shine and shewe forth it selfe which will not be p●nched with the straite lawes off an Archbishoppe or Metropolitane which beinge not on ye primate off all Englande saieth the booke but also ordinarye and Bishoppe off all Englande and so beinge first instituted will still saieth the booke fitt ouer them as his suffraganes And once againe I saie all this is not bare●ye repor●ed but collected to the gereat praise off that sea and w●th allowance and without contrarye censure sett downe To make vpp all his goodlie glory the 〈◊〉 off this treatise is with that vsurped power off dispensation which the Pope helde againste the lawes off the kinge off Eng●ande and againste the et●rna●l lawe off the kinge off kinge● Iesus Christe and that this d●spens●nge power is translated to Canterburye In the Lawe off which transs●ation thoughe there be a god ye

Augustine for he made this Church Apostatare as they call yt fynding Religion here more sincere and Christian then he lefte it hauinge broughte in nothinge but vniformitie in singinge syttinge and such other semely orders off Rome and then descendinge in a rowe to all his successors in that sea or rather arme off the mayne sea off Rome euen to him that presently sites and takes his case therin Whearin who so euer will but consume a litell tyme shall finde that to sett forth thantiquitie off the sincere knowledge off Iesus Christe and the first preachinge theroff in this lande thoughe it bee firste in title yet is it leaste and laste in treatie sett rather for a commendation to the boke then that it was in any recommendacion to the author yea vsed only for a pretence and color to insinuate into the magnifienge off that magnificall seign●orie and Archipiscopall territorie off Canterburye and by all means possible to van●e the preheminece and supereminence off that princly Archpastor and pastorall Archprince the firste father and Peter as I maye saye off which succession he maketh that superstitious monke and wicked man Romishe Austen Who as he obtruded him selfe vniuersall Archbishoppe to all England and wan it not by the worde and spirite but by the sworde and bloude for he was the fyrebrand off a fraye whearin one and twentye hundreth monkes good men as good men went in those daies and in comparison off him in deed holy saintes besides other men off warre were all innocently slayne and murdered only because they refused to submitt their neckes to his Archiepiscopall yoke which they sawe him so ambitiously seeke so he the same Austen hauinge thus gotten by conquest this vniuersall vicepapaci ouer England because his procedinges shulde bee like his entrie with like apostolike humilitie and meeknes he iusteled for a place whear to fasten his chayre and by plaine wronge as wronge maye bee saide betwene wrongdoers wrange from the Archbishoppe off London for ther had been before the Archiepiscopall sea as allso saieth that boke all Archiepiscopall iurisdictiō pall and crosse cum pertinentijs and contrary euen to the pope his holy fathers commandement translated the same to canterburye Whear it was sette and settled to haue and to hold● to him and to his successors there 〈◊〉 vnder paine off the great excom●●●●cation and many a blacke curse th●●dred by diuers popes after which a●●ther recited for the greater terror 〈◊〉 them that should at any tyme attempte againste that holy sacred sea And because yt might not seeme to bee placed there lyghlye nor without the consente off the godes or decree off the destinies hee reciteth once or twise a profound va●●cination off Prophet Merline a worthye Prophet for su●●e a churche and his Propheticall woordes are pointed out in great capital letters Dignitas London●e adorna●● Doroberniam that as the churche off God hath her holy Aposteles and longe before Prophetes Proph●cynge by the 〈◊〉 off God and hath them for foundations so allso that degenerate church might bee founded in her proude and nothinge lesse then Apostle Augustine and established by suche coniuringe witches and coleprophetes seduced by the lyinge spyrite as was Merline The tree off this succession norished with the sape off the crabstocke whearon it was vnhappely graffed not vnlike to the manner off conquerers and tyrans sought by all meanes to aduaunce and enlarge this ther newlye wonne domination For they deuoured vpp quite an Archbischoprike off wales and drowned it in the botomlesse sea off Canterbury Somwhat they strained at the vnderbishoprikes ther making a conscience to swallowe suche gnates and therfore off ther great Good grace were contente they should not vtterly lose their beinge but remaine to encrease the number off ther subiectes By which shamfull struglinge they obtained to sit vppon ther fellowe Archbishoppe off yorke and to tread vppon the reste theire brother bishoppes in Englande And hauinge thus preuayled in England and conquered for so he termeth yt yorke whome he could neither beare superiore with pompey nor suffer aequal withe Caesar For he plainly chalengeth a superioritie and fealtie off him Then boasteth he what a motherlie estimation it reteyned with the churches in Scottland euen then when he knoweth no milke was to bee sucked from her but poison From Scotland he takes shippinge and popelike steppes ouer into Ireland and thence ouer againe into fraunce Gasconie Normandie Aquetaine and ther saieth he it ouercame all the churches in Iurisdiction allso Iff this bee to watch ouer one prouīce in a realme like an Archbishope and not rather aspiringlye to affect a popedome ouer many realmes iudge ye It wil be no aunswear to saye that the kinge off England beinge then soueraigne off Ireland and fraunce in possession might aswell apoint one Archbisshope ouer all those regions as ouer Ingland or on prouince therin for iff the Archbishopes nose must bee so longe and that he must haue suche elbowe Rome then lett vs hear what the Pope who is next aboue the Archbishope will saye Surely he will singe the very same songe for him selfe The emperour off Rome soueraigne ouer all thes partes off the worlde made me generall Bishoppe aboue my bretherne But this Argument and suche like is the principall content off those two or thre and twenty leaues yea off that ●itle which he entreareth in those fewe first leaues De antiquitate Britannicae Ecclesi●● the very firste chapter sheweth what is the chiefe subiecte For the title off
