as Authors generally agree King Edward instituted the Order of the Garter Right enough as unto the time but much mistaken in some things which relate unto that ancient and most noble Order our Author taking up his Commodities at the second hand neither consulting the Records nor dealing in this businesse with men of credit Fuller I am now come under the Roof of the Animadvertor who by the Laws of Hospitality is bound to treat me the more courteously I mean I am entred into a Subject wherein he is well seen and therefore might favourably connive at my small slips being therein best studied It is severely said that in this businesse I dealt with no men of credit The highest person next the Son of the King wearing a blew Ribbon was pleased so far to favour me as that from his own mouth I wrote the last sheet of my History his Grace endeavouring to be very exact in all particulars Dr. Heylin For first there are not fourteen Canons resident in the Church of Windsor but thirteen onely with the Dean it being King Edwards purpose when he founded that Order consisting of twenty six Knights himself being one to institute as many greater and lesser Canons and as many old Soldiers commonly called poor Knights to be pensioned there Though in this last the number was not made up to his first intention Fuller The mistake such an one as it is shall be amended in my next Edition Dr. Heylin He tells us secondly that if he be not mistaken as indeed he is Sir Thomas Row was the last Chanoellor of the Order Whereas Sir Iames Palmer one of the Gentlemen Huishers of the Privy Chamber succeeded him in the place of Chancellor after his decease Anno 1644. Fuller The Animadvertor is very discourteous to deny me the benefit of the Parenthesis If I be not mistaken The best Authors have their Ni fallor Si quid video Si bene intelligo and the like These are Grains allowed to all Pieces currant in payment Sir Thomas Roe was the last Chancellor who effectually officiated in his place Winsor before the year 1644. being a chief Garrison of the Parliament Tully calls a Consul chosen in the morning and put out before night a Vigilant Consul who never slept in all his Coâ—sulship But on another occasion one may say of Sir Iames Palmer otherwise a worthy Gentleman well deserving that and a better place that He was a very watchfull Chancellor who never slept in Winsor whilst invested in his Office Dr. Heylin He tels us thirdly That there belongs unto it one Register being alwayes the Dean of Winsor which is nothing so For though the Deans of late times have been Registers also yet ab initio non fuit sic it was not so from the beginning The first Dean was also Register being Iohn Boxul Anno 1557. Before which time beginning at the year 1414. there had been nine Registers which were not Deans but how many more before that time I am not able to say their names not being on Record Fuller I say not that the Register alwaies Was the Dean but being alwaies the Dean which relating to our and our fathers memories is right enough but it shall be reformed Dr. Heylin And fourthly he tels us That the Garter is one of the extraordinary Habiliments of the Knights of this Order their ordinary being onely the blew Ribbon about their necks with the Picture of St. George appendant and the Sun in his glory on the left shoulder of their Cloak whereas indeed the Garter is of common wearing and of such necessary use that the Knights are not to be seen abroad without it upon pain of paying two Crowns to any Officer of the Order who shall first claim it unlesse they be to take a journey in which case it is sufficient to wear a blew Ribbon under their Boots to denote the Garter Lastly whereas our Author tells us that the Knights hereof doe weare on the left shoulder of their Cloaks a Sun in his glory and attributes this wearing as some say to King Charles I will first put him out of doubt that this addition was King Charles his then shew him his mistake in the matter it self And first in the first year of that King Apr. 26. 1626. it was thus enacted at a publick Chapter of the Order viz. That all Knights and Companions of the Order shall wear upon the left part of their Cloaks Coats and riding Cassocks at all times when they shall not wear their Roabs and in all places of Assembly an Escocheon of the Armes of St. George id est a Crosse within a Garter not enriched with Pearls or Stones in token of the honour which they hold from the said most noble Order instituted and ordained for persons of the highest worth and honour Our Author secondly may perceive by this Act of the Kings that St. Georges Crosse within the Garter is the main device injoyned to be worn by all the Knights of that noble Order to which the adding of the Sun in his glory served but for ornament and imbellishing and might be either used or not used but onely for conformities sake as they would themselves Fuller This Sun in Glory affords me small light so that I can see but very little if any thing at all which I have to alter Dr. Heylin So many Errors in so few lines one shall hardly meet with Fuller Yea with more in fewer lines even in the Animadvertor himself in laying down the Root and Branches of the noble family of the Montagues Mistakes the more remarkable because done in correction of Mr. Sanderson and making more faults that He mendeth Or rather all is but one mistake resulting from a continued complication of omissions confusions and transpositions Advertisements on the History of the Reign of King Iames pag. 21 22. Fol. 490. Sir Edward Montague had three sonnes Edward the eldest Knight of the Bath c. The Author here is much mistaken in the House of the Montagues For first that Edward Montague who was Knight of the Bath c. was not Brother to Iames Bishop of Winchester and Henry Earl of Manchester but their Brothers Son that is to say the Son of another Edward their eldest Brother Secondly besides that Edward Iames and Henry there was another Brother whom the Author names not though he could not chuse but know the man viz. Sir Sidney Montague one of the Masters of the Requests to the late King Charles Therefore to set this matter right I am to let both him and his Readers know that Sir Edward Montague chief Justice in the time of King Edward the sixth was father of another Edward who lived peaceably and nobly in his own Country To whom succeeded a third Edward who sought for honour in the Wars and gained the reputation of a good Commander the elder Brother of Iames Henry and Sidney before mentioned and the father of a fourth Edward who
was made Knight of the Bath at the Coronation of King Iames Anno 1603. and afterwards created Lord Montague of Boughton in the nineteenth year of that King Anno 1621. which honourable Title is now enjoyed by his Son another Edward Anno 1658. And thirdly though I grant that Dr. Iames Montague Bishop of Winchester the second Brother of the four was of great power and favour in the time of King Iames. Thus far Dr. Heylin out of his Advertisements written in correction of Mr. Sandersons History of the Reign of King Iames. To rectifie this heap of Errors not to be paralleled in any Author pretending to the emendation of another I have here plainly set down the Male-pedegree of this Noble Numerous and successfull Family 1 Sir Edward Montague Lord Chief Justice in the Reign of King Henry the eighth 2 Sir Edward Montague a worthy Patriot in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth Sir Walter Montague Knight second Son died without Issue Sir Henry Montague third Son Earl of Manchester Lord Chief Justice Lord Treasurer c. Edw. Montague now Earl of Manchester besides other Sons 3 Sir Edward Montague made Knight of the Bath at the Coronation of King Iames never a Martialist and created by Him Baron Montague of Boughton dying in the beginning of the Civill Warres William Mountague Esq of the Middle-Temple second Son 4 Edward now Lord Montague of Boughton Ralfe Montague Esq second Son Edward Montague Esq eldest Son Christopher Montague third Son died before his Father being a most hopefull Gentleman Sir Charles Montague fourth Son who did good service in Ireland and left three Daughters and Co-heirs Iames Montague fifth Son Bishop of Winchester died unmarried Sir Sidney Montague sixth Son Master of the Requests Edward Montague now Admirall and one of the Lords of the Councel I presume the Animadvertor will allow me exact in this Family which hath reflected so fauourably upon me that I desire and indeed deserve to live no longer than whilest I acknowledg the same THE FOURTH BOOK From the first preaching of Wickliffe to the beginning of the Reign of King Henry the eighth Dr. Heylin OUR Author begins this Book with the Story of Wickliffe and continueth it in relating the successes of him and his followers to which he seems so much addicted as to Christen their Opinions by the name of the Gospel For speaking of such incouragements and helps as were given to Wickliffe by the Duke of Lancaster with other advantages which the conditions of those times did afford unto him he addeth That Fol. 129. We must attribute the main to Divine Providence blessing the Gospel A name too high to be bestowed upon the Fancies of a private man many of whose Opinions were so far from truth so contrary to peace and civil Order so inconsistent with the Government of the Church of Christ as make them utterly unworthy to be look'd on as a part of the Gospel Or if the Doctrines of Wickliffe must be call'd the Gospel what shall become of the Religion then establisht in the Realm of England and in most other parts of the Western World Were all but Wickliffes Followers relaps'd to Heathenism were they turn'd Jews or had imbrac'd the Law of Mahomet If none of these and that they still continued in the faith of Christ delivered to them in the Gospels of the four Evangelists and other Apostolicall Writers Wickliffes new Doctrines could not challenge the name of Gospel noâ— ought it to be given to him by the Pen of any But such is the humor of some men as to call every separation from the Church of Rome by the name of Gospel the greater the separation is the more pure the Gospel No name but that of Evangelici would content the Germans when they first separated from that Church and reformed their own And Harry Nichols when he separated from the German Churches and became the Father of Familists bestows the name of Evangelium Regni on his Dreams and Dotages Gospels of this kinde we have had and may have too many quot Capita tâ—t Fides as many Gospels in a manner as Sects and Sectaries if this world goe on Now as Wickliffes Doctrines are advanc'd to the name of Gospel so his Followers whatsoever they were must be called Gods servants the Bishops being said fol. 151. to be busie in persecuting Gods servants and for what crime soever they were brought to punishment it must be thought they suffered onely for the Gospel and the service of God A pregnant evidence whereof we have in the story of Sir Iohn Oldcastle accused in the time of King Harry the fifth for a design to kill the King and his Brethren actually in Arms against that King in the head of 20000 men attainted for the same in open Parliament and condemn'd to die and executed in St. Giles his Fields accordingly as both Sir Roger Acton his principal Counsellor and 37 of his Accomplices had been before For this we have not onely the Authority of our common Chronicles Walsingham Stow and many others but the Records of the Tower and Acts of Parliament as is confessed by our Author fol. 168. Yet coming out of Wickliffes Schools and the chief Scholar questionlesse which was train'd up in them he must be Registred for a Martyr in Fox his Calendar And though our Author dares not quit him as he sayes himself yet such is his tendernesse and respect to Wickliffes Gospel that he is loath to load his Memory with causlesse Crimes fol. 167. taxeth the Clergie of that time for their hatred to him discrediteth the relation of T. Walsingham and all later Authors who are affirm'd to follow him as the Flock their Belweather and finally leaves it as a special verdict to the last day of the Revelation of the righteous Iudgements of God Fuller First I fain would know whether the Animadvertor would be contented with the Condition of the Church of England as Wickliffe found it for Opinions and Practise and doth not earnestly desire a Reformation thereof I am charitably confident that He doth desire such an Emendation and therefore being both of us agreed in this Point of the convenience yea necessity thereof in the second place I would as fain be satisfied from the Animadvertor whether He conceived it possible that such Reformation could be advanced without Miracle all on a sodain so that many grosse Errors would not continue and some new one be superadded The man in the Gospel first saw men walking as trees before he saw perfectly Nature hath appointed the Twilight as a Bridge to passe us out of Night into Day Such false and wild opinions like the Scales which fell down from the Eyes of St. Paul when perfectly restored to his sight have either vanished or been banished out of all Protestant Confession Far be it from me to account the rest of England relapsed into Atheism or lapsed in Iudaism Turcism c. whom I behold as Erronious Christians
but Prudence in me to believe my self above such Trifles who have written a Book to Eternity Fourthly I regreat not to be Anvile for any ingenious Hammer to make pleasant musick on but it seems my Traducer was not so happy Lastly I remember a speech oâ— Sir Walter Rawleighs If any saith he speaketh against me to my face my Tongue shall give him an Answer but my back-side is good enough to return to him who abuseth me behind my back Dr. Heylyn In the next ranck of Impertinencies which are more intrinseall part of the substance of the work I account his Heraldry Blazons of Arms Descents of noble Families with their Atchivements intermingled as they come in his way not pertinent I am sure to a Church-Historian unless such persons had been Founders of Episcopal Sees or Religious-Houses or that the Arms so blazoned did belong to either Fuller I answer in generall Those passages of Heraldry are put in for variety and diversion to refresh the wearied Reader They are never used without asking of leave before or craving pardon after the inserting thereof and such craving is having a request in that kind with the Ingenious Grant it ill manners in the Author not to ask it is ill nature in the Reader not to grant so small a suit Mr. Camden in his description of Oxfordshire hath a prolixe though not tedious poeme of the marriage of Thame and Isis which he ushereth in with Si placet vel legas vel negligas read or reject either set by it or set it by as the Reader is disposed The same though not expressed is implied in all such Digressions which may be said to be left unprinted in Effect to such as like them not their Ploughs may make Balks of such deviations and proceed to more serious matter Dr. Heylyn Our Author tells us lib. 9. fol. 151. that knowledge in the Laws of this Land is neither to be expected or required in one of his profession and yet I trow considering the great influence which the Laws have upon Church-matters the knowledge of the Law cannot be so unnecessary in the way of a Clergy-man as the study of Heraldry But granting Heraldry to be an Ornament in all them that have it yet is it no ingredient requisit to the composition of an Ecclesiastical History The Copies of Battle-Abbey Roll fitter for Stow and Hollinshead where before we had them can in an History of the Church pretend to no place at all though possibly the names of some may be remembred as their Foundations or Endowments of Churches give occasion for it The Arms of Knight-Errant billeted in the Isle of Ely by the Norman Conqueror is of like extravagancy Such also is the Catalogue of those noble Adventurers with their Arms Issue and Atchievements who did accompany King Richard the first to the War of Palestine which might have better serv'd as an Appendix to his History of the Holy War then found a place in the main Body of an History of the Church of England Which three alone besides many intercalations of that kind in most parts of the Book make up eight sheets more inserted onely for the ostentation of his skill in Heraldry in which notwithstanding he hath fallen on as palpable Errors as he hath committed in his History Fuller Mr. Fox in his Acts and Monuments hath done the like presenting the names of such who came over at the Norman Conquest I have only made their Catalogue more complete And seeing it was preserved in Battle-Abbey the very addition of Abbey doth dye it with some Ecclesiastical tincture The Arms of the Knights of Ely might on a threefold title have escaped the Animadvertor's censure First they was never before printed Secondly the Wall whereon they were depicted is now demolished Lastly each Knight being blended or as I may say empaled with a Monk a Moiety of that Mixture may be construed reducible to Church-History As for the Arms of some signal persons atchieved in the HOLY-WAR If the Sirname of WAR be secular the Christian name thereof HOLY is Ecclesiastical and so rendred all actions therein within the latitude of Church-History to an ingenuous Reader Dr. Heylyn For besides those which are observed in the course of this work I find two others of that kind in his History of Cambridge to be noted there For fol. 146. he telleth us That Alice Countess of Oxford was Daughter and sole Heir of Gilbert Lord Samford which Gilbert was Hereditary Lord Chamberlain of England But by his leave Gilbert Lord Samford was never the hereditary Chamberlain of the Realm of England but only Chamberlain in Fee to the Queens of England betwixt which Offices how vast a difference there is let our Authour judge Fuller I plead in my own defence according to my last general Answer that I have charged my Margin with my Authoâ— Mr. Parker Fellow of Caius College in Cambridge one known for a most abâ—â— Antiquary but especially in Heraldry and I thought that he had lighten on some rare Evidence out of the ordinary road but seeing he was mistaken I will amend it God willing in my next Edition Dr. Heylyn And secondly The Honor of Lord Chamberlain of England came not unto the Earls of Oxford by that Marriage or by any other but was invested in that Family before they had attained the Title and Degree of Earls Conferred by King Henry the first on Aubrey de Vere a right puissant Person and afterwards on Aubrey de Vere his Son together with the Earldome of Oxford by King Henry the second continuing Hereditary in that House till the death of Robert Duke of Ireland the ninth Earl thereof and then bestowed for a time at the Kings discretion and at last setled by King Charls in the House of Lindsey Fuller This is nothing Confutatory of Me who never affirmed that the High-Chamberlainship accrued to the House of Oxford by any such match Dr. Heylyn But because being a Cambridge Man he may be better skill'd in the Earls of that County let us see what he saith of them and we shall find fol. 162. That Richard Plantagenet Duke of York was the eighth Earl of Cambridge Whereas first Richard Duke of York was not Earl of Cambridge Fuller He was he was he was as presently God willing will appear beyond all doubt and contradiction Dr. Heylyn And secondly If he had been such he must have been the seventh Earl and not the eighth For thus those Earls are marshalled in our Catalogues of Honor and Books of Heraldry viz. 1. William de Meschines 2. Iohn de Hainalt 3. William Marquess of Iuliers 4. Edmond of Langley D. of York 5. Edward D. of York 6. Richard de Conisburgh younger Brother of Edward 7. Iames Marquess Hamilton c. Fuller Indeed they are thus reckoned up in a late little and useful Book entituled The Help of History made as I am credibly informed by the Animadvertor himself and therefore by him wel
the Canon devested of the power of Doing it such vendition and emption being by the Common-Law preserved unto them though now very commendably long disused And whereas the Clergy in their Answer pretend all their Canons grounded on the Word of God I would fain be informed where they finde in the New-Testament which ought to regulate their proceedings that the power of the Church extendeth to life limb or estate Sure I am her censures appear spiritual on the soul by those expressions Binde on Earth Cast out Deliver to Satan c. But because the Reader reserveth a lager prosecution of this point for another time we will also respit our larger answer hereunto Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 24. Indeed 1. Davids had been Christian some hundred of years whilest Canterbury was yet Pagan Not many hundred years I am sure of that nor yet so many as to make a plural number by the Latin Grammer Kent being conquered by the Saxons who brought in Paganism Anno 455. Converted unto Christianity by the preaching of Austin Anno 569. Not much more than 140. years betwixt the one and the other Fuller The Christian Antiquity of St. David bare a double Date one native or inherent the other adopted and Reputative 1. The Inherent from the time that St. David fixed there on which account I believe it was no more than 140. years senior to Canterbury 2. The Reputative from the first founding of a Bishoprick at Carleon by King Lucius which indifferently stated was about the year of our Lord 169 which was four hundred years before Canterbury Now it is notoriously known that the antiquity of Carleon whence the See was removed in computation of the seniority is adjected to St. Davids her adopted Daughter Hence was it that the Abbot of Bancar in his Answer unto Austin acknowledged himself and his Convent under the Government of the Bishop of Carleon upon Uske though then no Bishop therein meaning St. Davids thereby as Dr. Hammond and others doe unanimously allow Thus grafting St. Davids as it ought on the Stock of Carleon it is senior in Christianity to Canterbury four hundred years and FOUR may be termed Some in the stricktest propriety of Language Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 29. To whose honour he viz. King Stephen erected St. Stephens Chappel in Westminster neer the place where lately the Court of Requests was kept Our Author is here mealy mouth'd and will not parler le tout as the French men say For otherwise he might have told us that this Chappel is still standing and since the surrendry of it to King Edward the sixth hath been used for a Parliament House imployed to that purpose by the Commons as it still continueth What might induce our Author to be thus reserved I can hardly tell unless it be to prevent such inferences and observations which by some wanton wits might be made upon it Fuller I hope rather some gracious hearts will make pious improvement thereupon praying to God that seeing so many signal persons are now assembled therein the very place once dedicated as a Chappel to St. Stephen may be their more effectual Remembrancer to imitate the purity and piety of that renowned Saint That so God may be invited graciously to be present amongst them to over-rule all their consultations to his Glory the Good of the Church and State and the true honour of the Nation And to this let every good man say Amen Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 40. By the same title from his Father Jeffery Plantagenet be possessed fair lands in Anjou and Maine I had thought he had possessed somewhat more in Anjou and Maine than some fair Lands onely his Father Ieffrey Plantagenet being the Proprietary Earl of Anjou Maine and Toureine not a titular onely succeeded in the same by this King Henry and his two sons Richard and Iohn till lost unhappily by the last with the rest of our Estates on that side of the Sea From this Ieffery descended fourteen Kings of the name of Plantagenet the name not yet extinguished though it be improverished Our Author speaking of one of them who was found not long since at the Plow Lib. 2. p. 170. Another of that name publishing a Book about the Plantation of New-Albion Anno 1646. or not long before Fuller The frequent and familiar figure of MOISIS will rectifie all wherby lesse is said than meant and therefore more must be understood than is said Besides it made me mince my expression being loath to exceed because this Ieffery did not to me appear though the Earl so intire in those Dominions but that the Kings of France and England had Cities and Castles interposed therein Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 53. King John sent a base degenerous and unchristian Embassage to Admitalius Mutmelius a Mahometan King of Morocco then very puissant and possessing a great part of Spain This Admiralius Murmelius as our Author and the old Monks call him was by his own name called Mahomet Enaser the Miramomoline of Morocco to whom if King Iohn sent any such Message it was as base unchristian and degenerate as our Author makes it Fuller I will ingenuously confesse that the first time I found this Story was in the Doctors Miâ—ro-cosm the novelty making me take the more notice thereof Though since I have met with it in M. Paris the fountain and other Authors the channels thereof I conceive it was as lawfull for me to relate it as for the Animadvertor who epitheis this Embassy BASE DEGENEROUS and UNCHRISTIAN the words which in me he reproveth Dr. Heylin But being the credit of the Tale depends upon the credit of the Monkish Authors to which brood of men that King was known to be a prosessed Enemy hating and hated by one another it is not to be esteemed so highly as a piece of Apocrypha and much lesse to be held for Gospel Fuller Here he rather speaks aliter than alia from what I had written on the same Subject who thus concluded the Character of King Iohn Church-Hist Book 3. pag. 54. We onely behold him Him thorough such a Light as the Friers his foes shew him in who so hold the candle that with the Shadow thereof they darken his virtues and present onely his Vices yea and as if they had also poysoned his memory they cause his faults to swell to a prodigious greatnesse making him with their pens more black in conditions than the Morocco King whose aid he requested could be in complexion Here I desire to give the Reader a â—aste of what doth frequently occur in this Book and of what I justly did complain viz. the Animadvertor sometimes not liking my language as not proper and expressive enough substituteth his own with little or no variation of matter I confesse he is not bound to use my words and such variations simply in it self is no wrong unto me but it becometh
alive to present it intire defecated from the calumniations of his Adversaries and therefore impossibilities are not to be expected from me Yet am I not such an Admirer of Wickliffe but that I beleeve he did defend some grosse Errors and it had been no wonder if it were but had been a miracle if it had not been so considering the frailty of flesh darknesse of the Age he lived in and difficulty of the Subject he undertook But because the Animadvertor referres to something following in my fifth Book I will also reserve my self for his Encounter in time and place appointed Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 152. He lies buried in the South Isle of St. Peters Westminster and since hath got the company of Spencer and Drayton Not Draytons company I am sure whose body was not buried in the South-Isle of that Church but under the North wall thereof in the main body of it not far from a little dore which openeth into one of the Prebends houses This I can say on certain knowledge being casually invited to his Funeral when I thought not of it though since his Statua hath been set up in the other place which our Author speaks of Fuller I follow the Information in his Epitaph on his Tombe near the South dore in Westminster Abbey Doe Pious Marble let the Readers know What they and what their Children owe To DRAITONS name whose sacred Dust We recommend unto thy trust Preserve his Memory and protect his Story Remain a lasting Monument of his Glory And When thy Ruine shall disclaim To be the Treasurer of his name His name which cannot dye shall be An Everlasting Monument to thee Have Stones learnt to Lye and abuse posterity Must there needs be a Fiction in the Epitaph of a Poet If this be a meer Cenotaph that Marble hath nothing to doe with Draitons Dust but let us proceed Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 153. The right to the Crown lay not in this Henry but in Edmund Mortimer Earl of March descended by his Mother Philippa from Lionel Duke of Clarence elder son to Edward the third I shall not now dispute the Title of the House of Lancaster though I think it no hard matter to defend it Fuller I think it is not onely difficult but impossible except the Animadvertor can challenge the Priviledge of the Patriarch Iacob to crosse his Hands and prefer the younger before the Elder Child in succession Again the Title of Lancaster may be considered either 1. As it was when Henry the fourth first found it 2. As it was when Henry the sixth last left it The latter of these was countenanced with many Laws corroborated with three descents and almost threescore years possession Know Reader my words are of the right where it was when Henry the fourth first seized the Crown and then he had not a Rag of Right to cover his Usurpation Instead of justifying whereof let us admire Gods free Pleasure in permitting the House of Lancaster to last so long his Iustice in assisting York afterwards to recover their Right and his Mercy at last in uniting them both for the happinesse of our Nation Dr. Heylin And much lesse shall I venture on the other controversie viz. whether a King may Legally be depos'd as is insinuated by our Author in the words foregoing Fuller If seems the Animadvertor finds little in my Book above ground for his purpose to cavil at because fain to Mine for my insinuations But let the Reader judge whether any man alive can from those my words the right lay not in this Henry but in Mortimer Earl of March infer an INSINUATION that Kings may legally be deposed This Insinuation must be in Sinu in the Bosom of the Animadvertor which never was in the breast of the Author More perspicacitie must be in the Organ than perspicuity in the Object to perceive such an Insinuation Dr. Heylin But I dare grapple with him in a point of Heraldry though I finde him better studied in it than in matter of History And certainly our Author is here out in his own dear Element Edmund Mortimer Earl of March not being the Son but Husband of the Lady Philippa Daughter of Lionel Duke of Clarence and Mother of Roger Mortimer Earl of March whom Richard the second to despite the house of Lancaster declared Heir apparent to the Kingdome of England 'T is true this Edmund was the Son of another Philippa that is to say of Philip Montacute wife of a former Roger Earl of March one of the founders of the Garter So that in whomsoever the best Title lay it lay not in this Edmond Mortimer as our Author makes it Fuller It is a meer casual slip of my Pen Edmund for Roger and this is the first time I crave the Benefit of this Plea in my defence Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 154. This is one of the clearest distinguishing Characters betwixt the Temporal and Spiritual Lords that the former are to be tryed per Pares by their Peers being Barons of the Realm Not shall I here dispute the point whether a Bishop may not challenge to be tryed by his Peers but whether the Bishops were not Barons and Peers of the Realm Our Author intimates that they were not but I think they were Fuller From a late Insinuation the Animadvertor now proceeds to a new Intimation of mine utterly unextractable from my words But know it never came into my minde to think that Bishops were not Peers who to my power will defend it against any who shall oppose it Dr. Heylin And this I think on the authority of the learned Selden in whom we finde that at a Parliament at Northampton under Henry the second the Bishops thus challenge their own Peerage viz. Non sedemus hic Episcopi sed Barones Nos Barones vos Barones Pares hic sumus that is to say We sit not here as Bishops onely but as Barons We are Barons and you are Barons here we sit as Peers Which last is also verified in terminis by the words of a Statute or Act of Parliament wherein the Bishops are acknowledged to be Peers of the Land And for further proof hereof Iohn Stratford Archbishop of Canterbury if I remember it aright being fallen into the displeasure of King Edward the third and denyed entrance into the House of Peers made his Protest that he was Primus par Regni the first Peer of the Realm and therefore not to be excluded from his place and Suffrage Fuller This indeed is one of the most ancient and pregnant Evidence of our Bishops sitting as Peers in Parliament But I suspect it may be mis-improved by the Back-friends to Bishops that they sate there onely in the Capacity of Peers and not a THIRD ESTATE Dr. Heylin But of this Argument enough if not too much as the case now stands it being an unhappy thing to consider what they have been formerly and what they are
King Henry the fifth Fuller This being allowed as indeed it is but a Pen-slip who is more faulty the Author in the cursorily committing or the Animadvertor in the deliberate censuring thereof Dr. Heylin But I cannot think so charitably of som other errors of this kind which I finde in his History of Cambridge fol. 67. Where amongst the English Dukes which carried the title of Earl of Cambridge he reckoneth Edmond of Langly fift son to Edward the third Edward his son Richard Duke of York his brother father to King Edward the fourth But first this Richard whom he speaks of though he were Earl of Cambridge by the consent of Edward his elder brother yet was he never Duke oâ— York Richard being executed at South-hampton for treason against King Harry the fifth before that Kings going into France and Edward his elder brother slain not long after in the Battail of Agincourt And secondly this Richard was not the Father but Grandfather of King Edward the fourth For being married unto Anne sister and heir unto Edmond Mortimer Earl of March he had by her a sonne called Richard improvidently restored in blood and advanced unto the Title of Duke of York by King Henry the sixth Anno 1426. Who by the Lady Cecely his wife one of the many Dâ—ughters of Ralph Earl of Westmerland was father of King Edward the fourth George Duke of Clarence and King Richard the third Thirdly as Richard Eâ—rl of Cambridge was not Duke of York so Richard Duke of York was not Earl of Cambridge though by our Author made the last Earle thereof Hist. of Cam. 162. before the restoring of that title on the House of the Hamiltons Fuller This hath formerly been answered at large in the Introduction wherein it plainly appeares that the last Richard was Duke of York and Earle of Cambridge though I confesse it is questionable whether his Father were Duke of York However it doth my work viz. That the Earldome of Cambridge was alwayes the first alone excepted conferred on either a forreign Prince or an English Peer of the Blood-royall an honour not communicated to any other Peere in England Dr. Heylin If our Author be no better at a pedegree in private Families then he is in those of Kings and Princes I shall not give him much for his Art of memory for his History lesse and for his Heraldry just nothing Fuller When I intend to expose them to sale I know where to meet with a francker Chapman None alive ever heard me pretend to the Art of memory who in my booke have decried it as a Trick no Art and indeed is more of fancy than memory I confesse some ten years since when I came out of the Pulpit of St. Dunstons-East One who since wrote a book thereof told me in the Vestry before credible people That he in Sydney Colledge had taught me the Art of memory I returned unto him that it was not so for I could not remember that I had ever seen his face which I conceive was a reall Refutation However seeing that a natural memory is the best flower in mine and not the worst in the Animadvertors garden Let us turn our competitions herein unto mutuall thinkfulnesse to the God of heaven Dr. Heylin But I see our Author is as good at the succession of Bishops as in that of Princes For saith he speaking of Cardinal Beaufort Fol. 185. He built the fair Hospital of St. Cross neere Winchester and although Chancellor of the Univesity of Oxford was no grand benefactor thereunto as were his Predecessors Wickam and Wainfleet Wickham and Wainfleet are here made the Predecessors of Cardinal Beaufort in the See of Winchester whereas in very deed though he succeeded Wickham in that Bishoprick he preceded Wainfleet For in the Catalogue of the Bishops of Winchester they are marshulled thus viz. 1365. 50. William of Wickham 1405. 51. Henry Beaufort 1447. 52. William de Wainfleet which last continued Bishop till the year 1485 the See being kept by these three Bishops above 120. years and thereby giving them great Advantages of doing those excellent works and founding those famous Colleges which our Author rightly hath ascribed to the first and last But whereas our Author â—elleth us also of this Cardinal Beaufort that he built the Hospital of St. Crosse he is as much out in that as he was in the other that Hospital being first built by Henry of Blais Brother of King Stephen and Bishop of Winchester Auno 1129. augmented onely and perhaps more liberally endowed by this Potent Cardinal From these Foundations made and enlarged by these three great Bishops of Winchester successively proceed we to two others raised by King Henry the sixth of which our Author telleth us Fuller What a peice of DON QUIXOTISME is this for the Animadvertor to fight in confutation of that which was formerly confessed These words being thus fairly entred in the Table of Errataes Book pag. line 4. 185. 22. read it thus of his Predecessor Wickham or Successor Wainfleet Faults thus fairly confessed are presumed fully forgiven and faults thus fully forgiven have their guilt returning no more In the Court Christian such might have been sued who upbraided their Neighbours for incontinence after they formerly had performed publique penance for the same And I hope the Reader will allow me Reparation from the Animadvertor for a fault so causlesly taxed after it was so clearly acknowledged and amended Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 183. This good precedent of the Archbishops bounty that is to say the foundation of All-souls Colledge by Archbishop Chicheley may be presumed a spur to the speed of the Kings liberality who soon after founded Eaton Colledge c. to be a Nursery to Kings Colledge in Cambridge fol. 184. Of Eaton Colledge and the condition of the same our Author hath spoken here at large but we must look for the foundation of Kings Colledge in the History of Cambridge fol. 77. where I finde something which requireth an Animadversion Our Author there chargeth Dr. Heylin for avowing something which he cannot justifie that is to say for saying That when William of Wainfleet Bishop of Winchester afterwards founder of Magdalen Colledge perswaded King Henry the Sixth to erect some Monument for Learning in Oxford the King returned Imo potius Cantabrigiae ut duas si fieri possit in Anglia Academias habeam Yea rather said he at Cambridge that if it be possible I may have two Universities in England As if Cambridge were not reputed one before the founding of Kings Colledge therein But here the premisses onely are the Doctors the inference or conclusion is our Authors own The Doctor infers not thereupon that Cambridge was not reputed an University till the founding of Kings Colledge by King Henry the sixth and indeed he could not for he acknowledged before out of Robert de Renington that it was made an University in the time of King Edward the second All
that the Doctor sayes is this that as the University of Cambridge was of a later foundation then Oxford was so it was long before it grew into esteem that is to say to such a measure of esteem at home or abroad before the building of Kings Colledge and the rest that followed but that the King might use those words in his discourse with the Bishop of Winchester And for the Narrative the Doctor whom I have talked with in this businesse doth not shame to say that he borrowed it from that great Treasury of Academical Antiquities Mr. Brian Twine whose learned Works stand good against all Opponents and that he found the passage justified by Sir Isaack Wake in his Rex Platonicus Two Persons of too great wit and judgement to relate a matter of this nature on no better ground than common Table-talk and that too spoke in merriment by Sir Henry Savil. Assuredly Sir Henry Savil was too great a Zealot for that University and too much a friend to Mr. Wake who was Fellow of the same Colledge with him to have his Table-talk and discourses of merriment to be put upon Record as grounds and arguments for such men to build on in that weighty Controversie And therefore when our Author tells us what he was told by Mr. Hubbard Mr. Hubbard by Mr. Barlow Mr. Barlow by Mr. Bust and Mr. Bust by Sir Henry Savil. It brings into my minde the like Pedegree of as true a Story even that of Mother Miso in Sir Philip Sidney telling the young Ladies an old Tale which a good old woman told her which an old wise man told her which a great learned Clerk told him and gave it him in writing and there she had it in her Prayer-book as here our Author hath found this on the end of his Creed Not much unlike to which is that which I finde in the Poet Quae Phaebo Pater omnipotens mihi Phoebus Apollo Praedixâ—t vobis Furiarum ego maxima pando That is so say What Iove told Phoebus Phoebus told to me And I the chief of Furies tell to thee Fuller The controversie betwixt us consists about a pretended Speech of King Henry the sixth to Bishop Wainfleet perswading him to found a Colledge at Oxford To whom the King is said to return Yea rather at Cambridge that if it be possible I may have two Universities in England A passage pregnant with an Inference which delivereth it self without any Midwifry to help it viz. that till the time of King Henry the sixth Cambridge was no or but an obsâ—ure University both being equally untrue The Animadvertor will have the speech grounded on good Authority whilest I more than suspect to have been the frolick of the fancie of S. Isaack Wake citing my Author for my beliefe which because removed four descents is I confesse of the lesse validity Yet is it better to take a Truth from the tenth than a Falshood from the first hand Both our Relations ultimately terminate in Sir Isaack Wake by the Animadvertor confessed the first printed Reporter thereof I confess S. I. Wake needed none but Sr. Isaack Wake to attest the truth of such thing which he had heard or seen himself In such Case his bare Name commandeth credit with Posterity But relating a passage done at distance some years before his great Grandfather was rockt in his Cradle we may and must doe that right to our own Iudgement as civily to require of him security for what he affirmeth especially seeing it is so clog'd with such palpable improbabilitie Wherefore till this Knights invisible Author be brought forth into light I shall remain the more confirmed in my former Opinion Rex Platonicus alone sounding to me in this point no more than Plato's Commonwealth I mean a meer Wit work or Brain-Being without any other real existence in Nature Dr. Heylin But to proceed Fol. 190. This was that Nevil who for Extraction Estate Alliance Dependents Wisdome Valour Success and Popularity was superiour to any English Subject since the Conquest Our Author speaks this of that Richard Nevil who was first Earl of Warwick in right of Anne his Wife Sister Heir of Henry Beauchamp the last of that Family and after Earl of Salisbury by discent from his Father a potent and popular man indeed but yet not in all or in any of those respects to be match'd with Henry of Bullenbrook son to Iohn of Gaunt whom our Author must needs grant to have lived since the time of the Conquest Which Henry after the death of his Father was Duke of Lancaster and Hereford Earl of Leicester Lincoln and Darby c. and Lord High Steward of England Possessed by the donation of King Henry the third of the County Palatine of Lancaster the forfeited Estates of Simon de Montfort Earl of Leicester Robert de Ferrars Earl of Darby and Iohn Lord of Monmouth By the compact made between Thomas Earl of Lancaster and Alice his Wife of the Honor of Pomfret the whole Estate of the Earl of Lincoln and a great part of the Estates of the Earl of Salisbury of the goodly Territories of Ogmore and Kidwelly in Wales in right of his descent from the Chaworths of the Honor and Castle of Hartford by the grant of King Edward the third and of the Honor of Tickhill in Yorkshire by the donation of King Richard the second and finally of a Moity of the vast Estate of Humphry de Bohun Earl of Hereford Essex and Northampton in right of his Wife So royal in his Extraction that he was Grandchilde unto one King Cousin-german to another Father and Grand-father to two more So popular when a private person and that too in the life of his Father that he was able to raise and head an Army against Richard the Second with which he discomfited the Kings Forces under the command of the Duke of Ireland So fortunate in his Successes that he not onely had the better in the Battail mentioned but came off with Honor and Renown in the War of Africk and finally obtained the Crown of England And this I trow renders him much Superior to our Authors Nevil whom he exceeded also in this particular that he dyed in his bed and left his Estates unto his Son But having got the Crown by the murther of his Predecessor it stai'd but two descents in his Line being unfortunately lost by King Henry the sixth of whom being taken and imprisoned by those of the Yorkish Faction our Author telleth us Fuller It never came into my thoughts to extend the Parallel beyond the line of Subjection confining it to such as moved only in that Sphere living and dying in the Station of a Subject and thus far I am sure I am â—ight that this our Nevil was not equal'd much lesse exceeded by any English-man since the Conquest As for Henry Duke of Lancaster his Coronet was afterwards turned into a Crown and I never intended comparison with one who became a
Rubrick indeed dyed with the blood of so many of both Nations slaine on that Occasion Our Author speakes this in Relation to the Scottish Tumults Anno 1637. In telling of which Story he runs as commonly elsewhere into many Errours For first those Miseries and that blood-shed was not caused by sending the Liturgy thither c. Fuller Seeing the Animadvertor denies the Liturgy to have had any Causall influence on the Scots War I must manifest my dissent from his Iudgement and here I crave the Reader 's leave to be his humble Remembrancer of the Kinds of Causes so far as they conduce to the clearing of the present Controversie Causes are twofold Solitary or Totall 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Ioynt and fellow Causes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The latter againe is twofold Proegumena long leading before and inwardly disposing and inclining to Action or Procatarctica called also Causa irritatrix or Primitiva provocans which is outwardly impulsive to Action The former is tearmed by Physitians Causa Antecedens the latter Causa Evidens of a disease Thus in a Feaver corrupt humours bred within and without the Veines are the Antecedent cause thereof whilst being in the hot Sun walking in the South-wind c. stopping the Pores and stirring the ill Humours to heat may be the evident cause of a Feaver I thus apply it The inward discontents of the Scots on severall accounts which follow on the next Paragraph were the Antecedent causes of their War whilst the evident Cause thereof was the Obtruding the Liturgy upon them And so much for my cleare sense in this Controversie Dr. Heylyn The Plot had been laid long before upon other grounds that is to say Questioning of some Church Lands then in the hands of some great Persons of which they feared a Rovocation to the Crown And secondly the manumitting of some poor subjects from the tyranny and vassallage which they lived under in respect of their Tithes exacted with all cruelty and injustice by those whom they call the Lords of new erection Which Plot so laid there wanted nothing but some popular occasion for raising a Tumult first a Rebellion afterwards and this occasion they conceived they had happily gain'd by sending the new Liturgy thither though ordered by their own Clergy first as our Author tells us at the Assembly of Aberdeen Anno 1616. and after aâ— Perth Anno 1618. and fashioned for the most part by their own Bishops also But of this there hath so much been said between the Observator and his Antagonist that there is nothing necessary to be added to it Secondly there was no such matter as the passing of an Act of Revocation for the restoring of such Lands as had been alienated from the Crown in the minority of the Kings Predecessors of which he tells us fol. 192. The King indeed did once intend the passing of such an Act but finding what an Insurrection was likely to ensue upon it he followed the safer counsell of Sir Archibald Acheson by whom he was advis'd to sue them in his Courts of Justice Which course succeeding to his wish so terrified many of those great persons who had little else but such Lands to maintain their Dignities that they never thought themselves secure as long as the King was in a condition to demand his own Thirdly though it be true enough that some persons of honour had been denied such higher Titles as they had desired fol. 163. yet was it not the denying of such Titles unto Men of Honour which wrought these terrible effects but the denying of an honorary Title to a man of no honour If Colonel Alexander Lesly an obscure fellow but made rich by the spoils and plunder of Germany had been made a Baron when he first desired it the rest of the male-contents in Scotland might have had an heart though they had no head But the King not willing to dishonour so high a Title by conferring it on so low a person denyed the favour Which put the man into such a heat that presently he joyned himself to the faction there drove on the plot and finally undertook the command of their Armies Rewarded for which notable service with the Title of Earl of Levin by the King himself he could not so digest the injury of the first refusall but that he afterwards headed their Rebellions upon all occasions Fuller Little opposition against some variation from and more addition unto what I have written is herein contained Which if tending to the Reader his clearer information I am right glad thereof and wish him all happinesse therein Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds fol. 163. Generally they excused the King in their writings as innocent therein but charged Arch-bishop Laud as the principall and Dr. Cousins as the instrumentall compiler thereof This is no more then we had reason to expect from a former passage liâ— 4. fol. 193. where our Author telleth us that the Scotish Bishops withdrew themselves from their obedience to the See of York in the time when George Nevil was Arch-bishop And then he adds Hence-forwards no Arch-bishop of York medled more with Church-matters in Scotland and happy had it been if no Arch-bishop of Canterbury had since interressed himsâ—lf therein His stomack is so full of choller against this poor Prelate that he must needs bring up some of it above an hundred years before he was born Fuller What could more calmly be written Perchance some cold flegme but nothing of choller is in the expression I say again It had been happy for King Queen Royall Issue Church State the Arch-bishop himself Animadvertor Author Reader All England Dr. Heylyn Hence is it that he takes together all reports which makes against him and sets them down in rank and file in the course of this History If Arch-bishop Abbot be suspended from his Jurisdiction the blame thereof was laid on Arch-bishop Laud as if not content to succeed he endeavoured to supplant him fol. 128. The King sets out a Declaration about lawfull Sports the reviving and enlarging of which must be put upon his account also some strong presumptions being urged for the proof thereof fol. 147. The reduction of the Church to her antient Rules and publick Doctrines must be nothing else but the enjoyning of his own private practises and opinions upon other men fol. 127. And if a Liturgy be compos'd for the use of the Church of Scotland Who but he must be charged to be the Compiler of it Fuller If all the places here cited are passed already they have received their severall Answers if any of them be to come they shall receive them God-willing in due time that so for the present we may be silent to prevent repetition Dr. Heylyn But what proofs have we for all this Onely the malice of his enemies or our Authors own disaffection to him or some common fame And if it once be made a fame it shall pass for truth and as a truth find place
my owne Action too high have not farced the first page of my Book like a Mountebanks Bill pretending no higher but to ENDEVOUR CHAP V. The Second Generall Answer That many especially MEMORY Mistakes and Pen-slips must be expected in a great Volume IT is the Advantage of a Small Book that the Authors Eye may in a manner be Incumbent at once over it all from the Beginning to the End thereof a Cause why they may be more exactly corrected A Garden hard by ones House is easier Weeded and Trimmed than a Field lying at some distance Books which swell to a great Volume cannot be spun with so even a Thread but will run courser here and there yea and have Knots in them sometimes whereof the Author is not so sensible as the Reader as the Faults in Children are not so soon found in them by their own Fathers as by Strangers Thus the Poet Verum opere in Longo Fas est obrepere somnum As for MEMORY-MISTAKES which are not the Sleeping bnt Winking of an Author they are so far from overthrowing the Credit of any Book as a speck not paring-deep in the rind of an apple is from proving of the same rotten to the core Yea there want not learned Writers whom I need not name of the Opinion that even the Instrumental Pen-men of the Scripture might commit 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 though open that window to profaneness and it will be in vain to shut any dores Let God be true and every man a lyer However I mention their judgments to this purpose to shew that Memory-mistakes have not been counted such hainous matters but venial in their own nature as not only finding but deserving pardon I confess when such mistakes become common and customary in an Author they mar the credit of his Book and intollerably abuse the Reader Nothing is lighter in it self than a single crumb of Sand yet many of them put together are the heavyest of bodily burdens Heavier than the Sand on the Sea What is slight in it self if numerous will become ponderous but I hope that Memory-mistakes and Pen-slips in my Book will not be found so frequent and desire the benefit of this Plea to be allowed me but four times in my Answer to the Animadvertor A Number low enough I hope for the Ingenuous Reader to grant though perchance too high for me to request CHAP. VI. The Third General Answer That in Intire Stories of impregnable Truth it is facile for one to Cavill with some Colour at Dismembred Passages therein IT is an Act as easie as unjust for one to assault a naked Sentence as it stands by it self disarmed of the Assistance of the coherence before and after it all Sentences except they be intire and independent have a double strength in them one Inherent the other relative and the latter sometimes greater than the former when what in a Sentence is doubtful is explained difficult expounded defective supplyed yea seemingly false rendred really true by the Connexion We read in the Life of St. Edward that Harold Cup-bearer to the King chanced to stumble with the one foot that he almost kissed the Ground but with the other Leg he recovered himself whereat his Father Godwin Earl of Kent then dining with the King said Now one Brother doth help another to whom the King replyed And so might my Brother have helped me if it had so pleased you Many times when one Sentence in my Book hath had a Casual slip the next to it out of Fraternal kindness would have held it up in the apprehension of the Reader from falling into any Great Error had the Animadvertor so pleased who uncharitably cutteth it off from such support so that one Brother cannot help another whilest he representeth mangled and maimed Passages to the Disadvantage of the Sense and VVriter thereof Thus one may prove Atheisme out of Scripture it self There is no God But what went before The fool hath said in his heart I have dealt more fairly in this my Appeal with the Animadvertor and have not Here and There picked out Parcels and cut off Shreads where they make most for my advantage but have presented the whole Cloath of his Book as he will find so if pleasing to measure it over again Length and Breadth and List and Fag and all that so the Reader may see of what Wool it is made and what Thread it is spun and thereby be the better enabled to pass his verdict upon it CHAP. VII The Fourth General Answer That FAVOVR of COVRSE is indulged to the first as least perfect Edition of Books THe first Edition of a Book in a difficult Subject hath ever been beheld as less complete and a liberty of Correcting and Amending hath been allowed to all Authors of this kind I will instance in his Book whose Books would I was worthy to bear Mr. Camden's Britania His first Edition was a Babe in a little the second a Childe in a bigger Octavo the third a Youth in a Quarto but Map-less the last a Man in a fair Folio first and last differing more then a Gally and Galeas not onely in the Greatness but Perfection every newer Edition amending the Faults of the former Next we will insist in another Author above all exception even the Animadvertor himself who in his Epistle to the Reader before the Second and much altered Edition of his MICROCOSME thus expresseth himself not unhappily either for his owne or my purpose I am not the first of whom it was said Secundae Cogitationes sunt meliores neither is it a thing rare for Children of this nature to be as often perfected as born Books have an Immortality above their Authors They when they are full of Age and Guiltiness can be retaken into the wombe which bred them and with a new Life receive a greater Portion of Youth and Glory Every Impression is to them another being and that alwayes may and often doth bring with it a sweeter Edition of Strength and Loveliness Thus with them Age and each several Death is but an Usher to a new Birth each several Birth the mother of a more vigorous Perfection Had the like liberty of a Second Edition been allowed me which the Animadvertor assumed his pains had been prevented and most of the Faults he hath found in my Book being either derected by my self or discovered by my Friends communicating the same unto me had been rectified Thus in the Latin Tongue the same word SECUNDUS signifieth both Second and Successful because Second Undertakings wherein the failings of the former are observed and amended generally prove most Prosperous But it will be Objected Such Second Editions with new Insertions Additions and Alterations are no better than Pick-pockets to the Reader who having purchased and perused the first Edition is by this new one both in his purse and pains equally abused and his Book rendred little better than Waste paper I Answer First I am
superstition quarrelling at the Circumstances and Ceremonies which are used And this they doe saith he ibid. either displeased at the Collect consisting of the first nine verses of the Gospel of St. John as wholly improper and nothing relating to the occasion c. Our Author tels us more than once lib. 11.167 of his being a Clerk of the Convocation but I finde by this that he never came so high as to be Clerk of the Closet Fuller I never was nor the Animadvertor neither Clerk of the Closet Non tanto me dignor honore But I have had the honor to see the King solemnly Heal in the Quire of the Cathedral of Sarisbury though being so long since I cannot recover all particulars Dr. Heylin Which had he been he would not have mistaken the Gospel for a Collect or touched upon that Gospel which is lesse material without insisting on the other which is more pertinent and proper to the work in hand or suffered the displeased party to remain unsatisfied about the sign of the Crosse made by the Royal Hands on the place infected as it after followed when there is no such crossing used in that sacred Ceremony the King only gently drawing both his hands over the sore at the reading of the first Gospel Fuller I fully satisfie the displeased party if he be not through weaknesse nor wilfulnesse incapable thereof about the Sign of the Crosse in those my words immediately following All which exceptions fall to the ground when it shall be avowed That the Kings bare Hands notwithstanding the omission of such Ceremonies have effected the Healing Take it pray as since it is set down in more ample manner in a late Book which I know not whither it be more learned in it self or usefull to others All along K. Edward the sixth and Queen Elizabeth her reign when the Strumosi such as had the Kings-Evil came to be touch'd the manner was then for Her to apply the Sign of the Crosse to the Tumor which raising a cause of Jealousies as if some mysterious Operation were imputed to it That wise and learned King not only with his Son the late King practically discontinued it but ordered it to be expunged out of the prayers relating to the Cure which hath proceeded as effectually that omission notwithstanding as ever before Dr. Heylin But that both he and others may be satisfied in these particulars I have thought fit to lay down the whole form of prayers and readings used in the healing of that malady in this manner following The form of the Service at the healing of the Kings-Evil THe first Gospel is exactly the same with that on Ascension day At the touching of every infirm person these words are repeated They shall lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover The second Gospel begins the first of St. Iohn and ends at these words Full of grace and truth At the putting the Angel about their necks were repeated That Light was the true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world Lord have mercy upon us Christ have mercy upon us Lord have mercy upon us Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy Name c. Min. O Lord save thy servants Answ. Which put their trust in thee Min. Send unto them help from above Answ. And evermore mightily defend them Min. Help us O God our Saviour Answ. And for the glory of thy Names sake deliver us be mercifull unto us sinners for thy Names sake Min. O Lord hear our prayer Answ. And let our cry come unto thee The Collect. Almighty God the eternal health of all such as put their trust in thee Hear us we beseech thee on the behalf of these thy servants for whom we call for thy mercifull help that they receiving health may give thanks unto thee in thy holy Church through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen The peace of God c. This is the whole form against which nothing is objected but the using of the words before mentioned at the putting on of the Angel the pertinency whereof may appear to any who consider that the Light which was the true Light and lighteth every man which cometh into the world did not shine more visibly at the least more comfortably upon the people than in the healing of so many sick infirm and leprous persons as did from time to time receive the benefit of it But it is time I should proceed Fuller I perceive by this office that I have mistaken the Gospel for the the Collect which in the next Edition God willing shall be rectified Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 148. These chose Harald to be King whose title to the Crown is not worth our deriving of it much lesse his relying on it A Title not so despicable as our Author makes it nor much inferiour unto that by which his predecessor obtain'd the Kingdome Harald being son to Earl Godwin the most potent man of all the Saxons by Theyra the natural daughter of Canutus the first was consequently Brother by the whole blood to Harald Harfagar and Brother by the half blood to Canutus the second the two last Danish Kings of England In which respect being of Saxon Ancestry by his Father and of the Danish Royal blood by his Mother he might be lookT on as the fittest person in that conjuncture to content both Nations But whatsoever his Title was it was undoubtedly better than that of the Norman had either his success been answerable or his sword as good Fuller It was a despicable Titâ—le even after the Animadvertor hath befriended it with his most advantageous representing thereof 1. From his Father Earl Godwin the most potent man of Saxon Ancestry 2. From his Mother Theyra the natural Daughter of Canutus the first As to his Paternal Title if his Fathers potencie was all can be alledged for it any Oppressor hath the same right His Maternal Title if from Canutus his natural understand base Daughter openeth a Dore as I may say for all who come in by the window Besides the Animadvertor is much mistaken in the name of his Mother seeing Mr. Camden saith E Githâ Suenonis Regis Danici Sorore natuâ— fuit He was born of Githa Sister to Sweno King of Denmark Dr. Heylin Upon occasion of which Conquest our Author telleth us that Ibid. This was the fifth time wherein the South of this Island was conquered first by Romans secondly by Picts and Scots thirdly by Saxons fourthly by the Danes and fifthly by the Norman But this I can by no means yeeld to the Scots and Picts not being to be nam'd amongst those Nations who subdued the South part of this Island That they did many times harrass and depopulate the South part of it I shall easily grant but to the subduing of a Countrey there is more required than to waste and spoil it that is to say to fix their dwelling and abode for some time at least in the
principal Articles and main branches of it Fuller It is an hard question and yet perchance more dangerous than difficult to answer but the reason I dare alledge is this Even so Father because it pleased thee Let me add that such conscientious observers thereof which have proved unsuccessefull may esteem their losses as Sweet-Bryar and Holy-Thistle and more cordially comfort themselves in such sanctified afflictions than the Infringers of their Charter could content themselves in their successefull oppression I cannot part from this point till I have inserted that Sir Robert Cotton one who had in him as much of the Gentleman Antiquarie Lawyer good Subject and good Patriot as any in England was the Author in his short view of the long reign of King Henry the third who made the observation of those most successefull Kings by whom the Grand-Charter was most conscienciously observed Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 88. The poor Jews durst not goe into France whence lately they had been solemnly banished but generally disposed themselves in Germany and Italy The poor Iews are more beholding to our Author for his commiseration than the high Royalists as he cals them in the former passage But poor or rich they might have passed safely into France had they been so minded For though he tell us that they had been solemnly banished out of France before this time yet either such banishment was repealed or temporary only or as I rather think not so much as sentenced Certain I am our learned Brerewood upon a diligent enquiry hath found it otherwise than our Author doth letting us know That the first Countrey in Christendome whence the Jews were expelled without hope of return was our Countrey of England whence they were banished Anno 1290. by King Edward the first and not long after out of France Anno 1307. by Philippus Pulcher. Not out of France first out of England afterwards as our Author would have it Fuller I wonder any good Christians would be offended with me for pittying them by the name poor Iews If any High royalist as I fear there is too many be in low Estate would it were as well in my power to relieve as to pitty them Till when they shall have my prayers that God would give them patience and support them in their deepest distresse The Author will find that though the Great General and Final banishment of the Jews out of France was Anno 1307. under Philip the Fair yet formely there had been Edicts for their Exile thence Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 100. Thus men of yesterday have pride too much to remember what they were the day before An observation true enough but not well applyed The two Spencers whom he speaks this off were not men of yesterday or raised out of the dirt or dunghill to so great an height but of as old and known Nobility as the best in England insomuch that when a question grew in Parliament whether the Baronesse de Spencer or the Lord of Aburgaveny were to have precedency it was adjudg'd unto de Spencer thereby declar'd the ancientest Barony of the Kingdome at that time then being These two Hughâ—he â—he Father was created Earl of Winchester for term of life and Hugh the Son by marrying one of the Daughters and co-heirs of Gilbert de Clare became Earl of Glocester Men more to be commended for their Loyalty than accused for their pride but that the King was now declining and therefore it was held fit by the prevalent faction to take his two supporters from him as they after did Fuller The two Spencers fall under a double consideration and are beheld in History for their extraction either as Absolutely in themselves Comparatively with others Absolutely they were of honourable parentage and I believe the Elder might be born a Baron whose Baronry by the Heir general is still extant in Mildmay Fane Earl of Westmorland and from the younger House of a Male Heir the Lord Spencer of Wormelayton now Earl of Sunderland doth as I have seen in his Pedigree derive himself Comparatively So were they far inferiour to most of those great persons over whom they insulted being originally Earls and some of them of Royall extraction Again the Two Spencers may and ought by an Historian to be considered as to be 1. Commended for their Loyalty 2. Condemned for their Insolency On the first account they deserve just praise and it is probable enough that they finde the lesse Favour from some Pens for being so Faithfull to so unfortunate a Soveraigne The latter cannot be excused appearing too plain in all our Histories Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 113. The Lord Chancellor was ever a Bishop If our Author by this word ever understands 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 most commonly or for the most part he is right enough but then it will not stand with the following words viz. as if it had been against equity to imploy any other therein And on the other side if he take the word ever in its proper and more natural sense as if none but Bishops had ever been advanced unto that office he doth not onely misinform the Reader but confute himself he having told us fol. 31. of this present book that Thomas Becket being then but Archdeacon of Canterbury was made Lord Chancellor and that as soon as he was made Archbishop he resign'd that office But the truth is that not onely men in holy Orders but many of the Laity also had attained that dignity as will appear to any who will take the pains to consult the Catalogue of the Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal in the Glossary of Sir Henry Spelman in which appear not onely some of inferior dignity as Deans Archdeacons House-hold Chaplains but many also not dignified with any Ecclesiastical Title or Notification and therefore in all probability to be looked on as meer Lay-men Counsellors and Servants to the Kings in whose times they lived or otherwise studied in the Laws and of good affections and consequently capable of the place of such trust and power Fuller May the Reader take notice that this complaint was made by the Commons in the 11th of Edward the 3d Anno 1336. Now Ever I here restrain to the oldest man alive then present in Parliament who could not distinctly remember the contrary from the first of King Edward the first who began his Reign 1272. so that for full 64. years an uninterrupted series of Bishops except possibly one put in pro tempore for a moneth or two possessed the place of Chancellors This complaint of the Commons occasioned that the King some three years after viz. in the fifteenth year of his reign conferred the Chancellors place on a Layman But it was not long before things returned to the old channel of Clergy-men and so generally for many years continued with some few and short interpositions of Lay-men Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 116.

That States-men do admire how blinde the Policy of that Age was in keeping King Henry alive there being no such sure Prison as a Grave for a Capâ—ive King whose life though in restraint is a fair mark for the full Aim of mal-contents to practise his enlargement Our Author might have spar'd this Doctrine so frequently in practise amongst the worldly Politicians of all times and ages that there is more need of a Bridle to holde them in than a Spur to quicken them Parce precor stimulis fortiùs utere loris had been a wholesome caveat there had any friend of his been by to have advis'd him of it The murthering of depos'd and Captive Princes though too often practised never found Advocates to plead for it and much lesse Preachers to preach for it untill these latter times First made a Maxim of State in the School of Machiavel who layes it down for an Aphorisme in point of policy viz. that great Persons must not at all be touched or if they be must be made sure from taking Revenge inculcated afterwards by the Lord Gray who being sent by King Iames to intercede for the life of his Mother did underhand solicite her death and whispered nothing so much in Queen Elizabeths eares as Mortua non mordet if the Scots Queen were once dead she would never bite But never prest so home never so punctually appli'd to the case of Kings as here I finde it by our Author of whom it cannot be affirm'd that he speaks in this case the sense of others but positively and plainly doth declare his own No such divinity preach'd in the Schools of Ignatius though fitter for the Pen of a Mariana than of a Divine or Minister of the Church of England Which whether it passed from him before or since the last sad accident of this nature it comes all to one this being like a two-hand-sword made to strike on both sides and if it come too late for instruction will serve abundantly howsoever for the justification Another note we have within two leaves after as derogatory to the Honour of the late Archbishop as this is dangerous to the Estate of all Soveraign Princes if once they chance to happen into the hands of their Enemies But of this our Author will give me an occasion to speake more in another place and then he shall heare further from me Fuller My words as by me laid down are so far from being a two-handed sword they have neither hilt nor blade in them only they hold out an Handle for me thereby to defend my self I say States-men did admire at the preserving King Henry alive and render their reason If the Animadvertor takes me for a Statesman whose generall Judgement in this point I did barely relate he is much mistaken in me Reason of State and Reason of Religion are Stars of so different an Horison that the elevation of the One is the depression of the other Not that God hath placed Religion and Right Reason diametrically opposite in themselves so that where-ever they meet they must fall out and fight but Reason bowed by Politicians o their present Interest that is Achitophelesme is Enmity to Religion But the lesse we touch this harsh string the better musick Dr. Heylin Now to goe on Fol. 197. The Duke requested of King Richard the Earldome of Hereford and Hereditary Constableship of England Not so it was not the Earldom that is to say the Title of Earl of Hereford which the Duke requested but so much of the Lands of those Earls as had been formerly enjoy'd by the House of Lancaster Concerning which we are to know that Humphry de Bohun the last Earl of Hereford left behinde him two Daughters onely of which the eldest called Eleanor was married to Thomas of Woodsâ—ock Duke of Gloster Mary the other married unto Henry of Bullenbrook Earl of Darby Betwixt these two the Estate was parted the one moity which drew after it the Title of Hereford falling to Henry Earl of Darby the other which drew after it the Office oâ— Constable to the Duke of Gloâ—ester But the Duke of Glocester being dead and his estate coming in fine unto his Daughter who was not able to contend Henry the fifth forced her unto a sub-division laying one half of her just partage to the other moity But the issue of Henry of Bullenbrook being quite extinct in the Person of Edward Prince of Wales Son of Henry the sixth these three parts of the Lands of the Earls of Hereford having been formerly incorporated into the Duchy of Lancaster remained in possession of the Crown but were conceiv'd by this Duke to belong to him as being the direct Heir of Anne Daughter of Thomas Duke of Glocester and consequently the direct Heir also of the House of Hereford This was the sum of his demand Nor doe I finde that he made any suit for the Office of Constable or that he needed so to doe he being then Constable of England as his Son Edward the last Duke of Buckingham of that Family was after him Fuller The cause of their variance is given in differently by several Authors Some say that at once this Duke requested three things of King Richard 1. Power 2. Honor 3. Wealth First Power to be Hereditary Constable of England not to hold it as he did pro arbitrio Regis but in the right of his descent Secondly Honor the Earldome of Hereford Thirdly Wealth that partage of Land mentioned by the Animadvertor I instanced onely in the first the pride of this Duke being notoriously known to be more than his covetousnesse not dâ—nying but that the Kings denyal of the Land he requested had an effectual influence on his discontent Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 169. At last the coming in of the Lord Stanley with three thousand fresh men decided the controversie on the Earls side Our Author is out in this also It was not the Lord Stanley but his Brother Sir William Stanley who came in so seasonably and thereby turn'd the Scale and chang'd the fortune of the day For which service he was afterward made Lord Chamberlain of the new Kings Houshold and advanc'd to great Riches and Estates but finally beheaded by that very King for whom and to whom he had done the same But the King look'd upon this action with another eye And therefore when the merit of his service was interposed to mitigate the Kings displeasure and preserve the maâ— the King remembred very shrewdly that as he came soon enough to win
have thought that to call him an Advocate for the Stews had not been enough But that Doctor was not half so wise as our Author is and doth not fit each Argument with a several Antidote as our Author doth hoping thereby but vainly hoping that the arguments alledged will be wash'd away Some of our late Criticks had a like Designe in marking all the wanton and obscene Epigrams in Martial with a Hand or Asterism to the intent that young Scholars when they read that Author might be fore-warn'd to passe them over Whereas on the contrary it was found that too many young fellows or wonton wits â—s our Author calls them did ordinarily skip over the rest and pitch on those which were so mark't and set out unto them And much I fear that it will so fall out with our Author also whose Arguments will be studied and made use of when his Answers will not Fuller The commendable Act of King Henry the eighth in suppressing the Stews may well be reported in Church-History it being recorded in Scripture to the eternal praise of King Asa that he took away the Sodomites out of the Land I hope my collection of arguments in confutation of such Styes of Lust will appear to any rational Reader of sufficient validity Indeed it is reported of Zeuxes that famous Painter that he so lively pictured a Boy with a Rod in his hand carrying a Basket of Grapes that Birds mistaking them for real ones peckt at them and whilest others commended his Art he was angry with his own work-manship confessing that if he had made the Boy but as well as the Grapes the Birds durst not adventure at them I have the same just cause to be offended with my own indeavors if the Arguments against those Schools of Wantonnesse should prove insufficient though I am confident that if seriously considered they doe in their own true weight preponderate those produced in favour of them However if my well-intended pains be abused by such who onely will feed on the poisons wholy neglecting the Antidotes their destruction is of themselves and I can wash my hands of any fault therein But me thinks the Animadvertor might well have passed this over in silence for fear of awaking sleeping wontonnesse jogged by this his Note so that if my Arguments onely presented in my Book be singly this his Animadversion is doubly guilty on the same account occasioning loose eyes to reflect on that which otherwise would not be observed Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 253. Otherwise some suspect had he survived King Edward the sixth we might presently have heard of a King Henry the ninth Our Author speaks this of Henry Fitz Roy the Kings natural Son by Elizabeth Blunt and the great disturbance he might have wrought to the Kings two daughters in their Succession to the Crown A Prince indeed whom his Father very highly cherished creating him Duke of Somerset and Richmond Earl of Nottingham and Earl Marshal of England and raising him to no small hopes of the Crown it self as appears plainly by the Statute 22 H. 8. c. 7. But whereas our Author speaks it on a supposition of his surviving King Edward the sixth he should have done well in the first place to have inform'd himself whether this Henry and Prince Edward were at any time alive together And if my Books speak true they were not Henry of Somerset and Richmond dying the 22 of Iuly Anno 1536. Prince Edward not being born till the 12 of October Anno 1537. So that if our Author had been but as good at Law or Grammar as he is at Heraldry he would not have spoke of a Survivor-ship in such a case when the one person had been long dead before the other was born Fuller Terms of Law when used not in Law-Books nor in any solemn Court but in common Discourse are weaned from their critical sense and admit more latitude If the word surviving should be tied up to legal strictnesse Survivour is appliable to none save onely to such who are Ioint-tenants However because co-viving is properly required in a Survivor those my words had he survived shall be altered into had he lived to survive Prince Edward and then all is beyond exception Dr. Heylin These incoherent Animadversions being thus passed over we now proceed to the Examination of our Authors Principles for weakning the Authority of the Church and subjecting it in all proceedings to the power of Parliaments Concerning which he had before given us two Rules Preparatory to the great businesse which we have in hand First that the proceedings of the Canon Law were subject in whatsoever touched temporals to secular Laws and National Customes And the Laitie at pleasure limited Canons in this behalf Lib. 3. n. 61. And secondly that the King by consent of Parliament directed the proceedings of the Ecclesiastical Court in cases of Heresie Lib. 4. n. 88. And if the Ecclesiastical power was thus curbed and fettered when it was at the highest there is no question to be made but that it was much more obnoxious to the secular Courts when it began to sink in reputation and decline in strength How true and justifiable or rather how unjustifiable and false these two principles are we have shewn already and must now look into the rest which our Author in pursuance of the main Design hath presented to us But first we must take notice of another passage concerning the calling of Convocations or Synodical meetings formerly called by the two Archbishops in their several Provinces by their own sole and proper power as our Author grants fol. 190. to which he adds Fol. 190. But after the Statute of Premunire was made which did much restrain the Papal power and subject it to the Laws of the Land when Arcbishops called no more Convocations by their sole and absolute command but at the pleasure of the King In which I must confesse my self to be much unsatisfied though I finde the same position in some other Authors My reasons two 1. Because there is nothing in the Statuâ—e of Praemunire to restrain the Archbishops from calling these meetings as before that Act extending onely to such as purchase or pursue or cause to be purchased or pursued in the Court of Rome or elsewhere any such Translations Processes Sentences of Excommunication Bulls Instruments or any other things whatsoever which touch the King against him his Crown and his Regality or his Realm or to such as bring within the Realm or them receive or make thereof notification or any other Execution whatsoever within the same Realm or without c. And secondly because I finde in the Statute of the submission of the Clergy that it was recognized and acknowledged by the Clergie in their Convocation that the Convocation of the said Clergie is alwaies hath been and ought to be assembled alwaies by the Kings Writ And if they had been alwaies call'd by the Kings Writ then
a fourth part of Protestants according to his own principles For if no Priests in France Low Countries Swisserland c. then no Sacraments then no Church then no Salvation Far more Charitie in those of the former Age. Bishop Andrews when he concurred with others of his own order in ordaining a Scotishman Bishop who as by proportion of time may be demonstrated received his Deaconship and Pristhood from the Presbytery conceived such ordination of validity when done though I beleeve in his judgement not so well approving the doing thereof Otherwise he would never have consented to make a meer Lay man per saltum a Bishop Dr. Heylin First for the Sabbath for the better day the better deed having repeated the chief heads of Dr. Bounds Book published Anno 1595. in which the Sabbatarian Doctrines were first set on foot he adds that learned men were much divided in their judgements about the same Fol. 228. Some saith he embraced them as ancient truths consonant to Scripture long disused and neglected now seasonably revived for the encrease of piety Amongst which some he that shall take our Author for one will not be much mistaken either in the man or in the matter For that he doth approve Bounds Doctrines in this particular c. Fuller The Animadvertor imposeth on me that which is contrary to my Judgemens I am not of Dr. Bounds Opinion who straineth the Sabbath too high yea the Animadvertor when writing against Mr. Le strange maketh use of above twenty lines out of my Book against him I am of the judgement of moderate men as I have clearly and largely stated it in my Church-History and will live and desire to dye in the maintenance thereof And I hope the Animadvertor will allow me to know my own judgement better than he doth I am not of the Animadvertors mind That the Lords day is alterable and of meer Ecclesiastical constitution much less dare I concur with him in his scandalous expression That the late Parliament hath by their Orders and Ordinances laid greater restraints on People than ever the Scribes and Pharises did on the Iews To what followeth in the Animadvertor concerning the Articles at Lambeth I return no other answer save this As a Historian I have written truly for matter of Fact And if as a Divine I have interposed something of my Judgement in those points I beleeve the Animadvertor if writing on the same subject would not appear more moderate Mean time I am sure he differs as much from me as I from him in these opinions and therefore I see no reason of his animositie on this â—ccount Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 179. Queen Elizabeth coming to the Crown sent for Abbot Fecknam to come to her whom the Messenger found setting of Elms in the Orchard of Westminster Abbey But he would not follow the messenger till first he had finished his Plantation The tale goes otherwise by Tradition than is here delivered and well it may For who did ever hear of any Elms in Westminster Orchard or to say truth of any Elms in any Orchard whaâ—soever of a late Plantation Elms are for Groves and Fields and Forests too cumbersom and overspreading to be set in Orchards c. Fuller When a Traveller on the High-way suddenly returns back again surely 't is to fetch some matter of moment which he hath forgotten and left behind him The Animadvertor in this his Note retreats above 50 pages in my Church-History viz. from fol. 233. to fol. 179. And what is this Retrograde motion for Even to carpe at Elmes which I say were set by Abbot Feckenham in the Orchard of the Dean of Westminster citing my Author Reynerius for the same whose words in horto I translate in the Orchard as more proper for Elmes than a Garden Thus have you my Tale and my Tales maker So that this wooden Animadversion might well have been spared THE TENTH BOOK Containing the Reign of King James Dr. Heylin OUr Author proceeeds Fol. 5. Watson with William Clark another of his own profession having fancied a notional Treason imparted it to George Brooks To these he after adds the Lord Cobham a Protestant the Lord Gray of Whâ—ddon a Puritan and Sir Walter Rawleigh an able Statseman and some other Knights In the recital of which names our Author hath committed a double fault the one of omission and the other of commission A fault of omission in leaving out Sir Griffith Markam as much concerned as any of the principal actors designed to have been Secretary of Estate had the Plot succeeded and finally arraigned and condemned at Winchester as the others were Fuller I distinguish betwixt total Omission express Enumeration and implicit Inclusion Sir Griffith Markam cannot be said to be omitted by me because included in that clause and some other Knights Yea this whole treason had not at all sound any mention in my History not being bound to take cognizance thereof save for the two Priests who were engaged therein Dr. Heylin His fault of commission is his calling the Lord Gray by the name of the Lord Gray of Whaddon a fault not easily to be pardoned in so great an Herald whereas indeed though Whaddon in Buckinghamshire was part of his Estate yet Wilton in Herefordshire was his Barony and ancient Seat his Ancestors being call'd LL. Gray of Wilton to difference them from the Lord Gray of Reuthen the Lord Gray of Codnor c. Fuller A fault not so great neither in an Herauld seeing I call him not Lord Gray Baron of Whaddon but of Whaddon and a noble Person may be additioned either from his Honour or his Habitation Besides Wilton in Herefordshire long since being run into ruin those Lords some sixscore years agoe removed their residence to Whaddon in Bucks where some of them lived died and are burâ—ed The Animadvertor made as great an omission in his Short view of K. Charles when mentioning his Tutor Mr. Murrey but quite leaving out Sir Iames Fullerton conjoyned with him in the same charge of the Princes education And a greater fault of Commission is he guilty of when taxing Mr. Murrey as disaffected to the English Church who when made Provost of Eaton took his oath and therein professed his good liking of our Discipline as in the Cabala doth appear To return to Whaddon the Animadvertor might have spared this his Note who in the Postcript annexed to this Book maketh Edward Lord Montagu created Baron of Broughton in Northamptonshire Now though the L. Montagu hath the Manor of Broughton with the appendant Advowson and other considerable Lands therein yet is he Baron of Boughton in the same County A mistake so much the greater in the Animadvertor because done in his Emendation of his Emendations of the faults of another so that he cannot hit it right in this his third endeavor This I had passed over in silence had not his cruelty on my Pen or Presse-slips occasioned me to
of parchment out of his bosome and gave it to the Lord Keeper Williams who read it to the Commons four severall times East West North and South fol. 123. Thirdly the Lord Keeper who read that Scrole was not the Lord Keeper VVilliams but the Lord Keeper Coventry the Seal being taken from the Bishop of Lincoln and committed to the custody of Sir Thomas Coventry in October before And therefore fourthly our Author is much out in placing both the Coronation and the following Parliament before the change of the Lord Keeper and sending Sir Iohn Suckling to fetch that Seal at the end of a Parliament in the Spring which he had brought away with him before Michaelmas Term. But as our Author was willing to keep the Bishop of Lincoln in the Deanry of Westminster for no less then five or six years after it was confer'd on another so is he as desirous to continue him Lord Keeper for as many months after the Seal had been entrusted to another hand Fuller This also is an errour I neither can nor will defend the Lord Keeper Williams put for the Lord Keeper Coventry which hath betrayed me to some consequentiall incongruities I will not plead for my self in such a Suit where I foresee the Verdict will go against me Onely I move as to mitigation of Costs and Dammages that greater slips have fallen from the Pens of good Historians Mr. Speed in his Chronicle first Edition page 786. speaking of Henry eldest son to King Henry the eighth maketh Arch-Bishop Cranmer mistaken for Warham his God-father twenty four years before Cranmer ever sat in that See I write not this to accuse him but in part to excuse my self by paralleling mine with as evident a mistake I hope my free confession of my fault with promise of emendation of It and the Appendants thereof in my next Edition will meet with the Reader 's absolution And let the Animadvertor for the present if so pleased make merry and feast himself on my mistake assuring him that he is likely to fast a long time hereafter Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds f. 122. The Earl of Arundel as Earl Marshal of England the Duke of Buckingham as Lord high Constable of England for that day went before his Majesty in that great Solemnity In this passage and the next that follows our Author shewes himself as bad an Herald in marshalling a Royal Show as in stating the true time of the creation of a noble Peer Here in this place he placeth the Earl Marshall before the Constable whereas by the Statute 31 H. 8. c. 10. the Constable is to have precedency before the Marshall Nor want there precedents to shew that the Lord High Constable did many times direct his Mandats to the Earl Marshall as one of the Ministers of his Court willing and requiring him to perform such and such services as in the said Precepts were expressed Fuller My Heraldry is right both in Place and Time The Earl of Arundel as Earl Marshall went after the Duke of Buckingham as Lord High Constable though going before him For Barons went in this Royall Procession at the Kings Coronation before Bishops Bishops before Viscounts Viscounts before Earls the meaner before the greater Officers of State Thus the Lord Constable though the last was the first because of all Subjects nearest to the person of the Soveraign It seemeth the dayes were very long when the Animadvertor wrote these causless cavills which being now grown very short I cannot afford so much time in confuting them This his cavilling mindeth me of what he hath mistaken in his Geography For the younger son of an English Earl comming to Geneva desired a Carp for his dinner having read in the Doctor 's Geography that the Lemman Lake had plenty of the Fish and the best and biggest of that kind The people wondred at his desire of such a dainty which that place did not afford but told him That they had Trouts as good and great as any in Europe Indeed learned Gesner doth observe that the Trouts caught in this Lake sent to and sold at Lions are mistaken for Salmons by strangers unacquainted with their proportions It seems the Animadvertor's Pen is so much given to cavilling that he turned Trouts into Carps though none of them so great as this his CARP at me for making the Lord Marshall to go before the Lord Constable at the King's Coronation Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Ibid. That the Kings Train being six yards long of Purple Vâ—lvet was held up by the Lord Compton and the Lord Viscount Dorcester That the Lord Compton was one of them which held up the Kings Train I shall easily grant he being then Master of the Robes and thereby challenging a right to perform this service But that the Lord Viscount Dorcester was the other of them I shall never grant there being no such Viscount at the time of the Coronation I cannot say but that Sir Dudley Carlton might be one of those which held up the Train though I am not sure of it But sure I am that Sir Dudley Carlton was not made Baron of Imber-court till towards the latter end of the following Parliament of Anno 1606. nor created Viscount Dorcester untill some years after Fuller It is a meer mistake of the Printer for Viscount Doncaster son of and now himself the Earl of Carlile whose Father having a great Office in the Wardrobe this place was proper for him to perform All will presume me knowing enough in the Orthography of his Title who was my Patron when I wrote the Book and whom I shall ever whilst I live deservedly honour for his great bounty unto me Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds fol. 122. The Lord Arch-bishop did present his Majesty to the Lords and Commons East West North South asking their minds four severall times if they did consent to the Coronation of King Charls their lawfull Soveraign This is a piece of new State-doctrine never known before that the Coronation of the King and consequently his Succession to the Crown of England should depend on the consent of the Lords and Commons who were then assembled the Coronation not proceeding as he after telleth us till their consent was given four times by Acclamations Fuller I exactly follow the Language of my worthy Intelligencer a Doctor of Divinity still alive rich in Learning and Piety present on the place and an exact observer of all passages and see no reason to depart to depart from it I am so far from making the Coronation of the Soveraign depend on the consent of his Subjects that I make not the Kingly power depend on his Coronation who before it and without it is lawfull and effectuall King to all purposes and intents This was not a consent like that of the Bride to the Bride-groom the want whereof doth null the Marriage but a meer ceremoniall one in majorem Pompam which did not make but manifest not constitute but
likewise fear that the Animadvertor will lay so much weight of ill words upon me that the profit I shall reap will not countervail the pain I must endure in my rectification Dr. Heylyn Our Author saith Ibid. It would be of dangerous consequence to condemn him by the Canons of forrain Councils which were never allowed any Legislative power in this Land Which words are very ignorantly spoken or else very improperly Fuller Did I not foretell aright that my rectification would cost me dear even the burden of bad words Here I have a dolefull Dilemma presented unto me to confesse my self speaking either very ignorantly or very improperly But might not one of these two VERY's have very well been spared Well è malis minimum if it must be so that my choice must be of one of these let it be rather but Impropriety than Ignorance But Reader I see no necessity of acknowledging either but that my words are both knowingly and properly spoken and now to the triall Dr. Heylyn For if by Legislative power he means a power of making Lawes as the word doth intimate then it is true That the Canons of forrain Councells had never any such power within this Land But if by Legislative power he means a Power or Capability of passing for Lawes within this Kingdom then though he use the word improperly it is very fals that no such Canons were in force in the Realm of England The Canons of many forrain Councells Generall Nationall and Provinciall had been received in this Church and incorporated into the body of the Canon-Law by which the Church proceeded in the exercise of her Jurisdiction till the submission of the Clergy to King Henry the Eighth And in the Act confirmative of that submission it is said expresly That all Canons Constitutions Ordinances and Synodals Provinciall as were made before the said Submission which be not contrary or repugnant to the Laws Statutes and Customs of this Realm nor to the dammage or hurt of the Kings Prerogative Royall were to be used and executed as in former times 25 H. 8. c. 19. So that unlesse it can be proved that the proceedings in this case by the Canons of forrain Councels was either contrary or repugnant to the Laws and Customs of the Realm or to the dammage of the Kings prerogative Royall There is no dangerous consequence at all to be found therein Fuller By Legislative power of the Canons of forrain Councels I understand their power to subject the People of our Nation to Guiltiness and consequently to Penalties if found infringing them Now I say again such forrain Canons though not against but onely besides our Common Law and containing no repugnancy but disparateness to the Lawes of our Land either never had such power in England since the Reformation or else disuse long since hath antiquated it as to the rigid exercise thereof For instance a Bishop I am sure and I think a Priest too is in the old Canons rendred irregular for playing a game at Tables Dice being forbidden by the Canons Yet I conceive it would be hard measure and a thing de facto never done that such irregularity should be charged on him on that account We know it was the project of the Pope and Papall party to multiply Canons in Councels meerly to make the more men and men the more obnoxious unto him that they might re-purchase their innocence at the price of the Court of Rome I believe the Animadvertor himself would be loth to have his canonicalness tried by the Test of all old Canons made in rigorem disciplinae yet not contrariant to our Laws and Customs seeing they are so nice and numerous that Cautiousnesse it self may be found an offendor therein I resume my words That it would be of dangerous consequence to condemn the Arch-Bishop by Canons of forrain Councels which never obtained power here either quoad reatum or poenam of such as did not observe them Dr. Heylyn But whereas our Author adds in some following words That eversince he means ever since the unhappy accident he had executed his jurisdiction without any interruption I must needs add That he is very much mistaken in this particular Dr. Williams Lord Elect of Lincoln Dr. Carew Lord Elect of Exeter and Dr. Laud Lord Elect of St. Davids and I think some others refusing to receive Episcopall Consecration from him on that account Fuller Must the Animadvertor needs add this I humbly conceive no such necessity being but just the same which I my self had written before Church-History Book 10. Pag. 88. Though some squemish and nice-conscienced Elects scrupled to be consecrated by him But I beheld this as no effectuall interrupting of his Jurisdiction because other Bishops more in number no whit their inferiour received Consecration Dr. Davenant Dr. Hall and King Charls himself his Coronation from him Dr. Heylyn Far more mistaken is our Author in the next when he tells us fol. 128. Though this Arch-bishop survived some years after yet hence-forward he was buried to the world No such matter neither For though for a while he stood confined to his house at Ford yet neither this Confinement nor that Commission were of long continuance for about Christmas in the year 1628. he was restored both to his Liberty and Jurisdiction sent for to come unto the Court received as he came out of his Barge by the Arch-Bishop of York and the Earl of Dorset and by them conducted to the King who giving him his hand to kiss enjoyned him not to fail the Councill-Table twice a vveek After which time we find him sitting as Arch-Bishop in Parliament and in the full exercise of his Iurisdiction till the day of his death which happened on Sunday August the 4th 1633. And so much of him Fuller An Historian may make this exception but not a Divine my words being spoken in the language of the Apostle The world is crucified unto me and I unto the world I had said formerly that the Keeper's death was this Arch-Bishop's mortification But from this his Suspension from the exercise of his Iurisdiction he was in his own thoughts buried it reviving his obnoxiousness for his former casuall Homicide so that never he was seen hartily if at all to laugh hereafter though I deny not Much Court-savour was afterwards on designe conferred on him Here I hope it will be no offence to insert this innocent story partly to shew how quickly tender guiltiness is dejected partly to make folk cautious how they cast out gaulling speeches in this kind This Archbishop returning to Croidon after his late absence thence a long time many people most women whereof some of good quality for good will for novelty and curiosity crouded about his Coach The Archbishop being unwilling to be gazed at and never fond of Females said somewhat churlishly What make these women here You had best said one of them to shoot an arrow at us I need not tell the Reader
in our Author's History though the greatest falshood Tam facilis in mendaciis fides ut quicquid famae liceat fingere illi esset libenter audire in my Author's language But for the last he brings some proof he would have us think so at the least that is to say the words of one Bayly a Scot whom it concern'd to make him as odious as he could the better to comply with a Pamphlet called The intentions of the Army in which it was declared That the Scots entred England with a purpose to remove the Arch-bishop from the King and execute their vengeance on him What hand Dr. Couzens had in assisting of the work I am not able to say But sure I am that there was nothing was done in it by the Bishops of England but with the counsel and co-operation of their brethren in the Church of Scotland viz. the Arch-bishop of St. Andrews the Arch-bishop of Glasco the Bishops of Murray Ross Brechin and Dunblane as appears by the Book entituled Hidden works of darkness c. fol. 150 153 154 c. And this our Author must needs know but that he hath a mind to quarrell the Arch-bishop upon every turn as appears plainly 1. By his Narrative of the Designe in King Iames his time from the first undertaking of it by the Arch-bishop of St. Andrewes and the Bishop of Galloway then being whose Book corrected by that King with some additions expunctions and accommodations was sent back to Scotland 2. By that unsatisfiedness which he seems to have when the project was resum'd by King Charls Whether the Book by him sent into Scotland were the same which had passed the hands of King Iames or not which he expresseth in these words viz. In the Reigne of King Charls the project was resumed but whether the same Book or no God knoweth fol. 160. If so if God onely know whether it were the same or no how dares he tell us that it was not And if it was the same as it may be for ought he knoweth with what conscience can he charge the making of it upon Bishop Laud Besides as afterward he telleth us fol. 163 The Church of Scotland claimed not onely to be Independent and free as any Church in Christendom a Sister not a Daughter of England And consequently the Prelates of that Church had more reason to decline the receiving of a Liturgy impos'd on them or commended to them by the Primat of England for fear of acknowledging any subordination to him than to receive the same Liturgy here by Law establisht which they might very safely borrow from their Sister-Church without any such danger But howsoever it was the blame must fall on him who did least deserve it Fuller I will return to my words which gave the Animadvertor the first occasion of this long discourse Generally they excused the King in their writings but charged Arch-bishop Laud. I do not charge the Arch-bishop for compiling the Book but say The Scots did Nor do I say That what they charged on him is true but it is true that they did charge it on him Had I denyed it I had been a liar and seeing I affirmed no more the Animadvertor is a caviller It is observable that when our Chroniclers relate how Queen Anne Bollen was charged for Incontinency Margaret Countess of Salisbury for treasonable compliance with the Pope Henry Earl of Surrey for assuming the Arms of England Edward Duke of Somerset for designing the death of some Privy Counsellors Thomas Duke of Norfolk for aspiring by the match of the Queen of Scots to the English Crown Robert Earl of Essex for dangerous machinations against the person of Queen Elizabeth Thomas Earl of Strafford for endeavouring to subject England and Ireland to the King 's arbitrary Power That the Historians who barely report these Persons thus charged are not bound to make the charge good it is enough if they name their respective accusers as here I have named the Scots It is also observable that some of the Persons aforesaid though condemned and executed have since found such favour or justice rather with unpartiall Posterity that though they could not revive their persons they have restored their memories to their innocence And if the like shall be the hap of this Arch-bishop I shall rejoyce therein I mean if the Animadvertor's defence of him seems so clear as to out-shine the evidence so weighty as to out-poize all allegations which in printed Books are published against him In testimony whereof I return nothing in contradiction to what the Animadvertor hath written and it is questionable whether my desire that he may or distrust that he will not be believed be the greater Whatever the success be I forbear farther rejoynder To fight with a shaddow whether one's own or another's passeth for the proverbiall expression of a vain and useless act But seeing the dead are sometimes tearmed shaddows umbrae to fall foul on them without absolute necessity is an act not onely vain but wicked not onely useless but uncharitable And therefore no more hereof Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceedeth 167. Thus none seeing now foul weather in Scotland could expect it fair Sun-Shine in England In this I am as little of our Author's Opinion as in most things else The Sun in England might have shined with a brighter Beam if the Clouds which had been gathered together and threatned such foule Weather in Scotland had been dispersed and scattered by the Thunder of our English Ordnance The opportunity was well given and well taken also had it not been unhappily lost in the Prosecution Fuller Grant the Thunder of our English Ordnance had scattered the Scottish Clâ—uds yet by the confession of the Animadvertor there must first be foul weather in England before there could be such fair weather to follow it The Skyes are alwayes dark and lowring even whilst the Thunder is Engendering therein Military preparations in order to a Conquest of the Scotts must needs give our Nation great troubles and for the time un-Sunshine England which is enough to secure my Expression from just exception Dr. Heylyn The Scots were then weak unprovided of all Necessaries not above three thousand compleat Armes to be found amongst them The English on the other side making a formidable appearance gallantly Horst compleaty Armed and intermingled with the Choisest of the Nobility and Gentry in all the Nation Fuller I am much of the mind of the Animadvertor that there was a visible Disparity betwixt the two Armies and the Ods in the eye of flesh on the side of the English They were Gallantly Horst indeed whether in Reference to their Horses or Riders and the King pleasantly said It would make the Scots fight against them were it but to get their brave Cloaths Indeed the strength of the Scots consisted in their Reputation to be strong reported here by such as Friended them and the Scotch Lyon was not half so fierce as he was
it would sufficiently secure them from a danger which though suspected was not certain to ensue This afterwards was very eagerly urged against them by a Committee in Parliament and sorry I am that they could not make their answer as clear as the objection Dr. Heylyn But whereas our Author tells us that the whole House consisted but of six score persons it may be thought that he diminisheth the number of set purpose to make his own party seem the greater For in the lower House of Convocation for the Province of Canterbury if all parties summon'd do appear these are no fewer then two and twenty Deans four and twenty Prebâ—ndaries fifty four Archdeacons and forty four Clerks representing the Diocâ—san Clergy amounting in the totall to an hundred forty four persons whereof the thirty six Protestors if so many there were make the fourth part onely Howsoever all parties being not well satisfied with the lawfulness of their continuance his Majesty was advertis'd of it Who upon conference with his Judges and Counsell learned in the Laws caus'd a short Writing to be drawn and subscribed by their severall hands in these following words viz. at White-hall May the 10th 1640. the Convocation being called by the Kings Writ is to continue till it be dissolved by the Kings Writ notwithstanding the dissolving of the Parliament Subscribed by Finch Lord Keeper Manchester Lord Privy Seal Littleton chief Justice of the Common Pleas Banks Atturney Generall whitâ—ield and Heath his Majesties Serjeants Fuller I protest and now will enter my protestation in scriptis that it may be valid I had no designe either to substract from the number in the Convocation or add to those of the Dissentors I believe the Animadvertor is very right in his Arithmetick of Persons in the Provinciall Convocation of Canterbury But concerning the Arch-deacons give me leave once to enlarge my self in stating their true number because it is hard to find either a printed or written Catalogue of them which is exact herein They are generally reckoned up but FIFTY TWO as followeth The two first containing eighteen a piece the last sixteen which are but fifty two in my Arithmetick St. Asaph St. Asaph Bangor Bangor Anglesey Merioneth Bristol Dorset Bath and Wels.

Sarum Winchest Winchester Surrey Worcest Worcester This is the best printed List I have ever seen presented in Weaver's Funerall Monuments having the valuation of each Archdeaconry annexed taken as he saith and I believe him therein out of Sir Cotton's Library and yet I am sure it is not compleat Wherefore I supply Warwick in the Diocesse of Worcester as I find it in a more perfect written Catalogue And yet still one is wanting even Westminster whoâ—e Church was advanced to the See of a Bishop by King Henry the Eighth and though since it hath been set back from a Cathedrall to a Collegiat-Church yet it still retaineth the honour to send one of their Prebendaries by the Title of their Arch-deacon to the Convocation And thus we have our full number of fifty four But whereas the Animadvertor taxeth me for saying The Convocation consisted of six-score I confess when I first read his words I had not a Church-History by me to confute it Yet I conceived such positiveness in a number improbable to fall from my Pen who had learn'd this Lesson from the best of Teachers the Spirit of God not to be peremptory but to leave a latitude in numbers of this nature In Times In Places In Persons Dan. 5.33 Darius being about threescore and two years 〈◊〉 Luk. 24.13 From Ierusalem about sixty furlongs Exod. 12.37 About six hundred thousand men on foot Luk. 3.23 Iesus began to 〈◊〉 about thirty years of age Joh. 6.19 Had rowed about five and twenty furlongs Act. 2.41 Added to the Church about three thousand souls But upon inspection of my Book my words were The whole House consisting of ABOUT six score where about is receptive of more or less Besides the Convocation as to the effectuall managing of matters properly consisted not of the Members belonging thereto but present therein and some five score and ten was the generall and constant appearance the rest being absent for age sicknesse and other detentions Dr. Heylyn Which Writing an Instrument our Author calls it being communicated to the Clergy by the Lord Arch-bishop on the morrow after did so compose the minds of all men that they went forwards very cheerfully with the work in hand The principall of those whom our Author calls Dissenters bringing in the Canon of Preaching for conformity being the eighth Canon in the Book as now they are plac'd which was received and allowed of as it came from his hand without alteration Fuller And calleth it an Instrument properly enough both to the originall notation and modern acception of the word Instrument is so termed ab instruendo from Instructing This Writing did first instruct Us at the present that by the judgment of those great States-men and Lawyers We might legally continue notwithstanding the dissolution of the Parliament And since this Writing hath by the event thereof instructed us that seeing the judgments of the Grandees in the Law were censured erroneous in Parliament it is unsafe in matters of this nature to rely on the opinions of any comparatively private persons As for the modern acception of the word I appeal to the Criticks in Language whether this Writing as the Animadvertor is fain to term it of the Judges may not be called by the generall name of Instrument harmoniously enough to the propriety thereof Dr. Heylyn Howsoever our Author keeps himself to his former folly shutting up his extravagancy with this conclusion fol. 169. Thus was an old Convocation converted into a new Synod An expression borrowed from the speech of a witty Gentleman as he is called by the Author of the History of the Reign of King Charls and since by him declar'd to be the Lord George Digby now Earl of Bristow But he that spent most of his wit upon it and thereby gave occasion unto others for the like mistakings was Sir Edward Deering in a speech made against these Canons Anno 1640. where we find these flourishes Would you confute the Convocation They were a holy Synod Would you argue against the Synod Why they were Commissioners Would you dispute the Commission They will mingle all powers together and answer that they were some fourth thing that neither we know nor imagine that is to say as it followes afterwards pag. 27. a Convocationall-Synodicall-Assembly of

the Victory so he staid long enough to have lost it Fuller Though a courteous Prolepsis might salve all the matter yet to prevent exceptions in my next Edition the Lord shall be degraded into Sir William Stanley THE FIFTH BOOK Relating to the time of King Henry the Eight Dr. Heylin WE are now come to the busie times of King Henry the Eight in which the power of the Church was much diminisht though not reduced to such ill terms as our Author makes it We have him here laying his foundations to overthrow that little which is left of the Churches Rights His super-structures we shall see in the times ensuing more seasonable for the practise of that Authority which in this fifth Book he hammereth onely in the speculation Fuller I deny and defie any such Designe to overthrow the foundations of the Churches right If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous doe Iâ— my Back could butterresse them up it should not be wanting However I am not sensible that any such invasion was made on the true property of the Church but that the King resumed what by God was invested in him and what by the Pope was unjustly taken from him though none can justifie every particular in the managery of the Reformation Dr. Heylin But first we will begin with such Animadversions as relate unto this time and story as they come in our way leaving such principles and positions as concern the Church to the close of all where we shall draw them all together that our discourse and observations thereupon may come before the Reader without interruption And the first thing I meete with is a fault of Omission Dr. Newlen who succeeded Dr. Iackson in the Presidentship of Corpus Christi Colledge in Oxford Anno 1640 by a free election and in a statutable way being left out of our Authors Catlogue of the Presidents of C. C. C. in Oxford fol. 166. and Dr. Stanton who came in by the power of the Visitors above eight years after being placed therein Which I thought fit though otherwise of no great moment to take notice of that I might doe the honest man that right which our Author doth not Fuller Would the Animadvertor had given me the Christian as well as the Sirâ—name of the Doctor that I may enter it in my next Edition But I will endeavour some other wayes to recover it Such and greater Omisions often attend the Pens of the most exact Authors Witnesse the Lord Stanhop created Baron of Harington in Narthampton-shire â—ertio Iacobi left out in all the Editions Latine and English of the Industrious and Judicious Mr. Camden though his junior Baron the Lord Arundel of Wardour be there inserted This his omission proceeded not from the least neglect as I protest my Innocence in the casual preterition of Dr. Newlen Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 168. King Henry endeavoured an uniâ—ormity of Grammer all over his Dominions that so youths though changing their School-Masters might keep their learning That this was endeavoured by King Henry and at last enjoyned I shall easily grant But then our Author should have told us if at least he knew it that the first hint thereof proceeded from the Convocation in the year 1530 in which complaint being made Quod multiplex varius in Scholis Grammaticalibus modus esset docendi c. That the multiplicitie of Grammers did much hurt to learning it was thought meet by the Prelates and Clergy then assembled Ut una eadem edatur formula auctoritate hujus sacrae Synodi in qualibet singula Schola Grammaticali per Cantuariensem Provinciam usitanda edocenda that is to say that one onely form of teaching Grammar should be enjoyned from thenceforth by the Authority of the Convocation to be used in all the Grammar Schools of the Province of Canterbury Which being so agreed upon Lilly then Schoolmaster of St. Pauls School was thought the fittest man for that undertaking and he performed his part so well that within few years after it was enjoyned by the Kings Proclamation to be used in all the Schools throughout the Kingdom But here we are to note withall that our Author anticipates this businesse placing it in the eleventh year of this King Anno 1519. whereas the Convocation took not this into consideration till the eighth of March Anno 1530. and certainly would not have medled in it then if the King had setled and enjoyned it so long before Fuller The Animadvertor discovers much indiscretion in cavelling at a well-timed truth in my Book and substituting a falshood in the room thereof The endeavor of Henry the eight for uniformity of Grammar throughout all his Dominions begun as I have placed it one thousand five hundred and nineteen William Lillie being the prime person imployed for the composure thereof Indeed it met not with universal Reception for some years babits not being easily deposed and therefore the Convocation concurring with the Kings pleasure therein added their assistance in the year 1530. as the Animadvertor observeth and soon after by the Kings Proclamation the matter was generally effected But whereas he sayth That after that time 1530. William Lillye was thought the fittest man for that undertaking Let me tell him That a man dead five if not eight years before was not fit to make a Grammar I appeal to Bale and Pitts both which render William Lillye to dye in the year 1525. but mistaken herein For indeed he dyed three years before if the Epitaph on his Monument made by his sonne George Lillye may be believed in a brass plate near the great North dore of St. Pauls Gulielmo Lilio Paulinae Scholae olim Preceptori Primario Agneti Conjugi in Sacratissimo hujus Templi coemiterio hinc à tergo nunc destructo consepultis Georgius Lillius hujus Ecclesiae Canonicus parentum memoriae piae consulens Tabellam hanc ab amicis conservatam hic reponendam curavit Obiit ille G. L. Anno Dom. 1522. Calend. Mart. Vixit annos 54. Wherefore this unnecessary Animadversion to correct what was right before might very well have been spared Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 168. Howsoever it is probable some other Gardiner gathered the Flowers made the Collections though King Henry had the honor to wear the Posie I am not ignorant that the making of the Kings Book against Martin Luther is by some Popish Writers ascribed to Dr. Iohn Fisher then Bishop of Rochester But this Cavil was not made till after this King had rejected the Popes Supremacy and consequently the lesse credit to be given unto it It is well known that his Father King Henry the seventh designed him for the Archbishoprick of Canterbury and to that end caused him to be trained up in all parts of learning which might enable him for that place But his eldest brother Prince Arthur dying and himself succeeding in the Crown though he had laid aside the thoughts of being
