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

that the King should never be restored to his place and Power by which he might be called to a reckoning for them Fuller It Seems Multa videntur quae non sunt The Inference is false and forced Titus Livius lived in Imperial yet wrote of Regal Consulatory Tribunitial at Rome without the least imputation of falshood I conceive Monarchical Aristocratical and Democralical truth to be One and the Same It followeth not that two-faced Ianus as beholding two worlds one before the other after the Flood had also two Hearts I did not attemper my History to the Palat of the Government so as to sweeten it with any Falshood but I made it Palatable thus far forth as not to give a wilful disgust to those in present Power and procure danger to my self by using any over-salt tart or bitter Expression better forborn than inserted without any prejudice to the Truth Dr. Heylyn For in the second Book he reckons the Cross in Baptism for a Popish Trinket by which it appears not I am sure to have been written in the time of Kingly Government that being no expression sutable unto such a time Fuller Should I simply and absolutely call the Cross in Baptisme a Popish Trinket my fore-head Signed therewith would give my Tongue the lye and return the Popery in the teeth thereof I behold it as an Ancient and Significant Ceremony but in no degree essentiall to or completory of the Sacrament witness the wisdome of the Church of England which in private Baptism permitteth the omitting thereof But when Ceremonyes shall devour their distance and intrude themselves necessary and essential it is high time to term them Superstititious Trinkets The rest I referr to what I have written when this passage recurreth in the place cited by the Animadvertor Dr. Heylyn Secondly speaking of the precedency which was fixt in Canterbury by removing the Archiepiscopal See from London thither he telleth us that the matter is not much which See went first when living seeing our Age hath laid them both alike level in their Graves But certainly the Government was not changed into a State or Commonwealth till the death of the King and till the death of the King neither of those Episcopall Sees nor any of the rest were laid so level in their Graves but that they were in hope of a Resurrection the King declaring himself very constantly in the Treaty at the Isle of Wight as well against the abolishing of the Episcopal Government as the alienation of their Lands Thirdly In the latter end of the same Book he makes a great dispute against the high and sacred priviledge of the Kings of England in curing the disease comonly called the Kings Evil whether to be imputed to Magick or Imagination or indeed a Miracle next brings us in an old Wives Tale about Queen Elizabeth as if she had disclaimed that power she daily exercised and finally manageth a Quarrel against the form of Prayer used at the curing of that Evil which he arraigns for Superstition and impertinencies no inferior Crimes Are all these passages proper to that Government also Finally in the third Book he derogates from the power of the Church in making Canons giving the binding and concluding Power in matters which concern the civil Rights of the Subjects not to the King but to the Lay-people of the Land assembled in Parliament which game he after followeth in the eighth and last And though it might be safe enough for him in the eighth and last to derogate in this manner from the King's supremacy in Ecclesiastical affairs yet certainly it was neither safe for him so to do nor proper for him so to write in the time of the Kingly Government unless he had some such wretched hopes as before we spake of Fuller I desire the Reader to remember my late words as the Animadvertor recited them FOR THE MAIN I confess though these Books were written in the Reign of King Charles yet after his Death I interpolated some lines and amongst others that of levelling all Bishopricks I raised no dispute against the Kings curing the Evil it being raised before I was born and which I endeavoured to allay referring it to Miracle as to the peruser of my History in that place will appear I tell no old Wives Tale of Queen Elizabeth it being a Masculine Truth from most authentick Authors I derogate not in the least degree from the power of the Church but the Animadvertor doth arrogate unto it more then is due by the Lawes of God and Man maintaining that Church-men may go beyond Ecclesiastical Censures even to the Limbs and Lives of such as are Recusants to their Constitutions WRETCHED and what formerly he said DISLOYAL HOPES I defie and return them in the Teeth of him that wrote the words He had WRETCHED AND DISLOIAL HOPES who wrote that King Iames went to New-market as Tiberius to his Capreae he waved his Loyalty and Discretion together who so saucily and un-subject-like counted how often King Charles waved his Crown Here give me leave to tell the Animadvertor that such whom he slighteth for LOW-ROYALISTS were whilst they had a King in England as HIGH in their Loyalty to him Prayers and Sufferings for him as those HIGH-ROIALISTS who maintain that all goods of the Subjects are at the King 's absolute Dispose and yet since those Kings are departed this life can write of them in so base and disparaging Language that any one of the LOW-ROIALISTS would have his right hand cut off rather then write the like Reader pardon my too just passion when DISLOIALTY is laid to my charge It is with me Either now speak or else for ever hereafter hold your Peace Dr. Heylyn I must needs say that on the reading of these Passages and the rest that follow I found my self possest with much Indignation And I long expected when some Champion would appear in the Listes against this Goliah who so reproachfully had defied the whole Armyes of Israel And I must needs confess withal that I did never enter more unwillingly on any undertaking But beeing solicited thereunto by Letters Messages and several personal Addresses by Men of all Orders and Dignityes in the Church and of all degrees in the Universities I was at last overcome by that Importunity which I found would not be resisted Fuller Indignation is grief and anger boiled up to the height What just cause I have given for so great passion the Reader will judge If I be a Goliah in this point may I have his Success to be conquered killed and my head cut off even with my own Sword If I be none May the Animadvertor be graciously pardoned And it may be he shall never come off any undertaking more unhappily I could mate him with telling him that Men of all Sorts and Sizes their Equals in Number and Quality have likewise importuned me not tamely to sit down but to vindicate my own credit and conscience Dr. Heylyn
Countrey conquered to change the Laws alter the Language or new mould the Government or finally to translate the Scepter from the old Royal Family to some one of their own None of which things being done in the Invasions of the Scots and Picts they cannot properly be said to have subdued the South parts of the Island as our Author out of love perhaps to the Scots would perswade the Reader Fuller I confesse of all Five the Picts and Scots had the most short and uncertain abode in the South The distinction is very nice betwixt harrassing or depopulating of a Countrey and subduing it If I could but harrasse and depopulate that is but deargumentaâ—e the Animamadvertors Book against me I doubt not but I should be accounted to subdue it Why is not my Pen charged with a love to the Picts whom I also equally with the Scots intitle to this subduing and is a Nation now no where extant to be the object of my affection But this five-times subduing of the South of this Island is in all Authors as generally known and received as that a man hath five fingers on his hand Wherefore no more in Answer to just nothing THE THIRD BOOK From the time of the Norman Conquest to the first preaching of Wickliffe Dr. Heylin WE are now come unto the times of the Norman Government when the Church began to settle on a surer bottom both for power and polity the Bishops lesse obnoxious to the Kings than formerly because elected by the Monks and Canons of their own Cathedrals their Consistories free from the intermixture of Lay-assistance and their Synods manag'd by themselves Wherein though they had power of making such Synodicall Constitutions as did ipso facto binde all parties yet our Author is resolv'd to have it otherwise Fuller All this is but perfatary and therefore my Answer not necessary thereunto The Animadvertor seemeth to congratulate the Condition of the English Church as better hereafter in the following than in foregoing Ages He instanceth in two particulars POWER and POLITIE omitting a third worth Both Piety to which Purity in Doctrine may be reduced which now began more and more to be impaired Let me add that after the Kings of England had parted which indeed was wrested from them with the Investing of Bishops Bishops became lesse managable by and dutiful to their Prince and more insulting over the People and being lesse OBNOXIOUS to use the Animadvertors word to the Soveraign were more NOXIOUS to the Subjects Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 19. The Proceedings saith he of the Canon Law were never wholly received into practice in the Land but so as made subject in whatsoever touched temporals to Secular Lawes and National Customes And the Laity as pleasure limited Canons in this behalf How false this is how contrary to the power and practice of the Church before the submission of the Clergy to King Henry the eight and finally how dangerous a ground is hereby laid to weaken the Authority of Convocations will best appear by laying down the sum of a Petition presented by the House of Commons to the same King Henry together with the Answer of the Prelates and inferior Clergy then being Synodically assembled to the said Petition The substance of the Petition was as followeth viz. THat the Clergy of this your Realm being your Highnesse Subjects in their Convocation by them holden within this your Realm have made and daily make divers Sanctions or Laws concerning Temporal things and some of them be repugnant to the Laws and Statutes of your Realm not having ne requiring your most Royal assent to the same Laws so by them made nother any assent or knowledge of your Lay Subjects is had to the same nother to them published and known in their Mother tongue albeit divers and sundry of the said Laws extend in certain causes to your excellent Person your Liberty and Prerogative Royal and to the interdiction of your Laws and Possessions and so likewise to the Goods and Possessions of your Lay Subjects declaring the infringers of the same Laws so by them made not onely to incur the terrible censure of Excommunication but also to the detestable crime and sin of Heresie by the which divers of your humble and obedient Lay Subjects be brought into this Ambiguity whether they may doe and execute your Laws according to your jurisdiction Royal of this Realm for dread of the same Censures and pains comprised in the same Laws so by them made in their Convocations to the great trouble and inquietation of your said humble and obedient Lay Subjects c. the impeachment of your Jurisdiction and Prerogative Royal. The Answer thereunto was this TO this we say that forasmuch as we repute and take our Authority of making Laws to be grounded upon the Scripture of God and the determination of holy Church which must also be a rule and squier to try the justice and righteousnesse of all Laws as well Spiritual as Temporal we verily trust that considering the Laws of this Realm be such as have been made by most Christian religious and devout Princes and People how both these Laws proceeding from one fountain the same being sincerely interpretrd and after the good meaning of the makers there shall be found no repugnancy nor contrariety but that the one shall be found as aiding maintaining and supporting the other And if it shall otherwise appear as it is our duty whereunto we shall alwayes most diligently apply our selves to reform our Ordinances to Gods Commission and to conform our Statutes and Laws and those of our predecessors to the determination of Scripture and holy Church so we hope in God and shall daily pray for the same that your Highnesse will if there appear cause why with the assent of your People temper your Graces Laws accordingly Whereby shall ensue a most happy and perfect conjunction and agreement as God being Lapis angularis to agree and conjoyn the same And as concerning the requiring of your Highnesse Royal assent to the authority of such Laws as have been by our Predecessors or shall be made by us in such points and Articles as we have by Gods authority to rule and order by such Provisions and Laws we knowing your Highness wisdome and vertue and learning nothing doubt but the same perceiveth how the granting hereunto dependeth not upon our will and liberty And that we your most humble Subjects may not submit the execution of our charge and duty certainly prescribed by God to your Highnesse assent although in very deed the same is most worthy for your most Noble Princely and excellent vertues not onely to give your Royal assent but also to devise and command what we should for good order and manners by Statutes and Laws provide in the Church neverthelesse considering we may not so ne in such sort refrain the doing of our office in the feeding and ruling of Christs people your Graces Subjects we most
humbly desiring your Grace as the same hath heretofore so from henceforth to shew your Graces minde and opinion unto us what your high Wisdome shall think convenient which we shall most gladly hear and follow if it shall please God to inspire us so to doe with all submission and humility beseech the same following the steps of of your most Noble Progenitors and conformably to your our own Acts doe maintain and defend such Laws and Ordinances as we according to our calling and by Authority of God shall for his honour make to the edification of vertue and maintaining Christs faith of which your Highnesse is named Defender and hath been hitherto indeed a special Protector Furthermore whereas your said Lay Subjects say that sundry of the said Laws extend in certain causes to your excellent Person your Liberty and Prerogative Royal and to the interdiction of your Land and Possessions To this your said Orators say that having submitted the tryal and examining of the Laws made in the Church by us and our Predecessors to the just and straight Rule of Gods Laws which giveth measure of Power Prerogative and Authority to all Emperors Kings Princes and Potentates and all other we have conceiv'd such opinion and have such estimation of your Majesties goodnesse and vertue that whatsoever any persons not so well learned as your Grace is would pretend unto the same whereby we your most humble Subjects may be brought in your Graces displeasure and indignation surmising that we should by usurpation and presumption extend our Laws to your most noble Person Prerogative and Realm yet the same your Highnesse being so highly learn'd will of your own most bounteous goodnesse facilly discharge and deliver us from that envy when it shall appear that the said Laws are made by us or out Predecessors conformable and maintainable by the Scripture of God and determination of the Church against which no Laws can stand or take effect Somewhat to this purpose had been before endeavoured by the Commons in the last Parliament of King Edw. 3. of which because they got nothing by it but only the shewing of their teeth without hurting any body I shall lay nothing in this place reserving it to the time of the long Parliament in the Reign of King Charles when this point was more hotly followed and more powerfully prosecuted than ever formerly What sayes our Author unto this Findes he here any such matter as that the Laity at their pleasure could limit the Canons of the Church Or that such Canons in whatsoever touched temporals were subject unto secular Laws and National Customes And here of I desire the Reader to take special notice as that which is to serve for a Catholicon or general Antidote against those many venomous insinuations which he shall meet with up and down in the course of this History As for the case in which our Author grounds this pestilent Position it was the Canon made in a Synod at Westminster in the time of Anselm Anno 1102. prohibiting the sale of men and women like brute beasts in the open Market Which Canon not finding presently an universal obedience over all the Kingdome as certainly ill customes are not easily left when they are countenanced by profit occasioned our Author to adventure upon this bold assertion Fuller I conceived it uncivil to interrupt the Animadvertor in his long discourse until he had ended it and now professe I know not how it maketh in opposition to what I said and heartily wish that the Reader may understand it better than I doe It cannot be denyed but that the Clergy did claim and challenge a power and sometimes de facto executed it over the temporal Estates of the Laâ—ty for I behold the Clergy more bound because binding themselves by their representatives unto their Canons yet they never peaceably injoyed their Power as constantly checkt and controled by the Laws of the Land in such things wherein the Temporal Estate Life and Limb of Persons were concerned We have an eminent instance hereof in the Canon occasioning this discourse Anselme makes a Constitution and that indeed charitable and Christian against the sale of men and women like brute beasts in the open market place Now such persons sold slaves and Vassals as I understand it being the Goods and Chattels of their Masters the proprietaries and owners of their Bodies they would not part with their right in obedience to the Canon Suppose a Convocation some thirty years agoe should have made a Canon without any confirmation from Parliament That no Merchant living in England should by his Factors sell any Negroes or Blacks in the Barbadoes which formerly he had bought in Guinnie it would not oblige to the observation thereof because in such matters wherein propertie was concerned the Canon must say to the Common-Law By your leave Sir I have writen nothing in this point buâ— what I have a good Author for And seeing the Animadvertor in his Geography hath been pleased to tell a passage betwixt him and his fathers man let me relate another wherein my self was concerned knowing it to be as true and hoping it to be as well applyed Some three years since walking on the Lords day into the Park at Copthall the third son a child in coats of the Earl of Dorset desired to goe with me whereof I was unwilling fearing he should straggle from me whilest I meditated on my Sermon And when I told him that if he went with me he would lose himself he returned Then you must lose your self first for I will goe with you This rule I alwayes observe when medling with matters of Law because I my self am a child therein I will ever goe with a man in that faculty such as is most eminent in his profession à cujus latere non discedam so that if he lose me he shall first lose himself as hereafter when we grapple together in this Controversie will appear As for this particular case for I will engage no further for the present this Canon did not dispossesse Masters of their property in their Vassals and no meaner than Mr. Selden is my conductor herein stiled hereafter by the Animadvertor 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that renowned Humanitian and Philologer Yea I entred my Author in the Margin had the Animadvertor been pleased to take notice thereof Spiceleg ad Edmerium page two hundred and eight Neque sane Canon hic aut alia apud nos lata Lex id juris hactenus adeo refixit quin in Iurisconsultorum nostratium Commentariis passim Legibus quibus utimur consonum agnoscatur Neither truly this Canon or any other Law made amongst us hath hitherto unfastened this right but that in the Comments or Reports of our Common Lawyers it is acknowledged consonant to those Laws which we use And though in processe of Time first conscientious then all Masters laudibly submitted themselves to this Canon forbearing such sales yet were they not by
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.

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
an Injury when they must passe for necessary Animadversions on my Book to the defaming thereof as if it were defective without them which were there though perchance not so finely as fully and clearly before Dr. Heylin Possible it is that being overlaid by his own Subjects and distressed by the French he might send unto that King for aid in his great extremities And doing this if this were all he did no more than Nature and indignation and the necessity of his affairs did provoke him to not half so much as was done afterwards upon far weaker grounds by King Francis the first employing the Turks Forces both by Sea and Land against Charles the fifth But the Monks coming to the knowledge of this secret practise and construing his actions to the worst improv'd the Molehill to a Mountain rendring him thereby as odious to posterity as he was to themselves Fuller How much is this different from what I have written before but that the Animadvertor will not wear words at the second hand of my using but will have them spick and span new of his own making Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 63. I question whether the Bishop of Rochester whose Country house at Bromley is so nigh had ever a House in the City There is no question but he had Stow finding it in Southwark by the name of Rochester house adjoyning on the South side to the Bishop of Winchesters ruinous and out of reparation in his time as possibly not much frequented since the building of Bromley House and since converted into Tenements for private persons Fuller It was a Question to me though none to the Animadvertor now it is a question neither to him nor to me who by him am informed I see that men may learn by what boyes learn in their Qui mihi Sed qui nil dubitat nil capit inde boni Had I not questioned this once publickly probably I had questioned it ever privately and gone in my self without satisfaction Dr. Heylin But since our Author hath desired others to recover the rest from oblivion I shall help him to the knowledge of two more and shall thank any man to finde out the third The first of these two is the Bishop of Lincolns House situate neer the old Temple in Holborn first built by Robert de Chesney Bishop of Lincoln Anno 1147. since alien'd from that See to the Earls of Southampton and passing by the name of Southampton House The second is the Bishop of Bangors a fair House situate in Shoe-lane neer St. Andrews Church of late time leased out by the Bishops and not since the dwelling of Dr. Smith Doctor in Physick a right honest and ingenuous person and my very good friend Of all the old Bishops which were founded before King Harry the eight there is none whose House we have not found but the Bishop of Asaph to the finding whereof if our Author or any other will hold forth the Candle I shall follow the light the best I can and be thankfull for it Fuller I faithfully promise so to doe as soon as I arrive at any good intelligence thereof Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 67. And though some high Royalists look on it as the product of Subjects animosities improving themselves on their Princes extremities c. Our Author telleth us in his Epistle to the Reader that the three first Books of this Volume were for the main written in the reign of the late King and that it would appear so by some passages which were then proper for the Government But certainly if these words were written in the time of the late King they were written in the time of his distresse when his affairs were desperate and his Party ruin'd the name of Royalists had not else been used here in the way of reproach nor any new matter charg'd upon them which might render them more obnoxious to fine and ransome than the crime of Loyalty Fuller My Loyaltie did rise and fall with his Majesties successe as a Rock in the Sea doth with the ebbing and flowing of the Tyde I had more pitty but not lesse honour for him in his deepest distresse God knows my heart I use not the word High-Royalist here as by way of reproach and the unpartial Reader niether will nor can so understand it Some there are who maintain that a King is no way confined with his own Laws but that without any fault he may by his own lâ—st limit his Demands on his Subjects taking from them without any wrong what they refuse to pay unto him There the Animadvertor will call Royalists and I dare call them High-Royalists beholding as I have said the Grand-Charter as the product of Subjects animosities improving themselves on their Princes extremities Dr. Heylin But whatsoever our Author thinks it cannot but appear to any who consults the story of former times that the original of this Charter was first writ in blood obtain'd by working on the necessities of some Princes extorted in the minority of another and finally confirm'd by him who had not power to justifie his denial of it Fuller I could heartily have wished that the Animadvertor had expressed the names of these Kings Who now onely hope that I conjecture them aright 1. King Iohn on the working of whose necessities it was first obtainned 2. Henry the third whose consent thereto was extorted in his minoritie 3. Edward the first confirming it when not in power to justifie his denial during his durance as a Prisoner taken in Battail Here I confesse are three sad conditions necessity of the first minority of the second captivity of the third But know that the last of these when at liberty and not onely endued with freedome but impowered with force and being as wise and successefull a Prince as ever sate on the English Throne found it advantagious for his Interest to observe what formerly when a Prisoner he had confirmed Otherwise his Sword was so long reaching as farre as Palastine it self and so sharp hewing his conquering way through Wales and Scotland that therewith enforced with his arm he might have rescinded the Seals of the Grand-Charter and put himself into the condition of an absolute command But he preferred the strict observation thereof partly out of Piety because solemnly sworn thereunto partly out of Policy as sensible that therein the Rights of Sovereigns and Subjects were indifferently contempered to their mutual happinesse it being Fetters to neither but Girdles to both to be strengthned by such restraints Dr. Heylin And if our Author be so certain that those Kings flourihed most both at home and abroad who tyed themselves most conscientiously to the observation thereof I would fain know how some of our Kings who have most conscientiously tied themselves to that observation became so unprosperous or how some others came to flourish both at home and abroad who have made it their great work to infringe the same in almost all the

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
Soveraign having learnt primum in unoquoque Genere est excipiendum The Animadvertor hath here taken occasion to write much but thereof nothing to confute me and little to informe others He deserved to be this King Henry's Chaplain if living in that Age for his exactnesse in the distinct enumeration of all his Dignities and Estate before he came to the Crown Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 190. 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
9 fol. 109. being shrunk to eight and that eight thousand pound not given to one Daughter as is here affirmed but divided equally between two whereof the one was married to Sir Iames Harrington the other unto Dunch of Berkshire Secondly this could be no cause of the Queens displeasure and much lesse of the Countries envie that Bishop having sat in the See of Durham above seventeen years And certainly he must needs have been a very ill Husband if out of such a great Revenue he had not saved five hundred pounds per annum to prefer his Children the income being as great and the charges of Hospility lesse than they have been since Thirdly the Queen did not take away a thousand pound a year from that Bishoprick as is here affirmed The Lands were left to it as before but in regard the Garrison of Barwick preserved the Bishops Lands and Tenants from the spoil of the Scots the Queen thought fit that the Bishops should contribute towards their own defence imposing on them an annual pension of a thousand pound for the better maintaining of that Garrison Fourthly Bishop Pilkington was no Doctor but a Batchelor of Divinity onely and possibly had not been raised by our Author to an higher title and Degree than the University had given him but that he was a Conniver at Non-conformity as our Author telleth us Lib. 9. fol. 109. Lastly I shall here add that I conceived the Pension above mentioned not to have been laid upon that See after Pilkingtons death but on his first preferment to it the French having then newly landed some forces in Scotland which put the Queen upon a necessity of doubling her Guards and increasing her Garrisons But whatsoever was the cause of imposing this great yearly payment upon that Bishoprick certain I am that it continued and the money was duly paid into the Exchequer for many years after the true cause thereof was taken away the Queens displeasure against Pilkington ending either with his life or hers and all the Garrisons and forces upon the Borders being taken away in the beginning of the Reign of King Iames. So true is that old saying Quod Christus non capit fiscus rapit never more fully verified than in this particular Fuller I have given in a double account of Bishop Pilkingtons Issue and Estate 1. As same reported and as envioâ—s Courtiers represented it to Queen Elizabeth that he gave ten thousand with his onely Daughter Lib. 5. fol. 253. 2. As it was in truth giving but four thousand a piece with Two daughters lib. 8. fol. 109. The Animadvertor may allow me knowing in his family my wife being Grandchild to his Eldest Daughter married to Sir Henry Harrington Yet no relation to him or favour for him as a semi-non conformist but mere love to the Truth made me entitle him Doctor though I confesse Bishop Godwin maketh him but Batchelour in Divinity For Dr. Caius Master of Gonvil Hall whilest Pilkington was of St. Iohns in Cambridge giveth him the stile of Doctor who must be presumed most exact in the Titles of his own Contemporary The difference is not great betwixt taking away 1000 l. yearly from the Bishoprick and charging it with an annual Pension of 1000 l. to maintain the Garrison of Barwick However if the Reader can gain any information from what is additory in the Animadvertor I shall be light glad thereof THE SIXTH BOOK Containing the History of Abbeys Dr. Heylin THis Book containing the History of Abbeys seems but a Supplement to the former but being made a distinct book by our Author we must doe so likewise In which the first thing capable of an Animadversion is but meerly verbal viz. Fol. 266. Cistercians so called from one Robert living in Cistercium in Burgundy The place in Burgundy from whence these Monks took denomination though call'd Cirstercium by the Latins is better known to the French and English by the name Cisteaux the Monks thereof the Monks of Cisteaux by the English and Lesmoines de Cisteaux by the French and yet our Author hath hit it better in his Cistercians than Ralph Brook York Herald did in his Sister-senses for which sufficiently derided by Augustin Vincent as our Author being so well studied in Heraldry cannot chuse but know Fuller It was equally in my power and pleasure without the least prejudice to the Truth whether I would render the place in the French Cisteaux or retain the Latine name Cistercium I preferred the latter because our English word Cistercians hath most conformity therewith What is R. Brooke his Sister-senses Brother-senses or Non-senses to me This spends time in writing money in buying pains in reading makes some more angry none more knowing Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 268. But be he who he himself or any other pleaseth brother if they will to St. George on Horseback Our Author not satisfying himself in that Equitius who is supposed to be the first Founder of Monks in England makes him in scorn to be the Brother of St. George on Horse back that is to say a meer Chimera a Legendary Saint a thing of nothing The Knights of that most noble Order are beholding to him for putting their Patron in the same Rank with St. Equitius of whose existence on the Earth he can finde no Constat Fuller I honour the Knights of that noble Order as much as the Animadvertor himself Their Ribbands though now wearing out apace seem in my eyes as fair and fresh as when first put on I doe not deny but much doubt of St. George as he is presented with his improbable Atchievements Yet grant the whole History onely Emblematical and Allegorical of Christ rescuing his Church from the might and malice of Satan no Diminution of Honour at all is thereby to the Fellows of that noble Order Dr. Heylin But I would have him know how poorly soever he thinks of St. George on Horseback that there hath more been said of him his Noble birth Atchievements with his death and Martyrdome than all the Friends our Author hath will or can justly say in defence of our present History Fuller The Animadvertor might have done well to instanced in that Author which hath been the Champion for this Champion and hath so substantially asserted him If in this passage he reflecteth on his own Book on that Subject he hath lookt so long on St. George he hath forgot Solomon Let another praise thee and not thy own mouth a stranger and not thine own lips For my part I am yet to seek what service he hath done to the Church of God so busie to make DOWN SABBATH and UP St. GEORGE Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 270 So they deserve some commendation for their Orthodox Judgement in maintaining some Controversies in Divinity of importance against the Jesuites Our Author speaks this of the Dominicans or preaching Fryers who though they be the sole active managers of the Inquisition deserve notwithstanding
persons to pass such a censure on one of their own profession Dr. Heylyn Secondly it had been more strange if the Knight had not been a Lay-man the Church of England not acknowledging any Order of Spirituall Knighthood Knights in Divinity are greater strangers in this Land then Lay-Divines these last being multiplied of late even ad infinitum the first never heard of Fuller The Pleonasm of the addition of Lay-man to Knight is not so culpable in it self but that it might have passed without censure and let not the Animadvertor be over-confident herein I have been credibly informed that Sir Miles Sandys third son to Edwin Arch-bishop of York Fellow of Peter-house in Cambridge and Proctor of the University Anno 1588. was made a Deacon and so no meer Lay-man and in his younger years a Prebendary of York Within this twenty years there was one Mr. Seaton beneficed in Hartfordshire a Scotish-man and at this day a Knight But the matter being of no more moment let us proceed Dr. Heylyn And thirdly had it been so mov'd and so lustily mov'd as our Author makes it the Knight and Lay-man might have found a precedent for it in former ages Which last clause is to be understood as I suppose with reference to the times since the Reformation For in the former times many precedents of like nature might be easily found And being understood of the times since the Reformation it is not so infallibly true but that one precedent of it at the least may be found amongst us Marmaduke Middleton advanced to the Bishoprick of Sr. Davids Anno 1567. after he had sat in that See three and twenty years was finally condemned for many notable misdemeanors not onely to be deprived of his Bishoprick but degraded from all holy Orders Which sentence was accordingly executed by and before the High-Commissioners at Lambeth-house not only by reading of it in Scriptis but by a formal divesting of him of his Episcopall Robes and Priestly Vestments as I have heard by a person of good credit who was present at it And somewhat there is further in the story of this Marmaduke Middleton which concerns the Bishop now before us of whom our Author telleth us further That being prest by two Bishops and three Doctors to answer upon Oath to certain Articles which were tendred to him in the Tower he utterly refused to do it claiming the priviledge of a Peer fol. 159. Which plea was also made by the said Bishop of St. Davids offering to give in his Answer to such Articles as were fram'd against him on his Honour onely but refusing to do it on his Oath Which case being brought before the Lords then sitting in Parliament was ruled against him it being ordered that he should answer upon Oath as in fine he did To this Bishop let us joyn his Chaplain Mr. Osbolstone who being engag'd in the same Bark with his Patron suffered shipwrack also though not at the same time nor on the same occasion Censured in Star-Chamber not onely to lose his Ecclesiasticall Promotions but to corporall punishments Fuller In my weak judgment the Animadvertor had better have omitted this passage of this Bishop's Degradation in this juncture of time where in the repute of that Function runs very low and their adversaries too ready to take all advantage to disgrace it The rather because Bishop Godwin taketh no notice at all thereof but beginneth continueth and concludeth the life and death of this Bishop in lesse then two lines Marmaduke Middleton translated from Ireland died Novemb. 30th 1592. Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceedeth fol. 166. But this last personall penalty he escaped by going beyond Canterbury conceived seasonably gone beyond the Seas whilst he secretly concealed himself in London And he had scap't the last penalty had he staid at home For though Mr. Osbolston at that time conceived the Archbishop to be his greatest enemy yet the Archbishop was resolved to shew himselfe his greatest friend assuring the Author of these Papers before any thing was known of Mr. Osbolstons supposed flight that he would cast himselfe at the Kings feet for obtaining a discharge of that corporal punishment unto which he was sentenced Which may obtain the greater credit First in regard that no course was taken to stop his flight no search made after him nor any thing done in Order to his apprehension And secondly by Mr. Osbolstons readinesse to do the Archbishop all good Offices in the time of his troubles upon the knowledge which was given him at his coming back of such good Intentions But of these private men enough passe we now to the publick Fuller Whether or no he was sought after I know not this I know he was not taken and more do commend his warinesse in his flight than would have praised his valour for staying in hope his Punishment should be remitted It had been most Mercy to stop the denouncing but was a good after-game of pitty to stay the inflicting of so cruell a censure on a Clergyman As the Animadvertor then had the Credit to know so the Author now hath the Charity to believe the Arch-Bishops good resolution However I cannot forget that when the Sentence in the Star-Chamber passed on Bishop Williams where he concurred with the highest in his Fine He publickly professed that He had fallen five times down on his knees before the King in the Bishop's behalf but to no purpose It might be therefore suspected that his intention to do it once for Mr. Osbolston might not have taken effect And therefore had the Arch-Bishop's good resolution been known unto him Mr. Osbolston might most advisedly conceale himselfe Lib. XI Part. II. Containing the last 12. Years of the Reign of King Charls Dr. Heylyn ANd now we come to the last and most unfortunate Part of this King's Reigne which ended in the Losse of his owne Life the Ruine of the Church and the Alteration of the Civill Government Occasioned PRIMARILY as my Author saith by sending a new Liturgy to the Kirk of Scotland Fuller I deny such a Word that I said the Liturgy did PRIMARILY occasion the War with Scotland Rather the cleane contrary may by Charitable Logick be collected from my Words when having reckoned up a Complication of Heart-burnings amongst the Scots I thus Conclude Church-History Book 11. Page 163. Thus was the Scottish Nation full of discontents when this Book being brought unto them bare the Blame of their breaking forth into more dangerous designes as when the Cup is brim-full before the LAST though LEAST superadded drop is charged alone to be the Cause of all the running over Till then that the Word PRIMARILY can be produced out of my Book let the Animadvertor be beheld PRIMARILY as One departed from the Truth and SECONDARILY as a Causelesse accuser of his Brother Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Folio 160. Miseries caused from the sending of the Book of Service or new Liturgy thither which may sadly be termed a
some of the Kings Councill learned in the Laws of this Realm caus'd the said Canons to be read and considered of the King being then present By all which upon due and mature deliberation the Canons were approv'd and being so approv'd were sent back to the Clergy in the Convocation and by them subscribed And certainly it had been strange that they should pass the approbation of the Judges and learned Lawyers had they contained any thing against the fundamentall Laws of the Land the Property of the Subject and the Rights of Parliament or been approv'd of by the Lords of his Majesties Councill had any thing been contained in them derogatory to the Kings Prerogative or tending to faction and sedition So that the foundation being ill laid the superstructures and objections which are built upon it may be easily shaken and thrown down To the first therefore it is ansvvered that nothing hath been more ordinary in all former times than for the Canons of the Church to inflict penalties on such as shall disobey them exemplified in the late Canons of 1603. many of which extend not onely unto Excommunication but even to Degradation and Irregularity for which see Can. 38.113 c. To the second that there is nothing in those Canons which determineâ—h or limiteth the Kings Authority but much that makes for and defendeth the Right of the Subject for which the Convocation might rather have expected thanks then censure from ensuing Parliaments To the third That when the Canon did declare the Government of Kings to be founded on the Law of Nature it was not to condemn all other Governments as being unlawfull but to commend that of the Kings as being the best Nor can it Logically be inferr'd that because the Kingly Government is not receiv'd in all places that therefore it ought not so to be or that the Government by this Canon should be the same in all places and in all alike because some Kings do and may lawfully part with many of their Rights for the good of their Subjects which others do and may as lawfully retain unto themselves To the fourth That the Doctrine of Non-Resistance is built expresly on the words of St. Paul Rom. 13. v. 2. and therefore to condemn the Canon in that behalf is to condemn the Word of God upon vvhich it is founded Finally to the fifth and last That the Statute of 5 6 Edw. 6. declaring that the daies there mentioned shall be kept for Holy-daies and no other relates onely to the abolishing of some other Festivalls which had been formerly observ'd in the Realm of England and not to the disabling of the Church from ordaining any other Holy-dayes on emergent causes in the times to come Fuller DORMIT SECURUS Dr. Heylyn Assuredly that able Lawyer would have spoke more home unto the point could the cause have born it Eloquentem facit causae bonitas in the Orator's language And therefore looking on the heads of the Arguments as our Author represents them to us I must needs think that they were rather fitted to the sense of the House than they were to his own Fuller I now begin to awake and rub my Eyes hearing somewhat wherein I am concerned as if I had unfaithfully related these Arguments I confesse it is but a Breviat of them accommodated to the proportion of my Book and had they been at large much lustre must be lost whilst related seeing none but Mr. Mainard can repeat the Arguments of Mr. Mainard to equal advantage However I had them from as observant and judicious a Person as any in house of Lords and if I should name Him the Animadvertor would believe me herein Dr. Heylyn What influence these Arguments might have on the House of Peers when reported by the Bishop of Lincoln I am not able to affirm But so far I concur with our Author that they lost neither life nor lustre as they came from his mouth who as our Author sayes was a back friend to the Canons because made during his absence and durance in the Tower A piece of ingenuity which I did not look for Fuller There are some Pens that if a Man do look for Ingenuity from them he may look for it Dr. Heylyn The power of Convocation being thus shaken and endangered that of the High Commission and the Bishops Courts was not like to hold the one being taken away by Act of Parliament and the other much weakned in the coercive power thereof by a clause in that Act of which our Author tell us that Fol. 182. Mr. Pim triumphed at this successe crying out digitus Dei it is the finger of God that the Bishops should so supinely suffer themselves to be surprised in their power And well might Mr. Pim triumph as having gain'd the point he aim'd at in subverting the coercive power and consequently the whole exercise of Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction But he had no reason to impute it to the finger of God or to the carelesnesse of the Bishops in suffering themselves to be so supinely surpris'd For first the Bishops saw too plainly that those general words by which they were disabled from inflicting any pain or penalty would be extended to Suspension Excommunication and other Ecclesiastical censures But secondly they saw withall that the stream was too strong for them to strive against most of the Lords being wrought on by the popular party in the House of Commons to passe the Bill Thirdly they were not without hope that when the Scots Army was disbanded and that Nation satisfied by the Kings condescensions to them there might be such an explication made of those general words as to restrain them unto temporal pains and civill penalties by which the censures of the Church might remain as formerly And fourthly in order thereunto they had procured a Proviso to be entred in the House of Peers That the general words in this Bill should extend onely to the High Commission Court and not reach other Ecclesiastical jurisdiction for which consult our Author fol. 181. Having thus passed over such matters as concern the Church we will now look upon some few things which relate to the Parliament And the first is that Fuller I said not Mr. Pim had just cause to triumph yea somewhat followeth in my History to the contrary shewing He had no reason to rejoyce and condemn the Bishops herein seeing not Supinesse but Prudentiall condescention for the time made them rather sufferers then surprized herein Onely I say there are many alive who heard him sing aloud this his Victoria and the Eccho thereof it still soundeth in their Eares The Animadvertor himselfe sometimes triumpheth over my mistakes and carrieth me away in his own conceit whilst still I am sensible of my owne Liberty that I am in a free condition Dr. Heylyn Fol. 174. Dr. Pocklinton and Dr. Bray were the two first that felt the displeasures of it the former for preaching and printing the latter for licensing two Books
and Author's Joynt-desires might have taken Effect there had been no difference about this passage in my Book Tuque domo proprià nos Te Praesul Poteremur Thou hadst enjoy'd thy house and we Prelate had enjoyed Thee But alas it is so He is still and still when all other Bishops are released detained in the Tower where I believe he maketh Gods Service his perfect freedom My words as relating to the time when I wrote them containe too much sorrowfull truth therein Dr. Heylyn Fourthly Archbishop Williams after his restoring unto liberty â—ent not into the Kings Quarters as our Author saith but unto one of his own houses in Yorkshire where he continued till the year 1643. and then came to Oxford not that he found the North too cold for him or the War too hot but to solicit for renâ—wing of his Commendam in the Deanry of Westminster the time for which he was to hold it drawing towards an end Fuller Nothing false or faulty The Arch-bishop of York stayed some weeks after his enlargement at Westminster thence he went privately to the house of Sir Thomas Hedley in Huntingon shire and thence to his Palace at Caâ—ood nigh York where he gave the King a magnificent Intertainment King James setled the Deanry of Westminster under the great Seal on Dr. Williams so long as he should continue Bishop of Lincoln Hinc illa Lacrimae hence the great heaving and hussing at Him because He would not resigne it which was so signal a Monument of his Master's favour unto him Being Arch-bishop of York King Charls confirmed his Deanry unto him for three years in lieu of the profits of his Arch-bishoprick which the King had taken Sede vacante So that it is probable enough the renuing that Tearm might be a Joynt-Motive of his going to Oxford But I see nothing which I have written can be cavilled at except because I call Yorkshire the King's Quarters which as yet was the Kings WHOLE when the Arch-bishop first came thither as being a little before the War began though few Weeks after it became the King's Quarters Such a Prolepsis is familiar with the best Historians and in effect is little more then when the Animadvertor calleth the Gag and Appello Caesarem the Books of Bishop Montague who when they were written by him was no though soon after a Bishop Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds fol. 196. Some of the aged Bishops had their tongues so used to the language of a third Estate that more then once they ran on that reputed Rock in their speeches for which they were publickly shent and enjoyned an acknowledgment of their mistake By whom they were so publickly shent and who they were that so ingenuously acknowledged their mistake as my Author telleth us not so neither can I say whether it be true or false Fuller I tell you again It is true The Earl of Essex and the Lord Say were two of the Lords though this be more then I need discover who checked them And of two of those Bishops Dr. Hall late Bishop of Norwich is gone to God and the other is still alive Dr. Heylyn But I must needs say that there was small ingenuity in acknowledging a mistake in that wherein they had not been mistaken or by endeavouring to avoid a reputed Rock to run themselves on a certain Rock even the Rock of Scandall Fuller Their brief and generall acknowledgment that they vvere sorry that they had spoken in this point vvhat had incurred the displeasure of the Temporall Lords was no trespass on their own ingenuity nor had shadovv of scandall to others therein I confess men must not bear fals-witness either against themselves or others nor may they betray their right especially when they have not onely a personall concernment therein but also are in some sort Feoffees in trust for Posterity However vvhen a predominant Power plainly appears which will certainly over-rule their cause against them without scandall they may not to say in Christian prudence they ought to wave the vindication of their priviledges for the present waiting wishing and praying for more moderate and equall times wherein they may assert their right with more advantage to their cause and less danger to their persons Dr. Heylyn For that the English Bishops had their vote in Parliament as a third Estate and not in the capacity of temporal Barons will evidently appear by these reasons following For first the Clergy in all other Christian Kingdoms of these Northwest parts make the third Estate that is to say in the German Empire as appears by Thuanus the Historian lib. 2. In France as is affirmed by Paulus Aemilius lib. 9. In Spain as testifieth Bodinus in his De Repub. lib. 3. For which consult also to the Generall History of Spain as in point of practise lib. 9 10 11 14. In Hungary as witnesseth Bonfinius Dec. 2. l. 1. In Poland as is verified by Thunus also lib. 56. In Denmark as Pontanus telleth us in Historia rerum Danicarum l. 7. The Swedes observing antiently the same form and order of Government as was us'd by the Danes The like we find in Camden for the Realm of Scotland in which antiently the Lords Spirituall viz. Bishops Abbots Priors made the third Estate And certainly it were very strange if the Bishops and other Prelates in the Realm of England being a great and powerfull body should move in a lower Sphere in England then they do elsewhere But secondly not to stand onely upon probable inferences we find first in the History of Titus Livius touching the Reign and Acts of King Henry the fifth that when his Funerals were ended the three Estates of the Realm of England did assemble togeâ—her and declared his Son King Henry the sixth being an Infant of eight months old to be their Soveraign Lord as his Heir and Successor And if the Lords Spirituall did not then make the third Estate I would know who did Secondly the Petition tendred to Richard Duke of Glocester to accept the Crown occurring in the Parliament Rolls runs in the name of the three Estates of the Realm that is to say The Lords Spirituall and Temporall and the Commons thereof Thirdly in the first Parliament of the said Richard lately Crowned King it is said expresly that at the request and by the consent of the three Estates of this Realm that is to say the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons of this Land assembled in this present Parliament and by Authority of the same it be pronounced decreed and declared That our said Soveraign Lord the King was and is the very and undoubted King of this Realm of England c. Fourthly it is acknowledged so in the Statute of 1 Eliz. cap. 3. where the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and the Commons in that Parliament assembled being said expresly and in terminis to represent the three Estates of this Realm of England did recognize the Queens Majesty to be their true
but on this condition to have all the Land he sued for with the full profits thereof to a minute past and his own costs and charges to a farthing Such and no other agreement will the court of Rome condescend unto Dr. Heylyn But as our Author sayeth that many of the Arch-bishops Equals adjudged that designe of his to be impossible so I may say without making any such odious Comparisons that many of our Author's betters have thought otherwise of it Fuller Amongst which many of his Betters the Animadvertor undoubtedly is one of the Principal Be it so I will endeavour to be as good as I can and will not envy but honour my Betters whose number God increase Sure I am amongst these many of my Betters the difference betwixt us and the Papists is made never a whit the better there remaining still 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and though many may manifest much good wil to advance nothing hath taken Effect to compleate such a composition Dr. Heylyn It was the Petulancy of the Puritans on the one side and the pragmaticalness of 〈◊〉 Jesuits on the other side which made the breach wider than it was at 〈◊〉 first and had these hot Spirits on both sides been charmed a while moderate Men might possibly have agreed on such equal tearms as vvould have laid a sure foundation for the peace of Christendome Fuller Let us behold the Originall breach betvvixt the Church of Rome and Us. I name the Church of Rome first because confident they caused it so that vve may say unto them Pharez The breach be upon them This breach vvas made before either Puritans or Iesuits ever appeared in England As the Animadvertor skill'd in their dates knovveth full vvell It is therefore suspitious that the Wound vvhich vvas made before these parties vvere in being vvill continue if both of them vvere extinct I behold the Colledge of Sorbonists in Paris as far from Jesuitical pragmaticalness and Dr. I. Cosens as one free from puritanical petulancy Yet though the said Doctor hath complyed vvith them so far as he could doe vvith Christian prudence salâ—â conscientiâ And though the Sorbonists are beheld as the most learned and moderate Papists yet I cannot hear of any Accommodation betvvixt them but rather the contrary even in the point of the Apocrypha a controversie so learnedly canvased by the Doctor they being as unvvilling to allovv so few as he so many Books in the Bible to be Canonical And here let me be the Animadvertor's Remembrancer of vvhat perchance he vvould vvillingly forget hovv it vvas not long since he tvvitted me for saying that the difference about the posture of the Communion Table might be accommodated vvith mutual moderation and novv he holdeth By the same means an expedient betvvixt us and the Papists may be advanced Dr. Heylyn Moderate Men might possibly have agreed on such equall termes as would have laid a sure foundation for the Peace of Christendome Fuller My name is Thomas It maketh me the more distrust thereof because I see at this day most cruel Wars betwixt the Crowns of Spain and France both which agree to the heighth in the same Romish Religion I am sorry their differences are paralleled with a sadder instance of the deadly Wars betwixt the Swede and Dane both Lutherans alike And our Sea Wars betwixt us and the Hollander both wel paied for are not yet forgotten All I collect is this that if the agreement betwixt us and Papists were expedited to morrow yet so long as there be severall Greatnesses in Christendome there will be â—â—stlings betwixt them And although they are pleased to score their differences for the greater credit on the account of Conscience and Religion yet what saith St. Iames From whence comes Warres and fightings amongst you Come they not hence even of your Lusts that war in your members And it is a sad truth Such the corruption of the humane Nature that Mens Lives and Lusts will last and end together Dr. Heylyn Now that all these in the Church of Rome are not so stiffely wedded to their own Opinions as our Author makes them appears first by the Testimony of the Archbishop of Spaâ—ato declaring in the high Commission a little before his going hence that He acknowledged the Articles of the Church of England to be true or profitable at the least and none of them Heretical Fuller The Animadvertor hath instanced in an ill Person and in an ill time of the same Person It was just when he was a taking his return to his vomit and to leave the Land When knowing himselfe obnoxious and justly under the lash for his covetous compliance with forreign Invitations of King Iames to get leave to be gone he would say any thing here and unsay it againe elsewhere As little heed is to be given to such a Proteus as hold is to be taken of Him Dr. Heylyn It appears secondly by a Tractate of Franciscus de Sancta Clara as he calleth himself in which he putteth such a Glosse upon the nine and thirty Articles of the Church of England as rendreth them not inconsistent with the Doctrines of the Church of Rome Fuller By that Parenthesis as he calleth himselfe it is left suspitious that his true Name was otherwise And he who would not use his own but a false Name might for ought I know put a false Glosse upon our Articles and though he PUTTETH such a sense upon them it is questionable whether our Articles will accept thereof To PUT something upon sometimes answers to the Latin Word IMPONERE which is to deceive and delude and sometimes is Equivalent to our English Word IMPOSE which soundeth the forceable or fraudulent Obtruding of a thing against the Will and Mind of Him or That whereon it is imposed Lastly the Animadvertor cannot warrant us that the rest of the Church of Rome will consent to the Iudgement of Franciscus de Sancta Clara and if not then is the breach betwixt us left as wide as it was before Dr. Heylyn And if without Prejudice to the Truth the Controversies might have been composed it is most probable that other Protestant Churches would have sued by their Agents to be included in the Peace Fuller The Animadvertor's Prudent and Politick Probability that other Protestant Churches would by their Agents sollicite an Inclusion into such a peace mindeth me of the Distich wrot on the sumptuous Cradle gorgiously trimmed for the Child of Queen Mary by Philip King of Spain Quam Mariae Sobolem Deus Optime Summe dedisti Anglis incolumem redde tuere rege O may the Child to Mary God hath given For ENGLANDS good be guarded safe by Heaven Whereas indeed this Child pretended at White-hall may be said born at Nonsuch proving nothing but a Mock-mother-Tympany I cannot but commend the kindnesse and care of the Animadvertor for keeping this Babe when born I mean the agreement betwixt Us and the Papists But let us behold it born see
