were Pictures of the Holy Ghost in forme of a Dove that in Peter House there was likewise a carved Crosse at the end of every seat and on the Altar a Pot which they usually called the incense pot that the Master Fellows and Schollers of that house at their entring into going out of the Chappell made a low obeysance to the Altar being enjoyned by Doctor Cosens under a penalty as they reported to doe it and none of them might tume their backs towards the Altar going in nor out of the Chappell That divers Schollers of other houses usually resorted thither some out of Curiosity only to behold others to learne and practise the Popish Ceremonies and Orders used in that Chappell and the common report both among the Schollers of that House and others was that none might approach to the Altar in Peter house but in Sandalls and that there was a speciall consecrated Knife there kept upon the Altar to cut the sacramental bread that was to be consecrated Master Lazarus Seman deposed that he left the Vniversity of Cambridge about ten yeares since and that in his time none of the forementioned Innovations were so much as known or used there but of late times they have all beene introduced Many more witnesses were ready to depose the like and more then this but the Innovations of this kinde were so notoriously knowne to all and so fully proved before the Parliament in Master Peter Smarts Articles against Doctor Cosins that the Commons thought to produce more witnesses herein would bee a meere mispence of time to no purpose but to tyre out the Lords and Auditory But perchance the Archbishop will object what are these Innovations in the Vniversity of Cambridge unto me who was neither Chancellor there to councell or countenance them nor immediatly introduced them To which was Answered 1. That his publike example and practise in his own Chappell at Lambheth formerly manifested was both a president precept for this their imitation and one chiefe cause of these Innovations It was a true rule of Isiodor Hispalensis Dupliciter reus est qui apertè delinquit quia agit docet And a just verdict of the Roman Orator Perniciosius de Republica merentur vitiofi Rectores quod non solum vitia concipiunt ipsi sed ea infundunt in Civitatem neque solum obsunt quod illi ipsi corumpuntur sed etiam quod corumpunt Since then his own preceeding Innovations were the occasions of these Corruptions in this Vniversity they must be laid upon his score 2ly His owne Introduction of the selfesame Popish Innovations into the Vniversity of Oxford by Lawes and Injunctions at the selfe-same time or a little before these sprung up in Cambridge is a strong presumption that both of them issued from the very same roote 3ly His owne chiefe Favorites Chaplaines Creatures who were most intimate frequent with him at London and advanced to Headships in Colledges by his meanes were the only active Instruments to bring in and promote these Corruptions therefore questionlesse they had directions at least incouragment from him for their proceedings in this kinde 4ly His not being Chauncellor of this Vniversity was rather an obstacle to the speedy Introduction of these Innovations then otherwise as appeares by Oxford where he prescribed them by publique Laws and Injunctions which was not done in Cambridge because he was not Chauncellor yet he would needs be their Immediate Visitor as Archbishop of Canterbury contesting with them for this Authority before his Majestic and Privie Councell where hee obtained a Decree and Patent to him and his Successors to be their Visitors in regard of which Jurisdiction over this Vniversity as their Visitor and likewise as an High Commissioner hee wanted no authority but only will to prohibit suppresse these Popish Novelties and punish the promotors of them but this for certaine he never did but countenanced advanced them all hee could as shall be manifested in due place Therefore if the old Maxime of Law may take place Qui non vetat peccare cum posset jubet he must bee really guilty of all these Anti-Christian Innovations in both our Vniversities whom he thus miserably corrupted to the unspeakeable prejudice of Church and State since from these two Fountaines these Popish superstitions corruptions diffused themselves over all our Dominions like a most contagious Leprosie It hath alwayes been a Capitall crime and an offence against the Law of God of Nations to poyson common Naturall fountaines how much more then these two publike Fountaines of more transcendent use and excellency From our Vniversities wee shall in the next place pursue this Romish Reinold unto our Cathedrall Churches where hee began his Popish Innovations very early Master Iohn Laugly late Schoole-Master of the City Glocester but now of Pauls Schoole deposed that in the yeare 1616. the now Archb. being made Deane of Glocester and comming downe to the Cathedrall there intended to turne the Communion Table into an Altar and place it Altarwise at the East end of the Quire removing it from its former station in the midst Doctor Smith then Bishop of GLOCESTER opposed it with much earnestnesse and seriously protested to the DEANE and the Prebends that if the Communion Table were removed or any such Innovations brought into that Cathedrall as this Deane intended to introduce hee would never come within the Walls of the Cathedrall more yet notwithstanding the Deane was then so violent that in despite of the Bishops direction and opposition hee caused the Lords Table to be removed and placed Altarwise at the East end of the Quire close under the Wall with the ends North and South with Popish furniture upon it bowed towards it himselfe and commanded the singing-men Choristers and other Officers of the Church to make like obeysance to it Whereat the Bishop was so much offended that hee made good his protestation and never came more within the Cathedrall till his dying day This single testimony of Mr. Langlies we finde seconded with a Letter of this Bishops Chaplaine to the Chancellour at Glocester thus indorsed with the Archbishops owne hand and found at Lambeth among his Papers by Master Prynne Febr. 12. 1616. A Coppy of the Libell against the removing of the Communion Table in the Church of Glocester MAster Chancellour I pray you certifie me how things stand at Gloucester wee heare strange things of late here with us that seeme almost incredible It is reported here for a truth that the Communion Table in your Cathedrall Church is removed by your new Deane and put up close at the upper end in the place where the high Altar heretofore stood and that they make low obeysance to it with great Reverence as if Christ were there upon it and that this hath much offended the whole Citie almost And yet that not any one of the Prebends did so much as offer by word or deed to resist him or

skrine the Decalogue shal befairely painted and the Communion Table shall bee placed close to the same more decently then it hath beene which being performed the Quire will be much beautified and the celebration of divine service for sight and audience better accommodated then heretofore That Quire to omit the example of Christ-Church the other Cathedrall Church in this Citie and of Saint Paule in London if I bee not mistaken representing in a lesser modell the patterne of Westminster Abbey where there is a skrine enclosing some monuments and a way on each hand to the Chappell adjoying Your Grace may bee pleased also to understand that the Earle obtained Licence to erect his Monument in that place by the unanimous consent of the Deane and Chapter of that Church and that they are Honourable personages whose memory is preserved in that monument the one being Lord Iustice and Lord Chancellour of this Kingdome the other principall Secretary of State both Ancestors to his most pious and Vertuous Lady lately deceased And finally Your Grace is intreated to take Your consideration the meritts of this Noble Earle his zeale for the advancement of true Religion declared by his suppressing forreign jurisdictions and presumptions by building of Churches in severall places and erecting Schoole-houses and Almeshouses at his owne charge besides his publike workes for the common-Wealth raising structures of great strength and expence in places of importance and planting of English Colonyes to the great security and settlement of Peace and civility within those parts all which considered hee may be justly deemed worthy of Honourable memory in the Church Thus much by opening the truth I have written at the Earles request who is exceeding desirous to purge himselfe to Your Grace from giving any scandall to the Church whereupon he hopeth to gaine Your Graces approbation of his blamelesse carriage which I also humbly beseech on his behalfe ever remaining To doe Your Grace Service La Dubline Talloch 17. Feb 1633. To which Letter of the Archbishop of Dublin this Arch-Prelate returned this waspish insolent answer writ with Master Dells but endorsed with his owne hand found in his Study with the former Originalls in the very beginning whereof you may discerne his most palpable dissimulation and falshood S. in Christo My very good Lord IT is most true that I have taken offence at a Tombe erected by the Earle of Corke in the Cathedrall of Saint Patrick but I did not take that Offence lately onely but before ever my Lord Deputy that now is was named to the place And I took that offence by a complaint thence sent unto me for I was never there though I cannot recall who it was that complaind And I am sure the complaint came then unto mee with a full cry that it was built in the place where the High-Altar first stood and the Communion Table afterwards Your Lordship at the Earles entreaty hath signified to me your knowledge for so you say that the Tombe stands in a great Arch at the end of the Quire which was plaistered up to keepe out the Winde and that the High Altar stood at the end of the Lady Maries Chappell which is beyond it and that the East Window is at the top of the Arch and not darkened My Lord it will be hard for mee to speake any thing contrary to Your Lordship who hath beene so often upon that place where I never was yet I shall deale freely and tell Your Lordship what I thinke And first my Lord I am satisfied that the Tombe darkens none of the East-Window But I am no way satisfied that the Altar stood at the upper end of the Lady Maries Chappell That an Altar stood there I easily grant for in those times there were diverse Altars in one Cathedrall and every by Chappell had one at least But that the High-Altar did ever stand in any Cathedrall in other place then the East end of the Quire is quite out of my knowledge nor did I ever heare it till now by Your Lordships Letters That the place before the Arch was an earthen Floore and often troubled with a fresh I doe againe really believe Your Lordship And the Earle hath done very well to raise it and pave it with stone But that the swelling of the Tombe The Iron Grate before it The taking in of some ancient Monuments on either side The erecting of a Skrine before which you say the Communion Table should stand would take off little or no Roome from the Quire that I must confesse I doe not very well understand Your Lordship addes that when the Skrine is built and the Communion Table placed before it it will much beautifie the Quire and be like other Cathedralls To that I can say nothing but must leave it to their eye-sight and judgement that are upon the place And whereas Your Lordship sayes that my Lord had leave of the Deane and Chapter with their unanimous consent to erect a Monument in that place if the place be fit for a Monument the consent was very well askt and given But if it appeare the place were inconvenient then my Lord of Corke did not very well to aske a consent and the Deane and Chapter did very ill to grant it and the more unanimous the consent was the worse And whereas you write that there are other Honourable Personages whose memory is preserved in that Monument to that I say if the Monument stand where it ought God forbid it should be toucht If it stand where it ought not it may be fairely and decently removed and set up in some convenient place upon the side of the Quire or elsewhere where it will as well preserve the memory of those Honourable Personages which you mention as now it doth And God forbid any violence should be offered to that in any kinde And last of all whereas Your Lordship desires I should take into consideration the merits of that Noble Earle I am very willing to doe that And first I am very glad to heare from Your Lordship his zeale for the advancement of true Religion but I may not conceale from Your Lordship that I have likewise heard from others and that some yeares since that hee hath gotten into his hands no small proportion of the Churches meanes And if that be so any man may see his end in advancing true Religion But such a Zeale that poore Church hath little need of and God blesse every part of the Church from it As for his Lordships building of Churches Schooles and Hospitalls I know nothing of that and can say as little to it Only this I can say that if he take from the Church in one place to build Church Schoole or Hospitall in another t is no zeale nor the way which Christian bounty uses to tread And if his Lordship hath done any Publike worke for strength and fortification to the Kingdom I pray God that bee not done with the Churches

but that it may lye by him that when you speak with his Grace about this among other businesses his Grace may have recourse to my papers if he think fit There are in my Diocesse 469 Churches and Chappels or thereabout and the Communion Tables are placed already in above 140 of them as the Communion Table is placed in our Cathedrall Church here I have begun and proceeded herein in a perswasive way some parishes were no sooner spoken to but they obeyed other Parishes refused at the first but they were quickly satisfied and then submitted only the Churchwardens of Beckington being encouraged and back'd by divers of the parish not so well affected to the government and rites of the Church as they should be are become obstinate and will have the Chancell ordered and the Communion Table there placed as the parishioners shall think fit who also bear the charges of these Churchwardens as they have confessed unto me which was the cause why they hasted so speedily to London and stayed so long there about this businesse If these men have their wils the example will do a great deal of harme for then many of the Parishes which have already conformed themselves to the Cathedrall will fall back and other Parishes will never come on to this conformity who are now at a stand to see what will be done in the Chancell of Beckington I know your judgement and affection to the Church concurres with mine and therefore I am assured you will do nothing herein but that which shall be for the good of the Church and preservation of authority in all things just and lawfull I pray If D. Duck desire to read the coppy of the proceedings and reasons which I have sent you let him borrow it of you for it is fit my Chancelour should be acquainted with these things whose counsell and assistance must be used therein And so with remembrance of my true love and best wishes to you I commend you to the grace of God and rest Your very affectionate and faithfull friend Guil. Bath and Wels. Wels 2 Ian. 1635. Hereupon the poor Churchwardens being destitute of all relief continued excommunicated about a whole year after which they were taken and imprisoned in the common Gaole a long time upon a Capias Excommunicatum from whence at last they were released by the Bishop upon this ensuing submission and pennance worse then any imprisonment A true Copy of the Pennance that Iames Wheeler and Iohn Frye were enjoyned unto by my Lord Bishop of Bath and Wels examined by those whose names are underwritten Thomas Iles Iohn Bailly George Long William Webb Whereas the right reverend Father in God William by Gods permission Lord Bishop of Bathe and Wels hath heretofore lawfully required and commanded James Wheeler and John Frye late Churchwardens of the Parish-church of Beckington within the Dioces of Bathe and Wels aforesaid to remove the Communion Table in the Chancell of their said parish-Church and to place it close under the East wall of the said Chancell in the same manner and forme as the Communion Table standeth in the Cathedrall Church in Wells aforesaid and to remoue the seats placed above the said Table And likewise whereas they the said James Wheeler and John Frye contemned and wilfully disobeyed the command of the said Reverend Father and have in most contemptuous manner stood excommunicated for their said contempt for the space of one whole yeare now last past or there abouts not regarding nor fearing the dreadfull Censure of the Church And have likewise some dayes last past stood aggravated and have been signified unto the Kings most excellent Majesty for the apprehending their bodies and committing them to the Common-gaole of the County of Somerset the rather to compell them to their due obedience to the lawfull command of the Church now upon the earnest request and submission of the said Wheeler and Fry the said Reverend Father hath absolved them from the said sentences and enjoyned unto them that upon Sunday the 25 day of Iune in the year of our Lord God one thousand six hundred thirty seven they in their usuall apparell shall stand first in the middle Ally in the Parish-church of Beckington aforesaid and there immediately after the reading of the Gospell shall openly and penitently with an audible voice make this acknowledgement following repeating the same after the Minister viz. We James Wheeler and John Fry do here before this Congregation assembled acknowledge and confesse that we have grievously offended the Divine Majesty of Almighty God and the lawes Ecelesiasticall of this Realme of England in that we have in contemptuous manner refused to remove the Communion Table in the Chancell of the Parish-church of Beckington and to place it close under the East wall of the said Chancell in the same manner and forme as the Communion Table standeth in the Cathedrall Church in Wels and to remove the seats placed above the said Table being thereunto lawfully and judicially monished and warned by the right reverend Father in God the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wels. And in that for our contempts and disobediences in not performing the said lawfull command of the said reverend Father we have suffered our selves to be lawfully excommunicated and so to stand for the space of one whole yeare last past or thereabouts not fearing nor regarding the dreadfull censure of the Church And in like or rather more contemptuous manner have suffered our selves to be lawfully aggravated and signified according to the laudable laws ● statutes of this Realm thereby in a legall manner to compell us to our due obedience to the lawfull command of the Church And we do hereby protest that we are right heartily sorry for the same and we do faithfully promise never from henceforth to offend in the like againe but to demeane our selves as shall become good Christians and dutifull subjects and we doe ask God forgivenesse for this our sinne and offence and you all here present for our evill example And we doe desire you all to pray for us and with us to Almighty God that it may please him of his infinite goodnesse to forgive us of this our offence And then humbly and penitently kneeling downe must devoutly rehearse the Lords Prayer and they must certifie hereof at Wels in writing subscribed to these presents under the hands of the Minister and Churchwardens of Beckington aforesaid on Tuesday the 27 day of Iune aforesaid together with this Schedule And the like pennance is to be performed by the within named James Wheeler and John Fry for the same offence in the Parish-church of Froom-felwood within the Dioces aforesaid before the Pulpit or Ministers seat there in manner and forme prescribed on Sunday the 2 day of Iuly Anno predict And certificate must be made of the due performance thereof as abovesaid under the hands of the Minister and Churchwardens there upon Tuesday the fourth day of Iuly aforesaid

Justice of peace within that City and an inhabitant of S. Edmonds Parish there took just offence at some pictures in one of the glasse-windows in that Church near unto his seat and ever in his eye in which window was contained in old rude rusty painted glasse the History of the Creation not as it is related by Moses in the first Chapter of Genesis but after the Painters fancy who in this window consisting only of four panes had made no lesse then seven picturs of God the Father in form of a little old man clad in a blew and red coat with a pouch by his side about the bignesse of a Puppet and preposterously placed the fourth daies work of creation before the third and made that to be done on the fifth day which was created on the sixth and in one place he had represented God the Father creating the Sunne and Moon and squaring them out with a pair of compasses in his hand as if he had formed them by some Geometricall rules and the help of a Compasse To these pictures M. Sherfield and others had seen Ema Browne and other old women make low curtesies who being demanded why they made such curtesies answered that they made them to their Lord God and to God the Father in the Glasse-window which was proved by divers witnesses upon oath Wherupon M. Sherfield being perswaded in point of conscience that these Idolatrous Pictures were directly forbidden by the second Commandement and many expresse Texts of Scripture prohibiting any representations of God the Father condemned thus by the Homilies of our Church against the Perill of idolatry Part. 3. ● 40. which determine that The Image of God the Father the Sonne and Holy Ghost either severally or the images of the Trinity be by the Scriptures expresly forbidden and condemned as appears by these places Deut. 4. Isay 40. Acts 17. Rom. 1. there cited at large By these and many other places of Scripture it is evident that no Image either ought or can be made to God For how can God a most pure spirit whom man never saw he expressed by a grosse body or visible similitude or how can the infinite Majesty and greatnesse of God incomprehensible to mans minde much more not able to be compassed with the sense be expressed in a SMAL and LITTLE IMAGE as this of God the Father was How can a dead and dumbe Image expresse the living God c. Wherefore an Image of God is not only a lye but a double lye also But the Devill is a lyar and the Father of lyes Wherefore the lying Images which he made of God to his great dishonour and horrible danger of his people came from the Devill Wherefore they be convict of foolishnesse and wickednesse in making of Images of God or the Trinity for no Image of God ought or can be made yea and once to desire an Image of God commeth of infidelity thinking not God here present except they see some signe or Image of him And to be abolished out of Churches by the resolution of Queen Elizabethe Injunctions the Canons and Oxthodox Writers of our Church the Statutes of our Realme and King James his own resolution in sundry of his Works moved the Parish at a Vestry where were six Justices of Peace present that he might have liberty to take down this offensive scandalous Window being a burthen to his conscience an occasion of much superstition and idolatry to ignorant people and the Church it self a Donative as they conceived belonging to the parishioners and to set up a new window of white glasse in its place whereupon it was unanimously ordered by the Vestry about January 1629. and the Order entred that if M. Sherfield thought fit he might take downe the painted old glasse of this Window and set up new Whereupon not long after he did with his staffe breake or picke out some of those peeces of glasse representing God the Father which amounted not to above the value of six pence the whole glasse window not being worth forty shillings when it was new intending to new glaze the same Whereupon by the Archbishops means and instigation an Information was exhibited against him in the Star-chamber by the Kings Attorney Generall for breaking these idolatrous pictures and that in opposition of the Church-government established by law among us This cause was prosecuted with all rigour and at last brought to a hearing on the 8 of February 1632. where this Archbishop then Bishop of London as was proved by the Oathes of Master Tomlins a Barrister of the Temple M. Joseph Caryll Lecturer at Lincolnes Inne and the testimony of M. Robert Nicholas a Member of the Commons House a Commissioner in that cause shewed himselfe very violent against M. Sherfield made a long speech in defence of Images in Churches contrary to our Homilies justified the picturing of God the Father in forme of an old man out of that place of Daniel where God is called The ancient of dayes which the Earl of Dorset refuted being an expression only of Gods eternity declaring him to be before all times and notwitstanding it was proved by four witnesses that those pictures were adored by divers persons yet the Archbishop was so violent against Mr. Sherfield that for breaking of these idolatrous pictures according to the doctrine of our Church in the Homilies against the perill of Idolatry Queen Elizabeth Injunctions and the statute of 3 4 E. 6. ca. 10. which were pleaded for his justification he agravated his offence to the utmost from his Office his Age his profession and divers other circumstances instead of mittigating it fined him a thousand pound to the King sentenced him to be removed from his Recordership in that City to make a publick acknowledgement of his great fault in the Parish-church where this was done and in the Cathedrall at Salisbury and to be bound to his good behaviour some of the Temporall Lords excused his fact spake much against Images and thought it fit to impose no fine upon him This Archbishop then concluded his speech against M. Sherfield in justification of Images with these words I have been the willinger to render this ancount at this time because some are ready to slander Vs as maintainers of POPISH SVPERSTITION and I know not what This sentence gave great incouragement to the setting up of superstitious idolatrous Pictures Images and Crucifixes in our Churches and discouraged most men from opposing the intended introducing of them which followed thereupon in sundry places To this we shall adde the Archbishops tyrannicall sentence and proceedings against M. John Workeman a godly painfull Minister Lecturer in the City of Glocester for preaching against Images in Churches This pious Minister being Lecturer in S. Stephens Church in that City was prosecuted for preaching publickly in a Sermon there That Pictures or Images were no more ornaments to a Church then Stewes to a Common wealth That for a man to

as Archbishop as himself both pretended pleaded and he must needs not only hear of but see it too when he was in Oxford Therefore the blame thereof must be his alone As for the bowing and praying to it Mr. Nixon swears it directly and was not mistaken as he would surmise to excuse the odiousnesse of this new erected Oxford Idol which gave such publike scandal 7. It s true that Latin Prayers on Ashwednesday onely were formerly used in Oxford before the Batchellors of Art but he enjoyned such Prayers all the Lent long in stead of English which was never done before to usher in Latin Service by degrees in an unknown tongue divers Townsmen resorting to the English Prayers in Lent who could not understand these new Latin ones which he introduced 8. This Statute enjoyning reading and chanting in solemn Processions was made in time of Popery and Popish processions and renewed in these New Statutes made by this Archbishop Therefore certainly meant of such processions not of perambulations only which are not used by the University And the objected subsequent Statute is but a blinde to delude the simple for the present the Doctrine and Discipline of our Church in the Vniversities judgement being only written in his brest quo rectior non stat regula quo prior est corrigenda Religio as they write unto him in their Letter of November 9. 1640. the last recorded in their Register 9. Whereas he would assoil himself from the Popish Innovations in Cambridge Vniversity the guilt of them must originally rest on him alone for these reasons 1. Because they were introduced by his instruments favourites creatures there advanced by him as Dr. Martin Dr. Cosens Dr. Beal Dr. Lany Dr. Stern 2. Introduced in imitation of those Crucifixes Images Copes Altar-furniture Genuflexions which himself had introduced at Lambeth Chappel to which they were subsequent not antecedent 3. Because though he was not Chancellor yet he pretended to be Visitor of this Vniversity and that of Oxford too as he was Archbishop of Canterbury and procured a solemn Decree and Patent for it to himself and his successors Therefore since he did not prohibit correct suppresse them as Visitor according to Law and duty they will prove his proper Innovations the rather because he permitted countenanced nay enjoyned the like at Oxford by new Statutes where he was both Visitor and Chancellor which was never done in Cambridge That he should have no notice of those Popish Innovations there which were so notorious to all the Kingdom so publikely spoken of in every place when as he had constant weekly intelligence from thence as appears by sundry Letters of all transactions there and was so conversant with the chief Authors of them is not only improbable but impossible Therefore he still lyes under the guilt of this intire charge concerning the Popish Innovations in our Vniversities Fifthly from the Vniversities I was next traced to Cathedrals and Collegiat Churches where I am charged with introducing enjoyning sundry Innovations tending to Popery by my visitors Injunctions and new Cathedral Statutes As 1. Copes 2. Altars some of them made of Marble stone 3. Turning and railing in Communion Tables Altar wise 4. Bowing to and towards the Altar and Lords Table which I enjoyned to sundry Cathedrals by new Statutes as namely to the Cathedralists of Canterbury as Dr. Jackson and Dr. Bletchenden deposed and divers others 5. Crucifixes and Images 6. Candlesticks Basons Altar-clothes with other Altar Ornaments and they instanced in sundry particular Cathedrals as Canterbury Gloncester Durham Winchester Chichester Hereford Worcester where these Innovations were introduced by my Injunctions and new Statutes to make way for them in Parish Churches who must imitate these their Mother Churches To the first of these I Answer that the use of Copes in Cathedral and Collegiat Churches is enjoyned by the 24 Canon made in Convocation An. 1603. therefore it was lawful and no Popish Innovation for me to enjoyn them as I have formerly proved To the second that Altars both the name and thing were in use among the Primitive Christians and Churches who were far from Popery and long before it yea are found both in the Old and New Testament as divers learned men have largely proved To the third that my Injunctions for rayling in of Altars and Lords Tables Altarwise with the sides against the East wall of the Quire is consonant to the Queens Injunctions to the practise of approved Antiquity all Altars and Lords Tables being generally so placed in Churches in ancient times both in this and other Churches of Christendom as well East as West and that there is no matter of Popery in placing and rayling in Lords Tables in this manner as I have proved at large in my printed Speech in Starchamber To the fourth that I did in the very Statutes for the Cathedral-church of Canterbury and others enjoyn the Prebends and Members of the Cathedral Summa reverentia adorare Deum versus Altare which bowing to worship God towards the Altar as Dr. Bletchenden attested upon oath was used before the new Statutes of Canterbury were made yea approved practised by Dr. Jackson himself as readily as by any other Prebends who hath given a greater testimony against himself then me After which he produced his Secretary Mr. Dell to testifie without oath that in the perusal of the old Statutes for the Cathedral of Canterbury divers superstitions were put out by the Archbishop and by name Prayer for the soul of King Henry the 8. after his decease Then he concluded his Answer thus That the 95 Psalm did command this kinde of bowing at our entrance into the Church and that the Knights of the Honourable Order of the Garter were bound by a Chapter-Order to bow to God towards the Altar when they offered at it in their solemnities and did still practise it without guilt or suspition of Popery Therefore himself might use enjoyn and others practise it without any guilt of Popery at all as well as they To the fifth that Crucifixes and Images were not simply unlawful being used in the Kings own Chappel That Images in Churches had been long in use even in Constantine the Great his Raign and long before therefore no Popery could be couched in them To the sixth that those are no other then what the King used in his own Chapple and had been long time used in the Church for greater Ornament lustre it being a disparagement to our Religion to have God served slovenly and meanly as many desired he should be under pretence of shunning superstition To this was Replyed 1. That neither our Common Prayer Book nor Book of Ordination nor Homilies confirmed by Parliament the only Canons in force to direct us nor Queen Elizabeths Injunctions in the first year of Her Raign enjoyn any Copes in Cathedrals more then in other Churches but condemn seclude them alike out of all our Churches and that the

though it stood in most Parish Churches the other way yet whither there be not more reason the Parish should be made conformable to the Cathedrall and Mother Churches then the Cathedralls to them I leave to any reasonable man to judge So as his Innovations begun in Cathedralls were purposely introduced there first of all to draw on Parish Churches to Popish conformity with them in these Innovations Next in particular we reply that the alteration of the standing of the Lords Table and rayling it in Altarwise was no wayes warranted by the Queens Injunctions but contrary to them as wee have largely manifested That though this was not done immediately by himselfe but by the Deane and Chapter of Paules yet he was the Originall author of it and justified it when complained of That he publikely checked the Councell Parishioners and sir Henry Martin before the King and Lords for opposing this Innovation and alleadging Bishop Iewill and Mr. Fox against it desiring his Majesty to take these Bookes out of the Church if they made no better use of them then to oppose this Novelty That he carried himselfe more like an Advocate then Judge in this Cause and when the King himselfe was satisfied and would have it stand as formerly his violence was such that he over-ruled both King and Councell and drew up the Order forecited in their names for establishing this Innovation which favours of his stile and spirit the guilt whereof must rest principally on him 2ly The comming up to the Rayles was pressed by his Visitors Agents authority and those excommunicated who refused to come up and receive at the New Rayle to which certainly it was never the minde of the Common Prayer Book the Communicants should draw neare since there were no Rayles to draw neare and kneele at till this Archbishop enjoyned them to be set up in imitation of the Papists as we have proved but this drawing neare is rather a drawing neare to Christ by faith with our hearts and affections or else a drawing neare to the body of the Church of Chancell where the Lords Table is to be placed to the Minister officiating as it is expounded by the Q●eens Jujunctions 28 Canon The Table when the holy Communion shal be administred shal be placed in so good sort within the Church or Chancel as thereby the Minister may be more conveniently heard of the Communicants in his prayer and administration and the Communicants also may more conveniently and in more number communicate with the Minister 3ly We answer that the Lords Table was ordained only to administer the Sacrament thereat not to read second service at it for which the Reading Pew is appointed as the Common-prayer Book the Homilies of the worthy receiving the Sacrament and reparing Churches Queen Elizabeths Injunctions the Canous made 1571. p. 18. and the 82. 83. Canons Anno 1603. resolve Now this Archbishop enjoyned second service now to bee read at the Lords Table when there was no Communion and where it was rayled in at the upper end of the Quite not brought downe into the body of the Church or Chancell contrary to the Rubrick in the Common Prayer Booke which expresly determines That the Epistle and Gospel chiefe parts of this second service shall be read where the two Lessons are with a loud voice that the people may heare the Minister that readeth them the Minister standing and turning himselfe as he may best be heard of ALL such as be present which he cannot be if he read them at the upper end of the Chancell remote from the people where the Churches are great or the Ministers voyce low This innovation then which was never practised in any Parish Church till of late though used in some Cathedralls wherein the Rubrick enjoynes the Communion every Sunday in the yeare at least to be administred which was wholly omitted and the second service at the Table left to supply it is directly contrary to the Rubricke Homilies Injunctions Canon 4ly It is evident that Crucifixes were set up in many Parish Churches Chapells of the Kingdome which though we cannot prove to be done by his expresse particular Command yet certainly it was by his example or incouragement who repaired and set up Crucifixes in his owne Chappell 's at Lambeth Croyden and one over the Altar in Passion week in the Kings owne Chappell at White-Hall Besides those who erected them were either his owne Chaplaines or Faverites who knew his minde and did it for to imitate and please his Grace to gaine some further preferments For the Images set up in the New b Chappell in Tuttle fields we b have proved that the Arch-bishop promised to bestow a new Window on it that thereupon the old was taken downe the Kings Armes removed and those Images with the Archbishops owne Armes as the Donor of it set up that his Chaplaine gave directions about the VVindow and Mr. Sutton sweares that the money for new glasing it was paid since the Archbishops commitment to the Tower by his direction as he believeth A cleare evidence that he was the Author and director of this worke notwithstanding all his shifts to elude it 5ly Though the Archbishop made not these Bishops Visitation Oathes and Articles yet he made all of them Bishops who durst do nothing in their Diocesse or Visitations but by his direction to whom they gave an Annuall Accompt of their proceedings in writing as we have manifested Besides its apparent that all these Visitation Articles were made in pursuance of his owne Archiepiscopall Injunctions Instructions and himselfe approved of these their Oathes Articles never checking nor questioning them for them though their Metropolitan yea himselfe prescribed the selfe same things in his Metropoliticall Visitations by printed Articles written Injunctions or private Jnstructions as these Bishops did in imitation of him Therefore hee must Answer for these their Articles Oathes proceedings as farre forth as they who were but his Instruments Sixtly For his Answer to the particular Cases wee shall returne these Replyes 1. That though Mr. Smart was censured by the High Commission at Yorke yet he was first imprisoned here at London and transmitted from the High Commission here to York by this Archbishops meanes who complyed with Dr. Cosin in his prosecution and disposed of his livings after his deprivation as we can prove by sundry Letters found in his Study As for Mr. Smarts Sermon it was neither scandalous nor factions but Orthodox and Iuditious against the Popish Jnnovations introduced in the Cathedrall of Durham where he was the ancientest Prehend deserving rather applause then any censure as both Lords and Commons have resolved upon a full hearing and awarded him reparations and Damages for his unjust censure 2ly Mr. Chancy spake no contemptuous words at all against the Rayle nor of setting it up in his Garden His suspention was illegall not only without but against Law and Canon As for his submission it was forced and a
