A PETITION TO THE LORDS , TO examine the religion and cariage of D. Ban. Archb.

By Hugh Broughton .

Anᵒ 1608.

I Wrote a reply ( right honourable ) vpon a Iew in defence of all Christendome : as many of your Lordships have seen the book . The Iew being subtile had caught D. Brancroft , as an allower of our works in Iudaisme with him . Wherin art could give no better answer then that our old notes were long agoe revoked . The scholers of Geneva were also in Iudaisme : But the Senatours gave me leave to confute them : & sware that they would bridle them for ever . Then they went about to have me killed for denying that Q. E. ever meant to defeat K. I. In contradiction Beza wrot to Basil to D. Polanus . I sayd all was but a dreame : and I would hav printed an Ebrewes Ebrew commendation of the Q. for her royall purpose in sending me word by Sir Iulius Caesar that I should chose my ecclesiastical preferment for my commentaries vpon Daniel . But Bancroft by 3000. wel given to a courtier and a Lady , procured grief to Q. Elisabet and defeatance . This commendation allowed by the Senate : One Grinetus & Pinot now dead , and another now dead hindered with disturbance strange : that the Senate sent me word of danger by soldiers stirring . That I record . Bancroft seing himself in Iudaisme : and as I heard in his allowed Libel equall scoffer as of a mist soone scattered , raved against me , for pearles to such , and holy things to such . Now seing the Law of God which may not passe contemned biddeth reprove openly them that sin openly , I require from God that your Lordships hear with justice my articles against Richard Bancroft .

Rabbi Farar objected that our S. Luke set not downe our Lords kinred but Iosephs , and citeth our English translation : and our notes further , to prove extremitie of dotage .

Bancroft railed against a right defence : and suffreth our Athean notes of treason against the Gospel .

Bancroft is equal in Athean vilanie with the Iew .

A weightier cause cannot be found then that of our Lords house after the flesh : & right distinction of ending Salomons race in Iechonias . The Iewes vniversally denied that : & Bancroft in allowing our banned croft of notes , & raving against the defender of the right , helpeth him .

Bancroft is in equal Iudaisme :

Rabbi Farar vrged this true proposition , that by Bancrofts assumption he might ban all the holy croft of our Gospel .

Yf the Romanes be the legges of Daniels Image , or be the fourth beast , whom Daniel bringeth to perish before the redeemer commeth into the world , our Gospel hath missed of the true redeemer . For Christ our L. came into the world the first day that in Bethleem taxe over the world argued the Romans a full destruction of the double Macedonians ( who in deed are the two legges and fourth beast ) .

The Romanes in his allowed notes be the Images leggs & fourth beast .

A croft of bane or poison is in Bancrofts banned Iudaisme .

The glory of all the old testament prophecied in Levit. 26. hath historie Dan. 9. the covenant of God remembranced and expounded : that the holy Angel telled the most gracious Prophet how the 70. yeares captivity space seven times , 490 yeres , are from Daniels prayer to our Lords death , ending Moses Ceremonies . And all the New testament is disturbed by the disturbance of this .

Lively is allowed by Bancroft to make 590. y. : so that Ezra whose Father was killed 2 King . 25. two and fiftie before Babel fell , and saw the Persians end at Livelies 230. should live 280 yeres & ten Zorobabelidae should draw 557. yeres , Math. 1. that both testaments should be nothing worth :

And Bancroft in the libel allowing Lively , as Bar-Lo , denyeth sacrifice ended at our Lords death , or time of his Birth Baptisme Death told in the law

Bancroft is to be holden an assistant to the vnbeleeving Iewes , & equall in Athean vilany , against our hope of salvation .

Rabbi Farar busily bestirreth himself to prove that by our graunt our scripture is not pure in text : so it should not be a rule of salvation .

Bancroft as Bar-Lo allowing Liuely damning the old testament in 848 readings of text as corrupted would perswade that we blaspheme the old testament justly : & accuse in notes and translation Act. 7. the N. T. to be corrupt ,

Bancroft is a deadly enemy to both testaments , and vnallowable in this course to be a teacher : or to rule in Lerning .

Farar , or old Ben Arama .

They who sayd Jesus their Saviour went to Hell cannot holding that , hold Salvation .

Moses Levit. 26. and all Rabbines vpon him , & in all their writings : and our Gospel and S. Paul & Luke Act. 7. shew that all faithful go onely to heaven .

Bancroft is to be banned with all the croft of his Athean vilanie of his heresie and railing against Archb. Whitgift & Doctor Bilson for this syllogisme :

The place which received our Lords soul gone from the body and this world is haides of the Crede : and the descending is the passage thither : Whitgift and all Grecians .

Paradise is the place vnto which our Lords soule , or all holy soules went hence . Doctor Bilson & both testaments all Iewes for the just : and the best Christian Graecians & heathen then in their kind .

Therfore to descend to Hell in the Creed is to go vp to Paradise .

So Bancroft in the consent to the Libel hoping to see his countrey on flame raving against the BB. Syllogisme shewed all extremitie of any Iudaisme to overthrow the mayn poinct of salvation .

How the Creed should be translated :

〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 meaneth , To go hence to God : & because Gods throne is on high , and there the godly have heaven , & the wicked , Hell : in the holy it is : a going to Heaven : in the other , to Hell . The vnlearned wight that seing this matter so explaned would mainteyn a dayly Lie , that our Lords soule , went down , wher al ascend to God , and went to Hel , not ( by the Gospel ) to heaven , this vnlearned wight should be removed from his place . And D. Whitgift wel held that al who deny our Lords soule to have removed to Haides ar in Atheisme : as denyers of soules immortalitie . And this much for Iudaisme . The Machmadean absurdities sold as with the Bible , told to the K. for some part : yf B. Ban not all the croft of them , I wil give him in Greek Epistles quiet advertrisemēt : Although his G. vnderstandeth Greek as I do Persian : yet for the simple I would not openly shew his errors & others may turn all to English for his Grek . Touching harme to me for the K. I blame none but four scholers of Geneva , Bancroft & Bar-Lo . Bancroft brent these words as treason : The K. of our Language . He can rendre no other reason , why he brent the book vnder Q. E. and K. I. your Lordships may ask him . For the doctrine the D. cannot blame one syllable . Therfore his first hatred to the K. bred the second . D. Vahan saw his danger : and went about to calme al. Now Bar-Lo would not have scoffed the Bishops syllogisme and me , befooling himself , but to set his countrey as Nero on a flame . So for the K. the Bishops and I were scoffed . Further neyther nation nor person do I accuse for any harm , to any . My Petition for the Iewes vnto the K. is not for my self , but for the Bishops if they be able : and I could wish D. Bancr . all grace of sufficiency in Thalmudiques and Greek : to honour Christendome in this sort for the gayn with the Pain . And all the world must bear me record how frendly D. Bilson is honoured : whose wordes I take to prove against Iewes by scripture & Greeks that our Lords soule ascended from the crosse alone into heaven : as the second time in the body . So I would honour all the rest : and give good leave to ech one to step before me : to the gain and Pain . It is well known that the Iew meant to foile all Christendome : as that none should match him in elegancy of Talmudiques : and propounded such a scope to have the N. Test: compared with Moses 613 lawes , as sufficient without the Thalmud , that he litle looked for any to be found ever in the world , that would shew the Apostles to be the best Thalmudiques . Now none that know the greatnes of this paines : & how hard it is to find translaters from Ebrew into other tongues , that all nations ; may see how the matter is caried : and what payn wil be to find ebrew written works : & Greeks to be translated into Ebrew : as all Polychronius vpon Daniel none of skil wil here shew wil with desire to prevent others . And it would be an honour to our nation , yf an Archbishop or Bishop should passe Rabbines and match Greeks in their kind : as Crammer by Martyrdome and Iewel by fathers are an eternal honour to our Iland . And if the Bishops wil not move the K. the P. and your honours wil : and wish the Bishops far sager and quieter cariage .

Your Lordships most humble Hugh Broughton
