C. pretends the establishment of the Ecclesiasticks in the Queens home to belong unto the King of France The first is That the King of great Brittaine hath not power because as he saith He is an Heretike Which ground is false NOTE because the King of great Brittaine neither by Councell nationall not generall nor by any Act authentick or legall of Prelates having authority to doe the same hath been defined or declared such besides heresie deprives no man of his temporall right such as is the collation of temporall Beneâ—tees giving of domesticall charges and offices yea no Prelate of the Greeke Church living under the Turke can exercise his function but with civill dependance and approbation of that Prince The second Principle it That all established by the King of great Brittaine's authority are by him threatned to be forthwith by the Pope declared Apostates NOTE In answer whereof it is evident that such royall establishment is neither Heresie nor Apostacy and when the Pope should undertake such a matter he should grosly abuse his authority against the Commons and Common law of the Church yea Ecclesiasticks by the King will and may by Catholike lawes and right defend their establishment to be good as the contrary to be erroneous to wit to seek to deprive our King of his right and aâ—thority therein SUpposed that the King of great Brittaine for avoiding for greater inconvenienceâ— condescendeth to the reception of some French in the Queens house at the instance of the King of France or choyce of the Queen of England some conditions are necessarily to be observed First that albeit salvo jure proprâ—o Regis magnae Britanniae the choice be in the Queen of England yet the confirmation and approbation of all and every one be in the King of great Brittaine according to the last clause of the eleventh Article of the Treaty Secondly that concerning the French Bishops and Priests sent into England by the Popes authority two things are to be considered the first is the spirituals power Catholike Religion and Jurisdiction as well in the head as members the second is the exaltation of the Popes temporall power in prejudice of the Kings sovereigue authority
under pretext of Catholike Religion by obtruding as matter of faith the Popes power for deposition of Princes Howbeit then the King of great Brittaine permitteth the full exercise of Catholike Religion and spirituall power to the Queens Clergy and Catholike domestiques notwithstanding the laws and statutes made to the contrary in this Realme since Henry the eighth so is it necessary for the preservation of his soveraigne authority and peace of his State that he prevents the intrusion of the Popes temporall power under pretext of Religion in prejudice of his owne which he may in this concurrence most conveniently doe by using the same remedies against these French Ecclesiasticks and Domestiks which the State of France but particularly the Parliament and University of Paris assembled in their Colledge of Sorbon procured against the Jesuits this same yeere 1626. the one by arrest the 17 of March this yeer 1626. the other by censure of the first of Aprill 1626. in condemning the perâ—itious doctrine of Santarelli Jesuit for deposition of Princes â—s false erroneous new contrary to the Word of God derogating from the authority of Princes provoking to Factions Rebellions Seditions and murders of Princes and constraining sixteen principall Jesuits as Mercury relates to subscribe to the said arrest of the 17. of March 1626. with promise to subscribe to the censure of the Sorbon which should afterwards be made in which their subscription they dis-avowed and detested the foresaid damnable doctrine of Santarellus their compainon According to which may it please the King to compell all these Ecclesiastiques of the Queens house to subscribe to the foresaid arrest and censure disadvow and detest the foresaid new doctrine as new false erronious contrary to the Word of God and as their Parliament of Paris and Sorbon hath defined which if they refuse to doe it is most evident that it is not the preservation of the Queen in the Catholike Religion not the exercise of spirituall power and true piety that they intend but under this pretext an introduction of popish domination in prejudice of the Kings authority NOTE an insertion of venomous plants of â—actions and Seditions and why should they refuse the doctrine and practise of their own State whereby the King shaâ—l effectnate two principall works the one that his soveraigne authority with exclusion of the Popes pretended power in temporals intended in the Oath of Alleagiance shall be to his Subjects manifestly approved and consumed by the doctrine and practice of the State of Frâ—â—ce the other is that whereas the Pope by meanes of the Queenâ— house aymed at the establishment of his temporall power and greatnesse in this Kingdome as is manifest by the doctrine and practice of the Bishops and English Priests since the marriage and consequently made a Kingdome a part within this Realme NOTE by the subscription and disadvow of their Ecclesiasticks of this damnable doctrine the cleane contrary will follow that in example of the Queens house all English Catholiques will conforme themselves in doctrine and practice and in this point the King shall receive full duty and obedience of his Catholike Subjects and the Pope shall be content with his spirituall power limited as in France for the Queens house so long as it shall please the King to permit it That the Bishop of Mâ—rdes and all Bishops sent into England from the Pope have their Buls papaleâ— expresly prohibited by the lawes and rights of this Realme it is maniâ—est By these papers you may plainly discerne the dangerousnesse of these Romish Agents their high and bold attempts against his Majesties Preâ—ogative royall and the safety of his person and their policies by which presently upon the marriage 〈◊〉 endeavoured to set up the Popes both Ecclesiasticall and Temporall jurisdiction to oververtop the Kings How this controversie was ended I have no certaine intelligencâ— As â—or other Priests and Jesuits you have already seen what Proclamations were published against them between and during the two Sessions of Parliament in the yeerâ— 1628 by reason of the frequent complaints of the Commons and for the forenamed ends Vpon which Proclamations divers Priests and Jesuits were apprehended and some Râ—cusâ—nts indâ—â—ed by Officers and Justices of peace well affected to our Religiâ—n but how notwithstanding all these Proclamations royall promises Priests and Jesuits were released from time to time by warrants sometimes under his Majesties owne hand sometimes under the hands of his privy

This war was no sooner resolved on by the King by the Archbishop and his confederations instigations but the Popes Nuncio with the Priests Iesuits and Roman Catholicks of England and Wales all privy to the plot assembled together in a kind of Parliament or generall Counsell of State at London in Aprill 1639.

That the Colledge of Capuchines at Somerset House may be dissolved and sent out of the Kingdom these two last mentioned concerning the Queene Priests Iesuites and Capuchines for these particular reasons 1. Publike danger and scandall of this Kingdome and peace of the Kingdome 2. Dis-affection of some of those wicked conspirators is expressed in two Letters which Letters were here read openly 3. A particular Letter of Father Philips there also read 4. Because of the Priests Iesuites and the Colledge there are diverse great quantities of gold transported frequently 4. The fourth particular that concerneth the Queen is upon speciall occasion of his Majesties absence That their Lordships will bee pleased to joyne with us to advise the King that some of the Nobility and others of qualitie with competent â—uardes may be appointed to attend the Queens person against all designes of Papists and of ill affected persons and of restraining resort thither in his absence 5. The fifth Head concerneth the Kings Children that some persons of publike trust and well affected in Religion might be placed about the Prince who may take care of his education and the rest of his Children especially in matters of Religion and liberty 6. The sixth Head concerned such as come into the Kingdom with Titles OF BEING THE POPES NUNCIO that it may bee declared that if any man come with instructions into this Kingdome from the Pope of Rome he shall be in case of high Treason NOTE out of the Kings Protection and out of the protection of the Law And there is notice upon very good grounds that Count ROSSETI The Popes Nuncio doth yet continue in the Kingdome AND YET RESORTS UNTO THE COURT notwithstanding the Kings former Promise to the Houses to send him hence A little after Father Philips the Queenes Confessor writ a very Seditious Diurnall Occurrences p. 160 c.

to the Duke then staying at Paris and May 29. he sent other letters to him by the hands of the Bishop of Durham to be delivered to him at his first arrivall in England Iune 5. this Bishop received

drawne to such an unworthy action resolving rather to sinke then stirre therein Whereupon Captaine Pennington acquainted his Majesty and the Duke of Buckingham by Letters with this their peremptory resolution and desires their direction herein the King I know not by whose ill advice returns him this answer both by word of mouth and this ensuing Warrant the copy whereof was found among Windebankes and the Lord Cottingtons Papers CHARLES R. Pennington THese are to charge and require you immediately upon sight hereof that without all difficulty and delay you put Our former commandement in execution for the consigning of the Ship under your charge called the Vaunt-guard into the hands of the Marquesse de Effort with all her Equipage Artillery and Ammunition assuring the Officers of the said Ship whom it may concerne that we will provide for their indemnity and We further charge and command you that you also require the seven Merchants Ships in Our name to put themselves into the service of Our deare Brother the French King according to the promise made unto him and in case of backwardnesse or refusall We command you to use all forcible meanes in your power to compell them thereunto even to their sinking NOTE and in these severall charges see you faile not as you will answer the contrary at your utmost perill and this shall be your sufficient Warrant Given as Our Court at Richmond the 28. of Iuly 1625. To Our Trusty and welbeloved John Pennington Captaine of Our Ship called the Vaunt-guard Upon receit of this Warrant Captaine Pennington as I have been certainly informed from very credible persons of note privy to the transactions of this businesse threatned to shoot and sinke the Ships and hang up the Mariners that refused to yeeld obedience and serve against Rochell but they all unanimously declined the service bidding him doe his pleasure with them for goe against the Rochelers they would never but if they were commanded upon any other service not against the Protestants they would obey Whereupon those who refused to serve in this expedition were commanded to quit the Ships and returne into England which all did but two who soone after came to desperate ends the one being blowne up with Gun-powder the the other drowned or slaine Upon this the English Ships were according to this direction delivered to the French manned with French-men and other Forreigners and joyning with some more Vessels of the French King destroyed the Rochell Fleet blocked up their Haven ruined that famous Protestant City with most of the Protestants in it which after a long and sharp siege by sea and land was through famine surrendred into the Papist hands the losse whereof was generally if not justly imputed to our ill Counsellers who after they had been instruments to destroy their Ships the principall meanes of their safety support and preservation by an unfortunate voyage of the Duke of Buckingham to the Isle of Ree to what end but to ruine Rochell and the Protestant party in France or to revenge the disappointment of his lust as many muttered is yet unknowne to the world exhausted their Ammunition Victuals provisions men to supply our necessities at Ree and after our departure thence left our sick and maiâ—ed souldiers there to help devoure the residue of their emptied stores and then suffered them to be totally blocked up at sea when we had thus engaged them on our behalfe neglecting to send them timely supplies of Victuall Ammunition shipping men which was strangely delaid from time to time contrary to promise and when our ships went at last they gave over the designe of relieving is as desperate before ever they assayed whether it was feasible 〈◊〉 Master Henry now Lord Iermin and some others in that unfortunate expedition informed me and then making onely a Bravado towards the Barracado as if they meant to force it with their fireships and engines made with great stones brought to London to repaire Pauls so unlikely to do any good service for Rochell they discharged their Ordnance very valiantly above a league or two from the Workes they were to force and without adventuring neerer or attempting to force the Barre returned presently with infinite dishonour for England leaving all their fireships and Engines in them to the French in a most unwarlike manner but in their returne homewards many of these Ships were wrecked drowned in a tempest who would not adventure sinking in a fight and the whole Navy shattered Soon after which poor Rochell thus deferred and betraid was surrendred into the French Kings Cardinals possession and all the Protestant Towns in France surprized yeeded pillaged dismantled so as they have since no Town or Fort of strength to retire unto to preserve themselves from the force or massacres of their bloody Adversaries to whose mercilesse cruelties they are now wholly exposed upon all occasions by our means I pray God this 〈◊〉 against them and the blood of those many thousand Protestants then shed in France by our occasion be not one principall cause why God by way of retaliation hath permitted the Papists in Ireland and England to shed so much Protestant blood in these Realmes as they have done of late lot our refusing or neglecting to avenge their blood upon those romanized Conspirators who were the occasion of this their irreperable losse and bloodshed But to returne home againe from this deplorable action the second Parliament in King Charles his Reigne being dissolved sodainly in disgusts as you have heard there was a desperate plot laid to blow up our Religion Liberties Properties all at once by the Jesuiâ—â—call Arminian and Prelatical Faction To effect this they set on foot an enforced Loane or Benevolence to the King to which every man must be summoned and compelled to lend mony according to his ability to which end there were Commissions and Instructions together with speciall Commissioners senc into every County to summon all Free-holders and men of estate to lend what the Commissioners should asseâ—â—e them and to prepare the people the better to contribute Doctor Manwaing preached two Sermons before the King and his Court at White-hall and Doctor Sibthorpe another Sermon at the Assisâ—â—at Northampton by the now Arch-bishop of Canterbury his instigation who perused and caused these Sermons to be printed by the Kings speciall Command with some additions and purgations of his owne to preach the people out of their just rights in point of Conscience and the Judges were likewise enjoyed in their charges and circuits to declare the legallity of them and so inthrall the Subjects to this and all other arbitrary taxes in poynt of Law And that this malevolent enforced Benevolence might passe more currently and plausibly among the people the aiding of our Protestant Allies in Germany Denmarke France and particularly the reliefe of Rochell then besieged against the Papists and their potent enemies was made the principall end thereof and a Parliament was promised to be

The Commons were informed of the Queenes intention to passe beyond the Seas under pretence of going to the Spaw for her health and carrying over the Lady Mary into Holland Whereupon the Houses being jealous of some ill designes to be acted by her against the Realme in Forraigne parts appointed a speciall Committee of both Houses to attend His Majesty and the Queen at White-hall and to present them with reasons against their intended journey which they accordingly presented to the King the 15th of Iuly and the next day to the Queen her Selfe The Reasons were these 1. There is a great cause to doubt least the Papists have some designe upon her Majesties journey Note because the House hath been informed that divers of them have sold off their Lands to a good value and used other means to get ready money 2ly It is observed some of them have been very diligent gathering great quantities of gold 3ly It is informed that more than an ordinary number of Papists are gone beyond Sea already and those of the better sort 2. The great number of English fugitives now beyond the Seas who by their late designes and practises are knowne to be full of malice to the State and will no doubt seeke all opportunities of accesse to her Majestie and as much as they can labour to infuse into her Majesty such evill Councells as may trouble the peace of the Kingdome whereof at this time there is more danger because the affaires of the Kingdome are not yet fully setled and upon disbanding of the Army all parts will abound with Souldiers and such others as will bee apt to be provoked to tumults and seditions and especially in the time of the Kings absence in Scotland 3. That the House of Commons have received information of great quantity of treasure in Iewells Note Plate and ready mony packt up to bee conveyed away with the Queene not only in such a proportion as the present occasions with due respect to her Majesties honour may seeme to require but a farre greater quantity and that diverse Papists and others under pretence of Her Majesties goods are like to convey great summes of monyes and other treasure beyond the Seas which will not onely impoverish the State but may bee imployed to the fomenting of some mischievous attempts to the trouble of the publike peace 4. That as it will be great dishonour to the State if Her Majestie should not bee attended and furnished sutably to her quality so it will be a very heavy burden in this time of great necessity and occasions of other publike charges if she should be provided in so royall a manner as shall be fit for her Majesty and the Honour of the King and Kingdome 5. That because we understand by Sir Theodore Mayern that the chiefe cause of her Majesties siâ—knesse and distempers proceed from some discontent of her mind The House of Commons have thought good to Declare That if any thing within the power of Parliament may give Her Majesty contentment they are so tender of her health both in due respect to His most Excellent Majesty and Her Selfe that they will be ready to further Her satisfaction in all things so far as may stand with that Publike to which they are obliged 6. That the Commons conceive it will be some dishonoâ—r to this Nation if Her Majesty should at this unseasonable time go out of the Kingdome upon any griefe or discontent received here And therefore we shall labour by all good meanes to take away and prevent
all just occasions of Her Majesties trâ—uble in such manner as may further Her content and therein Her health which will be a very great comfort and joy to our selves and the rest of His Majesties loving Subjects But notwithstanding all these Reasons the Queen though she seemed satisfied for the present continued in Her resolution * See the Breviate of the Archbishops life p. 25. and on Febr. 11th following went from Greenwich towards Dover and from thence into Holland with Her Daughter the Princesse Mary What ill offices she did there against the Parliament Kingdome by furnishing the King with Monyes Ammunition Armes Horse Men and Commanders to raise and carry on a civill War against the Parliament and His Protestant Subjects Selling and Pawning the Iewels of the Crown c is so well knowne I shall not relate it and what ill offices of like nature she is now like to do against them in France upon Her late Voyage thither time will ere long more fully discover Before the Queens first departure hence * Diurnall Occurrences p. 310. 339. in Iuly 21. 1641. There was a Petition read in the Commons House in behalfe of the Lay-Papists of England wherein they made Protestation of their fidelity to the Crowne and Kingdome and desired a mittigation of the severity of the Lawes against them but nothing was done therein August 12. 1641. The Queen Mother who had formerly desired a Gard to secure her against the feared tumults of the people and that being denyed supplies of money to transport her hence departed from White-hall towards Italy her Native Countrey attended by the Earle of Arundell and his Lady who never returned since * Ibid. p. 351. 〈◊〉 364. After this upon the 28. 30. and 31 of August and in September following upon the disbanding of the Irish Army the Spanish Ambassadour moved the King for foure thousand of the Irish to serve his Master which the King condiscended too and engaged himselfe by promise to grant But the Lords and Commons upon serious debate considering the evill consequences of it and fearing some dangerous design against the State and our Religion to be couched under it denyed to condiscend thereunto for these two principle reasons which they gave to the King and Spanish Embassadour First for that thâ— Spaniard was an Assistant to the Emperour against the Palsgrave and in keeping the Lady Elizabeth from being setled in her inhâ—ritance so that to assist him would bee to turne the points of our owne swords against our selves Secondly That they are contrary in Religion to us and that to assist them is not only matter of Conscience but it would bee of evill president if it should bee granted Whereupon it was moved that no Officers should serve the Spaniard withoâ—â— leave and that no Marchant nor Master of ship should transport any Ammunition of War to them under penaltie and confiscation of the same and displeasure of the Parliament You have heard before what a labouring and plotting there was to keep the Irish Army from disbanding and to give a new occasion of assembling them to some parts of Ireland under pretence of transporting them into the Low Countries or Spain to serve the Spaniard but no doubt the true reason was to execute that horrid bloudy Massacre and designe of surprising Dubline Castle and all other Forts of Irealnd by the popish party in one day which was formerly plotted and intended to be put in execution the 23. of Octob. 1641 but that it was in part prevented by a timely discovery of it the very night before Dublin Castle should have beene surprised by those Popish conspirators How by whom this horrid execrable conspiracy was plotted contrived and executed you may read at large in The Rise and progresse of the Irish Rebellion in Doctor Iones his booke of Examinations and sundry other Treatises of this subject set forth by Authority of Parliament whereunto I shall only annex such supplymentall evidences concerning the Rebellion which have come unto my hands omitted for the most part by them Among Secretary Windebankes papers I found this ensuing subscribed by Daniel Oneale about the yeare 1640. which hath some relation to this Irish Rebellion Oweâ— O Neall by his Majesties permission about five yeares agoe raised a Regiment of 30.
