Gellius lib. 5. cap. 20 Romane Censor Habésne vxorem ex animi tuisententiâ I might answere vnto him as the party vnto the Censor Habeo equidem vxorem sed non herclé ex animi tui sententiâ It was inough for him and me to make our choyce to our owne contentment in this case If there were any other default Sir Edward knoweth the wise necessary counsayle for me and other husbands also q A. Gell. l. 1. c. 17. Vxoris vitium aut tollendum aut ferendum qui tollit vxorem commodiorem praestat qui fert sese meliorem facit 5. But to deale with you in good earnest Sir do not think so vncharitably of me that I wanted due affection vnto my spouse or that wanting due affection vnto hir I would therefore renounce the Spouse of Christ as you pretend your Church to be inuest hir with that name No there had been other alleuiations in this behalf not so vnkind to hir not so dishonest before men not so impious in the sight of God But that I might embrace a comfortable vnion with the Spouse of Christ the Catholick Romane Apostolick Church I am therefore separated by place not loue from hir betwixt whom and me there is a perfect neerenesse in this great distance And though Sir Edwards pen hath made a * See afterward Chap. 2. §. 3. num 22. 25. fowle blott to the prejudice of hir good affection towards me yet I will belieue it to be a part of the commō wrongs which we sustayn from this vngentle Knight And thus assuring both hir and him that I want not affection but meanes to expresse it which I will endeauour to do whether within or without the Land I will conclude this matter and therewith this chapter also 6. Perhapps now I may be condemned for writing too much or too little in this kind howbeit he that ingageth me into the doubtfull censure of the Readers hath made the same aduenture of his owne fortune If we fare equally I am eased by his company If I fare worse I haue patience to beare and charity to forgiue If better he hath no reason to complayn CHAP. II. Of sondry other crimes objected vnto me by Sir Edward in his first sifting Paragraph §. 1. Of my disconceipt toward the Catholique Romane faith after my Alienation from the Church of England 1. SIR the amplitude of your discourse exceedeth the commission of your title For though your first Paragraph doth promise according to the inscription r pag. 7. to fift the CAVSES of my Alienation which you haue raysed vnto THREE yet the greater part thereof spendeth it self in other pretēded crimes viz. disconceipt toward my present Religion perjury in promises astorgy and vnnaturall affection vnto my Father and such like things without coherēce in them selues or reference vnto their title yet Sir you accuse the ſ pag. 2. mishapen disproportion of my booke as though my cōceipts had payned the womb of my braynes and striuing for birth had broken from me rather by violēce then by order Which accusation may perhapps belōg rather vnto your self whose zeale to do me wrong distempered the method of your thoughts so that the things which beganne to proceed from you at the first retired themselues to yeald passadge vnto the rest as t Gen. 38.27 Zara beganne first to come into the world and yet withdrew himself to giue place vnto the birth of Pharez 2. But I passe by your method and I come vnto your Matter wherein if you be found defectiue also either by your owne inuention which is good or by others suggestion which I would rather belieue in this case then your stayning calumniations must in the end returne and ebb agayn vpon you or thē from whom they flowed in the beginning And now I will treate particularly of the pretended crimes which being dispersed in your sifting Paragraph shall be reduced heere more exactly vnto their seuerall heads 3. The FIRST criminatiō therefore annexed vnto the former Causes toucheth my disconceipt toward the Romane Catholick faith as though my Alienation from you were rather in actiō then affectiō outward thē inward in mouth thē mynd this you prooue by a triple euidēce or reasō FIRST I do easily belieue say u pag. 16. you vpon his credible report that at such time as M. Etkins your old fellow Chaplayn and friend * at S. Omers desired your company to Bruxells or to England you smote your hand vpon your breast and in great passion vttered theis words O that I might safely returne for that is my desire Yea more you * pag. 16. say that at his sight I had Peters teares in my eyes for the deniall of my Maister c. 4. As for the person relating he doth me wrong if you wrong not him in the relation it self For I appeale vnto his cōscience which representeth things past in hir secrete and inward reflex whether I gaue him the least signe or suspition of inconstancy in this truly and onely Catholick faith or whether I expressed any the least affection toward that which he now doth and I did sometimes professe Doth he not remember that my Father treating with me to shew obedience and humility in hearing the judgements of some principall Deuines in England but finding no hope of my conformity according to his desire sayd thereupon VVhat then should he do in England if he be so obstinate Yea doth he not remember his owne apology for me in my Fathers presence In good faith I do belieue that he is so perswaded in his heart 5. That he proposed vnto me a jorney for Bruxells or England or both I deny not as also that I shewed an affection in me loyall vnto my Prince dutifull vnto my Contrey louing vnto my Friends whom I was desirous to see but yet without any such tragicall action or passion to any such end and purpose as you from him pretend Wherefore I must leaue you both to deuide this wrong betwixt your selues which is so much the greater whether in you or in him because you are one whom I neuer offended he is one whom I euer loued And what soeuer the effects of his friendshipp toward me haue been they are not proportionable vnto this discourtesy if the matter it self were true as God knoweth it is most false Seneca said wisely vpon his owne experiēce Quidam sunt amici leues inimici graues which yet I will neuer apply vnto him vnlesse I find by better informatiō then you seeme either to receiue or giue that he hath done me this wrong which you haue published in his name And so much for the first 6. Your SECOND proof ensueth viz. x pag. 17. The small liking which you haue to the Romish Religion you sufficiently manifested when as being reconciled to that Synagogue by one Flud a Priest you did yet after your returne out of Yorkeshire write a little Pamphlett
