ARTICLES Exhibited in the Parliament against WILLIAM BEALE, Doctor of DIVINITY, and MASTER of St. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the University of CAMBRIDGE, The 6th. of August. 1641.  
1. THat he presumptuously preached a Sermon at St. Paul's in London 1640. which did not only contain Heretical Doctrine, but did also applaud and extol the Papists to be the King's truest Subjects, and most Loyal in the whole Kingdom.  
2. That in another Sermon at the same Church he did positively confirm with an audacious confidence and insolency, that the Puritans were Traitors to the Crowns in three respects, (or at least as bad as Traitors.) 

1. Of their obstinacy.  
2. Of their Schismatical Religion.  
3. Of their Disloyalty.   And therefore in his opinion they either aught by coercion to be compelled to their Conformity, or to suffer extremity of Law.  
3. That by sufficient proof and authority he preached in St. Mary's against the Subject's freedom and liberty.  
4. That in the same Sermon he said it was a sin of damnation not to bow at the name of Jesus, and his Argument he produced out of the Scripture false quoted, and that the sin was the same for not bowing with submissive reverence to the Comumnion Table both at our first entrance and departure out of the Church.  
5. That in his College he did most tyrannically usurp Conformity, and did exult in a most majesterial way, commanding the Deans of the said College to execute the inflictions of severe punishments on all those who would not observe Conformity: as to bow very low at the coming in at the Chapel to the Communion Table, and likewise at their going out thereof without any exception both of the Fellows, Scholars and Students of the said College.  
6. That because those Papistical Innovations did oppose the pious Consciences of some which would not observe them, there were four expelled upon the non-performance thereof.  
7. That after the expulsion of those he commanded the President-Lecturers and Deans to admit none into the College, unless they took an absolute Oath of the performannce thereof.  
8. That he was the sole encourager of Dr. Cousins in his Vice-Chancellourship, to tyrannise in that lesuiticall, Popish, and Canterburian Religion, which doth manifestly appear, first, that by his especial means he was elected Vicechancellor, then by his often frequenting, and eucouraging him unto tyrannical usurpation, and public promulgation of that Romish Religion.  
9 That he commanded the Deans of the said College to severely punish according to the expressed infliction who would not likewise convert their face toward the East, at Glory be to the Father, etc. and many times in Divine Service, so that he did luxuriously introduce Popish Innovations, and Ceremonies.  
10. That at the Offering at the Communion he compelled the Fellows to give 12. pence, the Bachelors of Arts 8. pence, and the Pensioners 6. pence, & the Subsizers 4. pence, which after it was collected was never given to the poor according to the intent of those which gave it charitably, but was forthwith put to their private use either for erecting Pictures, or Images, or divers others Idolatrous things, or Wax-candles, and a numerous multiplicity of the like detestations.  
11. That he did seduce and allure divers young Students out of other Colleges, promising them upon their Conformity great preferment in his College, which he did frequently: and those who were proper for preferment, were frustrated and withal greatly contemned without any respect, because they did not observe his Papistical Superstition.
