The
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterburies
Letter
,
to
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Yorke
.
MY
very
good
Lord
,
I
doubt
not
,
but
before
this
time
,
you
have
received
from
me
the
Directions
of
his
most
excellent
Majesty
,
concerning
preaching
and
preachers
,
which
are
so
graciously
set
downe
,
that
no
godly
or
discreet
man
can
otherwise
then
acknowledge
,
that
they
do
much
tend
to
edification
,
if
he
do
not
take
them
up
upon
report
,
but
do
punctually
consider
the
tenour
of
the
words
as
they
lie
,
and
do
not
give
an
ill
construction
to
that
,
which
may
receive
a
faire
interpretation
.
Notwithstanding
,
because
some
few
Churchmen
,
and
many
of
the
people
,
have
finisterly
conceived
as
wee
here
find
,
that
those
instructions
do
tend
to
the
restraint
of
the
exercise
of
preaching
,
and
do
in
some
sort
abate
the
number
of
Sermons
,
and
so
consequently
,
by
degrees
do
make
a
breach
to
ignorance
and
superstition
;
His
Majesty
in
his
Princely
wisedom
,
hath
thought
fit
,
that
I
should
advertise
your
Lordship
of
the
grave
and
weighty
reasons
,
which
induced
his
Highnesse
to
prescribe
that
which
is
done
.
You
are
therefore
to
know
that
his
Majesty
being
much
troubled
and
grieved
at
the
heart
,
to
hear
every
day
of
so
many
defections
from
our
Religion
both
to
Popery
and
Anabaptisme
,
or
other
points
of
separation
in
some
parts
of
this
Kingdome
,
and
considering
with
much
admiration
:
what
might
be
the
cause
thereof
,
especially
in
the
Raign
of
such
a
King
,
who
doth
so
constantly
professe
himselfe
an
open
adversary
●othe
Superstition
of
the
one
,
and
madnesse
of
the
other
:
his
P●incely
wisedom
could
fall
upon
no
one
greater
probability
,
then
the
lightnesse
,
affectednesse
and
unprofitablenesse
of
that
kinde
of
preaching
,
which
hath
been
of
late
years
to
much
taken
up
in
Court
,
University
,
City
,
and
Countrey
.
The
usuall
scope
of
very
many
Preachers
,
is
noted
to
be
soaring
up
in
points
of
Divinity
,
too
deepe
for
the
Capacity
of
the
people
or
a
mustring
up
of
much
reading
,
or
a
displaying
of
their
owne
wit
,
or
an
ignorant
medling
with
civill
matters
as
well
in
the
private
of
severall
Parishes
and
Corporations
,
as
in
the
publike
of
the
Kingdom
:
or
a
venting
of
their
owne
distast
,
or
a
smoothing
up
of
those
idle
fansies
,
which
in
this
blessed
time
of
so
long
a
peace
,
do
boile
in
the
braines
of
an
unadvised
people
,
or
lastly
,
a
rude
or
undecent
rayling
not
against
the
Doctrines
(
which
when
the
Text
shall
occasion
the
same
,
is
not
onely
approved
,
but
much
commended
by
His
Royall
Majesty
,
)
but
against
the
persons
of
Papists
and
Puritans
.
Now
the
people
bred
up
with
this
kind
of
teaching
,
and
never
instructed
in
the
Catechisme
and
fundamentall
grounds
of
Religion
,
are
for
all
this
Airy
nourishment
,
no
better
then
(
abraiae
tabulae
)
new
table-bookes
ready
to
be
filled
up
,
either
with
the
Manuals
and
Catechismes
of
the
Popish
Priests
;
or
the
papers
and
pamphlets
of
Anabaptists
,
Brownists
and
Puritans
.
His
Majesty
therefore
calling
to
mind
the
saying
of
Tertullian
Id
verum
quod
primum
:
)
and
remembring
,
with
what
doctrine
the
Church
of
England
in
her
first
and
most
happy
Reformation
did
drive
out
the
one
and
k●ep
out
the
other
from
poisoning
and
i●festing
the
people
of
this
Kingdome
doth
find
that
the
whole
scope
of
this
Doctrine
is
contained
in
the
articles
of
Religion
,
the
two
bookes
of
Homilies
,
the
lesser
and
the
greater
Catechisme
,
which
his
Majesty
doth
recommend
again
in
these
directions
as
the
Theatres
and
proper
Subjects
of
all
sound
and
edifying
preaching
.
And
so
far
are
these
directions
from
abating
that
his
Majesty
doth
expect
at
our
hands
,
that
it
should
increase
the
number
of
Sermons
,
by
renuing
upon
every
Sunday
in
the
afternoon
in
all
Parish
Churches
throughout
the
Kingdom
that
Primitive
,
and
most
profitable
Exposition
of
the
Catechisme
,
wherewith
the
people
,
(
yea
)
very
Children
may
be
timely
seasoned
and
instructed
in
all
the
heads
of
Christian
Religion
the
which
kind
of
teaching
,
(
to
our
amendment
be
it
spoken
,
)
is
more
diligently
observed
in
all
the
reformed
Churches
of
Europe
,
then
of
late
it
hath
been
here
in
England
.
I
find
his
Majesty
much
moved
with
this
neglect
,
and
resolved
:
(
if
wee
that
are
his
Bishops
,
do
not
see
a
Reformation
hereof
,
which
I
trust
we
shall
)
to
recommend
it
to
care
of
the
Civill
Magistrate
.
So
far
is
his
Highnesse
from
giving
the
least
discouragement
to
sollid
preaching
or
discreet
,
or
religious
Preachers
.
To
all
this
,
I
am
to
adde
,
that
it
is
his
Majesties
Princely
pleasure
,
that
both
the
former
directions
,
and
those
reasons
of
the
same
,
be
fairly
written
in
every
Registers
office
:
to
the
end
,
that
every
Preacher
of
what
denomination
soever
,
may
if
he
bee
so
pleased
take
out
Coppies
of
either
of
them
with
his
owne
hand
(
Gratis
)
paying
nothing
in
the
name
of
see
and
expedition
.
But
if
he
do
use
the
paines
of
the
Register
,
or
his
Clarkes
,
then
to
pay
some
moderate
fee
,
to
be
pronounced
in
open
Court
by
the
Chancellours
and
Commissaries
of
the
place
,
taking
the
direction
and
approbation
of
my
Lords
,
the
Bishops
:
Lastly
,
that
from
hence
forward
a
course
may
be
taken
,
that
every
Parson
,
Vicar
,
Curate
,
or
Lecturer
,
do
make
exhibite
of
these
his
Majesties
directions
,
and
the
reasons
for
the
same
at
the
ensuing
visitation
of
the
Bishops
and
Arch-Deacons
,
paying
to
the
Register
by
way
of
see
,
but
two
pence
at
the
time
of
the
exhibite
:
and
so
wishing
,
but
withall
in
his
Majesties
name
requiring
your
Lordship
to
have
a
speciall
and
extraordinary
c●●e
of
the
premisses
.
I
leave
you
to
the
Almmighty
.
From

Your
Lordships
very
loving
Brother
,
G.
Cant.
The
Lord
Arch-Bishops
Letter
to
the
Lord
Keeper
.
BY
this
you
see
,
his
Majesties
Princely
care
,
that
none
should
preach
Christ
crucified
,
obedience
to
the
Higher
Powers
,
and
honest
,
and
Christian
conversation
of
life
,
but
in
a
Religious
forme
;
and
not
that
every
young
man
shall
take
upon
himselfe
an
exorbitant
liberty
to
teach
what
hee
listeth
,
to
the
offence
of
his
Majesty
,
and
the
disturbance
and
disquiet
of
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
.
I
can
give
your
Lordship
no
better
directions
for
the
pursuance
hereof
,
then
are
prescribed
to
you
in
his
Majesties
Letter
,
and
the
Schedule
herewith
sent
unto
you
,
whereof
I
pray
your
Lordship
to
be
very
carefull
,
since
it
is
the
Princely
pleasure
of
his
Highnesse
to
require
an
accompt
both
of
you
and
mee
for
the
same
.
And
so
not
doubting
,
but
by
your
Register
,
or
otherwise
,
you
will
cause
these
instructions
to
bee
communicated
to
your
Clergy
.
I
leave
you
to
the
Almighty
and
remaine
.
Your
loving
Brother

To
the
Kings
most
Excellent
Maiestie
,
The
humble
Petition
of
divers
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
Estated
in
Ireland
,
now
at
London
.
Humbly
sheweth
,
THat
most
of
Your
Petitioners
,
and
many
thousands
of
Your
Maiesties
most
faithfull
Subjects
,
and
late
Inhabitants
of
Your
Kingdom
of
Ireland
,
being
robed
,
and
spoyled
of
all
their
substance
(
and
thereby
many
of
them
reduced
to
a
most
miserable
condition
,
who
formerly
faithfully
served
Your
Majestie
)
are
now
enforced
to
flee
into
this
Kingdom
by
occasion
of
the
unexampled
,
bloudy
,
and
unhuman
cruelties
of
the
Rebels
of
that
Kingdom
,
who
through
the
instigation
of
Papist
Priests
,
Friers
,
and
Iesuits
and
other
malignant
persons
,
have
risen
in
Armes
in
that
Kingdom
against
Your
Majesties
Crowne
and
Dignity
,
and
destroyed
,
or
banished
almost
all
your
Majesties
loyall
and
dutifull
Subjects
the
Protestants
there
,
for
no
other
cause
,
but
for
that
they
doe
not
worship
God
after
their
Idolatrous
and
superstitious
manner
:
which
is
manyfest
by
their
publike
Declarations
,
Speeches
,
Oathes
,
and
Confederacies
(
albeit
some
few
other
fond
pretences
are
added
,
to
glosse
their
most
barbarous
actions
)
That
these
four
moneths
past
,
the
expectation
of
powerfull
Supplies
,
Treasure
and
Ammenition
from
England
and
Scotland
,
hath
supported
the
drooping
and
languishing
Spirits
of
your
Peti●ioners
and
others
,
the
Protestants
,
interessed
in
that
Kingdom
,
who
finding
but
small
succours
hitherto
sent
thither
,
notwithstanding
the
severall
orders
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
do
now
with
unspeakable
grief
of
heart
,
apprehend
nothing
but
despaire
of
ever
being
restored
to
their
habitations
,
if
your
Majesty
be
not
graciously
pleased
to
give
life
and
power
to
the
painfull
endeavours
of
both
Houses
of
parliament
,
the
prosecution
of
that
War
necessarily
requiring
a
great
summe
of
money
to
be
presently
raised
.
And
in
all
humility
.
The
Petitioners
conceive
,
the
act
lately
passed
by
Your
Majesties
Royall
Grace
and
Goodnesse
,
(
upon
the
propositions
made
by
those
who
shall
adventure
their
moneys
)
to
bee
the
onely
way
left
for
raising
present
Money
for
that
work
.
And
they
finde
that
the
removall
of
your
sacred
Majesty
to
places
so
remote
,
and
distant
from
the
Parliament
doth
much
discourage
the
Adventurers
in
advancing
Moneys
for
effectuall
proceeding
in
the
work
,
and
consequently
will
be
a
meanes
unavoidably
to
retard
the
long
expected
supplies
,
contrary
to
Your
Majesties
Royall
intentions
often
expressed
,
and
will
much
encourage
the
Rebels
,
and
their
adherents
in
that
Kingdom
,
and
may
in
the
opinion
of
some
,
(
as
they
fain
)
gain
a
belief
of
those
false
reports
,
which
divers
of
the
Rebels
have
taken
the
boldnesse
to
raise
,
even
very
lately
,
since
the
publishing
of
your
Majesties
Proclamation
for
suppressing
the
Rebels
,
that
they
are
your
Majesties
Souldiers
and
that
the
supplies
that
arrived
here
,
were
but
the
Parliaments
supplies
.
And
your
further
Petitioners
humbly
shew
,
That
if
strong
Forces
be
not
presently
raised
,
and
transported
thither
,
(
the
season
of
the
yeare
now
serving
)
the
Brittish
and
Protestants
in
that
Kingdom
cannot
long
subsist
,
but
will
bee
extirpated
,
and
Papists
and
the
idolatrous
Masse
thereby
established
,
which
is
already
publikely
used
in
most
of
the
Churches
of
that
Kingdom
.
May
it
therefore
please
Your
most
sacred
Majesty
,
to
reflect
upon
the
desprate
and
miserable
condition
of
that
poor
Kingdom
and
waying
the
Premisses
and
other
the
consequences
of
delaying
the
effectuall
setting
forward
of
the
War
against
the
Rebels
in
Ireland
,
of
Your
Princely
goodnesse
and
wisedome
,
to
vouchsafe
Your
Maiesties
presexce
unto
Your

,
for
the
incouragement
of
the
Adventurers
,
and
all
other
your
Maiesties
good
Subiects
in
this
pious
work
for
the
discouragement
of
