The Bishops See is in Russin or Castle-Town and the Bishops are termed in Latine Episcopi Sodorenses The VVestern Islands now belonging to Scotland who have now a Bishop of their own did anciently belong to this Bishoprick The new Bishop upon a vacancy is nominated by the Lords of the Isle who have been the Stanleys Earles of Darby and presented to the King and then consecrated by the Archbishop of York And this seemeth to be the cause why the Bishop of Man is no Lord of the Parlament because it is not at the Kings disposing none having Suffrage in Parlament but those who hold immediately from the King The Names of the Bishops of this See are not exactly known having as yet no meanes to procure a Catalogue thereof such as are extant are these 1 Machilla A.

excluded Do we not read in one Melchizedek the Type of Christ both Prince and Priest joyned together Afterward were not Aaron and Moses the one as King the other as Chief-priest appointed by God as the leaders of the Church of God From this example Abiathar the Priest also Gad and Nathan the Prophets were Counsellours as well as Confessors to King David so was Azariah the son of Zadok the Priest a chief Prince and Counsellor to King Solomon so Jehojadah the Priest was a Father a Protector and a chief Director to King Joash who ceased to prosper when he wanted such a Counsellor 2. When no men may be presumed or indeed generally are and in all times have been so able in managing and advising of matters religious as eminent Bishops and well-chosen Church men certainly none were so fit as they to give account to the Prince and State of the true estate of the Church and Religion which are miserably mis-represented by other ignorant or envious Informers none so much layes to heart the true concerns of Religion or the interests of mens souls none will so much take care that these suffer no prejudice and detriment by any Lay-mens disorderly insolency or covetous encrochments 3. As for the preaching part of a Bishop or his residence and inspection to his particular Diocese it can be no hinderance as some men have pittifully pretended sometime to attend the general good of their own and all others Dioceses they may not be thought to neglect their own Cabin who are sometime imployed for the reparation or conservation of the whole Ship as my Lord Viscount Newark very honourably learnedly and eloquently expressed himself in the House of Peers where it was briefly disputed touching Bishops sitting as Peers in the House which they had done ever since there was an House of Christian Peers in England So that the pretended damage as to their particular care of their Diocese is abundantly compensated by the good they may do to the publick which may easily be as much as that was of the English and Scotch Presbyters who were dispensed with for many moneths Non-residency as to their particular Livings and charges when they were to attend the Assemblies great service of making a Catechize a Directory and helping to extirpate Bishops out of this Church and State 4. The retortion upon these Ministers especially who were so much enemies to Bishops being in any Council Civil or Ecclesiastick must needs be a most smart and severe conviction of their Partiality when we have daily seen so many petty Presbyterian and Independent Preachers as busie as Bees and every where eager Sticklers in all secular Councils and Affairs How did some of them haunt some Lords and Commons in the long Parlament How did they ply all Committees specially that for Religion which had swallowed up the Convocation How prone are they still uncalled to croud or insinuate into all publick yea into Cabinet-Counsels both military and civil What of concern in Church or State for these last eighteen years can move or pass without their suggestions whisperings and agitations Many publick Declarations savour much of their strain and form both for fancy and phrase especially if they regard any religious businesse of State as Fastings Humiliations Thanksgivings and the like which heretofore were managed by the counsel of great Bishops as able I believe as any of our new and little ones But it is not strange that some men should think themselves fit to be at both ends of all publick Counsels either laying or hatching them and yet be so eager against all Bishops who were full as honest and in all respects as able and worthy as the best of these Sticklers for nothing makes men more presumptuous of themselves or more envious against others than want of true knowledge of eithers dimensions 5. And lastly the very light of Nature makes it seem very preposterous and impolitick to exclude all Church-men of which Bishops were ever the chief Fathers out of all publick Counsels for all Nations have taught us that they did so far venerate their Gods and honour their Religion as never to carry on their chief Counsels publick Affairs of War or Peace for Religion or Civility without taking some of their Holy men and Priests into their Councils so King Balak cals for Balaam in his greatest exigencies so were the Pontifs or Flamens ever among the chief Roman Counsellors and Senators so were the Druids ever among the British and Gallick Parlaments so were the Magi among the Persian Princes so at this day are the Mufties among the Turks chief Counsel All Mankind knowing this that the best counsels are those which rise nearest to Jupiters Throne and are drawn from the clearest fountains of Divine Wisdom If the true God and the Son of God the Christians Saviour have justly the Titles of the All and Onely wise yea the wonderful Counsellors how I beseech you can it stand with any Christian sense or reason of State and true Religion to exclude those men beyond any from all publick Councils of Church and State who are most in Gods and Christs stead best studied and acquainted with the Divine Will Wisdom and Counsel in Gods Word I am sure so far as I am versed in any Histories neither this Church or State nor any other did ever flourish without Bishops among the prime Counsellors both in Parlament and other-where nor did they ever more flourish in Piety Peace and Plenty than when these had as great an influence as any other Men of Learning Worth and Wisdom How things may hereafter thrive where the Clergy are so nipt and frost-bitten time and success will best inform the survivers yet it is no very promising omen when neither Clergy-men are encouraged to be fit and able nor if fit and able are at any hand to be admitted to such publick use and honour when any others may whatever extraction rise and education they have had for they are not alwayes noble Rivers and ancient Springs of Vertue Wisdom and Honour but many times small Brooks and very inconsiderable Rivolets which aspire to this honour of contributing their small drops of Counsel into the great publick Cistern of Government And such were they as far as I understood men for the most part who with least patience could bear any Bishops to sit in counsel with them lest they should be miserably outshined and eclipsed by the others improved parts and well-known learning which vastly exceeded the small shreds and short ends which many other men were so highly conceited of in themselves whose Estates laid the greatest foundation of their Honour But I here crave the Readers pardon for this digression no way impertinent to my designe which is to demonstrate the merit and so far to recover the publick esteem and honor of good Bishops and all the Clergy such as they ever enjoyed in this and all other Christian States till these darker daies in
