cure saw men walke like trees Marke 8. For I can never think that eye whose so ever it be quick-sighted nor fit to be oculus Episcopi which cannot discern examination from preaching and Ordination and Institution from Visitation And so my Lord for a farwell to the Principals I leave it to your Lordship and the Court to consider whether the Commissioners were not invited by the presumption of their own strength and of my weaknesse to use the foresaid arguments which upon examination make quite against them Or whether they were not at that time like men in danger of drowning who being taught by nature to do their best to save themselves and yet being deprived of the right use of their sences do divers times seeke helpe and lay hold on things that hurt them and keepe them under water and thereby drown themselves the sooner And thus much concerning the principalls The accessories and the Defendants three Arguments I now proceed to the accessories And here my Lord seeing the Defendants have falsified the Law in the principals your Lordship and the Court are not to give credit unto them concerning the accessories seeing in the principalls they have called my obedienc to the Word of God to the Articles Statutes Canons to his Maiesties Letters Patents royall Prerogative and oath of Supreamacie which are all extant to the view of the world a breach of Canonicall obedience a principall or especiall fault a grievous and enormous crime they are not according to their own Law to be credited concerning any fact they charge me within the accessories for qui semel est malus semper praesumitur malus in eodem genere mali and qui semel veritatis verecundiae limites transilierit cum oportet esse gnaniter impudentem nec ei deinceps nisi paenitenti culpani confitenti veniam expetenti est in aliqua credendum But my Lord though according to these axioms the defendants are not to be credited in any of the accessories because they have falsified the Law in the principalls Yet I labour not to impeach their credit in all but in one only circumstance which runs through the three first accessories which is grosly and palpably false and contrary to the Records of their own Court. For whereas in the first accessorie they charge me that I came unsent for or uncall'd for to Master Arch-deacon aforesaid he being in his Visitation among the Clergie and sitting there to heare Causes and in the second accessorie that I did then and there charge the said Arch-deacon of falshood and i●justice and in the third accessorie that I did at the same time and place lay down an hundred pounds in gold upon the table and offered to lay wagers with him the said Arch-deacon that he had done me wrong or the like in effect I confesse I did these three but not at the same time and place not whil'st Master Arch-deacon sate in his Visitation to heare Causes but afterwards as will appear by these three circumstances The Visitation is alwaies kept in Saint Margarets Church in Canterburie this was in the parlour of the Checker Inne in Cant. The Visitation is alwaies begun continued and ended in the forenoone before dinner this was in the after-nooneafter dinner At the Visitation are present both Clergie and Laity the Ministers and the Churchwardens here were present the Clergie only and the Defendants themselves in their Plea mention only the Clergie the Arch-deacon say they being in his Visitation among the Clergie not amongst the Laity And it is evident by the Records of their own Court and by the testimony of their own witnesses Dr. Say and Henry Ienkins that these things were said and done in the Checker Inne in Canterburie after dinner and not in Saint Margarets Church at the Visitation And it appeares likewise by the submission enjoyned me for by their own Order that submission was to be uttered before the Clergie in the dining roome before dinner and not in Saint Margarets Church at the Visitation And beside I here make oath in truth in justice and in judgement that these three accessories were said and done not in Saint Margarets Church at the Visitation but in the parlour of the Checker Inne in Canterburie where I never yet knew any Visitation kept by Master Arch-deacon acces ∣ sorie The first And now my Lord this one circumstance being confuted what fault was it for me to come to Master Arch-deacon in the Checker Inne uncall'd for or unsent for might not I in the parlour of the Checker Inne after dinner come uncall'd or unsent for to Master Arch-deacon with whom I din'd as well as come to your Lordship and to these my honored Judges at the side-Barre in this Hall nay in this very Court uncall'd or unsent for I am sure your Persons and places are more eminent and your imployments more and weightier and yet I and some others as meane as I have come unto you and gone from you in both these places without offence accessorie The second Or did I offend in charging the said Archdeacon with falshood wrong and injustice nothing at all For I have before shewed how under the name of Canonicall obedience he would have brought in arbitrary and blinde obedience and the worst part or kind therof not that only which is uncanonicall pretercanonicall or ultracanonicall but that also which is anticanonicall or contracanonicall A thing repugnant to the Word of God to the doctrine and discipline of this orthodox Church to the Prerogative royall of the Crown and to the freedome and liberty of every free-born Subject Is not this falshood wrong and injustice I have before shewed how he hath advanced his apocryphall uncanonicall anticanonical antidiplomatical antiprerogative antisuprematicall postscript private letter and message above the Canons of this Church his Majesties Letters Patents and royall Prerogative above a royall Prerogative invested in the Crowne by God himselfe acknowledged by Article by Statute by Canon nay above a royall Prerogative which he and I by the oath of supremacy are both bound to the utmost of our power to defend and maintain and yer he hath violated it and would have made me have violated it as he hath made many others Is not this falshood wrong and injustice Yea but though it be yet peradventure I might not tell him so much Yes my Lord I was bound to tell him of it by the Word of God by the Canon Law by the law of Nature and by the oath of Supremacy The Word of God Levit 19.17 saith Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart but thou shalt plainly reprove him and not suffer sin upon him So did I.
