worse with them than that famous Bishop of Lincoln Robert After the manner of Robert Grosthead Bishop of Lincoln his usage of his Kinsman Grosthead dealt with his poor Kinsman in whose behalf when he was sollicited to advance him and thereupon enquiring what course of life he followed and receiving answer that he was an Husbandman Why then quoth he if his Plough be broken I will repair it or rather than fail bestow a new one upon him whereby he may go on in his course of life but so to advance him as to make him forsake his Trade or Condition in which he was brought up that mean I not to do 125. I fear lest I have held the Reader too long in these private matters therefore I will for brevity sake omit to speak of the fair Library which he left behind him with many other memorable things worthy the observation and return again unto his publick Affairs 126. THE Archbishop respecting the welfare of the Church and publick Cause albeit he was very confident of the King 's Princely wisdom by the experience he had thereof being now an ancient Counsellor and well understanding the passages of Matters betwixt his Majesty and state of our Country whereby he did conceive that it was not probable so wise and learned a Prince could be overcome with the Conceits of such Innovators whose Fancies could not stand but with hazard of the State yet he held it most expedient to send that Reverend Gentleman Master Doctor Nevill Doctor Nevill Dean of Canterbury sent by the Archbishop and Clergy into Scotland to King James Dean of Canterbury into Scotland to his Majesty in the name of the Bishops and Clergy of England to tender their bounden Duties and to understand his Highness's pleasure for the ordering and guiding of Clergy Causes The Dean brought a most gracious Answer of his Highness's purpose which was to uphold and maintain the Government of the late Queen as she left it setled Which Answer did much The King's Answer that he would uphold the Church comforts the Archbishop comfort the Archbishop and the rather because it did yield full satisfaction unto some others who peradventure might conceive some doubt of alteration by reason of the Puritan brags and their affections unto the Presbyterial Government in Scotland 127. In this mean while the preparations Queen Elizabeth's Funeral April 28. 1603. very sumptuously performed were great for solemnization of the late Queen's Funeral which being performed very sumptuously as became the dignity of so great a Prince the Archbishop as he was the principal in the Custody of the Kingdom and chief in all Councils of State under his Majesty in his absence for there is no interregnum in England as Watson the Priest did trayterously pretend so in this last Solemnity of Obsequy unto his ever honoured Sovereign and Mistress he was the most eminent Person of the whole Land and principal Mourner The Archbishop the chief Mourner who received the Offering and had the Banners presented unto him 128. After this when at his Majesty's King James gives him personal assurance of preserving the setled State of the Church first entrance into England the King had spoken with him at Theobalds whereby he more fully conceived his religious pleasure touching the Affairs of this Commonwealth he was therewith put into heart especially when after his coming to London he did again perceive his Resolution for the continuance of the well setled state of the Church which made him more chearfully prepare himself for performance of his Duty as a thing belonging unto King James's Coronation July 25. 1603. by the hands of the Archbishop his Place against the day of Coronation July 25. 1603. 129. At which time the Archbishop with all due Ceremonies and observances for so great a Solemnity crowned and anointed his Sacred Majesty King JAMES in the Collegiate Church of Westminster Then also and there he crowned our most noble and gracious Queen ANN his Majesty's Queen Ann also crown'd at the same time happy and fruitful Wife whose blessed Seed God grant so to encrease and continue as there may never be wanting thereof to rule and reign in this Kingdom 130. The Puritan Faction did not surcease until by their importunity they obtained a Conference before his The Conference at Hampton-Court Jan. 14. 1603. betwixt the Bishops and the Puritans in the King's presence The King satisfied with the Bishops reasonings And orders the reprinting the Liturgy Highness which continued for three days His Majesty having now at full heard their Objections and the Bishops Answers the weakness of the one and the foreible Reasons of the other much confirming his Royal mind in his former Opinion was pleased immediately thereupon to signify publickly his Resolution for the continuance of the Religion and Ecclesiastical Government formerly established highly commending the Wisdom Care and Constancy of his Sister the late Queen Elizabeth in constituting and maintaining all things so well as also approving the Bishops Learning Wisdom and endeavour to uphold so godly and well governed a Church which himself by God's assistance would ever advance and defend Likewise he gave present command touching the new printing of the Common-Prayer-book for the further ratifying of the Liturgy and Orders of our Church 131. The Parliament now growing A Parliament comes on on the Archbishop that he might be the better prepared did appoint a meeting at Fulham at the Bishop of The Bishops have a meeting at Fulham London's House to confer with some of the Bishops and Judges of his Court concerning the Affairs of the Church which were then to be treated upon As he was thus going in his Barge upon an extaordinary cold day and having his Barge-cloath tied up as his custom was to the top of the Bales the Wind blew very sharply so that the young Gentlemen shaking with cold desired to have the Cloath down which he would by no means permit because the Water was rough and he would therefore see his way By reason whereof the flashing of the Water and sharpness of the Air did so pierce the Archbishop being above Threescore and The Archbishop 73 years old is seized with a cold on the Water thirteen years of Age that he complained the same night of a great cold which he had then taken in the mould of his Head 132. Notwithstanding which distemperature for performance of his accustomed duty unto the King's Majesty as formerly unto the Queen he went upon the next Sabbath following being the first Sunday in Lent over unto the Court at Whitehall where Goes to the Court has speech with the King about Affairs of the Church meeting the then Bishop of London they both had long speech with his Highness about the Affairs of the Church both before and after his Majesty's coming from the Chappel For which cause staying long at the Court and having fasted until it was near

Papists as fearing lest they conceived an hope of advancing their Cause and Quarrel by help of the aforesaid Contentions betwixt the Bishops and these Sectaries and so soon as they should have found the Forces on both sides sufficiently weakned and enfeebled by a long continuance of the Conflict to have destroyed the Vanquished with the Vanquishers whereby to re establish their Papal Jurisdiction and superstitious Impieties as not long after this Archbishop's death they attempted to do by the divelish Device of that damnable Powder-Treason which if it had succeeded their intendment then was to have put both alike to the Sword 99. You may perceive by the Premisses He is unjustly traduced by the Sectaries how untruly some of the uncharitable and precipitate Sectaries traduced him for a Papist and called him The Pope of Lambeth in their Libels and Conventicles and most unjustly reproached him with the Title of Doctor Pearn ' s Servant whom they likewise taxed with Popery and falsly charged him to have infected the Archbishop therewith because of his affection and love unto him for the reasons specified before The truth is as the Archbishop was of his own nature a very loving kind man so he did hate ingratitude He hated Ingratitude in any and could never be taxed with that fault He was likewise as the Gentlemen of Worcestershire and Kent had daily experience very firm Is firm in his Friendships and marvailous constant where he affected and professed love which brought him in great displeasure in the Cause of the late Earl of Essex with whose Life and Actions though I have nothing to do having only taken upon me to report another Man's yet thus much I may truly say that his misfortune drew upon the Archbishop the greatest discontentment and severest reprehension Censured for his affection to the Earl of Essex from her Majesty that he had ever before undergone in all his life 100. For after that the Earl began to fall upon Courses displeasing and distastful unto her Majesty nevertheless such was the confidence the Archbishop had in the Earl's Loyaly and his own stedfastness in that Friendship which he had formerly professed unto him that he could not be drawn from being a continual Intercessor for him wherewith her Majesty was so highly displeased The Queen displeased at his inter cession for the Earl which much grieves him and so sharply rebuked him for the same that the good old Archbishop came sometimes home much grieved and perplexed 101. Within a while after the Earl forgetting that unto Princes the highest Tacit. Annal lib 4 judgment of things is given and unto us the glory of obedience is left went out indeed The Archbishop being that Sunday Earl of Essex apprehended Feb. 8. 1600. Morning at the Court whether by direction or by his own accord I know not hastned home without any Attendant and commanded as many men as he then had in the House to be presently armed and sent them over unto the Court but not to go within the Gates until Master Secretary Cecill or some other by his instruction should appoint them a Leader There were immediately The Archbishop arms his Servants for the Queen's defence presented unto him Threescore men well armed and appointed who with a Message from the Archbishop shewed themselves before the Court of whose arrival there Master Secretary Cecill with the rest of the Lords of the Council were right glad and said he Well taken at Court was a most worthy Prelate They had speedily a Leader appointed unto them and marched presently and were the first that entred into the Gates of Essex-house and in the first Court made good the place until the Earl yielded himself Earl of Essex brought to Lambeth-house then sent to the Tower and was by the Lord Admiral brought to Lambeth-house where he remained an hour or two and was from thence conveyed to the Tower The Archbishop had likewise in readiness that Afternoon Forty Horsemen well appointed and expected Directions from the Court how to dispose of them The next Morning he sent a Gentleman to know how the Queen did and how she rested all night To whom she made answer that she rested and slept the better for his care the day before but I beshrew his heart said she he would not believe this of Essex though I had often told him it would one day thus come to pass 102. After this when her Majesty understood that her own recommendation of the Earl had wrought that good The Archbishop in the Queen 's good opinion and favour to her dying-day opinion of him in the Archbishop and that she now found his readiness for her defence with Horse and Men and the nearness thereof unto the Court to stand her at that time in great stead she began to entertain him in her wonted favour and grace again and ever after continued her good opinion of him unto her dying day 103. Towards which time though Queen Elizabeth died March 24. 1602. The Archbishop Dr. Bancroft Dr. Watson Dr. Parry attend the Queen in her Sickness by reason of her melancholy Disease she was impatient of others speeches with her yet was she well pleased to hear the Archbishop the then Bishops of London and Chichester and the now Bishop of Worcester with some other Divines give her comfort and counsel to prepare her self to God-ward and most devoutly prayed with them making signs and tokens unto her last remembrance of the sweet comfort which she took in their presence especially when towards her end they put her in mind of the unspeakable Joys she was now going unto where no doubt she remaineth a glorious Saint of God and as a most religious Prince rewarded with a Crown of Immortality and Bliss 104. NOW the much-lamented The Faction take heart on the Queen's death death of this noble Queen gave great hope to the Factious of challenging forth with all exemption from the Censures and subjection of Ecclesiastical Authority But how vain their hopes were the issue hath declared and although the Archbishop was much dejected and grieved for the loss of his dear Sovereign and Mistress who had so highly advanced him yet he with the rest of the Lords repaired immediately to Whitehall and after two hours sitting in Council about the penning of the Proclamation he principally as his Place required with a chearful countenance and the rest of the Lords in like sort accompanying him first at the Court-gate at White-hall with the applause and unspeakable comfort of all the People proclaimed her most rightful Successor JAMES then King James proclaimed King of England March 24. 1602. King of Scotland King of England France and Ireland Afterwards in like chearful sort the Archbishop with the rest of the Lords trooped up to the Cross in Cheapside and there with like acclamation of the Lord Mayor and Citizens Sir Robert Leighe Lord Mayor The People are

make herein shall be upon thorns and therefore I am to fear pricking Yet for all this I am not without hope neither is the same grounded but by good warrant The end why I write unto you is this to intreat you to give thanks to those holy men all on my behalf who are now in question I have reaped much benefit from them by their carriage towards me though they know it not For I durst not in regard of danger which might grow Note to them visit any of them since I found my self carried with a zeal to do somewhat in the same Cause for which they suffer If by some effects hereafter I may shew it that is it which I desire to do and in the mean time do what I can to persuade the Saints that in this Action I seek God's glory and not mine own I have been heretofore put back and dissuaded from attempting any thing lest I marred all by the wisest the learnedest the zealousest and holiest Preachers of this City gene Causes and weighty Reasons moving thereunto But yet this will not make me leave it but still I am enforced by little and little to labour to make my self fit to take upon me the managing of it Wherefore if it please you to shew the other Letter and this and beseech them from me to lay them before the Lord when they shall meet and join together in prayer And if the Lord's Spirit shall assure their Spirits that he hath been is and will be with me in this Action how hard soever it seemeth to be let me by their means be vouchsafed this favour that I may be allowed conference with the Preachers of the City which Sute I make not for that I would seek to have approbation from them or any other living Creature but from God himself Or that I purpose to do that which heretofore I have been advised unto namely acquaint them with the Courses which I purpose by God's assistance to Note take in hand whereby great danger might grow to them and little good to me But that my carriage towards them may witness unto them the humility of my mind and lowliness of my spirit and care and conscience not to enter into the matter without offer to have my Gifts examined and if they shall be supposed to be such as the Church may have use of then let all holy means be used which shall be advised to be fit to be done in such a dangerous time and weighty Action So beseeching God to govern us in all our ways and preserve us in all our dangers and supply us with whatsoever we stand in need of I humbly and heartily commend you to God this 21st day of May 1591. The effect of the Speeches which Coppinger Coppinger incourageth the said Gentleman to persevere in defence of the Cause He declares to him his Revelations and extraordinary Gifts and Calling touching the Reformation of the Church had with him at their Conference as the said Gentleman himself reported was to commend the Cause of the Preachers committed to incourage him to the defence of it adding that it was the truth of God and that in the end it would prevail Then the said Coppinger began to declare unto him his Revelations his great fasting and prayer and how God had indued him with an extraordinary grace of Prayer Persuasion or Prophecy And that God had appointed him as he was persuaded to reveal the will of God touching the reformation of his Church that he had an extraordinary Calling to do good to the Church and what several conflicts he had in himself before he yielded to this extraordinary motion or calling from God Therefore his Request was That by He desires that his Gifts and Calling may be tried and allowed by the Preachers the said Gentleman's means his Gifts and Calling might be tried and allowed by those godly Preachers c. What the Preachers and others that were conferred with answered to Coppinger herein and whether more dutifully to the Estate than warily so as they might neither as they thought endanger themselves nor kill or discourage the Zeal of that their Brother in so pretended holy a Cause may partly by that which is afore spoken appear and we may then believe them when they shall tell us the whole truth thereof But how slender and cold discouragement A cold Answer from some he found with some Preachers of London with whom he dealt touching his fantastical extraordinary Calling and dangerous Plots may also appear by these words found in a Letter of his viz. Good Master L. as Master E's former carriage in this Action which standeth me much upon to deal advisedly in did somewhat trouble me so his Christian and loving Answer delivered now by you from him unto me doth much comfort me though by reason of some particular business which I must necessarily follow I cannot attend till Friday in the Afternoon or Saturday any part of the day And after in the same Letter thus Satan by his Angelical wisdom which he still retaineth doth many times prevail with the holiest to make them fear good success in the best Causes in regard of the lets and hindrances which himself layeth in the way It cannot be denied but that the Cause is good which I desire to be an Actor in But it is said by some that it is impossible that I should be fit to meddle therein So that here a Christian A further Conference The Course not misliked but Success only doubted from his unfitness and loving Answer to his great comfort is given further conference by speech is offered and the Course not so much misliked as the Success only is doubted by reason of his unfitness that was to be an Actor in it But what Resolution herein was also returned from the Preachers of Foreign Parts to this Case of Conscience propounded by Coppinger may hereby not unprobably be gathered Arthington at one of his Examinations confessed that Penry sent a Letter unto him forth of Scotland wherein he signified Penry writes to A thington from Scotland that Reformation must be set up in England that Reformation for so they speak must shortly be erected in England And herein he said that he took Penry to be a Prophet Now it is sure that Penry conveyed himself privily into England and was lurking about London at the self-same time when these other Prophets arose in Cheapside attending as seemeth the fulfilling of this his Prophecy also by their means How dutifully and advisedly those that be Subjects have dealt which having intelligence hereof did conceal it till it burst forth of it self with apparent danger to her Majesty and the whole State may thus be The concealing of this Design dangerous to the State gathered For by this Conceit of Coppinger's you hear it is pretended and surmised that a commendable Cause a Cause to be defended yea the very truth of God which must prevail
