And would not their Lordships for such an answer which satisfied the High Priest commit our Saviour forthwith to prison to the Clinke the Gate-house Fleete New-prison Kings Bench or Counter as they committed Mr. Bambridg and M r. Johnson of old and many of Christs Ministers since for the same answer X. Whether if S t. Paul were now alive and should preach so diligently in England as he did amongst the Iewes our High Priests the Prelates would not lay the selfsame accusation against him before the Kings Majestie as Ananias the Iewes High Priest did by Tertullus his Orator before Felix and informe his Majestie that they had found this man a pestilent fellow and a moover of sedition among all the Iewes now English men throughout the world or Kingdome and a Ringleader of the sect of the Nazarens the Puritanes as they terme them Acts 24. 5. since they lay the selfsame accusations to the chardge of most Godly Ministers as many late instances evidence XI Whether if Christ himself should preach dayly in some of our Prelates Diocoese as he did in the Temple Jewish Synagogues and S t. Paul preach night and day morning and evening in our Churches as he did at Ephesus against our Prelates inhibitions and the people flocke from all parts and Parishes to heare them as they did to them our Prelates would not forthwith suspend them from preaching and clapp them by the heeles and likewise present and punish all their hearers for goeing out of their owne Parishes where they had no sermons to heare them since they thus use our painefullest Preachers and hearers who imitate their examples contrary to the very doctrine of our Homilies of the right of the Church p. 3. 4. which themselves have subscribed too but refuse to practise XII Whether if our Saviour should now descend in person from heaven and give his precept to our Lord Prelates which once he gave to his Apostles Luke 22. 25. 26.

the Temple was consecrated by Salomon and the Tabernacle and Altar by Moses the one a King the other a temporall Magistrate who consecrated Aaron alsó and bis sonnes and ordained them Priestes neither of them a Bishop or High-Priest therefore if any such consecrations are to be made the King and temporall Magistrats ought to make them not their Lordships as Hospinian prooves at large de Origine Obedirationum c. 1. fol. 104. where hee concluds thus Hoc autem authoritas antiquitus semper fuit Politici Magistratus and that as well among the Pagans as Christians Secondly They had a commaund from God for the one but their Lordships have none for the other Thirdly These Consecrations and purifyings were part of the Ceremoniall Law and so quite abolished by Christ Acts 10. 14. 15. Iohn 4. 20. to 26. 1. Tim. 2. 8. Col. 2. 13. to the end Heb. 8. and 9. therefore not now to be used Fourthly The Temple Tabernacle and Iewish Altars were consecrated and hallowed because Types of Christ of which our Churches Chappell 's and Church-yards are no Types Fiftly The Iewes never consecrated their Synagogues in which they had no Altars nor yet their Burying-places in lieu of which our Churches and Church-yards succeed Therefore if their Lordships will imitate them they must not consecrate Churches Chapples or Altars nor yet have any Altars in our Churches much lesse take 20. 30. or 40. p. for consecrating them as some of them have done it being Simony in the highest degree and nothing due by the Cannon Law but a dinner III. By what Law of the Land can our Bishops Arch-Deacons and their visitors in their visitations take money for procurations of those Churches which they visite not in persone or more money for procurations then will defray their dyet and horse-meat there being no more due by their owne Canon Law and that onely for the Churches they personally visite Or by what Law or Canon can they take money of Ministers or Scholemasters for shewing their letters of order or lycenses to preach or teach schoole or of Church-wardens and others for presentments There being not one penny due by Law or Canon to them much lesse by Patent or graunt from the King And whether may not his Majestie lawfully call all our Arch-Bishops Bishops Arch-Deacons and their visitors to an account for all the money and extorted Fees thus taken by them in their visitations and likewise in their Consistories for probate of wills and Letters of administrations where they take twice thrice yea 4. or 5. times as much as the Statute of 21. H. 8. c. 5. allowes them which is but 5. s. at the highest where the goods amount to 40. p. or vpwards and punish them all in Starre-Chamber for extortion as hee hath lately done many Officers in his temporall Courts since these their execrable extortions taken duering his Highnes raygne will amount at least to 100000. p. as much as the Cleargie gave to King Henry the 8. to exempt themselves from that premunire they had incurred by submitting themselves to Cardinall Woollseyds power legatine IV. Quo Iure Can any D. of the civill Law or other Chancelor Vicar generall Officiall or Commissarie to any Prelate or Arch-Deacon exercise any Ecclesiasticall Iurisdiction vnder them without speciall lycense and Patent from his Majestie or his predecessors Royall it being directly contrary to the expres Statute of 37. H. 8. c. 17. which ordaines that the Kings Majestie his Heires and Successors shall ordaine constitute and depute all Bishops and Arch-Deacons Chauncellors Vicars generall Commissaries Officialls Scribes and Registers or els it gives them no power to execute any Ecclesiasticall Iurisdiction and that by speciall letters Patents as appeares by 1. Eliz. c. 1. and 8. Eliz. c. 1. which Patents they all now wanting cannot exercise any such Iurisdiction and so all their proceedings are meerely voyd and their places in his Majesties disposall to whom they ought to be accountable for all the proffits they have already unjustly received in these their usurped offices V. Whether is it not now meete and convenient for his Majestie to appoint one of his Nobles or some other learned Layman to be his Vice-gerent generall for good and due ministration of Iustice to be bad in all causes and cases touching the Ecclesiasticall jurisdiction and for the godly Reformation and redresse of all errors heresies and abuses in our Church to take place of and sit aboue the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury and all other Lord Bishops in all places according to the Statute of 31. H. 8. c. 10. yet in full force to bridle the pride curbe the insolencies redresse the usurpations Extravagances Innovations and take away the pretended Ius Divinum of our Lordly Prelates directly repugnant to this Act and to 26. H. 8. c. 1. 28. H. 8. c. 10. 31. H. 8. c. 9. 31. H. 8. c. 31. 34. and 35. H. 8. c. 17. 35. H. 8. c. 1. 37. H. 8. c. 17. 1. Ed. 6. c. 2. 1. Eliz. c. 1. 8. Eliz. c. 1. On which I would desire their Lordships to chew the cudd to abate their favour VI. By the Statute of 37. H. 8. c. 6. Every person or persons that shall cut out or maliciously cause to be cut out the tongue of any person or shall maliciously cut off or cause to be cut of the eare or eares of any his Majesties Subjects is to render trible damages to the partie and so forfeite 10. p. sterling for every such an offence to the Kings Majesty and his Heires And 5. H. 4. c. 5. makes it felony for any man maliciously to cut off any mans tongue or put out his eye Whether then our Lord Prelates and their Officers for cutting out our faithfull Ministers tongues and closing up their mouthes that they may not preach Gods word to their people and cutting of some Laymens eares and threatning to have the eares of more that they may not heare Gods word and that maliciously against the Lawes and Statutes of the Realme are not fellons within the latter of these two Acts and Malefactors in the first to render ireble damages to the parties greeved and maymed by them and to make a fine to his Majestie is a question worthy resolution VII Whether these Lordly Prelates that have stood mute for one two or three yeares space and more and never preached nor given answer to these Quaeligres refusing to put themselves to the tryall of God and their Countrey for their Episcopall pretended Ius Divinum and other their fore-mentioned usurpations and exactions upon his Majestie and his Subjects are not by the Common Law of the Land to be pressed for Mutes as other malefactors that stand mute and silent are in like cases VIII Whether if the Apostles were now in England and should preach Jesus Christ dayly in our Temples and from house to house without ceasing as they did Acts 5 42. our Lord Prelates would not presently
