MEMOIRS OF Queen Mary's days Wherein the CHURCH of ENGLAND and all the Inhabitants may plainly see if God hath not suffered them to be infatuated as in a Glass the sad Effects which follow a POPISH SUCCESSOR enjoying the CROWN of ENGLAND Humbly tendred to the Consideration of c. THE first remarkable passage in Queen Mary's Popish Reign was Her wicked Dissimulation with the Men of Suffolk to get Herself into the Throne and Breach of Her Faith and Word after She had obtained it thus As soon as She heard of her Brother King Edward's death and that He had by his Will with the consent of his Council Excluded Her and Nominated the Lady Jane to succeed the said Queen Mary having been before Bastardized by her Father King Henry VIII She under pretence of fearing Infection Rid 40 Miles in one day and removed from Norfolk to her Castle of Framingham in Suffolk where taking upon Her the name of Queen pretended to all the Nobility and Gentry of those Countries That if they would give Her their Assistance She would make no Alteration in Religion Thereupon came to Her the Earls of Oxford Bath and Sussex Lord Wentworth John Mordent and Thomas Wharton Barons eldest Sons and several Knights and many others of Norfolk and Suffolk with whom She Conditioned and Agreed That She would not attempt in any wise the least Alteration of Religion established by her Brother King Edward VI. She by this trick being thus assisted wrote her Letter to the Lords of the Council wherein She claimed the Crown and required them to proclaim Her Queen of England and the City of London which in a short time was done As soon as She got into the Throne her fair Promises proved false Deceits for She immediately the very next day broke her Word with them and in a short time those of the Diocess in Suffolk whom She thus wheedled to assist Her tasted the sharpest Persecution under Her Reign for She was so far from keeping Her Promises and Conditions made either with them or any others in matters of Religion that She acted quite contrary as appears by the Sequel of Her sad and bloody Reign 1. It was in the 3d of August Anno 1553. that Queen Mary rode through London to the Tower and the very next day She set up Stephen Gardner the bloody Persecutor of the Protestants in the Bishoprick of Winchester and a few days after made him High Chancellor of England this was that cruel Man that the Duke of Norfolk came to dine with who would not go to Dinner till Four of the clock in the afternoon because he would first have the news of Bishop Ridleys and Latimers being Burnt of whose death by Gods heavy Judgment on him you may read further in our Chronologies 2. The 5th of August two days after Her coming to London She turns out the Protestant Bishops of London and Durham and re-established Bonner that blood-thirsty Miscreant Bishop of London and Turstall Bishop of Durham You see her first Act was to displace Bishops of the Church of England and put bloody Popish Persecutors in their room who worried and destroyed the poor Protestants 3. The 15th of September after Mr. Latimer and Dr. Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury with others were Arraigned and Condemned 4. Presently after Her Coronation which was the First of October She pretended to shew Mercy by a General Pardon which says my Author was so interlaced with Exceptions of Matters and Persons that very few received benefit thereby so even that with all the rest was a meer Cheat. 5. It was not only the Protestant Clergy that She dealt thus withall but even with the Judges too for Sir James Hales one of the Justices of the Common Pleas who had been Her Friend and stood for Her Succession yet he for giving Charge at a Quarter Sessions in Kent upon the Statutes of Henry VIII and Edw. VI. in derogation of the Primary of Rome he was first Committed to the Kings-Bench then to the Counter then to the Fleet where he grew so troubled in mind that he attempted with a Penknife to kill himself and at last did drown himself 6. In this Her first Year She also caused a Synod to be assembled about matters of Religion who restored the Romish Religion and the Mass commanded to be celebrated after the Romish manner 7. The 4th of February in the said Year John Rodgers the first Martyr of these times was burnt at London 8. February the 9th John Hooper late Bishop of Worcester was Burnt at Gloucester 9. Robert Ferrer Bishop of Man was Burnt at Caermarthen after him John Bradford with many others was Burnt 10. October the 16th 1554. those two famous Men Ridley late Bishop of London and Latimer late Bishop of Worcester no less famous for their constant Deaths than their Religious Lives were most inhumanely and barbarously Burnt at Oxford after they had first been conveyed from the Tower thither upon pretence to dispute with the Romanists about the Real Presence in the Sacrament 11. The next worthy thing that this Popish Successor did was to set up the Popes Supremacy amongst us For as soon as She was married to King Philip She sent to Rome for Cardinal Poole to come into England who came invested with great Authority as the Popes Legat a latere who made a solemn Speech to the Parliament exhorting them to return to the Bosom of the Church for which End he was come to reconcile them to the Church of Rome and for their first work of Reconcilement he required them to Repeal and Abrogate all such Laws as had been formerly made in derogation of the Catholick Religion Upon which Speech the Parliament begged pardon for their former Errors and told the Queen They were most ready to abrogate all Laws prejudicial to the See of Rome And thereupon the Cardinal gives them Absolution in these words We by the Apostolical Authority given unto Vs by the Most Holy Lord Pope Julius III. Christ's Vicegerent on Earth do Absolve and Deliver you and every of you with the whole Realm and the Dominions thereof from all Heresie and Schism and from all Judgments Censures and Pains in that Case incurred and also We do restore you again to the Vnity of Our Mother The Holy Church The Report hereof coming to Rome was cause of a Solemn Procession made for joy of the Conversion of England to the Church of Rome And thus was all the Kingdom of England turn'd Papists in one day by having a Popish Successor 12. March 1555. the Queen called to Her Four of Her Privy Council and signified unto them That it went against Her Conscience to hold the Lands and Possessions as well of Monasteries and Abbies as of other Churches and therefore did freely relinquish them and leave them to be disposed as the Pope and the said Cardinal should think fit And shortly after in performance hereof John Fecknam late Dean of Pauls was made
