news FROM THE TOWER, FRANCE and PURGATORY. First, CONCERNING THE IMPRISONENT of Sir Edward Deering, with the cause of the same. Then the time prefixed when the Bishops do come to their Answer, with the manner of their Arraignment. With the Vote also of the House of Commons given against bishop Wren, and how they have already committed to the House of peers. likewise in a relation how the pope hath sent over a pardon for Canterburies Absolution, with the manner of his Holinesse message. As also how Pluto stith the diabolical Fiends are resolved to keep Holiday. Imprinted in the year, 1642. virtue is the more subject to censure then 'vice, and the purest diadem more apt to take dirt, then a common ston: Yea, wisdom and Learning is of more propensity to be taxed then Ignorance; Yet notwithstanding I ingeniously confess with grave Cato, Nemo si●e crimine vivit, No man can live without a fault. Thus it happened with sir Edward Deering, he that was once the glory of the people, the famed of the House, the credit of his Country, the object of each eye, but concerning some speeches of his which was printed onely by his own consent, and without the Assent of the whole House, he gave great distaste unto them, and being found culpable therein, was immediately sent to the Tower. The Parliament have forthwith ordered, that the accused Bishops should come to their answers next Tuesday, to answer those manifold Articles and Objections, whereof they are highly arraigned and impeached. The House of Commons have already voted Bishop Wren dower, and gave their censure to him, and have now committee him to the House of of peers for their concurrence with them. The epidemical expectation of the infernal Crew for their blessed Martyt Canterbury, hath waited a long time to see his Grace, not only disinvested of the mitre, but to adorn their sulphu●ious tribunal with his archiepiscopal presence: And the Frenchmen, to whose papistical beads ▪ Crosses and masses Canterbury stood infini ely engaged, have offered up their assiduous supplications and quotidian prayers to all the martyrs, Apostles, Saints, and the Virgin Mary, that his Grace when he dyes when he dyes might be released from pu●g●tory. The whole imaginary Synod immediately to consult, and every one willingly proffering himself to resign his place for him: Yea, Triple headed Cerberus hath promised to prefer him to the chiefest and most metropolitan-like leate in all Pluto's Court, and Charon comunicaled his Co●●cel with the others to waft him, over the stygian Lake. And finally, the Tower will likewise do him great service on earth, for because he in his life-time made many Canons to defend its pre●●itised walls; therefore he shall be there canonised. Thus is Canterbury circumducted with many assistance, and eexpecteth therefore to go to purgatory in as great pomp as ever Arch bishop did before him. To see the great metropolitan of a state have his grave th●s digged before his yes, by the invocation of his dearew Friends is no common spectacle, and ●o see the very Fiends of Hell wait upon them in this stately manner, is no vulgar courtesy. But I think purgatory will be too little to contain him, whose ambitious thoughts the whole Unverse, and specula●ive ●onc●ve●●●●e Heavens could no● compre●end in the competent spirit of Humility; and I suppose, when he shall once there appear, he will superiously e●c●ude al the other martyrs and holy saints, challenging the precedent priority, and sovereignty to himself ▪ But first I will delineate the express description of every thing that interceded for his preferment thither: many Trenchmen having a long time subjected themselves to pathetical passion for their grand maecenas and English popes imprisonment, di●igently l●bo●red with unwearied dil●gence; to obtain first pardon from the Pope for Cant●rbury, and being clearly ab●olved he should be canon●zed for a blessed martyr; and they did likewise supplicate for his good releasement out o● Pu●g●tory. This pardon was forth with granted for his Vicegerent, and secondary, and a successive Emb●ssage was then immediately transported from; France to the Tower in London, where Canterbury, with his confederates are most prelattically ●nca●ged. And withall besides this obtained dardon for his absolution, they were suddenly resolved to hatch some private and obscure stratagem to tel case and convey him from thence to France with great expedition, which news being annunciated to his Grace, he could no less then in a delectable presbyterial smile laugh, or rather triumph at the audience of so happy tidings. But not to bury al their affectionate courtesies in the oblivious sepulchre of Ingratitude he most respectively thanked and gratified their so loving & courteous an ambassage promising, that to the uttermost of his power, he would repeat his assiduous have Meri's and salue regina's to the remuneration and retribution of their zealous resolutions. Then they forthwith iterated in a digested repetition their mature intents concerning the procurement of his his release that they had nursed and fomented a stupendeous plot for the same purpose, and how they were resolved shortly to deliver the same, and withall they humbly desired and implored his Grace to conduct Wren along with him, to be his concomitant and at their arrival at Fr●nce the one should bee ●ainted, and the other made cardinal, but that little bide is in the Cage already. Then his Grace seriously condescended thereunto, and remembering his humble and submissiive obedience to his Holinesse, they departed with great a●●crity, promising to recommend his service to the Pope: Then Canterbury being alone, began to revove again, and again that happy news from France, and repeating many private Soliloquies to himself, he began to say with the ancient Philosopher, Nunquam minus solus, quam cum solus. Yet I must not deriate too far from Charon and Cerberus in a digressing abberration: Charon, I say, hath made ready his Ferry, and waits in expectation of this Arch Prelate: Cerberus he will reject the old Fabulous and poetical Ementions Offae, and nothing shall( he is resolved fully) excuse him but his own person. Tantalus leaves off his sitiating appetite, and thirsts more to see Canterbury there, then all his Golden apple. Titius will not regard his Liver consuming Vulture, which daily in a ferates him, but will with solidity triumph to see his Grace there. The Danaides will retract themselves from their endless labours and their sieve running dolium, and would rejoice to expleat it with his briuish tears, but that I fear he is too adamantine. sisyphus would stay his Hill-rowling ston, and in an honest laughter howte at his Grace: Yea I do proynostiente so much, that at his execution day, and pilgrimage to Hell, all thee Fiends would then keep Holiday: but I suppose he will communica●e so much Grace unto that infernal Crew, that he will leave himself no Grace at all; yet give me leave to prescribe this Elegy before hir departure in consonance the former Canto: Memento mori, Remember Purgatory, While Frenchmen Canonize your story, Farewell poor Canterbury, Alas poor Canterbure.
