for a while wished well to it afterwards saw their error and repented and being resolved to undo as much as they could what they had most unjustly done they rose up against Henry under the Title of Lord Henry Derby and put out a most remarkable Remonstrance against his Usurpation and an Excommunication against him which may be seen in Foxe's Acts and Monuments of that Reign and of which because it is so scarce to be had I have put an abridgment in the * N. VI. Appendix and in the Reign of his Grandson Henry the VI. The whole Peerage then assembled in a Parliament of that Prince's own calling being made sensible of their error and the injustice of their Ancestors in deposing Richard the II. and setting up Henry the IV. declared upon Richard Duke of York's Claim by Birth-right and proximity of Blood that his Title could not be defeated but that the Crown of Right belong'd to him this with all that was done thereupon may be seen in Roll. Parl. 39. Henry VI. N. 10. as it is in Cotton's Abridgement put out by Mr. Pryn or rather in the Record at large as it is Printed in the 31 page of the * An Enquiry into the remarkable instances of History and Parliament Records used by the Author of the Unreasonableness of a new Separation whether they are faithfully cited and applied Book mentioned in the Margent and I mention it because I think it as well as the Book in which it is Printed worthy to be read of all men And what another Parliament 1 Edw. IV. declared against the Usurpation of the three Henries as against God's Law Man's Allegiance and unnatural in its self I need not recite here because it is to be seen in the Printed Statutes of that Reign And in our Preachers former times of Hypocrisie the Times of the great Rebellion which began in 41 many Persons of Honour and Quality in both Kingdoms who were concern'd in the Prologue or first Scenes or Acts of that bloody Tragedy being afterwards convinced of their Errors not only started back and repented but brought forth Fruits meet for such Repentance and I need but name the Great Montrose his Patron the Duke of Lauderdale and Mr. Henderson of his own Country as Examples of what I say and the two Heroick Penitents the Lords Hepton and Capell both of Immortal Memory in ours The former of these Lords as Report saith went with a Rope about his Neck as a Token of his Repentance to throw himself at the King's Feet and how they both after repentance signaliz'd themselves in his service and the Lord Capell in his Son 's is known so well that I need not relate it So William Pryn not to mention all the Commissioners who were sent to treat with the King at Holmby-House started back also though it is to be wished they had done it sooner and how severely he censured his old Actions and endeavoured to undo what he had done may be seen from what he hath written in his Plea for the Lords his Concordia Discors and a Paragraph or two in his Preface to Cotton's Abridgment which I have also put in the †N. VI. Appendix Nay the Members of that very Convention which called home Charles the II. were the men that began and carried on the Rebellion against his Father and yet by God's Grace they started so far back as to declare point blank against their former Practise that by the undoubted and fundamental Laws of this Kingdom neither the Peers of this Realm nor the Commons nor both together nor the People collectively nor representatively nor any other Persons whatsoever ever had have or ought to have any Coercive Power over the Persons of the Kings of this Realm And sometime before that when the King was in his return the Lords and Commons of that Convention together with the Lord Mayor Common Council-men and Freemen of London in a * Appen N. VII Proclamation did declare That His Majesty's Rights and Titles to his Kingdoms were every way compleat by the death of his Royal Father without the Ceremony or Solemnity of a Proclamation and that the Imperial Crown of this Realm did by inherent Birth right descend to him as next lineal and rightful Heir of the Blood Royal. Here are staâ—ters back with a witness and I hope their starting back from a Cause in which they were so long engaged was neither a reproach to them nor an argument for the goodness but the intollerable illness thereof And so if any of our suffering Clergy did as he affirms long for the Revolution and wish well to it their starting back shews no more than that they were mislead in the Croud and afterwards thought otherwise of it than they did at the first Therefore God is to be praised and they commended that they started back so soon and proceeded no further with relucting consciences as many others unhappily did I could tell of one now in the highest place of the Church who said sometime after the Revolution said to this effect That it was one entire piece of iniquity and after that again in the plural Phrase That we and by consequence he had gone too far and yet he goes on still and I fear will not start back Others I could name to their honour who proceeded so far as to take the Oath and to comply for sometime after but since God be praised have started back and offered like true Penitents to do pennance and begg'd Absolution for what they thought so grievous a sin and now I have told it let our Preacher make what he can of their starting back but when Dr. Sherlock started from the other side to which these men went back I never heard that he had the least remorse for continuing so long in his great error as he must acknowledge it to have been much less that he was willing to do pennance for it besides the pennance he did in Print or desired the Absolution of the Church After this he proceeds to tell us that some in high Stations that is some Bishops of the Church would neither openly declare for it nor against it according to the authority of their Characters one of which certainly they ought to have done if they did then judge it so unlawful as they would now represent it they ought to have thunder'd both with their Sermons and Censures against it especially in the first Fermentation when a vigorous opposition might have had considerable effects and would have made them look like Confessors indeed to which they afterwards pretended Here our Preacher reflects upon our suffering Fathers for not having declared and acted against the Revolution betimes and thunders against them for not having thundered with their Sermons and Censures against in the first Fermentation i. e. when the Mob were Masters in all places and would have tore them in pieces for it as some of them were threatned and that indeed would
