Bilney observing in Latimer misguided Zeal Latimer converted by Bilney repaired to his Chamber and desired him to hear his Confession The hearing whereof improved by Gods Spirit so wrought on Latimer that of almost a Persecutour he became a zealous Promoter of the Truth Then going to M r.

Thomas Cranmer was outed of his Fellowship in Iesus Colledge for being married His wife was Kinswoman to the Hostess at the Dolphin which causing his frequent repair thither gave the occasion to that impudent Lie of ignorant Papists that he was an Ostler Indeed with his learned Lectures he rubb'd the galled Backs and curried the lazy Hides of many an idle and ignorant Frier being now made Divinity-Reader in Buckingham Colledge But soon after his Wife dying within the year being a VViddower he was re-elected into Iesus Col.

of succession could be pleaded where no two links followed in order But others answered that such popular election of Stephen had been of validity if the electors had been at liberty whereas they being preingaged to Maud by former oath could not again dispose of those their votes which formerly they had passed away 32. Others conceived that the stain of Stephen his usurpation in getting the Crown A second party with theiropposers was afterward scoured clean out by his long more then eighteen years enjoying thereof For suppose Providence for a time may winke Anno Regis Steph. 〈◊〉 and connive yet it cannot be conceived in so long a slumber yea asleep yea a lethargie as to permit one peaceably so long to posses a Throne except heaven had particularly designed him for the same To this others answered that Stephen all that time rather possessed then enjoyed the Crown alarum'd all his life long by Maud and her Son so that he had as little quiet in as right to the Kingdom But grant his possession thereof never so peaceable what at first was foundered in the foundation could not be made firm by any height of superstructure thereupon An error by continuance of time can never become a truth but more inveterate error 33. A third of maintained that Subjects Loyaltie is founded on their Soveraigns protection A third with theirs so that both sinke together Seeing therefore Maud was unable to afford her people protection her people were bound to no longer allegiance But thus position was disproved by such who bottoming allegiance onely on conscience make protection but the encouragement not the cause thereof They distinguished also betwixt a Princes wilful deserting his people and his inability to protect them not through his own default but the forcible prevailing of others Thus the conjugal tie is onely dissolved by the parties voluntary uncleanness and not by his or her adventitious impotency to render due benevolence 34. A fourth party avouched A fourth with theirs that Maud though not actually and openly yet tacitly and interpretatively released the English from their allegiance unto her For what Prince can be presumed so tyrannical as to tie up people to the strict termes of Loyaltie unto him when the same is apparently destructive unto them and no whit advantagious to himself But others disliked this position for where did nay such relaxation appear It cancelleth not the obligation of a debtor to fancy to himself an acquittance from his creditor which cannot be produced 35. Some acted at the commands though not for the commands of King Stephen Some act at not for King Stephens commands namely in such things wherein his injunctions concurred with equity charity and order consistent with the principles of publike utility and self-preservation These having the happiness to be commanded by an Usurper to do that which otherwise they would have done of themselves did not discover themselves to act out of their own inclinations whilest it passed unsuspected in the notion of their obedience to King Stephen Thus many thousands under the happy conduct or at leastwise contrivance of Thurstan Arch-Bishop of York though in their hearts well affected to Maud her title unanimously resisted David King of Scots though he pretended recuperative armes in Queen Maud her behalf under which specious title he barbarously committed abominable cruelties till nettled therewith both Stephanists and Maudists joyntly bad him battle and overthrew him nigh Alerton in York-shire 36. All generally bare the burdens and no less politickly then patiently Politick patience paied all taxes imposed upon them Recusancy in this kinde had but armed King Stephen with a specious pretence to take all from them for refusing to give a part Nor scrupled they hereat because thereby they strengthened his usurpation against the rightful heir because done against their wills and to prevent a greater mischief Mean time they had a reservation of their loyaltie and erecting a throne in their hearts with their prayers and tears mounted Queen Maud on the same 37. Robert Robert Earl of Glocester singular Earl of Glocester the Queens half-brother may even make up a forme by himself finding none other before or after him of the same opinion Who conditionally did homage to King Stephen scilicet a Mat. Paris pag. 75 si dignitatem suam sibi servaret illibatam namely So long as he preserved this Roberts dignity for so I understand the Pronoune's reciprocation to be inviolated 38. A few there were Highly conscientious whose relucting consciences remonstrated against the least compliance with King Stephen whose high loyalty to Maud interpreted all passiveness under an Usurper to be activity against the right heir These even quitted their Lands in England to the tempest of time and secretly conveyed themselves with the most incorporeal of their estates as occuping in the least room in their wastage over into Normandy 39. The Clergie An honest revote of the Clergie perceiving that King Stephen performed little of his large promises unto them were not formerly so forward in setting him up 1136. but now more fierce in plucking him down and sided effectually with Maud against him An act which the judicious behold not as a crocked deed bowing them from their last but as an upright one streight'ning them to their first and bxest oath made to this Maud in the life time of her father But Stephen resolved to hold with a strong what he had got with a wrong hand fell violently on the Bishops who then were most powerfull in the land every prime one having as a Cathedral for his devotion so many manors for his profit parks for his pleasure and castles for his protection and he uncastled Roger of Sarisbury Alexander of Lincoln and Nigellus of Ely taking also a great mass of treasure from them 40. Most fiercely fell the fury of King Stephen on the Dean and Canons of Pauls for crossing him in the choice of their Bishop For he sent Canons of Pauls soundly paid and took their a Rad. de Diceto in huncanum Focarias and cast them into London Tower where they continued many dayes not without much scorn and disgrace till at last those Canons ransomed their liberty at a great rate 41. What these Focariae were we conceive it no disgrace to confess our ignorance What Focariae were the word not appearing in any Classical Author and we must by degrees scrue our selves into the sense thereof 1. It signifieth some female persons the gender of the word discovering to much 2. They were near to the Canons who had an high courtesie for them as appears by procuring their liberty at so dear a price 3. Yet the word speaks not the least relation of affinity or consanguinity unto them 4. All the light we can get in this Focariae is from some sparks of fire which we behold in the word so as if these shee s were nymphs

of every plough-land in England betwixt Trent and Edenburgh-frith twenty four b Stow in the end of K. Stephens life Oat-sheaves for the Kings Hounds Stephen converted this rent-charge to his new-built Hospital in York A good deed no doubt for though it be unlawful to take the c Mark 7. 27. childrens bread and to cast it unto the dogs it is lawful to take the dogs bread and to give it unto the children 47. The King 16. being desirous to settle Soveraignty on his Son Eustace 1150. earnestly urged Theobald Arch-Bishop of Canterbury to Crown him The constancy of Theobald Arch-Bishop of Canterbury For Stephen saw that fealty barely sowrn to Maud in her Fathers life time was afterwards broken and therefore his own guilt making him the more suspicious for the better assurance of his Sons succession he would go one step farther endeavouring to make him actual King in his own life time But the Arch-Bishop stoutly refused though proscribed for the same and forced to flie the land till after some time he was reconciled to the King 48. Eustace the Kings Son died of a frenzie 19. as going to plunder the lands of Bury d Mat. Paris in this year Abby 1153. A death untimely in reference to his youthful years The seasonable death of Prince Eustace but timely and seasonably in relation to the good of the Land If conjecture may be made from his turbulent spirit coming to the Crown he would have added tyrannie to his usurpation His Father Stephen begins now to consider how he himself was old his Son deceased his Subjects wearied his Land wasted with War which considerations improved by the endeavours of Theobald Arch-Bishop of Canterbury and Gods blessing on both produced an agreement between King Stephen and Henry Duke of Normandy the former holding the Crown for his life and after his death settling the same on Henry his adopted Son and Successor 49. We have now gotten to our great credit An English-man Pope and comfort no doubt an English-man Pope namely Nicholas Breakspear alias Adrian the fourth Born saith my e Camden in Middlesex Author nigh Vxbridg in Middlesex of the ancient and Martial family of the Breakspears though f Bale in English Votaries fol. 85. others make him no better then a bastard of an Abbot of S t Albans The Abbot of which Covent he confirmed the first in place of all in England If I miscount not we never had but four Popes and a half I mean Cardinal Pool Pope elect of our Nation And yet of them one too many will the Papists say if Pope Jone as some esteem her were an English-woman Yea lately the Elected following the plurality of the Electors they have almost ingrossed the Papacy to the Italians Our Adrian had but bad success choaked to death with a flie in his throat Anno Dom. 1153. Thus any thing next nothing be it but advantagiously planted Anno Regis Hen. 1 19. is big enough to batter mans life down to the ground 50. Jeffery ap Arthur commonly called from his native place Jeffery Monmouth defended Jeffery of Monmouth was now Bishop of S t Asaph He is the Welsh Herodotus the father of ancient History and fables for he who will have the first must have the later Polydore Virgil accuseth him of many falshoods so hard it is to halt before a cripple who notwithstanding by others is defended because but a translator and not the original reporter For a translator tells a lie in telling no lie if wilfully varying from that copy which he promiseth faithfully to render And if he truly translates what he findes his duty is done and is to be charged no further Otherwise the credit of the best translator may be crack'd if himself become security for the truth of all that he takes on trust from the pens of others 51. King Stephen ended his troublesome life The death of K Stephen A Prince 1154 who if he had come in by the door 20. the best room in the house had not been too good to entertain him Whereas now the addition Usurper affixed generally to his name corrupts his valour into cruelty devotion into hypocrisie bounty into flattery and design Yet be it known to all though he lived an Usurper he died a lawful King for what formerly he held from the rightful heir by violence at his death he held under him by a mutual composition He was buried with his Son and Wife at Feversham in Kent in a Monastery of his own building At the demolishing whereof in the regin of King Henry the Eighth a Stow in the end of his life some to gain the lead wherein he was wrapp'd cast his corps into the Sea Thus Sacriledg will not onely feast on gold and silver but when sharp set will feed on meaner metals 52.
