A10177 A briefe suruay and censure of Mr Cozens his couzening deuotions Prouing both the forme and matter of Mr Cozens his booke of priuate deuotions, or the houres of prayer, lately published, to be meerely popish: to differ from the priuate prayers authorized by Queene Elizabeth 1560. to be transcribed out of popish authors, with which they are here paralelled: and to be scandalous and preiudiciall to our Church, and aduantagious onely to the Church of Rome.

his_o popery_n and_o to_o harbour_v it_o under_o her_o protection_n this_o be_v most_o clear_a and_o evident_a first_o from_o the_o title_n second_o from_o the_o preface_n of_o the_o book_n for_o

prayer_n as_o they_o be_v after_o this_o manner_n publish_v by_o authority_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n 1560._o say_v the_o first_o and_o second_o but_o as_o they_o be_v much_o after_o this_o manner_n publish_v by_o authority_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n 1560._o say_v the_o three_o impression_n take_v out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n the_o ancient_a father_n and_o the_o divine_a service_n of_o our_o own_o church_n in_o which_o he_o affirm_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o these_o private_a devotion_n and_o hour_n of_o prayer_n be_v no_o new_a devotion_n of_o his_o own_o compose_n but_o only_o a_o reviuall_n or_o new_a impression_n of_o those_o private_a prayer_n and_o devotion_n as_o be_v former_o publish_v by_o queen_n elizabeth_n in_o the_o year_n 1560._o and_o so_o do_v most_o man_n take_v they_o to_o be_v at_o first_o till_o they_o have_v better_o sift_v and_o examine_v they_o second_o that_o the_o mater_fw-la of_o these_o devotion_n be_v publish_v by_o the_o approbation_n

most_o probable_a because_o his_o aprobation_n show_v as_o much_o yet_o i_o will_v willing_o learn_v thus_o much_o whether_o this_o print_a copy_n differ_v not_o from_o the_o write_a one_o which_o

for_o i_o own_o part_n i_o can_v but_o suspect_v that_o most_o of_o the_o popery_n that_o be_v broach_v and_o couch_v in_o this_o book_n be_v foist_v in_o at_o the_o press_n without_o my_o lord_n of_o london_n privity_n and_o the_o more_o jealous_a be_o i_o of_o this_o because_o the_o printer_n have_v his_o write_a copy_n but_o by_o piecemeal_o sheet_n by_o sheet_n and_o not_o complete_a together_o because_o the_o write_a copy_n be_v take_v from_o the_o printer_n as_o he_o print_v it_o by_o the_o author_n against_o the_o usual_a course_n and_o because_o there_o be_v sundry_a leaf_n reprint_v and_o alter_v at_o the_o press_n by_o the_o author_n bare_a direction_n who_o have_v likewise_o late_o make_v some_o alteration_n in_o our_o common_a prayer_n book_n by_o what_o authority_n i_o know_v not_o so_o that_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a that_o our_o author_n have_v exceed_v and_o abuse_v not_o follow_v his_o authority_n which_o make_v his_o crime_n the_o great_a so_o that_o this_o first_o excuse_n and_o plea_n do_v only_o aggravate_v not_o lessen_v or_o abate_v his_o fault_n 2._o our_o author_n second_o excuse_n be_v this_o that_o these_o private_a devotion_n of_o his_o be_v compile_v for_o the_o private_a use_n of_o a_o well-disposed_a friend_n without_o any_o meaning_n to_o make_v the_o same_o public_a to_o the_o world_n though_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o they_o by_o leave_n and_o warrant_v of_o the_o ordinary_a be_v print_v at_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o party_n for_o who_o only_a use_n the_o same_o be_v collect_v to_o save_v the_o labour_n and_o trouble_v of_o write_v copy_n to_o be_v spare_o communicate_v to_o some_o few_o friend_n they_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o author_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o reader_n in_o the_o last_o edition_n which_o be_v but_o shroud_v under_o the_o printer_n name_n when_o as_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v the_o author_n own_o as_o the_o printer_n have_v in_o part_n confess_v these_o devotion_n therefore_o be_v print_v but_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o some_o private_a friend_n without_o any_o intennt_n to_o make_v they_o public_a may_v seem_v to_o mitigate_v if_o not_o excuse_v the_o author_n guilt_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o this_o underhand_o print_v and_o spread_v of_o these_o devotion_n among_o some_o private_a friend_n be_v a_o violent_a and_o strong_a presumption_n that_o the_o author_n be_v conscious_a to_o himself_o that_o they_o be_v fraught_v with_o popish_a trash_n if_o they_o be_v the_o private_a prayer_n publish_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o queen_n e●izabeth_n as_o his_o title_n page_n and_o preface_n do_v surmise_v 232_o or_o if_o they_o be_v orthodox_n or_o fit_a to_o further_o and_o increase_v devotion_n why_o shall_v he_o thus_o conceal_v they_o from_o the_o world_n and_o imprison_v they_o in_o the_o hand_n and_o closert_n of_o some_o few_o private_a friend_n since_o 3._o truth_n desire_v to_o be_v public_a &_o seek_v no_o corner_n for_o to_o hide_v herself_o if_o they_o be_v popish_a and_o corrupt_a why_o then_o be_v they_o print_v and_o disperse_v spare_o among_o some_o private_a friend_n or_o why_o be_v they_o pen_v and_o collect_v why_o be_v they_o print_v or_o disperse_v at_o all_o second_o this_o close_a and_o secret_a scatter_n of_o these_o popish_a devotion_n be_v ten_o time_n more_o dangerous_a and_o infectious_a than_o the_o open_a publish_n of_o they_o to_o the_o world_n at_o first_o because_o it_o find_v the_o least_o opposition_n and_o so_o perhaps_o seduce_v many_o before_o it_o be_v discover_v 32_o as_o a_o conceal_a enemy_n or_o fire_n in_o a_o close_a obscure_a building_n which_o be_v not_o obvious_a unto_o all_o man_n sight_n be_v most_o pernicious_a and_o inevitable_a so_o popish_a pamphlet_n which_o pass_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n and_o be_v scatter_v up_o and_o down_o in_o private_a be_v most_o seduce_a and_o infectious_a because_o they_o pass_v without_o discovery_n and_o control_v whereas_o they_o will_v quick_o be_v descry_v and_o so_o either_o answer_v or_o suppress_v before_o they_o can_v entrap_v infect_v or_o poison_v any_o be_v they_o but_o obvious_a unto_o all_o man_n view_n and_o censure_n at_o the_o first_o so_o that_o our_o author_n underhand_o communicate_v of_o his_o 3.19.20_o popery_n do_v aggravate_v his_o fault_n and_o make_v his_o deal_n more_o suspicious_a c_o because_o they_o shun_v and_o fly_v the_o light_n as_o all_o evil_a work_n and_o worker_n do_v three_o i_o will_v demand_v what_o private_a friend_n that_o be_v for_o who_o use_n these_o private_a devotion_n be_v compile_v who_o will_v be_v at_o so_o much_o cost_n and_o charge_n as_o to_o print_v such_o popish_a trash_n as_o this_o be_v this_o private_a friend_n a_o papist_n or_o a_o protestant_n if_o a_o papist_n as_o i_o dare_v presume_v it_o be_v then_o questionless_a these_o devotion_n which_o be_v compose_v for_o the_o benefit_n and_o use_v of_o papist_n must_v needs_o be_v popish_a if_o a_o protestant_n then_o doubtless_o it_o be_v such_o a_o one_o who_o our_o author_n will_v persuade_v to_o become_v a_o roman_a proselyte_n yea_o to_o enter_v into_o popish_a order_n to_o which_o these_o hour_n of_o prayer_n only_a suit_n else_o he_o will_v never_o have_v take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o compose_v these_o canonical_a and_o popish_a devotion_n for_o his_o private_a use_n which_o protestant_n do_v disclaim_v it_o be_v well_o therefore_o if_o this_o our_o author_n friend_n be_v inquire_v after_o that_o so_o we_o may_v proverb_n know_v his_o religion_n by_o his_o friend_n which_o be_v in_o part_n discover_v
