Ken Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells Bishop of our Church yet in Being and Vncanonically turned out to beg his Bread whose Bishoprick was setled on him for his Life according to the Laws of the Realm which setled St. Peter's in Cornhil upon you which you have sworn to preserve and maintain to your power You are not ignorant that a Bishop according to the Rules and Practice of the Church in all Ages cannot warrantably be depriv'd or depos'd but by a Synod of Bishops either General or Provincial But was there any such Method of Proceeding in the Case of our deprived Bishops It being never heard of old that Bishops were deposed or deprived by mere Lay-men who might indeed as legally depose Bishops as the People might an Hereditary King no not in the Arian Persecution Reflect I beseech You on the dismal Fate as a just Punishment of the Sin much like that of Corah of those Ecclesiastical Schismatical * Two Arian Priests who died miserably and unpitied Vsurpers Gregory and George of Cappadocia who unjustly invaded the See of Alexandria which was wisely and honestly refus'd by Eusebius Emisenus when proffer'd to him upon the deposing of Athanasius the Orthodox Bishop there for no other Crime than that of his Conscience your deprived Bishop's Fault refusing to comply with the Wickedness of the Time and vigorously opposing the prevailing Arian Faction But the Good Conscientious Bishop was by the Providence of God with Honour restor'd to his See to the Joy of his Friends who faithfully stuck to him in Banishment and the Shame and Confusion of his Enemies To enter upon the Right and Possession of another Is it I pray agreeable to the Golden Rule which you observ'd our Saviour recommended Whatsoever ye would that Men should do to you even so do ye to them Read and apply the Apostle's earnest Expostulation Rom. 2. 21 22 c. Thou therefore which teachest another teachest thou not thy self Thou that preachest a Man should not steal dost thou steal Thou that abhorrest Idols dost thou commit Sacriledge Thou that makest thy boast of the Law through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God For the Name of God is blasphemed through you O Sir Consider what Occasion you give to the Enemies of our Religion to blaspheme that worthy Name by which we are called Is this worthy of the Pious Dr. Beveridge the Humble Mortified Self-denying Heavenly minded Dr. Beveridge Whom we esteem'd a Second Chrysostom in our Antioch the Ornament of our Protestant City a Main Pillar in our Church the Beauty of our Israel a burning and a shining Light a bright Star in our English Firmament and the great Reviver and Example of Primitive Piety celebrating the blessed Sacrament the lively Memory of the Passion of our Lord that heavenly Feast of Love which thinks and does no Ill to its Neighbor every Sunday And is it not strange that so worthy a Divine and so good a Christian should be guilty of so scandalous so shameful a Prevarication But O how are the Mighty fallen How unaccountably prevalent and mischievous are the Charms of that Sin which the Spirit of God compares to the * 1 Sam. 15. 23. Sin of Witchcraft God Almighty open your Eyes and your Brethren's that you may see your Errors and repent and break off your Sins by Righteousness and so avert his Wrath and Judgments both from your Selves and these trembling Nations Which is the earnest Prayer of REVEREND SIR London May 2. 1691. Your Sincere and Faithful Monitor And Hearty Well-Wisher c. SIR You 'll pardon this plain Dealing for which I have a Warrant from God himself Lev. 19. 17.
