assurances from the Mufti that any Rebellion shall be raised there speedily Come we now to the grand Query Whither matters are like to last at the same rate they are now at in Danmark p. 264. Our Author would willingly have it resolv'd in the Negative and gives important reasons why it should be so And more important why it should not be so Let us see his self-encounter at pro and con and the mighty tumults and bustles raised in our Authors fallacious Judgment p. 264. First That natural Love of Liberty eminent in the antient Goths and Vandals perswade him to think of a change ib. But alas the Love of Liberty which was that of Knight ●rrantry and Rambling to seek their Fortunes in foreign Countries being now quite extinct in the North they find sufficient conveniencies at home where Obedience to their Prince secures their Ease and is preferr'd by them before those brisk Traverses as he calls them which commotions would occasion p. 267. So Love of Liberty might do something but that Duty prevails Well but again may not the freshness and newness of this alteration of their condition produce an alteration in the Government p. 265. Why truly no because he finds it to have little or no influence upon the people who are wonderfully well pleas'd both with one and t'other So that if the Father should propose any methods of change to his Son he would not be heard by him with patience p● 268. Bu●● however to try again What should hinder the Swedes who have their Eye upon Danmark from introducing Liberty p. 266. Why truly they use their own Subjects so ill and there is such a ●●●t hatred betwixt these two Nations that the Danes are resolv'd to keep them out as long as they are able p. 2●8 The last hope then is in the numerousness of the Royal Family for there being four Princes it will be rare if Concord be maintained among them all p. 266. And thence something in favour of Liberty might arise 'T is a thousand pities that matters should not be brought to this pass But such is the Wickedness of this cursed Soil that those Jealousies which use to reign in the Families of Princes are not so common nor fatal in these parts as elsewhere p. 270. Besides there is a terrible thing call'd Unity of Religion p. 268. which spoils all manner of hopes and cuts away the very root of Sedition So then the sum of the grand controversy amounts to this That the Government of Danmark might be shaken were it not supported by a firm security from foreign attempts by a mutual concord in the Royal Family by the Ease Content Loyalty and Religion of the Subject in a word by all the Blessings and Cements which make Governments happy and consequently will render this of Danmark fixt and durable Since nothing hitherto will do the work what if this Author could get his Account translated into the Danish Tongue might not that when publisht have so blessed an effect as to occasion a change not only in their Condition but also in their Masters Why truly whatever his aim may have been nearer home and though it has been printed in English yet he has not perswaded his Countrymen to endeavour an alteration in either of theirs So that if the present State of both Kingdoms be fixt and durable then his Book poor Gentleman has lost its design and he his labour FINIS Books Printed for and sold by Tho Bennet at the Half Moon in St. Pauls Church-yard FOLIO's Athenae Oxonienses Or an exact History of all the Writers and Bishops who have had their Education in the University of Oxford from 1500. to the end of 1690.

in this turbulent and divided State of the Church of Christ For who knows but this Union might draw another of more consequence after it between all the rest who call themselves Protestants and those more strictly so viz. of the Confession of Ansburg who first gave us that name which we so much glory in and what a fatal blow this would be to Popery any rational man will easily imagine For the Church of Danmark is far from deserving the Character this Author gives it p. 252. That the Calvinist is ●●●ed by them as much as the Papist and the reason they give is because he is against absolute Monarchy and has a resisting Principle They will confess they do not like his resisting Principle and this makes a greater distance between them However they think it not agreeable to common Charity to hate either Calvinist or Papist As to their Errors they think the Papists to have several that are fundamental and more in number than the Calvinist whom they have a respect for as having jointly protested against the Antichrist of Rome The Church of Danmark think themselves likewise wrong'd when he says p. 253. That they keep the Mob in awe by Confession which they retain of the Romish Church as well as Crucifixes and other Ceremonies For their Confession is far from the Auricular Confession and Enumeration of all sins made by the Papists For they retain only that Confession us'd in the Primitive Church and which other Protestants wish for For by that the Minister can excite and exhort the Communicants to a right Penitence and there as our Exhortation to the Communion tells us of the Church of England The Penitent may open his grief to a discreet and sober Minister of God's word that he may receive the benefit of Absolution together with Ghostly Councel and advice to the quieting of his Conscience and avoiding of all scruple and doubtfulness In like manner the Danes have Crucifixes and other Historical Pictures out of the Bible in their Churches but they are far from making any idol ●●●ous or superstitious use of them They use them as Ornaments and Remembrances only nor do they think because a Papist adores a Crucifix that a Lutheran must consequently be so afraid of one as not to endure to look upon it So likewise is it to be understood of the other Ceremonies which they have kept not from the Romish Church but innocent Ceremonies which the Romish Church have abused they have made a right use of and are here in the same case with the Church of England He says that the Splendor and Revenues of the Church of England are the principal Virtues they admire in us p. 252. The Church of England has lost so much of its Revenues as that it is not at present to be envied for them Besides I never found Splendor or Revenues recounted as Virtues in Aristotle's Ethicks But I have found Prudence Fortitude c. among the Virtues and for these the Danish Church may admire it but more especially for its purity in Doctrine and it s well ordered Government and Discipline It is true that the Church of England has better Revenues than that of Danmark for at the Reformation the King and States laid almost all the Ecclesiastical Revenues to the Crown which at that very time Luther complain'd of to King Christian the Third However the Ecclesiasticks in Danmark are in no low condition for they live very well and honourably as any Gentleman can define Every Minister lives in his Pa●ish and has one two three or more neighbouring Churches under his Care which if he cannot take care of alone he does it by one or more Assistants call'd Chaplains which resemble our English Deacons He tells us p. 251. That the Clergy are entirely dependant upon the Crown as if their Salary was wholly given them by the King But afterwards it seems p. 252 and 253. The best subsistance of the Priests is the voluntary Benevolence of the Mob So that their flattery of the Court p. 252. ought if this were true to be turned into a Flattery of the Mob whose Vices notwithstanding as well as those of Persons of the highest Quality they reprehend with great freedom Ibid. And yet their Churches are much frequented p. 91. As to the subsistance of the Ministers in Danmark it is partly certain as Tithes c. as in England partly uncertain as Offerings at the three great Festivals in the Year Marriages Burials c. and they are very liberally provided for without cultivating the Mobs good Opinion p. 253. As the Inferior Clergy are thus provided for so are the Superior such as the Bishops Professors of Divinity c. to a greater degree Concerning these he tells us p 153. That there are Six Superintendants in Danmark who take it very kindly to be call'd Bishops and my Lord viz. One in Sealand One in Funen Four in Jutland and Four in Norway These have no Temporalities keep no Ecclesiastical Courts have no Cathedrals with Prebends c. but are only Primi inter pares having the rank above the inferior Clergy of the Province 1. When he enumerated the Bishops he might have mentioned those two more who were in ●●●nd 2. That the Danish Bishops should take it kindly to be called My Lord is a very curious remark they have not so often occasion to converse with Englishmen and the Danish Tongue has no word that properly answers to the English words My Lord. Then they have no reason to refuse being called Bishops since the King calls them so in the Danish Law and they have all Episcopal Jurisdiction It is true that in Danmark at the Reformation none of the P●pish Bishops as many in Sweden did would embrace it but all because of their errors were deposed and then the new Superintendents according to Luthers institution in Germany were ordained by Dr. Bugenhagen from Wittenberg And they did as their Successors at present do use and exercise in ecclesiastical things the same Power and Jurisdiction that any Bishop does in England or Sweden 3. If by Temporalities he means Baronies the Danish Bishops have none of them But that they have Ecclesiastical Courts is certain and an account has before been given of them 4. Though Canons Prebends and Subdeans are not as in England yet in each Cathedral Church for such there is in every Diocese the Bishop has four five or more of the chief Clergy for his Assistants in the Chapter and they are called Canonici or Capitulares 5. In Honour the Bishops may be only Primi inter pares but in Jurisdiction there is a very great Subordination so far as to suspend and depose which sets them far beyond an Equality 6. That most of these understand English and draw the very best of their Divinity out of English Books and those who have studied in Oxford are more valued than others p. 254. are expressions that savour a little of vanity They
