which the Archbishop afterwards found in that afterward after the fatal unhappy killing of the Keeper by him in the Lord Zouch his Park the King was not pleased to hear the Aggravation of the Crime against him but suffered him to live in place and grace to his last period having received his faithfull admonition as the duty of a good Conscience and zeal from a Religious Counsellor for the King 's and Christ's honor as to this effect Quin aspice quantum Aggrediare nefas dum licet effuge crimen And this knowing how and being indeed happily in season admonished Eccles 4. 13. according to the wisdom which cometh down from heaven being first pure peaceable gentle easie to be intreated full of mercy and good fruits James 3. 17. without partiality and without hypocrisy And this fruit of righteousness was sown thus in peace of him that according to his Royal Motto Beati Pacifici made Peace He that is his Majesty therefore considered further preferring the leniment of a good Conscience before all the Sirens Songs of seducing vel tantillum from the right way and concluded as he began according to Queen Elizabeth's Motto and his own Resolution and Religion not only in style Defensor Fidei but in zealous Vindication as well in his Apology for the Protestant faith as in the Oath of Allegiance And therefore he held out through the good hand of God helping him without having that blame as the Angel of Thyatira had I have something against thee because thou sufferest that woman Jezabel and so concluded as the Sun in his setting as we see Intaminatis honoribus ut esse Phoebi Dulcius lumen solet jamjam cadentis Chelsey College Institution was his extream aim to have had it compleated in his life-time for after-ages to have the fruit and the fruition of it and to bless God for his so gracious Indulgence Hereupon the King considered further I say and would be no more at leisure to hear of the Toleration but rather as Prov. 25. 23. the North wind driveth away rain so did the Kings angry Countenance the intolerable Solicitors for Toleration I might goe on yet further in shewing not only that Middleton's Aquaeduct from Ware to London spoiled the water-Project for Chelsey College but that the design for repairing of Pauls Church likewise quite eclipsed and damped the building of Chelsey College but above all the untimely death of Prince Henry as is afore mentioned who was the stately Elm by which the Vine of Chelsey College did hope to rise and spread but the Divine hand having cut him off the poor and weak Vine of this Project fell to crawle on the ground and to be trod under the feet of wild and impure beasts Let us hereupon still hear and heed what Dr Fuller saies and he is ever most worthy to be heard At this time the College hath but little of the Case and nothing of the Jewel for which it was intended Almost rotten before ripe and ruinous before it was finished It stands bleak like a lodge in a garden of Cucumbers having pleasant waters the River Thames near it and store of wholesom aire about it but very little of the necessary Element of Earth belonging unto it Yea since I am informed that sith the College taketh not effect according to the desire and intent of the first founders it hath been decreed in Chancery by the joynt Consent of Dr Daniel Featly the third Provost of the College wherein by the way and favour of Dr Fuller there is a gross mistake when he calls Dr Featley the third Provost for Dr Featley was indeed next to Dr Sutcliffe himself and but the second Provost whom indeed the Lord Mounson commenced his suit with for the Land whereon that part of the College is built to whom Dr Sutcliffe travelled to London on purpose to seek out Dr Featley and actually and personally to resign the Provostship unto him and invest Dr Featley with it in all the dignity and rights unto it belonging and therefore no likelyhood of suit with Dr Featley in Chancery either by Dr Sutcliffe or his heirs but more likely rather with the third Provost indeed which was Dr Slater with whom perhaps the Chancery suit was commenced and Dr Prideaux the surviving Feoffee intrusted in Dr Sutcliffe's will that the aforesaid Farms of Kingstone Hazzard and Appleton should return again to the possession of Mr Halee Esq as the Heir General to the said Dr Sutcliffe on what Consideration I leave and cease to inquire it is enough to perswade me saith Dr Fuller it was done in equity because done by the Lord Coventrie But I say if Dr Featley had had any hand in it then Dr Sutcliffe resigning to him a condition or word of Caution had been enough what needed a suit with Dr Featley More probable rather that the suit was commenced I say with and against Dr Slater or if not with Dr Slater with Dr Wilkinson the present I know not by what means since Dr Slaters death self-surping Provost and that the transaction was from him rather because the disert mention is of the third Provost which was not Dr Featley but Dr Slater or by Dr Wilkinson from himself imposed upon Dr Slater So that now only the Farm of Kemerland in Devon of Dr Sutcliffe's donation remains to the College All that I will adde saith Dr Fuller is this As this College was intended for Controversies so now there is a Controversie about the College costly suits lately being commenced betwixt William Lord Mounson who married the widow Dowager of the aforesaid William Earl of Nottingham and the present Provost viz. Dr Samuel Wilkinson about the Title of the very ground whereon it standeth and that but for a lease of some few years the land it self being Crown-land To say nothing concerning its Calamity in the extent of late fury the Abuses the Abominations in the desolation it becoming as a Cage of Horresco reputans unclean birds a Prostibulum for whores a stable for horses c. and not only a place petitioned for to make leather Guns in but desired also for a Palaestra to manage great horses and practise horsemanship Now to all these three great witnesses in their wisdom approving and improving the design of Chelsey College Archbishop Abbott wisely and sedulously soliciting the Bishops and perswading the Kingdom with most grave and gracious motives to contribute unto it Bishop Hall sweetly commending and insinuating the Project to be promoted that it might not perish and Dr Fuller amply setting forth the Institution nature provision uses and end of it at full let me adde but one more that is Mr Richard Baxter who is so learnedly verst especially in the most subdolous devices of the Papists and expresly the Panurgy of Adam Contzen Jesuit his directions for preserving and restoring Popery and changing Religion in a Nation before the people are aware in the said Adam's Politicks lib. 2.
