Nouemb. 5. stilo veteri nouo being Sunday ABout three of the clocke in the afternoone of the aforesaid Sunday in a large Garret being the vppermost and from the ground the third storie of an high building of Stone and Bricke were assembled a multitude of people Men and Women of diuers ages and conditions amounting to the number of two or three hundred persons to heare a Sermon there to be preached by one Master Drury a Romish Priest and Iesuite of name and speciall note To this Garret or Gallery being situated ouer the Gate-house of the French Ambassadors house there is a leading passage by a doore close to the vtter gate of the said house but without it open to that street By which passage many men and women vsed to haue daily recourse to the English Priests chambers there There is also out of the said Lord Ambassadors with-drawing Chamber another passage meeting with this and both leading into the said Garret Which Garret was within the side walls about seuenteene foot wide and fortie foot long at the vpper end whereof was a new partition of slit Deale set vp to make a priuate roome for one of the Priests which abated twelue foot of the length About the middest of the Gallery and neere to the wall was set for the Preacher a Chaire raised vp somewhat higher then the rest of the floare and a small table before it In this place the Auditorie being assembled and some of the better sort hauing chaires and stooles to sit on the many standing in throng and filling the roome to the doore and staires all expecting the Preacher hee came forth out of an inner roome clad in a Surplice which was girt about his waste with a linnen girdle and a Stole of Scarlet colour hanging downe before him from both his shoulders Whom a man attended carrying in one hand a Booke and in the other an Houre-glasse An Embleme not vnfit to suggest to him his Auditorie and vs all that their and our liues not onely passe away continually with the defluxion of that descending motion of the Sand but also euen in such times and places may possibly fore-runne the same and bee ouerturned before that short hourely Kalender should come to recourse Master Drury the Priest as soone as he came to the Chaire kneeled downe at the foot of it making by himselfe in priuate some eiaculation of a short praier as it seemed about the length of an Aue Marie Then standing vp and turning his face toward the people hee crossed himselfe formally premising no vocall audible prayer at all neither before his Text nor vpon the diuision of it wherein the people might ioyne with him for the blessing and sanctifying an action of that Nature Which omission whether it were a lapse of memorie in him or a priuiledge of custome belonging to those supereminent instructors I dispute not but leaue it to the conscionable iudgement of euery Christian Immediatly he tooke the Booke being the Rhemists Testament and in it read his Text which was the Gospel appointed for that Sunday according to the institution of the Church of Rome which day now fell vpon the fift of Nouember by the Gregorian Kalender current ten daies before ours and accompted by the Romanists the onely true Computation Whereupon some goe so farre as to make a numerall inference of a second reflecting Tragedy But for my part I surrender all such iudiciarie calculation into the hands of the Highest who according to his prouidence disposeth of times and seasons and of all euents befalling in them The said Gospell in the Rhemists translation is as followeth in these words Therefore is the Kingdome of Heauen likened to a man being a King that would make an account with his seruants And when hee began to make the account there was one presented vnto him that owed him ten thousand Talents And hauing not whence to repay it his Lord commanded that he should bee sold and his wife and children and all that he had and it to bee repaied But that seruant falling downe besought him saying Haue patience toward me and I will repay thee all And the Lord of that seruant moued with pitie dismissed him and the debt he forgaue him And when that seruant was gone forth he found one of his fellow-seruants that did owe him an hundred pence and laying hands vpon him thratled him saying Repay that thou owest And his fellow-seruant falling downe besought him saying Haue patience toward mee and I will repay thee all And he would not but went his way and cast him into prison till he repayed the debt And his fellow-seruants seeing what was done were
