of a passage in John 6. 53. the opinion of the necessity of administring the Lords Supper to Infants had obtained in the christian church And that as it seemeth to supply in some sort the want of confirmation wherein the like Ceremony of annointing with the chrisme was used of which young children were not capable and which yet was in all reason to precede the receiving of the Lords Supper That opinion in time vanished as an Error and with it the practise of communicating Infants ceased But still the custom of giving them the chrisme continued as a kind of initial confirmation if I may so call it as if by it were conferred some degree of that grace which in their account is the proper effect of the Sacrament of confirmation to wit the grace of Spiritual Strength to fight against the Spiritual Enemie of the Soul the flesh the world and the Divel Now to prevent the imagination of any such efficacious vertue in the chrisme and to shew that by Baptisme alone which is sacramentum militare without the addition of the chrisme the person baptized receiveth all that benefite of grace and strength whatsoever it be which he should do if the chrisme were joyned with it for by Baptisme he is not only received into the church as a Member of Christ but matriculated also into the Militia as a Soldier of Christ it might very well be thought convenient laying aside the annointing with the chrisme per modum crucis cross-wise that the Minister as soon as he hath baptized the child should in express words signifie to the Congregation that he is now become the Soldier of Jesus Christ as well as a Member of his Church with the sign of the cross also used there withall as a significant ceremony in token that the person so baptized being now the Soldier of Christ should not be ashamed of his profession nor behave himself cowardly therein This is the substance of what the Learned Primate declared to us to be his Judgment concerning the use of this Ceremony and the place it hath in our Liturgy In the setting down whereof if for the Readers fuller satisfaction I have allowed my self a good liberty of enlargement either for the farther confirming or the better clearing of ●is opinion I hope none will therefore charge me to have misrepresented it having gone all along upon his grounds and perfectly to his sense This Story of what discourse we had with the Primate at that time as I had to others heretofore so I told very lately to the Reverend Doctor the Publisher of these Treatises who told me back again that himself had also heard him declare his opinion to the same effect as aforesaid and remembreth particularly which I here publish having the Doctors Warrant so to do that he so declared it in a publick Speech mentioned pag. 63. before a great Auditory at Drogheda in Ireland when he first confirmed children there I am unwilling having gone thus far already to weary the Reader or my Self with proceeding any farther nor indeed is it needful I should For since only by pride commeth contention Prov. 13. 10. if all men that pretend to be wise and honest would be humble and truly he that is not so is neither honest nor wise and make that their business which is certainly their Duty That is to say if they would study quietness more and Parties less bear a just reverence to Antiquity and to their betters allow as favorable a construction to things established as they are capable of suspect their own judgment wherein it differeth from the publick submit to reason and yield when they are convinced obey cheerfully where they may and where they dare not suffer without noise a little saying and writing would serve the turn But when men are once grown to this to make it their Glory to head or hold up a Party To study wayes how to evade when they are called to obey To resolve to erre because they have erred and to hold their conclusion in despite of all Premises To preferre their private opinions before wiser mens judgments and their reputation with the vulgar before Obedience to Superiors In a word to suffer themselves to be swayed with Passions Parties or Interests all the writing and saying in the World as to such men untill it shall please God to put their hearts into another Frame is to no more purpose then if a man should go about to fill a Seive with Water or to wash a Blackamore white When we have tried all the ways and conclusions we can we shall in the end find the best expedient for Peace and the best Service we can do the Church our Selves and our Brethren to be our constant and instant Prayers to Almighty God with our subservient Endeavors that he would give to every one of us a discerning judgment to see the Truth and a willing mind to embrace it conscience to do what we ought and Patience to suffer what wee must Humility to acknowledge our own and Charity to bear with other mens infirmities that so we may keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace and fulfil the Law of

revived The one whereof he made while he was Bishop of Meath Anno 1622. in the Castle-Chamber of Dublin in defence of the Oath of Supremacy and in special making good that Clause that the King is the only Supream Governor of these his Realms and Dominions For which King Iames of happy Memory sent him a Letter of Thanks hereunto annexed the original of which I have now in my custody The other he made Anno 27. before the Lord Deputy Falkland the Councel and a great Assembly of the Lords and other persons chosen out of each County at His Majesties Castle of Dublin occasioned by their slowness to contribute to the maintenance of the Army the main scope of which is to declare the Duty of Subjects to supply the Kings necessities for the defence of his Kingdom from strength of Reason antient Records and Grounds of Divinity a Copy of which being by the Lord Deputy then desired of him to be sent unto His late Majesty for which he received His Royal Thanks I took a transcript thereof Unto which I shall only add this That I have found among the Primat's papers a Manuscript containing Mr. Hookers judgment of these three things 1. Of Regal Power in Ecclesiastical Affairs 2. Of the Kings Power in the advancement of Bishops unto the rooms of Prelacy 3. Of the Kings exemption from censures and other judicial Power All which as the Primate notes with his own hand are not found in the common Copys of Mr. Hookers M. S. though by what art and upon what designe so much was exspunged I know not only thus far the Primate hath joyn'd his Testimony with Mr. Hooker in these which seem to be the true that he hath corrected and perfected the copy throughout with his own hand and not only found out the several quotations and put them down in the Margent which had been before omitted but added many of his own with some other large Annotations by which his zeal for the defence of Regal Power is the more evident And what his freedom of speech was frequently here in his Sermons to that purpose and in speciall before his late Majesty of blessed memory upon his Birth-day at the Isle of Wight upon this Text Genes 49. 3. Reuben thou art my first-born my might and the beginning of my strength the excellency of dignity and the excellency of power I suppose is sufficiently known This for his Judgement Secondly his Practice hath appeared by what his sufferings have been upon that account as his forced flight from London to Oxford His ruff usage in Wales or thereabouts by the Army then in the field against the King to the loss of some of his Books and Principall Manuscripts never recovered The taking that away from him which had been given him by the King for his maintenance and at length being necessitated to return to London he was silenced a long time from preaching unless in a private house and when with much adoe he was permitted to preach at Lincolns Inne it was that Honorable Society which gave him a competent maintenance but upon the failing of his eye-sight being compelled to give it up his small subsistance after that besides the continuance of the Countess of Peterburroughs respects to him in her house came with much difficulty through my hands unto him And as his Prayers whtch were all the Arms he had were daily lifted up like Moses hands for the prosperity of his Majesties affairs notwithstanding the hazzard he ran by it like that of Daniels by a prohibition to the contrary So was his joy or sorrow perpetually shown according to the success of them I shall instance in one particular Anno 1649. till when the Book of Common Prayer was in my Charge of Drogheda to his great content continued notwithstanding many Lords of the Parliament forces interchangeably had dominion over us the now Lord Duke of Ormond then appearing with an Army for the King and taking the Town with that part of his forces under the command of the Earl of Inchiquin the same day I attended his Lordship in the proclaiming of his Majesty and immediately went to the Church and used the Common Prayer for his Majesty And afterwards upon the Dukes comming himself thither we had a Fast for the good success of his Majesties forces at which I preached And a Communion was appointed the next Sunday though Oliver Cromwels landing with so great a force at Dublin interrupted us the event of which in that bloody storme and the hazzard of my self for the above-mentioned matters would be impertinent here to relate only thus much I may not omit as to this good Lord Primate That as his Letters were full of encouragement and approbation of me for it so at my coming over he embraced me with much affection upon that Accompt often rejoycing at the constancie of that Town where himself had refided and had sown so much of that Doctrine of Loyalty which by his Order four times a year according to the Canon was preached unto them And with many Tears he lamented the retarding of his Majesties affairs by the loss of so many faithfull Servants of his slain there in that Massacre in cool bloud In one thing more the Demonstration of his loyall affection to his Majesty was manifested by his passionate Commiseration of those of the distressed sequestred Clergy who had suffered for him and by his appearing to his utmost for them which was more commendable then by hiding himself to have take no more care but to preserve one When that merciless Proclamation issued forth against such that they might not so much as teach a School for their livelyhood when my soliciting for them by his encouragement representing their petitions and petitioning for them is my own name subscribed only to have had them capable of a Contribution throughout England for which as Feoffees in Trust Doctor Bromrigg then the learned Bishop of Exeter and my self were nominated could not prevail and an elegant Apologie for them written by Doctor Gauden the now Reverend Bishop of Exeter which I delivered with my own hand proved also ineffectuall Then this eminent Primat out of a compassionate sense of their miseries was perswaded by me to make a Tryall how farr his own personal presence might prevail in their behalf and so much against his own Genius and with great regret within himself to go into Whitehall he having no other occasion in the world besides he went and I wated on him thither for that end where he spake at freely and fully as some impertinent interpositions of discourses would permit him but to his great grief returned fruitless and I think he never resented any thing more deeply not living many moneths after unto which the ungrateful censures and rash extravagant language of such whom he thus endeavored to serve added the more to it which in some hath not been abated to his very Memory Now
