whosoeuer though before iustified did commit any grieuous sin as adultery murther treason or the like did become ipso facto subiect to Gods wrath and guilty of damnation or were in state of damnation quoad praesentem statum vntill they did repent adding hereunto that those which were called and iustified according to the purpose of Gods election hovvsoeuer they might and did sometime fall into grieuous sins and thereby into the present state of wrath and damnation yet did neuer fall either totally from all the graces of God to be vtterly destitute of all the partes and seede thereof nor finally from iustification but were in time renued by Gods spirit vnto a liuely faith and repentance and so iustified from those sinnes and the wrath curse and guilt annexed thereunto whereinto they were fallen and wherein they lay so long as they were without true repentance for the same Against which doctrine hee saide that some had opposed teaching that all such persons as were once truely instified though after they fel into neuer so grieuous sinnes yet remained still iust or in the state of iustification before they actually repented of those sinnes yea and though they neuer repented of them through forgetfulnesse or sudden death yet they should bee iustified and saued without repentance In vtter dislike of this Doctrine his Maiestie entred into a longer speech of predestination and reprobation then before and of the necessary conioyning repentance and holinesse of life with true faith concluding that it was hypocrisie and not true iustifying fayth which was seuered from them for although predestination and election dependeth not vpon any qualities actiōs or works of man which be mutable but vpon God his eternall and immutable decree and purpose yet such is the necessitie of repentance after knowne sinnes committed as that without it there could not be either reconciliation with God or remission of those sinnes Next to this Doctor Reynalds complained that the Catechisme in the Common prayer booke was too briefe for which one by Maister Nowell late Deane of Paules was added and that too long for young nouices to learne by heart requested therefore that one vniforme Catechisme might bee made which and none other might be generally receiued it was asked of him whether if to the short Catechisme in the Communion Booke something were added for the doctrine of the Sacraments it would not serue His Maiestie thought the Doctors request very reasonable but yet so that hee would haue a Catechisme in the fewest and plainest affirmatiue termes that may bee taxing withall the number of ignorant Catechismes set out in Scotland by euerie one that was the Sonne of a Good man insomuch as that which was Catechisme doctrine in one congregation was in another scarsely accepted as sound and Orthodox wished therefore one to bee made and agreed vppon adding this excellent gnomicall and Canon-like Conclusion that in the reforming of a Church he wold haue two rules obserued first that old curious deepe and intricate questions might be auoided in the fundamentall instruction of a people Secondly that there should not be any such departure from the Papistes in all thinges as that because we in some pointes agree with them therefore wee should bee accounted to bee in errour To the former D. Reynoldes added the prophanation of the Sabboth day and contempt of his Maiesties Proclamation made for the reforming of that abuse of which hee earnestly desired a straighter course for reformation thereof and to this he found a general and vnanimous assent After that he moued his Maiestie that there might bee a newe translation of the Bible because those which were allowed in the raignes of Henrie the eight and Edward the sixt were corrupt and not aunswerable to the truth of the Originall For example first Galathians 4. 25. the Greeke worde 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is not well translated as nowe it is Bordreth neither expressing the force of the worde nor the Apostles sense nor the situation of the place Secondly Psalme 105. 28. they were not obedient The Originall beeing They were not disobedient Thirdly Psalme 106. verse 30. Then stood vp Phinees and prayed the Hebrew hath Executed iudgement To which motion there was at the present no gainsaying the obiections beeing triuiall and old and alreadie in print often aunswered onely my Lord of London well added that if euery mans humour should be followed there would be no ende of translating VVhereupon his Highnesse wished that some especiall paines should be taken in that behalfe for one vniforme translation professing that hee could neuer yet see a Bible well translated in English but the worst of all his Maiestie thought the Geneua to bee and this to bee done by the best learned in both the Vniuersities after them to bee reuiewed by the Bishops and the chiefe learned of the Church from them to bee presented to the Priuie-Councell and lastly to bee ratified by his Royall authoritie and so this whole Church to be bound vnto it and none other Marry withall hee gaue this caueat vpon a word cast out by my Lord of London that no marginall notes should be added hauing found in them which are annexed to the Geneua translation which he sawe in a Bible giuen him by an English Lady some notes very partiall vntrue seditious and sauouring too much of daungerous and trayterous conceites As for example Exod. 1. 19. where the marginall note alloweth disobedience to Kings And 2. Chron. 15. 16. the note taxeth Asa for deposing his mother onely and not killing her And so concludeth this point as all the rest with a graue and iudicious aduise First that errours in matters of faith might bee rectified and amended Secondly that matters indifferent might rather be interrupted and a glosse added alleaging from Burtolus de regno that as better a King with some weakenesse then still a chaunge so rather a Church with some faultes then an Innouation And sure ly sayth his Maiestie if these bee the greatest matters you be grieued with I neede not haue beene troubled with such importunities and complaintes as haue beene made vnto me some other more priuate course might haue bene taken for your satisfaction and withall looking vppon the Lords he shooke his head smiling The last point noted by D. Reyn. in this first head for doctrine was that vnlawfull and seditious bookes might bee suppressed at least restrained and imparted to a few for by the libertie of publishing such bookes so commonly many young Schollers and vnsetled mindes in both Vniuersities and through the whole Realme were corrupted and peruerted naming for one instance that Booke intituled De iure Magistratus in Subditos published of late by Ficlerus a Papist and applied against the Queenes Maiestie that last was for the Pope The Bishop of London supposing as it seemed himselfe to bee principally aymed at aunswered first to the generall that there vvas no such licentious divulging of those bookes as he imagined or
