A35853	Tvvo looks over Lincolne, or, A view of his Holy table, name and thing, discovering his erronious and popish tenets and positions and under pretence of defending the cause of religion, shamefully betraying the truth and sincerity thereof : a petition exhbited in all humility to the judgement of the most worthy defenders of the truth the honorable House of Commons in Parliament against the said booke and especially 51 tenets therein / by R.

moderate degrees draw in as much Romish heat if not more than the former as appeareth plainly by the subsequents and so deceived many thousand readers and also would me if I had but only once look'd over Lincolne SECT. IV. Of Heylins Antidotum Lincolniense TO this Holy Table Doctor Heylin tooke no care to provide holy coverings and furnitures nor bossed Bookes guilt Candlestickes Virgin wax-tapers Embroydred hangings carved Rayles pretious Plate no nor so much as a massie Crucifix to pray unto for helpe against this Prelate but seeing his credit lie at stake his Coale extinguished his Altar sore wounded his Learning though weake lie a bleeding and his Religion poysoned hee thinkes it no time to sit playing at Tables with an idle Bishop but presently provides a salve for all these sores which hee called Antidotum Lincolniense but as his Divinitie was gone to travell in strange countreys and was but newly come home weary weake and feeble when he kindled his Coal to warme it so his physique lay asleepe in a warme night-cap and could not suddenly be awaked when he composed his Antidote so that it would neither cure his credit salve his Altars sores selve to expell the poyson of his opinion nor preserve his repute of learning although he graced it with his name in publique thereby bewraying himselfe to be the author of the Coal SECT. V. Of the Author of the Letter and Holy Table c. THat the Bishop of Lincolne was the Author of the Letter to the Vicar of Grantham and Divines of that Lecture though his Secretaries pen might set downe the words is manifest by the premisses in the first Section and that hee was likewise the Author of the Holy Table in defence of the Letter against the Coal from the Altar is not onely probable but plainly manifest and undenyable for although in the Title page and in the license he call him a Lincolneshire Minister and pag. 5. a neighbouring Minister employed in some of the maine passages and pag. 11. one of the Lecturers of Grantham saying Wee met accordingly and perused these Letters c. And pag. 21 and 114. one of the Lecturers that approved of the Letter yet all this proves him not a Lecturer both because he might purposely personate another man whom he was not and also because that by the same reason wee may as well thinke him to be a Countrey Joyner for hee saith Holy Table pag. 45. I that am but a poore Countrey Ioyner can set you up a Table c. and yet hee could not be a Lecturer and Joyner both besides the Lordly stile the Bishoply phrase the Prelaticall disdaine of the Doctor the Chaplin although the Kings his mocking him with a Bishopricke his slight of a Vicaridge his disdaine of the Vicar of that Lecture doe speake him no Lecturer at Grantham his leasure to reade Histories besides English French Italian and Spanish unlikely in a Lecturer his dexteritie in the civill Common and Canon lawes the Lord Keepers office Acts of Parliament Acts of Councell Prerogative Royall Episcopall policy and experience and many such reasons bewray him to be no Lecturer his skill in the tongues not usuall in a Lecturer his Promptitude and readinesse in the Popish Canons Decrees and Decretals his skill in so many severall Masse-bookes and frequent quotation of Masse-mongers his notorious ignorance in understanding and applying the Scriptures as appeares pag. 78. upon Acts 6.2 and his rare quotation of Scriptures the whole Booke I thinke scarce affording five severall Texts among many hundreds of Jesuits Masse-bookes and other Authors frequently quoted in all which regards I appeale to any rationall man whether this can be a Lecturer but above all this wee have himselfe confessing and one confession of the party accused or suspected the Law takes hold of not regarding a hundred denialls for saith hee Holy Table pag. 206. I dare not determine being as you say none of the ablest Canonists in the Church of England here he takes the words as spoken of himselfe which in the Coal from the Altar pag. 50. and quoted Holy Table pag. 54. It is manifest that Heylin speakes it and Lincolne takes it as spoken of the writer of the Letter so that it cannot be denyed but that one man was writer of both and that hee was the Bishop appeares plainly Holy Table pag. 58. saying This Pamphleter whose whole Booke is but a Libell against a Bishop c. Now it is evident that Heylin writ the Coal in answer to the Letter and the Writer thereof therefore the Writer of both Letter and Booke was the Bishop And if this plaine confessing can be shifted off with jugling barbara celarent pag. 64. adieu Grammar and Logicke Mood and Figure and Mood and Tense too and vous avez Doctor Holdsworth who they say corrected it at the Presse and Master Bourn who had the Manuscript and also vous avez the Bishop of Lincolne himselfe who licensed and approved it for Orthodoxal and consonant and subscribed his Name A Preamble to the Tenets BEcause the Prelates are so subtile and politique and so selfe-conceited and to use Lincolnes owne words doe make their owne workes above all humane and equall to the Lawes divine Holy Table pag. 4. and such is the partiality of them that they make their owne case make their owne evidence make their owne law and make their owne authorities and all out of their owne conceits and endeavour what they can to give a faire cause a foule face Holy Tab. pag. 5. so that when wee have that great advantage which Tully speakes of Confitentem reum the guiltie confessing wee can scarce be sure to tie a knot upon a Bishop for he is a slipperie youth as Plaut. in pseudolo Quid cum manifesto tenetur Anguilla est elabitur Holy Table pag. 40. When you thinke sure an Eele is tyed Hee 'l slip the string and not abide So that a man cannot imagine what evidence to provide to give satisfaction to so hautie a companion who Iura negat sibi nata nihil non arrogat armis pag. 5. His native lawes he will deny The Prelats power to deify And because it is possible a Prelate may propose unto himselfe some peevish wrangling waspish humour of his owne in stead of a Canon Holy Table pag. 65. and therefore no Ecclesiasticall Judge whatsoever is to guide himselfe by his owne sense pag. 65. although this Prelate would have his courteous Readers the poore countrey people to swallow many a Gudgeon without so much as champing or chewing on it Holy Table pag. 146. I have therefore proposed before his Tenets to avoyd cavillations and Prelaticall evasions three rules and one compasse which if they were mine owne being reasonable it were as great reason this Prelates Opinions and Tenets should be ruled and squared by them as that Heylin and others should be regulated by and compassed within his rules and compasse But because I would deale with all
