DIVINE
AND
POLITICALL
OBSERVATIONS
Vpon
the
Arch-Bishops
speech
in
the
Starre-Chamber

MY
LORDS
,
I
Shall
not
need
to
speake
of
the
infamous
course
of
Libelling
in
any
kind
:

Nor
of
the
punishment
of
it
,
which
in
some
cases
was
Capitall
by
the
Imperiall
Lawes
.
As
appeares
:
Cod.

T.

Nor
how
patiently
some
great
Men
,
very
great
Men
indeed
,
have
borne

laceratam

.
The
tearing
and
rending
of
their
credit
and
reputation
,
with
a
gentle
,
nay
,
a
generous
minde
.
THough
his
Gr:
Compositio

no●
v●lt
(
aut
non

)
in
publico

,
occulto

,
and
if
withall
it
be
true
that
si
injuria

inc●rtae
illata
fuerit
,
nemo
propterea
potest
se
contumelia
affectum
jure
dicere
;
s●aque
interesse
ut
honor
&
existimatio
,
vindicetur
per

de

,
the
defe●dants
,
could
not
lawfully
have
beene
either
accused
or
condemned
as
Libellers
for
any
thing
contained
in
bookes
,
printed
in
their
names
,
and
without
designing
any
man
in
them
reproachfully
.
But
suppose
Bishops
may
in
England
(
by
some
prerogative
whereof
the
mistery
is
not
to
bee
inquired
into
)
change
the
nature
of
any
thing
they
please
,
and
aswell
make
every
writ
containing
truths
avowed
by
their
Authors
to
become
libels
,
and
untruths
which
no
man
owneth
,
as
the
Roman
Clergy
pretend
their
power
to
transubstantiate
bread
into
the
body
of
our
Saviour
.
Yet
seeing
●ur
Saviour
ordained
his
Disciples
and
Apostles
to
blesse
such
as
should
revile
th●m
,
it
is
no
●ore
incompatible
with
the
duty
of
a
Church-man
,
than
it
is
with
wisdome
in
men
that
have
no
Church
office
to
neglect
,
contemne
(
at
least
not
to
be
moved
with
)
such
libels
,
and
to
consider
that
Convi●ia
si
iras●are
agnita
videntur
,
spreta
vilescunt
.
And
suppose
likewise
that
it
were
heresie
,
libelling
or
some
other
crime
,
either
to
presume
that
Lord
B.
should
take
notice
of
our
Saviours
precept
aforesaid
,
or
not
to
acknowledge
their
exemption
from
such
obligement
of
civill
reason
and
prudence
as
doth
binde
men
of
all
other
condition
,
and
suppose
also
that
the
bookes
published
in
the
defendants
names
and
avowed
by
them
,
were
libels
occulto
nomine
in
publico
loco
affixi
,
yet
by
the
law
which
his

they
could
●ot
have
beene
condemned
for
the
same

in
respect

be●reth
,
that

speaking

And
suppose
also
that
they
who
for
reproaching
the
Prelates
(
for
making
the
innovations
for
which
his
Gr:
in
this
speech
pretendeth
some
reasons
and
warrants
)
an
intention
to
introduce
popery
,
were
to
bee
esteemed
libellers
by
the
foresaid
law
and
ordinance
,
and
that
it
were
inconsistent
with
Episcopall
dignity
to
forbeare
to
take
notice
of
such
libellers
,
and
to
forgive
them
;
yet
all
they
could
in
reason
have
craved
for
punishment
of
them
,
was
,
that
such
punishment
should
be
inflicted
on
them
as
the
law
maketh
Papists
(
and
such
as
usher
in
Popery
)
obnoxious
unto
;
for
si
deprehendetur
Author
famosi

eatantum
poena
plectendus
est
ad
quam
convitium
passus
meritó
damnaretur
si
verum
crimen
e●
libello
imponeretur
;
And
seeing
in
England
there
is
no
law
that
punisheth
Papists
criminally
or
maketh
their
Religion
(
much
lesse
the
ushering
of
it
in
)
a
crime
,
so
as
albeit
it
were
true
,
that
the
Prelates
did
not
only
usher
in
,
but
were
themselves
content
to
professe
Popery
with
as
much
passion
as
they
have
commanded
the
observation
of
Popish
Ceremonies
,
and
manner
of
Church-government
,
they
could
not
for
that
by
any
English
law
be●
punished
with
either
Pillory
or
prison
,
it
followeth
consequently
that
the
defendants
for
charging
the
said
Prelates
with
the
ushering
in
of
Popery
(
though
falsely
)
could
not
(
lawfully
)
for
that
be
punished
either
with
Pillory
or
prison
.
But
suppose
finally
that
there
were
either
reason
,
or
some
law
in
England
,
(
without
making
Popery
a
crime
,
or
the
ushering
in
of
it
any
fault
)
to
make
the
speaking
or
writing
of
Prelates
,
apparent
intention
to
introduce
it
,
to
be
libelling
and
subject
to
such
punishment
as
the
Statutes
ordaine
for
libelling
against
K.
or
Qu.
The
defendants
could
have
onely
beene
punished
with
an
hundred
pound
fine
,
and
a
months
imprisonment
,
by
the
Statute
of
Qu.
Mary
:
or
at
the
most
,
with
200.
pound
fine
,
and
3.
moneths
imprisonment
by
a
Statute
of
Qu.
Eliz.
without
any
corporall
punishment
,
unles●e
they
refused
to
pay
the
fine
.
But
of
all
Libels
,
they
are
most
Odious
which
pretend
Religion
:
Arch.
B●
as
if
that
of
all
things

de●ire
to

defended

as

the
doctrine
of
Christian
patience
founded
upon
our
Saviours
precept
before
mentioned
,
&
other
pas●ages
of
his
Evang●

,
or
for
such
as
wanting
due

of
Christian
humility

fraughted
with
such
proportion
of

vertue
as

't
is

It
is
not
my

to
examine
your

nor
to
contradict
any
of
your

,
but
where
they
are
used
for
wresting
the

what

for
palliating
with
faire

For
my

of
this

the
reducing
it
into

the

of
the
Eternall
worship
of
God
in
it
,
and
the

its

are
the
causes
(
and
the
sole
causes
,
what
ever
are
pretended
)
of
all
this
malicious

which

They

in
the
mean

being
the
greatest
Innovators
that
the
Christian

hath
almost
ever
known
.
J
deny
not
but
others
have
spread
more
dangerous
Errors
●n
the
Church
of

●
but
no
men
in
any
age
of
it
,
have
been
more
guilty
of
Jnnovation
than
they
while
themselves
Cry●out
against
it
:
Quis

What
the
Parliament
hath
either
found
,
Neither
can
you
make
it
appeare
that
they
are
innovaters
.
Your
Gr:
cannot
make
good
your
charge
,
and
the
defendants
are
able
to
make
it
appeare
both
that
there
have
beene
,
and
that
there
are
now
knowne
,
some
greater
innovators
then
they
,
or
any
of
their
abettors
.
The
repetition
of
this
reproach
of
innovation
is
so
farre
from
being
a
good
probation
of
the
truth
of
it
,
as
it
argueth
unability
in
his
Gr:
to
make
it
good
and
an
aparant
presumtion
of
his
Gr:
immoderate
hatred
of
such
as
are
nicknamed
Puritants
,
and
of
his
confidence
that
all
he
speaketh
(
how
false
and
impertinent
soever
)
shall
get
respect
enough
(
by
reason
of
his
eminency
)
from
the
reader

As

study
to
make
them
hatefull

all
sorts
of
calumnies

whereas
the
truth
is
,
that
those
that
disswade
his
Majestie

,
and
those
that

of
his

in

divers
things
that

it

possible
(

that
they
would
forbeare
either
to

the

thereof
thinke
unlawful

seing
it

that
it
was
not

to
doubt

have
ever
governed
the
Church
of
Christ
in
all
places

in
all
ages
,
for

a

in

S.

saith

that
when

●o
prevent

it
was
decreed
through
the
whole

,
that

elected

should
be

,
if

seene
as
much
as
they
that
came

they
would
have
concluded
that

this

Some
difference
was
lately
rising
about
placing
of

The

Therefore
this
is
no
Innovation

there

The

that

〈◊〉
likewise

that

against

in

of
the

of

;
I
dare
likewise
say
,
that
the

in
daring
affirme
th●t
a
Priest
can
transub●●antiate
breade
in

And
where

hee
sayes
that
the
words

in

doe
not

the

of

but
rath●r
the
abused
power
of

prevalent
Se●
i●

,
and
it
not
being
spoken
dogmatically
that
the

the
Babilonicall

,
it
is
not
〈◊〉

of

,
I
wo●●●

know
what
difference
there
is
betweene
the
abused
power

then

or
whether

as
Heylin
acknowledgeth

at

time
began
that

And
where
(
pag.

he
say●●
that
unlesse
it
can
be
proved

made
good
,
that
the
Pope

conf●s●eth
not
that
Iesus

is
come

there
is
●o
re●●
to
conclu●e
that
he
is
Antichrist

and
citeth
St.

for
a

saying
:
Every

confesseth
n●t
that

but
is
that
Spirit
of

,
whereof
〈◊〉
have
hear●
,
I
hope
his
Gr:
will
give
me
leave
to
say

that
St.

sayeth
not

but
he

in

that

teacheth
that

and
that
h●
whom

worship●●●
in
the

manner
,
that
he
,
whom
he
confesseth

is
as

hee
that
in

deny●th
(
〈◊〉

his

out

written
again●●

wrest

could

●●●i●her
Dr.

of
reciting

briefly
all

of

if
what

bee
●●●ee
can
say
,
against

two
,
they
have
suffered
very
unjustly
:
His

Mr.

thrust

,
a●d
that
Bastwick
onely
hath
beene
bold
to
meddle
with
the
〈◊〉
of
the
Church
,
cannot
in
a
way
obvious
to
common
sence
bee
●●●●ne
to
bee
either
a
sufficient
performance
of
his
promise
made
in
the
16.
pag.
foresaid
,
or
a
sufficient
ground
,
whereupon
to
convince
eith●●
the
one
or
the
other
,
of
any
crime
punichable
in
the
way
,
that
his
Gr:
hath
caused
them
suffer
:
especially
since
Dr.
Bastwick
beeing
brought
to
the
place
of
his
suffering
,
did
solemnely
avow
that
he
was
〈◊〉
conscious
to
himselfe
wherein
hee
had
committed
the
least
tres●●●●●
(
to
take
the
outward
shame
he
was
then
putt
unto
)
either
against
God
or
the
King
;
and
that
th'
occasion
of
his
suffering
was
the
writi●●
of
a
booke
against
the
Pope
,
which
if
it

flagellum

whi●●
goeth
in

it
is
a
wonder
where

lyeth

And
M●

said
in

that

having
tendered
to
the
Co●●●
his
answer
to
the
Information
,
which
contained
an
accusation
agai●●●
him
in
the
point

it

and
that
neverthelesse
he
was
condemned
for
not
putt●●●
in

to
the

Information
,
withall
he
offered
to
maintaine
●●gainst
all
the
Prelates
in

,
that
their
calling
was
not
〈◊〉
divino
,
and
against
all
the

that

If

they

one
thing

I

'T
