Fourthly
,
On
Candlemas
day
last
past
:
Mr.
in
renuing
that
Popish
Ceremonie
of
burning
candles
to
the
honour
of
our
Lady
,
busied
himselfe
from
two
of
the
clocke
in
the
afternoone
till
foure
,
in
climbing
long
ladders
to
sticke
vp
wax
candles
in
the
said
Cathedrall
Church
:
The
number
of
all
the
Candles
burnt
that
euening
,
was
220.
besides
16.
Torches
:
60
,
of
those
burning
tapers
and
torches
standing
vpon
,
and
neare
the
high
Altar
(
as
he
calls
it
)
where
no
man
came
nigh
.
Fifthly
,
hee
hath
brought
in
a
new
custome
of
bowing
the
body
downe
to
the
ground
before
the
Altar
,
(
on
which
hee
hath
set
Candlesticks
,
Basons
,
and
Crosses
,
Crucyfixes
,
and
Tapers
,
which
stand
there
for
a
dumbe
shew
:
)
hee
hath
taught
and
enjoyned
all
such
as
come
neere
the
Altar
to
cringe
and
bow
vnto
it
:
he
hath
commanded
the
Choresters
to
make
low
leggs
vnto
it
,
when
they
goe
to
light
the
Tapers
that
are
on
it
in
the
winter
nights
;
and
in
their
returne
from
it
,
hee
hath
enjoyned
them
to
make
low
leggs
vnto
it
againe
,
going
backewards
with
their
faces
towards
the
East
,
till
they
are
out
of
the
inclosure
where
they
stand
.
Sixthly
,
hee
enjoynes
all
them
that
come
to
the
Cathedrall
Church
,
to
pray
with
their
faces
towards
the
East
,
scoulding
and
brawling
with
them
,
euen
in
time
of
Diuine
Seruice
,
which
refuse
to
doe
it
,
and
bidding
them
either
to
pray
towards
the
East
or
to
be
packing
out
of
the
Church
:
himself
hath
praying
and
reading
his
face
alwayes
turned
towards
the
East
:
when
he
ministers
the
Sa●r
:
he
stands
at
the
West
side
of
the
Altar
,
(
as
he
termes
and
makes
it
)
not
at
the
North
,
as
the
Common
prayer
booke
enjoynes
him
:
that
so
his
face
may
bee
East
and
his
backward
parts
to
the
peoples
faces
,
who
can
neither
heare
,
nor
vnderstand
him
:
hee
hath
remoued
the
Readers
ancient
Deske
and
Pue
:
together
with
all
the
seates
,
and
the
Deanes
Pue
which
stood
on
the
East
side
of
the
Church
,
to
the
West
side
,
that
so
their
faces
might
stand
Eastward
:
hee
sends
the
Virgorers
about
the
Church
,
to
remoue
all
those
,
both
strangers
and
others
,
which
sit
downe
with
their
backes
to
the
East
.
So
deuoted
is
hee
to
this
Easterne
Superstition
.
Seuenthly
,
he
hath
diuided
the
Morning
Seruice
into
two
parts
,
the
6.
of
clocke
Seruice
which
was
vsed
to
bee
read
onely
,
and
not
sung
:
hee
chaunts
with
Organs
,
Shackbuts
,
and
Cornets
which
yield
an
hydeous
noyse
,
and
makes
that
Seruice
which
was
scarce
one
quarter
of
an
houre
long
before
,
one
houre
and
an
halfe
at
least
:
and
this
hee
calls
Mattens
.
The
second
Seruice
at
10
of
the
clocke
hee
calls
Masse
,
which
consists
of
Epistles
,
and
Gospels
,
the
10.
Commandements
,
and
the
Nicene
Creed
,
which
are
onely
to
be
read
on
Sondayes
and
Holydayes
,
by
the
order
in
the
Common
Prayer
Booke
.
Eightly
,
hee
enjoynes
all
the
people
to
stand
vp
at
the
Nicene
Creed
,
(
a
Ceremonie
which
your
Church
enjoynes
not
)
which
he
commands
to
bee
sung
with
Organs
,
Shackbuts
,
and
Cornets
,
and
all
other
instruments
of
Musicke
,
which
were
vsed
at
the
Consecration
of
golden
Image
,
(
vnfit
Instruments
for
Christian
Churches
where
men
come
for
to
pray
,
and
not
for
to
chaunt
,
or
heare
a
sound
or
consort
of
they
know
not
what
)
Each
who
refuse
to
stand
during
this
musicall
Cries
(
which
lasts
for
halfe
an
houre
)
himselfe
hath
gone
and
raysed
them
vp
,
during
Diuine
Seruice
,
to
the
great
disturbance
of
all
there
present
,
bidding
them
to
depart
out
of
the
Church
,
and
nayling
vp
their
pue
doores
in
despite
of
the
Deane
and
other
Praebends
,
that
so
they
might
not
come
into
their
seates
.
Ninthly
,
hee
hath
turned
most
of
the
Seruice
into
Piping
,
and
singing
,
so
that
the
people
vnderstand
it
not
no
more
then
they
doe
Greeke
or
Hebrew
:
He
hath
brought
meere
ballads
and
Jigs
into
the
Church
,
and
commanded
them
to
bee
sung
for
Anthems
:
and
among
many
other
,
the
three
Kings
of
Colen
,
Hee
will
not
suffer
so
much
as
the
holy
Communion
to
bee
administred
without
an
hideous
noyse
of
vocall
and
instrumentall
Musicke
,
(
the
tunes
whereof
are
all
taken
out
of
the
Masse-booke
:
)
whereby
the
peoples
mindes
are
wholly
withdrawne
from
the
holy
duty
which
they
are
about
,
and
from
the
meditation
of
Christs
bitter
death
and
passion
.
On
the
fast
day
after
Easter
last
,
he
commanded
the
last
prayer
at
the
end
of
the
Communion
,
to
be
sung
with
the
Organ
as
an
Anthem
,
so
that
no
man
could
vnderstand
one
word
,
in
so
much
that
the
●cople
rising
vp
and
sitting
when
it
began
to
bee
sung
,
call'd
to
them
that
sate
neare
about
them
,
saying
,
you
must
kneele
,
you
must
kneele
,
it
is
a
prayer
:
then
all
the
congregation
kneeled
downe
,
and
prayed
very
deuoutly
they
knew
not
what
.
It
was
tht
fondest
Fast
that
euer
any
man
saw
,
it
being
rather
a
Triumph
,
then
any
Fast
or
Humiliation
.
Tenthly
,
he
hath
brought
diuers
old
Copes
which
haue
beene
vsed
in
May-games
heretofore
,
one
of
them
hauing
the
picture
of
the
Trinitie
embroydered
vpon
it
,
and
these
Copes
hee
would
enjoyne
the
Praebends
constantly
to
weare
.
Eleuenthly
,
hee
hath
imployed
diuers
Recusant
Papists
(
and
such
onely
in
making
of
wax
candles
,
Crucifixes
and
glasse
windowes
;
in
guilding
and
painting
of
Images
and
the
Altar
,
fit
workemen
for
such
Idolatrous
workes
,
and
incite
instruments
to
reuiue
and
set
vp
Poperie
once
againe
.
Twelfely
,
hee
hath
violently
inforced
the
obseruation
of
those
Ceremonies
,
going
about
the
Church
like
a
mad
man
,
thrusting
some
out
by
the
head
and
shoulders
,
calling
them
Pagans
,
when
they
stood
quietly
hearing
Seruice
and
refusing
to
obserue
his
Popish
Ceremonies
.
Hee
hath
likewise
gone
about
the
Altar
(
for
so
hee
calls
it
)
before
the
Communion
,
crossing
the
cushions
,
kissing
the
Altar
clothes
,
and
smacking
them
with
his
lippes
:
in
so
much
,
as
some
seeing
him
so
ridiculously
occupied
,
sayd
one
to
another
,
looke
,
looke
,
is
not
the
man
mad
,
looke
I
pray
is
hee
not
mad
.
These
and
sundry
other
Popish
Innouations
hath
Mr.
brought
into
the
Church
of
Durham
:
and
now
see
their
fruits
.
One
Mr.
Parson
of
Wermoth
,
following
Mr.
his
practises
,
hath
taken
away
the
Communion
table
out
of
his
Parish
Church
,
and
in
stead
thereof
hath
erected
an
Altar
in
the
East
end
of
the
Chancell
,
made
of
a
graue-stone
.
This
stone
he
hath
layd
vpon
a
wall
,
not
on
a
frame
;
he
hath
adorned
it
with
guilded
hangings
round
about
it
,
contrary
to
the
Communion
Booke
:
this
Altar
hee
worshippeth
with
the
bowing
of
his
knee
vnto
it
,
and
there
both
hee
and
his
Curate
read
part
of
the
Seruice
,
so
that
most
of
the
people
on
both
sides
,
can
neyther
heare
,
nor
see
them
.
This
example
of
Mr.
many
parish
Churches
else
are
reported
to
follow
,
to
the
great
offence
of
Religious
people
,
the
great
advancement
of
Popery
and
Superstition
,
which
are
like
to
overflow
the
whole
Byshoppricke
of
Durham
if
they
are
not
in
time
suppressed
:
In
so
much
that
the
Papists
of
Durham
say
openly
:
Thus
,
thus
alas
Our
prayer
,
our
desire
therefore
to
this
present
assembly
of
Parliament
,
is
but
this
:
Let
Mr.
with
all
his
great
Abbetters
and
Disciples
,
rather
perish
with
theyr
pardons
,
(
which
wee
heare
his
potent
Byshop
patron
,
who
should
haue
rather
procured
them
an
helter
then
a
pardon
,
had
hee
any
sparke
of
loue
to
your
Religion
in
him
,
hath
of
late
procured
,
)
then
that
both
you
and
wee
,
with
both
our
States
and
Churches
should
perish
by
their
Pardons
,
which
can
neuer
expiate
nor
disanull
these
great
offences
.

I
saw
vnder

the
soules
of
them
that
were
slaine
for
the
word
of
God
.
Loe
here
Altars
are
plainly
named
.
Is
not
this
a
substantiall
proofe
,
that
our

now
hath
Altars

How

how

wilt

I
saw
vnder

Altar
the
Altar

the
faithfull
I
saw
vnder
the
Altar
the
soules
of
the
Martyrs
,
which
cryed
with
a
loud
voice
,
How
long
wilt
thou
delay
ô
Lord
,
since
thou
art
holy
and
true
,
to
revenge
our
blood
.
For
persecution
it
makes
so
great
a
number
of
Martyrs
,
that
the
soules
lying
vnder
the

,
to

in
the
safegard
of
Iesus
Christ
,
(
who
is
the
onely
Altar
,
whereupon
,
and
by
whom
it
is
onely
lawfull
for
vs
to
offer
the
sacrifice
of
hearts
and
lipps
,
to
wit
,
our
humble
prayers
to
God
the
Father
.
)
They
did
pray
,
and
their
blood
did
cry
to
heaven
,
and
craue
at
the
hands
of
their
Father
a
iust
revenge
of
their
torments
vpon
the
wicked
.
Then
white
robes
were
given
to
every
one
of

Which
,
ought
to
be
a
wonderfull
comfort
to
all

Since
by
this
they
be
assured
,
that
the
soules
of
the
Martyrs
,
so
soone
as
their
bodies
are
killed
shall
immediately
be
rewarded
,
with
bright
glory
in

,
not
going
into
any
other
place
by
the
way
,
which
is
signified
