A95750	A nevv discovery of old pontificall practises for the maintenance of the prelates authority and hierarchy. Evinced by their tyranicall persecution of that reverend, learned, pious, and worthy minister in Jesus Christ, Mr. John Udall, in the raigne of Queene Elizabeth. To give satisfaction to all those that blindely endeavour to uphold episcopall government, that their lordly rule in the purest times of the said queene, is the very same with that they have exercised ever since, even to these times. Together with the prelates devises to make him submit, and to subscribe to submissions of their own contriving and invention. And also King James his letter out of Scotland to the queene, in the behalfe of Mr. Vdall and all other persecuted ministers in her realme.	Udall, John, 1560?-1592.; James I, King of England, 1566-1625.	1643 (1643)	Wing U14; Thomason E87_6; ESTC R212794	52,416	53

procurement he framed a pardon upon the same and sent it to the Privy Councell who r●ferred him to the Arch-Bishop but his anger was still immortall neither would he relent or condiscend to his freedom notwithstanding all his Petitions nor all the entreaties of Honourable persons and others of good quality that mediated for him At last the Turky Marchants sued to the Arch-Bishop that hee might goe into Guinea to teach their Traffiquers in that place who assented thereunto upon condition that they would be bound he should goe as soone as he had his liberty but when 2 of the ancients of that Company desired to have the Arch-Bishops hand thereunto he refused to subscribe unlesse they would be bound not only for his present departure but that he should remaine there untill he had the Queenes Licence to returne againe into England c. These premises being duly perpended let any indifferent man give a solid reason why such Episcopall Government should be restored for how they deported themselves in those pure times of Queene Elizabeth as it is now termed by this Relation is made apparent and in the time of King James there was no alteration for it is well knowne that they persecuted Mr. Dighton and other good men for meere Ceremonies and silenced also many worthy Ministers in his Raigne yet it is observable that they seduced that Learned King after he once came amongst them and that is evident by the difference betweene his Letter in this Relation and his conclusive sentence to maintaine the Prelates Authority at the Conference at Hampton Court in the first yeare of his Raigne Likewise in this King Charles his time they have stopped the mouths of sedulous and faithfull Preachers they have abolished Lectures mutilated stigmatized whipped and tortured sundry of the Clergy and Laity as Mr. Burton Dr. Bastwicke Mr. Prynne Dr. Leighton and others for disclosing their Tyranny and abuses and yet some sillie men are so farre enamoured of them that they had rather a destructive Episcopacy should roughly sway in this Kingdome then that a preservative Parliament should free both Clergy and Laity from such Scorpions stings And since experience in all ages evinceth that wheresoever Episcopacy is there will be Tyranny therefore all the truely Reformed Churches in Europe have abolished the cause that thereby the effect might also be utterly extinguished To conclude this pious and worthy person Mr Iohn Vdall as this ensuing Relation testifieth stood firme and constant for the Reforma●ion even to death and would not be deterred from it though strictly imprisoned fettered condemned and bereft of all worldly comforts which should prove a Mirrour to all of that Tribe but especially to his own Posterity to instruct them not to deflect from so singular a patterne and deviate into oblique and erroneous courses lest those objurgations of the Prophet be justly applied to them as namely Hosea 7. 11. Ephraim is also like a Dove deceived without heart they call to Egypt they goe to Ashur c. The same is reiterated Hosea 12. 1. Ephraim is fed with the winde and followeth after the East winde he increaseth daily lies and destruction and they do make a Covenant with Ashur and oyle is carried into Egypt And these places of Scripture may one day heavily reflect upon Mr. Ephraim Vdall his Sonne unworthy of such a Father who hath forgotten to follow his Fathers steps but runeth a retrograde course from them in erecting a new Raile at his own charge about the Communion Table in his Church since the former was removed by the Order of Parliament and delivering the Elements to none but those that come up to his Rayle and denied to subscribe for moneys for the defence of the King and Parliament refusing to read the Orders that come from the Parliament or Lord Major of London but none was so forward as lie in permiting the Booke of sports on the Lords day and the Prayer against the Scots to be read in his Church and as it seemeth he loveth the Parliament so litle that hee never prayeth for good successe to their Army but on the contrary he prayeth That the hand of vengeance may strike such as take up Armes against the King And no one can judge but that the intent of such expressions are onely the calling for vengeance on the heads of those who endeavor to defend Religion Laws and Liberties against those Trayterous and wicked Counsellours which have too much entercourse with his Majesty And by report his House is a receptacle for disaffected Ministers that frequently resort thither and as it may be conjectured by the persons little good is hatched amongst them and he is growne into such estimation with Birds of that feather that Doctors Proctors and such Malecontents against the Parliament are his constant Auditors The Apostles Councell is good and salubrious Study to be quiet and do your own businesse 1 Thess 4. 11. which if all perverse Spirits would have practised these miserable distracters would never have ingulphed us in this unnaturall War Farewell The Particular EXAMINATIONS Arraignement and Condemnation of IOHN VDALL Minister of the word of GOD together with such things as passed betweene him and others by occasion thereof SEeing you desire to understand the particular things that have passed betwixt mee and them in authority that have from time to time molested mee I am willing to satisfie you at this time in that which concerneth this my last and greatest trouble that ever befell me for that it brought me to Prison referring you to get the former of c. by such meanes as you may and to learne the particulars of my Arraignement of those that heard it seeing it was at the publike Assises in the presence of many hundreds divers whereof I thinke were both able and willing to t●ke note thereof After that I was silenced at Kingston in manner as appeareth in the papers that contain a particular remembrance of the same I rested about hal a yeer preparing my selfe to a private life for that I saw so little hope of returne into my ministery or any rest in it to the good of the Church But God would not have it so For meanes were made by some that feared God in Newcastle upon Tyne to the Earle of Huntington to send me thither who did so and I was received thither in such sort as contented mee and joyned in the ministery of the word there with two godly men Mr. Houldesworth the Pastor and Mr. Bamford a teacher through whose joynt l●bours God vouchsafed so to draw the people to the love of the word no●withstanding that the Plague was grievous in the Towne all the while I was there and consumed above 2000 of the Inhabitan●s as we had hope in time to see much fruit and receive great comfort of our labours But the enemy so envyed the same that after a Yeares abode there I was fetched thence by letters from the Lord Hunsdon Lord
