so much opposed A. No it was for some smart truths concerning that party which they were not willing to hear of Court What did wisemen judge of that stir the Commons kept with Mr. Mountagues Book A. My Lord of Canterbury hath entred it in his Diary thus ' I seem to see a cloud arising and threatning the Church of England God for his mercy dissipate it Court What was the Danger A. It was this That the Nonconformists under pretence of suppressing Arminianisme were able to be revenged of Master Mountague for some tart expressions against them notwithstanding his Majesties protection of his own Chaplain so that the King was faine to leave him to himself and to stand or fall as he told the Duke of Buckingham who sounded him to that purpose according to the justice of his Cause C. How went they on P. H. As the great Champions of truth forsooth they procure two conferences at Yorkehouse before the Duke of Buckingham by the mediation of R. E. of VVarwick between Dr. Buckridge Dr. VVhite Mr. Mountague on the one hand and Bishop Morton and Dr. Preston on the other where their design was to divide the Nobility Clergy and Gentry and get as many as they could on their side against Arminianisme until they had got such a party as might be able to carry all before them for they knew that those learned Gentlemen and Ministers who were of their mind in some points would being provoked by their adversaries be of their mind in all C. But do they stay here L. No but being intent upon their Design and knowing that the King was well setled and resolved against all Innovations they intend to weaken his power and to that purpose they retrenched his Prerogative by many Laws and Statutes and questioned Dr. Manwaring for preaching up his Prerogative being resolved to put all power in the Parliaments hands who were too well affected to their way F. Yea they were so bold as to employ two persons Humphreys and Jones to hinder Bishop Mountagues Confirmation by alledging against him some frivolous exceptions so much did they prevaile now they had joyned themselves to the discontented the Antiarminian c. S. But while the wisemen of this party were driving on their design covertly and politickly one Leighton was to break the Ice and feel the pulse of the times and to that purpose he sets out a Book called Zions Plea rayling against the Queen as Idolatrous and exhorting men to kill the Bishops and to smite them under the fifth rib C. Was he suffered A. No when his party saw that he was not suffered they let him shift for himself and they go on in a more prudent method Court How F. That they might engage the Clergy to themselves they set up a Committee for buying in impropriations viz. Dr. Gouge Sibbs Mr. Offspring Davenport c. who were to buy so many Livings to be bestowed on the Favourers of the new way whereby of nine thousand Ministers three thousand and nine hundred might be sure to their side beside those presented by the many Patrons that were devoted to their party Court Here they took care to prefer their friends how did they bring men up still in their way notwithstanding the discouragement of publick authority P. H. When they had preferment they were sure to have friends yet they had persons of their way in both Universities very vigilant for their Interest as appeared in Oxford where one Thorne of Baliol and Ford of Magdalen Hall broke out into bitter invectives in their Sermons on this Text Numb 14. 4. Let us make us a Captain and let us return into Egypt 1 King 13. 2. And be cried against the Altar in the word of the Lord and said O Altar Altar Court It was a notable way to buy out impropriations to set up Lecturers knowing that they who hold the helm of the Pulpit in England alwaies steer peoples hearts whether they please whereby they might have more Chaplains depending upon them then either King or Bishops but the great plot lay in securing the Universities where if young men were tainted with their way they would not depart from it when they were old But did any Countenance these persons A. Yes the Proctors and Dr. Prideaux with Dr. Wilkinson untill the King appeared against them at Woodstock Court Now the King interposed his authority we may presume this faction was quite dashed E. G. By no meanes for the expelling of these Preaches expelled not but encreased the differences in Oxford which burnt the more for blazing the less Court How came Dr. Prideaux to favour such persons A. H. His love to the Predestinarian way which these men promoted in an high degree this was these mens policy to joyne with some eminent men in some opinions that they might have their favour and assistance in other things Court What was their next project A. W. They set up the Sbabatarian controversies again by one Bradbourne which if the Church allowed of she went against her own judgement if she disallowed she was looked upon as an enemy of Godliness and a friend to all prophaneness yea so high did they raise these controversies that they made a difference between the Judges and the Bishops the one allowing a liberty on the Lords day the other punishing it And when the Church declared her judgement moderately they procured underhand many reproaches and hard speeches to be cast upon her as if she intended to destroy that Godliness which she taught and to undermine that Religion she professed Court Not a word all this while of their Discipline A. No for they resolved upon other wayes of undermining the Church of England and upon her fall they would raise themselves but some hot-headed persons as Bastwicke Burton and others break out to some excesses for which they are severely punished Court What is the reason that they are so fierce now F. M. Upon Bishop Abbots death who was over-indulgent to them the Arch-Bishop pressed conformity very severely whereupon they who hid themselves under other pretences discovered themselves against Altars kneeling at the Sacrament holiness of Churches c. L. C. M. Let me tell you that there was one accident happened that helped this party very much Court What was that L. C. M. The Bishop of Lincolnes discontent who said that all flesh in England had corrupted their wayes and maintained many private correspondencies dangerous to Church and State L. C. N. The design of these men growing now ripe as they had by Lectures and private conferences debauched many here so they go abroad for aid to the brethren of Scotland who are at their Devotion and ready upon their call to disturbe the peace of England Court How durst Scotland stir J. C. The people in England having kept the King bare put him upon some displeasing courses to furnish himself and maintaine the peace of the Kingdome who should oppose this his Majesties course but the
to Archippus I mean did you not see a Book called so wherein they were stirred up by all the arguments in the world to invade their Pulpits and the Newes yonder yonder at London was so stronge that some of their Reverences they say took Coach very demurely to Whiteball to wipe off forsooth that aspersion although many of them creep up into some careless mens Pulpits and you know how Mr. Calamy Preached boldly at his own Church and how he made it a Moot-point whether he had offended or no. C. Was the late plot in the North a general one B. D. They would not a great while believe it was any yea and that was the main plot to perswade others that it was none yet in the mean time how insolent how busie are they what riding what posting what writing We will be in Chester the 24. of the sixth Moneth saith one Tell brother Owen we are 6000. stronge of our own friends c. How sullen how dogged are they here as well as some of our wel-wishers abroad untill the design was broken which in the breaking discovered a Committee here in London that united all interests and managed all affaires Now the question will be whether the dissenting brethren considering their carriage and behaviour since the fancy began in King Henry the Eighths time of which we have given an exact account to this hour are to complain if they are restrained by laws and kept from meeting or acting by publick constitutions For answer to this it is the observation of all men 1. That private men must be checked rather then the publick Government violated 2. That it is not safe or reasonable for any private opinion or fancy to controule or guide a publick authority 3. That the King must either violate his own Conscience and so not have the liberty of it which they insist on for themselves or else check their pretences of theirs 4. That they were never satisfied with any thing that was granted them he that allowed them a little doth but give them a power to take more Could all the late Kings concessions keep them from his blood first its Liberty but at last it is a Warr they are a party not to be gained by Obligations 5. That neither Scotland nor England had an houres peace or quiet since Knox set footing in the one or they who had conferred notes with him in the other but that blood rapine violence malice animosities and plots have been the attendants of the good old cause since it was in the cradle 6. That the Law must not be ruled by a faction and yet that the question is now whether they who overthrowed the Law formerly may now controule and they who raised a Warr against it may be free from it in peace 7. That the indulging of men because they are many is rather an encouragement to Villany then a provision for tenderness 8. That to ask liberty of Conscience is to ask liberty to what they please which they may call conscience for who shall judge what is really Conscience and what is really malice 9. That to grant these people what they desire is to allow the reason of the reason of their requests and so at once to reward one injury and justifie another 10. That the late Warr begun with calling that Christian liberty which the Law calleth treason that Religion which the Church calleth Schisme 11. That no Oathes or Vowes but one to rebell can tye these people 12. That they would never trust others with the least indulgence 13. That they are a people that rather then submit expostolate whose Addresses look like mutinies and their Petitions like threats 14. That the whole business and bustle is but a contest between a Law and a Faction And now considering these things we must conclude that either the Government must be again banished or the Faction that either the King for upholding the Church according to Law must be an exile or they for supporting Conventicles against the Law must be proscribed and which is fittest let the World judge THE History of Plots OR ALL The Plots against the Government of England since the Conquest to this day which are 247. in Number unsuccessfull In a continued Series of them from year to year to this present of February 1663. Concluding with an Exact Narrative of the Plot in York-shire History is the knowledge of things past whereby we may judge of things present and guess at things to come Dionys. Pet. Pref. WHen I had taken up perswasions that Interfered with the established Religion of this Nation the publick Laws laid hold upon me as well for my former engagements under the late Revolutions as for my present sentiments of the state of things that now prevailes those unruly lusts of pride ambition envy covetousness and looseness that remain in the best assisted with prejudice discontent and sufferings and all improved by those vehement impulses of conscience and a desire of liberty that all men are sensible of transported my impatience not only to murmuring to speak evil of Dignities to despise Dominions to entertain evil thoughts of the Rulers of my people but so endlesse and boundlesse are the workings of a foule heart under fouler temptations to some dangerous Considerations how necessary how lawfull how easy and how successfull an attempt more upon this Government might be all the Principles and Grounds of our late Engagements that are scattered in our Remonstrances Apologies Declarations Propositions and States of the Case immediately offering themselves unto me then prepared for such Impressions yea the Scripture it self wherein I was much conversant in my solitudes to my apprehension exactly answering my thoughts and inclinations and with those glosses upon it thee lay before me there twenty years looking like one great remonstrance for the good old Cause so that my exceptions of things being before hand wrapped in Scripture notions I saw my own mind there so clearly that I was resolved that an undertaking for the alteration of the present frame of things was not only my interest but also my duty not only a kindness to my self and our common cause but some service to my God under these temptations a reverend and a most excellent person endeavoured to relieve me with three sorts of arguments 1. The first whereof was from the concernment of private persons in the publick peace and welfare and the great advantages men had from all Governments in general and every English mans Interest under this Government in particular which I easily evaded with the maximes of a Commonwealth which possess more men then are publickly observed and carry them to the affront and weakening of all the rules lawes and principles of Monarchy that are now extant in the world 2. The second was from the great Obligations laid upon men to peace and obedience in great rules and examples by Christianity above all the Religions in the World it being not the least
Princes that looked towards Reformation Mr. Hooker Your advice we highly value as esteemed by us the most learned and wise man that ever the French Church did enjoy since the hour it enjoyed you yet you must understand that it did not become you to obtrude upon the Church of England a new way you had found out for the City of Geneva agreeable to the temper of that people and that time so disagreeing with our temper and our time especially since you could not bring that way to Geneva it self without the consent of the people Two things of principal note there are which deservedly procure you honour throughout the Christian World 1. Your exact institutions of Christian Religion 2. Your no less industrious exposition of Scripture according to those institutions in which two things whosoever bestowed their labour after you you gained the advantage of prejudice against them if they gainsaid you or of glory above them if they consented yea that which you did in the establishment of your way was harmless as being necessary but what you have taught for the countenance of it established is blame-worthy because out of love to your own prudent invention you endeavour to perswade the World that what you found out as yesterday was established by God since the beginning of Christianity we take it not well that what you with much ado imposed upon your own people by your own should be imposed upon us as from Divine Authority and that you should to that purpose disparage the antient Rites of the Church as Ineptiae nugae trifles and I know not what O Mr. Calvin Mr. Calvin There will come a time when three words uttered with charity and moderation shall receive a far more blessed reward then three thousand Vollumes written with disdainful sharpness of wit We wonder that you who said That you did highly approve a Forme of Prayer Doctrine and established Administration of Sacraments which it should not be lawful for the Ministers themselves to neglect that Provision might be made for the ignorant and unskilful 2. That the consent of the Churches might be more apparent 3. That Order may be taken against the desultory levity of them who delight in Innovations We wonder that you should encourage some Zelots at home and abroad to procure so many alterations of and enemies to the Common Prayer in the year 1547. and 3. of King Edward the sixth in so much that Reverend Father Latimer was faine to say in a Sermon before King Edward a little before his Death That the Admiral was gone I heard say he was a seditious man a contemner of Common Prayer I would there were no more in England well he is gone I would he had left none behind him Bish. Bancroft Mr. Calvin was not the only man that disturbed the peace of our Church by countenancing these Innovations and practising in Court City Country and Universities by his Agents till he had laid the first Foundation of the Zuinglian faction who laboured nothing more then Innovation in Doctrine and Discipline Court We pray you Sir what was the maine engine that Mr. Calvin used to bring his way into so much credit and esteeme among us Bish. Bancroft By insinuating to some men well affected the practise of the poor reformed Churches who not being able to set up the Primitive were over-ruled by his authority to comply with his way and gaining an improvident Indulgence unto John a Lasco with a mixt multitude of Poles and Germans to have the Priviledge of a Church for him and his distinct in Government and Worship from the Church of England by Letters Pattents in St. Augustine neer Broadstreet to be hereafter called the Church of the Lord Jesus whence we may observe 1. Of what consequence it is totolerate any people though never so inconsiderable in a way of separation Mr. Durel Dr. Basile Whereas it was suggested by several that most Reformed Churches walked in the way of Calvin and that the Church of England must submit to that way to preserve its Communion with other Churches We will make it appear that there is no Rite Ceremony or order of the Church of England but is observed in some of the Reformed Churches and some of them are observed in all Court Thus encouraged from abroad and indulged at home that party began to appear more publickly And you Mr. Bucer and Dr. Peter Martyr must needs seruple at some Ceremonies Vestments the one as Kings professor at Cambridge the other as Margaret professor and Cannon of Christ-Church in Oxford though with such moderation as that we have no more to say to you but that we are sorry the oversight of those times furnished the Universities and filled up the Chaires with men of your Principles to lay up in those nurseries of Religion and Learning the seed of a separation dissent and chisme that may continue as long as this Church stands we are sorry to hear that you Doctor Bucer refused some Ceremonies at Cambridge especially that you would not use a square Cap because forsooth your head was Round We are sorry likewise that you Dr. Martyr should encourage the Nonconformists in your Letter July 1. 1550. by saying that You thought it most expedient to the good of the Church that they and all others of that kind should be taken away when the next opportunity should present it self for say you as we iudge unchariteably Where such Ceremonies are so stiftly contended for as are not warranted and supported by the word of God there commonly men are less sollicitous of the substance of Religion then they were of the cicumstances of it and that you say in your Letter of the 4. Nov. 1559. that you never used the Surplice when you lived in Oxford though you were then a Cannon of Christ-Church and frequently present in the Qaire And for your part John a Lasco you might have been contented with the great indulgence of a gracious Soveraign to set up a Church with an express order to all the Bishops of the Realm not to disturbe you in the free exercise of your Religion and Ecclesiastical Government notwithstanding that you differed from the Government and formes of Worship established in the Church of England and not have abused his Majesties goodness so far as to appear in favour of the several factions which then began more openly to shew themselves against the established orders and laudable Customes of the Church and to write that scandalous Book called Forma Oratio totius Ecclesiastici Ministerij much to their encouragement who impugned all Order and Discipline and you must countenance those that refuse to wear the Cap and Surplice and to write to Dr. Bucer to declare against them for which you were severely reproved by that moderate and Learned man Doctor Martyr Doctor Bucer and John a Lasco Truly we are very sensible of the great favours we
Puritans who thereby became the Patrons of their Country and were sure to be chosen to the next Parliament where they might joyne with their brethren the Scots who if they made a War were assured that the King should not be able to resist them for they being sure to be chosen in Parliament let them know that they would not assist the King against them Court When they got at last to be the prevailing party in Parliament what did they A. They called to an acount all persons who had pressed strict Conformity and countenanced those that refused it witness Dr. Cozens and Smart Bastwicke and Burton who came triumphantly to London and were ordered reparations for their services and sufferings Court How did they proceed A. They setled a Commitee for Religion who appointed a Subcommittee to prepare matters for their Cognizance where was CONFORMISTS Bishop Williams Doctor Hacket Bishop Vsher Doctor Holdsworth Bishop Morton Bishop Hall Doctor Prideaux Doctor Ward Doctor Browning Doctor Featly NONCONFORMISTS Doctor Burgess Mr. White Mr. Marshall Mr. Caryl Mr. Calamy Mr. Hill Mr. Newcomen Doctor Twisse C. But this meeting was only a pretence while the House carried on higher designes against Deans and Chapters root and branch for whom Doctor Hacket made a Speech in the behalf of the Church against whom Dr. Burgesse made a speech in behalfe of the faction L. C. N. Yes and they began to pull down the Bishops step by step First From the Lords House 2. From all civil power and then they pull down those Courts that kept them in Order all this while viz. the Star-Chamber and the High commission N. O. I observed that the poor Bishops went down first in their reputation and esteem they not suffering them to be called right honourable nor to have precedency N. M. And to make sure work the Rabble were stirred up against them to the danger of their lives and strange Petitions procured in so much that the poor men were in a streight to keep the House was dangerous to leave it at this time was unworthy C. What did they do N. They were trepanned by Bishop Williams to a Remonstrance for which they were all committed to the Tower and Impeached of High Treason and now the Bishops were safe in the Tower the Bill against them passed the House and they were for ever excluded the House C. Now the King could not help the Church the Bishops were secured the severe Courts against the Factions were down how did the people appear N. Q. Their restraint being removed they broke out to an excess of Riot in Petitioning Preaching Rayling a Company of Fanaticks in Southwark crying that the Law of Uniformity was the Law of Bishops and so to be repealed the Citizens crying to your Tents O Israel Court Having now almost destroyed the Church Government Discipline and Worship what do they not endeavour to set up their own way N. H. Yes by all meanes but by degrees that the Kingdome might not perceive it but think they were easing it all this while C. How did they contrive to set up their new Government N. H. They called an Assembly of that way 〈…〉 Gouge Mr. Calamy Mr. Caryl Dr. Spurslaw Tho. Goodwyn Phil. Nie c. who proposed to the Parliament the new Church Government and Directory who thereupon abolished the ancient Church Government Worship and Discipline and took a Solemn Oath as they of Scotland had done before every one in his place to stand by this new way which Oath they Imposed upon the Kingdome C. What do they Impose any thing K. C. O yes there are none more severe in Imposing upon others than those that would have liberty themselves Court Where was the King all this while L. B. N. Being not able to reach the Church but through him they having made him as odious as they could to the people by ripping up all the faults of Government in a remonstrance and having frighted him away with the fury of the incensed multitude that were in open War with him that the World may see that there are no Innovators in the Church but such as are Traytors to the State Court It was very strange the whole House of Commons should go along with them in these enormities N. H. The honest Gentlemen could not help it for they were overawed by the rude rabble who came to the House in whole multitudes with Petitions remonstrances grievances about Religion Liberties and rights to which was added all that prevailes with men of force or flattery of craft or terrour Court Now Ireland was all in a Rebellion Scotland was up in Armes and they in England practised they after some Treaties with the King and Disputations with his Divines alter Church Government and settle that Discipline which they had contended for these 120. years L. B C. When it was established did the people submit to it N. H. No for they looked upon it as a yoake which neither they nor their fathers could bear Court How did they propagate it H. J. They sequestred all the Orthodox Clergy and setled in their places such men as were ready to advance their new project th 〈…〉 who complained so much when a dozen Ministers were 〈…〉 made nothing to silence five or six hundred at a time L. H. Yet for all this the new Government was not owned for there arose other factions innumerable who though they differed among themselves yet agreed in this viz. that they would have no Government but that every one according to his own conscience might do what was good in his own eyes as the Presbyterians cryed formerly so the Independents cried now that Christians should have liberty of Conscience to do according to the best light afforded them Court It pleased God to let them set up what they so long looked for that the World might see what they are and what is their way and what is the dreadful consequence of that way when it doth prevaile their pretences before they had the Government in their own hands were such as rendred them very amiable and made them the darling of the people their practices when they had it made them the most odious of Mankind L. B. C. The people would never believe their mischeif untill they saw their practice and providence let them take a turn upon our stage to see how they would behave themselves untill they went off Odium humani generis L. H. When they had suppressed the Orthodox Clergy alienated their maintenance overcome their Friends and put him to death who they knew must otherwise avenge on them these abominations for these people had the face too before the world to lay violent hands upon the Lords Annointed they made an Act wherein it was not lawful for an Orthodox man by any meanes to exercise his Ministry being made uncapable either of performing the duty or of enjoyning the maintenance of a Minister either as Chaplain Tutor Schoolmaster Curate Vicar or Pastor L.

When the Duke of York now aspiring to the Crown takes his opportunity to whisper and suggest to the people that the King was weak and easie the Queen was of a malignant spirit the Privy Councel was ill inclined wherewith the Common people were possessed when one Mortimer the Dukes Agent promiseth them a Reformation of all abuses freedome from Taxes who styling himself Captain Mend-all marcheth to Blackheath there exerciseth them sends their grievances to the Parliament complaining that the Kings Revenue is lavished away that he burdeneth the people that he takes their Commodities from them by his Purveyors and their Estates by his Courtiers that legal proceedings were stopped by Letters from above that extraordinary fees were exacted that freedome of Elections were denyed and Parliament men chosen by Court Letters that the faithful Counsellors the Dukes of York Exceter Buckingham Norfolk were discountenanced by the undue practices of some corrupt Courtiers and their Favourites The Parliament countenanceth them the Privy Counsel receiveth their Petition and if any plot ever prospered this was like to be one Yet see how the King though never so generally hated so considerable a thing is Royalty under the greatest disadvantages gathereth an Army of 15000. the Rebells defeat him come to London command the City to provide them Horse and Armes and other Necessaries behead the Lord Say and Sir James Cromer carry all before them when on a sudden some old Souldiers from the Tower surprize them the Rebells look about them and consider their danger are weary of their service and upon the Kings pardon submit and leave Jack Cade to shift for himself who fled away in a disguise and Proclamation being made that whosoever should bring him dead or alive should have a thousand Markes for his paines a while after was attached by one Eden and making resistance in a Garden at Hothfield in Sussex was there slain his Body was brought to London beheaded Quartered his Head set upon London Bridge his Quarters dispersed in divers places in Kent and his Followers to the number of 500. arraigned to the utter ruine of 4000.
