AS in Nature there is hardly a Poyson growing any where but in the same place there groweth an Antidote against it so in Nations seldome do the loose principles of Licentiousness Rebellion and Disorder prevail so universally but that in the same Nation the more excellent principles of Reason Religion Laws and Allegiance bear up against them Various have been the shapes and pretences under which the Lusts of men for all the disorders in the world are nothing else but Lust casting off the restraint God hath laid upon it by Government have indeavoured since God set up Government to keep men civil and quiet in this world as he did Religion to prepare them for another world to shake and invalidate the obligations both of Religion and Government in all places of the world for most pretences last but an Age in which time they are looked through exploded abhorred and must be shifted How men willing to live at the highest freedom of a loose Nature have in this Nation endeavoured in several generations to overthrow all the Checks Restraints Rules and Disciplines of Religion is not so properly the business of this place as it is commonly the subject of every discourse elswhere The pretentions and appearances under which those that have made a pretty good shift to suppress all those Principles of Honesty Sobriety and Obedience that Religion curbed them withal within
conscience I could subscribe to the Church of Rome what should have kept me here before my imprisonment to indure the libelling and the slander and the base usage that hath been put upon me and these to end in this question for my life I say I would know a good reason for this First my Lords is it because of any pledges I have in the world to sway me against my conscience No sure for I have neither Wife nor Children to cry out upon me to stay with them And if I had I hope the calling of my conscience should be heard above them Is it because I was loth to leave the honor and profit of the place I was risen too Surely no for I desire your Lordships and all the world should know I do much scorn the one and the other in comparison of my conscience Besides it cannot be imagined by any man but that if I should have gone over to them I should not have wanted both honor and profit and suppose not so great as this I have here yet sure would my conscience have served my self of either less with my conscience would have prevailed with me more than greater against my conscience Is it because I lived here at ease and was loth to venture my loss of that not so neither for whatsoever the world may be pleased to think of me I have led a very painful life and such as I would have been content to change had I well known how and would my conscience have served me that way I am sure I might have lived at far more ease and either have avoided the barbarous Libelling and other bitter grievous scorns which have been put upon me or at least been out of the hearing of them Not to trouble your Lordships too long I am so innocent in the business in Religion so free from all practise or so much as thought of practise for any alteration unto Popery or any blemishing the true Protestant Religion established in England as I was when my mother first bore me into the world And let nothing be spoken but truth and I do here challenge whatsoever is between Heaven or Hell that can be said against me in point of my Religion in which I have ever hated dissimulation And had I not hated it perhaps I might have been better for worldly safety then now I am but it can no way become a Christian Bishop to halt with God Lastly if I had any purpose to blast the true Religion established in the Church of England and to introduce Popery sure I took a wrong way to it for my Lords I have staid more going to Rome and reduced more that were already gone then I believe any Bishop or Divine in this Kingdom hath done and some of them men of great abilities and some persons of great place and is this the way to introduce Popery My Lords if I had blemished the true Protestant Religion how could I have brought these men to it And if I had promised to introduce Popery I would never have reduced these men from it And that it may appear unto Your Lordships how many and of what condition the persons are which by Gods blessing upon my labors I have setled in the true Protestant Religion established in England I shall briefly name some of them though I cannot do it in order of time as I converted them Henry Berkinstead of Trinity Colledge Oxon seduced by a Iesuite and brought to London The Lords and others conceiving him to be Berchinhead the Author of all the Libellous Popish Oxford Aulieusses against the Parliament at the naming of him smiled which the Archbishop perceiving said My Lords I mean not Berchinhead the Author of Oxford Aulicus but another Two Daughters of Sir Richard Lechford in Surrey sent towards a NVNNERY Two Scholars of Saint Iohns Colledge Cambridge Toppin and Ashton who got the French Ambassadors pass and after this I allowed means to Toppin and then procured him a fellowship in Saint Iohns And he is at this present as hopeful a young man as any of his time and a Divine Sir William Webbe my kinsman and two of his Daughters And his Son I took from him and his Father being utterly decayed I bred him at my own charge and he is a very good Protestant A Gentleman brought to me by Mr. Chesford his Majesties Servant but I cannot recal his name The Lord Mayo of Ireland brought to me also by Mr. Chesford The Right Honorable the Lord Duke of Buckingham almost quite gone between the Lady his Mother and Sister The Lady Marquess Hamilton was setled by my direction and she dyed very religiously and a Protestant Mr. Digby who was a Priest Mr. Iames a Gentleman brought to me by a Minister in Buckingham-shire as I remember Dr. Heart the Civilian my Neighbours Son at Fulham Mr. Christopher Seaburne a Gentleman of an ancient Family in Hereford-shire The Right Honorable the Countess of Buckingham Sir William Spencer of Parnton Mr. Shillingworth The Sons and Heirs of Mr. Winchcombe and Mr. Wollescott whom I sent with their friends liking to Wadham-Colledge Oxford and received a Certificate Anno 1631. of their continuing in conformity to the Church of England Nor did ever any one of these I have named relapse again but only the Countess of Buckingham and Sir William Spencer it being only in Gods power not mine to preserve them from relapse And now let any Clergy-man of England come forth and give a better accompt of his zeal to the Church To the Accusation against him about Imposing a Liturgy upon the Church of Scotland he gave in this true Narrative DOctor Iohn Maxwell the late Bishop of Rosse came to me from his Majesty It was during the time of a great sickness which I had Anno 1629. which is eleven years since The cause of his coming was to speak with me about a Lyturgie for Scotland At this time I was so extream ill that I saw him not And had death which I then expected daily seased on me I had not seen this heavy day After this when I was able to sit up he came to me again and told me It was his Majesties pleasure that I should receive some instructions from some Bishops of Scotland concerning a Lyturgrie that he was imployed about it I told him I was clear of opinion that if his Majesty would have a Lyturgie setled there different from what they had already it was best to take the English Lyturgie without any variation that so the same Service-book might pass through all his Majesties Dominions To this he replied that he was of a contrary opinion and that not he only but the Bishops there thought their Country-men would be much better satisfied if a Lyturgie were made by their own Bishops but withal that it might be according to the form of our English Book I added if this were the resolution I would do nothing till I might by Gods blessing have
