Bishop HALL's Hard Measure.  
NOTHING could be more Plain, than that upon the Call of this Parliament, and before, there was a general Plot and Resolution of the Faction to alter the Government of the Church especially, the height and insolency of some Church-governors, as was conceived, and the ungrounded imposition of some Innovations upon the Churches, both of Scotland and England, gave a fit Hint to the Project: In the vacancy therefore before the Summons, and immediately after it, there was great working secretly for the Designation and Election as of Knights and Burgesses, so especially( beyond all former Use) of the Clerks of Convocation; when now the Clergy were stirred up to contest with, and oppose their Diocesans, for the Choice of such Men as were most inclined to the favour of an Alteration. The Parliament was no sooner sate, than many vehement Speeches were made against established Church-government, and enforcement of Extirpation both Root and Branch. And because it was not fit to set upon all at once, the resolution was to begin with those Bishops which had subscribed to the Canons then lately published, upon the shutting up of the former Parliament, whom they would first have had accused of Treason; but that not appearing feisible, they thought best to Indite them of very High Crimes and Offences against the King, the Parliament, and Kingdom, which was prosecuted with great earnestness by some prime Lawyers in the House of Commons, and entertained with like fervency by some zealous Lords in the House of Peers; every of those particular Canons being pressed to the most envious and dangerous height that was possible. The Arch-bishop of York( was designed for the Report) aggravating Mr. Maynard's Criminations to the utmost, not without some Interspersions of his own. The Counsel of the accused Bishops, gave in such a demurring Answer, as stopped the Mouth of that heinous Indictment: When this prevailed not, it was contrived to draw Petitions accusatory from many parts of the Kingdom against Episcopal Government, and the Promoters of the Petitions were entertained with great Respects; whereas the many Petitioners of the opposite Part, tho subscribed with many thousand Hands, were slighted and disregarded. Withal, the Rabble of London, after their Petitions, cunningly and upon other Pretences procured, were stirred up to come to the Houses personally to crave Justice, both against the Earl of Strafford first, and then against the Arch-bishop of Canterbury, and lastly against the whole Order of Bishops; which coming at first unarmed, were checked by some Well-willers, and easily persuaded to gird on their rusty Swords, and so Accoutred came by Thousands to the Houses, filling all the outer Rooms, offering foul Abuses to the Bishops as they passed, crying out, No Bishops, No Bishops; and at last, after divers Days assembling, grown to that height of Fury, that many of them, whereof Sir Richard Wiseman professed( tho to his Cost) to be Captain, came with Resolution of some violent Courses, in so much, that many Swords were drawn hereupon at Westminster, and the Rout did not stick openly to Profess, that they would pull the Bishops in pieces. Messages were sent down to them from the Lords, they still held firm both to the place and their bloody Resolutions. It now grew to be Torch-light, one of the Lords, the marquis of Hartford, came up to the Bishops Form,  told us that we were in great Danger, advised us to take some course for our own Safety, and being desired to tell us what he thought was the best way, counseled us to continue in the Parliament House all that Night; for( saith he) these People Vow they will watch you at your going out, and will search every Coach for you with Torches, so as you cannot escape. Hereupon the House of Lords was moved for some Order for the preventing their mutinous and riotous Meetings; Messages were sent down to the House of Commons to this purpose more than once, nothing was effected; but for the present( for so much as all the Danger was at the rising of the House) it was earnestly desired of the Lords, that some Care might be taken of our Safety: The Motion was received by some Lords with a Smile, some other Lords, as the Earl of Manchester, undertook the Protection of the Archbishop of York and his Company( whose Shelter I went under) to their Lodgings; the rest, some of them by their long stay, others by secret and far-fetched Passages escaped Home. It was not for us to venture any more to the House without some better Assurance; upon our resolved for bearance therefore, the Arch-bishop of York sent for us to his Lodgings at Westminster, lays before us the perilous Condition we were in, advices for Remedy( except we meant utterly to abandon our Right, and to desert our Station in Parliament) to Petition both his Majesty and the Parliament, that since we were legally called by his Majesty's Writ, to give our Attendance in Parliament, we might be secured in the performance of our Duty and Service against those Dangers that threatened us; and withal, to protest against any such Acts as should be made during the time of our forced Absence, for which he assured us, there were many Presidents in former Parliaments, and which if we did not, we should betray the Trust committed to us by his Majesty, and shamefully betray and abdicate the due Right, both of ourselves and Successors. To this Purpose, in our Presence, he drew up the said Petition and Protestation, avowing it to be Legal, Just and Agreeable to all former Proceedings, and being fair written, sent it to our several Lodgings for our Hands, which we accordingly Subscribed, intending yet to have had some further Consultation concerning the Delivering and whole Carriage of it. But' ere we could suppose it to be in any Hand but his own, the first News we heard, was, that there were Messengers addressed to fetch us in to the Parliament, upon an Accusation of High Treason. For, whereas this Paper was to have been delivered, first to his Majesty's Secretary; and after perusal by him, to his Majesty, and after, from his Majesty, to the Parliament, and for that Purpose, to the Lord Keeper, the Lord Littleton, who was the Speaker of the House of Peers; all these Professed not to have perused it at all, but the said Lord Keeper, willing enough to take this Advantage of Ingratiating himself with the House of Commons and the Faction, to which he knew himself sufficiently Obnoxious, finding what Use might be made of it by prejudicate Minds, reads the same openly in the House of Lords; and when he found some of the Faction Apprehensive enough of Misconstruction, Aggravates the Matter as highly Offensive, and of dangerous Consequence; and thereupon, not without much Heat and Vehemence, and with an ill Preface, it is sent down to the House of Commons; where it was entertained heinously, Glynne, with a full Mouth, crying it up for no less than High Treason; and some comparing, yea, preferring it to the Powder-plot. We, poor Souls,( who little thought that we had done any thing that might deserve a chiding) are now called to our Knees at the Bar, and charged severally with High Treason, being not a little Astonished at the suddainness of this Crimination, compared with the perfect Innocence of our own Intentions, which were only to bring us to our due Places in Parliament with safety and speed, without the least purpose of any Mans Offence: But now Traytors we are in all hast, and must be dealt with accordingly; For on January the 30th, in all the extremity of Frost, at Eight a Clock in the dark Evening, are we voted to the Tower; Only two of our Number had the favour of the Black Rod, by reason of their Age, which, tho desired by a Noble Lord, on my behalf, would not be yielded, wherein I aclowledge, and bless the Gracious Providence of my God, for had I been gratified, I had been undone both in Body and Purse; the Rooms being straight, and the expense beyond the reach of my Estate; The News of this our Crime and Imprisonment, soon flew over the City, and was entertained by our Well-willers, with ringing of Bells and Bonfires; who now gave us up( not without great Triumph) for lost Men, railing on our Perfidiousness, and judging us to what foul Deaths they pleased; and what scurrile and malicious Pamphlets were scattered Abroad throughout the Kingdom, and in Foreign Parts, blazoning our Infamy, and exaggerating our Treasonable Practices? What Insultations of our Adversaries was here? Being Caged sure enough in the Tower, the Faction had now fair Opportunities to work their own Designs, they therefore taking the Advantage of our Restraint, renew that Bill of theirs,( which had been twice before rejected since the beginning of this Session) for taking away the Votes of Bishops in Parliament, and in a very thin House, easily passed it: Which once condescended unto, I know not by what strong Importunity, His Majesty's Assent was drawn from him thereunto; we now, instead of looking after our wonted Honour, must bend our Thoughts upon the guarding of our Lives, which were with no small eagerness pursued, by the violent Agents of the Faction. Their sharpest Wits, and greatest Lawyers, were employed to advance our Impeachment to the height; but the more they looked into the Business, the less Crime could they find to fasten upon: In so much, as one of their Oracle, being demanded his judgement concerning the Fact, professed to them, they might with as good Reason accuse us of Adultery: Yet still there are we fast; only upon Petition to the Lords, obtaining this Favour, that we might have Counsel Assigned us; which, after much Reluctation, and many Menaces from the Commons against any Man of all the Commoners of England, that should dare to be seen to pled in this Case, against the representative Body of the Commons, was granted us; the Lords Assigned us five very worthy Lawyers, which were nominated to them by us; what Trouble and Charge it was to procure those eminent and much employed Counsellors to come to the Tower to us, and to observe the strict Laws of the Place, for the time of their Ingress, Regress and Stay, it is not hard to Judge. After we had lain some Weeks there, however the House of Commons, upon the first tender of our Impeachment, had desired we might be brought to a speedy Trial, yet, now, finding be like how little ground they had for so high an Accusation, they began to slacken their place, and suffered us, rather to languish under the fear of so dreadful Arraignment. In so much as now we are fain to Petition the Lords, that we might be brought to our Trial: The Day was set, several Summons were sent unto us; the Lieutenant had his Warrant to bring us to the Bar; Our Impeachment was severally red; we pleaded not Guilty Modo& Forma, and desired speedy Proceedings, which were accordingly promised, but not too hastily performed. After long Expectation, another Day was appointed for the Prosecution of this high Charge. The Lieutenant brought us again to the Bar; but with what Shoutings, and Exclamations, and furious Expressions of the enraged Multitudes, it is not easy to apprehended; being thither brought, and severally charged upon our Knees, and having given our Negative Answers to every Particular, Two Bishops, London and Winchester, were called in as Witnesses against us, as in that Point, whether they apprehended any such Cause of Fears in the Tumults Assembled, as that we were in any danger of our Lives in coming to the Parliament; who seemed to incline to a favourable Report of the Perils threatened, tho one of them was convinced, out of his own mouth, from the Relations himself had made at the Arch-bishop of York's Lodging. After this, Wild and Glyn made fearful Declamations at the Bar against us, aggravating all the Circumstances of our pretended Treason to the highest Pitch. Our Counsel were all ready at the Bar, to pled for us, in Answer of their clamorous and envious Suggestions; But it was Answered, that it was now too late, we should have another Day, which Day, to this Day, never came; the Circumstances of that Day's hearing, were more Grievous to us than the Substance; for we were all thronged so miserable in that straight Room before the Bar, by Reason, that the whole House of Commons would be there to see the Prizes of their Champions played; that we stood the whole Afternoon in no small Torture, sweeting and struggling with a Merciless Multitude, till being dismissed, we were exposed to a new and greater Danger. For now, in the Dark, we must to the Tower, by Barge, as we came, and must shoot the Bridge with no small peril. That God, under whose Merciful Protection we are, returned us to our safe Custody: There now we lay some Weeks longer, expecting the Summons for our Counsels Answer; but instead thereof, our Merciful Adversaries, well finding how sure they would be foiled in that unjust Charge of Treason, now under Pretences of remitting the height of Rigour, wave their former Impeachment of Treason against us, and fall upon an Accusation of High misdemeanours in that our Protestation, and will have us prosecuted as Guilty of a praemunire: altho, as we conceive, the Law hath ever been in the Parliamentary Proceedings, that if a Man were Impeached, as of Treason, being the highest Crime, the Accusant must hold him to the Proof of the Charge, and may not fall to any meaner Impeachment upon failing of higher. But in this Case of ours, it fell out otherwise, for although the Lords had openly promised us, that nothing should be done against us, till we and our Council were heard in our defence, yet the next News we heard was, the House of Commons had drawn up a Bill against us, wherein they declared us to be Delinquents of a very high Nature, and had thereupon desired to have it enacted that all our spiritual Means should be taken away: Only there should be Yearly allowance to every Bishop for his Maintenance according to a proportion by them set down; wherein they were pleased that my share should come to 400 l. per Annum. This Bill was sent up to the Lords and by them also passed, and there hath ever since lain; this being done, after some weeks more, finding the Tower, besides the Restraint, chargeable; we petitioned the Lords, that we might be admitted to Bail, and have liberty to return to our Homes, the Earl of Essex moved, the Lords Assented, took our Bail, sent to the Lieutenant of the Tower for our discharge: How glad were we to fly out of our Cage? No sooner was I got to my Lodging, than I thought to take a little fresh Air, in St. James's Park; and in my return to my Lodging in Deans yard passing through Westminster Hall, was saluted by divers of my Parliament acquantaince, and welcomed to my Liberty, whereupon some that look't upon me with an evil Eye run into the House, and complained that the Bishops were let Loose, which it seems was not well taken by the House of Commons, who presently sent a kind of an expostulation to the Lords, that they had dismissed so heinous Offenders without their knowledge and consent; Scarce had I restend in my Lodging, when there comes a Messenger to me with the sad news of sending me and nearest of my Brethren the Bishops back to the Tower again; from whence we came, thither we must go, and thither I went, with an heavy( but I thank God not impatient) Heart. After we had continued there some six weeks longer, and earnestly Petitioned to return to our several Charges we were upon 5000 l. Bond dismissed, with a Clause of Revocation at a short warning, if occasion should be required. Thus having spent the Time betwixt New years Even and Whitsuntide in those safe Walls, where we by turns preached every Lords Day to a large Auditory of Citizens, we disposed of ourselves to the places of our several abode.  
For myself, addressing myself to Norwich, whether it was his Majesties Pleasure to remove me, I was at the first received with more respect, than in such times I could have expected; there I preached the day after my Arrival to a numerous and attentive People: neither was sparing of my pains in this kind ever since, till the Times growing every day more impatient of a Bishop, threatened my silencing. There though with some secret Murmurs of disaffected Persons, I enjoyed peace till the Ordinance of Sequestration came forth, which was in the latter end of March following, then when I was in hopes of receiving the profits of the foregoing half Year, for the maintenance of my Family, were all my Rents stopped and diverted, and in April following came the Sequestrators, viz. Mr. Sotherton, Mr. Tooly, Mr. Rowly, Mr. Greenwood, &c. to the palace, and  told me that by virtue of an Ordinance of Parliament they must seize upon the Palace, and all the Estate I had, both Real and Personal, and accordingly sent certain Men appointed by them( whereof one had been burnt of the Hand for the Mark of his Truth,) to appraise all the Goods that were in the House, which they accordingly executed with all diligent severity, not leaving so much as a dozen of Trenchers, or my Childrens Pictures out of their curious Inventory. Yea, they would have appraised our very wearing clothes, had not Alderman Tooly, and Sheriff raleigh( to whom I sent to require their judgement concerning the Ordinance in this point) declared their opinion to the contrary. These Goods, both Library and household Stuff of all kinds, were appointed to be exposed to public Sale. Much inquiry there was when the Goods should be brought to the Market; but in the mean time Mrs. Goodwin, a Religious good Gentlewoman, whom yet we had never known or seen, being moved with compassion, very kindly offered to lay down to the Sequestrators that whole Sum which the Goods were valued at; And was pleased to leave them in our own Hands for our use, Till we might be able to repurchase them, which she did accordingly, and had the goods formally delivered to her by Mr. Smith, and Mr. Greenwood, two Sequestrators. As for the Books, several Stationers looked on them, but were not forward to buy them; at last Mr. Cook, a worthy Divine of this diocese, gave Bond to the Sequestrators, to pay to them the whole Sum whereat they were set, which was afterwards satisfied out of that poor Pittance, that was allowed me for my Maintenance; as for my Evidences they required them from me, I denied them, as not holding myself bound to deliver them: They nailed, and sealed up the Door, and took such as they found with me.  
But before this, the first noise that I heard of my Trouble was, that one Morning, before my servants were up, there came to my Gates one Wright, a London Trooper, attended with others, requiring entrance, threatening, if they were not admitted, to break open the Gates; whom I found at my first sight struggling with one of my Servants for a Pistol, which he had in his Hand; I demanded his Business at that unseasonable Time; he  told me, he came to search for Arms and Ammunition, of which I must be disarmed; I  told him I had only two Muskets in the House, and no other Military Provision; he not resting upon my word searched round about the House, looked into the Chests, and Trunks, examined the Vessels in the Cellar, finding no other Warlike Furniture, he asked me what Horses I had, for his Commission was to take them also; I  told him how poorly I was Stored, and that my Age would not allow me to travail on Foot; in conclusion he took one Horse for the present, and such account of another, that he did highly expostulate with me afterwards, that I had otherwise disposed of him.  
Now, not only my Rents present, but the arrearages of the former Years, which I had in Favour forborn to some Tenants, being treacherously confessed to the Sequestrators, were by them called for, and taken from me; neither was there any Course at all taken for my Maintenance; I therefore Addressed myself to the Committee sitting here at Norwich, and desired them to give Order for some Means, out of that large Patrimony of the Church, to be allowed me. They all thought it very just, and there being present Sir Tho. Woodhouse, and Sir John pots, Parliament men; it was moved, and held fit by them and the rest, that the Proportion which the Votes of the Parliament had pitched upon, Viz. 400 l. per Annum; should be allowed to me. My Lord of Manchester, who was then conceived to have great Power in matter of these Sequestrations, was moved herewith; He apprehended it very Just and Reasonable, and wrote to the Committee here to set out so many of the manors belonging to this bishopric as should amount to the said Sum of 400 l. Annually, which was answerably done under the Hands of the whole Table. And now I well hoped, I should yet have a good Competency of Maintenance out of that plentiful Estate which I might have had: But those Hopes were no sooner conceived then dashed; for before I could gather up one Quarters Rent, there comes down an Order from the Committee for Sequestrations above, under the hand of sergeant Wild the chairman, procured by Mr. Miles Corbet, to inhibit any such Allowance; and telling our Committee here, that neither They, nor any other had Power to allow me any thing at all: But if my Wife found her self to need a Maintenance, upon her svit to the Committee of Lords and Commons, it might be granted, that She might have a fifth Part, according to the Ordinance, allowed for the Sustentation of her Self, and her Family. Hereupon she sends a Petition to that Committee, which, after a long Delay, was admitted to be red, and an Order granted for the fifth Part: But still the Rents and Revenues, both of my Spiritual and Temporal Lands were taken up by the Sequestrators, both in Norfolk, and Suffolk, and Esvex, and we kept off from either Allowance or account. At last, upon much pressing, Beadle the Solicitor, and Rust the Collector, brought in an Account to the Committee, such as it was; but so Confused and Perplexed, and so utterly imperfect, that we could never come to know what a fifth Part meant: But they were content, that I should eat my Books, by setting off the Sum engaged for them out of the fifth Part. Mean time, the Synodals, both in Norfolk and Suffolk, and all the Spiritual Profits of the diocese, were also kept back, only Ordinations and Institutions continued a while. But after the Covenant was appointed to be taken, and was generally swallowed of both Clergy and Laity, my Power of Ordination was with some strange Violence restrained; For when I was going on in my wonted Course( which no Law or Ordinance had inhibited) certain forward volunteers in the City, banding together, stir up the Mayor, and Aldermen, and Sheriffs, to call me to an Account for an open Violation of their Covenant. To this purpose divers of them came to my Gates at a very unseasonable time, and knocking very vehemently, required to speak with the Bishop; Messages were sent to them, to know their Busienss, nothing would satisfy them but the Bishop's Presence, at last I came down to them, and demanded what the Matter was; they would have the Gate opened, and then they would tell me; I answered, that I would know them better first: If they had any thing to say to me, I was ready to hear them; they  told, me they had a writing to me from Mr. Mayor, and some other of their Magistrates; the Paper contained both a challenge of me for breaking the Covenant, in Ordaining Ministers; and withal required me to give in the Names of those which were Ordained by me, both then and formerly since the Covenant: My Answer was, that Mr. Mayor was much abused by those who misinformed him, and drawn that Paper from him; that I would the next Day give a full Answer to the writing, they moved that my Answer might be by my Personal Appearance at the Guild-hall; I asked them when they ever heard of a Bishop of Norwich appearing before a Mayor, I knew mine own Place, and I would take that way of answer which I thought fit, and so dismissed them, who had given out that Day, that had they known before of mine ordaining, they would have pulled me and those whom I ordained out of the chapel by the Ears. Whilst I received nothing, yet something was required of me; they were not ashamed after they had taken away, and sold all my Goods and personal Estate, to come to me for assessments, and monthly Payments for that Estate which they had taken, and took Distresses from me upon my most just Denial, and vehemently required me to find the wonted Arms of my Predecessors, when they had left me nothing: Many insolences and affronts were in all this time put upon us. One while a whole Rabble of volunteers came to my Gates late, when they were locked up, and called for the Porter to give them Entrance, which being not yielded, they threatened to make Way by Force, and had not the said Gates been very Strong they had done it: Others of them clambred over the Walls, and would come into mine House, their Errand( they said) was to search for Delinquents, what they would have done I know not, Had not we by a secret way sent to raise the Officers for our Rescue: Another while the Sheriff Toftes, and Alderman Linsey, attended with many Zealous followers, came into my chapel to look for Superstitious Pictures, and relics of Idolatry, and sent for me, to let me know they found those Windows full of Images, which were very offensive, and must be Demolished: I  told them they were the Pictures of some ancient and worthy Bishops, as St. Ambrose, Austin, &c. It was answered me, that they were so many Popes; and one younger Man amongst the rest( Townsend as I perceived afterwards) would take upon him to defend that every Diocesan Bishop was Pope, I answered him with some scorn, and obtained leave, that I might with the least loss, and defacing of the Windows give order for caking off that Offence, which I did, by causing the Heads of those Pictures to be taken off, since I knew the Bodies could not offend. There was not that Care and Moderation used in reforming the Cathedral Church bordering upon my Palace. It is no other than Tragical to relate the Carriage of that furious Sacrilidge, whereof our Eyes and Ears were the sad Witnesses, under the Authority and Presence of Linsey, Tofts, the Sheriff, and Greenwood; Lord, what work was here, what clattering of Glasses, what beating down of Walls, what tearing up of Monuments, what pulling down of Seats, what wresting out of Irons and Brass from the Windows and Graves! what defacing of Arms, what demolishing of curious Stone-work, that had not any representation in the World, but only the cost of the Founder, and Skill of the Mason, what tooting and piping upon the destroyed Organ Pipes, and what a hideous triumph on the Market-Day before all the Country, when in a kind of Sacrilegious and profane Procession, all the Organ Pipes, Vestments, both Copes and Surplices, together with the Leaden-Cross, which had been newly sawn down from over the Green-Yard Pulpit, and the Service Books, and Singing Books that could be had, were carried to the Fire in the public Market-place; A lewd Wretch walking before the Train, in his Cope trailing in the Dirt, with a Service Book in his Hand, imitating in an impious Scorn the Tune, and usurping the words of the Litany used formerly in the Church: Near the public across, all these Monuments of Idolatry must be Sacrificed to the Fire, not without much Ostentation of a zealous Joy, in discharging Ordnance to the cost of some who professed how much they had longed to see that Day. Neither was it any News upon this Guild-day to have the Cathedral now open on all sides to be filled with musketeers, waiting for the Major's return, drinking and tobaccouring, as freely as if it had turned Alehouse. Still yet I remained in my Palace, tho with but a poor Retinue and Means; but the House was held too good for Me: Many Messages were sent by Mr. Corbet to remove me thence; The first Pretence was, that the Committee, who now was at charge for an House to sit in, might make their daily Session there, being a place both more public, roomy and chargeless. The Committee, after many Consultations, resolved it convenient to remove thither, tho many Overtures and Offers were made to the contrary. Mr. Corbet was impatient of my stay there, and procures and sends peremptory Messages for my present dislodging; we desired to have some time allowed for providing some othep Mansion, if we must needs be cast out of this, which my Wife was so willing to hold,( if the charge of the present Committee-house were the Things stood upon) she would be content to defray the Sum of the Rent of that House out of her fifth part; but that might not be yielded; Out we must, and that in three Weeks warning by Midsummer-day then approaching, so as we might have lain in the Street for ought I know, had not the Providence of God so ordered it, that a Neighbour in the Close, one Mr. Goslin, a Widower, was content to voided his House for us.  
This hath been my Measure, wherefore I know not, Lord, thou knowest, who only canst remedy, and end, and forgive or avenge this horrible Oppression.

A Taste of the rude Behaviour of the Sectaries, towards some of the Episcopal Clergy.  
GRiffith Williams, Bishop of Ossory in Ireland, was Barbarously used in the Time of the Rebellion, being fetched away from his House at Apethorpe in Northampton-shire by a Troop of Soldiers( for writing his Vindiciae Regum) and carried Prisoner to Northampton; where the Committee, before which he was summoned, had the said Book in their Hands. After this he retired to Oxford, when the Soldiers from Northampton went and plundered his House, and all his household-stuff at Apethorpe, where his Wife and Children then resided, and sequestered his Lands for the Use of the Parliament. Upon the declining of the King's Cause, he was brought very low; and tho he had Offers made him of very considerable Preferment, if he would but have submitted to the Parliament, yet he utterly refused them. Soon after he retired into Wales, where, for twelve Years together he had not 20 l. per Annum in all the World, to maintain himself and his Servants, and was forced to live on a little Tenement of 2 l. 10 s. a Year, and 4 l. Land of his own; so that he lived worse than a poor Curate, with Oaten-Bread, Barley-Bread, Butter-Milk, and sometimes Water; being not able to keep one drop of Ale or Beer during Ten Years together. He went also attired in very mean clothes, and was forced to do many servile Works himself, about his House, Garden, and Cattle.  
He survived all his Troubles, and was restored to all his Preferments at his Restoration.  
Thomas Howel, Bishop of Bristol, met with barbarous Usage from the Hands of the Rebels; His Palace, which was then covered with led, they uncas'd, and sold the led; so that he was exposed to the Weather Day and Night. His Lady they knew to be then in Childbed, in which Condition it rained freely upon her. After many other Indignities, they pulled and hawll'd him violently out of the Palace, of which they made a Malt-House, and a Mill; for there they Ground as well as made great quanties of Malt many Years, as many yet living in Bristol well remember. In a Word, their Usage towards him was such, that he did not long survive their Cruelty; but died soon after, being a Person of a mildred and tender Disposition.  
William Laud, Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, The blessed Martyr, He was reviled, calunniated, imprisoned in the Tower four Years, put under Sequestration, both for his Temporals and Spirituals, most unjustly accused, and contrary to all Law, at last sentenced even to the Halter: But on his repeaetd Petitions( at first rejected) he had the Favour of the Ax granted him by his Bloody Murderers. He witnessed with his Blood to the Truth of the Church's and His Majesty's Cause, on Tower-Hill, Jan 10th 1644-5.  
Thomas Morton, Bishop of Durham, when the Rebellion broken out, was an early Sufferer under it; and in the Year 1640, there was an Order of Parliament for seizing his Rents. Being one of the Protesting Bishops, he was committed to the Black-Rod, where he continued four Months, and was taken into Custody for Baptizing a Child of the Earl of Rutland's, according to the Order of the Church of England, &c. He was turned out of Durham-House by the Soldiers, when they came to make a Garrison of it; and in one of the Tumults in London, was in danger of his Life from the Rabble; who cried out, Pull him out of the Coach; and whilst others cried, No, he is a good Man; they answered, 'tis no matter for that, he is a Bishop. And himself afterwards said, he verily believed he should not have escaped alive, had not a leading Man among them, cried out, Let him go and hang himself.  
Matthew Wren, Bishop of Ely, was one of the most early Sufferers of all the Clergy, and the very first Bishop that was deprived by the Rebel Parliament. Upon a Petition of the Inhabitants of Ipswich, a Committee of Parliament was ordered to draw up a Charge against him; and July 5th 1641, He was Voted unworthy to hold any Spiritual Promotion; Being one of the Protesting Bishops, he was imprisoned with the rest, till May 5th, they were all released on Bail, by the House of Lords, afterwards retiring to his House at Downham, he was soon Apprehended by a Party of Soldiers, and brought back again to the Tower, where he continued to the end of the Year, 1659, without any Charge or Accusation formed against him. His Plate was seized by the House of Commons, and ordered to be melted down for the Use of the Common-wealth. His Goods were plundered, his Estate seized, and he was so miserable persecuted and oppres'd, that in the Year 1660, when his Son Thomas was created M. D. at Oxford, the Chancellor's Letter for that Purpose, acquaints the Convocation, That the Pressures under which his Father lay for Seventeen Years together, were such, that he could not( his Estate being taken away) allow his Children Bread, &c He survived all his Troubles, and was restored( with His Majesty) to his bishopric.  
George cook, Bishop of Hereford, during the Rebellion, suffered in common with the rest; was one of the Protesting Bishops, and accordingly imprisoned on that Account: When Colonel Birch took the City of Hereford in 1645, he rifled the good Bishop's Palace, and afterwards took up his Habitation there till the Restauration. The Bishop had likewise a Temporal Estate in the Parish of Eardsley, called Quistmore; which the Committee of Herreford laid their Paws upon. By this, and such other Methods, he was reduced so low, that tho he was otherwise a very thrifty Man; yet he had wanted, had not his Relations supported him. This hard Usage hastened his Death, in 1646, He bore his Sufferings with admirable Calmness and Serenity; and had the Character of a Pious and Learned Man.  
Morgan own, Bishop of Landaffe, was likewise one of the Protesting Bishops, and was accordingly imprisoned in the Tower, and impeached of High Treason. He continued there about four Months, and afterwards retired into his own Country, where his Palace at Mathern near Chepstow was seized by one Green of cardiff, together with all his Revenues. One Reese, John David, the Agent and Sequestrator,( who lived in the Parsonage House, managed the Glebe, and received the tithe) removed a very fine Font of ston out of the Church of Bedwas; and when himself and his Man could not break it to pieces, he caused it to be brought under the Yew-Tree, where it was used as a through to water his Horses and Cattle in.  
Robert Wright, Bishop of Lichfield, was one of the Twelve Protesting Bishops, and spoken a very handsome Speech on that Occasion, at the Bar of the House of Commons; but all in Vain. For he was, notwithstanding, sent to the Tower, where he continued 18 Weeks a Prisoner at his great Charge. He is said to have devoted half his Estate to his Majesty's Service; and that he was one of the strictest Bishops that ever sate in the See; that he was a Man of Painfulness, Integrity and Moderation; that likewise his virtues were such, that the Vices only, and not the Men of the Times were his Enemies.  
Robert Skinner, Bishop of Oxford, was one of the Twelve Bishops that made the Protestation, for which he was imprisoned in the Tower eighteen Weeks, to his great Charge. His other Sufferings from the Faction, we have no Particulars of.  
John Towers, Bishop of Peterborough, was likewise one of the Protesting Bishops, for which he underwent the same Usage with the former; but after some time, obtaining his Liberty, he betook himself to His Majesty at Oxford, where he continued till the Surrender of that Place, and then returned again to Peterborough, but found his Revenues all seized upon: Nor was that thought enough, for he was more-over continually alarmed with threatenings and Molestations, to the time of his Death. January, 10th, 1648.  
John Warner, Bishop of Rochester, When the Seeds of Rebellion and Anarchy began to Reign, in 1641, He shew'd himself a most Zealous Asserter of Episcopacy in the House of Lords, speaking for the Function as long as he had any Voice left, and very pertinently and valiantly defended the Antiquity and Justice of Bishops Votes in the House of Parliament. Afterwards, he did not only Suffer with his Brethren, by having the Lands of his See taken away; but by compounding for his Temporal Estate, which was considerable. However, by thus parting with some of his Estate to save the rest, he was enabled to assist his suffering Brethren; and was accordingly a great Support to the sequestered Clergy, and their Families, as well as to other indigent Persons, often using this homely Expression, That he did eat the crag End of the Neck of Mutton himself, that he might leave the Poor the Shoulders. He outlived his, as well as the Kingdoms Troubles; and died in the 86th Year of his Age.  
William peers, Bishop of wells, was one of the Protesting Bishops; as likewise of the Number of those who were singled out from among the rest of the Clergy for the utmost Persecution; in order to increase the Clamour of the People, by rendering them Monstrous and Odious, as well as to wreak their Malice and Sleep upon them. And accordingly this Reverend Prelate felt the Effects of it as early, and to as great a Degree as any of them; being continually for some time harassed and perplexed by the House; was one of those who were imprisoned for that most just and necessary Remonstrance: And the High Crimes which he was accused of, were no other than, Suppressing Factious Lecturers, ordering the Communion Tables in the Churches, of his own diocese, to be railed in; and things of this Nature.  
John Prideaux, Bishop of Worcester, was promoted to this See in 1641, but the Troubles were at that time so far advanced, that he received little or no Profit from it, to his great Impoverishment: For adhering steadfastly to His Majesty's Cause, and pronouncing all those of his diocese, who took up Arms against him, Excommunicate; it is no Wonder that he not only suffered in common with the rest, but even beyond most of his Order; Being plundered, and reduced to such great Streights, that he was forced to sell his Excellent Library to subsist himself and his Family: Of which there goes this memorable Story. That towards the latter end of his Life, a Friend coming to see him, and saluting him in the common form of, How does your Lordship do? Never better in my Life, said he, only I have too great a Stomach; for I have eaten that little Plate which the Sequestrators left me, I have eaten a great Library of Excellent Books, I have eaten a great deal of linen, much of my Brass, some of my Pewter, and now I am come to eat Iron; and what will come next I know not. He died in 1650, leaving his Children no Legacy, but Pious Poverty, God's Blessing, and a Father's Prayers, as it appears by his last Will and Testament.  
Roger Manwaring, Bishop of St. Davids, was first called in Question by the Parliament for two Sermons preached before King Charles I.( which he afterwards published under the Title of Religion and Loyalty) being charged with endeavouring to destroy the King and Kingdom by his Divinity, and censured to be imprisoned; was fined 1000 l. and ordered to make his Submission, and was disabled to have or enjoy any Preferment or Office. Notwithstanding which, the King soon after pardoned and advanced him; But the Party were not forgetful of him; and in 1640, his Troubles were revived in Parliament; and the old Grudge still lay at the bottom of the Persecution, yet the New Crimes of Popish Invasions, Conversing with Papists, and being Sociable and Jovial, were Trumpt up against him. Upon which he was Apprehended suddenly, confined severely, fined heavily, plundered violently, and persecuted from Place to Place continually; insomuch, that for the two last Years of his Life, not a Week passed over his Head, without a Message or an Injury; which he desired God not to remember against his Adversaries, and adjured all his Friends to forget. Under these his Troubles, he had nothing but a small Temporal Estate left to Support him, and died at Caermarthen, after he had endured many Miseries, July 16, 1653.  
Thomas Westfeild, Bishop of Bristol, accepted of this bishopric in the worst of Times, as hoping to do some Service to the Church, tho he had refused the Offer of it, which was made him Twenty Years before. In the beginning of the Rebellion, he was abused in the Streets, sequestered from St. Bartholomews, and forced to fly. He was a Sufferer for his own and His Majesty's Cause, the Profits of his bishopric being unjustly detained from him, tho afterwards by a Committee of the Rebel Parliament, ordered to be restored; and when he came to make his Will, it ran thus: As for my worldly Goods,( which as the Times now are) I know well not where they be; I give and bequeath, &c.  
James Usher, The Celebrated Archbishop of Armagh, upon the breaking out of the Irish Rebellion, fled into England, where, in Consideration of his great Losses in Ireland, he had the bishopric of Carlisle conferred upon him, making a shift to subsist upon that little he could get, until the Rebellion grew prevalent; at which time the Houses of Parliament having seized upon the Bishops Lands, their Agent( or those who took upon them to be so) collected all the Arrears and growing Rents of the bishopric for their own use. The Chief of those who were employed, was one Barker; who destroyed the Woods, pillaged the Castle of Rose( the Bishop's Residence) and carried off many of the Stones to build his own House and Barns. And as he suffered in his Revenues, so he did in Person likewise; for being sought after in London, he was forced to fly from Place to Place; and whilst in Wales, he was plundered of his chiefest Books and Manuscripts He was delivered out of these and all his other Troubles at Rygate in Surrey, and was butted at Westminster, as 'tis generally thought, at the Charges of the Protector; who did, indeed, Order 200 l out of the Deodands for that purpose; but it was never paid.  
George cook, first promoted to the bishopric of Bristol; and then of Hereford. During the Rebellion, he suffered in common with the rest of his Order; and was one of the Protesting Bishops, and accordingly imprisoned on that Account. When Colonel Birch took the City of Hereford, in 1645, he rifled this good Bishop's Palace, and afterwards took up his Habitation there till the Restoration; and what is more, had great part of the Revenues of the bishopric to his own Use; and to this Day the Mannour of Whitbourn, by the sorry Compliance of some who might have prevented it, continues in his Family. By this and such other Methods, he was reduced so low, that tho he was otherwise a very thirfty Man; yet he had wanted, had not his Relations supported him. This hard usage hastened his Death, 1646, tho he bore his Sufferings with admirable Calmness and Serenity; leaving the Character behind him of a Pious and Learned Man.  
Accepted Frewen, First advanced to the bishopric of Lichfield, by K. Ch. 1st. and afterwards to the archbishopric of York, at the Restoration. He was a great Loyalist, being concerned in sending the Plate from Oxford to his Majesty, whilst he was President of Magdalen College; and was forced afterwards to Fly for it, to avoid being taken into Custody. His Temporal also, as well as his bishopric, was put under Sequestration.  
Walter curl, Bishop of Winchester; when the Rebellion prevailed, he became a great Sufferer for Monarchy and Episcopacy; was in the City of Winchester, when it was besieged by the Parliament Forces; and upon the Surrender of that Place, retired to Subberton in Hampshire, where he Died in 1647. He had a Temporal Estate which was also put under Sequestration; nor was he allowed to compound for it, because he would not take the Covenant. He was a Man of very great Charity to the Poor, and expended large Sums in the Repairs of Churches.  
John Williams, Arch-Bishop of York; was promoted to this See, in 1641. From that of Lincoln; and was at the Head of the Protesting Bishops soon after; for which he was Eighteen Weeks imprisoned in the Tower, and afterwards suffered much for his Majesty's Cause. He was once Assaulted, and had his Robes torn from his Back, He was also plundered, as I find by an Order of the House of Commons, dated Feb. 18. 1643/ 4;, which commanded his Plate to be melted Down, for the Use of the Commonwealth.   

A Specimen of the Moderation of the Sectaries, towards some worthy Persons, who were advanced to the Episcopal Dignity, after the RESTORATION.  
RObert Sanderson, June the 14th. 1648. Was by the Committee for the Reformation of the University of Oxford, Voted out of his Canonry of Christ Church, and the Professorship, having been Summoned before that Committee the 22d. of Nov. before-going. After that Time one across was substituted in his Professorship, as Henry Cornish was afterwards in his Canonry. After which he retired to his Living of Boostby, which had been put under Sequestration in 1644. and so continued at that Time; at this Place he met with a great deal of Ill Usage: Among other abuses which were put upon him, The Soldiers often tore his Common Prayer-Book to pieces, &c. and at length seized and carried him Prisoner to Lincoln, in order to get the furious and zealous Covenanting Minister of Allington exchanged for him. Notwithstanding which, Dr. Sanderson could not live Safe or quietly there: For tho, by that Agreement, he got the Sequestration of his Living taken off, yet he was several times afterwards plundered; and once Wounded in no less than three Places: He had at that time a Wife and Children, was reduced to great Poverty; and in 1658, was in a very pitiful Condition: But surviving the Restoration, he was restored to his Dignities, and worthily created Bishop of Lincoln.  
Peter Gunning, Promoted to the bishopric, first of Gloucester, then of Ely, by King Charles II. Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion, he was Zealous in the Cause of His Majesty and the Church; and always opposed the Faction to the very utmost of his Power; for which he became, in a particular manner, the Object of their Fury: And whilst he was with his Mother( lately then become a Widow) in Kent, he was hunted about, and forced to lie in Woods; and at length was imprisoned, for having assisted some Forces belonging to the King at Tunbridge, with the Charity he had moved a Neighbouring Congregation to, by two Sermons. A while after he became Curate of the little Vicarage of Cassington, near Oxford; at which Place, for about the space of two Years, he endured several Affronts and Abuses by the Parliamentarian Soldiers from Abingdon, and elsewhere; either by interrupting him with base Language, or by pulling him out of the Church.  
Richard stern, Promoted first to the See of Carlisle, and then to the archbishopric of Canterbury, after the Restoration. Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion, he was very Active in sending the Cambridge Plate to His Majesty; for which, he, with two other worthy Loyalists, was by cronwell( who had with some Parties of Soldiers surrounded the several chapels, whilst the Scholars were at Prayers) seized and carried in Triumph to London; and tho there was an express Order from the Lord's House, for their Imprisonment in the Tower, which met them at Tottenham High-Cross( wherein, notwithstanding there was no Crime expressed) yet they were lead Captive thro Bartholomew Fair, and so as far as Temple-Bar, and back thro' the City to Prison in the Tower, on purpose that they might be hooted at, or stoned by the Rabble-Rout. After which, for three Years together, they were hurried up and down from one Prison to another, at excessive and unreasonable Charges; and Fees exacted from them, far beyond their Abilities to defray; having all their Goods plundered, and their Masterships and Livings taken from them, which should preserve them from Famishing. And tho in all things Time there was never any Accusation brought, much less proved against any of them, yet did they Suffer intolerable Imprisonment both by Land and Water; especially that in the Ship; where, for ten Days together( they, with many other Gentlemen of great Rank) were kept under Deck, without Liberty to come to breath in the common Air, or to ease Nature, except at the courtesy of the rude Sailors, which oftentimes was denied them: In which Condition, they were more like galley Slaves than Freeborn Subjects, and Men of such Quality and Condition; and had been so indeed, might some have had their Wills, who were bargaining with the Merchants to sell them to Algiers, or as bad a Place, as has since been notoriously known, upon no false or fraudulent Information. After this, Dr. stern was removed from the Ship, but still kept under Confinement in some other Prison; only had the Favour of attending the Blessed martyred Arch-Bishop on the Scaffold on Tower Hill. At length, having lost all he had, and suffered to the last Degree for his Loyalty, he was permitted to have his Liberty, and survived his Troubles.  
Guy Carleton, advanced first to the bishopric of Bristol, 1671, and thence translated to that of Chichister, 1678, Upon the breaking out of the Rebllion, he faithfully adhered to his Majesty's Interest, and was not a little Serviseable to him. He was first of all forced from his Rich Living in the North, and was afterwards driven from that of Bucklesbury by the Triers: After which, he was likewise seized and imprisoned in Lambeth House, where his Wife secretly conveyed a Cord to him, by the help of which he let himself down thro' a Window towards the Thames; but being forced to drop from it, not being long enough, he dislocated one of his Bones; when a Boat being provided for him, he was soon carried off, and conce lest during the Cure; which his poor Wife was obliged to sell her Bed to pay for. He return'd from beyond the Seas with his Majesty; and was worthily promoted as aforesaid; and died in 1685.  
Anthony Sparrow, first made Bishop of Exeter, and from thence translated to Norwich. About the Year 1648, or 1649, he obtained the Living of Haukdon in Sussex, but the Religious Committee at Westminster, suffered him not to enjoy it above five Weeks. He was also obliged to fly and conceal himself. He had at that Time, or soon after, six Children; but was not able to obtain any Fifths to Support them, from the Intruder. Under these Calamitous Circumstances he continued about Eleven Years, when the Restoration of his Majesty dispelled the darksome Clouds which had hovered over him for so long a Time.  
John cousin, advanced to the bishopric of Durham by King Charles II. was in the Year 1640, preferred to the deanery of that Place, but never was suffered to enjoy it; his Troubles taking their Rise with his Advancement: Being soon after the meeting of the Rebel Parliament, resolved unfit to hold any Ecclesiastical Preferment, and one of the Number of those worthy Clergymen whom the Party had singled out for Destruction He was sent for by the House as a Delinquent, Novemb. 21, 1644, and was the first of all the Clergy that we find sequestered; which was effected by a Vote of the whole House, Jan. 22, 1640-1, under which he lay near Twenty Years, and about Seventeen under an actual Dispossession of all his Places, and Banishment also; being forced so early to fly into France, and having been plundered of all that he had, before he went thither; where he continued Steadfast and immovable in the Profession of the Protestant Persuasion, notwithstanding the vile and wicked Calamnies and clamours of the Faction against him, his being inhumanly divested of so many very considerable Preferments, Stripped and plundered of all the movables he had, and at last driven like a Vagabond into Foreign Parts for being a Papist.  
Brian Duppa, advanced to the Bishopick of Winchester at the Restoration. Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion he suffered in common with the Rest of his Order; and being Stripped of those large Revenues which he was at that Time possessed of, He retired first to the King at Oxford, and afterwards continued to attend him in the Isle of Wight, &c. until the Time of his most Execrable Murder; after which he retired to Richmond in Surrey, where he spent most of his Time in great Devotion and Solitude until the Year 1660. when he was deservedly Promoted as aforesaid.  
Gilbert Sheldon, worthily created Arch-Bishop of Canterbury at the Restoration; during the time of the Rebellion, he adhered steadfastly to his Majesty's Cause, and when the Oxford Visitation came on, strenuously opposed it. March 27, 1648, He honestly, and boldly  told the Visitors, That he could not, with a safe Conscience, Submit to them: For which, three Days after, they deprived him of his Warden-ship; broken open the Lodging Doors, to make way for the Intruder; and then hurried away the Doctor to Prison, who, as he passed the Streets, had a Thousand Prayers and Blessings from the People. In his Confinement, he continued above six Months; and then the reforming Committe set him at Liberty, on Condition that he should immediately depart five Miles from Oxford: That he should not go to the King in the Isle of Wight; and that he should give Security to Appear before them, at four Days Warning whenever Cited. After which he retired, and spent his Time in Offices of Humanity, and followed his Studies and Devotion till the Restoration.  
George Morley, first advanced to the bishopric of Worcester, and thence to Winchester at the Restoration. In the beginning of the Wars, he was nominated one of the Assembly of Divines, but never honoured 'em with his Presence; and steadfastly adhered to the Interest of his Sovereign, during the time of the Rebellion. He scorned to stay at the University of Oxford, tho invited to it by the Reformers; and accordingly, was Voted out of his Canonry of Christ Church; and soon after, was, with other Loyal Subjects, actually dispossessed by Force and Violence; he was likewise deprived of all his other Preferments. March 17, 1647, He was threatened to be taken into Custody for not obeying the orders of the Reforming Committee, and for that, or some other Reason, was actually imprisoned. He was after that sent for by his Majesty to to assist in the Isle of Wight Treaty; and attended the Gallant Lord Capel, before his Execution; at length observing matters growing more desperate, he crossd the Seas, and followed the Fortunes of the young King, and constantly waited on him at the Hague, until his Majesty went for Scotland. In a word, he passed away the Time of his Exile with great Satisfaction, and continually exercising that gloomy Period in Visiting the Sick, burying the Dead, relieving the distressed Loyalists, and other Offices of Piety and Devotion till the Happy Restoration; when he was worthily promoted as aforesaid.  
John Dolben, first created Bishop of Rochester, and then Arch-bishop of York at the Restoration. Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion, he took up Arms for his Majesty; was an Ensign at the Siege of Marston Moor; was at the Siege of York, where he received a dangerous Wound; and at length became a mayor in the Service of his Majesty. After the Surrender at Oxford, he resumed the Gown, became M. A. but was ejected form his Studentship by the Visitors the following Year. After which, he passed over the remainder of the Usurpation at a Private House in Oxon, and in Conjunction with Mr. John Fell, kept up the Orders and Ceremonies of the Church of England, till the Restoration, being then deservedly advanced as above.  
John Fell, Created Bishop of Oxford by King Charles II. In 1643, he bore Arms in the Garrison of Oxford, and was afterwards an Ensign. In 1646, the Visitors dispossessed him of his Student's Place; after which he lived retiredly in Oxford, where, with Mr. Dolben( just mentioned) he past the remainder of those Rebellious Times in Exercises of Piety and Devotion, till the Restoration rendered him more Conspicuous, becoming at that Time a Burning and Shining Light to his Generation.
