The Author's own Manufcript^preferv- ed by his Grandfon Sir John Dutton, can hardly be reckoned a different one from thaty which was tranfcribedWord for Word from it. But there is another Manufcript of this Life^ all written like- wife in the Author's own Hand^ given by him in his Life time to Dr. Wood- ward, now Profeffor of Grefham Col- lege, The P,R E F;A CE. lege^ andforfome Time with the Author^ s Approbation at leaft^ repofited alfo m a^ nother eminent Ltbrary^thatofSt. Marr- tin'5 m the Ftelds'^ which varying confide- rah^ from the jormer^ and that tnfome Particulars^ that at firfi View feemed to he rather Amendments of thaty than to have been amended by it^ better Judg- es than I were for fome time mchnedto think that Manufcript the correBer of the two ; as difficult as it was to account for the Author's making any confiderable Alterations in a Work^ repofited with fuch Care and Charge for the publick Benefit, and not ordering thofe Altera- tions to be made in the Copy, for which he had fijewn fo much Regard. This determined me rather to tranfcribe the St. Martin':^ Manufcript for the Prefs, but with a Purpofe to add from that of St. ]o\in's, whatever Particulars of any Importance were not in the other y as I held obferved there were fome.

Their eldeft Son Nicholas, '^vA his Brother William^ were bred up to Husbandry; an Art of great Advan- tage to the Publick, and of old defervedly reckoned among thofe that were called Li- beral Thefe two (as was but meet) at their Father's Death had each of them left him a feveral Farm, which they had each of them managed for him during his Life : Nicholas that of the Family, which defcend- cd to him by right of Inheritance 5 and Wtlliamy one of not much lefs Value, pur- chafed by his Father; and this, as fome Re- ward for that Support, which the reft of their Brethren had received from their La- bours : And indeed they deferved a greater ; who, bcfides that Love to their Brothers, and Duty to their Parents, which they jliewed upon all Occafions, lived in perfeft ^Agreement with each other, and the reft of JD^^^^r BAR WICK. f of the Family ; for which, as well as for their great Piety, and exemplary Probity and Goodnefs, they were famous through all that Neighbourhood. The youngeft Brother Edward having obtained a Competency of School-Learning, was fent up to London^ and put Apprentice to a Herald-Painter 5 in which Bufinefs he ufed fo much Induftry and. Application, and fearched with fuch Dili- gence into the Antiquities of Families, and Knowledge of their feveral Arms, that he excelled moftin that Art. But their Parents chief Concern was, that the two other Bro- thers, John and Teter % fhould be bred Scholars, firft in the Grammar Schools of that Neighbourhood, and then at St. John'^ College in Cambridge. It muft be owned, that while they were kept at obfcuremeaa Schools, what thro' the Neglect or the Ig- norance of their Mailers, they were not a little retarded in the Progrefs of Learning. y for having founded eight Scholar- fliins and two Fellowfhips, his Scholars were to be chofen from Sedbsrg School to St. y-chn'% College in Cambridge, as they are from Eton to King's i and in like manner his Scholars into his Fellowfhips, if vacant. " He was of St. John's College in Cambridge, mentioned in the Regifter of that Univerfity to have taken both his Degrees of that College, that of Bachelor of Arrs Anno 161S-9, and that of Mafter of Arts Anno 1611; but having never been Fel- low, was probably chofen Mafter of Sedberg School for his Worth, the Mafterfliip being in the Choice of the Mafter and Seniors of that College, and ufualiy fill'd with one of their o vn Fellows. ^ It may be his Family was very large j for as the Endow- ments of that School were always confiderable, fo they are at jrefent better than a hundred Pounds a Year, belides Advantages from Scholars, he DoElor BARWICK. 7 he could afford them, he taught thern La- tin very well, Greek indifferently : He was a very pleafant facetious Man, and by his merry Comments rendered fo very agreeable what ufes to give moft Uneafinefs in Learn- ing, that his Scholars became fond of their Books, though never fo hard. They were wonderfully delighted, when he undertook to explain any of t\\QT)ramatick Poets, par- ticularly Tlr^/^r^ or Tlatitus i for whatfoever in them feemed difficult to the weaker Capacity of the Boys, he expounded with fo much Wit and Merriment, that all who had the leaf! Ingenuity were extreamly in Love WMth that fort of Learning. In or- der alfo more throughly and clearly to ex- plain the Meaning of thofe Poets, whether Comedians or Tragedians, he ufed to teach fuch of his Scholars as he found fit for ir, to tread the Stage now and then for their Di- verfion, and aO: the feveral Parts of thofe Plays ; without which kind of Knowledge he knew he might fit them for the Lives of Monks or Hermits, but not to bear any Offices in the State, or perform the Duties of a Civil Life. Among fuch as wei^^ mofl skilful in acting Plays, he took greatell De- B 4 light t ne LIFE of light in John Barwicky and was mightily pleafed to fee him aQ: fo much to the Life the Part of Hercules raving in the Tragedy, as to gain the Applaufe of all the Spectators. This iTiewed that our .young Scholar had BOW laid afide childiTli%ports, and was fit to converfe with Men, before he left School ; for Hercules\ Buskins (as the] Proverb fays) are riot fit for Children. But he never fuf- fered thefe Diverfions to interrupt the fteady Courfe of Piety, to which he had been re- xnarkably accuftomed from his Childhood : tFor I remember, when at a Breaking up for Eafier- Holidays he came Home from School ( as is ufual at thofe great Fefl:ivais ) he fpent all Good-Friday at Church, in Devoti- on, fuitable to that folemn Occafion ; when every one elfe came Home after Morn- ing-Prayer, and went not to Church a- gain till Evening-Service : And it pleafed God to call him afterwards, on the fame An- niverfary Faft, to give a moft illuftriou$ Proof, how fincere and hearty his Zeal was for Religion^ as will be related here- after] And now at Jafl: being fit for the Uni- Verfity^ in the Year i6ji, he went to Cam^ bridge^ DoBor BAR WICK. p htdge ^ and was admitted s in St. JoMs College, under the Tuition of the Reve- rend Mr. Thomas ^ Fothergil^ who long furviv'dhis dear Pupil 3 and who not only inftrufted him in Learning and good Man- ners, but alfo fupported him in his Necefli- ties5 good Offices which his Pupil after- wards gratefully acknowledged, as will be mentioned more at large in its proper Place, Under the Care of this his mofl: loving Tu-* tor, John Barwkk fpared no Pains, nor de. ciined any Study, to render himfelf capable of fefving the Publick, which was his chief Aim. Nor yet was he fo wholly wedded to his Studies, but that at leifure Hours he would frequently recreate himfelf with bo* dily Exercifes, and thofe violent enough^' fuch as pitching the Bar, and playing at Football i at the latter of which having onca the ill Fortune to break the Collar-Bone of one of his Fellow Collegians, he was all his Life after fo heartily concerned for this Mif- chance, that though the Bone was well fet? ^ s On the fourteenth of May that Year, and at the Age of eighteen, as appears from the College Regifter. " Many Years Fellow of that College, a confiderable Tutor, ijind a ibber regulat Man, who maintained the College Difciplinc ^ the height. and 10 The LIFE of and foon perfeftly cured, yet he would ne- ver be prevailed upon to play ar Football more; fo far was he from the Inhumanity of thofe, who have no Senfe of ihe Mif- fortunes of others. Sometimes he would temper his feverer Studies with fofter Re- creations, particularly with Mufick, deferv- edly accounted one of the Liberal Arts^ and that which fweetens as well as adorns all the reft 5 yet no one had a greater Abhor- rence of that execrable Mufick, which mi- nifters toLewdnefs and Intemperance. That in which he delighted was chaft, fevere, fober, holy ; and the Ufe he made of it, was to bear his Part in finging forth God's Praifes in the publick Choir, with a Sweet- nefs of Melody equal to that Fervency of Devotion, wherewith he daily celebrated them in his Clofet. To this Study, which adds fo much Life and Ornament to Divine Worfliip, he was always, by his Example as well as Advice, endeavouring to perfuade fuch of his Fellow Collegians of the younger fort, as their Voices, their Age, and their Genius rendered capable thereof: Nor did he repent to have ftudied himfelf, what he found fo ufeful for the Management of a Choir, when he was afterwards promoted to the Government of a Cathedral. He DoEior BARWICK. ii He was hardly made Bachelor of Arts, before he was thought fit to be entrufted with the Management of fome Affairs of the College of no little Importance; for King Charles the Firft, always moft ftudi- ous of preferving Peace and Concord among his Subjefts, having heard, that there was like to be a fatal Conteft in that College, concerning the EleClion of a new Matter into the Place of Dr. Gwiriy then lately ^ de- ' viz. In June 1633. The Pari fh (^//-5' were not enough infefted with this Conta- gion, they employed all their Endeavours to intoxicate them yet farther: TheFaftion had at that Time (as from the beginning of the Reformation they had always had) fome learned and good Men too much addiOied to them, even among thofe that bore Of- fice in the Univerfities , of whofe Credit and Reputation at leaft, if not alfo of their Af- fiftance, Do&or BARWICK. i; fiftance, they made too much Ufe, with o- dious Titles to blacken, and expofe to the Malice of the ignorant Populace, all fuch as conftantly ferved God according to the Pri- mitive Way (who were always the greater, and in King Charles the Firft's Time, much the greateft Part of both Univerfities) repre- fenting them as Popiflily afFefted ; where- as they had the utmoft Averfion from all Innovations in Doftrine whatfoever. They themfelves in the mean Time (who laid fo heavy a Charge againft Men of the niceft Probity, that worfhipped God in the Pri- mitive Way) took Pains to impugn and re- fute the modern Doflirines of the Papifts, by fuch as were yet more modern, fetchM from Churches not well reformed. Mr. Barwick was not afliamed to take Part with thofe, who took Part with the Primitive Bi- fhopsand Catholick Fathers of the Church, tho* now rendered odious to the Dregs of the People; and together with fo many extraordi- nary Perfons, very famous for their Piety and Learning, ftrenuoufly to the utmoft of his Power to maintain the Peace, not only of the Englijhy but of the whole Catholick Church.

[It will not perhaps be foreign from my Purpofe^to mention here, that this worthy Gentleman Mr. Tope, when feiz'd with the Plague, and going foon to give an Account to God of his paft Life, felt moft fevere Re- niorfes of Confcience (as became a true Chriftian touch'd with a due Scnfe of his Sins) for all that he had committed againfl: God, and his moft excellent Prince, God s Vicegerent. And what very muchadded to the Difquiet of his Mind, labouring under the Lafhes of a wounded Confcience, was both that the fatal Diftemper with which he was infected, would not allow him Time, by fome heroick Attempt for the Service of his King and Country injured by him, to certify fufficiently to all the World, that he heartily repented of what he had com- mitted againft them ; and alfo that he judg- ed himfelf unworthy to receive any Confo- lation in this his Extremity from the Mini- ftry of that Church, which in her Extre- mity he had not only deferred bafely, but cruelly perfecuted.

Of fo much Moment and Importance it was (in the Opinion of this devout Perfon) to be abfolved from his Sins according to Chrift's Inftitution, and the Praftice of the Church of England^ and indeed of the whole Catholick Church : And his dear Friend Mr. Barwick was the Perfon, into whofe Bofom, preferably to all others, he defired to pour out his moft holy Complaints, if the Contagion of his peftilent Difeafe would permit. But no Danger was fo formidable to Mr. Barwick^ that he would not willingly incur it, either to defeat the Defigns of the Rebels, or to E 3 reconcile 54 the LIFE of reconcile their Minds to God and the King.

And indeed it was no very difficult Matter to employ for the Service of the King the Au- thority of fo great a Man, who had fuch an Intereft in the Rebels (himfelf no incon- fiderable Part of them) and that without his Knowledge. And this was done feveral Ways: For by the Affiftance of this Lord, Mr. Creffet obtained Paffports from the Par- liament Army, as it were Pledges of the publick Faith, for free Paffage to and fro> by vertue of which certain London Pedlars, moft faithful to the King, could freely trafl fick in all the Quarters of the Parliament Army, Now under the Pretext of this Commerce, Mr. Barwick procured a fafe Conveyance 6o Tht LIFE of Conveyance as far as to the King's Quar- ters, which joinM upon thofe of the Rebels, for not a few MefTages of great Import- ance, Aid in 'as it were by Stealth among the Pedlars Wares, and fometimes alfo for Money and Ammunition, furnifhed by cer- tain Citizens in his Majefty's Interefl:, to be conveyed thence to Oxford by fome of the King's Party, who waited in thofe Pla- ces to receive them.

For Mr. Barwick was particularly careful, that no one fhould pry into the King's Secrets intrufted to him, with more Curiofity than •was necelTary, or any Ways convenient 5 for by this Means due Care was taken, that no Man was ever much exposed on his Ac- count, and that his Majefty's Affairs did in no DoBor BARWICK: 6i no kind ever fuffer by the indifcreet Blab- bing of any one: Nor was it eafy to find out the meaning of Letters written in Cy- phers, with how much maHcious Zeal fo- ever any one fliould attempt it : Yet there was not wanting a certain ^ Perfon, too officfous at that Time to gratify the King's Enemies, who difcovered to them the great- eft Part of his Majefty's Letters taken at Nafeby Fight, though all written in Cha- rafters.

That Part alfo of the Fleet, which had lately returned to its Allegiance, was a- gain corrupted by the Earl of Warwick (who had formerly commanded it, as long, as Crom^-Ji'ell thought fit) that Earl's Chap- lain ^ abovementioned, once Mr. Bar^tcH!^ deareft Pupil, looking on all the while, •without muttering the leaft Word againft it ; not that it is to be imagined, that he approved of fo foul an Aftion ; but that he was willing it fhould be thought inconfifl- ent with the Duty of a Minifter of God's Word, to concern himfelf with what he called State Affairs.

The good King, when his AflFairs were again defperate, as he had before by Word of Mouth teftified his Senfe and Approba- tion of Mr. Barwick's Readinefs and Abili- ty, to ferve him, now by a Letter written in his own Hand, and fent to him by Mr. Crejfet^ gracioufly and of his own Accord condefcended to give a moft ample and ho- nourable Teftimony of the Service he had done him in his moft difficult and arduous Affairs ; as if what he and other Perfons of great Worth had heartily though unfuc. cefsfully endeavoured for his Ma jefty's Re- lief, when reduced to the greateft Diftrefs, this their moft gracious Prince was willing to look upon, not only as their Duty, but as a very great Obligation to him \ and would not permit, that if his Life Tnould happen to be taken away by the Malice and Vi- olence of his Enemies, his Auguft Family flioild either be unappriz^'d of the unfhaken Loyalty of fucli of them as fliould furvive H 4 this 104 T^e LIFE of this Storm, or hefitate to make ufe of their Advice and AfTiftance towards bringing a- bout a happy Reftoration, if at length it fliould pleafe God to favour it. But after this Shipvvrack, the King had one Plank left, alas! too dangerous to truft to: For when Cromwell thought it advifeable after the Scots were ^ put to flight, to march himfelf immediately into Scotland^ and fur- prize that Country, the more conveniently to prevent his Enemy^s new Recruits; all fuch Members of Parliament as had been lately turned out of the Houfe, took the Opportunity of this Conjuncture to repof- fefs themfelves of their Seats there, and with their late Wifdom began to lend their Ears, hitherto perfeQly deaf, to the Petiti- ons for reftoring Peace and the King, efpe- cially when the City of London^ by whofe Affiftancethey had fubdued him, almoft all to a Man (except a few ordinary Fellows of neither Name nor Subftance) had joined in the fame Petitions, and fet their Hands to them.

Nor was it long, e'er by their Help and that of fome other honeft Members, both the new Vote of not addref. fing the King was repealed, and a Treaty with his Majefty agreed upon, but the Place of Treaty to be the Ifle of Wighty where Cromwell's Party might eafily difturb all Things at Pleafure, as they afterwards did ; not in the Parliament Houfe, nor in the Pa- lace near it (which had been more conveni- ent for fuch as defired Peace) for fear the neighbouring City of London j heretofore the Parliament's fureft Safeguard, fhould of a fudden become as much too favourable to the King, as they had hitherto been too zea- lous againft him. What Mr. Barwick did more •with relation to this Treaty, I never learnt; only that I remember to have heard him fay, he had gone from London to the Ifle qH Wight in one Day, and returned thence to London in the fame Space of Time, with- out being tired; So willingly and with fo much io6 The LIFE of much Expedition was he ufed to execute the King's Commands 5 with fo good a Ha- bit of Body for bearing Fatigue was he then endowed, though not much ufed to ride, except it were about his Majefty's Bu- finefs.

But it was hard to accompli fli fuch a Defign, by Reafon of the great Number of Forces wherewith they were befieg'di and to have attempted it •with a numerous Body of Men, had certainly been in vain : They fend therefore by Night to T>oncaftery a fortified Town and the head Quarters of the Befiegers, a fmall Par- ty of about thirty Horfe, who pretend to bring Letters from General Crom^juell to Rainsborough^ his Lieutenant General, the chief Commander in this Siege : They rufh fuddenly into Rainsboroiighh Chamber, and becaufe he refufed to furrender, they kill him, and having done this, make their Way through the thickeft Guards of their Ene- mies, and all return to their Friends fafe.

By this Means it came to pafs, that they were not able to gather any Thing they defired out of the hidden Senfe of thofe Letters, which by Boftock\ Treachery fell into their Hands ; yet both the Brothers, the elder as found Guilty of High-Treafon, the younger asfufpeded of it, are by a Warrant of the ninth oi April 1650, fign'd by Bradjhaw Prefident of the New Republick, thruft into noifome Dungeons in the Gate-Houfe of Weftminfler. But to confult Brevity, as far as a Subject fo prolix will give leave, they were both treated with fo much Hardfhip and Indignity in their clofe Confinement, and fo rtreightly fhut up from any Relief or Affiftance of their Friends, that far from adminiftring in any kiftd toward their Subfiftence, it was not pofTible for any Friend, during the Space of fome Days, fo much as to ask how they did, or whether they were alive, without the Mortification of fufrerino; the like clofe Imprifonment for fome Time« But after a fev/ Weeks Mr. Ed^jvard Barwicky when almoft deftroyed with Cold and Hunger, as being the lefs Offender of the two (in the I Opiniou BoBor BARWICK. iij Opinion of thofe who ufed them fo cruelly) and only employed by his Brother, is let out of Prifon, upon Security given to return thither on their firft Summons, But alas ! the barbarous Treatment he had under- gone brought upon him two grievous Di- ftempers, the Stone and a confumptive Cough, of which he foon after died, giv- ing up his Life a glorious Sacrifice ro the Intereft of the King and Kingdom, a young Man of exemplary Piety, born for the Service of his Country : But the Rebels vent their utmoft Fury on his Brother John, as guilty of the higheft Treafon (forfooth) againfl: their ypftart Common- wealth. He had hardly been three Days confined, but he was again brought to Examination : He that cried out loudeft for putting hirn to the Torture^ was Sir Henry Mildmay^ who in Wickednefs,Abufivenefs,and cruel Threat- ning v/as almoft fuperior to that moft impu- dent Brawler Bradfhaw himfelf. It wa$ that very Mildmay, who having been Knight- ed by King Charles the Firft, made Mafter of his Jewel- Houfe, and diftinguiflied by other envied Marks of his Favour^ was not yet afraid to imbrue his facrilegious Hand$ In the ^lood of that his moft gracious afid munificent 124 7>&^ LIFE of munificent Matter, by an Inftance of Ingra- titude, as -well as Impiety, monftrous beyond all Example. But when they found their Pri- foner was not to be frightened with Threats, they tried more than once to allure him with Promifes, making him diverfe magni- ficent Offers, if he would ingenuoudy and candidly difcover what Plots he had been privy to againft their Common- Wealth : But the Integrity of his Mind was in no Danger from any Attacks of this Nature : O that his Body had been as impregnable to thofe of his Diftemper! When therefore he was not to be wrought upon by any of their Allurements, they renewed their Threatnings with more Violence. Yet they thought it not advifable to put him to the Torture, a Barbarity in this Age unheard of in England^ and he reduced to a meer Shadow : they chofe rather to leave him to perifli by his Diftemper 5 more folicitous to preferve themfelves from the Odium of fo barbarous a Cruelty, than touched with the leaft Senfe of Humanity ; for left his Illnefs fliould not difpatch him fopn enough, they refolve to haften his Deftruftion by a mofl: loathfome Confinement, but in another Pri- fon i for by a Warrant under BradJhAw^% own DoBor BARWICK. iij f^wn Hand, dated the 12^^ of April 1^50, they order Mr. Francis Weft Lieutenant of the Tower of London^ to take into his Cuf. tody this dying Perfon, and before he could breath out his lafl:, bury him as it were la fome Dungeon of thatPrifon, feduded from the Company of all Mankind, but of a ftern morofe Jaylor. Nor after all this did they defift from their cruel Threatnings 5 for they gave this Reafon for changing his PriJ fon, and confining him in the Tower, that he might be nearer to the Rack, kept there to torture fuch incorrigible Rebels, as they efteemed him : They threatned to fend Com- miffioners foon after, who by that Method fhould extort from him a Confeflion of all the wicked Plots (they faid) he had been hatching : Nor indeed, as falfe and perfidi- ous as they were in other Inftances, did they ufe to fail the leaft Tittle of what they threatned. But Mr. Barwick\ Hopes foar'd higher, than to be the leaft afFefted with their dire Menaces: In all Diificulties he ftill preferved his Mind firm and unde- jefted i and at that Time fortified his Faith and Patience with this pious Reflection, that upon the very fame Day, according to the Computation of the Church, Chrift had en^" dured it^ The LIFE of dured more grievous Sufferings for him 5 for \t was on Good-Friday that all this was done 5 and at the fame Hour of that Day, wherein Chrill: is recorded to have been buried, he was fhut up in this Dungeon, as I find noted by him in his Diary, Weft was not only fo obfervant of the Orders he had received, as to keep his Prifoner from the Speech of all his Friends, but was careful by Boards nail- ed up againft his Window, to intercept the free Air, the only Relief to his wafted Lungs^ and forbad him the ufe of Pen, Ink, and Paper, and of all other Books but the Bi- ble. Indeed all this had been exprefly and by Name forbidden him in a former Order given to the Keeper of the Gate-Houfe at Weftminfter : Bat the Lieutenant of the Tower oiBcioufly performed this grateful Ser- vice to his Matters, altogether befides their written Orders 5 and for many Months de- barred his Prifoner not only of all the Plea, fures of Life, but almoft of what was bare- ly neceffary to fupport it. Nor in the meart Time did the Rebels contribute the leall* Farthing to keep him from ftarving, after they had robbM him of all his Subftance j Nay, nor did they fuffer any Rehef, provi- ded by his Friends for his Subfiftence, xo be Doftor BAR WICK. iif be conveyed to him, unlefs fome one Per- fon were deputed to do that good Office, and of whom the new Common. Wealth (as they call'd it) ihould have fufficient Se- curity, that under this Pretext he fliould do them no Mifchief. The Perfon who at lafl: was by thefe jealous Wretches permitted to undertake this Office for his Friend, was one, who as well as Dr. Barwkk, had not long fince been a Servant to the BiQiop of 2)//r- Aam. Yet Mr. Barwick had Reafon afterwards to complain of Wrong done him in the Pay- ments he made, tho' he had a valuable Con- fideration for performing that Service. But they never allowed this Perfon to come to their Prifoner, but when his Keeper ffefi was at Leifure, or in the Humour, to be there with him, to prevent any private Dif-^ courfe between them, Mr. Barwick, who of all Men living had been leaft ufed to indulge his. Appetite, now lived more fpa- ringly than any Mortal, after he had con- traded this Illnefs : The Diet he ufed v/as Herbs or Fruity or thin Water-gruel made of Oatmeal or Barley with Currans boil'd in it, and fuTeteoM with a little Sugar 5 and this he ufed to cook himfelf in the Prifon, to help pafs away the Time. A s he was al« wayi 128 the LIFE of ways very abftemious, fo he now refrained from all forts of made Drink, whether Wine or Beer, or any other fermented Li- quor, quenching his Thirft with nothing but Spring Water : Nor did he live thus poorly, becaufe he could not afford to fare better (which yet many imagined, and one « has written) but partly becaufe the State of his Health required this; partly becaufe he was unwilling either with Envy or Expence to load his Friends, that were kind enough to him; for there were not wanting thofe, who took Care privately to relieve the NeceiTities of a Perfon, that had deferved fo well of his Country : And the King himfelf, of all Men the mofi: compaf- fionate, though deprived of his three King- doms, and living an Exile in a ftrangeLand, was fo good to take this Matter particularly into his own Care ; for out of a thoufand Pounds at that Time generoufly contribu- ted to his Majefty's Subfiftence by the Lady Savikyth^ good King ordered two hundred to be immediately employed for Mr. Barwick's Relief.

X19 Regard for this good Man's Fidelity, pre- ferved under the greaceft Difficulties, that he would willingly have purchafed his Li- berty with that of a certain impious ^jf/af- fin^ who had laid wait for his facred Life, as Dr. Barwick himfelf afterwards gratefully acknowledged in an Epiftle Dedicatory to the King , prefixt to his Life of Bifhop Morton, And when his Majefty with his Scotch Army was encampM at IForcefter^ a.nd he that writes this, a few Days before that unhappy Fight, throwing himfelf at his Royal Feet, lightly mentioned among other Things, the Confinement of Mr. Bar- wick, mod dear to him on many Accounts ? his Majefty with a generous Warmth of Mind vouchfafed to return this Anfwer. *' I well know that faithful Servant, and " hearty honeft Man, who for my fake, and " that of all my loyal Subjeds has beea " treated with great Indignity, and fuffer-- *' ed the utmoft Karddiips: But now, fays *' he, the Time is at Hand, when I fliall *' either with thefeArms fuccour him, and *' the reft of my deareft Friends, that groan ^' under the cruel Yoke of this Ufurpation, *' or willingly lay down this Life for them." But you will fay, of what Importance was K it, I30 Ue LIFE of ic, that his moft gracious Sovereign was fo folicitous for procuring the Liberty of this Subjed of his from the grievous Oppreflion of his moft deadly Enemies ? when at the fame Time his Life it felf was almoft utterly defpaired of, from the no lefs grievous Op- preffion of his Diftemper, and this even be- fore the miferable Eftate to which that had reduced him, was fadly augmented by the Severity of his Confinement : And indeed Mr. Barwick himfelf, of the Recovery of whofe Health the Phyficians had long fince defpair'd, thought it a Matter of little Mo- ment, whether he drew \m laft Breath in a free or a clofe Air, But in the midft of this Diftrefs he found very great Rcafon, if ever any Man did, to acknowledge and adore the wonderful Goodnefs of God, and re- turn him, as he conftantly did, his moft humble and hearty Thanks, for his many and extraordinary Mercies to him,* for in this clofe Confinement, he did not only ex- perience the great Care and Concern for him of the chief of his Friends, and even of the good King himfelf; infomuch that beyond what his Friends were able to do for him, he wanted nothing to fupport his drooping Life, as long as it fliould pleafe God DoBor BARWICK. 131 God to continue it : But what far exceeded all he could either hope or wifb, with thofe* Children of the Babylontjh C^^iiMix.^ y abominating the rich but prophane Dain- ties of the Tyrant's Table, and living only upon Pulfe and fpring Water, he throve daily, and grew fatter with this fimple Diet, to the no little Mortification of the Rebels, after he had been reduced toa meer Skeleton by the Confumption that preyed upon his Vitals : Nor yet had he made any Change, either in the Medicines pre- fcrib'd him long before this Confinement, or in his way of Living ; only that in this Her- mit's Cell he gave himfelf up wholly to God and Religion, intirely exempt from all publick Bufinefs, with which he had daily waflred his Strength. Mr. John Otway^ who (as was mentioned above ^ ) had taken upon him the Care of decently interring his Friend Mr. Barwicky when a little before his Imprifonment his Life was almofl: defpaired of, after he heard he was fhut up fo clofe, deftitute in a man- ner of all the Conveniences of Life, was I Dm. i, iz, ij-. Tage i2o» K % not 1^1 The LIFE of not a little affeSed with this unworthy Treatment of a Perfon he Joved fo well, and had been formerly bred up with in fo much Friendfhip in the fame College. And indeed he left nothing unattempted, that (as became their long Intimacy and Affeftion) he might adminifter fome Re- lief to his dear Friend in his clofe Confine- ment, and (as he thought) in Want. But there had now paifed fifteen Months, in which it had beea accounted a Crime to falute him fo much as at the Prifon Doors. At laft however, this good natured Gen- tleman, with a few others of Grefs-Innj both his and Mr. Barwick\ intimate Ac- quaintance, went boldly to Bradjhaw, him- felf alfo a Bencher of that Inn, and begg'd that he and they might have leave to vifit, and relieve, as far as it was in their Power, their old Acquaintance Mw Barwick, fhut up from all his Friends, deliitute of Help, and afflifled with Sicknefs to fuch a De- gree, that \(^ithout God's pecuUar Provi- dence he muft e'er that Time have funk under the Violence of his moft grievous Di- flemper. Thefe good Gentlemen were moft of them fuch, to whom Brad/haw cither defired to feem a Friend, or at leaft fliewed DoBor BARWICK. 133 ihewed no extraordinary Hatred ; for after the barbarous Murther of the King, he made it his Bufinefs to footh and cajole as many as he could into the Intereft of the new Common-wealth. But now breaking out into a violent Paflion againft Mr. Bar^ wick^ he mod bitterly inveighs againft him, not only as a Traytor to his Country, but as one that was guilty of the higheft Con- tumacy, and had moft ungratefully refufed the Favours offered him by the Common- wealth, againft which he had committed fuch heinous Crimes, and which might have long fince moft juftly taken away his Life, as a, capital Enemy to the Government; adding, that he wondered what evil Geni- us had induced fo many Gentlemen of that Inn, his dear Collegues of whom he had conceived much better Hopes, to defire any Acquaintance with fo great an Enemy and Peft of the Common-wealth. They on the other fide, the better to appeafe his An- ger, declare, that as to Mr. Barwick's Prin- ciples of Government, if he had offended {o heinoufly, they came not to intercede for him : But as to the reft, that they had always looked upon him as a Perfon of great Goodnefs, Piety, and Sincerity, of K 3 ¥^ 134 7Z.^ LIFE of an unblameable Life, and worthy of the Kindnefs and Friendfliip of all good Men^ and all that they dcfiied at prefent, was, that now he was in fo much need of it, they might be permitted to renew their old Acquaintance with him, who on many Ac, counts was moft dear to them, and in that his Diftrefs might afford him any Relief, which he defired, and they were able to give him. But Bradjhaw gravely admonifh- ed them to be very cautious with whom they cultivated Friendfliip, and to have a Care of being impofed upon by any fpecious Pretence of Piety : He advifed them parti- cularly and above all to avoid all manner of Converfation with Mv.Barwick, who before the Government was well fettled after the late Commotions, had endeavoured to un- dermine it, and was fo much the more dan- gerous an Enemy thereto, as he attempted to overthrow it in cool Blood. For, fays lie, we are little afraid of thofe, who in Taverns , even to Madnefs , drink King Charks\ Health, and wickedly devote them- fclvesto his Service. But, continues he, if your Friend Mr. Barwkk would at laft repent, and become a faithful Subjeft to the Common-wealtbj which he has fo many Ways Do^or BAKWICK. 13 j Ways injured, I am bold to fay, he would find it not only merciful and gentle, but gracious and liberal, and ready to heap Fa- vours upon him. [Then again, letting loofe the Reins to his Paffion 5 with what Enchant- ment, fays he, has this Barwicky fubtle Ar- tificer of Mifchief as he is, bewitched fuch a Company of Gref^-Inn Gentlemen to e- fpoufe fo ill a Caufe as his ? They reply, that there are many Perfons in that Inn, Men of known Probity, who would rea- dily have joined with them in this Requefl", and were Friends to Mr. Barwicky proba- bly for no other Reafon, but becaufe they efteemed him a candid Friend and a good Man,and were born in the fame, or in fome of the neighbouring Countries, or educated in the fame Univerfity. After Bradjhaw had fuf- ficiently tired himfelf with railing in the moft contumelious Terms againft Mr. Bar- wick, whom he could not induce to betray either the glorious Caufe he had efpous'd, or thofe worthy Perfons he knew to be en- gaged therein with him, neither by Threats nor Bribes! (for it was the Policy of this Arch-Rebel by turns to make ufe of both) at length growing a little cooler, he con- defcended to give leave, that one of their K ^ Company, 1^6 The LIFEoj Company, whomfoever they pleafed to choofe, (hould have Liberty to vifit him in the Name of the reft, and carry him what friendly Meflage, or other charitable P^ehef they fhould think fir to fend. They agree to make Mv.Otway their Deputy, who ob- tains a Warrant under Bradpaw's Hand to authorize IVefi the Lieutenant of the Tower to let him in to Mr. Barwick. Mr. Otway haftens to fVeJl with the Warrant, and iinds him very ready to comply therewith : For, fays he, there is nothing I defire more, than to do Mr. Barwick thofe good Offices, which I have been hitherto reftrained from doing him by my Mafters at the Helm : Nor could any good Man, fays he, but love and admire him, as a wonderful Example of Chriftian Piety, if he were not fuch aa Enemy to the prefent Government. Hav- ing faid this, they both haften to Mv.Bar- wlcL With what Joy he and his Friend' Mr. Otway embraced each other at this firft fo long defired Meeting, is not eafy to exprefs, What added extreamly to that of the latter, was to find his dear Friend Mr. Barwick fo much altered for the better, his Eyes fo lively, his Completion fo health- ful, and his Body in fo good Plight, that he hardly DoBor BARWICK- 137 hardly knew him ; and being almofl: aftonifh- ed at the unexpected fight, " Is this, fays " he, that Mr. Barwicky whom I faw at *^ our laft Meeting, or am I rather impofed *' upon by fome Apparition ? " " Yes indeed, *' replied Mr. Barwicky you might formerly " take me for a Shade, or an Apparition, *' or any thing of yet lefs Subftance, my *^ dear Mr. Otwajy when you was fo good " to take upon you the Care of feeing my " then wafted Body duly interrM 5 but now *^ I am again your very Friend Barwicky ^^ fince God of his great Mercy has fent his " Spirit into thefe dry Bones, and beyond " all Hope commanded them to live under «' this fevere Confinement. '' After this friendly Salutation the Lieutenant of the Tozver left them, permitting his Prifoner Mr. Barwick to enjoy the Converfation of his Friend alone, without any one by; a Privilege he had never once indulged him before , during fifteen Months Confine- ment, but had always been too officious a Spy upon almoft every Word that came out of his Mouth. The Lieutenant being gone, Mr. Otway acquainted his Friend Mr. Barwick with the whole Series of the Difcourfe betv/een Bradjbaw^ and him, and I his 15? Tloe LIFE of his Grefs-Inn Friends, and what dire Threat.' nings that execrable Regicide denounced againft Mr. Barwicky becaufe he would not betray that righteous Caufe, wherein he had engaged. Indeed, replied Mr. Barwicky he tried his Skill upon me more than once, fome- times threatning the Rack to this poor Carcafe, confumpcive as if then was, and fometimes promifing I know not what gold- en Mountains, leaving no Method unat- tempted, whereby he might induce me both to confefs I know not what heinous Crimes, and to difcover and accufe others as Accomplices therein;, when by Witnef- les hunted out and fuborn'd from all Quar- ters, he found himfelf unable to make Proof of either. Nor could you eafily believe, lays he, if you had not heard it your felf, how much he was exafperated, as well as the reft of his Rebel-AlTelfors, at my Si- \tnQQ^ which he was pleafed to call Contu- macy. And indeed, continues he, it is very abfurd to expefl the leaft Mercy or Humanity from them, who have been fa long inur'd to Cruelty and Barbarity, now they have found, I am neither to be woa \yith their Allurements, nor forced wath their DoElor BAR WICK. 139 their Threats. For which Reafon, fays he, I muft beg dear Mr. Otway'^smc^RdLWi Pray- ers to our moft merciful God in my be- half, that after fo many great and illuftri- ous Perfons (whom I follow at a great Di- ftance, and devoutly kifs their facred Foot- fteps) having engaged m a moft honour- able and righteous Caufe, and abetted it to the utmoft of my poor Ability, I may not at laft fink under the Load, if they fbould proceed to Extremities 5 for it is very meet, that being fupported by the Divine Aid, and having before my Eyes both the Royal Martyr, who lately (ct us fo glorious an Example in finifliing this Courfe, and even Chrift himfelf the Judge and Rewarder of our Conftancy and Perfeverance therein, and who has prepared the Way for us, I fliould not unwillingly lay down this Life, which God, as you fee, has beyond all Ex- peftation reftored me as it were from Death* Nor do I doubt, continues he, but all thofe Gre/slnn Friends of ours, kind to me be- yond my Deferts, wifh as well to our oppref- fed Country and afflitled Prince, as either you or I (for I have been many Years fuffi- ciently apprized of your good Will to both) and will be as ready to ferve them, when pccafioi^ 140 The LIFE of Occafion fhall offer; and I fhould willing- ly exhort you and them to Perfeverance and Conftancy in thefe moft difficult Times, but that I would not add Spurs where there is no Need. And when in this moft noble Race of Love to his Country Mr. Bar-wick led the Way (o cheerfully, not- •withftanding all his Load of Fetters ; he that would not willingly have followed him, one who w^as fo fignal an Inftance of the extraordinary Favour of God, that had preferved him from the Malice of his bar- barous Enemies, and from the Violence of a defperate Difeafe; and was fo noble an Example of unlhaken Virtue, and Evennefs of Mind, which God called him to exercife for the InftruGion of others : He, I fay, that would not readily have followed fuch a Leader, muft have been much Jefs zeal- pus and adive than Mr. Of way was : For this was that brave Mr. Otway^ who firft of all the Univerfity of Cambridge was not afraid publickly and learnedly to ^ defend the Royal Caufe againft the wicked Affo- ciation of thofe, whicli were thence cal> ^ Not improbably in Ibme publick Exercife in the College pr Univeriity. led BoBor BARWICK. 14^ led the '^ aflbciated Counties, in defpight of the Ringleaders of the Rebellion, and all their Malice s firft of all was thrown into Prifon for that heroick Aflion 5 and be- ing firft of all expeU'd the Univerfity, cou- rageoiifly led up the firft Rank, as it were, of Academick Combatants, who fought fo ftrenuoufly againft favage Brutes in that glorious Conflift for their opprefTed Coun- try : Nor did he fhew lefs Courage after- wards in the Field againft the fworn Ene- mies of the Kingdom, than he had formerly done in the Univerfity. When Mr. Otway had abundantly ex- prefTed his Joy, that his dear Friend Mr. Barwkk had fo much beyond all Hopes re- covered from fuch a deplorable State of Health, and had born all the Hardfhip and Mifery of his moft barbarous Confinement with fo much Serenity, Cheerfulnefs, and Greatnefs of Mind ; he began at laft to en- quire of him, from whence (after the Lot fes fuftained in his Fortune, fo much broken at Cambridge, and fince quite ruined here at London) he was able to obtain wherewithal ^ See abov^e p. 2p, to t42 the LIFE of to keep himrelf in fo good Plight ; for that if he were not fufficiently provided for at the Charge of the Common-wealth (as they called it) according to the Cuftom of that famous Prifon, always obferved as long as the Monarchy lafted, he and his Com- panions of Grey*'i-hin (as was but meet in the common Caufeof all good Men) were willing to contribute to his Relief. Mr. Barwick defired he would return his Thanks to thofe worthy Gentlemen for their kind Offer made by him, which he would ac- cept hereafter, if there fhould beOccafion; but that he was not willing to be unne- i^effarily burthenfome to his Friends, efpe- cially in that calamitous Condition not only of himfelf in particular, but of all the Roy- alifts in general 5 that hitherto by the won- derful Goodnefs of God and his Friends Kindnefs, though he had never received a Halfpeny from the prefent Government, he had never wanted wherewith both to provide himfelf fuch flender Diet, as feem'd mod agreeable to his State of Health, and alfo now and then to gratify his furly Keepers, Nor was it without Difficulty, that Mr. Otway prevailed with him to ac- cept a fmall Fledge of their further Bounty 1 to Doclor BAR WICK. 143 to him, if afterwards he fhould have need of ft. Indeed if Mr. Barwick would have abufed the Benevolence of his Friends, he might have grown rich under this Confine- ment : but he had fuch an Abhorrence of any Thing like that, that whatever Prefent was made him by fuch, as could not very well ajfFord it, he afterwards took Care to repay, as if it had been only borrowed. This great Example of Chriftian Pati- ence and unwearied Piety made fuch aa Impreflion upon Mr. Robert Browne the Deputy Lieutenant of the Tower^ who un- der Wefi the Lieutenant had the chief Care of the whole Prifon, that he was very for- ward to do Mr. Barwick all the good Offi- ces in his Power, was together with his Wife and Family daily at Prayers with him, received the bleffed Sacrament from his Hands, brought his new-born Child to be baptiz'd by him, according to the Rites of the Church of England^ and indeed be- came fo thorough a Penitent, that he would no longer ferve under the Ufurpati- on, but foon after returned to his own Trade, that of a Cabinet-Maker, as more honeft, though lefs gainful. Nay after his Child had been baptiz'd according to the Rites 144 TT^^ LIFE of Rites of our Church, he became little lefs hateful to his Anabaptift Mafters, than Mr. Barwick himfelf, for whofe Virtue and Pi- ety he had ever after a mod profound Re- gard. They that ftood Godfathers at this Chriftening, according to the antient Prac- tice of the Church, were two Scotch No- blemen, the Lord y OgUby and the Lord Spiney> y James Lord Ogil6y cideft Son to James Earl of Airly, chief of the great and antient Family of Ogilvie (as they are called in Scotland) defcended from Gilbert, Son of Gile6red, and Bro- ther of Gilchr'ifi Earl of Angus, who flourifhed in the Reign of King fVdliam called the Lion, and obtaining of that Prince the Barony of Ogilvie, took his Sirnamefrom thence, according to the Cuftom of thofe Times.

As he had for many Months paid him great RefpeQ: ; fo for all the Remainder of his Life he e- fteemed him little lefs than a Father, who in fome Meafure had begotten him and all his Family to Chrift. There is no doubt but Mr. fVeJl the Lieutenant of the Tower Gould have difturbed this Solemnity, or at leaft have prevented many of the good Of- fices done Mr. Barwick by his Deputy Lieu- tenant Browne^ beyond the Order of their Mafters, if he had not willingly connived at them, rtruck with the glorious Bright- nefs of the Divine Prefence darting out of the obfcure Cell of this mod holy Ancho- rite. Some who were no Strangers to the Affairs of that Time, fay, that Mr. Wejh did not only not difapprove of all thefe Things, but heartily, though fecretly, fa- voured them. Thus much I am fure of, that he who not long fince fo officioufly ^ guarded Mr. Barwick^ and executed the fe- vereft Orders of his new Mafteris sgainft him, nay treated him with more Rigour and DoBorBAKWlCK. iji and Severity even than he could jnftify from their exprefs Orders under their Hands, did now on a fudden fo intirely repent, or at leaft was fo much foftened, that he was as ready to do him all OiBces of Humanity, as Mr. Browne was, thofe of Duty and Reli- gion 5 for he removed him out of a mofl: noifome Dungeon into a handfome conveni- ent Chamber, with a pair of Leads over it , where he might enjoy freer Air , and fometimes alfo the Company of his Friends. He likewife more than once in his behalf made Application to the Mock- Council of State, that according to the Cu- ftom of that antient Prifon (in which there had never been fo heinous a Criminal, as not to have been liberally enough provided for at the Expence of the Government) a certain Allowance of Meat and Drink might be granted him under his Confinement ; and at length, after having frequently repeated this Requeft to them without Succefs, he took Care to fend him daily from his own Table fuch Meat as was moft fuitable to his State of Health. Yet it muft not be denied, that after the reiterated Solicitati- ons of the Lieutenant on this behalf, Mr, Barwkk in two Years and four Months, du- L 4 ring ijz TheLIFEoj ring which he was confined, received the poor Sum of four Pounds five Shillings of our Money from the new Common-wealth. So much did they indulge him in his lUnefs, to recover the Flefh he had loft by his Con- fumption : Nor did they grant him this lit- tle, till Mr. Weji had wearied them with his Importunity, and his Prifoner had la- boured full two Years under this grievous Confinement ; but then at laft, during the Remainder ^ of his Imprifonment, he was al- lowed five Shillings a Week towards his Subfiflence. Having granted him this one finall Fa- vour, the violent Rage of his Oppreffors began tocooU for (as was intimated above) fmce he would not betray himfelf^ after he had burnt his Cypher, they were able to find nothing againft him, only that he had received from fome other Hand Letters written in Charafters, fuperfcribed to ano- ther Name.

In this bloody Slaughter-houfe were butcher''d Colonel Eufebius AndrewSy^nA other honeft Loyal SubjeQ;s. And they threatned at that Time no lefs Cruelty againft Mr. Barwickj while they entertained any Hope of finding at laft, either from his own Confeflion, or the Teftimony of fuborn'd WitnefTes, any thing againft him, on which it might be lawful, ^ven by the PraQiice of that Court, to charge him with an Indiftment of High Treafon. j>3or was the abolifloing of this fanguinary Court more for Mr. Barwick\ Safety, than thofe new Cares and Anxieties that XJ4 t;^^ life of that folicked the Minds of the Rebels, and diverted their Thoughts to other Matters, who were now jealous of their Friends, as they had been formerly afraid of their Ene- mies : For they had too much Reafon to fufpeft, that Cromwell being flufhed with the Viftory, and laden with the Trophies he had ^ gained at Worcefter^ after he had by Fraud and Perjury brought three King- doms under his Yoke, was now meditating Violence againft the Partners and Accom- plices of all his Wickednefs, by whofe Af- fiftance he had fo often triumphed ; was going to commit a Rape upon the Mock Common-wealth, which being drunk with the Blood as well as adorned with the Spoils of fo many loyal SubjeQs, prided herfelf in her ftolen Purple ; and was juft ready with inceftuous Hands to ravifh a Govern- ment that lived by Rapine.

For this Reafon they that were fo- hcitous for Mr. Barwick's Safety, thought it proper to take the Advantage of this Con- jundure , and make Application to the Council of State, that after having now fuffered tvvo Years and four Months clofe Confinement, without being ever brought to a Trial, he might at laft be difcharged. And this was obtained without much Dif. ficulty upon the feventh of Aiigiift 1652. But Mr. Barwick was obliged to give Secu- rity to appear at the Tribunal of the Com- mon-wealth, and take his Trial, if fum* moned thereto within twelve Months, and to find two others to be bound with him in the fame Security. Thefe were Mr. Thomas Wharton Student of Greys-Inn^ and Mr. Richard ^ Royfton Bookfeller of London. He that had the chief part ia procuring this Enlargement was the Lieutenant of the Tower, Mr. fVeJt^ who had now for feveral Months Ihewed Mr. Barwick all the Kind- \$ec Note " p. 33. nefs tj6 The LIFE of nefs in his Power, not without giving fome Difguft to his Mafters. But three Days after he had obtained him his Liberty, he him- felf died fuddenly of an Apoplexy, and was fucceeded in the Lieutenancy by an infa- mous Wretch JohnBarkfted^ who had been one of the forwardeft to glut himfeif with the Royal Martyr's Blood, and from whofe cruel Tyranny Mr. Barwick had now very feafonably withdrawn himfeif. The Studies in which he had employed himfeif in this Solitude (befides daily Pray- ers, which according to the Cuftom of the Church, and the Praftice of the Apoftles he always attended at the Canonical Hours) were either the holy Scriptures themfelves, or approved Authors that commented upon them. But as long as Keebleh Court of Juftice fubfifted, he ftudied the holy Scrip- tures only, being prohibited the Ufe of all other Books whatfoever, as well as of Pen, Ink, and Paper. In reading thefe over and over he fo imprinted the facred Text in his Memory, that he had the whole Bi- ble almoft at Heart. The Fana ticks, with whom alone he had any Converfation at that Time, took a wonderful Plealure in wrefting the Scriptures from their genuine Senfe, Do&or BARWICK. 1J7 Senfe, and drawing Sophiftical Arguments from them againft the received Ufages of the Church, and that holy Dodrine which Mr. Barwick maintained. But he out of the fame Quiver had Darts always ready at Hand, with which he eafily repellM all the Force of his Adverfaries , and more thaa once ftop'd the Mouths of Bradjhaw him- felf and his Affeffors. Some of thofe with whom he ofteneft conversed, he brought en- tirely back into the Bofom of the Church (as was mentioned above) and made a Per- fon of Confideration as well as Ingenuity fpeak at leaft, and think with more RefpeQ: concerning her, if not favour heralfo from his Heart. After his Deliverance from the Prifon Mr. Bardjick i^QVit fome Time in his private Studies, till he could conveniently return to the Management of the King'^s Affairs : He read Prayers every Day at fome Friend's Houfe: Often at his excellent Patron's the Bifhop of "Durham, who receiv'd this mod welcome Gueft with thedeareft Embraces : Often with his aged Parents, whofe chief Comfort and Support it was, under the weight of their Years, that God had blef- fed them with a Son, who fo ftrenuoufiy aflerted ijg The LIFE of aflferted the Caufe of his oppreffed Coun- try, and of Chriftiaa Piety fo much decay- ed. But he did not think it proper to make any long Stay with the incomparable Lady Savile (who had a great Refped for fuch of the Clergy, as adorned their Do£trine by ^the Holinefs of their Lives, and among thofe particularly for him) fearing to expofe her too much to the Malice and Jealoufy of their Enemies. But with Sir Thomas Ers- field of Suffexy who feemed lefs obnoxious to their Sufpicion, he fojourn'd a confider- able Time : For in his Houfe he had the Ufe of a Library well furnifhed with the Writers of the Primitive Church, with which Mr. Barwick moft defired to con- verfe, and which of late he had much want- ed at the Bifhop of 'Durhamh^ who was at lad conftrained to fell his Library , well ftored with all forts of good Books, to fupport himfelf when above fourfcorc and ten Years old, he that was formerly u- fed to fupport fo many others, when before this Rebellion he enjoyed an honourable Poft in the Government of the Church, w^ith a very plentiful Income. But to re- turn to Mr, Barwick 5 having thus wonder- fullv ftruggled through fo many Hardfbips, he Do&or BAR WICK. 1J9 he was received by all his Friends with little lefs Kindnefs and Refpefl, than if he had been one rifen from the Dead. But when Cromwell had raifed himfelf to the ProteQiorfhip, and got the Reins of the Common- wealth into his Hands 5 and the twelve Months were now expired, within which Mr. Barwick had given Security to appear at the Rebels Mock-Tribunal on their firft Summons, and had heard in all that Time of no Indiftment againft him ; he goes to BradJhaWy whom Cromwell had now turned out, to confult with him, what was to be done, in order to get his Bond cancelled 5 fince it ought to lay him under no farther Obligation to the Common- wealth, now changed into a new Tyranny. Bradjhaw receives him with great Courtefy and Civility, and profefTes himfelf willing to do him any good OiBce even with Cromwell hxmkXfy if he had Intereft enough in him. But, Sir, fays he, there is no Og- cafion, that you (hould be very folicitous about this Matter j for fuch Papers are ei- ther all loft, or otherwife lye in fo much Diforder and Confufion, that they are ne- ver like to give Trouble to any one. Hence he took occafion to exprefs himfelf with 4. greac i^o The LIFE of great Bitternefs againft Cromwell, and utter the moft direful Execrations againft his ar- bitrary tyrannical Government 5 but fpake as refpedfully of the Royal Authority exer- cifed within thofe Bounds prefcribed by the Laws, as if he had had a Mind to return into Favour with Kings. But you Cava- liers (fays he fmiUng) muft needs laugh in your Sleeves at our Diffentions, and the Struggle there is amongft us, who fhall have the Government ; and promife your King, not without Reafon, great Advantages from our Difagreement. There were at that Time very many Perfons of Note in the King's Intereft, who looked upon that as a moft favourable Con- junfture to attempt his Majefty's Reftora- tion, when CromwelPs Friends therafelves began to be weary of his Government. With thefe Mr, Barwick was always in Readinefs to contribute his Share to fo glorious a Work. Yet Cromwell long defeated all their Endeavours, by bribing fomeof them over to his Side, of whofe Fidelity it was thought his Majefty neither could nor ought to en- tertain the leaft Sufpicion. However by fome brave Men thole Seeds were then fown, which afterwards grew up to a Har- W: veft DoEior BARWICK. i6i veft for their oppreffed Country's Relief, rich and plentiful beyond all they could hope for. O that we (wicked and ungrateful Nation as we are !) had not denied thofe Thanks to our g<"acious God, the munifi- cent Donor of that Blefling, which were due for fo great an Inftance of his Good- nefs to us ! What part Mr. Barwick took upon himfelf to perform in this great Work, in which every good Man had his Share; how confiderable and important Service he did, and how acceptable to his Majefty, I ftial! endeavour as briefly as I well can to relate. There were at that Time two Perfons of chief Rank in the Army under Crom- welly Colonel » John Clobery and Colonel Daniel Redman^ who commanded two Re* giments, the former in Scotland^ and the latter in Ireland^ both of them greatly be- loved by their Soldiers, and both Brothers- in-Law to Mr. Otway abovemencioned ; Colonel Redman having married that Gen- * Afterwards Sir fohn Clobery of PTtfJcheJier, where there is a ftately Monument erefted to his Memory in the Cathedral, with a long Infcription lately publilhed in the Antiquities of that Church.

Mr. Otway^ who had religi- oufly prefer ved his Fidelity to the King, and always maintained a ftridl Friendfbip with Mr. Barwick, had made it his Bufinefs for fome Years (ftill confulting him as there was Occafion) to endeavour to bring over to the King's Intereft thefe two confiderable Men, moft dear to him for their Friendfliip, as well as for their Af- finity. And the honourable Lady Savile^ who always admitted Mr. Barwick into her moft fecret Counfels, ufed the hke Endea-' vours by proper Perfons and Arguments to folicit Colonel ^ Robert VenableSy a Perfon of great Note in Cromwell^ Army, to take Compallion of his afflided Country (groan* }ng under the Oppreffion of that Tyrant) and return to his Duty to the King.

And though this was fome Time efFefting, yet they were Perfons of fo much Generofity, as not only to receive in a friendly manner what- ever was offered them in Difcourfe to that Purpofe, without ever difcovering it; but alfo at laft to employ their Endeavours for the King's Service, each in his feveral Poft^ to no mean Purpofe. In order to negotiate his Majefty's Affairs with thefe Gentlemea and others, Mr. Barwkk was often obliged to intermit his private Studies, and ride from Sujfex up to London^ the chief Seat of all that was then doing towards a happy^ Reftoration. About this Time the Rebels were deli- berating with themfelves, whether they (hould not (according to Hobbes\ Dodrine then lately publiflied ^) deftroy all fuch as they thought really favoured the Royal Caufe. But the Ufurper follov/ing milder Counfels, and knowing that the Number of fuch Perfons was too great to beflaugh- tered, contented himfelf to plunder them, though they had been more than once plun- [ In his Leviathan, L % jdered i64 TheLIFEoj dered before.

So little did they confider in the mean Time, that none do more difturb the Unity, and weaken the Faith of the Church, for which they would feem Co much concerned, than fuch as endeavour by Fraud and Falfliood to fupport and main- tain them. It was fufficient to confute this doughty Argument of our Adverfaries, that the Billiop of Durham was ftill living, as probably they hoped he was not ; for he was now in the ninety fifth Year of his Age. As foon therefore as his Friends gave him Notice of this Calumny fattened upon him, when he thought of nothing lefs ; he fent from the Country, where he then refided, for his Chaplain Mr. Barwick then at Lon- doriy ordering him to bring a publick Nota- ry with him, that by a folemn Proteftation made before them and other proper Wit- nefies, he might declare the Falfliood of this Story. When his Lordfliip had made this Proteftation " in due Form, he employ- ed Mr. Barwick to lay it before all thofe Lords, who had fat in that Parliament, and were Do&or BARWICK. 173 were yet furviving, whether Spiritual or Temporal, living either at Z(?»^c?», or in the neighbouring Counties; appealing to the Faith of them all, that preferring the Sa- crednefs of Truth to all other Confiderations whatever, if they believed him undeferved- ly afpers'd with this Calumny, they would freely atteft it by fubfcribing their Names. And this was readily done * not only by all the Lords of Parliament, to whom the Proteftation could be carried (and it was carried to a great many) but by all the Clerks alfo, and other Officers of the Houfe, whofe Bufinefs It was to regifter in authen- tick Journals all fuch Debates, if there had been any : But they all declared, there was not the leaft Footftep to be found either of any fuch Book, as was pretended to be laid before the Houfe, or of any fuch Speech, as the Adverfaries alledged to have been made on that Occafion. The aged Bifhop, now paft managing Church Controverfies himfelf, lays his Commands on his Chap- lain Mr. Barwick to publifh this Prote- ftation, together with the noble Tefti- mony i;r4 ne LIFE of mony thereto fubjoin'd. And this he de^" figned to do in a juft Volume: But when he heard that the learned y Bifhopof T)erryi then an Exile in Holland^ intended the fame Thing (having been engaged before with the fame Adverfaries in that Controverfy ^) he readily left this Work to his LordChip's irrefragable Pen,furnilliinghim in the mean Time with Materials proper to end this Difpute % not only from this frefh Tefti- mony of undoubted Authority, but alfo out of more antient Monuments, as old as the Reformation itfelf 5 and thofc not only fuch as were taken from the authentick Re- cords of the Church, which Mr. Mafon had ^ formerly produced, and fo aftonilhed his Adverfaries v/ith them (as with the (ight of Gorgon's Head) that they had re- mained under a profound Silence now about thirty Years: But iikewifc out of the pub- y Dr. John Bramhall. * Viz.. in his jult Vindiration of the Church of EngU^id, p. 133.

The Motto of it was j^lter /irifiideSy another Ariftides : But whether it was with Defign, or rather by mere Ac- cident, that the holy Man had this Ring on his Finger at that Time, is what I am not able to fay : Certainly it feemed to have been firft made for a much different Pur- pofe, than to ferve this tragical Occafion.

Therefore the King's Friends looked upon this as a very favourable Conjundure, (now they perceived the Confervators of the.

But though I am not fufficiently apprized, what was done for the King's Service by each of thefe Gentlemen particularly, or any other of the Scotch Army, while thefe Matters were tranfaQing; yet it abundantly appears from Letters of undoubted Authority, that whatever belonged to Mr. Barwick's Pro* vince, whether in Englandy in Wales^ or in Ireland^ but particularly in Scotland, was always difcharged by him with the ftriaeft Conformity to his Majefty's Will and Plea- fure, of which the Chancellor gives a very honourable Teftimony in a Letter written for the King's Service both by Sir Thomas Claries and Sir R/ilph Knight, * Colonel of Horfe, whereof the General having had only- four Regiments, he muft have been conliderable.

While thefe Things were upon the An* vil, Mr. Baru)ick was again called upon to intermix his Negotiations for the State with the Affairs of the Church, in which he feemed to aft, as in a Province belonging to him by a better Right, and was as af- (iduous in the Difcharge thereof, as if he {ii^d been abfolutely at Liberty from all o- ther DoBor BAR WICK. 199 thcr Bufinefs. After that lamentable Defeat at fVorceftery the Church of England^ which lay before in a very difmal and deplorable Eftate, began now to be altogether defpe- rate: For what could (lie do, now after that fatal Overthrow, deftitute of all Hope of that Advantage fhe expefted from the King's Proteftion ? Or if there remained any Profpeft of the Monarchy's being ever reftored, it was at fo great a diftance, and fo hard to be difcovered, that there was Reafon to fear at leaft, that before the Re- ftoration could be brought about, all the Difcipline of the Church, and the fettled accuftomed Order of worfhipping God, would, even among fuch as were Enemies to Schifm, be utterly loft, and funk into Confufion. Befides, the few Bifliops that were yet living, being almoft worn out with bad Times and old Age, were not like to furvive much longer : Nor was it eafy for thofe who yet furviv'd, to fubftitute ci- thers in the room of fuch as were deceased, having more than one Obftruflion to hinder them. And if the Epifcopal Order fhould fail, together with the Bifhops themfelves, who were now fetching as it were their laft Breath, and confequently the whole O 4.

Of fo little Moment it was to have proved (as was obferved above) that the Succeffion of Bifliops in the Church of Eng- land had continued uninterrupted from the beginning, if now at lafl: it fhould come to an end in the midft of our civil Diffentions, It feemed therefore altogether neceflary to fecure the Church in thefe two Particulars ; One, left being fliakeu by Storms of Perfe- cucion (he fhould hear no Fruit on her Branches: The other, leil; flie fhould wi- ther m her very Root, of which in a few Years there was great Danger.

However when almoft every one elfe now defpaired of the Royal Caufe, Mr. Ot^joaj thought it one Indication at leaft of the GeneraFs not wifhing ill to it, that he madeufe of Colonel Cloberfs ilffiftance and Advice to purge the Army of all fuch Of- ficers, as he could not confide in^ and did this the more willingly, becaufe he knew he was in the King's Intereft. For the General had found him by Experience a Man exaftly made after his own Mind, honeft; filent, wary, and as well in Cou- rage as in Counfel equal to thofe arduous Affairs which his Excellence was undertak- ing: But the utmoft he would promife to any Man living was, that he would oppofe the ravaging Tyranny of fome, who lay in wait to deftroy the Liberty of the Common- wealth, and trampled upon the Authority of the Parliament. But as foon as he had in fome Meafure purged his Army of fuf- pefted Officers, and put trufty Garifons into the Places of moft Strength in Scotland^ be- ing DoBor BARWICK. 225 fng now fecure from behind, he thinks of marching towards England. But he fends three Commiflioners to London before him (of whom Colonel Clobery was the chief) furnifhed with Inftruftions, on pretence of making Peace with the Enemy, if it were poffible[$ but in reality, that he might make a better Ellimate of their Forces, and ufe his Endeavours to diminifh them. Nor did this Defign fail of Succefs 5 for by this Ar- tifice he did not only bring over to his In- terefl: Tortfmmith, a Town of great Strength, and moft commodious for his Affairs; but Colonel Clobery alfo by this Means gained a convenient Opportunity both of converfing again with Mr. Otway^ lately returned to London from Scotland, and hkewife of confulting with Colonel Redman, who lodg'd at Mr. Otways Houfe, and of concerting Meafures almoft daily both with him and his Friend Mv.BarwJck. For the chief Point he had to manage with his Friend Colonel Redman was, that he would ufe his Endea- vours to draw away from Lambent Army the /r(/& Forces, which had lately ferved un- der him. Colonel Redman willingly pro- mifes to attempt this noble Enterprize, and cheerfully undertakes a Journey towards JorkJJrlre^ 224 The LIFE of Torkjhire, where thofe Forces were then encamped, that he might give all the Help he could to General Monky then entring in- to England. That noble Wing of the Irijh Army had three Troops, of which Colonel Redman had the greateft Hopes : He refolv- ed therefore to folicit the Revolt of thefe firft. But thefe Troops no fooner faw their former long defired Colonel, but they bad their new Commanders AxteldinA Zanchy fliift for themfelves, openly protefting, they would ferve hereafter under none but Co- lonel Redman: And their Example was fol- lowed by the whole Wing, to the Number of fifteen hundred Horfe. This Revolt of the Irijh Auxiliaries, with fome other Inconveniences which attended it, greatly enervated Lamberfs Forces, and broke their Courage, and alfo removed out of General Monk^s Way whatever could have obftrufted his March up to London^ opening him a free Paffage through all the Country; who addrefs him in his Way with Congratulations^ not obfcurely intimating their Defire to fee their antient Laws and Government reftored. But the General did not think it even yet fafe to declare openly for the King^ fince many of tliofe, who ;j, were DoBor BARWICK. izy were for reftraining Lambert* s immoderate Ambition and Thirft of Government, were yet not undcfervedly fufpefled to have r\6 Affection for his Majefty. For to fay no- thing of thofe, indeed no fmal] Number, who long poifeffed with I know not what Fanatick T>amon , were endeavouring to throw every thing intoConfufion, and fub- mit all to the licentious Difcretion of the Soldiers; there were fome, who though willing to repent of what was paft, yet imagined they had offended too heinoufly againft the King, to be pardoned even by a Prince of his unparallePd Mercy : And thofe who had tranfgrefs'd perhaps lefs than the reft, thought they had Reafon to fear, left being hitherto enriched with the Spoils of the Crown, and of the King's Friends, they fhould be obliged after his Majefty's Refto- ration to make due Reftitution both to him and them. But although General Monk was fuffici- ently apprized, that in all the Counties they were extreamly weary of the new Tyran- ny, and very well affefted to the King, and were ftanding as it were in readinefs to deliver their Country from that grievous Yoak : yet ha thought it aMatter of nolittleDanger for them (^ to ii6 The LIFE of to join Battel with the Veteran Soldiers ;fince though infpired with the moft generous Warmth and Zeal for his Majefty's Service, and even far fuperior in Number to their Enemies, yet they were moft of them not much skiird in War, and through the Trea- chery of fome could not be eafily drawa together into one Body. That he might not therefore feem to flight the Authority of the Parliament, which he had undertaken to defend, he was obliged to make fhew of a great Readinefs to obey the Orders even of that fcandalous Rump of a Houfe, which Cromwell formerly diffblved, as like to be ufelefs or troublefome to him, after the King's Murther ; and w^ho had now taken Poffeflion of their Seats again, and ufurp- ed not only the Authority of Parliament, but the Sovereignty. Their Commands, however invidious, he for fome Time did xiot decline to execute, by their Order break- ing down the Gates and Portcullices of the City of London , becaufe the Citizens had refufed to pay their Duties and Cuftoms with their ufual Readinefs. It was a very great Mortification to the Royalifts, to fee a Man , from whom they had promifed themfelves fuch great Things, now after he had Do£^or BAKWICK. 117 had conquered Lambert even without a Bat- tel, to become a.

And now all the SubjeQs of Britain feemed to have fubmitted their Necks to a more grievous Yoak than ufual ; having all on a fudden exchanged the fingle Tyranny of Cromwell or Lambert alone, for one of a hundred Fold, that of a moft cru- el many-headed Monfter.

Indeed the wifeft among thofe, who DoEior BARWICK. 137 who had the Management of the Church Affair, were of Opinion, that it ought by all Means to be haften'd, and the Epifcopal Succeflion provided for out of Hand : For they were afraid, left his Majefty (hould by the importunate Petitions of fome, who en- couraged the Faction under a fraudulent Pre- tence of compofing Diffentions, be folicited to yield, that nothing at all (hould be done relating in any wife either to the Advan- tage or Difadvantage of the Clergy , till Matters being more maturely weighed, fome Expedient fhould be thought on, by the common Confent of all thedifagreeing Par- ties, to reconcile the different Opinions of them all; a Thing abfolutely impofTible. If fuch as favoured the Schifm had been able to obtain this, they might eafily have promifed themfelves, that by the continual Doubts, which the Followers of the feveral Parties fliould fuggeft, they might fo long protradl: the Time, till all theBifhops were dead, and the Church itfelf expirM witif them : And though his Majefty was too much aware of their Frauds, to be imposM upon by them $ yet (what was hard enough) he might be loaded with the Envy of hav- ing refused to be deluded by thofeill Men's Deceits, 238 The LIFE of Deceits, when they were fo fpecious. Thefe anxious Thoughts at this Time gave Mu Alleftrey and Mr. Barwick twice as much Bufinefs as they had before : Nor is it eafy to fay, how much this pious Defign, not only approved, but zealoufly promoted by almoft all the holy Order, was yet retard- ed by the unbecoming Timoroufnefs of one or two of them.

The Purpofe was to fill all the vacant Sees in both Provinces : But fince none that was not ready to comply with any Thing the Governors of the Church fhould di- reft, would willingly accept the Bifhoprick of the IJle of Man in the Province of Tork (for this had been a fort of Banifhment, and being driven, as it were, from the Com- pany of Men, or rather thruft into the Jaws of a cruel Tyrant ^ who then govern- ed the IJIe) this was the Occafion of fome Difficulty. To remove this Impediment and Pretence of Shuffling, the Earl of T)erifjf ** Daniel King in his Treati/e of the Ijle of Man (printed Anno 1 6^6i Fol.) fays (p. 1 6.) That this Jjle by Authority ofParliamem was devolved to Thomas Lord Fairfax,' He adds, that his Lord/hip hath the Jurifdt5iion of the Ife, as the [aid Earl (viz. of Derby) had, fo hath he alfo the Title, namely Lord of Man, and of the Ifles. The under Lieutenant or Governor was Major Wade-y &c. The A61 referr'd to is Anno 1649. R 3 moft 2^6 the LIFE of moft afFeftionat^ely befought Mr. Barwicky that he would condefcend to accept of that poor Bifhoprick 5 for it was in the Patronage of that noble Lord, and he was very folicit- ous to have it well filPd. Mr. Barwick (though never to be deterr'd by any Dan- ger from what became the Duty of a good Man, yet) had Reafons in his Opinion of fome Weight, why he could not very wil- lingly fufFer himfelf to be made a Bifhop ; left namely he fhould be thought by fome, to have labour d fo indefatigably in the Bu- finefs of the Ecclefiaftick Succeffion, only to procure himfelf a higher Title. Yet that there fhould be no farther Stop made by thofe tardy Lingerers in promoting this Work, he promifed to comply with his Lordfliip's Requeft, if it fliould appear ne- ceflary. But that all Pretence of Delay might be taken away from every one, the Chancellor in the King's Name writes a Letter fomething more prefling, dated from Bruffels^ Feb. 20, 1660, in which he cen- fures the dilatory Proceeding of thofe, who afted with a little too much Coldnefs in this Affair : For it was his Majefty's Intent, that the Clergy fhould concert this Matter among themfelves, as a Province peculiar to Do^or BARWICK, 247 to them ; and at their Difcretion, as Occa- fion fhould offer, remove out of the Way •whatever Obftruftions there might be to a Work of that Importance. It is certain, his Majefty had not the leaft Sufpicion of their incroaching upon his Prerogative; and it was his Opinion , that no room fliould be allowed to any farther Pro- craftination and Delay. The Chancellor's Letter {Append, N^ xxv.) has this Paflage in it. " Concerning the Bufinefs of the Church, *^ I will confefs truly to you, I am always " afliamed of mentioning it to his Majefty, " who is as much troubled and afhamed, ** that there fhould be no more care taken ^' of it by thofe, whofe Part it is, when he *^ hath done all that he can.

I mufl: own, that I have with fome Free* dom cenfur'd the Slownefs of a few of the Clergy in the Bufinefs of the Church : Yet I am willing to think, there is no Reafon that a- ny one fhould blame me for this^as if I intended to DoBor BAR WICK. 249 to caft any Refledion upoa their Order, for which no Man has more Veneration than I. Since thofe I complain of, that they interrupted the noble Endeavours of many others, were themfelves but very few 5 and I readily own, and con- gratulate with the Church of England^ that far the greateft part of her Clergy were fo conftant to their Duty, that neither the Lofs of all they had, norlmprifonment, nor BaniChment, nor even Death itfelf was fufficient to deter them from it. And thofe very Men, whom I have now obferved to have been fomething deficient therein, did more than once in Times of Diftrefs obtain immortal Praife for their Chriftian Fortitude and Patience, But it was cer- tainly very indecent, when their deareft and moft afflifted Mother the Church was now in her Extremity, and iraplor'd their Affiftance, that every one according to his feveral Ability, did not apply him- felf with greater Solicitude to relieve her. Nor did I think it at all jud, that when the Fault belonged to very few, the Im- putation of it fliould be charg'd upon the whole Number: For if there be no Dif- ference to be made between the timo- rous 2yo The LIFE of rous and the brave, between him that is flothful, and him that is diHgent ; then it is in vain that fo many great Men have endur'd the fevereft Confinement for the publick Liberty, nay in vain that they have poured out their generous and no- ble Blood, as if ufelefs and fuperfluous, for their mofl: dear Country. There was no doubt made but this Let- ter, together with his Majefty's Command given to Mr. AUeJirey by Word of Mouth, would have effedually fpurr'd on the moft dilatory of the Clergy. to finifli this Work out of Hand ^ if by I know not what ill Fate two new Obftruftions had not intervened : One was, that Mr. Barwick\ Letter, as it was going to Bmjfelsy the other, that Mr. AUeJirey as he was returning Home from thence, both fell into the Enemies Hands. Mr. AUeJirey betray'd (by whofe Perfidiouf- nefs is unknown) was no fooner landed up- on the Englijh Shore, but he was immedi- ately made a clofe Prifoner 5 and Mr. Bar- wick^s Letter, with more fent by Mr. Wil- ham Rombald and others, were intercepted by the Garifon of Dunkirk, then at Enmity With the King [And what was yet worfe, although LoBor BARWICK. 251 although every different Perfon's Letter was written in a diftinft Cypher, and that contrived with great Thought, yet they were all decypher'd by the Art and Inge« nuityof a certain very id^mom^ Mathema- tician^ who was hired by the Rebels. For it was the very fame Artift that made thefe Difcoveries, who (too officious to gratify the Rebels) had (as was intimated above) decypherM his Majefty's Papers, writtea alfo in Charafliers, and taken at Nafeby Fight. Yet he had now at laft this in hioi of a good Subjeft, thatat this Time he dif- coverM nothing to the Rebels, which much concernM the publick Safety 5 though he fatisfied fome of the King's Friends, that he could have difcover'd a great deal. But all thofe whom it concerned being fuffici-= ently affur'd, that no Key of any Cypher had fallen into the Enemy's Hands j it was thought nothing but vain boafting, when the Rebels brag'd, that by the Help of their Friends they were able to find out the moft hidden Secrets of the Royalifts 5 ^ Dr.Wallis.

O with what Acclamations of Joy did the City of London then triumph ! How hardly did Ilie contain her felf thro* Excefs of Gladnefs, feeing all Things at length in Safety, or affuredly hoping they would be ; when now immediately after the City Gates and Portcullices broke down, the Citizens thrown into Prifon, and Tyranny ravaging with Cruelty and Haughtineis through all her Streets, by an unexpefted Meffage of glad Tidings, fhe was ordered again to be Free! O that joyful and fefli- val Night (for we who faw it, and bore a part in that Exultation, great as the Cala- f Probably the {;jme mentioned in the Chancellor's Letter of M^^'ih ^,1^60. ^ppe?7d, N°. xxvi. mitV 2y4 TT'^ LIFE of mity we had been lately Partakers of, can- not but remember it with Pleafure) when the Soldiers and Citizens congratulated each other, that the Yoak they had groaned un- der, alas I too long, was now at length hap- pily fliaken off!

When laftly, the Obfequies of the late Tyranny were celebrated with Bonfires illuminating all the City, as with a long-wifh'd-for Funeral-Pile! Nor were thofe few Members of the lower Houfe of Parliament yet afham'd to aflume this Li- berty in great Meafure to themfelves alone. For neither had the Lords refum'd their Seats in the upper Houfe ; and befides, all thofe Gentlemen of the Houfe of Com- mons, who from the beginning had perfift- ed in their Duty to their King and Coun- try, and for that Reafon had been driven from their Seats by feditious Tumults, ftill lay under an Incapacity, not yet taken off: Not that General Monky the generous Af- fertor of his oppreffed Country's Liberty, can be thought to have envied any one his Freedom; but that it was not poflible for him at one and the fame Time to fet the v/hole Do^or BARWICK. ijj •whole Nation at Liberty 5 with fo impati- ent a Thirft of governing were fome Tie- beian Minds poffefled, partly in the Senate, and partly alfo yet in the Army.

It was well indeed, that the greatefl: part of the Parliament was willing the Monarchy fhould be rellor'd; but moft of them upon hard Terms; every Party among them en^- deavouring to draw over the General, and all the Army to their Opinion, and fpread- ing the Poifon of Rebellion in part publiclc- ly in the Parliament Houfe, and partly after their ufual manner in private Clubs. Nor * was LoBor BARWICK. 257 was it yet fafe for the General openly to oppofe their Attempts : But what amounted to the fame Thing, he dedar'd that it feem'd to him mofl: reafonable, that the manner of reftoring the Privileges of his Country fliould be left to the next Parliament. Yet the prefent Houfe had in it fome Members of great Worth, fuch as Sir Thomas Middle-- tOTiy Sir Richard Brown, and others, who to the utmoft of their Power oppos'd the tvicked Attempts of the reft; now heartily repenting of their dreadful Violation of the Laws both Civil and Ecclefiaftical, and of the unheard of Injuries they had formerly done the befl; Prince and moft holy Martyr, and earneftly exhorting the General to make a full Reftitution of their Rights to all. But there was one Thing which occa- fioned fome to hope, but very many to fear, that this great Man was not altogether a- verfe to their Sentiments, who defir'd the King fhould be reftorM by Articles con- formable to the Treaty of the Ifle of IVight ; and that was, that before he entered upon this late Expedition into England^ he and the Scotch Mobility (to whom it was thought thofe Articles would not be unacceptable) had had a private Confultation, the Subject S whereof xjg ne LIFE of whereof was hitherto concealed with as much Care, as the reft of his Defigns. On this Occafion Mr. Barwick received the fol- lowing Orders dated fi'om Bnijfels^ March 8, 1660. Append.

That all who had endea- voured to live according to the received Laws (which was every good Subjed's Du- tj7) fhould for that very Reafon forfeit the Right of Subjefts, and be condemned (as it were) to be perpetual Slaves ? Nay the Ge- neral himfelf being privately ask'd by the Royalifts, if it did not appear moft reafon- able to him, that a free People fhould make ufe of their ancient Right in giving Votes, made no doubt to anfwer freely (as much as he had been upon the Referve till then) that no Injury, as he knew of, would be done to any one, if the People made ufe of their Right. Yet none of thofe who had formerly fought for the Rights of the Crown againft the Mock-Parliament, would now offer himfelf as a Candidate to the Votes of his Countrymen, without firft confulting General Alonk, much lefs againft his Will 5 yet for any one to liave reveaPd the Gene. *. rals Doctor V^KKVJICK: i6i ral's Opinion in this Matter, as free as he •was to give it when privately ask'd, would by all the King's Friends have been account- ed a very unworthy Aflion : For this had been to expofe a Perfon (who beyond the Examples of all Ages had deferv'd well of the Publick) if not to be opprefs'd by the Rage and Malice of the Rebels (from which hefeem'dtobe fecure, now that at laft he had modell'd the Army of the three King- doms to his Mind) yet at leafl; to be made the Objed of their Curfes and Execrations, Hence it was, that the Rebels did not defpair wholly of promoting, in fome Meafure at leaft, their Intereft in next Parliament ; fince very many honeft loyal Gentlemen re- fnfed to be chofen Members, though volun- tarily offerM : Not that they were under any Awe of the qualifying Voteabovementi- oned, for which no one had the leaft Regard ; but for fear General Monk fhould incur any Sufpicion on their Account. Yet the horrid Murther of the Royal Martyr, and the no lefs impious Profcription of the King his Son, had rendered all the Attempts of the Fadion fo hateful to every one, that few could procure themfelves to be chofen into this Parliament, who feemM in the S 5 leaft 26z The LIFE of kaft to favour their Schemes. But Gene- ral Monky though he had marfhalPd the •whole Army of the Common-wealth under Officers of approved Fidelity (among whom he had given the Government of Cheftet Caftle to Colonel Venables abovementioned, who had been now long engaged in the King's Service with Mr, Barwick) did not however think Matters in perfefl: Safety, till he had obliged all the Common Sol- dier<^ alfo of the Veteran Regiments, on whom bo^h Peace and War moft depended, to come to this mutual Agreement, that they would willingly comply with the Re- folution of the next Parliament. From this very few diffented ^ in all the General's own Regiment no more than two. When this was done, his Excellence thinking himfelfnow more fecure, at laft ad- mitted to a private Conference with him Sir John Greenville^ by whom his Brother Mr. Nicholas Monk had been formerly fent to him into Scotland with InftruQions from the King. In that Conference the General declared to Sir John his Readinefs to ferve his Majefty, which it was very neceffary to conceal till then, by Reafon of many and great Difficulties, wherewith he was to ftruggle; BoBor BARWICK. 2(^3 ftruggle : But now that through the mer- ciful Providence of God he feemM to have in great Mcafure overcome them all , he fhould for the future appear more openly in his Service.

Sir John Greenville very much rejoicing (as was but reafonable) at this News, made all poj[Iible Hafte toBruffels 5 but carried to his Majefty only by Word of Mouth what the Ge- neral had given him in Command : For he, who was the moft cautious Man living, and rather chofe to be in reality dutiful and fer- viceable to the King, than to appear fo,did not think it was yet fafe to commie any Thing to writing. Upon Sir John Green- *ville\ firft Arrival, his Majefty, according to the General's Advice, immediately goes to Breda^ but as it were with an intent of returning again : For hitherto the Spanijh Court which was at Bruffels, did not beHeve that General Monk had the leaft Inclination S 4 to 2^4 The LIFE of to fcrve the King ; but thought his onfy Aim was, to ferve his own Ambition, after the Example of thofe, who had got the Go- vernment into their Hands before. And the only Reafon of this Journey, his Majefty gave our, even to thofe of his Houfhold,' was, that he went to make hisdeareft Sifter a Vifit; being now long fince fufficiently fecure of the General's experienc'd Fidelity, and moft profound Wifdom in conducing Affairs of Difficulty and Importance. Mr. Barwick in a late Letter to the Chan- cellor had informed him from Colonel Clo-^ berf^ Account, with what Clamour, Rage, and Indignation the GeneraPs Meflengers \v/ere received by the hotteft among the Members, when they carried that dreadful Meffage of at length dilTolving their Mock^ Parliament.

So modeftly he appeared to think of that extraordinary Service he had done the King's Son y as if he had not been worthy of any Reward for it, unlefs he haddeferv'd fo very well of both Kings.

Colonel Clokry was the younger Son of an ancient F^miJy in Devon/hirCy which had continued at Brad/ion their Seat above live hundred Years. They have had a plentiful Eftate in that County and in Cornwall, and have frequently intermarried with the bell Families in both Counties. He was born at Bradfion in the Year 1625, or 16245 his Father a Royalift, gave h\n\ an ingenuous Education, and he was fent to the Temple to flu- dy the Law. His natural and acquired Abilities were fuch, ic is probable he would have been very confiderable in that Pro- feflion, had he not quitted it, after the Murther of King C/?.^/-/c/, to ierve under his Countryman and Kinfman General Monk» who advanced him from one CommilTion to another, till he gave him the Command of a Regiment. At the Rcftoration, being prefented by the General to the King, he was Knighted, and had a Penilon of lix hundred Pounds per yimium granted to him, his Heirs, and AfTigns for ever, in Conlideration of his Services at that Time; but to ceafc and determine upon his Majeffy's granting him Lands of like Value. The Penfionwas afterwards furrendred upon conveying to him certain Fee- Farm Rents, according to the Terms ot: the Grant of the Penfion. After disbanding the Army, he had no Command till 1667, when upon the Dutih Fleet coming up to ChathAm^ T 2 a Com- 176 The LIFE of from that Time he had faithfully fervcd the Royal Caufe, and befides had fo much Intereft in the Army, that his Service was like to be of no fmall Importance.

Nor indeed after fuch inexpreffible Mercies received from the Hands of the Almighty, could he conceive that any Thing ordinary or vul- gar in the Praftice of Religion, much left what had neither Force nor Spirit, could befeem the Church of England, And this Differtation of his having merited the Praife of his learned Auditors, who were the beft Judges, I was not willing, that even fo fmall a Remain of this excellent Perfon fliould be loft.

The Subjeft of this Hiftory, now Dr. Barwicky returning from Cambridge to Lon- don, found the Minifters of State, and the Governors of the Church very intent upon reftoring to every Cathedral a Dean and Chapter, by whofe folemn Choice a new Bifhop might after the accuftomed Rite be elefted into every See then vacant. And while the King gave order to find out fit Perfons to fill thofe Places,. Dr. Barwick ea- fily obtained, that that grave Divine and honeft Man Mr. Thomas^ Fothergil former- ly his Tutor at Cambridge, to whofe Inftruc- tions he owed his Capacity to ferve his Ma- jefty, might be advanced to a Prebend in the Cathedral of Tork ; being far more foli. citous to gain fome Preferment in the Church for one, to whom he had been fo much indebted, than for himfelf : But as that good old Man by Letter returned him his hearty Thanks, for this Favour, though not very confiderable, bcftow'd on him be- * See above, />. 9, vend 28S rhe LIFE oj yond his Expeftation ; fo through the very great Love he had for the DoQior, he did not ceafe to advife him, and that in more Letters than one, to take Care not of his Friends only, but alfo of himfelf; for he defir'd him to remember, that an Excefs of Modefty was equally blameable vi^ith too much Craving and Importunity : Nay fome, fays he, v^ill poffibly be apt to condemn as faulty even a virtuous laudable Modefty, and to cenfure him of flighting his Maje- fty's Favour, who is too much afraid of feeming to importune him. But Dr. Bar- wicky not only when his Reverend Tutor, but when many others of his Friends en- quired of him, not without Concern, what Share in this publick Diftribution of the Royal Bounty he was like to have, who had done fuch eminent Service, and fufFer- ed fo much Hardfliip -, was usM to anfwer, that it was abundantly enough for him, that after fuch a Series of Calamities, he had lived to fee the King reftor'd to his Throne, Liberty to his Country, and Right to every one '-i and that there was no need at all, that he fliould be importunate with, or trou- blefome to his moft bountiful Prince, who had many Perfons of great Worth, that had DoBor BARWICK. 28^ had deferv'd very well of the Church and of his Majefty, and had therefore Tome Ti- tle to his Favour $ on whom he might be- llow Ecclefiaftical Dignities more conveni- ently: That himfelf was fufficiently provi- ded for by the Munificence of his excellent Patron the Bifliop of Durham t, and that now the ancient Laws were reftor'd, and under the Royal Proteftion were in full Force, he defir'd nothing more, than by his Majefty's Favour to be maintained in his Right, from which the Iniquity of the Times had debarr'd him : For that ex- cellent Prelate had beftow'd on this his moft dear Chaplain, not only a "^ Prebend in *" About the Time ("fays Mr. fVood, Fafti Oxon.

Though the Proceeding of the Lords in reftoring one, who had been de- prived for fcditious Preaching and Non-conformity by his Ma- jefty's High Commiffion Court at Tork {Wood ibid.) might not be very regular ; yet it can hardly be fuppofed, either that Bi- Ihop Morton would fill his Prebend, or Islv.Baiwick accept it on a broken Title, by quitting another, whilft Smart was living.

When Dr. Barwick came to him firft, commiferating his fad Condition, though u'hat he had very juftly deferv'd, he thought it mofl: proper to ad- drefs himfelf to him in Terms neither me- nacing nor any way fevere : He therefore condefcended to in treat him to make no Difficulty of admitting him and Dr. TDolbeUy both Minifters of the Gofpel, and no lefs folicitous for his Salvation than for their ou^n, to a friendly Converfation vi^ith him. But to all that was faid to him, though with the utmoft Candor, he anfwered with fo much Surlinefsa Negligence, and Stupi- dity, and fo little to the Purpofe, that Dr. T^olben perceiving how little that gentle Method availed, was of Opinion, and that juftly, that he ought to be treated with more Sharpnefs, to roufe him, if it were poffible, from this Lethargick Unconcern* ednefs for his better Part. He therefore ad-* vis'd him to remember, that he had but a few Hours left, to difcharge himfelf before God (who is always prefent and merciful I to 2^8 The LIFE of to the Penitent) of that immenfc Load of Wickednefs wherewith he had burthend his Confcience, drowfy and harden'd as it was; that thofe precious Minutes were not by any Means to be wafted in Shuffling, and faying what was nothing to the Purpofe 5 and that he ought to think it a Matter of no little Moment, in what manner he in- tended the next Day to tranfmit his Soul into an unfathomable Abyfs of Eternity. But he was deaf to all that either of them could fay, and had fo ftop'd his Ears againft the Admonitions not only of thefe two excel- lent Perfons, but of thofe alfo who were his Accomplices in the fame Crime, and were to fufFer with him; and had fo per- fectly fliook off all Senfe of Piety and Re- ligion (if ever he had any) that they earn- eftly requefted thefe Divines to intercede with his Majefty, that a Perfon fo deaf to all Advice, and fo impenetrable to their facred Miniftrations, might not be hurried into another World, till he were brought, if poffible, to a better Senfe of his Condi- tion. The chief of thefe was John Cooky who yet had made no Scruple that very Day to vindicate and defend this Wretch, in reality the Scandal and Reproach of the Pulpit, DoBor BAR WICK. ipp Pulpit, againft that incomparable Divine Dr.Gunningy when he wasadmonifhing him friendly of the Heinoufnefs of the Crimes he had committed 5 and to extol him as the brightcft Example of true Holinefs, by whom more Souls had been gained to Chrift, than by any other Perfon in this Age. But Dr. ^olben and Dr. Barwick did not dare to promife, that they fhould be able to obtain of his Majefty any farther Refpite of his Ex- ecution 5 left that being flatterM with the falfe Hope of protrafbing his Life, he fliould grow more obdurate to their facred Admo- nitions : Nor, fay they, does the Grace of the holy Spirit ftand in need of fuch flow Methods, as not readily to offer itfelf eve- ry Hour to fuch as defire to repent in earn- eft. Accordingly the next Day, together with Cooky he was drawn upon a Sledge to Execution, ftill fliewing the utmoft Aver- fion to all good Counfel, and even to the Advice of Cook himfelf, feeming to believe very little in that God, whom he had fo often invoked to patronize his impious Re- bellion : Having this however (alas ! how little this) of a good Man, that he no lon- ger endeavour'd with a falfe Pretence of Sanc- tity to iu a Grace upon the worft Caufe iri the World. la '^oo The LIFE of In what is faid above we have had a very illuftrious Teftimony given by his Majefty himfelf, how much more earneftly Dv.

And indeed his moft excellent Maje- fty thought it proper to promote him to p Mr. SAcheverel in his Account of the Iflc of Man (p. 1 18.) tells us, Mr. Rutfer was fworn Bifliop -4'w;o 1661: That he had been Archdeacon of Man, and governed the Church with great Prudence during the late Wars: That he was a Man of exemplary Goodnefs and Moderation, and fat Bifliop to the Year 1663, and was then fucceeded by Dr. Ifaac Barrovo^ after- wards Bifliop of St. ji/aph, and thereupon obferves Mr. Wood^s Miftake, who (^Athen.

At T>Hrham he enjoy'd a very large Revenue, wherewith he both repaired the publick Buildings facrilegioufly ruin'd, and relieved the Poor, and kept Hofpitali- ty, entertaining Strangers of all Ranks, not delicately indeed (which he never afFefted) yet handfomely and generoufly. But above all Things his chief Care was, that God's moft pure Worlhip fliould be celebrated with the utnmoft Decency (which by the Rage of the Fanaticks had been long abo- lifhed both at Durham and Houghton) and that a Bifhop Ihould be chofen for the Con- folation of the Widow Church. His next Concern was, that all the Prebendal Hou- fes, and efpecially the decayed Fabrick of the Cathedral, (hould not only be every Way fecurM againft the Injuries of the Weather, but alfo embelliQi'd with fuch Ornaments, as became the Houfe of God. He took Care likewife to ere£t a Grammar School from the Ground, and make it a Nurfery of good Literature: He brought Water into the College to fupply the Oc- cafions of all the Prebendaries Houfes : He took upon himfelf with great Rcadinefs and Affeftion, DoBor BARWICK. 303 Affeftion, and with a moft holy Zeal, both to bring all the Officers of the Church un- . der good Difcipline, and to a regular Life, and to augment the Stipends and Salaries of the poorer Sort, not only of the Mother Church, but of all the Churches which de- pended upon it : And the venerable Chap- ter not only gave their Confent to all this, but moft readily join'd their helping Hand to promote it. [Yet they were fo far from exaQing in the Matter of Fines upon fuch as had Leafes of the Church Lands, and were fo beneficent to all the Poor, that in an Age very little favourable to the Clergy, they are mentioned with Honour to this Day for their Humanity, Candor, and Pi- ety. Nay in many Cafes they were fo boun- tiful, as to recede from their own Right in favour of their SuccelTors, that the Reve- nues of the Church might defcend to them withfome Augmentation.] But how much even in a few Months they deferved of that prefent Age, and how much of Pofterity, will appear more evidently from the Things done about that Time, and regifter'd in the Archives of the Church of T>ttrham, than from any Thing I can fay of them. But the Regifter of that Church; who had furviVd the 304 TToe L I F E of the late Troubles, being uncapable of per-» forming his OiEce for want of underftand- ing Latin, the Trouble of regiftring the Orders of the Chapter lay generally upon Dr. Barwick alone, who performM the Of- fice not only of the Dean, but of the Re- gifter, though he enjoyM but a mean Share of Health during that whole Winter. So unwilling was he at any Time to fpare him- felf, where it was in his Power to ferve the Church ; and fo careful that nothing Ihould be tranfmitted to Pofterity, which could in the leaft reflefl: on that Fidelity, wherewith he adminifter'd his great Charge in the Church.

About the middle of OEiober 1661, Dr. Barwick undertook this new and difficult Charge, with a Habit of Body broken by Care and Pains, but with a Mind fuffici- ently rais'd : His firft Care at London was, what it had been alfo at T>urhamj to reftore the Celebration of Divine Service by the facred Mufick of a Choir, which had for I know not what Reafon been hitherto omit- ted. [Some fay that the Dean his Predecef- for had till then purpofely abftained from that Method of Celebration, in Hopes by Iktle and little thereby to abate the Envy of the SeGaries. But their Envy at that Time did not feem to be of fuch Moment, if an Eftimate thereof were made from the Force they were able to exert in the then late Eledions of Parliament Men. Befides that fo good a Man, as we muft think that Dean was, is reverenc'd even by fuch as are bad. It feems more probable, that this and fome other Things, which might have been for the Service of the Church, were omitted by that excellent Perfon, only be- caufe of his ill Health: For he died within X 4 lefs 312 The LIFE of lefs y than a Year after he took Pofleflion of the Deanery. It is certain Dr. Barwick was not much concerned for the Envy of the Seftaries, if he lay under it. What af- fefted him a great deal more was, that he found the College of Minor Canons to thac Time, not only negligent of God's Worfhip, but fill'd with Men for the greateft part very unfit at leaft to celebrate it in a Church one of the nioft renov/n'd in the whole Chri- ftian World. The Number of thofe Ca- nons in this College is twelve 5 and it is en- dow'd with a particular Revenue fuiEcient, if duly managed, to maintain them. Of this Number, after the Civil War, there \aas only one left, who had been fully and ab- folutely admitted into the Right of a Ca- non.

Yet this only furviving Canon (withthofe two Probationers or Candidates, taken in only to make a fhew of Collegues) had claimM to himfelf the Right of the whole Body, had laid his Hands on the great- eft part of the College Revenue, nor ad- mitted any one to fupply the Number of Canons, but fuch as would freely confent to be fo defrauded. Dr. Barwick thought no Pains too much to regulate this Abufe, and wipe off fo fhameful a Blemifli from the Church. Nor were there wanting a- mong thofe learned in the Law fome of great Note, who thought the Matter very pradicablcj yet what he would at length have been able to do, if he had enjoy 'd better Health and longer Life, is not eafy to conjefture: So hard a Matter it often is to undo what ought not to have been done. Dr. Barwick was yet more concerned for this foul Practice, when he heard that the Man who had taken upon him to fuftain the 314 Tl^e LIFE of the whole College in his own Perfon, had never been admitted to Prieft's Orders, which yet, by the Statutes, all the Canons of this Church are obligM to be. It is certain that for thirty Years he had very feldom or ne- ver been Teen to perform Divine Service in St. Taul^s Cathedral; whether it were thro* Neglefl: of his holy Office, or that he dread- ed (as it was fit he fhould) to touch what was facred with prophane Hands : Yet when the Rebels expos'd a Farm of his College to falc, he did not dread employing one un- der-hand to purchafe it for him : He did not dread in a hoflile manner ejeQing the Tenant of that Farm (though an honeft Man, who for many Years had lawfully en- joy'd it) and that with no little Lofs both of his Cattle and Goods : He did not dread felling the fame Farm afterwards for his Advantage, and again redeeming it, a moft impudent Barterer of the facred Revenue of the Church, at the fame Time that he would have been accounted one of her Friefts. Nay after his Death the Perfon that held this Farm in Truft for him, was not afliam'd to folicite tiie Chapter then re- ftor'd to its Rights, to poftpone the ancient rightful Tenant;, and admit him, as having a jult DoBor BARWICK. 31J a juftand lawful Title to the Farm. And indeed he gave Dr. Barwick no little Trou- ble, for prefuming to reject this Requeft as unreafonable ; and not queftioning but he had Intereft enough to raifeagainft him the Indignation not of the Parliament only, but even of the King, he fill'd all Men's Ears with the moft unjuft Complaints againft him, not to give them a harder Name, Yen Dr. Barwick, a rigid Aflertor of what was right and good, refolvM to bear all this Envy, till the Cafe being more fully exa- mined, he afterwards happily removed it, and obtained leave for himfelf and the Chap- ter to let the Farm to a jufter Tenant. Nor was this the only Inftance, wherein that Perfon's Covetoufnefs of what belonged to others, failed of the Succefs he wifh'd : For befides that mentioned, there was another Portion of the Church Revenue, which did not ftick to his pitchy Fingers, namely the Tythes of St. Gregorys^ which he had got from his Brethren almoft for nothing, and procured to be leas'd out for twenty one Years to the fame Perfon, whofe Name he had made ufe of before : Befides he had con- trived againft all Right and Juftice, and to the Prejudice of his Collegues, to diminifli fome 3i<$ The LIFE of fomewliat oF the ancient Revenue, which us'd to be paid yearly to his CoUege , though it was before very fmall. But our Laws are fofevere againft thofe that injure the Church in this manner, that they provide no lefs a Punifliment for fuch OrTenders, than that a Leafe of that fort is judged ab- ibkiteiy null and void, and the Eflate comes intire to the SucceiTor, to be by him leasM out at Pleafure to any one: And the new Dean was fo much offended with the Gree^ dinefs of this ill Man, that he took effeflual Care to obtain that Sentence of the Law againft him. But though Dr. Barwick was fo ftrenuous an Aifertor of the Rights of the Church, that he was not afraid to plead his Caufe before the publick Judicatories of the Kingdom, nor even before his Majefty himfelf in Council, as often as he faw the Eftate of his venerable Mother the Church m Danger, which by the Religion of an Oath he had obligM himfelf to preferve un- touclVd : Yet he was fuch a Lover of Peace, that he often yielded up much of his own particular Right ; always allowing private Differences to be referred to private Arbi- tration, tho' fometimes to his own no little DamagCc Whea DoBor BARWICK, 317 When therefore the Rights of the Church were hardly fecure enough from thofe, whom the Church her felf had carefully nourifli'd in her Bofom ; how willingly would thofe without her Pale, who had always openly fpurnM at her, their moft holy Mother, catch at this Opportunity to offer Violence to her? For this Reafon the Dean thought it proper humbly to implore his Majefty's ProteQion on this Occafion, and to obtaia two Royal Grants under the Broad Seal, one for Repairing the decay'd Walls of the Cathedral, the other for taking Care of its Privileges and Immunities, extinguifliM in the late Rebellion, and not yet fuiBciently reftor'd. Nor did he only ufe his utmoft Endeavours to defend againfl: her Enemies the Church under the Divine Providence committed to his Charge 5 but fometimcs alfoemploy'd his Care, that /he fliould not fuffer by the Imprudence of her Friends ; if peradventure they did any Thing with no ill Defign, which Poftericy might draw in. to a Precedent to her hurt. Hence it was, that when the Lord Mayor of London (while the Dean was in the Country taking the Air for his Health) had orderM him- ielf a new Seat to be made in St. Tauts I Church 3i8 The LIFE of Church at the Expence of the City ; as foon as the Dean heard of it, he prefs'd that honourable Perfon, in more than one Letter, to permit the Church, to whom the Care of thofe Matters properly belonged, to excufe the City from that Expence ; and took Care, that Copies of the Letters which he wrote upon that Occafion, were tran- fcrib'd into the authentick Regifters of the Church, left poffibly the City, let into a Miftake by fuch a Precedent, might after- wards claim fome Right in a Church, which, under God and the King, is altogether free. But to return to the Ruins of this Fa- brick. It was evident the Condition there- of was fo deplorable, as far exceeded the Abilities of the Chapter to repair, and re- quir'd even at that Time (alas how much more after the dreadful Fire of London /) the Affiftance not only of all the Clergy, but of all Orders of Men 5 efpecially when every good Man, who had been promoted to any confidcrable Dignity in the Church, had freely and liberally contributed both to the Payment of the publick Debts, and to the Ranfoming of Chriftian Captives Abroad from the barbarous Tyranny of the Turks ^ and DoEior BARWICK. 31^ and alfo to the Relief of the Poor of all forts at Home, who were languifliing up and down almoft every where.

Thel? together with the Dean are four, having each an equal Dividend with him of the common Income of the Church. They compaflionating (as was but meet) the difmal Eftate of the Fabrick, did not only by an unanimous Order of Chapter appoint all the Rents of the Houfes lately built ia St. Tauh Church'Tard^ both then due, and afterwards as they fhould become due, to be fet apart for the Repairs of it 5 but every * one of them like wife out of his own Poc- ket gave five hundred Pounds for the fame Ufe, when Dr. Barwick had been fo little a while Dean of this Church, as befides that * Thefe befides Dr. Barrvick the Dean, were Dr. Thomas Turner, Dr. John Hacket, and Dr. Edwnrd Lay/Jeld, Synod.

Little of what belonged to the Dean in par- ticular happened to be leas'd out in his Time, except one Houfe in the City ,• in letting which he made a confiderable Abatement to his own Lofs, in favour of a certain Gen- tleman of London^ of whom he had for- merly receiv'd a hundred Pounds towards his Majefty's Support in his Exile : For the good Dean was fo affeflied with this Inftance of Piety to his Prince in Diftrefs, that when the Price agreed for this Floufe did not ex- ceed three hundred Pounds, he yet willing- ly remitted a third Part thereof to a Perfon that had defer vM fo wefl of the King and of the Church. There were fome of the Clergy at that Time (though perhaps undefervedly ) not fo well fpo- ken of upon this Article , as feeming more intent on their private Gain, than be- came that Junfture of Time, and a little too rigid Exaftors of their Right, now im- mediately after fo great Calamities. But I may venture to fay, that Dr. Barwick never gave any juft Occafion for Complaints of this Nature, whether any thing belonging to the Dean in particular were to be leafed out DoBor BARWICK. 321 out by him alone, or any part of the pub- lick Eftate of the Church, in Conjunftion with the Refidentiaries. Indeed the Chap- ter a£l:ed fo generoufly with the learned Society of London Phyficians, that they let them that noble Houfe, where their College us'dto meet, without any Fine j when they might each to his own Share have made a hundred Pounds out of that Leafe. They only defirM, without any Stipulation, that when they fliould fee the Repairs of the Cathedral carrying on with any Diligence, they would not fcruple every one to con- tribute fomething to promote fo charitable a Work ; as they hoped many other worthy Perfons would readily do, though under no other Obligations to them, than for their Prayers daily offered up to God. For thus they, who had the Care of this Church, thought it moft proper to difcharge that Truft, fo as not to render themfelves un- worthy either of the Ecclefiaftical Patrlmo. ny, or of the Royal Proteftion, or of every good Man's Approbation and Praife; (top- ping the impure Mouths of thofe envious and malicious Perfons, who arealmoft eve- ry where blading the Reputation of the Clergy : And as often as their Farms in the Y Country 3ZZ The LIFE of Country were to be vifited, that the Church might fufFer no Lofs in her Woods, or Lands, or Houfes, the Dean (tho* he enjoy'd but ill Health, and was to make his Progrefs thro' thofe Parts of Effex^ where the Air is not very wholfome) was not willing that either himfelf or his Brethren (hould be wanting to this Duty i left if they had left an Affair of fuch Moment to Commiflioners or other Truftees (in that State of Things not yet fufficiently recovered from the late Difturb- ances) whoever they had employed might either have been negligent in the Care of what was not their own , or perhaps have dealt more hardly with the Tenants, than had been decent for the Matters of the Lands themselves to have done. Nay when he was now fo ill, that his Friends thought him altogether unfit to take the Journey , and having enterM upon it , actually began to faint by the Way ; yet he was hardly perfuaded to entruft the Bu- finefs with others 5 he had the Reputation of the Clergy fo much at Heart, which he tacitly fear'd would fufferfrom the Avarice or Imprudence of one or other. But among all thofe religious Defigns which employed his daily Thoughts, there was ^as none he efteem'd and defir'd to efFeft more (even from the Time the Church was firft reftor'd, and cleans'd from the Errors which had defil'd it) than that the holy Communion fhould be oftner admini- ftred in that famous Church committed to his Charge, than it had ever usM to be hitherto. For he could not but be a (Lam- ed when he read the Kubrick (as many o- ther good Men alfo were) as often as he obferved, that it is there enjoinM in exprefs Words, that *' in Cathedral and Collegiate ^' Churches and Colleges, where there are " many Priefts and Deacons, they fhall all ^^ receive the Communion ^vith the Priefl: *' every Sunday at the leaft, except they " have a reafonable Caufe to the contrary, " Which moft wholfome Appointment he faw fo much neglected almoft every where, that there were far lefs frequent Occafions, thaa was meet, of partaking of the myftical Ban- quet of Chrifts Body and Blood. Nor was he willing to think fo hardly and fo difhonour- ably of the greateft and moft famous City in the World (wherein he knew many ex- cellent and pious Perfons, utter Enemies to the wild Opinions of the Sedaries) as not to be able to exped from thence a fufficienc Y 2 Number 324 The LIFEoj Number of Communicants ready to prcfenC themfelves at their Lord's holy Table, as often as the Laws of the Church require ; efpecially, if in Sermons the People were diligently admonifh'd, and clearly inftrufled concerning fo holy and neceflary a Duty, fo agreeable to the Standard of Primitive Piety, and the Example of the Apoftolick Age. For what Sight could be more worthy of God, Angels, and Men, than after Mercies receiv'd from the Almighty, which no Time fhould ever efface out of pious Minds, to fee the People often proftratc on the holy Pavement, humbly ftretching out their Hands to God, and out of pure Hearts as it were continually offering him their high- eft Praifes and Euchariftick Vows ?3 But while Dr, Barwick was employ'd ift the Difcharge of this Province, he was cal- led to another and a more fublime Degree of Dignity, to which the Order of Presby- ters in our Church has none equally either illuftrious or difficult : For by the unani- mous Suffrage of all the Clergy of the Pro- vince of Canterbury aflembled in Convoca- tion, he was chofen Prefident of the Col- lege of Presbyters, or (as it is commonly caird) called) 2 Prolocutor. But the Favour and good Will of thofc who advanced him to that Dignity, gave him far more Pleafure, than the Dignity it felf; when he found plainly, that fome whofe Intereft it was ve- ry much, that the Praftice of Religion fliould be zealoufly promoted, were not yet hearty enough in their Endeavours to reftore the decay'd Difcipline of the Church. But if the Convocation had thought fit, they might have confulted the Reputation of the Cler^ gy better, cither by reviving thofe old Laws, which the late Schifm had rendered obfo- lete, or by making new ones, as in their Prudence they Ihould have ken Occafion. But. who they were that prevented laying hold of an Opportunity of doing the Church that Service, it is not lawful to conjefturc, where the Cafe is invidious, and perhaps * On the 18''' of Febminry 1661, in the Place of Dr. Henry Fearne, on his Promotion to the See of Chefter.

Yet to the very great Grief of all good Men, thefe Preparations came all to nothing : For the Endeavours of many, though very hearty, WQVQ wholly fruftrated by one or two, oa whom this Matter chiefly depended. But this negleft of the Affairs of Religion was Matter of fo much Anguifh to Dr. Barwick^s pious Mind, that I have heard him give vent to his Grief in Expreflions to this Purr pofe; that neither the defperate Difeafe he formerly laboured under, nor the Severity of his Confinement, nor Death itfelf, nor the Torture he was often threatned with, were ever fo grievous to him: For who that was not abfolutely divefted, I will not fay of all Religion, but of common Huma- nity, could with an even Mind have born to fee expofed to fale in the Bookfellers Shops publickly and with Impunity, Prin- ciples worthy of the direft Anathemas, fuch DoEior BARWICK. 317 as thefe following, viz. ^ That the Murther of the King, and other atrocious Crimes perpetrated by the late Rebels, were Fafts done by Perfons not ufing their free Will, but neceflarily complying with the Will of God i and that God himfelf is both the Au. thor and Perfuader, not only of all Good, but of all Evil 5 nay that nothing is in its own Nature either good or evil, any farther than as it is forbid or permitted by the mu- nicipal Laws of every Government? Un- der the Shelter and Proteftion of thefe Prin- ciples, fuch Impiety as hardly any Age had heard of, difdaining its fecret Receffes and Obfcurity, was not afliamed to put out its dreadful Head, and with great Arrogance ftalk publickly through the open Streets, as a moft unlucky Omen, and melancholy pre- fage of thofe Calamities which foon after followed.

For this was but too evident, that there were fome at that Time, who on the Re- ftoration of the Monarchy did not anfwer the Expeftation conceived of them under itsOppreffion, rather chufing to make wafte of, and deftroy all the EfFe£ls of God's im- menfe Bounty, than reap any Advantage for the Times to come from a Succefs of Affairs, that far furpafsM all Men's Hopes : So much more diiBcuIt it is to bear Profpe- rity than Adverfity. By thefe Evils chiefly overcome (as many thought) the Lady Savile^ that illuftrious Example of Piety towards God, and Love to her Country, about this Time refigned her Breath, eafily yielding to a Diftemper contrafted from her wearinefs of an Age fo wicked and fo ungrateful to God, unfhaken as file had flood againft the fecret Confpira- cies and open Force of the moft inveterate Enemies of the Crown. When fhe found her DoBor BARWICK. 319 her Difeafe increafe upon her, leaving the Town, fhe went to her Houfe at Wimpble in Cambridgejhire, and fent for Dr. Barwick to her from London^ defirous to make ufe of his pious Miniftrations in her laft Extre- mity, whofe Conftancy in both Fortunes fhe had often experienced, as well as his Counfel in doubtful, and his Fidelity in dif- ficult Affairs : And, a Year and a half after the Reftoration, fhe gave up her great and innocent Soul to God. Not long after her Death, Dr, Barwick alfo, from a Diligence in the Management of the Affairs of the Church exerted beyond his Strength, labouring by any Means to remedy the Evils now mentioned, relapfed into his old Diftemper, which had been fo near deftroying him formerly. About the end of November^ 1662, he began to be very ill, and was fome Months confined to his Chamber ; only that at Chrijimas he would not be wanting to his Cathedral, though his Diftemper had given him little or no Refpit : So earneftly defirous was he to encourage the Devotion of the Citizens affembling themfelves together at the holy Communion, to join in their moil: facred Vows, and offer them up to God 5 with his 330 the LIFE of his own Hand, though very weak and in- firm with his Diftemper, willingly reaching forth to fuch as defired them, the moft ho- ly Myfteries of our Lord's Paffion. Nor would he have thought much, if in the Difchargeof his OiBce he fliould have yield- ed to Mortality, to which even the llothful and idle mufl: be at laft obliged to yield. And indeed he paid but too dear for this Zeal for Religion, of which he, that had fet his Heart fo much upon Heaven, had yet little Occafion to repent: For by too much Agitation of the Blood in officiating at the Altar, there feemed to be raifed a mutual Conflict between its fulphurcous and faline Particles,- from whence he was feiz'd with a moft violent Cough, and a very CfFenfive Stench of Breath, altogether like that which is ufed to ftrike the Noftrils of Chymifts, when they are preparing what they call Sal Sulphuris^ and other Salino- fulphureous Medicaments. This Cough, which grievoufly difturb'd him Day and Night, was followed with an exceffive Dit charge of Blood from his Breaft, in fuch Quantities as filPd whole Bafins. On this deplorable Cafe there was a Confultation of the moft eminent Phyficians, who all agreed, DoBor BARWICK. 331 agreed, that that immoderate Ebullition of Blood was to be affwaged by frequent Bleed- ing, and proper tempering Medicines. But they were not all of one Mind with Regard to what Benefit might be expefted from the Change of Air. Some were of Opinion, that, above all Things, he ought to be re- moved, even at any Seafon of the Year, from the Air of the City, thickenM with Salino-fulphureous Vapours arifing from the Soot and Smoak of the Coals : Others were afraid, that the Parts about hisBreafl: would receive more Damage than Advantage from thinner Air, till it was become more mild and gentle, which could not be expeded at Mid^Winter. Dr. Barisuick himfelf was more inclined to the Opinion of the latter, not only becaufe they were Perfons of great Age, and much Experience in Phyfickj but becaufe he himfelf could attend the Affairs of the Church, on which his Thoughts were always employed, more conveniently at Home than Abroad. For it is hardly credible, ev^n after fo prodigious an Eva- cuation of Blood, how cheerfully and inde- fatigably he ftill laboured in his daily Bufi- nefs: But at laft, after many Remedies ap- plied to no Purpofe, his Strength continually I decaying 332 The LIFE of decaying through an immenfe Lofs of Blood, he removed into the Country, rather fore d by the Importunity of his Diftemper, than perfuaded by the Advice of his Friends. There was no Place he defirM to retire to more, than Ther field in Hertfcrdjhire : For he had lately taken that Redory % and could have lodg'd there in his own Parfon- age-Houfe, fituated in a very free and pure Air.

This was the only In- ftance wherein he fliew'd the leaft Reluft- ance in obeying their Commands; m all others perhaps no Man was ever more obe- dient to his Ecclefiaftical Superiors, and rea- dier to comply with their Orders: Nor in- deed was there any Thing that I know of, wherein Dr. Barwick was more to blame, than that the repeated Admonition of his Friends could not prevail with him to take due Care of his Health. There was nothing indeed fo grievous to him, as what he in- terpreted deeping away his Lifs in Sloth and DoBor BARWICK. 333- and Idlenefsj when it was the Duty of all good Men to unite their Forces as it were in a Body, and fupport the Church, which was every Day in more Danger of falling. Nay, faid he, with what Face can I live Jo plentifully on the Revenue of that Church, to which I cannot lend my poor Afliltance ? And yet there very feldom palled one Day, wherein he did not (as his Duty required) aflPord his helping Hand to his mofl: facred Mother, by^ writing Letters to his Agents at London. Befides all this, and his confl:ant reading of the holy Scriptures, and ftated Hours of private Devotion, which he ob- ferved daily (that he might even in his Country Retirement do the Church all the Service he could) he did not think much to read over, and put into Order whole Loads of Papers and old Manufcriprs % mofl: written in ancient Charadlers, and the " Sir Wdlkm DugJale, in his Mrodit^'m to the HifiOry of St. TauVs Cathedral (/>. 27. Edit. 2.) tells us, that all thofe venera- ble Chartularies and Records belonging to that ancient and famous Church, which upon the facrilet^-ious and ravenous Sei- zure of the Deans and Chapters Lands throughout this whole Nation by the Long Parliament, coming to the Hands of one Mr, John ^eadmg^ Ch2\r:m2.n of the Commitree for ordering the PofTcliions thereof, were by Reading cafuajly communicated to 33<$ The LIFE of the writing half worn out with Age, which in the late Times of Diftradion had been taken out of the Archives of the Church, and thrown together confufedly in a great Heap : and he fo carefully endorfed all thefe Papers, which had been omitted in Ages before, that it appeared at firft fight, what the Subject of every Particular was. Nor would he fuffer himfelf to be dragg'd from thefe old mufty Volumes (though the Stench of them could not but be very offenfive and prejudicial to his infefted Lungs) whe- ther it was that he well knew every one was not capable of doing this Bufinefs, or that he thought it concerned him above all Things, not to be ignorant of the ancient Rights of the Church, which were to be learnt from fuch Writings as thefe. He did not bear thefe Studies (it feems) with- out great Inconvenience : For when he went out to fee his old Friend the Reverend Dr. to him (Sir William) whence (fays he) having reduced them QUt Qt no little Confufion, and extradied what I have faid in my cnfuing Difcourfe of this Cathedral, 1 kept them in my Hands during the whole Time of the late Ufurpation \ and ifoon after his late Majefty was moil happily reflored, did faithfully deliver them unto the then worthy Dean Dr. Bar- nick% by whom being carefully laid up, they arc ftill preferved for the benefit of after Ages. ^ Bushy, DoEior BARWICK, 337 Busby^ the celebrated Mafter of Weflmin- fter School (who was alfo retirM to Chifwick for fome Refrefhment in his toilfome Em- ployment) in the midft of the Way on a fudden he was feiz'd with an immoderate Efflux of Blood. Now it happen.Mat that Time, that fome Travellers pafled by, of that fort, it feems, who bear a great Ha- tred to the Clergy, without any Ground : For as if they had been delighted with this fight 5 behold, fay they, one of Baah Priefts, drunk with red Wine, and difcharging his overloaded Stomach, There was certainly no Man living, againfl: whom they could with more Injuftice have thrown this cur- fed Dart, of apoyfon'd Tongue : For it was about fifteen Years fince he had tafted the leafl: drop of Wine, except at the holy Sa- crament, continually tempering and diluting the Heat of his Blood with cold Spring Water only. As foon as the good Dean was able to take Breath after this Fit of vomiting Blood, little mov'd with fo un- worthy a Reproach, and wifliing his Re- vilers a better Miadj thefe Calumnies, faid he, ought to be refuted only by our good Deeds: For it was no new or unac- cuftomM Thing at that Time, after the Z Barriers 338 The LIFE of Barriers of the Church were broken down, that the beft Men fufFer'd the Punifhment due to the worft, even from fuch as were thevileft Wretches themfelves; if there be any Punifhment in being barbaroufly re- vil'd with villainous Inveflives. Thus if any of the Clergy worn out with old Age and former Calamities, made ufe of a Staff to fupport his aged weak Limbs, as he walk- ed along the Streets; he was pointed at as one, that through Drunkennefs was not a- ble to govern his Steps. If he lookM ear- neftly round about with his dim Eyes, to find out any Place he was to go to in the City; fome infolent Scoffer would thus refleS: upon him : That Parfon has devoured five fat Livings, and fee with what prying Eyes he is feeking after a fixth. Indeed I knew this fevere Reflexion caft upon one, who had not only refusM a Benefice de- fervedly offer'd him, but had voluntarily refign'd thofe he had accepted, becaufe he thought his ill Health rendered him unca- pable to take due Care of them.

But that I may now finifh this Life in a few Words : This laft Fit of voiriiting Blood, with which Dr. Barwick was feizM, feem'd to be more dangerous than all the reft ; not only becaufe the Evacuation was in a larger Quantity, than any he had had before at Chifwick J but becaufe it^ was preceded s Mr. Herbert ThornMe, fometime Fellow of Trinity College in Cambridge, Prodlor of that Univerfity Am& 1638, and Rec- tor of B^r/^ in Hertford/hire y 1642, eledled Mafter of Sidney College on the Death of Dr. Ward, 1643, but kept out of ic by the Oppreffion of the Times.

But though at London there were not want- ing good Men, and hearty good Friends of the Doftor's, who willingly fupplied his Office both of Dean and Prolocutor : Yet he would long before that have refign'd both thofe Places to fuch as had better Health to difcharge them, if he had not been hinderM more by the Commands of the Bifliops, who were very kind and in- dulgent to him in his Ulnefs, than by the Perfuafions of others : For he had fixM his Eyes on the Parifh of Therfield alone, greatly defiring to enjoy only that Retire- ment, at Liberty from all publick Bufinels. For this Reafon he would not let out any part of that Parfonage to farm, but kept it all in his own Hands, and had the Corn laid up in his Barns, though as it happened not without great Lofs ; but refolving to llead a private Life free from the Noife of the D^c^^f^ BAR WICK. 341 the Publick, he was willing the Produ£t of his Living fhould be ready for the ufe of his Family.

This In- formation, as well as many others, I owe to my learned good Friend Mr. John Worthitigton^ A. M. one of the deprived Fel- lows of St, Peter's CoW&gQin Cambridge, who finds this Particular in a Letter of his Father's the Reverend Dv.John Worthington, fometime Mafter of fefus College in the fame Univerfity, who was prefent at the Funeral, which by the Date of that Letter appears to have been foleraniz'd on the 27''^ of October 1664. Dr. Worthington was at that Time Preacher at St. Bsnet Fink in London \ but had entered up9n that Cure only \\\ Juneht'ioxQy for the Rectory o'^ that Church being tlieii held by Leafe from the College of Wmdfor by one of the Canons or Prebendaries of that College, and Dr. Worthington having an Offer of the Leafe, he was not willing at that Time to accept it, chufmg rather to have the Place pro tempore from the faid Prebendary, then immediately from the College, and accordingly he entered upon it in June 1664, whereas Mr. Wood {Ftijii Oxon. Vol. 2. Col. 7f ?.) makes him to have been Re£lor of St. Benet Fink, in the Times of Ufurpation, a Mi flake as grofs, as that other which accompanies it, viz,, that the Dr. was then efeemed by all (t Presbyterian: He fhould have faid an Armmian, a Name Z 4 wherewith 344 ^^^^ LIFE of His Epitaph was compofed by Mr. Sa- muel wherewith the mofl Orthodox Clergy of the Church of 'Eng- hnd were branded at that Time i and Dr. Worthingtm among the reft, as his Son has been afTured by a Doctor of Divinity, that was a Si\idtnt\n Cambridge at the fame Time. He had been bred up in that Church from his Infancy, and received her Orders both of Deacon and Priefl: in the moft difcouraging Times, and when it was accounted Criminal, viz.. Anno 1 64,6, This appears from his Letters of Orders now in his Son's Hands, and his Teftimonial from 'Emanuel College in Cam- bridge, of which he was then Fellow, fubfcribed by feveral of the Fellows, and among the reft by Mr. Sancrofi, then his im- mediate Junior in that Society, and afterwards Archbiftiop of Canterbury: For rhofc two, and fome few others in that Uni- verfity, by the Connivance of thofe who tendered the Cove- nant, kept their Fellowftiips, though they never took it. He was indeed Mafter of fefus College fome Years before the Re- ftoration ; but as he was not the Intruder upon Dr. Sterne, the rightful iMafter, who had been ejcifced many Years beforej €0 it was at the Requeft of the Fellows of the College, that he accepted the Mafterfhip againft his own Inclination, which (as appears from feveral of his Letters to Dr. Sterne and others) was to a more private and retired Life, during Times he was no Friend to, as, he {-jlvs, was well known to fome, and in- ilaaces particularly in Dr. Hammond and Mr, Thrijicrofsy and might have added Bifhop Juxon and Archbiftiop Sheldon, who were his great Friends. That was the Reafon, no doubt, that he was never entrufted, by thofe then at the Helm, as he ob- ferves, with any of their Ordinances orCommifTions, pafting, even in the Mafterfhip, a retired, and, he hoped, a good Life i his Words are, berie. Utui, and I hope, be?it: vixi, fiudying to promote ingenuous Learning, Piety, Peace, Candor, and Mode- ration, infomuch that, as he tells Dr. Sterne^ that when he took his Place, he would more willingly have left it to him : fo that Doftor told him, he was glad the College at laft fell into his Hands. From feveral other ot his Letters it alfo appears, that he prcac'ied at St. Bcna Fink all the Plague Time, and could not be perfuaded to remove from that Danger, and leave the Parifli dcftitute, though he preached there only pro tempore, and tf^ePirice was snother's, Inftead therefore of going to St. Al- ban's, DoBor BARWICK. 345 mtiel 1 Howlet Fellow of St. Johrf'^ College, a Perfon of Learning and Judgment much beyond his Age (for Re was not yet twenty) and bm'^i as his Friends there prefTed him by Letters, with an Of- fer of providing Lodgings tor him ■■, when Houfes were very- dear near London^ he took one for his Family at Hackney, and went weekly to London himfelf. From 'Sebrueiry i8, 166^, till the Fire of London he preached alfo the Le6lure at St. Bemt Fink, the former Ledlurer being dead. Soon after the Fire, Dr. Henry More of Chrijl College in Cambridge, prefented him to the Redtory of Ingoldsby> a good Living near Grantham in LincolnJIjire, and Archbilhop Sheldon procured him one of the" Prebends of Lincoln ibon after. From Ingoldsby he removed to Hackney y being chofen Ledturer there with a Subfcription com- mencing from Lady-Day 1670, and the Church of St. Benet Fink being then rebuilding, he thought fit to fue to the Chapter of Windfor to have that Leafe renewed to him on the Surrendry of it by one of the Canons, and was fo effectually recommended by Archbilhop Sheldon to the Dean of Windfor^ Dr. Ryvesy on that Behalf, that his Suit was granted i but fome Difficulties arifing about the Form of the Leafc, with Regard to the Parfonage Houfe decreed to be rebuilt, e'er it could be drawn he fell ill, and died at Hackney towards the end of November, iCyi, and was interr'd in the Chancel there.

Yet perhaps it may have been lawful for GaudeUy though for none elfe (at leaft in order to get a Biflioprick, and purchafe the beft Revenues of the Church) to dare with a facrilegious Hand to do that againft thofe moft facred Remains of the Royal Martyr, (apparently his Majefty's by fo many Tokens and by all forts of Right) which it would have been accounted a Wickednefs to be detefted of all Men, to attempt againft the Property of any of his fellow Subjeds.

Af- ter the King's Murther he was made Lieutenant General of the Parliament Army in Ireland^ and Lord-Deputy for a Time, on the Death of Ireton, In Oliver's Time he was a Major- Gene- ral, a grand Fanatick, and a zealous Favourer of all that were Anti-monarchical i but upon a Forelight ot" the King's Refto- ration he fled into Switzerland, was at Laufanne with Gojf^ V/hdeyy and Farre, when Lijle was killed there in Augufi 1664, and foon after with his Wife retired to Zurich, With Regard to his coming over into Ew^Z/^rw^jufl: after the Revo- lution, Mv.lVood, from whom I have the former Account of him, fays, that by Letters dated London September 19, 1689, he was inform'd that Ludlotv, who had lived feveral Years in.

He adds, that he was fare Ludlovo was then in London, and that it was fo notorious, that about the 7'^ of November following, Sir Edward Seymour pre- fenied an Addrefs to his Mijefiry 1-roin the Houfe of Com- mons, that he would be pleafed to put out a Proclamation for the appreheoding of him, on which he returned to SmzerlanJ ia 3/8 The A u T H o r'5 cides,was not afraid to return into England^ fent for, as was reported by his Friends, one or two of them Men of no vulgar Note. in the fcventy fourth Year of his Age. IVood Fajii Oxon. Vol. i. Col. 8S4. The Account we have of this Matter in the Preface to that Gendeman's own Memoirs, />. 7. is this : That when the whole Kingdom of Ireland, Londonderry only excepted, was un- happily fallen into the Hands of the Injh Papifts, and the Lieu- tenant General (he means Ludlow) was fent for as a fit Perfon to be employed to recover it from them : When the Brhijff Refugees (meaning the other outlawed Rebels) were glad to hear iiim named tor that Service, and he, in an Extafy to ferve his Country any where, was arrived in England i the Reception he found there was fuch, as ought rather to be forgotten, than tranfmitted to Pofterity with any Remarks upon that Conjunc- ture. Thus, fays his Prefacer, being denied the Honour of dying for his Country, he returned to the more hofpitable Place from whence he came. Hofpitable indeed in the fame Senfe, that another Author, ipeaking alfo of Ludlow, but with lefs Friendfhip for Rebels and Regicides, calls the Dutch our dear, dear, 'very dear Friends , for giving Protedrion to them. Liidlow, fays he, who fled from Juitice, and leveral other old Army Officers, (helterd themfelves there, meaning in Holland: There the Villanis were proteded, and the Traytors found a iecure ^filum. Indeed, adds he, it was wonderful kind for a neighbouring Nation to protect profcribed Rebels from Jullice, nay and aiTill: them in their Return to difturb the Peace of the ICincrdom , that had made them high and mighty from poor and mifsrable. Twice, fays he, -did that notorious Rebel Lud- low efcape the Sword of Juilice by flying to Holland; yet fee the incomparable Impudence of that Traytor: He braved Juftice to her Face, and a third Time ventured to come over, not fneakingly and in Difguife, but openly and barefaced, at the Prince o^ Orange's Invalion in 168S.S0 far from fearing the Punifh- ment which his Crimes deferved, and tor which he flood out- lawed, that prefuming upon his impious Services, he expedcd a Reward from them. That he came at the Time of that In- valion, as ir agrees neither with Dr. Barwick's Account, nor with that of Ml' K^ood now mentioned i fo it is mofl probably a Miflakc, APPENDIX. 179 Note.

The grand Affair of the Church is ftill in Motion towards that ' This Letter is Dr. Berwick's to the Lord Chancellor, and fcems tobeimperfc<£l at the beginning, where fomething might perhaps be faid concerning the Cypher (incios'd in his Lordfhip*s iaft Letter) which was not material to be printed j and yet it is no unufual Thing in Letters to retcr to what is only in the Mind ot the Wiiter. happy APPENDIX. 411 happy Conclufion, which his facred Majeifty is fo pioufly zealous for, with what Speed may reafonably be ufed in a Matter of fo great Importance and DiiBcuIty. The Lift of Names and Places which his Majefty was pleafed to fend, hath much facilitated the Work in feveral Inftances ; for thereby are cut off all Occafions of Difpute in relation to the Number, Perfons, and St^s. And as for the manner of their proceeding in that great Work, your Lordlhip is humbly de- fired to affure his Majefty, that they have ad- vifed with the beft Council at Law this Place affords, not only in order to the fecur- ing of the Work and their own Perfons, but alfo for the Defence of his Majefty's Prero- gative from the leaft Hazard of any Infringe- ment, which th^y always intended, and ftill refolve to preferve inviolable : And that be- ing done, they are fully aiTured of his Ma- jefty's Piety and Goodnefs in giving Way, that this great Affair (upon which not only the Security, but the very Being of this Church maypoflibly hereafter depend) may be tranfafted in fuch a Method, as may beft flop the Mouths of all Adverfaries, and be moft agreeable to the Canons and Pradlice of the Primitive Church (efpecially in the firft 411 APPENDIX. firfl: four general Councils) and give the greateft Security to the Perfons of all that fhall be concerned in it (either as Confecra- tors or Confecrated) from any Perfecution that may poffibly be raifed againft them for it, in cafe it cannot be concealed. I perceive by feveral PafTages of your Lord- fhip's late Letters, what an high Efteem you have of the Bifhop of Ely and the Bifhop of Salisbury, in this Caufe ; and to fay no- thing of the reft, I can affure your Lord- fliip, that fince the heavy Burthen of foli- citing this Bufinefs vi^as impofed upon me, nothing hath either been afted or defigned, but by their full Approbation 5 nor any thing omitted, which they thought necef- fary: So that all the Delays, vi^hich have intervened, have proceeded from the Dif- ficulty of fo weighty a Work, in fo bad Times, and will be taken off as foon as pof- fibly may be, I have herewith fent your Lordfhip an ExtraQ; out of the laft Letter I received from the one of them (that I may give your Lordfhip fome better AlTurance than my bare Word, what their Apprehenfions are, as to this particular) for it fully agrees with what I found to be the Senfe of the other upon APPENDIX. 415 upon feveral Difcourfes, excepting only that PafTage of the Unfeafonablenefs of the Time. It was occafioned by what your Lordfhip commanded me to fignify to him (which I did in terminis) together with what I could colleft from the Difcourfeof lAv, Al- leflreyy was your Lordfhip's Senfe upon the Cafe. There is nothing in it, which your Lordfhip will not fee to the bottom, with- out my Commentary, excepting that Paf- fage — Bat for the manner propofedy &c. and the Expedient thereupon, which I men- tioned to him. And to clear this, I muft beg your Lordfhip's Patience, firft to hear what I colleSed from the Meffenger's Dif- courfe, and then what I propofed by Way of Expedient, For the former (if I miftook not) I conceive your Lordfhip's Senfe was, that the Proceeding ought to be by a Man- dat from his Majefty to any three or four Bifliops by way of Collation, upon the Lapfe for the Dean and Chapter's Non-E- leftion : And that your Lordfhip grounded this Method, i. Upon his Majefty's Prero- gative. 2. Upon a former Confultation with the Bifliop of ^/r. And 3. Upon the conftant Practice in Ireland: In all which Particulars I flb^ll give your Lordfhip a faithful 414 APPENDIX. faithful Account of the Senfe of our bed Friends here 5 and then fubmit the Matter to your Lordfhip's fecond Thoughts. Firft^ it is the Opinion of them all, that the Sup- pofal of a Lapfe would more impair the King's Prerogative, than the Collation could advance it ; becaufe it would prefuppofe a Power of Election pleno Jure in the Deans and Chapters, which they have only de Fa- cultate Regta : And for them to petition for fuch a Licence would be as difficult, as to eleft, if they had it ; many of the Deans being dead, fome Chapters extinguifhed, and all of them fo difturbed, as they can- not meet in the Chapter-Houfe, where fuch Afts regularly are to be performed: And befide this, fuch Petitions were never at- tempted, till the King's Pleafure was inti- mated to them, that they might petition; which was the Caufe of the long Vacancy of fome Bifliopricks. 2. For the Bifhop of jB/>', his own Anfwer is, that what he deli- vered as his Opinion in the former Conful- tation, was to fupply thofe Defefts, that could not be avoided in Capitular Eleftions (fuppofing always the Neceffity of fome Eledion according to the conftant Praftice of the whole Church of Chrift) and that I fmce APPENDIX. 41 J fince he confidered of the Method now on Foot, he is clearly of Opinion, it will con- {i&i as well with his Majefty's Prerogative, and much more with the antient Canons of the Church. And j. For the Praftice in Ireland^ the fame Reverend Perfon's Re- ply to me was, that he did not more defire to live to fee his Majefty's Face for any other Caufe, than that he might become an hum- ble Petitioner, that the like Liberties might be reftored to the Church of Ireland^ which are continued in England % which would be a great Honour to his Majefty here, and a greater Happinefs hereafter. And if your Lordfhip pleafe to appoint any to turn over Binhis {Tom. j, to Tage 5 J2. of the Tar is Edit.) you will find the Senfe of that famous Council of Chalcedon as to this Particular, in a Cafe not only refolved by the Fathers, according to the Laws of the Church, but judged by the Emperor's Commiflioners in that Council, to ftand in Force for future Praftice. And this is one of thofe four Coun- cils, which were always held of greateft Veneration in the Church, and are ftill fo much countenanced by the Laws of Eng^ land. Now 4x6 APPENDIX. Now for the Expedient mentioned in my Letter to jO. J*, it was, that his Majefty would be pleafed to grant his Commiffion to the Bifhops of each Province refpeftively, to eleft and confecrate fit Perfons to fuch and fuch Sees, either aifembled in Provin- cial Council, or otherwife, as they fliould find moft convenient, (His Majefty figni- fying, as he hath done, his Pleafure con- cerning the Places and Perfons) with fuch difpenfative Claufes, as fliould be found ne- ceflary upon the Emergency of the Fafl:; which Commiffions may bear date before the Afl-ion, though all Contingencies which may be neceffary to be difpenfed with, can- not be fo clearly forefeen, as to have them drawn up, till the Thing be done ; And then afterward upon Certificate and Peti- tion, to have his Majefty's Ratification and Confirmation of the whole Procefs ; and the Regifter to be drawn up accordingly by the chief Aftuary, who may take his Memo- rials hence, and make up the Record there. And if this feem reafonable to your Lord, fhip for the Prefervation of his Majefty's Prerogative, it would be one of the greateft Obligations you can lay upon the Fathers and Sons of this poor Church, to fatisfy his He Majetty APPENDIX. 417 Majefty in the whole and every Branch of it. I know, when I have w^earied your Lordfhip with this tedious Dlfcourfe, there may be feveral Doubts and Queftions raifed upon it, vi^hich I hope I could give more clear Satisfa&ion unto, if I were prefent ; and therefore I humbly defire, that the Merits of the Caufe may neither depend upon this diftance of Place, nor the Hafte I write in, and lead of all upon the Inabi, lities of the Manager of it. I hope your Lordfhip's candid Interpretation of all Things, will make this Letter fupply the Want of fending fome Perfon, to give an Account of this Affair, and perhaps himt who is moft unfitting in feveral Refpe£ls for fuch an Employment, and who to the beft of his Power w^ill not be idle (as Occafion is offered) though he be excufed in this Par- ticular. I have no more to add upon this Account^^ but only that feeing none is yet nominated for CarliJIe, it is the BiChop of Elfs Opinioa (and his Pleafure I fliould fignify it as fuch) that your Lordfliip may do his Majefty good Service in minding him, that it hath been always the Prudence of our former Princes, to keep fome Equality of the Ba- E e lance 4x8 APPENDIX. lance between the two Univerfities (cateris paribus) for the general Encouragement of Learning (whereunto his Majefty may ftill caft in a Grain in the Nomination to this Place, if fo it be his Pleafure) which other- wife he obfervech will be overpoifed, when he confiders, both who are already in the Stock, and who are defigned for the Sup- ply.

If I were a Presbyterian (and they have many wifer Men, and who know better how to compafs what themfelves de- fire) I would not propofe to the King to do any formed Ad: to the Prejudice of the Church 5 becaufe I fliould defpair of pre- vailing with him 5 but I would befeech him to fufpend the doing any Thing, that fhould contribute to the former Eftablifh- ment, till there might be fuch a mature Deliberation, that the beft Provifion might be made to compofe all Differences : and if I could prevail thus far; I (hould hope by fome continued Suggeftions (which would be fpecioufly enough adminiftred by Per. fons of very diftinft Interefts) to fpin out the Time, till all the Bifhops were deadi You may eafily believe, there would be Concurrence enough in fuch an Overture, from Perfons far enough from Presbyteri- ansj APPENDIX. 427 ans. In a Word, it would be grateful to too many 5 and not refolutely enough oppofed by others, who in truth mean well, but are not yet convinced of the Mifchief of Com- plyance in Things, which they call fmal]. If any fuch Overtures fliall at any Time be made to the King 5 1 doubt not, but he •will difcern the End, and confequently not confent to them : yet I do wifli in all Events, that the Succeflion were provided for. And now I have made you my Confeflbr : and if the Confideration be of Moment, it will prevail with thofe, who can give the Re- medy. I pray remember my Service with all Ima. ginable Reverence to my Lord of Ely^ and affure him, that the King will always re- turn that Candor, Benignity, and Equality to both the Univerfities, which he wifhes ; and I hope all, who fhall be intrufted by him in that great Affair, will be as jufl: and difpaffioned in all their Interpofitions, and look upon them as equal Lights to Learning and Piety, and equally worthy of all Encouragement and Proteftion.

But his Majefty being already fatisfied, and the Method ap- proved on by your Lordfliip, my Labour will be more ufefully bellowed, in endea- vouring to promote the Work with all pof- fible Speed, for thofe weighty Reafons men- tioned in your laft ; though you are pleafed to ftile them no better than Phanfies. In July laft I went a Circuit among fome of thofe, on whom the Work doth chiefly depend ; and I found them very ready and willing to advance it, but in good Hopes there would be no need of this intended Method. I hope they are ftill of the fame Mind and Affeflions 5 feeing the fame Rea- fon that damps thofe Hopes, makes the Work more neceffary : And I am fure no- thing APPENDIX. ^17 thing fliall be -wanting on my Part to ferve them in it : And I befeech your Lordfhip, as Occafion ferves, to lay as many and ftri£l Commands upon me from his Majefty as you pleafe, to quicken them in it : For I fear this Winter will go hard with fome of them, that may worft be fpared in the due Performance of fuch a Work.

And farther, I muft be- feech your Favour, to fignify his Majefty's Pleafure concerning the fupplying of the Bifhoprick of the Ifle of Man^ which is in the Province of Tork : For though the Nomi- nation of the Perfon belongs to the Earl of Verify, who defires it may be done, and refers it wholly to them, now that the Per- fon hath refused it, to whom he proffered it ; yet they will hardly do it without his Majefty's leave $ and it is thought neceffary to fupply as many Places as may be within that Province, confidering hov/ fmall the whole Number is, if they were all full. My Lord of Ely returns all dutiful Ac- knowledgments to his Majefty, and his hum- ble Service toyour Lordfhip: I perceive you mifunderftood him, as to the poizing the Number between thetwo Univerfitiesj for F f 4 he 440 APPENDIX. he never fufpefled his Majefty's equal Fa^ vour to both; nor thought him worthy of the office of Bifhop, that is not of the fame Temper : But however he has obferv- ed it, as a good Encouragement to Learning, when young Students could recount fuch and fuch BiQiops of the fame Univerfity or College with themfelves. It is not now indeed fo confiderable 5 feeing the Rule of (i^En. SyhhiSy which was always good, is now indifpenfably neceffary, Non Homintbus dandas effe T^ignitateSy fed T^ignitatibus Ho- mines: And for this and other Reafons (with all dutiful Thanks) the Bifhop of Ely de- fires to be excused, as to the recommending of any Perfon either to Carlifle^ or any 0- ther Dignity ,• though he will not omit his Prayers, that God would direO: his Majefty always for the beft, and at this Time more particularly; when the Settlement both of the Church and Univerfides is like to have fo great an Influence, not only upon the Souls of Men, but alfo upon his Majefty's Government, to all future Ages. I have heard him fay (and I know another of the fame Temper) that he never was Suiter for any Place in the Church ; and I have heard others fay both of him and Bifhop Andrews before APPENDIX. 441 before him, that neither of them ever gave any to any that were. It has been too common a Miftake, to difpenfe fuch Places by Favour and Affeftion, and call them Preferments, and look upon them as Re- wards, which are indeed (efpecially now) only new Obligations to a far greater Work, and a much greater Charge upon our laft Account. The Iniquity of thefe prefent Times hath reftified this Error in many : And it is the Opinion of fome Churchmen of the greateft Underftanding and Fore- fight among us, that for one Age none can poflibly have Occafion to fall into it again, though all other Things fhould anfwer our Defire. The whole Revenue of the Church, (fuppofing, which yet can hardly beimagin- ed, it fhonld return intirely and immedi- ately) will hardly allow NecefTaiies to the firft Incumbents, by that Time the Churches are made fit for God's Service, and the Houfes for Man's Habitation ,• fo that the Straw will be wanting, and yet the Tale of Brick muft be multiplied ten Fold. I befeech your Lordfhip, excufe this Digref- fion. Thefe are not my Thoughts only, but alfo of the greateft Mafters of Reafon of our Tribe in this Place, which your former Candor 44^ APPENDIX. Candor hath given me the Boldnefs to re- prefent unto you, in order to the Good of the Church : and whoever of us thinks o- therwife, will (I fear) either fall fhort of his Hopes, or fail the Church in his Duty. A publick Spirit was always good in the Cler- gy, but now indifpenfably neceflary. I have now fent you the Precedents for the Grant of Deaneries, which have been fo long expefted : And 1 have purpofely fought out thofe, that are of the moft different Nature: And yet they differ fo little, as I might have referred you to that I formerly fent. Some lit- tle verbal Differences there are, and the Claufe of Habendum is tranfpofed in that for Wefi- minfter \ but which is beft, your Lordfliip may judge: For my part, I take them rather to be cafual Slips, than any Difference in the Precedents,excepting only the Title, by which every Church is incorporated, and the Name of the laft Incumbent ; both which it would be very convenient to obferve in all Grants of this Nature ; and yet I find it not fo ne- ceffary, but that one or both are omitted in fome Precedents, efpecially thofe granted of late at Oxford. If the laft Incumbent be to be named, it will occafion a Queftion as to fome Churches now void, whether he that APPENDIX. 445 that had the Grant under the Seal, but ne. ver any Inftalment, nor fo much as Infti- tution from the Bifliop, fhall be reputed the laft Dean.

In King James s Time I find them mingled among the other Patents at the Rolls : But in the Time of the late King CharleSy they ftand upon Record a- mong other Prefentations 5 yet ftill the Form of a Patent is continued. If I had the ab- Liberty of the Rolls (as I muft con- ,ve had great Civilities from an ho- \$h2it is ftill a Clerk there) I could le.Bufinefs clearly to the Fountain 5 but as the Cafe is, all I have faid is fo con- jeftural, as not to be regarded any farther than the Grounds here laid will infer 5 and is not intended to advife any prefent Altera- tion, but merely to inform your Lordflaip, and fatisfy his Majefty in a Matter not ufu. ally taken Notice of, in cafe any Alteration may hereafter be thought convenient. On- ly I mutt add, that upon difcourfing the Point with my Lord of Ely^ he tells me, the Miftake has been long obferved by Arch- Bifliop Neal ^ and others j and that they * Archbifliop of ri^r^, tranflated from Hinchefler in 1631, die^ OMer 31, 1640. were 44^ APPENDIX. were about to give his late Majefty a true Information in it , and petition , that it might be re£l:ified, but were prevented by thefe late Troubles. And it is now the more confiderable ; becaufe there have been fome ill Confequences of late drawn from it, which gave me the firft Hint to enquire into it. For inftance, Dr* Owen ^ retorted upon Dr. Hammondy that (even upon his own Principles) he had no Dependence at all upon the Bifliop of Oxford. And I muft confefs, I wondered, when I firft perufed the Grant of the Deanery of Chriji-Churchj and found not the Bifliop fo much as men- tioned in it 5 wherein I think it differs from every other Church that is a Bifliop's See. The Truth is (to ufe my wonted Boldnefs) the Blfliop is mentioned flightly enough in all other Precedents, but however (as I take it) in all other Places (unlefs they were Collegiate Churches exempt from ordinary Jurifdiaion) the Grant was always prefent- ed to the Bifliop, from whom the Dean ^ T fuppofe the famous Dr. John Owen (of whom fee a large Account, IVood Athen. Oxo?i. VoL 2. Col. yf^-, Sec.) and probably in his Review of the Annotations of Hugo Grotius, 8cc. printed at Oxford i6j6, 4^^*, in anfwer to Dr. Hammond, received APPENDIX. 447 received Inftitution, and then was inftalled by the Canons, or Prebendaries, upon the Bifhop's Mandat. I hear it was thus at Ely, and I find by the Statutes of the Church of T>tirham (whereof I have a Co- py) it muft be fo there 5 and I have no Reafon to doubt of the reft : So that the laft of thefe four Precedents here inclosM (which is the King's ilf^;^^ij2^ for Inftalment) was I think at firft intended only for Col- legiate Churches, which are exempt from Epifcopal Jurifdiftion 5 though now it is if- fued forth for Cathedrals alfo. I have writ it but once over 5 becaufe mutatis mutandis it will ferve for all : I had it from an Ori- ginal, and not at the Rolls ^ for it ftands not there upon Record ; becaufe it pafles not under the Great Seal, but either a Part of it, or fome lefler; being aiBxt to a fmall Label cut off from the Parchment at the bottom. All that I (hall need to add, as to the Precedent, is, that where I have ab- breviated any Thing, it may be fupplied from the like Claufe in the foregoing Pre- cedent, to avoid unneceflary Trouble. If your Lordfliip has received mine of the eighth paft, I fhall need to fay no more 5 only it can be no Tautology, to prefent agaia my 448 APPENDIX. my mofl: dutiful Acknowledgment of his Majefty's Goodnefs, in that good Opinion he hath of me, and my humble Thanks to your Lordfliip for the great Favours you exprefs continually towards me.

The lafl: Letter I received from By this tedious Scribble you fee I had ra- ther create Objeflions, than not prevent all that poflibly may be forefeen.

I think my laft to you was under the fame Cover, which will put this into your Hand, I wilt not fail to morrow to write to the King, all that you wifli concerning Sir Thomas Middleton, of whom I know his Majefty will have a Angular Efteemj and for my part, I think him fitteft to have the entire Command of thofe Parts, and to chufe fuchOiBcers under him, as he would judge- moft proper for the Bufinefs; and I wifh with all my Heart, the Lieutenant General of the fame Name were with him, who tho* a Scotchman^is no more a Presbyterian than you and I ,• and is indeed a Man of great Honour and Honefty, and in very little Fa- vour with his Countrymen.

SIR, I Have by this laft Poft your's of the 1 1*^ two Days fince, and Yefterday thofe of the 1 3*^ and x^'^ofi Sept ember , and the third of this Month together, by the long Way j fo that I think now our Accounts are even, and that all mine to you, and your's to me are fafely delivered. I fhali not (indeed I cannot, in point of Time) reply to all thofe Particulars in your feveral good Difpatches \ \ Sec above, p. 4©4.. but 46z APPENDIX. but fliall only mention what is applicable to prefent Ufe : But I give you very hearty Thanks for the whole Information and In- ftruftion, of w^hich I fhall always make the moft Advantage I can for the Publick. I can fay no more with Reference to the Church, but that if there be nothing hin- ders it but the Winter, it will be quickly over, whilft Preparations are making ; and yet God knows, it will be almoft a Mira- cle, if the Winter doth not take away half the Bifbops that are left alive ; and I mufh ftill lament, that fome Way is not found, that the Bifhop of Ely may be at Liberty ; which would carry on this Work more, than any Expedient I can think of. Concerning any Affurance we have, of any Confent from the Perfons named, to undergo the Charge defign'd to them, I can give you no Satisfac- tion ; not knowing, that any one of them hath been communicated wirh tothatPur- pofe : And I have always been of the Opi- nion, that the Method you fay was obferv- ed by Bifliop Andrews^ and the Bifhop of Ely^ is the right ; and if I could help it, if the King were at Whitehall to morrow, he fhould never prefer any Man in the Church, who fought it : And I think I have Reafon to APPENDIX. 4- 34.1. . mend APPENDIX. ^6s mend any particular Perfon ; but It is ab- folutely neceflary, that by Communication with him, and the other of your Friends, you return hither a Lift of fuch worthy Men, as are fit for thofe Charges, and not like to decline them j and of the Nua*ber the King may chufe as lie pleafes. There is indeed too much Realbn to doubt, that if the Crown were reftored to morrow, the Church would not be in many Years repaired ; yet I hope it would not be in fo miferable a Condition, as you fuppofe; and that the pubhck and general Piety of the Nation will contribute to the Repairing of thofe Defacings and Ruins, which the generalMadnefs and Impiety hath diflionour- ed the Nation with. And truly I am of Opinion, that the Church will be either to- tally ruined (towards which there is too great a Confpiracy between Perfons, who agree in nothing elfe) or elfe, that it will be reftor'd to a great Luftre. For all Dif. courfes of the Treaty at the Ifle of JVip-ht trouble me little ; though it comes mentis oned fometimes to us by thofe, who pretend no Difaffeflion to the Ciiurch ; and w!jo pretend all fhall be repaired again after: wards. But as I am confident, the King H h will 466 APPENDIX. will never endure it : fo if he fhould con- fent to it, it can never be reduc'd into Prac- tice, or a Peace be eftablifh*d in the King.' dom by it. I look every Day to receive the King's Letter for the Northamptonfhire ^ Gen- tlemen, which I will difpatch to you as foon as it comes. I have in fome of mjr late Letters defir'd you to accept of that Compofition with Mr. Grigfon, which is very well made 5 and that out of it you give poor Greg the Sum I formerly menti- on'd to you : And I befeech you, take it as a general Rule once for all, that whatever you fhall find neceffary to disburfe for the King's Service, for the Relief of any honefl Man, who hath merited from him, and is in great and unfupportable Want ; his Ma- jefty will very willingly allow it, and thank you for the feafonable Charity : And if it be now in your Power, I wifli you would fupply Sir Theophilus Gtlbj (who is a very honeft Man, and to whom Mr. Thorneton can tranfmit the Favour) with t\^enty or thirty Pounds.

He is a very melancholy Man, and very uneafy to himfelf 5 and therefore I wifh, if you knew any body that is acquainted with him, that he fliould be a little refrefhed, and com- forted with Converfation i and that he fhould know, the King is not without a Senfe of his Condition. I fhall let his Majefty know to morrow, of the hundred Pounds you have tranfmitted to Sir Thomas Bond. I cannot but be very glad, that your ^ Friend is one of thofe, who is fent up from Monk to treat; becaufe you will be able to make fuch Impreflions in him, as may both difpofe him, and enable him to difpofe Monk ; who if he be well inclined, may be fureof Afliftance, before he can be compelled to fight.

SIR, SINCE my laft to you on this Day Se- vennight, by the fame Conveyance that will, I hope, bring this to your Hands I am accountable to you for three of your's 5 that of the 7^^ and the 1 4^^ which came to me together by the laft French Poft, and your other of the 1 8^^ of the laft Month, which I received with Mr. Rttmbald's. To the firft I need fay little, but that you muft impute it to the King's being in his Jour- ney, that you do not receive the Letter for Northamptonpire. He is by this Time at Varis 5 and there I am confident he will write it, and from thence fend it to you or me. I am ftill in hope (though only upon the Reafon of it) that if Monk hath any Inclination to ferve the King, he finds fome Way to inform his Majefty of it; and then he would in Time receive any Affiftanceor Countenance he can wifl:, even by the King's own Prefence, or his Brother's : And I am confident, he will receive all the En- couragement France can give him. I am H h J of 470 A P P E N D I X. of the Opinion, his Majefty will be here the next Week, or very foon after. I do not think any of our Friends will rife, till tht^y have feme Countenance from one of the Parties 5 and I obferve, by what you fay, that Monk is much lefs Mafter, than I thought him to have been, of his own Ar- my ; yet he may quickly make himfelf ftronger, if he take the right Way; where- as, methinks, otherwife he ftands in a very fair Way fpeedily to be broken ; and his own Army will give him up. I confefs I do not like the prefent Pofture he is in. And this Agreement, how extravagant a one foever it be, will have for fome Time the Reputation of a Settlement ; till fome new Breach appears, which fhould be haft- ened all that is polTible, I know not what to propofe 5 and I perceive very well, that you are very vigilant to do all that can be done : And you are a better Judge of that, than I can be, at this Diftance. How comes it to pafs, that Tmmotith was not poflefledby Monk^ if Sir Arthur Haprig had the Com- mand of it, who, I fuppofe, is with M?;^^? However, I am fure, he cannot be compel- led to fight, if he hath no Mind to it ; and may break Lamberf^ Army, if it fhall prefs him« APPENDIX. 471 him.^ You fay nothing to me of Sir Tho- mas Middletoriy where he is, and what he intends. Here was a Gentleman the laft Week, Colonel Whitley ^ who importuned me fo much, and undertook to know, that it would not be unacceptable to Sir Thomas^ that I writ half a dozen Lines of Kindnefs only to him, which he deferves abundantly from us all. I pray inform me, whether Chejier be difmantled, according to the Or- der of the Parliament, and what is become of Colonel Venables. I hear the Lancajhire Gentlemen are as full of Spirit as ever, and promife great Things. Do not Sir Henry Vaney and Major Saloway aft with the Com- mittee of Safety as much as any? Which I ask, becaufe I have {^^vi a Letter, as if they had taken fome Offence, and refused to bear a part in the Government, and that Fleetwood is neither fatisfied with Monk^ nor Lambert, I hope we fhall fhortly fee more clearly through all.

SIR, MY lafl: to you was of the 26^^ of the laft Month under Mr. PFrighfs Co- ver, fince which Time I have received your's of the 5^^ of the laft Month to me, and ano- ther of the fame Date to the King, another of the 9^^ and another of the 16^^ 5 and yet I do conclude there is another upon the Way, to which the laft refers. I (hall fpeak to all the Particulars in Order, and enlarge upon them by Difcourfe with Mr. Alhftreyj where it is necelTary : Becaufe in that of the 5^^ to me you mention Sir Thomas Mid- dleton 5 I will in this Place fay all that oc- curs with Reference to him 5 and tell you, that about a Month fince Colonel IVhttlej was here : having been with Sir Thomas in the Bufmefs of Chejier, he made very ample Relations of the Anions of Sir Thomas^ and preffed me very earneftly to write to him as a Thing that would not be unacceptable to him ; and I was eafily perfuaded to it ; having in truth an extraordinary Efteem for Sir Thomas, upon what he hath lately done, and what you have faid of him. Since Co- lonel/F^/r/^^'s Departure, Colonel JVorden is 47<^ APPENDIX, is arrived here, who makes fome Relations^ which I do not underftand i as if Colonel Whitley had in the late Aftion pretended to be fent,vvith a Commiffion from the King, to command Sir Thomas Middleton^s Horfe, as Major-General ; which I never heard of before, and am fure he had no fuch Com- mifTion from the King. On the other Hand, "we have many Intimations from Friends in London^ as if Colonel Warden were thought not to have done his Duty. They both fpeak very worthily of Sir Thomas Middle- ton, and pretend great Truft from him 5 and the latter hath a very large Teftimonial, figned by many Perfonsof Honour and Re- putation, and amongfl: thofe by Sir Thomas Middleton himfelf or his Son, as if they de- fired to have none elfe employed to them. In- deed the Teftimonial is fo large, as if it were provided to anfwer Objections, and to re- deem an injured Reputation. The other Colonel is, I doubt not, a Man of very en- tire Affeflions to the King's Service 5 yet pof- fibly may be infefted with the Difeafe of the Time, to believe, that he knows beft the "Ways to advance it ; and thereupon may affume Trufts, which he hath not. There- fore I pray, fpeak freely with Sir Thomas :^ Middleton:, APPENDIX. ^77 Mtddletoriy and know his Opinion of both thefe Gentlemen, that we may know the better, and anfwer this Matter particular. ly. It will not be an eafy Matter to fend over any Men to North Wales from thefe Parts 5 and I hope, when the Bufmefs is oa Foot in other Places, North Wales will be able to declare upon its own Strength : And if Sir Thomas Middleton can make himfelf Matter of Shrewsbury^ having fo good a back, it would be an excellent Poft.

I am glad Sir Thomas Mid- dleton hath fo good an Opinion of Colonel Whitley^ who truly, I believe, is an honeft Man ; the Danger only is of over Aftivity, H^nd prefuming to be employed, when he Is not: Nor do you anfwer me, whether he did pretend to Sir Thomas Middktonr, to be fent by the King to him, to cornn:iand the Horfe as Major-General j which Colonel Warden affirms. I have not heard of any Teftimonial he hath procured 5 which indeed IS no Way to vindicate a Man's Reputati- on; fince few Men will refufe to fign a Paper, that is brought to them: And Colo- nel IVorden profefles, that he received his Tefrimonial very unwillingly ^ which he was forced to take by the frank Importuni- ty of his Friends, who were offended at fuch Reproaches, as they found raifed a, gainft him. The King is very glad, that you have received Sir Thomas Middletons CommiOTion, and that.he is ready to accept :he TruH, when the Seafonfliallbe ripe. What APPENDIX. 493 What I faid concerning Shrewsbury was not, that I thought it unfit to be in Sir Thomas Middletoris Hands : I know very well, how it hes to North Wales, and the great Advantage they may receive from each other 5 and no Man is fo fit to be Governor of it, as Sir Thomas Middleton^ who offers to contribute fo much to the pof- feffing of it: But what I faid upon that Occafion, concerning my Lord Newport-^ was^ that it would be fitter to be tranfad- ed and confented to by an Affociation with Shropjhirej than by an abfolute Difpofitioa of the King's. And I named my Lord Newport only, as a principal Perfon of that County, and one very much affefled to the King's Service, not as Commander in Chief; which I do not believe he will ever affect to be. He is too wife a Man, to keep any Thing in his Mind of former Paflages, that may breed a Difturbance in the prefent Ser- vice : And no body can be fo fit to negoci* ate fuch an Affociation, as Andrew New- port \ and therefore I pray, let my Lord Mor- daunt and Mr./??/;^^^/^difpofe Andrew New- port in fuch a manner, as you will do Sir Thomas Mtddleton^ that they may meet to- gether, and fettle the Affociation ; and I I fliall 494 APPENDIX. fhall then wonder, if xh^ShropJhire Gentle- men fliall not be very willing, that Sir Thomas fhall be Governor of Shrewsbury^ when he hath been the principal Means to take iti and that is all I fhall fay of that Matter, more than my very hearty Service to Sir Thomas, and his Son, of whom his Majefty hath all the Confidence imaginable.

The AddreiTes from Northampton- Jhire and the other Counties are very good, notwithftanding all Claufes, which will do Good in the Way, and no Hurt in the End. Sir Theo.

I pray know of him, whether his Fa- ther left no Advance in the Gloffary, It would be very good News, if I could hear of my Lord of Ely\ being in full Liberty ; to whom I pray prefent my humble Service. The Truth is, I have little Hope of the Bu- fmefs of the Church, but by his being at Liberty 5 and therefore I hope he will make no Scruple of accepting it, if it be offered, or if it can be reafonably obtained. I have received the Note from Sir Tb. Bondy and will return you another, either now, or very fpecdily. I conceive by your's of the jo^S that Mr. Otway is before this Time with you; and then you cannot be long kept in Sufpence, what Monk refolves to do:, and if Clarges hath the Courage to Ihew him the King's Letter, it muft work upon him as much, as if it had been writ- ten to himfelf. I conceive the Letter you defire from the King, is for Colonel Red- man (though there be fome Miftake in your Cypher) and the Kij]g hath writ the inclo- fed accordingly. Idoconfefs to you (though very APPENDIX. 49^ very many are of your Opinion, and would find out Expedients accordingly, I am not fo much frighted with the Fear of thofe Perfons -, who by being pofleffed of the Church, Crown, and Delinquents Lands, will be thereby witheld from returning to their Duties, except they might be affured to retain the fame. Firfi^ I do not think the Number fo very confiderable of all thofe, who are intangled in that Guilt, that their Interefl can continue, or fupport the War ; when the Nation flhall difcern, that there is nothing elfe keeps off the Peace. Secondly y They who have the greateft Share in thofe Spoils, are Perfons otherwife fo ir« reconcilable, either by their villanous Re- folutions, as Sir Arthur Hafierig, and others, that no Overtures of that kind would work upon them, but would be turned into Re- proach 5 and as the Number of thofe is not great: fo the Greatnefs of their Poffeflions makes them more Enemies than Friends, fetting all other Guilt afide. Thirdly^ Tho* it be not in the King's Power to alienate either Crown, Church, or Delinquents Lands, and therefore his Offer (if he lliould make it) would be valued accordingly 5 and it is hardly poffible, that any Parliament K k which 498 A P P E N D I X. which owns the King, can be fo conftitu- ted, as to ratify fuch an Alienation : So no particular Man, who is poflTeffed of fuch Lands, and will really do fignal Service for the King, can doubt but that it is in the King's Power, and muft be in his Will, to make him ample Recompence for any Ser- vice he fhall do him ; and that he fliall be a good Husband, as well as good Subjeft, by returning to his Duty, and ferving the King effeftuallys and therefore you may eafily undertake from the King, and in his Name, to Colonel Redman^ that he fhall not find his Fortune the worfe for ferving the King; but that if he fhall do it vigoroufly, he (hall be fure, either to have a good Title given him to the Lands in Ireland^ of which he is poffefled, or at leaft to continue him in the Poffeffion of them, till he receives a va- luable Recompence to his own Satisfadion : And if you can let us know, what Lands they are, of which he is poffeiTed ; I believe it will be in our Power to fay, more to him for his prefent Satisfaction. And what I fay to you concerning Redmariy you are to take as faid with Reference to any others, who are in the fame Condition and Difpo- fition to ferve the King 5 and you may caufe then\ APPENDIX, 499 tliem to be treated with in the fame man- ner, and upon the fame Affiirance. I am very much taken with Mr. Steward's Cafe, and did hope, that our laft Letters would have brought us fome News of the City's Refentment of it; but I believe, they will avoid all (harp Expoftulations, till they can make a clearer Judgment of Monks Re- folutions ; of which, methinks, by your's of the 3^, you feem ftill to retain fome Hopes 5 and it is evident enough from hig Carriage, that he is willing all Parties fhould retain a fair Hope of him. There is no Doubt, it is in his Power (if he be once well refolved) to make himfelf fo ftrong, by a Conjunftion with honeft and worthy Men, that he need fear no Oppofition ; but may bring all to pafs, that he can reafona- biy defire, or others defire from him ; and he takes very ill Meafures of his own In- tereft, if he doth not believe, that it can be more advanced by his adhering to the King, and eminently promoting his Right, than by any other Courfe he can take; and in truth, that no other Advancement can be pleafant or lading to him. But if he fhould prove fo falfe and fo foolifh, as to give him- felf up to the Imagination of a Republick 5 K k 2 I hope yoo APPENDIX. I hope the good Spirit, that already appears throughout the whole Kingdom, will be heightened with Indignation and Obftinacy, to proteft againft a Submiflion and Subjec- tion to fuch an extravagant and abfurd Go- vernment, as is now over them; and confe- quently will refufe all Payments of Taxes and Impofitions, and fill Weftminfter-Hall with Procefs and Complaints to the Judges for the Oppreflions they fuffer againft Law. So that they may not be only without hope of a folid Settlement 5 but may receive fuch vifible Oppofition, as may take away all their Reputation with their Neighbours* of their being like to fettle: and then will be the Time for thofe Presbyterian Pulpits, which would be thought to have any Prin- ciples of Allegiance, to difcharge themfelves efficacioufly. The Exprefs you mention in your's of the 3^ is not yet arrived 5 fo that having anfwer- ed every Particular in all your's, I might very well give you Eafe from farther Trou- ble at prefent ; but I am compelled to en- large this very long Letter, by an unhappy Information, vi^hich Secretary Nicholas now gives xx\ it hath never been out of my own Hand 5 fo that there can be no fuch Thing from hence 5 and I cannot imagine, that he would be lefs careful there ; and it is very natural for them to give out fuch Brags, as they do, of their great y Skill in decyphering ; for which no body needs to fear them, if they write carefully in good Cyphers. However as Ifhall be in great Pain, till I know the contrary, and efpecially till I know that my Letters of the laft Friday, under my Lady ^ Abbefs's Cover, came fafe to him (which I fentupon an Invitation from thence, and an AfTurance, that they fhould be very fafely delivered) fo I will forbear writing to Mr. Rumbald\\\mM{y till I am better in- formed.

I have fince that Time received three from you, one of the 7^^, another of the 9*\ and another of the 13^^ 5 and the King had, to every one of thofe, one to him 0^ the fame Date ; and I fee you are very apprehenfive of the fame Mifchief by the decyphering our Letters, which you impute to Art ; as you have great Reafon to do, if your Letters and others have been decyphered, as well as Mr. Rumbald's. I confefs to you, as I am fure no Copy could be gotten of any of my Cyphers from hence 5 fo I did not think it probable, that they could be got on your fide the Water. But I was as confident, till you tell me you be- lieve it, that the Devil himfelf cannot de- cypher a Letter, that is well written, or find that 100 ftands for Sir //. Vane. I have heard of many of the Pretenders to that Skill, and have fpoken with fome of them, but have found them all to be Mounte- banks : Nor did I ever hear, that more of the King's Letters that were found at Nafeby^ than thofe which they found decyphered, or found the Cyphers in which they were writ, were decyphered. And 1 very well remember, t\m in the Volume they publiflhed, there was 3 much APPENDIX, yoj much left in Cypher, which could not be underftood 5 and which I believe they would have explained, if it had been in their Power : But you can eafily fatisfy yourfelf in this Point; if you either make a Cypher yourfelf, or write half a fcore Lines out of feveral other Cyphers, and fend them to the Artift : And you will then be convinced yourfelf, and be able to convince others; and then it will be to no Purpofe to traf- fick any more in thofe Commodities. In the mean Time, we muft look out the fafefl: Way for Conveyances 5 and truly I do not find, that many of mine have mifcarried : And I have perfuaded Mr. Wright to ufe the Conveyance by my Lady Abbefs ^, which brings many other Letters very exaflly to me. I hope you have received long fince the King's Letter to my Lord of "Derby. You may affure Sir Thomas Middleton, that the Commander in Chief for South JVales^ is left to be chofen by the Commiffioners, as in moft other Counties : And if Mr. Man- fell hath thofe Affeftions, which many be- lieve him to have 5 it is very probable, he will be chofen ; for we have not heard from J See above, ^. 2/5 » Lahorne yo(5 APPENDIX.

But in my own Opinion, you fhould rather endeavour to win over thofe, who being recover'd, will have both Reputation and Defire to merit from the Church, than be over foHcitous to comply with the Pride and Pallion of thofe, who propofe extravagant Things : as what can be faid to the Divine, who is not only fo well fatisfied with his Rebellion, but would require other Men to renounce their Innocence, and juftify him 5 which I am yi6 APPENDIX. am confident no Parliament will ever do ?

The clofe of that Difcourfe feems very rigid 5 for if all be ftill oblig'd to fo ftrift aa Obfervance of the old Laws, 'tis too mani- feft, that all (without Exception) in fome Degree or other have been to blame, and (what is worfe) are like to continue fo ftill- I fliall not tell you , what I have heard fome otherwife minded fay, not without fome fhew of Reafon 5 both becaufe it would make little to my prefent Purpofe, which is only to put you in mind of what Difcourfe formerly pafled between us 5 and becaufe I am fo far of the fame Opinion, that I durft never yet go to any Church, where the old Prayers were not ufed j though I dare not condemn all that do. But if the Cafe fo ftand with the Clergy, I wifli his Lordfhip would confider, what a great piece of Charity it would be to re- iieve them 5 and if it may be done by any> how inexcufable they are that do it not: And the Truth is, I fhall fooner expeft fo great a Bleffing from his Lord Chip's Wif. dom. Courage, and Goodnefs, than from any j and if I fliould fay, from all the reft of APPENDIX. 539 of his Order, I flhould but fpeak my Thoughts. But how this may be done, is, I confefs, be- yond my Underftanding to tell you ; nor can I reprefent the Condition of this poor Church better to my Lord, than you and others have done ^ who have ktn more Abroad, than my Retirednefs would give me leave to obferve. He that hath either his Eyes or Ears open, muft needs know the Confufion to be great, and the State of it moft lamentable ; and that not only in Regard of the wild Schifmaticks, but even of thofe who would be own'd, and may pafs for the better and founder Part. To infl:ance in one Particular, to which at pre- fent I fhall for the moft part confine my felf. Amongft thofe that either are, or would be thought loyal Subjefls to the King, and obedient Sons of this Church, there is great Diverfity of Opinion and Praflice about Prayer, and the publick Worfhipof God ; fome believing themfelves excus'd by the Times, if they wholly omit it 5 fome contriving the Subftance of it in- to a Prayer of their own making ; fuppo- fmg they have done their Duty well, if they pray nothing againfl: the old Form; others retain part, fome more, fome lefs, according 540 APPENDIX. according to their feveral Judgments; and fome again holding themfelves oblig'd to ufe all, according to their former Engage- ments; and not fo much as to communi- cate with any that ufe it not (fuppofing them fchifmatical) are confequently deprived of the Benefit of others Miniftry, and exclu- ded from any publick Employment them- felves, to their own great Prejudice, and the greater Scandal of the well affefted Laity. Thus it is already; and 'tis Hke Time will produce more Divifions, both in this Particular, and many others ; and in that Confufion the Church be wholly loft, if timely Remedies be not applied. The Perfons thus divided in Judgment are Men of worth 5 there being on all Sides fome moft to be valued, both for their Piety, and Learning; and therefore as not haftily to be condemned, fo like enough to give Re- putation to their feveral Opinions and Prac- tices; and fo continue the Breach God knows how long. I am not wife enough to prefcribe a Re- medy i nor to tell you how thefe Differen- ces may be reconciled ; but thus much I can cafily forefee, that Difputing and Conference cannot do it- To attempt it that Way, would APPENDIX. 541 would be endlefs and fruitlefs: And I doubt. Authority cannot do it by any rigorous ex- a£ling of Obedience to the old Laws -, for ma- ny will think themfelves not obliged in a Cafe of fuch Danger; and would not want Ar- guments fufficient in fuch a Caufe, to draw a great Party after them 5 and (if we may judge by what we have already feen) many- will want that Courage to do what yet they believe they ought to do 5 and fuppofe all would agree to do it 5 what could the pro- bable end of that Courfe be (as the Times are) but the total Ruin of the beft part of the Clergy, and of this poor Church with them? There is no Way then to me imaginable left, to fettle a Church of any one Commu- nion among us (without which we cannot long fubfift) but by giving fuch a Tem- per and Moderation to the old Laws in all Matters, as thefe Times will bear, and by cafting the Form of God's publick Worfliip in the fame Mould; keeping ftill to the Duty we owe to God and the King, and receding as little as may be, from the old Way in all. And tliis was it, I meant, by regulating the Church ; and if it were firit done in Prayers, other Matters miglit be proceeded J41 APPENDIX. proceeded unto, as Occafion is ofFer'd, and the Times give Advantage. If you ask me, how this fhould be done, and by vi^hat Power : I anfwer : It may be done fafely by the Bifhops themfelves, could they agree in Opinion, how far this Remiffion ought to extend 5 and did they but ftate the whole Matter, as a Cafe of Confcience, what might or might not be done j and either command> or but recommend it to the Praftice of the Clergy ; they would certainly be obey- ed, if not by all, yet by the moft and beft of them $ who look upon them now as in the State and Condition of Primitive Bifhops, and under a Civil Authority, though not Pagan, yet clearly Antichriftian, and fuch as endeavour to deftroy the Church of God ; fo in this Exigency neceffarily freed from the Obligation of fuch former Laws, as Violence and Rebellion have made utterly imprafliicable i and to this their former fo- lemn Engagements at their Ordination will contribute much. But if you objeft, that many, according to their feveral Difpofitions, Parts, or Interefts would likewife be of fe- veral Opinions, and not give fuch Obedi- ence, as is fuppos'd, to what the Bifhops fliould command, or commend to their Prac- tice 5 APPENDIX. H3 tice ; and farther, that 'tis not very likely, the Bifhops themfelves would eafily agree , fome being more remifs in Judgment, o- thers more rigid : I anfwer, 2^% That another Way may be taken, which will be much more efFeflual, tho* not altogether fo fafe as the former ; and that is, to do it by Commiffion, Leave, or at lead fome Intimation from the King: For in fuch Cafes, 'tis neither fafe, nor wife to be too nice and punClual. And this Power given, to be exprefsM in few Words, but of large Extent, leaving, upon the Matter, the whole Bufinefs of giving Temper to the old Laws, to their Difcretions. The Form may be con- trived here ; but this, as not to be granted to any one; becaufe he may be hindred by Sicknefs, Imprifonmenr, and other Acci- dents, from putting it in Execution (then a new Commiffion muft be fought , and perhaps at a Time, when it cannot be fo eafily bad, as now) fo not to be given to above three Bifhops at the moft, both for more Secrecy, and for avoiding Diverfitv of Opinion among them (which may wholly fruftrate the End of it) yet with Power to affume others to them at Difcretion. And this is not fo dangerous, as at firft it may be apprehended: For, l^'Tis J44 APPENDIX. i^ 'Tis not equal to the Danger (rf go- vcrning themfelves by the old Laws 5 to •which, if they beheve they are obHg'd, they muft certainly run upon Ruin. 2^'y, The Danger is only in the Dlfcove* ry; and that may very probably be pre- vented ; for the King himfelf is a Perfon of great Secrecy ; and it may be done with him by any one Perfon, they dare truft mofl: i and where can they find a fitter than Dr. Coftns? The Grant once pafs'd, they may either fufFer it to reft with him, or have it fent hither, with Safety enough 5 and it be- ing within fo few Breafts, and thofe equally oblig'd to Concealment, what Danger can there be of Difcovery ? More Danger (you will fay) of their being difobeyed ; if they do not difcover by what Authority they do it : And fo all this will be to no Purpofe. For why fhould they affume that Power, will fome fay ? Have not they an Obedience to pay to the old Laws, as well as we ? And if they may dif- penfe with themfelves and us, why may not we do it without them, the Equity of the Cafe allowing it ? This will be eafily anfwer'd, I believe, to all 5 to the moft 1 am confidents APPENDIX.
