that the Doctor sayes is this that as the University of Cambridge was of a later foundation then Oxford was so it was long before it grew into esteem that is to say to such a measure of esteem at home or abroad before the building of Kings Colledge and the rest that followed but that the King might use those words in his discourse with the Bishop of Winchester And for the Narrative the Doctor whom I have talked with in this businesse doth not shame to say that he borrowed it from that great Treasury of Academical Antiquities Mr. Brian Twine whose learned Works stand good against all Opponents and that he found the passage justified by Sir Isaack Wake in his Rex Platonicus Two Persons of too great wit and judgement to relate a matter of this nature on no better ground than common Table-talk and that too spoke in merriment by Sir Henry Savil. Assuredly Sir Henry Savil was too great a Zealot for that University and too much a friend to Mr. Wake who was Fellow of the same Colledge with him to have his Table-talk and discourses of merriment to be put upon Record as grounds and arguments for such men to build on in that weighty Controversie And therefore when our Author tells us what he was told by Mr. Hubbard Mr. Hubbard by Mr. Barlow Mr. Barlow by Mr. Bust and Mr. Bust by Sir Henry Savil. It brings into my minde the like Pedegree of as true a Story even that of Mother Miso in Sir Philip Sidney telling the young Ladies an old Tale which a good old woman told her which an old wise man told her which a great learned Clerk told him and gave it him in writing and there she had it in her Prayer-book as here our Author hath found this on the end of his Creed Not much unlike to which is that which I finde in the Poet Quae Phaebo Pater omnipotens mihi Phoebus Apollo Praedixâ—t vobis Furiarum ego maxima pando That is so say What Iove told Phoebus Phoebus told to me And I the chief of Furies tell to thee Fuller The controversie betwixt us consists about a pretended Speech of King Henry the sixth to Bishop Wainfleet perswading him to found a Colledge at Oxford To whom the King is said to return Yea rather at Cambridge that if it be possible I may have two Universities in England A passage pregnant with an Inference which delivereth it self without any Midwifry to help it viz. that till the time of King Henry the sixth Cambridge was no or but an obsâ—ure University both being equally untrue The Animadvertor will have the speech grounded on good Authority whilest I more than suspect to have been the frolick of the fancie of S. Isaack Wake citing my Author for my beliefe which because removed four descents is I confesse of the lesse validity Yet is it better to take a Truth from the tenth than a Falshood from the first hand Both our Relations ultimately terminate in Sir Isaack Wake by the Animadvertor confessed the first printed Reporter thereof I confess S. I. Wake needed none but Sr. Isaack Wake to attest the truth of such thing which he had heard or seen himself In such Case his bare Name commandeth credit with Posterity But relating a passage done at distance some years before his great Grandfather was rockt in his Cradle we may and must doe that right to our own Iudgement as civily to require of him security for what he affirmeth especially seeing it is so clog'd with such palpable improbabilitie Wherefore till this Knights invisible Author be brought forth into light I shall remain the more confirmed in my former Opinion Rex Platonicus alone sounding to me in this point no more than Plato's Commonwealth I mean a meer Wit work or Brain-Being without any other real existence in Nature Dr. Heylin But to proceed Fol. 190. This was that Nevil who for Extraction Estate Alliance Dependents Wisdome Valour Success and Popularity was superiour to any English Subject since the Conquest Our Author speaks this of that Richard Nevil who was first Earl of Warwick in right of Anne his Wife Sister Heir of Henry Beauchamp the last of that Family and after Earl of Salisbury by discent from his Father a potent and popular man indeed but yet not in all or in any of those respects to be match'd with Henry of Bullenbrook son to Iohn of Gaunt whom our Author must needs grant to have lived since the time of the Conquest Which Henry after the death of his Father was Duke of Lancaster and Hereford Earl of Leicester Lincoln and Darby c. and Lord High Steward of England Possessed by the donation of King Henry the third of the County Palatine of Lancaster the forfeited Estates of Simon de Montfort Earl of Leicester Robert de Ferrars Earl of Darby and Iohn Lord of Monmouth By the compact made between Thomas Earl of Lancaster and Alice his Wife of the Honor of Pomfret the whole Estate of the Earl of Lincoln and a great part of the Estates of the Earl of Salisbury of the goodly Territories of Ogmore and Kidwelly in Wales in right of his descent from the Chaworths of the Honor and Castle of Hartford by the grant of King Edward the third and of the Honor of Tickhill in Yorkshire by the donation of King Richard the second and finally of a Moity of the vast Estate of Humphry de Bohun Earl of Hereford Essex and Northampton in right of his Wife So royal in his Extraction that he was Grandchilde unto one King Cousin-german to another Father and Grand-father to two more So popular when a private person and that too in the life of his Father that he was able to raise and head an Army against Richard the Second with which he discomfited the Kings Forces under the command of the Duke of Ireland So fortunate in his Successes that he not onely had the better in the Battail mentioned but came off with Honor and Renown in the War of Africk and finally obtained the Crown of England And this I trow renders him much Superior to our Authors Nevil whom he exceeded also in this particular that he dyed in his bed and left his Estates unto his Son But having got the Crown by the murther of his Predecessor it stai'd but two descents in his Line being unfortunately lost by King Henry the sixth of whom being taken and imprisoned by those of the Yorkish Faction our Author telleth us Fuller It never came into my thoughts to extend the Parallel beyond the line of Subjection confining it to such as moved only in that Sphere living and dying in the Station of a Subject and thus far I am sure I am â—ight that this our Nevil was not equal'd much lesse exceeded by any English-man since the Conquest As for Henry Duke of Lancaster his Coronet was afterwards turned into a Crown and I never intended comparison with one who became a

We must attribute the main to Divine Providence blessing the Gospel A name too high to be bestowed upon the Fancies of a private man many of whose Opinions were so far from truth so contrary to peace and civil Order so inconsistent with the Government of the Church of Christ as make them utterly unworthy to be look'd on as a part of the Gospel Or if the Doctrines of Wickliffe must be call'd the Gospel what shall become of the Religion then establisht in the Realm of England and in most other parts of the Western World Were all but Wickliffes Followers relaps'd to Heathenism were they turn'd Jews or had imbrac'd the Law of Mahomet If none of these and that they still continued in the faith of Christ delivered to them in the Gospels of the four Evangelists and other Apostolicall Writers Wickliffes new Doctrines could not challenge the name of Gospel noâ— ought it to be given to him by the Pen of any But such is the humor of some men as to call every separation from the Church of Rome by the name of Gospel the greater the separation is the more pure the Gospel No name but that of Evangelici would content the Germans when they first separated from that Church and reformed their own And Harry Nichols when he separated from the German Churches and became the Father of Familists bestows the name of Evangelium Regni on his Dreams and Dotages Gospels of this kinde we have had and may have too many quot Capita tâ—t Fides as many Gospels in a manner as Sects and Sectaries if this world goe on Now as Wickliffes Doctrines are advanc'd to the name of Gospel so his Followers whatsoever they were must be called Gods servants the Bishops being said fol. 151. to be busie in persecuting Gods servants and for what crime soever they were brought to punishment it must be thought they suffered onely for the Gospel and the service of God A pregnant evidence whereof we have in the story of Sir Iohn Oldcastle accused in the time of King Harry the fifth for a design to kill the King and his Brethren actually in Arms against that King in the head of 20000 men attainted for the same in open Parliament and condemn'd to die and executed in St. Giles his Fields accordingly as both Sir Roger Acton his principal Counsellor and 37 of his Accomplices had been before For this we have not onely the Authority of our common Chronicles Walsingham Stow and many others but the Records of the Tower and Acts of Parliament as is confessed by our Author fol. 168. Yet coming out of Wickliffes Schools and the chief Scholar questionlesse which was train'd up in them he must be Registred for a Martyr in Fox his Calendar And though our Author dares not quit him as he sayes himself yet such is his tendernesse and respect to Wickliffes Gospel that he is loath to load his Memory with causlesse Crimes fol. 167. taxeth the Clergie of that time for their hatred to him discrediteth the relation of T. Walsingham and all later Authors who are affirm'd to follow him as the Flock their Belweather and finally leaves it as a special verdict to the last day of the Revelation of the righteous Iudgements of God Fuller First I fain would know whether the Animadvertor would be contented with the Condition of the Church of England as Wickliffe found it for Opinions and Practise and doth not earnestly desire a Reformation thereof I am charitably confident that He doth desire such an Emendation and therefore being both of us agreed in this Point of the convenience yea necessity thereof in the second place I would as fain be satisfied from the Animadvertor whether He conceived it possible that such Reformation could be advanced without Miracle all on a sodain so that many grosse Errors would not continue and some new one be superadded The man in the Gospel first saw men walking as trees before he saw perfectly Nature hath appointed the Twilight as a Bridge to passe us out of Night into Day Such false and wild opinions like the Scales which fell down from the Eyes of St. Paul when perfectly restored to his sight have either vanished or been banished out of all Protestant Confession Far be it from me to account the rest of England relapsed into Atheism or lapsed in Iudaism Turcism c. whom I behold as Erronious Christians

Thirdly the Lord Keeper who read that Scrole was not the Lord Keeper VVilliams but the Lord Keeper Coventry the Seal being taken from the Bishop of Lincoln and committed to the custody of Sir Thomas Coventry in October before And therefore fourthly our Author is much out in placing both the Coronation and the following Parliament before the change of the Lord Keeper and sending Sir Iohn Suckling to fetch that Seal at the end of a Parliament in the Spring which he had brought away with him before Michaelmas Term. But as our Author was willing to keep the Bishop of Lincoln in the Deanry of Westminster for no less then five or six years after it was confer'd on another so is he as desirous to continue him Lord Keeper for as many months after the Seal had been entrusted to another hand Fuller This also is an errour I neither can nor will defend the Lord Keeper Williams put for the Lord Keeper Coventry which hath betrayed me to some consequentiall incongruities I will not plead for my self in such a Suit where I foresee the Verdict will go against me Onely I move as to mitigation of Costs and Dammages that greater slips have fallen from the Pens of good Historians Mr. Speed in his Chronicle first Edition page 786. speaking of Henry eldest son to King Henry the eighth maketh Arch-Bishop Cranmer mistaken for Warham his God-father twenty four years before Cranmer ever sat in that See I write not this to accuse him but in part to excuse my self by paralleling mine with as evident a mistake I hope my free confession of my fault with promise of emendation of It and the Appendants thereof in my next Edition will meet with the Reader 's absolution And let the Animadvertor for the present if so pleased make merry and feast himself on my mistake assuring him that he is likely to fast a long time hereafter Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds f. 122. The Earl of Arundel as Earl Marshal of England the Duke of Buckingham as Lord high Constable of England for that day went before his Majesty in that great Solemnity In this passage and the next that follows our Author shewes himself as bad an Herald in marshalling a Royal Show as in stating the true time of the creation of a noble Peer Here in this place he placeth the Earl Marshall before the Constable whereas by the Statute 31 H. 8. c. 10. the Constable is to have precedency before the Marshall Nor want there precedents to shew that the Lord High Constable did many times direct his Mandats to the Earl Marshall as one of the Ministers of his Court willing and requiring him to perform such and such services as in the said Precepts were expressed Fuller My Heraldry is right both in Place and Time The Earl of Arundel as Earl Marshall went after the Duke of Buckingham as Lord High Constable though going before him For Barons went in this Royall Procession at the Kings Coronation before Bishops Bishops before Viscounts Viscounts before Earls the meaner before the greater Officers of State Thus the Lord Constable though the last was the first because of all Subjects nearest to the person of the Soveraign It seemeth the dayes were very long when the Animadvertor wrote these causless cavills which being now grown very short I cannot afford so much time in confuting them This his cavilling mindeth me of what he hath mistaken in his Geography For the younger son of an English Earl comming to Geneva desired a Carp for his dinner having read in the Doctor 's Geography that the Lemman Lake had plenty of the Fish and the best and biggest of that kind The people wondred at his desire of such a dainty which that place did not afford but told him That they had Trouts as good and great as any in Europe Indeed learned Gesner doth observe that the Trouts caught in this Lake sent to and sold at Lions are mistaken for Salmons by strangers unacquainted with their proportions It seems the Animadvertor's Pen is so much given to cavilling that he turned Trouts into Carps though none of them so great as this his CARP at me for making the Lord Marshall to go before the Lord Constable at the King's Coronation Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Ibid. That the Kings Train being six yards long of Purple Vâ—lvet was held up by the Lord Compton and the Lord Viscount Dorcester That the Lord Compton was one of them which held up the Kings Train I shall easily grant he being then Master of the Robes and thereby challenging a right to perform this service But that the Lord Viscount Dorcester was the other of them I shall never grant there being no such Viscount at the time of the Coronation I cannot say but that Sir Dudley Carlton might be one of those which held up the Train though I am not sure of it But sure I am that Sir Dudley Carlton was not made Baron of Imber-court till towards the latter end of the following Parliament of Anno 1606. nor created Viscount Dorcester untill some years after Fuller It is a meer mistake of the Printer for Viscount Doncaster son of and now himself the Earl of Carlile whose Father having a great Office in the Wardrobe this place was proper for him to perform All will presume me knowing enough in the Orthography of his Title who was my Patron when I wrote the Book and whom I shall ever whilst I live deservedly honour for his great bounty unto me Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds fol. 122. The Lord Arch-bishop did present his Majesty to the Lords and Commons East West North South asking their minds four severall times if they did consent to the Coronation of King Charls their lawfull Soveraign This is a piece of new State-doctrine never known before that the Coronation of the King and consequently his Succession to the Crown of England should depend on the consent of the Lords and Commons who were then assembled the Coronation not proceeding as he after telleth us till their consent was given four times by Acclamations Fuller I exactly follow the Language of my worthy Intelligencer a Doctor of Divinity still alive rich in Learning and Piety present on the place and an exact observer of all passages and see no reason to depart to depart from it I am so far from making the Coronation of the Soveraign depend on the consent of his Subjects that I make not the Kingly power depend on his Coronation who before it and without it is lawfull and effectuall King to all purposes and intents This was not a consent like that of the Bride to the Bride-groom the want whereof doth null the Marriage but a meer ceremoniall one in majorem Pompam which did not make but manifest not constitute but

Some of the aged Bishops had their tongues so used to the language of a third Estate that more then once they ran on that reputed Rock in their speeches for which they were publickly shent and enjoyned an acknowledgment of their mistake By whom they were so publickly shent and who they were that so ingenuously acknowledged their mistake as my Author telleth us not so neither can I say whether it be true or false Fuller I tell you again It is true The Earl of Essex and the Lord Say were two of the Lords though this be more then I need discover who checked them And of two of those Bishops Dr. Hall late Bishop of Norwich is gone to God and the other is still alive Dr. Heylyn But I must needs say that there was small ingenuity in acknowledging a mistake in that wherein they had not been mistaken or by endeavouring to avoid a reputed Rock to run themselves on a certain Rock even the Rock of Scandall Fuller Their brief and generall acknowledgment that they vvere sorry that they had spoken in this point vvhat had incurred the displeasure of the Temporall Lords was no trespass on their own ingenuity nor had shadovv of scandall to others therein I confess men must not bear fals-witness either against themselves or others nor may they betray their right especially when they have not onely a personall concernment therein but also are in some sort Feoffees in trust for Posterity However vvhen a predominant Power plainly appears which will certainly over-rule their cause against them without scandall they may not to say in Christian prudence they ought to wave the vindication of their priviledges for the present waiting wishing and praying for more moderate and equall times wherein they may assert their right with more advantage to their cause and less danger to their persons Dr. Heylyn For that the English Bishops had their vote in Parliament as a third Estate and not in the capacity of temporal Barons will evidently appear by these reasons following For first the Clergy in all other Christian Kingdoms of these Northwest parts make the third Estate that is to say in the German Empire as appears by Thuanus the Historian lib. 2. In France as is affirmed by Paulus Aemilius lib. 9. In Spain as testifieth Bodinus in his De Repub. lib. 3. For which consult also to the Generall History of Spain as in point of practise lib. 9 10 11 14. In Hungary as witnesseth Bonfinius Dec. 2. l. 1. In Poland as is verified by Thunus also lib. 56.

The Swedes observing antiently the same form and order of Government as was us'd by the Danes The like we find in Camden for the Realm of Scotland in which antiently the Lords Spirituall viz. Bishops Abbots Priors made the third Estate And certainly it were very strange if the Bishops and other Prelates in the Realm of England being a great and powerfull body should move in a lower Sphere in England then they do elsewhere But secondly not to stand onely upon probable inferences we find first in the History of Titus Livius touching the Reign and Acts of King Henry the fifth that when his Funerals were ended the three Estates of the Realm of England did assemble togeâ—her and declared his Son King Henry the sixth being an Infant of eight months old to be their Soveraign Lord as his Heir and Successor And if the Lords Spirituall did not then make the third Estate I would know who did Secondly the Petition tendred to Richard Duke of Glocester to accept the Crown occurring in the Parliament Rolls runs in the name of the three Estates of the Realm that is to say The Lords Spirituall and Temporall and the Commons thereof Thirdly in the first Parliament of the said Richard lately Crowned King it is said expresly that at the request and by the consent of the three Estates of this Realm that is to say the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons of this Land assembled in this present Parliament and by Authority of the same it be pronounced decreed and declared That our said Soveraign Lord the King was and is the very and undoubted King of this Realm of England c.

as Authors generally agree King Edward instituted the Order of the Garter Right enough as unto the time but much mistaken in some things which relate unto that ancient and most noble Order our Author taking up his Commodities at the second hand neither consulting the Records nor dealing in this businesse with men of credit Fuller I am now come under the Roof of the Animadvertor who by the Laws of Hospitality is bound to treat me the more courteously I mean I am entred into a Subject wherein he is well seen and therefore might favourably connive at my small slips being therein best studied It is severely said that in this businesse I dealt with no men of credit The highest person next the Son of the King wearing a blew Ribbon was pleased so far to favour me as that from his own mouth I wrote the last sheet of my History his Grace endeavouring to be very exact in all particulars Dr. Heylin For first there are not fourteen Canons resident in the Church of Windsor but thirteen onely with the Dean it being King Edwards purpose when he founded that Order consisting of twenty six Knights himself being one to institute as many greater and lesser Canons and as many old Soldiers commonly called poor Knights to be pensioned there Though in this last the number was not made up to his first intention Fuller The mistake such an one as it is shall be amended in my next Edition Dr. Heylin He tells us secondly that if he be not mistaken as indeed he is Sir Thomas Row was the last Chanoellor of the Order Whereas Sir Iames Palmer one of the Gentlemen Huishers of the Privy Chamber succeeded him in the place of Chancellor after his decease Anno 1644. Fuller The Animadvertor is very discourteous to deny me the benefit of the Parenthesis If I be not mistaken The best Authors have their Ni fallor Si quid video Si bene intelligo and the like These are Grains allowed to all Pieces currant in payment Sir Thomas Roe was the last Chancellor who effectually officiated in his place Winsor before the year 1644. being a chief Garrison of the Parliament Tully calls a Consul chosen in the morning and put out before night a Vigilant Consul who never slept in all his Coâ—sulship But on another occasion one may say of Sir Iames Palmer otherwise a worthy Gentleman well deserving that and a better place that He was a very watchfull Chancellor who never slept in Winsor whilst invested in his Office Dr. Heylin He tels us thirdly That there belongs unto it one Register being alwayes the Dean of Winsor which is nothing so For though the Deans of late times have been Registers also yet ab initio non fuit sic it was not so from the beginning The first Dean was also Register being Iohn Boxul Anno 1557. Before which time beginning at the year 1414. there had been nine Registers which were not Deans but how many more before that time I am not able to say their names not being on Record Fuller I say not that the Register alwaies Was the Dean but being alwaies the Dean which relating to our and our fathers memories is right enough but it shall be reformed Dr. Heylin And fourthly he tels us That the Garter is one of the extraordinary Habiliments of the Knights of this Order their ordinary being onely the blew Ribbon about their necks with the Picture of St. George appendant and the Sun in his glory on the left shoulder of their Cloak whereas indeed the Garter is of common wearing and of such necessary use that the Knights are not to be seen abroad without it upon pain of paying two Crowns to any Officer of the Order who shall first claim it unlesse they be to take a journey in which case it is sufficient to wear a blew Ribbon under their Boots to denote the Garter Lastly whereas our Author tells us that the Knights hereof doe weare on the left shoulder of their Cloaks a Sun in his glory and attributes this wearing as some say to King Charles I will first put him out of doubt that this addition was King Charles his then shew him his mistake in the matter it self And first in the first year of that King Apr. 26. 1626. it was thus enacted at a publick Chapter of the Order viz. That all Knights and Companions of the Order shall wear upon the left part of their Cloaks Coats and riding Cassocks at all times when they shall not wear their Roabs and in all places of Assembly an Escocheon of the Armes of St. George id est a Crosse within a Garter not enriched with Pearls or Stones in token of the honour which they hold from the said most noble Order instituted and ordained for persons of the highest worth and honour Our Author secondly may perceive by this Act of the Kings that St. Georges Crosse within the Garter is the main device injoyned to be worn by all the Knights of that noble Order to which the adding of the Sun in his glory served but for ornament and imbellishing and might be either used or not used but onely for conformities sake as they would themselves Fuller This Sun in Glory affords me small light so that I can see but very little if any thing at all which I have to alter Dr. Heylin So many Errors in so few lines one shall hardly meet with Fuller Yea with more in fewer lines even in the Animadvertor himself in laying down the Root and Branches of the noble family of the Montagues Mistakes the more remarkable because done in correction of Mr. Sanderson and making more faults that He mendeth Or rather all is but one mistake resulting from a continued complication of omissions confusions and transpositions Advertisements on the History of the Reign of King Iames pag. 21 22. Fol. 490. Sir Edward Montague had three sonnes Edward the eldest Knight of the Bath c. The Author here is much mistaken in the House of the Montagues For first that Edward Montague who was Knight of the Bath c. was not Brother to Iames Bishop of Winchester and Henry Earl of Manchester but their Brothers Son that is to say the Son of another Edward their eldest Brother Secondly besides that Edward Iames and Henry there was another Brother whom the Author names not though he could not chuse but know the man viz. Sir Sidney Montague one of the Masters of the Requests to the late King Charles Therefore to set this matter right I am to let both him and his Readers know that Sir Edward Montague chief Justice in the time of King Edward the sixth was father of another Edward who lived peaceably and nobly in his own Country To whom succeeded a third Edward who sought for honour in the Wars and gained the reputation of a good Commander the elder Brother of Iames Henry and Sidney before mentioned and the father of a fourth Edward who
