A43643	A vindication of the naked truth, the second part against the trivial objections and exceptions, of one Fullwood, stiling himself, D. D. archdeacon of Totnes in Devonshire, in a libelling pamphlet with a bulky and imboss'd title, calling it Leges Angliæ, or, The lawfulness of ecclesiastical jurisdiction in the Church of England : in answer to Mr. Hickeringill's Naked truth, the second part / by Phil. Hickeringill.	Hickeringill, Edmund, 1631-1708.	1681 (1681)	Wing H1832; ESTC R13003	47,957	41

consider'd in his CHAP. III. Whose Title is That KING Henry 8. did not by renouncing the power pretended by the Pope make void the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction neither was it void before it was restored by 1 Edw. 6.2 And to prove this Negative he 's at it again with his old way of Questions but that he shews a little more warmth and wrath against Mr. Hickeringill in this Ironical Sarcasm Pray Mr. Wiseman where and by what words did H. 8. cut off as you say all these ordinary Jurisdictions Mr. Hickeringill told you enough of it in the Naked Truth which read over seriously before you answer any more such Books good Mr. D. D. He told you that when the Popes Supremacy and Head was be-headed and the King made Supreme Head of the Church as well as State and of the Spirituality as well as Temporality by Act of Parliament The same King and Parliament devis'd also and advis'd by what Laws this new face of the Church having got a new head sure it had a new face should be guided and governed Therefore the King and Parliament enact that the King shall appoint Thirty-two Commissioners not to make new Laws but compile them out of the old ones so that they were not repugnant to the Kings Prerogative nor the Laws of the Realm But that was a thing impossible for most of the Canons being forged at Rome or Licensed there and Confirmed and also they supposing the Pope Head of the Church which was against the Laws of this Land nothing could be done and the reason is already given in the former Chapter at large so that less shall need to be said to this Chapter or indeed to the remaining part of his mighty Volume or Leges Angliae And truly that King Henry 8. had so much to do to keep and secure his new acquests the abby-Abby-Lands Monastries c. and to Counterplot the Pope and his Emissaries and on the other side the English Bishops were so consternated at the sudden and total downfal of their Brethren and Sisters the Fryers Abbots and Nuns that they were in a bodily fear lest that King thus flesh't finding the sweetness of the Booty should hunt after more church-Church-Lands And therefore Mr. Archdeacon needed not ask the Question Was that watchful Prince asleep no surely nor yet the watchful Bishops I fear did not sleep very quietly but were always troubled in their sleep crying out oh this fat Mannor is upon the go And these brave Walks Houses and Orchards are a departing And as dreams sometimes prove unluckily true so did these dreams for soon after was first exchanged with the two Archbishops by the Satute of 37. Henry 8.16 Sixty-nine fat and stately Mannors named in the said Statute at one time from the Archbishop of York and also a great many brave Country-houses and rich Mannors from the Archbishop of Canterbury and from Edmond Bishop of London which See was particularly named in the Statute But some may say that the Abby-Lands which the King gave in exchange were not comparable in value to the said Archbishops Lands and Mannors Who can help that if they did not like those Abby-Lands I suppose they might have let them alone Thus the King having been busied in the 24th year of his Reign with cutting off the Roman Head and all appeals to Rome then troubled with his abby-Abby-Lands beginning with the lesser Monastries 27 Henry 8.28 those digested then the great Monastries and Nunneries 31. Henry 8.13 then the next year the brave Houses Lands and Revenues of the Templers called the Knights of the Rhodes and of St. John of Jerusalem 32. Henry 8.24 then the Free-Chantries Hospitals c. in 37. Henry 8.4 and in this his last year that sad exchange with the Archbishops and Bishop of London 37. Henry 8.16 I do not see any cause Mr. Archdeacon why any flesh alive should say that either the King or the Bishops were asleep for Thirteen years together in which time every one had work enough to be watchful The best on 't is that the man thinks he can answer all Mr. Hickeringill's Arguments in the Naked Truth with a Story which he tells p. 14. and so silly and so little quadrating with the question in controversie that it is not worth the answering nor his observation thereon namely that though the Lords of the Mannors were changed yet the Customs and Courts and Officers were not changed No were not the Customs Courts nor Officers changed God forbid for then it must still be a Custom that neither the Bishop nor the Archdeacon may lawfully Marry it will still be a Custom to excommunicate as it was of old all that did not pay the Pope the first fruits and tenths if the Customs be not changed and a thousand such exceptions could I make if it were not below me to take notice of all his idle and impertinent Whimsies and Stories obvious enough to every learned and ingenuous Reader without my remark or asterisque to expose it Nor does any body deny but that King H. 8. willing to have a Divorce from Queen Katharine from Rome and not able to obtain the same got it at home the said Statute of Appeals cutting off all Appeals to Rome and enabling the Kings Courts Spiritual and Temporal to determine the same Any Forrein Inhibitions Appeals Sentences Summons c. from the See of Rome c. to the Let or Impediment in any wise notwithstanding 24. Henry 8.12 Whence note 1. The design of the Statute is to cut off Appeals to Rome this Realm of England being an Empire of it self governed by one Supreme Head 2. Therefore no need of such Appeals when they may be with less trouble ended here within the Kings Jurisdiction in Courts Spiritual and Temporal 3. That Statute limits the cognisance of all matters cognisable in Spiritual Courts to these Three sorts namely Causes Testamentary Matrimonial or Divorces Tithes and Oblations and Obventions and if they can prove their Courts to be lawful Courts and by lawful Anthority who ever doubted but those Three things were matters and causes of Ecclesiastical cognisance but they are not content to keep themselves there and therefore the great design of the Naked Truth is not in the least to check their proceedings in those Three Particulars but their exorbitances in medling with Church Wardens the Oath of Church-Wardens exactions illegal and unconscionable in their Fees in despight of the Statutes in Probate of Wills Procurations Sequestrations Synodals Licenses to Preach Visitations c. 4. The Archbishops Bishops and Clergy in Convocation in less than Twenty years after this Statute found so little Authority in this 24. Henry 8.12 for keeping Spiritual Courts and exercising Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction it coming in but by way of Parenthesis and not the purport and main design of the Statute that they all acknowledg and confess uno ore and 2. Phil. and Mar. that their Jurisdiction and Liberties Ecclesiastical were taken away

in their own names and not in the name and stile of the King their head and the head of the Church as well as State and as all other his Majesties Courts are kept in England Indeed the Courts-Baron and Courts Leet c. are kept in the name of the Lord of the Leet Hundred c. they being the Lords-Courts properly and not the Kings-Courts no more than his Lands or Mannors are properly the Kings Lands and Mannors But the Courts of Justice whether Ecclesiastical or Civil ought surely to be open to all the Kings Leige people and have the Kings Authority name and stile not only for their Warrant and Authority but to give them thereby life vigour power Granduer and Majesty And 't is strange to me that men who have taken the Oath of Supremacy have bid desiance to the Pope and do not pretend to set up a Commonwealth in a Common-wealth nor any Government independent of the Crown Imperial of this Realm nor have no privy designs at some time or other to stand as of old upon their own legs without dependance upon the King whom both Papists Presbyterians Fift-monarchy-men c. endeavour to subjugate to their discipline should be so aukward and loath to have their Processes and Citations go out and run as other Writs in the Kings name and stile and it were but for their own ends to agrandize their Processes and Proceedings except as formerly the Clergy do take care to have as little dependance upon a Lay-man as possibly may be and I say again it will never be well nor our differences cemented until Lay and Ecclesiastical men be one and the same with one and the same ends and designs in this Kingdom where all Ecclesiastical and Lay-power is united and one and the same in one Head our Soveraign Lord the King 'T is this Bigottism that undoes us and wars upon the score of Religion that above all other things has blooded all over the woful face of Christendom But let me hear of no more Extortions for Visitations Procurations Synodals Institutions Inductions Ordinations Licenses to Preach Sequestrations Pilling and Polling the Clergy nor in Probate of Wills the Laity and in Visitations Church-Wardens And when they have done and Performed their said Great Duties if after that they cry out for want of work and Employment let them also sit upon as many Benches as shall be thought fit It is acknowledged also That Convocations are alwayes have been and ought to be Assembled by the King 's Writ only no doubt on 't for else they are an Unlawful Conventicle And there let them Sit together 'till I or any Body else disturb them or meddle with them The Power to make Laws for the Church was ever in the King and Parliament only and who ever denyes the same 't is fit they should severely Answer it in a Parliament Have a care of a Parliament Mr. Arch-Deacon Have a care of a Praemunire War-Hawk I will not say War-Buzzard I had almost forgot to touch upon one String with which he makes a great Sound and Noise in his Proem and that is to prove That Chancellors Registers Sumners Officials Commissaries Advocates Notaries Surrogates c. ejusdem farinae are all Church-Officers Jure Divino and according to Holy Writ Ay! But where What Chapter What Verse It follows as close as any thing In 1 Cor. 12.28 Helps in Government The Registers are but to Make I thought that had been the Judges Office to Make and keep the Acts of Court c. Advocates and Proctors to Order and Manage Causes And Apparitors to Serve Process and Execute Mandates c. Then this Remark Mr. Hickeringill is a Man of great Experience in Spiritual Jurisdiction and need not be told of these plain Matters having said in the first words of this Paragraph But How Witless and Quaker-like is this And How unlike Mr. Hickeringill Sometimes he makes Mr. Hickeringill a Hobbist a Papist a Statist and a Man of great Experience in Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and now a Witless Quaker Even just what the Good Old Gentleman pleases But sure Mr. Arch-Deacon does mistake and Mr. Hickeringill is not a Man of so great Experience but he had need to be told of these Plain Matters again and again before it can be beaten into his Head That the Apostle who never had Register Surrogate Apparitor nor Commissary Official nor Advocate nor the Primitive Church no not so much as an Arch-Bishop or an Arch-Deacon should ever intend or mean any such Creatures when he told the Corinthians of Helps in Government Well of a D. D. 't is an Incomparable Finder a Piercing and Quick-sighted Commentator for a Man of his Age that cannot see without Spectacles For Proctors Sumners and Apparitors are just such Helps in Government in the Church as Squire Dun and Gregory in the State namely Helps to Ruin many Alas Poor Primitive Church of Christ That made a Shift to subsist many Hundreds of Years by Miracle surely and yet never had these Ass-sistants or Helps in Government Such Helps in Government God knows Plut. Lives p. 940. as are far more fit to People the City that Plutarch speaks of called Poneropolis God grant them a good Shipping they 'l meet with many of their Brethren in Spain and Italy And it is as sensless to Defend these Ecclesiastical Fellows by Magna Charta because such as They if they still be Papists as those were were then Members of Holy-Church and brought hither from Rome by William the Conquerour For by that First Clause of Magna Charta That the Church of England shall be Free and have all Her Liberties c. can never be meant as the Arch-Deacon would insinuate that it is a Sin to alter that Frame of Government and the Rights and Libertyes of Holy Church For Peter-Pence First Fruits and Tenths to the Pope Investiture of Bishops c. with many other were then the Right and Liberties of Holy Church as aforesaid when Magna Charta was Made I have not willingly omitted to give Answer to all and every the idle Cavils and Exceptions in his Book Once for all by way of Conclusion for I am quite tired with his Impertinencies let the Reader Read the Statute of 1. Eliz. 1. and he will find 1. That the Popish Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Church at the Making of that Statute was cut off utterly by the Name of all Forreign Powers Repealing the 1. and 2. Phil. Mar. 8. whereby the See of Rome had been again set up in England from whence that Statute confesses with great Contrition to use the Words of that Statute They had a long while wandred and strayed abroad and in which Statute the Protestant Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction set up by Edward 6. is Disanulled 2. That therefore by 1. Eliz. 1. it appears there was then neither Popish nor Protestant Jurisdiction Ecclesiastical 3. That therefore full Power and Authority is granted to the Queen Her
