Knowledge were yet imperfect suitable to the Age in which he lived if he did not all of the sudden emancipate himself All these things might induce Cranmer to continue in the exercise of many Rites to which he had been long accustomed after they were softned with some Corrections and Explanations hoping at last to engage the whole Nation into an unanimous Reformation If in all these things the grounds he went on are not so sure as to warrant all he did yet in that dawn of Light a complyance upon such Considerations is not so heinous a thing but that he who was guilty of it may yet be well reckon'd among the greatest Men that have been in the Church Since the Judgments that we make of Men ought to be formed neither upon some slips they may have made on the one hand nor upon some great Actions on the other but upon the whole thread and course of their Lives And as to Cranmer there appeared in him so much Candor and Sincerity so great a contempt of the World and such a neglect of his Family such a Spirit of Gentleness and Charity both to those who differed from him and even to his Enemies such a simplicity of Spirit that he would never enter into the Intrigues and Factions of Court. Such a constant application to the finding out of Truth and such a plainness in acknowledging Mistakes and submitting himself to the Correction of others so much Humility and Modesty during one and twenty years Greatness and such an unblemished Purity as to his Personal Deportment that even the Libels of that time durst not attempt upon it All these of which I had such copious Discoveries appeared so extraordinary to me that I was not affraid to mix with them all the instances of Humane Frailty that I found in him If I had writ as most of those in the Church of Rome do that publish Lives I should have assumed the Impudence to have denied some things and to have passed over others And at least I should have suppressed a great many things that were never known before I published them But I write not for Parties or Persons I write for Truth 's Sake and so was not affraid to shew even the weak sides of our Reformers This is one of the unsearchable depths of Divine Providence to let the Man appear even when God shews himself And with how much indignation soever Mr. de Meaux rejects the consideration that I offered of S Peter's Denial to soften the Censure of Cranmer's fall yet I return to it and take the Liberty to say that considering it was in our Saviour's own Presence who had so lately warned him of it and who had parted with his Disciples in so ravishing a manner giving them such elevating Instructions and ending these with so inflaming a Prayer who was also upon the point of Offering up himself a Sacrifice for the Sins of the World And whose ill usage from his Persecutors ought in a most particular manner to have softned and melted his Disciples who saw it Besides that nothing could more betray the Reputation of our Saviour's Innocency than his being denied by one of his Disciples which lookt as if he was ashamed of him And after all that the Temptation was so weak the Accusation of a Maid and some that stood near her and that the Denial was confirmed with Oaths and Imprecations I still doubt if Cranmer's Fall is capable of so many aggravations and therefore as the meanness of Man and the greatness of God and of his Grace appeared in S. Peter's Fall and in his Repentance and his being afterwards restored to that sublime Dignity from which he had fallen so I doubt not but that God suffered Cranmer in his old Age after a long and hard Imprisonment and that he had seen some of his Brethren burnt before his Eyes to fall that so he might by his Mighty Power raise him again and in him teach us to cease from Man for wherein is he to be accounted of and that such as glory might glory in the Lord and not in Man. As for the difference that is alledged as to the Time that the one was but for a moment and that the other lasted longer it is to be consider'd that our Saviour lookt presently at Saint Peter and the Authority of that look together with the Divine Vertue that might accompany it and the Crowing of the Cock were such extraordinary Motives that it had been a wonder indeed if Saint Peter had resisted them and we may Charitably believe that if Cranmer had been blessed with such awakening Motives he had likewise Repented sooner than he did So that upon the whole matter I do not see any one Action in all Cranmer's Life unless it be his consenting to the Divorce of Anne of Cleve in which it does not appear that he adhered strictly to a Principle of Conscience tho' it is a question if that Principle was always well measured or not But that is nothing to the probity of the man so long as he adheres to that which he thinks right And even in that of Anne of Cleve as it was the body of the Popish Clergy that did it so that his part was only a giving a too feeble consent so he believing that Marriage was no Sacrament might think it subject to Political Regulations especially when it was not consummated so that the rights of Nature did not seem concerned Whether this is to be defended or not I will not determine But certainly this is not so odious a matter as Mr. de Meaux would make it appear to be And for his dissolving the Marriage of Anne Bullen the Record of that Sentence is lost so that we do not know what it was that she confessed and therefore here Mr. de Meaux studies to defame Cranmer upon conjecture and yet I suppose that he himself would think that he met with hard measure if he were censured much less condemned upon Reports Presumptions or Conjectures As for all the good Characters that Mr. de Meaux gives of our Sinods I shall only crave leave to tell him that if one would examine not only the Councils of Trent and Florence or to go a little higher the second Council of Nice and some antienter Assemblies as he has done ours they would find not only Intrigues Weaknesses and Passions but down right Impostures in them In short it has appeared that Man was Man even in the best Ages and in the most Celebrated Assemblies of the Church and I will not stick to own it freely that if I had not a great Veneration for the first four General Councils for the sake of the Truths that they decreed I should never pay them much when I consider their Method of Proceeding which appears but too evidently to those who have read the Journals of the third and fourth and if we Judge of the first by the mutual Complaints which they exhibited to Constantine and
