XVI NEW QVÆRES Proposed to our Lord PRÆLATES Printed in the Yeare M. D. CXXXVII To our Holy Ghostly Fathers the Lord Praeliglates of England M. E. sendeth greeting MY Lords temporall farre more then spirituall I have heard you oft cracke exceedingly on your owne dung-hills both of your great learning and likewise of your arch-love and loyaltie yet invisible to his Majestie and his prerogatives Royall as if hee could not be a King unlesse you were Lord Bishops I shall therefore not challendge but beseech your Holynes to give a reall demonstration to the world both of your profound learning and pretended peerlesse zeale and duetifullnes to his Majestie in publishing a speedy full and satisfactory answer to these fewe Questions here propounded to you of purpose to resolve them Your Lordlynesses have had above halfe a yeares time allmost half as much space as most of you take to penn or conne your annuall or bieniall Sermons and yet cannot get them perfect into your heads or hearts into which they seldome sinke but onely into your Bookes and yet have given no resolution to them as people exspected you should or would have done which makes many suspect they have put you to a Non plus either therefore answer them now at this second Somony and publication or els I and thousands more shall proclaime to all the world you cannot doe it and so are open enemies to his Majestie his Imperiall Crowne Lawes Subjects and in severall premunires for all you beare your heads so high like petty Kings and Popes Yea I dare pronounce you perjured to his Majestie in the highest degree by infringing your oathes of Supremacie so oft reiterated And as you are the first men inioyned to take this oath by the Statute of 1. Eliz. c. 1. because the likelyest of all others to violate it so you are more guilty of the frequent open and professed violation thereof then all other his Majesties subjects put together who seldome infringe this oath but either by your coaction or occasioning of them by force or flatery to breake it be sure you now give a fatherly satisfactory compleat answer to them with speed at your utmost perills and lay all other worldly imployments and affaires aside as you have layed preaching by long agoe till you have done it els these Quaeligres will proove fatall to your Popedomes Episcopalities Consistories Visitations and elegall Ecclesiasticall Iurisdictions and proceedings and so I commit you to your studies for the present as you no doubt in imitation of your Saviour Christ and his Apostles who had not any Pursevaunts Iaylors Messengers and Catch-poales attending at their heeles upon every occasion and many Jaoles and Prisons to commit poore Christians and Ministers too at their pleasure as your Lordships their Successors now have though wee read not of them in any Author commit others to your prisons and dungeons and would doe me no doubt if you could catch me napping as Mose did his Mare even for presuming to propound these questions to you in the behalf of my Soveraigne and Countrey M. E. 16. New Quaeligres proposed to our Lord Praeliglates I. QUO IURE Can our Arch-Bishops Bishops and their Officialls graunt Lycenses for money to any of his Majesties Subjects to marry without asking Banes it being directly contrary to the Statutes of 2. 3. Ed. 6. c. 21. 5. 6. Ed. 6. c. 12. And to the Rubricke before the forme of solemnization of Matrimony in the Common-prayer booke confirmed by Parliament 1. Eliz. c. 2. which prescribes thus First that the Banes must be asked three severall Sundayes or Holy-dayes in the time of service the people being present after the accustomed manner and if the persons that should be marryed dwell in divers Parishes the Banes must be asked in both Parishes and the Curate of the one Parish shall not solemnize Matrimony betweene them without a Certificate of the Banes being thrice asked from the Curate of the other Parish Whether if Marriage be a Sacrament as the Papists hold who yet deny it as an unholy-thing to all their holy Cleargie-men and religious persons a strange contradiction or an Ecclesiasticall thing as our Praeliglates deeme it though common to pagans and some kind of fowles and beasts and so truely civill and naturall rather then Ecclesiasticall if it be not Symony in them to sell Licenses and take money for Marriages and whether his Majestie who can onely dispence with Lawes and this Rubricke in the Common-prayer Booke it being a chiefe branch of his Prerogative Royall may not justly call all our Praeliglates and their Officers to an account for all the money taken for such Licenses and also for Lycenses to marry in prohibited times as they terme them as meere oppressions and device to get money there being no Law of the Realme nor Canon of our Church prohibiting marriages in those or any other seasons whatsoever which are alwayes free and lawfull for marriages aswel as for Christnings and Burialls c. from 21. Iacob till now which money amounts at least to 40000. p. or more they having no right or title to it by any Law or Patent extant II. By what Law can our Praeliglates as now they begin to doe consecrate Churches Chapples or Church-yards as if they were unholy and common places before unfit to be prayed in contrary to Acts 10. 14. 15. 1. Tim. 2. 8. Iohn 4. 20. to 25. contrary to the practise of Christ and his Apostles who consecrated no Churches or Church-yards and gave no such commission to Bishops or any others to doe it but men together in private houses and unconsecrated places to receive the Sacraments and preach Gods word Acts 2. 46. c. 5. 42. c. 20. 7. 8. 9. c. 18. 7. 11. c. 19. 9. 10. c. 28. 30. 31. Rom. 16. 5. 1. Cor. 16. 19. Col. 4. 15. Philem. 2. Marke 14. 12. to 27. Luke 22. 16. to 24. contrary to the practise of the primitive Christians for above 300. yeares after Christ as the third part of the Homilie against the perill of Idolatry p. 66. 67. resolves Contrary to the Statute of 15. R. 2. c. 5. which adjudgeth it Mortmaine and contrary to the Statute of 3. and 4. Ed. 6. c. 10. 1. Eliz. c. 2. 8. Eliz. c. 1. which abolisheth and inhibites all other Rites Ceremonies and formes of consecration with all Popish Ceremonies and Pontificalls wherein the manner of consecrating Churches Chappell 's and Church-yards is prescribed but such as are onely prescribed in the Bookes of Common-prayer and ordination in which there is not one syllable of consecrating Churches Chappell 's or Church-yards or any one Statute of the Realme or Canon of our Church since the beginning of Reformation prescribing or allowing it If they say that the Temple at Jerusalem was dedicated and that the Tabernacle and Altar among the Jewes was also consecrated Ergo our Churches Chappell 's and Church-yards must be consecrated by their Lordships I answer First That
