singularity went a different way from him and other Tractates in and about that time 4. He useth those of the Waldens●s and Wickliffists as he styles them very coarsly calling them scattered Conventicles charging them with Heterodoxes in Religion who I have heard and read suffered very much under the tyranny of the See of Rome 5. He highly magnifies the Writers of the Church of Rome and in special Bellarmine for his cordial and stout maintenance of some fundamental points of Faith comparing him with any of the Divines or learned men of the Reformed Churches entituling him Nobilissimus Cardinalis and so much himself confesseth but by another Witness I have been told that he did also then and at other such times accumulate divers others not only the like but greater Titles 6. He confesseth page 215. that upon this Dr. Prydeaux censured him in the Schools for a Papist and one of Bellarmines Disciples For my part I cannot but subscribe to so learned a Testimony and if it be so it were better for him to appear the same than thus to disguise himself to the dishonour of our profession This whole Relation speaks little or nothing to the Doctors reputation Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee What he tells us immediately after of his two Sermons at Woodstock and of the commendation given him by some of the Court as they must be his own Flatterers so it appears they were no judicious wise men by the over-much latitude in it ibid. as if in those two Sermons he had done more against Popery than all the Sermons Dr. Prydeaux had preached in his life time as it was an absurd ridiculous rant so it is worse becomming his own pen to be the Trumpet thereof And how it agrees with his haesitation whether the Religion of Popery be I dolatrous and superstitious as he doth in his Examen Historicum of Mr. Fullers History I leave it unto any man to judge I am sure in it he strayes from the Homilies of the Church of England who do fully determine it And what that Error was which he preached in a Sermon at Westminster for which the Dean publickly rebuked him in the Pulpit saying Sir no more of that and persisting therein he stroke the Pulpit with his staff saying No more of that I say I leave to his own memory it being very likely to be a kin to this And whereas he saith page 216. that he maintained this position that the Church could not erre unless he have some unknown reserve I know no point concludes him more to be what Dr. Prydeaux apprehended him and so I begin to think I was not at first much mistaken in conceiving of that Anonimous Observator Peter Heylin who began to write to the disparagement of the late Primat to have been some Agent of the See of Rome Nay as if he had not injured himself sufficiently he goes on to tell us page 217. of the opposition he made to Dr. Prydeaux and of his judgement in the questions propounded and of a check given to Dr. Prydeaux by the late Archbishop of Canterbury To what end is all this is it or can it be any reputation for him thus to thwart Dr. Prydeaux will he put his in the same scale with him Well as we know Dr. Prydeaux was an eminent and a pious person so it appears Dr. Heylin was a Disturber of him and hath in this very Book of his Examen Historicum confirm'd it sufficiently in the abuse of Mr. Thomas Fuller one of better reputation than himself and therein sooth for to say I cannot but commend him he alwaies aims at high and worthy persons not spending his Bolt soon shot upon such as are of mean esteem We have his own Confession and so the Crime is no new one as he saith but an old one with which seeing he hath charged himself what need we any further Witness He comes off but poorly from the Hiss and is as much mistaken in his confident conclusion this whole Relation with all prudent men making very much for the ho●our of Dr. Prydeaux and Peter Doctors own disreputation And so I leave him in the dirt with which he hath bespattered himself sufficiently Page ●19 As for that misplacing of the words by the Printet viz. Dr. Hackwell Archdeacon of Surrey and of Exeter College for Dr. Hackwell of Exeter College and Archdeacon of Surrey was not so worthy his Discourse as thus to spend six lines about it Now as for Dr. Hackwells certificate of him p. 220 it had been his wisest way to have let that die also first the return he makes p. 222. to the diminution of Dr. Hackwells abilities charging him with weakness in penning of his book affirming his own tale of St. George and the Dragon far excelling him in the Answers these are not to be heeded being only his own testimony and will be as little effectual to the injuring of the same and worth of that person as what he hitherto vented hath been to the late Primat or Dr. Prydeaux For his language p. 223. of Dr. Reynolds Dr. Hackwell both eminent professors of the Protestant Religion and the rest of that gang those are his words a Jesuite would have said little more But still 't is like himself as in the words thereafter following he hath the like again which I disdain to repeat And as to his magni●ying the Roman writers the Legendaries he does not deny it but defends himself in it These being the Premises the Conclusion which he only denies must undoubtedly follow of Dr. Hackwells cen●ure of him viz. That his words will hardly passe for a commendation or a slaunder And in p. 224. as to my saying that he hath made good that term of Sophistry ●hrough●ut his Bo●k he accuseth himself of it in the repetition of my words by halfs or disjointed A●●for the rules of Grammar which he would have the world know he hath not forgot besides that he descends too much from himself to make so long a narrative about it better becomming some Country Pedagogue I am sure they are better sense than what his Comment thereon doth give them for in a word this is all I having spoken of a Sophistry of his in his book immediately before I added which indeed are so many is not this cleer enough to be understood viz. which Sophistries are ●o many Yet Peter would have it amended into a calmer word viz. Errors but they plainly relate to Sophist●i●s which I th●ught fit to instance in one of his p. 225. where he maintaineth a Copulat ve and a Disjunctive t● b● all one and that which himself here confesseth viz. that it is not material in which se●se they be used diff●reth little from it And so we have an end of him though p. 226. he goes out like the snuff of a candle with an ill ●ent of some unsavory language against Dr. Hackwell not much to be valued only let me

Peter pursued OR D r. HEYLIN Overtaken Arrested and Arraigned upon his three Appendixes 1. Respondet Petrus 2. Answer to the Post-haste Reply 3. Advertisements on three Histories Of Mary Queen of Scots King Iames and King Charls Patch'd together in his EXAMEN HISTORICVM For which the Doctor is brought to Censure By WILLIAM SANDERSON Esq Ne quis vestrum patiatur ut alienarum rerum inspector LONDON Printed by Tho. Leach 1658. The Preface REaders of Books may be divided into three sorts 1. for Edification 2. for Recreation 3. for Cavillation But the last are the worst who peruse writings of purpose to pick quarrels with them which proceeds from an ignorant critical kind of pride or malignancy of Spirit and may be compared to the Horse flesh flies who in the end of Summer cannot see yet by chance fall upon sound flesh fly-blow it first and then feed upon it I should not apply this kind of reading to any particular person but that Dr. Peter Heylin appears so in the Appendix to his Respondet Petrus and in the other two Appendixes to his Examen Historicum wherein he falls upon the most frivial passages and in a snarling petulant way I shall here only acquaint the Reader that Doctor Heylin hath been too hasty in the Answer of my Post-haste Reply to his Respondet Petrus which Answer was not till now made publique Printed indeed it was immediately after his former Appendix but by the perswasion of his friends I did suppresse it excepting a few private Copies until now that I find him with another Appendix in Answer to that Reply of mine which I here publish out of a respect to him lest the world should think so great a Master of defence should fight with a shadow or a non ens 'T is worthy enough of him how little soever the worth may be in it self And yet in earnest I could have been content to have spared my self and the Readers pains herein if the Doctor had been so ingenuous to have crav'd pardon of me as he hath done by letter of that other person as I am informed with whose Histories he quarrel as he doth with mine POST-HASTE A REPLY TO PETER DOCTOR HEYLIN'S APPENDIX TO HIS TREATISE INTITULED Respondet Petrus c. BY WILLIAM SANDERSON Esq LONDON Printed for the use of the Author 1658. The Contents PEtrus his Preface examined A castigation of Doctor Heylin for his ill Manners to the late Primate of all Ireland And his scandalizing Doctor Prideaux at Court in divers false Informations With a Copy of his Answer to each And the Protestation he was compelled unto to cleer himself The Character given by Doctor Hackwell of Doctor Heylin Three passages replied unto and confirmed as before With some seasonable good Couusell to the Doctor if he have the will to accept thereof POST-HASTE A Reply to Peter Doctor Heylin His Appendix to his Treatise c. THere is a Treatise come forth the other day Intituled Respondet Petrus or an answer of Peter Heylin to Doctor Bernard c. And although it be very large to small purpose yet at the 109 th Page he adds an Appendix in answer to certain passages in Mr. Sandersons History of the late King Charles relating to the Lord Prymate The Articles of Ireland and The Earl of Strafford And as if it were so memorable a business to be kept upon Record he gives us punctually the day when he began to undertake this Taske and the time of his finishing In which I find little else true but the confessing of his infirmities and his unfitness to enter into disputes c. Instead of cleering himself he hath added more spots to his former Indeed Petrus hath made hast for notwithstanding the extremity of the season as he sayes and his languishing quartan-ague he hobled up his answers for the middle of the Term following with as much ease as Hoggs eate Acornes or Pidgeons pick Pease Yet he was interrupted the publishing by the undertakers with him a dead vacation not profitable for the vent thereof And so it came not forth untill just the first day of this Midsomer Term By it he hath both thriftily gotten the advantage of sale and enforceth his adversaries to hunt dry-foot after him a whole long Summers Vacation contemptible Grashoppers compared with such a sonne of Anak as himself Only Petrus considers wisely that although convicia spreta exolescunt c. Short liv'd Pamphlet● with which he hath been often bang'd pass away upon the breath of Rumour but for him to be enrolled upon record in the body of an History what is it lesse than for him to live defam'd and dye detestable a scorne to these times and an ignominy to all ages following But who can help it if a Man will make himself such I wish he be not prophetick in it which by this book he hath put hard for Let him not blame me t is the malefactor himself not the judge who pronounceth justly that is the Author of his own ruine And thus in briefe we have the Preface to his large Treatise which I shall leave to such whom it may concern if they conceive it worthy of answering for I find some learned Men are for the Negative as if he had been in it his self-revenger and next doore to a felo dese rather to be pitied than opposed I shall only take notice of his Appendix and shew him to the Reader by that light by which he longs to be seene wherein Petrus falls upon me not so much answering as to shew how little he deserves it I have been a while considering which part to take of that double Counsell of Solomon in the like case Answer not c. And yet answer c. I concluded upon the latter in this Post-Hast that the Term might not want an enterlude at the ending as well as it had by his Book at the beginning of it And now let me meet my Petrus who spends 17 whole Pages in the combate with me taking in his large Frontis peice or the Contents of his Appendix which might have well stood for the whole So have we seen a daring coward practise on the Stage to sence with his supposed foe when all that while it was but with his own hat and feather How much time doth Petrus spend to hear himself speak imagining the Reader to be bound up to his sence and audience Indeed I had warning heretofore not to meddle with him and was told that although he was blind yet he with his helpers could see as far into a Millstone as any other Man And that if he should be concerned in my History as how could he scape he would reprint himself and be thereby well paid for his paines And truly I conceive it no discretion for me to make it my business other than to dry-blow beat him since he is not herein worthy of bleeding For to say much were but to give him further occasion to

separation were alike with him And it seemes by this that his Nature is most addicted to the latter As for that great offence taken by him in the mistake of weakness for incredulity and Idleness for Inconsideration in the printing of the Prymates Letter There is no such difference either in quantity or quality but that if he can swallow the one as he hath done even now he may as easily digest the other And it being but a copy it might as well happen as other greater mistakes have been in my absence between the Margin and the body of that letter Though 't is possible for Petrus to shew his guilt of Idleness to make more work for the Press to no purpose Which petulant brain of his may be excused by the want of that sense which might divert his thoughts otherwise And for what else remaines concerning the Bishops whether sent for or sent to the King Or whether the Iudges were willing or unwilling to deliver their Iudgment against the votes of the Parliament I refer the Reader to what hath been said in the History too tedious to recite As for the challengers threats with which he concludes hereafter to commit a publique Riot on my whole History and therein to be made immortall by being loud and troublesome He that marcheth against the Ocean may no doubt take abundance of Cockle-shells Captive I confess ingeniously there may be mistakes in the body of so large an History which will be amended in the next Impression as it is sodainly intended wherein your oblique Information or any civill advertisement of others will direct me Seeing as Petrus saith abilities not governed by Infallibility cannot exempt a man from being obnoxious to mistakes with which his own Pamphlets are pestered But spare your Intelligence in the disquisition of one particular concerning the Children of Mr. Iohn Hambden of Buckingham Shire which is confes●ed an Errata and must be thus corrected That he died of his wounds and left three Sonnes compleat Persons both of body and mind what ere sinister Report then gave occasion of the mistake And now Petrus at parting I could find in my heart to give you a little good Counsell Be not so wilde an Ishmaelite as to have your hand against every man and provoking every mans hand against you Take the advice given to your name-sake Peter put up thy sword again into his place Leave off this cross●grain humour studying the injury against such Persons as the late eminent Prymate so far above you in learning and reputation that wise men look upon your language like the barking at the Moon or a mad-man throwing up a sharp stone which falls on his own pate This your last Book having made you such a Bankrupt in point of reputation with most men that all the charitable collections of your numerous helpers will not easily recruite you I reverence your function and mervail that many of your Bookes do so little concern it rather to the dishonour than otherwise and I am not at all obliged to respect your person Your travail hath been much earthy at which you began had you continued that Iourney you might have amended your own ●●rours What is otherwise as the observations of the Lords day or of Persons of piety who were and are for it you have been in a continuall combate against both Your own friends conceive you unfortunate to the disturbance of the Church in each For my part so soon as I find you reformed I shall contribute my endeavours that your credit now out of joint may be set right again Your own Pen that broke you must repair you though as yet I am among the number of those that therein despair And as you have been a mish Clergy that ever was guilty of it He began it whilst the Primate was living and prosecuted it after his death with all the violence that might be expected from an Enemy As to the quotations he makes out of his own several undigested Pamphlets to excuse himself they have only this sense viz. If the Scandal he had raised on the Primate were but silently received and so believed he would be quiet His laying aside of that Argument is of no value unless he had revoked it Page 208. As to that Page I say again what the two Honorable Persons mentioned by me have given under their hands and so attested and also offer their Oaths therein is enough to satisfie all unbyassed Persons And for his Author he ●ow boasts o● yet names none If he be a wise man he will not be willing to appear against the Primats own Declaration and those other Testimonies besides the Improbability so fully shewed heretofore If he be not wise 't is not much material But I have done with it Ibid. He confesseth that Iames Howel to whose bare Name he might have added the Title due to him being of better repute than Peter Heylin hath quitted that distinction of a personal and political Conscience by his Attestation of my History wherein I have mentioned it and is clear enough expressed But that Peter hath a trick when he is at a loss to make a large circumlocution about the sense only to amuze the Reader the thing is apparent by his own words wherein he was so conscious to himself as that he had not the face here to repeat them which are these If the Historian did say any thing of it it is expunged by Mr. Howel whom it only concerns when he had perused his History and passed his approbation of it Petrus Resp. pa. 144. so that his presumptuous conclusion is but a shadow and will vanish with any intelligent Reader Page 209. For the abrogating of the Articles of Ireland No rational unbias●ed Reader but may be satisfied in the Doctors Mis-information of that passage and if he had not a brow that could not blush he would not have touched any more on that string but seeing he will not own any Ingenuity in the clear acknowledgement of his mistake let him dye in it I suppose few or none live in that opinion with him Two pages following are spent in masking and unmasking himself with so much tergiversation that I let them pass only in page 210. I find him most galled with that testimony which Doctor Prydeaux and Doctor Hackwell give of him and instead of healing the wound he hath made it more wide and is therein found indeed his own self Revenger As concerning Dr. Prydeaux page 211. first he professeth himself to have been his Enemy in that business in that he saith page 212. If he had been called to the Hearing of it before the late King it is not probable Dr. Prydeaux had gone off so clearly with those evasions 2. He acknowledgeth page 113. That the paper published was of Dr. Prydeaux own penning and given by him amongst his friends 3. In page 214. That he opposed Dr. Prydeaux in his Lectures De visibilitate Ecclesiae and affecting a
