Hundret nor bring any Ecclesiastical cause to the Judgment of Secular men Therefore William the Conquerour the Popes Champion brought with him this new distinction of Clergy and Layty and Ecclesiastical Judges and Secular Judges for it seems Ecclesiastical Causes as well as Secular were brought in the Hundret Court to the Judgment of Secular men not Ecclesiastical men 5. The said Proclamation ordains every man to do right to God and the Bishop not according to the Hundred but according to the Canons and Episcopal Laws Which answers the greatest Stress of the D. D. Answer The Conquerour with the Pope brought in the Canons and Episcopal Laws and when the Pope's head was cut off and his Supremacy taken away vanish also did his Canons and Episcopal Laws And the Popish King and Parliament in Hen. 8. time knew it as well and therefore when they had made the King Head of the Church as well as State a fatal distinction of Church and State and often makes a Kingdom divided against its self cutting off all Appeals to Rome 24 H. 12. in the very next year they found a necessity to abrogate all Popish Canons that were contrariant to the Kings Prerogative and the Laws and Statutes of this Realm but such as were not so contrariant and repugnant to remain in force And to that purpose there was to be a Book of such Canons compiled by thirty two Commissioners party per pale one moyety Clergy and the other Lay but they did nothing and so that project in the Statute came to nothing And for my part in the Knowledge I have in the ancient Councils and Canon's in the making whereof the Pope had the great hand they might as well seek a needle in a bottle of Hay as seek for Canons amongst the old ones suitable to the new face of our Church when it had lost its old wonted head that had Authorized and Father'd the English Church and all Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction from William the Conquerour till 24 Henry 8. which was 467 long years and during the weary Reigns of twenty Kings together who were so tyred with the Pope's Insolence that some of them as King John meditated rather to turn Turk than undergo the Infamy as well as Tyranny and Cruelty in being all his Reign so shamefully Priest-ridden complaining and bemoaning himself that after he subjugated himself and his Scepter to the Pope of Rome nothing prosper'd that he undertook ever after Therefore hard is the fate of that Man much more of that King and Kingdom that are under the Tyranny of these Bigots How do they wrest the holy Scriptures to surrogate their preposterous Hierarchy as did the said Popham Archbishop in his said Letter to the King Edw. 1. aforementioned quoting Mat. 16.19 Whatsoe're thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven and threatning the King with death from Deut. 17.12 And the man that shall do presumptuously and will not hearken unto the Priest that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God or unto the Judge even that man shall dye Then he threatens the King with Deut. 17.18 19 20. and with Luk. 10.16 He that heareth you heareth me and he that despiseth you despiseth me And he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me which saith the Archbishop St. Dyonisius expounds Ierarchis in his quae agant Ierarchicè obediendum est sicut a Deo motis To the Hierarchy or Prelates in what they act as Prelates we ought to obey them as those that are influenc't by God himself Then he quotes Deut. 17.8 9 10 11. and Heb. 4. and Mat. 17.5 Mat. 28.20 Acts 3.22 Mat. 18.19 20. Mat. 18.17 Mat. 10.20 as Impertinent as tedious to insist upon concluding his Letter in a menacing way from Lambeth November Anno Dommi 1281. and the third year of his Translation Instancing also for his Platform and imitation in this his contumacy the example of Thomas Becket and Boniface his Predecessors as fierce and Seditious as himself But wise King Edw. 1. like his Grandfather Hen. 2. and his Father Hen. 3. would not so easily part with the Reins of Government for he disanulled not only the Rading-Canons as aforesaid but also the Lambeth-Canons Anno 1281. Even as his Grandfather Hen. 2. abrogated all the Canon Law being then Duke of Normandy and particularly the Canons of the late Councel of Rhemes And by Proclamation forbidding Hugo Archbishop of Roan to put the same in Execution and threatning Pope Innocent 2. that if he would not restrain the said Archbishop therein he would turn Protestant so I translate the words of the Kings letter to Pope Innocent Minatus est Apertè divortium ab Apostolicâ sede nisi praesumptio illius Archiepiscopi reprimeretur Which so frighted the Pope that he was glad to knock under and yield to the time foreseeing a Storm approaching he very wisely made fair weather on 't to use his own words Quod prefectò quamvis Justum fuerit Mat. Paris Hist Aug. p. 96 97. à nobis in Concilio Rhemensi mandatum pro ejus tamen charitate aliquando condescendere quando non ascendere possumus debemus et pro tempore ipsius voluntati assensum praebere That is saith the Pope What was done in the Councel of Rhemes was nothing but what was Just and right and also by us Commanded nevertheless for charity sake we must be lowly and condescend then when we cannot climb and ascend and be uppermost and for the present give our assent and consent to the Kings will and pleasure And there had been a fatal divorce or beginning of Protestanism from Rome by another Henry Hen. 2. long before Hen. 8. if Pope Innocent had been as stiff and inflexible as was Pope Clement to Hen. 8. So that all along those that please to observe our Statutes Histories and Chronicles they will find that ever since our Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction was brought from France and Rome by William the Conquerour sometimes the Church-men and their head the Pope had the weather-gage and sometimes the Kings as they hapned to be some more prudent some more weak some more potent and some in greater straits than other of which last condition namely when our Kings affairs were in a Peck of troubles and distresses the Pope and his Janizaries the Popish Prelates alwaies wrought upon their necessities and most unmanly would never give them fair quarter when they had them down None so cruel as Women and cowardly Gownmen when they get men at advantage many Instances whereof you may see in the reigns of King John the King Henries and the King Edwards c. So that now Canon-Law now Statute-Law now the Church and now the State now the Lord Arch-bishops and Lord Bishops and now the Lords temporal and the Common's had the upper-hand but the Bishops carryed it for the most part and alwaies at long run whilest they had the Pope or the High-Commission on their side And even since they

the Name being the first Arch-bishop that wheedled himself into the estate of the deceased that died Intestate or that gave Letters of Administration in England and yet this deep-read Arch-Deacon makes the common Law depose and Justify their proceedings in Spiritual Courts Pretending that since the Poor Soul died without a Will and so Consequently had not taken care to Redeem his Soul out of Purgatory by giving the Priests his Goods Mony or Lands for so many Masses to that purpose therefore the Archbishop Piously took that care upon him yet he himself hapned to dye though not Intestate yet so suddenly for two judgments in Parliament against him namely the aforesaid and presently after for endeavouring to defraud the King of Three-hundred pounds of Money belonging to one Bonamy a banish't Jew and which he would have been fingering for himself knowing that the Money lay in the Priory of Bridlington within his Jurisdiction Broke his heart his Executors would not or durst not meddle with his Goods Executores enim sui se intromittere noluerunt Ibid ita quod non proprio sed potius alieno fiebant expensae funerum in ecclesia sua cum honore simplici repositus est non enim panis vel obolus pro anima ipsus dabatur unde justo dei Judicio contigit ut qui subditorum bona maxime ab Intestatis sitiret subita quasi morte praeventus nullum vel modicum ex Testamento suo proprio consecutus est Emolumentum That is saith Henry De Knighton His Executors would not meddle with the Execution of his Will so that his Funeral expences were defrayed out of other Men's rather than his own Estate he was buried in his own Church after a very homely manner for not a bit of bread was given to the poor nor one farthing to pray for his Soul by the just Judgment of God upon him that he that did so thirst after Intestates Estates especially dying in his province being prevented by a sudden death got none or very little benefit by his own last Will and Testament The second Instance shall be in Scotland for King Edward the first was King thereof at least by conquest King Edward the Conquerour of Scotland when the Bishop of Glasgow having a spight and a pique against a Minister of his Diocess Deprived him of his Living Tortiously and Arbitrarily whereupon King Edward the first by his Letters to his Lieuetenant or Guardian of Scotland restor'd him upon the Petition of John Comyn in these words Al Tres honorable prince e noble In Bundel Brevi●…n petic in Tur.

't is too tedious further to recite The last Instance is a Record of a Fine set upon the Bishop of Cork in Ireland for holding Plea in the Spiritual Courts of things belonging to the King's Crown and Dignity for which he was amerced 140. l.

And 't is observable this great Fine was set by an Arch-Bishop of Tuam then the Kings Lord-Chief-Justice in Ireland For indeed in those dayes The Clergy were the greatest Lawyers and had the greatest places Bak. Chron p. 50. and yet they would not suffer any Clergy-Man to be subject to temporal Magistrates by a Canon made B. Steph. in a Synod held at London by Henry Bishop of winchester the Pope's Legate 'T is true King Henry the Second opposed this Canon and Thomas Becket Arch-Bishop of Canterbury that stood up for it and the Contest almost ruined them both But no King like King Henry the Eighth Bak.
