l'Assemblée des Pretres conjointement avec l'Eveque cola a duré tant qu'il n'y a en dans chaque Ville qu'une Eglise qu'une Assembleé des pretres jointe a son Eveque Mais Aussitot qu'il fut necessaire d'augmenter le Nombre des Eglises il y ent a craindre que ceux qui les governoient ne S'attribuassent aussi la qualite d'Eveques ce qui fut cause que les Eveques commencerent a s'attribuer quelque autorité sur eux P. Sim. Supplement Ch. 4. Hist. des Revenus Ecclesiastiques Now Doctor I hope you will allow Father Simon to be as well vers'd in Rabbinical Learning as your self You see that he only insinuates their Imitation of the Jews but nothing of a Divine Warrant and plainly owns that the Superiority of Bishops over Presbyters is meerly of humane Original But I must tell you further Doctor that your Argument from the High-Priest of the Jews will be more conclusive for a Pope And if this be not argued like a Gentleman of his Guard it 's however argued like one that wishes him well For your brag as to St. Ierome reconcile it to his Commentary on Titus or your own Opinion with Dr. Holland's K. Iames the 6 th's Professor at Oxford Arch-bishop Whitgift's Dr. Fulk's and others of the Church of England The first in an Act at Oxford July 9. 1608. concluded That it was contrary to the Scriptures Fathers Doctrine of the Church of England and Schoolmen to say that Episcopatus est ordo distinctus à Presbyteratu coque superior Iure Divino And in the next place Doctor as a further Answer consider That there was no standing Officer appointed in the New-Testament-Church above a Deacon but a Presbyter And Clemens who lived in the first Century in his Epistle to the Corinthians telling them That God in the Jewish Church appointed a High Priest Priests and Levites names no other Orders of Ministry in the Christian Church but Bishops and Deacons His words are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And Pag. 57. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Note this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 imports here 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 because Pag. 57 58 he shews that the Controversy was not about the Name but Dignity of Episcopacy because they were about deposing their godly Presbyters or Bishops But Doctor my next Attaque shall be upon your Evidence Sir William Paterson who is pleased to treat Mr. Ridpath with the genteel Terms of Villain Rascal Varlet c. though at the same time Mr. Ridpath is content to refer it to any Herald in Scotland Whether the Family whence he is descended or Sir William's be the best It can be very well instructed that the Family of Ridpath is of the same Original with the Gordons both by the Heralds Books their armorial Bearings and constant Tradition And I think there 's none will deny that the Family of Gordon is one of the eldest and greatest Families in Scotland The History of Douglas does also own that their Princely Family did not think it below them to espouse the Quarrel of that of Ridpath the best Families of the Mers as those of Swinton Cockburn c. will not disown their having been allied to them And there 's yet a Monument in Cranshaw's Church at the Head of that which was formerly the Baron of Ridpath's Seat demonstrating that one of our Kings did not think it below him to be the Guest of that Family and to honour them with his Company to Church This I have much ado to prevail with Mr. Ridpath to let pass as being of the Opinion that all such things are but Vanity and that sola Virtus nobilitat nor would he have indeed suffered it but that his malicious Enemies think it their Interest to revile and vilify him because forsooth he was a Servant though at the same time he was never Servant to any Man but in a Station becoming a Scholar and thinks it no disgrace to be so still And as for being Servant to the two Sons of one Mr. Grey it 's false he had no concern but with one of the Greys and that was as an Assistant in his Studies and that Gentleman did then and does still treat him as his Companion nor is he asham'd to own that he serves Mr. Grey now As for Dr. Cant's having found the Bond of Combination as he calls it upon Mr. R. it 's also false nor was ever the Original Bond found by any of your Party though Mr. Massey who was his Regent had a foul Copy of the Bond from Mr. Grey which must be that if there be any that is in the Council Office And if it be there he dares refer to it to prove Sir William's Falshood as to that Clause inviting Prentices and all others to join in the Association for there was never any such in it But lest Sir William or any of his Gang have corrupted it I shall by and by exhibit an attested Copy to prove what I say And it is as false that any Ring-leader of the Presbyterians or any other were concern'd in framing the Design besides the Students themselves Nor was it ever design'd as a Prologue to any Rebellion as Sir William does aver Neither has Mr. R. any reason to believe that he would have been spared could the Law have reach'd him or could they have found a Jury to have condemn'd him for the Proceedings against him on that Head were universally abhor'd by all Protestants in general those of Sir William and the Doctor 's Kidney excepted As to the Benefit which Mr. R. had by the D. of York's Clemency we shall hear anon And as to the falseness of his Answer to the D. of Rothes and other great Lords he defies Sir William to instance in one But to set this whole Matter in its true Light take this short but true Narrative of it Mr. R. having upon reading the account of the Pope burning at London moved it first himself to some of his fellow Students the Design was so laid afterwards that it could not well nor did not miscarry though the two Mr. Greys Mr. Guthry Mr. R. and others were taken up the Night before the burning of the Pope on design to prevent it and after the Business was done examined by Sir George Mackenzie the King's Advocate but Mr. R. being sufficiently possessed with the Apprehensions of the then raging Tyranny he refus'd to answer though threatned with Torture till he was perswaded thereunto by his Regent Mr. Massey who told him in a very Friendly manner by himself that my Lord Advocate only desir'd to know whether any other than the Students were concerned in the Contrivance for if it happened to be so that it was only a Project of their own the Council would pass it over as a puerile Business whereupon Mr. R. confessed that he drew the Bond and after several Questions upon that Head was discharged which
