have heard my many Sermons on this Subject in London and else where but especially to my Book called TRUTH MAINTAINED made against Mr. Saltmarsh wherein I have heartily to place that first largely and to my power strongly vindicated Non licet Populo renuente Magistratu Reformationem moliri Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 54. This Parliament being very active in matters of Religion the Convocation younger Brother thereunto was little imployed and less regarded Our Author follows this Design of putting matters of Religion into the power of Parliaments though he hath chosen a very ill Medium to conclude the point This Parliament as active as he seems to make it troubled it self so little with matters of Religion that had it done lesse it had done just nothing All that it did was the Repealing of some Acts made in the time of Queen Mary and setling matters in the same State in which she found them at her first coming to the Crown The Common Prayer Book being reviewed and fitted to the use of the Church by some godly men appointed by the Queen alone receiv'd no other confirmation in this present Parliament than what it had before in the last years of King Edward The Supremacy was again restor'd as it had been formerly the Title of Supreme head which seem'd offensive unto many of both Religions being changed into that of Supreme Governor nothing in all this done de novo which could intitle this Parliament to such activity in matters of Religion but that our Author had a minde to undervalue the Convocation as being little imployed and lesse regarded I grant indeed that the Convocation of that year did only meet for forms sake without acting any thing c. Fuller Yea God hath done great things for us already whereof we rejoyce And although the Animadvector is pleased to say That if this Parliament had done lesse it had done just nothing these truly were MAGNALIA so farre as the word is applyable to humane performances Dr. Heylin In the mean time I would fain know our Authors Reason why speaking of the Convocation and the Parliament in the notion of Twins the Convocation must be made the younger Brother Assuredly there had been Convocations in the Church of England some hundreds of years before the name of Parliament had been ever heard of which he that lists to read the collection of Councels published by that learned and industrious Gentleman Sir Henry Spelman cannot but perceive Fuller I confesse Convocations in their general notion more ancient and regular and completely constituted than Parliaments Yet of these Twins I called the Convocation the younger Brother properly enough First Because modern Convocations as modelled since the submission of the Clergy to Henry the eighth are many years junior to Parliaments Secondly The Convocations alwaies began the day after the Parliament the Archbishops and Bishops alwaies attending the King the first day in Parliament Lastly The Parliament hath made a younger Brother of the Convocation And there being a priority in Power he in effect is the Heir and elder Brother who confineth the other to a poor pittance and small portion as our Age can well remember Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 71. This year the spire of Poles steeple covered with lead strangely fell on fire More modestly in this than when he formerly ascribes the burning of some great Abbeys to Lightning from Heaven And so this steeple was both reported and believed to be fired also it being an ordinary thing in our common Almanacks till these latter times to count the time among the other Epoches of Computation from the year that St. Paul-steeple was fired with Lightning But afterwards it was acknowledged as our Author truly notes to be done by the negligence of a Plummer carelesly leaving his Coles therein since which acknowledgement we finde no mention of this accident in our yearly Almanacks But whereas our Author finds no other Benefactors for the repairing of this great Ruine but the Queens bounty and the Clergies benevolence I must needs tell him that these were onely accessories to the principal charge The greatest part hereof or to say better the whole work was by the Queen imposed on the City of London it being affirmed by Iohn Stow that after this mischance the Queens Majesty directed her Letters to the Major willing him to take order for the speedy repairing of the same c. Fuller Non est tanti all this Note The Queen and Clergy are onely mentioned by way of eminence not exclusion of others The Animadvertor commonly layeth it to my charge that in my writing I am injurious to the Church and Clergy and now he is offended with me for giving them too much honour Sure I am Mr. Camden speaking of the repairing of S. Pauls on this occasion ascribes it to the great bounty of the Queen and money gathered of the Churchmen and others where his particular nomination onely of the Queen and Church-men making them paramount Benefactors Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 72. In the Convocation now sitting the nine and thirty Articles were composed agreeing for the main with those set forth in the Reign of King Edward the sixth though in some particulars allowing more liberty to dissenting judgements This is the active Convocation which before I spake of not setâ—ing matters of Religion in the same estate in which they were left by King Edward but altering some Articles expunging others adding some de novo and fitting the whole body of them unto edification Not leaving any liberty to dissenting judgements as our Author would have it but binding men unto the literal and Grammatical sense Fuller But the literal and Grammatical sense is worded in so favourable and receptive terms that two opposite parties both wellâ—skilled in Grammer have with great assurance of successe pleaded them in their defence In such Cases when the Controversie is admissive of a latitude as not necessary to salvation the pious and learned Penners of the Articles though they did not purposely use Cheverel expressions to afford shelter to equivocation yet prudently seeing that all things in the Articles were not of equall concernment and politickly â—ore-seeing men would be divided and differ in their judgements about them selected phrases Grammatically admissive of several senses all consistent with Salvation and would draw their words no closer for fear of strangling tender Consciences Hence is it that in the Question Whether Concupiscence be properly a sin in the Regenerate both parties appeal unto the Article equally perswaded there so finde favour in their several Opinions as indeed like a well drawn Picture it seemeth to Eye them both and yet frown on neither And one may read in the works of King Iames that on this account he highly commendeth the discretion and moderation of the Composers of our Articles Dr. Heylin They had not otherwise attained to the end they aimed at which was ad tollendam opinionum
in that time are not Precedential to warrant Posterity and the Air of that Torrid Zone will not fit the Bodyes in our Temperate Climate Dr. Heylyn Nor find we any thing of the Convocations of Queen Elizabeths time except that of the year 1562. and that not fairly dealt with neither as is elsewhere shewed though there passed many Canons in the Convocation of the year 1571. and of the year 1585. and the year 1597. all Printed and still publickly extant besides the memorable Convocation of the year 1555. in which the Clergy gave the Queen a Benevolence of 2 s. in the pound to be levyed by Ecclesiastical Censures without relating to any subsequent confirmation by Act of Parliament as had accustomably been used in the Grant of Subsidies Fuller Bernardus non vidit omnia I could not come to the knowledge of every particular But I confess I cannot conjecture the cause of the Animadvertor's retrogradâ— motion who after so many years in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth goeth back again to the year 1555. Which was four years before she came to the Crown Dr. Heylyn It might have been expected also that we should have found in a Church-History of Brittain the several degrees and steps by which the Heterodoxies and Superstitions of the Church of Rome did creep in amongst us and the degrees by which they were ejected and cast out again and the whole Reformation setled upon the Doctrine of the Apostles attended by the Rites and Ceremonies of the Primitive times Fuller I hope the peruser of my Book will be sensible of no defect but that the same in a good degree is performed by me on several occasions Dr. Heylyn As also that some honorable mention should be found of those gallant Defences which were made by Dr. Bancroft Dr. Bilson Dr. Bridges Dr. Cosins and divers others against the violent Batteries and Assaults of the Puritan Faction in Queen Elizabeths time and of the learned Writings of B. Buckeridge B. Morton Dr. Sutcliff Dr. Burges c. in justification of the Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of England against the remnants of that scattered and then broken Faction in the time of King Iames of which we have Ne gry quidem not a word delivered Nor could it stand with his design which will discover it self in part in this Introduction and shall more fully be discovered in the Animadversions that it should be otherwise Fuller I answer First no Drag-net can be so comprehensive as to catch all Fish and Fry in the River I mean no Historian can descend to every particular Secondly What if I left that piece in the Dish for manners sake I must not ingross all History to my self but leave some to such as shall succeed me in the same Subject Thirdly the Reader in perusing my Book will bear me witness that most of these have their true Encomiums on the same account and especially Dr. Bancroft Dr. Bilson Dr. Cosins Fourthly if my omission of his Book hath offended B. Morton my asking will be having the pardon of so vivacious a piety who being past the age of a man now leads the life of an Angel Lastly I have a Book of the Lives of all English Worthies God send it good success which had been in print if not obstructed by the intervening of this Contest And coming forth will be suppletory of all such defects Dr. Heylyn All which together make it cleer and evident that there is too little of the Church or Ecclesiastical History in our Authors Book And that there is too much of the State or Civil History will be easily seen by that unnecessary intermixture of State-Concernments not pertinent to the business which he hath in hand Fuller I answer first in general Such the sympathy betwixt the embracing Twins Church and State that sometimes 't is both painful and pity to part them More particularly such passages have at the least a cast or eye of Church-colour in them or else they are inserted for necessity Ne detur vacuum for meer lack of Church-matter All the Ecclesiastical History in Mr. Fox during the Reign of Edward the fourth will not fill his hollow Pen the cause why he makes it up with History of the State and I sometimes do the like Lastly it is done for Variety and then commonly I crave the Readers leave which I hope is no offence Must I turn School-boy again and the Animadvertor be my School-master to give me a Theam that I must write on no other Subject but what he appoints me Dr. Heylyn Of this sort to look no further is the long Will and Testament of King Henry the eighth with his Gloss or Comment on the same taking up three whole sheets at least in which there is not any thing which concerns Religion or which relates unto the Church or Church-affairs although to have the better colour to bring it in he tells us that he hath transcribed it not onely for the rarity thereof but because it contained many passages which might reflect much light upon Church-History Fuller I answer first All ancient Wills have something of Sacredness in them beginning In the name of God Amen Secondly they are proved in the Court-Christian which evidenceth something of Ecclesiasticalness in them Thirdly Kings have ever been beheld as mixt Persons wherein Church and State are blended together Fourthly the Will of King Henry the eighth in that Active-juncture of times is more than the Will of an ordinary King Fiftly it is most remarkable even in Church-History if only on this Account to shew that he who had violated the Testaments of so many Founders and Benefactors had hardly any one Particular of his own Will performed Sixthly it never was and perchance had I not done it never had been Printed Seventhly false and imperfect Copies thereof pass about in Manuscript Lastly I have received so much thanks from the Animadvertor's Betters for printing of it that I will freely pardon and pass by his causless cavil against me for the same Dr. Heylyn Lib. 5. fol. 243. Of this sort also is his description of the pomp and order of the Coronation of King Charles which though he doth acknowledge not to be within Pale and Park of Ecclesiastical History yet he resolves to bring it in because it comes within the Purlews of it as his own words are But for this he hath a better reason than we are aware of that is to say That if hereafter Divine Providence shall assign England another King though the transactions herein be not wholly precedential something of State may be chosen out gratefull for imitation Lib. 11. fol. 124. As if the Pomp and order of a Coronation were not more punctually preserved in the Heralds Office who have the ordering of all things done without the Church and are eye-Witnesses of all which is done within than in our Authors second-hand and imperfect Collections Fuller I answer first a Coronation is Church-work performed therein
by an Arch-bishop attended with prayers and a Sermon 2. I never expected that a Chaplain to K. Charles should find fault with any thing tending to the honour of his Lord How can any good Disciple grudge at what is expended 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 on the buriall of the Memory of his Master being the last in this kind 3. My Collections I mean printed by me but observed by my most worthy Friend are abating onely the uncertain place of the Lord Maior most critically exact Lastly though the Heralds Office doth carefully preserve all such Ceremonyes yet cannot all persons living at great distance and desiring information herein have on all occasions so facill and convenient access to their Office as to my Printed Book Dr. Heylyn The like may be said also of the quick and active Raigns of Edward the the sixth and Queen Mary in which the wâ—ole Body of the reformed Religion was digested setled and destroyed sufficient of it self to make a competent Volume but contracted by our Author like Homer's Iliads in the Nut-shell into less than 25. sheets And yet in that small Abstract we find many Impertinences as to the work he hath in hand that is to say the great proficiency of King Edward in his Grammar Learning exemplified in three pieces of Latine of his making when he was but eight or nine yerrs old Fuller Just reason of such contraction because of Mr. Fox his dilatation on the same Where he found my fault he if so pleased might have found my defence viz. If Papists preserve the Nailes and Hairs of their supposed Saints give me leave to Record the first Essays of this Pious Prince especially they being unprinted rarieties with which no Divine or Schollar save the Animadvertor alone would or could have found any fault Dr. Heylyn The long Narrative of Sir Edward Montague Chief Justice of the Common Pleas to vindicate himself from being a voluntary Agent in the business of the Lady Iane Gray needlesly inserted Fuller King Edward the sixth his passing the Crown over the heads of his two Sisters to his Cousin the Lady Iane is a piece of Church-History because the continuing of the Protestant Religion is all the plausible Plea for the same and the fair varnish of so foul a Ground-work This passage of Consequence is defectively delivered by our Historians some Circumstances thereof being hitherto lockt from the world Some have endevoured to force the lock by their bold Conjectures I am the first that have brought the true key and opened it from Judge Montague's own hand truely Passive though charged to be most Active therein driven with the Tempest of Duke Dudley's anger against the Tide of his own Inclinations I prize a Dram of acceptance from the Ingenuous Reader above a Pound of the Animadvertor's Cavilling which is offended with my inserting of so authentique and informative a Manuscript Dr. Heylyn Needless the full and punctual relation of Wyats Rebellion and the Issue of it though acted upon some false grounds of Civil Interess without relating to Religion or to Church Affairs Infinitum esset ire per singula c. Fuller This Rebellion was grounded on Erronious Principles of Religion and therefore Goodman Il-man did in his Book of that Subject entitle it GODS-CAUSE and though souly mistaken therein it is enough to reduce this Design to Church-concernment Had I omitted it the Animadvertor would have charged me with Puritanical pardon the Prolepsis compliance so hard it is to please him either full or fasting Dr. Heylyn But well it were if onely Aberrations from Historicall truth were to be met with in our Author In whom we find such a continual vein of Puritanism such dangerous grounds for Inconformity and Sedition to be raised upon as easily may pervert the unwary Reader whom the facetiousness of the style like a Hook baited with a painted Fly may be apt to work on Murthering of Kings avowed for a necessary prudence as oft as they shall fall into the power of their Subjects Lib. 4. fol. 109. Fuller The Page cited by him happily happeneth to be the Initial One of a Section and hath no more therein then as followeth Church-History Book 4. Page 109. Soon after his Death K. Edward was much lamented by those of whom in his liâ—e time he was never beloved Whether this proceeded from the meer mutaâ—ility â—f mens minds weary to loiter long in the lazie posture of the same affection Or whether it proceeded from the Pride of Mortimer whose insolence grew intolerable Or whether because his punishment was generally apprehended too heavy for his fault so that Deposition without Death or at the worst Death without such unhumane cruelty had been sufficient One of our English-Poet-Historians accquainteth us with a passage which to my knowledge appeareth not in any other Author This all in that page Reader I request thee do Me thy Self and Truth right Whether can my avowance of King-murdering be collected from any thing here written by me But because some will say the Quotation possibly may be mistaken If any thing sounding to that sense there or elsewhere be found in my Book may the Ravens of the Valleys whom I behold as loyall Subjects in Vindication of the Eagle their Soveraign pick out my eyes for delivering such rebellious Doctrine Dr. Heylyn The Coronation of Kings and consequently their succession to the Crown of England made to depend upon the suffrage and consent of the People Lib. 11. fol. 122.

Thou shalt not have other gods before me and the Animadvertor knoweth well that the Originall importeth Coram me that is Thou shalt have none other in my sight or presence Now for quietnesse sake let the result of this long discourse so far as I can understand be granted him and it amounts to no more then to put the Brittains in the same form with the Grecians instructed by their Druids in the worship of one God as well and as far as the Grecians were in the same Lesson by their Philosophers Now what the Grecians held and did in this point will appear by the practise of the Athenians whose City was the Mistris of Greece Staple of Learning and Palace of Philosophers and how well the Athenians worshipped one God we have from the infallible witness of St. Paul whose spirit was stirred within him whilst he saw the City wholly given to idolatry Whence it will follow that the Brittaines form-fellowes with the Grecians were wholly given to Idolatry which is as much and more then I said before And now the Reader may judge what progress the Animadvertor hath made in confuting what I have written yea less then the Beast Pigritia in Brasil which as he telleth us elsewhere goeth not so far in fourteen daies as one may throw a stone Yea our Adversary hath not gone at all save backward and if he doth not mend his pace it will be late before he commeth to his lodging Here let me mind the Animadvertor that my Church-History thus beginneth That we may the more freely and fully pay the tribute of our thanks to Gods goodness for the Gospell which we now enjoy let us recount the sad condition of the Brittains our Predecessors before the Christian faith was preached unto them If therefore the Animadvertor by his tedious discourse endeavouring to UN-IDOLATRIZE the Brittains as much as he could I say if hereby he hath hindred or lessened any mans paying of his thanks to God he hath done a thankless office both to God and Man therein Dr Heylyn Our Author proceedeth fol. 3. It facilitated the entrance of the Gospell hither that lately the Roman Conquest had in part civilized the South of this Island by transporting Colonies and erecting of Cities there Than which there could not any thing be said more different from the truth of story or from the time of that Conversion which we have in hand performed as all our latter Writers and amongst them our Author himself have affirmed from Gildas who lived in the fourth Century of the Christian Church Tempore summo Tiberii Caesaris toward the latter end of the Reigne of Tiberius Cesar that is to say about thirty seven years after Christs Nativity at what time the Romans had neither erected any one City nor planted any one Colony in the South parts of the Island For though Iulius Cesar in pursuance of his Gallick Conquest had attempted this Island crossed the Thames and pierced as far as Verulamium in the County of the Cattieuchlani now Hartfordshire yet either finding how difficult a work it was like to prove or having business of more moment he gave over the enterprize resting contented with the honour of the first discovery Et ostendisse potiùs quà m trad disse as we read in Tacitus Nothing done after this in order to the Conquest of Brittain untill the time of Claudius Augustus would by no means be perswaded to the undertaking and much less Tiberius in whose last years the Gospell was first preach'd in Brittain as before was said Concilium id Divus Augustus vocabat Tiberius praecipue And though Caligula leaving the honour of this Conquest to his Uncle Claudius who next succeeded in the Empire and being invited into Brittain by a discontented party amongst the Natives reduc'd some part thereof into the form of a Roman Province Of this see Tacitus at large in the life of Agricola By which it will appear most clearly that there was neither City of the Romans erection nor Colony of their plantation till the time of Claudius and consequently no such facilitating of the work by either of those means which our Author dreams of But from the Time proceed we to the Author of this first Conversion of which thus our Author Fuller In the first place know Reader that Mr. Burton in his late learned Notes on Antoninus justifieth that Iulius Cesar did Colonize what ever the Animadvertor saith to the contrary some part of this Land otherwise his whole Conquest would have unraveled after his departure and his Successors had had their work to begin afresh 2ly I say not the first entrance but the Entrance of the Gospell was facilitated by the Roman Conquest The entrance of the Gospell into this Island was so far from being done in an instant or simul semel that it was not res unius seculi the product of one age but was successively done 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 at sundry times and in divers manners So that this extensive entrance of the Christian Religion gradually insinuating it self took up a century of years from the latter end of Tiberius and so forwards Christianity entred not into this Island like Lightning but like light None can behold this Essay thereof in the time of Tiberius otherwise then a morning-Star some forty years after the day dawned and lastly under King Lucius that Leuer-Maure or the great light the Sun of Religion may be siad to arise before which time the South of this Island was sufficiently Colonized by the Romans whereby Commerce and Civility ushered Christianity into Brittain Yet to clear my words not from untruth in themselves but mistakes in others and to avoid all appearance of falshood it shall be altered God-willing in the next Edition It facilitated the entrance and propagation of the Gospell here c. Dr. Heylyn Parsons the Iesuite mainly stickleth for the Apostle Peter to have first preached the Gospell here And our Author doth as mainly stickle against it The Reason which induced Parsons so to stickle in it was as our Author thinks and telleth us fol. 4. to infer an Obligation of this Island to the See of Rome And to exempt this Island from that Obligation our Author hath endeavoured to disprove the Tradition Fuller That the Iesuite furiously driveth on that designe appeareth to any that peruse his Works and your Author conceiveth his owne Endeavours lawfull and usefull in stopping his full Carrere and disobliging the Church of England from a Debt as uniustly pretended as vehemently prosecuted Et veniam pro laude petit laudatus abunâ—e Non fastiditus si tuus Author erit Your Author for his praise doth pardon crave If not despis'd his praise enough shall have It is therefore but hard measure for you to require his good intentions if failing in successe with contempt and reproach Dr. Heylyn Whereas indeed St. Peters preaching in this Island if he were the first that preach't here in
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
I have dated the submission of the Clergy to the King not from the first private performance but the passing thereof into Print and publique cognisance Thus the Age of Children are by their Parents reckoned from their birth but by others from their entrance in the Register But the main fault and that a foul one if true layed to my charge is for weakning the Authority of Church and subjecting it to the power of Parliaments But know it is past the might and spight of the most malicious man finally to weaken the just Authority of the Church God having solemnly promised That the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it Yet Princes as King Henry the eighth did might retrence the Power of the Church or ambitious Church-men rather when they invaded the just priviledges of others I shall onely return a few plain and general answers to what is objected First before I entred on the difficult Subject of Synods and Convocations before and since the Clergies Submission with their respective powers I placed as followeth Church-History Book 1. pag. 191. This I humbly conceive to be the difference betwixt the three kindes of Convocations submitting what I have written to the censure and correction of the learned in the Law conscious of my own ignorance therein as indeed such skill neither is to be expected or required in one of my profession who am ready with willingnesse yea with chearfulnesse yea with thankfulnesse to God and man publickly to recall and retract what any such convince me to have mistaken herein hoping that my stumbling in so dark a subject may prevent the failing of others Having thus humbly desired I say not deserved favour I hope it will be indulged unto me Secondly I presume to tender this I hope reasonable motion to the Reader that seeing the Animadvertor not onely freely confesseth this Subject to be an intricate Labyrinth but also fairly acknowledgeth that he findeth the Positions I maintain in SOME OTHER AUTHORS that I may be discharged and that the guilt if any may be derived on such Authors as have misguided me Thirdly When I use the word Parliament it expoundeth it self what was meant thereby capable in that age of no other comment viz. The aggregation of the King Lords and Commons Fourthly I distinguish betwixt a consultive conclusive and punitive power in matters of Religion The consultive power God hath intrusted his Church with and the Clergy as the Representative thereof The conclusive power also is invested in them so far forth as to declare what is Orthodox and what Heretical But the punitive power especially when exceeding Church Censors and extending to Life Limb and Estate is in the Parliament that so neither Royal Prerogative nor Subjects Right may be injured Fifthly I distinguish betwixt the power which the Convocation had over the Clergy and what they have over the Laity Over the Estates of the latter they have no power As for the Clergy they are all represented by their voluntary elections in their Clerks or Proctors Volenti non fit injuria A man that is willing is not wronged What summes therefore they give away of the Clergy they may be presumed impowred therein with the consent of the Clergy However to clear all doubts the consent of Parliament hath since the Submission of the Clergy been required unto it As for the black Swan in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I mean that single and signal instance of thaâ— Unparliament-impowred-Convocation which gave that supplimental Subsidie to Queen Elizabeth I humbly conceive that the popularity of so peerlesse a Princesse the necessity of her occasions and the tranquilitie of those times a happinesse denyed in our Age made that unquestioned which might be questionable if any turbulent Clergy-man had proved recusant in payment As to the Convocation 1640. let me request the Reader that I may without danger humbly tender my opinion therein That Convocation as all others consisted of Bishops Deans Archdeacons and Clerks Of these the three former acted onely in their personal capacities and carrying their own Purses in their own pockets might give Subsidies to the King to what proportion they pleased and justifie the doing thereof Not so the fourth and last Members being Clerks chosen for their respective Cathedrals and Diocesses legally to sit as long as the Parliament lasted After the dissolution whereof they desisted to be publique Persons lost the notion of Representatives and returned to their private condition In which capacity they might have given for themselves what sums they pleased but could not vote away the estates of other Clergy-men except the respective Cathedrals and Diocesses had re-Elected them which had it been done they might no doubt have justifyed the giving away of Subsidies as authorized thereunto though the Parliament had been dissolved seeing every man may doe with his owne as he pleaseth and the diffusive Clergy were justly interpreted to doe what was done by their Proctors Truth may be blamed but cannot be shamed and I have unbosomed my thoughts and judgment herein But this outswelleth the proportion of my booke and let me make a faire motion to the Animadvertor I resume my two former Propositions viz. 1 The proceedings of the Canon Law in what touched temporals of Life Limb and Estate was alwaies limited with the secular Lawes and Nationall Customes of England 2 That the King by consent of Parliament directed the proceedings of Ecclesiasticall Courts against declared Hereticks so that they could not punish them in Life or Limbe but as limited by the Statute If the Animadvertor who hath leisure and abilitie be pleased in confutation of these my Propositions to write a few sheets it being richly worth his and the Readers paines cleerly briefly fully and fairly without the least dash of ill language subscribing his name thereunto I will God willing returne him my answere qualified accordingly and though I confesse the Animadvertor hath the advantage of me at the weapon of Law yet my confidence of a good Cause will make mee undertake the Challenge alwaies provided That no advantage be taken against us by any for delivering our Judgements and Consciences in so nice a Controversie For the present I forbeare because this dispute is substantive enough to stand by it self and too large to bee adjected to this booke Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 253. I have heard saith he that Queen Elizabeth being informed that Dr. Pilkington Bishop of Durham had given ten thousand pounds in marriage with his Daughter and being offended that a Prelates daughter should equall a Princesse in Portion took away one thousand pounds a year from that Bishoprick and assigned it for the better maintenance of the Garrison of Barwick In telling of which story our Author commits many mistakes as in most things else For first to justifie the Queens displeasure if she were displeased he makes the Bishop richer and the Portion greater than indeed they were The ten thousand pounds Lib
dissent from him rendring my reason for the same Dr. Heylin But whereas he tels us in the following words that the name of Puritan in that notion began this year viz. 1564. I fear he hath anticipated the time a little Genebrard a right good Chronologer placing it ortos in Anglia Puritanos about two years after Anno 1566 c. Fuller I answer First Let the Animadvertor keep his fears for me to himself and not be solicitous in my behaâ—f Secondly If the time be anticipated but a little these necessary Animadversions needed not to take notice thereof Thirdly Genebrards placing the beginning of the Name Puritan about two years after intimates a latitude in his Computation Fourthly Genebrard Anno 1566. calleth them ortos but not orientes in Anglia Puritanos And when I speak of the beginning of the name I relate to it rising not risen Fifthly Genebrard is so disaffected to our Religion he is not to be credited taking all implicitly out of rayling Saunders Witnesse this eminent Note amongst the rest Anno 1570. UNCTI in Surria Comitatu Angliae è Calvinii Schola oâ—iuntur qui docent peccare neminem nisi qui veritatem ab ipsis praedicatam non recâ—pit The ANOINTED Scholars of Calvin did rise this year in Surry an English County who teach that every man must sin that will not imbrace their Doctrine all which is a notorious untruth Lastly The Animadvertor cannot justly be angry with me if I antedated the Puritans by two years seeing he findeth the Lineaments of the Puritan Platform in the Reign of King Henry the eighth twenty years at least beâ—ore my mention of them Dr. Heylin But why our Author should call the Bishop of Londons House by the name of the Popes Palace I doe very much wonder unlesse it were to hold conformity with the style of Martin Mar-Prelate and the rest of that Faction Amongst whom nothing was more common than to call all Bishops Petty-Popes and more particularly to call the Archbishop of Canterbury the Pope of Lambeth and the Bishop of London Pope oâ— London But I hope more charitably than so being more willing to impute it to the fault of the Printers than the Pen of our Author c. Fuller It falls out happily for me that Grindal was then Bishop oâ— London one so far from Popery that he is beheld under an opposite notion I wonder the Animadvertor will lay so much weight on a plain mistake of the Presse Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 98. Against covetous Conformists it was provided that no spiritual Person Colledge or Hospital shall let Lease other than for twenty one years or three lives c. No mention in the Statute of Covetous Conformists I am sure of that and therefore no provision to be made against them the Covetous Conformist is our Authors own c. Fuller I say in the same place that in this Parliament Laws were enacted against Poiniards with three Edges Conformists they must needs be who enjoyed so great Church-preferment and Covetous I may call them who made so unreasonable Leases But of this I have largely spoken in my Answer to the Introduction Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 121. These Prophecyings were founded on the Apostles Precept For ye may all Prophesie one by one that all may learn and all be comforted but so as to make it out they were fain to make use of humane prudential additions Not grounded but pretended to be grounded on those words of St. Paul c. Fuller Grounded shall be altered God willing into pretended to be grounded and then I hope no shadow of offence Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 135. A loud Parliament is alwaies attended with a silent Convocation as here it came to passe The Activity of the former in Church matters lâ—st the latter nothing to doe A man would think by this that the Parliament of this year being the 23 of the Quâ—en had done great â—eats in matters of Religion as making new Articles of Faith or confirming Canons or something else of like importance c. Fuller It lyeth not in the Power of Parliament to make new ARTICLES of FAITH nor did they ever pretend unto it Nor lyeth it in the Power of the Church to make any new ARTICLES Canons they may make for the Descipline and may declare and publish Articles of faith But God alone in Scripture hath made them to which man under an heavy curse may make no Addition Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 187. That since the High Commission and this Oath it is that ex officio which he meaneth were taken away by the Act of Parliament it is to be hoped that if such swearing were so great a grievance nihil analogum nothing like unto it which may amount to as much shall hereafter be substituted in the room thereof What could be said more plain to testifie his disaffections one way and his zâ—al another The High-Commission and the Oath reproached as Grievances because the greatest â—urbs of the Puritan party and the strongest Bulwarks of the Church a congratulation to the times for abolishing both though as yet I finde no Act of Parliament against the Oath except it be by consequence and illation onely and finally a hope exprest that the Church never shall revert to her former power in substituting any like thing in the place thereof by which the good people of the Land may be stopt in their way to the fifth Monarchy so much sought after And yet this does not speak so plain as the following passage Fuller God restore the Church in his good time to her just rights and give her wisdome moâ—e raâ—ely to use it I am â—oâ— no fift Monarchy or Anarchyâ—heâ— â—heâ— but desire from my heart that no such analogical Oath may be offered to me and let the Animadvertor if desirous thereof have it to himself and much good may it doe him Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 193.

from Spalato nunc quidem parum Colitur ob Turcarum Viciniam A judicious Writer valuing his Arch-bishoprick as it seemeth to advantage estimateth it annually at 3000 Crowns which falleth a fourth part short of 1000 pounds sterling a summe exceeded in most of our middling Bishopricks Besides the Arch-bishoprick of Spalato was clogged and incumbred with a Pension of 500 Crowns the sixth part of his Revenues payable with the arrears by the Popes Command to one Andrutius The payment of which Sixt part went as much against Spalato's stomach as the payment of the Fifts now a dayes doth from the present Possessors to sequestred Minister Dr. Heylin He could not hope to mend his fortunes by his coming hither or to advance himself to a more liberal entertainment in the Church of England than what he had attained to in the Church of Rome Covetousness therefore could not be the motive for leaving his own Estate of which he had been possessed 14. years in our Authors reckoning to betake himself to a strange Country where he could promise himself nothing but protection and the freedome of conscience Our Author might have said with more probability that covetousness and not conscience was the cause of his going hence no bait of profit or preferment being laid before him to invite him hither as they were both by those which had the managing of that designe to allure him hence c. Fuller Dark men are the best Comment upon themselves whose precedent are best expounded by their subsequent actions Who so considereth the rapacity and tenacity of this Prelate in England will easily believe that a two-handed covetousness moved him to leave his native Country and come over hither One to save the other to gain To save that is to evade the payment of the aforesaid Pension with the arrears thereof To gain promising himself as by the future will appear not only protection but preferment not only safety but more plenty by coming hither He had Learning enough to deserve Ambition enough to desire Boldness enough to beg and presumed K. Iames had bounty enough to give him the highest and best prâ—ferment in England and he who publickly did beg York may be presumed privately to have promised the Arch-bishoprick of Canterbury to himself Dr. Heylin All mens mouths saith our Author were now filled with discourse of Prince Charles his Match with Donna Maria the Infanta of Spain The Protestants grieved thereat fearing that his Marriage would be the Funerals of their Religion c. The business of the Match with Spain hath already sufficiently been agitated between the Author of the History of the Reign of King Charles and his Observator And yet I must add something to let our Author and his Reader to understand thus much that the Protestants had no cause to fear such a Funeral Fuller Hâ—d I said that the Protestants justly feared this Marriage then the Animadvertor had justly censured whereas now grant they feared where no fear was he findeth fault where no fault is Historians may and must relate those great and general impressions which are made on the spirits of people and are not bound to justifie the causes thereof to be sound and sufficient Ten thousand Persons of quality are still alive who can â—nd will attest that a pannick fear for that Match invaded the Nation Dr. Heylin They knew they lived under such a King who loved his Sovereignty too well to quit any part thereof to the Pope of Rome especially to part with that Supremacy in Ecclesiastical matters which he esteemed the fairest flower in the Royal Garland They knew they lived under such a King whose interest it was to preserve Religion in the same state in which he found it and could not fear but that he would sufficiently provide for the safety of it Fuller Mr. Camden writing of the Match of Q. Elizabeth with Mounsier younger Brother to the King of France hath this presage that when Mr. Stubs whose hand was cut off said God save the Queen the multitude standing by held their peace rendring this as one reason thereof Ex odio Nuptiarum quas religione exitiosas futuras praesagierunt Out of hatred to that Match which they presag'd would be destructive to Religion Now may not the Animadvertor as well tax Mr. Camden for inserting this needless Note and tell the world that no Princess was more skild in Queen craft than Q Elizabeth and that this presage of her People was falsly foâ—â—deâ— I detract not from the policy or piety head or heart of K.

in the following Parliament we are to follow him to that Parliament for our satisfaction And there we find that Mr. Maynard made a Speech in the Committee of Lords against the Canons made by the Bishops in the last Convocation in which he endeavoured to prove c. Fuller Diogenes being demanded what one should give him to strike on the head as hard as he could Give me sayed he but an Helmet Well fare my Helmet the seasonable interposition of the word ENDEAVOURED which hath secured me from the blowes of the Animadvertor and perchance his hand thereby retunded Besides I have a double Helmet Master now Serjeant Mainard no lesse eminently known for his skill in Law than for his love to the Clergy by pleading so effectually in his success as well as desire for their Tithes Wherefore being weary with this long contest I resolve for a while even to take my naturall rest and will quietly sleep untill Iogged by that which particularly concerneth me Dr. Heylyn Endeavoured to prove that the Clergy had no power to make Canons without common consent in Parliament because in the Saxon's times Lawes and Constitutions Ecclesiasticall had the confirmation of Peers and sometimes of the People to which great Councills our Parliaments do succeed Which Argument if it be of force to prove that the Clergy can make no Canons without consent of the Peers and People in Parliament it must prove also that the Peers and People can make no Statutes without consent of the Clergy in their Convocation My reason is Because such Councels in the times of the Saxons were mixt Assemblies consisting as well of Laicks as of Ecclesiasticks and the matters there concluded on of a mixt nature also Laws being passed as commonly in them in order to the good governance of the Common-wealth as Canons for the regulating such things as concern'd Religion But these great Councels of the Saxons being divided into two parts in the times ensuing the Clergy did their work by themselves without any confirmation from the King or Parliament till the submission of the Clergy to King Henry the Eighth And if the Parliaments did succeed in the place of those great Councells as he saies they did it was because that antiently the Procurators of the Clergy not the Bishops onely had their place in Parliament though neither Peers nor People voted in the Convocations Which being so it is not much to be admired that there was some checking as is said in the second Argument about the disuse of the generall making of such Church-Laws But checking or repining at the proceeding of any Superiour Court makes not the Acts thereof illegall for if it did the Acts of Parliaments themselves would be reputed of no force or illegally made because the Clergy for a long time have checkt and think they have good cause to check for their being excluded Which checking of the Commons appears not onely in those antient Authors which the Gentleman cited but in the Remonstrance tendred by them to King Henry the Eighth exemplified at large in these Animadversions lib. 3. n. 61. But because this being a Record of the Convocation may not come within the walk of a Common Lawyer I shall put him in mind of that memorable passage in the Parliament 51 Edw. 3d. which in brief was this The Commons finding themselves aggrieved as well with certain Constitutions made by the Clergy in their Synods as with some Laws or Ordinances which were lately passed more to the advantage of the Clergy then the Common People put in a Bill to this effect viz. That no Act nor Ordinance should from thenceforth be made or granted on the Petition of the said Clergy without the consent of the Commons and that the said Commons should not be bound in times to come by any Constitutions made by the Clergy of this Realm for their own advantage to which the Commons of this Realm had not given consent The reason of which is this and 't is worth the marking Car eux ne veulent estre obligez a nul de vos Estatuz ne Ordinances faitz sanz leur Assent Because the said Clergy did not think themselves bound as indeed they were not in those times by any Statute Act or Ordinance made without their assent in the Court of Parliament But that which could not be obtain'd by this checking of the Commons in the declining and last times of King Edward 3. was in some part effected by the more vigorous prosecution of King Henry 8. who to satisfie the desires of the Commons in this particular and repress their checkings obtained from the Clergy that they should neither make nor execute any Canons without his consent as before is said so that the Kings power of confirming Canons was grounded on the free and voluntary submission of the Clergy and was not built as the third Argument objecteth on so weak a foundation as the Pope's making Canons by his sole power the Pope not making Canons here nor putting his Prescripts and Letters decretory in the place of Canons but onely as a remedy for some present exigency So that the King's power in this particular not being built upon the Popes as he said it was it may well stand That Kings may make Canons without consent of Parliament though he saith they cannot But whereas it is argued in the fourth place that the clause in the Statute of Submission in which it is said that the Clergy shall not make Canons without the Kings leave doth not imply that by His leave alone they may make them I cannot think that he delivered this for Law and much less for Logick For had this been looked on formerly as a piece of Law the Parliaments would have check'd at it at some time or other and been as sensible of the Kings enchroachments in executing this power without them as antiently some of them had been about the disuse of the like generall consent in the making of them Fuller DORMIT SECURUS Dr. Heylyn Fol. 180. In the next place our Author tells us that Mr. Maynard endeavoured also to prove that these Canons were against the King's Prerogative the Rights Liberties and Properties of the Subject And he saith well that it was endeavoured to be proved and endeavoured onely nothing amounting to a proof being to be found in that which followes It had before been Voted by the House of Commons that the Canons are against fundamentall Laws of this Realm against the Kings Prerogative Property of the Subject the Right of Parliament and do tend to faction and sedition And it was fit that some endeavours should be used to make good the Vote But this being but a generall charge requires a generall answer onely and it shall be this Before the Canons were subscribed they were imparted to the King by the Arch-bishop of Canterbury and by the King communicated to the Lords of the Councill who calling to them the assistance of the Judges and
lawfull and undoubted Soveraign Liege Lady and Queen Add unto these the Testimony of Sir Edward Cook though a private person who in his Book of the Jurisdiction of Courts published by order of the long Parliament chap. 1. doth exprâ—sly say That the Parliament consists of the Head and Body that the Head is the King that the Body are the three Estates viz. the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons In which words we have not onely the opinion and testimony of that learned Lawyer but the Authority of the long Parliament also though against it selfe Those aged Bishops had been but little studied in their owne concernments and betray'd their Rights if any of them did acknowledge any such mistake in challenging to themselves the name and priviledges of the third Estate Fuller In this long discourse the Animadvertor hath given in the severall Particulars whereof I in my Church-History gave the Totall summe when saying that there were passages in the old Statutes which did countenance the Bishops sitting in Parliament in the Capacity of a THIRD ESTATE I have nothing to returne in Opposition and heartily wish that his Arguments to use the Sea-man's phrase may prove stanche and tight to hold water when some Common-Lawyer shall examine them But seeing the Animadvertor hath with his commendable paines goâ— so farre in this point I could wish he had gon a little further even to answer the two Common Objections against the THIRD-ESTATE SHIP of Bishops The First is this The Bishop not to speak of Bishops Suffragan of the Isle of Man is a Bishop for all purposes and intents of Jurisdiction and ordination yet hath he no place in Parliament because not holding per In egram Baroniam by an Intire Barony Now if Bishops sat in Parliament as a THIRD-ESTATE and not as so many Barons why hath not the Bishop of Man being in the Province of York a place in Parliament as well as the rest Secondly If the Bishops sit as a THIRD-ESTATE then Statutes made without them are manâ— and defective which in law will not be allowed seeing there were some Sessions of Parliament wherein Statutes did passe Excluso Clero at least wise Absente Clero which notwithstanding are acknowledged Obligatory to our Nation I also request him when his Hand is in to satisfie the Objection taken from a passage in the Parliament at Northampton under Henry the Second when the Bishops challenged their Peerage viz. Non sedemus hîc Episcopi sed Barones Nos Barones vos Barones Pares hîc sumus We sit not here as Bishops but as Barons We are Barons You are Barons here we are peers which is much inforced by Anti-Episcopists And whereas the Animadvertor translated it not as Bishops onely it is more then questionable that this interpolation ONLY will not be admitted by such who have a mind curiously to examine the matter I protest my integrity herein that I have not started these Objections of my selfe having had them urged against me and though I can give a bungling Answer unto them I desire that the Animadvertor being better skill'd in Law would be pleased if it ever comes again in his way to returne an Answer as short and clear as the Objections are and I and many more will be bound to returne him thanks Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 196. The Conâ—ocation now not sitting and matters of Religion being brought under the cognizance of the Parliament their Wisdoms adjudged it not onely convenient but necessary that some prime Clergy men might be consulted with It seems then that the setting up of the new Assembly consisting of certain Lords and Gentlemen and two or more Divines out of every County must be ascrib'd to the not sitting of the Convocation Whereas if that had been the reason the Convocation should have been first warned to re-assemble with liberty and safe conducts given them c. Fuller The Animadvertor now enters the list with the WISDOMS in Parliament who are most able to justifie their owne Act. Mean time my folly may stand by in silence unconcerned to return any Answer Dr. Heylyn Fol. 198. It savours something oâ— a Prelaticall Spirit to be offended about Precedency I see our Author is no Changeling Primus ad extremum similis sibi the very same at last as he was at the first Certainly if it savour of a Prelaticall Spirit to contend about Precedencies that Spirit by some â—ythagorean Metempsychosis hath passed into the bodies of the Presbyterians whose pride had swell'd them in conceit above Kings and Princes and thus cometh home to our Author c. Fuller If it cometh home unto me I will endeavour God-willing to thrust it far from me by avoiding the odious sin of Pride And I hope the Presbyterians will herein make a reall and practicall refutation of this note in Evidencing more Humility hereafter seasonably remembring they are grafted on the Stock of the Bishops and are concerned not to be high-minded but feare lest if God spared not Episcopacy for what sins I am not to enquire peaceably possessed above a Thousand years of Power in the Church of England take heed that he spare not Presbytery also which is but a Probationer on its good behaviour especially if by their insolence they offend God and disoblige our Nation the generality whereof is not over-fond of their Goâ—ernment Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 203. We listen not to their fancy who have reckoned the words in the Covenant six hundred sixty six c. I must confesse my selfe not to be so much a Pythagorean as to find Divinity in Numbers nor am taken with such Mysteries as some fancy in them And yet I cannot chuse but say that the Number of Six hundred sixty six words neither more nor less which are found in the Covenant though they conclude nothing yet they signifie something Our Author cannot chuse but know what pains were taken even in the times of Irenaeus to find out Antichrist by this number Some thinking then that they had found it in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 with reference to the persecuting Roman Emperours Some Protestants think that they had found it in a Dedication to Pope Paul the fifth which was Paulo V to Vice-Deo the numerall letters whereof that is to say D.C.L.V.V.V.I. amount exactly unto six hundred sixty six which is the Number of the Beast in Revelation The Papists on the other side find it in the name of Luther but in what language or how speld I remember not And therefore whosoever he was which made this Observation upon the Covenant he deserves more to be commended for his wit then condemned for his idlenesse Fuller The Animadvertor might herein have allowed me the Liberty of Preterition a familiar figure in all Authors managed by them with Taceo praetermitto transeo we passe by listen not c. when relating things Either Parva of small moment Nota generally known Ingrata unwelcome to many Readers Under which of
Ibid. Much he expended on the Repair of Westminster Abbey-Church c. The Library at Westminster was the effect of his bounty This though it be true in part yet we cannot say of it that it is either the whole truth or nothing but the truth For the plain truth is that neither the charge of repairing that Church nor furnishing that Library came out of his own private Coffers but the Churches rents For at such time as he was made Lord Keeper of the great Seal he caused it to be signified unto the Prebendaries of that Church how inconvenient it would be both to him and them to keep up the Commons of the Colledge and gaind so farre upon them that they pass'd over to him all the rents of that Church upon condition that he should pay the annual pensions of the Prebendaries School-Masters Quire-men and inferiour Officers and maintain the Commons of the Scholars The rest amounting to a great yearly value was left wholly to him upon his honourable word and promise to expend the â—ame for the good and honour of that Church The surplusage of which expenses receiv'd by him for four years and upwards amounted unto more than had been laid out by him on the Church and Library as was offered to be proved before the Lords Commissioners at the visitation Anno. 1635. And as for the Library at St. Iohns it might possibly cost him more wit than money many books being daily sent in to him upon the intimation of his purpose of founding the two Libraries by such as had either suits in Court or businesse in Chancery or any wayes depended on him or expected any favours from him either as Bishop of Lincoln or Dean of Westminster Fuller As the worme on a sudden smot the gourd of Ionah and it withered so it is possible that the most verdâ—nt and flourishing Charity may be fretted and blasted by ill reports There is a Chapiter-Act subscribed with the hands of the Prebendaries of Westminster the Date whereof I do not at present remember and the Copy of it is in the hands of my Worthy friend wherein they thankfully acknowledge the great bounty of this Bishop in expending so much on the repaire of their Church If the Library of St. Iohns cost him more Wit then Money as the Animadvertor phraseth it sure I am that in the same sense The founding of Fellowships and Scholler-ships in that Colledge cost him more Money then Wit Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 228. He hated Popery with a perfect hatred But Wilson in his History of great Brittain sings another song whether in Tune or out of Tune they can best tell who liv'd most neere those times and had opportunities to observe him Fuller I wonder That the Animadvertor who in the Preface to this his Book had branded Wilsons History with the name of a most Infamous Pasquill maketh mention of any passage therein to a Bishop's disgrace Dr. Heylyn There is a muttering of some strange offer which he made to King Iames at such time as the Prince was in Spain and the Court seemed in common apprehension to warp towards Popery vvhich declared no such perfect hatred as our Author speaks of unto that Religion Fuller The Prophet telleth us of Tongues which have MUTTERED perversnesse and such to me seem they that are Authors of this report Dr. Heylyn Not was he coy of telling such whom he admitted unto privacies vvith him that in the time of his greatnesse at Court he vvas accounted for the Head of the Catholick Party not sparing to declare what free and frequent accesses he gave the principall Sticklers in that cause both Priests and Iesuites and the speciall services vvhich he did them And it must be somewhat more than strange if all this be true that he should hate Popery vvith a perfect hatred yet not more strange then that he should so stickle in the preferment of Dr. Theodore Price to the Arch-Bishoprick of Armagh in Ireland who died a profest Catholick reconciled to the Church of Rome as our Author hath it Fol. 226. But if there be no more truth in the Bishop of Lincolns hating Popery then in Dr. 〈◊〉 dying a professed Papist there is no credit to be given at all to that part of the Character Dr. Price though once a great Favourite of this Bishop and by him continued Sub-Dean of Westminster many years together vvas at the last suppos'd to be better affected to Bishop Laud than to Bishop Williams Bishop Laud having lately appeared a Suiâ—or for him for the Bishoprick of St. Asaph And therefore that two Birds might be kild with the same bolâ— no sooner vvas Dr. Price deceased but the Bishop of Lincoln being then at Westminster calls the Prebends together tells them that he had been with Mr. Sub-Deane before his death that he left him in very doubtfull tearmes about Religion and consequently could not tell in what form to bury him that if the Dr. had died a profest Papist he would have buried him himselfe but being as it was he could not see how any of the Prebendaries could either with safety or with credit performe that office But the Artifice and design being soon discovered took so little effect that Dr. Newel one of the Senior Prebendaries performed the Obsequies the rest of the whole Chapiter attending the body to the grave with all due solemnity Fuller I deny not but as a States-man he might do some civill offices to the Romish party in that Juncture of time in compliance to King Iames his commands But this amounteth not to prove him a Lover of Popery As for Dr. Price I will not rake into his ashes If he dyed a protestant 't was the better for him but the contrary is generally reported printed believed Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 228. He was so great an honourer of the English Liturgy that of his owne cost he caused the same to be translated into Spanish and fairly printed to confute their false conceipt of our Church c. If this be true it makes not onely to his honour but also to the honour of the English Liturgy translated into more Languages then any Liturgy in the world whatsoever it be translated into Latine by Alexander Alesius a learned Scot in King Edwards time as afterward by Dr. Walter Haddon in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and his translation mended by Dr. Mocket in the time of King Iames translated into French by the command of that King for the Isles of Guernsey and Iersey into Spanish at the charge of this Bishop as our Author telleth us and finally into Greek by one Mr. Petly by whom it was dedicated and presented to the late Arch-Bishop of Canterbury the greatest Patron and Advancer of the English Liturgy But secondly I have some reason to doubt that the Liturgy was not translated at the charges of Bishop Williams That it was done by his pocurement I shall easily grant but whosoever made the
