Glocester Golsborough Hereford Benet College he made many excellent Scholars that came afterwards to great Preferment in the Church and Common-wealth five whereof were in his time Bishops that then were Fellows of the College when he was Master and some of them his Pupils besides many Deans and others of Dignity and Estimation in the Church at this day 35. He had divers Earls and Noblemens Several Noblemen c. his Pupils Sons to his Pupils as namely the Earls of Worcester and Cumberland the Lord Zouch the Lord Dunboy of Ireland Sir Nicholas and Sir Francis Bacon now his Majesty's Solicitor General in whom he took great comfort as well for their singular Towardliness as for their observance of him and performance of many good Offices towards him All which Their respects towards him together with the rest of the Scholars of that House he held to their publick He holds the Scholars strictly to their Exercises and Devotion Disputations and Exercises and Prayers which he never missed chiefly for Devotion and withal to observe others absence always severely punishing such Omissions and Negligences 36. He usually dined and supped in the Common Hall as well to have a watchful Eye over the Scholars and to keep them in a mannerly and awful obedience as by his Example to teach them to be contented with a Scholar-like College Diet. 37. The sway and Rule he then did bear through the whole University the Records themselves will sufficiently testify for by his meer travail and labour and the Credit which he had with her Majesty and the Lord Burghly then Lord Treasurer of England and Chancellor of Cambridge he procured an alteration and amendment of the Statutes Procures amendment of the University Statutes of the University In which kind of Affairs and Business all the Heads of the Houses were directed and advised by him as from an Oracle For commonly whatsoever he spake or did they still concurred with him and would do nothing without him 38.

IN June following he was attended Sets out for Worcester June 1697. attended with the Heads of Houses c. and accompanied on his way from Cambridge towards Worcester with a great Troop of the Heads and others of choice account in the University and with exceeding lamentation and sorrow of all sorts for the loss they conceived they had of so worthy a Governor 41. But their grief for the loss of The Queen forgives his First-fruits and gives him the disposal of all the Prebends of that Church him was not so great as was the joy of them who had found him amongst whom it pleased her Majesty to grace his very first entrance both in forgiving him his First-fruits a Princely and extraordinary Bounty as also in bestowing on him for the better encouragement and provision of his Chaplains and other learned men about him the disposing of all the Prebends of that Church of Worcester during his continuance there 42. He found the Bishoprick at his He finds the Bishoprick impaired by Grants of long Leases first coming much impaired by his Predecessors granting away in long Leases divers Manors Parks and Mansion-houses But that which much troubled him and wherein he most of all stirred Particularly the Rent-Corn of Two of the best Mannors Hollow and Grimly was the letting to Master Abington Cofferer to the late Queen the Rent-corn of his two best Manors Hollow and Grimley which is the chief upholding of the Bishop's Hospitality and without which especially in dear Years he is not able to keep House This Lease being let to Master Abington a great Man then to contend withal his Wife also being sometimes the Queen's Bedfellow the Bishop notwithstanding did He questions the said Lease call it in question having now besides his Honourable Friends the Lord Keeper and the Lord Treasurer gained by his attendance at Court many more about her Majesty who much favoured him and professed great love unto him especially the Earl of Leicester Sir Christopher Hatton Vice-Chamberlain Has great Friends at Court and Sir Francis Walsingham Principal Secretary all in special grace with her Highness Master Abington by his Wife's greatness procured her Majesty's gracious Letters written very earnestly in his behalf The Bishop returning Satisfies the Queen answer unto her Majesty and enforming her by means of his honourable Friends how

those whom he served to entrap him with Women His attempting them in dishonest manner but with purpose only as he there pretendeth to learn of them the Practices against him The like Snares laid for him by some of better place and credit than the former Of his affliction in mind that he endured because he so behaved himself toward Women and yet could not learn out by them the plot laid against him Of his going into Hampshire to have been placed there How he was in a place there for the most part of 20 days beat with a Bostonado and into what pitiful state of Body he was thereby brought That this was done partly for his avouching that Christ was Head of the Church against the Pope and for saying That as certain Earthen Pots were there by him broken so should all Papists be broken in Hell and confounded so many as rose up against him in Earth How he was forced to use the Deputy-Lieutenant of Hampshire his Aid to be safely conveyed out of that Country lest he should be murthered by his Enemies That he came thence to one M. Paul Wentworth's House where he remained a Month and was used most Christianly and where he was most deeply exercised in the Spirit How as he passed by the way out of Hampshire he told a Gentleman in company that was privy to his Enemies Complots of a great Practice intended against him and to be done in a Chamber by certain Persons whom he then named aforehand Insomuch as the said Gentleman being made privy to such purpose and knowing that he said true affirmed surely he could conjure or else it had not been possible to tell such things as he did where indeed he saith the Lord in the midst of his former Afflictions revealed it unto him and further shewed him a Place which he had appointed for him and how he would bring all his Enemies Practices to confusion How in performance of that which was so revealed he was afterward in a certain Place in Hartfordshire bound first in a Chamber and then chained in a Sink-hole of a Seller and most grievously many ways afflicted there for 20 days together That in the greatest extremity thereof which was greater than he could express a Cross came upon his Breast as he lay and always when his Torments were at the greatest the Lord unloosed his Feet and Hands from his Fetters and Bands nevertheless he lay still till his Tormentors came and bound him again How the Lord then appeared to him and assured him that he would establish the Gospel by him and shewed him all the Whoredom of Rome in the person of a great Personage since deceased as it were in Candle-light with a great Bell full of iniquity That during that time the Lord shewed him a terrible Famine which he would bring upon a Land but whether this Land or not was not declared That Christ then shewed him his Wisdom and Providence in governing the Seas and all other Waters in their Courses And further shewed him the Man that should sit on Christ's Right hand to judge both the quick and the dead whose Name he well knoweth That then he made his Petition unto the Lord who answered him by a Voice thus What he would how he would and when he would How by the extremity of his Torments his Eyes were fallen down and his Tongue thrust out of his Head so as he could not pull it in again one Barley-corn's breadth but the Lord in that extremity shewed him that he would keep his Body from hursting and that one hair of his Head should not perish That being loosed by his Wife's importunity soon after in a very Rainy-day he his Wife one Richard Dickens and one Palmer rid altogether thence toward Oundell thirty Miles that day and albeit it rained all the day very fore so that great floods came upon it yet never a one of them had any drop thereof fall upon their Clothes That being at Oundell and foreseeing he should be exercised again he prayed his Wife that no man might come at him for he would keep his Chamber And then the Lord appeared unto him and shewed him in what danger the Land was by reason of foreign Enemies at the Sea and commanded him to go round about the Town and that should be a defence to the Land round about That after this he kept himself in his Barn about eight days reasoning with the Lord touching Predestination and Reprobation continually begging of him that he would save all those that fought ignorantly against the Truth or otherwise sinned through want of knowledge How after this betaking himself to his Chamber again the Lord he saith forced him to cry out against two great Subjects and Counsellors in this Land That he was again bound and tormented there other twenty days in eight whereof he neither did eat nor drink and was continually watched for that they knew the Lord would come and loose him if they left him That during this time Witches used their Sorcery strongly upon him That the Lord then told him that he would harden his own heart against Hacket's Tormentors How then also four or five Angels night by night stood by him and watched over him like unto Doves and one night Spirits innumerable And that a white Hand came from the Almighty and took him by the hand whereby all Venome Poison Uncleanness and Corruption departed from him for a time whereupon the Lord shewed him three Heavens together and all the dwelling places contrived in one of them but the highest Heaven was shewed to be without end which glory he was not able to behold but was made able to look upon the Blood of the Saints which was made round like a Wax Cake in very great breadth but the glory which therewith appeared he could not look upon so that he was forced to turn his face upon the Pillow How the Lord also shewed him the murthering of the Wicked even like the slaying of Swine the Father murthering the Son and the Mother the Daughter and every one another all the day long and no man took pity upon them That there was then revealed unto him a very strange fire from Heaven the length whereof he did see consuming all things from the Heaven to Hell mouth but he did not see the breadth thereof Also that he then did see the breadth of the tormenting place of the Damned and what was therein but neither the bottom nor length of the place That he also supposed he saw his Liberty begged by two honourable Personages Notwithstanding which deliverance that he dreamed of he telleth that he was carried afterward to Northampton Gaol where he remained 17 Weeks as afore is remembred Furthermore there is declared That in his Torments the Lord shewed him how he would confound all his Adversaries that were guilty in any practice against him and that one thing which they went about they should never bring to pass for he let

being a Papist and with sundry others who found such means as that they procured Devils to be raised Sorcerers Witches and Enchanters all which said he I know and can name and mind one day to help to burn them to work upon my Body with intent to make me call back my said words of protestation concerning the truth of this Religion which if I would not do said they but could endure the Torments that they would inflict then they all would be of my Religion and would make me Emperor over all Europe This Tale to them that had minds afore His Tale credited prepared and took Hacket by reason of his most earnest Protestations Prayers shew of zeal pretended favour with God and such like to be a man that would not tel an untruth for all the world seemed no way unprobable or to be discredited So that these three principal Actors having as well among themselves as with others often conferred hereabouts both by word and writing were by the midst of Trinity Term become most resolute for the advancing of their designments For in a Letter written by Coppinger about that time to the aforesaid J. Thr. it is thus contained Mine own dear Brother Coppinger ' s Letter to J. Thr. my self and my two Brethren who lately were together with you in Knight-rider's Street do much desire conference with you which will ask some time The business is the Lord 's own and he doth deal in it himself in a strange and extraordinary manner in poor and simple Creatures Much is done since you did see us which you will rejoice to hear of when we shall meet and therefore I beseech you so soon as you receive this Letter hasten an Answer in writing to my Sister's House therein advertise I beseech you when I may come to speak with you for delays are dangerous and some of the great Enemies begin to be so pursued by God as they are at their wits end The Lord make us thankful for it who keep us ever to himself to do his will and not ours By occasion also of hearing Master Chark on a Friday about that time at the Coppinger ' s Leter to Chark about his extraordinary Course for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom Black-Fryers Coppinger saith he was thereupon moved by God's Spirit to write unto him a Letter which beareth date the 9th day of July last In which Letter amongst other things thus he writeth unto him I do not deny good Sir but that I have now a good long time taken a strange and extraordinary course such as hath offered occasion of suspicion of my not only doing hurt to my self but also to the best sort of men now in question and to the Cause it self But by what warrant I have done this that is all For if the Holy Ghost have been my Warrant and carrieth me into such Actions as are differing from others of great note in the Church of God what flesh and blood dare speak against me This is it that 1 desire at your hands and at all the rest of God's Servants that you forbear to censure me and such others as shall deal extraordinarily with me in the Lord's business committed to our charge and judge of us by the effects that follow which if you hereafter see to be wonderful great then are all ordinary men placed in Callings within this Land to fear and to call themselves to examination before the Justice Seat of God and see whether they have walked faithfully before God and man in seeking the salvation of the Souls of the People and the advancement of Christ's Kingdom and the overthrow of Antichrist's And if all and every one Note in their places shall be forced to confess to have failed in not discharge of their duties let them acknowledge their sin and repent before Plagues and Punishments fall upon them The waste of the Church cannot be denied to be great so that there is place for extraordinary men though temporizing Christians will not admit this therefore God's mercies shall appear to be wonderful great if amongst us he have raised up such as I know he hath and hereafter I doubt not by God's grace but I with the help of the rest shall be able to avow against all gainsayers whatsoever My desire heretofore hath been to have counsel and direction from others But now by comfortable experience I find that the Action which the Lord hath drawn me into is his own and he will direct it himself by the Holy Ghost and have the full honour of it and therefore I wait upon him and yet most heartily crave the Prayers of the Saints that they will beseech God to bless all his Servants that he hath set awork in his own business And I further beseech you to shew this Letter to Master Traverse and Master Orders it to be shewn to Traverse Egerton and the other Preachers Egerton and all the rest of the godly Preachers in the City and judge charitably of me and others and let every one look to his own Calling that therein he may deal faithfully and let us judge our selves and not judge one another further than we have warrant After this Letter it hapned that M. Chark preached in the same place again the next Sunday after at which time Coppinger took himself to be particularly meant by one part of the Sermon Whereupon he wrote a Letter to another Preacher as I do gather the Thursday after viz. the 15th of July whereby he thus signifieth M. Chark told the People that there were some Persons so desperate that they would willingly thrust themselves upon the Rocks of the Land and Waves of the Sea This I took to be spoken principally to my self and therefore I thought good to advertise you that he spake the truth in those words but he touched not me but himself and the rest of the Ministers of the Land who have not only run desperately themselves upon the Rocks and Waves but carried the whole Ship whereby they all be in danger of Shipwreck and should have perished if the Lord had not immediately called three of his Servants to help to recover it who are not only sent from God to his Church here but also elsewhere through the World My Calling is specially to deal with Magistrates Another hath to do with Ministers who hath written a Letter to you of the City but it cannot be delivered hardly this day The other third is the chiefest He pretends to be chiefly called to deal with Magistrates who can neither write nor read for he is the Lord's Executioner of his most holy will This Letter is thus subscribed The Lord's Messenger of Mercy Ed. Coppinger These three therefore strongly fancying to themselves such extraordinary Callings and standing resolute by all means to advance that which they falsly call Reformation and being thus seduced and bemoped by Hacket it is no marvel though they entred further as by degrees

into many lewd dangerous and traiterous Attempts For first having conceived mortal hatred against two great and worthy Counsellors of this Estate who they thought would not a little stop the course they had taken and hinder the purpose which they pursued Coppinger therefore by Hacket's advice directed Coppinger having hatred to two Counsellors of State pretends to impeach them of Treason several Letters unto some Honourable Personages whereby he signified that certain Treasons were intended even against her Majesty's own Sacred Person meaning after to appeach those two thereof and hoping by this means either to take them away or at least their Credits with her Majesty until he and his Complices might bring their Purposes to some better pass or else by this colourable Pretence having access and opportunity to have executed some wicked Practice against her Royal Person The discovery avouching and proof of these supposed Treasons Hacket and he did take especially upon themselves The first two Letters that I find Coppinger He writes a Letter to them with one inclosed to the Queen writ to the said honourable Personages about this pretended matter of Treason to be discovered was the third day of June last both to this purpose To have them acquaint her Majesty that intelligence was given unto him of some Treason intended against her own Sacred Person but naming no particular In the one of them he inclosed a Letter of his to her Majesty and certain Petitions which he would have had to be offered up to her Highness being to this effect That he might have leave to entertain the Action of such discovery that as matters should come to light he might resort to a certain worthy Counsellor by him there named to acquaint him therewith and to have his Counsel and direction That he the said Coppinger might confer and examine Jesuits and all Prisoners suspected or condemned of Treason about these matters in the presence of certain others That for better furtherance of his Service he might have this favour to stay judgment or at least execution against condemned Persons for Crimes capital or smaller until her Majesty might have account given of the cause of his so doing That he might be pardoned for so bold an Attempt if in over-much fear of danger to her Sacred Person he had or afterward should go too far and not effect that in the end which he hoped to do And lastly That this matter might be concealed from all men But the said honourable Personage finding this to be an unlikely and strange Course to be yielded unto as may be gathered by the Answer and by the other Letters directed him to a more sound way viz. To learn first the grounds perfectly to acquaint none other with the matter and to do it speedily Hereupon the 8th of the said His second Letter to them with one of Hacket's inclosed animating him to do the Lord's business June he addressed another Letter to the same Personage enclosing therein a Letter written to him from Hacket and dated the last day of May and another Letter of his own to her Majesty to have been delivered unto her Highness His Letter to the said honourable Personage is to commend the Writer of that Letter inclosed not naming him for Coppinger had raced out both Hacket's Name and the Name of Oundell from whence it came as a Man able and willing to do her Majesty some principal service to offer their attendances to come before her Majesty and to urge the delivery of the Letters for that the matter he said admitted no delays The Letter from Hacket is nothing but an inciting and animating of Coppinger to perform the Lord's business he had in hand by many holy and devout words and hypocritical Allusions to certain Stories of the Scripture Coppinger's Letter to her Majesty Coppinger sends another Letter to the Queen and presseth to get to her Presence pretending some special service commendeth the Inditer of that inclosed for a Man beloved of God and fearing him unfeignedly and one enabled by God to do her Highness some special service He also humbly desireth thereby that they two might appear before her own Princely Person in the presence only of two certain Lords and one Lady But the said honourable Personage sent Hacket's Letter again unto Coppinger as of no moment for that purpose and stayed the delivery of his Letter to her Majesty till some particular intelligence might be had to be first delivered to her Highness The same day Coppinger also writ two several Letters to the same two Lords in whose presence he and Hacket desired to come before her Majesty and to deliver their Intelligence this he did to advertise them hereof aforehand That which is written to the one of them mentioneth a Supplication which Coppinger sent the day afore unto his Lordship to make passage to some better service to her Majesty which he hoped should be done shortly to her Highness's good liking and to his Lordship's great honour for that he should be the chief Actor therein Upon some answer returned Coppinger j alous that what he had to reveal would be slighted writes to Hacket for more important Intelligence from the Lady afore-mentioned craving some Particulars of that which they meant to discover Coppinger writ to Hacket being in London to urge him unto some more special point of Intelligence Whereunto Hacket the said 8th of June answering by Letter to small purpose and subscribing his Letter thus As you find me so call me Coppinger therefore returned in answer another Letter presently unto him whereby he signified that Hacket must manifest somewhat more plainly of some practice worth the revealing otherwise they both should worthily fall into her Majesty's indignation for that which he had then writ would not satisfy her Majesty and the State concerning the danger which Hacket supposed to be coming upon the Land and wherewith he seemed to be acquainted Upon such overture as afore is touched made to one of the said Lords he had the Both of them are examin'd by one of the Lords who finds little in their Information so shakes them off said two Appeachers before him on the 10th of June but finding Hacket's demeanour of himself very strange and their Imputations as frivolous he dismissed them as is said without further ado to their great discontentment Hereupon Coppinger in stomach so far as he durst writ another Letter to the said Nobleman the 11th of June Hereby he signified That were it not that he had been before acquainted with the Graces and Gifts of the Holy Ghost which he did assure himself to be in Hacket in an extraordinary manner he should have esteemed of him by his behaviour as his Lordship did Therefore what trouble or danger soever might come to himself by it he was resolute to abide it and further chargeth the said Nobleman in God's name to deliver the Letters and Copies there inclosed to her

of to bring them to pass which they hoped to stir up by their pretence of so great holiness with calling the Realm to repentance in the open Streets of London by offering joys and mercy to the Penitent and by their Proclamation also then made in Cheapside as hereafter cometh to be declared Now that these their two last Purposes were indeed the principal and main ends which they propounded to themselves besides that which by the way is noted already and that which comes hereafter to be mentioned let these few Proofs ensuing suffice First for the alteration of the whole Government Ecclesiastical and erecting of the new Discipline It is confessed that Coppinger Coppinger and Arthington two false Prophets their words to Wigginton the day before the Insurrection and Arthington the two Counterseit Prophets on the 16th of July last being Friday and the self-same day that they arose in Cheapside told Wigginton in the morning these words amongst many others viz. That Reformation and the Lord's Discipline should now forthwith be established and therefore charged Wigginton in the Lord's name to put all Christians in comfort that they should see a joyful alteration in the state of Church-Government shortly To which words Wigginton made no reply nor further demand as of any matter strange unto him how it was so shortly to be compassed Wherein may also be observed that these kind of Persons do reckon and term only those Christians that will take comfort and joy at such an Alteration So that by their Opinions it skilleth not what be attempted or done against all others being but as Heathens and Paynims or at least Idolaters Thus much with their seditious Purposes Their Seditious Purposes appear in Coppinger's Letter to Udal then condemned for writing the Demonstration of Discipline also is plainly implied in a dangerous Letter written by the said Coppinger since Easter last unto one John Udal a condemned man for Felony in the White Lyon in Surrey for writing of the Book termed the Demonstration of Discipline That Letter beginneth thus Right Reverend Sir my forbearing to visit you and the rest of the Saints who suffer for Righteousness sake do give you all cause to think that I have forsaken my first Love and have embraced the God of this World But my Conscience beareth me witness of the contrary The Reasons of my absence being so great and so weighty that hereafter when they shall be examined by your selves who are endued with the spirit of wisdom and discerning of Spirits I doubt not but Note you will allow of my not coming which might bring you into more trouble and danger than it would do me good or breed me comfort And afterward thus You have care and conscience to further the building of the Lord's House which lieth waste and to seek the final overthrow of Antichrist's Kingdom which being the Lord 's own work he will bless it and all the Actors in it And this I dare be bold of mine own knowledge to report that in this great Work he hath divers that lie hid and are yet at liberty who are hammering their heads busying their brains and spending their spirits in prayers to God as much as you or any of you that are in Prison Note and hope in short time to be brought forth into the sight of their and your Enemies to defend the Cause you stand for And again afterward in this wise I beseech you cheer up your selves in the Lord for the day of our Redemption is at hand and pray that the Hand of the Lord may be strengthened Note in them whom he hath appointed to take part with you in this Cause and beseech him that blessing may be upon Sion and confusion upon Babel Pardon my long Letter I beseech you and impart mine humble suit to all the rest to whom I neither dare write nor offer to see I neither put to my Name nor make Subscription The Bringer can report who sendeth the Letter and let that suffice Furthermore that they hated deadly and maligned her Majesty as a principal Obstacle to their Innovation and Kingdom and therefore sought to deprive her Highness of her Sovereignty and Life may be gathered by their own Words and Actions For Hacket confessed before the other two that They usually attend Egerton a Preacher in Black-Frairs at a Sermon of one Egerton's preach'd in the Black-Fryars whither they usually resort he the said Hacket remained uncovered all the Sermon time until the Preacher came to pray for her Majesty but then he said that he put on his Hat And when Arthington demanded why he did so Coppinger streightway answered thus There is a matter in that Likewise when as in their private Prayers amongst themselves Arthington used to pray for the Queen Coppinger Coppinger and Hacket forbear to pray for the Queen would sundry times tell him that his so doing did much grieve Hacket adding that in the beginning himself did also pray for her but Hacket had now drawn him from it saying there was a cause why which Arthington knew not but should know hereafter For saith he you do not know this man meaning Hacket who is a greater Person than she and indeed above all the Princes in the World And whenas on the very Sunday before their rising for so themselves have since termed that Action it happened that Arthington prayed again for the preservation of the Queen's Majesty Hacket not digesting this suddenly with indignation turned his face away from him but when he prayed for other matters then Hacket cast his countenance towards him again which he perceiving that Arthington also marked by him and purposing as it seemeth to salve up this matter again left Arthington happily might yet have fallen from them therefore when they had ended their Prayers Hacket took him with his Arms about the middle in very kind sort affirming that he loved the Queen as well as either of them and desired him not to be offended for the Lord had commanded it Adding further that there was a matter in it that Arthington as yet knew not Hereupon Coppinger being in hearing thereof said that she might be prayed for in general terms but not so specially as Arthington did whereby Hacket was grieved nor yet to be prayed for as a Sovereign For said he she may not reign as Note Sovereign but this man Hacket and yet saith he she shall live better than ever she did albeit she must be governed by another thereby also meaning Hacket And to the intent they might the more assuredly retain Arthington without suspicion of their poisonful malice wherein they boiled against the Queen's Highness Hacket himself once after this time very subtilly prayed for her Majesty For proof that they also meant to deprive her of life the several Confessions of Arthington Arthington confesseth that Hacket and Coppinger design'd the Queen's deprivation of Government and Life at sundry Examinations may be
