BY THE Singular Grace and Wonder-working Providence of Almighty God of England Scotland France and Ireland KING Defender of the true Christian Faith and Supreme Governor over all Ecclesiastical Persons as well as Temporal throughout his Dominions Most Gracious Soveraign I Humbly crave license to prostrate at your Royal feet a learned Disputation of the famous Bohemian Martyr John Hus in defence of our renowned John Wickliffs 17. Article largely evidencing the Supream Authority of Christian Kings and Temporal Lords over the Temporalties and Persons of Delinquent Prelates and Churchmen backed with an Additional Appendix hastily compiled in the midst of my other distracting publike Imployments in few hours space not unseasonable or unworthy publike Consideration in relation to ancient and late alienations of Abbots Bishops Cathedral lands now under your Majesties and your Parliaments Deliberation in order to their Purchasers satisfaction for the prevention of future Animosities suits establishment of Cordial Unity Amity between all Your Subjects after their many years sad Intestine bloudy Schisms and Discords The sole Occasion of this Publication was the many late Petitions of Purchasers and others complaining of some Bishops Churchmens covetousness or averseness to give them such competent satisfaction for their Purchases by new Leases or otherwise as Your Majesties Royal Declarations the Commons-House Votes and Your Noble Generals Engagements in order to Your Highnesse most joyfull peaceable Restitution to Your Throne induced them to expect and of their violent or vexatious proceedings contrary to Your

account Non Equitando sed pedibus ambulando verbum Dei instantissime praedicabant Tota tunc fuit sollicitudo Doctoribus illis Deo servire non seculo tota cura cordis excolendi non ventris Nulla causa fuit sacerdotibus Dei vicos adeundi nisi ut praedicarent vel baptizarent vel animas curarent Cuncta quae sibi à Regibus vel divitibus seculi donabantur mox pauperibus qui occurrerent erogate gaudebant In tantum erant ab omni peste Avaritiae castigati ut nemo territoria vel possessiones ad construenda Monasteria à potestatibus seculi nisi coactus acceperet All their Oblations and revenues were equally divided into 4. parts The 1. for the sustentation of the Bishop and his family not in a pompous Lordly splendor but sober and Christian hospitality The 2. for the maintenance of his Clergy or Chapter The 3. for the relief of the Poor The 4. for the repair of Churches and if any surplusage remained it was bestowed in alms and other pious uses not spent in Luxury or worldly pomp No part of it was treasured up in the Bishops own purse to enrich himself or Leased to or bestowed on his wife children kenred servants or Courtiers as in later ages as real Sacrilege as any now declaimed against Their Angelical and Evangelical Conversations purchased them such veneration and high esteem among all sorts of people Ut ubicunque Clericus aliquis adveniret gaudentèr ab omnibus tanquam Dei famulus exciperetur Etiam si in itinere pergens inveniretur occurrebant flexa cervice vel manu signari vel ore illius se benedici gaudebant verbis quoque horum exhortatoriis diligenter auditum praebebant Et si quis Sacerdotum in vicum fortè deveniret mox congregati in unum vicani Uerbum vitae ab illo expetere et operibus implere curabant Such an Episcopal life as these then led in our Bishops and Clergy now without future contests which of them shall be the Greatest Richest Highest but best holyest humblest would speedily reconcile both them their Purchasors and Opponents yea produce such a reverend estimation and entertainment of their Persons and Ministry in the Laity as Your Majesty by your most pious Declarations Proclamations Speeches and unwearied Endeavours have exhorted and conjured them unto that so all your Subjects may henceforth live a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honesty under Your most just and gracious Government Which as it ought to be their daily prayer so it is their bounden duty and will be the only means of their future felicity Let those everlasting Arms of the Eternal God riding upon the heavens for Your help which have so miraculously protected supported restored Your Royal Majesty to Your Kingdoms and thrust out the Enemy from before You without sword or spear for ever embrace defend
