Prerogative and Authority to all Emperors Kings Princes and Potentates and all other we have conceiv'd such opinion and have such estimation of your Majesties goodness and vertue that whatsoever any persons not so well learned as your Grace is would pretend unto the same whereby we your most humble Subjects may be brought in your Graces displeasure and indignation surmising that we should by usupation and presumption extend our Laws to your most noble Person Prerogative and Realm yet the same your Highness being so highly learn'd will of your own most bounteous goodness facilly discharge and deliver us from that envy when it shall appear that the said Laws are made by us or our Predecessors conformable and maintenable by the Scripture of God and determination of the Church against which no Laws can stand or take effect Somewhat to this purpose had been before endevoured by the Commons in the last Parliament of King Edw. 3. of which because they got nothing by it but only the shewing of their teeth without hurting any body I shall say nothing in this place reserving it to the time of the long Parliament in the Reign of King Charles when this point was more hotly followed and more powerfully prosecuted than ever formerly What says our Author unto this Findes he here any such matter as that the Laity at their pleasure could li●●● the Canons of the Church Or that such Canons in whatsoever t●uched temporals were subject unto secular Laws and National Customs And hereof I desire the Reader to take special notice as that which is to serve for a Catholicon of general Antido●e against those many venomous insi●nations which he shall meet with up and down in the course of this History As for the case in which our Author grounds this pestilent Position it was the Canon made in a Synod at Westminster in the time of Anselm Anno 1102. prohibiting the sale of men and women like brute beasts in the open Market Which Canon not finding presently an universal obedience over all the Kingdom as certainly ill customs are not easily left when they are countenanced by profit occasioned our Author to adventure upon this bold assertion Fol. 24.

King John sent a base degenerous and unchristian Embassage to Admiralius Murmelius a Mahometan King of Morocco then very puissant and possessing a great part of Spain This Admiralius Murmelius as our Author and the old Monks call him was by his own name called Mahomet Enaser the Miramomoline of Morocco to whom if King Iohn sent any such Message it was as base unchristian and degenerate as our Author makes it But being the credit of the ●ale depends upon the credit of the Monkish Authors to which b●ood of men that King was known to be a professed Enemy ●ha●ing and hated by one another● it is not to be esteemed so highly as a piece of Apocrypha and much less to be held for Gospel Possible it is that being overlaid by his own subjects and distressed by the 〈◊〉 he might send unto that King for aid in his great extremities And doing this 〈◊〉 this were a●● he did no 〈…〉 and in ignation and 〈…〉 so much as was done afterwards upon far weaker grounds by King Francis the first employing the Turks Forces both by Sea and Land against Charles the fifth But the Monks coming to the knowledge of this secret practise and const●●ing his actions to the worst improv'd the Molehil to a Mountain rendring him thereby as odious to posterity as he was to themselves Fol. 63.

Author speaks of but some years before They were now come unto their height and had divided the whole body of the united Belgick Provinces into two great Factions that of the Remonstrants whom in reproach they call their Minions being headed by Iohn Olden Barnevelt a principal Counseller of State and of great Authority in his Countrey the other of the Calvinists or Contra-Remonstrants being managed by Maurice Prince of Orange the chief Commander of the Forces of the States united both by Sea and Land But the troubles and divisions were now come to their full growth they began many years before occasioned by a Remonstrance exhibited to the States of Holland by the followers of Dr. Iames Harmin who liked better the Melanchthonian way then that of Calvin Anno 1610. and that Remonstrance counterballanced by a Contra-Remonstran●● made by ●uch Divines who were better pleased with Calvins Doctrine in the deep Speculations of Predestination Grace Freewil c. then with that of Melanchthon Hence grew the names of Remonstrants and Contra-Remonstrants occurring frequently in the Writings on both sides till the Remonstrants were condemned in the Synod of Dort and either forced to yield the Cause or quit their Countrey Each party in the mean time had the opportunity to disperse their Doctrines in which the Remonstrants gained exceedingly upon their Adversaries especially after they had been admitted to a publick Confe●ence at the Hague Anno 1611. in which they were conceived to have had much the better of the day and so continued in encrease of their power and credit till the Quarrels and Animosities between the Prince and Barnevelt put a full period to the businesse by the death of the one and the Authority of the other Fol. 82. Hereby the equal Reader may judge how candidly Mr. Montague in his Appeal dealeth with our Divines charging them that the Discipline of the Church of England is in this Synod held unlawfull And again the Synod of Dort in some points condemneth upon the by even the Discipline of the Church of England Ass●redly Mr. Montague deals very candidly with our Divines professing that he doth reverence them for their places worth and learning though not obliged as he conceived to all or any of the Conclusions of the Synod at Dort And he might very well declare as indeed he doth that the Discipline of the Church of England in that and other Dutch Synods was held unlawfull and by them condemned upon the by For whereas in the Confession of the Belgick Churches ratified and confirmed in the Synod of Dort it is declared and maintained that all Ministers are by the word of God of equall power it must needs follow thereupon that the Superiority of Bishops over other Ministers is against Gods word Quantum verò attinet Divini verbi Ministros ubicunque locorum sint eandem illi Potestatem Authoritatem habent ut qui omnes sint Christi unici illius Episcopi universalis unicique Capitis Ecclesiae Ministri These are the words of that Confewon as it stands ratified and recorded in the Acts of the Synod of Dort as before was said In which and by which if the Discipline of the Church of England be not made unlawful in terminis terminantibus as they use to say I am sure it is condemned upon the by which is as much as Mr. Montague had affirmed of it And howsoever Dr. Charleton then Bishop of Landaffe as well to vindicate his own dignity as the honour of the Church of England tendred his Protestation of that Synod in behalf of Episcopacy yet was it made to signifie nothing nor so much as honored with an Answer our Author noting at the end of this protestation Britannorum interpellationi responsum ne gru q●●dem viz. to this interpellation of the British Divines nothing at all was answered There might be some wrong done to our Divines by the rest of that Synod but no wrong done by Mr. Montague neither to our Divines nor unto that Synod Fol. 89. Now whilest in common discourse some made this Iudge others that Sergeant Lord Chancellor King James made Dr. Williams lately and still Dean of Westminstet and soon after Bishop of Lincoln In this and the rest which followes touching the advancement of Dr. Williams to the place and dignity of Lord Keeper there are three things to be observed And first it is to be observed that though he was then Dean of Westminster when the custody of the Great Seal was committed to him yet was he not then and still Dean of that Church that is to say not Dean thereof at such time as our Author writ this part of the History For fol. 80. speaking of Dr. Hals return from the Synod of Dort Anno 1618. he addes that he continued in health till this day thirty three years after which fals into the year 1651. And certainly at that time Dr. Williams then Archbishop of York was not Dean of Westminster that place having been bestowed by his Majesty upon Dr. Steward Clerk of the Closet An. 1645. being full six years before the time which our Author speaks of Secondly whereas our Author tells us that the place was proper not for the plain but guarded Gown I would ●ain know how it should be more proper for the guarded Gown then it was for the plain There was a time when the Chancellors as our Author telleth us elsewhere were always Bishops and from that time till the fall of Cardinal Wolsey that Office continued for the most part in the hands of the Prelates at what time that great Office was discharged with such a general contentment that people found more expedition in their Suits and more ease to their Purses then of later times By which it seems that men who are never bred to know the true grounds and reasons of the Common Law might and could mitigate the Rigour of it in such difficult cases as were brought before them the Chancery not having in those days such a mixture of Law as now it hath not being so tyed up to such intricate Rules as now it is But thirdly whereas our Author in advocating for the Common Lawyers prescribeth for them a Succession of six Descent●s he hath therein confu●ed himself and ●aved me the trouble of an Animadve●sion by ● 〈◊〉 Note in which netelle●● us that Sir Ch. Hatton was not bred a Lawyer If so then neither was the Title 〈◊〉 strong nor the P●oscriptions so well grounded as ou● Author makes i● the int●●position of Sir Christopher Hatton between Sir Tho. Bromley and Sir Iohn Puckering 〈◊〉 it to three descents and but thirty years which is too short a time 〈◊〉 a Prescription to be built upon Fol. 93. He had 14 years been Archbishop of Spalato c. Conscience in shew and covetousness indeed caused his coming hither ● This is a very hard s●ying a censure which en●●enches too much upon the P●iviledges of Almighty God who alone knows the
