The great Debate about Ship-money for the Ship-Writs having been issued out August the 11 to divers Counties many Inhabitants and among the rest Mr. Hambden of Buckingham-shire assessed by the Sheriff made default of payment whereupon the King equally hating to be either flattered into or frighted from the belief of its Legality wrote a Letter to the Judges demanding their Opinions upon the case stated To which the Judges delivered their Opinions as followeth May it please your most Excellent Majesty WE have according to your Majesties Command severally and every Man by himself and all of us together taken into our serious consideration the Case and Questions signed by your Majesty and inclosed in your Letter And we are of opinion That when the good and safety of the Kingdom in general is concerned and the whole Kingdom in danger Your Majesty may by Writ under your Great Seal of England Command all the

The great esteem and favour many Professors of the Romish Religion receive at Court 2. Their publick resort to Mass at Denmark-house contrary to his Majesties Answer to the Parliaments Petition at Oxford 3. The Letters for stay of Proceedings against them Lastly The daily growth of the Arminian-Faction favoured and protected by Neal Bishop of Winchester and Laud Bishop of Bath-and-Wells whilest the Orthodox party are silenced or discountenanced 2. The danger of Innovation and Alteration in Government occasioned by Billeting of Soldiers by the Commission of procuring One thousand German-Horse and Riders for the defence of the Kingdom by a standing-Commission granted to the Duke to be General at Land in times of Peace 3. Disasters of our Designs as the expedition to the Isle of Rhe and that lately of Rochel wherein the English have purchased their dishonour with the waste of a Million of Treasure 4. The want of Ammunition occasioned by the late selling away of 36 Last of Powder 5. The decay of Trade by the loss of Three hundred Ships taken by the Dunkirkers and Pirates within these three last years 6. The not Guarding the Narrow Seas whereby his Majesty hath almost lost the Regality Of all which Evils and Dangers the principal cause is the Duke of Buckingham his excessive power and abuse of that power and therefore they humbly submit it to his Majesties Wisdom whether it can be safe for Himself or his Kingdom that so great Power should be trusted in the hands of any one Subject whatsoever This Remonstrance being finished on Tuesday June the 17th they presented it as an Appendix with a Bill of Subsidies to the King in the Banqueting-house who having heard it out He told them That he little expected such a Remonstrance after he had so Graciously passed the Petition of Right As for their Grievances he would consider of them as they should deserve Some say that at his passing out the King gave the Duke his hand to kiss which others only suppose was no more than the Dukes low congy to his Majesties hand It is also reported That the King being informed that Mr. Denzil Hollis had an hand in this Remonstrance he replied in the words of Julius Caesar Et tu Brute I wonder at it for we two were fellow-Revellers in a Masquerade Three days before this Dr. Manwaring was questioned for some Seditious passages in two Sermons preached one before the King and the other at his own Parochial Church wherein he asserted viz. 1. That the Kings Royal Command in imposing without common consent in Parliament Taxes and Loans doth so far bind the Conscience of the Subjects of this Kingdom that they cannot refuse the payment of them without peril of Eternal damnation 2. That the Authority of Parliament is not necessary for the raising of Aids and Subsidies These things being too evident to be denied and too gross to admit of qualification his Sentence was 1. Imprisonment during the pleasure of the House 2. One thousand pound Fine to the King 3. To make such submission and acknowledgment of his offence as shall be set down by a Committee in Writing both at the Bar of the Lords House and at the House of Commons 4. To be suspended for three years from the exercise of the Ministry 5. To be disabled from ever Preaching at Court hereafter 6. To be disabled for ever from having any Ecclesiastical Dignity or Secular Office 7. That as his Book is worthy to be burnt so his Majesty may be moved to Grant a Proclamation for the calling of it in as also for the burning of it According to the third particular of which Sentence two days after he made his submission on his knees Whilest the Parliament was busie about this Doctor the King was as busie about the late Remonstrance to which he formed a formal Answer traversing and denying all their charge wherewith the Commons being somewhat irritated for it was a smart one fell downright upon another Remonstrance against Tonnage and Poundage But the King was unwilling to hear of any more Remonstrances of that nature and therefore resolved to frustrate it by Proroguing of the Parliament unto October the 20th And June the 26. 1628 being the last of this Session his Majesty calling both Houses together before his Royal Assent to the Bills delivered his mind unto them as you may read Page the 84th of the aforesaid Narrative The Parliament being thus Prorogued the Commons were exceedingly Male-content for they desired only a Recess and Adjournment whereby all matters then depending might be found in the same station and condition as at their next meeting wherein they at present left them In this Month Dr. Lamb a creature of the Dukes Dr. Lamb his Exemplary Death commended to him by Bishop Williams suffer'd for the testimony of a lewd conversation Having been at a Play-house at his return some boys began to affront him and call him the Dukes Devil whereupon he hired some to guard him home and taking in at a Cooks shop where he supt the people watcht his coming out but he was so strongly guarded as they durst not venture on him Then he went to the Windmill-Tavern in Lothbury and at length coming forth the tumult being much increased gave the onset and assaulted him so as he was forced to take refuge in the next house but the enraged multitude threatned to pull down the house unless Lamb were speedily delivered unto them The Master of the House was a Lawyer and fearing some sad consequence of this uproar discreetly sends for four Constables to guard him out but the furious multitude flew at him in the midst of his Auxiliaries struck him down and mauled him so as that they beat out one of his eyes and left him half dead upon the place In this plight he was carried into the Counter in the Poultrey no other house being willing to receive him where the next morning he changed this life either for a better or for a worse On August the 23d following the Duke of Buckingham by one John Felton was stabbed at Portsmouth The Duke of Buchingham Murdered who being at breakfast with Soubire and others of principal quality this Felton sometimes a Lieutenant to a Foot-Company in the Regiment of Sir John Ramsey who had but about a week before meditated the Act but had not yet contrived the means sneaks into the Chamber vigilantly to observe every opportunity serviceable for his purpose and finding the Duke ready to rise from the Table he withdraws into an Entry through which the Duke was to pass who coming by with Sir Thomas Fryer to whom he declined his ear in the posture of attention in the very instant of Sir Thomas his retiring from the Duke Felton with a back blow stabbed him in the left side into the very heart leaving the

unanimously and with loud Acclamations throw up your Caps and Beavers into the Air and cry Vive le Roy or Currat Lex vivat Rex And if so for my own part I should yet hope to see if it shall please my Gracious God to lend me a little longer time of health and strength many Halcyon and most happy days in the Land and Nation of my Nativity before I go away hence and shall be seen no more And that an happy union and good correspondence between his present Majesty and his future Parliaments without the least suspition or jealousie one of another may yet come to pass in our days I do most humbly beseech thy Divine Majesty who are the Lord God Almighty to grant for thy great names sake and for thy Vicegerents sake and for his Peoples sake who are truly Loyal and obedient Subjects in and through thy most dear and well beloved Son the Lord Jesus Christ in whom thou art well pleased and whom by thy free grace goodness and most stupendious mercy and compassion to thy poor creatures is the Lord and giver of everlasting Life to all those who shall most faithfully and most sincerely though but imperfectly obey him And now to him with thy eternal Majesty who art King Immortal Invisible and only wise God by the assistance of thy holy and for ever blessed Spirit of Grace I do most humbly desire to render give and ascribe all honour glory laud and praise might Majesty reverential fear and all humble adoration from this time forth and for evermore Amen And now in the close of all Whereas in my Title-Page I have there intimated how Magna Charta was most solemnly and most wonderfully even to the astonishment of the Spectators ratified pronounced and proclaimed and therefore must not now leave you in the dark as to that particular but refer you to the Packet of Advice from Rome Number 50. the which in my slender apprehension deserves to be written in Letters of Gold upon the Walls of both Houses of Parliament And for your present and I hope pleasant satisfaction I have here inferted and presented you with the same at large HAving presented the Reader with the most remarkable Transactions of Papal Tyranny in Foreign Parts down to the year 1254 't is time to look homewards and observe Ecclesiastic Occurrences in England our last Discourse of that kind terminating with the death of King John to whom succeeded his Son Henry the third of that name for though by reason of the Fewds between John and his Barons they had invited over Lewis the French King's Son and many had to him sworn Allegiance yet the Father being dead and his faults buried with him they did not think fit to yield up themselves to the French Man's Yoak who already began to exercise an insufferable Tyranny wherever he had Power And although the Pope had at first encourag'd the Barons in their Rebellion yet when once he had hector'd King John into a Resignation of his Crown he became his Patron and forbad Lewis from intermedling with the Kingdom as being then forsooth part of S. Peter's Patrimony and therefore excommunicated Lewis for the Invasion which engag'd most of the Clergy to oppose him And so Henry on the 28th of October 1216. was Crown'd being then in the 10th year of his Age and Lewis being routed at Lincoln was glad to come to a Treaty quit his Pretensions and most dishonourably retreat into France Yet 't is observable that the Clergy were then such fast Friends to their Head the Pope and so little regardful of the Descent in the Right Line that they would not accept Henry for their King without making him first do Homage to the Holy Chureh of Rome and Pope Innocent for his Kingdoms of England and Ireland and swearing to pay the 1000 Marks per Annum which his Father had promised to that See Matth. Paris fol. 278. And besides to bring Grists to the Roman Mill the Pope's Legate at that time in England immediately on the Departure of Prince Lewis sent his Inquisitors all over the Realm and whomsoever they would discover to have sided with him Consensuetiam Levissimo Though in the least degree must atone the Crime with a large Sum insomuch as the Bishop of Lincoln before he could be restored to his Bishoprick was forc'd to pay 1000 Marks to the Pope's use and 1000 to the Legate for the little Rogue would have suips in the prey with the great One and many other Bishops and Religious Men were glad to empty their Pockets to him at the same rate Matth. Paris fol. 218. In the year 1220. the Pope was pleased to make Hugh formerly Bishop of Lineoln a Saint and since the manner of his Vn-Holiness's declaring the same may be Divertive to the common English Reader I shall give you the very words of his Letter Translated as I find it in Matth. Paris fol. 298. Honorius Servant of the Servants of God to all out well-beloved Sons the Faithful of Christ that shall inspect these Presents Greeting and Apostolick Benediction The worthiness of Divine Piety does make famous his Holy Ones and Elect placed in the Bliss of the Celestial Kingdom by the shining forth of their Miracles still upon Earth that the Devotion of the Faithful being thereby stirred up may with due Veneration implore their Aid and Suffrages since therefore we are fully satisfied that the Bounty of Heaven hath illustrated Hugh Bishop of Lincoln as well in his Life as after his Death with a multitude of Famous Miracles We have thought fit to Enroll him in the Catalogue of Saints and admonish and exhort you all in the Lord That you devoutly implore his Patronage and Intercession for you with Almighty God farther Commanding That the day of his Decease be henceforwards every year devoutly Celebrated as a Holyday Dated at Viterbium the 13th Calend of March in the fourth year of our Popedom But how much a Saint soever he was we meet with another Bishop as very a Devil for about this time a Quarrel happening between Richard Bishop of Durham and the Monks of the same Church they complain'd of him to the Pope who seem'd much concern'd at his many horrid Crimes and presently sent over a Letter in these Terms Honorius Bishop c. to the Bishops of Salisbury Ely c. Greeting and Apostolick Benediction It is fit for us to be so be so delighted in the sweet Savour of a good opinion of our Brethren and Fellow-Labourers as not to connive at Vices in those that are Pestilent since it becomes not us for the Reverence of the Order to bear with Sinners whose Guilt renders them as worthy of as many Deaths as they transmit Examples of Perdition to those that are under them who are too apt to imitate only the Depravaties of their Superiours Hence it is that since things too far dissonant from Episcopal Honesty have very often been suggested unto us
