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
9 fol. 109. being shrunk to eight and that eight thousand pound not given to one Daughter as is here affirmed but divided equally between two whereof the one was married to Sir Iames Harrington the other unto Dunch of Berkshire Secondly this could be no cause of the Queens displeasure and much lesse of the Countries envie that Bishop having sat in the See of Durham above seventeen years And certainly he must needs have been a very ill Husband if out of such a great Revenue he had not saved five hundred pounds per annum to prefer his Children the income being as great and the charges of Hospility lesse than they have been since Thirdly the Queen did not take away a thousand pound a year from that Bishoprick as is here affirmed The Lands were left to it as before but in regard the Garrison of Barwick preserved the Bishops Lands and Tenants from the spoil of the Scots the Queen thought fit that the Bishops should contribute towards their own defence imposing on them an annual pension of a thousand pound for the better maintaining of that Garrison Fourthly Bishop Pilkington was no Doctor but a Batchelor of Divinity onely and possibly had not been raised by our Author to an higher title and Degree than the University had given him but that he was a Conniver at Non-conformity as our Author telleth us Lib. 9. fol. 109. Lastly I shall here add that I conceived the Pension above mentioned not to have been laid upon that See after Pilkingtons death but on his first preferment to it the French having then newly landed some forces in Scotland which put the Queen upon a necessity of doubling her Guards and increasing her Garrisons But whatsoever was the cause of imposing this great yearly payment upon that Bishoprick certain I am that it continued and the money was duly paid into the Exchequer for many years after the true cause thereof was taken away the Queens displeasure against Pilkington ending either with his life or hers and all the Garrisons and forces upon the Borders being taken away in the beginning of the Reign of King Iames. So true is that old saying Quod Christus non capit fiscus rapit never more fully verified than in this particular Fuller I have given in a double account of Bishop Pilkingtons Issue and Estate 1. As same reported and as envioâ—s Courtiers represented it to Queen Elizabeth that he gave ten thousand with his onely Daughter Lib. 5. fol. 253. 2. As it was in truth giving but four thousand a piece with Two daughters lib. 8. fol. 109. The Animadvertor may allow me knowing in his family my wife being Grandchild to his Eldest Daughter married to Sir Henry Harrington Yet no relation to him or favour for him as a semi-non conformist but mere love to the Truth made me entitle him Doctor though I confesse Bishop Godwin maketh him but Batchelour in Divinity For Dr. Caius Master of Gonvil Hall whilest Pilkington was of St. Iohns in Cambridge giveth him the stile of Doctor who must be presumed most exact in the Titles of his own Contemporary The difference is not great betwixt taking away 1000 l. yearly from the Bishoprick and charging it with an annual Pension of 1000 l. to maintain the Garrison of Barwick However if the Reader can gain any information from what is additory in the Animadvertor I shall be light glad thereof THE SIXTH BOOK Containing the History of Abbeys Dr. Heylin THis Book containing the History of Abbeys seems but a Supplement to the former but being made a distinct book by our Author we must doe so likewise In which the first thing capable of an Animadversion is but meerly verbal viz. Fol. 266. Cistercians so called from one Robert living in Cistercium in Burgundy The place in Burgundy from whence these Monks took denomination though call'd Cirstercium by the Latins is better known to the French and English by the name Cisteaux the Monks thereof the Monks of Cisteaux by the English and Lesmoines de Cisteaux by the French and yet our Author hath hit it better in his Cistercians than Ralph Brook York Herald did in his Sister-senses for which sufficiently derided by Augustin Vincent as our Author being so well studied in Heraldry cannot chuse but know Fuller It was equally in my power and pleasure without the least prejudice to the Truth whether I would render the place in the French Cisteaux or retain the Latine name Cistercium I preferred the latter because our English word Cistercians hath most conformity therewith What is R. Brooke his Sister-senses Brother-senses or Non-senses to me This spends time in writing money in buying pains in reading makes some more angry none more knowing Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 268. But be he who he himself or any other pleaseth brother if they will to St. George on Horseback Our Author not satisfying himself in that Equitius who is supposed to be the first Founder of Monks in England makes him in scorn to be the Brother of St. George on Horse back that is to say a meer Chimera a Legendary Saint a thing of nothing The Knights of that most noble Order are beholding to him for putting their Patron in the same Rank with St. Equitius of whose existence on the Earth he can finde no Constat Fuller I honour the Knights of that noble Order as much as the Animadvertor himself Their Ribbands though now wearing out apace seem in my eyes as fair and fresh as when first put on I doe not deny but much doubt of St. George as he is presented with his improbable Atchievements Yet grant the whole History onely Emblematical and Allegorical of Christ rescuing his Church from the might and malice of Satan no Diminution of Honour at all is thereby to the Fellows of that noble Order Dr. Heylin But I would have him know how poorly soever he thinks of St. George on Horseback that there hath more been said of him his Noble birth Atchievements with his death and Martyrdome than all the Friends our Author hath will or can justly say in defence of our present History Fuller The Animadvertor might have done well to instanced in that Author which hath been the Champion for this Champion and hath so substantially asserted him If in this passage he reflecteth on his own Book on that Subject he hath lookt so long on St. George he hath forgot Solomon Let another praise thee and not thy own mouth a stranger and not thine own lips For my part I am yet to seek what service he hath done to the Church of God so busie to make DOWN SABBATH and UP St. GEORGE Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 270 So they deserve some commendation for their Orthodox Judgement in maintaining some Controversies in Divinity of importance against the Jesuites Our Author speaks this of the Dominicans or preaching Fryers who though they be the sole active managers of the Inquisition deserve notwithstanding
Practise fell far short of his Precepts witness his inserting of this false passage opposite to the very Letter of the Old Testament speaking of Iehojakaim King of Iudah 2 King 24.9 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord according to all that his Father had done Iosephus Ant. Iud. lib. 10. cap. 9. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This man being merciful and just by his nature c. But because it is not my Work to accuse Iosephus whom I cannot praise and prize enough but to defend my self against the Animadvertor let us proceed Dr. Heylyn There is another rule which he bound himself to that is to say Neither to omit any thing through ignorance nor to bury any thing in forgetfullness And all these cautions well observed make a perfect History Fuller Here is the Elixir indeed of Historical perfection Let a Glorified Saint write such an History of the Church-Triumphant that so there may be a just proportion betwixt the Author and his Subject both being Perfect I have met with this Distick made by reverend Bernard Gilpin upon such Sectaries as require exactness in our Church of England Optant ut careat maculis Ecclesia cunctis Praesens vita negat vita futura dabit Thus Englished by Bishop Carleton Men wish our Church no blemish had at all It cannot be so here in Heaven it shall This is true both of our Church and all Church-Histories whereof none without faults and they the best which have the fewest Dr. Heylyn But on the contrary there are some who do spend themselves on the style and dresse as if their business rather were to delight the ear then inform the judgement Others so byassed by self-ends and private interesse that they seem rather Advocates to plead for some growing party then true Reporters of affairs as they be before them Some who endevouring to be copious clap all together in a huddle which is offered to them without relation to the Ornaments and Attire of Language and others with like carelesness as unto themselves but greater inconvenience as unto the Reader examine not the truth and certainty of what they write so they write somewhat which they think may inform the Reader Betwixt these Truth is oftentimes irrecoverably lost the Reader led aside from the wayes of Verity into the crooked lanes of Error and many times conducted to such dangerous precipices as may prove destructive to himself and of ill consequence to all those which are guided by him The Errors of the Understanding in matters which may possibly be reduced to Practise are far more mischievous then those which do consist in the niceties of Speculation and advance no farther which moved the Orator not onely to honour History with the Attribute of Testis Temporum but to style it also by the name of Magistra Vitae Fuller I remember when the reverend vice-Vice-master of Trinity College in Cambridge was told that one of the Scholars had abused him in an Oration Did he said he name me Did he name Thomas Harrison And when it was returned that he named him not then said he I do not believe that he meant me Although it is very suspicious that I am the mark aimed at in this discourse yet being not conscious of such faults to my self and because I am not named by him I will not understand my self intended till he toucheth me with more personal particularities Dr. Heylyn These things considered as they ought hath made me wonder many times at the unadvisedness of some late Writers in this kind whose Histories are composed with so much partiality on the one Side and so much inadvertency on the Other that they stand more in need of a Commentator to expound the Truth and lay it clear and open to the view of the Reader than either the dark words of Aristotle or any other obscure Piece of the ancient Writers I speak of Histories not Libels of which last sort I reckon Weldon's Pamphlet called The Court of King Iames and Wilson's most infamous Pasquil of the Reign of that King in which it is not easie to judge whether the Matter be more false or the Stile more reproachful in all parts thereof Certain I am we may affirm of them as Cremutius Cordus doth of the Epistles of Antonius and the Orations of Brutus Falsa quidem in Augustum probra sed multa cum acerbitate habent that is to say that they contained not only false and disgraceful passages against the honour of Augustus but were apparelled also in the habit of scurrilous language With such as these I shall not meddle at the present leaving their crimes unto the punishment not of an Index but an Ignis Expurgatorius as most proper for them Fuller I am not concerned at all in this Paragraph Onely let me add this in the honour of the deceased Robert Earl of Warwick who told me at Beddington that when Wilson's Book in Manuscript was brought unto him he expunged out of it more than an hundred offensive passages My Lord said I you have done well and you had done better if you had put out one hundred more Dr. Heylyn But as for those whom either the want of true intelligence or inadvertency in not weighing seriously what they were to do or the too much indulgence to their own affections have made more capable of being bettered by correction I have thought it more agreeable to the Rules of justice to rectifie their mistakes and reform their Errors than absolutely to condemn and decry their Writings Fuller REFORMING of Errors is a specious and glorious Designe especially when proportionable means are used in order thereunto But of late the word REFORMATION is grown so thredbare it hath no nap left it thereunder to cover foul acts to attain a fair end I much suspect the Animadvertor will prove such a Deforming-Reformer as our Age hath produced too many of them Dr. Heylyn At this time I have Two before me whom I conceive to stand in need of such Observations by which the truth may be preserved and the clear face of things presented to the Readers eye the one of them an Authour of Ecclesiastical the other of some Civil Histories Fuller I commend the valour of the Animadvertor to combate with Two at once odds on which Hercules himself durst not adventure I also am to deal with two the Animadvertor and Dr. Cosins but not as a Challenger but in the notion of a poor Defendant and if one be assaulted by two hundred he may and must guard himself against them as well as he can Dr. Heylyn In both I find the Truth much injured and in one the Church The Errors of the one tend not to the subversion of any publick interesse but being Errors may misguide the Reader in the way of his knowledge and discourse and therefore I have rectified him with some Advertisements not taking notice of such passages as have been made the subject of some
take notice thereof Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 21. This Conference was partially set forth only by Dr. Barlow Dean of Chester their professed Adversary to the great disadvantage of their Divines If so how did it come to passe that none of their Divines then present nor any other in their behalf did ever manifest to the world the partialities and falshoods of it The Book was printed not long after the end of the Conference publickly passing from one hand to another and never convicted of any such Crime as it stands charged with in any one particular passage to this very day c. Fuller I only said that some did complain that this Conference was partially set forth I avowed not that they complained justly I believe their complaint causlesse and let it be remedilesse for me seeing I my self professe verbo Sacerdotis that I have been accused that I have abridged this Conference to the disparagement of Dr. Reynolds though my Conscience be clear herein Dr. Heylin However our Author telleth us that he viz. Mr. Nicholas Fuller left behind him the reputation of an honest man No question of it It is a thing so incident to the Name that whatsoever they doe or say they are honest still Fuller All his jeering on my Name shall not make me goe to the Heraulds Office to endeavor the altering thereof I fetcht it from my great-great Grand father and hope shall leave it to my great-great Grand-child A Name which no doubt originally was taken from that usefull trade without which Mankind can neither be warm or cleanly The like is frequent in many respectfull Families in England as the Antiquary hath observed From whence came Smith al be he Knight or Squire But from the Smith that forgeth at the fire Yet considering the narrownesse of my name it is inferiour to few having produced the best of English Pilots T. Fuller who steered Captain Cavendish round about the World the best of English Criticks N. Fuller so famous in forain parts for his Miscellany's and none of the worst of English Benefactors I. Fuller one of the Judges of the Sheriffs Court in London who built and endowed an Almeshouse for twelve poor men at Stoken-heath and another at Shorditch for as many poor Women Besides he gave his Lands and Tenements of great yearly valuation in the Parishes of S. Bennet and Peters Pauls Wharf London to Feoffees in Trust to release Prisoners in the Hole of both Counters whose Debts exceeded not twenty shillings eight-pence Yea it hath at this Day one Bishop one Dean one Doctor two Batchelour of Divinity and many Masters of Arts of no contemptible condition Pardon Reader this digression done se defendendo against one by whom my Name is too much undervalued by Ironical over-valuing thereof Dr Heylin Before we had the story of Thomas Fuller of Hammersmith condemn'd for felony but still so honest and so entirely beloved by King Harry the sixth after his decease that he appeard to him on the top of the Gallows incourag'd him and so charm'd the Rope that it did not strangle him lib. 4.154 Afterwards we meet with Iohn Fuller Doctor of the Laws a better than he a Persecutor in Queen Maries dayes but a pittiful man as the Index telleth us Here we have Nicholas Fuller a Counseller the best of the three decrying openly the Authority on the High Commission and thereby giving a legal advantage to Archbishop Bancroft by whom imprisoned and there dying but dying with the reputation of an honest man And then another Thomas Fuller a Minister the best of all the company and an honest man too so well deserving of the Church and all good Church-men both alive and dead by this notable History as not to doubt of the like favour at their hands should there be occasion as Thomas of Hammersmith receiv'd of King Harry the sixth Fuller Here are four Gradations of Fullers good better best best of all which in the language of jeering speaking alwayes by the contraries amounteth unto bad worse worst worst of all As for the first T. Fuller I answer First the tale is not made but related by me who have charged my Margin with the Author thereof Harpsfeild not inconsiderable for Learning Religion amongst his own party Secondly not the least credit is given thereunto in my reporting it matching it with another miracle which I call equally true that is equally untrue in the interpretation of any unpartial Reader Thirdly seeing I followed Harpsfeild in relating his Miracles in other places if here I should have deserted him probably it would have been by others condemned in me for a sullen omission as by the Animadvertor for a light Insertion because T. F. was my Namesake The good nature and pittiful disposition of Dr. I. Fuller plainly appeareth in Mr. Fox and as for his bounty to Iesus Col. in Cambridge I leave it to some of that foundation to give testimony thereof As for the third N. Fuller be it reported to the IESSES of Grayes-Inne I mean such Benchers as pass amongst them for Old Men and can distinctly remember him whether he hath not left a pretious and perfumed memory behinde him of one pious to God temperate in himself able in his Profession moderate in his Fees carefull for his Client faithfull to his Friend hospital to his Neighbour pittifull to the Poor and bountifull to Emanuel Colledge in Cambridge in a word blamless in all things save this one Act of Indiscretion which could not make him forfeit the reputation of his honesty especially seeing he paid dear for it and died in durance Thus though Mr. Stubbs was so obnoxious to the displeasure of Queen Elizabeth that hâ—s Right-hand was cut off for writing a Libel against Her Match with Monseir yet Mr. Camden does call him Virum famae integerrimae For the fourth and last I will make the Animadvertor the self same Answer which the Servants of Hezekiah returned to Rabsecah But they held their peace and answered him not a word Dr. Heylin The Author saith and as about this time some perchance over-valued the Geneva Notes out of that especial love they bare to the Authors and place whence it proceeded So on the other side same without cause did sleight or rather without charity did slander the same I trowe our Author will not take upon him to condemn all those who approve not of the Genevian Notes upon the Bible or to appear an Advocate for them though he tells us not many lines before that they were printed thirty times over with the general liking of the people Fuller Had I said two and thirty times though past the Head Game I had not been out And now the Reader shall have my full and free sense of the Genevian Notes I remember the Proverb 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In Head of Polypus is had What is good and what is bad Such a mixture is in these
