A
SVPPLICATION
MADE
TO
THE
COVNSELL
BY
Mr
WALTER
TRAVERS
.
RIGHT
Honourable
,
the
manifold
benefits
which
al
the
subiects
within
this
dominion
doe
at
this
present
,
and
haue
many
yeares
enioyed
,
vnder
her
Maiesties
most
happy
and
prosperous
raigne
,
by
your
godly
wisdome
,
and
carefull
watching
over
this
estate
night
&
day
:
I
truely
and
vnfainedly
acknowledge
from
the
bottome
of
my
heart
,
ought
worthily
to
binde
vs
al
,
to
pray
continually
to
almighty
God
for
the
continuance
&
encrease
of
the
life
and
good
estate
of
your
honours
,
and
to
be
readie
with
al
good
duties
to
satisfie
&
serue
the
same
to
our
power
.
Besides
publique
benefites
common
vnto
all
,
I
must
needes
,
and
do
willingly
confesse
my selfe
to
stand
bound
by
most
speciall
obligation
to
serue
and
honour
you
more
then
any
other
,
for
the
honourable
favour
it
hath
pleased
you
to
vouchsafe
both
oftentimes
heretofore
,
and
also
now
of
late
,
in
a
matter
more
deare
vnto
me
then
anie
earthly
commoditie
,
that
is
the
vpholding
and
furthering
of
my
service
in
the
ministring
of
the
gospell
of
Jesus
Christ
.
For
which
cause
,
as
I
haue
beene
alwaies
careful
so
to
carry
my selfe
as
I
might
by
no
meanes
giue
occasion
to
bee
thought
vnworthy
of
so
great
a
benefit
,
so
do
I
stil
,
next
vnto
her
Maiesties
gracious
countenance
,
hold
nothing
more
deare
and
pretious
vnto
me
,
then
that
I
may
alwaies
remaine
in
your
Honours
favour
;
which
hath
oftentimes
bin
helpefull
and
comfortable
vnto
me
in
my
ministerie
,
and
to
all
such
as
reaped
any
fruit
of
my
simple
and
faithfull
labour
.
In
which
dutiful
regard
,
I
humblie
beseech
your
Honours
to
vouchsafe
to
do
me
this
grace
,
to
conceiue
nothing
of
me
otherwise
than
according
to
the
dutie
wherein
I
ought
to
liue
,
by
anie
information
against
me
,
before
your
Honours
haue
heard
my
answere
,
and
been
throughly
informed
of
the
matter
.
Which
although
it
be
a
thing
,
that
your
wisdomes
,
not
in
favor
,
but
in
iustice
yeeld
to
all
men
:
yet
the
state
of
the
calling
vnto
the
Ministrie
,
whervnto
it
hath
pleased
God
of
his
goodnesse
to
call
me
,
though
vnworthiest
of
all
,
is
so
subiect
to
misinformation
,
as
except
wee
may
finde
this
favour
with
your
Honours
,
we
cannot
looke
for
anie
other
,
but
that
our
vnindifferent
parties
may
easilie
procure
vs
to
be
hardlie
esteemed
of
;
and
that
we
shal
be
made
like
the
poore
fisherboates
in
the
sea
which
everie
swelling
waue
and
billow
raketh
and
runneth
over
.
Wherin
my
estate
is
yet
harder
then
anie
others
of
my
rancke
&
calling
,
who
are
indeed
to
fight
against
flesh
&
blood
in
what
part
soever
of
the
Lords
host
and
field
they
shall
stand
marshalled
to
serue
,
yet
manie
of
them
deale
with
it
naked
and
vnfurnished
of
weapons
:
but
my
service
was
in
a
place
where
I
was
to
encounter
with
it
well
appointed
and
armed
with
skill
and
with
authoritie
;
whereof
as
I
haue
alwaies
thus
deserved
,
&
therfore
haue
bin
carefull
by
all
good
meanes
to
entertain
still
your
Honors
favorable
respect
of
me
,
so
haue
I
speciall
cause
at
this
present
,
wherein
misinformation
to
the
Lord
Archbishop
of
Canterburie
,
&
other
of
the
high
commission
hath
bin
able
so
farre
to
prevaile
against
me
,
that
by
their
letter
they
haue
inhibited
me
to
preach
,
or
execute
anie
act
of
Ministrie
in
the
Temple
or
elsewhere
,
having
never
once
called
me
before
them
to
vnderstand
by
mine
answere
the
trueth
of
such
things
as
had
bin
enformed
against
me
.
We
haue
a
storie
in
our
bookes
,
wherein
the
Pharises
proceeding
against
our
Saviour
Christ
without
having
heard
him
,
is
reproved
by
an
honorable
Counseller
(
as
the
Evangelist
doth
tearme
him
)
saying
,
doth
our
lawe
iudge
a
man
before
it
heare
him
,
&
know
what
he
hath
done
?
Which
I
do
not
mention
to
the
ende
that
by
an
indirect
and
covert
speech
,
I
might
so
compare
those
,
who
haue
without
ever
hearing
me
pronounced
a
heavie
sentence
against
me
,
for
,
notwithstanding
such
proceedings
,
I
purpose
by
Gods
grace
to
carrie
my selfe
towards
them
in
all
seeming
duetie
agreeable
to
their
places
:
much
lesse
do
I
presume
to
liken
my
cause
to
our
Saviour
Christs
,
who
hold
it
my
chiefest
honor
&
happines
to
serue
him
,
though
it
be
but
among
the
hindes
and
hired
servants
,
that
serue
him
in
the
basest
corners
of
his
house
.
But
my
purpose
in
mentioning
it
,
is
to
shew
by
the
iudgement
of
a
Prince
and
great
man
in
Israell
that
such
proceeding
standeth
not
with
the
lawe
of
God
,
and
in
a
princely
patterne
to
shew
it
to
be
a
noble
part
of
an
honorable
Counseller
,
not
to
allow
of
indirect
dealings
,
but
to
allow
and
affect
such
a
course
in
iustice
,
as
is
agreeable
to
the
law
of
God
.
Wee
haue
also
a
plaine
rule
in
the
word
of
God
not
to
proceed
any
otherwise
against
any
elder
of
the
Church
;
much
lesse
against
one
that
laboureth
in
the
word
and
in
teaching
:
which
rule
is
delivered
with
this
most
earnest
charge
and
obtestation
,
I
beseech
and
charge
thee
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
the
elect
Angels
,
The
first
is
,
that
as
they
say
I
am
not
lawfully
called
to
the
function
of
the
ministery
,
nor
allowed
to
preach
according
to
the
lawes
of
this
Church
of
England
.
For
answer
to
this
,
I
had
need
to
divide
the
points
,
&
first
to
make
answer
to
the
former
,
wherein
leauing
to
shew
what
by
the
holy
Scriptures
is
required
in
a
lawfull
calling
and
that
all
that
is
to
be
found
in
mine
,
that
I
bee
not
too
long
for
your
other
waightie
affaires
,
I
rest
.
I
this
answer
,
my
calling
to
the
ministery
was
such
as
in
the
calling
of
any
therevnto
is
appointed
to
bee
vsed
by
the
orders
agreed
vpon
in
the
Nationall
Synods
of
the
lowe
Countries
,
for
the
direction
and
guidance
of
their
Churches
,
which
orders
are
the
same
with
those
whereby
the
French
&
Scottish
Churches
are
governed
,
whereof
I
haue
shewed
such
sufficient
testimoniall
to
my
L.
the
Archbishop
of
Canterburie
,
as
is
requisite
in
such
a
matter
:
whereby
it
must
needs
fall
out
if
any
man
be
lawfully
called
to
the
ministery
in
those
Churches
then
is
my
calling
,
being
the
same
with
theirs
,
also
lawfull
.
But
I
suppose
notwithstanding
they
vse
this
generall
speech
,
they
meane
only
my
calling
is
not
sufficient
to
deale
in
the
ministery
within
this
land
,
because
I
was
not
made
minister
according
to
that
order
which
in
this
cause
is
ordained
by
our
laws
.
Whervnto
I
beseech
your
Honours
to
consider
throughly
of
mine
answer
,
because
exception
now
againe
is
taken
to
my
ministery
whereas
hauing
beene
heretofore
called
in
question
for
it
,
I
so
answered
the
matter
,
as
I
continued
my
ministery
,
and
for
any
thing
I
discerned
,
looked
to
heare
that
no
more
obiected
vnto
me
.
The
communion
of
Saints
(
which
every
Christian
man
professeth
to
beleeue
)
is
such
,
as
that
the
acts
which
are
done
in
any
true
Church
of
Christs
according
to
his
word
,
are
held
as
lawfull
being
done
in
one
Church
,
as
in
another
.
Which
as
it
holdeth
in
other
acts
of
ministery
,
as
baptisme
,
marriage
,
and
such
like
,
so
doth
it
in
the
calling
to
the
ministery
;
by
reason
whereof
all
Churches
doe
acknowledge
and
receaue
him
for
a
minister
of
the
word
,
who
hath
beene
lawfully
called
therevnto
in
any
Church
of
the
same
profession
.
A
Doctor
created
in
any
Vniversitie
of
Christendome
,
is
acknowledged
sufficiently
qualified
to
teach
in
any
country
.
The
Church
of
Rome
it selfe
,
and
the
Canon
law
holdeth
it
that
being
ordered
in
Spaine
,
they
may
execute
that
belongeth
to
their
order
in
Italie
,
or
in
any
other
place
.
And
the
Churches
of
the
gospell
never
made
any
question
of
it
.
Which
if
they
shall
now
begin
to
make
doubt
of
,
and
denie
such
to
be
lawfully
called
to
the
ministery
,
as
are
called
by
another
order
then
our
owne
,
then
may
it
wel
be
looked
for
that
other
Churches
will
doe
the
like
:
&
if
a
minister
called
in
the
low
Countries
be
not
lawfully
called
in
England
,
them
may
they
say
to
our
preachers
which
are
there
,
that
being
made
by
another
order
than
theirs
,
they
cannot
suffer
them
to
execute
any
act
of
ministerie
amongst
them
,
which
in
the
ende
must
needes
breed
a
schisme
&
dangerous
division
in
the
Churches
.
Further
I
haue
heard
of
those
that
are
learned
in
the
lawes
of
this
land
,
that
by
expresse
Statute
to
that
purpose
Anno
13.
vpon
subscription
of
the
Articles
agreed
vpon
Anno
62.
that
they
who
pretend
to
haue
beene
ordered
by
another
order
then
that
which
is
now
established
,
are
of
like
capacitie
to
enioy
any
place
of
ministery
within
the
land
,
as
they
that
haue
bin
ordered
according
to
that
is
now
by
law
in
this
case
established
.
Which
comprehending
manifestly
all
even
such
as
were
made
Priests
according
to
the
order
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
it
must
needs
be
that
the
law
of
a
Christian
land
professing
the
Gospell
should
be
as
favorable
for
a
mimister
of
the
worde
as
for
a
Popish
Priest
,
which
also
was
so
found
in
Mr
Whittingames
case
,
who
notwithstanding
such
replies
against
him
,
enioyed
still
the
benefit
he
had
by
his
ministerie
,
and
might
haue
done
vntill
this
day
if
God
had
spared
him
life
so
long
,
which
if
it
be
vnderstood
so
and
practised
in
others
,
why
should
the
change
of
the
person
alter
the
right
,
which
the
law
giveth
to
all
other
.
The
place
of
ministery
,
wherevnto
I
was
called
,
was
not
presentatiue
,
and
if
it
had
beene
so
surely
they
would
never
haue
presented
anie
man
whom
they
never
knew
;
and
the
order
of
this
Church
is
agree
able
herein
to
the
word
of
God
,
and
the
ancient
&
best
Canons
,
that
no
man
should
be
made
minister
sine
titulo
.
therefore
having
none
I
could
not
by
the
orders
of
this
Church
haue
entred
into
the
ministery
,
before
I
had
charge
to
tend
vpon
.
When
I
was
at
Anwerp
,
and
to
take
a
place
of
ministerie
among
the
people
of
that
nation
,
I
see
no
cause
whie
I
should
haue
returned
againe
over
the
seas
for
orders
here
,
nor
how
I
could
haue
done
it
,
without
disallowing
the
orders
of
the
Churches
provided
in
the
country
where
I
was
to
liue
.
Whereby
J
hope
it
appeareth
,
that
my
calling
to
the
ministery
is
lawfull
,
and
maketh
me
by
our
law
of
capacitie
to
enioy
any
benefit
or
commoditie
,
that
any
other
by
reason
of
his
ministery
may
enioie
.
But
my
cause
is
yet
more
easie
,
who
reaped
no
benefit
of
my
ministery
by
law
,
receaving
only
a
benevolence
and
voluntary
contribution
,
and
the
ministery
I
dealt
with
being
preaching
only
,
which
everie
Deacon
here
may
doe
being
licensed
,
and
certaine
that
are
neither
Ministers
nor
Deacons
:
thus
J
answer
the
former
of
these
two
points
whereof
if
there
be
yet
any
doubt
,
J
humbly
desire
for
a
finall
ende
thereof
,
that
some
competent
iudges
in
law
may
determine
of
it
;
wherevnto
J
referre
&
submit
my selfe
with
all
reverence
and
dutie
.
The
second
is
,
that
I
preached
without
license
,
where
vnto
this
is
my
answere
.
I
haue
not
presumed
vpon
the
calling
I
had
to
the
ministery
abroad
,
to
preach
,
or
deal
with
any
part
of
the
ministry
within
this
Church
with
out
the
consent
and
allowance
of
such
as
were
to
allow
me
vnto
it
:
my
allowance
was
from
the
Bishop
of
London
,
testified
by
his
two
severall
letters
to
the
inner
Temple
,
who
without
such
testimony
would
by
no
meanes
rest
satisfied
in
it
;
which
letters
being
by
mee
produced
,
J
referre
it
to
your
Honours
wisdome
,
whether
I
haue
taken
vpon
me
to
preach
without
being
allowed
(
as
they
charge
)
according
to
the
orders
of
the
Realme
.
Thus
having
answered
the
second
point
also
,
J
haue
done
with
the
obiection
of
dealing
without
calling
or
license
.
The
other
reason
they
alleage
is
concerning
a
late
action
wherein
J
had
to
deale
with
Mr
Hooker
,
Master
of
the
Temple
:
in
the
handling
of
which
cause
they
charge
me
with
an
indiscretion
and
want
of
dutie
,
in
that
I
inveighed
(
as
they
say
)
against
certaine
points
of
doctrine
taught
by
him
as
erroneous
,
not
conferring
with
him
,
nor
complaining
of
it
to
them
.
My
answere
herevnto
standeth
in
declaring
to
your
Honours
the
whole
course
and
carriage
of
that
cause
,
&
the
degrees
of
proceeding
in
it
,
which
J
will
doe
as
briefly
as
I
can
,
and
according
to
the
truth
,
God
be
my
witnes
,
as
neere
as
my
best
memorie
,
and
notes
of
remembrance
may
serue
me
therevnto
.
After
that
I
haue
taken
away
that
which
seemeth
to
haue
moved
them
to
thinke
me
not
charitably
minded
to
Mr
Hooker
,
which
is
because
hee
was
brought
into
M.
Alveyes
place
,
wherin
this
Church
desired
that
J
might
haue
succeeded
;
which
place
,
if
J
would
haue
made
sute
to
haue
obtained
,
or
if
J
had
ambitiously
affected
and
sought
,
J
would
not
haue
refused
to
haue
satisfied
by
subscription
such
as
the
matter
then
seemed
to
depend
vpon
:
whereas
contrariewise
,
notwithstanding
J
would
not
hinder
the
Church
to
doe
that
they
thought
to
be
most
for
their
edification
and
comfort
,
yet
did
J
neither
by
speech
,
nor
letter
,
make
sute
to
any
for
the
obtaining
of
it
,
following
herein
that
resolution
which
J
iudge
to
bee
most
agreeable
to
the
word
and
will
of
God
,
that
is
,
that
labouring
and
suing
for
places
and
charges
in
the
Church
is
not
lawfull
.
Further
whereas
at
the
sute
of
the
Church
some
of
your
Honours
entertained
the
cause
,
and
brought
it
to
a
neare
issue
,
that
there
seemed
nothing
to
remaine
,
but
the
commendation
of
my
Lord
the
Archbishop
of
Canterburie
,
when
as
he
could
not
bee
satisfied
but
by
my
subscribing
to
his
late
articles
,
and
that
my
answere
agreeing
to
subscribe
according
to
any
law
,
and
to
the
statute
provided
in
that
case
,
but
praying
to
be
respited
for
subscribing
to
any
other
,
which
J
could
not
in
conscience
doe
,
either
for
the
Temple
(
which
otherwise
he
said
he
would
not
commend
mee
to
)
nor
for
any
other
place
in
the
Church
,
did
so
little
please
my
Lord
Archbishop
,
as
he
resolued
that
otherwise
J
should
not
bee
commended
to
it
.
J
had
vtterly
here
no
cause
of
offence
against
Mr
Hooker
,
whom
J
did
in
no
sort
esteeme
to
haue
prevented
or
vnderminded
mee
,
but
that
God
disposed
of
me
as
it
pleased
him
,
by
such
meanes
and
occasions
as
I
haue
declared
.
Moreover
as
J
had
taken
no
cause
of
offence
at
Mr
Hooker
for
being
preferred
so
there
were
many
witnesses
that
J
was
glad
that
the
place
was
given
him
,
hoping
to
liue
in
all
godly
peace
and
comfort
with
him
,
both
for
acquaintance
&
good
will
which
hath
beene
betweene
vs
,
and
for
some
kinde
of
affinitie
in
the
marriage
of
his
neerest
kinred
&
mine
:
since
his
comming
J
haue
so
carefully
endevoured
to
entertaine
all
good
correspondence
&
agreement
with
him
,
as
I
thinke
he
himselfe
will
beare
mee
witnesse
of
many
earnest
disputations
and
conferences
with
him
about
the
matter
;
the
rather
because
that
contrary
to
my
expectation
,
hee
enclined
from
the
beginning
but
smally
therevnto
,
but
ioined
rather
with
such
as
had
alwaies
opposed
themselues
to
any
good
order
in
this
charge
,
and
made
themselues
to
be
brought
indisposed
to
his
present
state
and
proceedings
.
For
both
knowing
that
Gods
commandement
charged
me
with
such
dutie
,
and
discerning
how
much
our
peace
might
further
the
good
service
of
God
and
his
Church
,
and
the
mutuall
comfort
of
vs
both
,
J
had
resolued
constantly
to
seeke
for
peace
,
and
though
it
should
fly
from
me
(
as
J
saw
it
did
by
meanes
of
some
,
who
little
desired
to
see
the
good
of
our
Church
)
yet
according
to
the
rule
of
Gods
word
to
follow
after
it
.
Which
being
so
(
as
hereof
J
take
God
to
witnesse
,
who
searcheth
the
heart
,
and
reines
,
and
by
his
sonne
will
iudge
the
world
,
both
the
quicke
and
dead
)
I
hope
no
charitable
iudgement
can
suppose
mee
to
haue
stood
evill
affected
towardes
him
for
his
place
,
or
desirous
to
fall
into
anie
controversie
with
him
.
Which
my
resolution
I
pursued
,
that
whereas
I
discovered
sundry
vnfound
matters
in
his
doctrine
(
as
manie
of
his
sermons
tasted
of
some
sower
leaven
,
or
other
)
yet
thus
I
carried
my selfe
towards
him
.
Matters
of
smaller
weight
,
and
so
covertlie
discovered
that
no
great
offence
to
the
Church
was
to
be
feared
in
them
,
I
wholly
passed
by
,
as
one
that
discerned
nothing
of
them
,
or
had
been
vnfurnished
of
replies
.
For
other
of
greater
moment
,
and
so
openlie
delivered
,
as
there
was
iust
cause
of
feare
,
least
the
truth
and
church
of
God
should
be
preiudiced
and
perilled
by
it
,
and
such
as
the
conscience
of
my
dutie
&
calling
would
not
suffer
mee
altogither
to
passe
over
,
this
was
my
course
,
to
deliver
,
when
I
should
haue
iust
cause
by
my
texte
,
the
truth
of
such
doctrine
as
hee
had
otherwise
taught
in
generall
speeches
,
without
touch
of
his
person
in
anie
sort
,
and
further
at
convenient
oportunity
to
confer
with
him
in
such
points
.
According
to
which
determination
,
whereas
he
had
taught
certaine
things
concerning
predestination
otherwise
then
the
word
of
God
doth
,
as
it
is
vnderstood
by
all
churches
professing
the
gospell
,
and
not
vnlike
that
wherwith
Coranus
some
times
troubled
his
church
;
I
both
delivered
the
truth
of
such
points
in
a
generall
doctrine
,
without
anie
touch
of
him
in
particular
,
and
conferred
with
him
also
privatlie
vpon
such
articles
.
In
which
conference
,
I
remember
,
when
I
vrged
the
consent
of
all
churches
,
and
good
writers
against
him
that
I
knew
,
and
desired
if
it
were
otherwise
,
what
authors
hee
had
seene
of
such
doctrine
,
he
answered
me
that
his
best
author
was
his
owne
reason
:
which
I
wished
him
to
take
heed
of
,
as
a
matter
standing
with
christian
modestie
&
wisedome
in
a
doctrine
not
received
by
the
church
,
not
to
trust
to
his
own
iudgment
so
far
,
as
to
publish
it
before
he
had
conferred
with
others
of
his
profession
,
labouring
by
dailie
praier
,
and
studie
to
know
the
will
of
God
,
as
he
did
,
to
see
how
they
vnderstood
such
doctrine
:
notwithstanding
hee
with
wavering
replying
that
hee
woulde
some
other
time
deale
more
largelie
in
the
matter
,
I
wished
him
,
&
praied
him
not
so
to
doe
,
for
the
peace
of
the
church
,
which
by
such
meanes
might
be
hazarded
;
seeing
he
could
not
but
thinke
,
that
men
,
who
make
anie
conscience
of
their
ministrie
,
will
iudge
it
a
necessarie
duty
in
them
,
to
teach
the
truth
,
and
to
convince
the
contrarie
.
Another
time
vpon
like
occasion
of
this
doctrine
of
his
that
the
assurance
of
that
we
beleeue
by
the
word
,
is
not
so
certaine
,
as
of
that
wee
perceiue
by
sense
;
I
both
taught
the
doctrine
otherwise
,
namely
the
assurance
of
faith
to
be
greater
,
which
assureth
both
of
things
aboue
,
and
contrarie
to
all
sense
and
humane
vnderstanding
,
and
dealt
with
him
also
privatlie
vpon
that
point
.
According
to
which
course
,
of
late
,
when
as
hee
had
taught
that
the
Church
of
Rome
is
a
true
Church
of
Christ
,
and
a
sanctified
Church
by
profession
of
that
truth
,
which
God
hath
revealed
vnto
vs
by
his
sonne
,
though
not
a
pure
,
and
perfect
Church
:
&
further
that
he
doubted
not
,
but
that
thousands
of
the
fathers
,
which
lived
and
died
in
the
superstitions
of
that
church
,
were
saved
because
of
their
ignorance
,
which
excuseth
them
,
misalleaging
to
that
end
a

text
of
scripture
to
proue
it
:
the
matter
being
of
set
purpose
openly
and
at
large
handled
by
him
,
and
of
that
moment
that
might
preiudice
the
faith
of
Christ
,
encourage
the
ill
affected
to
continue
still
in
their
damnable
waies
,
and
other
weake
in
faith
to
suffer
themselues
easilie
to
bee
seduced
to
the
destruction
of
their
soules
;
I
thought
it
my
most
bounden
duetie
to
God
,
and
to
his
church
,
whilest
I
might
haue
oportunitie
to
speak
with
him
,
to
teach
the
truth
in
a
generall
speech
in
such
points
of
doctrine
.
At
which
time
I
taught
that
such
as
die
,
or
haue
died
at
anie
time
in
the
Church
of
Rome
holding
in
their
ignorance
that
faith
,
which
is
taught
in
it
,
and
namelie
iustification
in
part
by
workes
,
could
not
be
said
by
the
scriptures
to
be
saued
.
In
which
matter
foreseeing
that
,
if
swaded
not
warilie
in
it
,
I
should
be
in
danger
to
bee
reported
(
as
hath
fallen
out
since
notwithstanding
)
to
condemne
all
the
fathers
:
I
said
directlie
and
plainly
to
all
mens
vnderstanding
,
that
it
was
not
indeede
to
bee
doubted
,
but
manie
of
the
fathers
were
saued
,
but
the
meanes
(
I
said
)
was
not
their
ignorance
,
which
excuseth
no
man
with
God
,
but
their
knowledge
and
faith
of
the
truth
,
which
it
appeareth
God
vouchsafed
them
by
manie
notable
monuments
and
recordes
extant
of
it
in
all
ages
.
Which
being
the
last
point
in
all
my
sermon
rising
so
naturally
from
the
text
I
then
expounded
,
as
would
haue
occasioned
me
to
haue
delivered
such
matter
,
notwithstanding
the
former
doctrine
had
bin
sound
,
and
being
dealt
in
by
a
generall
speech
without
touch
of
his
particular
:
I
looked
not
that
a
matter
of
controversie
would
haue
beene
made
of
it
,
no
more
then
had
beene
of
my
like
dealing
in
former
time
.
But
far
otherwise
,
then
I
looked
for
Mr
Hooker
shewing
no
griefe
of
offence
taken
at
my
speech
all
the
weeke
long
,
the
next
Saboth
,
leaving
to
proceed
vpon
his
ordinarie
text
,
professed
to
preach
againe
that
he
had
done
the
day
before
for
some
question
that
his
doctrine
was
drawne
into
,
which
he
desired
might
be
examined
with
all
severity
.
So
proceeding
,
he
bestowed
his
whole
time
in
that
discourse
,
concerning
his
former
doctrine
,
and
answering
the
places
of
Scripture
,
which
I
had
[

alleaged
,
to
proue
that
a
man
dying
in
the
Church
of
Rome
is
not
to
be
iudged
by
the
Scriptures
to
be
saved
.
In
which
long
speech
,
and
vtterly
impertinent
to
his
text
,
vnder
colour
of
answering
for
himselfe
,
he
impugned
directly
and
openly
to
all
mens
vnderstanding
the
true
doctrine
which
I
had
delivered
,
and
added
to
his
former
points
some
other
like
(
as
willingly
one
errour
followeth
another
)
that
is
,
that
the
Galathians
ioining
with
faith
in
Christ
circumcision
,
as
necessarie
to
salvation
,
might
not
be
saved
.
And
that
they
of
the
Church
of
Rome
may
be
saved
by
such
a
faith
of
Christ
,
as
they
had
,
with
a
generall
repentance
of
all
their
errours
,
notwithstanding
their
opinion
of
iustification
in
part
by
their
works
&
merits
.
I
was
necessarily
,
though
not
willingly
drawn
to
say
something
to
the
points
he
obiected
against
sound
doctrine
,
which
J
did
in
a
short
speech
in
the
end
of
my
sermon
,
with
protestation
of
so
doing
,
not
of
any
finister
affection
to
any
man
,
but
to
beare
witnesse
to
the
truth
according
to
my
calling
.
And
wished
,
if
the
matter
should
needs
further
be
dealt
in
,
some
other
more
convenient
way
might
bee
taken
for
it
;
wherein
,
I
hope
,
my
dealing
was
manifest
to
the
consciences
of
all
indifferent
hearers
of
me
that
daie
,
to
haue
beene
according
to
peace
,
and
without
any
vncharitablenesse
being
duly
considered
.
For
that
I
conferred
with
him
the
first
day
,
I
haue
shewed
that
the
cause
requiring
of
me
in
duety
at
the
least
not
to
be
altogither
silent
in
it
,
beeing
a
matter
of
such
consequence
,
that
the
time
also
being
short
,
wherin
I
was
to
preach
after
him
,
the
hope
of
the
fruit
of
our
communication
being
small
,
vpon
experience
of
former
conferences
,
my
expectation
beeing
that
the
church
should
be
no
further
troubled
with
it
,
vpon
the
motion
I
made
of
raking
some
other
course
of
dealing
.
I
suppose
my
differring
to
speake
with
him
till
some
fit
opportunitie
,
cannot
in
charitie
be
iudged
vncharitable
.
The
second
day
his
vnlooked
for
opposition
with
the
former
reasons
made
it
to
be
a
matter
that
required
of
necessitie
some
publique
answere
;
which
beeing
so
temperate
as
I
haue
shewed
,
if
notwithstanding
it
be
censured
as
vncharitable
,
and
punished
so
grievously
as
it
is
,
what
should
haue
beene
my
punishment
if
(
with
out
all
such
cautions
&
respects
as
qualified
my
speech
)
I
had
before
all
,
and
in
the
vnderstanding
of
all
so
reproved
him
offending
openly
,
that
other
might
haue
feared
to
do
the
like
?
Which
yet
if
I
had
done
,
might
haue
beene
warranted
by
the
rule
&
charge
of
the
Apostles
,
them
that
offend
openly
rebuke
openlie
,
that
the
rest
may
also
feare
,
and
by
his
example
,
who
when
Peter
in
this
verie
case
which
is
now
betweene
vs
,
had
(
not
in
preaching
)
but
in
a
matter
of
conversation
not
gone
with
a
right
foot
,
as
was
fit
,
for
the
truth
of
the
gospell
,
conferred
not
privately
with
him
,
but
,
as
his
owne
rule
required
,
reproved
him
openlie
before
all
,
that
other
might
hear
,
and
feare
,
and
not
dare
to
doe
the
like
:
all
which
reasons
togither
weighed
I
hope
will
shew
the
manner
of
my
dealing
to
haue
beene
charitable
,
and
warrantable
in
everie
sort
.
The
next
saboth
day
after
this
Mr
Hooker
kept
the
way
he
had
entred
into
before
,
and
bestowed
his
whole
houre
and
more
only
vpon
the
questions
hee
had
moved
and
mainetained
,
wherein
he
so
set
forth
the
agreement
of
the
Church
of
Rome
with
vs
,
&
their
disagreement
from
vs
,
as
if
we
had
consented
in
the
greatest
,
&
weightiest
points
,
and
differed
only
in
certaine
smaller
matters
:
which
agreement
noted
by
him
in
two
chiefe
points
,
is
not
such
as
hee
woulde
haue
made
men
beleeue
.
The
one
in
that
he
said
,
they
acknowledged
al
men
sinners
,
even
the
blessed
Virgin
,
though
some
of
them
freed
her
from
sin
,
for
the
Councel
of
Trent
holdeth
that
shee
was
free
from
sinne
.
Another
in
that
he
said
;
they
teach
Christs
righteousnesse
to
be
the
only
meritorious
cause
of
taking
awaie
sinne
,
and
differ
from
vs
onlie
in
the
applying
of
it
.
For
Thomas
Aquinas
their
chiefe
schooleman
,
and
Archbishop
Catherinus
teach
,
that
Christ
tooke
awaie
onlie
originall
sin
,
and
that
the
rest
are
to
be
taken
away
by
our selues
;
yea
the
councel
of
Trent
teacheth
that
righteousnes
,
wherby
we
are
righteous
in
Gods
sight
,
is
an
inherent
righteousnesse
:
which
must
needes
be
of
our
owne
works
,
and
cannot
be
vnderstoode
of
the
righteousnesse
inherent
only
in
Christs
person
,
and
accounted
vnto
vs
.
Moreover
hee
taught
the
same
time
,
that
neither
the
Galathians
,
nor
the
Church
of
Rome
did
directly
overthrow
the
foundation
of
iustification
by
Christ
alone
,
but
only
by
consequent
,
and
therefore
might
well
bee
saved
;
or
else
neither
the
Churches
of
Lutherans
,
nor
any
which
hold
anie
manner
of
errour
could
bee
saved
,
because
(
saith
he
)
everie
errour
by
consequent
overthroweth
the
foundation
.
In
which
discourses
and
such
like
hee
bestowed
his
whole
time
,
&
more
,
which
,
if
he
had
affected
either
the
truth
of
God
,
or
the
peace
of
the
Church
,
he
would
truely
not
haue
done
.
Whose
example
could
not
draw
me
to
leaue
the
Scripture
I
tooke
in
hand
,
but
standing
about
an
houre
to
deliver
the
doctrine
of
it
,
in
the
end
vpon
iust
occasion
of
the
text
leaving
sundrie
other
his
vnsound
speeches
,
and
keeping
me
still
to
the
principall
;
I
confirmed
the
beleeving
the
doctrine
of
iustification
by
Christ
only
to
be
necessarie
to
the
iustification
of
all
that
shoulde
bee
saved
,
and
that
the
Church
of
Rome
directlie
denieth
that
a
man
is
saved
by
Christ

deserved

yet
I
chose
rather
to

in
exhorting

to
revisite
his

Peter
the
Apostle
to
indure
to
be
withstoode
in
such
a
case
not
vnlike
vnto
this
.
This
in
effect
was
that
which
passed
betweene
vs
concerning
this
matter
,
&
the
invectiues
I
made
against
him
,
wherewith
I
am
charged
;
which
rehearsall
,
I
hope
,
may
cleare
me
(
with
all
that
shall
indifferently
consider
it
)
of
the
blames
laid
vpon
me
for
want
of
duty
to
Mr
Hooker
in
not
conferring
with
him
,
whereof
I
haue
spoken
sufficiently
alreadie
:
and
to
the
high
commission
in
not
revealing
the
matter
to
them
,
which
yet
now
I
am
further
to
answere
.
My
answere
is
,
that
I
protest
no
contempt
nor
willfull
neglect
of
any
lawfull
authoritie
staide
me
from
complaining
vnto
them
,
but
these
reasons
following
.
First
I
was
in
some
hope
,
that
Mr
Hooker
,
notwithstanding
he
had
beene
overcarried
with
a
shew
of
charitie
to
preiudice
the
truth
,
yet
when
it
should
bee
sufficientlie
proved
,
would
haue
acknowledged
it
,
or
at
the
least
induced
with
peace
,
that
it
might
be
offered
without
either
offence
to
him
,
or
to
such
as
would
receiue
it
;
either
of
which
would
haue
taken
away
anie
cause
of
iust
complaint
.
When
neither
of
these
fel
out
according
to
my
expectation
,
and
desire
,
but
that
he
replyed
to
the
truth
,
and
obiected
against
it
,
I
thought
hee
might
haue
some
doubtes
,
and
scruples
in
himselfe
,
which
yet
if
they
were
cleared
,
hee
would
either
embrace
some
doctrine
,
or
at
least
suffer
it
to
haue
his
course
;
which
hope
of
him
I
nourished
so
long
as
the
matter
was
not
bitterlie
,
and
immodestlie
handled
betweene
vs
.
Another
reason
was
the
cause
it selfe
,
which
according
to
the
parable
of
the
tares
(
which
are
said
to
bee
sowne
amongst
the
wheat
)
sprung
vp
first
in
his
grasse
.
Therefore
as
the
servants
in
that
place
are
not
said
to
haue
come
to
complain
to
the
Lord
till
the
tares
came
to
shew
their
fruits
in
their
kind
:
so
I
thinking
it
yet
but
a
time
of
discovering
of
it
,
what
it
was
,
desired
not
their
sickle
to
cut
it
downe
.
For
further
answer
it
is
to
be
considered
,
that
the
conscience
of
my
duty
to
God
,
and
to
his
Church
,
did
bind
me
at
the
first
to
deliver
sound
doctrine
in
such
points
,
as
had
beene
otherwise
vttered
in
the
place
,
where
I
had
now
some
yeares
taught
the
truth
.
Otherwise
the
rebuke
of
the
[
*
](A13883-e10710-b)
*
〈…〉
Prophet
had
fallen
vpon
mee
for
not
going
vp
to
the
breach
,
and
standing
in
it
,
and
the
[
*
](A13883-e10720-b)
*
〈…〉
perill
for
answering
the
blood
of
the
Cittie
,
in
whose
watch-tower
I
sate
,
if
it
had
bin
surprised
by
my
default
.
Moreover
my
publike
protestation
in
being
vnwilling
,
that
if
any
were
not
yet
satisfied
,
some
other
more
convenient
way
might
be
taken
for
it
.
And
lastly
that
J
had
resolued
(
which
I
vttered
before
to
some
dealing
with
me
about
the
matter
)
to
haue
protested
the
next
Saboth
day
,
that
I
would
no
more
answere
in
that
place
any
obiections
to
the
doctrine
taught
by
any
meanes
,
but
some
other
way
satisfie
such
as
should
require
it
.
These
I
trust
may
make
it
appeare
,
that
I
failed
not
in
duty
to
authoritie
;
notwithstanding
I
did
not
complaine
,
nor
giue
over
so
soone
dealing
in
the
case
.
If
I
did
,
how
is
he
cleere
,
which
can
alleage
none
of
all
these
for
himselfe
,
who
leaving
the
expounding
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
his
ordinary
calling
,
voluntarily
discoursed
vpon
schoole
points
and
questions
neither
of
edification
,
nor
of
truth
,
who
after
all
this
,
as
promising
to
himselfe
,
and
to
vntruth
a
victory
by
my
silence
,
added
yet
in
the
next
Saboth
day
to
the
maintenance
of
his
former
opinions
these
which
follow
.
That
no
additament
taketh
away
the
foundation
except
it
be
a
privatiue
,
of
which
sort
neither
the
workes
added
to
Christ
by
the
Church
of
Rome
,
nor
circumcision
by
the
Galathians
were
as
one
denieth
him
not
to
be
a
man
,
that
saith
he
is
a
righteous
man
,
but
hee
that
saith
he
is
a
dead
man
:
whereby
it
might
seeme
that
a
man
might
without
hurt
adde
workes
to
Christ
,
and
pray
also
,
that
God
and
S.
Peter
would
saue
him
.
That
the
Galathians
case
is
harder
then
the
case
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
because
the
Galathians
ioined
circumcision
with
Christ
,
which
God
hath
forbidden
,
and
abolished
:
but
that
which
the
Church
of
Rome
ioined
with
Christ
were
good
workes
which
God
hath
commanded
.
wherein
he
committed
a
double
fault
;
one
,
in
expounding
all
the
question
of
the
Galathians
,
and
consequently
of
the
Romans
,
and
other
Epistles
of
circumcision
only
,
and
the
ceremonies
of
the
law
(
as
they
doe
who
answer
for
the
Church
of
Rome
in
their
writings
)
contrary
to
the
cleere
meaning
of
the
Apostle
,
as
may
appeare
by
many
strong
,
and
sufficient
reasons
:
the
other
in
that
hee
said
the
addition
of
the
Church
of
Rome
was
of
workes
commanded
of
God
,
whereas
the
least
part
of
the
workes
,
whereby
they
looked
to
merit
,
was
of
such
workes
,
and
most
were
of
supererogation
,
and
of
workes
which
God
never
commanded
,
but
was
highly
displeased
with
,
as
of
Masses
,
Pilgrimages
,
pardons
,
paines
of
Purgatory
,
and
such
like
:
further
that
no
one
sequell
vrged
by
the
Apostle
against
the
Galathians
for
ioining
circumcision
with
Christ
,
but
might
be
aswell
enforced
against
the
Lutherans
,
that
is
,
that
for
their
vbiquitie
it
may
be
aswell
said
to
them
,
if
yee
hold
the
body
of
Christ
to
be
in
all
places
,
you
are
fallen
from
grace
,
you
are
vnder
the
curse
of
the
law
,
saying
,
cursed
be
he
that
fulfilleth
not
all
things
written
in
this
booke
with
such
like
:
he
added
yet
further
,
that
to
a
Bishop
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
to
a
Cardinall
,
yea
to
the
Pope
himselfe
,
acknowledging
Christ
to
bee
the
saviour
of
the
world
,
denying
other
errours
,
&
being
discomforted
for
want
of
workes
whereby
he
might
be
iustified
,
he
would
not
doubt
but
vse
this
speech
;
Thou
holdest
the
foundation
of
Christian
faith
,
though
it
bee
but
by
a
slender
thread
;
thou
holdest
Christ
,
though
but
as
by
the
hem
of
his
garment
,
why
shouldst
thou
not
hope
that
vertue
may
passe
from
Christ
to
saue
thee
?
That
,
which
thou
holdest
of
iustification
by
thy
workes
,
overthroweth
indeed
by
consequent
the
foundation
of
Christian
faith
;
but
be
of
good
cheere
,
thou
hast
not
to
doe
with
a
captious
Sophister
,
but
with
a
mercifull
God
,
who
will
iustifie
thee
,
for
that
thou
holdest
,
and
not
take
the
advantage
of
doubtfull
construction
to
condemne
thee
.
And
if
this
,
hee
said
,
bee
an
errour
,
I
hold
it
willingly
;
for
it
is
the
greatest
comfort
I
haue
in
this
world
,
without
which
I
would
not
wish
either
to
speak
or
to
liue
.
Thus
far
,
being
not
to
bee
answered
in
it
any
more
,
he
was
bold
to
proceed
;
the
absurditie
of
which
speech
I
need
not
to
stand
vpon
.
I
thinke
the
like
to
this
and
other
such
in
this
sermon
,
and
the
rest
of
this
matter
hath
not
beene
heard
in
publique
places
within
this
land
since
Queene
Maries
daies
.
What
consequence
this
doctrine
may
be
of
,
if
he
bee
not
by
authoritie
ordered
to
revoke
it
,
I
beseech
your
HH.
as
the
truth
of
God
&
his
gospell
is
deere
and
pretious
vnto
you
,
according
to
your
godly
wisdomes
to
consider
.
I
haue
beene
bold
to
offer
to
your
HH.
a
long
and
tedious
discourse
of
these
matters
.
But
speech
being
like
to
tapestrie
,
which
,
if
it
be
folded
vp
,
sheweth
but
part
of
that
which
is
wrought
,
and
being
vnlapt
&
laid
open
sheweth
plainely
to
the
eye
all
the
worke
that
is
in
it
;
I
thought
it
necessarie
to
vnfold
this
tapestrie
,
&
to
hang
vp
the
whole
chamber
of
it
in
your
most
Honorable
senate
:
that
so
you
may
the
more
easily
discerne
of
all
the
peeces
,
and
the
sundry
workes
and
matters
contained
in
it
.
Wherin
my
hope
is
your
HH.
may
see
J
haue
not
deserved
so
great
a
punishment
as
is
laid
vpon
the
Church
for
my
sake
,
and
also
vpon
my selfe
in
taking
from
me
the
exercise
of
my
ministery
:
which
punishment
how
heavie
it
may
seeme
to
the
Church
,
or
fall
out
indeed
to
be
,
J
referre
it
to
them
to
iudge
,
&
spare
to
write
what
I
feare
;
but
to
my selfe
it
is
exceeding
grievous
,
for
that
it
taketh
from
mee
the
exercise
of
my
calling
.
Which
I
doe
not
say
is
deare
vnto
mee
as
the
meanes
of
that
little
benefit
whereby
I
liue
(
although
this
be
a
lawfull
consideration
,
and
to
bee
regarded
of
me
in
due
place
,
and
of
the
authority
vnder
whose
protection
I
most
willingly
liue
,
even
by
Gods
commandement
,
both
vnto
them
,
and
vnto
me
:
)
but
which
ought
to
bee
more
pretious
to
me
then
my
life
,
for
the
loue
which
J
should
beare
to
the
glory
and
honour
of
Almightie
God
,
and
to
the
edification
and
salvation
of
his
Church
,
for
that
my
life
cannot
any
other
way
be
of
like
service
to
God
,
nor
of
such
vse
and
profit
to
men
by
any
meanes
:
for
which
cause
,
as
J
discerne
,
how
deare
any
ministery
ought
to
be
vnto
me
,
so
it
is
my
harty
desire
,
and
most
humble
request
vnto
God
,
to
your
HH.
and
to
all
the
authoritie
I
liue
vnder
,
to
whom
any
dealing
herein
belongeth
,
that
I
may
spend
my
life
according
to
his
example
,
who
in
a
word
of
like
sound
of
fuller
sense
*
comparing
by
it
the
bestowing
of
his
life
to
the
offering
powred
out
vpon
the
sacrifice
of
the
faith
of
Gods
people
,
and
especially
of
this
Church
wherevpon
I
haue
already
powred
out
a
great
part
thereof
in
the
same
calling
,
from
which
I
stand
nowe
restrained
.
And
if
your
HH.
shall
finde
it
so
that
J
haue
not
deserved
so
great
a
punishment
,
but
rather
performed
the
duty
,
which
a
good
and
faithful
servant
ought
in
such
a
case
to
do
to
his
Lord
,
&
the
people
he
putteth
him
in
trust
withall
carefully
to
keepe
;
I
am
a
most
humble
suiter
by
these
presents
to
your
HH.
that
by
your
godly
wisdome
,
some
good
course
may
be
taken
for
the
restoring
of
me
to
my
ministery
and
place
againe
.
Which
so
great
a
favour
shall
bind
me
yet
in
a
greater
obligation
of
dutie
(
which
is
already
so
great
,
as
it
seemed
nothing
could
be
added
vnto
it
,
to
make
it
greater
)
to
honour
God
daily
for
the
continuance
and
increase
of
your
good
estate
,
and
to
be
ready
with
all
the
poore
meanes
God
hath
given
me
,
to
doe
your
HH.
that
faithfull
service
,
I
may
possibly
performe
:
but
if
,
notwithstanding
my
cause
be
never
so
good
,
your
HH.
can
by
no
meanes
pacifie
such
as
are
offended
,
nor
restore
me
againe
,
then
am
I
to
rest
in
the
good
pleasure
of
God
,
and
to
commend
to
your
HH.
protection
vnder
her
Maiesties
my
privat
life
,
while
it
shall
be
led
in
dutie
,
and
the
Church
to
him
,
who
hath
redeemed
to
himselfe
a
people
with
his
pretious
blood
,
&
is
making
ready
to
come
to
iudge
both
the
quick

dead
,
to
giue
to

hee
hath
done
in

it
good
