into my hands and taken a Copy thereof and have caused it to be compared with two other Copies Manuscripts in Oxford the one in Magdalene the other in Baliol Colledge Library I take no small comfort in the hope I conceive of seeing your Grace before your departure into Ireland I heare of a purpose your Grace hath to see Oxford and abide some time there the Lord blesse you and keep you and make his face to shine upon you Newberry May 29. 1640. Yours in all observance desiring to sit at your Grace his feet WILLIAM TWISSE Mr. Chambers of Clouford by Bath hath long ago answered Dr. Heylines History of the Sabbath but knowes not how to have it printed A Clause in a Letter of the Primates to Mr. Ley of the Sabbath FOr mine own part I never yet doubted but took it for granted that as the setting of some whole day apart for Gods solemne Worship was Juris Divini naturalis so that this solemne day should be one in seven was juris Divini positivi recorded in the fourth Commandement And such a jus divinum positivum here I mean as Baptisme and the Lords Supper are established both which lie not in the power of any man or Angel to change or alter wherein me thinks your second position is a little too waterish viz. That this Doctrine rather then the contrary is to be held the Doctrine of the Church of England And may well be gathered out of her publick liturgy and the first part of the Homily concerning the place and time of prayer Whereas you should have said that this is to be held undoubtedly the Doctrine of the Church of England For if there could be any reasonable doubt made of the meaning of the Church of England in her Liturgy who should better declare her meaning than self in her Homily where she peremptorily declareth her minde That in the fourth Commandement God hath given expresse charge to all men that upon the Sabbath day which is now our Sunday they should cease from all weekly and work-work-day labour to the intent that like as God himself wrought six dayes and rested the seventh blessed and sanctified it and consecrated it to rest and quietnesse from labour even so Gods obedient people should use the Sunday holily and rest from their common and daily businesse and also give themselves wholly to heavenly exercises of Gods true Religion and service Than which what could you devise to say more your self For the further maintenance of which Doctrine I send you herewith a Treatise written by a learned man now with God against Theophilus Brabourn who gave occasion to the raising up of these unhappy broiles which if it may any way conduce to the furtherance of your more exact Treatice c. I shall be very glad and be ready to c. Part of a Letter of the Primates to an Honourable person not long after the coming forth of Doctor Heylins book of the History of the Sabbath which I found wrote in the same Paper with the former AS for Dr. Heylins relation concerning our Articles of Ireland it is much mistaken For first where he saith they did passe when his Majesties Commissioners were imployed about the setling of the Church Anno 1615. and chargeth them with this strict austerity as he termeth it in the prescript observation of the Lords day he sheweth himself very credulous there having been no such Commissioners here at that time and our Articles having been published in Print divers years before the Commissioners whom hee meaneth came hither as Sir Nathaniel Rich who was one of them himself can sufficiently inform you Secondly where he saith he is sure that till that time the Lords day had never attained such credit as to be thought an Article of the faith he speaks very inconsiderately Hee that would confound the ten Commandements whereof this must be accounted for one unlesse he will leave us but nine with the Articles of the faith he had need be put to learn his Catechisme again And he that would have every thing which is put into the Articles of Religion agreed upon in the Synod for the avoyding of diversity of opinions and for the maintenance of peace and uniformity in the Church to be held for an Article of the faith should do well to tell us whether hee hath as yet admitted the Book of the ordination of Bishops and the two volumes of Homilies into his Creed for sure I am he shall find these received in the Articles of Religion agreed upon in the Synod held at London 1562. To which Doctor Heylen himself having subscribed I wonder how he can oppose the conclusion which he findeth directly laid down in the Homily of the time and place of prayer in the fourth Commandement viz. God hath given expresse charge to all men that upon the Sabbath-day which is now our Sunday for these are the plain words of the Homily which the Doctor with all his Sophistry will never be able to elude they shall cease from all weekly and week-day labour to the intent thot like as God himselfe wrought six dayes and rested the seventh and blessed and consecrated it to quietnesse and rest from labour even so Gods obedient people should use the Sunday holily and rest from their common and daily businesse and also give themselves wholly to the heavenly exercises of Gods true Religion and service By the verdict of the Church of England I am sure the Lords day had obtained such a pitch of credit as nothing more could be left to the Church of Ireland in their Articles afterward to adde unto it Thirdly he shameth not to affirm That the whole Book of the Articles of Ireland is now called in which is a notorious untruth And lastly that the Articles of the Church of England were confirmed by Parliament in this Kingdome Anno 1634. where it is well known that they were not so much as once propounded to either House of Parliament or ever intended to be propounded The truth is that the House of Convocation in the beginning of their Canons for the manifestation of their agreement with the Church of England in the confession of the same Christian faith and the Doctrine of the Sacraments as they themselves professe and for no other end in the world did receive and approve of the Articles of England but that either the Articles of Ireland were ever called in or any Articles or Canons at all were ever here confirmed by Act of Parliament may well be reckoned among Doctor Heylins fancies Which shews what little credit he deserves in his Geography when he brings us newes of the remote parts of the world that tells us so many untruths of things so lately and so publickly acted in his Neigbour Nation A Confirmation of the latter clause in this Letter of the Primates viz. That the Articles of Ireland determining the observation of the Lords day were not called in Anno
