England's joyalty, IN joyful expressions, for the City of London's safety, being a true and real Relation of many most remarkable passages which have been lately divulged by one D. Peake Vicar of Tenterden in Kent, and Parson of Ancridge in the same County. Who did speak dangerous words against the Parliament, the Lord Maior and Aldermen of this City of London, and now presented to the consideration of the Honourable House of COMMONS in PARLIAMENT. Discovered by Master Minis his late Curate there, and now under Master Matthew Milward, of Great Saint Helen's in London. LONDON, Printed by R.H. for I.H. at his house in the Old-Bayley. 1641. THis Doctor Peake being engrafted into my Lord's Grace of Canterbury's favour: he was fortthwith advanced to promotion, being made one of his Majesty's Chaplains in Ordinary, a Prebend of Canterbury, and two other spiritual Promotions, the one being the Vicarage of Tenderden, in the County of Kent, and the other the Parsonage of Ancridge, some seven miles from thence distant, and both these of a very good yearly value, he himself very seldom preaching, and then after the Arminian garb, he allowing but a small stipend to his Curate, whose chance then to be, was Master Minis, till better promotion should befall him. About some fourteen weeks since the said Master Minis, being at dinner with Doctor Peake and his Wife; Doctor Peakes Wives Father, and another Widow-woman, by name Mistress Gee, the Wife of the late Minister of Tenterden, when after dinner the Doctor falling into discouse with his Wife's father, uttered many base and scandalous speeches against the State, concerning the death of the late Earl of Strafford, and then fell to discourse of the Parliament, and the trained Bands of the City, his Wife said they were a company of cowardly fellows, and he replied, that a Company of five hundred good Soldiers out of Ireland would quickly vanquish them all, and put them to flight, and said moreover, that it were a good deed to take the Lord Maior, the Sheriffs, and some of the Aldermen, with others of good rank and quality, and hang them up at their own doors, the rest would soon be brought to subjection. O the inveterate, malicious, and cankered rotten heart of this ungodly Doctor! so uncharitable, to wish evil to that honourable City, where he had his first well-being, in supplying a Lecture in Saint Bartholomews Church behind the Exchange in London, Doctor Grant being the now Minister thereof. I beseech Almighty God to make this hollow-hearted, evill-thoughted Doctor to be brought to deserved punishment. His Wife's father out of base disposition and venomous heart, wished with great violence and passion, that the City of London were burnt, and some of the Parliament taken and hanged: but mark the just judgement of God upon this wicked miscreant, for that afternoon he went to his own house some seven miles from thence and the next day died suddenly, the Doctor hearing of these traitorous speeches never rebuked him therefore. These and such like wicked and traitorous speeches were taken notice of by Master Minis, and by him upon the faith of a Minister, are ready by oath to be maintained against the said Doctor to the House of Commons in Parliament, who no doubt will speedily send for the said Doctor, and according to his demerits make him an example for all such illaffected people to Church and State to take warning by. The said Master Minis doth also testify, that formerly he hath been an instrument of the apprehension of divers Priests and lesuites, which the Lords Grace of Canterbury did under a colour send his Warrant for, and they were the next day released, which Master Minis taking notice of, he went to Croyden, the Archbishop then lying there, and told his Grace of the same, who answered him, they had the Queen's protection, and that he could not stay any of them, that were by her protected: this was all he had for his pains and care in seeking to discover such; only his dinner there, and a twenty shillings piece to stop his mouth as the Bishop then thought. But now thanks be given to the Almighty God, the times are altered, and the honourable Parliament have made good and wholesome orders, for the apprehending of Priests and jesuits, with promises to all such as shall be the means of discovering of them, or any such. FINIS. THe aforementioned Relation was exactly taken from Master Minos own mouth, by the testification of many sufficient witnesses, and now published to the common spectacle of the world, to demonstrate unto all the treacherous and Antichristian exoptations of the Conterburian Doctor: but I hope the Parliament will take these invective aspersions of such railing Rabshakehs into their grave and judicious considerations; and I fear that the same curses which they wish against this renowned City will light shortly on their own heads; while my daily and continual prayers shall be, that God of his Almighty Omnipotence would preserve and defend this City and noble Parliament, to the extirpation of all such heretical Doctors, and the flourishing estate of this whole Kingdom.
