their inspirations and commands from Geneva thought fit for example sake and fear to let the Law so much by them violated take her course whereby Copping and Thacker were hang'd at Saint Edmondsbury in Suffolk Barrow and Greenwood were executed at Tyburn Coppinger dyed in Prison and Hacket was hang'd by the Cross in Cheapside the two last were more extravagant then the rest falling to open blasphemy Nor did John Penry a Welshman escape this was the man who made those scurrilous Pamphlets against our Church under the title of Martin Mar Prelate a man so much guilty of his own villanies that with Cain he feared death from every mans hand and therefore was forced to sculk and ramble amongst his brethren for protection so that his Antagonist was not amisse when he sang of him thus Qui tantum constans in knavitate sua est He was taken at Stepney and condemned for felony and hang'd at Saint Thomas Waterings Upon whose death an honest Northern Rimer made these Couplets The Welshman is hanged Who at our Kirke flanged And at our state banged And brened are his buks. And though he be hanged Yet he is not wranged The De'ul has him fanged In his kruked kluks Besides these Udal Billot Studley and Bouler were condemned yet through the Queens mercy were reprieved and Cartwright and some others were imprisoned These round dealings did a little terrifie the rest of them and gave a check to the furiousnesse of the wiser sort But yet having some of the Nobility their Patrons whether for Conscience or Policy let others judge as Leicester Lord North Burleigh Shrewsbury Warwick Walsingham Sir Francis Knollys Mr. Beal Clerk of the Council and others they took heart again and proceeded in their Consultations and Actions as formerly Nor was Arch-bishop Grindal thought to be so vigilant as his place required for which he got the Queens displeasure Yet formerly had they kept meetings of some of their Ministers to carry on their intended innovations but privately for fear of discovery The first known to be kept in England was at Wandsworth in Surry 1572. Novemb. 20. Another they had at Cockfield in Suffolk where threescore of their Ministers met 1582. May 8. where they consulted concerning our Common-Prayer-book Canonical Apparel and other Ceremonies of the Church though they had no call but their own presumption And because they resolved to be vigilant they had another Synod passing by one also the same year at Cambridge where was drawn up a form of Discipline scorning to submit to Ours or Anthority by which they were to be guided of which thus a painful and learned Antiquary will inform us Inventing out of their own corky brains a new certain no-form of Liturgy to themselves thereby to bring into the Church all disorder and confusion And in the same Assembly they made a Collection for their Scottish brethren who fled into England for their guilt of high Treason and what loyalty can be expected from such traiterous Assistants let moderate men judge though I am apt to give some credit to one of our old English Versifyers Nor Queen in her Kingdom can or ought to sit fast If Knox or Goodman's books blow any true blast After this another Synod was held at Coventry 1588. June 10. where they imperiously condemned the reading of Homilies Crosse in Baptism that Bishops ordination by them and their autherity are all unlawful and that a Bishop is neither Doctor Elder nor Deacon And besides all this they decree that occasions are to be sought to bring the people in liking to their Discipline and that those of deeper apprehensions shall be drawn to it by all private allurements possibly And these positions with others were carried cunningly abroad to be subscribed by all to make their faction more unanimous And many other Meetings and Assemblies they had at London Oxford Cambridge and other places to carry on their designs as appears by the confession of Mr. Thomas Stone and the Collections of the Right Reverend Bancroft And so powerful were they grown amongst some of the Nobility and Gentry that at the Parliament at Westminster 1585. they were so vigilant by their whispering with the Members day and night that if the Queen had not interposed her authority they might have given the Bishops a scurvy lift by the assistance of their Schismatical Brethren by them voted into the House To this Parliament the Non-conformists having framed another Book by them called A Book of the Form of Common Prayers c. in which was contained the substance of their pretended Discipline To this Representative I say in them having great hopes they presented this book With this Petition May it therefore please your Majesty that it may be Enacted that the Book hereunto annexed Intituled A Book of the Form of Common-prayers Administratien of Sacraments and every thing therein contained may be from henceforth authorized put in ure and practised throughout all your Majesties Dominions By this they shewed themselves no enemies to set Forms of Prayer but only that they not others should have the honour of making it Like the Cardinal who confess 't that Reformation was necessary but was vext that Luther should undertake it And at the Dissolution of this Parliament Queen Elizabeth takes special notice of our Innovators for finding fault with our orderly Church-government the which humour she not unfitly terms New fanglednesse I might here tell you of many more bold actions in this Queen's time used by these Renegadoes as a very serious and learned Gentleman calleth them But only one shall instance for an hundred to shew you how partial they were in all their dealings as to make the Proverb true that Kissing goeth by favour and this shall be of one of their grand Masters viz. Mr. Snape and thus it was in brief Mr. John Nelson of Northampton one of their Elders or Deacons had his Worship's daughter classically got with child by his serving-man nor durst the Elders maid associate with the same species that the Mistris doth For this Snape brings the poor man to publick repentance and ignominy amongst his neighbours nor do I blame him if he had used the Gentlewoman so too and impowred to do it but she O she was the Daughter of a rich Brother and Sectaries were of old observed to gain most by pleasuring simple women and colloguing with those who had full coffers She therefore good soul was esteemed to run counter to the Primitive Fall there the woman but here the man or rather poverty is judged the tempter But because the Country had both eyes and ears therefore a marriage was thought most plausible to vindicate the Brethren the which was accordingly performed by a lame Souldier of Barwick by the appointment of Snape by whose order the same Souldier had married many others at the same place And it may be Barebone's Parliament drew their new model of coupling
