Careli 1626. which also remaines upon your Records as followeth MARCH 1626. Articles exhibited by the Commons in Parlament against RICHARD MOVNTAGV Clerke THat hee the said Richard Mountague in or about the 21th yeare of the raigne of our late Soveraigne King Iames of famous memorie hath caused to be printed and in his name to bee published one booke called An answere to the late Gagger of Protestants and in and about the 22th yeare of the same King hee caused to be printed and published one other booke intituled A Treatise of the Invocation of Saints And likewise in that first yere of his Majesties Raigne that now is he procured to bee printed and in his name to bee published an other booke intituled An appeale to Caesar in everie of which bookes hee hath maintained and affirmed some doctrines contrary or repugnant to the Articles wherevpon it was agreed by the Archbishops and byshops of both Provinces and the Whole Clergie in the convecation holden at London in the yeare of our Lord God 1562. according to the computation of the Church of England fer avoyding diversicy of opinions and for establishing consent touching true Religion All which appeares in the places hereafter mentioned and in diuers other places and passages of the same bookes and by his so doing hath broken the Lawes and Statutes of this Realme in that case provided and very much disturbed both the peace of the Church and Common-wealth 1 Wheras in the 35th Article of the Articles aboue-mentioned it is declared That the second booke of HOmilies doth containe a godly and wholesome doctrine In the 16th Homily of which booke it is determined That the Church of Rome as it is present and hath beene for the space of 900. yeares and odde is so farre voyd from the nature of a true Church that nothing can bee more Hee the said Richard Mountague in severall places of his said booke called Gagg pag. App. p. 136. The Answere to the Gagger and in his other booke called the Appeale doth advisedly maintaine and affirme that the Church of Rome is and euer was a true Church since it was a Church 2 Whereas in the same Homily it is likewise declared that the Church of Rome is not built vpon the foundation of the Prophets and Apostles and in the 28th Article of the said Articles that Transubstantiation overthroweth the nature of a Sacrament And in the 25th of the same Articles That fiue other reputed Sacraments of the Church of Rome are not to bee accompted Sacraments yet contrary and repugnant heerevnto hee the said Richard Mountague doth maintaine and affirme in his booke aforesaid called Gag pag. 50 The Answere to the Gagger That the Church of Rome hath ever remained firme vpon the same foundation of Sacraments and doctrine instituted by God 3 In the 19th of the same Articles it is further determined that the Church of Rome hath erred not onely in their living and manner of Ceremonies but also in matters of faith hee the said Richard Mountague speaking of those points which belong to faith and manners hope and Charitie doth in the same Booke called the Gagger Gagg p. 14. affirme and maintaine That none of these are contreverted inter partes meaning the Protestants and the Papists And notwithstanding That in the 31th Article it is resolved That the Sacrifices of Moses in which as is commonly said That the Priest did offer Christ for the quicke and the dead to hane remission of paine and guilt too are blasphemous fables and dangerous deceipts This being one of the points controverted betweene the Church of England and the Church of Rome The said Richard Mountague in his booke called the Gagger doth affirme and maintaine Gagg p 14. That the controverted points are of a lesse and inferior Allay Of them a may man be ignorant without any danger of his soule at all A man may resolue or oppose this or that way within perill of perishing for ever 4. Whereas in the second Homily entituled against perill of Idolatry contained in the foresaid booke of HOmilies approved by the 37th Article aforementioned it is declared That Images teach no good lesson neither of good nor godlinesse but all errour and wickednesse Hee the said Richard in the booke aforesaid Gag p. 300. called the Answere to the late Gagger doth affirme and maintaine That Images may be vsed for the instruction of the ignorant and exitation of Devotion 5 That in the same Homily it is plainly expressed That the attributing the defence of certaine Countries to Saints is a spoyling God of his honour And that such Saints are but as Dij Tutelares of the Gentile Idolatours TLhe said Richard ountague hath notwithstanding in the Booke afore mentioned entituled Inv. p. 107. A Treatise concerning the Invocation of Saints affirmed and maintained That Saints haue not onely a memorie but a more peculiar charge of their friends And that it may bee admitted that some Saints haue a peculiar patronage 108. Custody protection and power 109. as Angels also haue over certaine persons and Countries by especiall deputation And that it is no impietie so to beleeue Note that hee saith in his Appeale 108. and 109. Shew me that the Saints haue knowledge of vs here And J will not doubt to pray to them So that hence it wil be evident That Mountagu holds it lawfull to pray to Saints 6 Whereas in the 17th of the said Articles it is resolved That God hath constantly decreed by his Councell secret to vs to deliver from curse and damnation Those whom hee hath chosen in Christ out of mankind and to bring them by Christ to everlasting salvation Wherefore they which bee indued with so excellent a benefit of God bee called according to Gods purpose working in due season They by grace obey the calling they bee justified freely walke religiously in good works and at length by Gods mercy attaine to everlasting felicitie Hee the said Richard Mountague in the booke aforesaid called the Appcale App. p. 30. doth maintaine and affirme that men justified may fall away and depart from that state which once they had they may rise againe and become new men possible but not certaine nor necessarie And the better to countenance this his opinion hee hath in the said Booke wilfully added falsified and changed divers words of the 16th of the Articles afore-mentioned And divers other words both in the Booke of HOmilyes as in the Booke of Common Prayer App. p. 29.31 32.35 And all the same places so misrecyted and changed hee doth alledge in his said booke called the Appeale endeauouring thereby to lay a most wicked and malicious scandall upon the Church

of England as if it did herein differ from the Reformed Churches of Ireland and from the Reformed Churches beyond the Seas and did consent to those pernicious Errors which are commonly called Arminianisme and which the late famous Princesse Queene Elizabeth and King James of happy memorie did so piously and diligently labor to suppresse 2 That hee the said Richard Mountague contrary to his dutie and allegiance hath endeavoured to rayse great factions and divisions in this Common-weale by casting the odious and scandalous name of Puritans vpon such of his Majesties loving subjects as conforme themselues to the doctrine and Ceremonies of the Church of England vnder that name laying vpon them divers false and malicious imputations so to bring them into Iealousie and displeasure with his most excellent Majestie and into reproach and ignominie with the rest of the people to the great danger of sedition and disturbance in the State if it bee not timely prevented 3. The scope and end of the said Richard Mountague in the Bookes aforementioned is to giue incouragement to Poperie and to withdraw his Majesties subjects from the true Religion established to the Roman Superstition and consequently to be reconciled to the Sea of Rome All which hee laboureth by subtill and cunning wayes whereby Gods true Religion hath beene much scandalized Those mischiefes introduced which the wisedome of many Lawes hath endeavoured to prevent the great perill and hazard of our Soveraigne Lord the King and of all his Dominions and loving Subjects 4. That the aforesaid Richard Mountague hath inserted into the booke aforesaid called the Appeale divers passages dishonourable to the late King his Majesties Father of famous memorie full of bitternesse rayling and injurious speeches to other persons disgracefull and contemptuous to many worthy Divines both of this Church of England and of other reformed Churches beyond the Seas Impious and prophane in scoffing at Preaching meditating conferring Pulpits Lectures Bibles and all shew of Religion All which doe aggravate his former offences as having proceeded from malicious and invenomed hate against the peace of this Church and sinceritie of the Reformed Religion publiquely professed and by Lawes established in this Kingdome All which offences being to the high dishonour of Almightie God and of most mischievous effect and consequence against the good of his Church and Common Weale of England and of other his Majesties Realmes and Dominions The Commons assembled in Parlament doe hereby pray that the said Richard Mountagu may bee punished according to his demerits in such exemplary manner as may deterre others from attempting so presumptuously to disturbe the Peace of Church and State and that the Bookes aforesaid may be supprest and burnt And thus farre O worthy House your religious charge in your Articles exhibited March 1626. But by the fatall dissolution of those first and second Parlaments that Act and that your Charge in those your Articles slept untill the last Parlament called or summoned to begin in March and continued untill Iuly 1628. During which sitting That your charge in those your Articles was awakened and in agitation against him as wee heard But by reason of other matters of high consequence and the suddaine Prorogation of that Parlament It againe fell asleepe Now upon the ending of that Session and breaking vp of the House And Byshop Carleton Mountagu's learned Diocesan and Antagonist dying during the sitting of the House immediately after Mountagu by mediation of his potent Patron alijsque vijs ac modis got his Majesties grant of the Byshopricke of Chichester and soone after sued out as it seemes his Congedelier for the same Byshopricke and in August following according to custome Proclamation was was made at St. Mary le Bow Church-dore in these very words following All manner of Persons that can or will object against the Election of the Right Worshipfull Mr. Richard Mountagu Bachesour of Diuinitie and Parson of Petworth Elected Lord Bishop of Chichester the forme of his Election or the partie Elected Let them now speake and object in due forme of Law and they shall bee heard otherwise they shall be precluded Vpon which Proclamation 7 or 8. dayes before the day of Confirmation of the said elected Byshop and all manner of men beeing thereby invited to object it pleased God to stirre up the heart of one honest Christian man to take Councell and get objections drawne by an ancient Doctour of the Arches which Obiections were extracted out of the forenamed Articles in Parlament And upon Fryday the 22. of August when the aforesaid Elect Byshop came to Bow-Church to be Confirmed and the aforesaid Proclamation was againe by the Beadle of the Arches audibly 3. times pronounced in the Church one Mr. Iones by name an honest and auncient Professour of Religion did obiect whereof wee hope this sacred Senate is already possest and presented the Obiections in writing drawne as is before said by a Doctour of the Arches unto Doctour Rives then substituted Iudge for the busineffe and said with an audible voyce 3. times I object against him and heere are my objections in due forme of Law The Copie of which his Obiections is heere also preented unto your view which chiefly concerneth you the Worthies of the House of Commons because they were drawne out of your owne former Charge and it is Verbatim as followeth 22o.
