Dapifer Probat hoc cum divite Pauper England keep decent Hospitality as they are obliged according to their Degree to satisfie the Bounty of Princes and the Magnificence of their Donors or the last Will and Testament of their godly Predecessors many of * S. William so called was Nephew to Henry Bishop of Winchester who was King Stephen's Brother Hugh Pudsey Bishop of Duresme King Stephen's Nephew William Courtney Son to Hugh Earl of Devonsh●re Archbishop of Canterbury and many more such Natalium splendore illustres in Bishop Godwin's excellent Book de Praesulibus Angliae which it would be an honour to the Church and Nation to continue since for above threescore years he wants a worthy Successor them of Noble blood the lawful † 'T is a vulgar Error confuted by History That every bit of the Clergy's Revenues and every parcel of their Church-lands is held in Frank-almoigne To say nothing now of Tythes which the Clergy must hold of God in Capite had no Clergy-men trow we many of them as appears above of so Noble and some of them of Royal blood ever any temporal Estate of his own Patrimony or Purchase though much of it may be consumed aforehand in their Education and long Studies in the Schools to make themselves able and sufficient for that high and sacred Office For instance first Walter Gray Archbishop of York in H. 3d's time did purchase the Mannor of Bishopthorp neer York and gave the same to his Church specie-tenus for a very good reason but re ipsâ to his Archiepiscopal See which to this day injoys it successively as the Archbishop's Mansion-house See Bishop Godwin quo suprá 2ly Lawrence Boothe Archbishop of York also in Edw. 4th's time did purchase the Mannor of Battersey neer London built the House there and gave it to his See Ibid. 3ly Hugh Pudsey who built the House and Church of Darlington and founded the Priory of Fenkelo near Durham And now I mention Durham I may not omit to commend to Posterity the Magnificence of John Cosin the present Lord Bishop of that See our venerable Dioecesan who since the happy Restauration of the King and Prelates hath repaired and notably adorned the Episcopal Castles both of Duresme and of Bishops-Aukland where he hath erected a goodly Chappel Two other Chappels formerly belonging to that Castle being by the late Sacrilegious Rebellion blown up and destroyed The same Bishop hath also founded two Hospitals or Alms-houses one at Duresme and another at Auckland Purchasers of some of the Lands and Founders of the Houses of Bishops Deans and Chapters then straightway our Prelates must incur the Imputation of Riot and Excess and be blasted with the Pride of pompous worldly splendor Thus are our Bishops traduced on both sides An hard Dilemma but easily dissolved as long as our Christian Bishops have a godly Care in the sight of God as to satisfie their own Consciences so to answer the Expectation of honest and sober men as long as their civil Hospitality to their good Neighbours as the Prelates are men and great men doth not hinder much less exclude their Sacred Hospitality towards the Poor to which also and that chiefly Bishops are obliged as by the Apostle's Rule Tit. 1.8 to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is Lovers of Hospitality in general and as the Original bears it Lovers of strangers in special So by the Canons of the Church and their solemn Vow at their Consecration according to which our Prelates and Church-men doing their duty they need not much care for the talk of the Vulgus or fear the pretended charge of this kind of Real Sacriledge namely The abuse of the Revenues of the Church 7. One kind of Sacriledge more the holy Fathers have observed out unto us too too seasonable nay necessary for you in these days to take notice of 't is Sacriledge committed against this Sacred Book of God to wit when the holy Senses Words and Phrases thereof appropriated to the Expressions of Divine and Sacred Mysteries are abused either in a prophane and scurrilous application of them the humour now a-la-mode with the Court or Camp-Atheist or in a sacrilegious Detortion of Holy Writ to the Patronage of Heresie or Schisme Rebellion or Sedition or Sacriledge Errors in Life or Doctrine or both 8. This kind of Scripture Sacriledge is as old as Adam's fall and the Devils own early Invention or ever the word was written he did snatch it with reverence be it spoken out of God's own mouth (f) Gen. 3.1 yea hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the Garden c. This was his first Temptation before he used a second thereby to perswade the Woman that either God never said so or else that God never meant so Thus the first founder of all Sacriledge began berimes to tempt our first Parents by a verbal Sacriledge to a real Sacriledge for the first sin of mankind for the particular species of the Fact was Direct Sacriledge in prophaning and usurping that which God had made holy This you may call Original Sacriledge as well as Original sin The hereditary sin of Sacriledge we all smart for ever since from Generation to Generation To this first grand Sacriledge the Devil did perswade Mankind by this other kind of Sacriledge by stealing out the Sacred Letter of God's Word and abusing it against God's own sense to his own Devilish ends therefore you may do well to take special notice of it as of a main cause of Apostasie in the end 9. With the guilt of this kind of Sacriledge were charged of old the Hereticks termed therefore by the holy Fathers 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Cyril of Alexandria terms them or Literae Sacrilegi as Arnobius translates them Thieves of the Sacred Letter The very Patriarchs of our new Scripturists that unstable and unlearned too (g) 2 Pet. 3.16 as they are yet to this day go on still treading in their Fathers black steps by wresting the holy Scriptures unto their own destruction In this the Devil 's good Scholars for you know the Devil (h) Matth. 4. had his Scriptum est even against the Son of God himself and so have his Disciples still their Scriptum est too for Rebellion Sacriledge any thing stealing away the meaning of the Text in a new way of Sacrilegious Appropriation thereof to their own Errors And this they do by quoting it amiss which is worth your notice for a warning one of these three by-ways 1. Either foysting in their own false glosses and blending these with God's own true word to the attraction of the undiscerning hearer 2. Or else by a plain omission of some of the most material words which soon alter the true sense 3. Or lastly By a cunning concealment of some such main circumstances in the Context which is Clavis Textus the Key that opens the passage into a Text which citcumstances well examined would plainly
