learned man And it would be a generous act and highly conducive to the honor of Mr. Noy's memory as well as the Kings and Churches interest if such Treasures were communicated to the benefit of all his Majesties Subjects which are now only useful to some single persons Neither was this all the trouble that Dr. Heylyn met with at this â—ime For some enemies then living added to the sorrow and disturbance that he had for his departed Friend The grievances which the Collegiate Church of Westminster suffered under the Government of Iohn Lord Bishop of Lincoln then Commendatory-Dean thereof became so intolerable that our Doctor was constrained for the common safety of that Foundation to draw up certain Articles no less than 36. against his Lordship by way of charge which he communicated to Dr. Thomas Wilson Dr. Gabriel Moore and Dr. Ludovicus Wemmys Prebendaries of the said Church who embarqu'd themselves in the same bottom with him and resolved to make complaint by way of Petition which was drawn up and presented to the King by all four together in the Withdrawing-Chamber at Whitehal March 31. 1634. And a Commission was issued out thereupon to the Archbishops of Centerbury and York the Earl of Manchester Lord Privy-Seal Earl of Portland Lord high Treasurer the Lord Bishop of London Lord Cottington and the two Secretaries of State viz. Sir Iohn Coke and Sir Francis Windebank authorizing them to hold a Visitation of the Church of Westminster to examine particular charges made against Iohn Lord Bishop of Lincoln and to redress such Grievances and Pressures as the Prebendaries of the said Church suffered by his Mis-government The Articles were returned to Dr. Heylyn to be put in Latine and the Commission bore date April 20. But the whole thing lay dormant till December 1635. at which time the Bishop began again to rage in his Province of Westminster dispossessing the Prebendaries of their Seats neglecting to call the Chapter to pass accounts conferring Orders in the said Church within the space of a month permitting a Benefice in the gift of the said Church and lying within his Diocess to be lapsed unto himself with many other Grievances which caused the forementioned Prebendaries to present a second Petition to his Majesty Humbly beseeching him to take the ruinous and desperate estate of the said Church into his Princely consideration as 't is worded in the Petition it self Upon which the former Commission was revived and delivered to the Lords whom it did concern and a Citation fixed upon the Church-doors of Westminster accordingly Upon Ianuary 25. they were warned by the Sub-Dean to meet the Bishop in Ierusalem-Chamber where amongst other matters his Lordship desired to know what those things were that were amiss that so he might presently redress them To whom Dr. Heylyn replied That seeing they had put the business into his Majesties hands it would ill become them to take it out of his into their own Ian. 27. both parties met before the Lords in the Inner Star-Chamber where the Commission was tendred and accepted and the whole business put into a methodical course each following Monday being appointed for the day of hearing till the whole was concluded Feb. 1. The Commissioners with the Plaintiffs and Defendant met in the Council-Chamber at Whitehal where it was ordered that the Plaintiffs should be called by the name of Prebendaries-Supplicant That they should be admitted upon Oath as Witnesses That they should have a sight of all Registers Records Books of Accounts c. That the first business that they should proceed in should be that of the Seat because that made the breach or difference more visible and offensive to the world than those matters that were more private and domestick and finally that the Prebendaries-Supplicant should have an Advocate who should plead their Cause defend their Rights and represent their Grievances And the person that they unanimously made choice of was Dr. Peter Heylyn Feb. 8. the Dean put in his Plea about the Seat or great Pew under Richard the II. and the Advocate being appointed by the Prebendaries-Supplicant to speak in the defence of their common Interest in the Seat now controverted and of which the Bishop of Lincoln had most disgracefully dispoâ—sessed them he made choice to represent to the Lord Commissioners 1. Their Original Right 2. Their Derivative Right and lastly their Possessory Right Their Original Right he proved from the Charter of their Foundation from Queen Elizabeth their Foundress who declared by Act of Parliament made in the first year of her Reign the Abbey of St. Peter in Westminster fell into her hands and that being seized thereof and of all the Lands thereunto belonging she did by her Letters Patents erect the said dissolved Abbey into a Collegiate Church consisting of a Dean and twelve Prebendaries and that the said Dean and Prebendaries should be both in re nomine unum corpus corporatum one only Body Politick that they should have a perpetual Succession a Common Seal and that they should Call Plead and be Impleaded by the name of the Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St. Peter in Westminster So that by this Donation the Dean hath no propriety in the said Church his own Stall excepted but is joynt-Owner with the Prebendaries of the Site and Soil Nor did the Queen bestow upon them the Church alone but bestowed it joyntly upon them una cum omnibus antiquis privilegiis libertatibus ac liberis consuetudinibus and those to be enjoyned in as full a manner as ever tho Abbot and Convent did before enjoy the same By which it appears that all the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Church of Westminster is vested joyntly in the Dean and Chapter and not in the Dean alone For as the Dean and Chapter are one Body so they make one Ordinary and as one Ordinary have a common and joynt Power to dispose of Seats Their Derivative Right he proved from their Original Right For the Queen giving the Dean and Prebendaries with their Successors all Rights Possessions Privileges and Immunities they need only to prove their Succession in the Church of St. Peter and then whatever Right was in their Predecessors Original must be on them derived As for their Possessory Right he desired their Lordships pardon if he should fail in the proof of it For the Book of the Chapter-Acts was missing which was very necessary in order to it And although one offered to take his Oath that the Bishop of Lincoln never saw it yet the Oath was so desperate that either the person who offered to take it had an hand in making away the Book or else that he durst swear whatever the Bishop of Lincoln said or asserted But being deprived of that Evidence he proceeded to Testimony where he did not make use of such Witnesses as were summoned by the Dean viz. Colâ—ege-Servants and Tenants who were obnoxious to him but indifferent men that were no way
execution there being intended an English Pontifical which was to contain the Form and Manner of the Coronation of King Charles I. and to serve as a standing Rule to succeeding Ages on the like occasions Another Form to be observed by all Archbishops and Bishops for consecrating Churches Church-yards and Chappels And a third for reconciling such Penitents as either had done open Pennance or had revolted from the Faith of Christ to the Law of Mahomet Which three together with the Form of Confirmation and that of ordering Bishops Priests and Deacons which were then in force were to make up the whole Body of the Book intended But the troubles of the times increasing it was thought expedient to defer the prosecution of it till a fitter conjuncture And yet notwithstanding all the storms that were then rising this excellent person went through the Book of Articles the compiling of which gave no obstruction to him from attending the service of the Committee upon all occasions And for the better Authorizing of the Articles he placed before every one of them in the Margin the Canon Rubrick Law Injunction or other Authentick Evidence upon which they were grounded Which being finished were by him openly read in the House and by the House approved and passed without any alteration only that exegatical or explanatory clause in the fourth Article of the fourth Chapter touching the reading of the Communion-Service at the Lords Table was desired by some to be omitted which was done accordingly Finally it was Dr. Heylyn who proposed a Canon for enjoyning the said Book to be only used in Parochial Visitations for the better settling of Uniformity in the outward Government and Administration of the Church and for preventing of such just Grievances as might be laid upon the Church-Wardens and other sworn men by any impertinent inconvenient or illegal Enquiries in the Articles for Ecclesiastical Visitations Neither were these the only Fruits of his labours and travels in this business there being six Subsidies granted to the King and the Bishops and Clergy in Convocation upon the 20th of May received his Majesties Letters Sealed with his Royal Signet and attested by his Sign Manual which required and authorized them to proceed in making Synodical Constitutions for levying of those Subsidies which had been before granted And this was easily done there being nothing to be altered but the changing of the name of Subsidy into that of Benevolence Friday May 29. the Canons were formally subscribed unto by the Bishops and Clergy no one dissenting except the Bishop of Glocester who died in the Communion of the Roman Church and was all that part of his life in which he revolted from the Church of England a dear Favourite and Servant of Oliver Cromwel unto whom he dedicated some of his Books for which he was voted worthy of Suspension by the Convocation and was accordingly Suspended by the Archbishop of Canterbury Which being done the Convocation was dissolved Proceed we now from the Active to the more Passive part of Dr. Heyly's life For the Long Parliament the Churches as well as the Kings Scourge began to sit at Westminster and a general Rumor was spread both in City and Country that our Doctor being conscious to himself of many Crimes durst not stand the brunt of their displeasure and therefore had made use of his heels as his best weapons of defence being run away out of a fear and foresight of an approaching storm When these rumors were raised he was at his Parsonage of Alresford from whence he hastened with all conveniâ—nt speed confuting the Calumny by shewing himself the very next day after his coming to London in his Gown and Tippet in Westminster-Hall And upon a Vote passed in the House of Lords that no Bishop should be of the Committee for the Preparatory Examinations in the Cause of the Earl of Strafford under colour that they were excluded from acting in it by some antient Canons as in cause of Blood our learned Divine did thereupon draw up a brief Discourse entituled De jure Paritatis Episcoporum now inserted in the Re-printed Volume of his Works which he presented unto many of the Bishops to assert all their Rights of Peerage and this of being of that Committee among the rest which either by Law or antient custom did belong unto them The Parliament began their Session Novemb. 3. 1640. and upon the 9th of December following upon the Complaint of Mr. Pryn our Doctor was called before the Committee of the Courts of Justice who accosted him with that fierce fury that no one could have withstood the Torrent but one whose Soul was fortified with Innocence equal to his Courage The Crime objected against him was that he had been a subservient Instrument under the Archbishop of Canterbury all the sufferings of Mr. Pryn having read the Histriomastix out of which he had furnished the Lords of the Council and many other persons with matter to proceed against its Author But our Doctor made a bold and just Defence for himself telling his Accusers That the Task was imposed upon him by Royal Authority which he would readily prove if they would have so much patience as to allow him time for that purpose Great hopes they had to squeeze something out of him concerning his being engaged in it by the Archbishop but he was too wary to be ensnared by any of their Artifices and being faithful to his Friend and Patron was kept four days under Examination suffering for the two first the brutish Rage of the People more perhaps than St. Paul did at Ephesus for that blessed man did not adventure himself amongst those Savages But our poor Doctor was tossed up and down by the fury of an ungovern'd multitude and railed at as he passed through them by their leud and ungoverned tongues But God who sets bounds to the Waves of the proud Ocean rebuked their rage and rescued him from their malice But alas what civility can be expected from the ill-bred Rabble unto Clergy-men when they themselves like the Eagle in the Greek Apologue wound one another with Arrows feathered with their own Plumes For four days after he had received order to appear before the Committee he preach'd his turn in the Abbey at Westminster and in the midst of his Sermon was insufferably affronted by the Bishop of Lincoln who knocking the Pulpit with his Staff cried out aloud No more of that Point No more of that Point Peter This happened to the poor man in very ill circumstances for it occasioned new clamours and animated his enemies to proceed on with greater violence against him But notwithstanding all their united malice he held out bravely sending the whole passage of his Sermon as he designed to Preach it both to his Friends at Court and Enemies in Parliament and taking Sir Robert Filmore with some other Gentlemen that were his Auditors out of the Church along with him to his House where he immediately sealed
Port or lofty looks or in all or in none Admitting the most and worst you can of these particulars would you have men that shine in a higher Orb move in a lower Sphere than that in which God has placed them Or being rank'd in Order and Degree about you would you not have them keep that distance which belongs to their Places Or because you affect a Parity in the Church would you have all men brought to the same Level with your self without admitting Sub and Supra in the Scale of Government If they were your Fathers in God why did not you look upon them with such reverence as becomes Children If your Superiors in the Lord why did not you yield them that subjection which was due unto them If fix'd in Place and Power above you by the Laws of the Land only and no more than so why did not you give obedience to those Laws under which you lived and by which you were to be directed Take heed I beseech you Mr. Baxter that more Spiritual Pride be not found in that heart of yours than ever you found worldly and external Pride in any of my Lords the â—â—â—hops and that you do not trample on them with greater insolence Calco platonis Fastum sed majori Fastu as you know who said in these unfortunate days of their Calamity than ever they expressed toward any in the time of their Glory Were it my case as it is yours I would not for ten thousand worlds depart this life before I had obtained their pardon and given satisfaction to the world for these horrible Scandals 3. As for those persons that were heartily affected with Episcopacy and dissatisfied with the extinction of an Order so sacred and venerable there was this way found out to quiet their diâ—contents viz. to persuade them that Bishops and Presbyters were of equivolent importance and comprehended under the same name in the Holy Scriptures But grant says this their Champion that they be so who that pretends to Logick can dispute so lamely as from a Community of names to infer an Identity or Sameness in the thing so named Kings are called Gods in Holy Scripture and God does frequently call himself by the name of King yet if a man should thence infer that from this Community of names there arises an Identity or Sameness between God and the King he might worthily be condemned for so great a Blasphemer St. Peter calls our Saviour Christ by the name of Bishop and himself a Presbyter or Priest or an Elder as we unhandsomly read it yet were it a sorry piece of Logick to conclude from hence that there is no distinction between an Apostle and an Elder the Prince of the Apostles and a simple Presbyter or between Christ the Supreme Pastor of his Church and every ordinary Bishop Lastly take it for granted that Bishops have an Identity or Sameness in Name Office Ordination and Qualification with Presbyters it will not follow convertibly that Presbyters have the like Identity or Sameness of Qualification Ordination Name and Office which the Bishop hath My reason is because a Bishop being first Regularly and Canonically to be made a Priest before he take the Order and Degree of a Bishop hath in him all the Qualifications the Ordination Name and Office which a Presbyter has and something further superadded as well in point of Order and Iurisdiction which every Presbyter hath not So that altho every Bishop be a Priest or Presbyter yet every Presbyter is not a Bishop To make this clear by an example in the Civil Government When Sir Robert Cecil Knight and principal Secretary of State was made first Earl of Salisbury and then Lord Treasurer continuing Knight and Secretary as he was before it might be said that he had an Identity or Sameness in Name Office Order and Qualification with Sir Iohn Herbert the other Secretary yet this could not be said reciprocally of Sir Iohn Herbert because there was something superadded to Sir Robert Cecil viz. the Dignity of an Earl and the Office of Lord Treasurer which the other had not So true is that of Lactantius Adeo argumenta ex absurdo petita ineptos habent exitus It is ordinary for Arguments built upon weak grounds to have worse Conclusions And a better Instance cannot be given of this than in the Retortion that Mr. Selden made to one in the House of Commons who disputed against the Divine Right of Episcopacy His argument was this 1. That Bishops are Iure Divino is of Question 2. That Archbishops are not Iure Divino is out of Question 3. That Ministers are Iure Divino there is no Question Now if Bishops which are questioned whether Iure Divino shall Suspend Ministers which are Iure Divino I leave it to you Mr. Speaker Which Mr. Selden whether with greater Wit or Scorn is hard to say thus retorted on him 1. That the Convocation is Iure Divino is a Question 2. That Parliaments are not Iure Divino is out of Question 3. That Religion is Iure Divino is no Question Now Mr. Speaker that the Convocation which is questioned whether Iure Divino and Parliaments which out of Question are not Iure Divino should meddle with Religion which questionless is Iure Divino I leave to you Mr. Speaker There are some other Points relating to Episcopacy which Dr. Heylyn has long time since cleared and determined And if some of our pretending States-men had considered and read what was written upon those Subjects their time and pains would have been more profitably spent to the honor and security of this Church and Kingdom than in raising doubts and scruples which had long before been so clearly stated and resolved For 1. As for Bishops sitting in Parliament to Vote in Causes of Blood and Death this the Doctor evinced not only in the Tract entituled De Iure paritatis Episcoporum but in his Observations upon Mr. L'Estrange's History where he says that altho the ancient Canons disable Bishops from Sentencing any man to Death yet they do not from being Aâ—sistants in such cases from taking Examinations hearing Depositions of Witnesses or giving Counsel in such matters as they saw occasion The Bishops sitting as Peers in the English Parliament were never excluded from the Earl of Strafford's Trial from any such Assistances as by their Gravity and Learning and other Abilities they were enabled to give in any dark and difficult business tho of Blood and Death which were brought before them 2. With the like solid reasoning the Doctor has evinced the Bishops to be one of the Three Estates For not to mention what he says upon this Argument in his Stumbling-Block of Disobedience That they have their Vote in Parliament as a Third Estate not in capacity of Temporal Barons altho they are so as Mr. Selden evinces and an Act of Parliament Stat. 25. Edw. III. will evidently appear from these following Reasons For
