Protestants If that would do it And what Christian Soul would not do the like for an End so noble and glorious This was no more in effect than what fell from the mouth of that Great and Excellent Person the Lord Archbishop Juxton who discoursing with my self about Indulgence to Dissenters at his first coming to Lambeth after the King's Return was pleased thus to express himself That if the yielding of some few small matters would win them to joyn cordially with us in the Practice of the rest he could very well be content with it And this signified just as much as Mr. Dean's Expression with this Proviso If that would do it But I must not dissemble that His Grace added thus much You know Mr. N. I have sometimes sate at the Helm and truly I have studied the temper of these men and could never find them so * The Bishop added That there was no way to govern this sort of people but by a streight Rain ingenuous For gratifie them in any thing and you do but encourage them to ask more They will use your Condescention as an Argument of your Conviction that your own Practice is ill and their Requiries just and reasonable Nor will they rest satisfied till all matters of Decency and Order be laid aside to make way for their own new-fangled Innovations If my Lord were mistaken in the temper of these Dissenters I shall be heartily glad to see it in their practice and compliance In the interim it concerns the Prudence of all that are in Authority to have regard to those Worthies who have sate at the Stern heretofore who without all doubt watch'd all opportunities to secure the Government with the Interest of the Church and Kingdom To call their Prudence and Piety into question will make our own suspecte● and put our Integrity under some dispute Such were Cranmer Whi●gift Bancroft to name no more amongst our Bishops and amongst our Sovereign Princes such were Q. Elizabeth K. James and K. Charles of over blessed memory To secure the Ark of God and keep it steddy they could never be induced to set it upon new Carriages nor to trust the stumbling Oxen with the conduct of it but left that to the care of the ancient Hierarchy We see Sir the memory of those great persons is precious and had in honour and if we consult our own reputation with our tranquillity we shall find it the fairest and nearest way to it to tread in their steps And if these Dissenters notwithstanding their pretences to Religion should be of implacable spirits resolved to carry then beats and animosities down to the grave with them their speedy march off would be a mercy to the Church and Nation unless God please to mollifie their hearts into a dutiful compliance upon terms of Truth Justice and Ingenuity And if this their zealous Advocate be not able to prevail with them to this effect we may very well expect from his modesty that he should acquiesce in the premisses or at lea●● that he should solicit their Cause no more till he hath given us some tolerable satisfaction to these important Quare's 1. What sort of Dissenters he does plead for 2. What Commission he can shew that they have appointed him to be their Advocate 3. What Alterations they are which he can undertake they shall acquiesce in 4. What Security he can give the Church that they will cordially joyn with us in the practice of all the rest 5. What he can propound to satisfie Dissenters of other sorts who may plead an equal right to the like * See Puritans-Papismus pag. 29. by Oliver Ormerod Printed 1605. Indulgence But I perceive this is too hard a task for him whereupon he does very wisely excuse himself from it in these words It is not for me the meanest of ten thousand to act the Dictator no no I will turn Orator and humbly pray When his Prayer is done I must remind this Orator of his own Acknowledgments That Peace is that Legacy which our dearest Lord hath lest to his Disciples That Union and Communion among Christians is both the beauty and strength of the Church That which renders her lovely as a City compacted together and terrible as an Army with Banners Next I must remin● him of that Reverend Dean's Doctrine That men ought to bring along with them a peaceable disposition and a mind ready to comply with the Church in which they were born and baptized in all reasonable and lawful * The Archbishop owns ours to be lawful See above things and desirous upon any terms that are tolerable to return to the Communion of it a mind free from passion and prejudice from peevish Exceptions and groundless and endless scruples Herein the nameless Orator prosesseth most cheerfully to yield to him Oh that it may be according to his word that as he says there may be no more crumbling into Parties and Factions but that all the sons and daughters of Zion may worship God in the beauty of holiness with one shoulder and with one consent of mind and mouth in forms and gestures And then our Morals and Conversation being consonant to our Religious Worship we may assure our selves that upon all our Assemblies there will be a glory and upon that Glory a defence and through God's blessing that Defence will be Impregnable Which God of his mercy grant us Amen FINIS
