WHereas Wee , out of Our care to conserue and maintaine the Church , committed to Our Charge , in the vnity of true Religion , and the bond of peace , and not to suffer vnnecessary disputes , which may trouble the quiet both of Church and State , haue lately caused the Articles of Religion to bee reprinted , as a rule for auoyding of diuersities of opinion , and for the establishing of consent in true Religion ; We , continuing Our desire to compasse this wished effect , and considering that the Booke written by Richard Montague , now Bishop of Chichester , then but Batchelor of Diuinitie , intituled , ( Appello Caesarem , or , An Appeale to Caesar , ) and published in the yeere ( 1625. ) was the first cause of those disputes and differences , which haue sithence much troubled the quiet of the Church ; haue thought it fitting to ta● away the occasion by calling in the said Booke : And therfore , We doe hereby will and straightly command all and singular persons whatsoeuer , who haue , or shall haue any of them in their hands or custodie , that vpon paine of Our high displeasure , and the consequence thereof , they doe deliuer the same presently vpon this publication , to the Lord Bishop of the Didcesse , or his Chancellor , if it bee out of the Vniuersities , or if it be in either of the two Vniuersities , to the Chancellor or Vice-chancellor there , whom Wee straightly command to suppersse the same ; hoping thereby , that men will no more trouble themselues with these vnnecessary questions , the first occasion being taken away : But if Wee shall bee deceiued in this Our expectation , and that by reading , preaching , or making Bookes , either pro or contra , concerning these differences , men begin anew tO dispute , Wee shall take such order with them , and those Bookes , that they shall wish they had neuer thought vpon these needlesse Controuersies .
