to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover.

INTRODUCTION. 


Amongst  the  Manuscripts  in  the  Library  of  the  Dean 
and  Chapter  of  Durham  is  a  book  labelled  ^^  Deans 
Granvillb,"  comprising  a  number  of  letters  and  other 
documents,  partly  written  by  the  Dean,  partly  addressed 
to  him,  or  otherwise  having  a  direct  reference  to  him, 
which  were  collected  and  bound  up  together  by  Dr. 
Hunter,  the  well  known  Durham  Antiquary.  The  most 
considerable  portion  of  the  volume  consists  of  a  manu- 
script copy  of  two  sermons,  delivered  by  Dean  Gran- 
ville in  the  Cathedral  of  Durham,  previous  to  his  aban- 
donment of  his  several  dignities  and  preferments  on  the 
descent  of  the  Prince  of  Orange  upon  the  shores  of 
England,  and  of  five  letters  which  he  shortly  afterwards 
addressed  respectively  to  his  brother  the  Earl  of  Bath, 
the  Bishop  of  Durham,  the  Prebendaries  of  the  Cathe- 
dral, the  Clergy  of  his  Archdeaconry,  and  his  Curates 
at  Easington  and  Sedgefield.  To  the  latter  is  subjoined 
a  copy  of  the  "  Directions  "  which  he  had  formerly  (in 
the  year  1669)  given  in  charge  to  his  Curates  in  those 
two  parishes.  These  sermons  and  letters  were  printed 
by  the  Dean  in  the  year  1689  at  Rouen,  where  he  first 
took  refuge  after  his  departure  from  this  country,  but 
only  twenty  copies  saw  the  light  *.     It  is  consequently 

*  There  is  a  copy  in  the  British  Moseum  and  one  in  the  Bodleian 
Librarjr.    The  former  belonged  to  Dr.  Jos.  Smith,  Provost  of  Queen's

of  excessivo  raritv,  and  ito  contenU  have  therefore  been 
judged  by  the  Council  of  the  .Surtees  .S^xrimr  not  un- 
worthy of  republication,  <*onne<*te<l  as  it  is  with  a  very 
interc8tinf;  |)ericMl  of  the  histor}*  of  our  (^hurch  and 
Nation,  and  emlNnlying  aluo,  as  it  does,  the  sentiments 
of  one  of  those  highminded  men  who  chose  rather  to 
sacrifice  the  highest  preferment  than  swear  allegiance 
to  one  whom  they  regarded  lioth  as  an  invader  and 
usurper.  Another  manuscript  copy  of  the  Dean*s  pub- 
lication forms  a  portion  of  the  liawlinson  MSS.  in  the 
Bodleian  Library.  It  is  however  not  so  perfect  as  that 
preserved  by  Dr.  Hunter.  Ikith  have  evidently  been 
transcripts  from  the  Houen  imprint,  for  both  reproduce, 
almost  invariably,  the  typographical  errors  into  which 
his  ignorance  of  the  English  language  had  caused  the 
foreign  printer  to  fall.  It  is  probable  that  copies  were 
circulated  in  manuscript  amongst  the  Non -jurors,  to 
supply  the  deficiency  of  so  small  an  issue  from  the  press. 
Dr.  Uranville  occupied  a  position  of  some  eminence, 
social  as  well  as  eccU*siastical,  and  a  perusal  of  his  pub- 
lished reasons  for  withdrawal  from  England  and  the 
relinquishment  of  his  great  preferments  would  be  sought 
for  by  many  with  considerable  eagerness.     The  present

reprint  is  the  result  of  a  collation  of  Dr.  Hunter's 
manuscript  with  the  printed  copy  and  the  Rawlinson 
MS.  The  Editor  has  followed  Dr.  Hunter  in  placing 
the  Farewell-Sermons  and  the  Five  Letters  first  in  order 
of  arrangement,  though  they  are  later  in  point  of  date 
than,  with  one  or  two  exceptions,  the  letters  and  papers 
which  follow.  These,  heing  of  a  miscellaneous  character, 
and,  as  regards  many  of  them,  of  inferior  importance, 
more  fitly  form  the  second  portion  of  that  pc^t  of  the 
Society's  publications  which  is  devoted  to  Dean  Gran- 
▼ille's  Remains. 

This  latter  series  of  letters  and  papers  is  arranged  in 
chronological  order,  the  first  bearing  date  1665,  the  last 
written  in  1702.  The  collection  made  by  Dr.  Hunter 
has  been  enriched  by  the  addition  of  some  other  original 
matter,  chiefly  gathered  from  the  Tanner  Collection  and 
Dr.  Bawlinson's  MSS.  in  the  Bodleian  Library.  The 
source  from  which  each  of  these  additional  letters  or 
papers  is  derived  is  indicated  as  they  severally  occur. 
Those  which  are  undistinguished  by  any  mark  or  re- 
ference will  be  understood  to  be  portions  of  the  volume 
collected  by  Dr.  Hunter. 

Much  of  the  correspondence  is  of  a  domestic  and  per- 
soinal  character,  relating  to  the  Dean's  private  afiairs, 
and  to  the  embarrassments  with  respect  to  pecuniary 
matters  in  which  what  he  calls  ^^  his  bad  husbandry " 
involved  him.  In  connexion  with  this  portion  will  be 
found  particulars  of  the  value  of  his  Deanery,  and  the 
Rectories  of  Easington  and  Sedgefield,  and  accounts  of 
receipts  and  disbursements  of  various  kinds.  These  are 
placed  together  at  the  end  of  the  correspondence  *. 

•  The  Editor  has  not  giyen  the  whole  of  the  papers  of  this  de- 
scription preserved  by  Dr.  Hunter.    Some  are  duplicates,  and  others

Amongst  these  ciocumcnU  will  be  found,  howevpr,

ing upon  (Jburcb  matters,  at  a  period  of  wbicb  little,

The  family  f>f  GiiANViu.E*,  or  Grenville,  lays  chum 
to  great  antiquity  and  distinction.  Kichani  de  Gren- 
ville,  who  came  over  into  this  country  \%ith  William  the 
Ginquenir,  is  said  to  ha%'e  lieen  a  younger  brother  of 
Roliert  Fitz-IIamcm,  Karl  of  Carlioil,  lord  of  Thurigny 
and  Granville,  in  France  and  Normandy,  and  to  have 
been  lineally  descendeil  fn>m  Hollo,  Duke  of  Normandy. 
He  was  the  common  ancestor  of  the  Grenvilles  of  I  Devon- 
shire and  Cornwall.  It  is  8UpiM»se<l  that  he  obtaineil 
after  the  conquest  a  grant  of  the  Manor  of  Kilkhamp- 
ton;  but  howei'cr  this  may  Im\  Dugdale  mentions  it  as 
one  of  the  possc^ssions  of  the  family  as  early  as  the  time 
of  William  Kufus,  and  it  is  on  recxird  that  a  Hichanl  de

INTRODUCTION.  VU 

very  early  period,  however,  they. had  a  seat  at  Stowe,  in 
the  parish  of  Kilkhampton,  which,  for  many  generations, 
was  the  chief  residence  of  the  successive  representatives 
of  the  family.  Like  the  bearers  of  many  others  of  the 
historic  names  of  England  the  Granvilles  fjpr  centuries 
sought  no  higher  precedence  than  their  knightly  degree 
could  give  them,  but  their  antiquity  of  descent  and  the 
extent  of  their  domains  gave  them  an  influence  and  a 
power  far  superior  to  that  which  any  new  patent  of 
nobility  could  either  secure  or  confer.  Popular  accla- 
mation assigned  to  them,  moreover,  an  hereditary  cha- 
racteristic which  they  regarded  with  a  justifiable  pride. 
While  wit  was  said  to  be  never  wanting  to  a  Godolphin, 
or  courage  to  a  Trelawney,  loyalty  was  equally  held  to 
be  the  indefeasible  inheritance  of  all  who  bore  the  name 
of  Granrille. 

In  the  breast  of  no  member  of  this  antient  house  was 
the  spirit  of  loyalty  more  inherent  than  in  that  of  the 
high  spirited  and  gallant  Sir  Bevil  Granville,  one  of  the 
bravest  of  that  devoted  band  who  shed  their  life  blood 
in  the  cause  of  their  Sovereign  during  the  unhappy 
wars  which  cast  so  deep  a  shadow  over  the  17th  century. 
He  was  slain  on  the  field  of  Lansdowne,  near  Bath,  after 
having  distinguished  himself  greatly  as  Commander  of 
the  forces  for  Charles  I.  in  the  West  of  England. 

Sir  Bevil  Granville  married  Grace,  daughter  of  Sir 
George  Smith,  of  Exeter,  Knt.,  by  whom  he  had  a 
numerous  family,  several  of  whom  died  young.  Three 
sons  survived  him:  John,  the  eldest,  who  was,  on  the 
Restoration,  created  Earl  of  Bath,  Bernard,  one  of  the 
Grooms  of  the  Bedchamber  to  Charles  II.,  and  Denis, 
afterwards  Dean  and  Archdeacon  of  Durham,  the  subject 
of  the  biographical  notices  which  follow.  He  also  left 
three  daughters :  Elizabeth,  married  to  Peter  Prideaux,

Joan,  or  Joanna,  who  married  Col.  Richard  TbomhiU^ 
and  died  at  a  great  ago  in  1730. 

Denis  Graxville  was  bom  on  the  13th  Feb.  1636-7  ^ 
Of  hit  earlj  yean  we  hare  no  account  f.  He  was  ad- 
mitted a  fellow-commoner  of  Exeter  College,  Oxford,  on 
the  22nd  of  Sept.  lt)57,  and  on  Sept.  28th,  1660,  was, 
amongst  others,  cn*ateil  Master  of  Arts  in  that  Univer- 
sity, an  honour  which  he  i§  imid  to  have  owed  to  the 
'*  favour  of  his  great  relations  ;"  and  to  which  Old  An-

the  Kovalisu.'* 

It  would  appear  that  he  had  been  designed  for  the 
Church  from  his  earliest  years.  In  his  letter  to  the 
Earl  of  Itath  he  mentions  the  intention  of  his  parents  to 
devote  one  of  their  sons  to  the  especial  service  of  God 
in  his  Church.  The  lot,  as  he  expresses  it,  fell  upon 
him,  and  he  fulfilled  their  pious  intention  by  *'  devoting 
himself  thereto,  honestly,  with  good  will  to  God's  ser- 
vice, and  without  designe," — ''in  a  time  of  adversity

take  place  until  after  the  Restoration,  for  we  learn  from 
a  letter  addressed  to  his  friend  Beverid^e  that  they  re- 
pressive of  his  feelings  with  reference  to  undertaking  the  office  and 
work  of  the  ministry,  is  given  in  the  Life  of  Mr.  George  Trosse. 

"  Cadleigh,  July  28, 1660. 

"  Dear  friend !  I  had  according  to  my  promise,  written  to  you 
before  this  time,  had  I  gotten  into  Devonshire  as  soon  as  I  imagined 
I  should.  I  met  with  an  ohstacle  in  my  journey  down,  which 
oblig'd  me  to  go  towards  London ;  where  I  tarried  near  a  month's 
space,  and  was  hasten'd  thence  upon  the  sad  occasion  which  I 
believe  you  have  heard  of  long  ere  this,  I  mean  the  loss  of  my 
brother  Leache,  who  is  as  much  lamented  in  these  parts,  as  any  man 
bath  been  these  many  years.  And  triily,  I  think,  very  justly,  having 
great  ground  to  conclude  that  Ood  hath  sanctified  his  dispensations 
towards  him  unto  his  soul,  by  several  passages  before  and  since  his 
death,  and  that  he  would  have  prov'd  a  great  instrument  of  Gt)d's 
^ory,  and  of  good  unto  his  country,  had  it  been  the  will  of  Qod  to 
have  granted  him  a  long  life.  But,  blessed  be  God,  howsoever  he 
disposeth  of  us :  for  his  dealings  with  us  are  for  the  best,  tho'  they 
appear  to  us  otherwise. 

"  I  do  yet,  T  bless  God,  hold  my  resolutions,  by  his  assistance,  of 
undertaking  the  ministry ;  and  hope,  that  by  his  grace  I  shall  con- 
tinue in  them ;  which  that  I  may  do,  I  beg  your  prayers,  and  the 
prayers  of  all  good  Christians :  for  I  am  not  insensible  of  the  many 
difficulties  which  I  have  to  struggle  with ;  but,  I  praise  God,  where 
I  feared  I  might  have  met  with  some,  I  have  not  yet  met  with  any,  I 
mean  amongst  my  own  relations ;  for  I'll  assure  you  that  not  one  of 
them  hath  us'd  any  argument  to  dissuade  me  from  being  a  minister. 
I  confess  some  others  have  occasionally  done  it ;  but  I  trust  in  God

His  marriage  about  this  time  with  Anne  daughter  of 
Bishop  Cosin,  gave  him  no  doubt  a  claim  to  future 
patronage  which  was  scarcely  likely  to  be  overlooked. 
But  there  is  no  reason  to  suppose  that  he  was  a  man 
who  received  preferment  «imply  on  the  ground  of  family 
connexion.  There  is  abundant  evidence  that  he  threw 
himself  gallantly  into  the  work  of  re-construction  which 
was  so  much  needed  in  the  diocese  over  which  Cosin 
was  called  to  preside  when  the  Church  and  the  Monarchy 
were  re-established.  And  Cosin  was  a  man  of  far  too 
high  administrative  power  to  select  unfit  instruments  as 
his  coadjutors  in  the  task  which  he  so  resolutely  took  in 
band. 

The  work  which  the  Bishops  of  the  Church  of  Eng- 
land had  then  to  accomplish  was,  in  truth,  one  of  no 
small  difficulty.  The  correspondence  of  many  of  the 
occupants  of  the  episcopal  bench  at  that  period  suffi- 
ciently shews  in  how  disorganized  a  state,  as  regarded 
ecclesiastical  matters,  their  dioceses  were  found  when 
episcopal  rule  was  once  more  established  *.  The  diocese 
of  Durham  was  no  exception.     In  Northumberland  the 


leplj  that  the  Bishop  says  that  "  the  Bectory  of  Kilkhampton,  for- 
merly Bishop  Monk's  and  now  Mr.  Orenvil's,  he  conceives  is  better 
than  Cottenham,  for  Mr.  Orenvile  saith  it  is  worth  £300  and  some- 
timea  £400,  and  if  Dr.  Manby  would  take  that  instead  of  Houghton 
in  exchange,  and  you  accept  of  Cottenham,  it  would  please  him  so 
much  the  better."  "  I  had  rather  a  great  deal,"  adds  Mr.  Davenport, 
"  see  Mr.  Qrenvil  at  Houghton  than  Dr.  Manby."— Tanner  MSS. 
zlviiL  55. 

*  Even  as  late  as  1670  we  find  Bishop  Hacket  complaining  to 
Archbiahop  Sheldon  that  ^*  Nothing  is  a  more  common  trespass  then 
omitting  or  curtailing  Divine  service."  Tanner  MSS.  zliv.  206. 
The  reports  which  the  Primate  received  from  other  dioceses  were  not 
more  cheering.

only  appearance  of  tpiritual  life  which  manifested  itaelf 
seems  to  have  been  shewn  in  the  boldness  with  which 
the  Roman  Catholics  ventured  upon  the  public  exercise 
of  their  religion.  *^  In  severall  places  of  that  Archdea- 
cpnrie  masses  arc  openly  and  publiquely  saide,  and  warn*

Fopery  did  not  prevail  Puritanism  had  done  little.

of  minor-canons*  and  singing-men,  which  (ininville 
complained  of  as  prevailing  in  the  Cathedral  itself  f,  and 
of  the  sluttish  and  disordc*rly  habits  which,  as  we  learn 
from  Cosin  J,  characterized  many  of  its  highest  digni- 
tarit*s  even  when  attending  the  service  of  God  v^ithin 
the  walls  of  its  choir,  we  c*an  scarcely  suppose  that  the 
offices  of  the  Church  would  be  solemnized  with  much 
rubrical  order  in  the  secluded  comers  of  the  Bishopric,

dact  or  appearance  of  those  who  there  ministered  at  her 
altars. 

That  such  irregularities  and  disorders  should  exist, 
need  occasion  no  surprise,  even  when  we  find  them  pre- 
vailing after  Cosin  had  for  some  years  occupied  the  see 
of  Durham.  The  Act  of  Uniformity  was  no  doubt  the 
means  of  ridding  the  Church  of  England  of  a  vast 
number  of  those  who  opposed  her  doctrine  and  disliked 
her  discipline.  But  those  who  withdrew  themselves,  or 
who  were  turned  out  of  the  benefices  they  occupied,  on 
the  day  of  St.  Bartholomew,  1662,  were,  for  the  most 
part,  the  best  and  most  conscientious  of  the  Puritan 
party.  There  was  a  residuum  left  for  whom  we  cannot 
entertain  the  same  respect.  Some,  without  any  one 
fixed  principle  except  hatred  of  the  Church,  had  in- 
truded themselves  into  benefices  during  the  unsettled 
times  of  the  Commonwealth  ;  others  also  were  in  pos- 
session of  preferments,  whose  afiections  and  sympathies 
were  with  the  ejected  ministers,  but  over  whose  minds 
conscience  exercised  less  power  than  the  solid  advan- 
tages of  glebe  and  tythe.  Those  who  belonged  to  either 
class,  yielded  but  a  reluctant  assent,  when  yielded  at  all, 
to  the  Episcopal  and  Archidiaconal  injunctions  of  men 
like  Cosin,  Basire,  and  Granville,  who  both  taught  in 
words  and  exemplified  by  action  the  most  entire  and 
implicit  obedience  to  the  Rubrics  and  Canons  of  the 
Church  of  England. 

These  semi-conformists  were  indeed  a  great  thorn  in 
the  side  of  Cosin  and  his  co-adjutors ;  and  they  were 
not  confined  to  the  ranks  of  the  less  important  clergy 
who  occupied  the  rural  livings  of  the  Diocese.  They 
were  to  be  found  also  in  the  high  places  of  the  Church. 
When  Cosin  came  to  the  see  he  had  little  opportunity

of  filling  the  stalls  of  the  Cathedral  with  his  own  friends. 
In  six  of  them  their  old  occupants  were  reinstated,  while 
five  at  least  of  the  remainder  had  been  filled  up  by 
Charles  II.  before  the  Uishop  had  received  the  tem- 
poralities of  the  See.  And  though  such  men  as  Basire, 
Wrench  *,  and  perhaps  Neile,  were  like-minded  with 
himself,  jet  the  presence  in  Chapter  of  a  man  like 
Wood,  who  was  a  thorough  Puritan  f,  added  to  indiflfer-

the  Reri  of  Manchester  in  1014,  and  at  the  Beetoralion  finding  a 
worthj  man  in  hii  place,  he  would  not  diiturb  him.  He  was  after* 
warda  preferred  to  the  aizth  prebend  in  the  Church  of  I>urham.

Primati*.  The  first  extrart  is  curious  also  as  ginng  lome  account  of

ence  and  carelessness  on  the  part  of  others,  would  neu- 
tralize many  of  Cosin's  endeavours  to  make  his  Cathedral 
Church  a  model  for  the  rest  of  the  Diocese.  To  the 
determination  and  vigour  with  which  he  prosecuted  his 
purpose  to  make  it  such,  his  Articles  of  Visitation  hear 
ample  testimony;  as  do  also  his  Comperts  and  Considera- 
tions on  the  Answers  of  the  Dean  and  Prebendaries,  and 
a  curious  paper  on  the  Privileges  of  the  Church  of  Dur- 
ham. These  papers,  as  far  as  the  Editor  is  aware,  have 
never  been  printed.     They  do  not,  at  any  rate,  occur  in

Church.     Gk>d  remove  him  from  us."     Tanner  MSS.  zliv.  66. 

Two  days  after  the  Bishop  again  writes: — "My  most  humble 
requ^  (and  in  great  earnest)  to  your  Grace,  is,  to  entreat  with  my 
Lord  Bishop  of  Durham  to  call  of  our  most  untractable  and  filthy 
natur'd  Dean  from  hence,  and  to  command  him  to  his  benefice,  or 
his  prebend  at  Durham.  He  is  a  professt  favourer  of  non  con- 
formists. His  wife  comes  sometimes  to  sermons  (as  to  Dr.  Boibton) 
but  not  above  twice  in  3  months  to  Cathedral  praiers.  I  rebuke  the 
Dean  for  keeping  companie  with  Puritans  alltogether.  He  answer'd 
mee  scornfully,  he  did  so,  and  he  would  do  so.  For  the  sake  of  the 
welfare  of  a  poore  church,  and  for  Ood's  sake,  at  least  carie  bim 
away  hence  to  Durham.  He  hath  kept  his  residence  to  his  full 
dales.  And  his  bretheren  the  residentiaries  will  praise  God  for  his 
absence."— Tanner  MSS.  zliv.  69. 

Dr.  Wood  nevertheless  became  eventually  Bishop  Hacket's  suc- 
cessor at  Lichfield,  through  the  unworthy  intervention  of  the  Duchess 
of  Cleveland,  whose  favour  he  gained  by  contriving  that  his  niece,  a 
wealthy  heiress,  to  whom  he  was  guardian,  should  marry  the  Duke 
of  Southampton,  the  Duchess'  son  by  Charles  11.  His  subsequent 
grosB  and  flagrant  neglect  of  his  episcopal  duties  led  to  a  remarkable 
and  unusual  exercise  of  discipline  on  the  part  of  Archbishop  Sancroft, 
namely,  the  suspension,  of  Bishop  Wood  fi9m  his  episcopal  dignity 
and  functions,  which  took  place  in  April,  1684. — S^  D'Oyly's  Life

them  in  his  Appendix,  as  an  illustration  of  the  state  of 
the  Cathedral  of  Durham  during  the  earlier  part  of 
l)ean  Granville's  connexion  with  it. 

C)f  the  manner  in  which  Bishop  Coain  proceeded  to 
restore  order  and  uniformity  in  the  ministrations  of  the 
parochial  Clergy,  we  gain  information  from  a  similar 
source.  His  Articles  of  Inquir}'  addressed  to  the  (*lergy 
and  (liun^hwardens  arc  extxHHlingly  minute  and  curious. 
They  have  been  pnntinl  in  the  coUei*tion  of  his  works

with  the  (Queries  put  forth  by  Granville,  when  he  after* 
wants  held  his  Visitations  of  the  Clergy  as  Archdeacon 
of  Durham.  The  similarity  Wtween  the  two  dcM*uments 
is  c»bvious,  and  it  shews  how  fully  the  Archdeacon  car- 
ri(Ml  out  the  views  and  prin<*iplt»s  of  his  early  patnon,  and 
how  thon>ughly  emh  do(*ument  was  gniunded  upon  the

INTRODUCTION.  XVU 

Such  was  Sancroft,  an  old  and  tried  friend,  with  whom 
he  had  maintained  a  constant  correspondence  during 
the  time  of  the  Commonwealth,  when  Cosin  took  refuge 
in  France  and  Sancroft  found  a  home  at  Utrecht.  After 
the  Restoration  he  made  him  his  chaplain,  and  hestowed 
upon  him  the  valuable  rectory  of  Houghton-le- Spring, 
and  facilitated  an  exchange  of  prebendal  stalls  which 
placed  him  in  the  Cathedral  of  Durham.  Another  of 
the  same  school  was  Davenport,  who  succeeded  Sancroft 
at  Houghton  when  the  latter  was  promoted  to  the 
Deanery  of  St.  Paul's,  a  man  of  most  blameless  and 
apostolic  life,  and  of  munificence  which  is  even  yet 
remembered  ♦•  A  third  was  his  son-in-law,  Denis 
Granville,  whose  birth  and  connexions  would,  no  doubt, 
have  secured  him  preferment  in  any  diocese  he  might 
have  entered,  independent  of  any  family  connexion  with 
the  prelate  who  presided  over  it.  Whose  zeal  and  ac- 
tivity in  his  several  characters  of  Parish-priest,  Pre- 

*  He  Dsed  to  say  that  "  he  feared  to  die  with  any  of  the  Church's 
goods  in  his  hands."  A  danger,  says  Surtees,  which  he  probahly 
avoided,  for  he  rebuilt  the  rectory  from  the  ground,  added  a  domestic 
chapel,  and  endowed  one-half  of  the  alms-house. — Hist.  Durham,  i. 
171.  What  his  own  feelings  were  with  respect  to  the  "  good  works 
and  almsdeeds  which  he  did,"  we  have  an  interesting  indication  in 
the  following  extract  of  a  letter  to  his  friend  Sancroft.—"!  love  a 
man  that  lo?eth  the  Church  as  well  as  his  own  flesh  and  blood.  And 
I  am  of  opinion  that  we  priests  that  liave  no  wives,  ought  to  look 
upon  the  Church  and  poor  as  our  next  heires.  And  truly  I  could 
think  well  of  myselfe,  if  I  could  be  assured  that  I  have  profited  the 
living  Church  as  much  as  I  have  bettered  the  matenall  and  dead 
church,  by  my  means  or  money.  But  when  I  think  of  that  burden 
that  was  laid  on  me  when  I  was  made  priest  [till  no  place  be  left 
either  for  viciousness  of  life  or  error  in  doctrine]  fearfulness  and 
trembliDg  take  hold  upon  me ;  and  in  this  thing  Ood  be  mercyfull  to 
me,  and  to  all  priests."— Tanner  MSB.  xliv.  281.

bcndary^  and  Archdeacon  went  far  to  justify  his  munifi-

caused  the  Bishop  much  vexation. 

The  earliest  preferments  which  Granville  received 
from  Hishop  Cosin  were  the  first  stall  in  the  Cathedral, 
his  instalUtion  to  which  bears  date  Sept.  24,  1GG2,  and 
the  Archdeaconry  of  Durham,  with  the  Itectorj*  of

of  Sedgefield,  occasioninl  also  a  vacancy  in  the  second, 
or  Golden,  stall  in  the  Cathedral,  to  which  Granville 
was  removed  on  the  IGth  April,  1668. 

These  were  assunnlly  great  preferments,  too  great 
indeed,  in  some  respects,  to  be  given  to  so  young  a  man 
as  Denis  Granville  then  was  ;  for  the  possession  of  a 
splendid  income,  without  the  previous  discipline  of  that 
early  struggle  with  the  world  which  most  men  have  to 
undergo,  pnxluced  the  not  ver}*  unusual  result  of  lavish 
expi*nditure  and  c*onse<iuent  embarrassment.  We  soon 
find  that  he  was  frequently  absent  from  his  benefices. 
In  Oxford  he  could  have  the  advantage  of  literary 
society ;  in  Ix>ndon  his  noble  birth  and  great  connexions, 
and  his  position  as  Chaplain*in-<irdinary  to  the  King, 
gave  him  a  ready  access  to  the  very  highest  society. 
And  these  two  pUces,  not  unnaturally,  offered  far 
higher  attractions  to  a  man  of  his  time  of  life  than  any 
thing  which  either  Ihirham  or  his  country  parstmages 
could  aflTord.  (>n  the  tHHh  of  Ikm^mber,  1670,  he  Uiok 
his  Doctor  of  Divinity's  degree  at  Oxford.  When  he 
left  the  north  for  this  purpose  he  seems  to  have  con- 
templated a  long  absence;  for  Dean  Sudbury  says  in  a

letter  dated  Nov.  18th  in  that  year,  "We  expect  a 
letter  **  (viz.  a  Royal  dispensation)  "  in  behalf  of  Mr. 
Greenvill,  who  intends  to  continue  with  his  wife  at 
London  not  onely  this  winter,  but  another  spring  and 
fall,  if  not  longer."  His  father-in-law  writes  about  the 
same  time  with  his  accustomed  acrimony :  "  I  know  not 
what  to  do  with  Mr.  Grenvyle,  who  is  still  at  Oxford, 
idling  away  his  time,  and  suflfering  his  Curates  to  be 
non-resident  at  Easington  and  Sedgefield,  as  hee  him- 
selfe  is,  under  colour  of  his  wife's  taking  physick,  who 
for  ought  I  see  never  needed  any,  for,  from  her  coming 
to  Durham  to  this  day,  she  was  never  better  in  all  her 
life,  though  she  be  now  thrust  up  into  a  coop,  and  a 
strait  close  place,  which  may  much  endanger  her  health. 
But  hee  is  a  wilful  man,  and  will  order  her  as  he  lists. 
In  the  meanwhile,  though  I  went  to  visit  both  him  and 
her  a  month  since,  I  never  saw  either  of  them  at  my 
lodgings  here,  for  she  dares  not  go  forth  of  her  own 
without  his  leave,  which  leave,  it  seems,  hee  left  not 
behind  him  ♦."

was  the  case.  It  was  in  vain  that  he  pleaded  his  piivi- 
l^e  as  Chaplain-in-ordinary  to  the  King.  The  bailiffs 
were  inexorable,  an  appeal  to  Mr.  Richard  Neile,  the 
under-sheriff,  was  equally  unsuccessful,  and  Dr.  Gran- 
ville was  carried  off  to  gaol,  "  with  many  aggravating 
circumstances." 

The  matter,  however,  was  not  allowed  to  rest  there. 
The  appeal  which  was  made  in  vain  to  the  Under- 
sheriff  and  his  bailiffs  was  brought  before  the  King  in 
conncil  without  much  delay.  On  the  17th  of  the  same 
month  of  July  Dr.  Granville's  petition  was  read  at  the 
Council-board  at  Hampton  Court  *,  and  all  parties  con- 
cerned f  in  making  the  arrest  were  ordered  to  appear 
within  ten  days  before  the  Council-board.  The  result 
was,  that  ^^  the  King  was  pleased  very  much  to  repre- 
hend Mr.  Camabie,  a  person  concerned  in  it,  and  to 
direct  his  Attorney-General  to  prosecute  him  and  Mr. 
Neile.  But  on  the  submission  of  Mr.  Camabie  a  pardon 
was  granted  to  him,  and  also  to  Mr.  Richard  Neile,  on

learn  from  Mickleton,  lost  his  office  of  Under-sheriff. 
i  hi  his  submission  he  was  probably  reinstated. 

It  would  ap{)ear  fcom  a  letter,  written  soon  after  this 
occurrence,  by  ^fr.  Isaac  liasire  to  the  Karl  of  lUth, 
that  the  sharp  lesson  whi(*h  this  arrest  taught  him  as 
to  the  results  of  imprudent  management  of  financial 
matters  was  not  altogether  thrown  away  upon  I>r.  Gran- 
ville. He  ap{M^ars  to  have  circumscribed  his  expendi- 
turt*  within  more  prudent  limits,  but  it  is  manifest  also, 
from  his  brother-in-law's  letter,  that  his  thoughts  had 
begun  even  then  to  turn  in  the  direction  of  the  dignity 
to  whi(*h  he  afterwanb  attaininl.  The  postscript  to  this 
lett4T  evidently  shews  that  Dean  Sudbury *s  health  was 
supposed  to  be  breaking,  and  it  is  no  less  clear  from  its 
commencement  that  the  Earl  of  liath's  interest  with  the 
King  had  been  sought  in  onler  that  I>r.  Granville  might 
su^Tcd  him.  His  accession  to  it  might  free  him,  it  was 
hope<l,  from  the  embarrassments  which  pressed  upon  him, 
and  his  fitness  to  fill  a  distinguished  post  is  vouched  for 
by  Mr.  liasire  with  the  warm  partiality  of  a  devoted 
friend  and  near  connexion.  The  instances  which  Mr. 
Rasire  gives  of  I>r.  (franville*s  readiness  and  ability  as 
a  prea<*her  shew  him  to  have  been  a  man  of  very  con- 
siderable |K)wer. 

With  the  exception  of  a  congratulatory  letter  to  Arch-

is  little  in  his  correspondence  at  this  particular  period 
which  possesses  very  peculiar  interest.  The  letters 
which  appear  are  few  in  number,  and  relate  almost  ex- 
clusively to  his  private  concerns,  which  seem  indeed  to 
have  been  at  all  times  in  a  very  hampered  state.  "  I 
cannot  manage  nor  mind  these  money  affairs,"  is  his 
own  candid  confession.  But,  in  justice  to  him,  it  must 
also  be  said,  that  an  honourable  readiness  to  discharge 
his  obligations  was  never  wanting,  even  at  the  cost  of  a 
ruinous  discount.  We  find  him  telling  Mr.  Isaac  Basire, 
whose  brother  appears  to  have  advanced  him  money,  and 
to  have  been  put  to  some  inconvenience  by  its  non-pay- 
ment, that  ^^  he  is  so  far  from  being  unconcerned  for  him 
that  he  would  gladly  betake  himself  to  his  old  bad  hus- 
bandry, and  give  20/.  per  cent,  rather  than  bee  should 
longer  want  it." 

But  we  need  not  dwell  longer  upon  these  results  of 
thoughtless  •  and  profuse  expenditure.  It  brought  with 
it  its  own  punishment,  embittering  many  an  hour  of  his 
after  life,  and  occasioning  much  self-reproach  and  pain- 
ful retrospection.  Enough  has  been  said  to  give  truth 
to  the  portrait  by  the  laying  in  of  the  shadows,  let  us 
proceed  to  the  more  pleasing  task  of  giving  prominence 
to  the  brighter  parts  of  the  picture,  by  recording  some 
of  those  indications  of  character  which  drew  forth  from 
Barnabas  Oley,  the  biographer  of  the  saintly  Herbert, 
and  himself  an  eminently  religious  man,  '^  the  expression 
which  he  usually  had  when  he  mentioned  him," — "  the 
title  of  the  truly  pious  and  devout  good  man.  Dr.  Gran- 
ville;" and  which,  as  we  have  seen,  rendered  him  not 
unworthy,  in  the  eyes  of  Bishop  Cosin,  to  fill  the  re- 
sponsible post  of  Archdeacon  of  Durham,  at  a  time 
when  no  small  amount  of  judgment  and  firmness  was 


XXIV  INTRODUCnO!!. 

re<{uire<l  for  the  worthy  discharge  of  ita  rotpootible 
duties. 

It  18  at  all  times  interesting  to  mark  the  modus 
opt^rnndi  which  has  been  adopte<l  at  {periods  uf  partictdar 
exif^*ncy  by  those  whose  position  or  character  mark 
thcni  out  as  leaders*  The  Restoration  was  such  a 
period.  Monarchy  was  a^rain  U)  resume  its  sway  as  the 
mode  of  civil  government,  and  Episcopacy  was  oooe 
more  established  as  the  form  of  ecclesiastical  rule. 
But  the  relations  of  scxriety,  both  in  its  temporal  and 
religious  aspects,  were  greatly  disorganized.  As  regards 
the  latter,  as  has  already  been  oWrved,  the  difficulties 
which  beset  the  Hisht»ps  of  the  Church  of  England  when 
they  resumed  their  functions  were  many  and  multiplied. 

Disorder  and  the  abuse  of  private  judgment  were 
bi^ytmd  all  question  the  prominent  excesses  of  those  by 
whom  the  religious  feelings  of  the  people  were  directed 
during  the  period  of  the  Commonwealth,  and  to  repress 
this  unscriptural  and  Utopian  licence  was  the  great 
object  of  the  leaders  of  the  Church  of  England.  With 
Yi  view  to  this  they  sought  above  all  things  to  obtain 
uniformity,  and  a  thorough  obedience  to  the  rubricka 
and  canons  of  the  Church ;  more  especially  on  the  part 
of  the  clergy.  Cpon  this  leading  principle  they  acted, 
and  to  this  we  owe  the  review  of  the  Liturgy  in  1601 
and  the  consequent  Act  of  Cniformity.  The  pniceod* 
ings  of  the  authorities  of  the  (*hurch  at  that  time,  and 
the  {mssing  of  that  Act,  have  been  often  censured  as 
t4io  unlientiing,  and  not  sufficiently  marked  by  prudent 
conciliatitm.  Uut  the  accusation,  if  just,  is  one  to  which 
the  stat4'  of  the  times  and  the  history  of  the  recent  ex- 
cesses furnish  the  best  reply.  Just  as  the  prevalence  of 
a  particular  heresy  within  the  Chorch  has  ever  canted 


INTRODUCTION.  XXV 

an  exaggerated  prominence,  so  to  speak,  to.be  given  to 
the  opposite  truth  by  those  who  deeply  feel  the  danger 
of  the  error;  so,  at  the  period  in  question,  the  passive 
obedience  to  rulers,  and  the  rigid  and  unbending  ad- 
herence to  rubrick  and  canon  which  were  souofht  to  be 
80  carefully  enforced,  might  be  said  to  be  but  an  in- 
stinctive attempt  to  tighten  the  cords  of  discipline  which 
had  become  so  fatally  relaxed  when  Rebellion  was  a  war- 
cry  and  all  reverent  observance  and  decent  ceremonial 
in  the  worship  of  Gtxl  became  the  object  of  contempt 
and  hatred.  But  it  was  more  than  this.  There  is  a 
necessary  coiinection  between  doctrine  and  discipline. 
And  the  rulers  of  the  Church  were  too  learned  and 
sagacious  not  to  accept  this  as  an  axiom.  They  knew 
full  well  that,  to  meet  the  necessities  of  man's  complex 
nature,  spiritual  truth  requires  to  be  incorporated  with 
forms,  and  ceremonies,  and  outward  symbols,  and  that 
rule  and  order  are  necessary  to  its  existence.  The  Puritan 
overlooked  this»  His  was  more  a  religion  of  feeling 
than  of  obedience ;  and  technical  creeds,  and  positive 
enactments  as  to  seasons  and  ceremonies,  were,  in  hil 
eyes,  only  chains  and  fetters  which  destroyed  the  free- 
dcmi  of  an  enlightened  worshipper.  But  excesses  as 
gross  as  they  were  inconsistent  in  those  who  so  loudly 
damonred  for  the  exercise  of  their  own  Christian  liberty, 
had  accompanied  the  ascendancy  of  such  views,  and 
wane  too  recent  to  be  either  forgotten  or  overlooked. 

The  line  therefore  which  every  devout  and  pious 
churchman  of  that  time  might  be  expected  to  take  would 
be  more  especially  on  the  side  of  rituatl  order  and  ob- 
aenrance.  The  hatred  which  the  Puritans  bore  to  forms 
and  ceremonies,  their  impatience  of  rule,  and  their  re- 
Inctanoe  to  subcnrdination  were  neither  extinct  nor  para-

fluences can  scarcely  be  re);ardcd  as  either  useless  or 
uninteresting.  The  reader  will  be  able  to  glean,  in  the 
course  of  the  pages  which  follow,  some  information  of 
this  nature,  in  the  diocese  of  which  Cosin  was  Bishop, 
and  Granville  Archdeacon,  and  subsequently  Dean.  It 
is  important,  moreover,  to  bear  in  mind,  that  the  prin* 
ciples  and  practices  which  they  inculcated  and  carried 
out,  with  more  or  less  success,  were  those  of  an  older 
school,  wherein  had  been  trained  such  men  as  Wren, 
Bishop  of  Norwich,  the  saintly  Herbert,  Hammond,  and 
many  others,  who,  though  thoroughly  opposed  to  the 
spirit  and  practices  of  Puritanism,  were  yet  unbending 
enemies  of  the  corruptions  of  the  Church  of  Itome. 

The'great  strength  of  any  Church  must  always  lay  in 
her  parochial  ministrations,  and  the  manner  in  which 
they  are  carried  out  and  discharged  by  those  who  m^rve 
It  her  altars;  and  no  document  or  work  is  uninteresting 
which  tends  to  throw  light  upon  the  manner  in  whic-h 
the  Clergy,  at  any  period  of  the  Church's  histor}%  have 
performed  their  onlinary  but  all  important  functions. 

( )f  the  manner  in  which  parochial  work  was  carried 
out  in  the  17th  i*entury  we  have  been  accustomed  to 
form  some  notion  from  the  ideal  picture  which  the  han<l 
of  lietirge  Herliert  has  trare<i  in  his  **  Conmr  Paiwox," 
a  work  of  which  the  lapse  of  more  than  two  centuries 
has  neither  destroyed  the  charm  nor  remlercd  obsolete 
the  instructive  less4>ns.  But  in  the  course  of  the  pages 
which  follow  will  tie  found  a  very  curious  and  instructive 
doc!ument   bearing  upon  this  subject^  and   afliNrding  a 


INTRODUCTION.  XXVll 

Iife-Iik6  picture,  not  imaginary  but  real,  of  what,  in 
modem  phrase,  would  be  called  the  working  of  a  parish. 
It  is  the  paper  of  Directions  already  mentioned  as  having 
been  issued  by  Granville  in  1669. to  his  Curates  at 
Easington  and  Sedgefield.  The  minuteness  and  par- 
ticularity with  which,  in  his  double  capacity  of  Rector 
and  Archdeacon,  he  enjoins  the  observance  of  rubrics, 
the  manner  in  which  he  enters  into  various  details 
respecting  the  services  of  the  Church  and  the  inter- 
course of  his  Curates  with  the  parishioners,  the  practical 
common  sense  and  evident  sincerity  of  its  tone,  render 
this  a  very  valuable  illustration,  not  only  of  the  period 
to  which  it  belongs,  but  of  the  religious  feeling  and 
character  of  the  writer.  Not  one  of  the  least  interest- 
ing indications  of  the  latter  is  the  recommendation  he 
gives  his  Curates  to  observe,  ^^  as  far  as  they  shall  be 
able,  the  Venerable  Mr.  George  Herbert's  method  and 
rule,  prescribed  in  his  *  Country  Parson,  or  character  of 
an  holy  Priest,'  which  book,"  he  goes  on  to  say,  "  as  I 
recommend  to  all  the  Clergy  in  my  Jurisdiction,  so  do  I 
more  especially  to  my  Curates,  for  their  rule  and  direc- 
tion in  order  to  the  exemplary  discharge  of  their  func- 
tion, having  always  made  it  mine.''  A  striking  testi- 
mony to  the  value  of  Herbert's  book,  a,nd  to  its  popu- 
larity as  a  compendium  of  pastoral  theology.  It  is 
worth  remarking  also,  that  high  as  were  Granville's 
Tiews  and  feelings  on  the  subject  of  the  passive  obedi- 
ence which  some  writers  seem  to  imagine  was  the  chief 
and  almost  only  doctrine  preached  by  the  clergy  of  his 
school,  we  find  little  or  no  indication  of  any  desire  to 
give  it  prominence  in  his  parochial  teaching.  The 
pulpit  was,  by  his  direction,  to  be  "  reserved  for  more

success  of  bis  efforts  are  found  in  a  diary  kept  by  Granrille 
in  the  year  1683,  of  which,  unfortunately,  only  a  small  part 
has  been  preserved.  He  details,  amongst  other  things, 
some  conversations  he  bad  with  the  Lord  Primate  of 
Scotland,  and  that  eminent  person  Sir  William  Dug- 
dale.  The  latter  appears  to  have  entered  into  some 
particulars  respecting  bis  progress  into  the  north,  on 
his  heraldic  visitation  in  the  year  lOGG,  and  ^^  spake 
much  in  comendation  of  Bishop  Cosins  and  I>r,  Basiere, 
highly  comending  the  conformity  of  the  place."  The 
IVimate  eiprt'sses  himself  to  the  same  effect,  taking 
occasion  ^^  to  repeate  bis  comendations  of  the  good  order 
and  conformity  of  our  Diocesse,  saying  that  Bishopp 
Cosins  was  a  great  man,  and  an  excellent  governor.** 

At  the  time  that  (tranville  was  recording  these  testi- 
monies to  the  worth  of  that  eminent  prelate,  twelve 
years  had  passed  away  since  bis  removal  (in  1671)  from 
the  scene  of  bis  labours.  But  bis  strong  and  vigorous 
mind  had  left  its  impress  behind,  and  upon  none  more 
strongly  than  his  son-in-law  and  Archdeacon,  Denis 
Granville,  who  exempli6ed  in  his  own  person,  and 
strove  to  impress  upon  all  who  came  within  the  sphere 
of  his  influence,  that  strict  conformitv  which  Cosin  had 
taken  so  much  pains  to  enforce. 

But  it  was  evidently  uphill  work.  ^  The  exact  con- 
formity which  Bishop  Cosins  set  on  foot  *'  in  his  dioctrse 
was  not  easily  maintained,  and  arguments  were  brought 


INTRODUCnON.  XXIX 

against  Dr.  Granville's  efforts  to  keep  it  up  ^^  from  the 
practice  of  the  generality  of  eminent^  clergy  elsewhere, 
and  sometimes  from  the  practice  of  the  very  Cathedrals.'' 
So  we  find  him  complaining  to  Sir  William  Dugdale. 
Yet,  in  spite  of  all  this,  as  compared  with  others  the 
diocese  of  Dmrham  maintained  a  high  position.  We 
find  Granville  telling  his  Sovereign  that  it  was  ^t  with- 
out dispute  the  most  exemplary  county  for  good  order 
and  conformity  of  any  in  the  nation." 

His  efforts  were  especially  directed  at  this  time  to  the 
general  and  permanent  establishment  of  three  things, 
viz.  a  strict  observance  of  the  55th  Canon  with  respect 
to  the  use  of  Bidding  Prayer,  Daily  Prayer  in  Parish 
Churches,  and  Weekly  Sacraments,  at  least,  in  Cathe- 
drals. The  first  seems  to  have  been  a  point  of  order 
on  which  he  laid  great  stress,  even  to  the  extent  of  per- 
sonally pressing  the  subject  upon  the  attention  of  his 
Boyal  Master*.  Bishop  Cosin  had  attached,  as  we 
learn,  considerable  importance  to  it,  for  the  obvious 
reason  that  the  semi-conformists,  or  puritanical  party 
of  the  Church  of  England,  took  advantage  of  the  ab- 
sence of  any  express  rubric  with  respect  to  it,  and  pre- 
faced their  sermons  with  prayers  of  their  own  devising, 
which,  as  Sir  William  Dugdale  observed,  "  was  a  shibo- 
leth  whereby  to  distinguish  the  fanatic  party,  and  that 
if  the  liberty  which  ministers  take,  bee  not  seasonably 
check'd,  it  may  ones  more  runne  down  the  liturgy  f ." 
With  regard  to  the  second  the  reader  will  find  some 
interesting  observation  in  Granville's  letter  to  Arch- 
bishop  Sancroft  of  the  26th  Sept.  1683,  wherein  is

^*  to  observe  the  like  good  ordier,  if  the  Cathedral  did 
not  authorize  the  breach  of  law  in  having  no  weekly 
sacrament."  To  the  restoration  of  the  latter,  therefore 
he  devoted  all  his  strength,  evidently  regarding  it  as  a 
sort  of  main-spring  upon  which  the  orderly  working  of 
the  rest  of  the  diocese  very  greatly  depended.  It  was 
a  matter  which  for  years  he  urged  with  the  utmost  per- 
severance, not  only,  as  he  tells  Sir  William  Dugdale, 
"  for  the  honour  of  God's  service,"  but  as  being  "  the 
only  considerable  matter  in  our  Cathedral  or  Diocess 
which  Bishop  Cosins  left  uncompleted."  Of  his  anxiety 
on  the  subject  there  are  many  indications  in  the  follow- 
ing pages,  but  it  may  not  be  out  of  place  here  to  record 
also  some  extracts  from  his  letters  on  the  subject  to  his 
friend  Dr.  Comber,  which  are  given  in  the  Life  of  that 
Divine,  now  a  very  scarce  book.  He  speaks  of  waiting 
upon  the  Archbishop  of  York  concerning  his  "  great 
affair  about  the  weekly  sacrament,  which  above  all  other 
matters  oppresses  his  mind."  He  has  Dr.  Beveridge's 
warm  sympathy.  "  I  am  told,"  he  adds,  "  by  Dr.  Beve- 
ridge  that  it  is  intended  to  have  one,  when  St.  Paul's  is 
rebuilt,  in  that  Cathedrall;  and  by  the  Dean  of  Canter- 
bury that  they  are  likely  soon  to  set  one  up  in  their 
church,  which  will  have  a  great  influence  on  all  the 
cathedrals  in  the  kingdom.  Dr.  Beveridge  his  devout 
practice  and  order  in  his  church,  doth  exceedingly  edify 
the  city,  and  his  congregation  encreases  every  week :  he 
hath  seldom  less  than  fourscore,  sometime  six  or  seven 
score  communicants,  and  a  great  many  young  appren- 
tices, who  come  there  every  Lord's  day  with  great  devo- 
tion. The  doctor  approves  of  my  honest  designes,  and 
hath  confirmed  mee  very  much  in  my  resolutions,  and

In  another  letter  he  urges  on  I>r.  Comber  to  aMitt  him, 
in  the  roott  strenuous  terms.  ^*  To  retume  to  mv  old 
topick  of  pushing  on  the  trtekl}/  socramefit^  jou  and  I 
are  more  particularly  concerned  in  this  good  worke  than 
any  other  clerg}'men  that  I  know  of  in  the  whole  pro- 
rinoe,  and  I  am  certaine  that  it  it  the  expectation  of 
severall  clergy  and  devout  people  in  these  parts  that  wee 
should  doe  more  than  others.  You  are  looked  upon  to 
bee  the  greatest  champion  for  the  Common  Prayer- 
Itooke  in  the  whole  country,  (nay,  perchance  in  all 
England;)  and  I  am  considered  as  one  of  the  more 
exac*t  observers  of  the  rubrick,  and  sticklers  for  con* 
formity  ;  ami  I  dare  without  pride  or  vanity  owne  thai 
I  am  an  heartv  lover  of  the  booke,  and  have  in  mee 
some  innate  love  of  order.  Really,  l>r.  Comber,  this  is 
a  great  and  excellent  worke,  and  will  doe  God  more 
service  than  all  your  past  labours  or  my  past  indeavours

a  wonderfull  influence  over  all  the  north,  and  shame  the 
oth<T  cathtHirallrt  into  the  like  practice :  which  aocom*

vint*e,  would  in  a  powrrfull  manner  preach  to  all  the 
inferior  clergy*  not  only  fre<}uent  communion,  but  exact 
c«niformity.  Without  doubt  these  means  that  are  of 
(*hrist*s  <iwne  institution,  and  the  inaim|)arable  esta- 
bliiihed  onler  of  our  owne  church  (the  most  incom-

deyotion,  oonformity  and  loyalty  in  the  land*.  The 
Editor  of  Dr.  Comber's  life  does  not  give  the  dates  of 
these  letters,  but  from  the  place  assigned  them  in  his 
volume  they  were  in  all  probability  written  in  1683,  the 
year  in  which,  as  we  learn  from  his  Journal,  and  other 
sources,  Grranville  was  especially  engaged  in  urging  the 
necessity  of  this  return  to  exact  conformity,  upon  the 
highest  authorities  in  the  Church.  His  representations 
were  not  without  their  weight.  Weekly  Communion 
was  soon  afterwards  established  ^^  in  the  Metropolitical 
Church  of  Canterbury,  as  appears  from  a  letter  of  Dr. 
Tillotson,  Dean  of  Canterbury,  still  extant  f,"  and  in 
1685  "  the  Archbishop  of  York  issued  his  commands  to 
have  the  holy  Sacrament  administered  every  Lord's  day 
in  the  cathedral  at  York,  and  on  the  26th  April  this 
laudable  practice  first  began  J."  A  letter  from  Dr. 
Granville  to  his  friend  Comber  is  written  in  the  most 
enthusiastic  terms  on  the  receipt  of  this  intelligence, 
declaring  that  ^^hee  is  ready  to  absolve  him  from  all 
his  sins  for  the  comfortable  news  hee  sends  him  of  the 
weekly  sacrament  being  set  up  in  the  cathedrall  at 
Yorke."  And  in  the  Cathedrd  of  Durham,  also,  his 
perseverance  in  the  revival  of  "this  long  sleeping 
rubric,"  as  Comber  calls  it,  was  at  length  successful  §. 
From  a  letter  addressed  by  Granville  to  Archbishop 
Sancroft  in  October,  1685,  we  find  that  an  Injunction 
had  recently  been  issued  by  the  Bishop  for  its  restora- 
tion.    The  position  he  had  then  attained  as  Dean  of

next  oenturj.    Archbishop  Harcourt  ordered  its  resumption  in  1841.

Durham  no  doubt  ailded  weif^ht  to  his  rqircscntationt 
on  the  subject. 

To  this  (iif^nity  he  was  promoted  in  December  1G84, 
on  the  dtH*eaiie  of  Dr.  John  Sudbur\\  whose  health  had 
lonf;  been  failinfi^.  The  likelihood  of  a  speedy  racancr 
occasioned  somewhat  of  a  struf^gle  for  the  fpre^i  prefer- 
ment which  he  held.  The  powerful  interest  of  the  Karl 
of  Ilath  had  lieen  exerted  some  time  previously  to  secure 
the  Deanery  for  his  brother,  in  opposition  to  the  scarcely 
less  powerful  interest  of  the  Bishop  of  Durham,  who  was 
etjually  anxious  to  secure  it  for  his  nephew,  Dr.  Moo- 
taf^e.  The  letters  which  the  Bishop  aildresse^l  on  the 
subject  to  his  Chanc(*llor,  Sir  Kichanl  Lloyd,  are  both 
curious  and  amusinf^.  In  these  he  dilates  at  some  lenfrth 
upon  the  relative  advantafjes  and  disadvantaf^  of  the 
I>eanery  of  Durham  and  the  Mastership  of  Sherbum 
Hospital,  a  preferment  which  l>r.  Montague  already 
held,  and  tries  to  induce  I>r.  (iranville  to  content  himself 
with  Sherbum  when  his  nephew  should  be  advanced  to 
the  I>eanery.  Sherbum,  however,  presented  its  attrac* 
tions  in  vain :  the  Bath  interest  prevailed  over  that  of 
Crewe,  in  spite  of  some  opposition  on  the  part  of  San* 
croft,  and  Denis  (iranville  was  installed  I^ean  of  Dor* 
ham,  n*tainin);  also  his  An*hdeaconry,  and  the  Itectoriea 
of  Kasinj^on  and  Stnlp^field.  His  ai*(*ession  to  this 
dif^ity  cn'ate<l  a  vacancy  in  his  prebendal  stall,  which 
was  filled  up  by  the  appointment  of  his  m*phew  Sir 
Georfje  Wheler. 

The  restoraticm  of  WiH»kly  Communion  in  the  Catbe* 
dral  of  Ihirham  was,  as  wv  have  seen,  the  first  act  of 
importance  whirh  he  acxHimplishtHl  after  his  aci*t*ssion 
Ui  his  new  di^rnity.  To  this  he  stNin  addi^l  a  further 
revival  of  antient  pnu*ticv: — the  preachiiii?  of  sermons 


INTRODUCTION.  XXXV 

in  the  Cathedral  on  the  Wednesdays  and  Fridays  in 
Advent  and  Lent.  The  Dean  himself  preached  the 
opening  sermon  on  the  2d  Dec.  1686,  being  the  first 
Wednesday  in  Advent  in  that  year.  It  was  afterwards 
published.  It  would  appear  that  a  similar  course  of 
sermons  during  those  seasons  was  at  that  time  the  prac- 
tice of  the  Metropolitical  Church  of  York,  and  had  for- 
merly been  customary  in  the  Cathedral  of  Durham. 

Much  of  the  subsequent  miscellaneous  correspondence 
at  this  period  relates  to  arrangements  which  were  made 
for  the  gradual  liquidation  of  his  incumbrances  out  of 
the  revenues  of  the  Deanery.  Nevertheless  from  re- 
ferences which  occur  to  subjects  of  more  public  interest 
we  see  how  matters  were  then  tending.  In  June  1687  we 
find  that  the  Dean  was  in  London,  and  he  tells  us  of  his 
having  been  ^^  sorely  attaqued  at  York,  and  all  along  the 
road  by  the  voters  for  non-addresses  to  the  King,"  but 
he  can  discern  nothing  substantial  in  the  arguments  by 
which  they  sought  to  bring  him  to  their  views  *.  In 
March  of  the  following  year  the  King  was  on  the  eve  of 
issuing  his  second  Declaration  of  Indulgence,  that  fatal 
measure  which  proved  how  wrongly  he  had  estimated 
his  own  strength,  and  his  subjects'  submission  and 
patience.  In  the  midst  of  much  censure  the  Dean  of 
Durham  had  nevertheless  prepared  himself  to  follow  out 


*  Amongst  those  who  ''  attaqued  "  him  Dr.  Comber,  no  doubt,  was 
one.  Cartwright,  Bishop  of  Chester,  had  urged  the  Dean  of  York  to 
use  bis  utmost  endeavours  to  prevail  upon  his  Chapter  to  send  an 
Address  of  thanks  to  the  King  for  his  Declaration  of  Indulgence,  (of 
the  4th  April  1687)  but  Dr.  Comber  "  so  eflTectuallj  opposed  this 
attempt  that  not  a  single  individual  set  his  hand  to  the  address.** — 
See  Comber's  Life  of  Comber,  p.  237.  Dr.  Comber  appears  to  have 
accompanied  Dean  Granville  on  his  journey  to  London.

Ijoi  my  liege  and  dread  Sovereign  intend  to  do  what  he

better  circumstances  without  resisting  the  King  in  lawful 
i^ommands,  there  is  no  remetly  but  Christian  patience  *.*' 
Consistently  with  these  sentiments,  which,  in  his  case, 
were  not  those  (»f  a  men*  sycophantic  time-server,  like

In  the  autumn  of  Hixy^  the  intelligence  that  the

for  loyalty  of  the  Hishtiprick  of  Durham,  the  Iran's  first

to  a  Christian  Prince,  and  to  a  prince  soe  mercifuU  and 
gracious  as  ours,  by  consequence  would  be  more  guilty, 
if  they  should  rebell  against  or  resist  him,  merely  be- 
cause he  professed  a  different  religion  *." 

He  then  repaired  to  his  Deanery  at  Durham,  and 
^^  summoned  his  brethren  the  Prebendaryes  together 
into  their  Chapterhouse,"  for  the  purpose  of  laying 
before  them  the  duty  which  he  conceived  was  incum- 
bent on  them  all  to  assist  the  King  in  his  present 
exigency  "  with  their  purses,  as  well  as  their  prayers." 
All  present  complied  with  the  Dean's  proposition,  and 
an  Act  in  Chapter  was  passed  granting  700/.  for  his 
Majesty's  service;  100/.  from  the  Dean  and  50/.  from 
each  of  the  Prebendaries,  to  which  all  who  were  absent 
from  Durham  at  the  time,  with  one  exception,  gave 
their  assent  by  letter.  The  Bishop  being  absent  in 
London,  Granville  next  called  the  Clergy  of  his  Arch- 
deaconry together,  to  confirm,  if  it  might  be,  the  loyalty 
of  the  wavering,  and  to  do  all  that  in  him  lay,  as  he 
somewhat  pathetically  expresses  it,  ^^  to  awaken  those 
out  of  their  sin  whom  he  could  not  confirm  in  their 
duty."  In  the  course  of  the  Address  he  delivered  to 
them  he  eames^y  set  before  them  the  duty  of  assisting 
t^eir  Sovereign  at  the  impending  crisis,  and  of  securing 
their  flocks  by  every  means  in  their  power  from  being 
seduced  by  the  arguments  of  his  enemies. 

The  Dean  was  further  anxious  that  his  brethren 
of  the  Chapter  and  the  Magistracy  of  the  County 
should  have  united  with  him  in  a  loyal  address  to  the 
King,  expressive  of  their  horror  of  the  invasion  with 
which  his  dominions  were  threatened,  but  the  pro-

pufiition  was  coldly  rcceired,  and  he  was  obligixl  to 
satisfy  himself  by  forwarding;  to  his  Majesty  his  own 
personal  assurances  of  devoted  allegiance.  This  addreM 
was  intercept4*d  at  York,  and  fell  into  the  hands  of  the 
Karl  of  Danbv.  and  the  other  adherents  of  the  Prince  of 
Orange,  who  hail  already  seized  upon  that  city,  and 
^^were  some  of  them  advancing  northwards  to  secura 
Durham  and  Newcastle.'*  A  fruitless  attempt  was  made 
by  Granville  to  induce  the  Magistrates  and  Itcpoly 
Lieutenants  to  take  mea^iurcs  to  check  this  advanoei 
and  Durliam  was  entennl  by  Ixird  Lumley  with  a  small 
force  on  the  5th  of  I>ein»mlier,  whilst  the  Dean  was 
preaching  one  of  the  Advent  sermons  in  the  Cathedral. 
No  opposition  was  offeriHl.  The  Dean  was  summoned 
to  deliver  up  his  arms  and  horses,  and  on  refusal  was 
confined  within  the  walls  of  the  Deanery  during  the 
occupation  of  the  city  by  the  friends  of  the  invader.

hopeless  aspect  as  far  as  James'  cause  was  concerned, 
and  Granville  began  to  despair  of  being  of  any  further 
service  to  his  Sovereign  by  remaining  at  his  post.  His 
personal  liberty  appears  also  to  have  been  in  some 
danger,  and  after  much  consideration  he  finally  resolved 
upon  flight. 

Accordingly,  at  midnight  of  the  11th  of  December 
Dean  Granville  quitted  the  walls  of  the  Deanery,  never 
again,  as  it  proved,  to  re-enter  them..  His  journey  to 
Carlisle,  his  reception  there,  and  the  hardships  he  un- 
derwent before  he  could  pursue  his  way  to  Edinburgh, 
are  graphically  described  by  him  in  his  letter  to  his 
brother,  the  Earl  of  Bath.  Soon  after  his  arrival  in 
Edinburgh  an  opportunity  offered  of  embarking  for 
France,  of  which  he  readily  availed  himself,  being 
anxious  above  all  things  to  join  his  Sovereign.  On  the 
19th  of  March  he  landed  at  Honfleur,  where  he  had  the 
mortification  of  learning  that  he  had  arrived  the  very 
day  after  James'  departure  from  Brest  for  Ireland.  His 
stay  here  was  of  short  duration,  for  on  the  25th  of  the 
same  month  he  departed  for  Rouen,  where  he  took  up 
his  abode  with  Mr.  Thomas  Hackett,  an  English  mer- 
chant resident  in  that  city,  from  whom  he  appears  to 
have  experienced  no  ordinary  kindness  and  attention. 

In  this  city  he  resided  at  intervals  for  several  years, 
occupjring  himself  during  the  earlier  part  of  the  time  in 
committing  to  the  press  the  Farewell  Sermons  and  Let- 
ters which  are  now  reprinted.  In  February  1689-90  he 
undertook  "  a  hazardous  journey  into  England,"  "whereby 
he  got  a  small  sum  of  money  to  subsist  awhile  abroad 

tho'  with  much  trouble  and  danger,  occasioned 

him  by  an  impertinent  and  malitious  postmaster,  who 
discovered  him  in  Canterbury."    From  a  letter  addressed 


Xl  INTBODUCnoK. 

to  Sancroft  after  h\»  arrival  in  Knglancl  it  is  eTidenl 
that  he  had  entirely  withdrawn  himself  from  all  com- 
munion with  those  who  had  taken  the  oath  to  the 
new  Sovon*igns  •. 

I  lis  determination  on  this  point  was  not  to  be  shaken. 
Throu(i[h  the  inten^st  of  his  brother  the  Karl  of  liath, 
who,  grievously  to  the  I  Hum's  mortificaticm  and  sorrow, 
hail  sullie<l,  as  he  det»m€*d  it,  the  hitherto  stainless  loy- 
alty of  the  house  of  (iranville  by  espousing  the  cause  of 
the  usurper,  he  is  sai<l  to  have  been  enabled  for  somo 
time  to  retain  his  revenu(*s.  But  after  his  olistinate 
refusal  to  take  the  (mth«  he  was  stripped  of  his  prefer* 
nM^nts  on  the  1st  February-  ItiOO-I,  the  dav  fixed  bv  Act 
of  Parliament  for  the  deprivation  of  all  those  clergy  wlui, 
up  to  that  date,  should  have  refused  compliance  with  the 
conditions  which  it  impose<l.

distress  on  this  sad  occasion  is  proved  by  the  following 
order:  *Dec.  8.  1690.  Whereas  upon  a  complaint  made 
to  the  Chapter  on  the  behalf  of  Madam  Anne  Granville, 
wife  of  Dr.  Granville,  Dean  of  this  Cathedral,  that  it 
appears  that  she  is  left  destitute  and  unprovided  for  her

•  In  the  following  extract  from  a  letter  to  H.  Wanley  from  Dr. 
Smith,  Prebendary  of  Durham,  the  learned  !E!ditor  of  Bede,  we  have 
an  account  of  a  portion  of  the  Dean's  Library.  '*  The  best  collection 
we  have  of  Bibles  and  Common-prayer  books  in  this  place  is  that 
which  was  made  with  a  great  deal  of  pains  by  the  late  Dean  Ghranville, 
and  is  now  in  the  library  of  our  excellent  friend  Sir  G.  Wheler,  by 
whose  leave  I  have  extracted  for  you  what  follows  in  order  as  they 
stand  in  their  places.  1.  Queen  Elizabeth's  Bible,  with  Cranmer's 
preface,  &c.  Imprinted  at  London  by  Chr.  Barker,  1578.  Fol.  (with 
distinction  of  verses).  2.  Queen  Elizabeth's  Bible,  imperfect  to  f.  x., 
and  from  f.  xcix.  (without  distinction  of  verses).  3.  Tiudale's  trans- 
lation of -the  Bible  (in  lesser  fol.)  with  his  prefaces,  &c.,  printed 
by   John  Daye,   1651.     Dedicated  to  the  King  by  Bdm**  Beck. 

4.  Bichard  Tavemer's  translation,  printed  by  John  Byddel  for 
Thomas  Barthlet,  1539,  fol.  minor.,  and  dedicated  to  the   King. 

5.  Another  Edition  of  Tindale,  in  a  larger  letter,  with  his  prologues, 
but  printed  the  same  year  as  above,  1551.  Imperfect  both  in  the 
beginning  and  ending.  6.  Another  edition  of  Tindal,  with  Beck's 
dedication,  notes,  <Sx;.,  printed  by  John  Day  and  William  Seres,  1549. 
7.  King  James's  Bible,  printed  by  Eobert  Barker,  1616.  8.  King 
Henry  8^*'  Bible  of  the  largest  volume,  overseen  and  perused  by 
Cuthbert,  Bishop  of  Durham  and  Nicolas,  Bishop  of  Bochester, 
printed  by  £i.  Grafton,  1541,  with  Cranmer's  preface.  9.  Bible  in

conferred  upon  him  by  James ;  but  this,  if  true,  forms 
a  solitary  exception  to  the  ungracious  manner  in  which 
he,  and  the  other  members  of  the  Church  of  England 
were  treated,  by  the  master  for  whom  they  had  sacrificed 
so  much.  They  were  desirous,  not  unnaturally,  of 
having  a  chapel  assigned  them  at  St.  Germain's  "for 
the  exercise  of  their  worship  according  to  the  Church  of 
England ;  and  proposed  Dr.  Granville  as  a  fit  person  to 
be  their  chaplain :  they  urged  the  great  incouragement 
such  a  toleration  would  give  to  his  adherents  in  England, 
and  what  satisfaction  it  would  be  to  such  Protestants  as 
followed  him :  but  tho'  common  policy,  and  his  circum- 
stances made  every  body  believe  that  this  request  would 
be  easily  granted,  yet  it  was  positively  denied,  and  Dr. 
Granvile  obliged  not  only  to  retire  from  court,  but  also 
firom  the  town  of  St.  Germain,  to  avoid  the  daily 
insults  of  the  priests,  and  the  dreaded  consequences  of 
the  jealousies  with  which  they  posses't  King  James' 
court  against  him  *."  * 

"In  1695  he  came  incognito  to  England,  but  soon 
returned."  No  allusion  to  this  visit  is  found  in  his 
correspondence.  Its  object  was,  in  all  probability,  to 
obtain  some  pecuniary  assistance  f .

Brit.  Art.  Denifl  Granville.  "  None  of  his  Protestant  followers  were 
Ousted.  Colonel  Cannan  refusing  to  join  the  Church  of  Eome  was 
reduced  to  a  very  small  allowance.  Being  sick,  he  received  the 
Sacrament  of  Dr.  Granville,  hut  some  priests  actually  thrust  a  wafer 
down  his  throat  after  he  hecame  insensible,  and  published  that  he 
died  a  member  of  the  Church  of  Bome.  It  seems  that  the  priests, 
and  no  doubt  the  King  approved,  endeavoured  to  bring  over  every 
Protestant  to  their  own  Church." — Macky's  Memoirs,  xxxvi.,  xliii.

April,  1703,  N.  S.,  continued  ill  that  night  and  the 
next  day  (at  Corbeil,  7  leagues  from  Paris,  upon  the 
Seyne,  in  the  way  to  Fontainebleau,  where  he  commonly 
resided,  and  was  much'  delighted  with  the  place,  and 
the  rather  because  he  there  discovered  the  original  of 
his  ancestors).  On  Saturday  the  14th  finding  himself 
something  better,  he  went  to  his  lodgings  at  Paris,  upon 
the  Fossed  St.  Victoire.  On  Sunday  the  16th  the  ague 
or  fever  retum'd,  continued  the  16th  and  17th,  and  on 
Wednesday  the  18th  at  6  in  the  morning  he  dyed, 
and  was  privately  bury'd  in  consecrated  ground  within 
the  city  of  Paris  *,  either  that  or  next  night,  [by  Dr. 
Taylourf,  from  whom  I  took  this  account  June  9th 
1713.]  attended  by  Mr.  Thomas  Higgins  his  nephew  and 
some  few  of  his  acquaintance  of  the  Church  of  England." 

Dr.  Granville  never  had  any  family.  Little  allusion 
to  his  wife  occurs  in  the  correspondence.  From  the 
memorandum  quoted  by  Dr.  Zouch  from  the  Act  Book 
of  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Durham  as  to  the  pension 
allowed  her  by  that  Body,  it  would  appear  that  she  bad 
not  followed  her  husband  in  his  exile.

INTRODUCTION.  xlvii 

Due  allowance  must  be  made  for  the  partiality  of  a 
near  kinsman,  and  consequently  for  expressions  which 
may  be  allowed  to  wear  the  aspect  of  exaggeration;  but 
in  spite  of  the  infirmities  and  consequent  errors  which 
often  accompany  an  ardent  and  impetuous  temperament, 
there  was  a  substratum  of  genuine  excellence  in  the 
Dean's  character  which  went  far  to  justify  the  warm 
and  laudatory  expressions  of  his  affectionate  nephew. 
Nascitur  a  sociis  is  a  trite  and  well  worn  proverb,  and 
we  may  be  well  assured  that  men  like  Beveridge  and 
Comber  would  not  have  given  their  friendship  to  one 
who  had  not  many  qualities  of  mind  and  heart  in  unison 
and  accordance  with  their  own  undoubted  excellence 
and  real  piety.  Of  the  sincerity  of  the  Dean's  religious 
feelings  there  can  be  little  doubt,  and  their  outward 
expression,  it  is  almost  unnecessary  to  say,  was  ever  in 
subordination  to  the  rules  and  ordinances  of  his  spiritual 
mother  the  Church  of  England.  His  devoted  attach- 
ment to  that  Church  and  his  unswerving  loyalty  to  an 
ungrateful  Sovereign  are  indeed  traits  in  his  character 
which  cannot  be  over-estimated,  and  to  which  it  is 
impossible  for  any  one  to  refuse  his  meed  of  approbation. 
The  sacrifice  of  interest  to  conscience  is  a  thing  which 
must  ever  command  admiration. 

Without  making  any  pretence  to  deep  learning.  Dean 
Granville  was  evidently  no  contemptible  scholar,  and 
possessed  natural  abilities  of  no  mean  order.  He 
appears  to  have  devoted  some  attention  to  liturgical 
studies ;  to  the  prosecution  of  which  "  the  good  advice 
which  he  had  many  times  from  Bishop  Cosins,"  and 
also,  as  it  would  seem,  from  Bancroft,  appears  to  have 
inclined  him.  We  have  an  interesting  testimony  to  his 
desire  of  furthering  the  growth  of  learning  among  the

younger  clergy  of  the  diocx^sc  in  a  letter  from  Sir  (ieorge 
Wh«*ler  to  the  Rev.  Ilamond  Beaumont*,  who  had  been 
(iranville*ri  C'uratir  at  Se<l;^efield,  dated  Augutit  19th, 
1(>03.  After  alluding  to  the  ''pious  and  devout  temper'* 
which  diMtinguif(he<l  the  iK^an  when  an  under-graduate 
at  Oxford,  ai»  testifunl  by  Bishop  (  n*we,  and  to  bin  zeml 
in  the  restoration  (»f  the  Wt^ekly  Sacrament  in  the 
Cathedral  of  hurham,  he  gtH^s  cm  to  speak  of  '*  his  pur- 
pose to  make  the  (  athedral  the  great  S4*minar}'  of  young 
Divines  for  the  I>i<ii^'ss4*;  and  to  this  end,  to  invite 
ingenuous  young  men  to  \h*  Minor-Canons,  he  got  this 
onler  {Mist  in  Chapter,  that  what  preferment  the  (*hapter 
had  to  disiMMk*  of,  the  Minor-(  an(»ns,  according  to  their 
seniority,  meritts,  and  <tes4»rts,  should  have  the  option 
liefore  any  other;  and  to  further  them  in  their  studies, 
did  intend  them  the  use  of  the  College  librar}' ;  and  that 
they  might  continue  a  regtdar  and  cM>llegiate  life,  had 
often  thoughts  of  pitting  them  KMlgings  enacted  in  the

that  his  (*urat«Hs  np{M*ar  to  have  rei*<'iv4Hl  from  him

{lassagi^s  in  the  pages  whi(*h  follow  lead  to  the  inference 
that  they  formed  {mrt  of  his  hous4*hold  ^,  often  acting  as

INTRODUCTION.  xHx 

The  Editor  does  not  conceive  it  necessary  to  oflfer  any 
remarks  upon  the  motives  or  reasons  by  which  the  Dean 
was  actuated  in  refusing  to  recognize  the  Prince  of 
Orange  as  Eing,  and  in  submitting  to  the  deprivation  of 
his  preferments  which  followed  that  course  of  conduct. 
The  merit  of  consistency  at  all  events  must  be  allowed 
him.  He  tells  us  himself  that  "  his,  religion  and  loyalty 
were  not  of  the  new  cut,"  and  that  for  six  and  twenty 
years  previous  to  the  abdication  of  James  he  had  upheld 
the  principles  which  led  him  then  to  abandon  every 
thing  to  follow  his  Master,  "  valuing  his  innocency  and 
quiet  of  conscience  more  than' the  best  *Bishoprick  and 
Deanery  in  England."  Of  the  validity  of  the  arguments 
by  which  he  fortified  himself  in  the  course  which  he 
adopted  difierent  notions  will  be  entertained  according 
to  the  political  bias  of  the  reader.  No  one,  probably,  in 
the  present  day,  will  be  found  so  far  imbued  with  the 


of  the  latter,  the  Dean  writes : — '*  I  am  persuaded  that  to  be  your 
aasiatant  for  a  year  or  two  in  your  cure,  and  you  superintend  his 
ttudies,  and  make  him  a  complete  churchman,  would  bee  most  eligible, 
and  I  see  nothing  to  contradict  it  but  camall  reasoning.  I  am  of 
opinion  that  if  he  had  not  been  diverted  from  his  designe  of  living 
with  mee  some  time  at  Easington  (though  hee  would  not  have  had 
halfe  the  advantage  as  by  living  with  you,  in  point  of  learning  and 
^ecolative  divinity,)  it  would  have  been  more  profitable  for  him  than 
the  taking  upon  Um  such  a  cure  as  you  have  in  view  for  him.  Not 
doubting  of  the  reality  of  what  I  say,  I  have  invited  my  nephew,  Sir 
QeoTgd  Wheeler  (who  writ  the  Travels  and  went  into  orders  last 
year,)  to  come  and  live  with  mee,  and  officiate  for  mee  in  the  same 
eticnmstances  that  Mr.  Purchas  was  to  have  done.  Sure  I  am  itt 
will  bee  noe  nnvnse  thing  in  mee  to  secure  him,  as  I  should  thereby 
eDJoy  the  company  and  assistance  of  a  learned  and  pious  coadjutor, 
with  whom  I  should  bee  the  better  pleased,  because  hee  is  an  hearty 
lover  and  honaurer  of  my  Master  Comber ^  and  a  zealous  studier  of  his 
CommoD-Fhiyer  Book."— Comber's  Life  of  Comber,  p.  181.

ungrateful  if  he  did  not  likewise  record  his  own  indi- 
vidual thanks  to  that  Body  for  the  liberal  access  at  all 
times  permitted  him  to  other  Books  and  MSS.  in  their 
Library,  a  privilege  which  has  enabled  him  to  furnish 
the  illustrative  matter  contained  in  the  Appendix.  To 
the  late  Keeper  of  the  Bodleian  Library,  Dr.  Bandinel, 
and  to  his  successor,  the  Rev.  H.  O.  Coxe,  his  thanks 
are  also  due  for  the  facilities  afforded  him  in  making  his 
researches  in  that  repository.  The  courtesy  and  kind-

with  pleasure.

IK   THE    YEABE   OF   OUB   LOBD    GOD,   M.DC.LXXXIX. 


TO  THE  QUEEN  OF  ENGLAND. 


May  rr  please  your  Majesty, 

Almighty  God  haveing  enabled  me  by  his  grace  to  resist  those 
temptations,  which  have  overcome  the  greatest  number  of  the 
members  of  my  own  Church  and  Count^,  and  being  now  inca- 
pacitated here  abroad  to  render  my  Sovereign  and  your  Majesty 
Detter  servises  than  to  owne  your  righteous  cause,  I  think  my 
fldfe  oblig'd  to  give  the  world  a  more  than  ordinary  testimony 
of  my  sincere  loyalty  and  resolution  in  all  times  and  changes  to 
adhere  unalterably  to  the  Crown.  Haveing  therfor  already 
sacraficed  my  revenew  by  quitting  the  nation,  rather  than  sub- 
mit to  the  usurpation,  and  exposed  my  selfe  to  censure  and 
obloquy  in  that  part  of  England  wherein  I  have  lived,  bv  re- 
fuseing  to  head  or  joyne  with  those  my  dependants  there, 
ecdesiasticall  and  secular,  who  have  departed  from  their  alle- 
giance ;  I  know  of  noe  better  and  convmcing  instance  yet  re- 
maining to  be  fi:iven  b^  me  of  my  stedfastness  to  stick  to,  and 
serve  the  Boycdl  Family,  than  to  proclaim  that  I  dare  speak 
truth  here  abroad  from  the  press,  as  well  as  from  the  pidpit  at 
home ;  tho'  every  one  must  foreknow  that  such  an  honest  bolde- 
ness  will  unavoidably  render  me  uncapable  of  the  favour  and 
good  oppinion  of  all  those  persons  in  the  nation  (hi^h  and  low, 
spirituail  and  temporall)  who  have  shipwrackt  their  faith  and 
consciences  by  ceasing  to  yield  (after  often  sweareing)  alleigiance 
and  fidelity  to  their  Sovereigne.  And  it  is  easy  to  foresee  the 
printing  these  and  some  other  papers  at  this  time,  in  mine  owne 
name  will  thus  render  me  obnoxious  (as  I  am  content  to  be)  to 
all  those  builders  who  employ  themselves  in  erecting  a  new 
Monarchy  and  Chui^h  in  Engmnd.  But  the  aspersions  of  them 
that  forsake  their  religion,  as  far  as  they  desart  their  lawfull 
Kege  lord,  (as  I  hope  the  following  sheets  will  evidence)  will  be 
noe  intolerable  load  to  me,  who  desire  noe  greater  honour  and 
satisfaction,  than  to  share  with  my  King,  Queen  and  hopefuU 
young  Prince  in  their  misfortunes ;  and  thereby  to  demonstrate 
that  my  poor  distressed  Mother,  in  the  greatest  and  most  gene- 
rail  defection  (as  this  seems  to  bee)  that  ever  was  among  any 
king  of  England's  subjects,  will  never  want  some  to  bear  testi- 
mony to  the  truth  of  her  doctrine,  who,  according  to  the  ex-

TO  THE  READER. 

The  subject  matter  of  these  ensueing  sheets  concerning  Chris- 
tian resolution  and  humble  submission  to  the  will  of  God  in 
times  of  distress,  (according  to  the  example  of  the  holy  Patriarch 
Jacob)  and  hearty  subjection  to  the  King,  according  to  the  doc- 
trine of  the  Church  of  England,  and  our  many  indispensable 
tyes  of  conscience,  will,  with  all  those  few  who  truely  fear  God 
and  honour  the  King,  sufficiently  apologize  (I  hope)  for  the 
publication  of  them  in  a  juncture  and  an  age  advanced  to  the 
tii^est  contempt  and  defiance  both  of  loyalty  and  religion. 

That  incensed  God  who  hath,  for  our  manifold  provocations, 
and  more  particularly  (wee  have  reason  to  believe)  for  our 
carnal  confidence  in  the  arm  of  flesh,  and  disobedience  to  God's 
vicegerent,  pour'd  out  the  vials  of  his  wrath  on  three  kingdoms, 
is  not  like  to  be  appeased  without  the  serious  practice  of  the 
contrary  graces,  in  a  manner  as  universall  and  generall,  as  hath 
been  our  late  notorious  defection  towards  the  King  by  an  ab- 
hor'd  detestable  violation  of  the  many  sacred  and  often  repeated 
oaths  whereby  all  subjects  were  obliged  to  support  his  crown; 
and  dignity. 

Such  is  my  sence  of  what  is  past,  and  dread  of  Almighty 
QoA^B  future  indignation,  when  I  consider  that  I  am  (how  weak 
and  unworthy  soever)  advanced  to  a  publick  station  in  the 
Church  of  England,  that  I  cannot  satisfy  my  selfe  with  mourn- 
ing in  secret,  but  conceive  it  my  indispensible  duty  to  proclaim 
(aner  such  a  stupendious  revolution)  as  soon,  and  as  well  as  I  am 
able,  to  all  persons  in  the  kin^om,  my  unfeigned  resolution  to 
adhere  to  my  Soveraign  in  his  distress ;  lest  I  may  by  silence 
contribute  to  the  increase  of  that  dangerous  lethargy  which 
hath  seiz'd  on  the  people  of  England,  who,  by  resisting,  and  at 
length  desarting  their  Prince,  have  apostatized  from  their  reli- 
gion. 

I  have  helped  possibly  as  little  as  any  one  of  my  brethren  or 
fellow  subjects  in  the  nation,  to  the  first  growth  of  this  disease ; 
having  for  26  years  together  open'd  my  mouth  widely  on  topicks 
which  would  have  prevented  (had  they  met  with  due  regard) 
our  present  misery :  and  for  truth  whereof  I  appeal  to  the  whole 
Jurisdiction  whereto  I  have  [been]  long  related. 

But,  however,  I  cannot  think  my  selfe  perfectly  disengag'd  to

AUTHOR  S   INTRODUCTION. 


did  nor  shall  pretend  to ;  and  that  in  the  xnoneth  of  November 
'88,  when  I  spake  to  the  clergy,  and  in  the  first  week  of  Decem- 
ber following,  when  I  preach  d  in  the  Abby  att  Durham,  (as  ill 
as  things  did  portend)  I  little  dreamt  that  my  Soveraign  or 
selfe  should  be  put  under  an  unavoidable  necessity  to  fly  into 
another  kingdom,  or  that  I  shoidd  be  obliged  to  make  use  of 
such  means  and  methods  to  evidence  my  sincerity  in  my  reli- 
gion (the  first  thing  I  shou'd  strive  to  evince  to  all  those  to 
whose  spiritual!  assistance  I  administer)  otherwise  more  regard 
wou*d  have  been  had  to  the  penning  and  composure.  But  since 
I  am  reduced  to  such  hard  circumstances  (whereto  in  conformity 
to  my  own  doctrine  I  heartily  submitt)  and  that  the  ensueing 
discourses,  how  slight  soever  and  little  worth  in  themselves,  are 
abundantly  sufficient  to  demonstrate  that  both  my  religion  and 
loyalty  are  not  of  the  new  cutt,  but  of  the  old  royall  st^p,  and 
carry  with  them,  I  trust,  the  true  touch  of  the  tower,  Providence 
invites  me  to  expose  them  to  publick  view ;  being  ambitious  of 
nothing  in  the  world  more  than  to  approve  my  selie  (in  this  day 
of  rebwe)  to  my  Soveraign  and  his  right  lo^al  subjects  for  one 
who  thinks  that  he  is  obliged  to  be  as  faithAiU  to  a  Roman 
Catholick  as  a  protestant  Prince,  and  as  true  to  him  in  adversity 
as  prosperity. 

Ajb  for  any  censures  of  vanity  ariseing  from  my  title  page,  as 
if  I  did  there  sett  forth  my  selfe  a  pattern  of  humility  and 
lojralty,  they  ought  not  to  sway  with  me  soe  farr  as  to  stopp  me 
in  my  endeavours  to  be  soe,  or  to  perswade  others  to  become 
such,  since  thereto  heaven  att  this  time  loudly  summons  all  the 
nation. 

This  I  can  truely  say,  without  pride  or  boasting,  that  I  have 
laboor'd  to  practice  what  I  preach'd  to  others,  and  that  I  was 
never  more  than  at  this  very  instant  aspireing  towards  those 
excellent  (but  rare)  vertues  mentioned  m  the  following  dis- 
courses, which  I  commend  to  God^s  blessing  and  the  candid 
reader's  charity ;  desirein^  all  persons  in  England  who  have 
laboured,  either  by  kind  mvitations  or  threats  of  deprivation, 
to  prevaile  with  me  to  return  and  submit  to  the  new  Govern- 
ment, to  receive  this  my  final  answer, — to  wit :  If  I  be  deprived, 
I  am  deprived,  or,  to  approach  a  little  nearer  to  the  phrase  of

CHRISTIAN  RESIGNATION  AND  RESOLUTION : 

WITH  SOME  LOYAL  REFLECTIONS 

ON   THE 

DUTCH  INVASION. 

PEBACHBD    IN   THE   CATUEDmALL   CHURCH    OF   DURHAM,   ON   THE    1    WEDNESDAY 

IN    ADVENT,   AND   THE   SUNDAY    FOLLOWING,    BEING   THE   5   AND   9   OF 

DECEMBER    1688. 


By  DENIS  GRANVILLE,  D.D. 

DEAN    AND   ARCHDEACON   OF    DURHAM    (NOW    IN    EXILE) 
CHAPLAIN   IN   ORDINARY   TO   HIS    MAJESTY. 


TWO  SERMONS 

CONOBBNINO 

'christian  resolution 

akd  humble  submission  to  the  will  of  god  in  times  of 

distress:  on  the  holy  patriabch  Jacob's  farewell 

words  to  his  sons  att  parting. 


If  I  he  bereaved  of  my  children^  I  am  bereaped. 
Gen.  ch.  xliii.  v.  14. 

For  the  better  understanding  of  the  story  it  will  be  requisite 
to  read  the  precedent  words  from  the  11th  verse  to  the  text. 
V.  11 :  If  it  must  he  soe  now,  do  this,  take  of  the  best  fruits  of  the 
land  in  your  vessels,  and  carry  dawn  the  man  a  present,  a  little 
balme,  and  a  little  honey,  spices  and  myrrhe,  nutts  and  almonds : 
T.  12.  And  take  double  many  in  your  hands  :  and  the  mony  which 
was  brought  again  in  the  mouth  of  your  sacks,  carry  it  again  in 
your  hand;  peradventure  it  was  an  oversight :  v.  13.  Take  alsoe 
your  brother,  and  arise,  goe  againe  unto  the  man :  that  he  may 
send  away  your  other  brother  and  Ber^famin. 

If  I  be  bereaved  of  my  children,  I  am  bereaved. 

The  approaching  holy  feast  of  Christ's  Nativity  or  comeing 
in  the  flesa,  doth  every  year  require  a  solemne  preparatory  time 
of  devotion.  And  that  it  may  not  want  such  due  respect,  the 
Church  takes  care  in  its  preceedinff  exercises.  Every  Sunday 
service  in  Advent  hath  an  eye  to  that  pious  end  and  purpose. 
In  porsoanoe  whereof,  we  Iiave  revived  in  this  CathedraU  an 
aatient  religioos  custome.    Two  days  of  every  week  throughout

with  greif,  and  the  end  of  joy  is  mourning.  Whikt  he  is  yet 
confi^tuhiting  their  good  success  in  their  journey,  the  sad  news 
of  Simeon's  imprisonment  silenceth  his  mirth  ;  which  grief  too 
is  attended  on  by  a  greater,  the  necessity  of  his  dear  Benjamin's 
^oeing  into  Egypt.  Crosses  in  God's  children,  just  like  billowes 
m  the  sea,  follow  one  on  the  neck  of  another. 

The  good  father  is  not  less  troubled  with  this  newes  than  at 
the  sight  of  Joseph's  bloody  coat ;  and  cruell  famine  pressing 
yiolently  upon  him  wee  may  conceive  him  to  take  up  his  son 
Reuben  8  note,  in  the  xxxviith  ch.  of  this  book,  and  at  the  30th 
v..  The  child  is  not ;  and  whither  sJiall  I  goe  ?  What  shall  I  do, 
miserable  man  that  I  am !  My  dearest  Rachell  is  dead,  my  be- 
loved Joseph  is  not«  Simeon  is  not,  and  can  I  leave  Benjamin 
alfloeP  I  remember  my  sons  what  news  you  brought  me  of 
Joaeph,  and  shou'd  you  doe  the  like  of  Benjamin  too,  you  wou'd 
bring  down  my  gray  hairs  with  sorrow  to  the  grave.  And  yet, 
wo  is  me,  I  must  send  him  or  perish :  noe  redemption  of  Simeon, 
noe  food,  without  Benjamin's  going  into  Egypt,  and  without 
food  noe  life.  I  had  better  venture  one  than  draw  distruction 
upon  my  whole  house.  Thus  even,  my  sons,  seeing  it  must  be 
8oe»  on  God  will  I  rely  for  your  safetyes.  His  providence  be 
your  guide.  Benjamin  shall  goe  with  you.  However,  Gods 
providraiee  must  not  stop  your  diligence,  nor  His  care  for  you 
prevent  yours  for  yourselves.  But  use  all  possible  means  to 
excuse  yourselves  and  content  the  ruler :  v.  11,  //  it  must  he  soe 
mncy  doe  this  :  take  of  the  best  fruits  of  the  land  in  your  tessells, 
and  carry  doume  the  man  a  present  8fc,  v.  14.  Arui  God  Almighty 
gitt  you  mercy  before  the  many  that  lie  may  send  away  your  other 
brother f  and  Benjamin,  If  I  he  bereaved  of  my  children y  I  am 
bereaved.  I  need  not  stand  long  on  the  words :  the  story  is  well 
knowne,  and  it  gives  you  some  light  into  the  sense  and  occasion 
of  them.  The  difference  between  interpreters  is  more  in  words 
than  substance. 

Arias  Montanus,  nearest  to  the  original,  doth  translate  them 
Et  ego  quamodo  orbatus  sum,  orhatus  sum,  '£7(0  jxlv  yap  naOairip 
nrimv^fiaiy  iiriKvwfjuu,  saith  the  Septuagint.  Near. this  St.  Am- 
hfoae  and  others :  "  Ego  autem  quusi  orbatus  absque  liberis  ero,^* 

JuniuBy  also  our  late  English  translation,  to  the  same  sense, 
bnt  more  fully  render  it :  Quum  orbatus  fuero,  orbatus  fuero. 
If  I  be  bereaved  of  my  children  I  am  bereaved,  A  speech  much 
Uke  to  that  resolute  speech  of  queen  Hester,  (Hest.  iv.  16.) 
Q$utm  perierOy  periero.  If  I  perish,  I  perish.  St.  Chrysostom, 
in  his  64th  Homily  on  Genesis,  makes  Joseph's  absence  the 
cause  of  this  speech ;  as  if  Jacob  had  accounted  he  had  lost  in  a 
maouer  all  his  children  when  he  lost  him.    Another  will  lhave'\

SERMONS,  &C.  15 

row,  endure  for  a  night,  Vet  joy,  says  the  Psalmist,  shall  come 
in  the  morning.  Wnen  Israel  laments  for  the  absence  of  all 
his  sons  he  is  comforted  with  the  recovery  of  them  and  Joseph. 
That  I  may  the  more  effectually  perswade  you  to  such  pious 
resolutions  and  faithfull  submissions  to  the  will  of  God,  con- 
sider,— 

1.  The  necessity  of  them :  wee  must  submit  ourselves  to  the 
will  of  God,  according  to  the  example  of  Jacob,  whensoever  we 
are,  as  hee  was,  afflicted  or  tempted. 

2.  The  quality  or  nature  of  them :  how  we  must  submit  our- 
selves. 

3.  The  benefit  redounding  from  them :  why  wee  ought  to  doe 
it.  Which  last  head  (the  two  first  affording  matter  enough  for 
one  discourse)  I  shall  resefVe  for  another  sermon. 

Of  these  perticulars  by  God's  assistance  (which  I  begg  at  this 
instant  in  an  extraordinary  manner)  I  intend  to  treat  at  this 
time. 

1.  I  shall  shew  the  necessity  of  them,  and  here  I  must  take 
my  rise  from  Nature. 

Soe  carefull  is  Nature  in  provideing  for  her  owne  safety,  that 
every  shaddow  of  danger  affrights  her ;  and,  too  jealous  of  ad- 
versity, oftentimes  becomes  most  dangerous  to  her  selfe :  like 
the  partridge  in  the  nett  entangles  her  selfe  the  more  by  her 
own  flattering.  Man  is  never  more  plunged  into  the  troubled 
sea  of  calamity  than  when  in  his  own  strength  he  most  struggles 
to  gett  out  of  it.  It  is  in  vain  for  him  to  fight  against  nature, 
her  de|;enerated  weaknesses  begett  our  greatest  miseryes :  and 
they,  naveing  soe  near  a  relation  to  her,  she  cannot  putt  them 
otL  Man  may  discover,  not  expell  them,  but  (which  is  the 
cheifest  misery)  the  nearer  he  pryes  into  them,  the  worse :  soe 
doeing  he  makes  a  new  wound  by  too  deep  a  search  into  the 
old.  Just  as  if  he  digg'd  in  some  putrid  grave,  or  went  into 
some  darksome  cell,  the  dteper  he  diggs,  the  more  noisome  the 
stench,  and  the  farther  he  goes  the  greater  the  horrour.  In 
which  perplexity  he  is  made  such  a  slave  to  his  passion  that  he 
is  imfitt  for  any  employment,  unsettled  in  his  thoughts,  incon- 
stant in  his  actions,  his  whole  course  of  life  (like  a  skene  of 
mfSed  silk)  inextricably  intangled  in  the  world.  Either  the 
kiss  of  wealth  or  care  of  getting  it  trouble  him. 

He  hath  noe  sooner  secured  himselfe  a^inst  a  forreigne  enemy 
fafot  a  domestick  setts  upon  him.  Ambition  of  riseing,  or  fear  of 
fidlinff,  the  loss  of  one  friend,  or  danger  of  another,  still  gnaw 
upon  mm ;  you  shall  sooner  find  him  not  a  man  than  not  some 
way  or  other  distracted. 

This  oontinuall  involving  of  all  things  and  winding  of  men's

aary  tryalls  of  his  power.  We  may  not  trust  to  his  promises, 
except  wee  obey  his  commands,  nor  rely  on  his  power  onely, 
when  he  affords  us  means  to  use  our  owne. 

The  Tery  heathens  were  not  so  senseless  in  their  destiny. 
Some  things,  says  Seneca,  were  so  determined  of  the  gods  that 
the  prayers  of  the  people  shoidd  conduce  to  their  events,  and 
this  very  thing,  he  adds,  is  not  contrary,  but  according,  to  fate ; 
and  God's  Providence,  as  it  hath  absolutely  decreed  all  things 
to  their  proper  end,  so  hath  it  ordained  means  to  those  ends,  to 
use  which  is  not  against  providence  but  of  it :  as  he  that  is 
ordained  lx>  be  a  scholar,  is,  by  the  same  omnipotent  power, 
ordained  to  bestow  his  time  in  learning ;  and  he  that  shall  avoid 
dangers  shall  use  means  to  pacify  God's  wrath  by  the  same 
decree.     These  are  Seneca's  instances  in  his  book  De/ato, 

Learn  of  him,  whoever  thinks  it  an  easy  way  to  heaven  by 
mere  hanging  on  God's  decree.  Neglect  of  ordinary  means  is  a 
signe  of  the  want  of  grace.  While  we  stand  gazing  on  the 
Starrs,  lett  us  beware  lest  our  feet  slipp  into  the  water  under  us, 
and  whilst  wee  are  diving  to  the  bottom  of  the  rock  for  the 
more  rich  pearls,  lest  we  lose  both  our  selves  and  them.  Let 
US  not  dispute  downwards  from  God's  election,  but  upwards 
from  our  own  sanctification,  draw  our  arguments  ci  posteriori, 
fitnu  the  effect  to  the  cause ;  not  say  presumptuously,  I  am 
elected,  and  therefor  I  must  be  saved,  but  with  modesty  rather 
begin  at  home,  saying,  I  feel  the  operation  of  God's  Holy  Spirit 
inclining  me  to  seek  the  ordinary  means  of  salvation,  through 
Jesus  Christ,  and  therefor  I  trust  I  am  elected,  and,  by  neces- 
sary consequence,  conclude  thou  mayest  be  saved.  To  avoid 
this  dangerous  shelfe  in  the  business  of  our  salvation,  we  have 
need  of  a  two  fold  pilot  to  direct  our  course :  Faith  and  FhAR, 
which,  well  tempered  together,  declare  the  quality  or  nature  of 
a  Christian  resolution,  how  wee  ought  to  rely  on  God's  provi- 
dence :  the  second  thhag  I  am  to  shew  you,  to  wit,  that  Chris- 
tian resolutions  are  mixt  with  fear  and  faith.  But  can  these 
•land  together,  fear  and  faith?— it  will  be  very  naturall  to 
question.  Fear  perturbs  us  through  the  apprehension  of  future 
evill,  saith  the  philosopher,  and,  can  any  evill  happen  to  those 
who  are  in  Christ  Jesus,  demands  the  divine,  as  wee  are  by 
fidth  P  (Bom.  xii.  15.)  A  plain  contradiction  it  may  seem,  to 
fear  eviU,  and  beleive  noe  [.^  none]  shall  happen  to  us.  Fear 
not,  saith  your  Lord  himselfe,  (Luke  xii.  32.)  emd  shall  we  cross 
his  precept  by  trembling  P  Cant  your  care  on  hiniy  for  he  careth 
for  you,  (1  Pet.  v.  7.)  and  can  we  think  his  care  insufficient  P 
Why  should  wee  fear  P 

There  is  a  conmoientator  which  easily  cutts  this  knott :  necnon

SERMONS,  &C.  19 

within  thee,  fear  God's  displeasure,  who,  for  some  cause  or 
other,  suffers  thee  thus  to  fall.  But  most  of  all  must  thou  fear 
when  God's  grace  is  revived  within  thee,  for  the  relapse  is 
worse  than  the  former  disease.  Therefor  thy  fear  must  in- 
crease with  thy  danger,  lest,  being  made  clean,  thou  sin  againe, 
and  a  worse  thing  happen  unto  thee.  In  adversity,  let  us 
humbly  acknowledge  ^dtn  Job,  the  punishment  of  God  is  fear- 
full  :  in  prosperity,  with  David,  there  is  mercy  with  [^?>w]  that 
he  may  be  feared.  In  all  estates  let  his  essentiall  presence  beget 
an  awfnll  fear  and  reverence  in  all  our  actions,  since  there  is 
nothing  more-  fearful!  in  the  saints  and  servants  of  God  than 
not  to  fear.    (Jer.  xxxii.  40.) 

However,  scruple  not  hence  (yee  sincere  tho'  imperfect  Chris- 
tians, over  subject  sometimes  to  despondency)  the  certainty  of 
our  salvation.  An  holy  fear  doth  not  make  us  more  scrupulous 
but  more  certain,  saith  St.  Bernard,  in  his  15th  Sermon  upon 
the  Psalms,  for  this  fear  (as  hope)  is  the  fruit  of  an  holy  faith  ; 
and  St.  Paid  joyns  it  witn  faith,  (Kom.  xi.  20.)  as  an  antidote 
to  a  high  mind.  Thou  standest  by  faith,  be  not  high  minded 
but  fear :  and  indeed  [tY]  is  the  ground  of  our  assurance  of  sal- 
vation, which  we  cannot  nave  but  by  faith.  I  say  by  faith,  not 
as  if  it  were  not  certaine,  but  to  exclude  that  certainty  of  evi- 
dence and  sense  which  requires  an  absolute  assent,  both  in 
respect  of  the  truth  of  the  thmg,  and  of  our  knowledge,  because 
it  18  soe,  and  because  we  can  demonstrate  it  to  be  soe.  And 
when  we  say  4  is  more  than  2,  the  whole  is  greater  than  part, 
perfect  knowledge  of  sence  and  experience  absolutely  conclude 
it  most  certain.  The  certainty  of  our  salvation  is  a  faithfull 
cleaving  unto  Christ  Jesus.  Tho'  this  in  it  selfe  be  more  abso- 
lute than  that  of  sence,  as  faith  is  more  certain  than  any  science, 
yet  man's  mind  not  throughly  purged  from  the  foggy  mists  of 
originall  pollution  cannot  clearly  determine. 

Christ  indeed  hath  broken  down  the  partition  wall  between 
Qod  and  his  people,  yet  hath  he  sett  the  register  of  his  elect 
beyond  the  ken  of  any  mortall.  Neither  can  we  assure  our- 
selves anjr  otherwise  of  our  salvation,  than  by  trusting  in  him, 
by  applying  particularly,  what  he  (that  cannot  lye)  hath  spoken 
in  generall ;  Whomever  believeth  in  nie  shall  he  saved,  and  this  is 
in  noe  man  so  perfect  but  that  the  best  may  pray  still,  adjura 
me  Damine,  Lord  help  my  unbelief.  He  that  doth  not  thus  fear 
hath  noe  faith,  and  then,  noe  certainty. 

As  the  Spirit  of  God  witnesseth  wee  are  the  sons,  soe  fear 
testifyeth  wee  have  the  spirit.  Noe  man  more  surely  relyes  on 
his  Saviour  than  he  that  most  fears  to  offend  him,  soe  is  it  no 
paradox  at  the  same  time  to  tremble  and  rojoyce  in  the  liord.

SERMONS,  &C.  21 

Hce  care  what  ye  shall- eat y  shall  wee  therefore  expect  another 
white  sheet  from  heaven  P  Or  shall  wee,  with  the  sluggard  in 
the  fable,  lye  on  the  ground  and  expect  the  falling  of  the  figgs 
with  open  mouth  P  which  is  not  to  serve  God,  but  to  tempt  him. 
Such  idleness  becomes  none  worse  than  a  soldier  of  Christ's 
band*  The  watchman  must  watch,  tho'  it  be  God  that  pre- 
serveth  the  citty;  his  vineyard  must  be  husbanded  emd  his 
garden  drest ;  Paul  must  plant  and  Appollos  water,  before  God 
give  the  increase.  God  cou'd  have  healed  Hezekiah  without  a 
bunch  of  figRs,  our  Saviour  no  doubt  cou'd  have  spoken  the 
word  to  the  Dlind  man,  and  he  shou'd  have  received  his  sight, 
but,  that  his  actions  might  be  our  examples,  he  uses  means  for 
the  cure  ;  he  anointed  his  eyes  with  clay,  bad  him  wash  in  the 
pool  of  Siloam  before  he  cou'd  see ;  and,  in  the  xxviith  of  the 
Acts  of  the  Appostles,  he  gives  St.  Paul  all  the  souls  in  the 
shipp.  His  promise  cou'd  not  faile,  yet  their  own  sedulity  was 
required  to  their  safety ;  by  swiming  and  using  broken  pieces 
(you  will  find  by  the  story)  they  all  came  safe  to  land.  For 
how  certain  soever  things  are  in  respect  of  him  who  knoweth 
the  end  of  all  thin^,  as  well  of  those  which  shall  bee,  as  those 
[ir^ticA]  are  or  have  been,  they  are  not  soe  in  respecf  of  our 
knowledge :  (as  you  have  heard)  wherefor,  wee  must  not  idly 
cast  our  selves  upon  his  providence,  but  humbly  submit  our 
selves  unto  it,  alwayes  shewing  our  devotion  in  prayers  against 
an  evilly  tho'  wee  cannot  our  power  in  over  comeing  it. 

Discreet  diligence  must  accompany  our  affection.  Faith  must 
be  our  anchor,  and  we  must  row  with  fear ;  even  with  fear  and 
trembling,  in  the  least  matter  of  our  salvation :  not  like  those 
[jichose]  faith  dares  speak  as  boldly  to  their  Maker  as  their 
neighbour,  and  hear  his  embassage  with  less  reverence,  nay 
imk  like  familiarity,  as  the  message  from  an  acquaintance; 
searching  into  the  very  secrets  of  God,  and  presumeing  to  learn 
what  God  hath  revised  to  teach.  A  generation  whidi  may  be 
known  by  their  boldness,  who  take  Christ's  office  upon  them- 
aelvesy  and  will  weed  out  those  tares  which  he  said  should  grow 
with  the  wheat  till  the  harvest :  and,  like  true  Pharisees,  they 
aeptrate  themselves  from  the  congregation  of  their  brethren, 
thinking  themselves  more  holy  than  they ;  and  more  skilfull  in 
God's  counsells  than  if  they  were  imediately  inspired  from  on 
high,  interpreting  God's  deepest  mysteries  without  an^'O  (iaOog, 
at  first  sight ;  yea,  and  that  more  sanctifyedly  too,  than  with  a 
moneth's  preparation. 

Daniel,  (I  doubt  not)  as  wise  a  man  and  as  holy  as  any 
of  these  men,  ecclesiastick  or  layick ;  will  not  presume  to  inter- 
pret soe  much  as  a  dream  without  respite  and  consideration.

SERMONS,  &C.  23 


ir°  SERMON. 

HiTHBHTO  you  heard  the  necessity  and  maner  of  submitting  to 
the  will  of  God.  I  shall  now  enter  on  the  third  part  of  my 
text  and  shew  you  the  benefitts  redounding  from  such  submis- 
sions. 

This  casts  me  unavoidably  upon  a  common-place,  and  one  of 
the  most  common  of  places,  even  that  of  adversity  or  affliction 
as  often  preached  as  felt.  However  there  will  be  noe  cause  to 
pass  it  over,  since  I  am  naturally  led  thereto  by  the  time,  as 
well  as  my  text.  A  time  of  judgement,  of  warr,  and  of  danger, 
threatening  our  poor  Church  and  Kingdom  with  a  heavy  mea- 
sure of  affliction  and  large  portion  of  this  bitter  cupp,  which  I 
fear  is  like  to  be  felt  or  tasted  (unless  a  speedy  return  in  duty 
to  God  and  the  King  prevent)  by  our  selves  and  posterity. 
While  temporall  crosses  remain,  (which  dye  only  with  man) 
wee  must  preach  their  necessity  and  benefitt,  the  one  as  abso- 
lute, the  other  to  the  godly  certain. 

To  doe  good  and  siiffer  wrong,  after  Christs  blessed  example, 
is  an  especiall  part  of  Christian  life  and  duty.  Your  diligence 
hath  been  required  for  the  first,  the  last  requires  your  humility, 
upon  the  same  grounds  of  faith  and  fear :  whereto  if  you  do  add 
(sinoe  heaven  frowns  upon  this  land)  a  profound  humiliation, 
you  will  doe  no  more  than  God  expects  att  your  hands. 

Not  to  fear  affliction  becomes  a  rigid  sceptic,  or  senseless 
stoick,  not  an  affectionate  Jacob,  or  tender  hearted  Joseph.  On 
the  other  side,  to  be  utterly  cast  down  in  the  bed  of  sorrow  fitts 
not  an  Abraham,  but  a  Cain.  Both  good  and  just  is  God,  saith 
holy  David,  good  and  gracious  to  teach  patient  sinners  in  the 
way ;  but  just  alsoe  to  punish  those  which  run  on  still  in  their 
iniquity. 

Happy  jihen  are  those  troubled  spirits  (let  me  mind  them) 
where  this  constellation  appears,  where  Fear  acknowledgeth 
God  a  just  judge,  and  Faith  bclieveth  him  a  loving  father. 

Adversity,  indeed,  is  the  discipline  of  God's  house,  under 
which  he  brings  upp  his  children ;  through  fear  of  which  he 
bridleth  their  inordinate  affections,  and,  by  disenabling  and 
mortifying  them,  works  an  unwillingness  to  offepd.  For  ex- 
ample,—

SERMONS,  &C.  25 

And  this,  (before  wee  proceed)  may  alsoe  aflford  a  profitable 
lesson  for  this  world's  darling.  Hath  any  ascended  this  hill  of 
happyness  P  Let  him  not  cast  his  scomfidl  eye  on  his  brother 
in  tne  vale,  but  look  rather  towards  Jeshimon,  the  wilderness 
over  against  him,  pitty  them  which  are  in  it,  and  praise  God 
for  his  better  mansion.  Let  him  not  forget  that  the  hill  whereon 
he  stands  is  Pisgah,  which  St.  Jerome  interprets  dolatus,  smooth, 
as  if  it  were  plained ;  very  slippery,  with  an  easy  descent,  from 
which  the  lest  slipp  may  cast  him  downe  thither  whence  with  a 
great  labour  he  got  upp :  making  him  feel  by  experience  that  a 
relapse  is  a  double  fall.     But  this  by  the  way. 

Wee  may  take  one  type  more  of  the  saints'  afflictions  from 
the  Israelites.  There  was  never  any  hony  (observes  the  father) 
in  their  sacrafices,  neither  were  the  lights,  which  burnt  in  their 
tabernacles,  of  wax,  which  is  sweet,  but  of  oyle,  sharp  and 
bitter:  as  if  they  ought  [jnot~\  to  enjoy  the  lest  emblem  or 
shaddow  of  pleasure.  But  however,  it  was  with  them,  certainly 
as  it  is  with  us  Christians,  that  our  joy  and  felicity  is  not  here 
below,  but  in  those  things  which  are  above,  where  Christ  sitts 
on  the  right  hand  of  God,  whereon  wee  ought  to  sett  our  aflfec- 
tions ;  and  which  are  the  only  object  pf  a  right  mortify ed  and 
iaithfull  Christian's  search.  Our  light,  as  well  as  life,  is  in 
heaven  ;  where  our  conversation  alsoe  ought  to  bee,  and  where 
wee  shall  by  the  assistance  of  the  Almighty,  and  a  truely  sanc- 
tifyed  use  of  God's  visitations,  (which  are  a  Christian's  best 
directions)  in  the  conclusion  arrive,  to  our  everlasting  comfort, 
if  wee  are  not  wanting  to  our  selves.  Christ  Jesus,  the  Sove- 
raigne  of  men  and  angells,  and  captain  of  our  salvation,  if  wee 
readily  and  heartily  follow  him,  and  trust  in  him,  will  bring  us 
(and  it  is  only  hee  that  can  bring  us)  through  fire  and  water 
into  a  wealthy  place.  Hee  is  our  Moses  to  lead  us  (for  wee  can- 
not goe  without  him)  from  Bamoth  to  Pisgah,  through  many 
tribmations,  through  all  the  difficultyes  of  our  lives  and  call- 
ings, into  the  kingdom  of  heaven  and  port  of  our  salvation. 
And  this  is  the  end  of  God's  visitations.  The  fire  of  ad- 
versity is  designed  to  refine  us,  to  purge  away  our  dross,  and 
to  fitt  us  for  those  pure  mansions  whereinto  no  unclean  thing 
can  enter. 

Who  will  not  then  cry  out  with  David  (Ps.  cxix.  71.)  in  his 
sufferings,  ii  is  good  for  me  that  I  have  been  afflicted.  It  is  as 
necessary  a  duty  to  praise  God  after  afiliction,  as  to  pray  to  him 
in  it,  though  wee  may  not  pray  for  it ;  tribulations  in  them- 
selves being  evill,  and  the  efi'ect  of  disobedience.  Had  not  man 
grown  rebellious  God  had  not  visited,  but  because  of  the  wick- 
of  his  doeing,  Gtxi  sends  upon  him  cursing,  vexation  and

SERMONS,  &C.  27 

to  their  feet.  There  is  a  hand  behind  which  the  child  sees  not 
that  holds  him  up.  Our  Heavenly  Father  indeed  plunges  us 
(if  I  may  soe  speak)  here  in  the  depth  of  sorrow,  that  we  may 
dive  into  the  depth  of  our  own  hearts,  and  to  make  us  more 
sensible  punishes  by  decrees :  (as  he  did  Jacob)  first  with  the 
loss  of  Rachell,  then  of  Joseph,  afterwards  with  famine,  and  fear 
of  Benjamin ;  even  as  Joseph  dealt  with  his  brethren,  but  as 
Joseph  alsoe,  tho'  he  began  m  wrath  he  ends  in  peace. 

Mercy  foUowes  judgment,  and  nothing  but  impenitency  doth 
moke  a  separation.  If  Ood  at  any  time  be  long  in  punishing, 
it  is  to  teach  his  people  more  sensibly  the  guilt  of  their  sinn  ; 
that  soe,  by  the  better  knowledge  of  their  guilt,  they  may  be 
driven  the  sooner  to  repentance,  the  seat  of  mercy.  Both  wnich 
methods  of  Almighty  God's  dealing  with  his  servants  have 
been  often  experienced  by  the  people  of  this  land. 

Rough  hewn  timber  and  unpolished  stones  are  unfitt  for  any 
princely  building,  therefor  God  sawes  us  (as  it  were)  in  pieces 
oy  adversity,  smooths  our  inordinate  affections  and  hews  down 
oar  rebellious  lusts>  before  wee  can  become  a  meet  temple  of  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

God  well  knowes  we  have  lost  that  image  and  superscription 
which  he  stampt  us  in,  and  therefor  melts  us  anew,  as  the  pro- 
phet speaks  (Jer.  ix.  7),  and  purify es  us  in  the  fire  of  afiliction, 
that  wee  may  be  made  fitt  materialls  in  that  day  in  which  he 
maketh  up  his  Jewells.     (Mai.  iii.  17.) 

In  a  Chnstian  life  then,  as  in  the  almond  tree,  we  must 
expect  a  hard  shell,  tho'  there  be  a  sweet  kemell.  Hardness, 
all  know  by  experience,  thus  many  times  contains  sweetness, 
and  sundry  other  usefidl  qualityes,  as  comfortable  health  follows 
hfter  an  impleasant  potion. 

Let  us  approve  ourselves  therefor  the  servants  of  God,  in 
much  patience;  as  dying ,  hut  behold,  we  live;  as  chastened,  hut 
not  killed;  as  sorrowfully  yet  alwayes  rejoyceing.  (2  Cor.  vi.  9,  10.) 
Our  sorrow  is  but  qtiasi  tristitia,  transitory,  (it  seems)  as  there 
noted  by  the  Appostle,  a  dream  or  shaddow  of  sorrow.  But  the 
joy  of  a  true  Christian  is  otherwise  ;  there  is  certum  gaudium,  it 
IS  not  said,  ««  joy  full,  but,  alway  rejoyceing. 

Hath  then  God  taken  away  our  worldly  wealth  from  any  of 
us  ?  It  is  (wee  may  conclude)  because  it  shou'd  deprive  us  of 
etemall  happyness.  Hath  God  bereaved  any  of  us  of  our  chil- 
dren or  friends  P  It  is  because  we  shou'd  put  more  trust  in 
him.  Hath  he  brought  any  of  us  to  dishonour  here?  It  is 
because  we  may  be  more  fitt  for  glory  hereafter. 

Extemall  benefitts  (none  can  deny)  are  God's  blessings.  But 
soe  is  the  want  of  them  alsoe.     All  things  work  together  for

SERMONS,  &C.  29 

That  it  is  our  duty  faithfully  and  chearfolly  to  submit  unto 
Gods  will  all  times  of  adversity  with  faith  and  fear,  and  that  all 
truly  Christian  submissions,  will  in  the  end  be  highly  advan- 
tagious,  hath  been  the  subject  of  my  two  last  discourses  in  this 
pmpit. 


Application. 

If  the  dayes  of  adversity  and  affliction,  brethren,  be  such  a 
hopefull  seeds  time,  wee  in  our  present  circumstances  are  like, 
if  we  sow  in  pious  tears,  to  have  a  plentifidl  crop. 

Many  a  heavy  judgment  are  already  fain  upon  us  for  our 
past  sins  against  God;  and  in  a  more  particidar  maner  (we 
have  too  just  reason  to  suspect)  for  our  secure  and  carnal  confi- 
dence ;  oiir  trusting  in  the  arm  of  flesh,  as  well  as  our  unpar- 
donable disobedience  to,  and  vile  contempt  of  God's  vice-gerent, 
the  King,  and  ^that']  many  greater,  for  our  stupid  impenitency, 
will  fall,  we  have  alsoe  to  just  cause  to  fear. 

God  hath  moved  the  land  and  divided  it,  and  if  his  Almighty 
and  most  mercifull  hand  doth  not  prevent,  it  must  shake  nay 
totter  into  ruin  and  destruction. 

Hie  sword  is  drawn  in  the  midst  of  the  nation :  God  grant  it 
may  not  be  too  soon  sheathed  in  one  anothers  bowells,  nor  whet 
by  the  present  cessation. 

Insomuch  that  what  party  soever  gains  the  victorv,  both 
must  certainly,  some  way  or  other,  in  the  conclusion  be  con- 
siderable loosers. 

It  is  a  sad  thing  that  subjects  to  the  same  Prince  shou'd, 
in  words,  many  times  profess  and  pretend  the  same  thing ; 
and  yet  all  the  while  fight  against  one  another  to  destruc- 
tion. 

One  party,  among  other  matters,  declares  for  the  protestant 
religion  in  generall,  another  for  the  Church  of  England  as  by 
law  estaUist. 

They  cannot  be  other,  with  honest  meaning,  than  the  very 
same  cause,  for  the  Church  of  England  is  undoubtedly  a  pro- 
testant church,  and  the  best  protestant  religion  (notwithstand- 
ing an  aspersions)  is  profess'd  in  that  Church ;  and  yet,  in  all 
probability,  here  is  in  the  nation  a  quarrell  begun,  (God  forgive 
the  authors)  which  is  not  like  to  be  determined  without  the 
shedding  of  much  Christian  blood. 

Or  else,  againe,  one  partv  declares  [/or]  the  King  alsoe  (as 
the  Lords  att  York)  as  well  as  the  protestant  religion,  together 
with  the  libertyes  and  propertyes  of  the  subject.     Another  for

her  printed  Sermons  or  Homilies,  published  by  Royall  autho- 
rity. 

Kebellion,  then,  you  must  know,  is  there  esteem'd  by  the 
Church  of  England,  wherever  it  is  found,  either  among  papists 
or  protestants,  (either  on  the  6th  of  November,  or  on  the  30th 
January)  the  worst  as  it  was  the  first  of  sins. 

In  the  first  of  her  Homilies  against  Rebellion  it  is  stiled  the 
root  of  all  vices,  and  the  mother  of  all  mischiefs,  and  in  the 
second  part,  the  worst  of  all  vices,  and  greatest  of  all  mischiefs, 
at  the  breaking  in  whereof  all  sins  and  miseries  did  flow  in  and 
overwhelm  the  world ;  the  author  of  that  cursed  sin  of  disobedi- 
ence (which  brings  in  all  other  at  its  heels)  being  noe  other  than 
Lncifer  himselfe,  who  of  the  brightest  and  most  glorious  angell, 
for  this  very  sin  of  disobedience  and  rebellion  against  his  King, 
became  the  blackest  and  foulest  fiend,  and  from  the  height  of 
heaven  fell  into  the  bottom  of  hell,  as  our  Church  expresses  it 
in  the  aforesaid  Homily. 

Rebellion  in  another  place,  speedily  after,  is  stiled  the  foulest 
of  all  sinns,  being  as  it  were  the  source  and  originall  of  all 
other,  and  inseparable  from  the  highest  pride  and  contempt  of 
Qod.  "  He  that  nameth  rebellion,"  saith  our  Church,  **  nameth 
not  a  single  or  one  only  sin,  as  is  theft,  murder,  robbery,  or 
such  like,  but "  (to  speak  in  the  old  language  of  our  Homily) 
**  the  whole  puddle  and  sink  of  all  sins,  against  God  and  man ; 
against  his  Prince,  his  country,  his  country-men,  his  parents, 
his  children,  his  lansfolks,  his  friends  and  against  all  men  uni- 
versally. All  sins  "  (saith  the  very  same  Homily)  "  nameth  hee 
that  nameth  rebellion,  every  commandment  being  violated 
thereby.'*  p.  360*. 

Tea,  that  all  the  seven  deadly  sins  are  contained  in  rebel- 
lion, you  will  find  asserted  in  the  same  page,  all  sins,  by  all 
names  that  sins  may  be  named  and  by  qU  means  that  sins 
may  be  comitted,  do  wholly  and  upon  heaps  follow  rebellion. 

p.  361t. 

Pestilence,  famine,  and  war,  declared  in  Scripture  to  be  the 
greatest  of  worldly  plagues  and  miseryes ;  yea,  all  the  miseryes 
which  these  plagues  have  in  them,  doe  altogether  follow  rebel- 
lion.    The  fore  quoted  page  J. 

Of  all  warrs  (wee  are  there  minded)  civill  warr  is  the 
worst,  but  rebellion  far  more  abominable  than  any  civill  warr.

SERMONS,  &C.  33 

the  King  himselfoy  or  any  of  his  officers,  but  laves  before  the 
rebell's  eye  God's  remarkable  judgments  on  Coran,  Dathan  and 
Abiram,  and  on  others,  for  provoaking  God  in  the  like  kind ; 
and  less  provocations  than  most  of  us  have  been  guilty  of,  tho' 
through  the  mercy  of  God  and  a  gracious  King,  we  have 
hitherto  escap'd  unpunished. 

The  forementioned  Corah,  Dathan,  and  Abiram,  were  swal- 
lowed upp  alive  for  but  grudging  against  God's  magistrates, 
others  were  utterly  consumed  by  a  sudden  fire  sent  from  God 
for  their  wicked  murmuring.  Others  were  stricken  suddenly 
with  a  foul  leprosy,  for  but  froward  behaviour ;  not  to  mention 
some  stun^  to  death  with  strange  fiery  serpents,  and  14,700  at 
one  time  kdled  with  the  plague,  whereof  you  are  minded  at  the 
conclusion  of  the  same  Homily,  as  you  are  in  other  places  of 
Scripture  of  24,000  and  70,000  alsoe  slaine,  by  the  same  judg- 
ment of  God,  for  the  very  same  sin ;  that  very  sin  of  rebellion, 
that  truely  diabolick  sin,  which  many  present  pretenders  to  loy- 
alty, nourish  in  their  bosoms,  who  have  invited  the  sword  into 
the  land,  and  thereby  conjured  upp  a  divill  which  God  knows 
when  they  will  be  able  to  conjure  down  againe. 

I  shall  say  noe  more  to  rectify  your  notions  concerning  loy- 
alty and  rebellion,  than  that  our  mother  the  Church  of  England, 
(now  sadly  wounded  by  her  owne  children)  who  is  exceeding 
averse  to  this  hellish  crime,  doth  in  these  her  orthodox  and 
pious  composures  (the  standard  of  our  sermons  and  divinity) 
condemn  it  as  disloyall  and  rebellious,  not  only  to  depose,  de- 
stroy, or  oppose  the  King,  but  to  put  him  in  fear,  to  terrify  or 
disturb  his  sacred  person  or  mind,  valuable  (as  the  Scripture 
tells  us)  above  ten  thousand  of  his  subjects. 

And  how  any  of  those  who  either  joyne  with  his  enemyes,  or 
sitt  still  when  their  Soveraigne  needs  their  assistance,  or  soe 
much  as  mutter  against  him,  can  purge  them  selves  from  this 
last  mentioned  gmlt,  (if  the  contrivers  and  managers  of  the  in- 
vasion have  furnished  them  with  distinctions  to  clear  themselves 
of  the  former)  I  shall  never  be  able  to  comprehend  or  imderstand. 

Having  now,  by  God's  assistance,  shewn  you  the  necessity  of 
Christian  submission,  resolution,  and  resignation  to  the  will  of 
God,  and  the  manner  how  wee  are  to  exercise  those  necessary 
and  usefull  graces,  and  alsoe  made  some  seasonable  reflections  on 
Qod's  judgments,  at  this  time  hanging  over  our  heads,  which 
doe  loudly  call  for  practice  of  the  aforesaid  dutyes ;  (without 
which  it  is  impossible  for  us  to  be  soe  truly  penitent  as  to  ap- 
pease God's  wrath)  laying  alsoe  before  you  the  heinous  guilt 
and  odiousness  of  the  sin  of  rebellion,  and  according  to  the  doc-

SERMONS,  &C.  35 

Why  rebellion,  seditiou,  or  rude  treatment  of  Majesty,  should 
now  portend  better  in  *88  than  it  did  48  years  agoe,  I  cannot 
discover,  and  that  rebells  and  traitors,  fled  into  the  Low  Coun- 
tryes,  shou'd  be  pnrifyed  by  the  air  and  conversation  in  Holland, 
I  can  as  litle  conceive ;  no  more  can  I  conceit  how  the  inticeing 
and  insnaring  away  of  the  King's  subjects  (as  at  present)  to 
fight  against  their  uege  lord  and  Soveraign  (nay  to  deliver  him 
up  into  the  hands  of  his  enemyes)  shou'd  be  a  specimen  and  in- 
ffulible  mark  of  kindness  to  the  Church  of  England-protestant 
religion,  which  will  not  permit,  upon  any  pretences  whatsoever, 
to  take  up  arms  against  a  lawfull  King,  nor  assist,  aid,  or  abett, 
those  who  doe,  noe  not  so  much  as  to  wish  ill  to  the  Lord's 
anointed  in  the  very  bottom  of  our  hearts. 

For  the  love  of  God,  brethren,  let  us  leave  those  fond 
imaraiations,  discourses,  and  practices,  which  have  set  the 
whole  land  into  a  combustion ;  let  us  be  ashamed  of  those  un- 
reasonable delusions  and  methods  of  delivery  which  bring  those 
very  fears  (or  worse  evills)  on  us  which  wee  endeavour  to  avoid. 
Such  infatuation  is  a  sad  prognostication.  Quos  perdei^e  vult 
Jupiter y  ho8  dementat. 

Wee  have  in  this  jimcture,  I  confesse,  just  ground  of  fear  and 
jealousy.  I  who  have  hitherto  opposed  fears  and  jealousies,  do 
now  advise  the  preaching  on  those  topicks,  to  wit,  that  they 
who  dare  unjusUy  to  invade  us,  intend  if  they  can  (pretend 
what  they  please)  to  conquer  us,  and,  in  plain  terms,  in  the  con- 
clusion to  enslave  us. 

I  dare  not  in  such  a  time  of  difficulty  but  declare  clearly  my 
mind  and  conscience.  If  the  trumpet  now  shou'd  give  an  un- 
certain sound,  it  might  be  of  lamentable  consequence. 

I  never  did  yet,  (I  thank  God)  nor,  if  \^?  Ilive^']  will,  play  my 
game  soe  as  if  I  intended  only  to  save  my  stake. 

It  is  your  infelicity,  dear  and  belovea  brethren,  at  this  pre- 
sent to  have  noe  person  in  circumstances  superiour  to  me  (in 
the  country)  to  give  you  right  measures :  which,  when  I  have 
honestly  and  faimfully  done,  as  I  have  endeavoured  this  day, 
(if  you  will  not  take  them)  the  guilt  must  lye  at  your  own 
doors. 

I  never  yet  was,  nor  ever  shall  be,  I  trust,  ashamed  in  the 
pulpit  to  own  my  duty  to  my  Soveraigne,  and  if  I  shou'd  be 
silent  now,  when  there  is  more  need  than  ever  for  preachers 
fidthfully  to  open  their  mouths,  to  prevent  the  seducing  of  well 
meaning  people,  I  should  conclude  my  selfe  accessary  to  rebel- 
lion.

IK  THB  YXAB  OP  OUB  LOBD  GOD  H.D.O.LXXXIX. 


TO  THE  READER. 

The  same  necessity  which  drove  me  from  my  home  at  the  very 
time  which  my  Sovereign  was  forced  to  withdraw  from  his  own 
pallace,  compells  me  to  send  these,  as  well  as  my  other  papers, 
to  the  press,  to  shew  the  maner  how  I  parted  with  my  friends 
and  flock  in  the  Bishoprick  of  Durham,  and  that  the  last  dis- 
charge of  my  Archidiaconall  office,  in  a  time  of  trouble,  was 
suitable  to  my  past  life  and  actings  dureing  more  than  twenty 
years  in  a  time  of  peace. 

How  imperfect  and  insufficient  soever  both  have  been,  I 
never  wanted,  thro'  God's  grace,  resolution  all  along  to  oppose 
the  subjects'  incroaching  on  the  prerogative  of  their  Kinff,  as 
heartily  as  I  have  withstood  the  Dutch  their  invading  of  the 
land.  It  will  be  noe  great  ground  of  admiration  to  all  who 
truly  know  me,  that,  at  such  a  juncture,  J  did  dare  speak  plain 
English  to  fortify  my  brethren  against  temptations,  and  encou- 
rage them,  as  I  nave  done^  in  their  duty  to  God  and  the  King ; 
and  I  bless  God's  most  holy  Name  that  he  hath  been  pleased  to 
bestow  on  me,  for  the  supply  of  my  manifold  defects,  always 
Christian  confidence  in  the  pulpit,  who  have  not  enjoyed  much 
of  it  any  where  else. 

By  what  God  gave  me  boldness  at  that  time  to  speak  in  the 
ears  of  a  large  and  publick  auditory  of  clergy  and  laity,  (not 
rashly,  but  with  the  most  mature  consideration  that  I  utter'd 
any  thing  in  my  whole  life)  they  mi^ht  perceive  I  did  not 
intend  to  stay  at  Durham,  if  my  sovereign  should  be  banished 
from  his  kingdom ;  as  by  committing  the  qame  discourse  to  the 
jvess,  after  more  serious  fhoughts  and  greater  deliberation,  all 
men  will  be  easily  convinced  that,  till  my  sovereign  be  restored, 
(which  I  doe  heartily  pray  for)  I  have  noe  thoughts  to  re- 
tume. 

Though  I  found  it  very  easy  and  intelligible  how  to  behave 
my  self  under  a  Roman  Catholic  prince,  in  the  discharge  of  all 
datves  incumbent  on  me  as  a  right  Church  of  England  subject 
or  Christian,  yet  must  acknowledge  I  am  void  of  logick  and 
other  learning  to  supply  me  with  distinctions  and  furniture 
necessary  to  live  under  an  usurper.

FAREWELL   VISITATION-SPEECH.  41 

That  the  greatest  part  of  my  brethren,  notwithstanding  the 
faithfall  and  frequent  endeavours  I  have  us'd  to  establish  them 
in  oonfonnity  and  loyalty,  shou'd  forsake  God's  vice-gerent  to 
doe  homage  to  the  people's,  is  an  unexpressible  grief  to.  my 
soul. 

To  prevent  the  incurring  such  guilt,  and  the  lamentable 
aeandal  of  such  apostacy,  I  did  in  due  time  (as  may  appear 
from  the  date  of  the  ensueing  address)  expose  my  selfe  to  much 
sensore  by  delivering  my  mind  to  an  auditory  which  seem'd 
read^  to  run  themselves  (as  they  have  done)  into  that  yoke  and 
aemtude,  which  I  (who  had  greater  temptations  than  others) 
was  resolved  to  run  out  of  the  kingdom,  and  from  my  prefer- 
ment, rather  than  submitt  to. 

And  to  demonstrate  that  I  am  (after  great  thoughtfuUness 
and  much  prayer  to  God  to  direct  me)  of  the  very  same  mind 
here  in  France,  Nov.  15,  1689,  that  I  was  in  England,  on  the 
same  day  of  the  month  1688,  as  well  as  desireous  to  express  my 
willingness  to  doe  all  that  in  me  lyes  to  awaken  those  out  of 
their  sin  which  I  could  not  confirm  in  their  duty,  I  am  as  will- 
ing to  commit  to  the  press  the  discourse  I  then  made,  tho'  I  well 
know  that  I  shall  in  soe  doeing,  in  case  these  papers  get  into 
England,  (and  considering  men's  present  genius  and  actings 
there)  be  exposed  to  the  danger  of  running,  as  it  were,  the 
gaontlet  through  the  nation.

gotten  into,  or  fixt  themselves  in  the  saddle.  See  desireable  an

a  speech  made  by  the  archdeacon  to  the  clergy  of  the 
archdeaconry  of  durham  in  the  church  of  st.  mary- 
le-bow  on  the  15  nov.  1688,  with  a  repetition  of 
some  chief  matters  contained  in  former  speeches  since 
his  present  majestyes  accession  to  the  crown. 

Reverend  and  worthy  Brethren, 

It  is  a  custom  in  the  University  of  Oxford  once  in  the  year 
in  the  University  Church  to  have  a  Repetition-sermon.  This,  as 
well  as  other  her  customes,  I  make  no  doubt,  is  supported  with 
substantiall  reason.  An  auditory  of  scholars  and  learned  men, 
doctors  and  divines,  have  not,  as  she  supposes,  alwayes  such 
faithftiU  memoryes  but  that  they  need  a  monitor. 

It  is  noe  affront  therefor,  brethren,  to  think  that  the  gravest 
clergy,  at  the  most  solemn  Visitation  may  be  men  of  like  in- 
finnityes. 

Were  I  not  then  convinced  by  the  language  of  your  actions 
(whereby  you  speak  as  plainly  as  by  your  tongues)  that  you 
have  either  forgotten  many  things  of  moment  said  to  you,  or 
have  done  much  worse,  that  is,  in  plain  terms,  undervalued  and 
rejected  them,  I  your  unworthy  Archdeacon  might  have  cause, 
once  in  my  life,  to  imitate  this  laudable  University  pattern,  in 
makeing  you  a  Repetition-speech  ;  which,  tho'  long,  will  goe 
down  with  you  the  better  at  a  time  when,  as  at  present,  you 
have  noe  Visitation-sermon. 

And  here  it  will  not  be  amisse  to  remind  you  that  Repetition 
task  there,  in  the  Church  of  Oxford,  is  the  most  difficult  employ- 
ment of  the  whole  year.  So  that  you  will  have  small  reason  to 
imagine  that  I  doe  betake  my  selfe  to  the  like  course  soe  much 
ibr  mine  owne  ease  as  your  edification,  and  as  I  shall  imitate

FAREWELL   VISITATION-SPEECH.  46 

(God  forgive  our  unreasonable  complaints)  we  might  have  been 
(if  we  were  not)  one  of  the  happyest  nations  in  the  world. 

The  next  thing  which  I  oflfered  to  your  consideration  was  the 
gracious  goodness  of  the  present  king,  in  not  only  continuing, 
but  protecting  our  religion  :  whereby  he  did,  in  an  unexpected 
blessed  manner,  defeat  the  bitter  calumnyes  of  his  malicious 
enemyes,  who,  for  seven  years  before,  had  most  seditiously  ham- 
mer'd  into  the  spirits  of  the  vulgar  most  dismall  and  dreadfull 
apprehensions  of  a  popish  successor ;  hee  thereby  proving  all 
those  (God  be  thanked)  false  prophets,  who  had  insinuated  into 
the  peoples  minds,  (to  the  scaring  them  almost  out  of  their 
senses)  that,  as  soon  as  the  Duke  of  York  came  to  the  crowne, 
wee  should  have  mass  said  in  all  the  cathedralls  in  England,  to 
which  act  of  mercy  in  the  king  it  was  but  an  unsuitable  and  un- 
seasonable retume  (I  cou'd  not  omit  the  notice)  to  grudge  his 
majesty  and  those  of  his  perswasion  the  exercise  of  their  own 
religion,  with  impunity  from  the  severity  of  the  laws,  whilst  God 
kept  us  under  the  government  of  a  pnnce  of  the  Roman  com- 
munion. Witness  the  untimely  heat  of  some  turbulent  spirits 
in  the  House  of  Commons,  which  assembled  on  the  19  of  May 
after  his  coming  to  the  crowne,  who  flung  a  bone  among  that 
august  assembly  which  was  like  to  have  broken  all  their  teeth, 
foriously  pressing  on  the  then  present  and  imediate  revivall  of 
the  penall  laws,  without  any  exception  of  the  Roman  Catholicks, 
who  had  imdenyable  pretences,  considering  their  loyalty  and 
services  in  the  Great  Rebellion,  to  some  respite  dureing  the 
reign  of  a  prince  of  their  own  religion.  But  the  major  part  of 
that  loyall  Parlia:ment  wisely  fore  saw  whereto  such  a  preposter- 
ous proceeding  did  tend,  and,  like  faithfull  patriots,  did  readily 
oppose,  and  soon  quench  the  flame  of  that  ill-tim'd  zeale,  re- 
solving without  any  more  adoe  (would  God  none  had  ever 
chang'd  their  minds)  firmly  to  rely  on  the  word  of  their  gra- 
cious Prince  for  the  security  of  their  religion  and  lawes  ;  duti- 
fully expressing  their  just  indignation  against  those  rash,  as 
well  as  norrid  rebells,  who  did  at  that  time  insolently  make  a 
desperate  attempt  to  overthrow  our  ancient  monarchy :  the  Par- 
liament passing  a  Bill  of  Attainder  in  the  first  place  against  the 
arch-rebell  and  head  of  that  republican  crew  who  were  wafted 
hither  from  the  Low-Countryes,  and  then  afterwardes  assisting 
llieir  Sovereign  with  their  purses  and  persons  to  the  utmost  of 
their  power,  till,  (by  the  blessing  of  God)  he  had  wholly  sup- 
prest  a  dreadfull  rebellion,  which,  however  small  it  might  be  m 
the  begining,  might  have  prov'd  fatal  to  the  whole  Church  as 
well  as  Kingdom. 

On  which  wicked  and  bloody  designe  we  may  now  make  the

impadently  invaded  us)  seem  a  little  more  angry  than  those 
trajrtors  which  landed  at  Lime  with  the  God  of  heaven,  for  post- 
poneing  their  State-holder's  pretences  to  the  Crowne  bv  the 
blessed  birth  of  a  hopefull  prince,  (whom  God  preserve.)  To 
whom  the  barbarous  Dutch,  (and  some  more  barbarous  among 
our  selves)  have  been  more  bloody  than  cniell  Herod  in  killing 
the  children,  by  endeavouring  to  prove  him  illegitimate,  and 
disinheritting  him,  (which  Providence,  and  the  King's  wisdome 
and  care,  seems  to  have  put  out  of  dispute)  thereby  destroying 
the  hopes  and  felicity  of  three  kingdomes,  in  depriveing  them  of 
see  on  valuable  a  blessing  as  an  heir  male  to  succeed  and  support 
the  monarchy.  But  to  retume :  the  remarkable  justice  and 
vengeance  of  God  in  cutting  of  with  great  speed  those  traytors 
last  spoken  of,  which  they  had  foster'd  in  their  bosome,  and 
assisted  with  vessells  and  armes  to  land,  and  begin  a  rebellion 
in  England  and  Scotland,  together  with  the  many  signall  pro- 
vidences of  heaven  in  frustrating  all  their  wicked  designes, 
bringing  to  nought  all  their  mischeivous  attempts,  and  makeing 
that  rebellion  intended  for  the  mine  of  Church  and  State  a 
means  (as  rightly  improved  it  might  have  been)  the  longer  to 
uphold  both ;  should  convince  (I  say)  the  most  stupid  Dutch 
understanding  of  the  heavy  displeasure  of  God  against  such 
hatefnll  hypocrysy  as  the  colouring  over  secular,  unjust,  nay 
treasonable  machmations,  with  the  profession  of  piety.  One  of 
the  mottos  which  they  att  present  bear  in  some  of  their  flaggs, 
(as  reported)  Pro  libertate  et  religione,  for  the  preservation  of 
liberty  and  religion.  That  our  neighbours  the  Dutch,  of  all 
others,  are  become  thus  zealous  and  devout,  and  concerned  for 
the  libertyes  and  religion  of  England,  (as  they  would  have  us 
imagine)  is  somewhat  imintelligible.  Btbit  Flander  editque  beni, 
hath  been  by  wise  men  heretofore  assigned  for  the  Flemins' 
character,  and  I  never  since  heard  of  his  reformation.  Such 
saviours  of  our  Church  (God  bless  her)  wou'd  be  as  bad  as  the 
late  saviours  of  our  Nation.  If  heaven  were  incensed  against 
US  in  soch  a  degree  as  to  putt  us  imder  a  necessity  of  such 
miserable  comforters  and  Mends  to  support  us,  it  wou'd  be  hard 
to  know  which  to  choose,  a  saviour  from*  Amsterdam  or  Sala- 
manca. All  I  shall  further  say,  before  I  proceed  to  the  next 
particular,  is.  that  as  I  doe  with  all  my  soul,  thank  and  bless 
heaven  for  saving  the  nation  from  one  of  these  saviours,  soe 
I  pray  with  most  fervent  zeal  (in  conjunction  with  all  truly 
loyall  subjects)  that  we  may  in  due  time  be  saved  from  the 
ouer,  trusting  in  God,  nay  resting  well  assured,  that  we  shall 
have  a  gracious  retume  of  our  prayers  if  our  sins  prevent  not.

able  practices  that  two  proscribed  ministers  (fitter  to  be  smiths 
than  diTines)  have  there  hammer'd  out  a  second  more  divellish 
conspiracy.  Such  goodness  of  God  to  our  Royall  family,  not 
leaveing  it  destitute  of  a  prince  of  the  right  line,  but  settling 
upon  the  throne  soe  accomplished  an  one,  in  all  respects, 
that,  if  hee  had  been  of  our  own  religion,  wee  should  have 
thought  our  selves  loaded  with  more  happyness  than  wee  had 
been  able  to  bear.  This  mercy,  I  say,  in  raising  a  gracious 
prince  (tho*  of  a  different  faith)  to  be  the  defender  of  ours  in 
crushing  a  rebellion,  like  a  cockatrise  in  the  shell,  which  aimed 
more  att  the  destruction  of  the  Church  than  the  Crowne,  is  soe 
unparellelled  a  blessing  as  deserves  everlasting  praise,  and  an 
etemall  obligation  to  conforme  our  lives  to  the  will  and  com- 
mands of  our  earthly,  as  well  as  heavenly.  King.  Which  wee 
cannot  doe,  (give  me  leave  on  such  occasions  alwayes  to  be  your 
monitor)  till  we  approve  our  selves  trulv  genuine  obedient  sons 
of  the  Church,  as  well  as  dutyfuU  complving  subjects,  (I  know 
noe  difference  in  these  two  epithets  of  obedient  and  complying, 
tho'  the  last  hath  been  tum'd  into  a  reproach)  in  all  things 
which  are  not  contrary  to  the  clear  Word  of  God.  But  I  will 
for  a  while  stopp  such  enlargements,  as  well  as  sett  a  period  to 
my  promised  repetition  of  the  most  important Tieads  of  the  first 
of  my  four  Visitation  Discourses  propounded  to  be  brought  to 
your  view ;  which  I  have  enlarged  bv  unavoidable  digressions, 
occasion'd  by  the  present  wick^  and  treacherous  invasion.  I

refmaining  ones,  without  such  additionary  reflections,  and  bring

thoaglit  of)  was,  whether  that  subtle  and  malicious  spirit  (who 
oitea  transforms  him  selfe  into  an  angell  of  light,  effecting  his 
worst  designes  imder  the  disguise  of  holyness)  doth  not  use 
pretended  zeale  against,  as  well  as  fears  and  jealousyes  of, 
popery,  as  the  most  likely  and  successfuU  stratagem  to  bring  it 
m.  1  was  then  and  am  still  of  that  opinion,  and  for  God's  ^e 
doe  not  despise  the  honest  caution. 

Speech  the  3rd. 

Thus  haveing  dispatcht  the  things  most  worthy  of  notice  con- 
tained in  my  second  Discourse,  as  well  as  the  first,  I  shall 
attempt  to  bring  to  your  view  the  most  significant  heads  of  the 
third. 

And  here,  waveing  sundry  arguements  then  laid  before  you 
to  submit  to  your  Soveraign's  will  and  pleasure,  even  in  the 
most  unintelligible  of  all  his  acts  of  mercy,  I  mean  that  in- 
cluding the  fanaticks  in  his  Declaration  for  Hberty  of  conscience, 
excess  of  favour  and  liberty  granted  to  his  owne,  as  well  as  our 
Churches  enemies,  as  allsoe  passing  over  the  characters  of  a 
right  loyall  and  unalterably  obedient  subject  to  the  King,  and 
of  a  true  right  bred  son  of  our  Church,  together  with  that  nian 
of  indifference,  that  pretends  to  be  both,  and  yet  is  neither, 
which  I  did  then  very  largely  sett  before  you ;  as  well  as  the 
motives  to  become  the  two  first,  that  is,  good  subjects  and 
good  Christians  ; — ^waving,  I  say,  these  and  some  other  matters, 
mat  time  will  not  permitt  me  to  reflect  on,  I  shall  onely  exer- 
cise your  ears  att  present  with  heareing  four  cautions  or  direc- 
tionB,  which  I  recomended  to  my  auditory  in  the  conclusion  of 
that  charge  to  the  clergy,  to  wit : — 

First,  that  just  reasonable  and  moderate  groimd  of  fear, 
which  every  wise  man  ought  to  have  in  our  circimastances, 
might  drive  us  more  close  home  to  the  throne  of  grace  and 
God's  altar,  and  make  us  all  acquaint  our  selves,  better  than 
ever  heretofore,  with  our  hearts  and  consciences,  takeing  such 
care  of  the  internal  exercise  of  grace  and  vertue  in  the  soul, 
(wherein  cheifly  is  the  Kingdom  of  God)  and  liveing  in  such 
obedience  both  to  God  and  the  King,  as  become  the  best  Chris- 
tians and  subjects,  lest  that  our  mercifuU  God  and  gracious 
Prince  (on  whose  grace  and  favour  our  felicity  did  then  greatly 
depend)  should  for  our  past  or  future  provocations  be  incensed, 
and  deprive  us  of  the  liberty  wee  enjoyed  in  the  exercise  of  our 
establist  religion. 

The  second  was,  to  take  care  of  the  young  generation,  and 
never  to  suffer  any  youth  to  depart  from  the  parrishes  or  fami*

name  of  God,  as  long  as  I  have  the  honour  to  be  your  Arch- 
deacon) things  which  really  portend  much  worse  than  most 
ground  usuafly  assigned  in  this  suspitious  age  for  fears  and 
jealoosyes. 

The  first  was.  a  preposterous  zeal  against  our  adversaryes, 
aoccmipanyed  too  often  with  a  spirit  of  contradiction. 

And  which  distills  more  aversion  into  us,  and  disgust  against 
our  adversarves  person,  than  principles  inclineing  us  to  oppose 
and  confute  nim,  right  or  wrong,  concluding  all  to  be  evill  in 
our  antagonists,  (tho'  oftentimes  very  commendable)  and  fondly 
over-weening  all  to  be  good,  (tho'  sometimes  very  unchristian) 
in  our  selves  and  others  of  our  perswasion.  A  malady  which 
hath  been  long  the  disease  of  our  nation.  Our  poor  Church, 
ever  since  the  puritan  faction  began,  labouring  under  the  same 
in  such  degree,  that  a  spirit  of  contradiction  hath  been  com- 
monly made  the  cheif  standard  and  measure  of  many  men's 
religion  and  devotion,  and  the  distance  they  kept  from  the 
waves  and  sentiments  of  their  opposers,  look'd  on  as  an  in- 
fidliUe  mark  of  the  vertue  of  their  own  persons,  and  truth 
of  their  profession.  Which  opinion  and  judgment  of  matters, 
(tho'  never  soe  popular)  are  very  false  weights  and  measures. 
By  reason,  at  this  rate,  the  worst  men  must  alwayes  be  the 
greatest  saints,  since  in  them  dwells  most  hatred  and  animosity, 
and  bitter  aversion  to  all  that  is  not  their  owne.  Horrid  vices 
are  usually  the  parents  of  this  spirit,  which  I  sett  before  you, 
and  desire  you  may  all  loath. 

Tho  second  thing  I  cautioned  you  against  was,  men's  de- 
clining in  loyalty  and  love  to  their  Prince  on  accoimt  of  his 
religion,  which  doth  not  in  any  manner  dissolve  or  abate  the 
bonds  of  duty  and  respect  in  the  subject.  But,  on  the  contrary, 
favoun  receiVd  from  such  a  prince,  (such  as  wee  have  received 
as  I  shewed  then  more  largely)  oblige  subjects  to  some  more 
officioos  respects  than  are  to  be  paid  to  a  kind  prince  of  our 
owne  perswasion. 

The  third  thing  whereof  I  told  you  wee  ought  to  beware,  was 
ingratitude  to  Ood  and  the  King  for  those  speciall  mercyes  and 
acts  of  grace  which  wee  receive  from  one  and  the  other,  even 
dureing  our  murmuiings  and  complaints.  Ingratitude  to  the 
King  1  then  told  you  was  inseparable  from  [in]  gratitude  to 
God ;  a  good  and  gracious  prince  being  a  choice  gift  of  heaven, 
tad  one  of  the  greatest  blessings  which  a  nation  can  enjoy,  and 
lie  that  will  not,  from  the  bottom  of  his  heart,  retume  his 
thanks  and  praise  for  soe  inestimable  a  Jewell,  is  a  monster  of 
onthonkfullness  to  the  common  Govemour  of  the  Universe,  the 
greatest  of  benefactors.

FAREWELL  VISITATION-SPEECH.  55 

And  if  all  persons  had  been  as  forward  as  my  poor  unworthy 
8elfe  to  give  credit  to  and  rely  on  the  word  of  our  Prince  (which 
I  have  not  yet  doubted)  the  nation  had  been,  it  is  manifest,  in 
a  better  state  of  preparation.  Tho',  God  be  praised,  his  Majes- 
ties Yiffilance  hath  been  such,  that,  (if  the  officers  continue 
fSuthfiill)  the  kingdom  is  in  noe  bad  posture  to  receive  and 
requite  the  malice  of  our  enemyes,  tryumphing  at  last  as  glori- 
ously over  those  inveterate  foes  as  he  did,  three  years  agoe,  over 
the  last  rebellious  villains  which  landed  in  the  same  country. 

Thirty  thousand  well  disciplin'd  and  loyall  subjects,  imder 
the  banner  of  soe  valiant  a  prince  as  ours,  are  able,  imdoubtedly, 
by  the  blessing  of  God,  (despair  not)  to  encounter  any  prince  in 
the  world,  attended  on  with  14000  rebells,  by  which  appellation 
I  doe  no  injustice ;  since,  in  the  case  of  rebellion  and  treason,  as 
in  that  of  murder,  all  companions  are  adjudged  to  be  accessa- 
ryee,  and  justly  are  to  imdergoe  their  tryall  as  well  as  the  prin- 
cipall  actors. 

The  goodness  of  our  owne  cause,  and  the  badness  of  our 
enemyes,  is  as  clear  as  the  sun,  and  put  beyond  all  manor 
of  doubt  or  suspition,  neither  of  which  can  be  brought  into 
question  by  any  person  but  such  an  one  as  haveing  suck'd  in 
sedition  with  his  milk  is  antimonarchicall,  (whilst  he  pretends 
to  be  antipapisticall)  in  his  nature,  and  soe  much  more  zealous 
for  the  name  of  protestant,  (the  worst  thing  in  it)  than  for  the 
religion  of  protestants,  as  to  become  a  well  wilier  to  Turks 
fifi;amst  Christendom,  wishing  success  to  infidells,  because  Cerent 
Tecli,  bearing  the  name  of  a  protestant,  (a  rebell  and  apostate 
or  as  bad)  is  one  of  their  number. 

Wee  must  not  think  soe  blasphemously  of  the  Deity,  that  the 
God  of  heaven  (a  God  of  purity  and  truth)  can  have  more 
fiivour  to  such  a  rebellious  rout  than  to  a  loyall  army,  fighting 
under  the  royall  standard  of  their  lawfuU  prince,  in  defence  of 
an  ancient  monarchy  and  most  excellent  government. 

No,  no,  wee  must  not  imagine  that  God  (who  is  of  purer  eyes 
than  to  behold  any  iniquity  with  approbation)  can  have  regard 
to  such  a  gathering  together  of  the  froward,  and  insurrection 
of  wicked  aoers,  (as  holy  David  heartily  prayes  against  in  the 
64  peahn)  tcho  hate  whet  their  tongue  like  a  mcord,  and  shout  out 
their  arrawes,  even  hitter  words,  where  David's  character  of  the 
wicked  (you  will  easily  perceive,  if  you  will  take  the  pains  to 
penue  the  whole  psalm)  exactly  agrees  with  our  invaders,  both 
the  wickedness  and  secrecy  of  their  undertakeing  haveing  been 
soch  as  he  describes.  But  as  his  character  and  complaint  in 
ihe  former  part  of  the  psalme  doth  well  agree  with  those  of  our 
enemyoB,  so  I  trust  in  God,  and  heartily  pray,  that  the  latter

FAREWELL  VISITATION-SPEECH.  57 

Enriish  with  a  more  happy  race  of  kings  than  any  nation  in  the 
world  can  boast  of,  yet  it  is  notorious  that  no  people  under  the 
sun  have  transgressed  more  egregiously  by  murmuring  and  com- 
plaintSy  or  that  hath  coppyed  out  with  more  exactness  the  im- 
thankfiiUness,  infidelity,  and  distrust  of  the  impenitent  and  hard 
hearted  Jewes,  both  in  reference  to  God  himselfe  in  heaven,  and 
their  conductors  Moses  and  Aaron  here  on  earth. 

If  Qod  in  his  wrath  had  sent  us  a  wicked  heathenish  per- 
secutor, a  Nero,  a  Caligula,  or  Dioclesian,  to  reigne  over  us,  we 
most  with  confusion  have  confessed  that  it  had  been  much  less 
than  we  deserv'd.  And  yet  we  (the  most  incorrigible  people  I 
think  under  heaven)  are  soe  squeamish  that  we  cannot  digest  a 
Christian  monarch,  gracious  and  mercifull  even  to  wonder,  a 
prince  who  hath  demonstrated  himselfe,  beyond  all  gainsaying, 
to  be  a  true  son  of  King  Charles  the  Martyr,  who  was  a  king  (I 
am  perswaded)  of  the  greatest  clemency  that  ever  was  upon  the 
fece  of  the  earth,  cannot  digest,  I  say,  a  sovereign  endowed 
with  all  those  graces  (and  a  midtitude  of  other  kingly  qualityes 
relating  to  war  and  government)  merely  because  he  is  not  of 
our  oppinion  in  point  of  religion  ;  tho'  he  gives  us  noe  other 
disturbance  in  the  exercise  of  ours  than  to  desire  liberty  for 
himselfe  and  party  to  enjoy  their  own. 

Since  we  have  thus  ungodlyly  browbeaten,  struggled  with, 
and  in  a  maner  disclaimed,  if  not  rejected,  such  a  Christian 
prince,  God  in  his  justice  threatens  to  give  us  upp  a  prey 
to  our  enemyes,  and  the  worst  masters  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth. 

Our  abhorr'd  ingratitude  to  his  royall  brother  and  [/«*//»] 
selfe  (without  putting  into  the  scales  our  other  inumerable  sins 
and  impietyes)  may  give  us  just  ground  to  fear  that  our  incens'd 
God  may  designe  to  teach  us  submission  and  subjection  by  soe 
severe  a  method  as  to  make  us  (who  have  been  yet  one  of  the 
fireest  and  most  happy  nations  of  Europe)  truckle  to  an  upstart 
comonwealth  and  an  anti-monarchicall  generation,  who,  by 
their  continuall  sheltring,  encouraging,  and  assisting  of  traytors, 
proclaime  their  enmity  to  the  very  name  of  King,  and  that  they 
would  not  leave  (if  they  ceuld  have  their  will)  one  crown'd  head 
in  Christendom. 

But  let  us  not  be  discouraged  or  despond  overmuch.  Our 
condition  (blessed  be  God)  is  far  from  desperate ;  England  can- 
not be  destroyed  unless  it  destroy  it  selfe.  If  wee  will  in  tliis 
our  day  but  forsake  our  sins,  and  stoop  first  to  the  God  of 
heaven,  and  afterwards  to  his  anointed  servant  our  indulgent 
Sovereign,  as  far  as  he  hath  for  this  last  moncth  past  con- 
descended to  the  requests  of  his  people ;  flinging  the  worst  of

right  yoiu:  people. 

1  doe  aclmowledge  my  selfe  a  very  feeble  (tho*  I  hope  honest) 
supporter  of  the  Churcn  and  Crowne  of  England.  But,  how- 
ever, I  have  not  soe  bad  an  oppinion  of  my  selfe,  God  be 
praised,  as  to  be  ashamed  (here  among  you)  either  of  my  life  or 
doctrine. 

And  to  evince  that  I  am  not,  I  have  this  day  repeated  the 
substance,  or  cheif  heads,  of  what  I  have  laid  before  you  dure- 
ing  the  last  four  years  of  my  office,  which  none  can  deny  hath 
been  a  time  of  great  temptation  and  tryall. 

I  commend  you  to  God's  blessing  and  protection. 

I'le  say  but  one  word  more  (and  God  knows  whether  it  may 
not  be  tne  last  I  may  ever  say  in  tbis  place)  and  it  shall  be 
this: — Contend  and  fight,  as  well  as   pray,  as  heartily 

AS     YOI7      please,     AGAINST      OUR      INSOLENT      NEIGHBOURS     THE 

Dutch:  but  cease  to  dispute  with  your  Prince.

ADVERTISEMENT  TO  THE  READER. 

The  reader  is  desired  to  understand,  that  when  the  Author  first 
set  pen  to  paper,  soon  after  his  landing  in  France,  in  the  moneth 
of  March  last  past,  that  he  did  not  designe  to  print  this  and  the 
ensueing  letters,  or  the  foregoeing  discourses.  His  intentions, 
at  that  time,  being  onely  in  a  few  lines  to  discharge  the  obliga- 
tions which  he  did,  in  civility  rather  than  religion,  owe  to  his 
friends  and  relations  (spirituall  and  natural)  in  England,  after 
so  sudden  a  separation  and  mighty  revolution,  by  informing 
them,  in  an  ordinary  way  of  writeing,  first,  of  what  passed  in 
refference  to  himselfe  and  Cures  Ecclesiasticall,  dureing  the  dis- 
turbances occasioned  by  the  Prince  of  Orange.  Secondly,  that 
he  did  continue  (by  God's  grace)  to  be  the  very  same  person 
that  they  discerned  him  to  be  at  parting,  and  which  he  had  ever 
professed  himselfe,  even  an  unalterable,  firm  son  of  the  Church 
of  England,  as  first  established,  as  well  as  a  right  loyal  subject 
to  his  Sovereign ;  resolved  never  to  own  any  new  sovereign,  set 
up  by  subjects,  in  the  room  of  God's  lawfull  vice-gerent. 

But  the  changeableness  of  times,  and  variety  of  publick  oc- 
currences, which  did  render  it  difficult  for  persons  in  his  cir- 
cumstances to  fix  possitivcly  in  any  determination,  caus'd  him, 
on  second  thoughts,  t^  undertake  the  enlargement  of  the  said 
letters,  for  the  satisfaction  of  his  owne  conscience  rather  than 
their  curiosity,  and  likewise  to  publish  to  the  world  the  account 
of  himselfe  and  actings,  which  he  sends  to  his  brother  and 
bishop,  together  with  the  wholsome  advise  he  gave  att  parting 
to  the  members  of  Durham  Cathedrall,  and  Clergy  of  his  Juris- 
diction ;  to  the  end  that  no  person  whatsoever  under  his  au- 
thority might  be  ignorant  of  his  behaviour  and  stedfastness  in 
a  time  of  great  apostacy,  but  be  throughly  informed  and  well 
assured  (the  better  to  keep  them  from  falling)  that  he  did,  to 
the  very  last  upshot,  practice  the  doctrine  which  he  ever 
taught ;  and  was  not  ashamed,  by  his  last  services  for  the  pub- 
lick,  at  withdrawing,  and  by  his  first  employment  of  his  pen 
after  landing,  to  proclaim  himselfe  one  of  those  indisputably 
loyall  subjects  that  could  obey  actively,  in  all  commands  not 
sinfull,  whatever  his  King  bee,  either  by  his  practice  in  point

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  65 

ing,  the  seriously  and  well  weighing  the  vote  of  the  (pretended) 
House  of  Commons  to  forbid  all  intercourse  with  France  after 
the  first  of  August ;  and,  more  especially,  the  frequent  reflection 
on  his  bodily  intirmityes  (fearing  he  might  never  be  in  the  like 
condition  of  strength  and  understanding  to  unburthen  his  con- 
science if  he  slipp^  soe  fair  an  occasion)  did  cause  him  to  make 
as  much  hast  as  he  could,  thus  to  comit  his  thoughts  thus  [^] 
to  writeing,  and  to  communicate  them  by  this  sure  method  of 
printing  his  letters,  which  were  not  compleated  till  the  end  of 
October  last.  Wherein,  if  neither  the  reader,  nor  persons  to 
whom  he  writes,  (more  than  in  the  discourses  preceding)  find 
any  excellency  of  stile,  or  matter  of  modem  policy,  or  modish 
learning,  they  may  yet  meet  with  what  the  Author  is  more 
proud  of,  and  in  this  present  age  and  juncture  very  extra- 
ordinary, as  well  as  more  valuable,  that  is  to  say,  honesty  and 
courage  enough  to  be  faithfull  to  his  King,  last  year  in  spight 
of  the  Mobile,  and  this  year  in  spight  of  the  Usurpation. 

EoMD,  Not.  27,  1689*.

LEITER   TO   THE    EARL   OF    BATH.  67 

conceive,  make  any  apology.  All  ceremonious  respects  being 
then  swallowed  upp  bv  the  great  concerns  and  transactions 
of  the  year  '88,  that  Annus  mirabilis,  which  wholly  employed 
the  head  and  hearts  of  all  men.  And  since  that  time  my  rolling 
poetore,  change  of  measures  and  resolutions,  occasioned  by  the 
uncertainty  and  change  of  affairs  and  persons  at  the  helme, 
together  with  the  cross  accidents  which  I  have  by  land  and  sea 
met  withall,  (through  which  God  hath  of  his  mercy  well  carryed 
me)  would  not  permit  me  to  salute  you  with  that  formality  as 
became  me ;  wherefore  I  have  hitherto  continued  silent.  JSut 
being  now  more  fix'd  and  easy,  and  got  where  I  have  been  aim- 
ing ever  since  I  left  my  station,  (on  the  1 1th  Dec.)  I  cannot  soe 
fiEurr  forget  my  selfe,  as  longer  to  deferr  the  presentation  of  my 
humble  duty  and  service,  and  give  you  some  account  of  my  be- 
haviour and  motions  last  winter,  together  with  my  present  state 
and  condition,  both  as  to  body  and  mind.  I  have  retained  that 
honour  and  duty  for  you  that  I  have  given  lest  \_?  less]  credit 
than  any  other  to  what  I  have  met  with  concerning  you,  either 
in  written  or  printed  newes,  (wherein  I  have  met  with  many 
things  that  have  troubled  me)  and  I  hope  you  will  be  pleased 
to  have  the  goodness  to  afford  small  regard  to  any  reports  or 
discourses  concerning  me  which  may  have  flowne  to  your  ears, 
oontraiy  to  the  tenour  of  what  I  write. 

About  the  end  of  September  last,  on  the  first  intelligence  of 
the  Dutch  invasion,  I  retired  to  my  Cures  in  the  country :  first 
to  Sedgefield,  and  then  to  Easington ;  useing  my  utmost  zeale 
and  discretion  in  my  private  discourses,  as  well  as  publick  ser- 
monBy  to  establish  my  people  (in  soe  sad  a  day  of  temptation 
when  some  starrs  of  the  first  magnitude  fell  from  heaven)  in 
the  essentiall  dutyes  of  subjection  and  allegiance  to  their  Soye- 
raign,  shewing  that  subjects  were  upon  noe  consideration  wh*at- 
aoever,  neither  of  religion,  liberty,  nor  life,  to  resist  or  desert 
their  lawfull  soveraigne,  tho'  he  were  no  better  than  such  a  one 
St.  Paul  lived  under,  when  he  writ  the  Epistle  to  the  Romans, 
not  only  a  heathen,  but  a  cruell  persecutor,  a  Nero,  a  Caligula, 
or  a  Dioclesian  :  and  that  subjects  to  a  Christian  prince,  and  to 
a  prince  soe  mercifull  and  gracious  as  ours,  by  consequence 
would  be  more  guil^,  if  they  should  rebell  against,  or  resist 
bim,  merely  because  he  professed  a  different  religion. 

Ajfter  I  had  endeavoured  thus  to  approve  my  selfe  a  faithfuU 
aheepherd  in  takeing  care  of  my  country  flocks,  I  repaired  to 
my  Deanery  att  Durham,  with  the  honest  designe  of  demon- 
strating my  fidelity  to  my  Soveraign,  and  my  mother  the 
Chorch  of  England,  being  perwaded  that  their  interest  could 
never  be  separated;  wherefor  I  summoned  my  brethren   the

LETTER  TO  THE  EAKL  OF  BATH.  69 

ing,  the  same,  I  thought  my  selfe  (the  most  publick  person  in 
the  Bishopp's  absence)  obliged  to  give  a  demonstration  of  my  own 
loyalty,  wnich  I  was  not  afiraid  to  doe,  (tho'  the  Prince  of  Orange 
was  at  that  time  advanced  as  far  as  Salibury)  and  accordingly 
on  Nov.  27  sent  to  his  Majesty  by  the  post  an  assurance 
thereof,  in  an  address  which  was  intercepted  by  the  Lord 
Danby*,  Lord  Liunlyf,  and  other  lords  at  York,  whereof  I 
desire  your  lordshipp's  permission  to  annex  a  true  coppy  to  this 


*  Sir  Thomas  Osborne,  Earl  of  Danby,  co.  York,  and  Viscount  Latimer  of  Danby, 
afterwards  Marquis  of  Caermarthen  and  Duke  of  Leeds.  One  of  the  principal  in- 
■tfwnents  in  bnng:ing  about  the  Revolution.  He  was  born  in  1032,  and  lost  his 
frtbcr  at  an  early  age.  He  came  early  into  parliament,  and  was  among  the  most 
ftrennons  of  those  who  opposed  the  earl  of  Clarendon,  and  finally  succeeded  in  over- 
dirowing  tliat  great  minister.  He  was  made  Lord  Treasurer  and  Earl  of  Danby  in 
1C7S.  In  1678  articles  of  impeachment  were  prepared  against  him,  in  which  he  was 
chaiged  with  entrenching  on  the  King's  prerogative,  and  endeavouring  to  introduce 
an  arbitrary  and  tyrannical  rule,  favouring  the  popish  party,  and  other  political 
He  was  committed  to  the  Tower  and  not  liberated  until  1684.  His  next 
in  public  life  was  at  the  trial  of  the  seven  bishops,  whose  cause  he 
He  IS  supposed  to  have  held  communication  with  the  Prince  of  Orange, 
dviog  the  reign  of  King  James,  through  his  sou,  lord  Dumblaine.  He  was  one  of 
tboK  by  whom  the  plan  of  operations  was  settled,  as  respected  the  counties  of  York, 
Derby,  and  Nottingham,  if  the  Prince  succeeded  in  making  a  descent.  The  original 
plan  was  that  the  Prince  should  land  in  the  llumber ;  but  when  the  landing  was 
rfgcted  in  another  part  of  the  kingdom,  the  Earl  of  Danby  still  acted  according  to 
tjbe  plan  which  had  been  settled,  and  seizing  upon  York,  removed  Sir  John  Reresby, 
tke  gotemor,  and  put  the  lord  Dumblaine  in  his  place.  **  Danby,"  says  Lord  Macau- 
lay,  -  acted  with  rare  dexterity."  On  the  13th  Feb.  1G88-9.  he  was  made  Lord  Pre- 
fldent  of  the  council,  and  soon  after  Lord  Lieutenant  of  the  west  riding  of  Yorkshire. 
To  the  gratitude  of  William  III.  he  owed  his  advancement  to  the  dignities  of  Marquis 
ofCacrmarthen,  and  Duke  of  Leeds.  He  died  26  July,  1712,  in  his  81st  year,  and 
vaa  buied  at  Uarthill,  co.  York.     See  Hunter's  So.  Yorkshire,  i.  143.~£d. 

t  Of  whom  Surtees  gives  the  following  account  (Hbt.  Durham,  ii.  160):  — 
**  Rkfaaid,  Viscount  Waterford,  created  an  English  peer  [by  the  title  of  Baron 
Lvmlej  of  Lomley  Castle]  in  1681,  and  Earl  of  Scarborough  in  1G90,  one  of.  the 
■ort  hoDOorable  and  nnimpeached  characters  of  hb  age.  The  Earl  of  Scarborough 
had  entered  early  into  the  army,  and  had  fought  against  Monmouth  at  Sedgmore. 
He  afterwards  forsook  the  court,  on  the  manifestation  of  James's  arbitrary  inten. 
tioDS,  appeared  openly  to  countenance  the  seven  burning  lights  of  the  Church  of 
Sogiaiid,  the  seven  Bishops,  on  their  trial,  and  ran  the  hazard  of  maintaining  a 
private  correspondence  with  Mons.  Dykevelt,  the  Prince  of  Orange's  resident.  On 
the  eve  of  the  Revolution  he  retired  into  the  North,  and  secured  Newcastle  for  the 
popalar  interest.  He  afterwards  argued  powerfully  in  support  of  the  resolution  that 
the  thnme  was  vacant,  and  voted  for  settling  the  Crown  on  the  Prince  and  Princess 
of  Orange.  His  subsequent  honours  and  employments  may  be  seen  in  any  Peerage. 
He  attended  King  William  at  the  Boyne,  at  the  Congress  of  the  Hague,  and  in  his 
seroal  campaigns  till  the  peace  of  Ryswick.  In  the  next  reign  he  was  a  commis- 
nooer  for  the  Union  ;  and  on  the  accession  of  George  I.  one  of  the  peers  entrusted 
with  the  govemment  until  the  king's  arrival.  He  was  afterwards  Vice  Treasurer, 
RceBvcr-Gencral,  and  Paymaster,  of  Ireland.  The  Earl  of  Scarborough  (who  under 
every  Whig  administration  was  Lord  Lieutenant  both  of  Durham  and  Nortbumber- 
hmi,  and  Vice-Admiial  of  both  counties)  was  the  last  of  his  family  who  bore  such 
cftoe  ia  the  North,  or  had  much  immediate  connection  with  Durham."— Ed.

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  71 

mons  I  have  printed,  to  justify  me  to  all  the  world  (if  the  pub- 
lication of  these  doe  not  do  it)  from  being  accessary  to  the 
defection  which  then  befi;an  (to  the  intolerable  vexation  of  my 
mind)  in  that  conformable  county ;  which  had,  till  the  summer 
past,  by  its  forward  obedience  and  dutifull  respects,  stuck  [so] 
close  to  the  Crowne,  that  his  late  Majesty  was  wont  to  stile  it 
his  loyall  county  of  Durham. 

Thus  was  God  pleas'd  to  assist  a  poor,  weak,  inconsiderable 
member  (exalted  beyond  his  merit  to  a  high  station)  of  the 
Church  of  Eneland,  with  fidelity  and  courage  to  maintain  his 
post,  against  the  abettors  of  that  uunaturall  invasion,  which,  it 
was  easy  to  foresee,  would  bee  (as  it  hatli  been)  attended  on  by 
an  intolerable  usurpation  of  the  Crown,  and  violation  of  the 
lawes,  and  finally,  if  God  should  not  of  his  mercy,  by  some  kind 
of  miracle,  prevent,  the  utter  mine  of  the  Church  of  England, 
and,  consequently,  of  those  who  at  first  invited  the  sword  into 
the  land,  and  betook  themselves  to  a  desperate  remedy,  a  thou- 
sand times  worse  than  the  disease  complained  of. 

And  here,  before  I  ]proceed  in  my  intended  relation  of  some 
other  passages,  I  desire  permission  to  insert  a  few  lines  to 
obviate  some  censures  which  I  expect  to  meet  with. 

To  such,  therefor,  as  shall  endeavour  to  destroy  the  reputa- 
tion of  my  sincerity  and  zeal,  in  sticking  to  the  cause  of  a 
Roman  Catholick  soveraign,  bjr  the  greatness  of  the  example  of 
those  who  have  deserted  it,  in  complpng  with  the  Prince  of 
Orange,  (alledging  that  it  is  not  likely  that  the  single  Dean  of 
Durham  should  be  in  the  right,  and  so  many  eminent  persons 
of  greater  learning,  wisdom  and  piety,  in  the  wrong,  who  have 
given  notable  testimonyes  of  their  loyalty  by  their  sufiering 
and  confessions  in  the  Great  Rebellion  of  England  dureing  the 
banishment  of  King  Charles  2)  to  such  I  declare  that  I  have 
nothing  to  say  for  my  selfe,  but  must  retume,  with  a  non  nobis 
Daminey  all  the  glory  to  God,  who  is  sometimes  pleased  to  make 
use  of  the  weak  things  of  the  world  to  confound  the  things 
which  are  mighty,  and  to  reveal  unto  babes  what  he  hides  from 
the  wise  and  prudent,  assisting,  within  times  of  persecution, 
poor  illiterate  men  and  women,  when  many  great  philosophers 
and  mighty  clerks  have  quitted  a  righteous  cause  and  shame- 
fully deserted  the  truth. 

I  do  with  all  humility  acknowledge  it  to  be  purely  the  grace 
of  Qtxl  (the  wind  of  whose  Spirit  bloweth  where  it  listcth)  which 
hath  supported  and  carryed  me  through  all  those  blasts  of 
temptation  which  have  thrown  downe  mvers  strong  pillars  of 
the  temple,  preserving  me  from  the  contagion  of  the  age,  the 
spirit  of  popularity  and  republicanisme,  whereby  Satan  (trans-

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  73 

dictions,  if  I  cannot  others,  of  a  truth  so  necessary  and  season- 
able for  the  consideration  of  subjects  in  a  rebelKous  age. 

Indeed  I  am  soe  farr  from  being  ashamed,  that  I  am  tempted 
to  a  little  kind  of  pride  to  think  I  brought  this,  and  some  other 
like  points,  to  discussion  last  summer;  the  generall  eviction 
whereof  (however  they  were  despised  or  opposed)  would  have 
stopt  multitudes  from  running  with  full  career  to  put  their 
necks  (by  the  expulsion  of  their  own  undoubted  gracious  Sove- 
raign)  under  the  yoke  of  a  forreign  power.  And  it  may  not  be 
altogether  unworthy  of  their  thoughts  who  were  so  angry  with 
them,  and  made  soe  much  noise  about  them,  whether  their 
anger  did  not  proceed  from  the  serviceableness  of  my  doctrine 
to  the  King's  interest,  which  they  were  about  to  destroy :  those 
propositions  which  I  asserted  strikeing  at  the  very  root  of 
the  contraversy  betwixt  the  King  and  subjects  of  England, 
(viz.)  whether  the  supremacy  should  be  in  the  King  or  m  the 
people.  A  galled  horse  (pardon  the  similitude)  shewes  where 
he  18  sore  by  his  unwillingness  to  be  handled,  and  the  serpent 
directs  where  a  man  should  strike  by  defending  his  head. 

But  how  OTcatly  soever  I  was  hereby  exposed  to  censure,  \_and'] 
made  the  talk  ana  scoiF  of  some  Divines  and  others  over  their 
cappe  of  coffee,  upon  the  interception  of  a  letter  to  my  ever 

honoured  friend and  other  treacherous  publication  of 

some  Queryes,  which  were  canvassed  up  and  downe  about  a 
year  ago,  under  the  name  of  the  Dean  (and  sometimes  falsely 
under  the  name  of  the  Bishopp)  of  Durham,  I  am  very  well 
pleased  ^d  greatly  comforted  that  I  had  then  soe  much  honesty 
and  courage  as  notwithstanding  great  opposition,  powerfull  ex- 
amples, and  persuasions  to  the  contrary,  to  assert  the  preroga- 
tive of  my  King,  and  to  make  an  attempt  towards  the  conviction 
of  others  committed  to  my  charge,  which  were  the  only  persons 
for  whom  those  Queryes  were  first  designed :  being  certain  pro- 
positions (of  the  verity  of  which  I  made  no  doubt)  containing 
the  reasons  of  my  forward  complyance  with  his  Majesty,  which 
I  drew  into  queryes,  for  the  private  consideration  of  some  young 
Divines  I  had  under  my  roof,  requireing  them  effectually  to 
answer  them  in  writing,  with  reasoning  which  would  bear  the 
eye,  or  to  comply,  as  I  had  done,  with  the  King. 

Which  honest  and  loyall  Queryes,  tho'  good  sense,  I  am  sure, 
when  they  were  first  stole  out  of  my  study  at  Durham,  being, 
after  passing  through  divers  hands,  I  know  not  how  disguisea, 
ami  l^  some  styled  the  nonsensicall  Queryes  of  the  Dean  of 
Duriiam,  I  shall  crave  leave  alsoe  to  publish  in  the  postscript  of 
this  letter,  giveing  you  noe  more  trouble  till  then,  about  them,

nearest  of  the  King's  garrisons,  and  the  most  considerahle  place 
(as  I  conceived)  which  then  held  out  for  the  King ;  Hull  being 
reduced  the  week  before. 

I  had  noe  sooner  got  to  Carlisle  (where  I  was  very  kindly  re- 
ceived by  Mr.  Howard,  the  Govemour,  Coll.  Purcell,  Uapt. 
Hem,  and  other  officers  there)  but  the  very  day  after,  being 
Saturday,  the  post  brought  in  the  dismall  newes  of  the  defeat 
of  some  of  his  Majestyes  troops  at  Reading,  and  others  deserting 
in  such  sort  that  he  was  forced  to  withdraw  out  of  the  kingdom, 
together  with  some  intimations  to  the  Govemour  that  it  was  to 
noe  purpose  for  him  to  hold  out  the  place,  but  that  he,  being  a 
Roman  Catholick,  it  would  be  most  prudent,  and  not  displeasing 
to  his  Majesty,  for  him  to  retire,  and  leave  the  government  to 
the  old  Govemour,  to  wit.  Sir  Christopher  Musgrave,  who  came  • 
into  this  town  on  Saturday  night,  and  entered  on  the  govern- 
ment, appearing  in  the  Govemour's  seat,  on  Sunday  the  15th, 
in  the  catnedraU. 

This  direMl  catastrophe,  which  did  both  astonish  and  afflict 
me,  to  see  our  Soveraign,  a  gracious  prince,  treated  with  so 
much  bnitalitT,  betrays  by  those  he  thought  his  best  friends, 
deserted  by  his  nearest  relations,  forbidden  his  own  palace,  and 
forced  out  of  his  kingdom,  did  imediately,  without  much  con- 
sideration, incline  me  to  leave  it  alsoe,  to  manifest  my  just  in- 
dignation against  rebellion  and  treachery,  which  had  then 
qnead  themselves  almost  over  the  whole  nation,  and  did  resolve 
aooordinffly  to  hasten  into  France,  to  share  with  my  Soveraign 
in  his  misfortunes. 

In  order  whereunto  (after  I  had  visited  the  Bishopp  of  Car- 
lisle* at  Rose  Castle,  craved  his  benediction,  and  deposited  with 
his  Lordshipp  some  solemne  assureances  of  Uvein^  and  dying  in 
the  right  Church  of  England  religion)  I  departea  from  Carusle 
on  Wensday  the  19th  towards  Scotland,  with  a  single  servant,  a 
Scotchman,  whom  I  had  newly  entertained  to  conduct  me  to 
Edinburgh,  hoping  at  Leith,  or  some  other  sea  port  on  that 
eoest,  to  procure  shipping  for  France.  But  resting  a  day  or 
two,  att  a  certain  place  cdled,  Allison  Bank  on  the  borders,  to 
ecmt&T  with  an  honest  loyall  gentleman  who  had  engaged  there 
to  meet  me,  I  fell  into  tne  bands  of  the  rabble  who  then  with 
farj  raged  up  and  down,  on  the  firein?  of  the  beacons  there- 
abouts, very  rashly  and  indiscreetly,  oy  some  credulous  and

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  77 

after  I  had  shifted  off  a  guide,  and  8ome  servants  who  were  sent 
with  letters  to  me,  to  strike  out  of  the  road  by  Berwick  towards 
Scotland :  which  I  did,  blessed  be  God,  without  any  other  con- 
siderable impediment,  and  on  the  26th  of  Jan.  last  arrived  safe 
at  Edinburgh,  endeavouring,  as  soon  as  I  could,  to  get  admit- 
tance into  ike  Castle,  and  wait  on  the  Duke  of  Gordon,  to  whom 
I  communicated  my  designe  of  going  to  the  King,  and  by  whom 
I  was  informed  of  a  vessell  then  in  the  roade,  ready  to  depart 
for  France ;  which  opportunity  I  made  use  of,  and  was,  crfter 
many  tempests,  and  a  tedious  voyage  by  reason  of  contrary 
winds,  at  last  safely  landed  att  Honfleur,  over  against  Ilaver-de- 

Ece,  by  the  mouth  of  the  river  Seine,  on  the  19th  day  of 
rch.  N.8.,  and  the  very  day  after  his  Majestyes  departure 
from  Brest  for  Ireland,  which  missing  of  the  King  was  a  great 
disappointment  and  mortification  to  mee. 

£eing  somewhat  indisposed  after  my  long  and  troublesome 
voyage  (tho'  I  was  never  sick  at  sea)  and  in  some  danger,  as  I 
thought,  of  an  ague,  I  rested  a  whole  week  in  that  place,  where 
I  found  all  persons  more  than  ordinarily  civill  to  me,  upon  their 
being  satisnred,  that  is,  my  loyalty  had  brought  me  there,  and 
that  I  was  fled  to  the  King ;  too'  I  own'd  my  selfe  not  onely  a 
protestant  and  an  ecclesiastick,  but  an  Englishman,  which  is 
now  thought  imprudent,  and  a  shame  to  confesse  ones  selfe, 
miless  he  carryes  with  him  undeniable  testimonyes  of  his  late 
fidelity  to  his  Prince.  After  I  had  paid  my  respects  to  the 
Govemour,  the  Marquess  of  Beuron,  and  returned  the  comple- 
ments I  had  received,  on  the  25th  I  departed  for  Eoiien,  where 
I  judged  meet  (since  his  Majesty  had  left  the  kingdome)  to  fix 
a  whue,  and  to  recruit  my  selfe,  being  alsoe  induced  thereto  by 
the  great  friendshipp  and  civility  of  Mr.  Thomas  Hackett,  an 
honest  and  loyall  merchant,  who  welcomed  me  to  towne  with 
great  respect  and  kindness,  supplyed  me  with  monyes,  tho'  a 
stranger  to  him  without  recommendation,  (whereas  one  to  whom 
I  was  recomended  failed  me)  and  kindly  entertained  me  at  his 
own  house  ever  since. 

And  I  have  been  the  sooner  prevailed  on  to  rest  here  in  thia 
citty  from  whence  I  write,  by  reason  a  violent  asthmatic  cough 
(which  hath  long  hung  about  me)  increases  soe  much,  that  my 
physician  beleives  that  my  lungs  begin  to  be  ulcerated,  and  that 
without  much  care  I  am  in  great  danger  of  falling  into  a  deep 
consuii^tion,  and,  moreover,  thk  physician  imder  whoso  conduct 
I  am,  Deane  of  the  College  of  Fnysicians  here,  and  Physician  to 
our  late  Eang,  (being  not  onely  a  very  eminent  Doctor  of  Physic, 
but  acquainted  with  my  constitution,  I  haveing  heretofore  lay'n 
long  sick  of  an  ague  under  his  hand,  and  he  haveing  alsoe  per-

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  HATH.  79 

they  administrihg  to  me  too  many  grounds  of  fear  (if  I  were  to 
undergoe  no  other  hazard)  that  I  may  scarce  live  to  see  my 
friends  in  England  any  more,  unlesse  the  air  of  France  and 
motion  be,  by  God's  blessing,  a  means  of  my  recovery,  and 
cnre  of  that  disease  which  I  have  contracted,  by  a  sedentary  life, 
since  my  installation  into  the  Deanery  of  Durham. 

And  here  I  doe,  in  the  first  place,  declare  with  all  sincerity, 
that  I  am  resolved  by  God's  grace  to  live  and  dye  a  true  son 
of  the  Church  of  England,  whereof  King  Charles  was.  King 
James  2  (not  the  Prince  of  Orange)  is,  imder  God,  supream 
head  and  govemour,  beleiveing  her  to  be,  for  the  purity  of  her 
doctrine,  the  decent  regxdarity  of  her  worshipp,  and  the  whole- 
someness  of  her  discipline,  (well  executed)  the  best  and  most 
approaching  to  the  primitive  times,  of  any  Church  in  reformed 
Christendom.  And  I  doe  openly  aflBrm  to  all  the  world,  that 
however  her  children  (or  rather  those  who  have  pretended  to 
be  Boe)  have  behaved  themselves,  ether  heretofore  or  of  late,  to 
the  scandal  of  the  world  and  reproach  of  her  constitution,  I  am 
assured  shee  will  be  found,  upon  through  and  serious  examina- 
tion, a  Church  which  doth  not  coimtenance  rebellion,  or  indeed 
any  sin  or  wickedness  whatsoever. 

I  have  given  noe  just  reason,  I  thank  God,  to  any,  to  think 
me  of  another  oppinion,  and  if  some  have  been  soe  imcharitable 
as  to  censure  mee  for  ever  deviating  from  her,  it  hath  been  only 
for  such  carriage  of  mine,  as  may  best  demonstrate  that  I  am  a 
right  genuine  and  through  paced  (tho'  very  feeble)  member  of 
her ;  I  mean  for  my  exact  conformity  to,  and  observation  of, 
the  excellent  rules  of  her  incomparable  Liturgy,  without  any 
variation,  and  my  constant  zeal  in  asserting  the  King's  prero- 
gative, and  her  excellent  doctrine  of  non-resistance,  and  subjec- 
tion to  authority,  in  both  which,  perchance,  I  have  been  thought 
sometimes  a  little  singular.  But  if  I  have  been  soe,  I  am  sorry 
for  it,  I  mean,  that  I  should  want  company  in  so  laudable  and 
Christian  a  cause  and  practice  ;  for  I  must  still  affirme  that  the 
first  is  the  indispensable  duty  of  every  Churchman,  and  best 
means  to  preserve  her,  and  the  last  (which  way  soever  fled  at 
the  Prince  of  Oranges  invading  England)  the  very  flower  and 
glory  of  our  Church,  which  neither  loss  of  estate  nor  life  shall 
^yy  the  assistance  of  the  Almighty)  cause  me  to  renounce. 

1  doe  therefor  humbly  entreat  your  selfe,  and  aU  my  relations, 
noe  wise  to  suspect  me,  as  if  wavering  from  my  obedience  to  my 
Mother  (the  Church)  for  my  iminoveable  adherence  to  the  cause 
and  interest  of  the  Father  of  our  Country,  and  my  innate  abhor- 
rence of  disputeing,  contesting,  or  rudely  capitulateing  with  my 
Prince,  even  then  when  he  commanded  things  very  contrary  to

LETTER   TO   THE    EARL   OF    BATH.  81 

God  be  praised,  hath  ever  been  noted)  none,  Sir,  hath  better 
ooppied  out  than  your  selfe,  whose  name  is  on  that  account 
already  recorded  in  our  English  Chronicle.  The  secrecy  and 
suooessfullness  of  that  negociation  of  yours,  in  your  master  the 
late  King's  behalfe,  with  Generall  Monk,  will  not  easily  be  for- 
gotten among  loyall  men,  and  I  must  confess  to  all  the  world, 
that  that  notable  example  and  patteme  which  you  have  sett  all 
your  house  by  your  services  and  endeavours,  in  the  worst  of 
times,  for  King  Charles  2,  hath  had  great  force  on  me,  and  been 
mighty  prevalent  in  inspireing  me  with  more  than  ordinary  re- 
solution for  his  royall  brother,  his  lawfull  successor  and  our  un- 
doubted Sovereigne,  at  my  first  entrance  on  my  Deanery,  which 
did  oblige  me  to  appear  and  act  in  a  more  publick  post  than 
before,  and  doth  still  animate  me  (wherefor,  whatever  measures 
vou  are  pleased  to  take  at  present,  I  hope,  Sir,  you  will  not 
olame  me)  in  my  present  zeal  and  endeavours. 

Since  which  time,  I  can  say  it  without  boasting,  (tho'  if  I  did 
boast  a  little,  this  conjuncture  and  my  circumstances  would  bear 
it)  that  I  have  never  strayed  in  my  affection  from  his  Majesty, 
nor  fiuled  in  paying  him  all  the  honour,  duty,  and  respect, 
whicli  I  should  have  rendered  to  my  deceased  master,  of  ever 
blessed  memory,  had  the  nation  been  longer  blessed  with  his 
reigne.  But,  instead  thereof,  I  doe  not  blush  to  let  all  the 
world  know  that  I  have  been  somewhat  more  oflScious  (and 
thought  it  every  ones  duty  soe  to  bee)  in  his  service  than  I  had 
been  in  his  brother's,  in  consideration  of  a  Roman  Catholick 
king's  grace  and  goodness  towards  us  of  the  Church  of  England, 
in  reference  to  the  free  exercise  of  our  religion ;  hee  grantmg  us 
the  liberty  of  a  religion  contrary  to  his  owne,  and  makeing  it 
his  care,  att  his  first  appearance  in  councell,  to  secure  to  his 
pt>testant  subjects  of  the  Church  of  England  so  unvaluable  a 
blessing,  neither  of  which  if  he  had  done,  could  wee  have  told 
how  to  help  our  selves,  or  been  absolved  from  our  obedience, 
which  my  little  divinity  hath  ever  told  me  (and  I  hope  ever 
will)  is  as  due  to  a  Eoman  Catholick  soveraigne  as  to  a  pro- 
testant  one.  The  consideration  whereof  hath,  by  the  blessing  of 
God,  kept  me  untainted  and  unstaitied  throughout  the  whole 
transactions  of  the  last  5  years,  I  mean  from  the  6th  of  Feb. 
'84,  when  his  Majesty  mounted  the  throne,  to  the  10th  of  Dec. 
'88,  when  the  same  sacred  Majesty  was  disgracefully  driven,  to 
the  everlasting  reproach  of  the  English  nation,  from  his  owne 
palkceofWlutehall. 

Noe  fears  or  jealousyes  of  religion,  libertyes  or  lawes,  did 
ever  tempt  me  (1  bless  God)  to  any  undue  courses  of  resistance, 
opposition,  or  soe  much  as  unseemly  capitulation  with  God's

I,KTTER   TO   THE    EAUL   OF    BATII.  83 

those  inffenious  verses,  which  bring  dayly  to  my  consideration 
my  loy&u  father's  example,  (and  which  I  cany  constantly  about 
me,  both  to  inspire  and  conduct  me)  I  hope  by  God's  grace  to 
breath  out  my  soul,  without  makeing  any  diflFerence,  in  matter 
of  obedience,  betwixt  a  papist  or  a  protestant  prince,  a  Christian 
or  a  hcjathen. 

I  am  without  any  scruple  assured  (and  so  is  all  the  world) 
that  my  sovereigne.  King  James  2,  is  a  lawfull  king,  and  hath 
an  undoubted  title,  which  is  all  a  good  subject  ought  to  enquire 
into.  If  soe,  I  am  as  much  assured  that  noe  power  uppon  earth 
can  absolve  me  from  my  swome  obedience  to  him,  whatever  we 
are  told  to  the  contrary,  in  certain  "  Enquireys  into  the  mea- 
"  sures  of  submission  to  supream  authority  and  the  grounds  upon 
"  which  itt  may  be  lawfull  or  necessary,"  (as  the  title  phraseth 
"  it)  "  for  subjects  to  defend  their  religion,  libertyes  and  lawes." 
I  wish  the  Doctor  *  had  been  pleased  to  speak  out  plainly,  ac- 
cording to  his  thoughts,  and  I  am  perswaded  he  would  have 
said,  the  srounds  whereon  it  is  lawfull  to  rebcll. 

But  I  shall  give  you  noe  more  trouble  by  way  of  information 
concerning  my  selfe.  I  shall  rather  crave  leave  to  convey  to  my 
younger  relations,  (since  they  are  numerous)  by  your  favour  and 
means,  (if  you  please)  some  wholesom  advice  for  their  edifica- 
tion, to  establish  those  who  are  not  tainted,  and  to  restore 
those  who  are,  with  the  false  notions  and  maximes  of  the 
times. 

My  elders  I  shall  noe  wise  disturb  att  present  with  my 
remaining  discourse.  But  I  humbly  conceive  it  a  kind  of  duty 
to  take  a  little  paines  sometimes  with  the  others.  My  father's 
and  mother's  dedication  of  one  of  their  sons  to  the  Church  (and 
it  falling  to  the  lott  of  me,  the  unworthyest  of  them)  doth  in 
some  sort  constitute  me  a  priest  to  the  whole  family ;  tho'  not 
to  undertake  the  charge  of  all  their  souls,  (that  would  be  a  task 
not  onely  difScult  but  impossible  for  me  to  discharge,  and  I  doe 
not  desire  it)  yet  to  make  to  them  now  and  then  some  spirituall 
applications,  as  I  doe  att  present,  by  your  permission,  in  this 
letter,  and  did  likewise  5  years  since  in  some  familiar  ones  to  a 
nephew  in  the  University  of  Oxford  f  (which  I  printed)  is  a 
good  act  of  Christian  religion  and  fratemall  charity.

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  86 

the  most  unlikely  of  any  in  the  world  to  agree,  a  popish  and  a 
presbiterian  one. 

I  never  did  imagine  that  I  oyer  was,  or  eyer  should  become, 
a  pillar  of  the  church  (tho'  you  all  know  that  I  did,  in  a  time 
of  adversity  and  rebellion,  when  there  was  small  hopes  of  being 
Dean  of  Durham,  devote  my  selfe  thereto  honestly,  with  good 
will  to  God's  service,  and  without  designe)  much  less  doe  I 
fancy  my  selfe  a  person  of  soe  much  might  or  skill  as  to  be  able 
to  stem  such  a  tide,  as  has  broke  in  upon  us  and  beaten  downe 
the  high  and  rocky  cliffs  of  England,  as  if  they  had  been  onely 
muddy  banks  or  the  woody  fences  of  a  Low  Country.  But  on 
the  other  side  I  have  not  soe  meane  thoughts  of  the  grace  and 
power  of  God  Almighty,  who  has  manifested  his  strength  in  my 
weakness,  in  upholding  and  keeping  mc  steddy,  (dureing  the 
late  terrible  shock  which  like  an  earthquake  made  the  founda- 
tions of  the  kingdom  to  tremble,  and  overthrew  divers  sup- 
porters of  Church  and  State)  as  to  despair  of  all  success  in  my 
attempt  to  fortify  at  lest  some,  if  1  cannot  regain  others,  or  any, 
of  my  kindred  to  whom  I  write,  who  ought  not  to  conceit  them- 
selves soe  able  divines  as  to  think  they  are  in  spiritual!  matters 
above  my  counsell  and  advice. 

To  accomplish  this'  good  work,  whereon  I  invoke  the  assist- 
ance of  that  Spirit  whose  power  noe  creature  is  able  to  resist,  I 
shall  lay  before  their  eyes  some  of  the  good  old  Church  of  Eng- 
land divinity  which  hath  been  infused  into  me  as  well  as  their 
fathers  in  our  youthes,  by  those  right  orthodox  and  loyall  doctors 
of  the  old  stamp,  under  whose  conduct  we  have  had  the  felicity 
to  be  trained  upp,  and  remembring  and  well  considering  the 
word  of  our  Saviour  Christ,  that  a  prophet  hath  alwayes  lest 
honour  in  his  owne  country  and  among  his  own  kin,  I  shall 
keep  strictly  and  faithfully  not  only  to  the  sense,  but  often  in 
prosecuteing  this  point  use  the  very  words  of  a  famous  divine  * 
above  any  man's  contempt,  being  justly  had  in  honour  and 
veneration  of  the  whole  nation,  as  well  as  our  own  family. 

In  the  first  place,  then,  I  here  take  liberty  to  put  your  and 
mine  own  relations  in  mind  of  some  seasonable  truths,  well  cal- 
culated for  the  meridian  of  an  ancient,  loyall  family,  and  the 
most  effectuall  preservative  that  I  know  of  to  secure  their  inno- 
ccDcy  in  a  wavering,  corrupt,  seditious  age  and  country,  tinc- 
tur'd  all  over  with  schism  and  rebellion  (to  wit) : — 

That  onr  Blessed  Saviour  and  his  disciples  were,  of  all  the 
doctors  who  ever  were  in  the  world,  the  most  carefull  to  pre- 
serve the  doctrine  and  practice  of  allegiance,  and  entire  submis- 

*  Dr.  Hen.  Hamoud.

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  87 

and  unnaturaU,  a  fact  every  wayes  soe  un justify  able,  and 
an  impiety  ao  daring,  that  it  must  necessarily  in  the  con- 
clusion puU  down  heavy  wrath,  if  not  speedy  vengeance,  both 
on  the  contriver  and  accessary,  inviter  and  the  invited,  or  on 
their  posterity;  if  an  extraordinary  deep  humiliation  before 
God,  and  a  sincere  repentance,  somewhat  answerable  to  the 
greatness  of  the  provocation,  doe  not  in  due  season,  appease  his 
indignation. 

Of  which  heinous  guilt  it  concerns  every  one  who  hath  been 
unfortunately  dipt  therein  (as  every  complyer  with,  as  well  as 
promoter  of  the  new  government  in  England  certainly  is)  with 
greatest  speed  and  care  to  purge  himselfe ;  and  I  doe  hope  and 
pray  that  all  those  to  whom  I  doe  presume  here  in  this  paper  to 
address  my  selfe,  will  take  these  things  into  timely  and  deep 
consideration,  washing  off  those  stains  of  disloyalty  that  may 
have  involved  any  in  the  guilt  of  an  unparellell'd  usurpation, 
which  I  am  aflfraid  exposes  poor  England  to  God  Almightyes 
impending  judgments  more  than  all  the  former  sins  of  ourselves 
or  forefathers. 

That  I  have  for  my  own  perticular  practised  the  very  same 
loyalty  and  honest  zeal  in  reference  to  the  service  of  my 
Soveraign  (tho*  a  Roman  Catholick)  that  I  did  to  his  royall 
brother ;  and  have  not, .  that  I  can  discover  upon  the  most 
diligent  search,  wilfully  and  knowingly  made  one  false  stepp 
towards  the  late  irregular  and  unjustifiable  method  of  preservation 
of  our  religion  and  lawes  by  the  ungodly  practices  and  means  of 
invasion  and  usurpation,  (which  hath  in  good  truth  la)m  both  a 

Gsping)  is  a  felicity  which  doth  not  only  wonderfully  support, 
t  almost  transport  me,  amidst  my  exercises  of  patience,  and 
will  make  me  relish  the  worst  air  and  usage  that  I  can  meet 
with  abroad,  where  there  are  noe  fogs  nor  fumes  raised  by 
rebellion,  better  than  the  best  air  or  preferment  in  England,  or 
any  other  country  where  there  are.  And  here  I  should  begg 
pardon  for  this  present  trouble  and  conclude ;  haveing  been,  I 
fear,  too  tedious,  but  that  I  stand  obliged,  lest  I  preach  in  vain, 
to  answer  one  objection  which  is  easy  to  foresee  will  be  made 
against  my  doctrine,  and  may  carry  more  appearance  of  reason 
than  any  other :  to  wit, — 

Christ's  example  pretended  for  submission  to  the  prevailing 
power,  since  his  acknowledging  allegiance  to  be  due  to  Tiberius 
uttar,  whose  predecessors  had  soe  lately  changed  the  govern- 
ment of  Rome  oy  the  senate,  did,  by  that  act  of  his,  give  liberty 
to  us  lawfully  to  yield  our  allegiance  to  any  unjust  prevailing 
power  whatever  it  bee. 

This  difficulty  being  solved  by  the  foremention'd  learned

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  89 

or  meddle  with  the  crowne,  and  yet. most  willmgly  accepted 
thereof  at  the  very  first  ofler  of  the  people. 

Secondly,  the  exercise  of  the  King's  prerogative  in  dispensing 
with  some  lawes,  on  extraordinary  emergencyes,  was  thought  a 
burden  intoUerable,  but  it  hath  been  noe  crime  since  in  the 
subject  to  dispense  with  all.  They  haveing  got  (as  they  think) 
what  they  have  long  contended  for,  the  supremacy  in  their  own 
hands. 

Thirdly,  the  introducing  of  arbitrary  power  was  the  dread  of 
most  men,  and  now  they  are  contented  to  enjoy  nothing  else. 

Fourthly,  it  was  judged  impardonable  tyranny  in  our  Sove- 
reign to  touch  the  meanest  of  his  subjects  in  point  of  property, 
bat  it  is  a  laudable  vertue  in  the  subject  to  usurp  upon,  nay 
dispoee  of,  the  Crown. 

Fifthly,  the  English  were  overwhelmed  with  jealousyes  of 
introducmg  popery,  and  promoting  the  interest  of  France,  and 
all  the  while  have  gone  the  direct  way  to  bring  the  worst  of 
ibeir  fears  on  themselves,  by  driving  the  King  and  Prince  out 
of  the  kingdom. 

Sixthly,  in  a  word,  sundry  other  things,  which  were  deemed 
unsofferable  in  a  lawfull  prince  of  God's  ordaining,  are  now 
practiced  without  disgust  by  an  usurper  and  king  of  the  people's 
makeing. 

Hee  mat  is  not  yet  perfectly  convinced  of  the  hypocrysy  of  these 
pvetaioes  and  proceedings  (which  I  hope  the  most  emminent  of 
oar  clergy  and  nobility  by  this  time  are)  seems  to  have  neither 
eyes  to  see,  ears  to  hear,  nor  heart  nor  head  to  consider  and 
understand. 

I  shall  conclude  with  a  memorable  saying  of  our  Royall 
Martyr  King  Charles  I.,' on  his  observation  of  a  like  spirit 
of  delosion,  which,  in  his  dayes,  possessed  the  generallity  of 
the  people  of  the  same  kingdomes,  in  dethroning,  nay  murder- 
ing their  lawfull  King,  and  one  of  the  best  of  princes,  att  his 
owne  doors. 

"  Soe  easy  is  that  leger-de-main  which  serves  to  delude  the 
vulgar."  That  the  Almighty  and  wise  God,  who  in  his  just 
dis^easure  for  our  sins  and  ingratitude  to  himselfe  and  his 
Tioe-gerent,  hath  for  the  present  made  the  Church  and  Monarchy 
of  England  a  notable  monument  of  his  wrath,  would  bring  all, 
bigfa  and  low,  who  have  contributed  to  soe  heinous  a  guilt,  in 
Us  doe  time,  to  such  a  sight  and  sense  of  their  crimes,  that  they 
Mty  give  to  the  world  an  undeniable  demonstration  of  the  truth 
of  their  repentance,  labouring  with  all  their  might  to  redress 
tlie  scandals  the^-  have  given  by  an  unparell^ed  apostacy 
from    the    principles  of   our  Church,   and  an   abhorrod  de-

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  91 

my  coffers  and  pockets  so  full  as  some  more  frugall  aild  crafty 
than  my  selfe  nave  done  in  less  time,  with  a  smaller  estate  or 
revenue,  I  am  like  to  doe  a  sad  penance  for  it  here  abroad,  in  a 
forreign  kingdome.  And  the  friends  and  relations  I  leave  at 
home  will  not,  I  hope,  add  affliction  to  affliction  (if  they  will 
not  help  me  with  their  purses)  by  loading  me  with  their  cen- 
sures, especially  considering  two  last  acts  of  mine  to  de- 
monstrate the  sincerity  of  my  repentance  for  it.  First,  I  did 
diminish  my  revenue  very  considerably  by  rent  charges  to 
satisfy  my  own  just  debts.  Secondly,  that  I  look'd  on  my  long 
n^lect  to  practice  frugality  as  a  great  sin ;  that  I  did  as  volun- 
tarily put  my  selfe  into  a  kind  of  white  sheet  to  attone  for  the 
same,  by  confessing  it  to  God  and  the  world  in  a  small  piece  I 
printed  in  the  year  1685  *. 

This  is  my  comfort,  that  noe  person  in  England  is  like  to  loose 
by  me,  unless  by  his  own  proper  choice,  and  if  one  man  doth 
8oe,  he  must  thank  himselfe  rather  than  blame  me.  If  I  suffer 
deprivation  to  his  loss,  he  must  quarrell  with  God  and  the 
King,  whose  comands  have  unavoidably  obliged  me  to  hold 
fast  my  religion  and  loyalty  :  and  if  the  sacraficeing  of  both,  or 
either  of  them,  was  in  my  judgment  too  dear  a  purchase  of  my 
revenue  for  my  selfe,  noe  one  could  reasonably  expect  that  I 
diould  imdergoe  it  for  another. 

Hopeing  that  these  few  hints  may  give  some  satisfaction  to 
all  but  the  malicious  authors  of  our  present  misery,  I  shall  not 
enlarge  this  postscript  farther  than  to  acknowledge  with  all 
thankfullness  the  kindness  which  you  have  shewed  me  in  pro- 
cureing  a  dispensation  for  me,  (notwithstanding  I  have  contra- 
dicted your  example)  which  I  esteem  a  greater  obli^tion  at 
those  fnends'  hands  who  were  instruementaJl  therein,  smce  they 
did  it  without  my  privity  or  motion. 


By  the  publication  of  the  following  Adress  and  Queryes,  it  may 
appear  that  the  author  is  not  afiraid  (notwithstanding  the 
obloquy  he  did  a  while  undergoe  in  the  year  '88  for  his  dutifuU 
eomplyance  with  the  King)  to  owne  those  notions  of  loyalty 
which  he  did  endeavour  to  infuse  into  all  persons  committed  to 

*  Tke  Dean  donbtleas  aUades  to  the  **  counsells  and  directions,  &c.*'  which  he  ad« 
diruKjd  to  his  nephew,  (see  antk,  p.  83.)  and  published  in  the  year  1685.  Amongst 
otkcr  eihortations  contained  therein,  he  impresses  upon  his  nephew  the  duties  of  care 
aad  economy,  and  sUodes  to  his  own  errors  in  the  way  of  extravagance,  stating  that 
ha  had  giren  the  world  reason  to  suppose  that  he  was  not  given  to  frugality ;  but 
sqfi,  at  the  same  time,  that  his  money  had  not  been  dissipated  in  debauchery.  Cf. 
ipn  tlib  part  oftho  subject  a  letter,  (given  hereafter  amongst  the  Miscellaneous 
CotrMpoodenoe,)  from  the  Dean  to  Archbtohop  Sancroft,  dated  Nov.  2fSth,  1S84.

LETTER  TO  THE  EARL  OF  BATH.  93 

into  a  complyanoe  with  the  will  and  desires  of  his  subjects,  be 
they  neyer  soe  much  for  the  good  of  himselfe,  Church  or  King- 
dome  :  having  learned  in  the  communion  of  my  mother  the 
Church  of  England  (wherein  I  am  firmly  resolved  to  live  and 
dye)  other  pnnciples  than  to  teach  my  supreme,  or  any  my 
superiorSy-  wnat  he  or  thev  ought  to  doe,  with  a  sword  in  my 
hfiuid,  or  compel  a  soveraign  monarch,  whether  he  will  or  noe, 
to  doe  his  duty  and  gratirjr  his  people,  sooner  than  he  is  in- 
clined, or  his  own  necessity  (whereof  he  is  best  judge)  will  per- 
mitt.  Satisfying  my  selfe  with  the  repeated  assureance  which 
your  Majesty  hath  already  given  of  our  religion,  lawes  and 
libertyes,  together  with  all  your  past  and  present  gracious  con- 
descentions  to  remove  the  fears  and  jealousy es  of  your  people, 
resolving  to  stay  your  leisure  for  the  calling  of  a  parliament, 
and  all  other  means  and  methods  which  are  in  your  Majestyes 
choice  for  the  securing  vour  own  royal  person,  or  establisnment 
of  your  government  in  Church  and  State. 

Denis  Granville, 

Dean  of  Durham. 
Not.  87,  '88. 


Queries  put  by  the  Dean  of  Durham  *  to  some  young  clergy- 
men, to  answer  privately  in  his  own  study,  (near  about  the  time 
his  Majesty  sent  forth  an  order  to  read  his  Declaration  for 
liberty  of  conscience)  which  being  treacherously  stolen  away  or 
ialsely  transcribed,  upon  the  interception  of  a  letter  to  a  friend, 
were  dispersed  and  canvass'd  upp  and  downe  the  coffee-houses 
of  London,  and  other  parts  of  England,  (as  mentioned  p.  73,) 
and  are  for  that  reason  printed. 

1.  Whether  a  subject  is  not  bound  to  comply  with  his  prince 
in  every  command,  or  reasonable  intimation  of  his  pleasure, 
wherein  he  is  not  in  conscience  bound  to  the  contrary? 

2.  Whether  a  subject  is  not  bound  to  comply  with  his  prince 
in  some  things  which  he  conceives  not  onely  inexpedient,  but 
such  as  may  tend  to  the  prejudice  of  the  flourishing  condition 

*  QiMms,  essentially  the  same  as  those  in  the  teit,  have  found  a  place  amongst 
Bbhop  CosIb's  works,  (Anglo-Cath.  Lib.  iT.  384.)  and  are  supposed  by  the  editor  of 
llMt  volome  to  have  been  issued  about  the  time  when  the  Declaration  of  liberty  of 
nwsiiiBiiii  was  put  forth  by  Charles  11. ,  i.e.  March  16,  1672.  But  it  is  evident, 
ft«B  what  the  Dean  says,  (ante,  p.  73.)  that  they  were  falsely  ascribed  to  the  Bishop, 
ami  hcpe  no  referenoe  to  Charles^  Dechuration,  but  to  the  much  later  one  of  James.—

LETTER  TO   THE    BISHOP   OF   DURHAM.  95 

hath  prodaced,  I  think,  all  most  all  kind  of  changes  among  men 
of  every  quality,  degree  and  calling,  but  that  which  Doctor  B. 
speaks  of  in  his  letters  concerning  his  travells  into  Italy,  I  mean 
the  change  of  sex. 

I  need  not,  my  lord,  give  you  any  perticidar  account  of  my 
behaviour  or  usage  in  England,  after  your  lordshipp  was  called 
up  to  London,  about  Michaelmas  last,  or  of  the  manner  of  my 
escape,  since  your  lordshipp  was  certified  by  letters  from  my 
selfe,  in  the  moneths  of  Oct.  and  Nov.  last,  of  most  matters  of 
moment  relateing  to  the  Church  and  County  of  Durham,  (tho'  I 
had  the  honour  and  satisfaction  of  receiveing  an  answer  to  few 
of  them)  and  may  come  to  the  knowledge  of  other  things  by  the 
relation  of  my  deportment,  which  I  have  published  in  my  printed 
letter  to  my  brother  the  Earle  of  Bathe,  whereto  I  crave  leave 
to  referr  your  lordshipp  and  all  who  are  inquisitive  after  me. 

I  shall  onely  embrace  this  occasion  solemnly  and  publickly  to 
assure  your  lordshipp,  in  generaU,  that  I  did  faithfully,  and 
with  as  much  punctuallity  as  I  was  able,  discharge  those  trusts 
which  were  comitted  to  me,  in  every  one  of  the  places  and 
offices  which  I  had  the  honour  to  bear  under  your  lordship,  and 
maintain'd  my  post  in  your  absence,  notwithstanding  mighty 
discouragements,  till  it  was  not  possible  for  me  any  longer  to 
strive  against  the  torrent  which  had  hurryed  all  matters  in 
that  and  other  parts  of  the  nation  into  great  disorder  and  con- 
fusion. 

When  I  saw  there  was  noe  possible  means  left  for  me  but 
to  sink,  by  endeavouring  to  oppose  what  was  irresistable, 
or  swim  down  the  stream,  (which  noe  argueraent  nor  ex- 
ample of  the  age  could,  I  thank  God,  prevail  with  me  to  doe) 
I  was  under  a  necessity  to  tume  aside  and  withdraw  my  selfe, 
beholding  matters  a  while  att  a  distance,  rather  than  in  my  own 
station  and  place  of  acting ;  since  I  carryed  about  with  me  an 
unalterable  loyall  heart,  which  woidd  not  suffer  me  to  runn  (as 
most  did)  witn  the  multitude,  and,  on  the  other  side,  wanted 
both  strength  of  my  owne,  and  the  assistance  of  others,  effec- 
tually to  oppose  that  unruly  and  many  headed  monster:  but 
did  not  resolve  to  leave  the  kingdome,  and  commit  my  flock 
and  £unily  alone  to  God  Almightyes  protection  and  care,  (as  I 
afterwards  did)  till  I  had  a  powerfuU  example,  which  a  dutifull 
subject  ought  to  be  proud  to  follow,  and  a  precedent  which  may 
sett  me  above  the  censures  of  any  person  in  the  three  king- 
domes. 

When  my  Soveraign  was  forced  from  his  own  pallace,  nay 
driven  out  of  the  realme,  it  was  time  for  those  who  were  firmly 
resolved  to  adhere  to  and  suffer  with  him,  to  yield  to  that  force

LETTER  TO  THE    BISHOP   OF   DURHAM.  97 

deraing  these  matters  in  the  pulpitt,  both  in  the  Cathedrall  and 
other  chnrchesy  after  his  Majestyes  happy  accession  to  the  im- 
periall  Crowne,  and  the  birth  of  the  Prince  of  Wales. 

Towards  the  filling  np  that  measure  of  iniquity  wherewith 
our  just  God  would  noe  longer  dispense,  and  whereto  our  kings, 
our  princes,  and  our  prophets,  nay  all  the  people  ii\  the  land, 
(to  speak  in  the  evangelical  prophet's  phrase)  have  contributed 
more  or  leas ;  I  know  that  1  my  selfe  (a  wretched,  miserable 
sinner)  have  sadly  help'd  in  every  one  of  my  capacityes,  and 
heartily  begg  pardon  of  God,  through  Jesus  Christ,  for  my 
share  of  the  guilt.  But  it  is  to  me  an  unspeakable  comfort, 
that  neither  my  enemves,  nor  my  owne  conscience,  can  accuse 
me  of  those  sinns  wnich  doe  seem  to  be  more  imediate  in- 
gredients of  God's  wrath,  and  which  certainly  more  than  others 
nave  provoked  him  in  such  manner  and  by  such  instruements  to 
pimisn  us. 

For  I  have  heartily,  and  from  the  bottom  of  my  soul,  re- 
joyeed  att  our  gracious  Soveraign's  moimting  the  throne,  [awc?] 
att  GKmI's  blessmo;  him  and  us  with  a  hopemll  prince.  I  have 
been  all  along,  without  murmuring,  contented  with  his  govern- 
ment. I  have  had  alwayes  more  jealousy  of  the  subject  than  of 
my  Soveraigne.  I  have  thought  our  selves  (as  it  hath  proved) 
nearer  a  rebellion  than  the  introduceing  of  popery,  and  lastly,  I 
am  not,  noe  not  in  the  thoughts  of  heart,  guilty  in  the  lestwise 
of  that  perfidiousness  and  ingratitude  to  my  Soveraign,  or  in- 
jnstioe  and  unnaturallness  to  my  fellow-subjects,  of  calling  in 
finreign  assistance  for  our  preservation.  Or  if  I  had,  it  should 
have  been  any  nation  in  the  world  rather  than  our  neighbours 
of  Holland,  being  not  ignorant  of  their  dealings  with  the  Eng- 
liah  both  at  Amboina  and  Bantam. 

Tis  highly  probable,  my  lord,  that  these  venr  things  which  I 
here  alledge  for  my  Justification,  and  wherein  1  alsoe  glory,  will 
be  received  with  derision,  and  objected  against  me  as  my 
crimes,  and  that  mine  and  other  men's  forwardness  to  obejr,  and 
comply  with  the  King,  has  contributed  to  his  fall.  This  is  a 
(ate  wnich  I  am  sure  it  is  not  possible  for  me  to  avoid,  since 
that,  before  I  left  the  nation,  I  had  this  laid  to  my  charge  by 
•ome  who,  to  justify  their  own  fawning  on  the  Mobile,  out  of 
fear  or  interest,  began  to  lay  all  the  guilt  of  the  King  and 
Kingdome's  overth^w  to  the  door  of  the  King,  and  his  most 
obement  subjects ;  as  in  Oates's  and  Tong's  plott  some  brought 
in  our  late  gracious  Soveraign  as  concerned  in  a  designe  against 
his  own  life. 

But  I  would  crave  leave  here  to  know  who  are  the  objectors. 
If  they  are  anch  as  have '  renounced  their  allegiance  to  their

I.K1TER   TO   THE    BISHOP   OF   DURHAM.  99 

me  thereto.  And  since,  your  lordshipp  hath  been  soe  kind  as  to 
attest  with  your  mouth  to  his  Majesty,  that  I  was  never  back- 
ward to  concur  with  you  in  any  thing  which  was  for  the  King's 
service.  Wherefore  I  shall  spend  noe  more  ink  to  disturb  your 
k>rdsbipp  with  enlargeing  on  soe  unnecessary  a  topick.  But  I 
shall  take  care  to  strive  (by  God's  grace)  to  make  good  the 
character  which  your  lordshipp  was  pleas'd  to  give  of  me  last 
year  to  the  King.  You  were  not,  my  lord,  any  wayes  deceiv'd 
m  your  attestation,  neither  shall  his  Majesty  (I  trust  in  God)  in 
his  expectation  from  me. 

The  remaining  paper,  then,  my  lord,  will  be  more  signifi- 
cantly employed  in  laying  before  your  lordshipp  and  the*  world, 
the  reasons  why  I  have  not  governed  my  selfe  by  your  lord- 
shipp's  example  since  October  last,  as  I  did  before,  and  cannot 
be  prevailed  on  now  to  comply  with  the  people's,  as  I  did  with 
the  Lord's  anointed,  my  leige  and  dread  Soveraign. 

It  was,  I  know,  sadly  bewoilable  for  persons  m  such  publick 
stations,  and  soe  nearly  related  as  the  Bishop  and  Sean  of  Dur- 
ham, to  draw  two  wayes  as  wee  did,  (I  must  confess)  after  your 
lordshipp  was  plcas'd  to  present  a  paper  of  advice  to  his  Majesty 
to  comply  with  the  demands  of  the  multitude. 

And  it  was  the  more  to  be  lamented  that  such  division  shou'd 
happen  in  a  juncture  of  affairs,  and  conclusion  of  the  Church 
and  State,  that  required  the  uniteing  of  all  persons,  in  every 
body,  ecclesiastick  and  civill,  (all  which  strength  was  little 
enough)  to  uphold  our  Soveraign  lord's  Crown  and  dignity, 
whi<£  we  both  were  stricktly,  by  our  repeated  oathes,  (and  pos- 

to  oounteiiaiioe  tbe  performance.  When  all  was  over,  the  Bishop  (as  a  penanoe  I 
pNtBine)  order'd  me  to  go  to  the  Dean  (as  Archdeacon)  to  require  him  to  make  a  re- 
tarn  to  court  of  the  names  of  all  such  as  had  not  read  it,  which  I  did,  tho'  I  was  one 
of  tbe  number. 

When  the  day  of  thanksgiving  for  the  birth  of  the  Prince  (of  Wales)  was  solem- 
Bb'd,  tbe  greatest  and  most  splendid  entertainment  I  ever  saw  at  Durham  was  made 
hf  tbe  Bishop  upon  that  occasion,  and  he  himself  preached  a  very  excellent  sermon, 
exhorting  all  to  loyalty  and  obedience  to  the  King,  &c.  So  it  is  worded  in  the 
Gaxette,  July  5  to  July  9,  for  which  reason  I  presumed  it  to  have  been  sent  up  by 
Us  aecretary  Bifr.  Peters.  But  having  the  curiosity  to  enquire,  he  told  me  bluntly, 
the  aoocNuit  did  not  come  from  him,  but  was  sent  up  by  the  Bishop  himself.  Many 
dher  instances  I  could  add,  for  he  (the  Bishop)  was  really  troublesome  (and  I  some- 
times weary)  with  his  recounting  his  great  and  many  obligations  to  the  Duke,  and 
after  to  the  King." 

These  notes  occur  on  the  fly  leaves  of  the  copies  of  Dean  Granville's  book  re- 
ipecthrdy  oootained  in  the  Bodleian  and  the  British  Museum,  and  have  evidently 
been  transcribed  from  the  original  notes  in  the  copy  belonging  to  Tho.  Baker,  Coll, 
h.  aoehu  efeclui.  The  editor  regrets  that  this  copy  should  have  escaped  his  re- 
searches, for  as  Baker  was  a  friend  of  Granville,  and  likewise  a  non -juror,  it  might 
probably  have  been  found  to  contain  some  curious  adversaria.  It  does  not  appear  to 
be  either  in  tbe  University  Library  at  Cambridge,  or  in  that  of  Baker's  own  college 
cirStJohn'8.--£D.

lETTER  TO  THE   BISHOP   OF  DURHAM.  101 

PtOYmce,  from  the  example  of  great  and  venerable  prelates^ 
which  my  intirely  devoted  heart  to  honour  and  obey  the  King 
woald  not  permit  me  to  imitate,  tho'  modesty  would  not  allow 
me  openly  to  condemn.  But  when  those  who  laboured  to  shake 
me  cm  from  my  foundation  of  firm  loyalty,  and  to  betray  my 
innocence,  by  perswading  me  to  enter  into  the  herd,  descem'd 
me  void  of  my  last  support,  and  depriv'd  of  the  example  of  my 
owne  Biabopp  and  father  in  God,  they  attack't  me  (your  lord- 
ship may  imagine)  with  too  great  strength  and  rudeness  for  a 
single  Dean,  without  countenance  of  superiour,  or  concurrence 
of  inferiour,  brethren,  any  longer  to  withstand  or  oppose  with 
any  considerable  effect. 

Tho'  God  Almighty  (praised  be  His  Holy  Name)  endowed 
me  in  that  day  of  tryall  with  soe  much  courage  as  to  attempt  to 
doe  it,  in  such  manner  as  may  hereafter  prove  to  edification, 
never  changing  my  note  or  measures  (when  all  began  to  dance 
after  an  outlandish  pipe)  as  long  as  I  staid  on  the  place.  Wit- 
ness my  sermons  I  preach'd  on  the  5  and  9  of  December,  two 
dayes  before  I  fled,  and  the  Sunday  after  the  generallity  of  the 
citty  and  country  had,  with  open  armes  and  mouth,  received  a 
diBOontented  loid*,  who,  the  week  before,  seiz'd  on  the  towne 
fiff  the  Prince  of  Orange,  and  prophan'd  both  your  Castle  and 
Market  Cross  with  the  reading  of  a  treasonable  Declaration,  as 
is  related  more  at  large  in  the  foregoing  letter. 

I  could  not  accord,  I  must  confess,  with  such  example  of 
your  lordshipp,  nor  with  the  example  of  others,  in  being  silent, 
or  sitting  stQI  in  a  time  of  imminent  danger,  warr,  and  tumult, 
when  ffood  nature,  as  well  as  ^ood  conscience,  dictated  to  all 
fiuthfuTl  clergymen  and  Christians  not  onely  to  lift  up  their 
Toioes  like  a  trumpet,  but  to  employ  all  their  hands  to  have  re- 
stadn'd  the  unruly  multitude,  which  had  gott  the  bitt  in  their 
te^,  and  were  running  madly  to  a  change  of  government,  and 
deposition  of  their  King,  and  in  that,  towards  their  own  destruc- 
tioai,  since  the  Monarchy,  as  well  as  our  Church,  was  like  to  re- 
oeive  (as  it  hath  done)  an  incureable  blow  by  another  disgrace 
and  banishment  of  a  lawfuU  sovereign,  of  the  same  stock  and 
nee  which  had  been  once  before  barbarously  treated  beyond 
expression,  and  in  such  degree  that  the  English  nation  for  a 
while  became  an  object  of  contempt  and  indignation  among  the 
rerw  Turks  and  Pagans. 

However  matters  might  appear  to  your  lordshipp  and  other 
prdates  above  att  London,  (as  I  ought  in  duty  to  conclude,  by 
jour  and  their  actings,  that  they  did  otherwise  than  to  me 

*  The  Lord  Lumley.     See  ante,  p.  70.— Ed.

LETTER   TO   THE    BISHOP   OF   DURHAM.  103 

8ouL  Wee  haTo,  Gh>d  knowes,  madly  grasp'd  our  religion,  our 
liberty,  and  our  lawes,  out  of  the  hands  of  our  own  lawfully 
descended,  mercifiill  Prince,  who  manifested  all  along,  and  even 
att  the  last  upshot,  that  he  carryed  about  with  him,  as  he  pro- 
fess'd,  a  truly  English  heart,  and  whose  interest  it  was  (what- 
ever was  his  Majestyes  religion)  to  uphold  them  all ;  grasp'd 
them  away,  I  say,  and  put  them  into  the  power,  and  att  the 
mercy,  of  fbrreigners,  whose  humour  and  inclination  it  is,  as 
well  atf  interest,  to  destroy  them  all,  whereof  a  few  moneths  are 
like  to  afford  us  more  lamentable  demonstrations,  as  we  have 
reason  to  apprehend  by  the  five  or  six  that  are  past. 

By  these  few  honest  reflections  on  the  miserable  estate  of  my 
native  country,  and  more  particularly  on  the  Cathedrall  and 
Archdeaconry  of  Durham,  (which  I  cannot  here  reflect  on  with- 
out often  sitting  down  and  weep)  your  lordshipp  may  perceive 
that  I  am  the  very  same  that  you  found  me  when  you  entered 
on  your  Diocess,  17  years  ago,  and  left  me,  in  the  month  of 
October  last,  bearing  the  brunt  of  that  dreadfull  hurricane 
which  was  then  comeing  out  of  Holland,  and  struggling  with 
that-  insatiable  Hydra  which  did  widely  gape  for  the  Crowne 
and  Mytre,  and  is  like,  after  devouring  its  supports,  (like  a 
judar)  to  disgorge  a  common- wealth. 

I  am  indeed,  my  lord,  on  all  accounts,  and  to  all  intents  and 
porpoees,  the  very  same  I  have  ever  been,  intirely  devoted  to 
the  honour  and  interest  of  the  Royall  family  of  the  Stuarts, 
and  8oe  unalterable  and  steddy  a  practiser,  as  well  as  pro- 
fessour,  of  the  old  Church  of  England  religion,  (and  more  espe- 
cially of  those  distin^ishing  doctrines  which  do  simally 
lumoar  our  Church,  and  which  were,  whilst  practised,  soe  lovely 
in  the  eyes  of  all,  as  to  prevail  with  a  Roman  Catholick  prince, 
at  his  mounting  the  throne,  to  continue  and  protect  her)  that  I 
can,  by  the  power  of  noe  temptation,  or  arguements  of  Dutch 
divinity,  be  induced  to  doe  any  certain  sinfull  act  to  preserve 
her,  whether  by  way  of  resisting  my  lawfull  Soveraigne,  or 
complying  with  an  usurper. 

I  say,  my  lord,  that  I  am,  both  by  nature  and  instinct,  a 
perfect  abhorrer  of  that  diabolick  sin  of  rebellion,  however  var- 
niah't  over  by  the  father  of  lyes,  and  by  what  names  or  titles 
soever  it  be  dignifyed  or  distinguished.  And,  in  the  same 
temper  of  mind,  I  doe  here  declare  to  your 'lordshipp  (which  I 
iesae  may  be  communicated  to  every  person  in  your  Diocese 
under  you)  that  I  am  resolved,  by  the  grace  of  the  Almighty,  to 
end  my  dayes. 

Grieving  that  your  lordshipp  hath,  by  doeing  homage  to  a 
soperiour  which  1  cannot  owne,  absolved  me,  in  a  great  mea-

LETTER  TO  THE   VICE-DEAN,   &C.   OF   DUUHAM.  105 

On  this  account,  (in  my  letter  to  you  and  discourse  with 
those  I  met  in  my  journey)  I  insisted  on  little  else  than  what 
related  to  my  then  growing  indisposition,  which  was  come  to  a 
great  heighth,  neither  did  I  (God  be  thanked)  meet  or  converse 
with  any  so  unreasonable  or  inquisitive  as  to  demand  stronger 
motives  than  the  recovery  and  preservation  of  my  health,  (the 
next  valuable  blessing  to  the  salvation  of  my  soule)  to  authorize 
my  designe  of  hastenmg  into  this  kingdom,  famous  for  its  sove- 
raigne  and  beneficiall  air  for  all  consumptive  constitutions. 
And  the  vertue  whereof,  tho'  I  am  not  got  into  the  most  saluti- 
ferous  region,  I  now  already,  in  a  very  great  measure,  per- 
ceive. 

But  tho'  all  I  alledge  be  very  true  and  reall,  yet  I  dare  not 
deny  that  other  and  greater  matters  (set  forth  in  a  precedent 
letter)  did  first  put  it  mto  my  thoughts,  and  incline  me  to  quitt 
my  station,  and  without  which,  had  the  danger  of  my  life  been 
never  soe  great,  I  must  confess  that  I  think  I  had  never  more 
thus  left  my  charges,  after  soe  considerable  an  absence  here- 
tofore (to  recover  my  health)  from  my  offices  and  cures. 

In  plain  English  then,  I  declare  ip  all  the  world  that  the 
true  cause  of  my  suddain  flight  was,  that  I  carryed  about  me  a 
conscience,  more  \mtractable  and  less  plyable  to  an  usurpation 
than  most  I  left  behind,  as  process  of  time  hath  made  too  appa- 
rent. My  conscience  (such  as  it  was)  did  oblige  me  to  the  ut- 
most of  my  strength  to  oppose  all  usurped  power,  (as  I  did  to 
the  last,  witness  all  the  congregation  in  the  Quire  the  Sunday 
before  my  departure)  and  then,  I  need  not  tell  you,  it  was  not 
fitt  for  me  to  stay  there  any  longer.  I  might  use  the  word 
mposiiblef  rather  than  unfitt,  since  I  could  not  with  good  con- 
science stay.  Id  tantum  possumus,  (says  the  civilian)  quod  jure 
po99umus, 

I  cannot  deny  that  every  one  of  you,  and  all  those  clergy  in 
the  nation  which  were  satisfyed  and  resolved  to  submitt,  that  is 
to  say,  renounce  your  allegiance  to  your  lawfuU  Soveraigne,  and 
swear  new  to  those  who-  have  ungodlily  and  unjustly  deposed 
him,  have  done  politickly  enough  to  remaine  at  home,  sit  still, 
and  hold  your  tongues,  at  a  time  when  the  right  Church  of 
England  religion,  (according  to  the  best  notion  I  have  of  it) 
nay,  Christianity  in  generall,  required  all  faithfull  preachers  to 
Hfi  up  their  voices  Kke  a  trumpet,  to  oppose  the  madness  of  tho 
people,  and  stopp  them  in  their  carreer  to  destruction. 

But  I,  your  imworthy  Dean,  who,  without  doubt  or  scruple, 
beleiv^d  it  at  that  time,  as  I  doe  at  present,  a  piece  of  detestable 
rebellion  to  jovne  with  any  in  a  conspiracy  against  our  King's 
Crowne,  as  weU  as  life,  (and  desire  to  be  tome  with  wild  horses

respects  odious  and  infamous,  had  not  the  boldness  to  seize  on 
the  Crowne,  nor  the  people  of  England,  at  that  time,  (tho' 
plunged  over  head  and  ears  in  rebellion)  the  timidity  nor 
stupidity  to  offerr  it  to  him,  who,  without  all  dispute,  might 
then  with  less  sinn  and  more  prudence,  have  put  it  on  his  head, 
(it  haveing  for  a  while  been  deposited  and  unemployed)  than 
somebody  since  snatched  it  from  the  head  of  his  owne  uncle,  nay 
father. 

This  is,  Gentlemen,  the  true  and  reall  cause  of  my  withdraw- 
ing, and  if  you  please  to  be  mindfuU  of  the  critical!  time  when, 
the  manner  how,  and  the  cause  wherefore,  being  alsoe  soe  just 
to  your  Dean  as  not  to  look  barely  on  his  goeing  away,  but  con- 
sider it  as  circumstantiated,  and  allowing  me  so  much  charity 
(who  have  alwayes  exercised  greater  towards  my  dependents)  as 
to  beleive  I  did  att  least  mean  well  then,  and  doe  speak  true  att 
present,  I  am  willing  to  bear  all  other  censures  you  can  load  me 
with  for  this  late  hazardous  undertakeing,  wnich,  however  it 
may  be  misunderstood  in  England,  (over  which,  as  of  late, 
there  seems  still  to  hang  some  notorious  cloud  and  mist  which 
strangely  obscures  men's  imderstanding)  and  deem'd  an  act  of 
fear  or  folly,  yet  I  am,  God  be  prais'd,  fully  perswaded  that  it 
was  the  most  nonest,  the  most  couragious,  and  the  wisest,  act  of 
my  whole  life,  and  doe  incessantly  praise  his  name  that  he  was 
pleas'd  to  endow  me  with  his  grace,  (passing  hy  many  more 
capable  to  doe  him  service)  at  that  very  time,  and  m  such  manor 
as  I  did,  to  bear  witness  of  the  truth. 

1.  For  my  flock :  had  I  (whose  notion  of  religion  and  loyalty 
hath  caused  me  all  along  to  act  at  another  rate)  fail'd  by  a 
sordid  and  truely  mean  complyance,  I  had  certainly  done  them 
irrepairable  wrong,  by  thwarting  my  past  doctrine  and  destroy- 
ing the  example  of  my  whole  life. 

2.  As  for  my  revenue :  tho'  I  possest  the  best  Deanery  and 
possibly  the  best  Archdeaconry,  and  one  of  the  best  liveings  in 
England,  a  faithfull  Christian  ouffht  not  soe  highly  to  value 
them  as  to  put  them  into  the  scales  with  his  conscience ;  and 
besides,  I  doe  not  forget  that  I  both  received  and  held  my 
Deanery  by  the  King's  favour,  and  doe  resolve  that  without  his 
fiivour  I  will  never  keep  it. 

These  two  perticulars  granted,  I  leave  all  men  to  judge  whe- 
ther it  was  an  unwise  act  of  mine,  all  things  considered,  to 
withdraw  when,  and  in  such  manner  as  I  did,  and  I  doe  well 
assure  my  selfe  that  it  will  [not]  be  esteemed  otherwise  by  all 
those  that  doe  not  deny  the  truth  of  this  undoubted  maxime, 
that  honesty  is  the  best  policy.  And  I  doe  comfort  my  selfe 
that  my  poor  exploded  notions  of  honesty  and  religion,  loyalty

LETTER  TO  THE   VICE-DEAN,   &C.    OF   DURHAM.  109 

deeply  dyed  in  the  blood  of  King  Charles  the  Martyr.    And 
yet   all  the  religion,  and   great  ostentation  of  purity  of  the 
Grospell,  wherewith  it  was  introduced,  and  at  last,  after  a  flood 
of  loyall  blood,  submitted  to,  by  an  infatuated  generation,  ended 
at  length   in   downright   enthusiasm,  which,  by   breaking   of 
fences  and  tearing  up  foundations,  lett  in  a  deluge  of  all  kind  of 
prophanenes:   the  priviledges   and  propertyes,  as  well  as  the 
liberty,  of  the  subject  were  got  into  the  hands  of  such  miserable 
keepers  as  kept  them  all  to  themselves,  in  such  sort  as  scarce 
any  person,  you  doe  well  remember,  could  be  master  of  them, 
or  meet  with  them,  but  att  Wallingford  house.    In  a  word,  after 
in^Lpressible  violence  and  injustice,  cutting  off  sundry  members 
of  Church  and  State,  and  most,  those  well  fix'd  Church  of  Eng- 
land men,  (clergy  or  layicks)  who  had  the  valour  to  withstand 
the  usurpers  of  those  dayes;  all  matters  att  last  run  into  anarchy 
and  confusion,  and  the  babell  which  had  been  twenty  years  in 
building,  after  a  short  tottering  at  the  death  of  their  cheif  up- 
holder, fell  and  crushed  it  selfe  with  its  own  weight,  and  cover'd 
all  their  antimonarchicall  machinations  with  its  ruins. 

The  serious  and  sober  review  of  all  past  transactions,  from  the 
beginning  of  the  long  and  Great  Rebellion,  home  to  the  Dutch 
invasion,  to  wit,  of  the  first  stupendous  wickedness  of  the  ene- 
myes  of  the  King  and  Church  of  England,  the  wonderfull  long 
roferring  of  a  justly  incens'd  God,  his  unconceivable  goodness 
and  compassion,  at  length,  in  a  reall  delivery  of  our  nation  and 
the  Church,  (from  not  onely  the  most  arbitrary  power  which 
had  been  before  exercised,  but  from  the  utmost  malice  of  its 
worst  adversaryes  who  were  watching  to  devour  her)  the  wretched 
reqoitall  of  God's  mercy  and  love  made  to  heaven  by  the  most 
reall  (I  fear  none  can  excuse  themselves)  as  well  as  pretended 
friends  of  Crowne  and  Miter,  in  repaying  such  unexpressible 
bounty  with  contempt  and  iuOTatitude,  and,  at  last,  the  most 
deplorable  folly  and  madness  oi  the  people  of  England,  in  being 
catch'd  by,  nay  running  into,  the  very  same  snares  wherein 
they  had  been  once  before  entangled,  by  the  subtility  of  the 
deiill,  almost  to  their  utter  destruction.  The  recalling  to  mind, 
and  through  consideration,  I  say,  of  such  and  the  like  passages, 
should  have  made  us,  methinks,  wise  enough  to  have  avoided  in 
due  season  the  same  trapp  which  was  againe  laid  for  us,  and 
into  which  we  are  a  second  time  fallen;  at  least,  one  would 
guess,  (or  else  we  are  become  perfectly  stupid  and  insensible)

may  be  remedylessly  deprived  of  the  remaining  part  of  our

LETTER  TO  THE   VICE-DEAN,   &C.    OF   DURHAM.  Ill 

distiiiCTisIiable  and  incorporated  in  the  mass  of  rebellion  which 
the  wiae  and  just  God  is  pleas'd  to  permit  to  oppress  the  whole 
land,  pierces  my  very  soid. 

It  was  one  of  the  most  painfull  mortifications  I  ever  mett 
withy  the  week  before  my  departure,  to  disceme  my  selfe  de- 
serted by  aU  the  Citty  Clergy,  in  my  honest  zeal  for  the  right- 
eous cause  of  my  Soveraigne,  in  such  sort  as  not  to  discover 
then  on  the  place  any  one  ecclesiastick,  neither  in  the  Cathedrall, 
or  anv  parochial  Church  or  Chappell  within  the  precincts  of 
that  (5itty,  who  had  the  courage  at  that  time  to  owne  openly, 
either  in  the  pulpit  or  in  his  conversation,  his  opposed  Prince's 
interest  and  honour,  by  shewing  just  indignation  against  that 
treasonable  attempt  wmch  was  then  insolently  made  against  his 
Crown  and  dignity,  in  reading  publickly  and  with  great  for- 
mality the  rebellious  paper*  mentioned  in  this  and  former 
letters,  tho'  every  man,  who  was  not  a  mere  ideot,  must  com- 
prehend that  thiat  very  act  countenanced  was,  in  effect,  the 
nulling  up  the  sluse,  and  letting  in  a  stream  of  rebellion,  to  over- 
flow the  whole  County. 

This  was,  I  declare,  to  me  a  mighty  exercise  of  patience,  and 
did,  among  other  pressures,  which  possibly  contributed  much  to 
my  crazy  condition  last  winter,  heavily  afflict  me :  but  when  I 
look  forther,  and  at  this  day  regard  the, state  ecclesiastick  of  the 
whole  County,  and  discover  but  three  of  all  my  brethren  of  the 
Clergy  through  the  whole  Bishoprick  of  Durham,  (as  I  am  made 
beleive  by  report)  who  have  had  either  the  integrity  or  courage 
to  stand  their  ground  against  a  new  and  unlawfuU  oath  of  alle- 
giance to  a  prmce  sett  up  by  the  abhorr'd  treachery  and  un- 
heard of  ingratitude  of  the   people,  (subjects)  who  have  noe 
tathorily  in  our  ancient  henditary  realme  to  dispose  of  the 
Crown,  I  am  above  measure  astonisned,  and  overwhelmed  with 
greif,  which  grief  is  unexpressibly  augmented,  when  I  consider 
that  the  menu)ers  of  that  body^  or  comunity,  whereof  I  have  had 
the  honour  to  be  head,  have  mcurr'd  the  same  guilt ;  and  those 
eminent  persons  which,  as  salt,  by  their  examples  ought  to  have 
•eason'd  the  whole  Diocess,  are  rendered  uncapable  to  reprove 
their  inferiours  and  reprehend  the  sins  of  the  times. 

Alas !  if  resistance  of  the  higher  powers  be,  by  some  modem 
Bitines  and  distinctions,  refin'd  into  a  vertue,  is  perjury  no  sin  ? 
If  the  sacred  authority  of  our  earthly  god  (the  stile  in  Scripture 
allowed  to  a  lawfull  Soveraign  f)  be  fain  into  such  deplorable

LETTER  TO  THE   VICE-DEAN,   &C.    OF   DURHAM.  113 

lastf  fisiat  a  sleep :  and  what  will  become  then  of  our  religion, 
libeiiyes,  and  lawes,  it  will  be  easy  enough  to  divine. 

Ofortunatos  nimium,  bona  si  sua  norint,  8fc. 

The  review  of  our  past  felicity,  those  very  blessings  we  en- 
joyed, and  sadly  overlook'd,  during  the  reigfi  of  our  present 
ooveraigne,  must  needs  greivously  torment  our  hearts,  and  give 
us  occasion  of  pining  away  with  just  vexation  and  anger  at  our 
selves :  since  it  is  not  possible  now  for  us,  in  all  humane  appre- 
Iiension,  to  swim  back  to  such  our  (sottishly  neglected  and  lost) 
happiness,  but  through  that  sea  of  blood  which  tyrants  and 
Qsorpers  comonly  shed,  in  prosecuteing  and  accomplishing  their 
Machiavellian  designes,  and  it  is  matter  of  noe  small  moment 
for  men,  especially  churchmen,  to  examine,  throughly  and  im- 
partially, how  much  of  the  guilt  will  lye  at  their  owne  doores, 
as  a  great  measure  thereof  must,  it  is  without  all  dispute,  rest 
at  the  door  of  every  one  who  hath  knowingly  and  wilfully  con- 
tributed to  the  fall  and  banishment  of  his  lawfull  Prince,  where- 
by he  is  putt  under  a  necessity,  out  of  justice  to  his  son,  to  re- 
cover his  owne  by  the  sword,  which  by  force  and  violence,  as 
well  as  the  abhorr'd  treachery  of  his  owne  subjects,  were  taken 
aooL  him. 

And  I  doe  beseech  you  to  be  assured,  that  in  now  recommend- 
ing to  you  (whom  God  hath  plac'd  under  my  authority)  soe 
seasonable  and  necessary  a  task  as  this  sort  of  selfe  examina- 
tion, I  doe  manifest  that  I  am  (as  I  have  done  often  in  other 
matters)  your  faithfull  friend,  as  well  as 


Aug.  15,  1689. 


Your  affectionate  brother, 
Denis  Granville. 


TO  THE  CLERGY 
OF  THE  Archdeaconry  of  Durham. 

Reverend  Brethren, 

AifOKG  the  many  applications  which,  upon  my  withdrawing 
and  leaveing  the  nation,  I  have  been  obliged  out  of  common 
deeencv,  as  well  as  good  conscience,  (considering  the  publick- 
0688  of  my  circumstances)  to  make  to  mv  relations,  naturall  and 
^nrituall,  I  might  without  censure  or  blame,  omitt  all  laborious

LETTEK  TO  THE   CLERGY  OF  DURHAM.  115 

pion  of  the  old  orthodox  Church  of  England  as  had  happily 
reviv'd  good  order  and  conformity  to  the  Church's  rules  among 
them. 

But  since  wee  find,  by  sad  experience,  that  it  is  soe,  and  that 
even  the  very  leaders  have  apostatized  from  their  duty  to  God 
and  the  King,  it  become  me  (who  dare  not  follow  their  example) 
to  doe  all  that  I  can  to  prevent  the  people  of  my  Archdeaconry 
from  being  seduced  thereby. 

You  know  I  have  laboured  faithfidly,  and  with  zeal  more 
than  ordinary,  to  assert  the  King's  cause,  from  the  year  1678 
(through  all  the  combustions  occasioned  by  an  infamous  im- 
postor) home  to  the  Dutch  invasion,  and-  at  that  very  time, 
even  on  the  15  of  Nov.  1688,  brought  all  the  wholesom  advice 
which  I  had  given,  at  severall  Visitations,  to  your  view  in  one 
address,  (as  before  mentioned)  which  I  have  printed  for  your 
&rther  edification,  and  my  owne  lustification :  and,  in  the  next 
place,  I  knew  of  nothing  better  that  I  could  doe  than  to  preach 
to  you  by  my  example,  in  leaving  my  station  and  my  revenue, 
(when  I  could  not  be  permitted  longer  to  discharge  a  good  con- 
science) rather  than  mvolve  my  selfe  in  the  guilt  of  an  usurpa- 
tion ;  which  act  of  mine,  how  greatly  soever  it  may  have  been 
censured,  I  esteem  as  the  best  sermon  I  ever  preach'd  in  my 
life,  the  reflection  on  which  affords  much  comfort  to  my  soule, 
rince  thereby  I  clear'd  my  selfe  from  the  guilt  of  renouncing  my 
allegiance,  as  the  generality  have  done,  which  will  provft  an 
eternal  blot  to  the  nation,  not  excepting  the  Clergy  of  the 
Church  of  England. 

'Tis  too  late  now  to  give  you  cautions  against  perjury,  or  to 
set  before  your  eyes  how  much  more  heinous  it  is  in  a  priest 
than  in  a  layman,  because  the  greatest  part  of  you  already  have 
swallowed  a  new  oath  to  an  usurper :  and  to  inform  you  in  the 
obUgation  that  lyes  on  you  to  repent  of,  rather  than  to  keep, 
the  oath  you  have  taken,  is  to  conclude  you  (what  I  ought  not 
to  do)  not  only  bad  Christians,  but  very  weak  Divines. 

There  is  noe  man,  that  understands  any  thing  of  religion, 
bat  knows  that  a  rash  oath  only  obliges  to  repentance,  whereof 
that  there  might  be  some  meet  and  worthy  fruits  brought  forth 
among  the  Clergy  of  my  Jurisdiction,  would  prove  to  me  great 
mater  of  consolation ;  and  if  it  were  done  very  speedily,  it  would 
be  a  very  great  extenuation  of  their  crime,  and  adSbrd  good 
ground  to  hope  they  were  overborne  with  the  boisterousness  of  a 
violent  storme,  rather  than  did  wilfully  plunge  themselves  in 
8oe  horrid  a  guilt. 

Let  not  the  fear  of  loosing  your  possesions  (which  I  thank 
God  has  not  prevailed  on  me)  tempt  you  to  lye  one  moment

LETTBR  TO  THE  dJSBGY   OF   DURHAM.  117 

opportunityes    of    makeing    satisfaction    for    your    egregious 
apoetacy. 

I  shall  therefor,  rather  than  prescribe  the  means,  mind  you 
of  your  indispensable   obligation  to  doe  the  thing,  and   soe 
redeem  your  honour,  and  redress  the  scandal  you  have  given,  to 
the  increase  of  your  own  sin,  and  the  unspeakable  greif  of  my 
aool,  who  did  faithfully  labour  to  make  every  one  committed  to 
my  charge  such  as  God  hath  given  me  grace  to  approve  my 
adfe.  even  an  unalterable  loyall  subject  to  King  James  the 
Kcond,  as  well  as  soe  legitimate  a  son  of  the  Church  of  Eng- 
land, as  can  never  be  perswaded  that  it  can  be  for  her  interest 
to  contradict  her  doctrine,  which,  as  I  have  hitherto  profest, 
and  held  fast  among  all  the  blasts  of  temptation,  (from  what- 
ever  point  of  the  compass  they  have  blowne)  I  am  resolved,  by 
tlie  divine  assistance,  to  practice  unto  the  end,  in  spight  of  the 
inost  prevalent  examples  or  malicious  censures  used  now  as 
argaements  or  engines  to  overthrow  me. 

That  such  a  generall  neglect  of  church  order  among  the 
Clergy  through  the  nation  (as  I  long  and  loudly  complain'd  of 
and  wam'd  you  against)  shou'd  be  attended  on  oy  soe  fatall  an 
ianie  as  an  universall  defection,  should  not  be  a  thing  perfectly 
aew  to  you,  to  whom  I  address  my  selfe,  since  you  your  selves 
can  be  my  witnesses  that  I  have  often  faithfully  foretold,  that 
an  aniversall  semi-conformity  would  end  in  as  universall  semi- 
allegiance,  and  would  God  we  had  not  foiind  by  lamentable 
e^)mence  that  itt  had  done  much  more,  by  produceing  that 
degenerate  o&pring  who  have  not  onely  imbrued  their  nands 
in  ape  horrid  a  crime  as  the  dethroning  their  lawfull  Soveraign, 
tnt,  like  vipers,  have  in  a  manner  eaten  out  their  very  Mother's 
Wells. 

I  do  not  doubt  but  that  Almighty  God  hath  by  this  time 
bitmght  to  your  memory  some  of  those  seasonable  cautions  and 
mementos  which  I  have  plainly  laid  before  you  in  the  publick 
discharge  of  my  archidiaconall  office,  with  some  greater  force 
and  effect  on  your  spirits  than  they  had  at  their  first  delivery. 
I  cannot  havp  such  prejudiciall  thoughts  of  you  as  to  imagine 
otherwise,  since  Divine  Providence  often  lead  me  to  such  suit- 
able topicks  as  might  have  prevented,  by  God's  blessing,  (had 
.  they  been  generally  insisted  on  by  all  those  who  had  eccle- 
aiasticall  jurisdiction,  and  not  been  rejected  by  the  people)  much 
<^OQr  present  misery :  the  ill  effects  of  which  are  like  to  be  felt 
by  the  succeeding  generation,  tho'  wee  shou'd  be  bles'd  to- 
morrow with  such  undeserv'd  felicity  as  all   good  Christians 
long  for,  .1  mean  the  speedy  Eestauration  of  our  Soveraign, 
nJigion,  libertyes,  and  laws.     If  any  of  my  brethren  prove  not

judgement  of  my  enemies,  that  is  to  say,  of  the  compliers  with 
the  usurpation  in  Enghmd.     But  if  any  of  them,  or  others,  twit 
me  with  sinralarity  at  this  time,  I  shall  be  the  less  surpriz'd 
therewith,  since  the  non-complyance  of  the  Clergy  under  my 
ftuthority  in  that  strict  order  and   conformity  wnich  I  ever 
thought  my  selfe  obliged  to  practice,  (and  did  observe,  I  thank 
Ood,  in  such  a  degree,  as  to  evince  the  practicableness  of  those 
dutyee,  which  some  men's  sloth  represented  impossible)  hath 
Tendered  me  soe,  for  near  30  years  together.     And  that  I  have 
been  so,  I  mean,  not  discourag'd  to  keep  up  as  close  as  I  could 
to  the  Churches  rules,   (tho*  I  have  wanted  the  example  and 
company  of  any  right  and  thorough  pased  conformist  since  the 
deootae  of  my  ever  honoured  brother  Archdeacon  Basire)  is  at 
tliig  juncture  noe  discomfort  to  me.     For  if  God  had  not  en- 
dowed me  with  grace  and  resolution  to  have  performed  my  duty 
in  a  time  of  peace  and  quiet,  I  should  never  have  been  able  to 
doe  it  in  a  time  of  trouble,  and  to  withstand  that  rageing  tor- 
rent which  hath  over  flowne  our  Church  and  State. 


A  LETTER 

to  uk,  james  hope,  curate  of  the  parrish  of  easington, 
and  mr.  wm.  kingford,  cural'e  of  the  parrish  of 
shwefteld,  in  the  bishoprick  of  durham,  substituted 
by  dr.  granville  to  serve  the  aforsaid  cures. 

Brethren, 

Amidst  all  the  mortifications  and  exercises  of  patience  which 
haye  been  occasioned  to  me  by  the  late  revolution  of  affairs  in 
Church  and  State,  and  more  perticularly  by  the  defection  of  the 
Clergy  of  my  own  Jurisdiction,  nothing  has  created  soe  much 
disquiet,  and  so  lasting  a  disturbance  to  my  mind,  as  that  there 
flhoold  happen  any  scandalous  failure  in  either  of  you,  my  more 
pecroliar  deputyes,  and  fellow  labourers  in  the  GosdcU  of  Christ. 
Tho'  the  members  of  that  community  whereof  I  am  head.

LETTER  TO   HIS  CURATES,   &C.  121 

kbisdom,  without  sore  indignation;  nor  cease  to  charge  the 
gxnlt  of  ace  neat  a  sin  upon  you  my  representative  in  my  par- 
rish  of  Sedgneld«  (to  whom  I  now  singly  speak)  who  have  com- 
mitted the  same  with  many  high  aggravations,  as  the  following 
perticulars  will  make  appear. 

First,  you  being  a  person  that  was  happily  trained  up,  not 
onely  in  a  (hitherto  ever)  loyall  county  *,  and  more  perticularly 
in  a  parrishf  where  there  had  been  much  seed  sowne  which 
ought  to  have  brought  forth  other  grain ;  but  under  a  family  J 
whose  loyalty,  till  the  fatall  moneth  of  Nov.  1688,  was  never 
blenush'd  with  the  lest  stame. 

In  the  next  place,  after  a  loyall  education  in  the  University, 
and  the  happiness  to  escape,  by  God's  blessing,  those  dangerous 
locks  on  which  youth  there  most  comonly  splitt,  (to  wit,  cor- 
ruption in  principles  or  moralls)  were  seasonably  transplanted 
into  the  Curacy  of  a  very  considerable  parrish  in  Worcestershire, 
where  the  Rector  kept  up  exactly  to  the  order  of  the  Church  of 
Eaffland,  the  strict  practice  whereof  (however  things  have  falne 
art)  was  the  most  likely  means  to  have  kept  clergymen  steddy, 
in  nich  a  day  of  tryall  and  temptation  as  our  present  miserable 
generation  have  liVd  to  see. 

Thirdly,  were  with  much  affection  and  honest  intention, 
nngl'd  out  and  pitcht  on  by  me  (I  haveing  a  great  oppinion  of 
yoor  loyalty)  to  be  my  coadjutour,  in  one  of  the  most  consider- 
»Me  country  parrishes  §  of  England,  the  burthen  of  which  trust, 
M  well  as  my  great  conceme  for  the  spirituall  welfare  of  that 
my  flock,  you  ought  to  have  leam'd  from  the  extraordinary 
kbIoub  applications  which  I  us'd,  at  first,  to  sett  you,  and,  all 
Jong  after,  to  keep  you,  right  in  my  honest  perticular  notions 
of  obedience  to  the  orders  of  the  Church,  and  of  subjection  to 
all  sorts  of  lawfull  authority.  Which  notions  I  am  not  ashamed 
now  to  stile  perticular,  since  the  issue  of  things  proclaims  them 
to  be  right,  as  well  as  the  opposers  of  them  notoriously  in  the 
wrong,  and  must  be  soe  acknowledged  by  all  persons  who  are 
not  unhappily  besmear'd  with  the  present  (religious)  rebellion 
of  England,  or  blinded  by  the  mist  or  fumes  of  an  unsupportable 
nsarpation. 

Lasdy,  had  more  reason  than  others  to  have  resisted  those 
temptations  which  overthrew  the  generality  of  the  Clergy  of 
the  Diocess,  since  you  had,  in  one  person,  your  Rector's,  Dean's, 
ind  Archdeacon's  continuall  example  in  your  eye,  to  the  very 
last  minute  to  uphold  you,  moreover  had  a  pathetick  letter 
written  joyntly  to  your  selfe  and  brother,  (directed  to  the  Curates

LETTER  TO   HIS  CURATES,   &C.  123 

safTering  yoa  to  want  bread  so  long  as  I  had  it,  which  yee  had 
noe  reason  to  suspect  that  God's  providence  and  a  gracious 
Master's  kindness  wou'd  deny  me  in  the  deepest  adversity 
abroad. 

I  am  sure  that  yee  two,  who  have  not  been  onely  long  resident 
in  my  house  and  family,  but  often  admitted  into  my  closet,  and 
tometimes  into  my  very  bosome,  ought  to  have  conceived  such 
an  oppinion,  and  should  have  taken  it  for  granted,  by  great  ex- 
perience of  me,  without  any  further  declaration.  Tho'  you  had 
not  such  perticular  and  positive  assurances  thereof  as  I  season- 
ably gave  a  certain  Divine,  (I  much  valued)  to  deliver  him  out 
of  those  temptations  whereinto  hee  (being  unhappily  metamor- 
phosed in  another  region)  did  however  willfully  run  himselfe, 
to  the  injury  of  his  conscience  and  dishonour  of  him  selfe  and 
friends. 

You  therefor,  (my  lapsed  assistant)  whom  I  had  drawne 
away  from  my  native  soile,  (hopeing  that  as  you  have  breathed 
the  same  air  you  would  alwayes  profess  the  same  principles)  to 
be  my  comfort  and  support,  in  a  remote  part  of  the  nation,  for 
the  remainder  of  my  life,  doe  strangely  dissappoint  my  hopes, 
[and]  are  soe  much  the  more  blameworthy  since  6od  Al- 
mighty did  assist  me  (poor  weak  and  unworthy  labourer  in  his 
▼ineyard)  with  such  a  happy  foresight  of  matters  relateing  to 
the  late  unfortunate  change  in  government,  that  I  was  instrue- 
mentall  in  the  bringing  to  the  view  of  all  those  who  [leers'] 
related  to  me,  such  a  prospect  of  the  things,  (which  did  att  that 
time  portend  ill,  as  well  as  future  miseryes)  as  might  render 
a  person  stupid  who  shou'd  despise  or  neglect  them. 

Tour  fellow  labourer,  who  has  done  his  part  faithfully  to  dis- 
charge his  trust  in  a  criticall  juncture,  (and  thereby  has  help'd 
to  save  the  honour  of  the  young  Clergy  under  my  conduct)  will 
be  willing,  I  know,  to  bear  testimony  that  I  did  to  my  utmost 
diligently  discharge  the  part  of  a  faithfull  watchman,  penning 
downe  my  thoughts  almost  dayly  (using  him  sometimes  for  an 
amanuensis)  to  fortify  all  persons  under  my  care  against  the 
dangerous  invieglements  of  ill  men,  and  the  plausible,  rather 
dian  reall,  arguements  of  good  men,  who  have  by  their  reputa- 
tion contributed  more  to  the  present  sad  state  of  things  (I  must 
take  the  liberty  to  tell  them)  than  the  more  malicious  sinners 
that  did  originally  designe  to  trample  on  the  Crowne  and 
Mitre. 

And  that  I  was  noe  bad  prognosticator  in  the  moneth  of 
August  16b8,  you  your  selfe,  and  every  body  else,!may  without 
all  contradiction  be  convinced,  by  a  coppy  of  a  paper  which  I 
penn'd  att  Durham,  the  27th  of  the  aforsaid  moneth,  according

LETTER  TO   HIS   CURATES,   &C.  125 

looser  leave  to  speak,  and  desire  them  to  remember  and  consider 
that  the  Apostle  S.  Paul  himselfe  was  compelled  to  boast,  in  a 
less  day  of  temptation  than  the  5th  of  Nov.  1688,  which  did  in 
a  manner  blow  up  the  foundation  of  three  Kingdoms. 

I  confess  that  I  doe  glory  with  the  B.  Appostle,  but  it  is  as 
he  did,  in  my  weakness,  and  the  grace  that  Almighty  God  has 
manifested  therein,  carrying  me  through  the  manifold  tempta- 
tiona  which  have  prevailed  over  my  stronger  brethren :  I  doe 
Uess  and  praise  Uod's  Holy  Name,  and  will  doe  it,  by  his  as- 
sifltance,  for  ever  and  ever,  that  he  did  endow  me  with  resolu- 
tion to  stick  close  to  all  the  Churches  rules  and  orders,  (whereto 
I  save  my  assent  and  consent,  at  my  first  enterance  into  the 
mmisteriall  fimction  in  the  year  1661)  without  governing  my 
Bdfe  by  example  of  any  Clergy,  hiffh  or  low,  in  the  citty  or  in 
the  country,  Iiveing  by  the  example  of  those  who  contradicted 
their  excellent  rule,  being  a  sort  of  complaisance  which,  I  bless 
God's  Holy  Name,  I  have  never  been  guilty  of,  tho'  it  has  been, 
God  knowes,  too  frequent  among  my  brethren,  and  proved 
fctall  to  the  poor  Church  of  England. 

To  take  noe  comfort  and  satisfaction  in  my  own  innocency, 
(which  God  has  in  a  manner  miraculously  preserved  when  he 
has  suffer'd  such  a  multitude  of  abler  divines  to  faile,  who  were 
furnished  with  greater  qualifications  to  have  borne  witnes  to 
his  truth)  I  should  look  luponl  as  an  act  of  meanness  of  spirit, 
BSTOuring  more  of  spirituall  ingratitude  than  true  himiility,  who 
Awre  rather  to  be  really  thankfuU  and  humble  than  to  appear 
ather. 

Lett  my  censurers  be  contented  with  my  revenue,  which  I 
have  left  to  their  mercy,  (choosing  to  doe  soe  rather  than  betray 
my  conscience)  without  depriving  me  of  that  precious  ointment 
and  more  valuable  treasure,  a  good  name,  which  I  shall,  in  spite 
of  all  my  enemyes,  endeavour,  by  the  aid  of  God's  Holy  Spirit 
to  secure  my  title  to,  in  approving  my  selfe  to  the  very  end,  as 
I  have  hitherto  as  much  as  in  me  lay,  a  genuine  son  of  the 
Church  and  loyall  subject  to  the  Crown  of  England. 

If  the  present  generation,  who  favour  none  with  their  good 
(pinion  but  those  who  concurr  to  the  support  of  the  present 
ttbrick  in  England,  will  not  allow  me  the  aforsaid  satisfaction, 
bat  load  me  with  obloquy  or  contempt,  (and  one  of  these  fates  I 
expect  from  the  north,  where  so  few  have  followed  my  example) 
there  remains  yet  one  thing  that  I  am  sure  they  are  not  able  to 
deprive  me  of,  I  mean  the  internal  peace  and  quiet  of  my  con- 
science which  I  have  enjoved,  since  I  was  driven  from  my 
tetion,  (to  heaven's  etemall  praise  1  speak  it)  in  a  more  plenti- 
fbll  measure  than  ever  I  did  heretofore,  when  I  was  in  the

LETTER  TO   HIS  CURATES,    &C.  127 

You  then  (to  conclude)  who  have  continued  faithfull  in  your 
trufltB  and  discharged  your  conscience*,  I  doe  (as  the  best  re- 
ward you  can  for  a  whUe  expect)  praise  and  pray  for,  earnestly 
beseeching  God  to  strengthen  you  dayly,  and  to  carry  you 
through  the  remaining  difficultyes  you  shall  meet  withaU,  and 
must  blame  (tho'  I  pitty)  you  that  are  fallen,  conjureing  you  to 
reflect  on  what  you  have  done,  and  desireing  you  to  be  assur'd 
that  I  can  never  have  any  complacency  in  your  services  till  you 
bring  forth  undeniable  fruits  of  repentance.  Hopeing  that  my 
censures  of  one,  as  well  as  praises  of  the  other,  will  have  that 
kindly  operation  on  your  eoules  which  I  designe,  I  doe,  with 
much  Christian  charity  and  compassion,  subscribe  my  selfe 


Your  very  loving  brother  in  Christ  Jesus, 
Denis  Granville.

penn'd  at  Durham  by  the  authour,  Aug.  27,  1688,  by  way  of

1.  An  universall  aptitude  in  men  to  receive,  multiply,  and 
XDagnify  fears  and  jealousyes  of  the  King. 

2.  The  generality  of  the  subjects  of  England  (contrary  to  the 
rule  of  charity)  putting  the  worst  construction  on  the  designs 
and  actings  o^  their  Sovereign. 

3.  Men's  discovering  by  their  preposterous  courses  (tho'  they

ing  method  himselfe,  when  present,  and  imposing  it  on  his 
Curates,  when  he  was  absent,  to  be  by  them  also  used  in  his 
parishes:  or  for  other  such  like  unfashionable  observation  of 
the  Churche's  rules,  and  performance  of  his  duty.    Which,  upon 
strict  enquiry  into  the  authour's  discharge  of  his  offices,  (since 
his  first  settlement  in  the  north  of  England,)  will  be  found  to 
be  true;  and  may  serve  to  evince,  that  as  hee  hath  had  the 
hard  fate  to  be  deposed,   for   following  his  Soveraigne  into 
France,  and  sticking  to  the  Crowne ;  so  nath  hee  had  as  hard  a 
£Eite,  heretofore,   for  cleaving  to  his  Mother,  (and  regarding, 
more  than  others,  the  precepts  of  the  Church)  even  to  be  often- 
times  unjustly  opposed,   and    sometimes    reproached   by    his 
brethren  (citty  and  country  Clergy)  merely  for  over  doing  it,  as 
they  have  usually  term'd  it.     That  is,  in  plaine  English,  be- 
cause his.  conscience  would  not  give  him  leave  to  omit  those 
duties,  •  which  they,  and  the  generality  of  the  Clergy  in  the 
nation,  (I  will,  and  may,  now  take  more  liberty  than  ever  to 
speak  out)  have,  to  their  everlasting  shame,  scandalously  neg- 
lected.    And  by  the  neglect  whereof  (in  a  word)  have  betraySi 
ibeir  Mother  the  Church  of  England,  the  Head  of  Reformed 
Christendom;   a  very  odd  kind  of  way  to  accomplish,  what 
people  pretend,  the  support  of  the  Protestant  Religion.] 


Directions  which  Dr.  Granville,  Archdeacon  of  Durham, 
Rector  of  Sedgefield  and  Easington,  enjoyns  to  be 
observed  by  the  curates  of  those  his  farrishes,  given 
TO  them  in  charge  at  Easter  Visitation,  held  ati 
Sedgefield  in  the  tear  1669. 

That  the  Mattens  and  Evensong  shall  be  (according  to  the 
nibrick)  said  dayly,  in  the  chancells  of  each  his  parrlsh 
ckorches,  throughout  the  year,  without  the  lest  variation. 

That  the  houres  for  dayly  prayer  on  working  dayes  shall  be 
ox  in  the  morning,  and  six  in  the  evening,  as  the  most  con- 
venient for  labourers  and  men  of  busyness. 

Except  asfollotceth  : 

On  all  vigills  and  holyday  eves,  as  alsoe  on  all  Saturday 
Afternoons,  (which  anciently  were  halfe  holydays)  three  of  the 
dock  shall  be  the  hour  for  Evening  Prayer.

DIRECTIONS  TO   HIS  CURATES.  131 

Ember  weekes.  Passion  week,  or  perambulation  or  Rogation 
dayesy  or  other  times  extraordinary,  he  shall  come  downe  to  the 
desk,  (after  the  Nieene  creed)  and  doe  it  in  a  more  solemne 
manner  than  when  he  bidds  the  ordinary  holydayes  at  the 
table,  makeing  a  short  speech  de  tempore  to  quicken  the  people's 
devotion. 

That  on  Advent  Sunday,  and  Quinquagesima  Sunday,  he 
shall  doe  the  like,  to  prepare  the  people  for  the  devotion  of  the 
f(dlowing  holy  seasons. 

That  besides  the  severall  Sacraments  at  Christmas,  Easter 
day.  Holy  Thursday,  and  Pentecost,  there  shall  be  at  lest  five* 
other  Sacraments :  which  Sacraments  shall  be  administered  on 
the  severall  dayes  here  nominated,  viz.  on  New- Year's  day,  on 
the  first  Sunday  in  Lent,  on  the  first  Sundays  in  July,  October, 
and  November. 

That  Easter  shall  be  the  time  alwayes  for  the  admission  of 
youth  first  at  the  Communion,  who  are  never  to  be  admitted  till 
they  have  repair'd  upon  summons  to  the  Minister,  to  receive 
|Hrivate  instruction,  on  Wednesday  and  Fryday  mornings,  after 
service,  during  Lent. 

That  the  young  people  be»confinn'd,  after  due  instruction, 
before  they  receive,  if  possible ;  but  when  that  cannot  be  con- 
trived by  reason  of  the  Bishop's  absence  or  otherwise,  that  they 
and  their  friends  be  enjoyn'd  faithfully  to  send  them  to  the 
first  confirmation  whereof  they  shall  have  notice. 

That  none  shall  be  admitted  to  the  Sacrament  till  16  years  of 
age,  unless  the  Minister  shall  see  extraordinary  cause  for  the 
same. 

That  the  39  Articles  and  canons  be  read,  according  to  in- 
jmiction.  *That  the  canou  about  excommunication  be  read, 
and  excommunicates  be  denounced,  according  to  the  said 
canon. 

That  his  Majestyes  Directions  to  Preachers  be  read  in  the 
congregation,  at  lest  once  in  the  year,  which  I  by  mine  owne 
anthority  take  upon  me  to  enjojTie  as  Ordinary  of  the  place. 

That  when  Citations,  Excommunications,  or  Absolutions,  are 
read,  the  Curate  shall  consider  whether  he  may,  by  any  occa- 
sional reflection  out  of  the  desk,  or  from  the  pUlpitt,  improve 
the  same  to  the  people,  to  the  deterring  of  them  frpm  the  like

Bsoally  sung)  and  that  he  shall  zealously  (but  mildly)  stir  upp 
the  people  to  the  better  observation  of  the  same :  and  that  when 
he  cuflooyers  these  public  admonitions  ineffectual!,  that  he  make 
it  part  of  his  labour  in  private,  with  personall  applications,  to  re- 
fonne  such  irregularityes ;  and  that  ne  shall  frequently,  as  hee 
can,  (when  presentations  are  to  be  made)  make  such  applica- 
tkms,  publick  and  private,  (as  shall  appear  most  convenient)  to 
the  offenders,  in  order  to  the  prevention  of  their  shame  and  ex- 
pence,  which  I  desire  alwayes  may  be  done  without  further  pro- 
flecation,  unless  the  thing  cannot  otherwise  be  reformed. 

That  such  discourses  as  he  makes  about  the  rubricks  and  con- 
stitntions  may  be  usually  out  of  the  desk,  or,  if  occasion  req\iires, 
in  the  pulpitt,  after  the  sermon  ;  which  I  would  not  have  bur- 
then'd  often  with  these  smaller  matters,  relateing  only  to  good 
order,  but  reserved  for  more  substantiall  and  essentiall  truths, 
as  die  doctrines  of  Faith,  Repentance,  Love,  Obedience,  Tem- 
perance, &c. 

That  lie  doth  not  take  notice  of  the  people's  breach  of  ru- 
bridm,  or  such  disorders,  in  publick,  when  he  can  reform  the 
Mme  easily  in  private ;  unless  they  are  notorious  and  scan- 
daloQs:  in  which  case  he  is  sometimes  to  give  perticular  per- 
sona even  publick  reproofs,  in  the  very  congregation. 

That  when  there  is  ground  of  suspition  tiiat  the  Church- 
wardens will  not  faithfidly  doe  their  dutyes  in  searching  the 
ale-houses,  &c.,  that  he  goe  out  of  the  church  sometimes  with 
them,  for  the  more  effectuall  prevention  of  disorders. 

Hat  he  cause  the  Clark  to  enq\iire  (when  notice  is  given  of 
B^)ti8me)  whether  the  witnesses  have  all  received  the  sacra- 
ment, and  alsoe  to  informe  the  Parson  (if  the  Churchwardens 
do  not)  when  any  excommunicated  persons  enter  the  church  or 
dinrchyard,  to  which  end  and  purpose  there  shall  be  a  list  kept

[Ih  reference  to  the  foregoing  Directions,  Letters  and  Discourses 
the  reader  is  desired  to  note  these  matters  following. 

First,  that  here  were  intermingled,  with  the  above  said 
Directions  for  the  Curates,  sundry  advices  for  the  Church- 
wardens and  Parish  Clarks,  not  judged  so  necessary  to  be 
printed.  These  being  sufficient  to  accomplish  the  forementioned 
end  of  their  printing,  (p.  124)  and  convince  those  Clergy  (and 
others)  who  would  not  allow  the  authour  tp  bee  worthy  of  his

CONCLUDING   OBSERVATIONS.  135 

world,  that  what  hee  writ  he  believed  to  be  such  truth  of  God, 
as  hee  did  dare  scale  with  his  bloud.  Which  desirable  peice  of 
charity  to  the  soules  of  the  poor  people,  who  were  unhappily 
drawn  into  perjury,  by  the  powerfull  example  of  their  leaders, 
the  anthour  hath  not  yet  discovered  to  be  done  by  any,  tho'  he 
thinks  ought  to  have  been  performed  long  ago,  (whatever  had 
been  the  issue)  to  have  given  right  measures  to  the  people  of 
the  land,  while  they  were  staggering,  and  not  quite  fallen  into 
the  abominable  sins  of  perjury,  and  renoimciuR  their  allegiance. 
Whidi  Christian  work,  if  it  had  been  acted,  in  due  season, 
would,  among  other  good  effects,  have  edified  also  the  Dean's 
flocks,  and  rendered  unnecessary  what  hee  hath  said  to  keep 
those  steddy  who  stand,  and  to  restore  those  who  are  fallen,  for 
want  of  timely  underpropping.  The  authour's  earnest  longing, 
and  waiting  with  great  impatience,  to  have  seen  such  desirable 
fruit  of  primitive  zeal,  did  detaine  him  awhile  from  plunging  him- 
selfe  over  head  and  ears  (though  hee  had  many  offers  so  to  do) 
into  that  deluge  which  did  overspred  the  land ;  thinking  him- 
selfe  a  bad  swimmer  in  such  troubled  waters,  and  moreover 
like  EUhu,  (Job  xxxii.  4.)  being  very  unwilling  to  speake  out 
thus  boldly,  and  shame  the  silence  of  his  elders,  till  hee  had 

E'ven  them  all  sufficient  opportunity  to  speak  and  write ;  tho' 
s  boldness  and  zeal  (as  may  be  observed  by  the  way,  and  is 
before  noted)  was  not  leveird,  directly,  to  any  but  those  under 
his  own  charge  and  care,  (or  nearly  related  to  him)  to  whom 
snck  a  hearty  application,  such  plain  reproofs,  even  in  the  very 
Iang:aafi;e  of  the  letters,  became  so  necessary,  that  hee  could  not 
in  good  conscience  have  wav'd  them.  And  therefore  he  con* 
oeives  that  people  have  ,the  lesse  reason  to  be  disturbed 
thereby. 

Thirdly,  after  the  authour  had  made  a  considerable  progress 
in  printing  the  Letters  and  other  Discourses,  he  was  forced  to 
iuu£ertake  a  hazardous  journey  into  England,  *Peb.  1689, 
(whereby  hee  got  a  small  supply  of  money  to  subsist  awhile 
abroad,  without  defiling  himselfe  with  an  oath  of  fidelity  to  the 
Prince  of  Orange)  tha  with  much  trouble  and  danger,  occa- 
sioned him  by  an  impertinent  and  malitious  postmaster,  who 
discovered  him  in  Canterbury.  Which  voyage  made  it  abso- 
Intely  necessary  to  lay  aside,  till  his  retume,  his  designe  of 
pdUishing  the  papers  he  had  penn'd  at  his  first  coming  over, 
unless  he  would  willftdlv  and  unavoidably  have  run  his  neck 
into  a  halter,  which  all  know,  was  the  fate  lately  of  a  right 
honest  and  loyall  man  *.

OONCXUDING    OBSKRVATIOXS  137 

frith  the  Tcry  doctrine,  tho'  they  would  not  allow  his  Majesty  in 
extraordinary  cases  a  less  dispensing  power :  thirdly  the  prag- 
maticallness  of  tho  most  Common- Lawyers  (whose  duty  and  in- 
terest it  was,  as  well  as  of  the  Ecelesiastieks,  to  j  03110  in  the 
support  of  the  crown  of  their  Soveraign,  the  fountaine  whence 
all  their  law  did  proceed)  in  endeavouring  industriously  by  all 
manner  of  quirks,  to  diminish  the  King's  prerogative  and  autho- 
rity, even  coining  wicked  distinctions,  and  raking  up  obsolete 
laws  to  dethrone  him,  (when  there  were  enough  of  such  which 
they  would  not  willingly  have  revived  against  the  people  or 
themselves)  nay  flying  to  the  reign  of  an  Usurper  for  acts  of 
Parliament  to  justify  and  colour  over  their  fullsome  proceed- 
ings; as  if  a  dispensing  power  in  tho  people  was  like  to  be 
found  more  tollerable  than  in  the  King,  or  that  such  a  kind  of 
eopremacy  as  the  multitude  contended  for,  (and  which  must  bo 
either  in  Prince  or  subject)  is  less  liable  to  tyranny,  and  other 
abases,  when  it  is  in  the  subject,  than  in  the  Soveraign. 

These,  and  the  like,  perversions  of  law  and  religion,  did 
cause,  the  authour  professeth  and  is  desirous  to  proclaimo,  so 
much  disgfust  in  his  soule,  as  hurried  him  over  all  the  difficulties 
and  dangers  that  he  met  with,  in  his  way  to  this  publication,  in 
soch  a  degree,  that  the  consideration  of  nis  book's  reflecting  on 
the  new  Government  (which  was  designed  to  edify  tho  people 
within  his  own  province)  hath  pushed  him  on,  instead  of  deter- 
rinf^  him,  to  send  it  forth  into  the  light,  (committing  it  and  his 
reputation  to  the  mercy  of  a  ffratious  God)  amidst  a  crooked  and 
perrerse  generation,  which  nee  is  willing  should  leame  thus 
much  by  his  boldness,  (or  fool-hardiness  as  it  will  be  iK)8sibly 
termed)  to  wit,  that  God  hath  given  him  (among  a  multitude  of 
infirmities)  the  grace  not  to  be  afraid  or  ashamed  to  do  his  duty 
or  discharge  his  offices  faithfully,  whoever  may  be  rebuked  by 
the  doings  thereof;  and  that  hee  is  sure,  hee  had  done  neither, 
if  he  had  not,  as  hee  hath  done,  deliver'd  his  soule  without 
flixncing,  in  such  plaine  and  intelligible  language,  at  such  a 
JBDCture,  as  to  allot  everj'thing  its  right  epithet  and  appella- 
tion; giving  the  verv  names  of  Rebellion   and   Usurpation  to 
what  hee  was  perswaded  in  his  conscience  deserv'd  such  deno- 
fliinationa ;  ana  that  are  so,  (even  rebellion  and  usurpation)  if 
ffw  there  were  such  things  in  the  world.     Yea,  such  a  llc- 
faeOicm  and  Usurpation,  that  no  good  Christian  can,  hee  is  also 
Mtiified  in  his  conscience,  joyne  in  the  first  or  uphold  the  later, 
md  consequently  that  no  body  can  receive  the  Commimion, 
vxthoQt  injniy  to  his  soule,  in  the  use  of  those  prayers,  which 
my  for  the  maintaining  of  both;  since  hee  that  receives  the 
bl^i^d  iSupper  ot  the  Lord,  in  the  office  of  any  Church,  sets  his

OONXXUDING   OBSERVATIONS.  139 

performance  it  selfe  of  deposing,  keeping  out,  and  extirpating, 
if  it  were  possible,  the  rightfull  owner,  and  his  posterity. 
Which,  to  be  done  by  the  people  that  pretend  to  retaine  in 
their  hearts  love  for  their  banisht  King,  the  authour  conceives 
no  better  than  a  mere  gally-moflBrv  of  religion.  And  that  if 
this  be  not  halting  betwixt  God  and  JBaal,  he  knows  not  what  is. 

But  what  talk,  noise,  and  disturbance,  these  positive  con- 
closionsy  contrary  to  the  genius,  and  current  of  the  times,  may 
occasion,  he  is  sufficiently  sensible ;  as  hee  also  is,  that  the  pre- 
vention of  men's  talk  would  be  too  dearly  purchased  bv  the 
loss  of  his  innocency.  The  Deane,  then,  would  have  all  re- 
member, that  hee  hath  already  declared,  that  the  thoughts  of 
mortality,  and  a  more  serious  preparation  than  ordinary  for  an 
other  world,  hath  incited  him  to  go  through  with  the  attempt 
in  hand,  to  the  perfect  imburthenning  of  his  conscience,  and 
that  he  dares  not  any  longer,  (in  such  perillous  times)  trifle 
with  God  and  his  some,  putting  off  a  work  of  so  high  import- 
ance from  day  to  day. 

Hee  is  not  apprehensive,  that  reproach,  or  opprobrious  words, 
will  create  any  disturbance  to  him  in  the  grave ;  but  comforts 
himselfe  that  an  act  of  virtue,  and  christian  charity  to  the  soules 
of  his  countrymen  and  fellow-subjects,  (as  he  believes  without 
any  doubt  this  to  be)  will  have  a  sweet  odour  and  edify  the 
livmg  when  he  is  in  the  dust ;  and  contribute  to  the  increase  of 
that  felicity  and  glory,  which  hee  hopes  to  attaine  by  the  assist- 
ance of  God's  grace  and  through  the  all  sufficient  merits  of  his 
Saviour  Jesus  Christ,  who  teaching  him  by  the  mouth  of  his 
Apostle,  in  the  New  Testament,  to  Iionour  (without  exceptions) 
hk  King,  as  well  as  feare  God;  as  the  Holy  Spirit  doth  in  the 
old,  that  he  must  not  run  with  a  multitude  to  do  evilL  And  being 
thus  taught  of  God,  he  is  (without  regard  to  humane 'policy, 
leam't  by  the  precepts  of  men)  firmly  resolved  (by  the  aid  of 
the  Holy  Ghost)  to  endeavour  to  persevere,  as  well  as  he  is  able 
in  unblemish'd  loyalty  to  his  prince;  and  by  the  uniforme 
practice  of  that  pure  and  imdefiled  religion,  which  hee  hath  ever 
profess'd,  to  keep  himselfe  unspotted  from  the  world :  being  as 
willing  to  sacrifice  his  reputation  and  life  as  hee  hath  his  pre- 
fennent,  to  maintaine  that  righteous  cause  he  suffers  for,  and 
for  the  common  good  and  true  spirituall  advantage  of  his 
Christian  brethren  and  fellow-subjects  (rightly  inform'd  or  de- 
hded)  in  the  three  Kingdoms.  For  whom  he  is  more  heartily 
ooncem'd  and  griev'd,  (considering  what  an  unsupportable  load 
of  guilt  and  misery  they  lye  under)  than  he  is  for  the  loss  of  his 
possession. 
Which  is  all  the  authour  hath  in  his  mind,  at  this  instant  to

BREACHES  OF  BUBBICKS  IN  THE  CATHEDRAL*. 

Ist  Having  only  a  monthly  Sacrament,  when  it  is  expressely 
injoyn'd  by  the  rubrick  to  have  one  at  lea#t  weekly. 
2ndl7.  '^^  omission  of  the  second  lesson,  and  sometimes  the 

Elms,  when  there  is  a  funeral,  and  taking  in  the  psalms  and 
on  for  that  office,  which  ought  to  be  us^  also,  without  the 
omusion  of  the  other. 

3dljr.  Using  part  of  the  Visitation  office  for  the  sick,  in  the 
Cathedral,  which  the  Church  only  designs  to  be  done  in  the 
sick  man*s  presence. 

4thly.  Baptizing  children  on  the  week-days  without  any 
necessity. 

Sthly.  Observing  a  Vigil  or  Fast,  and  using  a  collect  for  the 
feDowing  Festival,  when  the  Church  appoints  none. 

6tldy.  Observing  the  Vigil  on  Sunday,  when  the  Holiday 
fiJU  on  Mond^,  which  should  be  observ'd  tfn  Saturday. 

7thly.  The  Priest  that  officiates,  and  the  Sacrist,  ordering  the 
bread  and  wine,  for  consecration,  at  other  times  when  not  ap- 
pointed by  the  rubrick. 

Some  of  these  breaches  may  seem  to  be  but  of  small  moment, 
bat  vet  however  they  being  oreaches  of  our  rule  of  conformity, 
our  Conunon  Prayer-Booke,  to  which  we  all  give  our  imfeigned 
anent  and  consent,  must  needs  be  (as  I  am  sure  I  find  them)  of 
very  bad  consequence.  For  when  the  bounds  are  once  broken, 
and  such  breacn  authorised  by  the  Cathedral  Church,  (which 
should  give  law  to  the  whole  Diocese)  it  must  needs  give  a 
great  wound  to  the  uniformity  of  the  country. 

Some  other  omissions  and  irregularities,  which  I  conceive  worthy 
our  consideration^  in  order  to  the  rectifying  of  thetn.

BY  Bishop  Cosin  to  the  Dean  and  Prebendaries  of  the 
Cathedral  Church  of  Durham. 

JuLT  17,  1666  ♦. 

Ik  answer  to  your  lordship's  Articles  of  enquiry  exhibited  to 
the  Deane  and  Prebendaries  of  the  Cathedrall  Church  of  Dur- 
ham, 4c.,  July  17th,  1665 :  viz. 

To  the  1st,  concerning  the  fuU  number  of  those  persons  whoe 
are  to  be  susteined  in  the  Church :  the  2d,  3d,  and  4th,  con- 
ccmiiifi;  the  Deane :  the  5th  and  6th  concerning  the  Prebenda- 
ries: the  7th,  8th,  9th,  10th,  concerning  the  yearly  officers  of 
the  Church  among  the  Prebendaries :    the  11th,   12th,   13th, 
Mth,  15th,   16th,   17th,   18th,    19th,   concerning   the  Minor 
Canons,  Clerks,  Ministers,  and  other  officers  of  the  Quire :  the 
20th  concerning  Divine  offices :  the  21st,  22d,  23d,  24th,  25th,

fenses and  crimes  of  ecclesiastical  cognizance :  as  also  the  addi- 
tionall  Articles, — I  have  nothing  more  to  say  at  present  than

adfe  and  each  of  the  Prebendaries.

*  The  trtidee  of  inquiry  which  Bishop  Cosin  issued  on  his  Visitiktion  of  the  Catbe- 
ini  ta  1666  are  not  exUnt  in  Hunter's  Collection,  but  a  tolerably  accurate  idea  of 
tkflv  nature  may  be  derived  from  the  Bishop's  **  Comperts  and  considerations  "  npoo 
Hk  answers  given  in  by  the  Dean  and  Chapter,  in  their  corporate  capacity.  This 
rib— «tfiiitic  paper  will  be  found  in  the  Appendix ;  as  also  the  Visitation  Articles  of 
IfBS  and  1668,  and  a  curious  memorandum  of  Bishop  Cosin,  concerning  the  priti- 
kgm  oi  the  Church  of  Durham,  which  have  been  preserved  amongst  the  Hunter 
l&S.    They  are  documents  of  considerable  interest.

MISCELLANEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  147 

I  heartily  beg  your  prayers  in  reference  to  the  pulpitt,  and  in  a 
multitude  of  other  respects,  for  really,  Sir,  I  am  badly  treated, 
wherof  you  were  a  witnesse  yesterday.     It  was  harsh  language 
I  received  to  bee  accused  of  writing  untruthes  to  the  Bishop,  and 
of  being  quarrekotne.     As  for  the  first  lett  your  owne  children, 
my  brother  *  and  cosen  Basire  cleare  me.     I  never  writt  any 
thing  to  the  Bishop  but  they  have  seen  itt.     And  for  the  latter, 
it  is  the  injustest  calumny  in  the  world,  unlesse  I  was  quarrel- 
some in  asserting  the  honour  and  priviledges  of  the  Church  in 
the  buisnesse  of  my  latie  odious  arrest.     If  I  must  be  esteemed 
contentious  because  I  will  not  betray  the  priviledges  of  [the] 
Church  and  church  men,  I  will  continue  soe  (by  Gods  grace) 
whilst  I  breathe.     And  if  I  will  not  consent  to  have  a  slur  cast 
upon  my  very  good  lord  of  D[urham]  (to  whom  I  have  parti- 
cular obligations)  I  must  be'  accused  tor  seeking  an  occasion  of 
quarrel,  I  cannot  helpe  it ;  but  recommend  my  cause  to  God, 
whoe  knowes  the  integrity  of  my  heart  in  this  particular. 

Sir,  I  humbly  beg  your  countenance  and  favour  in  reference 
to  our  contests  in  the  Chapter.  I  will  never  maintaine  any 
•  cause  but  what  is  honest.  You  see  they  are  cruelly  sett  against 
mee,  and  soe  prejudiced,  that  I  cannot  have  credit  witn  the 
D[eaii]  in  anv  thinff  I  say ;  when  Mr.  Neile  f  and  Stapilton  J 
(and  some  others  of  the  same  latitude  of  conscience)  speake 
nothing  but  what  is  authentick.  Begging  (in  this  great  ex- 
epciae  of  my  patience)  your  prayers  and  benediction,  I  rest.  Sir, 
yonr  most  iaithfull  humble  servantt, 

D.  Grenville. 

To  tiie  Re?.  Mr.  Archdeacon  of  North- 
unberUndy  humbly  present  these. 

(hdorsed  **  Durham,  Nov.  7,  1674.    From  Mr.  Archdeacon  of  Durham :  L  The

ike  was  the  widow  of  Samuel  Dayison,  Esq.  Mr.  Basire  succeeded  his  step-son  John 
Ikvison  as  keeper  of  Frankland  Park  in  167. 

t  Grandson  oC  Richard  Neile,  Archbishop  of  York.  He  was  an  attomey-at-law, 
md  Umler-sberiff  of  the  County  of  Durham  by  patent.  He  was  engaged  in  Bishop 
Coiin's  serrioe  after  the  Restoration.  He  lost  his  place  of  Under-sheriff  for  his  share 
h  Dr.  Granville's  arrest,  as  already  mentioned  in  the  Introduction.  He  was  after- 
wards of  Pleasey  Hall,  co.  Northumb.  and  Sheriff  of  that  county  in  1687  and  1688; 
was  knighted  in  the  latter  year,  and  died  in  London,  March  3,  1692.  See  Snrtees'

I  Miles  Stapilton,  Esq.  Formerly  Secretary  to  Bishop  Cosin.  He,  as  well  as  Mr. 
Nd*,  was  mmmoned  before  the  Coundl  for  being  a  party  to  Dr.  GrannUe's  arrest.

MISCELlJiNEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  149 

servatioiL  If  this  comes  early  to  disturb  your  rest,  and  provoke 
Tou  to  a  like  devotion,  'tis  noe  more  than  my  coat  will  justifie, 
bemg  an  act  nether  unbecoming  the  Christian  nor  Divine.  And 
if  wee  doe  aU  in  our  several  stations  betake  ourselves  alitle  this 
morning  thereto,  it  will  be  noe  more  than  our  dutie  doth  oblige 
us  to ;  to  make  amends  for  the  unseasonable  vanity  and  airy- 
neeee  of  last  night.  The  man,  (not  to  say  the  master)  was  a 
litle  more  merry  than  iHsey  (it  must  bee  confessed)  considering 
the  then  threats  of  heaven,  and  both  peccant  in  spending  any 
part  of  6oe  sacred  a  day,  in  juvenile  and  light  divertisement, 
when  a  Letany  had  been  much  more  propper.  A  subitaned  et 
ttwprwMa  morUy  libera  nos  Domme.  1  will  leame  hereafter, 
what  ever  my  man  doth,  some*  of  your  last  night's  gravity, 
(which,  upon  serious  and  second  thoughts,  I  cannot  condenme) 
which  in  good  earnest,  as  this  time  proves,  (a  time  of  common 
calamity)  rebukes  the  Archdeacon,  with  his  Archidiaconall  (and 
EjriscopeJl)  servantt,  for  not  keeping  the  very  mirth,  where 
tney  are  present,  within  its  due  bounds,  when  either  of  them, 
by  their  present  circumstances,  have  particular  obligations 
tnereto.  Here  you  have  my  confession,  let  mee  have  your  ab- 
wJution,  as  you  have  my  praise.  And  I  doe  promise  you  that 
I  will  endeavour  to  keep  nereafter  my  selfe,  my  company,  and 
my  man,  from  any  such  irregularity  and  excesse,  which,  by  the 
mueasonablenesse,  (though  not  otherwise)  becomes  blameable. 
The  storme  continuing  thus  violent,  wee  must  expect  to  heare 
of  a  multitude  of  accidents  throughout  the  nation.  And  in 
good  earnest,  upon  reflection,  I  wonder  at  my  selfe  and  others, 
how  wee  can  (at  a  time  of  imminent  danger  to  ourselves  and  a 
multitude  of  our  brethren)  divert  ourselves  with  airy,  nay  apish, 
tridw  and  discourse,  when  there  is  a  call  from  Heaven,  if  not  to 
expresse  devotion,  yet  to  some  sober,  grave,  and  sapid  con- 
venation. 

Doe  not  wonder  to  find  mee  scared  into  a  second  sermon. 
He  danger  of  this  family  and  my  selfe,  hath  roused  up  all  the 
Htle  devotion  that  is  [m]  my  soule,  and  if  I  should  not  com- 
mmicate  some  part  of  it  to  my  friend,  I  should  bee  unkind  and 
imjimt  Wee  have  all,  that  have  been  exposed  to  this  west 
wind,  (as  the  houses  of  this  rowe  are)  layen  in  danger  of  [mr'] 
Kmes;  for  the  chamber  that  is  fallen  seem'd  to  us  as  strong  as 
any  standing,  and  was  not  only  the  repository  of  the  Bhr.'s 
dearest  jew^  (the  child)  but  the  place  of  their  winter  evening 
eoQversation.  And  after  such  a  breach  the  remaining  part 
(though  never  soe  strong  before)  can't  bee  perfectly  secure. 
Blessed  be  God  for  this  or  any  other  deliverance  voucnsafed  to 
mee,  or  any  other  of  his  poore  servantts,  and  make  us  all  (in

MISCELLAJNEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  151 

of  aoquainting  your  lordship  that  since  his  last  retume  into  the 
north  he  hath  acquitted  himselfe  of  all  his  undertakings,  both 
in  private  and  publicke  concernments,  with  so  great  prudence 
and  descreet  management,  that  I  doe  assure  your  lordship  he 
hath   absolutely  rectified  a   great  many  mistakes  and  wrong 
measures  which  were  made  of  him  and  his  actions.    Six  several! 
sermons  hee  preach'd  in  the  Cathedrall  in  six  monthes,  for  two 
whereof  hee  happened  to  be  very  signall;   the  one  was  the 
Assize-sermon,  which  hee  undertook  to  performe  at  two  houres 
warning,  and  did  it  .with  a  generall  applause :  the  other  hap- 
pened on  Sunday  last,  upon  a  failer  in  the  Bishop  of  Bristoll's 
tume  *,  when  four  of  our  prebends  were  present,  after  hee  had 
sent  about  a  verger  to  them  to  know  if  any  of  them  could  un- 
dertake that  sermon,  he  ventured  into  the  pulpit,  without  de- 
parting from  the  Church  till  hee  had  done  that  good  worke,  to 
our -great  surprize.     I  must  in  the  next  place  (craveing  your 
krd^p's  pardon  for  my  prolixity)  certify  you,  that  the  -Ajch- 
deacon  hath  far  enough  kept  himselfe  within  the  limits  pre- 
acribed  him  by  his  relations,  touching  his  revenues,  that  to  my 
biowledge  he  hath  received  but  150/.  of  his  new  salarv  for  three 
quarters  ending  at  Candlemass,  yet  hee  hath  out  of  this  sum 
returned  to  his  wife  within  six  monthes  neare  80/.,  and  payd  off 
80/.,  old  debts  designed  to  bee  discharged  out  of  the  other  re- 
venue.   I  should  not  have  given  your  lordship  the  trouble  of 
this  accountt,  but  that  I  cannot  want  so  much  good  nature  as  to 
neglect  an  occasion  to  doe  a  person  right  who  I  know  hath  cer- 
tainly been   severly  misrepresented  and  injured  without  any 
colourable  grounds,  even  by  some  of  his  bretnren,  who  dread  to 
see  him  grow  great  and  envy  him  for  it.     Thus  assuring  your 
lordship  that  I  shall  always  bee  devoted  to  the  service  of  your 
noble  family,  I  humbly  take  leave  to  rest,  my  Lord,  your  lord- 
•Up's  very  faithfull  and  most  humble  servant, 

Isaac  Basire. 

The  Archdeacon  wrote  a  letter  of  thanks  to  the  Bishop  by  the 
last  post. 

My  father  presents  your  lordship  with  his  humble  service.  I 
was  with  the  X)ean  f  last  night.    He  still  continues  ill,  but  most 

^  In  the  answer  of  Dr.  Basire,  Prebendary  of  the  7th  stall,  to  Bishop  Cosin's 
Taitition  Articles  in  1668,  amongst  other  suggestions  which  he  makes  with  reference 
to  the  Cathedral  Statutes,  is  the  following : — *'  Ad  cap,  sv.  de  concionibtUt  Sfc.  I

but  that  you  must  needs  play  the  old  foole,  is  it  not  enough  for 
Tou  to  play  the  sinner  among  those  whoe  you  have  already  (by 
your  ill  example)  made  bad,  (or  are  already  by  others  made  so 
to  your  hand,  a  province  possibly  large  enough)  but  that  you 
must  contribute  to  the  undoeing  of  such  whoe  are  as  yet  gotten 
but  halfe  way  to  hell,  and  whoe  may  be  recovered,  by  good  ex- 
amples and  faithfull  instructions,  if  they  have  the  good  luck  to 
escape  those  which  are  ill  ?  Nay,  (my  freind)  must  you  intrench 
on  my  Jurisdiction?  I  meane  pervert  such  as  I  professe  to 
take  more  peculiarly  into  my  charge.  Fye  upon  you ;  you  are 
an  unreasonable  man.     Sure  you  have  forgott  that  you  have 

Ey  hairs  under  your  perriwigg.  You  touch  my  copy-hold 
e,  (I  assure  you)  and  you  must  not  expect  to  escape  scotfree. 
I,  poore  man,  am  labouring  to  draw  an  honest  innocent  soule  or 
two  (or  at  least  not  altogether  defiled)  out  of  the  snare  of  [the'] 
divell,  and  Coll.  Bl.>  wonn't  let  mee.  Though  I  have  left  my 
Wforrf  and  belt,  (which  I  had  the  other  day  by  my  side  at  London) 
yet  I  carry  alwayes  with  mee  that  of  the  Spirit,  and  wherewith  I 
shall  sometime  or  other  (if  you  doe  not  avoid  these  boyish 
tricks)  mawle  you.  Doe  not  provoke  mee.  I  send  you  this 
paper  as  a  caution :  you  have  fair  play ;  the  next  time  I  dis- 
cover you  are  guilty  I  shall  quite  confoimd  you.  In  good  truth, 
my  honest  bondsman,  I  intend  henceforth  to  take  a  little  care  of 
your  Boule.  For  I  see  you  are  noe  good  keeper,  tho'  you  doe 
not  seem  to  understand  the  value  of  soe  great  a  treasure.  If 
you  did,  you  would  not  thus  squander  it  away.  Expect  there- 
fore henceforth  a  gentle  rebuke  sometimes,  when  such  mis- 
demeanors come  to  my  eares.  For  till  you  are  a  perfect  swine 
I  shall  not  cease  to  fling  my  pearles  before  you.  When  I  judge 
you  are  soe,  I  shall  leave  you  to  the  rest  of  the  herd,  and  not 
trouble  you  with  these  sollicitations ;  which  I  intend  as  a  vade 
fftecum  for  you  in  your  London  jomey.  Really,  (honest  Tro- 
jan) a  little  wholsom  councell  in  your  pockett  will  doe  you  no 
disservice.  For  if  you  can  play  the  debauched  here  in  your 
country,  in  your  owne  Bishopis  Castle,  among  your  owne  kindred, 
and  they  younger  men,  and  at  soe  umcasonahle  an  houre  as  one 
of  the  clock  at  night,  I  say,  if  you  can  sinne  here  thus,  with 
these  aggravations,  in  the  very  sight  of  the  sun,  (or  of  the 
moon  at  least)  I  may  shrewdly  suspect  you  to  play  odd  pranks 
•bove  (as  demurely  as  you  carry  it  in  the  presence  of  your  mis- 
tress) and  to  take  greater  liberty  there  where  you  will  not  meet 
with  such  interruptions  in  your  career  to  hell.  Farewell  good 
friend,  this  shall  suffice  for  the  present;  but  if  I  doe  againe 
discover  more  of  your  irregularities  I  professe  I  will  make  affi-

liberty  of  disturbing  you  with  an  impertinent  letter  sometimes, 
(thouffh  noe  great  affair  or  buisnesse  should  require)  to  keep 
my  sdfe  but  warme  in  your  lordship's  memory,  and  beg  a  bene- 
diction by  my  pen,  being  deprived,  at  this  distance,  of  any  more 
formall  addresse.     If  your  lordship  doe  not  finde  mee  an  honest 
fidthfull  (though  a  poor  and  inconsiderable)  humble  servant; 
and  a  true  hearty  lover  and  honourer  of  you,  lett  mee  bee  eter- 
nally branded  and  proclaimed  for  as  great  a  villaine  as  I,  or 
any  of  my  friends,  have  been  represented  by  my  enimies,  whose 
envy  and  malice  is  still  rampant  against  mee,  and  all  that  owne 
mee,  I  perceive ;  as  by  many  peevish,  indirect  meane  courses  they 
take  to  asperse  mee  and  those  that  love  mee,  is  apparent,  soe 
more  particularly  by  their  late  malitious  impudence  of  disturb- 
ing even  your  lordshipp  (as  I  heare)  with  a  notorious  untruth 
otmceming  my  brother  in  law,  (and  faithfull  champion  in  our 
late  contest)  Mr.  Isaack  Basire.     In  good  truth  (my  lord)  since 
these  spleenatick  people  have  defiled  your  lordship's  eares  with 
Buch  a  dirty  and  ridiculous  story,  I  shall  presume  to  take  awav 
their  imployment,  and  bee  your  informer  (but  a  more  faithfull 
one)  how  it  was.    You  may  bee  pleased  then  to  understand  (my 
lord)  that  his  Majestic  hath  a  notorious  sott  to  his  train-band 
caDtain  and  your  lordship  to  your  prothonotary,   pardon  my 
holdnesse,  called  Wright  *,  whoe  ha^^ng  gotten  his  noddle  as 
Mof  drinke  as  his  heart  with  folly  and  mallice,  (to  my  brother 
and  our  worthy  Chancellour  Ireland  f,  for  zealously  asserting  my 
caufle)  and  having  received  some  false  intelligence  from  his  cor- 
espondents Staputon  and  Neile,  concerning  our  hearing  before 
the  Kin^  and  uounsell,'  Tber  4th,  could  not  satisfy  him  selfe 
with  crymg  in  the  very  streets  that  his  patrons  where  come  oflF 
with  flying  colours,  but  rudely  and  impudently  thrust  himselfe 
in  to  their  chamber  to  aflfrontt  them,  and  hector  them  with  in- 
•dait  language  and  reproaches,  for  having  owned  mee  and  my 
odious  causes,  insomuch  that  after  some  civill  entreaties  to  de-

MISCELLANEOUS  OORJIESPONDENCE,   &C.  157 

My  lord,  my  case  is  shortly  thus:  the  office  of  Keeper  of 
Frankland  wood  hath  been  anciently  grantable  for  life,  and 
hath  been  granted  particidarly  in  the  family  wherein  I  am. 
placed  by  three  severall  patents  for  life,  to  Mr.  Davison  for  his 
life,  after  his  death  to  his  eldest  son  for  his  life,  and  since  his 
death,  and  my  intermarriage  with  the  late  Bishop  of  Durham's 
daughter,  (mother  to  the  son  deceased)  to  mee  for  my  life,  which 
I  obtained  from  the  King,  to  prevent  Mr.  Neil,  who  had  clan- 
destinely procured  his  Majestie's  warrant  for  the  depriveing  us 
of  it ;  since  which  time  I  have  built  up  a  new  house  at  my 
owne  charge,  (the  former  house  being  totally  ruined  to  the 

Eund)   for  the  better  preservation  of  the  wood  by  the  in- 
dtants  thereof.     At  your  lordship's  coming  into  the  country, 
you  will  find  by  the  severall  patents  which  I  have  ready  to 
produce  that  I  have  given  a  very  true  information  of  this 
matter. 
Craving  your  lordship's  pardon  and  benediction,  &c. 

(Indoned,  "  Coppj  of  Letter  to  my  Ld.  of  DnrhAm  touduDg  Frankland.'')

AOBBEMBI^   BETWEEN   Dr.  GrANVILLE  AND  Mr.  BlAXSTON. 

Feb.  28,  167|. 

Br.  Grenville  and  Mr.  Blaxston  then  agreed  that  Mr.  Blax- 
Bton  was  to  give  the  Dr.  518/.,  and  to  have  an  hundred  pound  a 
year  during  the  Dr.'s  life  for  it ;  and  to  have  an  hundred  and 
fifty  pounds  a  year  of  Dr.  Grenville's  estate,  made  over  by  lease 
to  him,  for  the  payment  of  100/.  and  that  Mr.  Blaxston  is  to  re- 
demise this  estate  to  Dr.  Grenville  or  his  assignes,  upon  a  reserve 
of  100/.  a  year  to  be  paid  out  of  it ;  and  there  is  this  provisoe ; 
that  Dr.  Grenville  hath  a  power  to  redeem  this  100/.  in  paying 
in  the  money  upon  3  months  warning;  the  time  to  comence 
next  Lady-day ;  and  the  payments  to  be  made,  to  be  paid  quar- 
terly ;  but  yet  they  are  not  actually  to  be  paid  but  every  halfe 
year ;  only  this  is  done  to  secure  a  quarter's  payment  out  of  the 
perscmall  estate  in  case  of  death.

No.  XI. 
From  the  saJie  to  Isaac  Basire,  Esq. 

London,  Apr.  20th,  1676. 

My  honoured  Brother, 

Ip  you  doe  not  interpret  my  silence  an  argument  of  my  con- 
fid^ce  in  you,  rather  than  neglect  of  you,  you  are  not  just  to 
me.    I  understand  by  Will.  Mason  that  you  were  very  zealous 
for  mee  in  your  discourse  with  Mr.  Morland  * ;  I  retume  you  my 
most  heartye  thankes ;  and  assuer  you  that  you  shall  not  finde 
mee  peccant  in  any  substantiall  concemes  of  your's,  tho*  not 
aflways  over  cerimonious  in  letters,  &c.     Pray  continue  your 
kbdnesses,  in  advice  and  assistance,  when  ever  my  cosen  Beau- 
mont t  or  Will.  Mason,  shall  repaire  to  you  for  itt,  as  I  have 
order'd  them  to  doe  in  difficult  cases.     Tou  are  the  man  of  law 
whom  I  relye  on,  and  one  that  will  pardon  and  take  in  good 
part,  I  hope,  the  troubles  occasioned  by  mee  or  my  agents.     I

Your  very  affectionate  servantt  and  brother,

Knrice  to  Mr.  Chancellour.  I  am  likewise  his  &c.  Hee  hath 
^te  beaten  mee  out  of  the  feild  with  mine  owne  weapons.  His 
m  long  letter  of  Feb.  (since  which  I  never  writt)  struck  mee 
^d,  or  dumb  at  least.  But  not  with  reason,  (for  I  am  sure  hee 
i  in  the  wrong)  but  with  his  prolixity.  To  which  I  cannot 
wply  without  greater,  and  therefore,  before  I  doe  it,  and  dispute 
the  point,  I  desire  to  know  of  him  which  he  will  take  in  best 
part,  either  a  lone  epistle  of  three  or  foure  sheets,  or  my  farther 
ftlence,  which  if  1  once  breake,  I  can't  hold,  I  shall  be  at  him.

that  nature,  that  I^was  fit  for  no  other  buisinesse,  which  re- 

Juired  invention,  before  I  had  discharged  my  head  of  them,  and 
id  accordingly,  on  a  new  text  whereon  I  had  never  preach'd, 
nmne  of  halte  a  sermon,  at  leisure  hours  last  week  while  I  staid 
at  Durham ;  and  if  I  could  but  have  secured  another  week  here 
at  Easington,  before  I  had  met  with  any  thing  that  had  dis- 
turbed my  head,  and  put  mee  out  of  tune,  I  do  not  doubt  but  I 
should  have  runne  of  the  other  half,  in  the  same  straine,  and 
made  it  all  of  a  piece,  as  I  am  afraid  now  it  will  bee  hardly  pos- 
sible for  mee  to  doe.     For  your  brother's  want  of  this  100/., 
which  I  think  is  grounded  upon  undeniable  reasons  and  neces- 
sity, does  at  present  soe  much  disturb  my  brain,  (tho'  I  know  of 
nothing  that  I  can  doe  to  the  promoting  of  it,  but  saying  to 
Proud,  as  I  have  said,  Let  it  bee  done,  \f  it  bee  possible  to  bee 
done,)  that  I  can  hardly  think  of  any  other  thing ;  notwithstand- 
ing it  bee  wholy  out  of  my  sphere,  I  having  a  little  of  that  they 
call  good  nature,  which  is  very  imgovemable  in  mee,  and  makes 
mee  feel  sometimes  some  other  people's  sufferings  for  mee  more 
than  I  should,  especially  when  they  are  persons  that  have  given 
mee  a  demonstration  of  their  love,  as  your  brother  hath  done. 
See  is,  I  find,  at  an  extraordinary  pinch,  and  I  am,  in  an  ex- 
traordinary manner,  concerned  for  him,  which  is  all  the  con- 
tolation  I  can  give  him.     Hee  knows  I  cannot  manage,  nor 
mind  these  money  affairs,  and  therefore  will  not  blame  mee,  if 
it  bee  not  done.     I  send  in  Proud  (on  whom  I  do  relye  chiefly 
of  all  my  domesticks,  to  take  of  these  troubles,  about  my  re- 
venue, m)m  mee)  to  waite  upon  you  and  to  represent  imto  you 
the  utmost  that  wee  are  able  to  doe.     The  moneys  he  has  is  ab- 
solutely necessary  for  dayly  expences,  and  where  wee  shall  get 
more  for  the  house  in  my  absence,  or  for  my  journey  up,  I 
cuinot  yet  foresee ;  both  which  must  bee  taken  care  for  like- 
wise, with  all  expedition ;  and  I  hope  Proud  and  you  will  take 
it  into  consideration  while  you  are  together;  for  I  would  faine 
heginne  my  journey,  if  possible,  this  day  fortnight,  and  spend  a 
few  dayes,  before  I  take  coach  at  York,  with  Dr.  Comber,  con- 
cerning the  stile,  phrase,  or  method  of  my  sermon,  who  shall 
hee  the  only  person  I  shall  consult  about  it  here  in  the  north. 

As  for  the  comission,  I  beseech  you  to  mind  it  in  the  absence 
of  Mr.  Brown. 

Mr.  Cradock  prevailed  with  Golding  to  stop  that  buisinesse, 
in  his  hands,  til  fresh  applications  were  made  to  Sir  William 
rnd'hill  by  your  brother  above,  concerning  which  I  writ  to 
him  by  last  post. 

Blacket  never  came  to  mee,  nor  sent  to  mee,  tho'  I  heard  by 
Tho.  Cradock,  that  hoe  was  in  town.

MISCELLANEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  165 

Tidenoe  of  Qod  in  raising  up  soe  considerable  a  number  of  able 
perBons  in  the  Church  of  England  to  maintaine  her  doctrine 

BoiMly  tiiottgh  a  mild  and  ChristiMi-like  nan,  was  indeed  a  strenuous  upholder  of 
the  rifhtt  of  bis  order,  and  of  the  Church  of  which  he  was  a  minister.  For  these 
odsaoea  he  was  in  1M9,  immediatelj  after  the  passing  of  the  Assertory  Act,  sus- 
peoded  hom  the  exercise  of  his  office  as  Bishop,  or  of  any  jurisdiction  inthin  his 
iosesi  of  Glasgow,  during  his  Majesty's  pleasure.  The  Archbishop  demurred,  but, 
being  threaianed  by  Lauderdale,  surrendmd  his  office,  and  his  name  was  abo  ex- 
pand fW»i  the  list  of  privy-councillors.  Leighton,  then  Bishop  of  Dumbbtne,  whose 
Bsaa  doaa  not  read  well  in  history,  was,  after  a  slight  demur  on  hb  part,  appointed 
ssBiMsudator  and  administrator  of  the  see,  and  in  1671  was  elected  Ardibishop, 
though  the  election  was  never  ratified  by  the  King.  Next  year,  howerer,  he  resigned 
kis  pott  into  the  King's  hands,  but  was  persuaded  by  Lauderdale  still  to  act  as  ad- 
■Jnlaiisttw  of  the  see.  Burnet  was  restored  in  1674,  on  the  occasion  of  Lauderdale's 
bttof  threatened  with  impeachment  by  the  House  of  Commons,  with  the  double 
fiew  of  keeping  the  outrage  he  had  sustained  in  the  background,  and  to  purchase  the 
snott  of  the  Bishops  of  Bngbtnd  and  Scotland,  whom  Lauderdale  had  greatly 
ofeoded  by  his  arbitrary  interference  with  their  rights  and  privileges. 

The  eaaaat  of  Lauderdale's  anger  against  the  Archbishop  were,  1st,  his  efforts  to 

Mie  ^e  Bsiaguided  fimatios  from  the  violent  measures  of  the  Privy  Council  after  the 

bittle  of  the  Pentland  Hills  in  1666.    Having  faUed  with  the  Council,  he  brought  the 

Mttcr  under  the  notice  of  the  English  Secretarv  of  State,  Sir  H.  Bennett  (afterwards 

Ivt  of  Arlington),  exposing  the  acts  of  the  Council.    2nd,  His  opposition  to  the 

BIsek  ladnlgoDoe,  which  seems  to  have  been  suggested  by  Leighton.    This  was  a 

plai  for  allowing  the  discontented  Presbyterian  ministers  in  the  west  to  occupy  oer- 

tria  deeuitd  churches,  from  which  the  clergy  had  been  driven  by  popular  violence, 

mA  to  hold  synods,  &c  apart  from  the  diocesan  clergy.    3d,  His  opposition  to  the 

hmmtmj  Act,  which  was  designed  apparently  to  save  the  Council  from  the  con- 

MfMBcei  of  their  violation  of  the  law  in  the  matter  of  the  Black  Indulgence.     It 

Miftcd  the  King's  supremacy  in  most  extravagant  terms,  declaring  "that  his 

Hijesty  hath  the  supreme  authority  and  supremacy  oyer  all  persons  and  in  all 

CMMS  eodeeiaetical  within  this  his  kingdom ;  and  that,  by  virtue  thereof,  the  order- 

isff  and  disposal  of  the  external  government  and  policy  of  the  Church  doth  properly 

MBQg  to  his  Majesty  and  his  successors,  as  an  inherent  right  of  the  Crown 

•iy  Inr,  act,  or  custom  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding."   The  Indulgence  was  dated 
thi  7th  of  June,  and  the  Act  passed  on  the  16th  of  Nov.  1069. 

Tbs  Archbishop  attributes  his  disgrace  (if  such  we  may  call  it)  to  his  appeal  to  the 
Kflif  for  more  merdfnl  measures  in  favour  of  the  rebeb ;  for,  writing  to  Sheldon  on 
Km  dsy  of  his  resignation  of  his  archbishopric,  (of  which  after  his  suspension  he 
i|tiiMd  the  name  and  style  up  to  Dec,)  he  says,  **  My  great  crime  was  the  informa- 
tini  I  pve  his  Bi^esty  in  your  Grace's  hearing.  Yet  1  bless  God,  most  men  here 
iNsk  my  integrity  is  my  greittest  crime."  It  is  possible,  too,  he  may  have  told  the 
Cog  what  he  is  said  to  luive  written  to  the  English  Bishops,  that  the  great  obstacle 
te  thi  return  of  peace  was  the  countenance  afforded  by  many  in  the  Council  to  the 
■Mfiois  acts  of  the  Cameronians. 

On  being  suspended  by  this  extraordinary  exercise  ot  the  royal  supremacy,  the 
iichbiihop  called  together  his  clergy  and  told  them  **  he  was  not  to  act  for  some 
tfas  as  their  Ordinary  among  them,  till  the  King  should  be  pleased  to  allow  him." 
ftsaing  at  onoe  his  Christian  temper  and  his  consdons  rectitude.  By  will  be  left 
•  piece  of  land  in  the  neighbourhood  of  St  Andrew's  for  the  benefit  of  the  poor  o{ 
tbs  Goildry,  which  is  still  called  "  Bishop  Burnet's  Acre."  The  poor  however  do  not 
fit  the  benefit  of  it,  the  Corporation  applying  it  to  the  general  expenses  of  the  burgh, 
iicbbishop  Bumef  s  successor  was  Arthur  E^,  who  was  deprived  at  the  Revolution. 
Tbs  Editor  has  to  thank  his  friend,  the  Rev.  Canon  Humble,  of  St  Niaian's,

MISCELLANEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,    &C.  167 

27th.  Being  "WTiitsuiiday,  I  dined  with  Mr.  Secretary  Jen- 
kinSy  where  I  met  with  Sir  William  Dugdel,  Sir  William  Basset, 
and  two  other  gentlemen;  and  after  much  discourse  about  a 
mat  discovery  of  coyners   and   clippers   in  Wilkshire,   [sic] 
Dorcetshire,  and  Summersetshire,  Sir  William  Dugdel  began 
some  discourse  concerning  his  progresse  into  the  north  which 
hee  made  in  the  year  [1666  *]  and  spake  much  in  comendation 
of  Biflhopp  Cosins  and  Dr.  Basiere,  highly  comending  the  con- 
formity of  the  place,  and  more  particularly  the  observation  of 
the  65th  canon,  and  telling  me  a  story  of  Dr.  Burnet,  how  hee 
took  an  occasion  to  admonish  him  for  omitting,   in  the  first 
volume   of  his  History  of  the  Reformation,   the  Bidding  of 
Prayer  in  Edward  the  6th's  time,  &c.,  and  that  Dr.  Burnet 
oonfeaeed  it  an  error,  and  promised  to  take  notice  of  it  in  the 
pablication  of  the  second  voliune,  but  that  the  Doctor  failed  to 
doe  ity  and  thereon  censured  him  to  bee  a  man  very  deficient  in 
integrity.     Sir  William  did  voluntarily  inlarge  very  much  upon 
diis  point  of  Bidding  Prayer,  and  confessed  that  the  contrary 
practice  was  a  shiboleth  whereby  to  distinguish  the  fanatick 
party,  and  that  if  the  liberty  which  ministers  take,  bee  not  sea- 
sonably check'd,  it  may  ones  more  runne  down  the  liturgy. 
After  this,  wee  had  some  discourse  concerning  Newcastle ;  and 
upon  my  informing  him  that  it  was  brought  to  a  very  great 
degree  of  conformity  by  the  zeal  and  diligence  of  the  Omciall 
of  Northumberland  f   and  Vicar  J,  whereat   hee   did  heartily 


*  He  WM  at  Bishop's  Auckland  on  the  4th  Sept  1666.— Surtees'  Hist.  Durham, 
Idfl 

t  Isttc  Basire,  Esq.  See  his  Injunctions  to  the  Clergy  of  the  Archdeaconry  of 
Nortkamberland  hereafter,  in  the  Appendix. 

t  John  March,  B.D.  was  Vicar  of  Newcastle  from  1679  to  1692.  He  published 
nmal  sermons:  1.  A  Sermon  preached  before  the  Mayor  and  Aldermen  of  that 
tovn  on  the  30th  Jan.  1676-7.  He  was  then  Vicar  of  Embleton,  co.  Northumb. 
2.  A  Sermon  entitled  "  The  Encsenia  of  St.  Ann's  Chappel  in  Sandgate/'  preached 
^  3, 1682.  3.  Another  Sermon  on  the  anniversary  of  King  Charles*  Martyrdom, 
tttitled  *'  The  false  Prophet  unmask't,  &c."  in  1683.  4.  A  Sermon  on  the  like  occa- 
>ioB  in  1689,  advocating  passive  obedience  and  non-resistance.  These  three  dis- 
QNDies,  like  the  first,  were  preached  before  the  Mayor  and  Aldermen.  The  one  last 
Bined  occasioned  some  letters  between  the  author  and  James  Welwood,  M.D. 

1^  wretched  state,  as  regarded  .Church  matters,  in  which  Northumberland  vras 
fctad  after  the  Restoration,  may  be  gathered  from  the  Informations  given  in  by  some 
^  tbe  Clergy  to  Archdeacon  Basire  in  1 662,  which  the  reader  will  find  in  the 
A|ipcQdix.  It  is  evident  from  Dean  Granville's  testimony  that  Bishop  Cosin's  vigorous 
idaunistntion  produced  some  good  fruit.  And  it  is  not  uninteresting  to  find  that 
ifter  the  lapse  of  a  century  the  good  order  and  discipline  then  set  on  foot  were 
Ml  atterly  extinct.  In  Wallis'  History  of  Northumberland  (published  in  1769) 
*e  find  that  at  St.  Nicholas',  Newcastle  on  Tyne,  there  were  then  "  prayers  twice 
>  day ;  a  catechetical  lecture  in  every  week  when  there  are  no  holidays ;  and  a 
■ereioo  tvrice  a  week,  on  every  Wednesday  and  Friday,  in  Advent  and  Lent,  preached 
bj  all  the  clergy  of  the  town  in  their  turn."    At  All  Saints',  in  the  same  town,  the

their  duty^  assuring  them  from  mee,  that  I  will'  stand  by  them. 
Farewell,  Gk)d  bee  with  you ;  I  thank  you.'  Whereupon  I 
kneeled  dow^i,  and  his  Majesty  gave  mee  his  hand.  Im^atly 
before  the  King  said,  *  Farewell,  &c.,'  I  replyed,  wee  had  ffreat 
inoouragement  to  doe  our  duty  in  the  Bishoprick  of  Durham, 
and  ahcrald  bee  more  than  ordinary  to  blame,  if  we  did  not  doe 
it,  it  being  more  easy  than  elsewhere,  it  being  without  dispute 
the  most  exemplary  county  for  good  order  and  conformity  of 
any  in  the  nation.  '  I  believe  it,'  says  the  King,  with  a  gracious 
nod,  and  then  spake  as  I  have  mentioned,  '  Farewell,  &c.' 

Jane  3.    Sunday  morning,  waiting  in  the  Closet,  as  soon  as 
tlie  Minister  began  prayer  in  the  pulpit  (the  King's  attention 
whereto  I  made  lesse  conscience  of  interrupting  than  other  parts 
of  the  service)  I  took  an  occasion  to  speak  to  the  King,  first 
making  Dr.  Montague's  excuse,  as  hce  had  desired  mee,  and 
therewithall    presenting    him   with   Dr.   Stuart's   little    piece 
against  pulpit  prayers.     The  King  asked  mee  how  I  did  know 
it  was  Dr.  Stuart's,  I  told  him  that  the  bookseller  for  whom  it 
was  printed  did  informe  mee  soe.     The  King  shaked  his  head, 
and  said  that  was  not  enough.'    I  then  added,  that  Sir  William 
Heywood  did  informe  mee  soe.     Says  the  King,  *  Did  Sir  Wil- 
liam Heywood  tell  you  soe  P  that's  somewhat ;  I'le  read  it :'  and 
thereupon  glancing  his  eye  on  the  title  page,  and  turning  two 
or  three  leaves  of  it,  held  it  in  his  hand  till  the  sermon  was 
almost  ended,  and  then  put  it  in  his  pocket. 

Sunday  evening,  attending  by  the  Duke's  Bedchamber,  and 
watching  an  opportunity  to  take  my  leave  of  his  Royall  Higli- 
nesae,  S^retary  Jenkins  came  in,  and  waited  there  a  consider- 
aUe  time  to  speak  with  the  Duke.  I  took  an  occasion  to  let 
bim  know  that  I  was  going  for  Oxford,  and  would  take  it  as  a 
great  honour  if  hee  had  any  comands  for  mee.  *  I  pray  give  my 
•ervice,'  saith  hee,  *  to  my  Lord  Bishopp  of  Oxford,  and  Mr.  Vice 
Chancellor.'  After  this,  observing  the  Secretary  to  wait  there 
a  considerable  time,  some  mutuall  discourse  passing  on  such 
nbjects  as  did  occasionally  present  themselves,  no  body  being 
pwent  with  the  Secretary,  but  Mr.  Gary,  the  Master  of  the 
Wkhounds,  and  myself,  I  took  an  occasion  to  ask  of  him 
blether  hee  had  ever  met  with  a  little  piece  of  Dr.  Stuart's, 
(diewing  the  mischieves  of  pulpit  prayers)  which  I  had  taken 
the  bol&esse  to  put  into  the  King's  hand  that  morning  while  I 
did  my  duty  in  the  Closet.  Hee  told  mee  hee  had  never  seen 
it,  before  hee  saw  the  King  reading  it  in  the  Bedchamber : 
whereupon  I  took  one  out  of  my  pocket  and  presented  him 
therewith,  saying  that  I  thought  it  a  subject  very  worthy  of 
consideration,  especially  now  at  this  criticall  time,  when  men

the  London  coach  to  Oxford,  and  had  the  honour  to  bee  received 

into  the  coach  of  a  yonng  Prince  of  Sueden,  son  to  Prince 

Adolphus,   iincle  to  the  £ng  of  Sueden,  who  being  present 

at  Windsor,  when  I  preach'd  before  the  King,  and  attended  at 

the  King's  elbow  in  the  Closet,  remembred  my  face,  and  being 

told  that  I  was  a  brother  of  the  Earie  of  Bathe's,  from  whom 

hee  had  received  some  officious   services,  shewed  mee  great 

favour  all  along  the  journey.     Hee  demanded  of  mee,  after  I 

came  into  the  coach,  what  languages  I  could  speak  best.     I  re- 

plyed  that  I  understood  the  Latine,  but  could  explaine  myself 

tetter  in  French,  whereupon  hee  and  a  Germane  lord  with  him, 

as  aUsoe  his  chaplaine,  which  seemed  to  be  a  very  learned  man, 

discoursed  with  mee  oftentimes  in  French,  and  sometimes  in 

LatiiL    They  seem'd  all  to  bee  very  much  satisfyed  with  the 

order  of  the  Church  of  England.     I  demanded  of  the  Chaplaine 

whether  hee  had  ever  read  our  Liturgy,  and  hee  told  mee  hee 

had  seen  it,  but  never  read  much  of  it :  whereupon  I  took  out 

my  Latin  Comon  Prayer-book.     Hee  seemed  to  bee  much  satis- 

^ed  therewith,  and  confessed  wee  had  retained  very  much  of 

we  practices  of  the  Primitive  Church,  and  more  particularly 

fliat  wee  had  retained  Confession,  Absolution,  and  soe  many 

Feasts  and  Fasts,  all  which  hee  said  their  Church  did  observe, 

^esse  the  four  Ember- weeks,  but  hee  told  mee  that  hee  was  a 

Kttle  scandaliz'd  that   the  people  did  not  better  observe  the 

Feasts,  according  to  the  order  of  the  Church,  saying  that  hee 

was  much  offended  to  find  Ascension-day  very  much  contemned 

hy  the  people  of  London,  observing  the  shops  in  the  town  to  be 

generally  open  on  that  day. 

15th.  Friday  the  15th.  The  University  having  ended  all 
thdr  complements  and  ceremonies  in  the  reception  of  the  Prince, 
and  admitting  him  and  his  retinue  to  severall  degrees,  I  went  to 
wait  on  the  Bishopp  of  Oxford*  and  beg  his  benediction :  and 
after  I  had  thank'd  him  for  the  obliging  letter  hee  writ  mee 
about  the  weekly  celebration  of  the  Comunion  in  Cathedralls, 
Ac,  and  hee  had  inquired  whether  I  had  succeeded  in  my  honest 
attempt  in  reviving  the  rubrick,  at  Durham,  that  does  injoyne 
the  same,  wee  entred  upon  some  discourse  concerning  the  usuall 
objections  which  are  made  against  soe  laudable  and  pious  a 
piactice,  and  hee  declared  that  hee  did  not  think  any  of  those 
4at  had  been  offer'd  to  mee  by  the  Deane  and  Prebends  valid, 
condenming  that  which  they  seem'd  to  lay  the  greatest  stresse 
on,  namely  that  there  was  no  likelyhood  *to  have  a  sufficient 
number  to  keep  up  the  dignity  of  that  Holy  Mystery,  saying

tho'  a  man  of  no  extraordinary  presence,  yet  hee  appears  to  bee 
a  person  of  great  learning  and  sincerity.    After  a  complement 
at  first  entrance,  in  relation  to  those  learned  books  that  hee 
hath  published,  I  demanded  his  judgment  concerning  confor- 
mity, and  the  Holy  Sacrament.     First,  whether  the  Gomon 
Prayer-book  does  give  any  liberty  for  the  exercise  of  prudence. 
Secondly,  whether  that  strict  conformity  which  the  book  re- 
quires IS  not  at  present    very   seasonable   to   bee  practised. 
Thirdly,  whether  it  was  not  both  pious  and  prudent  to  restore 
the  celebration  of  the  Sacrament  weekly  in  Oathedralls.     Hee 
tnswered  the  first  in  the  negative,  and  the  two  last  in  the 
affirmative. 

21th.  Upon  my  retume  from  Oxford  to  Taplow  I  went  to  see 
Mr.  Bradock,  Curate  to  Mr.  Levet,  Minister  of  Taplow,  where. I 
found  Dr.  Evans,  Prebend  of  Windsor,  who  in  his  discourse 
oonoeming  some  greivances  of  the  Church  did  instance  in  a 
danse  which  was  now  left  out  in  Acts  of  Parliament,  to  the 
at  prejudice  of  the  Cleargy.  In  the  first  Acts  after  the 
luff's  Bestoratibn,  there  was  provision  made  that  there  should 
no  diunaffe  ensue  to  the  Clergy  by  levying  money  without  the 
wmaent  of  the  convocation :  but  in  these  latter  there  was  (as 
the  Doctor  inform'd  mee)  no  mention  at  all  made  of  any  thing 
to  that  purpose ;  which  ground  lost  wee  all  judg'd  would  bee 
veiy  difficultly  recover'd.  Mr.  Bradock  made  mention  at  the 
aame  time  of  an  Act  of  Parliament  wherein  there  was  a  grosse 
aror  and  mistake  as  to  point  of  time,  which  Hickeringijl  *  takes 
notice  of,  and  is  in  the  right. 

23th.  The  three  and  twentieth,  being  Mid-summer  eve,  I 
lodg'd  at  Mr.  Bull's  at  Moreclack,  where  I  preach'd  the  day 
Mowing,  and  was  much  satisfied  to  find  that  place,  which  had 
wen  very  factious,  supplyed  by  a  worthy  person,  one  Mr. 
Jones,  who  reads  the  service  very  orderlv,  observed  daily  prayers, 
and  celebrated  the  Sacrament  monethly,  and  had  been  instru- 
nentall  a  little  while  before  in  suppressing  a  very  considerable 
conventicle. 
From  thence  I  went  down  the  river  to  London,  and  the  first

MISCELLANEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  175 

pasty  that  I  now  see  soe  much  beauty  in  that  incomparable 
oompoBure,  and  find  soe  much  pleasure  and  profit  in  the  con- 
sideration of  the  matter  and  method,  the  design  and  history  of 
the  book,  that  I  find  it  impossible  for  mee  to  desist  from  the 
prosecution  of  the  same  as  long  as  I  live,  which  is  a  task  I  find 
more  than  enough  for  the  longest  life.     And  in  the  view  and 
serious  consideration  of  the  rubricks  of  the  Comon  Prayer,  I 
have  been  often  struck  with  great  admiration,  that  soe  many  of 
my  brethren  of  the  Clergy  should  skip  over  two  rules  which  are 
meihinks  of  essential  obUgation  to  every  church-man,  namely, 
for  Daily  Prayers  in  Parish  Churches,  and  Weekly  Sacramento, 
at  least,  in  Cathedrals.     If  they  could  forget  the  solemn  pro- 
miae  they  make  in  the  presence  of  God,  and  face  of  a  congrega- 
tion, when  they  give  an  assent  and  consent  to  all  the  rules  of 
the  Book  (which  I  have  ever  esteem'd  little  inferior  to  an  oath) 
it  is  strange   they  should  be  altogether  unmindfiiU  of  those 
duties  which  are,  above  all  others,  incumbent  upon  every  good 
priest;  I  meane  to  ofier  up  daily  prayers  and  praises  to  Al- 
Bjighty  God,  in  behalf  of  the  whole  Church,  as  well  as  the  par- 
ticular congregations  which  they  serve ;  and  to  administer  the 
Holy  Eucharist   soe  frequently  as  the  circumstances  of  the 
people  or  place  where  they  live,  do  require,  or  will  allow  of. 
These  omissions  of  dutyes  of  such  hign  moment  amonff  the 
greatest  part  of  the  clergy  of  every  diocess,  has  occasioned 
oftentimes  much  grief  to  my  soul :  the  dislike  whereof  in  others 
Iws  stirr'd  mee  up  to  indeavour  to  rectify  the  same  within  my 
Jurisdiction  ;  which  (I  bless  God)  I  have  done,  in  some  measure, 
ha?ing  gotten  in  the  most  considerable  country  parishes  Daily 
Prayers  and  Monethly  Sacraments ;  and  I  could  prevaile  with 
many  other  places  to  observe  the  like  good  order,  if  our  Cathe- 
W  did  not  authorize  the  breach  of  law,  in  having  no  weekly 
Sacrament.     Hereupon,  my  lord,  I  have  for  late  years,  often 
•Mress'd  myself  to  Mr.  Deane,  and  my  brethren  of  the  Chapter, 
to  reform  this  irregularity,  but  without  success ;  and  now  do,  in 
BH)st  humble  manner,  address  myself  to  your  Grace  that  you 
TOild  bee  pleased  to  give  some  little  intimation  to  Mr.  Deane 
of  Durham  (who  has  a  great  veneration  for  your  Grace)  that 
kse  would  comply  in  this  particular,  and  permit  the  weekly 
cdebration  in  his  Cathedral,  whereto  hee  has  been  often  moved : 
or,  if  you  would  judg  meet,  rather  to  give  some  hint  to  my  Ijord 
Arch-Bishop   of  York,  to   restore   this  holy  practice   in  that 
Cathedral  *,  it  would  not  only  have  influence  over  Durham,  but 

^  the  fonowing  letter  firom  Archbishop  Dolben  to  Sancroft  (Tanner  MSB.  xzxiy. 
Ill)  dieirs  that  Granville's  earnestness  on  this  subject  produced  some  result.

thereby.  I  had  thought,  my  lord,  often  when  I  waited  upon 
jfoor  Ghrace  at  Lambeth  to  have  moved  you  herein  but  want  of 
eimfidence  or  opportunity  did  hinder  mee,  whereat  I  have  been 
much  distorVd.  Dr.  Beveridge,  who  I  hope  will  do  mee  the 
&vour  to  deliver  this  letter  with  his  own  hands,  will  say,  I 
tast,  somewhat  for  the  promotion  of  this  good  work.  Begging 
your  Ghrace's  pardon  and  benediction,  I  subscribe  myself,

From  the  same  to  Sir  William  Dugdale*. 

Dnrbam,  November  Srd,  1683. 

Worthy  Sir, 

Before  I  had  the  happiness  and  honour  to  meet  you  at  Mr, 
Seovtarv  Jenkin's  (when  I  was  at  Windsor)  I  was  sufficiently 
avored  both  (rom  your  works  and  report,  that  you  were  a  person 
of  great  integrity,  as  well  as  learning ;  but  til  that  time  I  did 
oot  understand  you  to  bee  (what  is  very  hard  to  find  even 
iaiODg  the  clergy,  I  meane)  a  true  Church-man,  a  lover  of 
<Kdsr  and  exact  conformity,  not  allowing  any  liberty  to  exalt 
pirate  prudence  above  the  Church's. 

His  encouraged  mee  to  present  you  with  a  small  treatise, 
befixre  I  lefb  London,  of  Dr.  Stuart's,  concerning  Bidding  of

least  to  recomend  mee  some  books  or  persons,  who  can  inform 
mee  herein.     The  books  that  I  and  some  others,  are,  at  nresent, 
taming,  in  order  hereunto,  are  Heylin,  Gyp.  Bed.  and  Reform, 
of  the  Church,  Bishop  Jewel,  Fox's  Martyr.,  Paul's  life  of 
Whitgift,  Bishop  Andrews'  life  and  works,  fiumet's  History  of 
Reformation,  Q.  Elizabeth  and  Edward  the  sixth's  Injunctions, 
(Goodwin's  Lives,  &c.     If  you  can  inform  mee  of  any  better 
authoors   to  make  a  discovery  of  what  I  seek  after,  I  shall 
heartily  thank  you.     I  know.  Sir,  that  the  disturbance  which  I 
give  you  with  soe  long  a  letter,  may  seem  neither  prudent  nor 
mannerly.     But  I  perceive  you  soe  tenderlv  uffected,  towards 
the  interest  of  the  religion  established  in  the  Church  of  Eng- 
land, that  I  presume  on  your  pardon  ;  since  all  that  I  aime  at, 
is  only  the  honour  of  God's  service,  and  the  edification  of  my 
Jurisdiction ;  the  most  populous  towns  whereof  I  do  not  doubt 
to  raise  to  monethly  comunions,  when  our  Cathedral  (whigh 
hath  been  famous  for  conformity  in  all  things  but  this)  is  once 
come  up  to  a  weekly  celebration ;  which  was  the  only  consider- 
able matter  in  our  Cathedral  or  Diocess,  which  Bi^op  Cosins 
left  uncompleted.     Sir,  I  have  had  a  very  hard  game  to  play, 
these  twenty  years  (which  time  I  have  been  Arch-deacon  of 
Durham)  in  maintaining  the  exact  order  which  Bishop  Cosins 
set  on  foot  here,  since  arguments  have  been  brought  against 
mee  oftentimes  (no  Diocess  in  England  having  kept  pace  with 
us)  from  the  practice  of  the  generality  of  emment  clergy  else- 
where, and  sometime  from  the  practice  of  the  very  Cathedrals. 
In  consideration  whereof  you  will  bee  soe  kind,  I  hope,  to  a 
poor,  feeble  Churchman    (that  would  faine  make  good  that 
ginnmd  which  was  happily  gained  here  by  our  worthy  deceased 
prelate)  as  to  afibrd  him  a  little  countenance  and  assistance 
in  those  matters  which  you  have  been  conversant  in,  in  relation 
to  Bishop  Cosin's  notion  of  conformity,  which  I  find  very  few 
to  approve  of,  or  understand. 

It  did  very  much  rejoyce  my  soul,  when  I  discovered  among 
the  laity  so  eminent  a  champion  for  our  Comon  Prayer  Book,  as 
yourself,  who  appear  to  mee  very  right  set  in  all  things,  and 
pwticularly  in  the  matter  of  Bidding  of  Prayer,  the  very  crite- 
non  of  a  true  Church  of  England  man.  Praying  to  God  to  in- 
crease the  number  of  such  good  friends  to  the  interest  of  our 
Church,  and  reward  you  and  yours  in  an  especial  manner  for 
your  real  love  to  our  poor  despised  Liturgy,  I  do,  with  great 
Mncerity  and  afiection,  subscribe  myself.  Sir, 

Your  most  faithfidl  humble  servant,

sionerB  rule  for  ecciesiasticall  affaires,  as  well  as  the  Dr/s  other 
weferments,  would  become  void  by  such  a  promotion.     This

Teniently  betwixt  Durham  and  Easington.     The  value  of  it  I 
am  well  assured  is  better  than  300/.  per  annum  cleare,  besides 
the  casualities  of  fines.     This  falling  to  my  disposall,  I  shall 
most  willingly  conferre  it  on  Dr.  G[renyilleJ  as  an  addition  to 
what  he  now  injoyes.     All  these  together  I  am  verjr  confident 
are  considerably  beyond  the  Deanery ;  espetially  considering  the

broUier  as  well  for  the  sake  of  Dr.  Montas^e,  as  for  his  bro- 
ther's sake.    What  his  lordship  hath  done  m  this,  I  know  not, 
and  therefore  must  desire  that  you  would  favour  mee,  as  at 
your  first  conveniency,  to  communicate  the  contents  hereof  with 
my  most  humble  service  to  his  lordshipp,  who  was  pleased  to  give 
mee  leave  to  doe  this.     Whatever  determination  my  lord  and 
Ilia  brother  Dr.  shall  make  herein,  will  be  satis£Eu;tory ;  and

From  the  Bishop  of  Durham  to  Sir  Richard  Llotd. 

Auckland  Castle,  Thursday,  June  26th,  1684. 

Sir  Rich.  Lloyd, 

AoooKDiNO  to  my  promise  last  post,  I  now  send  you  my  mind 
M  fully  in  answer  to  your  inclosed  paper  as  the  straitnesse  of 
the  time  would  give  mee  leave.  Nor  can  I  thinke  of  any  better 
method  for  enforcing  my  former  proposall  than  what  Mr.  Arch- 
deacon himselfe  hath  used  in  his  deliberating  thereon ;  who,  to 
doe  him  right,  hath  said  as  much  as  the  thing  can  possibly 

*  la  May  1684  we  find  that  Dr.  Comber  wrote  npon  this  sabject  as  follows  to  Arch* 
tMiop  Bancroft : — "  We  are  here  ^ery  happy  in  him,  [Archbishop  Dolben]  for  he  is 
yvy  actife  in  his  station,  bat  still  the  weekly  communions  do  not  take.  I  have  moved 
^  *ith  modesty,  and  am  not  denyed,  bat  the  thing  is  deferred  for  a  while.  I  hope  it 
Bsyihortlj  do."— Tanner  MSS. 

t  *'He  [Dr.  Comber]  contracted  an  happy  friendship  with  Mr.  Joseph  Lane  of  the 
Middle  Temple,  afterwards  comptroller  of  London;  which  being  groonded  on  the 
pimples  of  piety,  the  only  sore  foondation  of  a  lasting  friendship,  soon  encreased  to 
Mdi  i  decree,  that  ther  addressed  each  other  by  the  endeering  name  of  brother/' — 
MoDoirs  of  Dean  Comber,  p.  60. 

t  There  is  a  place  of  this  name  close  to  the  Railway  between  Linton  and  Long- 
Biddiy,  near  to  the  Drem  Junction,  on  the  North  British  Lme.  It  if  not  v«ry  it

his  last  Visitation  there,  are  to  bee  made  substantial!,  whatever 
the  charges  bee  to  the  present  Master. 

2.  The  casualty  of  fines  (which  were  considerable  last  yeare) 
are  wholy  belonging  to  the  Master. 

3.  This  is  free  fix)m  tenths,  first-fruits,  residence  and  duty. 

4.  The  Master  is  the  sole  patron  of  2  or  3  livings  *,  and  hath 
the  nomination  of  a  Chaplain  in  the  Hospitall,  who  is  main- 
tained, as  well  as  other  servants,  upon  the  House  stock.  These, 
with  the  Curates  and  Deacons  in  Easington  and  Sedgefield,  may 
be  looked  on  as  so  many  preferments  for  his  friends. 

5.  The  Master  of  this  place  is  as  great  an  Almoner  as  the 
Deane  of  Durham,  there  being  thirty  two  Alms-men  in  his 
disposall,  sixteen  whereof  are  allowed  fourty  shillings  yearely' 
ana  to  live  where  they  please,  the  other  sixteen  are  suiEciently 
pnmded  for  within  the  Hospitall. 

6.  *TiB  a  place  of  retirement  upon  an  occasion ;  and  the  addi- 
tion of  this  to  the  other  preferments  will  more  easily  advance 
than  one  entire  Dignity  can ;  because  the  Deanery,  tho'  great, 
is  only  a  provision  for  one ;  whereas  Sherburn,  the  Preoend, 
Sedgefield,  and  the  Archdeaconry,  are  singly,  by  themselves  so 
ooonderable,  that  they  are  credittable  substantiall  preferments 
tor  somany  severall  persons,  who  by  the  variety  of  their  in- 
terests can  without  difficulty  shove  a  man  up  higher  into  a  very 
good  station. 

7.  The  goods  and  cattels  belonging  to  the  House,  left  by  the 
late  Master,  were  valued  at  200/.  and  ought  to  have  been  worth 
four  hundred  according  to  custome ;  but  the  Bishop,  in  con- 
sideration of  the  suffering  of  that  Master,  who  was  plunder'd 
for  his  loyalty,  was  pleased  to  dispense  with  a  lesser  stock,  which 
yet  may  be  advanced  againe,  according  to  the  old  custome, 
rtenaoever  the  present  Master  leaves  it,  which  is  to  carry  on 
^  charges  of  the  House,  and  to  bee  left  to  succeeding  Masters. 

Disadvantages  of  the  Deanery, . 

!•  Whatever  the  Archdeacon's  present  preferments  are  valued 
a^ihee  best  knowes ;  but  I  am  well  assured  that  the  Deanery,  at 
the  utmost,  is  not  above  thirteen  himdred  pounds  per  ann.  and  is 
'i^dy  to  bee  lesse,  considering  the  decay  of  rentes  in  his  Corpse, 
•nd  the  dayly  growing  expences  in  repairing  an  old  Church  f 

^  ^  Vicuiges  of  Bishopton,  Grindon,  and  Sockbnrn,  and  the  PerpefUal  Curacy 
^B)dietta>,  aU  in  the  Biahoprick  of  Durham,  are  in  the  gift  of  the  Master.

3.  Tib  soe  small  a  mark  of  favour  to  exchange  the  title  of 
Aichdeaoon  for  that  of  Deane,  (these  seeming  not  consistent  in 
tlie  same  person  in  the  same  Cathedrall)  thathee  may  reasonably 
liope  for  a  better  Dignity,  considering,  as  I  said  before,  the 
Tariety  of  preferments,  and  alko  the  attendance  in  Closet,  as 
my  letter  mentions. 

4.  In  answer  to  the  great  expences  in  severall  ptreferments, 
I  thinke  the  great  hospitality,  and  the  way  of  the  living  whereto 
the  Deane  is  obliged  by  oath  according  to  the  statutes,  very 
neare  amount  to  as  much  extraordinary. 

5.  Suppose  something  eke  might  be  held  with  this  Deanery, 
(the  sreatnesse  of  which  will  hardly  give  leave  for  such  a  pro- 
posaU)  yet  whatsoever  is  so  held  must  beare  its  share  in  all  in- 
ooQveniencyes  of  a  distinct  preferment;  as  to  curates,  tenths, 
jHOcnrations,  sesses  of  all  sorts,  repairs,  removalls,  spoyling 
goods,  charges  and  board-wages  of  servants. 

6.  The  charges  in  passing  the  Great  Scale  for  the  Deaner^ 
patent,  and  fees  and  intertainment  at  his  installation,  will  cos^ 
it  least  an  hundred  pounds,  whereas  the  addition  of  Sherbum 
will  be  quiet,  and  litle  or  no  charges. 

7.  If  the  Deane  happen  to  dye  soon  after  Michaellmas  the 
whole  yeare's  revenue  of  his  Corps,  which  is  valued  at  1000/., 
\S1  the*  following  Michaelmas,  belongs  to  his  executors  and  not 
to  the  succeeding  Deane :  such  a  casualty  as  this  may  happen.

From  Archdeacon  Granville  to  Archbishop  Sancroft. 

May  rr  please  your  Grace, 

It  being  no  small  mortification  to  me  to  want  your  Ghrace*8 
Wty  approbation  to  any  preferment  that  I  should  either  seek 
•fter*,  or  keep,  I  do  (my  lord)  humbly  present  a  few  things  to 

^  Siocroft  teems  to  have  been  by  no  means  favoimbly  disposed  to  GranTiUe's 
P^vment  to  the  Deanery  of  Durham.  '*When  Dean  Sndbory  died»  my  lord 
[Ciewe,  Bishop  of  Darham]  got  the  Deanery  of  Durham  for  Dr.  Greenyill.  The 
iicfabisbop  of  Canterbury  said  to  my  lord  that '  Greenvill  was  not  worthy  of  the 
Inst  stall  in  Durham  Church :'  my  lord  replied,  '  He  rather  chose  a  gentleman  than 
•  nOy  fellow,  who  knew  nothing  but  books.'  Says  the  Archbishop,  '  /  bethrew

kaT6  any  arguments  to  prevail  with  my  Lord  Bishop  of  Dur- 
bim  to  bestow  a  Prebend  on  him^  that  you  would  use  them. 

If  his  Majesty  should  be  graciously  pleased  to  remove  me  to 
theDeanery^  there  will  certamly  be  a  vacancy,  and  there  cannot 
be  a  worthier  person  than  Dr.  Comber  found  to  fill  it  up.  I 
made  bold  to  name  him  the  first  of  three  deserviiig  persons  to 
my  lord  of  Durham ;  but  I  perceive  that  my  lord  is  fixed  as  to 
his  cliaplains,  or  Lincoln  CoUedge  men.  And  if  my  lord  con- 
fines his  kindness  to  Lincoln  Colledge,  I  wish  nis  lordship 
would  (now  or  hereafter)  think  of  Sir  George  Wheler ;  and  the 
more  because  hee  doth  not  think  of  himself.

Fbom  Dean  Granville  to  Mil  Wilson*. 

WhitehaU,  Janry.  24th,  168|. 

Mr.  RsoisTERy 

I  SEND  you  here  inclosed  a  particular  of  what  rents  are  in 
arrear,  and  will  become  due  to  me^  from  time  to  time,  betwixt 
this  and  next  Martin-mas ;  and  do  inipower  you  to  receive  them 
ally  bat  those  that  are  assigned  Mr.  WilJdnson,  as  also  to 
manage  the  whole  revenue  of  my  Deanery,  Archdeaconry  and 
PaiBona^  of  Sedgefield,  which  I  do,  with  much  willingness  and 
satiafSBKstion,  commit  to  your  care :  desiring  you  to  pay  of  the 
aererall  summes  of  money  specified  in  the  paper  as  fast  as  you 
can  with  conveniency,  and  those  first  that  have  been  longest 
due,  and  wherein  my  honour  is  most  concerned.  My  brother 
Bath  remembers  kindly  to  you,  and  told  me  that  he  would  write 
to  yoa  by  this,  or  the  next  post,  when  you  shall  hear  more 
largdy  and  effectually,  from 

Your  very  reall  and  affectionate  friend, 

Denis  Grenville. 

Give  my  service  to  all  my  brethren,  and  let  Mr.  Subdean  in 
particular  know  that  I  did  receive  another  very  long  epistle 
iroQi  Dr.  Cartwright  f  by  last  post,  whereto  I  shall  return  as 
cort  and  resolute  an  answer  as  I  did  to  the  former. 

Next  Tuesday  I  am  to  marry  Sir  William  Blacket  to  Sir 

^  Registnr  to  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Durham,  and  LL.B.  He  was  made 
SfWtoil  Chanoellor  of  the  Diocese  in  ]690,  but  did  not  long  enjoy  his  office.  **  Bfr. 
^^SKiB  Wilson  in  the  Bailey  was  drowned  the  27th  Nov.  1690,  Thursday  at  night  as 
nppotsd,  and  was  found  the  7th  Dec.  neare  Coken  Boats,  being  Sunday,  and  buried 
tkit  Di^t  in  the  Nine  Altars.*'— Bee's  Diary.  He  left  a  son  and  heir,  Sudbury  Wil- 
*OBt  UMned  from  his  god-father,  Dean  Sudbury. 

t  Thos.  CaHwrlght,  D.D.,  of  Queen's  College,  Oxford,  became  prebendarr  of  the 
Mk  itall  on  Dr.  Eaton's  resignation  in  1672,  to  which  he  was  appointed  Dy  Ring 
Clttries  II.  tide  vacanie.  He  was  also  Chaplain  in  Ordinary  to  the  King,  and  Dean 
^HipoQ.  He  was  ecclesiastical  commissioner,  and  one  of  the  delegates  to  enquire

MISCELLANEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE^   &C.  193 


No.  XXV. 

From  the  Earl  op  Bath  to  the  same,  and  copy  op  Mr. 
Wilson's  answer. 

St.  James'ies,  Jan.  27,  1684. 

Me.  Willson, 

I  AM  very  somr  that  your  sudden  going  out  of  London  hindered 
a  conclusion  of  the  treaty  which  was  begun  betwixt  my  brother 
the  Deane  and  your  selfe  couceming  the  better  management  of 
liis  BSkyres  in  your  hands,  whereof  however  you  will  sooner 
oomme  (I  hope)  by  correspondence  of  letters  to  a  good  under- 
standing, and  finish  the  same  to  both  your  satisfactions,  which  I 
wiah  and  very  well  approve. 

You  may  remember  I  spoke  to  you  in  the  busines  conceminc^ 
Mr.  WilUanson's  debt,  but  had  not  time  then  to  say  soe  much 
as  I  would  on  that  subject,  deferring  it  to  another  opportunity 
which  your  hasty  departure  would  not  permit.  I  desire  you 
therefore  to  speake  with  the  said  Mr.  Willkinson,  and  to  let  us 
certainly  know  with  all  convenient  speed  his  resolution  about 
the  1000/.  borrowed  of  him  for  which  he  hath  receaved  soe 
much  money  more  (as  he  well  knowes)  then  the  ordinary  rules 
of  the  law  doth  allow^  and  however  he  may  yet  have  a  faire  end, 
if  he  please,  on  those  termes  we  last  did  discourse,  without 
lirinfi;ing  his  name  on  the  stage;  my  brother,  for  neighbour- 
hooa  and  kindnes'  sake,  being  (I  find)  more  inclinable  to  have 
a  reasonable  proposall  made  to  him  from  Mr.  Willkinson  rather 
then  firom  another,  and  therefore  forborne  to  proceed  about 
raising  money  for  payment  of  debts  till  we  have  further  in- 
formation £rom  you  there.  I  need  say  noe  more,  only  I  shall 
be  glad  to  meete  any  occasion  of  doing  you  any  good  office  or 
kindnes  within  my  power,  remayning 

Your  very  loving  firend 

Bathe.

ton  and  Sedgefeild^  and  informe  mee  how  you  find  matters 
there,  and  if  you  perceive  any  affiiire  to  require  a  more  speedy 
determination  than  the  consulting  mee  wUl  admitt  of,  I  do 
authorise  you  to  use  your  discretion.  The  dark  of  Sedgefeild 
18  lately  dead,  and  I  am  not  yet  resolved  how  to  dispose  of  the 
place.  Mr.  Beaimiont  can  host  informe  you  of  the  state  of  that 
parish.  I  would  have  you  advise  with  him  concerning  the 
Clarke's  place  and  the  schooll ;  and  afterwards  to  write  freely 
your  thoughts.  I  would  have  Mr.  Sisterson  performe  the  duties 
of  the  pla^  for  the  present ;  but  I  cannot  yet  resolve  to  bestow 
the  place  upon  him,  (as  I  heare  hee  desires)  tho'  I  know  that 
hee  and  his  family  are  great  objects  of  charity  and  compassion. 
Walker,  for  whom  the  parish  do  move,  is,  I  feare,  a  very 
drunken  fellow;  and  tho'  otherwise  able  enough,  no  wise 
quallified  on  that  account.  Poor  Sisterson  is,  I  Imow,  a  weak 
brain  man,  and  doth  still,  I  feare,  often  faile  in  point  of  drink ; 
bat  I  conceive  the  poor  man  as  harmlesse  and  innocent  a 
drunkard  (if  hee  deserves  the  name)  as  any  in  England :  and  if 
I  do  bestow  it  on  Sisterson,  it  shall  bee  for  the  sake  of  my  god- 
son, his  son  Denys,  to  bee  supplied  by  him  till  the  yoimg  man 
bee  of  age ;  and  in  the  meane  time  I  would  have  the  lad  addict 
himselfe  to  song,  if  hee  have  any  voice ;  whereof  I  would  have 
you  and  Mr.  Beaumont  make  some  triall,  and  to  give  mee  some 
account  thereof.  I  have  a  kindnesse  for  the  boy,  and  intend 
when  hee  is  a  better  schollar  to  take  him  into  my  house.  I 
hope  Mr.  Battersby  takes  a  speciall  care  of  him,  as  I  have  de- 
aii^  him.  I  have  received  another  very  long  letter  from  the 
Deane  of  Rippon  since  you  went,  to  the  old  tune,  whereto  I 
shall  retume  no  other  answer  than  I  have  to  his  former  ones. 
With  my  services  to  Mr.  Subdeane  and  all  my  brethren,  I  rest, 

Your  very  affectionate d, 

Denis  Grenvillk.

he  did,  he  would  hardly  passe  muster  so  well  before  my  Lord 

Chief  Justice  as  he  did  before  Judge .    I  have  divers  heads 

dmbenda's  in  reference  to  my  private  afiairs ;  but  the  circum- 
atances.of  this  place  and  my  present  temper  of  mind  (who  have 
as  mnch  reason  to  moume  as  any  man  in  England)  will  not 
permit  me  to  inlarge  on  them,  I  shall  therefore  in  a  postscript 
only  send  you  some  minutes  of  them,  and  rest. 

Your  affectionate  friend, 

Denis  Grenville. 

1.  To  let  Mr.  Wilkinson  know  that  I  have  received  those 
two  letters  wherein  he  desires  to  be  my  malt-man,  and  am  will- 
ing to  gratifye  him  in  buying  my  malt  of  him  sometimes,  when 
he  has  the  best  malt,  and  so  shall  my  nephew  Sir  George 
Wheeler. 

2.  To  examine  the  controversy  betwixt  Mr.  Sisterson  and  Sir 
Edward  Smith's  tennants,  wherein  Mr.  Beaumont  may  be  help- 
foil)  and  80  accommodate  it  according  to  your  best  discretion. 

3.  That  I  received  your  account,  concerning  your  inspection 
into  my  affair  at  Easington,  and  am  very  well  pleased  with  your 
detenrunation. 

4.  That  if  Sir  Christopher  Conyers  do  not  make  some  volun- 
tary application  to  you,  that  you  would,  over  a  while,  make 
wne  application  to  him,  to  receive  an  answere  of  the  affaire  I 
^commended  to  him,  when  he  went  for  the  north  with  Sir 
William  Blacket. 

5.  That  in  case  I  should  draw  a  bill  upon  you,  payable  at 
Kdsumer,  that  you  would  accept  it,  and  take  care  for  the  pay- 
Bwnt  of  the  same,  out  of  the  Pentecost  rents,  which  I  will  not 
4>if  I  can  possibly  avoid  it.

MISCELLANEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  199 


Copy  of  a  letter  from  Mr.  Wilkinson, 

Mb.  Deu^, — Lately  I  have  spoke  with  Mr.  Wilson.  I  perceive 
by  him,  that  you  or  some  body  aoth  thinke  I  have  had  a  great  bar- 
gain of  you,  and  I  hope  it  will  be  so,  but  I  would  have  none  to  thinke 
much  at  it  now,  who  knew  of  its  making,  and  did  not  make  you  a 
better ;  for  if  you  had  dyed  I  had  none  to  make  my  mone  to  for 
iitiafactioD,  but  must  have  armed  my  selfe  with  patience,  so  I  hope 
none  doth  now  thinke  much  because  it  doth  accrew  by  your  living  so 
Ion|^,  whose  life  I  pray  God  long  preserve.  Also  I  perceive  by  Mr. 
Wilson  that  you  are  not  yet  furnished  with  money,  and  if  so  I  is  yet 
in  the  same  mind,  to  give  you  six  years'  purchase  for  your  life,  and  so 
adTmnoe  what  sum  you  have  occasion  for,  provided  I  may  receive  my 
owne  rents.  I  is  told  you  are  about  letting  your  whole  revenue.  If 
jon  do  80, 1  thinke  it  will  be  your  prejudice,  and  his  that  deals  with 
yoo.  But  if  you  will  let  it,  I  can  help  you  to  a  chapman,  who  will 
give  aa  much  and  more  than  any.  If  you  thinke  my  proposalls  your 
conTenienoe,  let  me  know,  and  I  will  order  one  to  treat  with  you  and 
iMiue  joor  selfe  of  the  assistance  of  your  reall  friend  and  servant,

Copy  of  Mr.  Wilson's  reply, 

30  Martifl,  '8}. 

Sim, — Year  kindness  in  sending  me  a  copy  of  Mr.  Wilkinson's 
letter  wil  be  of  great  use  to  me,  as  often  as  I  shall  have  occasion  of 
duooorseing  with  him,  for  I  finde  I  must  take  noe  notice  of  what  he 
■aja,  for  he  was  pleased  to  declare  solemnly,  with  great  protestasions, 
tiuit  his  great  incouragement  to  deale  with  your  honour  was,  that  he 
was  to  receive  his  money  irom  me,  and  that  he  heard  I  had  made  a 
bold  bargain  and  a  verv  hasardous  one,  and  more  to  that  effect,  to  all 
which  his  letter  is  a  designed  and  a  direct  contradiction.  But  my 
bargain  is  to  be  cryed  up  for  a  mighty  great  and  advantagious  bar^ 
gain  on  my  part,  and  that  by  persons  that  ought  to  have  both  more 
wit  and  honesty  than  to  do  it,  for  I  know  they  are  all  ignorant  of 
the  value  of  the  Deanary,  on  which  the  bargain  mainly  depends ;  soe 
that  they  therein  discouer  both  their  folly  and  malice  to  me,  who  had 
noe  designe  in  that  treaty  but  to  serve  your  honour,  and  who,  by 
these  reports,  am  mightily  discouraged  to  meddle  any  further  in  it, 
tho'  I  am  very  willing  to  serve  your  honor,  and  if  you  please  to  in- 
trost  me  to  manage  your  revenue,  if  I  doe  not  make  as  much  of  it  as

that  they  may  be  fre  from  his  disturbance  which  they  say  is  in- 
toUerable.  I  promised  Sir  Edward  this  day  that  I  would  write 
to  you  by  this  post,  and  give  you  Ml  authority  to  let  the  thing 
aoooiding  to  your  discretion,  provided  you  found  Sisterson  as 
onreaBonable  as  they  pretended.  And  if  you  find  him  so  per- 
▼erae,  I  would  have  you  admonish  him  from  me,  and  let  him 
know  I  shall  be  much  dissatisfyed  at  his  deportment. 

I  sent  you  lately  the  Order  of  Councill,  concerning  the  Form 
of  praying  for  the  Royall  Family,  which  I  hope  has  been  ob- 
aenred  in  the  Cathedrall,  and  that  you  have  communicated  the 
•abatanoe  of  the  same  to  all  the  Clergy  throughout  our  Jurisdic- 
tkniy  aooording  to  instructions  I  sent  I)r.  Gartwright. 

Bdl  continues  in  the  Counter  in  lamentable  distresse,  and 
unlesse  you  retume  up  his  last  quarter's  sallery,  I  am  afraid  he 
win  starve  there,  tho'  I  cannot  discover  yet  that  he  is  any  thing 
humbled  thereby.  GKve  my  service  to  Mr.  Subdeane,  and  let 
him  know  that  ^oell  promises  to  order  the  retume  of  the  books 
to  Hutchinson.     Expecting  your  reply  to  my  last,  I  rest, 

Your  affectionate  friend, 

Denis  Grenville. 

Mr.  John  fiasire  was  this  day  marryed  to  my  Lady  Stote.

Copy  of  reply. 

Your  extraordinary  kindeness  you  are  pleased  to  express  in  your's, 
of  the  7th  instant,  does  ingage  me  soe  farr  as  to  resolve  to  submitt  in 
your  affairs  to  greater  hazards  and  difficulties  than  [according  to  the 
rate  of  this  world]  becomes  a  wise  man  to  doe,  yett  [and  thereupon] 
I  am  resolyed,  maugre  all  the  censures  of  all  mankinde,  to  rely  wholly 
upon  the  justice  of  soe  honourable  and  worthy  master,  and  the  kinde- 
ness of  a  new,  but  I  hope,  lasting  patron ;  and  tho*  I  am  bold  in  call- 
ing your  honour  soe,  yett  I  hope  I  shall  soe  manage  myself,  under 
your  countenance  and  favours,  as  if  I  had  them  not  to  that  degree  as 
to  pretend  to  interpose  in  your  councell,  and  soe  take  away  all  occa- 
sion of  the  most  censorious  and  prying  to  thinke  that  ever  your 
honour  is  in  the  least  influenced  by  my  services  in  your  determina- 
tions and  resolves,  except  in  matters  where  the  circumstances  of  the 
caaes  may  make  it  necessary  [requisite]  for  your  ease  to  be  sayd  that 
it  was  done  by  my  advise.  And  [whether  as  steward  or  farmer,  all- 
ways]  shall  stick  close  to  manage  your  revenue  faithfully  to  the  best 
of  my  skill,  the  most  to  your  interest,  both  on  the  paying  and  re- 
oeiveiiig  side,  still  haveing  an  eye  (which  may  displease  [disagreable 
to]  some)  to  your  honour  and  reputation  as  Dean  and  Archdeacon ; 
for  tho'  I  may  be  a  good  steward  without  that,  yet  have  regard  in 
mj  own  oppinion  I  can  never  be  faithtuU  servant  wdthout,  which

MISCELLANEOUS  OOBRESFONDEMCE,   &C.  205 

When  Sir  G.  comes  to  Durham  I  desire  the  D[ean]  of  Rip- 
pon  may  be  summoned  to  Chapter. 

(lodoned,  **  Mr.  Dome.   2lo  Mar.  1684.    To  prepare  the  hoiue  for  Sr.  Geo. 


No.  XXXII. 
From  the  same  to  the  same. 

WhitehaU,  March  24th,  1685. 

}hu  Beoister, 

Sii  George  Wheler  did,  according  to  my  intimation,  set  forth 
yeiterday  towards  Durham,  in  the  York  coach,  with  Tho.  Bla- 
JDstoQ  in  his  company,  whom  I  desire  you  to  be  very  officious 
to  senre  and  advise,  aiter  his  arrival. 

Tour's  of  the in  answer  to  mine  (which  you  think  fit 

to  stfle  a  kind  letter)  I  do  esteem  a  very  kind  answer,  and  do 
retome  you  for  the  same  my  very  reall  thanks.  My  condition 
I  most  confess  dos  require  some  officious  services,  more  than  the 
oidinary  notion  of  prudence  will  allow  of,  and  possibly,  betwixt 
tliig  and  Michaelmas,  more  than  ever  hereafter.  But  there  is  a 
thing  called  ^nerosity  which  is  a  vertue  as  well  as  prudence, 
aod  nowayes  inconsistent  with  what  does  best  deserve  the  name, 
which  will  justifye  a  seasonable  assistance  of  a  person  in  my 
circumstances,  unhappily  plunged  thereinto  not  altogether  by 
my  own  sin,  but  partly  hj  the  ill  management  of  my  agents. 
Tme  glad  to  find  more  of  it  in  you,  that  has  had  no  advantages 
b?  me,  than  in  many  persons  from  whom  I  might  more  reason- 
ably expect  it. 

1  have  at  last  satisfied  Mr.  Ryder,  who  has  supplyed  me  with 
money  to  strike  of  all  those  debts  (except  Capt.  Richardson 
100/.)  which  were  uneasy  or  dishonourable,  so  take  an  assign- 
ment, as  you  advise,  only  with  this  difference,  that  he  will 
allow  me  no  lon^r  time  for  the  payment  thereof  than  Mid- 
WBuner.     But  I  have  not  been  able  to  get  money  enough  to 

£y  of  the  Captain's  hundred,  neither  is  it  possible  for  me,  I 
d  by  a  letter  he  sent  me  last  night,  to  stave  it  of  any  longer. 
Hee  is  civill  to  me,  and  promises  me  ftiture  services,  but  at  this 
time  80  very  importimate  with  me  to  write  to  you  to  pay  his 
money  to  Alderman  Hall  *,  that  it  is  not  possible  for  me  to  deny 

*  Fitbar  ofJonathan  Hall,  D.D.,  Prebendaiy  of  Durham  and  Ractor  of  Cockfield, 
oo.  Sdlblk,  and  ancestor  of  the  Halls  of  Flass,  in  the  cx>unty  of  Durham.

MISCELLANEOUS  (X)RRESPOia)£NC£,   &C.  207 

tjtlis  of  Elmdon  are  let  from  him.  Sisterson  may  have  been 
possibly  somewhat  to  blame,  but  certainhr  Sir  Edward  Smith's 
tenants  do  very  bitterly  oppose  him.  I  do  leave  the  thing 
freely  at  your  dispose,  but  I  desire  that  you  will  take  speciaU 
care  that  he  be  not  really  oppressed.  It  would  trouble  me  to 
hear  the  clamour  of  his  wife  and  children.  And  I  shall  be 
necessitated,  I  fear,  to  add  to  his  sallery  for  their  necessary 
support  Had  it  not  been  for  the  convenience  of  taking  the 
lathes  of  Elmdon  in  kind,  and  the  laboriousnesse  of  his  wife, 
uiey  could  not  have  fed  so  many  mouths  with  20/.  a  year  paid 
by  hand. 

As  fo^  my  course  in  the  Cathedrall,  I  have  depended  on 
Mr.  Subdeane ;  but  in  case  his  indisposition  hinders  him,  I 
Bhoiild  take  it  kindly  if  any  other  Prebend  would  preach  for 
me,  bat  if  none  can  be  got,  I  shall  be  very  well  contented  with 
my  former  substitute,  Mr.  Smith  *,  it  not  being  unreasonable 
that  he  should  rise  with  his  patron,  and  from  a  Prebend's 
deputy  to  become  a  Dean's.  I  dare  venture  him  if  I  were 
a  Wnop,  and  not  suspect  that  I  should  receive  by  him  any 
dtthonour.  I  am  very  much  vexed  my  brother's  operators  at 
Mug^eswick  have  made  such  havock  of  timber  there,  and  much 
the  more  because  they  had  the  impudence  to  pretend  my  autho- 
rity for  the  same.  That  I  should  not  be  forward  to  countenance 
any  abuse  upon  that  account,  you  may  perceive  by  my  former 
order,  concerning  timber,  which  I  sent  downe,  whereto  I  hope 
there  hath  been  had  regard,  tho*  I  did  not  receive  any  reply, 
that  I  do  remember,  to  that  particular,  from  you  or  Mr.  Mor- 
ton.   With  my  service  to  all  my  friends,  I  rest, 

Your  affectionate  friend 

Denis  Grenville. 

For  Mr.  WDiain  Wilaon,

^  It  would  appear  from  this  that  the  Minor  Canons  were  then  occasionally  allowed 
to  oempy  the  cathedral  pnlpit.  Mr.  Smith  would,  most  assuredly,  be  no  discredlt- 
aUe  nbstitate.    See  ante,  p.  204,  note.

MISCBLLANEOUS  OORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  209 

tryally  (which  is  no  small  one)  I  rest,  with  all  imaginable  humi- 
lity, sincerity  and  respect,  (my  lord,) 

Your  Grace's  most  obedient  son  and  faithfull  servant, 

Denis  Grenville. 

BMter  Sre,  1686. 

Postscript. — If  my  late  zeale  against  pulpit  prayers  (whereto 
I  have  be^  an  enemy  throughout  my  wnole.li^)  hath  been  any 
waies  extravagant,  Dr.  Stuart's  little  piece  hath  been  the  chie^ 
occasion  thereof,  and  therefore  I  have  presumed  herewith  to  en- 
close it,  though  probably  your  Grace  has  long  since  perused  it. 

T6  the  iDott  Rarerend  Fftther  in  God,  his  Grace  my  lord  the  Arch-bishop  of  Can- 
tcrlmj,  bunblj  praeent  these. 


rMSS. 
C3div.  104. 

A  hearty  proiegtation  of  my  sineerity  and  integrity,  in  reference  to 
wmf  letterM,  intercepted  and  maliciously  sent  up  to  the  Bishop  of 
JD^mrham,'] 

As  I  do  hope  for  mercy  at  the  day  of  judgment,  and  comfort  from 
the  Holy  Sacrament  of  my  Saviour's  Blessed  Body  and  Blood,  at  this 
high  and  solemne  festi?all  of  our  Lord's  Besurrection,  I  do  solemnly 
protest^  in  the  presence  of  God  and  His  holy  angells,  that  I  did  not 
aeiigse  any  disnonour  or  uneasinesse  to  my  lord  the  Bishop  of  Dur- 
httn,  nor  any  countenance  or  support  of  Dr.  Basire  against  our 
Dioeesan,  (whose  practice  was  for  us  in  this  point  of  Bidding  of 
Prayer,)  but  to  oppose  an  irregular  and  dangerous  practice  of  the 
Vioesr  of  Newcastle,  whose  unptmionable  stiffiiesse  (in  disputing  this 
dctr  dnty  with  his  Archdeacon's  Official!,  in  opposition  and  contempt 
^  not  (mly  the  example  of  his  Diocesan,  the  Deane  and  Prebenda- 
liei,  and  the  whole  Clergy  of  the  Bishoprick  of  Durham,  but  of  the 
sratter,  elder,  and  wiser  part  of  his  owne  brethren  of  Newcastle)  was 
fib  to  be  of  mischievous  consequence  to  the  neighbouring  Clergy  of 
■J  Jurisdiction.    And  that  by  the  private  letter  written  to  Dr.  Ba- 
■ic^  and  intercepted,  (wherein  I  confesse  were  some  unwary  ezpres- 
BOQs  not  fit  for  my  lord  Bishop's  eye)  I  did  not  intend  to  expose  my 
M  &r  ignorance  in  his  rubnck :  meaning  by  that  expression,  that 
his  hriship  tsould  in  short  while  become  a  good  rubrich  man^  no  more 
baft  this; — that  his  lordship,  by  Sir  George  Wheler's  manuscript 
mm  the  rubricks,  and  Dr.  Beveridge's  alK>ut  Bidding  of  Prayer, 
(Doth  which  are  stfll  in  his  lordship's  custody)  would  receive  so  much 
satiifiustion,  as  to  be  of  our  mind :  and  give  no  countenance  to  the 
Vioear  of  Newcastle.    Much  lesse  did  I  make  bold  and  insolent  re- 
flections on  the  prelates  of  the  Church  of  Enghmd,  &c.y  as  pretended

mSCBLLANEOUS  OORRBSFONDENCE,   &C.  211 

Tidence,  to  this  high  and  honourable  station,  which  makes  me 
(m  well  as  an  object  of  envy  to  many)  to  some  an  object  of 
Chris^an  pity  and  charity,  so  as  to  afford  me  a  title  I  hope  to 
their  devotions;  among  which  number  I  please  my  selfe  to 
think  that  your  Grace  may  be  one. 

I  can  say  no  more  for  my  selfe  at  this  my  last  promotion  than 
I  could  at  my  first  entrance  into  the  Church,  namely  that  I  do 
not  now  more  than  ever  discover  in  my  heart  any  evill  desime 
on  the  Church,  nor  any  alteration  in  that  honest  zeale  that 
brought  me  very  early  into  it,  to  give  my  selfe  wholly  up  to  its 
service,  and  to  imploy  all  that  I  have  received,  by  the  good- 
nesBe  of  a  gracious  Master,  to  God's  honour  and  the  advantage 
of  our  established  religion. 

The  evill  designe  of  some  malicious  men,  in  endeavouring  to 
make  a  breach  betwixt  the  Bishop  and  my  selfe,  by  treacher- 
ously intercepting  my  letters,  hath  had  a  contrary  effect ;  my 
lord  having,  after  a  through  inquisition,  and  view  of  the  worst 
of  me,  discovered  me  to  be  no  other  than  an  honest  man,  and 
his  lordship's  hiunble  servant.  Whereto  I  have  great  obliga- 
tioiis,  having  received  extraordinary  expressions  of  favour  from 
my  lord  since  my  arrivall,  as  well  as  mighty  satisfaction  in  his 
Visitation ;  which  his  lordship  has  mannaged  hugely  to  his 
hoDour  and  the  edification  of  us  all. 

Among  many  other  excellent  things  my  lord  of  Durham  hath 
strictly  injoined  us  to  continue  the  celeoration  of  the  Weekly 
Gommunion,  with  jubilation,  (fallen  into  disuse  since  the  deatn 
nf  Bishop  Cosins)  and  to  restore  sermons  on  Wednesdaies  and 
Fridayes  in  Lent  and  Advent,  according  to  the  present  practice 
of  York,  and  antient  nractice  of  this  CiE^thedraU,  and  probably 
of  all  Cathedrall  and  Collegiate  Churches. 

These  worthy  acts  of  my  lord  do  afford  me  great  joy,  and  will 

he,  I  hope,  very  exemplary  to  other  Churches.     Assuring  your 

^  Grace  that  I  shall  not  be  backward  to  concurre  with  his  lord- 

'  ship  to  promote  such  undenyable  good  works,  I  once  more  beg 

^  yoir  Grace's  benediction,  and  rest,  (my  lord,) 

Your  Ghrace's  most  obedient  son  and  humble  servant,

with  all  due  respect,

Mr.  Baker  f  desires  me  to  present  you  with  his  humble  ser-

The  Bishop  of  Vaknce^s  J  speech  to  the  K[ing']  of  Fr[ance'],  att 
Venaillea,  the  14th  July  1685,  attended  by  the  whole  body  of

This  is  the  2d  time  that  I  have  the  honour  to  speak  to  your  Majesty 
in  the  name  of  the  whole  Clergy  of  your  Kingdom.    I  know  not  how 
ifc  comes  to  pass  that  1  find  myseff  this  time  more  surprised,  and 
move  astonisned,  than  I  was  the  last.     I  was  then  to  speak  to  the 
most  formidable  and  the  greatest  King  of  the  earth :  1  still  speak  to 
the  same  King,  but  to  one  who  has  made  l^mself  infinitely  more 
gnat,  infinitely  more  formidable.    This  new  grandeur.  Sir,  is  not  an 
effoet  of  the  number  of  jour  conquests,  nor  of  the  provinces  reduced 
under  jour  obedience,  nor  of  Europe  it  self,  of  which  jou  are  sole 
iriiifcer;  but  proceeds  from  the  zeal  and  the  indefatigable  industry 
wlneh  has  made  jour  Majestj  allwajes  prefer  the  designs  of  convert- 
ing the  Protestans  before  all  humane  considerations  and  all  reasons

MISCELLANEOUS  OORHESFONDENCE,  &C.         215 

as  ihej  weie,  always  found  theyr  laws  too  weak,  and  their  annes  too 

toMOf  to  subdue  and  extinguish  the  monster  of  heresy.    If  they 

were  now  alire,  (I  mean  as  men  capable  of  infermitjs  and  Dassions) 

wbat  thoughts  would  they  have,  what  matter  of  joy  woula  it  be  to 

them,  to  fbd  soe  happy  and  soe  surpriseing  a  change,  how  jealous 

would  they  be  of  their  honours  to  see  that  your  ]\£ije8ty  alone,  in 

80  short  a  time,  should  have  almost  brought  to  perfection  a  work 

which  they  altogether  could  soe  little  advance  in  the  space  of  soe 

many  years  P    What  would  they  say  of  the  penetrating  genius  of 

yoor  Majesty,  so  capable  of  applying  methods,  sometimes  gentle, 

sometimee  harsh,  alwayea  just,  for  increasing  the  empire  of  Jesus 

Christ,  with  what  satis&ction  would  they  see  the  Protestant  religion 

(which  onder  theyr  reigns  was  called  the  religion  of  bold  spirits, 

with  which  the  most  powerful  part  of  the  State,  and  the  best  witts 

of  tiie  Court,  were  generally  infected)  now  contemned,  now  trampled 

on,  DOW  reduced  to  see  it  self  for  ever  abandon'd  by  all  persons  of 

lemnmg  and  reason,  and  all  this  without  violence,  without  armes,  and 

much  less  by  the  power  and  force  of  your  edicts,  than  by  your  own 

exemplary  piety,  with  what  greif  of  mind  would  they  remember  the 

contemptB  offer'd  unto  theyr  authority  ?    How  often  was  it  ques- 

tion*d  and  interrupt'd,  and  subject  to  many  revolutions ;  and  with 

what  wonder  would  they  consider  your  Majesty,  so  simple,  so  ah- 

Kdute,  so  uncontroulable  ?    What  difference  would  they  not  find 

betwixt  the  dismall  troubles  of  those  times  they  liv'd  in,  and  the 

^brious  blessing  of  that  peace,  which  you  doe  not  onely  enjoy  your 

weUf  but  make  the  Church  partake  of  also.     But,  as  if  it  were  not 

hoDDor  enough  for  your  Majesty  to  bring  into  the  bosome  of  the 

Church  80  many  millions  of  mistaken  so^s,  who  have  liv'd  under 

your  own  dominion,  you  generouslly  designed  the  conquests  of  new 

fiovinoes  abroad,  purposely  to  restore  the  office  of  Prelates,  the 

worship  of  Ood,  and  all  Divine  service.     Those  many  victories  you 

Wre  obtain'd,  both  in  Germany  and  Holland,  have  only  serv'd  as  soe 

BMmy  theaters  for  the  triumph  of  Jesus  Christ, — what  ought  we  not 

to  expect  ?    England  it  self  is  upon  the  poynt  to  offer  unto  your 

Mijesty  one  of  the  most  glorious  opportunitys  you  can  desire.    The 

ktvest  and  greatest  of  all  the  monarchs  in  the  world  (before  heaven 

U  ^ven  the  blessing  of  your  Majesty  to  this  earth)  did  onely  wish 

IS  his  cheifest  happiness,  that  he  might  once  in  his  life  meet  vnth  a 

<liQger  worth  exposing  himself  to  it.     The  K[ing]  of  England,  who 

^want  your  help,  and  the  assistance  of  your  armes,  to  maintain 

kimaelf  in  the  Catholic  religion,  will  ere  long  furnish  you  vnth  an 

*«taon  worthy  your  giveing  him  your  protection.    Those  turbulent

WQitbj  80  great  a  King,  and  nothing  of  which  another  ^Ling  was

Sr, — ^I'm  now  to  beff  your  pardon  for  my  *  young '  amanu- 
ensis's  bad  hand,  and  likewise  for  the  mistakes  he  may  have 
made  in  the  transcribing  of  this  Speech.  If  time  wou'd  allow'd 
me,  I  should  have  endeavour'd  to  have  writ  it  over  again,  so  as 
that  it  might  [havej  bin  somewhat  more  legible,  &c.  After  you've 
done  with  it,  1  desire  the  favour  of  you  as  that  you'l  please  to 
let  your  brother  Basire  have  the  perusal  of  it,  if  he  be  at  Dur- 
ham. I'm  uncertain  where  he  resides ;  having  not  heard  from 
him  flinoe  my  cominfffrom  Durham.  I'm  now  and  always,  Sir,

No.  XXXVII. 


Rbcbift  from  Dean  Granville  to  Rob.  Delaval,  Esq.  for 
Altar  Plate  lent  to  the  Cathedral  by  order  of  the 
Bishop  of  Durham  f. 

I  Dennis  Granvill,  Doctor  of  Divinity,  and  Deane  of  Durham, 
doe  acknowledge  myselfe  to  have  received  the  day  of  the  date* 

^  Tldi.  Speech  seems,  not  without  reason,  to  have  made  a  great  sensation  in  Eng- 
W.  Bve^  mentions  in  his  Diary  that  he  had  been  shown  **  the  harangue  whidi 
fte  BUiop  of  Valentia  on  the  Rhone  made  in  the  name  of  the  deargie,  celebrating 
te  fkvneh  King  as  if  he  was  a  god  for  persecuting  the  poore  Protestants ;"  and  ex- 
pBHes  great  surprise  at  the  sUenoe  of  the  Gazettes  with  regard  to  the  sufferings 
vltii  bad  been  inflicted  on  them. 

t  The  date  of  this  paper  is  not  giren,  but  may  probably  be  assigned  to  this 
piod.  Mr.  Ddaral  was  Biayor  of  Durham  from  1686  to  1689.  He  was  son  of 
noBMS  DdaTal,  of  Hetton-le-Hole,  Esq.,  who  was  a  younger  son  of  Sir  Ralph 
I^iknl,  of  Seaton  DelaTal,  co.  Northumberland,  Knt.  The  document  is  some- 
^v^  carious  as  showing  what  were  then  regarded  as  necessary  appendages  of 
^  Lord's  Table,  eren  when  required  only  as  a  temporary  provision.  It  will 
^  obsenred  that  CwndUtHckt  are  included.  The  follo#ing  letter  from  the 
Mop  of  Lincoln  to  Sancroft,  who  was  then  Dean  of  St.  Paul's,  (Tanner  MSS. 
^'  42.)  bears  upon  the  subject  of  that  particular  adjunct,  and  also  upon  another 
•«s<f  puttiio  of  the  present  day.  « 1668,  Oct.  27.  I  hare  a  greater  trouble  to 
8^  yon,  wfaidi  you  will  recdye  firom  my  secretary,  Mr.  Symmonds,  now  in  London.

unto,  (ocmoeming  one  partictilar)  I'll  assure  you  that  what  I 
ba^e  to  dispose  of^  is  much  at  your  service.  So  if  Mr.  Deane 
payes  the  small  debt  which  he  owes,  you  may  take  of  it  what 
Toa  please,  part  or  all,  and  leave  onely  a  note  of  it  to  me,  in  the 
hanoB  of  lu*.  Wilson.  I  am  sorry  to  heare  of  too  much  fer- 
mmtation  between  the  Bishop  and  the  Deane.  I  doubt  the 
two  new  Counsellours,  who  they  say  succeed  Wilson,  shall  in- 
flame it.^  However,  I  am  sure  that  as  soone  as  one  of  them 
oomeB  in,  your  honest  brother  shall  have  this  reflection  cast 
iroon  him,  that  he  keeps  not  his  word,  by  which  he  engaged  to 
tne  Bishop,  when  he  was  helped  by  him  to  the  Deanery,  that 
none  of  that  name,  B.  should  com  neare  him  at  it.     Beati  pact- 

/let.    Sir,  you  may oblige  a  good  man  by  a  seasonable 

word;  and  I  wish  myselfe  at  Durham,  to  contribute  to  my 
worthy  ....  honorable  friend  somwhat  more  effectually,  and 
more  seasonably  then  by  writing,  but  the  poste  is  going,  and  the 
other  poste  could  not  find  y  .  .  at  Durham.  With  my  respects 
to  my  Lady,  I  am. 

Your  most  faithfull  servant,

cwffit  of  my  perfect  recovery,  and  that  I  am  at  present  in  as

^wmld  have  bin  at  my  arrival  to  informe  you  of  my  indisposi- 
tion ;  which  proved  to  be  a  pleurisie,  (as  Dr.  Needom  told  me) 
fcot  with  seasonable  bleeding  and  a  clyster  soon  past  over. 

As  to  the  busines  of  my  Jurisdiction,  I  went  yesterday  to  Doctors' 
Commous,  stated  my  case,  and  shall  have  the  best  judgments 
ftcpeon  that  can  be  gotten  there  by  tomorrow  night.  For  God 
•ke,  do  your  part,  faithfully  to  support  and  maintaine  my 
Jurisdiction,  by  all  legall  and  justitiable  wayes,  and  I  do  assure 
you  I  shall  not  fail  to  support  and  maintain  you  in  all  such 
pooeedings. 

My  lord  of  Durham  going  out  of  town  before  I  got  abroad,  I

MISCELLANEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  227 

As  conoeming  Fiahlake  I  must  give  you  the  same  answer  that 

I  give  others,     rf^ee  have  establish't  a  rule  in  the  disposal  of 

our  livings.     First,  to  provide  for  the  members  of  our  Body : 

2ndly,  the  Dean  and  Prebends'   Curates:   3rdly,  the  Viccars 

of  our  own  Jurisdiction :  and  I  wish  all  persons  did  know  this 

our  resolution,  that  they  might  not  put  in   for  our  livings, 

which  are  too  few  and  too  mean  to  accomodate  those  that  doe 

depend  on  us.     In  a  word,  there  being  never  a  Petty-Cannon 

that  I  can  foresee  will  put  in  for  it,  of  those  who  have  served 

ibe  Church  long  enough  to  pretend  to  a  Hving,  I  have  already 

iMnmnated  Maurice  Lisle  *,  and  desire  my  brethren  to  concurre 

with  me  in  the  same.     He  has  been  a  great  while  a  Preist,  and 

MBiovided  for,  and  has  received  late  promises  from  the  Church 

to  be  kind  to  him,  upon  another  vacancy. 

I  hear  a  good  report  of  the  person  you  intercede  for,  from 
Dr.Qower.  1  believe  him  a  hopefull  young  man,  but  yet  all  the 
while  he  is  but  a  young  man,  and  may  stay,  for  any  thing  I  can 
discover,  till  his  seniors  are  provided  for.  If  he  expects  prsofer- 
nwnt  from  the  Church  of  Durham,  let  him  first  be  a  member  of 
the  Body,  which  I  shall  be  willing  to  admit  him  to  be  upon  a 
▼Mancy,  provided  he  can  make  it  appear  that  he  is  qualified  for 
the  same. 

My  brother  Granville,  and  all  his  generation,  and  all  my  re- 
h^m,  I  thank  God,  are  in  good  health  ;  several  of  whom  give 
yoo  their  himible  service.     This  is  all  at  present  but  that  I  am, 

Your  affectionate  freind  and  servant, 

Denis  Granville. 

My  service  to  Mrs.  Cradock.  One  Mr.  Harrison,  who  saies 
he  18  your  nephew,  being  outed  of  my  Lord  Dartmouth's  Regi- 
nwit,  came  to  my  brother,  and  desired  him  to  speak  in  his 
Wialfe  to  his  lordship,  who  for  his  uncle's  sake  will  serve  him  in 
the  best  manner  he  is  capable,  this  camp[aign.] 

*  Maarioe  Liflle  became  Vicar  of  Fishlake  accordingly,  and  appears  from  the  Re- 
ihtoBtohave  remained  there  antil  1695.  He  died  Vicar  of  Kildiale  in  1719.  Soon 
lAer  Us  coming  to  Fiahlake  he  had  a  son  bom  to  him,  whom  he  names  Denyt,  with 
*  gntefol  feeling,  doubtless,  towards  the  Dean,  by  whose  patronage  he  had  been 
And  there.  At  the  Visitation  of  IG91  we  find  him  presenting  *'John  Rhodra, 
viitiiig  master,  for  teaching  school  upon  the  30th  of  January,  and  for  publick  teach- 
-in the  free  Bchoole  upon  Candlemas  day,  in  time  of  Divine  Seryioe,  forenoone  and 
jAcnoone,  keeping  the  youths  from  coming  to  be  catechized  at  the  church,  and  by 
*<>Uly  boasting  that  he  will  doe  this  in  spite  of  the  Minister,  and  that  he  values  not  a 
pBMotment,  and  hereby  bath  made  the  young  people  neglect  coming  to  be  catechized 
OBholydayes  as  they  used  to  doe."  This  celebration  of  Divine  Service  upon  Holy- 
«fi,  both  morning  and  afternoon,  in  the  church  of  a  small  country  parish,  and  the 
ittntion  evidently  paid  to  catechizing,  are  neither  of  them  unworthy  of  note,  as  in- 
vcitioDa  of  the  practice  of  churchmen  at  that  period.

Gkid's  deputy,  to  incapacitate  him  to  hurt  either  my  life,  estate, 
or  religion.  Fie  leave  them  in  his  power,  as  God  has  done  :  if 
the  Kmg  goes  beyond  his  commission,  he  must  answer  for  it  to 
God,  but  I  le  not  deface  any  one  line  tiereof.  Let  my  liege  and 
dread  SoYcraign  intend  to  do  what  he  pleases  to  me  or  mine,  yet 
my  hand  shall  never  be  upon  him,  so  much  as  to  cut  of  the  skirt 
of  his  garment. 

In  this  Magna  Charta  aim'd  at  by  the  King  for  establishing 
his  Dedaraticm,  our  religion  will  be  established  in  the  first  place, 
and  others  incapacitated  to  hurt  us  as  much  as  we  to  hurt  them. 
And  if  we  can't  be  put  into  better  circumstances  without  resist- 
ing the  Kin^  in  lawful  commands,  there  is  no  remedy,  but 
Christian  patience.     A  half  loaf  is  better  than  no  bread. 

I  am  now  much  censured  at  present,  but  I  censure  my  cen- 
surers  more  for  their  semi-loyalty,  which  is  that  which  now 
portends  most  dreadfiilly.  Let  us  do  our  duty,  and  leave  God 
to  maintain  his  own  cause.  Never  do  evil  that  good  may  come 
ofU.     I  rest,  with  my  service  to  Mrs.  Limiley, 

Your  very  affectionate  friend  and  brother, 

Denis  Granville.

to  mee.  I  lieaie  Mr.  Graham  *  is  going  away  againe  (tho'  I  did 
not  80  much  as  see  him  on  Saturday)  but  I  pray  secure  his  con- 
sent to  the  late  proceeding  before  hee  goes. 

If  you  cannot  come  over  againe,  signify  to  Mr.  Bowes  that 
he  must  send  over  this  evening,  by  Luke,  my  gelding  for  me  to 
come  in  tomorrow.     I  rest. 

Your  very  affectionate  freind, 

Denis  Granville. 

You  need  [^nof]  mention  my  coming ;  least  imnecessary  appli- 
cations steall  away  my  time  from  my  buisnesse  of  moment. 

I  pray  send  me  6  if  not  a  dozen  bottells  of  claret  by  Luke.  I 
like  not  Simpson's  claret.     Bee  you  my  taster.

Mr.  Register, 

Tho'  I  declared  to  you  last  night,  that  I  was  in  charity  with 
Dr.  Bagshaw  t,  and  could  exercise  an  act  of  discipline,  before  a 
Sacrament,  without  breach  of  my  Christian  duty,  (as  well  as  a 
Judge  pronoimce  sentence)  yet  the  better  to  remove  this  re- 
proach, (cast  on  the  Deane  by  a  member  in  unbecoming  man- 
ner) I  do  once  more  declare  to  you,  our  publick  officer,  (and  I 
pray  take  notice  of  the  same  for  my  justification)  that  I  am  in 
Christian  charity,  and  beare  no  malice  to  him  or  his ;  but  shall 
hee  ready  to  do  him  or  them,  all  the  kindnesses  or  civilities 
which  they  shall  bee  capable  to  receive  from  mee.     But  let  not

From  the  same  to  Dr.  William  Beveridge,  Archdeacon  of 
Colchester,  &c. 

Bkverend  and  worthy  Brother, 

There  was  nothing  touched  my  soxd  more  sensibly  that  re- 
garded my  own  particular,  and  the  late  deplorable  defection  of 
the  Church  of  England  Clergy,  than  being  depriv'd  of  so  great 
a  treasure  as  the  friendship  of  so  pious,  so  conformable,  and  so 
learned  a  Divine  as  yourself;  whose  eminent  example,  edifying 
conversation,  and  communicative  disposition,  I  esteem'd  as  the 
greatest  happiness  of  my  life ;  and  which  taught  me  so  many 
good  and  holesom  lessons  of  pietie  and  devotion,  for  the  better 
regulating  of  my  life  and  offices :  that  as  I  am  troubled  above 
measure  wv  my  loss,  so  am  I  more  astonish'd  at  your  complying, 
than  at  all  other  men's. 

After  the  decease  of  those  venerable  prelates,  who  initiated  me 
into  the  Church,  I  comforted  myself  in  that  great  blessing 
which  Providence  had  bestow'd  on  me,  to  supply  the  want  of 
that,  (I  mean  your  acquaintance)  since  I  discem'd  the  good 
order  and  zeal  of  those  great  churchmen  live  in  you ;  the  fruits 
of  which  had  rendered  your  congregation  (I  think  no  ecclesiastic 
aijouT  citie  will  be  ofi&nded  if  I  say  it)  the  most  exemplary  in 
London. 

When  I  was  censur'd,  and  somewhat  reproach'd,  by  any  of 
my  negligent  brethren,  (which  was  often  my  fate)  for  thinlang 
myself  obliged  to  discharge  and  execute  my  offices  according  to 
nue,  rather  than  by  the  opinion  of  people,  (which  they  call 
imgularity)  I  supported  myself  that  I  had  both  the  example 
and  approbation  of  one  great  and  good  man  to  countenance  me 
in  the  performance  of  the  chief  and  most  important  duties  of  my 
calling,  even  in  the  citie  of  London;  where  conformity  was 
more  difficultly  practicable,  as  well  as  more  necessary,  than  in 
any  part  of  the  nation. 
As  I  had  the  honour  to  receive  Holy  Orders  with  you,  from

MISCELLANEOUS   OOBRESPONDENCE,  &0.  237 

inJQgtioey  Qod  be  praised,  none  can  charge  on  yon.  ThougH 
ywff  temper  permitts.  you,  it  seems,  to  renounce  your  allegiance 
to  your  mwnil  Prince,  and  to  swear  obedience  to  an  usurper, 
(any  leaaon  for  doing  whereof  I  cannot  yet  discover ;)  yet  you 
dare  not,  it  seems,  enter  into  the  possessions  of  another  man ; 
the  mtdligence  whereof  I  receive  with  much  joy  and  satis- 
iction*. 

This  makes  me  hope  that  what  you  have  done,  you  have  done 
in  integrity  of  heart ;  and  if  so,  I  persuade  myself  that  the 
wnniacient  God  will  be  so  mercifid  to  you  as  to  open  your  eyes 
that  you  may  in  due  season  discern  your  error,  and  the  evill  con- 
aeqnences  thereof,  and  endue  you  with  grace  and  courage  (as 
you  are  well  read  in)  to  imitate  S.  Augustin ;  even  openly  to 
confess  and  retract  what  you  have  done  to  the  injury  of  your 
own  Boul,  and  the  betraying  of  others,  not  only  m  your  own 
flock  and  jurisdiction,  but  throughout  all  England ;  since  such 
an  example  (as  that  of  Dr.  Beveridge)  ought  greatly  to  sway 
the  people  of  the  nation. 

This  were  a  great  and  noble  undertaking,  to  open  and  clear 
the  way  to  so  good  a  work  as  the  reducine  misled  and  seduced 
pet^Ie :  and  there  is  no  man  I  can  think  of,  that  can  be  the 
first  mover  in  this  Christian  enterprise  with  more  probable 
woceas  than  you;  who  are  qualified  with  great  learning, 
courage,  piety  and  prudence,  indefatigable  in  the  execution  of 
Tour  office  ;  and  of  so  exemplary  a  modesty  and  humility  as  to 
oe  belov'd  of  all  that  know  you,  and  of  a  multitude  that  never 
•aw  you. 

Leap  forth  then,  in  the  name  of  God,  and  lead  on  your 
brethren,  (and  I  am  perswaded  that  a  considerable  nimiber  will 
Wlow  you)  in  this  excellent  attempt  to  redeem  our  oppressed 
^w  subjects  out  of  an  insupportable  slavery,  spirituail  and 
temporal :  the  groaning  under  which  renders  tnem  an  object  of 
ptie,  and  the  willing  submitting  thereto  the  scorn  and  contempt 
rfall  Europe. 

I  conjure  you  by  all  that  is  sacred,  faithfully  to  consult  God 
uid  your  own  soul,  and  not  to  give  ear  to  flesh  and  blood  in  this 
matter,  which  is  likely  to  suggest  to  you  as  false  means  and 
courses  to  support  you  in  your  present  evil  way,  as  they  did  at 
firat  to  draw  you  tnereinto,  under  colour  of  preservation  of  our 
fdigion,  which  hath  been  more  deeply  woimded  by  the  un- 
justifiable proceedings  of  the  late  pretended  champions  thereof, 
^  it  ever  was  by  all  its  enemies  ;  or  coidd  have  been  by  the 

^  It  will  be  remembered  that  Beveridge  refused  the  see  of  Bath  and  Wells,  of 
*^  be  bdiered  Ken  was  still  the  Uwfol  Bishop.

ignorant  of  your  s^t^at  qualifications,  and  cannot  pretend  to 
equal  you  in  any  of  them.  All  that  I  shall  vie  with  you  in,  is 
vol  far  the  truths  and  Umlty  to  my  Saverain.  And  this  puts  me 
under  a  necessary  obligation  to  endeavour  the  reduction  of  so 
good  and  considerable  a  Mend,  whom,  if  I  cannot  restore  b^ 
my  advice  or  persuasions,  I  shall  never  cease  to  endeavour  it 
by  mv  praiers;  and  if  you  be  powerfully  and  irresistibly  at- 
tack'd  by  such  a  violence  as  it  is  lawful  to  use  against  Heaven

CorbeU,  No?.  20,  1702. 

So  soon  as  I  received  on  the  ninth  instant  yours  of  the  first  of 
last  month,  at  my  return  home,  with  a  seasonable  supply  of  20/. 
I  hastened  away  a  letter  of  thanks  calcxdated  for  the  view  of  the 
administrator,  as  you  hinted,  and  written  as  well  as  I  could  in 
eyill  humour  and  circumstances ;  and  I  desim'd  very  speedily 
after  to  have  written  you  for  your  own  eye  a  large  one  with  re- 
flections on  a  multitude  of  things  which  much  trouble  my  mind, 
relating  to  my  present  and  future  circumstances,  as  well  as  past 
ones,  ^ut  having  but  lately  recovered  my  eyes  spoil'd  by  over 
imploying,  and  lost  my  secretary,  for  ...  .  expedition  the  first 
day  alter  my  arrival,  when  I  had  more  business  of  writing  on 
my  hands  than  I  could  go  thorow,  I  have  delay'd  post  after 

r)6t,  (having  you  know  too  dilatory  a  nature)  till  this  day,  when 
set  myself  in  a  posture  to  write  you  a  terrible  long  letter,  with 
minutes  before  me  containing  matter  enough  to  fill  three  or  four 
aheets,  and  had  very  likely  occasion'd  you  the  trouble  of  perusing 
at  least  a  couple.  JBut  I  am  likely  to  be  prevented,  by  a  new 
infinoity  I  begin  to  feel  in  my  body,  from  finishing  and  sending

MISCELLANEOUS  CORRESPONDENCE,   &C.  241 

trersion  to  all  disputes,  and  take  no  poste  willingly  but  that  of 
tn  inquirer,  asking  questions ;  and  if  they  let  me  alone  here,  I 
am  hard  enouc^h  S>r  them  all,  since  a  fool  can  ask  more  ques- 
tions than  a  wise  man  can  answer.  This  intercourse  that  is  un- 
happily begun  betwixt  me  and  Eoman  priests  here  and  else- 
where, is  not  like  I  am  afraid  to  conclude,  though  I  add  no  Aiel 
to  their  fire,  but  labour  to  extinguish  their  zeal.  And  my  trouble 
is  much  increased  by  a  necessity  of  keeping  copies  of  all  I  write ; 
and  to  copy  fair  my  own  writings,  which  are  horridly  blotted 
and  interhn'd,  is  death  to  me,  or  at  best  it  extreamly  hurts  my 
eyes.  This,  with  the  personal  application  by  way  of  letters, 
which  hath  been  long  mcumbent  on  me,  to  my  scattered,  scam- 
Uing,  and  sometimes  scabby  sheep,  together  with  other  neces- 
sary writing,  relating  to  my  study,  as  well  as  temporall  afiairs, 
creates  an  absolute  necessity,  for  the  comfort  of  my  life  and  pre- 
servation of  my  health,  to  procure  some  person  to  live  with  me, 
that  is  able  to  discharge  the  office  of  an  amanuensis,  and  \mder- 
stands  French  and  English,  as  well  as  Latin,  and  becomes  more 
necessary  to  me  than  to  most,  because  I  have  an  incurable  in- 
firmity of  prolixity  in  all,  even  my  best  writings,  if  any  deserve 
the  name ;  and  to  analize  and  abridge  would  be  alone  great 
service  to  me.  Your  godson,  as  well  as  my  old  amanuensis 
Dr.  Smith,  had  a  special  talent  of  doing  this,  I

L    Apbil  9,  1662.     Iitfobmatioks  given  to  Doctob  Babibs, 

AbCHDEACON   of   NOBTHUMBEBLAIfD,   BY   80MB   OP   THE  ClEBODS 
OF   THAT  AbCHDEACOKBIE  *. 

I.  That  the  papists  of  late  have  taken  such  boldnes  that  in  severall 
places  of  that  Archdeaconrie  masses  are  openly  and  publiquely  saide, 
and  warning  given  to  the  people  to  come  thereto.  As  was  done  on 
Easter's  day  last  in  the  towne  of  Duddoe,  within  the  parish  of  Nor- 
bam,  where  there  was  publique  mass  and  preaching  and  the  people 
inyited  thereunto.  Memorandum,  that  at  the  chappie  of  Eslinton 
masse  is  publicly  said  every  Sunday  at  Mr.  Greorge  Colingwood's. 

n.  That  there  is  a  great  need  of  a  visitation  of  the  churches  in 
these  northern  parts,  many  of  them  being  eyther  altogether  unpro- 
vided of  Ministers,  or  provided  with  auch  as  are,  in  effect,  noe  minis- 
ters ;  and  are  soe  farr  from  conformeing,  themselves,  that  they  preach 
against  those  that  are  conformed,  and  intrude  themselves  upon  their 
charge,  by  baptizeing  children  and  marryeing  the  persons  of  such  as 
are  enemies  to  the  orders  of  the  Church  of  England.  And  likewise 
the  fabricks  of  many  Churches  and  Chappells  are  altogether  ruinous 
and  in  great  decay,  and  cannott  be  gotten  repaired  without  Visita- 
tions. Besides,  in  many  churches  there  be  neyther  Bibles,  Books  of 
Common-prayer,  Surplisses,  Fonts,  Communion-tables,  nor  any  thing 
that  is  necessarie  for  the  service  of  Ood.  Nor  will  the  Church- 
wardens (not  being  yett  swome)  contribute  any  assistance  for  the 
supply  of  those  defects.  In  all  which  respects  there  is  great  neces- 
sitie  of  Visitations,  soe  soone  as  convenyently  may  be. 

in.  In  respect  that  by  the  King  and  Parliament  there  be  two 
Anniversarie-daies  appointed  to  be  kept,  vizt.  the  zxxth  of  January 
and  zxizth  of  May,  and* that  there  is  noe  order  as  yet  come  to  these 
northeren  parts  how  the  same  shalbe  kept,  nor  are  the  books  ap- 
pointed for  that  purpose  here  to  be  gotten.     My  lord  Bishop  of 

*  From  Dr.  Hunter's  Collection  of  MSS.  (ii.  68),  in  the  libruy  of  the  Detn  and 
Chapter  of  Durham.

APPENDIX.  261 

Ifi.  We  oannoi  make  any  lease  for  lives,  it  being  against  our 
fltfttutes. 

2iid.  For  21  years  we  have  not  taken  4  years  value  of  any  tenants, 
of  many  not  3,  and  of  some,  and  they  not  a  few,  not  2  yeares  value, 
if  their  farmes  be  iustly  rated.  Where  any  of  our  tenants  have  com- 
plained that  their  farmes  were  over-rated  by  us,  we  have  put  it  to 
them  to  rate  their  own  farmes  and  to  set  their  own  fines ;  promising 
tbem  either  leases  for  such  fines  as  they  themselves  should  set,  or  to 
give  them  soe  much  if  they  would  quietly  quit  their  farmes  and  leave 
us  to  find  other  tenants.  Which  ofiers  we  have  made  them,  not  in 
consideration  of  any  right  they  have  in  their  farmes,  they  being  all 
leaseholders,  and  their  leases  expir'd,  but  in  consideration  of  the 
great  oppressions  they  have  endur'd,  during  the  late  troubles.  And 
wbere  ther  is  not  enough  to  be  discounted  for  their  purchases,  by 
lesson  their  leases  are  but  lately  expir'd,  we  have  not  demanded  soe 
much. 

Wbera  leases  were  made  to  any  of  them  in  the  year  1643  which 
are  not  yet  expir'd,  or  but  very  lately,  we  have  demanded  but  litle 
more  then  one  year's  value  for  a  new  lease,  and  /)f  some  of  them 
not  soe  much,  and  soe  proportionably  for  other  leases  but  lately 
ezmr'd. 

^or  manv  leases  of  houses  in  Durham,  and  olher  things  of  small 
ndne,  which,  being  very  many,  make  up  a  considerable  part  of  our 
rerenne,  we  have  made  many  leases  without  demanding  any  fme  of 
BOtAk  as  were  either  poor,  or  had  suffer' d  much  in  the  late  troubles, 
or  were  related  to  the  Church,  and  of  others  of  them  a  small  matter 
towards  the  furnishing  our  Library  with  bookes. 

To  the  Qusre  what  necessary  repayres  are  yet  to  be  taken  care 
finr,  and  what  they  will  amount  unto  ? 

1.  For  houses  for  our  Petty-Canons,  Schoolmaster  and  Usher, 
tiieir  must  be  new  houses  built,  the  old  being  quite  demolish'd. 
2.  For  fineshing  our  Quire,  upon  which  we  have  many  dayly  at 
warke.  3.  For  building  a  new  font,  suteable  to  that  which  was 
destroy'd  by  the  Scots.  4.  For  a  new  pulpit.  5.  For  the  front  of 
oar  Quire  toward  the  Church.  G.  For  glazing  twoe  windowes  in  a 
place  cal'd  the  9  altars,  behind  the  Quire,  one  great  window  on  the 
north  side,  and  one  round  window  with  painted  glasse  at  the  east 
end.  7.  For  lead  worke  and  timberwork  about  some  turrets  upon 
the  top  of  the  Church.  8.  For  mending  the  pavement  of  the  Church 
and  Quire.  For  all  these,  and  some  other  things  which  we  intend 
to  doe,  we  conceive  the  charge  will  amount  unto  3000/. 

We  have  not  put  upon  this  accompt,  1.  What  we  have  allready 
expended,  and  what  we  must  yet  expend  to  maintain  the  rights  of 
our  Church.  2.  What  any  of  us  have  privately  given  to  any  pious 
or  charitable  uses.  3.  What  is  expedient,  though  not  soe  necessary, 
toward  the  repayrin^  of  some  decayes  in  our  Church,  which  we  know 
not  whether  we  shaU  be  able  to  undertake. 

Since  the  coming  of  the  present  Dean,  Mich.  1661,  we  have  had

at  home^  or  hj  others  abroad,  or  bj  his  sacred  Majestie  when  he 
shall  know  of  it 

Their  answer  concerning  sacbutts  and  cometts  is  extrinsecall  to 
tiie  inqoiiTy  thongh  the  Bishop  likes  them  Tery  well,  haying  been 
eatsbUshea  in  his  time  when  he  was  Prebendary  heretofore. 

They  confesse  they  want  a  School-master,  and  rely  for  the  present 
upon  a  probationer,  by  whose  unfitness  to  teach,  and  to  goyeme  the 
achoole,  most  men  haye  taken  away  their  children  firom  it.  The 
Cookes!  places  granted  nnder  the  Chapter  seale  as  patents*  (in 
whose  time  soeyer)  are  against  statute  and  ought  to  be  yoyded  by 
course  of  law. 

If  the  present  Deane  and  Chapter  grant  no  offices  with  patent, 
Qoare,  What  becomes  of  their  Stewuxl*s  office?  And  what  will 
become  of  their  Begister's  office,  if  it  should  fall  yoyd  in  their  time, 
wherein  no  man  will  serye  them  without  a  patent  P 

2d  Title.     Concerning  the  Deane. 

The  answers  to  the  2d,  3d,  and  4th  Articles  concerning  the  Deane 
eonfesse  that  there  is  yet  no  sunrey  made  of  the  lands  belonging  to 
the  Chnrch,  which  they  fey  cannot  yet  bee  fully  discoyered.  In  the 
mean  while,  of  those  that  are  already  discoyered,  why  is  not  the 
mmrej  made  and  recorded  ?  The  seryice  is  not  yet  performed  so 
often  in  the  Quire  as  it  was  before.  The  song  bookes  are  torn  and 
not  renewed.  The  Lectome  and  Litany-desk  are  meane  and  un- 
oomely.  The  Aitar  is  cloathed  with  course  countrey  cloath.  The 
Treasory  and  Begistry  are  undigested  into  order.  The  inyentory  of 
goods  belonging  to  the  Church  is  not  yet  perfected  &c.  The  floor 
€^  the  Chnrch  is  broken.  The  tombs  of  benefactors  are  left  broken. 
The  north  door,  and  the  jammes  of  the  windowes  without  are  plais- 
tered  np  with  morter.  The  Church-yard  wall  is  not  repaired,  but 
left  open  to  annoyance,  &c.  The  pinacles  aswell  at  the  east  as  west 
end  of  the  Church,  and  on  the  north  side  thereof,  are  not  repaired. 
All  the  other  particulars  mentioned  in  the  Articles,  they  say  joyntly, 
are  well  performed;  which  had  been  enough  to  say  in  answer  to 
those  Articles  concerning  the  Deane.  The  rest  of  the  answers  here 
are  onely  declamatory  commendations  of  his  understanding,  and  his 
yigilant  care  in  managing  of  seyerall  suites  at  law  and  chancery 
against  refractory  tenants,  and  of  his  yindicating  this  Church  into 
more  fireedome  than  it  had  for  these  hundred  yeares  and  upwards ; 
which  freedome  is  not  explained,  and  therefore  cannot  be  understood 
by  the  Yisitour  what  is  meant  by  it,  unlesse  they  meane  their  free- 
dome  from  paying  the  King  any  subsidy,  or  from  repayring  the 
"Bishop's  seat  in  his  Consistory,  as  they  haye  done  his  seat  in  the 

^  If  thej  cannot  remedy  this  without  law,  the  law  may  be  prosecuted  against 
them,  aaweU  as  against  their  refractory  tenants ;  and  against  their  tenants  they  have 
proceeded  by  law.    Why  not  against  these  ? — Margimai  note.

APPENDIX.  265 


6th  Title,     Concerning  Divine  Offices. 

They  answer  here  that  all  is  well.  They  referr  to  the  statute 
which  they  conceive  impowers  the  Deane  to  order  the  times  and 
pboes  of  flill  Divine  offices,  according  to  his  owne  prudence,  without 
taking  any  notice  of  the  Bishop's  power,  to  whom  this  prudence  of 
the  Deane  is  subordinate,  and  subject  to  inquiry,  whe'ther  he  pro- 
ceeds 9eeundmn  regulas  prudentue,  or  no,  wherein  they  are  all  bound 
hj  an  oath  to  obey  the  Bishop,  as  hee  shall  see  cause  to  require 
uem.  They  say  that  some  among  the  Prebendaries  weare  not 
hooda  answerable  to  their  degrees,  but  they  do  not  specify  who  these 
Prebendaries  are.  They  say  that  their  studies  and  meditations  hinder 
them  from  coming  to  the  Quire  service  so  often  as  otherwise  they 
would  do,  and  that  they  have  not  herein  looked  upon  the  practice  of 
their  predecessors,  which  might  be  various  and  not  imitahle^  words 
Toy  obscure  to  the  Bishop.  They  referr  to  the  Chappell  Bojall  for 
th^  patteme,  and  to  other  Cathedrall  Churches,  where,  if  any  thing 
be  amissOy  they  have  no  rule  nor  reason  to  follow  it. 

*lth  Title.     Concerning  thefahrick  of  the  Church, 

Here  is  a  long  narration  made  of  the  workmen  whom  they  have 
inmbyed,  first  by  day- wages,  and  afterwards  by  the  great,  which  they 
■till  continue  to  do ;  reserving  as  they  sa^  sufficient  money  to  pay 
them,  but  to  what  summe  that  money  anseth  they  say  not,  nor  to 
what  Bomme  the  repairs  which  are  yet  to  be  made,  and  injoyned  by 
tbe  Visitor,  will  amount,  upon  a  view  that  should  have  been,  and 
ought  to  be,  taken  thereof,  by  the  severall  and  respective  workmen. 
^  inhabitants  of  the  City,  neighbours  and  strangers,  many  of  them 
find  as  much  fault  with  the  patching  of  the  Church  with  course 
BKnter  and  lime  upon  the  asler  work  without,  and  the  broken  pave- 
ments within,  with  many  other  defects  there,  aswell  as  some  of  those 
P^nona  do  commend  what  is  well  done  alr^uly.  But  these  things 
•''B  to  be  referred  to  the  view  and  consideration  of  the  Bishop,  and 
^  to  strangers  and  neighbours  of  the  city.  What  those  things  are 
vhich  they  hope  the  Bishop  will  not  presse  upon  them,  or  what  their 
Wttona  are  against  them,  they  do  not  specify.  Although  they  be 
giurdians  of  the  Church,  yet  they  must  give  the  Bishop  leave  to  be 
their  Overseer  •  (and  that  in  a  higher  sence  then  what  is  specifyed 
in  Mr.  Dalton's  Justice  of  Peace)  and  if  he  findeth  any  thing  de- 
fecttreto  have  it  supplyed  and  amended,  for  this  belongeth  to  his 
jnriadiction  over  them,  which  he  is  bound  to  preserve,  and  must  give 
>n  aooount  thereof  to  Ood  and  the  King  and  to  his  owne  conscience, 
-^gsinst  the  sacrilegious  persons,  in  all  these  five  yeares  they  confesse 

*  It  is  th6  GMe  of  all  other  Rectors  and  Churches  in  the  Diooes.— Ifor^tMi

APPENDIX.  267 


VHh  TUle.    Ckmceming  the  keeping  of  Chapteri,  and  Acts  of 
yiiitations. 

Wbat  the  lawfull' impediments  are  whj  a  Chapter  is  not  kept 
erery  fortnight,  thej  do  not  specify,  and  therefore  the  Bishop,  who 
is  to  judge  of  those  impediments,  whether  they  be  agreable  to  the 
itatates  or  no,  cannot  tell  whether  he  shall  allow  them  or  no.  The 
good  carriage  and  temper  of  their  Chapter  is  commendable,  but  the  . 
tudng  of  other  places,  and  saying  that  there  are  but  few  examples  - 
Hke  to  their  owne,  is  not  so,  and  is  altogether  extravagant,  and 
eztriiuecall  to  the  Bishop's  inquiry. 

Strange  it  is  that  they  can  find  no  footsteps  of  any  Acts  of  Yisita- 
tioD,  which  is  a  sign  that  they  have  not  well  been  kept,  and  therefore 
they  are  bound  to  take  more  care  of  them  hereafter.  But  when  they 
ny  that  they  find  no  inquiry  grounded  upon  Injunctions,  it  should 
■eem  they  do  not  so  much  as  keep  the  Articles  of  Visitation  neither, 
wberein,  (not  long  since  exhibited)  before  my  time,  they  might  have 
feimd  this  Article  amongst  others,  viz.  Num.  28,  in  fine : — "  What  Acts 
hmve  been  made  by  the  Bishops  of  Durham,  your  VisitarSj  in  their 
severaU  Visitations^  and  how  are  they  observed  and  kept  from  time  to 
immer 

They  desire  that  no  such  Acts  or  Injunctions  may  be  made  with- 
oad  tfaiey  be  first  asked  and  consulted  about  them,  which  was  never 
jet  demanded  of  any  Bishop  by  their  predecessors,  or  any  others 
that  used  to  be  visited  by  him :  and  the  Kectors,  Vicars  and  Church- 
wardens of  every  parish  within  his  Diocess  may  aswell  demand  the 
■ame  of  him,  as  the  Deane  and  Chapter,  which  they  themselves  can- 
not think  fitt  to  be  granted. 

The  certificate  which  they  mention  in  this  answer  they  disowned 
tiiemselves,  and  withdrew  it  as  being  a  *  writing  not  so  considerately 
drawne  up  as  it  should  have  been. 

To  the  rest  of  my  Injunctions  they  answer  nothing. 

To  the  34th  Article,  they  say  they  have  augmented  two  Vicarages 
in  Durham  during  pleasure  onely,  which  is  not  according  to  the 
King's  Letter,  if  they  be  not  established  upon  them  for  all  times  to 
eome. 

To  the  36th  and  37th  Articles,  they  answer  that  there  is  no  irre- 
golarity  in  habits,  but  they  say  nothing  of  coming  to  the  Church  in 
night  gownes  and  grey  stockings,  nor  of  wearing  long  rapiers,  great 
slurted  jumpes,  and  short  daggers. 

To  the  additionall  Articles,  they  confesse  that  some  of  their  Man- 
non-houses  belonging  to  their  Corps  abroad,  are  ruined,  and  they 
plead  against  the  repayring  of  them,  and  say  it  is  more  for  the 

*  Wherein  they  pat  a  sdvo  for  the  privileges  and  liberties  of  their  Church,  as  they 
c^led  it,  appropriating  it  to  themselves.  Of  which  privileges  amtpliandwn  eit,  prout

mch  of  the  younger  sort  of  their  several  parishes  as  they  judge  fit  to 
receive  confirmation  from  the  Bishop,  and  present  them  to  be  con- 
firmed, especially  such  as,  having  competently  learned  their  Cate- 
chism, have  not  yet  received  the  Holy  Communion :  and  to  present

INTRODUCTION. 


The  minute  and  curious  record  of  old  siege  warfare  now 
printed  has  hitherto  been  known  only  from  the  history 
of  Pontefract  by  Boothroyd,  who  gives  what  he  con- 
sidered to  be  the  meaning  of  its  most  important  parts 
ill  his  own  language.     His  readings  of  names  and  his 
deductions  are  often  so  inaccurate  that  the  MS.,  inde- 
pendently of  its  minor  details,  comes  fully,  even  on  those 
heads,  within  the  scope  of  the  Surtees  Society.    Let  me, 
however,   do  justice  tg  the  local  historian.     He  has 
hrought  together  much  useful  topographical  and  genea- 
logical  information  *.     Dugdale's    Visitation    is    also 
printed.     Consequently  I  have  not  thought  it  necessary 
to  enter  much  into  illustrative  matter,  which  if  applied 
*o  every  person  and  place  mentioned  would  have  swelled 
this  volume  beyond  all  reasonable  bounds  with  matter 
already  accessible.     I  have,  however,  compiled  my  index 
^th  considerable  minuteness,  and  I  trust  it  will  be  a 
Valuable  assistance  to  any  future  historian  whose  local 
^vantages  may  induce  him  to  identify  places  critically. 
The  name  of  Nathan  Drake  the  diarist  may  be  seen

INTRODUCTION.  V 

nrhic^  was  raised  by  brief  after  the  Restoration  for  the 
repair  of  All  Saints'  Church,  which  still  lies  mostly  in 
the  mined  state  to  which  it  was  reduced  during  the 
deges*,  notwithstanding  also  the  parliamentary  grant 
of  1000/.  (See  p.  113.)  His  collections  seem  to  have 
been  purchased  by  Mr.  Richard  Frank,  recorder  of  Pon- 
tefiract,  who  enumerates  among  them  in  1755: — "E.  4. 
Si^e  of  Pontfreit  castle.  I  have  a  copy  from  the  same 
original  MS.  which  the  collector  made  use  of."  (3  Nic. 
Lit-  m.  592.)  One  of  these  copies  of  our  MS.  is  pro- 
hMj  that  in  Trin.  Coll.  Cambridge,  Ff.  iv.  24.  The 
catalogue  of  MSS.  informs  us  that  the  scribe  appears  to 
have  been  often  unable  to  decipher  his  original. 

There  is  an  engraving  of  Samuel  Drake  by  Birrill, 
and  it  also  states  that  his  degree  was  conferred  by 
Charles  I.  for  his  own  loyalty  and  bravery  during  the 
si^^es  of  Newark  and  Pontefract.     There   is   however 

*  "  Some  have  written  that  the  four  outward  corners  of  the  belfrey 
were  once  adorned  with  fair  images  of  the  evangelists,  and  no  doubt 
but  inwardly  it  was  furnished  with  a  proper  number  of  bells.  There 
it  but  one  at  present ;  which,  indeed,  has  a  verj  melodious  sound. 
This  place  is  remarkable  for  the  two  entrances  of  a  double  staircase, 
agreeable  to  their  various  doors  below;  both  gradations  turning 
lound  one  centre,  and  circumscribed  within  the  same  space.  From 
the  top  of  this  old  square  an  octagon  is  raised,  which  trulj  is  orna- 
mented with  beautiful  spires.  But  we  are  told  that  this,  which  was 
built  ;aince  the  civil  wars,  is  inferior  to  the  ancient  lantern,  which 
was  ornamented  with  the  effigies  of  eight  apostles,  standing  on 
pedestals,  joined  to  the  several  comers,  which  became  so  terribly 
shattered  bj  the  discharge  of  a  cannon  that,  through  the  force  of  an 
high  wind,  a  sudden  dislocation  ruined  the  fabric.**     (G^nt.) 

The  account  of  Pontefract  from  the  hand  of  the  Eev.  Marmaduke 
Pothergill  in  6  Magna  Britannia,  396,  agrees.  "  The  old  lantern, 
whose  finances  of  the  several  angles  were  beautified  with  as  manj 
apostles,  as  also  were  the  angles  of  the  lower  square  enriched  with 
the  four  evangelists.'*

INTRODUCTION.  Vll 

and  exceeding  closely  written.  It  is  much  disfigured  by 
damp,  and  the  circumstances  of  its  composition  probably 
caused  it  to  be  in  a  worn  and  ragged  state  shortly  after- 
ward,  as  in  one  or  two  instances,  where  a  word  at  the 
end  of  a  line  is  a  little  indistinct  or  imperfect,  the 
writer  has  retouched  the  word  or  supplied  the  imperfec- 
tion above  the  line. 

When  the  siege  of  Pontefract  is  mentioned,  the 
romance  of  the  third  siege  springs  to  the  ideas.  I 
found  it  impossible  to  omit  an  account  of  that  strange 
sequel  to  Drake's  diary,  but  for  many  reasons  have 
allowed  the  evidences  to  tell  their  own  story. 

Although  Drake  does  not  notice  any  coinage.  Sir 
Gervase  Cutler,  who  died  during  the  second  siege  in  the 
castle,  is  stated  to  have  taken  lUOO/.  worth  of  his  family 
plate  thither  to  be  minted.     Many  of  Charles  I.'s  siege- 
pieces  have  no  name  of  town  or  local  symbol,  and  cannot 
be  assigned  to  any  place  or  date.    They  are  occasionally 
strack  upon  irregular  pieces  of  silver  bearing  the  very 
mooldings  of  the  divided  salvers,  &c.     For  the  year 
1648  the  following  Pontefract  shillings  have  occurred. 
'    The  maximum  and  minimum  weights,  which  are  ex- 
oefisively    irregular,    are    founded    on    a    collation    of 
Bailing's   examples   with   those    instanced  by  Messrs. 
Chaffers   and  Bergne  before  the   Numismatic  Society 
ou  23  March  1854.

INTRODUCTION.  IX 

Back,  in  1726,  gives  a  view  of  the  south  side  of  the 
castle  "  fTTom  a  drawing,  taken  during  the  siege,  now  in 
tlie  possession  of  the  learned  and  curious  antiquary, 
£U^r  Grale,  Esquire."     It  delineates  fairly  the  slope  of 
iliis  side  and  the  high  mound  of  the  keep ;  hut,  as  to 
tlie  building,  the  existing  remains  of  the  Castle-gate  and 
the  multangular  wall  near  the  Upper-gate  with  other 
reasons  induce  us  to  pr.efer  Lord  Galway's  view.     In 
1734  the  Society  of  Antiquaries  published  in  1  Vetusta 
IdoDumenta,  42,  a  view  of  the  castle  from  the  Duchy  of 
Lancaster  office.     It  is  picturesque  but  highly  conven- 
tional, as   the   representation  of  the  church   at  once 
proves.     In  the  fore  part  especially  is  much  diflFerence 
l>etween  it  and  Lord  Galway's  copy,  yet  these  discrepan- 
cies are  probably  in  a  great  measure  owing  to  its  earlier 
^te  and  alterations  in  the  works,  and  in  many  respects 
^t  is  a  very  valuable  aid  when   carefully  studied   and 
<iecked. 

Hearne  mentions  a  picture  of  the  castle  in  the  Ash- 
'^^lean  Museum. 

Of  this  stately  castle,  says  Gent,  in  his  history  of 
York  (1730),  "I  have  seen  a  fair  prospect,  as  also  of 
*he  town,  beautifully  done  on  vellum,  resembling  its 
^licient  glory."     "  I  have  a  prospect  of  the  castle,"  he 
^^ys  in  his  history  of  Hull  (1735),  and  this  no  doubt  is 
^Hat  he   roughly  engraves  in  vol.  2  of  his  Historia 
^^<>inpendiosa  Eomana  (1738),  where  we  find  "a  com- 
prehensive Dissertation  on   the  Ancient  and  Present 
^tate  of  Pontefract,  in  Yorkshire :  with  an  Account  of 
*Oe  Civil  Wars,  as  to  what  concem'd  that  strong  and 
^^ugnificent  Fortress,  thought  to  have  been*  impreg- 

•  "  Colonel  Wyndham,  the  Qovemour,  assured  King  Charles  the 
■*^i«^,  It  was  so  Strang  a  Flace,  that  it  could  not  be  taken.'*  (Gent.)

•  The  usual  order  of  Swillington  Tower  and  Treasurer's  Tower  is 
bere  reversed.  G-ent,  in  his  translation,  gives  the  usual  order,  as  in 
Lord  Gkdwaj's  view.  In  the  Prospect  itself,  No.  4  is  placed  behind 
the  wall  as  in  our  view,  but  the  doorway  leading  to  it  is  wanting. 
Doorways  are  inserted  in  the  projecting  basements  of  No.  3,  and  of 
the  Queen's,  King's,  and  Constable's  Towers.  As  to  the  name  of 
Swillington  Tower,  Gent  gives  the  following  note :  "  Adam,  lord  of 
Swillington  in  the  West  Eiding,  was  so  great  friend  to  the  Earl 
[of  Lancaster]  that  he  was  fined  a  thousand  marks  for  his  sake. 
I  am  apt  to  think  that  Swillington  Tower  might  be  so  called  for  his 
confinement  therein,  or  in  honour  to  his  person,  whom  the  Parliament 
thought  fit  to  clear  firom  that  erroneous  judgment  in  the  next  reign." 

t  "  The  J^Magazine,  cut  out  of  a  rock,  with  an  inter-terraneous 
descent,  the  passage  4  feet  broad,  having  43  steps  to  the  bottom, 
which  is  6  yards  over,  3  the  breadth,  (with  6  cavities  cut  in  the 
ndes  of  the  rock)  and  9  yards  upward  to  equal  the  surface  of  the 
earth.  Not  far  from  this  was  a  large  Dungeon ;  at  the  17th  step  of 
which,  the  entrance,  a  yard  in  space,  is  stopped  by  the  falling  in  of 
the  ruins."  (Gent.) 

On  the  walls  at  the  side  of  the  stairs  which  lead  under  a  circular 
chambered  arch  to  the  magazine  (which  is  entered  by  a  pointed  arch) 
are  many  names  rudely  cut  by  the  brave  defenders  of  1048,  some  of 
them  being  several  times  repeated.  We  have  among  others  less 
decypherable  the  inscriptions,  JOHN  1048  SMITH— lAMES  1048 
BEOVgTON— 1048  JOHN  GRANT— I.  E— T.  K— 10  GeO  48 
BeALe.     The  4  is  sometimes  reversed  in  form. 

X  "  South-Gate.  The  area  or  spaces  between  this  entrance  and 
tiie  Middle-Gate ;  also  round  by  the  King's  Stable  to  the  Porter's 
Lodge;  were  called  the  Barbican."  (Gent.)  The  Middle-Gate  is 
seen  to  the  right  of  the  Stables  in  our  view.

INTRODUCTION.  XIU 

I  House  for  the  loan  of  Frank's  copy.     The  re- 
iilired  from  that  of  the  application  to  Lord Galway. 
lii-ides  the  copy  of  Gent's  bird's-eye  view,  Boothroyd, 
in  a  plan  of  the  town,  gives  the  circumvallation  of  1648, 
having  a  general  resemblance  in  form  to  that  presented 
l»y  Lord  Galway's  view,  but  diflFering  in  details,  and 
comprising  a  much  greater  area.     I  do  not  pretend  to 
explain  this  discrepancy.    I  have  lately  seen  the  draught 
at  Somerset  House.     The  Castle  is  given  in  elevation, 
being  almost  a  fac-simile  of  Lord  Galway's  copy.     The 
^     rest  of  the  sheet  is  a  ground  plan.     The  streets  and 
itttds  are  I  think  more  correct  than  in  my  lithogram, 
where  the  district  near  St.  Giles's  is  much  crushed  and 
Aortened.     The  circumvallation. diflFers  in  extent  from 
4at  in  both  the  other  examples,  but  the  form  is  the 
88me.    It  comprises  less  than  in  Boothroyd's  plan,  and 
in  some  parts  even  less  than  in  Lord  Galway's,  in  others 
Either  more. 

All  the  views  that  we  possess  of  the  ruined  fortress  in 

^h  glory  have  the  usual  inexactness  of  old  drawings. 

They  all  show  more  members  of  the  Round  Tower  than 

^  possibly  be  seen  from  one  point  of  sight ;  and,  in 

f     injunction  with  existing  remains,  Leland's  description 

still  gives   the   most   satisfactory   idea   of  it: — "The 

^telle  of  Pontfract,  of  sum  [var.  sometyme]  caullid 

Soorre  [var.  Norre,  Skorre]  castelle,  conteinith  8  tourres, 

^f  the  which  the  Dungeon,  cast  ynto  6  roundelles,  3 

"%ge  and  3  smaul,  is  very  fair,  and  hath  a  fair  spring. 

^her  is  in  the  dike  by  north  the  Conestables  Tourre." 

The  present  ground  plan  of  the  Great  Tower  is  a 
^^sive  trefoil.  The  small  roundels  were  corbelled 
"^tween  the  larger  ones.  The  sloping  battlement  which 
appears  in  Lord  Galway's  view  is  quite  correct,  a  flight

INTRODUCTION.  XV 

Kper  Tower,  which  was  destroyed  in  January  1645 
(see  p.  9),  is,  by  a  curious  misreading  of  the  contraction 
for  per^  called  Pix  Tower  by  Boothroyd,  and,  from  a  re- 
nembrance  of  the  Pix  office  at  Westminster,  is  iden- 
ified  with  the  Treasurer's  Tower.  The  latter  however  is 
ifterwards  mentioned  as  still  existing,  and  it  is  plain ' 
Tom  p.  7  that  Piper  Tower  was  next  to  the  Round 
Tower,  and  that  it  was  a  gateway  tower.  Now,  on  an 
iispection  of  the  wall  between  the  Round  Tower  and 
^  site  of  the  Red  (or  Gascoyne's  ?)  Tower,  the  remains 
if  Piper  Tower  at  once  disclose  themselves  with  the 
little  doorway  below  the  general  level  and  buttressed  on 
»ch  side. 

The  Western  portion  of  the  castle-yard  is  on  a  higher 
level  than  the  Eastern,  from  which  it  is  severed  by  a 
mstaining  wall. 

No  attempt  is  made  here  to  fix  dates  to  the  existing 
remains,  and  to  King  on  Ancient  Castles  the  reader 
(Day  refer  for  some  notice  of  the  Keep.  It  may  be  per- 
ODissible  to  remind  him  of  the  many  thrilling  events  of 
irhich  this  now  fallen  but  once  frowning  fortress  was  the 
scene.  In  Domesday  it  appears  to  be  included  in  Ilbert 
le  Lacy's  manor  of  Tateshall,  a  name  supposed  to  be 
preserved  in  that  of  Tanshelf,  a  township  of  Pontefract, 
the  Taddenes-scylfe  of  the  Saxon  council  of  947.  The 
mcceeding  history  is  epitomized  by  Leland  as  follows : — 

"  King  William  Conquerour  gave  the  castelle  with  the 
towne  of  Brokenbridg  and  very  much  land  lying  there- 
aibout,  to  Hilbert  de  Laceio  a  noble  Norman.  This 
Hilbert*   foundid  the  college  of  St.  Clemente  in  the 


*  There  is  a  curious  seal  of  Ilbert  de  Lacj  in  a  volume  of  the 
Archffiological  Journal,  with  his  cross  or  mark.

INTRODUCTION.  XVll 

3.  Clementes  in  the  castelle."  The  name  of  Ponte- 
Gract,  if  the  second  charter  of  Robert  de  Lacy  be  a 
forgery,  seems  to  have  been  conferred  between  1100  and 
1181  in  the  place  of  Eirkby,  and  so  agrees  very  well 
nith  Thomas  of  Castleford's  statement  that  it  per- 
petuated the  memory  of  a  miracle  at  the  breaking  of  a 
bridge  on  the  Aire  or  Ouse  on  the  arrival  of  Archbishop 
William  in  1153.  But,  as  neither  river  is  close  to  the 
town,  it  has  been  suggested  that  some  accident  to  an  old 
bridge  over  the  miUwash  to  the  east  of  the  town  is  a 
imnre  probable  origin.  It  was  called  ^^  old  "  in  Edward 
IL's  time,  and  Leland  saw  it  in  ruins. 

Margaret,  the  queen  of  Edward  I.,  was  residing  at 
the  castle  when  she  was  drawn  by  the  pleasures  of  the 
chase  to  Brotherton  where  she  was  delivered  of  her  fifth 
Bon. 

The  last  of  the  Lacys,  who  died  in  1310,  had  sur- 
vived two  sons,  one  drowned  at  Denbigh  Castle,  the 
other  killed  by  a  fall  while  attempting  to  run  round  the 
battlements  of  one  of  the  towers  of  Pontefract  Castle. 
After  this  poor  boy's  death  the  castle  became  indeed  a

that  the  fortress  had  again  heen  unaccountably  sur- 
rendered to  the  Pilgrims  of  Grace  by  Darcy  and  Arch- 
bishop LfOe,  who  continued  not  unwillingly  in  the  com- 
pany of  the  captors  *.  In  Edward  VI.'s  reign  several 
of  the  prisoners  of  Solway  Moss  were  confined  here. 
James  I.  in  1616,  and  Charles  I.  in  1625,  were  at  Pon- 
tefract,  and  the  fortress  was  soon  to  sustain  on  behalf  of 
the  Stuarts  attacks  bearing  a  remarkable  contrast  to  the 
minor  ones  to  which  it  had  succumbed  in  the  heyday  of 
its  mediaeval  glory. 

W.  HYLTON  DYEE  LONGSTAFFB,  F.S.A. 

Oateshead. 

• 
•  Mine  host  at  Tadcafiter  observed  to  Sadler  that  Lord  Darcy 
nught  have  held  the  castle  against  ten  time  the  number  of  rebels  as 
had  induced  him  to  surrender  '^  the  key  of  the  North  *'  (as  Eobert 
Nevil  had  styled  it  in  Edward  I.'s  days).  How  Sobert  Aske  held 
his  court  here  with  '^  a  cruel  and  a  miserable  proud  countenance,*^ 
and  how  Lancaster  had  knelt  before  him  in  supplication  to  read  his 
piodamation  and  lost  his  head  thereby  are  matters  notorious.  ^  As 
I  entered  to  the  first  ward,"  this  victim  reports,  '^  there  I  found 
many  in  harness  of  very  cruel  fellows,  and  a  porter  with  a  white  staff 
in  Ida  hand.  And  at  the  two  other  ward  gates  every  of  them  a 
porter  with  a  staff  in  his  hand,  accompanied  with  harnessed  men. 
And  so  I  was  brought  into  the  hall,  which  I  found  full  of  people,  and 
I  was  commanded  to  tarry  to  such  time  as  the  said  traitorous  captain 
his  pleasure  was  known.  And  in  that  space  I  stood  up  at  the  high 
table  in  the  hall,  and  there  showed  to  the  people  the  cause  of  my 
coming  and  the  effect  of  the  proclamation.  And  in  so  doing  the 
same,  the  said  Aske  sent  for  me  into  his  chamber,  and  there  keeping 
his  port  and  countenance  as  though  he  had  been  a  great  prince,  with 
great  rigour  and  like  a  tyrant,  who  was  accompanied  with  the  Arch- 
bishop of  York,  the  Lord  Darcye,  Sir  Bobert  Constable,  Mr.  Magnus, 
Sir  Christopher  Danby  and  divers  others. — He  standing  up  in  the 
highest  place  of  the  chamber,  taking  the  high  estate  upon  him, 
said  &c.**

OF    roXTEFRACT   CASTLE.  3 

November,  Helrasley  Castle  surrendered  to  Sir  Thomas  Fairfax 
without  loss  of  arras  and  on  honourable  conditions.  "  Lieutenant 
Colonel  Forbes,  and  all  the  rest  of  the  prisoners,  shall  have  their  free 
liberty ;  and  that  Lieutenant  Spright,  and  five  soldiers  belonging  to 
me,  now  prisoners  at  York,  shall  likewise  have  their  liberty."  (Con- 
ditions arawn  by  Col.  Crosland  the  governor,  1  Fairfax  Corre- 
spondence, 121.) 

December.  "  Knaresborough  was  surrendered  to  the  Parliament 
upon  conditions,  and  there  were  taken  4  pieces  of  ordnance,  store  of 
arms,"  Ac.     (Whitelocke.) 

"  The  Lord  Fairfax  his  forces  took  in  Pomfret  Town,  and  close 
blocked  up  the  castle,  and  other  castles  thereabouts."     (Ibid.) 


["  A  Journal  of  the  first  siege  of  Pontefract  Castle, 
kept  by  Nathan  Drake,  a  gentleman  volunteer  in  it.  I  desire 
that  this  MS.,  in  my  great -grandfather's  own  hand  writing,  may 
never  go  out  of  the  family. — Francis  Drake."] 

A  List  of  all  the  Vollunteres  as  were  at  Pontefract  Castle 
the  25th  December,  164[4].*

den.  Coll.  Wintworth,  Coll.  Cuttler,  Coll.  Gray,  Coll.  Vawhan, 
Coll.  Middleton. 

Knightes, — Sr.  Thomas  Bland,  Sr.  Frauncis  Ratcliff,  Sr.  Ed- 
ward RatclifTe. 

Lieutenant  Co//^w<'//5.— L.C.  ^Vheatelay,  L.C.  Wintworth,  L.C. 
Darcey,  L.C.  Tindall,  L.C.  Portington. " 

Majors. — Ma.  Beamont,  Ma.  Hudlcstone,  Ma.  Mountaine, 
Ma.  Wintworth,  Ma.  Copplay,  Ma.  Warde,  Ma.  Dinis. 

Preachers. — Do''.  Bradley,  Mr.  Hirste,  Mr.  Lister,  Mr.  Kay,

lestone,  Ca.  Shaw,  Ca.  Romsden,  Ca.  Harrise,  Ca.  Vaucer,  Ca. 

*  This  list  is  found  on  pages  5,  6  of  the  MS-,  among  original  matter  written  after 
the  erasure  of  the  list,  which  indeed  is  evidently  unficistied  as  to  the  gentlemen 
▼olanteers.  But  it  is  a  convenient  summary  of  the  status  of  the  persons  engaged, 
and,  as  a  check  upon  the  names  in  the  more  perfect  list  of  watches  which  follows,  it  is 
an  assurance  to  the  reader  that  the  editor  is  not  exaggerating  the  shortcomings  of 
Bootbroyd's  history  of  Pontefract.  There  are  a  few  discrepancies  between  the  lists. 
Tbf^  fHTobably  arose  ^m  withdrawals  and  transpositions  from  illness  or  other  causes 
before  the  watches  were  settled.  The  erased  list  furnishes  the  physician  and  surgeons, 
with  an  additional  alderman  of  Pomfret,  Mr.  Kellom.  Out  of  a  corporate  council  of 
13,  11  of  its  members  defended  the  castle.

night  they  gave  us  4  great  shott,  according  to  their  usuall 
manner. 

On  Weddensday  the  22th  they  weare  reasonable  quiet,  their 
ordinance  ceast  playing,  whether  they  wanted  powder  or 
thought  it  but  wasted  on  us  I  know  not,  but  this  day  and  the 
night  they  gave  us  but  6  great  shott. 

And  the  Lord  Fairfax  not  finding  the  breach  so  cleare  as  he 
was  informed  and  not  able  to  gett  his  men  to  venture  on  it, 
returned  to  Yorke  againe,  without  possession  of  the  castle,  where 
upon  the  Munday  before  both  he  and  his  son  Sir  Thomas  Fair- 
fSuL  *  came  to  towne  to  take  the  honnor  of  the  busines,  and  pos- 
session of  the  castle,  who  were  entertained  with  great  honnor 
and  exalltation,  gaurds  of  horse  and  foot  ready  to  receeve  them, 
with  great  showting  and  volly  of  voyces  and  voUyes  of  shott ; 
but  went  away  without  either  beating  of  drum  or  sound  of 
tmmpitt. 

[22.  The  beseegers  shott]  3  [cannon],  and  3  in  the  night. 
23.  That  night  3.  24.  That  night  2.  Saturday,  25.  15  can- 
non. 27.  1  cannon.  In  all  to  this  day  1349  [apparently 
altered  to  1390]  and  not  any  more  cannon  shott  made  since  tiU 
the  1th  [«i^]  Feb.  nor  not  an}'  one  man  killd  with  the  cannon 
bfdlit,  nor  any  man  hurt  with  the  cannon  buUitt  but  one  James 
Ellyate  (the  little  gunmaker  of  Yorke,)  who  had  his  arme 
bruised  with  a  stone  burst  with  the  cannon  buDitt,  so  presently 
cut  of,  which  is  since  well  againe. 

From  the  22th  to  the  31th,  the  beseeged  playd  18  cannon. 

February  1.  The  beseeged  plaid  4  cannon. 

4.  [The  beseegers  shott]  2  cannon  and  1  in  the  night.  The 
beseegers  pLiyd  no  more  with  their  cannon  till  the  1[2] 
February  and  then  they  shott  3  cannon  without  any  hurt  at  all 
to  the  beseeged.  The  beseegers  have  now  shott  1400  cannon 
against  .... 

There  went  allso  t  with  Mr.  Corker  at  another  time  to  the 
Prince  out  of  this  garrison  during  this  seege  16  men  and  horse 
the  6th  of  February :  he  was  the  onely  man  that  procured  Sr. 


*  "  Jan.  Sir  Thomas  Fairfax  and  Colonel  Forbes  standing  together  near  Pomfret 
Castle,  a  cannon  bullet  from  thence  came  betwixt  them,  and  the  wind  of  it  beat  them 
both  to  the  ground,  and  put  out  one  of  Colonel  Forbes  his  eyes,  and  spoihd  that  side 
of  his  face,  and  yet  no  other  hurt  to  Sir  Thomas  Fairfax."     (Whitelocke.) 

**  The  Commons  proceeded  in  the  business  of  the  new  model  of  the  armj,  and 
nominated  Sir  Tho.  Fairfax  to  command  in  chief. — Colonel  Lambert  was  ordered  to 
speed  down  into  the  north,  to  take  care  of  the  forces  there  (he  being  commissary 
general  of  the  Lord  Fairfax  his  army)  when  Sir  Thomas  Fairfax  should  come  up."

OF   POXTEFRACr  CASTLE.  17 

before  your  orders  came  from  Colonel  Forbes  to  draw  off  to  Ferry- 
bridge, which  (though  I  used  all  possible  expedition  therein)  I  could 
not  do  until  within  night,  and  then  began  to  march  with  not  above 
240  horse  and  foot  in  all  (for  reason  of  the  sudden  notice,  many  of 
my  men  were  absent),  expecting  to  have  found  no  enemy  either  at 
Pontefract  or  Ferrybridge,  but  discovered  them  at  both  places,  by 
intelligence  from  some  of  them  whom  we  took  prisoners.  Where- 
upon we  were  forced  to  break  up  their  quarters  in  Longhoughton, 
where  some  troops  of  Colonel  Carnaby  quartered.  "We  forced  our 
passage  there  with  divers  of  their  horse  and  some  men  of  theirs  pri- 
soners, and  it  was  generally  conceived  most  secure  to  make  for  Brad- 
ford, in  regard  we  did  not  know  how  the  enemy  had  dispersed  them- 
selves towards  Leeds.  My  lord,  your  lordship  may  perceive  by  these 
inclosed  what  a  distraction  this  late  accident  hath  wrought  in  these 
western  places."  (Sir  John  Savile  at  Bradford  to  Lord  Fairfax. 
1  Fairfax  Corr.  177.) 

March  3.  "  We  have  notice  that  the  enemy  is  retreating  to  Don- 
caster  •,  but  we  hear  of  Prince  Rupert's  advance  on  this  side  Glou- 
cester t-  Now  that  the  country  about  Wakefield  is  not  secured,  the 
enemy  at  Sandali  ranges  at  pleasure.*'  (Sir  John  Savile  at  Bradford 
to  Lord  Fairfax.     1  Fairfax  Corr.  179.) 

March  5.  "  To  the  right  honourable  Ferdinando  Lord  Fairfax, 
these. — My  lord,  your  oflScers  will  inform  you  how  far  you  are  short 
in  medicaments^  the  number  of  the  wounded  considered.  Here  is  a 
chirurgeon  of  your  party  that  will  go  as  far  as  he  can  with  such 
things  as  he  hath  received.  Your  lordship  will  receive  with  this  a 
list  of  oflBcers  and  soldiers,  if  I  may  receive  the  like  from  you  upon  a 
safe-conduct.  I  shall  send  officers  to  treat  of  a  general  exchange, 
and  remain,  my  lord,  your  humble  servant,  Sichabd  Lowther. 
Pontefract  Castle."     (1  Fairf.  Corr.  185.) 

March  9.  "  For  the  right  honourable  the  Lord  Fairfax,  these  — 
VLy  lord,  your  lordship's  of  the  7th  of  this  instant  came  but  this 
morning :  for  the  time  and  place,  the  first  is  precipitated,  for  the 
other  it  is  at  too  great  a  distance.  If  your  lordship  please  to  give  a 
meeting  at  Ferrybridge,  upon  mutual  engagements  for  the  safety  of 
those  who  shall  be  appointed  to  treat  upou  both  parties,  I  shall  agree 
to  it,  and  to  that  purpose  desire  a  new  safe-conduct  for  such  as  I 
shall  nominate ;  the  time,  Wednesday  next,  by  nine  in  the  morning. 
The  list  your  lordsliip  sent  of  our  prisoners  with  yours  is  altogether 
imperfect.  I  desire  a  particular  under  whose  commands  and  in  what 
regiments  they  have  served,  as  also  a  list  from  Hull  arid  Wressell  in  the 

*  *'  Langdale  retreated  to  Newark.  Col.  Rosseter  and  other  of  the  Parliament's 
forces  fell  on  bis  rear  near  Doncaater,  and  took  divers  prisoners."     (Whitelocke.) 

t  March  11.  *'  I  am  sorry  to  hear  of  the  sad  accident  in  Yorkshire.  It  is  very 
probable  that  the  storm  will  jet  be  greater  there.  Prince  Ru{>ert  is  gone  northward 
ibo ;  and  it  is  conceived  that  Prince  Rupert,  Prince  Maurice,  and  Langdale  will,  in 
amdnsion,  fiJl  into  one  body.''  (Sir  Tho.  Widdrington,  at  London,  to  Lord  Fairfax. 
1  Pairf.  Corr.  182.)

OF   PONTEFRACr   CASTLE.  19 

officers,  67  souldyers,  and  about  100  horse.  That  niffht  allso 
our  men  went  downe  to  Tumebridge  again,  and  brou^t  away 
fix)m  the  enemyes  storehowse  40  new  paire  of  bootes  with  other 
provision. 

21.  Fridday.  About  2  of  the  clock  in  the  afternoone  the 
enemy  came  in  again  and  tooke  the  Upper  towne,  killed  Captin 
Redman  about  the  bridge,  and  a  souldyer  upon  the  toppe  of  the 
Round  tower  and  tooke  3  of  our  men  prisoners.  That  day  we 
shott  14  cannon  and  2  in  the  night,  but  the  Lower  towne  we 
had  at  liberty.  They  could  not  beseege  it  upon  that  end,  and 
from  thence  we  fetch  in  wodde  from  the  burnt  bowses  and  other 
necessary es,  the  enemyes  forces  being  not  so  strong  by  much  as 
was  thought.  The  truth  is  thought  that  this  seege  was  for 
nothing  but  to  keepe  us  within  the  castle  untill  they  had  areyed 
men  &  plundred  the  contrey  to  prevent  the  Prince's  victualls 
at  his  coming  *. 

22.  We  shott  15  cannon  to  sevrall  places  and  we  had  a 
woman  shott  thorow  the  hand  and  a  man  shott  thorow  the 
thigh  with  the  same  bullitt  ii[X)n  the  toppe  of  the  Round  tower 
(but  neither  killed).  The  enemy  fell  a  trenchinge  in  divers 
places  about  the  towne  but  espetially  before  AUderman  Lunnes 
howse  t- 

23.  We  playd  5  cannon  all  into  the  towne  J. 

•  "Mar.  17.  Letters  from  the  Committee  of  Nantwich  informed  that  Prince 
Rupert,  Maurice  and  Langdale  were  all  joined  in  one  great  body  and  that  without  a 
•peedj  relief,  Sir  Will.  Brereton's  forces  would  be  in  great  danger.  The  House 
ordered  a  letter  to  be  forthwith  sent  by  the  Committee  of  both  kingdoms,  for  a  party 
of  the  Scots  horse  and  dragoons  to  advance  towards  Sir  Will.  Brereton,  and  ordered 
supplies  for  his  forces." 

••  Mar.  27.  The  Scots  forces,  being  joined  with  Sir  Will.  Brereton,  the  Prince's 
forces  retreated,  and  would  not  engage.  Prince  Rupert  marched  towards  Worcester, 
Prince  Maurice  to  Ludlow,  and  Langdale  northwards."     (Whitelocke.) 

-f  Mar.  22.  "  The  Lord  Montgomery  was  pleased  to  acquaint  your  excellency  with 
my  capitulation  of  surrendering  Naward  Castle,  and  you  were  pleased  to  give  me 
your  pass  agreeably.  My  lord,  a  party  of  the  Scotch  horse  conveyed  me  to  Ponte- 
fract,  where  the  commander-in-chief.  Colonel  Forbes,  undertook  my  further  convey ; 
but  it  so  fell  out  that  some  party  of  the  King's  advancing,  and  your  horse  retreating, 
it  was  not  held  fit  I  should  pass  then,  but  I  was  modestly  requested  to  retire  to  some 
place  until  your  present  affair  was  over,  which  I  had  no  reason  to  refuse ;  but  I  went 
back  to  Giiling  [Castle],  where  I  have  kept  myself."  Applies  for  fresh  pass  or  con- 
voy.    (Col.  Atkins  to  Lord  Fairfax.     1  Fairfax  Corr.  18.4.) 

I  Mar.  23.  "  I  have  endeavoured  to  inform  myself  of  their  strength  at  Sandall,  and 
find  that  they  are  100  foot  and  50  horse,  besides  those  60  horse  lately  gone  out  upon 
a  party  from  Pontefract  garrison,  and  could  not  return  to  it  again  by  reason  of  our 
leaguer  there.  I  advised  with  the  oflScers  here,  and  the  result  was  that  we  were  too 
inconsiderable  to  lie  in  Sandall,  for  we  are  not  above  150  fDot,  now  that  Capt. 
Spencer  is  marched,  as  (it  seems)  your  lordship's  pleasure  is;  and  we  humbly  con- 
oetve  300  foot  and  6  troops  of  horse,  of  60  in  every  troop,  to  be  a  proportion  small 
enough  for  that  attempt ;  yet  I  refer  myself  in  this,  as  in  all  things  else,  to  your 
lordship's  wise  consideration."  (Sir  John  Savile,  at  Wakefield,  to  Lord  Fairfmz. 
IFairf.  Corr.  181.)

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTI.K.  21 

♦ve  had  one  man  taken  prisoner.     They  lined  divers  hedges 

betwixt  the *  and  the  Parke  ana  sett  upp  their  collors 

att  [Skinner  t]  Lane  head,  but  our  cannon  from  [the  Kings  t] 
tower  beat  them  downe,  thus  were  we  still  imployed  on  both 
sides. 

6.  (SW/y.)  Our  horse  did  sally  foorth  under  the  command  of 
Captin  Washington  and  Captin  [BealtJ  and  40  musquteyers 
nnaer  the  command  of  Captin  Smith.     Our  horsemen  behaved 

themselves  valiantly,  facing  a  whole  troope with  5  men, 

made  them  retreate  within  the  towne  and  duble  their  number 

of  horse fall   forth  with    100  musquetears   & 

lined  the  [hedge  t]-  They  gave  fire  freely  on  both  sides  [but 
our  ment]  manteyned  the  feild  bravely  and  tooke  [2  butchers  t] 
and  their  horses  loaded  with  flesh  to  the  towne,  before  the 
enemyee  faces,  which  did  very  good  service  to  the  garison  upon 
Easter  day ;  [but,  the]  said  6th  day,  we  killed  one  man  upon 
Baghill,  and  tooke  another  prisoner,  and  tooke  two  horses ;  and 
we  shott  6  cannon  that  day  both  into  the  towne  and  other 
places  and  that  night  5  cannon  into  the  towne  but  what  hurt 
was  done  is  not  knowne. 

[6.]  The  enemy  basely  stayed  all  wine  from  coming  to  the 
castle  for  serving  of  the  Communion  upon  Easter  day,  aUthough 
Forbus  (their  Governor)  had  graunted  protecktion  for  the  same, 
and  one  Browne  of  Wakefeild  said  if  it  were  for  our  damnation 
we  should  have  it,  but  not  for  our  solvationi  But  that  day, 
being  Easter  day,  (the  6th  Aprill),  which  was  prepared  for  the 
health  of  our  soules,  was  prepared  for  the  liberties  of  our  bodyes, 
for,  after  sarmond  done  [att  11  of  thef]  clock  the  Governor  gave 
strait  command  that  all  men  should  presently  be  in  armes,  which 
was  as  willingly  done  both  with  horse  and  foot.  {Sally,)  Then, 
after  a  little  delibration,  orders  being  agreed  upon,  Captin 
Washington  and  Captin  Beale  commanded  the  horse.  Capt. 
Munro  with  60  musquetears  did  sally  out  of  Swillinton  tower 
up  into  Northgate.  Captin  Flood  with  60  musqutears  sallyed 
forth  of  the  Lower  gate  &  so  up  by  the  Haulpeny  howse  & 
fell  upon  their  trenches.  Then  there  was  60  gentlemen  volun- 
teres  wherof  one  haulph  did  second  Mimroe's  musquetears  and 
the  other  haulph  Capt.  Flood's.  The  gentlemen  weare  chosen 
out  from  the  4  coUonells  within  the  Castle  viz. : — Sr.  Richard 
Hutton,  12  gentlemen  commanded  by  Capt.  Croft :  Sr.  George 
Wintworth  10,  commanded  by  Leiut.  Warde :  Sr.  John  Roms- 
den  10,  commanded  by  Capt.  Benson ;  and  Sr.  Jar  vis  Cuttler  10,

knowne;  and  5  men  was  killd  from  the  Round  tower,  and  4 
men  and  a  horse  att  Munkhill.  That  day  they  carryed  away  5 
waine  loade  of  men  over  Ferry  brigges,  and  the  same  day  the 
enemy  drew  their  men  into  a  body,  it  was  thought  to  know 
what  force  Sr.  John  Saivell  brought  of  horse  and  foot,  being 
newly  come  from  Sandall  with  litle  comforth.  That  night  our 
cannon  made  2  shott  charged  with  case  shott  into  their  trenches 
where  the  enemy  was  heard  to  crye  0  is  me,  0  is  me,  divers 
times. 

11.  The  enemy  came  forth  with  a  party  of  12  horse  and  30 
moskiters.  They  lined  Baghill  allong  the  ould  hedge  2  howers 
and  then  retreated  under  a  hill  for  a  safegard.  That  day  our 
cannon  plaid  2  cannon  and  1  in  the  night,  but  what  hurt  is  not 
knownCy  onely  one  man  was  kild  upon  Baghill  with  a  muskitt 
from  the  Round  tower. 

12.  Alderman  Thomas  Wilkinson*  unfortunatly  was  killd 
with  a  muskitt  bullitt  from  Baghill  at  Barbicon  yate :  {Sally,) 
and  our  men  did  sally  forth  with  7  [hors^  f]  to  Munkhill  but  no 
execution  done  with  the  horse  on  either  side,  but  one  of  our 
footmen  killd  2  horses  there,  but  the  men  gott  clere.  That  day 
we  shott  5  cannon  into  the  towne,  but  what  hurt  was  done  is 
not  knowne. 

13.  The  enemy  showed  3  or  4  troopes  of  horse  as  though  thev 
did  intend  to  draw  into  a  body,  but  drew  away  into  severall 

places^ Before  noone  a  troope  or  2  came  to 

where  being  drawne  into  order  upon  the  sand  bed  below  the 
hall  §,  our  cannonear  made  a  shott  from  the  Kinges  t^wer  when 
we  was  att  the  sarmond,  dismounted  a  whole  file,  kiUd  2  dead 
both  man  and  horse,  the  other  4  were  sore  hurt.  The  enemy 
showed  5  troopes  of  horse  more  then  was  before  that  day.  That 
day  our  cannons  made  6  shott  into  the  towne,  and  3  cannon 
more  that  night  to  the  enemyes  barricade  which  was  broke 
quite  downe  but  what  execution  was  done  is  not  knowne. 

14.  About  10  of  the  clock  there  came  a  party  of  the  enemyes 
foot  to  drive  away  summe  catteU  which  was  sent  out  to  feede 
neare  Swillington  tower,  but  our  musketers  caused  them  to 
ninne  away  and  saved  the  cattell.  About  the  same  time  there 
came  3  loade  of  munition  whereupon  we  conjectured  they  doe 
intend  to  fight  with  the  Prince  hereabouts,  because  that  3000 
Scotts  lyes  at  Leedes  and  other  places  quartered  to  joyne  with

danger  of  death ;  and  he  runne  the  horseman  thorow  the  legg, 
and  into  his  horse  noase,  and  the  horseman  himsellfe  ahnost  to 
the  midle  of  his  raper  into  his  body,  and  so  the  horseman  gott 
away,  but  whether  alive  or  dead  is  not  knowne.  That  night 
there  was  2  cannon  playd  into  the  towne  *. 

16.  William  Ingram  plaid  2  cannon  into  the  towne  in  the 
morning  and  shott  thorow  Mr.  Lunnes  howse  topp,  into  the 
Markitt.  {Sally.)  About  10  of  the  clock  we  made  a  strong 
sally  forth  into  their  trenches.  Captin  Himsworth  with  50  mus- 
keters  went  out  of  the  Lower  gate  to  the  trenches  at  Allderman 
Lunnes  howse :  Captin  Munro  with  50  musketers  out  of  Swillin- 
ton  tower  to  Northgate,  &  so  through  the  upper  trenches.  There 
was  appoynted  50  gentlemen  vollenteres  to  second  the  mus- 
keters :  Collonell  Hutton  commanded  12  by  Capt.  Croft :  Collo- 
nell  Wintworth  14  commanded  by  Leiut.  Ward:  Collonell 
Rumsden  12  commanded  by  Lieut.  Coll.  Galbreth  :  Collonell 
Cttttler  12  commanded  by  Capt.  Ogleby.  After  the^e  gentle- 
men followed  Leiutenant  Fevell  (Captin  Himsworthes  Leiut.) 
with  10  musketers  to  a  little  worke.  All  the  rest  followed  Capt. 
Himsworth  who  assaulted  the  great  trench.  They  cleared  the 
little  worke  and  the  great  trench  with  much  vaUor,  beate  the 
enemy  up  to  another  trench  nearer  the  bridge ;  there  was  kild 
in  the  great  trench  17  men,  and  many  hurt.  Our  cannon  plaid 
20  shott  during  the  time  and  did  much  execution.  There  was 
one  Captin  Wade  taken  prisoner  and  4  souldiers ;  it  is  thought 
there  was  killd,  hurt,  and  taken  prisoners  50  men  at  least, 
1  leiutenant  killd,  taken  60  armed,  7  drummes.  {Sally.)  Our 
horsemen  did  sally  forth  with  38  horse  under  the  commaund  of 
Captin  Beale  and  Corronett  Speght,  stayd  all  the  time  upon 
Baghill  and  there  faced  the  enemy  that  their  horse  never  came 
forth  to  any  rescue.  Captin  Washington  and  Corronet  Speght 
rid  out  in  tne  after  noone  with  2  horsemen  more  and  mett  with 
one  quartermaister  Hill,  and  tooke  him  and  his  horse,  and 
brought  them  to  the  castle.  That  afternoone  we  playd  6  can- 
non and  4  sling  pcses,  but  what  hurt  is  not  knowne. 

This  day  there  came  newes  from  Bonevant  (the  governor  of 

*  "  Some  ot  Pomfret  garrison  sallied  out,  but  were  beaten  back  with  the  loss 
of  Colonel  Tindall,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Middleton,  and  other  officers,  and  many 
soldiers."  (Whitelocke,  under  April  15.)  It  does  not  follow  that  Whitelocke's  date 
is  quite  accurate,  but  it  is  singular  that  the  diary  is  silent  as  to  this  transaction. 
Boothroyd  supposes  that  it  happened  in  connection  with  some  party  sent  out  from  the 
castle  to  Sandal  or  elsewhere,  and  beyond  the  enemy's  works,  and  was  unknown  to 
Mr.  Drake  at  the  time.  Tindall  was  only  Lieut. -Colonel.  (See  page  b.)  **  Leonard

gave  fire  upon  them  and  beat  them  into  their  gaurd,  and  killd 
one  of  them  and  hurt  another.  This  day  we  fired  the  lower  end 
of  the  towne  and  the  lower  end  of  MunkhiU. 

19.  {Sally,)  A  few  of  our  foot  went  out  to  Munkhill,  and 
beate  the  Scottes  3  times  from  their  workes,  and  killd  2  at 
one  time,  and  there  was  seene  divers  to  faule  at  other  times. 
{Sally.)  And,  in  the  after  noone,  3  of  our  men  went  up  Grange 
Lane  and  beat  the  Scotts  from  the  upper  end  of  the  lane  where 
was  seene  1  or  2  to  fall  at  that  time.  That  day  we  shot  3  can- 
non, one  of  them  to  Baghill  (loaded  with  case  shott),  and  shott 
thorow  the  hedge  where  lay  many  of  the  enemyes  foot,  and  there 
was  seene  diveres  hattes  to  fly  of  and  is  supposed  many  men 
killed. 

20.  Simday  morning,  the  Scottes  fired  the  upper  end  of 
Munkhill  about  4  of  the  cloke,  and  fell  a  trenching  from  the 
upper  end  of  Bondgate  Millne  dame  to  Wardes,  theire  barieade 
at  Cherry  orchard  nead  neare  Newhall,  and  from  thence  made 
bulwarkes  in  divers  places  to  Munkhill  topp.  This  day  we 
playd  5  cannon,  whereof  one  was  to  theire  barieade  upon  the 
back  of  the  schoolehouse,  and  shott  it  thorow,  where  there  was 
many  of  their  men,  &  is  supposed  did  great  execution.  The  rest 
was  shott  into  the  towne,  &  one  of  them  to  Newhall.  This  day 
the  Scottes  made  a  strong  allarum  among  themsellves,  and  a 
musketer  of  theirs  killd  a  major  of  theires  for  a  Cavelear. 

21.  The  iron  gunne  whicn  lay  in  the  outworke  above  the 
Upper  gate  was  fecht  in  to  be  planted  upon  the  Mount  *  before 
the  Castle  gate  which  was  then  making  ready  for  hur  being 
there,  but  was  not  finished  fitt  to  play  till  the^24th  day.  At 
night  the  beseegers'in  the  Upper  towne  brought  about  40  or  50 
musketeres  to  Baghill,  and  there  lined  all  allonge  the  hedge  and 
the  dike  with  them,  which  gave  fire  (for  two  howers  and  a 
haulph  or  more  upon  our  men  which  were  making  the  platforme 
for  the  gunne)  very  vehemently  but  did  no  hurt  there. 

This  aftemoone  the  Scotts  sent  a  drumme  to  the  castle,  and 
Captin  Flood  and  a  souldyer  was  sent  to  fetch  him  in  from  the 
Lower  gate :  but  the  Scotts  shott  from  Munkhill  at  them,  and 
shott  the  souldyer  through  the  legge,  and  after  the  bullitt 
CTased  upon  Captin  Fluddes  legg,  and  numned  it  a  little,  but  no 
hurt ;  the  souldyer's  name  that  was  shot  was  Anthony  Foxkroft. 
That  day  we  shott  one  cannon  into  the  towne.  Captin  Grim- 
stones  man,  being  taken  with  the  enemy  as  he  was  coming  to 

*  There  was  found  in  the  Park  closes 'about  1793  a  ball  weighing  58  lb.  and  up. 
wards,  which  iu  Boothragrd's  time  belonged  to  Mr.  Milton  of  Spittle  Hardwick.  It 
■Bight  hare  belonged  to  either  party  engaged  in  the  siege.  Many  balU  of  40  lbs. 
weight  hare  been  found  in  and  near  the  town.

OF  PONTEFRACr   CASTLE.  29 

wick),  88  she  was  carying  a  stand  of  ale  to  the  souldyers  at 
Newhall,  and  brought  hur  with  the  ale  into  the  castle,  (but 
eased  hur  of  hur  money  she  had  about  hur  before).  She  con- 
fess^  the  battell  which  was  made  about  Westchaster,  and  that 
the  kinge  had  there  gott  the  better,  and  that  the  beseegers  in 
Pomfret  were  not  to  stay  above  2  or  3  daies  at  the  furthest. 

26.  The  beseegers  from  the  Upper  towne  came  up  to  Baghill 
in  the  forenoone  with  about  50  musketers  and  about  a  troope  of 
horse  in  severall  companyes.  The  foot  lined  the  hedge  and  the 
dike  all  along  Baghill,  and  shott  very  furiously  for  about  4 
bowers  together,  but  did  no  hurt  at  all  to  the  beseeged.  During 
that  time  we  playd  6  cannon  and  4  sling  peeses,  but  what  execu- 
tion was  done  by  the  cannon  is  not  knowne,  but  we  saw  eaither 
hattes  or  heades  flye  up  at  the  fall  of  the  bullitts,  and  the  bul- 
littes  grased  amongst  them  3  times,  from  whence  was  heard 
great  exclamations  at  one  time.  (Saili/,)  In  the  aftemoone  3  or 
4  of  our  souldyers  did  sally  forth  to  Munkhill,  and  beat  16  of  Sr. 
John  Saivell  men  3  times  from  the  howses  at  MonkhiU  to  theire 
workes,  and  after  tooke  a  souldyer  in  Munkhill  closes  &  brought 
him  into  the  castle.  That  day  we  killd  one  man  from  the  Round 
tower  in  the  morning,  &  4  men  more  in  theire  trenches  at  night, 
at  the  releeving  of  their  sentryes,  from  the  Round  tower. 

26.  The  be»eegers  from  the  Upper  towne  came  to  Baghill 
about  8  a  clock  with  about  40  or  50  musketers,  and  lined  the 
hedge  &  dike  all  alonge  the  hill  side,  and  shott  very  hard  for  6 
or  6  howers,  but  without  any  hurt  to  the  beseeged.  At  that 
time  was  1  cannon  shott  full  amongest  parte  of  them  but  what 
execution  it  did  unknowne  to  us.  There  was  one  cannon  playd 
more  into  the  Graimge  lathe  where  there  was  many  officeres  and 
souldyers,  and  1  cannon  more  up  into  the  towne  into  the  Mar- 
kitt  place.  That  cannon  killd  one  man  against  Mrs.  Jackson 
doore  and  so  grased  up  the  Markitt  place. 

{8ally.)  Ahoxxi  noon,  7  or  8  of  our  souldyers  sallyed  forth  to 
Munkhill,  and  there  fought  with  a  party  of  Sir  John  Saivell's 
souldyers,  killed  one,  laymed  another,  and  beat  them  into  theire 
trencnes.  There  came  allso  about  40  horse  into  the  Closes  hard 
by  Mimkhill  to  have  taken  our  men  but  they  retreated  a  little 
wick  within  muskitt  shott  of  the  castle,  but  the  horsemen  durst 
not  come  within  that  compasse.  (Sally.)  About  2  a  clock  allso 
there  went  up  again  to  Munkhill  5  of  our  souldyers,  and  gave 
them  a  larum,  and  beate  them  back,  and  killed  another  man,  and 
brought  him  away  with  them  down  to  Denwell,  and  went  up 
againe  and  killed  another  horseman  which  came  braving  up  to- 
wardes  them,  but  that  horse  and  man  was  both  fetch  of  and  that 
man  was  caryed  behind  another  man  to  Pomfrett  where  he  dyed

OF   PONTEFRACT  CASTLE.  31 

not  put  forth  our  cattell  to  grasse.  In  the  forenoone  there 
came  downe  3  very  good  hoggs  downe  at  Erode  Lane  end  to- 
wardes  the  castle,  and  our  souldyers  seeing  them  (out  of  Bar- 
bican), went  out  and  fetcht  them  in,  which  was  a  good  booty  for 
the  Bouldyers.  About  12  of  the  clock,  a  killnehowse  of  Mrs. 
Oatses,  (neare  to  the  Upper  church),  was  sett  on  fire,  but  by 
what  meanes  is  unknowne  to  us.  During  the  time  of  the  burn- 
ing our  cannon  made  7  shott  to  that  place  and  to  the  places 
thereaboutes,  but  what  execution  was  done  is  uncerteine  to  us. 
Our  men  shott  very  hard  all  the  day  into  theire  workes,  as  well 
as  they  to  us,  where  there  was  scene  one  man  of  theires  kiUd 
and  diveres  shott  and  carryed  of,  but  we  had  not  any  man  hurt 
(praised  be  God).  {Sally.)  That  night,  about  11  a  clock,  6  of 
our  souldyers,  commanded  by  one  Lowder,  sallyed  forth  downe 
to  their  worke  below  the  Low  church,  gave  them  a  larum,  beate 
them  from  their  workes  to  Newhall,  which  caused  them  to  give 
fire  throughout  all  theire  workes  round  about  the  castle :  and 
that  night  was  100  men  working  in  their  trenches  at  Baghill, 
but  went  not  fare  forwardes  by  reason  of  the  stones  there. 

28.  The  beseegers  from  the  Upper  towne  about  6  a  clock 
came  with  above  150  men  to  releeve  those  whicli  were  on  Bag- 
hill  all  night,  and  wrought  still  forwardes  in  their  trench  all 
the  day,  and  shott  very  furiously  upon  the  least  occation,  but 
did  no  hurt  to  the  beseeged :  and  we  drive  out  our  cattell  to 
grase  neare  the  castle  and  brought  them  in  againe  in  safety 
after  they  had  been  feeding  most  parte  of  the  day.  {Sally,) 
About  9  or  10  of  the  clock,  3  or  4  of  our  men  went  to  Munkhill, 
and  there  met  with  sume  parte  of  Sir  JohnSaivells  men,  &  killd 
one  of  them  and  came  back  againe.  About  11  of  the  clock  there 
went  200  horse  from  Pomfrett  (or  the  townes  thereaboutes) 
thoroug  the  Parke  to  Ferry  brigges,  {Sally,)  and  about  3  a 
clock  12  of  our  souldyers  went  forth  to  Munkhill  without  any 
order  or  knowledge  of  the  Governor,  being  led  up  by  one 
Lowder  a  souldyer,  a  good  stout  man,  gave  an  alarum  to  Sr 
John  Saivells  quarters  about  Newhall,  from  whence  issued  foorth 
neare  100  souldyers.  Our  men  charged  them  bravely  till  they 
came  almost  close  to  one  another,  where  our  men  killed  2  of 
theires,  and  wounded  as  many  men  (as  is  thought)  of  theirs  as 
went  up  of  oures,  and  then  they  basely  runne  away,  and  tooke 
one  of  the  killed  men  along  with  them,  but  the  otner  our  men 
brought  downe  with  them  to  Den  well  and  buryed  him  by  the 
other  was  killed  2  daies  before ;  though  they  su£Pred  our  men 
which  were  killed  at  the  Low  church  to  lye  there  10  dayes  un- 
buryed,  having  been  often  sent  to  and  requested  to  doe  it.  This 
day  we  shott  2  cannon  and  one  sling  peese  to  Baghill  but  what

OF   PONTEFRACT  CASTLE.  33 

May  1.  This  morning  the  enemy  releeved  their  trenches  on 
BaghUl  very  yearely,  with  (as  we  supposed)  150  men,  where 
they  had  made  a  Triangle  worke,  and  walled  it  with  stone,  and 
filled  it  with  earth,  and,  as  we  conceived,  there  was  a  little  work 
within  it  for  officers  to  sitt  in  &  to  shelter  them  from  rayne :  we 
playd  one  cannon  to  it  that  mominffe,  which  burst  the  stone 
wau  without  and  we  supposed  shott  through  the  inworke  allso, 
where  they  was  drinking  (for  they  had  greate  store  of  ale 
brought  them  that  morning)  and  very  many  of  them  nmne  out 
of  that  worke  very  fast.  So  that  we  supposed  the  cannon  did 
good  execution.  That  day  they  shott  very  slowly  both  from 
Baghill  and  from  their  lower  worke  in  the  Round  close  under 
Baghill.  {Sally.)  In  the  aftemoone  8  of  our  men  went  out  to 
ilunkhill,  where  Sr.  John  Saivell's  company  had  lined  a  long 
hedge  and  a  deepe  ditch  with  about  60  or  70  men.  We  shott  at 
them  from  the  castle  with  our  muskitts,  as  well  as  those  8  of 
our  men  which  went  up  the  hill  into  the  ditch,  and  at  that  time 
we  killed  2  officers,  and  our  men  runne  hastely  into  the  ditch 
and  beat  them  all  away  where  they  runne  all  away  very  basely. 
Our  men  then  retreated  do^^e  the  hill  and  had  summe  more 
ammunition  sent  to  them.  After  that  the  enemv  drue  up  a 
great  parte  of  their  horse  which  they  had  both  in  tne  towne  and 
at  Newhall,  &  they  drue  up  the  foot  allso  from  both  places,  but 
the  horse  staid  not  within  muskitt  shott  of  the  castle.  (Sallyea 
2.)  Our  men  fell  up  twise  more  to  Munkhill,  and  beate  them 
from  the  hedges  into  theire  workes,  and  killed  them  2  men  more 
at  that  time,  and  shott  many  more.  After  that  went  up  3  men 
more  from  the  castle,  and  beate  them  from  theire  workes.  Our 
men  then  retreated  back,  and  in  theire  retreate  one  of  those  3, 
(his  name  was  Nathanyell  Sutton,  a  barber,)  was  shott  into  the 
shoulder  &  so  into  the  body,  whereof  he  dyed  instantly,  but  our 
men  brought  him  oflfe.  TOiere  was  another  of  those  o  allso  was 
shott  on  his  brow  and  it  entred  the  skull  a  little,  so  that  [we 
hope  in  a  short  time  he  will  recover,  erased^he  is  well  again 
\_stib8titutedl,  (his  name  was  Captin  Dent).  The  3th.  of  those 
men  was  allso  shott  through  his  dublitt  as  he  stooped,  and  so  it 
went  up  to  his  neck,  but  never  bruised  the  flesh,  so  that  he  was 
not  hurt.  He  was  a  drummer,  but  had  no  drumme  at  that 
time.  Our  men  had  done  very  good  service  that  day,  if  those 
three  men  had  not  gone  up  without  either  order  or  commaund. 
That  night  the  enemyes  cut  bowes  under  Baghill  and  made 
blindes  at  either  end  of  their  Triangle  worke,  and  planted  a 
drake  (as  we  supposed).  About  the  beginning  of  May  the 
enemy  brought  againe  a  long  drake  belonging  to  Sr.  John 
Saivell  and  planted  hur  upon  Baghill  upon  the  south  side  of  the

OP   PONTBFRACT   CASTLE.  35 

toppe  of  the  hill  tiU  they  came  to  Widow  Tupman's  howse 
(which  they  had  burnt,)  and  in  it  they  kept  their  sentry  howse, 
and  shott  out  of  it  when  they  could  see  any  occation,  but  they 
did  no  harme  all  the  day.  There  was  great  shooting  from  their 
trenches  about  Paradise  orchard,  Trinities,  and  Mr.  Lunnes,  and 
Mr.  Rusbyes  against  the  Round  tower  and  the  north  side  of  the 
castle,  but  they  did  no  harme  to  the  beseeged,  but  we  shott 
from  the  Round  tower  very  hard  and,  at  the  releefe  of  their 
gards,  we  killd  one  man,  and  shott  many  more  of  them. 

6.  The  enemy  releeved  theire  gaurdes  this  day  at  Baghill  as 
at  other  times,  but  shott  very  little  from  thence  all  the  day,  nor 
from  their  gaurdes  at  Munkhill,  but  in  all  theire  workes  up  the 
towne  they  shott  very  hard,  and  we  likewise  at  them,  where  we 
killd  one  of  them  in  Paradise  orchard,  &  allso  another  in  theire 
trenches  on  Mr.  Lunnes  backside,  &  shott  3  or  4  more  of  them. 
There  came  in  this  day  a  horse  litter  from  Ferrybrigges  into 
the  towne,  which  went  away  next  morning  the  same  way  it 
came.  We  supposed  [it]  aid  carrye  away  summe  wounded 
officer  in  it.  That  day  we  playd  2  cannon  to  Baghill.  A  little 
before  the  shooting  of  the  first  was  2  women  scene  to  bring  2 
standes  of  ale  into  their  Triangle  worke,  at  which  time  the  first 
cannon  plaid  full  into  that  work,  &  made  a  breach  into  it,  &  we 
supposed  did  summe  execution  for  they  runne  very  fast  out  of 
the  worke :  and  the  other  cannon  drive  away  3  or  4  stones  from 
the  toppe  of  the  worke  amongst  them  which  was  within,  but 
whether  any  execution  was  done  or  not  is  not  knowne.  This 
night  there  came  into  the  castle  a  sargient  from  the  enemy, 
which  told  us  simame  news  of  the  enemyes  proceedinges  in  the 
towne. 

7.  This  morning  the  enemy  shott  of  theire  drake  from  Bag- 
hill to  the  castle  (it  was  loaded  with  case  shott),  and  scarce  hitt 
the  castle,  for  summe  parte  of  it  hit  the  stable,  and  summe  the 
battlementes  of  the  castle,  and  the  rest  flew  over  the  castle,  but 
did  no  hurt  at  all.  The  enemy  shott  one  of  our  men  from  Bag- 
hill as  he  was  working  in  a  trench  in  the  Barbican.  They  shott 
very  little  all  this  day  from  all  theire  workes.  In  the  afternoone 
there  came  10  of  the  enemyes  souldyers  vaporing  with  their 
swordes  into  the  Lower  church,  but  8  of  our  men,  seeing  them, 
went  downe  with  their  muskitts,  gave  fire  upon  them,  and  they 
runne  away  as  fast  as  they  could.  This  afternoone  at  the  re- 
leeving  of  theire  gaurdes  we  killd  one  man  in  the  trench  behind 
Mr.  Rusbyes,  and  there  was  2  or  3  more  laymed  in  the  out 
workes. 

8.  This  day  was  but  little  shooting  on  all  sides  till  the  after- 
noone at  the  releeving  of  their  gaurdes,  at  which  time  we  killd

OF  PONTKFRACT  CASTLE.  37 

our  men  was  looking  out  of  a  porthole  on  the  Round  tower  (a 
Wright  by  trade),  and  seldome  using  to  rome  thether,  but  he  was 
shott  thorow  the  arme,  and  though  at  a  weekes  end  fbll  of  payne 
yet  there  is  no  signe  of  his  death.  We  had  allso  a  boy  about  9 
yeares  of  age  (as  he  was  getting  of  greene  sawse*  without 
Swillington  tower)  was  dangerously  shott  in  the  belly  from 
their  works  at  Munkhill.  This  night,  also,  a  gentleman  of  ours 
was  talking  with  one  of  the  enemyes  officers  upon  the  Round 
tower,  conditioning  that  neither  side  should  shoot,  but  yett  one 
of  the  enemies  souldyers,  contrary  to  conditions,  shott  in  at  the 
poarthoale  side,  where  the  bullitt  erased  upon  the  side,  and  so 
nitt  the  gentleman  upon  the  buckle  of  his  gerdle  and  burst  it, 
but  (praised  be  God)  did  not  so  much  appeare  as  the  very  show 
of  a  hurt. 

12.  This  day  there  was  fire  given  very  freely  on  both  sides 
but  not  any  hurt  four  knowledg  on  either  side.  About  8  a 
dock  our  iron  gunne  plaid  to  Baghill  but  what  execution  it  did 
is  not  knowne.  This  night,  about  9  a  clock,  our  gentlemen  and 
souldyers  being  merily  disposed,  did  drinke  whole  heallthes  (of 
the  New  well  water)  to  the  King  and  all  his  good  freindes, 
pledging  one  another  with  such  hallowes  and  shoutes,  as  the 
enemy,  wondring  what  should  be  the  cause  of  such  sudden  joy, 
took  an  allarum,  drew  out  all  theire  horse  into  the  feild  and 
dobled  all  their  gaurdes  (which  pleased  us  well)  and  then,  our 
taptoo  being  beat,  every  man  to  his  gaurdes  or  to  his  bed. 

13.  This  day  we  kill  one  of  the  enemyes  upon  Baghill,  and  2 
firom  the  Round  tower  and  divers  more  were  hurt.  They  grow 
now  so  fearfull  that  they  will  scarcely  looke  out  of  their  trenches 
but  when  they  are  forced  to  releeve  their  gaurdes.  This  day 
were  carrj'ed  away  3  oi;4  lodes  of  goodes  towardes  Ferry  Bridege, 
which  makes  us  thinke  they  will  not  stay  long. 

14.  This  morning  the  enemy  drive  both  sheepe  and  catteU  to- 
wardes Ferry  Brigge.  Some  thought  it  was  to  victuall  Yorke, 
ethers  thought  it  was  to  prevent  our  army  from  having  any 
-victual,  for  they  fetcht  them  from  the  townes  nere  about  Pom- 
phrett.  In  the  aftemoone  Coronett  Thurley  was  shott  in  the 
anne  in  Barbican.  There  was  this  day  one  of  the  enemies 
killd  and  devers  shot  from  the  Round  tower. .  About  5  a  clock 
there  came  a  troope  of  horse  riding  fast  from  Daimcaster,  fewer 
of  them  rid  into  the  towne  and  the  rest  to  Newhall.  In  the 
cevning  all  their  horse  was  drawne  up  in  a  body  into  the  Parke, 
to  what  end  is  not  knowne.     This  night,  Captin  Benson,  with

X  OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  39 

dobled  their  gaurdes  and  charged  again  upon  them,  so  our  men 
retreated  and  came  into  the  castle.  About  5  a  clock  a  few  of 
our  men  went  forth  to  their  worke  below  the  Low  church,  and 
save  fire  upon  them,  then  they  drew  out  about  30  men  into  the 
Graunge  barne,  right  opposite  againt  our  men.  Then  our  men 
fell  into  a  thick  orchard  of  trees,  &  so  they  gave  fire  one  against 
another  for  haulph  an  hower,  and  then  our  men  retreated  againe 
into  the  castle  without  any  hurt  to  our  knowledg.  {Sally.) 
About  11  a  clock  in  the  night  we  made  out  a  party  nere  about 
40  men  to  a  new  worke  the  enemy  had  made  at  the  bottom  of 
the  Abbey  cloase,  where  we  itended  to  have  fallen  on  to  some 
good  purpose.  And  we  shot  of  one  cannon  from  the  Kinges 
tower  against  our  falling  on,  but  by  report  a  woman  got  out  of 
the  casUe  and  gave  them  intelligence,  but  it  is  sure  they  had  in- 
telligence, for  they  had  lined  all  the  hedges  thereabouts,  and 
call^  to  Captin  Smith  &  tould  him  they  were  provided  for  him. 
Neverthelesse  we  gave  fire  upon  them  for  almost  haidph  an 
hower  and  so  retreated  into  the  castle,  having  had  2  men  hurt 
in  that  service.  And  during  this  time  we  sent  out  Thomas  Han- 
son and  another  man  to  go  to  Sandoll  Castle. 

17.  This  morning  there  was  one  of  the  enemyes  killd  in  the 
Markitt  place  from  the  Bound  tower  and  we  had  one  man  shott 
going  out  of  Swillinton  tower.  There  was  this  day  a  drummer 
from  the  towne  &  allso  a  trumpiter  from  the  Lord  Mountgomm- 
reyes  brother ;  both  came  to  the  castle  together.  The  trumpiter 
was  fetcht  up  into  the  Governor's  chamber  and  stayd  there  for 
about  haulph  an  hower,  and  so  they  went  away  both  together. 
This  day  there  went  a  cariage  from  the  towne  loded  and  covred 
with  red,  and  drawne  away  with  14  oxen  and  a  horse,  and  went 
towardes  Knottinglay,  but  was  gone  the  next  morning  Tory 
yearly,  we  heard  not  whither.  The  trumpiter  tould  us  that  the 
enemy  was  not  above  8000  both  horse  and  foote  in  all  the 
country. 

18.  {Sally,)  Being  Sunday,  after  praiers  was  done  in  the 
morning,  the  Governor  staid  the  sarmon,  and  gave  order  that  all 
should  to  armes,  which  was  with  all  willingnes  performed.  Ould 
Major  Warde  was  commanded  to  the  New  mount  within  Bar- 
bican to  observe  all  the  towers  in  the  castle  towardes  Baghill 
that  no  man  nor  woman  should  make  any  signes  either  with 
hatt,  hand,  or  handkircher,  or  anything  ellse  that  might  be 
perceived  to  be  a  signe  to  give  notice.  In  the  intrim,  Uaptin 
Smith  &  Captin  Flood,  Ensigne  Killingbeck  and  Sargiant  Barton 
went  out  first  over  the  bridge  towardes  MimkhiU.  Capt.  Smith 
with  30  souldyers  went  up  by  Denwell  lane  to  the  outworks 
upon  the  back  of  Munkhill  &  beat  them  from  those  workes  &  so

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  41 

where  he  dyed  that  night,  and  allso  a  common  souldyer  scare 
grounded  and  taken  prisoner.  During  which  time  our  cannon 
>laid  twise  from  the  Kinges  tower  where  the  enemy  had  a 
noope  of  horse.  The  buUitt  grased  fidl  amongst  them  and  killd 
me  man  which  we  saw.  Two  cannon  more  was  shott  to  Bag- 
lill ;  the  first  was  loaded  with  case  shott,  havinge  16  dozen  of 
Duakitt  bullites  in  hur,  which  tooke  at. least  10  yeardcs  com- 
Mifise  jdst  upon  the  toppe  of  theire  worke  at  Bagghill,  from 
rhence  the  enemy  shott  not  one  shott  of  2  howers  after ;  and  the 
»ther  cannon  was  playd  at  a  company  of  horsemen  which  was 
)ehind  the  hedge  at  Baghill,  which  grased  amongst  them,  but 
what  execution  the  both  did  is  unknowne  to  us.  One  thinge  I 
lad  forgott,  for,  besides  the  light  pillage  our  men  brought 
iway,  yet  they  tooke  time  to  take  up  theire  armes  too,  as 
words,  muskuites,  haulbordes,  drummes,  saddles,  spades,  and  in 
jvery  trench  a  bagge  of  powder  and  some  match,  which  for  hast 
hey  had  left  behind  them.  That  night,  about  9  a  clock,  there 
WBB  2  waggons  loded  at  Newhall,  and  went  forwardes  Ferry- 
)ridge.  We  supposed  they  was  loaded  with  wounded  men. 
Ind  about  11  a  clock  there  was  a  great  fire  scene  upon  the 
oppe  of  Sandall  Castle,  which  continued  for  the  space  of  2 
lowers. 

19.  This  morning,  in  the  forenoon,  the  enemy  cept  theire 
v^orkes  so  close  that  we  could  scarce  gett  any  shott  betwixt  the 
^und  tower  and  the  Kinges  tower,  yett  we  kill'd  one  man  at 
heire  worke  side  in  the  bottom  of  the  Abbay  close.  Our  soul- 
lyers,  seeing  the  could  not  gett  any  shott,  fell  a  showting  upon 
he  leades  and  cryed  A  prince,  a  prince,  so  loud  and  so  strongly 
LS  that  the  enemy  tooke  a  strong  allarum,  fetcht  all  theire 
IOT86S  from  grasse  soddenly,  saddled  them,  and  drew  them  into 
he  Graunge  lane.  There  went  downe  from  the  t-owne  42  men 
o  Newhall,  and  as  many  to  Baghill  to  strengthen  theire  gaurdes. 
[n  theire  running  to  and  from  we  killed  3  or  4  more  of  the 
jnemyes,  and  woimded  as  many. 

20.  This  day  we  had  a  report  that  the  enemy  had  footmen  at 
Ferrybrigge,  but  at  noone  this  great  number  appeared  and 
proved  but  22,  thus  they  feed  their  souldyers  with  bragges. 
ifterwardes  there  appeared  about  200  horse  from  Ferry  bridge, 
narching  under  the  hills  from  Darington  to  the  Westfeeld,  and 
K)  into  the  Parke,  and  then  turned  into  the  lane  at  Tansill,  and 
$o  into  the  Parke  again.  Then  our  cannon  from  Treasurers 
ower  plaid  upon  them  and  killd  2  men.  And  then  they  made 
laste,  behind  the  ridge  of  the  hill  in  the  Parke,  out  of  sight ; 
md  that  night  there  came  6  or  7  more  troopes  to  them  and

OF   PONTEFRACT  CASTLE. 


erasedl  of  Major  Beamondes,  who  tould  us  that  the  Scottes  was 
marching  northwardes,*  and  rejoyced  much  at  the  wellfare  of 
their  landslordes.  With  this  tneire  creeping  into  favour  with 
theire  landslordes  we  tooke  as  a  good  sime  that  we  weare  in  a 
good  condition  and  that  we  should  shortly  regaine  our  liberties 
so  long  desired.  This  day  allso  there  came  a  captin  from  the 
enemy  (with  a  drumme)  to  speake  with  Captin  Speght,  who 
said  ne  would  tell  us  the  truth  that  the  kinge  was  advancing 
to  releeve  us  with  all  speede  f.  This  night  allso  went  Captin 
Washington  and  Leiutenant  Wheatelay  to  Sandall,  and  there 
was  a  great  bonefire  made  at  SandoU  Castle,  and  we  answered  it 
with  another  in  that  night,  which  we  tooke  for  a  signe  of  good 
newes.  We  had  allso  newes  that  they  f .  .  .  within  Skarbrough 
Castle  issued  forth  from  thence  and  killed  and  tooke  300  of  the 
enemyes,  and  nayled  up  their  cannon  and  burnt  theire  cariages 
and  so  retreated  into  the  castle^.  The  tennants  allso  before 
mentioned  tould  us  that  Collonell  Bruerton  had  drawne  offe  his 
forces  from  the  seege  of  Westchaster,  upon  the  report  that  the 
king  was  advanceing  §. 

24.  This  momiuff  about  3  a  clock  the  enemy  gave  fire  as 
though  they  would  have  entred  the  castle  presently,  upon  what 
reasons  we  know  not,  imlesse  they  were  greeved  at  the  bonefires 
upon  the  Round  tower  that  night,  for  they  shott  most  at  that 
place.  About  10  a  clock,  a  woman  which  was  gathring  of  pott 
nearbes  was  shott  by  the  enemy  into  the  thigh,  but  not  danger- 
ous of  death.  About  that  time  our  iron  gunne  shott  once  into 
the  towne  but  what  execution  it  did  is  not  knowne.  About  4  or 
5  in  the  aftemoone,  4  of  our  men  went  down  to  the  Low  church 
(where  the  enemy  was)  and  as  soone  as  the  enemy  espied,  they 
fled  all  away  but  one  (who  was  supposed  to  be  a  leiutenant). 
He  stayd  behind,  and  threw  stones  so  fast  that  our  men  could 


*  "  May  24.  The  House  sent  earnest  letters  to  the  Soots'  army,  and  messages  to 
the  Soots'  commissioners,  to  hasten  the  adyance  of  the  Soots  southwards,  to  join  with 
other  forces  to  pursue  the  King's  army."     (Whitelocke.) 

**  The  Scots'  army  retreated  again  northwards,  susj^ecting  the  advanoe  of  the  King's 
forces  that  way."     (Ibid,  under  May  270 

t  **  The  King  went  towards  Shropshire."     (Whitelocke,  under  May  20.) 

i  **  Letters  from  Scarborough  informed,  that  some  of  the  garrison  sallied  out,  and 
at  first  put  the  besiegers  to  a  stand,  but  they  recovered,  and  beat  back  the  enemy. 
Sir  John  Meldrum  wounded,  and  Lieutenant  Cockeram  and  other  officers  slain,  and 
some  of  the  garrison  slain.  Lieutenant  Colonel  Stanley,  was  taken  prisoner,  and 
carried  into  the  castle,  and  there  slain  by  them  in  cold  blood."  (Whitelocke,  under 
May  19.) 

$  *'  Sir  William  Brereton  drew  off  from  Chester,  to  prerent  the  King's  surprising 
of  his  forces."     (Whitelocke,  under  May  20.)

OF   PONTEFRACr   CASTLE.  46 

rne  removed  from  the  Mont  before  the  gates  and  planted  of 
platforme  withon  the  Upper  gates  where  she  was  before,  and 
we  plaid  one  shott  with  hur  into  theire  sentry  howse  over 
against  Mr.  Rusbyes,  where  it  gave  such  a  blow  as  they  runne 
out  of  it  by  40  or  60  at  altogether  and  was  thought  did  great 
execution.  This  day  allso  was  the  little  drake  planted  upon  the 
toppe  of  Swillington  tower,  and  was  twise  shott  towardes  Para- 
dise orchard  where  there  was  a  strong  gaurd  cept  in  that  worke 
all  along  the  hedge,  but  what  execution  they  did  is  not  knowne. 
There  was  one  Will.  Jubbe  and  a  boy  went  out  of  the  castle  to 
fetch  in  some  grasse  for  the  horses  and  cattell  (as  there  went 
out  many  more  besides  them)  but,  they  being  too  negligent  to 
looke  well  about  them,  the  boy  was  shott  in  at  the  mouth  side 
and  thorow  the  cheeke  but  not  any  mortall  woimd,  and  Jubbe 
was  taken  prisoner  and  caryed  up  into  the  towne,  where,  they 
finding  him  to  be  but  a  simple  man,  many  came  about  him  and 

Sve  him  good  store  of  stronge  ale  till  the  had  soundly  foxt 
m,  thinking  then  to  have  gott  good  intelligence  out  of  him 
and  in  the  night  brought  hun  towardes  Newhall  there .  to  be 
examoned,  but  in  the  way  (the  souldyers  being  not  too  vigilant 
over  him)  he  tooke  his  opportunety  and  slipt  away  from  them 
and  came  into  the  castle  again  before  11a  clock.  This  night 
aUso  came  in  Captin  Washington  from  Sandall  who  went  thither 
the  Fridday  night  before  and  brought  good  newes  of  the  Prince's 
good  proceedinges,  that  he  had  summons  to  Manchaster  to 
tume  out  the  women  and  children  out  of  the  towne,  or  ellse  he 
would  come  before  it,  that  Westchaster  seege  was  raised*,  that 
Darby  was  summoned,  and  that  Skerbrough  had  relieved  them- 
aellves,  killed  all  theire  officers  excepting  2  or  3,  and  had  killed 
and  taken  300  men,  dismounted  theire  great  iron  gunne  and  the 
2  pockitt  pistoles  with  all  the  rest  of  their  cannon  theare,  and 
that  they  had  nailed  their  gunnes  and  burnt  theire  cariages 
there,  and  had  taken  Skarbrough  towne.  Whereupon  for  joj 
was  a  boanefire  made  upon  the  toppe  of  the  Round  tower.  This 
day  allso  the  enemy  sett  on  fire  theire  owne  worke  in  the  North- 
gate.  We  suppose  it  was  by  some  mischance,  but  it  was  quench 
again  that  night.  There  was  allso  a  parly  this  night  betwix  3 
of  our  capteines  and  3  of  theires,  but  the  enemy  gave  fire  upon 
our  men  and  then  our  souldyers  gave  fire  towardes  theires  and 
so  the[y]  parted. 


*  "  Sir  William  Brereton  raised  his  siege  of  Chester,  and  drew  into  Lancashire  to 
join  with  the  Scots'  forces,  and  the  King's  forces  relieved  Chester."  (Whitelockc, 
under  Iday  22.)

OF   PONTBPRACrr   CASTLE.  47 

hence  or  from  Newhall.  And  Capt.  Joshua  Walker  with 
mt  20  snaphanches  *  went  out  through  the  howses  on  the 
side  of  the  Church,  and  so,  up  the  Closes,  to  the  toppe  of 
11,  where  they  mett  all  the  cattell  withe  the  Sandall  brave 
ers,  who  delivered  them  to  him,  and  then  went  all  back 
excepting  some  10  or  12  which  helped  to  bring  downe 
btell  to  the  castle,  but,  they  driving  them  downe  the  hill 
jt,  they  lost  many  of  them  f.  But  they  brought  in  97 
le  castle,  and  a  foale  above  a  yeare  ould  which  runne  in 
he  cattell.  And  then  our  drummes  beate  a  retreate  for 
•  men  to  fall  of  and  retire  to  the  castle,  which  they  very 
jT  did,  and  during  which  time  our  iron  gunne  plaid  3  times 
re  workes  in  the  towne  and  about  the  towne.  Thus  having 
Ddes  assistance)  releeved  the  castle  to  our  great  comforth, 
de  boane  fires  upon  the  towers  of  the  castle  and  played 
ur  cannon  from  the  Kinges  tower  into  Mrs.  Gates  howse  in 
arkitt  place  in  signe  ot  this  great  releef  which  God  had 
"^ed  upon  us,  not  having  so  much  as  one  man  hurt  during 
me,  but  onely  one  William  Dickson  who  was  firing  the 
gunne  was  shott  from  Baghill  on  the  side  of  his  cheeke, 
iver  touched  the  boane,  and  was  allmost  cleane  well  within 
9  after.  Our  commanders  had  very  much  to  do  to  kepe 
men  from  falling  upon  theire  workes  both  at  Baghill,  and 
hey  would  needes  goe  up  to  Newhall,  though  they  had 
wmd  to  the  contrarye. 
This  day  the  enemy  would  scarce  speak  to  us  of  all  the 

NAPHANCE  :  a  spring  lock  to  a  gun  or  pistol.  It  differed  from  the  modem 
in  the  hammer  not  forming  the  covering  of  the  pan.  The  term  was  some- 
plied  to  the  instrument  itself,  as  in  28  Archseologia,  139."  (Halliwell.)  Sir 
Beaumont  writes  from  Pontefract,  June  7f  1043:— ** For  the  match  yon 
r,  I  shall  shortly  send  you  some ;  but  I  put  you  in  mind  ooce  more,  to  use 
aphanoe  pieces  to  keep  centery  with,  as  that  will  save  our  match.''     (Booth- 

t  modem  fire-lock  was  invented  about  this  period,  and  the  improvement  was 
d  by  a  peculiar  fire-arm  called  the  snaphauncft  from  its  being  invented  and 
a  set  of  Dutch  marauders  called  tnaphans  or  poultry-stealers :  the  light  of 
ch  betrayed  them,  and  they  could  not  afford  to  purchase  the  expensive  wheel- 
ley  therefore  substituted  a  flint  for  the  pyrite,  and  an  upright  moveable  for- 
iece  of  steel  in  lieu  of  the  wheel ;  the  cover  of  the  pan  being  pushed  back,  the 
steel  was  brought  to  stand  over  it  and  the  spark  elicited  as  at  present.  The 
nee  was  known  as  early  as  Elizabeth's  time;  but  the  fire-lock  dates  firom 
635.  Before  this  invention,  the  wheel  lock  was  frequently  called  the  fire- 
lit  that  term  was  afterwards  used  for  the  modem  piece  alone."  (Planche.) 
'or  they  began  to  be  in  a  low  condition  within ;  and,  one  Tuesday  'night, 
nen  coming  at  unawares,  got  in  some  50  beasts.  Our  men  took  30  from 
the  castle  side :  6  or  7  horsemen  were  forced  into  the  castle,  that  had  not 
to  come  out.  After  this  they  grew  quiet,  and  made  no  sallies."  (Captn. 
Ddgson's  Memoirs.)

OF   POXTEFRACr   CASTLE.  49 

marched  up  into  the  towne.  This  night  the  enemy  made  a 
triangle  worke  in  the  closes  above  Denwell,  neare  to  the  upper 
side  of  Swillinton  tower,  to  prevent  our  sallying  forth  from 
thence.  About  3  a  cloc  in  the  morning  there  went  about  30 
souldiers  more  from  Newhall  up  into  the  towne.  They  marched 
(as  before)  in  single  file  through  the  Abbey  close. 

30.  This  day  the  enemy  shott  very  hard  from  all  their 
workes,  but  did  no  hurt  at  all,  (praised  be  God)  and  we  shott 
our  little  drake,  which  was  planted  upon  Swillinton,  6  times  to 
theire  new  worke  over  against  it,  where  we  beate  them  out  of 
the  worke  behind  the  outside  of  it,  but  what  execution  was 
done  we  know  not.  About  8  a  clock  towardes  night  we  shott  of 
the  CTcat  iron  gunne  into  theire  workes  behind  Mr.  Rusbyes 
and  Mr.  Lunnes,  where  it  shott  thorough  theire  workes  amongst 
them,  but  we  know  not  what  hurt  was  done.  This  night  the 
enemy  repaird  theire  new  worke  against  Swillington  tower. 

31.  This  morning  one  of  our  souldiers  killd  a  woman  in  the 
Markit  place  with  a  muskit  from  the  Round  tower.  The  enemy 
shott  very  hard  all  the  day  from  all  theire  workes  round  about 
the  castle,  but  did  no  hurt  at  all  (praised  be  God.)  In  the 
intrim  we  sent  some  shottes  amongst  them  with  our  muskitts 
when  we  saw  the  least  opportunitie,  to  keepe  them  in  play,  and 
likewise  we  mixed  amongst  them  some  cannon  shott.  We  shott 
in  all  6  cannon  and  most  of  them  to  the  Markitt  place,  where 
we  saw  3  draughtes  (which  came  empty  in  the  morning)  was 
loading  about  Bonny  Couper's  shoppe  and  thereabouts,  but  2  of 
those  cannon  was  plaid  from  the  Kinges  tower,  which  made 
them  soone  remove  their  standing  quite  away  and  went  to- 
wardes Ferry  bridge.  We  supposed  they  was  loaded  with 
goodes  out  of  the  shoppes  and  at  the  other  cannons  playing 
there  was  supposed  divers  to  be  shott,  for  we  saw  them  carrye 
away  3  men  at  one  time,  but  what  execution  more  is  not  knowne 
to  us.  The  Governor  of  the  towne  sent  a  complamentall  letter 
to  our  Governor  about  exchange  of  men  and  other  matters,  but 
in  the  conclution  he  writt,  beeing  too  weake  an  enemy,  [^Blank 
of  2  linen  as  if  for  extract,']  This  night  there  came  in  letters  to 
the  Governor  of  very  good  newes,  which  was  imparted  to  the 
gentlemen  the  next  morning. 

June  1.    This  morning  being  Simday  [the  governor  called  us 

and  read  the  newcs,  Newarke  besette — that W  .  .  .  . 

ington  was  both  taken,  erased]  and  allso  that  upon  Tewsday 
last  was  Darby  summoned  by  Sr.  Marmaduke  Langdall  and  also 
greater  confirmation  of  raising  of  the  seege  at  Skarbrough  and 
the  taking  of  many  coUonells  and  officers  and  the  killing  of

OF  PONTEFRACT  CASTLE.  51 

snoe  marchth  to  Darby,  after  which  (God  willing)  he 
kt  and  releeve  these  North  partes  *.  Iliis  day  we  had  a 
it  forth  to  gett  some  ^rasse  for  the  cattell  and  horses, 

many  more  besides  hrni),  but,  as  he  was  coming  in  at 
er  drawbridge,  was  shott  in  the  legg,  but  hit  not  the 
r  he  brought  in  his  burthen.  We  had  another  man  also 
ing  from  pnders  to  the  watch,  wheare,  leaning  upon  the 
ui  above  the  Upper  gate,  was  hitt  with  a  bullitt  came 
I  a  clifi  of  the  worke  was  made  befor  it,  and  so  shott  him 
he  arme,  and  then  OYcrquart  his  back  cleare  without 
les,  and  stuck  in  the  outside  of  his  back*  and  cutt  outj 

there  is  yery  good  hopes  of  his  recovery  for  his  arme  is 
t  [he  is  now  well  again,  inserted'].  After  this  there  was 
ion  shott  of  from  the  Kinges  tower  into  the  Markitt 
lere  there  was  great  store  of  company  and  did  great 
1.  There  was  sene  3  or  4  taken  up.  This  night  the 
spaired  a  little  the  new  worke  they  had  made. 
IS  now  shott  of  our  great  cannon  from  the  1th  May  till 
June  37  cannon  and  8  drakes,  and  the  enemy  shot 
bat  time  7  drakes. 

IS  day  the  enemy  shott  very  little  of  all  the  day  till  to- 
ight  and  we  killed  one  of  theire  men  in  theire  workes 
hfll  from  the  Queenes  tower.  They  likewise  shott  one 
en  which  was  sleeping  in  the  Low  barbican.  The  bullitt 
ed  upon  the  waU,  and  then  it  turned  the  bidlitt  so  that 
ipon  the  outside  of  his  arme,  and  ruiine  up  at  least  4 
trough  the  flesh,  but  touched  not  the  boane  and  so  he 
lUmost  well  againe.  We  shott  one  cannon  from  the 
x>wer  to  the  new  worke  in  the  Closes  imder  BagghiU 
he  Church,  but  the  gunne  lying  too  hie  for  the  pace 
execution.  This  nignt  they  begunne  a  new  worke 
ueare  to  Zachreye  Stables  orchard  head,  about  120 
Prom  the  other  and  this  night  allso  they  made  a  boane- 
L  Sandall  Castle,  which  so  soone  as  we  perceived  we 

with  another  upon  the  Round  tower.  One  thing  I 
ott,  that  at  the  releeving  of  theire  watch,  about  7  a 
3  enemy  gave  fire  from  all  theire  workes  round  about 
\  as  if  they  intended  presently  to  takiB  the  castle  with 
iskitts,  but  theire  fury  lasted  but  a  little,  and  not  any 
3  at  all,  (praysed  be  God.) 

dale's  regiment  were  ia  discontent  near  Leioetter  beoauie  they  might  not

end  the  other  at  the  other,  and  so  beate  along  towardes  the 
towne,  in  manner  of  Scotch  march  answering  one  another,  and 
there  was  one  or  two  beating  in  the  towne.  There  was  allso  a 
trumpitt  sounding  in  the  Parke,  to  make  ns  beleeve  (or  ellse 
theire  owne  souldiers)  that  the  Scotch  was  coming,  or  ellse 
for  feare  we  should  sally  forth,  but  we  never  regarded  it,  but 
the  enemy  stood  on  theire  gard  all  this  night  and  had  done  so 
the  night  before. 

7.  This  day  was  there  little  shooting  till  towardes  night  at 
the  releeving  of  their  gaurdes,  but  about  10  a  clock  our  men 
espied  a  souldyer  of  the  enemies  coming  downe  from  Munkhill 
to. the  mill,  where  2  of  our  men  went  out :  one  was  Jonathan 
(Sir  Jarvis  Guttler's  man,)  the  other  was  Rich.  Laipidge. 
Jonathan  tooke  him  and  brought  him  into  the  castle  and  eased 
him  of  his  money,  but  he  confessed  little  for  he  was  then 
dronke.  At  the  releeving  of  the  gaurdes  (as  before)  there  was 
very  hard  shooting  on  both  sides,  and  we  shott  from  all  places 
of  the  castle  because  we  had  about  21  men  was  getting  gras ; 
for  we  shouted  so  very  hard,  as  we  gave  the  enemy  2  allarumes, 
which  caused  them  to  draw  out  some  of  theire  men  from  theire 
lowest  worke  under  Broadelane  end,  and  we  beate  them  twise 
back  into  theire  workes,  and  killd  one  of  them  and  shott 
another,  but  what  ellse  more  was  hurt  we  know  not,  and  the 
enemy  shott  one  of  our  men  was  cutting  of  gras  into  the  side  .  . 
but  he  is  little  worse  for  it  praised  be  God. 

8.  This  day,  beeing  Sunday,  we  had  2  exceeding  good  sar- 
mondes  by  Mr.  Key  and  Mr.  Hirst.  The  enemy  sent  away  9 
prisoners  towardes  Yorke,  but  there  was  not  any  of  them  was 
taken  from  the  castle.  There  was  little  shooting  all  day  till 
about  6  a  clock,  but  none  hurt  then  of  either  side.  About  that 
time  we  espied  a  great  body  of  horse  from  the  towers  of  the 
castle  coming  from  Wenthill,  and  there  they  devided  them- 
sellves,  some  to  Cridlin  stoopes  and  5  troopes  came  allmost 
within  cannon  shott  of  the  castle,  and  so  went  towardes  Knot- 
tinglay.  These  horses,  with  divers  more  which  went  over  at 
Medlay  bridge,  was  reported  to  be  quartred  about  Tikhill, 
Rosinton  and  other  places  beond  Dajimcaster,  to  the  nomber  of 
400,  and,  hearing  of  our  army  advancing  towardes  these  partes, 
removed  theire  quarters.  They  brought  2  cariages  along  with 
them.  The  enemy  releeved  not  theire  gardes  at  Baghill  till 
towardes  9  a  clock  at  which  time  there  was  very  hard  shooting 
and  we  killd  one  of  them  coming  to  theire  low  workes  under 
Baghill  and  shott  another  man ;  but  in  the  night  the  Leiutenant 
CoUonell  put  out  his  meare  and  foale,  tyed  hur  in  a  doase  neare 
to  Swillington  tower,  but  the  enemy  espied  hur,  came  and  cutt

OF'PONTEFRACT  CASTLB.  55 

about  2  a  clock  the  Governor  commanded  all  men  to  their 
ArmeSy  which  was  presently  performed,  but  there  fell  a  shower 
of  raine  for  a  good  time,  so  as  all  men  gott  imder  shadow  till  the 
rayne  was  over.  About  4  a  clock,  when  it  was  cleare  a^ane^ 
and  then  having  had  orders  what  to  doe,  they  sallyed  foorth.      « 

(Salip.)  Captin  Munroe  led  out  the  first  company  and  with 
him  went  Leiut.  Moor  and  Sar.  Barton  with  30  musketeers; 
these  went  down  to  the  church,  and  so,  vewing  it  whether  there 
was  any  enemyes  or  no  and  finding  none,  went  through  it,  and 
so  to  Mr.  Kellomes  howse,  from  whence  f  [led]  out  some  <rf  the 
enemies  was  there;  and  there  he  stayd  with  his  company  to 
defend  that  place,  least  the  enemy  should  sally  forth  from  the 
lowest  worke  below  the  Church,  but  they  all  runne  away  at  the 
first  charge. 

Next  after  him  sallyed  forth  Captin  Smith  and  Captin  Flood, 
and  with  them  Aunchient  Blillingbec,  and  Anchient  Ottoway, 
with  80  musketeers ;  they  followed  after  Capt.  Munroe,  through 
the  Church,  and  so  through  Zachrey  Stables  howse  up  to  tne 
lowest  worke  the  enemy  had,  neare  to  his  orchard  head,  where 
Capt.  Smith  with  his  company  led  up  first  to  the  worke,  and  so 
past  by  it  a  little  forther  along  the  hedge  above  the  worke,  to 
prevent  the  enemy  from  sallying  forth  of  their  upper  workes  to 
the  releefe  of  those  who  was  in  the  lowest  worke,  which  place 
he  bravely  mantaynd.  During  that  time  Capt.  Flood  witn  his 
company  fell  upon  the  workes,  which  were  very  hard  to  enter, 
because  but  one  little  place  for  entrance,  and  that  so  narrow  and 
low  that  one  man  could  scarce  enter  but  must  stoope ;  there  he 
playd  upon  the  worke  and  shott  in  at  most  of  the  porthoales 
where  the  enemies  within  mantayned  the  worke  very  stoutly, 
Guid  shot  very  hard  at  our  men  so  long  as  a  forst  entrance  was 
made,  but  during  that  time  8  or  9  got  out  over  the  worke,  but 
3ne  or  two  of  them  was  shott  and  taken,  the  rest  got  away. 
Dapt.  Flood  entred  the  worke  and  tooke  the  captin,  the  sar- 
giant,  the  corporall  and  8  more  soare  wounded,  and  killd  all 
the  rest  within  and  about  the  worke,  and  so  retreated,  bringing 
the  prisoners  along  with  them  to  the  castle. 

CoUonell  Gilbreth,  with  Leiutenant  Wheatley  and  Leiutenant 
Warde,  with  40  volunteers  and  souldiers,  both  clubbes  and  mus- 
kitts,  were  a  reserve  in  the  orchard  hard  by  the  worke,  in  case 
the  enemye  should  sally  from  any  place  to  prevent  them. 

Lieutenant  Willowby  and  Leiutenant  Midelton  and  Sargiant 
Parker,  with  40  musketeers,  mantained  the  hqwses  on  the  ISforth 
side  of  the  Church  about  the  Starre,  and  there  prevented  the 
enemy  from  coming  frt)m  the  Graunge  lathe  and  that  parte  of

OF   PONTEFRACrr   CASTLE.  57 

before  said)  into  the  castle,  besides  divers  men  was  wounded ; 
and  our  men  brought  with  them  all  theire  muskits,  pikes,  pow- 
ther,  shott,  match,  with  all  other  amunition  was  within  the 
worke,  and  the  pillage  of  all  the  souldiers  which  did  not  a  Kttle 
rejoyce  our  men.  And  in  all  this  time  we  had  bu[t]  2  men 
wounded  whereof  the  one  is  dead  since^  The  other  is  but  little 
hurt,  and  those  was  shott  behind  the  bowses  on  the  north  side 
of  the  Church. 

During  the  time  of  this  sallying  forth  we  plaid  4  cannon.  3 
of  them  was  shott  out  of  the  iron«gimne  by  Will.  Ingrom  to  the 
upper  worke  about  80  yeardes  from  that  worke  with  cannon 
bullitts  and  once  with  case  shott  with  \_stc']  into  and  round  about 
it.  The  other  cannon  was  plaid  from  the  Kinges  tower  to  New- 
hall  and  that  waie,  but  what  execution  was  done  by  the  cannon 
is  not  knowne  to  us. 

After  all  this,  divers  of  our  men  went  forth  into  the  Church- 
yeard  to  gett  gras  for  the  cattell  and  horseyes,  where  we  had 
one  man  kild  and  another  man  shott. 

12.  This  morning  came  the  Lord  Fairfax  and  the  new 
Generall  Pointes  from  Yorke  to  Pomfret  with  4  troops  of  horse 
to  gaurd  him.  It  is  said  that  Poyntes  came  to  take  an  ac- 
countes  of  what  souldyers  the  ould  generall  did  deliver  to  him. 
There  was  little  shooting  this  day  till  towardes  night  at  the 
releeving  of  the  senteryes,  at  which  time  the  enemy  shott  very 
hard  from  all  theire  workes ,  round  about  the  castle,  at  least  a 
whole  volley  of  shott  from  every  place,  whereunto  we  gave  them 
answer  from  the  castle,  and  what  with  shooting  and  showting 
we  gave  the  enemy  a  strong  allarum,  which  caused  the  enemy 
to  bring  up  theire  horse  in  small  companies  to  the  further  side 
of  Baghill  but  staied  not  theare  any  while.  This  day  we  killd  4 
men  of  the  enemies  from  the  Church  and  about  6  a  clock  we  had 
a  man  shott  in  the  left  arme  was  going  downe  .to  the  Church 
but  no  danger  of  death.  The  Lord  Fairfax  and  the  new  General 
Poyntes  went  towardes  Yorke  againe.  Captin  Munroe  man- 
tained  the  Church  that  night  till  the  next  releeving. 

13.  This  day  the  new  Generall  Poyntes  came  from  Yorke 
poast  againe,  we  supposed  it  was  to  draw  up  all  theire  horse  to 
be  neare  together.  This  day  we  drue  downe  a  trench  from  the 
Lower  castle  gate,  through  Mr.  Taylomcs  orchard,  to  the  Church, 
for  the  safegaurd  of  our  men  thither,  which  we  allmost  finished ; 
and  made  blindes  of  bowcs  and  soddes,  which  the  enemy  had 
gott,  from  the  Church  to  Mr.  Kellomes,  for  our  men  to  gett  gras 
that  way.  wheare  they  brought  in  neare  100  burdin,  which  they 
got  neare  to  the  enemyes  works ;  for  our  men  did  so  ply  them 
with  shott  from  the  Steeple  that  they  durst  not  looke  out  of

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  59 

south  aide  of  Mr.  Kellomes,  to  prevent  our  men  for  getting  of 
gras  where  they  gott  before. 

16.  This  morning  we  had  a  boy  and  a  man  shott  as  they  was 
getting  of  apples.  The  same  boy  was  shott  through  the  side  of 
the  cheeke  about  a  weeke  before,  and  growne  well  againe,  but 
now  plajring  the  foole  and  calling  to  the  enemy  saying  why 
durst  they  not  shoot,  (Uid  they  no  neare  them,  but  they  presently 
shott  the  boye  through  the  body  and  the  man  into  the  thigh 
with  the  same  bullitt.  The  boy  is  not  likely  to  recover,  but  the 
man  will  soone  be  well  againe^  as^he  chirurgions  report.  There 
was  great  shooting  showting  and  rejoyceing  this  day  by  the 
enemy,  and  bragging  that  theyre  forces  had  beaten  and  routed 
the  Kinges  forses,  and  that  the  King  was  fled  and  could  not  be 
found,  and  sent  to  us  a  letter  of  it  into  the  castle ;  and  likewise 

-Generall  Poynts  sent  downe  a  gallant  man  in  apparell  with  a 
dnimme  and  a  letter  like  to  a  summons  to  our  Govemer,  to  dc- 
iirer  up  the  castle,  for  they  had  great  forces  coming  towardes  us,  but 
yet  there  teas  mercy  if  he  would  yeeld.  Our  Governor  no  sooner 
heard,  but  by  word  of  mouth  made  present  answer,  that  he  nei- 
ther feared  his  forces  nor  rallued  his  mercy,  and  bid  him  presently 
be  gone  and  tell  his  Mr.  soe^  and  then  he  was  sent  presently 
away.  But  we  had  a  letter  that  day  from  Collonell  Washington 
dated  14th  June*  at  Newark,  that  the  King  was  that  night  at 
Melton  Mowberey,  and  intended,  God  willing,  to  be  with  us 
within  10  daies,  and  this  battell  which  the  enemy  speakes  of 
should  have  beene  the  day  before,  which  we  conceive  not  be 
true.  There  was  this  day  4  or  6  waynes  loaded  in  the  towne 
and  went  through  the  Parke  towardes  Ferry  bridge.  We  playd 
allflo  3  cannon  this  day  from  the  Kinges  tower,  2  of  them  to 
Baghill  to  2  troopes  of  horse  was  theare,  and  one  to  the  Markitt 
place  to  some  horse  was  there,  but  what  hurt  was  done  is  not 
tuowne.  There  came  many  troopes  this  day  to  towne,  and 
quartered  about  the  town§.  Captin  Smith  with  20  musketers 
releeved  and  mantayned  the  Church  till  the  next  releefe.  This 
night  the  enemy  runne  a  trench  through  2  little  closes  neare  to 
the  worke  to  prevent  our  men  from  getting  of  gras. 

17.  This  day  there  hath  goane  many  loaded  waines  from 
the  towne  towardes  Ferrybridge.  The  enemy  would  gladly 
have  enlarged  theire  lowest  worke  where  we  tooke  so  many  of 
theire  men  in  it,  but  our  men  plyed  them  so  with  shott  from 
the  Church,  that  they  durst  not  looke  out  whilst  it  was  light. 
In  the  afternoone  there  was  very  hard  shooting  on  either  side 
but  we  heare  not  of  any  man  hurt.    Leiutenant  Wheatelay,  with

OF   PONTEFRACT  CASTLE.  61 

we  held  for  a  token  that  they  had  heard  the  good  newes  as  well 
as  we. 

19.  The  enemy  mustred  theire  men  this  day,  so  that  there 
was  little  shooting,  and  drew  up  theire  men  into  the  Markitt 
place  about  2  a  clock,  at  which  time  Will.  Ingrom  made  ready 
nis  iron  gunne  and  playd  to  them,  where  it  grased  but  a  little 
before  them,  and  so  went  through  them,  but  what  execution  it 
did  is  unknowne  to  us.  This  day  came  draughtes  back  againe 
which  went  the  day  before  towardes  Dauncaster,  and  the 
Governor  of  Poumphrett  came  back  to  the  towne  with  the 
Genrall  Poynts  with  him  from  Dauncaster*.  This  day  the 
enemy  made  great  poastings  up  and  downe,  never  resting.  At 
the  releeving  of  the  watch  Capt.  Joshua  Walker  went  downe  to 
releeve  the  Church  with  his  20  snaphanches  where  presently 
they  killd  2  of  the  enemy.  This  night,  about  11  a  clock,  was 
sent  from  the  castle  Captin  Washington  and  Lieutenant  Emson 
towardes  Newarke.  They  went  through  Denwell  lane,  and  so 
up  the  Closes,  and  gott  cleare  of  all  the  enemies  workes  without 
hearing  of  either  muskitt  or  pistoU  going  of  whilst  they^was 
within  the  hearing  of  the  castle.  This  night  allso  there  was  a 
great  boane  fire  made  upon  the  toppe  of  Sandall  Castle,  and  we 
answered  it  with  another  from  this  castle. 

20.  This  morning  Genrall  Poyntes,  (being  come  from  Daun- 
caster the  night  before,)  called  a  councell  of  warre,  and  he  and 
his  officers  sate  upon  it  as  the  Lady  Cuttler  tould  us,  who  came 
firom  them  at  noone  f.  This  day  we  had  newes  brought  us  of 
the  battell  which  the  enemy  gott  against  the  Kinges  forces 
neare  to  Harborow  as  they  was  coming  from  Oxford  J,  upon 
Fridday  night  and  Saturday  the  13th  and  14th  of  this  instant. 
But,  upon  Sunday  morning,  Genrall  Goring  with  Genrall  Jarett 
came  in  the  rescue,  and  plaid  theire  partes  bravely,  both  that 
day  and  the  day  following,  and  recovered  all  the  12  peeses  of 
cannon  was  lost  before,  and* all  the  forces  the  enemy  had  taken, 
with  all  theire  ammunition,  wheare  (it  is  said)  that  Gen.  Crom- 
well was  slayne,  and  we  gave  them  chase  to  Norhampton  from 
whence  the  enemy  had  drawen  allmost  all  the  forces  was  in  the 
towne  to  the  battell.  Thus  the  newes  came  to  us.  This  after- 
noone  the  enemy  came  to  Newhall  with  a  wagon  and  a  cannon 
in  it,  and  4  other  loaded  wayncs.     The  cannon  was  brought  up 

*  "  Colonel  Morgan  blocked  up  Sandal  Castle,  and  M.  G.  Poynes  went  to  Pomfret 
to  order  the  battery  there.''     (Whitelocke,  under  June  24.) 

t  Her  husband  died  in  the  castle  on  the  2r»th.  There  was  no  fresh  meat  for  him 
there.     See  under  the  2.'ttb.

a  siege  and  victualled.''     (Iter  Carulinum  )

OP  POKTBFRACr  CASTLE.  63 

He  tould  US  that  he  arreted  but  a  little  before,  and  said  that 
they  scarce  left  any  man  m  the  contrey  but  arreyed  them  and 
brought  them  thither.  He  likewise  tould  us  that  the  enemy 
gott  the  better  of  the  Kinges  forces  at  the  battell  the  2  first 
daies,  but  [th]at  after  the  King  recovered  all  was  lost  before 
and  routed  the  enemy.  This  night  the  enemy  brought  up  the 
cannon  from  Newhall,  and  planted  hur  against  the  Church. 
This  night  allso  we  begunne  to  make  a  new  worke  before  the 
Lower  castle  gate  to  prevent  the  enemyes  cannon  from  anoying 
us  there. 

22.  This  morning,  about  2  a  clock,  the  enemy  fell  upon  the 
Church  on  every  side  and  entred  into  the  Church  with  about 
100  men,  and  allso  came  up  our  trench  haulph  way  to  the  castle, 
and  allso  up  the  High  streete  towardes  the  castle,  but  our  men 
within  the  Steeple  and  the  Church  topp  plaid  theire  parte  very 
bravely,  and  beat  them  both  out  of  the  trench  and  highway^  out 
of  the  Church,  and  out  of  the  Church  yeard,  for  they  shott  with 
their  muskitts  and  likewise  threw  down  stones  amongst  them 
both  into  the  Church  and  Churchyeard  ;  and  likewise  our  men 
shot  from  all  parts  on  that  side  of  the  castle,  and  we  shott  2 
Bhng  peeses,  so  that  they  gave  them  small  comforth  to  tarry 
there.  We  killed  4  or  5  of  the  enemyes  men,  which  we  saw 
them  dragg  away  into  Mr.  Kellomes  howse,  besides  many  was 
shott  and  wounded,  and  carryed  away ;  for,  after  our  men  m  the 
Church  by  ringing  the  bell  theare  had  given  us  an  allarum  into 
the  castle,  we  made  them  too  hott  service  to  tarrye  there  and 
then  every  man  fled  to  theire  workes  carrying  theire  dead  and 
wounded  along  with  them.  (Sally.)  This  fight  continued  for 
haulph  an  hower,  for,  after  our  men  begunne  to  sally  forth  of 
the  castle,  they  presently  tooke  to  theire  heeles.  Presently  after 
this  was  done,  the  enemyes  cannon  (bearing  a  bullitt  of  18 
weight)  begunne  from  Munkhill  to  play  at  the  Lantime  of  the 
Church  steeple  and  played  13  times  within  little  more  then  an 
hower  and  a  haulph.  During  that  time,  our  cannon  from  the 
Kinges  tower  begunne  to  play  at  theire  worke  wher  the  cannon 
was  planted,  and  in  5  times  shooting  dismounted  their  cannon, 
80  that  they  plaied  no  more  that  day.  All  this  day,  (beeing 
Sunday),  the  enemy  cept  men  at  worke  making  ready  theire 
cariages  againest  the  next  morning,  which  they  finished.  All 
this  day,  after  this  mominges  worke  was  done,  was  little  shoot- 
ing on  either  side ;  but,  in  the  afternoone,  the  enemy  releeved 
all  their  gaurdes,  and  brought  downe  400  men  to  Newhall,  and 
Hkewise  there  went  as  many  back  from  thence  into  the  towne. 
Leiutenunt  Faivell  (Lieut,  to  Capt.  Himsworth)  releeved  the 
Church  and  mantained  it  till  the  next  releefe.     Thia  night  the

OF  PONTEFRACT  CASTLE.  65 

The  23th  day  they  playd  60,  that  night  they  playd  01. 
From  the  4tn  June  till  24,  29  cannon. 

24.  All  this  day,  till  about  5  a  clock  in  the  aftemoone,  there 
was  little  shooting  on  either  side,  at  which  time  we  playd  1 
shott  with  our  iron  gunne  into  theire  lowest  workes  against  the 
Church,  which  playd  through  the  worke,  but  what  execution 
was  done  is  not  knowne.  After  which  was  done,  the  enemy 
playd  1  cannon  to  the  Church  steeple  and  no  more ;  and,  after 
that  was  done,  there  was  hard  shooting  on  both  sides  with  mus- 
kittes  at  the  releefe  of  theire  gaurdes,  but  we  heare  not  of  any 
hurt,  excepting  one  of  our  soiudyers  was  getting  of  apples  was 
shott  in  the  legge. 

This  evning  was  Aunchient  Autterway  commanded  downe  to 
tiie  Church  with  2  files  of  musketeers,  but  not  to  stay  there 
any  longer  but  till  tapptoo  beate,  which  was  about  10  a  clock, 
and  then  to  retire  back  into  the  castle,  for  we  expected  the 
enemyes  falling  on  that  night  into  the  Church. 

(The  24th  day  they  playd  01.) 

25.  This  morning  about  1  a  clock  the  enemy  entred  the 
Church  *,  and  the  lower  end  of  the  Towre,  there  beeing  none  to 
resist  them,  at  which  time  our  musketeers  from  the  castle  shott 
very  hard  at  them,  and  likewise  we  playd  5  peeses  of  cannon 
from  the  Einges  tower  to  the  Church  steeple  and  allso  the  iron 
gun  from  the  Gaurding  playd  5  shott  into  the  Church  so  that 
fiiey  durst  not  appeare  in  the  Steeple,  but  what  execution  was 
done  is  not  knowne.  There  hath  beene  little  shooting  all  this 
day,  but  the  enemy  keepes  digging  up  dead  mens  corpes,  and 
making  a  worke  in  the  Church.  This  day  morning,  that  worthy 
knight  Sir  Gervis  Cuttler  departed  this  life,  the  enemy  not 
soffiring  any  fresh  meate  ever  to  be  brought  to  him  since  he  fell 
sick,  onely  one  chickin  and  one  poore  jojmt  of  meate  his  lady 
brought  with  hur  2  daies  before  he  departed,  neither  will  the 
enemy  suffer  him  either  to  be  buryed  in  the  Church,  or  con- 
veyed to  his  owne  habitation  to  take  place  with  his  auncetors  f. 
This  night  we  playd  our  iron  gunne  to  the  Church  but  it  was 
not  answered  againe  by  the  enemy. 

26.  This  day  we  had  newes  brought  to  us  that  Tanton  was 

*  "  M.  6.  Poyncs  took  the  charch  at  Pomfret."  (Whitelocke,  under  June  30.) 
t  This  gallant  loyalist  bad  made  bis  will  on  his  way  to  the  wan  in  Scotland  in 
1633 ;  and  as  it  is  printed  in  2  Test.  Ebor.,  1G8,  it  need  only  be  stated  here,  that  he 
dedred  to  be  buried  in  his  St.  James's  qoire  in  AUhallows  Church  in  Silkstone,  with- 
out pomp  or  ceremony,  but  with  decent  and  Christian  burial,  and  no  tomb  bat  a 
plain  stone,  with  Chriulo  Returgam  only  upon  it  He  raised  many  men  at  his  own 
charge,  and  took  his  family  pUte,  value  lOOO/.,  to  Pontefract  castle,  to  be  coined  into 
money  for  the  king's  service.  (2  Hunter's  South  Yks.,  2670  The  Lady  Cutler  hero 
mentioned  was  his  second  wife  Margaret,  daughter  of  John,  Earl  of  Bridgewster.

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  67 

Elayd  2  cannon,  with  one  whereof  they  play  through  the  Draw- 
ridge  and  allso  through  the  Lower  castle  gate,  the  other  plaid 
short  of  the  Drawbridge  and  lit  upon  a  peese  of  timber  and  rive 
it  in  peeses.  The  enemy  allso  snott  2  of  our  men  with  one 
buUitt  in  the  Barbican  from  Baghill,  but  did  them  very  little 
hurt.  And  we  killd  one  of  the  enemyes  from  the  Round  tower 
on  Mr.  Rusbuyes  backside.  This  night  was  a  boane  fire  at  San- 
doll  Castle,  and  we  answered  it  with  another  from  the  Roimd 
tower. 

rrhe  27th  day  they  playd  01.) 

28.  This  day  we  had  ncwes  .that  the  Scottes  begunne  to 
stoppe  up  the  passages  about  Newarke  and  to  beseege  it.  But 
the  Newarke  forces  presently  sallyed  forth  of  the  towne  and  fell 
upon  them,  killd  500  of  theire  horse  and  foote,  and  beate  all  the 
rest  quite  away  and  tooke  theire  cannon  along  with  them.  And 
this  we  imagine  to  be  true,  because  that  it  is  generally  reported 
that  this  day  there  went  by  6  or  600  horse  and  cariages  towardes 
Ferry  bridge,  and  is  supposed  that  the  cannon  went  along  .with 
them,  and  we  heare  that  the  most  of  the  Scotch  army  lyes  be- 
twixt Dauncaster  and  Rothrom  or  thereabouts.  This  evning  the 
Lady  went  forth  of  the  castle,  being  sent  for  by  a  drumme  from 
Ourton  (theire  governor)  to  goe  home  if  she  pleased.  But  when 
she  came  to  the  enemyes  first  gaurd,  they  stript  both  hur  and 
hur  wayting  maid  to  hur  very  smock,  and  likewise  hur  chaplin 
and  a  tenant  of  hurs  which  came  downe  with  the  chaplin  to  the 
sally  poart,  to  search  for  letters  but  they  had  none.  They  cept 
the  Lady  and  hur  mayd  at  theire  gaurd  all  night  till  the  next 
day  at  noone,  and  would  not  suflFer  hur  to  goe  up  towne,  (for  it 
seemes  the  Genrall  came  in  after,  and  denied  hur  coming  from 
the  castle.)  This  day  we  had  a  horse  turned  forth  into  the  Castle 
dikes  to  feede  there,  but,  the  gras  beeing  bad,  he  strayd  a  little 
further  to  the  sight  of  the  enemy  where  they  shott  very  hard  at 
him.  Our  men  ventured  to  fetch  him  back,  and  they  snott  very 
hard  at  our  men,  but  yett  they  fecht  him  of,  and  our  men  kild 
one  of  theire  men  with  great  hazard  of  theire  owne  lives. 

29.  Sunday.  There  was  little  shooting  all  this  day  and  the 
enemy  did  not  releeve  theire  gaurdes  till  about  9  a  clock.  A 
little  after  noone,  the  enemyes  Genrall  (Pojmtes)  sent  downe 
the  Lady  Cuttler  with  hur  wayting  maid  to  the  Barbican  gates 
againe,  she  having  not  had  any  meate  of  24  bowers.  Our 
Governor  of  the  castle  would  not  suffer  hur  to  come  into  the 
castle  againe,  because  they  had  sent  for  hur  out  and  given  hur 
free  liberty  to  go  home  to  hur  children,  therefore  he  thought  it 
stood  not  with  his  honor  to  be  so  fooled  by  them,  and  by  that 
meanes  the  poore  Ijady  with  hur  maid  and  hur  chaplin  staid

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTT.E.  b\) 

3wne  a  great  company  of  boughes  from  the  trees.  They  had 
eare  upon  20  axses  hewing,  but  instead  of  fauling  upon  us 
ley  made  a  baricado  at  Will.  Farrow  doore,  lest  we  should 
klly  forth  against  them. 

Jufy  1.  Of  all  the  wodde  the  enemy  cutt  downe  the  last 
Qight]  this  day  the[y]  made  up  gappes  to  turne  our  men  from 
oing  forth  to  gett  gras,  and  with  the  rest  of  it  they  [made] 
gates  of  which  they  made  a  baricado,  and  with  wodde  allso 
rossd  over  the  lane  going  up  to  Baghill,  and  from  the  end  of 
.  runne  a  trench  all  along  the  hedge  against  Alderman  Stables 
ackside,  of  which  they  have  shott  since  very  hard,  making  it 
dl  of  poart  hoales  to  shoot  out  at.  This  day  there  was  very 
ard  shooting  with  muskittos  on  both  sides,  and  we  cannot  con- 
nive but  that  we  killd  very  many  of  them,  for  we  shott  full 
tnongst  them  into  the  worke,  where  was  scene  divers  to  faule, 
>  that  there  is  many  wounded  or  killd.  We  playd  1  cannon 
■om  the  Einges  tower  up  into  the  towne,  but  what  execution 
^88  done  is  not  knowne.  This  eevning  the  enemy  was  scene  to 
ring  downe  some  ladders  to  the  lower  end  of  the  towne  and 
gates  allso,  which  made  us  doble  our  gaurdes,  and,  about  12  a 
lock  in  the  night,  the  most  parte  of  the  men  in  the  castle  was 
ommanded  downe  into  the  Cfastele  yeard  to  theire  armes,  to  be 
dady  if  the  enemy  should  make  any  assault,  (which  was  will- 
iffly  done.) 

2.  This  morning  one  of  our  souldyers  was  talking  above  the 
rpper  castle  gate  with  one  of  the  enemyes  in  theire  trenches, 
rmch  another  of  the  enemye  espying  and  shott  him  through 
be  head  whereof  he  dyed  instantly.  Presently  after  the  enemy 
•layd  theire  canon  to  the  Lower  castle  gate,  but  miste  his 
larke  and  hitt  the  wall  end,  and  so  did  no  harme  at  all,  but 
he  bullitt  fell  under  the  Draw  bridge.  In  the  aftemoone  our 
hitchman  playd  his  cannon  from  the  platforme  by  Treasurers 
ower  into  the  Markitt  place,  where  we  saw  2  or  3  kild  dead 
•efore  the  bullitt  grased,  but  the  enemy  runne  in  so  after  the 
hott  that  we  could  not  see  how  many  was  killd,  but  supposed 
here  was  many.  After  that  we  shott  1  cannon  fix)m  the  Kinges 
ower  to  Baghill  lane,  amongst  a  troope  of  horse,  where  we  saw 
no  horse  runne  away  without  his  rider :  what  more  hurt  was 
[one  we  know  not.  He  allso  shott  another  cannon  from  the 
Gnges  tower  to  into  the  Frealles  to  a  troope  of  horse,  but  what 
xecution  was  done  we  know  not.  Towardes  night  we  coidd  see 
.5  troopcs  of  horse  at  the  left  about  the  towne,  wherof  5  went 
lowne  to  Ferrybridge,  and  about  200  horse  went  out  of  Roper- 
^te  end,  and  so  through  the  Chequer  feeld,  facing  the  castle,  in 
i  single  file  over  Bagnill  lane,  towardee  Darrington,  and  the

OF  PONTEFRACr   CASTLE.  71 

there  went  about  100  men  downe  from  the  towne  to  FeiTy- 
brigges,  and  allso  about  50  more  from  Newhall,  we  supposed 
they  went  to  gaurd  the  bridge,  and  stop  their  souldyers  from 
riMining  away.  This  night  we  sent  2  men  out  towardes  San- 
doU. 

6.  This  morning  the  enemy  playd  1  cannon  to  the  Lower 
castle  gate  but  shott  short  of  tne  gate  above  20  yeardes  and  did 
no  harme  at  all.  The  enemy  allso  brought  into  the  towne  this 
morning  a  small  dimiculvarin  or  some  other  smaule  feeild  peese 
which  was  said  they  caryed  up  into  the  West  feild,  and  about  3 
a  clock  the  enemy  shott  of  theire  cannon  a^ine  to  the  Lower 
castle  gate  and  shott  thorough  the  Draw  bridge,  and  so  fell  be- 
twixt the  bridge  and  the  gato.  The  enemy  drew  all  theire 
horse  into  the  West  feild  from  all  theire  quarters  about  the 
towne,  and  drew  up  into  sevrall  bodyes,  and  there  staid  a  great 
parte  of  the  day ;  and  towardes  night  there  came  3  or  4  troope 
into  the  Parke,  and  so  went  downe  the  forther  side  of  the  Parke, 
and  80  came  downe  to  Newhall,  and  from  thence  went  up  to  the 
West  feild  againe,  where  we  supposed  the  most  parte  of  them 
stayd  all  night.  This  aftemoone  we  killd  2  of  the  enemyes,  the 
one  firom  the  Bound  tower  within  Mr.  Rusbyes  bancaao,  the 
other  from  the  Kinges  tower  neare  to  William  Farrowes  imder 
Munkhill.  This  night  we  cept  doble  watch  as  we  had  done  all 
the  weeke  before,  and  this  night  there  was  2  boane  fires  made 
upon  the  toppe  of  Sandall  Castle  and  we  answered  it  againe  with 
2  more  upon  the  toppe  of  the  Koimd  tower.  We  did  suppose 
that  by  those  2  boanefires  at  Sandall  we  was  to  have  ayd  within 
2  daies. 

(The  5th  day  02.) 

6.  This  day,  beeing  Sunday,  we  had  2  exceeding  good  sar* 
mondes  by  Mr.  Key  in  the  forenoone  and  Mr.  Hirst  in  the 
aftemoone.  There  was  little  shooting  on  either  side  of  all  this 
day,  and  the  enemy  drew  up  the  most  of  all  theire  horse  into 
the  West  feild,  where  they  continued  for  the  most  parte  of  all 
the  day,  and  towardes  night  they  drew  of  some  troopes  into 
several!  places  about  the  towne,  but  about  9  a  clock  at  night 
there  was  6  trurapitts  of  the  enemyes  sounding,  which  calld 
them  all  up  to  the  West  feild  againe  and  the  had  an  allarum 
given  and  the  souldyers  within  the  towne  stood  all  with  theire 
lighted  match  :  and  a  Welshman  (one  of  their  owne  souldyers) 
tould  ane  of  our  owne  souldyers  (a  Wellshman  allso)  that  all 
theire  horse  was  gone  towardes  Dauncaster  to  meete  the  Prince, 
but  they  was  returned  againe  before  morning.  This  night  we 
saw  2  boanefires  betwixt  Wentbridge  and  Dauncaster,  we  sup- 
posed they  was  for  horse  gaurdes.     This  night  allso  we  had  a

OF   PONTKFKACT   CASTLE.  73 

Low  contreyes  when  they  march  away  upon  a  forced  composi- 
tion. But  Captin  Lowder  made  answer,  that  the  castle  was 
cept  for  the  King,  and  if  they  stayd  14  daies,  and  14  daies  more 
after  that,  there  was  as  many  gentlemen  within  the  castle  as 
would  make  many  a  bloody  heade  before  they  parted  from  it  (or 
wordes  to  the  like  eflFeckte).  Then  the  Genrall  begunnc  to  give 
some  harsh  language,  and  say  that  our  souldyers  did  abuse  him 
in  base  wordes.  But  Capt.  Lowder  answered  him,  that  neither 
he  nor  his  father  could  rule  the  souldyers  tounges,  but  they 
would  speake  what  they  pleased.  And  then  the  Genfall  bid 
good  night  and  went  away.  There  was  of  the  enemyes  soul- 
dyers this  night  that  tould  to  some  of  our  souldyers  (theire 
frends)  that  we  had  helpe  coming  near  to  us,  and  that  they  in- 
tended to  be  with  us  as  soone  as  with  convenience  they  could, 
before  our  army  came  to  releeve  us. 

9.  This  day  the  enemy  hath  made  very  little  show,  but  we 
suppose  they  are  behind  the  hill  in  the  West  feild  or  there 
abouts  where  we  cannot  see  them.  There  hath  beene  very  hard 
shooting  this  day  both  to  the  castle  and  from  the  castle,  and 
the  enemy  makes  great  riding  both  from  the  towne  to  Newhall, 
and  likewise  back  againe  on  both  sides  of  the  castle,  but  we 
heare  not  of  any  was  killed  of  the  enemyes,  but  all  this  shooting 
could  not  be  but  that  there  is  some  killed  of  the  enemy,  but 
there  is  not  one  hurt  which  belonges  to  the  castle  and  yett  we 
fetch  in  gras  and  parsneppes  all  day  long  as  we  have  done  for 
the  most  parte  this  3  weekes.  The  enemy  bcgunne  a  fence  all 
along  the  hedge  side  from  theire  worke  against  Swillinton 
toyer  into  Denwell  lane  out  of  which  they  shoote  at  our  men 
which  come  to  gett  gras  continually,  but  of  late  there  is  but  few 
hurt  (praised  be  God).  Tliis  night  we  sent  out  5  men,  somme  to 
Sandoll,  and  others  to  the  Kinges  armye  which  should  come  to 
releeve  us,  or  ellse  to  goe  to  Newarke  to  bringe  us  some  intelli- 
gence. 

10.  This  day  there  hath  beene  hard  shooting,  the  enemy 
having  runne  so  many  trenches  so  neare  the  castle,  where  they 
lye  lurking  to  shoote  at  our  men  to  prevent  them  from  getting 
of  gras,  which  they  cannot  doe,  for  they  get  grass  still  as  much 
as  will  suffice,  thoug  it  be  at  deare  rates.  We  had  a  man  shott 
by  the  enemy  in  an  apple-tre,  as  he  was  getting  of  apples ;  he 
was  shott  thorow  the  arme,  but  no  mortall  wound.  We  allso 
kild  one  of  the  enemyes  from  of  the  Lower  castle  gatehowse 
toppe  along  theire  trenches  below.  And  about  6  a  clock,  at  the 
releeving  of  our  gaurdes,  one  of  our  first  sentry  men  which  went 
up  to  the  toppe  of  the  Round  tower  and  stood  upon  a  stone  and

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  75 

we  conceive  they  was  the  one  of  those  two.  This  day  the  enemy 
held  a  counsell  of  warre  to  what  effeckt  we  know  not,  but  we 
suppose  it  was  whether  to  give  the  King  battell  heare  or  not. 

There  was  little  shooting  by  us  this  day,  (it  beeing  fast  day,) 
nor  by  the  enemy,  neither  doe  we  heare  of  any  man  hurt  of 
either  side.  This  evninge  there  was  2  boanefires  made  upon 
Sandoll  Castle,  which  we  answered  with  one  from  the  Roimd 
tower.  This  day  the  2  men  which  we  sent  out  10  daies  since  to 
Newarke  came  againe  to  towne,  and  though  they  could  not  gett 
into  the  castle  to  us  yett  they  showed  forth  such  signes  as  we 
knew  we  had  good  newes  towardes  us.  This  night  2  of  those 
men  Ve  sent  out  2  nightes  before  to  Sandoll  came  in  againe. 

12.  This  morning  the  enemy  made  little  appearance  in  sight 
with  theire  horse  but  such  as  was  within  the  closes  round  about 
the  towne :  the  rest  was  at  theire  quarters  except  such  as  was 
sent  out  to  Sandoll.  This  day  the  letters  which  came  in  from 
Sandoll  the  last  night  were  perused  and  in  them  was  noticd 
that  we  are  to  expeckt  helpe  very  shortly.  The  other  letters 
allso  which  came  into  towne  yesterday  was  sent  in  this  day,  but 
the  key  to  open  those  Newarke  letters  was  not  att  first  found, 
but  is  now  round  with  good  newes,  and  both  the  day  and  time 
of  the  day  sett  down  when  Sir  Marmaduke  Langdall  intendes 
to  be  with  us,  (if  God  permitt)  and  succors  appoynted  to  meet 
him  heare.  The  Lord  come  along  with  him  and  give  him  vic- 
tory over  his,  and  all  our  enemies.  There  was  cdlso  newes  in 
them  of  the  great  victory  which  Gen.  Goring  had  against  Sir 
Tho.  Fairfax,  that  he  had  quite  routed  his  forces,  and  that  Sr. 
Thomas  was  not  to  be  found.  There  was  little  shooting  this 
day  betwixt  the  enemy  and  us  neither  doe  we  heare  of  any  one 
that  was  hurt.  This  day  likewise  the  enemy  begunne  to  fort3rfie 
Ferry  bridge,  and  made  a  mount.  We  suppose  they  intend  to 
plant  theire  cannon  there  against  the  day  of  batteU.  This 
night  the  enemy  had  an  allarum  in  the  towne,  sounded  theire 
trumpitts,  lighted  theire  matches  and  calld  To  horse,  horse, 
where  they  stood  upon  theire  guardes  all  night.  This  night 
allso  there  was  a  boane  fire  made  upon  Sandoll  Castle,  which  we 
answered  with  another  from  the  Round  tower. 

13.  This  morning,  being  Sunday,  about  4  a  clock,  the  enemy 
stood  in  great  bodyes  on  horseback  in  the  West,  feild  as  many 
as  ever  formerly  they  had  done.  The  enemy  hath  now  sett  up 
theire  tentes  and  intrenched  themsellves  in  the  West  feild,  and 
there  the  Generall  lyeth  every  night,  and  they  draw  of  many  of 
theire  foote  out  of  all  theire  workes  every  night  into  the  West 
feild.  There  came  this  day  about  60  foot  from  Ferry  bridge. 
Some  said  they  was  new  arayd  men  brought  to  the  garison*

skin,  but  did  no  more  hurt.  The  Dutchman  was  allso  shott 
through  the  stoekinge  of  his  legge  in  the  Barbican,  but  toucht 
not  the  flesh,  and  after  that  he  came  up  to  his  gunne  and  there 
standing  by  his  gimne  was  hitt  againe  by  a  splinter  of  wodd 
which  a  bullitt  rive  out ;  it  hitt  his  legge,  but  did  scarce  strike 
of  the  skinne,  only  brused  it  a  little,  but  in  requitall  there  was 
about  4  troopes  of  horse  went  downe  from  the  towne  through 
the  Parke  to  Newhall  and  soe  faced  about  and  came  back 
againe  and  he  seeing  them  made  ready  his  gunne  against  they 
came  backe,  and  gave  them  a  shott  into  the  Parke  where  we 
saw  both  one  man  and  a  horse  to  fall.  Sonte  say  there  was  4 
horse  and  men  fell  but  that  we  know  not  certeyn  but  these  lay 
there.  They  rid  3  or  4  a  brest.  This  aftemoone  the  enemy  sent 
in  a  drumme  with  a  noate  in  his  hand  which  he  red  by  the  way 
to  their  owne  souldyers  at  theire  workes  neare  to  Barbican 
gates,  and  he  bid  the  souldyers  be  of  good  cheare  for  that  they 
had  ayd  coming  to  them  both  Fairfax,  Cromwell,  and  Bosseter, 
and  that  they  had  rooted  both  Genrall  Goring  and  Sr.  Marma- 
duke  Langdall ;  and  this  noate  he  after  brought  into  the  castle. 
And  presently  after  that,  Genrall  Poyntes  sent  a  trumpiter  into 
the  castle  with  a  letter  from  himsellfe  and  the  Conmiitty  at 
Yorke.  The  letter  was  wordes  to  this  eflFeckt : — That  whereas 
they  had  heretofore  sent  to  sommone  the  castle  which  was  still 
rejtected,  but  now  taking  into  considration  the  great  care  and 
love  to  so  many  gentlemen  and  souldyers  which  weare  within 
the  castle,  and  the  misery e  we  lived  in,  and  the  effiision  of  so 
much  innocent  blood,  which  was  likely  to  be  made,  and  many  a 
sackles  *  man  in  it,  they  thought  good  once  more  to  sommone 
us  and  to  give  us  to  understand  that  if  we  pleased  to  cbme  to  a 
treatye  abou[t]  the  surrendringe  of  the  same,  they  would  treate 
with  us  upon  honorable  tearmes,  and  with  conditions  fitting  for 
such  a  garison,  and  give  hostages  for  the  same.  Whereupon 
answer  was  given  by  the  Governor,  that  it  was  a  matter  of  too 
great  a  consequence  to  treate  or  give  answer  at  the  first,  but 
he  would  conferre  with  the  knights  and  gentlemen  of  the  castle 
and  retume  answer  as  speedely  as  he  could  (or  wordes  to  that 
efieckt),  whereupon  the  trumpitt  was  sent  away. 

16.  This  morninge  we  had  a  man  was  getting  of  apples  and 
was  shoj^t  through  the  skull  of  his  brow  all  along  the  brow,  and 
he  fell  downe,  and  in  the  aftemoone  did  both  speake  and  eate 
meate,  so  that  it  is  thought  it  is  not  impossible  but  that  he  may 
live.  After  that  we  killd  one  of  the  enemyes  souldyers  from  the 
Hound  tower  on  Mr.  Busbyes  backside.     This  aftemoone  was

OF  PONTEFRACrr  CASTLE.  79 

miseiyes  which  at  that  tune  we  was  affrighted  withall,  and  to. 
adde  a  remedy  to  this  the  Governor  sent  into  all  the  gentlemen's 
chambers  within  the  castle  to  see  what  provition  they  could 
find,  allowing  to  themselves  no  more  than  a  common  souldyer, 
that  wee  might  all  live  or  want  together,  which  beeing  done, 
there  was  provition  found  to  keepe  us  all  at  a  reasonable  rate  of 
dyate  about  [never  filled  up]  daies.  After  which  time,  about  6  a 
clock,  when  praiers  was  ended,  the  Governor  (himsellfe  being 
not  able  to  come  forth  of  his  chamber)  desired  Sir  Richard 
Hutton  and  Sr.  George  Wintworth  in  the  Castle  yeard  to  reede 
(before  the  gentlemen  and  the  souldyers)  both  the  letter  sent 
from  theire  Governor  out  of  towne,  and  allso  the  letter  from 
Newarke,  and  withall  tould  the  souldyers  that  the  gentlen^n 
were  all  content  with  that  dyate,  and  was  willing  to  sacrifise 
their  lives  rather  than  yeild  to  such  conditions,  and  if  the  worst 
came  to  it  (if  releefe  came  not  in  the  meanewhile)  to  bume 
all  the  goodes  with  the  castle  and  to  make  out  our  waies  through 
the  enemy  by  the  swoard.  At  which  wordes  the  souldyers  all 
with  one  consent  said  they  was  ready  to  runne  the  same  hazard 
that  the  gentlemen  did,  and  was  content  with  the  like  dyate^ 
and  withal  threw  up  theire  hattes  and  made  3  great  and  lowd 
shoutes  within  the  Castle  yeard  and  then  the  Governor  sent  out 
2  flagges  of  defiance,  the  one  to  be  sett  upon  the  Kinges  tower 
and  the  other  upon  the  Round  tower  which  was  instantly  done 
and  displayed,  and  the  flaggo  left  standing  upon  the  Round 
tower :  afnd]  presently  gave  commaund  for  our  cannon  to  play. 
The  Dutcnman  begunne  first,  and  playd  his  cannon  into  the 
Markit  place,  where  there  was  many  standing  together,  and  the 
bullitt  grased  full  amongst  them,  but  what  execution  it  did  is 
not  knowne  to  us.  After  that  the  cannon  was  plaid  from  the 
Kinges  tower  into  the  Newhall,  but  what  execution  was  done  is 
not  knowne.  During  this  time  the  iron  gunne  was  carryed  out 
bom  within  the  castle  to  the  platforme  without  the  Upper  castle 
gate,  and  Will:  Ingram  played  one  cannon  into  theire  first 
sentry  howse  nearest  to  the  Upper  castle  gate  where  it  beate 
downe  the  wall,  shot  one  man  of  by  the  midle,  which  we  saw  ; 
one  or  2  more  we  saw  them  carye  away,  and  we  conceive  there 
was  many  more  killd  with  the  stones  was  burst  out  of  the  wall 
(beinge  many  in  the  howse).  And  then  he  playd  againe  another 
shott  into  the  enemyes  workes  (just  against  Barbican  gates) 
where  we  saw  lighted  matches  struck  downe,  but  what  hurt 
was  done  was  not  knowne  to  us.  After  this  our  muskittes  shott 
from  the  walles  wheresoever  they  could  see  any  opportunitie. 
The  enemy  seeing  and  hearing  all  this,  sent  downe  a  drumme 
with  victuales  for  the  prisoners  to  the  castle  which  we  refused

again  the  next  day  at  the  same  place,  and  they  would  then 
make  an  end  of  theire  treaty  if  possible  they  could,  which  our 
Committies  did  condescend  unto.     [MS.  ends.]

OF  PONTEFRACT  CASTfE.  85 

Upon  the  least  jealousy  or  humour,  these  men  were  frequently  sent 
for,  reproached,  and  sometimes  imprisoned  by  the  Governor  in  this 
garrison ;  which  did  not  render  them  the  more  devoted  to  him. 
When  there  appeared  some  hopes  that  the  Scots  would  raise  an 
army  for  the  relief  and  release  of  the  King,  Sir  Marmaduke  Lang- 
dale,  in  his  way  for  Scotland,  had  visited  and  conferred  With  some  of 
his  old  friends  and  countrymen,  who  now  lived  quietly  within  some 
distance  of  Pontfret,  who  informed  him  of  that  garrison,  the  place 
whereof  was  well  known  to  him.  And  he  acquainting  them  with  the 
assurance  he  had  of  the  resolution  of  the  principal  persons  of  the 
kingdom  of  Scotland,  and  that  they  had  invited  him  to  join  with 
them,  in  order  to  which  he  was  then  going  thither,  they  agreed, 
'  that,  when  it  should  appear  that  an  army  was  raised  in  Scotland 
upon  that  account,  which  must  draw  down  the  Parliament's  army 
into  the  other'northem  counties,  and  that  there  should  be  risings  in 
other  parts  of  the  kingdom  *  (which  the  general  indisposition  and  dis- 
content, besides  some  particular  designs,  made  like  to  fall  out),  '  that 
then  those  gentlemen  should  endeavour  the  surprise  of  that  castle, 
and  after  they  had  made  themselves  strong  in  it,  and  furnished  it 
with  provisions  to  endure  some  restraint,  they  should  draw  as  good 
a  body  to  them  as  those  countries  would  yield :'  and  having  thus 
adjusted  that  design,  they  settled  such  a  way  of  correspondence  with 
Sir  Marmaduke,  that  they  frequently  gave  him  an  account,  and  re- 
ceived his  directions  for  their  proceeding.  In  this  disposition  they 
continued  quiet,  as  they  had  always  been ;  and  the  Governour  of  the 
castle  lived  towards  them  with  less  jealousy,  and  more  humanity, 
than  he  had  been  accustomed  to."     (Clarendon.) 

"  Langdale  pretends  to  be  General  (by  commission  from  Prince 
Charles)  of  the  five  Northern  Counties,  where  he  is  now  arming,  and 
giving  commissions.*'     (Rushworth,  under  May  8.) 

"  The  design  was  laid  by  Col.  Morice,  (who  in  his  youth  had  been 
page  to  the  Earl  of  Straftbrd,)  my  two  brothers,  who  were  captains 
of  horse,  and  myself,  captain  of  foot,  and  some  others.  We  had  then 
about  300  foot,  and  50  horse,  of  our  old  comrades,  privately  listed." 
(Paulden.) 

"  This  John  Morris,  being  bred  up  under  the  Eight.  Hon.  Thomas 
late  Earl  of  Strafford  *,  was  first  an  ensign  to  his  guards  after  the 

*  "  I  add  from  the  notices  of  a  contemporary  that  he  was  horn  at  South  Eknsal, 
where  the  family  had  a  small  estate  ;  that  at  16  years  of  age  he  was  made  ensign  to 
his  own  company  of  foot  by  the  Earl  of  Strafford,  and  soon  after  lieutenant  of  his 
guard.  The  Earl  observing  his  genius  for  military  affairs,  said  of  him,  '  that  youth 
will  outdo  many  of  our  old  commanders/  After  the  Earl's  death,  Morris  was  made 
captain  in  Sir  Henry  Tichbum's  regiment.  He  served  in  Ireland,  and  there  per- 
formed some  important  services.  At  Dublin  he  was  made  senior  captain  in  the  regi- 
ment commanded  by  Sir  Francis  Willoughby,  and  major  by  commission  from  the 
Earl  of  Orraond  dated  June  2,  1642.  In  England  he  served  in  that  department  of 
the  royal  army  which  was  under  the  command  of  Lord  Byron ;  and  when  the  war 
was  over  he  retired  to  his  own  estate  at  Elmsal,  carefully  watching  for  opportimities 
of  serving  the  royal  cause.*'     (2  Hunter's  South  Yorksh&e,  98.)

OF   PONTEFRACr   CASTLE.  87 

in  one  bed.  He  declared  to  one  of  those  gentlemen,  who  were  united 
together  to  make  that  attempt,  *  that  he  would  surprise  that  castle, 
whenever  they  should  think  the  season  ripe  for  it ;'  and  that  gentle- 
man, who  knew  him  very  well,  believed  him  so  entirely,  that  he  told 
his  companions,  *  that  they  should  not  trouble  themselves  with  con- 
triving the  means  to  surprise  the  place ;  which,  by  trusting  too  many, 
would  be  liable  to  discovery;  but  that  he  would  take  that  charge 
upon  himself,  by  a  way  they  need  not  enquire  into ;  which  he  assured 
them  should  not  fail :'  and  they  all  very  willingly  acquiesced  in  his 
undertaking ;  to  which  they  knew  well  he  was  not  inclined  without 
good  grounds.  Morrice  was  more  frequently  with  the  governor,  who 
never  thought  himself  well  without  him ;  and  always  told  him  *  he 
must  have  a  great  care  of  his  garrison,  that  he  had  none  but  faithful 
men  in  the  castle ;  for  that  he  was  confident  there  were  some  men 
who  lived  not  far  off,  and  who  many  times  came  to  visit  him,  had 
some  design  upon  the  place;*  and  would  then  in  confidence  name 
many  persons  to  him,  some  whereof  were  those  very  men  with  whom 
he  communicated,  and  others  were  men  of  another  temper,  and  were 
most  devoted  to  the  Parliament,  all  his  particular  friends  and  compa- 
nions; 'but  that  he  should  not  be  troubled;  for  he  had  a  false 
brother  amongst  them,  from  whom  he  was  sure  to  have  seasonable 
advertisement ;'  and  promised  him,  *  that  he  would,  within  few  hours' 
notice,  bring  him  at  any  time  forty  or  fifby  good  men  into  the  castle 
to  reinforce  his  garrison,  when  there  should  be  occasion;'  and  he 
would  shew  him  the  list  of  such  men,  as  would  be  always  ready,  and 
would  sometimes  bring  some  of  those  men  with  him,  and  tell  the 
Governor  before  them,  *  that  those  were  in  the  list  he  had  given  him 
of  the  honest  fellows,  who  would  stick  to  him  when  there  should  be 
need ;'  and  others  would  accidentally  tell  the  Governor,  *  that  they 
had  listed  themselves  with  Colonel  Morrice  to  come  to  the  castle, 
whenever  he  should  call  or  send  to  them.'  And  all  these  men  thus 
listed,  were  fellows  very  notorious  for  the  bitterness  and  malice 
which  they  had  always  against  the  King,  not  one  of  which  he  ever 
intended  to  make  use  of. 

"  He  made  himself  very  familiar  with  all  the  soldiers  in  the  castle, 
and  used  to  play  and  drink  with  them ;  and  when  he  lay  there,  would 
often  rise  in  the  night,  and  visit  the  guards;  and  by  that  means 
would  sometimes  make  the  Governor  dismiss,  and  discharge  a  soldier 
whom  he  did  not  like,  under  pretence  *  that  he  found  him  always 
asleep,'  or  some  other  fault  which  was  not  to  be  examined ;  and  then 
he  would  commend  some  other  to  him  as  very  fit  to  be  trusted  and 
relied  upon ;  and  by  this  means  he  had  very  much  power  in  the 
garrison.  The  Governor  received  several  letters  from  his  friends  in 
the  Parliament,  and  in  the  countrv,  *  that  he  should  take  care  of 
Colonel  Morrice,  who  resolved  to  Tbetray  him ;'  and  informed  him, 
*that  he  had  been  in  such  and  such  tiompany  of  men,  who  were 
generally  esteemed  most  malignant,  and  had  great  intrigues  with 
them ;'  all  which  was  well  known  to  the  Governor ;  for  the  other

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASl'LE.  89 

another  sentinel  was  placed,  where  we  intended  to  set  our  ladder, 
who  fipecj  upon  us,  and  gave  the  alarm  to  the  garrison  ♦.  They 
appearing  upon  the  walls,  our  men  retired  in  haste,  leaving  the  ladder 
in  the  ditch,  whereby  the  next  day  they  within  knew,  that  it  was  no 
false  alarm,  but  that  there  had  been  a  real  attempt  to  surprise  the 
castle.  They  took  not  a  man  of  us ;  our  foot  dispersed  themselves  in 
the  country ;  and  half  of  our  horse  marched  to  Sir  Marmaduke  Lang- 
dale,  who  had  then  taken  Berwick  and  Carlisle.  The  rest,  being  20 
or  30  horse,  kept  in  the  woods,  while  we  sent  spies  into  the  castle, 
and  found  that  our  confederates  within  were  not  discovered,  nor 
our  designs  betrayed,  but  only  failed  by  the  corporal's  being 
drunk. 

"  The  ladder  being  found  the  next  morning  made  the  Governor  call 
the  soldiers  out  of  the  town,  to  lodge  in  the  castle :  in  order  to  which 
he  sent  his  warrants  into  the  country,  for  beds  to  be  brought  in  by  a 
day  appointed. 

June  3.  "  We  had  notice  of  it,  and  made  use  of  the  occasion. 
With  the  beds  came  Colonel  Mcrice,  and  Captain  William  Paulden, 
like  country  gentlemen,  with  swords  by  their  sides;  and  about  9 
persons  more,  dressed  like  plain  countrymen  and  constables,  to 
guard  the  beds,  but  armed  privately  with  pocket  pistols  and  dag- 
gers f.      *  ' 

"Upon  their  approach,  the  Drawbridge  was  let  down,  and  the 
G^tes  opened  by  our  confederates  within.  Colonel  Morice  and  those 
who  were  with  him  entered  into  the  castle.  The  main-guard  was 
just  within  the  Gate,  where  our  company  threw  down  the  beds  and 
gave  a  crown  to  some  soldiers,  bidding  them  fetch  ale,  to  make  the 
rest  of  the  guard  drink ;  and  as  soon  as  they  were  gone  out  of  the 
Gbte,  they  threw  up  the  Drawbridge,  and  secured  the  rest  of  the 
guards,  forcing  them  into  a  Dungeon  hard  by  to  which  they  went 
down  by  about  thirty  stairs ;  and  it  was  a  place  that  would  hold  two 
or  three  hundred  men. 

*  **  The  time  agreed  upon  was  such  a  night,  when  the  surprisen  were  to  be  ready 
upon  such  a  part  of  the  wall,  and  to  have  ladders  to  mount  in  two  places,  where  two 
soldiers  were  to  be  appointed  for  sentinels  who  were  privy  to  the  attempt.  Morrice 
was  in  the  castle,  and  in  bed  with  the  Governor,  and,  according  to  his  custom,  rose 
about  the  hour  he  thought  all  would  be  ready.  They  without  made  the  sign  agreed 
upon,  and  were  answered  by  one  of  the  sentinels  from  the  wall ;  upon  which  they  run 
to  both  places  where  they  were  to  mount  their  ladders.  By  some  accident,  the  other 
sentinel  who  was  designeid,  was  not  upon  the  other  part  of  the  wall ;  but  when  the 
ladder  was  mounted  there,  the  sentinel  called  out ;  and,  finding  that  there  were  men 
under  the  wall,  run  towards  the  court  of  guard  to  call  for  help  ;  which  gave  an  alarm 
to, the  garrison."     (Clarendon.) 

t  "  After  that,  he  [Morris]  surprised  the  strong  castle  of  Pontfract,  for  King 
Charles  I.,  with  the  help  of  8  men  besides  himself,  upon  the  3d  of  June,  aP.  1648." 
(Dugdale's  Visitation.) 

**  Morris  and  some  of  the  same  gentlemen  surprised  the  castle  under  the  disguise  of 
countrymen  coming  in  with  carts  of  provbion."     (Clarendon.) 

"  About  20  of  the  King's  party  came  with  com,  and  frocks  over  their  clothes,  pre- 
tending to  supply  Pontefract  Castle,  &c"     (Whitelocke,  Rushworth.)

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  91 

made  him  refer  all  things  still  to  the  counsel,  and  conduct  of  those 
officers  who  were  under  him ;  by  whose  activity,  as  much  was  -done 
as  could  be  expected  from  such  a  knot  of  resolute  persons."    (Ibid.) 

*'  We  found  in  the  castle  a  good  quantity  of  salt  and  malt,  with 
4000  arms,  and  good  store  of  ammunition,  some  cannon,  and  two 
mortar- pieces.  We  expected  a  siege  very  suddenly,  and  got  what 
provisions  of  com  and  cattle  we  could  out  of  the  country. 

"  Particularly  in  one  sally,  having  notice  that  there  were  at  Knot- 
tingley,  three  miles  from  the  castle,  300  head  of  cattle,  bought  up  in 
the  north,  going  into  the  south,  under  a  guard  of  two  troops  of  horse, 
we  marched  out  at  night  with  30  horse,  and  half  a  dozen  foot,  with 
half  pikes  to  drive  the  cattle.  We  faced  the  troops  that  guarded 
them,  while  our  foot  drove  the  herd  towards  the  castle ;  then  we  fol- 
lowed, and  kept  between  them  and  danger,  the  enemy  not  daring  to 
charge  us,  and  so  we  came  all  safe  with  our  purchase  into  the  castle. 
This,  and  other  provisions  we  got  in  by  several  parties  almost  every 
night,  enabled  us  to  keep  the  castle  above  nine  months,  though  we 
had  not  one  month's  provision  when  we  were  first  beleaguered." 
(Paulden.) 

Letters  from  the  north.  "  The  enemy  have  had  their  agents  work- 
ing with  some  or  other  of  every  castle  in  the  north. — Langdale  is  in 
Westmorland — 'tis  thought  he  will  wheel  about  for  Pontefract  if  he 
can,  and  miss  fighting.  Pontefract  is  blocked  up  with  about  800 
horse  and  foot,  which  is  all  can  possibly  be  made  for  the  present ;  the 
enemy  there  increases,  and  are,  as  we  hear,  250  horse,  and  400  foot, 
so  that  that  party  cannot  lay  close  siege."  (Bush worth,  under 
June  12.) 

28.  "  A  party  of  the  enemy  from  Pontefract  had  possessed  them-r 
selves  of  Axholme  island  near  Trent."     (Rushworth.) 

30.  "  The  enemy  at  Pontefract  Castle  still  go  on  at  pleasure, 
taking  and  plundering  whom  they  please,  and  yet  please  to  deal  so 
with  none  but  those  who  have  been  most  active  for  the  Parliament. 
Having  quitted  the  Isle  of  Axholme,  they  came  towards  Lincoln,  and 
yesterday  entered  the  city,  plundered  tte  house  of  Capt.  Pert,  who 
18  now  in  arms  in  Northumberland  for  the  Parliament,  and  may  do 
as  much  for  them  and  many  others,  to  the  great  damage  if  not  ruin 
of  them.  They  have  prisoners  Capt.  Bees  ♦,  Capt.  Fines,  and  others ; 
Col.  Bossiter  was  at  a  distance.  They  went  further  on,  and  took  pri* 
Boner  Mr.  Ellis ;  they  brag  they  have  3000  listed  in  Lincolnshire ; 
but  there  are  divers  thousands  in  Leicester,  Derby,  Butland,  and 
Lincolnshire,  who  are  ready  to  join  against  these.  They  killed  one 
Mr.  Smith  in  Lincoln,  belonging  to  the  Sequestration."  (Bush- 
worth.) 

July  5.  "  Colonel  Bossiter  met  with  the  Pontefract  forces  upon 
their  return  after  their  plundering  voyage,  and  engaged  them  at  a

OF  PONTEFRACT  CA5TLE.  93 

20.  The  Scots  ''-are  so  tired  and  in  such  confusion,  that  if  mj 
hone  could  but  trot  after  them  I  could  take  them  all.  But  we  are 
80  weary,  we  can  scarce  be  able  to  do  more  than  walk  after  them. 
I  beseech  you  therefore,  let  Sir  Henry  Cholmely,  Sir  Edward 
Ebodes,  Colonel  Hatcher,  and  Colonel  White,  and  all  the  countries 
about  you,  be  sent  to,  to  rise  with  you  and  follow  them."  (Cromwell 
to  the  Committee  at  York.     Carlyle.) 

23.  "I  have  intelligence  even  now  come  to  my  hands,  that 
Duke  Hamilton  with  a  wearied  body  of  horse  is  drawing  towards 
Pontefract,  where  probably  he  may  lodge  himself  and  rest  his  horse  ; 
as  not  daring  to  continue  in  those  countries  whence  we  have  driven 
him,  the  country-people  rising  in  such  numbers,  and  stopping  his 
passage  at  every  bridge.  Major-General  Lambert,  with  a  very  con- 
siderable force,  pursues  him  at  the  heels. — I  am  marching  north- 
ward."    (Same  to  same.     Ibid.) 

"  Cromwell's  marching  towards  the  Scots  with  the  neglect  of  these 
men  [in  Pontefract]  after  their  appearance,  and  only  appointing 
some  county  troops  to  enclose  them  from  increasing  their  strength, 
gave  them  great  opportunity  to  grow ;  so  that,  driving  those  troops 
to  a  greater  distance,  they  drew  contribution  from  all  the  parts  about 
them,  and  made  incursions  much  farther,  (and  took  divers  substantial 
men  prisoners,  and  carried  them  to  the  castle,  where  they  remained 
till  they  redeemed  themselves  by  great  ransoms,)  and  rendered  them- 
selves so  terrible,  that,  after  the  Scottish  defeat,  those  of  Yorkshire 
sent  very  earnestly  to  Cromwell  *  that  he  would  make  it  the  business 
of  his  army  to  reduce  Pontfret.'  But  he,  resolving  upon  his  Scottish 
expedition  (but  believing  that  he  should  be  in  a  short  time  capable 
to  take  vengeance  upon  those  affronts),  thought  it  enough  to  send 
Rainsborough  to  perform  that  service,  with  a  regiment  of  horse,  and 
one  or  two  of  foot,  belonging  to  the  army,  (to  restrain  their  adven- 
tures, and  to  keep  them  blocked  up ;)  which  with  a  conjunction  of 
the  county  forces  under  the  same  command,  be  doubted  not  would 
be  sufficient  to  perform  a  greater  work."     (Clarendon.) 

Sept.  4.  "  Post  letters  this  day  certify  that  Sir  Hugh  Carteret  and 
Sir  John  Digby  are  gone  to  Nottingham,  upon  their  parol,  to  advise 
with  Sir  Marmaduke  Langdale,  prisoner  there,  upon  the  surrender  of 
Pontefract  Castle."     (Eush worth.) 

9.  York.  "  At  Pontefract  the  men  run  very  fast  away  from  the 
castle."     (Ibid.) 

13.  "  Letters  were  read  from  the  Committee  of  York,  that  the 
treaty  about  Pontefract  not  taking  effect,  they  must  storm.  20,000/. 
was  desired  for  supply  of  the  soldiers.  The  Commons  ordered  that 
12,000/.  should  be  advanced  for  them."     (Ibid.) 

14.  Brandspeth.  ''The  Lieut.- General,  with  all  the  horse  and 
foot,  are  marching  up  to  the  Borders,  he  having  sent  for  Colonel 
White's  and  Col.  Hacker's,  [regiments,]  lying  about  Pontefract,  to 
march  up  to  him  with  all  speed."     (Ibid.) 

Oct.  2.   Letters  received  from  Cockermouth.    ''It  hath  been  a

came  from  London  taken  at  least  200  head  of  cattle,  above  100  oxen 
from  grasiers.  They  sound  a  parley  for  a  cessation,  and  make  a  fair 
of  their  horses  near  the  castle,  sell  them  to  Sir  Henry  Cholmtey's 
troopers,  and  in  the  cessation  they  drink  to  one  another,  *  Here  is  to 
thee,  brother  Roundhead,^  and,  *  1  thank  thee,  Brother  Cavalier,* 
They  have  and  do  take  much  salt,  corn,  beasts,  and  horses  from  the 
country :  they  prepare  for  a  better  siege ;  for  this  day  Lieut.- General 
Cromwel  is  expected  to  come  with  forces  to  block  them  up.  The 
reason  they  go  thus  where  they  list  is,  first,  all  the  forces  that  are 
against  Pontefract,  are  under  the  command  of  Sir  Henry  Cholmley ; 
and  Col.  Eainsborough  being  come  to  Doncaster,  having  a  com- 
mission to  command  in  chief  from  the  Lord  Fairfax,  Sir  Henry 
Cholmley,  having  commission  from  the  Northern  Committee,  takes 
it  a  disparagement,  and  refuseth  to  let  him  have  the  command ;  so 
that  Col.  Eainsborough  is  come  no  nearer  than  Doncaster,  and  the 
poor  country  suffereth.  Here  is  news,  that  when  Lieut.-Gen.  Crom- 
wel cometh  up  with  his  forces,  all  the  northern  new  militia  shall  be 
disbanded.  Pontefract  men  have  lately  fetched  off  Mr.  Clayton, 
steward  to  his  Excellency  the  Lord  Fairfax,  ten  miles  of  Leeds,  at 
his  manor  at  Denton,  near  Otley.  There  is  no  difference  amongst 
the  Pontefract  blades  as  is  printed,  they  agree  too  well.*'  (Rush- 
worth.) 

"  Some  time  after,  we  heard  Duke  Hamilton  was  beaten  at  Preston 
in  Lancashire,  and  Sir  Marmaduke  Langdale  taken  prisooer,  and 
brought  to  Nottingham  Castle  ♦.  He  was  General  of  the  English  at 
Preston,  who  behaved  themselves  bravely,  and,  in  truth,  did  all  that 
was  done  there.  He  had  also,  as  I  said,  been  our  General ;  we  had 
his  commission  for  taking  the  castle,  as  he  had  the  Prince  of  Wales's, 
and  we  were  resolved  to  run  any  hazard  to  release  him.  For  it  was 
commonly  given  out,  that  they  intended  to  bring  him  before  Pomfret 
Castle  and  to  execute  him  in  our  sight,  if  we  would  not  immediately 
surrender  t. 

"  It  being  like  to  prove  a  tedious  siege.  General  Eainsborough  was 
sent  from  London  by  the  Parliament,  to  put  a  speedy  end  to  it.  He 
was  esteemed  a  person  of  great  courage  and  conduct,  exceeding  zeal- 
ous and  fierde  in  their  cause,  and  had  done  them  great  service  by 
land,  and  alao  at  sea,  where  he  was  for  a  time  one  of  their  admirals  J. 

*  Where  he  remained,  "  under  a  most  strict  custody,  as  a  man  the  Parliament 
declared  they  would  make  an  example  of  their  justice."     (Clarendon.) 

t  "The  Commons  voted,  on  Nov.  6  following,  that  he  should  be  exempted  from 
mercy."     (Rujshworth.) 

X  "  There  was  not  an  officer  in  the  army  whom  Cromwell  would  not  as  willingly

OF    PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  97 

ties :  6  were  to  attack  the  main-guard,  G  the  guard  upon  the  Bridge  ; 
4  were  ordered  to  General  KaniBborough's  quarters ;  and  the  Captain, 
with  the  remaining  (5,  after  he  had  seen  the  four  enter  the  General's 
lodgings,  were  to  beat  the  streets,  and  keep  the  enemy  from  assem- 
bling. 

•*  We  presently  forcing  the  first  barricades,  and  the  guards  there 
dispersing  into  the  country  ♦,  all  the  rest  succeeded  as  we  wished. 
The  main-guard  was  surprised,  we  entering  the  Guard-chamber,  and 
getting  between  them  and  their  arms,  bid  them  shift  for  their  lives ; 
the  same  was  done  to  the  guard  upon  the  Bridge,  their  arms  being 
thrown  into  the  river  f. 

"The  four  that  went  to  General  Eainsborough's  lodgings  pre- 
tended to  bring  letters  to  him  from  Cromwell,  who  had  then  beaten 
the  Scots.  They  met  at  the  door  the  GeneraPs  lieutenant,  who  con- 
ducted them  up  to  his  chamber,  and  told  him,  being  in  bed,  that  there 
were  some  gentlemen  had  brought  him  letters  from  General  Crom- 
well X'  Upon  which  they  delivered  Eainsborough  a  packet,  wherein 
was  nothing  but  blank  paper.  Whilst  he  was  opening  it,  they  told 
him  he  was  their  prisoner,  but  that  not  a  hair  of  his  head  should  be 
touched,  if  he  would  go  quietly  with  them.  Then  they  disarmed  his 
Lieutenant,  who  had  innocently  conducted  them  to  his  chamber,  and 
brought  them  both  down  stairs.  They  had  brought  a  horse  ready 
for  General  Eainsborough,  upon  which  they  bid  him  mount :  he 
seemed  at  first  willing  to  do  it,  and  put  his  foot  in  the  stirrup ;  but 
looking  about  him,  and  seeing  none  but  four  of  his  enemies,  and  his 
lieutenant  and  sentinel  (whom  they  had  not  disarmed)  standing  by 
him,  he  pulled  his  foot  out  of  the  stirrup,  and  cried  Anru,  Arms, 
Upon  this  one  of  our  men,  letting  his  pistol  and  sword  fall,  because 
be  would  not  kill  him,  catcht  hold  of  him,  and  they  grappling 
together,  both  fell  down  in  the  street.  Then  General  Eainsborough*8 
lieutenant  catching  our  man's  pistol  that  was  fallen,  Capt.  Paulden's 
lieutenant,  who  was  on  horseback,  dismounts  and  runs  him  through 

*  **  Letters  from  Doncaster,  that  40  horse  sallied  oat  of  Pomfret  towards  Don- 
caster,  where  they  killed  the  sentinel.  Then  three  of  them  rode  on  to  Doncaster,  and 
asked  for  Col.  Rainsborough's  quarters,  &c.''     (Whitelocke,  under  Nov.  I.) 

f  Clarendon  postpones  any  hostile  action  until  after  the  enconnter  with  Rains- 
borough  himself.  "  When  the  gate  of  the  inn  was  opened  to  them,  three  of  them 
only  entered  into  the  inn,  the  other  rode  to  the  other  end  of  the  town  to  the  Bridge, 
orer  which  they  were  to  pass  towards  Ponfret ;  where  they  expected  and  did  find  a 
guard  of  horse  and  foot,  with  whom  they  entertained  themselves  in  discourse,  saying 
*  that  they  stayed  for  their  officer,  who  went  only  in  to  speak  with  the  General ;'  and 
called  for  some  drink.  The  guards  making  no  question  of  their  being  friends,  sent 
for  drink,  and  talked  negligently  with  them  of  news;  and  it  being  broad  day,  some 
of  the  horse  alighted  and  the  foot  went  to  the  court  of  guard,  conceiving  that  morn- 
ing's work  to  be  over." 

X  **  And  there  called  to  him  and  said  they  had  a  letter  from  Lieut.-Gen.  Cromwell. 
The  Colonel  rose  and  opened  to  them,  for  he  expected  such  a  letter  as  they  pretended 
that  morning,  but  they  presently  got  him  down,  and  ran  him  into  the  neck,  and  to 
the  heart,  with  other  wounds,  and  left  him  dead,  and  escaped  without  any  hindrance 
given.''     (Rushworth.)

ing  what  they  were  to  do,  they  turned  upon  the  Guard,  and  made 
them  fly  in  distraction;  so  that  the  way  was  clear  and  free;  and 
though  they  missed  carrying  home  the  prize  for  which  they  had 
made  bo  lusty  an  adventure,  they  joined  together,  and  marched,  with 
the  expedition  that  was  necessary,  a  shorter  way  than  they  had  come, 
to  their  garrison ;  leaving  the  town,  and  soldiers  behind  in  such  a 
consternation,  that,  not  being  able  to  receive  any  information  from 
their  General,  whom  they  found  dead  upon  the  ground  without  any 
body  in  view,  they  thought  the  devil  had  been  there ;  and  could  not 
recollect  themselves,  which  way  they  were  to  pursue  an  enemy  they 
had  not  seen.  The  gallant  party  came  safe  home  without  the  least 
damage  to  horse  or  man,  hoping  to  make  some  other  attempt  more 
BQccessfully,  by  which  they  might  redeem  Sir  Marmaduke  Langdale.'* 
(Clarendon.) 

"  His  [Rainsborough's]  corpse  was  sending  up  to  London." 
(Bushworth.)  "  Buried  at  Wapping,  Nov.  14."  (Sir  Geo.  Whar- 
ton.) 

November  3.  "  The  Commons  took  notice  of  the  horrid  murder  of 
Col.  Rainsborow,  and  ordered  that  it  should  be  referred  to  Lieut.- 
General  Cromwell,  to  take  special  care  and  make  strict  examination 
concerning  the  said  massacre,  and  to  certify  it  with  all  speed  to  the 
House."     (lb.) 

4.  "  Letters  by  a  post  extraordinary,  who  came  to  London  [this] 
Saturday  night  from  Pontefract,  signify  the  great  discontents  of  the 
country  at  Sir  Henry  Cholmley's  ill  management  of  the  siege,  his 
horse  permitting  the  enemy  since  his  last  letter  to  the  House 
(wherein  he  said  he  had  cooped  them  up  in  the  last  hole)  to  fetch  in 
200  head  of  cattle  at  a  time,  and  all  other  sorts  of  provisions,  and  to 
go  out  by  parties,  doing  great  mischiefs,  and  more  particularly  the 
horrid  murder  of  Col.  Rainsborow,  and  to  return  back  again  at  noon- 
time of  the  day,  and  not  a  pistol  fired  at  them.  Some  of  his  own 
officers  are  bringing  up  articles  to  the  House  concerning  him. 
Lieut.-General  Cromwel  is  at  Biron  House,  near  Pontefract,  and 
there  continues  till  he  hath  so  settled  the  several  posts  as  that 
the  enemy  may  not,  as  they  have  done,  break  forth,  plunder  and 
undo  the  county ;  which  done,  he  goes  to  the  head-quarters,  as 
expected." 

8.  "  Head  Quarters.  St.  Alban's.  The  Lieut.-General  is  not  yet 
come,  but  shortly  expected.*  He  hath  much  to  do  in  the  North  about 
settling  the  sieges  at  Pontefract  and  Scarborough.  A  committee  do 
also  meet  with  the  Lieut.-General  by  way  of  inquisition  after  the 
death  of  Col.  Rainsborow,  whose  body  will  be  in  London  on  Tuesday 
next  to  be  honorably  interred." 

**  So  soon  as  I  came  into  these  parts,  I  met  with  an  earnest  desire 
from  the  Committee  of  this  county  to  take  upon  me  the  charge  here 
for  the  reducing  of  the  garrison  of  Pontefract.  I  received  also  com- 
mands from  my  Lord  General  to  the  same  effect.  I  have  l^ad  sight 
of  a  letter  to  the  House  of  Commons ;  wherein  things  are  so  repre-

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  101 

mine;  the  walls  very  thick  and  high,  with  strong  towers;  and,  if 
battered,  very  difficult  of  access,  by  reason  of  the  depth  and  steep- 
ness of  the  graft.  The  county  is  exceedingly  impoverished  ;  not  able 
to  bear  free-quarter ;  nor  well  able  to  furnish  provisions,  if  we  had 
moneys.  The  work  is  like  to  be  long,  if  materials  be  not  furnished 
answerable.  1  therefore  think  it  my  duty  to  represent  unto  you  as 
followeth:  viz. — 

"  That  moneys  be  provided  for  3  complete  regiments  of  foot,  and  2 
of  horse ; — that  money  be  provided  for  all  contingencies  which  are  in 
view,  too  many  to  enumerate.  That  500  barrels  of  powder,  6  good 
battering  guns,  with  300  shot  to  each  gun,  be  speedily  sent  down  to 
Hull : — we  desire  none  may  be  sent  less  than  demi-cannons.  We 
desire  also  some  match  and  bullet.  And  if  it  may  be,  we  should  be 
elad  that  2  or  3  of  the  biggest  mortar-pieces  with  shells  may  likewise 
be  sent. 

"  And  although  the  desires  of  such  proportions  may  seem  costly, 
yet  I  hope  you  will  judge  it  good  thrift ;  especially  if  you  consider 
that  this  place  hath  cost  the  kingdom  some  hundred-thousands  ot 
pounds  already.  And  for  aught  I  know,  it  may  cost  you  one  more, 
if  it  be  trifled  withal ;  besides  the  dishonour  of  it,  and  what  other 
danger  may  be  emergent,  by  its  being  in  such  hands.  It's  true,  here 
are  some  2  or  3  great  guns  in  Hull,  and  hereabouts ;  but  they  are 
unserviceable :  and  your  garrisons  in  Yorkshire  are  very  much  un- 
Bupplied  at  this  time. 

"  I  have  not  as  yet  drawn  any  of  our  foot  to  this  place ;  only  I 
make  use  of  Colonel  Fairfax's  and  Colonel  Malevrier's  foot  regi- 
ments ;  and  keep  the  rest  of  the  guards  with  the  horse ;  purposing 
to  bring  on  some  of  our  foot  tomorrow.  The  rest,  —  these  parts 
being  not  well  able  to  bear  them, — are  a  little  dispersed  in  Lincoln 
and  Nottingham  shires,  for  some  refreshment ;  which  after  so  much 
duty  they  need,  and  a  little  expect. 

"  And  indeed  I  would  not  satisfy  myself  nor  my  duty  to  you  and 
them,  to  put  the  poor  men,  at  this  season  of  the  year,  to  lie  in  the 
field:  before  we  be  furnished  with  shoes,  stockings  and  clothes,  for 
them  to  cover  their  nakedness,— which  we  hear  are  in  preparation, 
and  would  be  speeded: — and  until  we  have  deal-boards  to  make 
them  courts-of-guard,  and  tools  to  cast  up  works  to  seciire  them." 
(Carlyle.) 

15.  "Eeferred  to  the  Committee  of  the  Army,  to  consider  of 
the  several  particulars  mentioned  in  the  Lieut.- General's  letter,  and 
to  supply  them  with  all  convenient  speed." 

Order  for  "  250  barrels  of  powder,  with  match  and  bullet  propor- 
tionable, for  the  better  carrying  on  of  the  work  before  Pontefract  and 
Scarborough  *.'* 

18.  "  Ordered  that  the  officers  of  the  stores  of  the  Tower  should 

*  Col.  Boynton  had  declared  for  the  King.  He  sorrendered  the  castle  of  Scur- 
borongh  to  Col.  Bethel,  on  Dec.  19.

OF   PONTEFRACT  CASTLE.  103 

them."  (Lambert  to  Fairfax.  Kushworth,  who  prints  part  of  the 
BemoDstrance  which  accords  with  the  proceedings  of  the  army  in 
general.) 

20.  "  The  House  approved  of  what  the  Committees  of  Nottingham 
and  Derby  had  done  for  relief  of  the  forces  before  Scarborough  and 
Pontefract."     (Whitelocke.) 

30.  Pontefract.  "  Our  approaches  go  on  very  forward,  though  our 
wapt  of  pay  be  great.  The  enemy  seem  much  divided,  and  more  dis- 
contented, some  coming  out  daily  to  escape.  Our  guns  are  come  to 
us,  and  we  shall  begin  to  make  batteries  within  these  few  days.  It*s 
great  pity  the  militia  of  this  county  should  be  disbanded,  many  of 
them  being  very  honest."     (Rushworth.) 

1648-9.  January  6.  Pontefract.  "  The  guns  will  be  here  next 
week.  Our  men  are  raising  new  batteries.  I  hope  all  will  be  ready 
for  the  guns  when  they  come.*'     (Cornet  John  Baynes  *.) 

Same  date.  "  The  Major- General  is  not  returned  from  the  dis- 
banding Col.Ilodes  and  Col.  Cholmley's  regiments  of  horse,  the  work 
having  proved  very  difficult  and  troublesome ;  yet  by  this  time  the 
business  is  well  nigh  over.  There  is  no  visible  disquiet  in  these  parts 
nor  any  thing  tending  thereto;  if  this  unlucky  hole  were  but  re- 
duced, which,  I  fear,  may  be  too  long  yet,  and  will  be  the  utter 
undoing  of  this  poor  country,  besides  the  continuance  of  our 
miserable  hard  duty  in  this  extreme  unseasonable  weather,  more 
than  all  the  forces  of  the  kingdom  besides.  We  have  lately  had 
several  councils  of  war  here  for  the  trial  of  offenders,  wherein  we 
have  proceeded  to  the  execution  of  exemplary  justice  upon  some,  to 
the  great  satisfaction  of  the  country  and  reformation  of  the  army 
here. — The  well-affected  in  these  parts  do  greatly  rejoice,  the  malig- 
nants  are  as  much  troubled,  against  [at]  your  gallant  proceedings 
against  Charles  Stuart. — The  poor  people  in  these  parts  are  afraid  of 
Jocky  [the  Scots]  again,  hearing  rumours  as  if  they  were  preparing 
for  a  second  invasion ;  and  I  perceive  that  is  the  great  hope  of  this 
besieged  enemy. — We  find  in  the  list  of  the  King's  jury  there  is  no 
•  officer  of  our  brigade  mentioned  for  those  of  the  army.  Is  it  not  a 
little  disobligement  ?"     (Thomas  Margetts.) 

13.  "  The  Major- General  lately  returned  thither  from  the  disband- 
ing of  two  militia  regiments  of  horse,  and  is  now  again  gone  to  the 
disbanding  of  Col.  Bethel  and  the  foot  regiments  lately  before  Scar- 
borough.— The  enemy  is  yet  resolute  and  keeps  us  upon  hard  duty, 
but  I  hope  in  a  short  time  he  will  appear  but  fool-hardy.  Our  guns 
and  mortar-pieces,  together  with  the  ammunition  is  now  come  into 
this  town,  and  they  will  play  very  shortly.     They  now  and  then  drop 


*  The  ensuing  letters  firom  the  Baynes's,  Margetts  and  Bright  at  Pomfret  to  Captn. 
Adam  Baynes  in  Lordon  are  from  "  The  Roundheads  before  Pontefract,"  in  17  and  18 
Tail's  Ed.  Mag.  The  anxiety  of  Margetts  for  the  murder  of  the  King,  mixed  with 
much  religious  profession,  may  be  seen  bj  reference  to  the  letters  in  extenso  in  that 
work.

OF   PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  105 

written  to  him  this  post,  but  am  just  now  going  to  miister  one  of  the 
militia  regiments."     (Comet  John  Baynes.) 

Same  date.  "  On  Thursday  last  Capt.  Bradford  came  to  this  town, 
bj  whom  I  received  your  letter. — Malignants  talk  much  of  the  King's 
death :  well  affected  are  well  satisfied.  Malignants  plot  privately  to 
relieve  this  castle,  and  gather  together  in  woods  as  we  are  informed, 
but  we  have  sent  parties  to  apprehend  and  prevent  them.  The 
enemy  hold  out  resolutely  in  hopes  of  relief,  but  I  believe  would 
come  to  fair  terms,  for  they,  would  have  another  summons.  The 
Major-General  hath  now  done  disbanding,  and  returned  hither,  but 
at  present  is  saluting  his  ladv  at  Corbrook.  Yesterday  the  enemy 
sallied  forth  to  beat  us  out  of  our  trenches  near  Swillington  tower, 
killed  us  one  man  and  were  beaten  in  again.  Our  mortar-pieces 
have  made  some  work  among  them,  and  I  believe  will  make  more. 
They  have  heard  of  the  King's  death,  and  seem  to  be  more  resolute 
upon  it,  but  I  believe  it  will  make  some  of  them  slink."  (Mar* 
getts.) 

"  Munday,  Feb.  6.  The  iutelligence  from  Poutefract  is  this :  the 
beseiged  have  lately  made  two  sallies  forth,  but  repulsed  without  any 
great  losse  to  us.  In  the  last  they  killed  but  one  man  of  ours,  and 
we  took  two  of  theirs  prisoners,  one  of  which  had  a  small  parcel! 
of  silver  in  his  pocket,  somewhat  square ;  on  one  side  thereof  was 
stampt  a  castle  with  P.  O.  for  Pontefract,  on  the  other  side  was  the 
crown  with  O.  R.  on  each  side  of  it.  These  pieces  they  make  of 
plate  which  they  get  out  of  the  country,  and  pass  among  them  for 
coyn  •.  They  cry  they  will  have  a  king  whatever  it  cost  them." 
(The  Kingdome's  Faithfull  and  Impartial  Scout,  Feb.  2  to  9,  1648.) 

"  Letters  from  Poutefract,  that  one  Beaumont  a  priest  was 
executed,  for  corresponding  with  the  garrison  in  characters,  and  he 
chose  to  die,  rather  than  to  discover  the  characters  f."  (Whitelocke, 
under  Feb.  19.) 

24.  ''  These  parts  are  yet  quiet,  and  we  hope  will  be  kept  so  till 
this  castle  be  taken,  which,  though  it  be  not  certain,  yet  now  we 
hope  will  not  be  long,  if  Jocky  will  not  be  quiet,  we  fear  the  late 
disbanding  of  forces,  particularly  in  these  northern  parts,  and  the 
design  of  sending  so  many  out  of  England  into  Ireland,  may  give 
advantage  to  the  enemies'  designs  in  these  two  nations."  (Mar- 
getts.) 

"  Then  we  were  close  shut  up,  without  hope  of  relief,  and  our 
provisions  well  nigh  spent,  which  put  us  upon  capitulating." 
(Paulden) 

March  3.  "  This  day  we  enter  into  a  treaty  for  the  surrender  of 


*  Some  notice  of  the  siege  pieces  will  be  foand  in  the  introdartory  matter. 

t  He  was  tortured  to  force  him  to  a  discovery  of  the  cyphers  and  the  names  of  hia 
friends.  On  hia  refusal  they  hung  him  before  the  walls  of  the  castle.  It  is  said  that 
one  of  his  relatives  was  compelled  to  aasiat  at  his  execution.     (17  Tait,  744.) 

"  Mr.  Beaumont,  vicar  of  South  Kirkby/'  buried  there,  18  Feb.  1648.    (Hunter.)

OF   I'ONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  107 

(Joveruors  car,  he  sent  out  two  gentlemen,  viz. :  Col.  Eoger  Port- 
iogton,  and  Capt.  Thomas  Paulden,  to  the  General  about  it,  and 
after  the  delivery  of  their  message,  and  some  discourse,  they  agreed 
to  treat  again  this  day.  They  pretend  honour  and  conscience  will 
not  let  them  deliver  up  any :  it  will  be  murder,  they  say,  in  them, 
and  the  first  precedent  of  that  kind  in  England ;  but  I  believe  the 
thought  of  self-preservation  will  make  them  deny  their  honour,  forget 
their  conscience,  and  put  them  upon  some  way  of  satisfying  us  and 
accepting  of  reasonable  terms. — I  think  the  business  will  be  done, 
though  indeed  they  are  able,  if  resolute,  to  hold  out  a  great  while . 
still."     (Margetts.) 

**  I  only  wish  that  some  of  these  Cavaliers  may  go  the  same  war 
(living  and  dying)  vrith  Goring,  &c. ;  for  that  they  have  loved  a  lire 
to  be  with  their  comrades  rather  in  hell  (as  some  have  said)  than  in 
heaven  with  the  Eoundheads."     (John  Bavnes.) 

"  It's  hoped  this  castle  will  not  hold  out :  some  papers  were 
thrown  in  which  have  begot  some  divisions  amongst  them.  This  day 
we  are  to  meet  and  resolve  to  insist  upon  six  persons  to  be  delivered 
up  to  justice.  Both  our  mortar-pieces  have  played  this  week ;  little 
execution  to  any  within  the  castle,  saving  the  ruining  of  some  rooms, 
by  which  means  firing  is  more  plentiful  among  them  than  usual ;  in 
truth,  so  extreme  strong  is  the  castle  timber,  that  if  our  grena- 
does  break  through  one  story  it  goes  no  further."  (Col.  John 
Bright.) 

**  Upon  this  promise  [that  we  would  not  agree  to  deliver  any 
person  up,  without  his  consent,]  our  Governor  sent  six  officers  out 
of  the  castle,  to  treat  with  the  same  number  named  by  Major- General 
Lambert.  Of  our  number  I  was  one.  When  we  met,  we  told  them, 
that  we  came  to  capitulate  about  the  surrender  of  the  castle,  but 
they  could  not  expect  that  we  would  deliver  ourselves  up  to  execution. 
Upon  which.  Col.  Bright,  the  first  of  their  commissioners,  told  us, 
that  he  had  authority  from  Major- Gbneral  Lambert,  to  engage,  that 
none  of  us  that  treated,  should  be  any  of  the  excepted  persons.  We 
told  him,  that  perhaps  the  Governor  might  be  one  of  them.  He  an* 
swered,  that  he  did  believe  the  Major-General  did  not  so  much  look 
upon  the  Governor,  as  some  that  had  betrayed  the  castle  to  us,  when 
it  was  taken.  So  we  parted  for  that  time,  without  concluding  any 
thing."     (Paulden.) 

'*  At  our  return  to  the  castle,  we  acquainted  the  Governor  with  all 
had  passed  ;  some  of  our  Commissioners  telling  him  that  Col.  Bright 
had  engaged  he  should  not  be  excepted.  The  Gt>vemor  asked  me 
what  I  thought  of  it.  I  plainly  told  him  I  thoueht  ho  was  intended 
to  be  one,  and  repeated  to  him  the  very  words  that  Col.  Bright  had 
spoke,  which  made  me  suspect  he  would  be  excepted,  because  he  had 
not  engaged  that  the  Governor  should  not  be,  as  he  had  that  we 
that  treated  should  not,  but  left  it  ambiguous.  Then  one  of  oar 
Commissioners  told  him,  that  Lieut.-Col.  Crooke  had  assured  him 
that  our  Governor  was  none  of  the  excepted ;  upon  which,  he  resolved

OF    PONTEFRACT   CASTLE.  100 

"  The  Governor  and  Blackborne  charged  through,  and  escaped,  but 
were  taken  in  Lancashire  about  ten  days  after."     (Paulden.) 

**  Himself  with  two  more  excepted  persons  (whereof  MicbacU 
Blackburne  his  cornet  was  one)  and  two  servants,  with  great  courage 
and  resolution,  made  their  way  through  two  works  guaixled  by  about 
500  foot  and  horse,  and  got  clear  from  them  into  I^ncashire,  having 
had  a  promise  from  General  Lambert  (who  besieged  him)  that  if  he 
could  escape  but  5  miles  from  that  castle,  he  should  not  be  liable  to 
any  farther  question."     (Dugd.  Visit.) 

'*  Smyth  was  killed  in  the  attempt  *.  Austwick,  Ashby,  and 
Floyd  t,  were  forced  back  into  the  castle,  where  they  hid  themselves 
in  a  private  sally-port,  which  we  had  covered,  designing  to  take  the 
castle  again  by  it,  when  there  trhould  happen  a  fair  opportunity. 
Thence  thev  made  their  escape  the  next  night  after  the  castle  was 
surrendered  ^,  and  all  lived  till  after  the  Kiug*B  return  §."  (Paul- 
den.) 

''  8ir  John  Bigby  lived  many  years  afler  the  King*8  return,  and 
was  often  with  his  Majesty."     (Clarendon.) 

Lambert  gpneroQsly  consented,  '  so  that  the  rest  would  surrender  at  the  end  of  that 
time ;'  which  was  agreed  to.  Upon  the  first  day  the  garrison  appeared  twice  or  thrice, 
ai  if  thej  were  resoWed  to  make  a  sally,  but  retired  every  time  without  charging  ;  but 
the  second  day  they  made  a  very  strong  and  brisk  sally  upon  another  pfa^e  than 
where  they  had  appeared  the  day  before,  and  beat  the  enemy  from  their  post,  with 
the  loss  of  men  on  both  sides ;  and  though  the  party  of  the  castle  was  beaten  hack, 
two  of  the  six  (whereof  Morrice  was  one)  made  their  escape,  the  other  four  being 
forc^  to  retire  with  the  rc«t.  And  all  was  quiet  for  two  whole  days  ;  but  in  the 
beginning  of  the  night  of  the  fourth  day,  they  made  another  attempt  so  prosperously, 
that  two  of  the  other  fi>ur  likewise  escaped  :  and  the  next  day  they  made  great  shews 
of  joy,  and  sent  Lambert  word,  '  that  their  six  friends  were  gone  (chough  there  wore 
two  still  remaining)  and  therefore  they  would  be  ready  the  next  day  to  surrender/  " 
(Clarendcm.) 

*  **  His  body  was  borne  off  by  his  friends,  and  buried  in  the  chapel  of  St  Cle- 
ment"    (l8Tait,  40.) 

t  But  the  parliamentary  letters  quoted  by  Whitelocke,  the  memoir  of  Morris  in 
Dugdale's  Visitation,  and  Clarendon,  all  agree  that  at  least  three  escaped. 

X  *'  The  other  two  thought  it  to  no  purpose  to  make  another  attempt,  but  derisiid 
anothiT  way  to  secure  themselves,  with  a  less  dangerous  assistance  from  their  friends, 
who  had  hnt  some  of  their  own  lives  in  the  two  former  sallies  to  save  theirs.  The 
buildings  of  the  castle  were  very  large  and  spacious,  and  there  were  grtat  store  of 
wast  stones  from  some  wall<«,  which  were  fallen  down.  They  found  a  convenient 
place,  which  was  like  to  be  least  visited,  where  they  vralled  up  their  two  friends  in 
such  a  manner  that  they  had  air  to  sustain  them,  and  victual  enough  to  feed  them  a 
month,  in  which  time  they  hoped,  they  might  be  able  to  escape.  And  this  being 
done,  at  the  hoiu-  appointe<l  they  opened  their  ports,  and  after  Lsmbeit  had  caused  a 
strict  inquisition  to  be  made  for  those  six,  none  of  which  he  did  believe  had  in  truth 
escaped,  and  was  satisfied  that  none  of  them  were  amongst  those  who  were  eome  out, 
he  received  the  rest  very  civilly,  and  observed  his  promise  made  to  them  very  pnnctn- 
ally,  and  did  not  seem  sorry  that  the  six  gallant  men  (as  ho  called  them)  wevs 
escaped."     (Clarendon.) 

$  Except  Austwick.  "  Alan  Austwick,  lieutenant  of  horse  in  the  service  of  K.

OF    POXTEFKAm'   CASTLE.  Ill 

*'  A  letter  from  the  GeDeral  of  26  March,  touching  Major-General 
Lambert)  was  read.  Ordered,  that  800^.  per  annum,  land  of  inherit- 
ance out  of  the  demesnes  of  Pontfract  upon  a  true  survey  thereof,  at 
a  full  value,  as  the  same  Mere  in  1041,  be  settled  upon  Major 
General  Lambert  and  his  heirs  for  ever,  in  respect  of  his  many 
great  and  eminent  services,  performed  with  much  care,  courage,  and 
fidelity,  by  the  said  Major-General  in  the  northern  parts,  as  well 
against  the  Scots'  army  the  last  summer,  as  against  the  forces  of  Sir 
Marmaduke  Langdale  and  otherwise,  and  in  reducing  the  castle  of 
Pontfract,  being  the  last  garrison  in  England  held  out  against 
the  Parliament ;  and  in  respect  of  his  extraordinary  charge  therein, 
he  not  having  been  allowed  any  pay  as  Major-General.  Ordered, 
that  50/.  be  given  to  Mr.  Margetts,  who  brought  news  of  the  sur- 
render. Ordered,  that  a  letter  of  thanks  and  respect  from  the  House 
be  sent  to  Major-General  Lambert  and  likewise  the  like  letter  to  the 
Yorkshire  gentlemen  that  sent  up  these  petitions.*'     (Journals.) 

Sans  date.  '*  1  am  glad  to  hear  that  Pontefract  Castle  is  to  be 
demolished.  I  beseech  you  make  it  your  business  to  expedite  that 
work,  and,  if  possible,  procure  the  votes  and  orders  to  them  that  are 
to  see  it  done  to  be  sent  down  by  the  next  post.  1  pray  you  advise 
with  the  Judge  Advocate  therein  and  neglect  no  time  to  expedite  it 
[as  it,]  as  well  you  know,  very  much  concerns  the  quiet  of  these 
parts."     (Lambert  to  A.  Baynes.) 

"  Colonel  Morris,  late  Governor  of  Pontefract  Castle,  and  one 
Comet  Blackburn,  who  had  a  hand  in  the  death  of  Colonel  Bains- 
brough,  and  both  excepted  persons  at  the  rendition  of  the  castle, 
were  taken  a{  Lancaster  [read,  in  Lancashire]  in  disguises,"  (White- 
locke,  under  Ap.  4,)  "  about  ten  days  after  [their  escape],  seeing  for 
a  ship  to  pass  beyond  sea."     (Paulden.) 

**  Notwithstanding  which  assurance  [of  Lambert  that  he  should 
not  be  liable  to  question  beyond  5  miles  of  the  castle]  they  most 
perfidiously  took  him  at  Oreton  in  Fumesse  Fells,  one  Bell  a  prea- 
Dvterian  minister  and  Wrench  a  Parliament  captain  first  discovering 
liim,  and  Sawrey  a  Justice  of  Peace,  with  Fell  a  colonel,  committing 
him  to  the  castle  of  Lancaster."     (Bugd.  Visit.) 

jipril  7.  "  I  have  received  yours  (for  which  1  give  you  thanks) 
and  also  the  order  for  demolishing  of  Pontefract  Castle,  and  have 
great  assurance  of  the  effectual  and  speedy  demolishing  thereof;  all 
men  declaring  much  freeness  for  the  effecting  thereof.  Upon  Mon- 
day next  the  workmen  begin,  and,  first,  they  are  to  take  down  the 
Great  tower.  I  have  made  enquiries  into  the  Queen's  revenues 
about  Pontefract,  and  find  it  to  be  a  very  distracted  thing,  there 
being  very  little  demesne  land ;  but  so  much  as  is  I  intend  to  get 
surveyed. — 1  also  purpose  to  make  enquiry  of  some  other  demesne 
kinds  belonging  to  the  same  revenue  here  in  the  north,  that  it  mar 
be,  with  convenience,  the  want  of  the  other  may  be  supplied/* 
(Lambert  to  A.  Bavnes.)

do  bj  him  as  by  his  dear  Lord  Strafford,  put  him  to  death  without 
law,  and  then  make  an  act  it  should  be  no  precedent.  Then  he  in- 
sisted on  11  Henry  Vll.,  which  enacts  that  whoever  shall  aid  the 
King  in  his  wars  shall  not  be  questioned.  The  Court  answered, 
Henry  YIl.  was  an  usurper  and  made  that  act  for  his  own  security. 
Moms  said,  it  was  never  repealed  *.  But  the  Judges  would  hear  no 
more  and  ordered  the  Colonel  to  be  laid  in  irons. 

Morris  said  this  was  a  disgrace  to  him  and  to  all  soldiers  and 
desired  they  would  not  use  him  and  his  fellow  soldiers  who  were 
prisoners,  thus  ignominiously,  for  it  would  trouble  him  more  than 
the  loss  of  his  life.  But  they  put  irons  both  on  his  hands  and  legs 
before  he  was  removed  from  the  bar,  and  even  before  the  verdict. 
Then  the  Court  adjourned,  and  being  assembled  again  in  the  after- 
noon, the  Jury  gave  in  their  verdict  that  the  Colonel  waa  Guilty,  as 
they  did  also  against  Blackburne. 

After  the  sentence  of  death  as  a  traitor,  Morris  thanked  God  that 
he  should  die  for  a  good  cause  and  with  a  good  conscience,  and 
prayed  for  a  blessing  on  King  Charles.  There  was  some  application 
ma<)e  even  by  the  officers  of  the  rebel  army,  to  save  the  Colonel,  as 
he  was  a  prisoner  of  war.     (Abridged  from  the  State  Trials.) 

21.  York.  "  Morris  and  Blackburne  were  near  escaping  last 
night :  they  had  got  over  the  castle  wall,  but  were  taken  ere  they 
got  over  the  moat.  Tomorrow  they  are  to  be  executed,  with  about 
30  other  prisoners  t" 

Aug.  23.  Morris,  when  he  was  brought  out  of  prison  and  saw  the 
sledge,  said  he  was  as  willing  to  go  to  his  death  as  to  his  bed ;  and 
at  the  place  of  execution,  declared  that  he  waa  brought  up  in  the 
true  Protestant  religion  in  the  house  of  his  dear  master  the  Earl  of 
Straftbrd,  one  of  the  boat  governed  houses  in  the  kingdom,  and  with- 
out wavering  had  professed  it  and  now  would  die  in  it;  and,  after  a 
loyal  and  pious  address,  concluding  with  a  prayer  that  by  God's 
turning  the  hearts  of  t)io  soldiers  to  their  lawful  sovereign  the  land 
might  enjoy  peace,  which  till  then  it  would  never  do,  he  took  his 
Bible  and  read  several  passages  out  of  the  Psalms  suitable  to  his 
condition,  and  the  executioner  did  his  office.  (Abridged  from  the 
State  Trials.) 

He  "  happened  to  be  put  to  death  in  the  same  place  where  he  had 
committed  a  fault  against  the  King,  and  where  he  first  performed  ft 
great  service  to  the  Parliament."     (Clarendon.) 

"  His  body  being  afterwards  buried  according  to  his  desire  at 
Wentworth  in  this  county  of  York,  near  unto  the  grave  of  his 
wortliy  lord  and  master  the  late  famous  Earl  of  Strafford  *'  (Dugd. 
Visit.) 

•  A  few  years  after  the  reg;icidefl  tbemaelves  argued,  that  ai  they  acted  under  the 
povers  in  being,  this  statote  ought  in  equity  to  be  extended  to  tbem. 

t  **  Morrict',  by  means  of  a  rope,  had  lowered  himself  firom  the  wall,  but  his  oom- 
l»anion,  less  fortunate,  fell,  and  broke  his  leg.  Momce  generously  reftiaed  to  quit  hit 
friend."     (IBTait.  42.)

PREFACE. 


For  the  materials  out  of  which  this  Memoir  has  been 
composed  the  Council  of  the  Surtces  Society  is  indebted 
to  the  kindness  of  William  Collins,  Esq.,  of  Knares- 
brough.  They  are  merely  the  disjecta  membra  of  a 
very  large  body  of  family  papers  and  correspondence, 
which,  unfortunately,  is  not  now  in  existence.  Out 
of  the  remnants  the  editor  has  endeavoured  to  con- 
struct the  memoir  of  a  very  good  and  distinguished 
man,  who  was  an  honour  to  the  Bench  and  to  the 
great  County  which  gave  him  birth.  At  the  be- 
ginning of  his  religious  journal  he  has  modestly 
written  "  This  is  not  to  be  divulged."  The  words  and 
the  example  of  a  good  man  are  too  valuable  to  be 
suppressed.     They  should   be  the  property  of  others 


IV  I'KEFACE. 

I)esi(les  his  descendants ;  and  the  readers  of  the  journal, 
whilst  they  admire  the  modesty  of  the  writer,  will  not 
1)0  sorry  that  his  wishes  have  iK^cn  disregarded.

BRIEF  MEMOIR 


MR.  JUSTICE   ROKEBY. 


There  are  few  names  in  the  north  of  England  better  known 
than  that  of  Rokeby.  Fiction  and  history  have  done  their  best 
to  immortiiHze  it.  From  that  little  fortalice  which  overhangs 
the  Greta  where  it  commingles  with  the  Tees,  great  and  noble- 
hearted  men  have  gone  forth  who  are  not  yet  forgotten.  In 
arts  as  well  as  arms  they  made  themselves  renowned.  "So 
much  courage,  patriotism,  law,  and  piety,"  as  Dr.  Whitaker 
has  well  observed,  "  have  rarely  been  assembled  in  one  name.'' 
And  I  know  of  no  family  in  which  there  was  more  proper 
honest  pride  ;  the  virtues  of  its  great  men  were  not  the  subject 
of  vain  boasting  and  idle  talk.  Theywere  chronicled  and  re- 
corded for  imitation  and  example.  The  early  history  of  this 
ancient  and  distinguished  house  has  been  charmingly  narrated 
by  one  of  the  worthiest  of  its  members.  I  have  now  to  intro- 
duce to  the  world  another  member  of  that  illustrious  family,  of 
whom  there  is  too  little  known,  who  for  piety  and  learning  was 
inferior  to  none  of  his  noble  ancestors. 

In  the  middle  of  the  sixteenth  century,  Thomas  Rokeby,  Escj., 
of  Mortham,  who  is  mo6t  honourably  mentioned  in  the  CEoonomia 
Ilokeboioruni,  had  among  his  younger  children  a  son  who  bore 
his  own  names.  He  adopted  the  profession  of  arms,  and  settling 
at  Hotham,  in  the  East  Riding  of  the  county  of  York,  was  the

MR.   JUSTICE   ROKEBY.  8 

Council  of  the  North,  the  author  of  that  well  known  chronicle 
which  lie  loved  so  well  to  dwell  upon  *,  had  descended  to  his 
groat  grandfather,  and  the  young  student,  no  doubt,  had  often 
seen  them.  He  knew  well  the  legal  reputation  of  John  Rokeby, 
LL.D.,  the  "  Mr.  Doctor  Rokeby,"  as  ho  was  generally  called, 
wlio,  in  the  opinion  of  the  author  of  the  (Economia,  was  almost 
infallible.  He  was  brought  up,  as  it  were,  in  a  legal  atmo- 
sphere, and  we  cannot  wonder  at  his  being  sensible  of  its  influ- 
ence. 

In  1652  or  1653  he  became  a  student  at  Gray's  Inn,  a  place 
in  which  his  very  name  woidd  insure  him  some  respect.  It 
was  here  tliat  he  laid  the  foimdation  of  those  vast  stores  of 
legal  knowledge  which  were  afterwards  so  useful  to  himself  and 
others.  The  inns  of  court  were  at  that  time  filled  with  young 
gentlemen  of  the  first  families  in  the  north;  but  Kokeby 
enjoyed  their  society  without  being  deteriorated  by  it,  and 
escaped  all  those  evil  influences  and  baser  passions  which  turned 
Richard  Braithwaite,  with  all  the  versatility  of  his  talent,  into 
a  driveller  and  a  sot,  and  quenched,  too  prematurely,  that  bright 
light  of  genius  which  shone  so  promisingly  in  John  Hall  of 
Durham. 

After  Rokeby  was  called  to  the  bar,  he  seems  to  have  passed 
a  considerable  portion  of  each  year  in  chambers  at  Gray^  Inn. 
His  country  residence,  when  term  was  over,  was  at  York.  There 
was  much  to  attract  him  to  that  ancient  city.  It  was  the  capital 
of  his  native  county,  and  a  place  in  which  he  had  many  friends. 
His  mother,  too,  was  living  there.  At  York,  therefore,  he  took 
up  his  abode,  and  increased  rapidly  in  substance  and  reputa- 
tion. 

In  his  religious  opinions  Rokeby  was  strongly  tinged  with 
Puritanism,  and  to  these  views,  which  he  honestly  and  con- 
sistently maintained,  it  is  not  imjust  to  say  that  he  was  greatly 
indebted  for  his  success  in  life.  It  is  quite  natural  and  reason- 
able that  people  should,  in  their  temporal  afiairs,  seek  the  advice 
of  any  one  whose  religious  opinions  are  coincident  with  their 
ov^Ti.     It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  Rokeby  became  the  chief 


*  Tho  well  known  chronicle  of  the  history  of  the  home  of  Rokeby,  odled  the 
(Economia  Rokebeiorum.  Nearly  the  whole  of  it  is  printed  by  Dr.  Whitikker,  In  his 
History  of  Richmondshire,  and  there  is  another  MS.  copy  of  it  in  the  public  librmrj 
at  Lei'ds.  I  have  before  me  a  portion  of  a  transcript  from  the  originsl,  made  in 
1654  by  Thomas  Rokeby  when  he  was  at  Gray's  Inn.  He  had  pre^red  it  eppa- 
rently  for  publication.  It  is  prefaced  by  several  appropriate  mottoe  and  IntrodmAory 
verses  by  himself  and  other  members  of  his  family.  I  hope  to  be  able  to  bring  oot  n 
new  and  compli'to  inlition  of  this  invaluable  piece  of  fiunily  biography,  iUnitrating  il 
with  much  novel  and  interesting  information.

the  other  side  were  men  of  great  piety  and  learning^.  Edward 
Bowles  *,  who  preferred  the  maintenance  of  his  religious  prin- 
ciples to  the  deanery  of  York ;  the  good  Oliver  Heywood  f ; 
Rabbi  Calvert  X  and  his  learned  nephew ;  the  famous  Matthew 
Poole  §,  Williams  ||,  and  Ward  % :  all  these  at  that  time  set  an 

He  is  said  to  have  left  behind  him  a  fortune  of  20,000/.  Nardssus  Luttrel,  and 
other  writers,  speak  to  his  avarice. 

*  Of  this  pious  and  excellent  man  even  his  opponents  must  speak  with  respect. 
He  was  the  leader  of  the  Nonconformists  in  the  North,  and  the  friend  and  patron  of 
all  i^^ood  men.  He  died  suddenly  a  few  years  after  the  Restoration.  Dnring  the 
Commonwealth  he  preached  at  the  Minster,  and  at  All  Saints  in  the  PaTement. 
There  is  a  good  deal  about  him  in  all  the  Puritan  writers,  and  there  are  some  interest- 
ing notices  of  him  in  the  Fairfax  correspondence ;  for  he  was  greatly  concerned  in 
the  stirring  events  of  the  times,  having  been  chaplain  to  Sir  Thomas  Fairfax.  There 
are  several  elegies  on  his  death.  Two  of  them  are  among  the  Rokeby  Papers.  One 
't»  by  R.  S.,  probably  Richard  Stretton.  It  is  not  worthy  of  being  printed  here,  for 
it  is  little  mure  than  a  metrical  sermon.    The  author  calls  him 

*'  The  glory  of  the  North  parts,  York's  right  eye, 
His  brethren's  right  hand,  one  who  from  on  high 
Was  fumisht  with  incomparable  parts 
For  the  instructing  minds  and  warming  hearts." 

Mr.  Bowles  died  on  Aug.  21,  1667.  The  24th  was  black  Barthobmew  day,  on  which 
circumstance  Mr.  Stretton  composes  what  he  calls  a  Chronogramma,—"  Cadit  et 
Bartholomaeus  oritur." 

t  For  an  account  of  this  estimable  person,  and  an  admunable  aooount  of  the  rise  of 
the  old  dissent,  I  must  refer  my  readers  to  the  most  interesting  Life  of  Heywood, 
which  has  been  published  by  my  kind  and  rerered  friend  Mr.  Joseph  Hunter, 
F.S.A. 

X  Thomas  Calvert,  rector  of  All  Saints,  Pavement,  and  the  author  of  several  very 
learned  works.  He  was  a  distinguished  Orientalist,  so  much  so,  that  he  was  generally 
called  Rabbi  Calvert.  Thoresby  gives  an  interesting  aooount  of  him  and  speaks  oif 
him  with  very  great  respect.  James  Calvert,  his  brother's  son,  was  a  very  celebrated 
sciiolar.  I  have  a  copy  of  a  very  rare  work  which  he  published,  entitled  "  NaphtaU : 
seu  oolluctationes  theologies  cum  tribus  ingentibus  dubiis,  viz.  De  reditu  decern 
tribuum,  conversione  Judieorum,  mensuris  sacris  Ezekielis.  Authore  Jaoobo  Gal* 
vert,  Eboracensi.     4to.     Londini,  1672." 

$  About  Matthew  Poole,  the  author  of  the  &mou8  Synopsis  Criticonun,  there  is 
much  to  bo  found  in  many  places.  There  are  a  few  supplementary  notices  respecting' 
him  in  the  A])pendix  to  Mr.  Mayor's  Life  of  Matthew  Ilobinson.  I  have  mncn  plea- 
sure in  adding  anothtnr.  In  1677  Thomas  Lord  Fairfisx  leaves  the  sum  of  10/.  **  to 
Mr.  Matthew  Poole,  towards  the  carrying  on  of  his  Synopsis  of  the  Creticks.''  Few 
people  are  aware  of  the  extent  of  the  obligations  that  literature  and  literary  men  wera 
under  to  the  famous  General. 

II  PetiT  Williams,  a  native  of  York,  and  a  pious  minister  among  the  Puritans.  He 
had  a  weekly  lecture  in  the  city  at  the  house  of  Lady  Lister,  and,  after  her  death,  at 
Lady  Watson's.  He  died  in  1680,  leaving  an  excellent  character  behind  him  for 
piety  and  goodness.  He  was  a  friend  and  spiritual  adviser  of  Mrs.  Rokeby.  I  am 
fortunate  enough  to  possess  a  little  volume  of  which  he  was  the  author,  a  book  of  ex- 
cessive rarity.  It  is  entitled  **  ^tXavOpmwia,  or  the  transcendency  of  Christ's  love 
towards  the  children  of  men.  Laid  down  by  the  Apostle  St.  Pliul  hn  Ephea.  iii.  19. 
A  treatise  formerly  preached,  but  now  enlarged  and  published  for  common  benefit. 
H>  Peter  Williams,  Preacher  of  the  Gospel."  Small  8vo.  London,  1665.  pp.  276. 
It' is  dedicaUnl  **  To  his  Christian  and  deariy  beloved  friends  in  York,  and  elsewhere." 
Tliis  copy,  in  addition  to  the  rarity  of  the  work,  which  is  very  great  indeed,  is  also  in- 
teresting from  the  circumstance  of  its  being  the  copy  that  was  presented  by  the  author

In  the  earlier  part  of  his  life  Danby  resided  in  York.  In  1653  he  bought  tiw 
manor  of  Kirkby  Knowle  of  the  heiresses  of  Constable.  He  found  the  house  so  much 
dilapidated,  that  he  added  to,  and  repaired,  it  to  such  an  extent  that  he  called  it  New 
building,  a  name  by  which  it  is  still  known.  He  is  said,  by  tradition,  to  have  paUed 
down  «  portion  of  the  adjacent  castle  of  Upsall  to  enable  Um  to  erect  hb  own  man- 
sion. He  was  a  person  of  great  experience  as  a  land-agent,  and  was  the  confidential 
adviser  of  many  distinguished  families  in  Yorkshire.  In  his  will  he  Mys,  **  I  have

But  there  is  no  one,  however  fortunate  he  may  appear  to  be, 
who  is  free  from  care  in  some  form  or  other.  Ilokeby's  chief 
annoyance  in  life  was  the  carelessness,  and  improvidence  of  his 
brothers.  William  Ilokeby*,  the  eldest  of  the  five,  wrecked  a 
tine  estate,  and  died  almost  in  penury — the  other  three,  Joseph, 
John,  and  Benjamin,  were  merchants,  and  were  frequently  in 

He  hath  a  grate  dell  of  worke  for  70a  to  dow  befor  He  takes  70a  henoe.  God  hath 
taken  away  seTerel  of  our  sosiety  heare,  and  thos  that  upholds  it  are  werj  ould,  weke 
and  inferme,  so  that  its  sad  to  think  what  grat  alterationes  may  be  in  this  plas  in  a 
litell  time.  Our  Bishop  is  a  grat  Arminion,  and  grat  floking  to  heare  him.  We  are 
heare  in  expictation  of  hearing  grate  things.  The  Lord  is  at  worke  and  He  only  can 
pri'par  and  litt  us  for  His  provedenc  whateyer  it  be.  I  give  yor  LadyP  thanks  for 
yor  leters  and  kind  advise  and  has  and  shall  indever  to  follow  it  I  am  now  as 
unesy  and  ell  as  I  can  right,  and  gos  up  and  down  with  so  much  wekens  that  I  am  a 
wonder  to  myselfe :  yet  God  sufcrs  an  unprofitabell  reck  and  a  comber  of  the  grond 
to  contennew  when  He  take  away  maney  ussfiiell  ones.  My  sanres  to  Sr  Tho. 
Rokeby.  Doare  madam  pray  for  me.  I  am  yor  Lady^P  hnmbell  and  fiuthfoU  sanrent, 
"  The  20  May.  "  8a.  Hiwlet." 

**  Honored  Madam,  I  have  had  a  very  bade  sumer,  for  I  wos  never  so  ill,  slepey, 
sencles  and  sotish  in  my  life,  but  I  must  luke  to  grow  wors  and  wors  ever  year  now  t 
the  Lord  heipe  mc  to  lieve  as  one  that  is  in  expictation  of  death  dayly :  this,  I  hope, 
will  pled  sornthing  for  my  neglegens,  for  indeed  I  have  ben  unfit  for  any  implyment 
and  am  but  littel  beter  now,  tboug  I  cannot  forbear  exprising  my  trobel  that  yoa 
should  say  you  think  never  to  see  Yorkshire  againe.  I  allwayes  conclued  you  wold 
not  dwecll  heare  any  more ;  yet  I  deed  not  think  but  your  relations  and  frindes 
wold  have  dron  you  dowen  sumtimes.  I  beleve  non  wold  rejoys  more  to  see  your 
ladyP  then  I  whos  companey  I  have  had  and  has  a  grat  want  of.  I  cannot  right  what 
I  should  speke.  As  for  the  marriage  you  spoke  of  I  wos  never  oonsamed  in  it  eather 
by  my  husbone  or  the  partes  tell  it  was  conclured,  and  then  my  husband  right  to  me 
from  London  in  short  that  ther  wold  be  such  a  mach,  and  that  he  had  sc^^eled  ther 
afaires,  but  nather  befor  tlie  marriage  nor  sence  ded  he  ever  speke  on  word  of  it  to 
me.  This  you  will  think  straing  but  it  is  very  true :  so  that  I  am  not  wiling  to 
intnid  wliare  I  shall  have  so  littel  thank  for  my  laber.  I  give  yoor  Ladyship  a 
thousen  thanks  for  your  good  concel  and  begs  your  prayers  that  God  will  ioport 
and  derict  a  poor  dissolat  cratuer.     I  am  your  Ladyship

*'  I  have  a  grat  a  very  grat  lose  of  Mr.  Ward.  Pray  give  my  humbell  senrioei  to 
Sir  Thos.  Rokeby.    For  my  Lady  Rokeby,  Sargeani  Inn,  Fleet  Street,  LoiuUm." 

*  William  Rokeby  was  brought  up  a  Uwyer,  and  was  at  Gray's  Inn  from  1661  to 
Mm'S.  In  the  fonner  of  those  years  I  find  him  expressing  in  a  letter  to  fair  brother 
his  wish  to  get  possession  of  the  estate  of  some  Roman  Catholic  gentleman  in  York- 
shire on  the  score  of  delinquency.  He  inherited  a  very  good  estate  within  the 
Dt>anery  of  Doncaster  which  he  did  his  best  to  scatter  to  the  winds.  A  large  and 
expensive  family,  recklt>ss  improvidence,  and  easy  good  nature,  brought  him  into  great 
ditfieulties,  from  which  he  was  frequently  extricated  by  his  brother  Thomas.  He  died 
in  \^iH).  His  widow,  Emm  dau.  of  Sir  Wm.  Bury  of  Grantham,  snrviTed  him  a  few 
yi>ars  and  died  at  Tunbridge  Wells  in  17U3.  Samuel  Crompton,  son  of  Mr.  John 
Crompton,  a  well  known  Puritan  minister  at  Arnold,  Co.  Notts,  was  her  private 
chaplain  for  some  time  before  she  died.  He  had  also  a  congregatioD,  aocordinf  to 
Palmer,  at  Doncaster.  The  following  extracts  from  two  letters  addressed  by  Wm. 
Rokeby  to  his  brother  Thomas  show  the  feeling  that  existed  between  them : — 

"Sep.  14.  \m\.  Ff-om  Wm.  Rokeby,  I  writt  to  you  to  retnme  yoa  my  moat 
harty  tliankes  fur  your  incomparable  love  and  kindness  to  me  in  yov  pitty  and

rarely  to  be  met  with  in  letter  writers  of  that  period,  and  there

*  This  and  the  three  following  lettera  are  addrened  to  the  writer^!  fctber-is-kw, 
James  Danby,  from  York.  He  had  deterred  hit  Mm-in-law  firom  going  vp  to  hk 
chambers  in  Gray's  Inn  on  account  of  the  plague.  That  great  acourge  waa  j«il 
beginning  to  make  its  most  violent  onsUught  upon  London,  an  attack  wbkh  I 
graphically  described  in  the  picturesque  narrative  of  De  Foe. 

In  May,  IdGti,  Joseph  Rokeby  writes  thua  from  London  to  hb  bro. 
**  The  mortallity  increaseth  this  week  21,  of  the  pla.  13,  dying  of  all  diseaaea  236,  and 
of  them  of  the  plauge  63.  Blessed  be  God  that  it  inoreaaeth  noe  more.  We  an 
pritty  deare  in  the  citty  as  but  one  increased  of  thefpla.  within  the  walla.  Wee  ha?* 
great  reason  to  stand  astonished  at  God's  great  mercy,  that  when  wee  aboud  in 
wickednessc,  He  is  pleased  to  abound  in  mercy,  to  Whoee  holy  name  be  the  pmiat 
and  glory." 

Benjamin  Rokeby,  the  writer's  youngest  brother,  waa  a  merdiant  in  the  peiith  of 
St.  Margaret's,  Lothbury.  He  was  in  partnership  with  Mr.  Thoa.  Langkan  who 
purchased  the  estate  of  Arthingworth,  Northanta.  He  married  Mr.  Langhem'e 
daughter,  and  became  in  right  of  her,  the  owner  of  Arthingworth  which  is  still  in  the 
possefsion  of  his  descendants.  In  1666  Benjamin  Rokeby  waa  in  Spain.  In  1077-3 
he  had  got  into  diflSculties  and  was  in  prison  for  debt,  but  hia  brother  kindly  releaaed 
him.     In  lf>88  he  and  his  father-in-law  took  a  house  and  shop  in  Biahopagate  stieeL 

t  This  house  had  been  left  to  her  in  her  husband's  will,  and  it  appeart  that  ahe 
had  resided  in  it  for  some  time.  I  do  not  know  either  the  place  where  she  wth^ 
setjuently  resided,  or  when  she  died.

then  we  may  learne  something.  I  will  allow  him  two  or  three  dayes 
att  another  time  to  receive  his  freinds:  cakes  and  ale,  if  he  shall 
desire  it.  Wo  are  all  in  health,  blessed  be  God,  and  present  our

**Torke,  14  Nov.  67." 

"  Apr.  25.  1668.  Here  is  a  rumor  of  a  Frenchman  of  Souen  that 
is  now  in  Newgate,  and  was  apprehended  upon  a  discourse  of  his 
owne  to  a  citizen  of  London  living  about  Temple  barr,  who  tdls 
there  is  a  design  of  burning  again  this  summer  which  is  intended  to 
begin  about  Chancery  lane  and  that  it  is  to  be  about  August  and  y^ 
a  French  fleet  will  then  appeare  upon  our  coast,  and  y'  there  are 
great  designs  of  j^  Papists  against  the  Protestants :  and  its  said  y* 
man  is  very  free  in  his  discovery  now  when  he  is  in  y«  gaole  t**' 

"  Deare  bro. :  I  hope  you  got  safe  to  London  with  all  your  con- 
cemes,  of  which  I  should  be  glad  to  heare. 

"  Tour  hogg  (for  which  we  are  all  to  thanke  you)  proved  very 
fatt,  and  had  noe  other  fault  but  that.  I  sent  a  quarter  to  Ackworth, 
and  a  quarter  to  Newbuilding,  and  upon  y^  head  and  y*  other  two 
quarters  we  made  a  great  invasion  upon  Thursday  last,  and  remem- 
bred  you  and  bro.  Jos  and  all  freinds  in  five  or  six  sorts  of  liquors. 
Both  Mr.  Hen.  Hall  and  Ea.  Waterhouse  deceived  me  without  any 


bis  death,  drawn  up  by  Mr.  Josepb  Stennett,  but  it  is  not  wortby  of  being  perpetntod 
here. 

Joseph  Rokeby,  his  only  son,  witnessed  the  extinction  of  e^ery  family  of  his  name 
in  Yorkshire,  but  so  ^jeai  was  his  attachment  to  his  ancient  house  that  he  actually 
passed  over  in  his  will  the  issue  of  his  two  sisters,  and  left  the  estates  of  Sandal  to 
his  cousin  Rokeby  of  Arthingworth  in  Northants.  **  Ilaring  a  great  desire,'*  he  says, 
**  that  the  estate  at  Sandall,  near  Doncaster,  should  still  continue  as  it  has  done  for 
many  years  in  my  own  name  and  femily,  I  giye  and  bequeath  all  my  lands,  &«.,  at 
Kirksandall,  Long  Sandall,  Bentley  Inges,  and  Bamby  Dun  to  my  cousin,  TiangliaiB 
Rokeby,  for  his  life,  and  then  to  his  heirs  male,  and,  failing  them,  to  the  son  of 
Joseph  Rokeby,  commonly  called  Captain  Rokeby,  of  Hurwoith,  late  deoeaaed,  and 
his  heirs  for  ever." 

The  "  Captain  Rokeby "  here  mentioned  was  one  of  the  last  larriTon  of  tlie 
ancient  family  of  Mortham. 

*  Another  letter  addressed  to  Mr.  Danby.  The  writer  had  been  taking  potMiaon 
of  a  new  house  in  York,  and  was  anxious  to  get  the  garden  put  into  proper  trinu 
Mr.  Danby  had  been  very  kind  to  him  in  assisting  to  fvnish  his  house. 

t  A  specimen  of  the  rumours  that  were  then  rife  in  London,  raised,  lor  the  moel 
part,  by  cunning  and  designing  men,  but  occasionally  founded  upon  tmth.  Tbej  are 
the  natural  results  of  a  state  of  eociety  where  foreign  influenoee  are  poC«ift»  and  whert 
religious  parties  are  fierce  and  unoompromlsing.

gowno  may  not  bo  deferred  till  Loft's  next  jorney,  but  sent  by  y« 
first  carrier,  and  if  it  be  not  too  much  trouble  I  desire  you  also  to 
seud  me  a  rideing  cloake  of  y®  best  worsted  camlett  of  a  fashionable 
sorte.  I  am  sorry  to  heare  of  your  indisposition ;  I  pray  God  restore 
you  to  health  and  preserve  you  in  it  and  bless  you  both  in  soul  and 
body.  My  brother  Weddell  is  very  ill,  and  I  doubt  in  a  dangerous 
feaver :  ho  hath  been  blooded  this  morning,  though  against  his  own 
inclination.  He  takes  very  little  rest,  and  y*  truth  is  I  am  afraid  of 
him.  The  Lord  fitt  him  and  us  for  all  His  owne  appointments. 
Grant  that  whether  liveing  or  dying  we  may  be  the  Lord's.

"  Nov.  5,  1668.  Honored  Sir ;  truth  will  out,  and  what  neither  I 
durst  write  from  Doncaster,  nor  my  bro.  Joseph  would  from  Stam- 
ford, may,  I  hope,  be  written  from  York  without  much  trouble  to 
you.  My  Sowerby  horse,  as  arrant  a  jade  as  I  could  wish  to  buy, 
lamed  himself  in  our  first  dayes  jorney  to  Ackworth,  and  y«  next 
morning  I  was  gone  about  business  about  6  miles  off,  before  it  was 
discovered,  but  when  it  was  found  out  my  wife  was  gladd  to  betake 
herself  to  y®  gray  mare  as  being  the  better  horse,  and  she  brought 
her  to  Doncaster  with  much  more  ease  to  her  mind  then  y*  other. 
By  that  time  we  had  been  3  or  4  houres  att  Doncaster  your  owne 
saddle  horse  complained  of  a  hinder  foot  and  was  in  such  paine  that 
he  refused  his  meet,  and  the  next  morning  was  scarce  able  to  let  his 
foot  touch  the  ground,  soe  y*  farrier  blooded  him  in  the  toe  vain  and 
applyed  some  things  to  him  which  I  hope  have  done  him  good,  and 
he  is  come  hither  this  night  from  Ackworth  •." 

"  Mar.  2,  1668-9.  Honored  Sir, — I  bless  Ood  I  came  safe  home 
last  night,  and  had  a  very  good  jorney  downe,  onely  y*  waters  were 
out  a  little  at  Ferrybridge,  but  I  thanke  Qod  I  gott  well  o? er  f."

*  A  letter  to  Mr.  Danby,  describing  a  mishap  that  occurred  on  the  wav  to  AA» 
worth.     William  Rokeby,  Esq.,  the  writer's  elder  brother,  redded  at  that  place.

fath«  r-in.law,  Mr.  Danby.  The  journey  to  and  firom  LondoA  waa  in  tboee  dayt  a 
very  serious  matter.  Bad  roads,  a  wretdiedly-diained  country,  and  aanndtng  bands,

then  she  hath  been  of  late,  onely  some  thing  afflicted  with  y«  yiolent 
cold  of  y*'  season.  My  bro.,  I  thanke  God,  is  not  dejected,  nor  I 
hope  will  have  noe  occation.  He  tells  me  he  hath  lately  given  you 
a  full  account  of  all  his  concenies  in  brother  John's  affairs,  which  I 
am  very  glad  of,  as  being  that  which  I  allwayes  desired.*' 

"  Torke,  5'  Aug.  72.  Honored  Sir, — I  return  you  many  thankee 
for  your  great  kindness  expressed  in  your  last  to  my  wife.  I  thanke 
God  we  want  not  supplyes  for  our  present  occasions,  but,  however, 
we  are  not  the  less  sensible  of  your  love  to  us. 

"  1  desire  when  you  send  to  Morton  that  you  will  let  your  man 
bring  my  wife's  young  mare  to  Newbuilding,  and  let  the  horse  rider 
have  her  4  or  5  dayes  to  put  her  into  her  pace,  and  then  I  will  send 
for  her  hither.  I  write  this  not  knowing  whether  my  wife  will  write 
or  not  by  this  bearer ;  her  finger  is  so  troublesome  to  her  that  she 
cannot  write  with  ease.  Her  and  my  duty  to  y'  selfe  and  my 
motlier  with  our  due  respects  to  bro.  and  sisters.  I  desire  your 
prayer  for  a  blessing  upon  us.'* 

"  Torke,  26  Dec.  72.  Honored  Sir,— I  must  begg  your  pardon  if 
J  erre  in  telling  you  that  I  feare  your  sorrow  for  y«  late  afflicting 
providence  of  God  toward  you  may  exceed  the  due  measure,  and,  I 
beseech  you,  give  me  leave  to  offer  something  toward  the  allaying  of 
it  *.     It  cannot  be  denyed  but  there  is  some  tribute  of  greife  due  to 

•  This  excellent  letter  was  written  to  Mr.  James  Danby  by  Mr.  Rokeby  upon  the 
dcsith  of  his  brother,  Mr.  Francis  Danby.  He  lived,  I  beliere,  at  Thorpbastet,  and 
died  in  some  difficulties.  The  following  letter,  which  he  wrote  to  his  brother  James, 
is  well  worthy  of  being  recorded. 

**  Loveinge  brother, — I  am  excedinge  sory  thatt  yon  have  such  sore  eyes,  aotl  your 
health  no  better,  and  itt  is  a  great  troble  to  me  thatt  I  am  nott  yett  able  to  geCt  to 
see  yoQ.  Hero  was  with  me  on  Munday  last  Mr.  Uaman  Daltre  of  Catton  and  a 
younge  minister  his  sonn,  who  told  me  he  had  bene  with  yon  on  the  Tharsday  before. 
I  know  notliinge  touchinge  the  man,  butt  we  have  reports  that  the  Earle  hath  pro- 
mised this  hveinge  to  one  Mr.  iluraes  (by  means  of  Mister  Hodgson)  if  his  owne 
chaployne  do  nott  like  of  itt.  And  itt*8  also  reported  that  Sir  Tho.  Gower  hath  gott 
a  grant  of  itt  for  one  Mr.  Heslerton  one  of  Mr.  Joseph  Heslerton's  sonns  of  Hnttoo; 
butt  I  hope  Mr.  Haddlesay  may  make  them  weary  with  wayteinge,  for  be  conceavet 
thatt  he  recovers  prittily  and  hath  gott  a  stomacke  to  his  meat,  well  reliishinge  itt, 
and  thatt  he  does  recover  strenght,  yett  he  is  nott  able  to  gett  upp  firom  his  bedd. 
1  conceave  he  may  contynue  now  some  tyme,  yett  I  fear  he  will  scarse  ever  be  able  to 
gcx>  on  his  feet,  butt  he  hopes  he  shall.  I  have  had  a  sore  tyme  with  my  infirmity 
which.  I  conceave,  is  y^  gowte,  butt,  I  thank  God,  I  do  mend  pritty  well.  I  was 
ciiar^efl  to  be  att  Hirdsall  before  the  Comn  for  the  Poll  on  Tuesday  last,  and  did  goe, 
thoui;h  very  untit,  for  I  cannott  yett  put  on  a  boote,  bat  hopeinge  that  I  shal  be  able 
to  ^ue  abroad  shortly  (myne  occasions  pressinge  me)  made  me  goe,  butt  I  have  gott 
cold  and  am  worse.  They  gave  us  charge  to  retourne  all  (of  whatt  age  soever)  thatt  ar 
noft  received  by  almes  and  does  nott  pay  to  the  church  and  poore  and  to  be  careful! 
to  oniitt  noe  servants,  and  to  give  in  their  dae  wages.  They  were  told  thatt  the ' 
Com^K  in  some  places  had  taken  in  bills,  wherin  none  were  named  under  16  years  ot 
aice,  butt  they  would  nott  listen  to  that.  They  make  me  a  gentleman,  now  in  myne 
old  and  every  way  declineinge  days,  though  in  all  my  former  tyme  I  have  ooely 
desired  to  be  an  honest  yeoman,  butt  I  could  nott  fiurly  gett  it  avoyded,  thmigh  none

I  write  troublesome  beyond  your  forgiveness,  which  liwlieve  I  shall 
the  more  e«i8ily  obtain  because  my  design  herein  is  onely  to  contri- 
bute my  poor  help  towards  that  calmness  and  sedateness  of  mind 
which  1  heartely  wish  and  pray  for  in  all  occurrences  of  this  life 
which  doe  or  ii\ay  concern  you  or  your  affectionate  and  obedient 
son. *' 

"  Torke  30  Ju.  74.  Deare  bro.*,  we  purpose,  God  willing,  to  set 
forward  to-morrow  morning,  and  my  affairs  in  this  place  will  not 
allow  me  to  stay  much  above  14  dayes  att  y^  Bath,  and  it  may  not 
be  soe  much.  I  write  this  that  Ben.  may  know  how  long  we  thinke 
to  stay.  I  am  glad  to  heare  that  ho  hath  good  success  att  Tunbridge. 
Blessed  be  God  for  it,  without  Whose  blessing  all  these  things  are 
ineffectual!.  I  desire  you  to  buy  and  send  me  down  by  Loft  a  dozen 
of)'*  plain  bibles  you  once  sent.  I  shall  bo  ever  and  anon  troubleing 
you  in  this  manner  till  you  send  me  my  account.  Mr.  Danby  is 
here  and  is  very  well,  thaukes  be  to  God.  All  our  respects  to  you 
and  bro.  Ben.  Trusting  you  and  us  and  all  your  and  our  affaires  to 
the  good  providence  of  our  God  I  remain,  your  very  affectionate,

"  York  20  Mar.  1G77-8.  Deare  bro.f,  I  have  not  writt  to  Tom 
Waterhouse  since  his  letter  to  me.  In  very  great  civility  and  com- 
plement to  me  and  my  profession  he  sayes  that  he  would  almost  as 
t*oone  be  a  cobler  as  a  councellor,  which  inclination  if  he  had  fully 
diacoveivd  before  I  had  any  way  medled  with  his  affaires,  he  should 
almost  as  soon  have  had  a  cobler  as  a  councellor  to  have  taken  care 
of  him.  I  must  intreat  you  to  put  Tom  to  board  att  some  arithme- 
tick  sciioole,  or  else  we  must  thinke  of  sending  him  into  Holland  for 
it.  I  am  very  sorry  for  the  condition  of  your  son  Tom,  whoae 
recovery  I  here  pray  for,  if  it  be  the  will  of  God.  Our  God  is  holy 
and  wise  and  ri»;hteous  and  gracious  in  what  He  doth.  He  is  soe  in 
this  stroke  of  His  providence  upon  your  son  ;  He  is  soe,  in  leaviDce 
some  of  our  relations  to  mine  their  outward  estates ;  He  is  ace  in 
leaving  the  children  of  some  to  be  crosses  and  afflictions  to  their 
relations  and  He  is  soe  in  denying  me  children.  I  hartily  ¥ri8h  that 
these  severall  sorts  of  disappointments  may  put  us  all  upon  serious 
and  earnest  looking  after  those  spirituall  and  heavenly  contentments 
which  are  of  a  certain,  eternall,  and  satisfying  natur^.     I  am

t  Addressed  to  his  brother  Benjamin  Rokebj.  Tom  Waterhonae,  the  youth  men- 
tioned in  this  letter,  was  the  writer's  nephew.  What  became  of  him  I  do  not  know. 
Nothint^  can  be  more  touching  than  the  latter  part  of  the  letter  in  which  Mr,  Rokeby 
alludes  to  the  trials  that  had  befallen  his  family.  "Tom'*  the  youth  mentioDed,  died, 
1  believe,  soon  after  the  date  of  this  letter.

MR.  JUSTICE    ROKEBY.  23 

that  on  Thursday  last  his  son  John  was  drowned  nerc  Doncaster  as 
he  was  comeing  from  Sandall  with  some  rents  which  he  had  received 
there.  His  body  was  not  then  found  and  since  that  I  have  not  heard 
any  thing  from  thence.  I  pray  God  sanctifye  to  us  all,  and  especially 
to  his  nere  relations,  this  chastizeing  providence.  Our  God  is  right- 
eous in  all  His  waves  and  holy  in  all  His  workes,  and  it  becomes  us 
to  be  silent  before  Him  because  He  hath  done  it.** 

"York,  21  Apr.  88.  Deare  bro.* — I  thanke  you  for  your  kind 
token  of  oranges  which  proved  very  good.  I  thanke  you  also  for 
your  care  about  the  pippins  and  cider  which  likewise  are  very  good. 
My  poore  wife  hath  been  much  indisposed  and  hath  been  blooded  and 
under  the  prescriptions  of  the  physitian  this  weeke,  and,  I  blest  Gk>d, 
she  is  now  much  better,  and  my  sister  Smithson  is  well  recovered  of  a 
dangerous  squinsey  which  the  doctor  was  afraid  would  have  choked 
her.  Dolly  is  very  well,  thanks  be  to  God.  I  committ  you  and  us 
and  all  our  affaires  to  the  good  providence  of  our  gracious  God  and 
Father  in  Jesus  Christ.** 

"  My  deare  sister  t, — Our  heavenly  Father  hath  an  unquestionable 
right  to  doe  whatever  He  pleases  with  us  ^d  all  our  relations  and 
concernments,  and  whatsoever  He  doth  it  is  alwayes  best,  however 
our  blindness  and  unbeliefe  may  hinder  us  from  apprehending  it  to  be 
soe.  Oh  that  ue  could  live  more  that  precious  life  of  faith.  I  con- 
fess it  is  much  easier  to  speake  of  it  unto  others  than  to  put  it  in 
practice  ourselves  when  it  comes  to  be  our  own  case  to  need  it  most. 
God  hath  now  put  you  and  yours  into  such  circumstances  that  you 
are  now  under  severall  promises  and  declarations  of  kindness  made 
by  God.  To  those  in  your  condition  He  hath  said  by  y"  Psalmist  in 
y^  68  Psal.  5,  *  a  father  of  the  fatherless  and  a  judge  of  y*  widows  is 
God  in  his  holy  habitation.'  Y*'  notion  of  a  father  imports  y*  greatest 
tendemes  of  affection,  and  that  of  a  judge  y*  greatest  care  to  doe 
right,  and  to  rescue  from  wrong  and  oppression ;  and  I  know  not 
why  a  beleiving  soul  may  not  by  faith  lay  hold  of  that  expression  as  a 
promise,  w^*^  is  in  y"  49  Jer.  11,  *  Leave  thy  fatherless  children;  I 

artful  attorney  at  Doncaster,  of  the  name  of  Gamble,  who,  through  post  obit  bonds, 
and  the  various  tricks  of  money-lenders,  got  his  prospective  estate  into  his  hands. 
The  account  of  this  trani^action  will  be  found  in  Mr.  Hunter's  history  of  the  Deanery 
of  Doncaster.  He  was  completely  lost  in  fecklessness  and  extravagance.  In  Not. 
1705,  Mr.  Crompton.  writing  from  Sandal  to  Lady  Rokeby,  says,  **  there  is  a  report 
at  I>oncaster  that  Mr.  Tbo.  Rokeby  is  married  to  a  person  he  hath  long  kept  with 
him."     The  young  spendthrift  died  on  May  2,  I7O6. 

*  Another  letter  to  his  brother  Joseph.  The  ''sister  Smithson"  was  a  Miss 
Danby,  and  "  Dolly"  was  Mr.  Joseph  Rokeby's  own  daughter,  who  afterwards  mar- 
ried Jame.s  Wyndlow  of  Thirsk.  She  generally  lived  with  her  ancle,  and  was  a  very 
great  fuvourite  of  his. 

t  Written  to  his  sister-in-law,  Milcah  Rokeby,  on  the  death  of  her  husband,  the 
writer's  brother,  Joseph  Rokeby.  Of  Mr.  Joseph  Rokeby  somewhat  has  been 
already  said.

striking  interest,  Mr.  Rokeby  began  to  note  down  in  a  book  his 
most  secret  thoughts  and  aspirations,  which,  ever  since  his 
decease,  have  been  copied  and  re-copied  by  his  descendants  and 
cherished  by  them  as  precious  treasures.  "That  great  and 
good  man,  the  late  William  Wilberforce,''  was  so  struck  by 
them  that  it  was  his  intention  to  have  given  them  to  the  world. 
I  cannot  but  think  that  too  little  attention  has  been  paid  to 
documents  of  this  kind.  Not  only  are  they  interesting  as 
evidences  of  the  workings  of  the  mind  of  a  good  and  a  great 
man,  but  they  are  most  valuable  for  the  light  which  they  throw 
upon  the  religious  history  of  the  time  in  which  they  were  com- 
posed. The  Presbyterian  party  took  a  most  important  part  in 
secular  and  ecclesiastical  affairs  in  the  seventeenth  century,  and 
in  being  made  acquainted  w4th  the  feelings  and  the  thoughts  of 
a  man  so  distinguished  as  Mr.  Justice  Rokeby,  wo  learn  much 
of  that  great  body  which  he  assisted  at  the  same  time  with  his 
counsel  and  his  character. 

The  journal  begins  in  the  following  manner : — 

This  booke  is  for  myselfe  in  my  greatest  and  best  oom- 
mendments, — T.  Rokeby. 

Oh,  Lord  my  God,  I  humbly  pray  Thee,  for  Christ's  sake, 
to  pardon  my  standing  so  long  idle  as  I  have  done  in  the  day 
of  my  life,  I  being  now  in  the  fifty-seventh  year  of  my  age,  and 
have  done  Thee  very  little  service  in  all  that  time :  the  Lord 
help  me  to  bring:  forth  more  fruit  now  in  my  declining  age. 
Blessed  be  God,  Who  (as  it  is  in  the  parable  Matt.  xx.  9)  gave  a 
penny  to  those  who  came  to  labour  m  the  vineyard  but  at  the 
eleventh  hour. 

T.  Rokeby. 

6  May  1688. 

'  I  humbly  resolve  I  vnR  be  a  sincere  disciple  of  Jesus  Christ. 
1.  I  will  deny  myself.  2.  I  will  take  up  my  crosse.  3.  I  will 
follow  Christ. 

May  the  0th  1688.  I,  Thomas  Rokeby*,  doe  here  under  my 
own  hand  solemnly  and  deliberately  dedicate  and  devote  myselfe, 

*  It  was  a  common  practice  among  the  early  and  the  later  Puritant  to  make  a 
special  covenant  with  their  Maker,  and  to  renew  it  loleiimlj  at  stated  periods.  Olifer 
Hey  wood  renewed  his  baptismal  covenant  every  year  on  the  anrnversary  of  hit 
baptism.  Matthew  Henry  did  the  same  every  new  year's  day.  Many  other  ezaaplei 
can  be  given.  Judge  Rokeby 's  M.S.  ia  drawn  up  in  a  moU  preciie,  I  had  alBMM*  laid

covenant  with  the  Lord,  but  haveing  lately  seen  a  booke  writt 
by  Mr.  Ileywood  *,  I  have  purposed,  by  the  assistance  of  the 
itoly  Spirit  of  God,  to  renew  my  personal  covenant  with  God 
again  in  a  more  solemn  and  large  manner,  and  to  put  it  in 
writing  under  my  own  hand  for  the  better  preservation  of  the 
memory  of  it,  and  the  stronger  obligation  of  myselfe  to  keep  it, 
which  1  humbly  begg  of  God,  for  Christ's  sake,  to  enable  me  to 
doe.     Amen.     Amen. 

I  do  here  take  God  the  Father  for  my  supreme  and  finall 
happiness  and  for  the  onely  portion  of  my  soul ;  as  Thou  art,  O 
liord,  the  first  cause,  soe  I  desire  sincerely  to  make  Thee  my 
last  end ;  as  Thy  glory  is  the  end  of  my  being,  soe  I  doe  now 
make  it  the  end  of  my  acting,  and  doe  fully  resolve  (by  Thy 
grace  and  assistance)  tnat  Thy  glory  shall  be  the  real  design  of 
all  the  actions  of  my  whole  life.  I  will  be  for  God  and  not  for 
any  other ;  but,  Lord,  I  am  a  vile  sinner,  and  Thou  art  a  God 
of  infinite  purity  and  holiness,  and  art  a  consimiing  fire  unto 
sin ;  and,  therefore,  there  is  noe  approaching  to  the  Lord  but 
only  in  the  way  of  a  Mediator,  and  God  the  Son,  the  second 
person  of  the  ever-blessed  Trinity,  hath  taken  upon  Him  humane 
nature,  and  is  the  onely  Mediator  between  God  and  sinners, 
being  both  God  and  man  in  one  person.  I  do  here,  therefore, 
take  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  in  all  llis  offices. 

1.  As  my  Lord  and  King,  to  rule  and  goveme  me  in  every 
thing,  and  not  onely  to  protect  me,  but  to  subdue  me  entirely 
to  ifimsolfe ;  and,  in  His  strength,  I  humbly  resolve  to  obey 
His  A^all  in  every  thing,  for  I  know  it  is  righteous,  holy,  and  good 
in  every  doehiration  of  it. 

2.  As  my  IVophot,  to  teach  and  instruct  me  in  all  the  ways 
of  truth  and  holiness  by  Ilis  word  and  Spirit,  and,  in  His 
strength,  I  humbly  resolve  to  learn  all  His  teaching.  I  humbly 
Ix^g  of  God  to  make  me  a  teachable  and  a  spiritually-teached 
creature. 

3.  As  my  Great  High  Priest  to  satisfye  the  justice  of  God  for 
me,  by  the  sacrifice  of  Himself,  and,  thereby,  to  reconcile  Qt)d 
to  me  and  me  to  God,  and  to  intercede  for  me  with  God  in  the 
vertuo  of  His  oblation;  and  I  humbly  rest  and  relye  upon  His 

•merits  and  satisfaction  for  pardon,  acceptance  and  salvation,  and 
I  desire  that  lie  alone  may  have  the  whole  glory  of  my  radva- 
lion. 

1  hire  liuinbly  take  God  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  third  person  of 
the  evor-blessed  Trinity,  for  my  sanctiher  and  preserver,  and  to

readily  and  permanently,  for  the  chiefest  good  which  I  am 
capable  of. 

I  here  give  up  all  my  affections  unto  my  God  to  be  put  into 
their  due  order  to  love  and  delight  in  Ilim  above  all,  to  feare 
Him  with  a  childlike  awe  and  reverence;  to  hate  what  (Jod 
hates,  and  to  be  angry  with  every  thing  that  displeases  Him. 
I  resolve  to  fix  my  hope  on  Him  and  my  chief  joy  shall  be  in 
Him.  I  humbly  pray  that  all  my  affections  may  be  fixed  upon 
their  right  objects  and  kept  within  their  proper  bounds. 

I  here  give  up  my  conscience  to  my  God  (Who  is  the  only 
rightfull  Lord  of  it).  Oh,  my  God,  I  here  subject  it  to  Thy 
authority  in  every  thing :  I^rd,  purifye  it  and  keep  it  tender, 
but  deliver  me  from  all  the  weakness  and  viciousness  to  which 
it  is  liable. 

I,  also,  give  up  my  memory  to  Thee,  O  Lord,  to  be  a  jMper- 
tory  and  storehouse  of  Hpiritual  and  divine  things :  On,  my 
Lord,  strengthen  it  for  Thy  service  and  purge  it  from  all  vain 
and  foolish  frothy  things,  that  bemean  it  before  the  Lord,  that 
it  hath  been  like  a  sieve,  very  apt  to  retaine  trash,  chaff  and 
rubbish,  and  to  let  the  usefull  and  good  com  slip  through. 

I  here,  likewise,  give  up  my  imagination  and  fancy  to  the 
Lord  to  be  imployod  in  receiving  the  ideas  and  impressions  of 
holy  and  heavenly  things :  Oh  Ijord,  purge  it  from  all  impure 
ideas  and  impressions,  and  inable  me  to  reject  all  filthy  and 
vain  imaginations  with  the  greatest  scorn  and  indignation,  and 
not  to  give  the  least  place  or  entertainment  to  any  infections  of 
that  kind. 

Lord,  1  doe  now  give  up  all  the  members  of  my  body  to  be 
weapons  of  righteousness  unto  holiness,  my  tongue  to  speak 
Thy  praise,  my  hands  and  feet  to  act  for  God  my  Lord,  ana  my 
eyes  to  behold  Thy  works  and  to  be  turned  away  from  beholding 
vanity. 

Oil  Lord,  I  here  give  up  all  my  relations  imto  Thoe,  and 
myself  in  every  relation :  Lord,  I  give  up  my  wife,  my  fkmily 
and  my  servants  unto  Thee  to  be  wholly  Thine ;  Lord,  make 
every  member  of  my  family  a  living  spirituall  fruit-bearing 
member  of  that  mystical  body  whereof  my  Lord  Jesus  is  the 
tnie  and  spiritual  head. 

Lord,  Thou  hast  in  Thy  wise  providence  (and  upon  my 
humble  seeking  for  Thy  direction  in  it)  made  me  a  husband 
of  a  most  loving  and  justly  beloved  wife  (I  heartily  bless  Thee 
for  her).  I  resolve  to  love  her  with  an  entire  affection  in  Thee 
and  lor  Thee ;  I  will  doe  what  I  can  to  promote  her  spirituall 
and  eteniall  welfare,  and  I  will  cherish  her  in  all  conditions, 
and  provide  for  her  as  well  as  I  can.     Lord,  pardon  aU  my  fail-

MR.   JUSTICE   ROKEBT.  31 

This  30th  day  of  March  1689  I  have  received  the  preceeding 
covenant  and  dedication  of  myself  unto  my  God,  and  I  doe 
now  humbly  and  heartily  renew  the  same.  Oh  Lord,  I  most 
earnestly  begg  of  Thee  for  the  sake  of  my  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  to 
pardon  all  my  imsteadiness  in  my  covenant  with  Thee,  and  all 
my  backslidings  from  Thee,  and  give  me  strength  and  power 
from  on  high  to  walk  more  stedfastly,  faithfully,  and  vigorously 
with  Thee,  for  all  the  remaining  part  of  my  short  and  mdl  life. 
Amen.    Amen.  Thos.  Rokeby. 

April  14,  89.  I  have  received  intimations  from  good  hands* 
that  there  is  a  probability  that  I  shall  by  publicke  authority  be 
called  to  a  place  of  eminent  and  publick  magistracy.  Oh  Lord, 
Thou  knowcst  my  great  infirmity  and  exceeding  unfitness  in 
many  respects  to  be  in  such  a  station,  and  the  consideration  of 
these  things  hath  occasioned  many  anxious  thoughts  in  my 
mind.  I  hope,  0  Lord,  I  can  truly  say  that  the  greatest  cause 
of  my  trouble  about  this  affair  is,  least  through  any  weakness  or 
unfitness  of  mine  to  fill  up  such  a  station.  Thy  glory  shoidd  in 
any  respect  be  eclipsed,  or  the  publicke  justice  and  good  of  this 
kingdom  should  take  detriment,  or  the  religion  I  profess  shoidd 

*  Among  the  friends  who  named  Mr.  Rokebj  to  the  king  for  thii  uipointmait 
we  may  safely  place  Lord  Wharton.  There  were  many  other  gentlemen  of  diitinction 
in  the  North  who  would  endorse  his  recommendation.  Among  Judge  Rokabr't 
papers  there  is  a  letter  from  his  cousin  White,  of  Carburton,  Co.  Notts,  annoanang 
his  appointment.  He  was  an  ancestor  of  the  fismilj  of  White  of  WallingweUa.  The 
letter  runs  as  follows : — 

«  April  ISth  1880. 
'*  Deare  Ootin, — What  I  formerly  hinted  (tho*  it  has  proYed  more  teadioot  then  I 
could  have  apprehended)  is  now  compleated,  and  yesterday  you  was  chosen  hy  his 
Mati«  one  of  bis  Judges  for  the  Common  Pleas,  and  I  shall  now  give  you  a  catalogiie 
of  the  persons  elected  to  fill  the  severall  benches. — The  choyoe  is  to  the  great  satia- 
faction  of  all  good  men.  I  presume  you  will  have  some  further  account  hereof  from 
other  hands,  but  this  which  I  tell  you,  you  may  depend  upon  for  a  great  trvth.  Pkay, 
therefore,  prepare  yourselfe  and  your  affaires  for  your  speedy  attendance  upon  this 
service,  to  which  you  are  now  called  by  God,  your  king  and  your  country,  and  tiisre- 
fore  not  to  be  withstood.  If  I  can  doe  you  any  service  here  before  your  coming  to 
Towne,  you  may  be  confident  I  will  doe  it  with  all  the  seal  and  kindnesse  imaginaSile. 
Pray  make  no  excuses  now,  for  there  vriU  be  no  room  far  them,  and  I,  amongst 
others,  have  undertaken  for  your  acceptance  of  the  imploy,  and  I  pray  God  give  yon 
strength  of  body  to  performe  it.  Your  three  partners  are  without  ezcepdon  for 
integrity  as  well  as  law,  which  must  be  a  great  encouragment  to  you.  And  tlds 
I  have  further  to  add  that  all  the  commissioos  run  fem  litii  bemt  se  get»tnmi.  And 
now  T  shall  greatly  long  to  see  you  and  hope  you  will  let  me  know  the  very  day  I  may 
expert  you  here.  But  I  shall,  I  believe,  trouble  you  once  againe  (if  not  oftner)  before 
you  leave  York.  My  services  to  yourselfo  and  my  good  cosin  your  lady,  not  forgetting

some  support  which  kept  me  from  wholly  sinking  under  the 
burden  of  my  o^vn  troubled  thoughts.  Oh  for  ever  blessed  be 
the  Lord  for  this  mercy  and  lovmg-kindness  thus  manifested 
unto  mc. 

I  found,  also,  that  in  reading  the  Holy  Scriptures  God  did 
often  pitch  me  upon  supporting  scriptures,  and  dart  in  sup- 

t)ortin^  considerations  into  my  mind,  which  were  exceedingly 
lelpfull  to  mo  (and  I  hope  spiritually  advantagious)  in  this 
troubled  condition.  "Bless  the  Lord,  Oh  my  soul,  and  all  that  is 
within  me  bless  His  liolv  name.  Bless  the  Lord,  Oh  my  soul, 
and  forgot  not  any  of  all  His  benefits.  Bless  the  Lord,  Oh  my 
soul,  Who  hath  thus  far  crowned  thee  with  loving-kindness  and 
tender  morcy."     May  14.  89. 

Upon  Monday  the  15th  day  of  April,  1689,  I  received  by  the 
|X)st  a  letter  from  y*  Lord  Com'.  Kawlinson*  acquainting  me 
that  the  king  liad  named  me  to  a  Judge  of  the  Com.  Pleas,  and 
requiring  me  to  hasten  up  to  London  for  that  purpose,  and, 
accordingly,  I  boguu  my  journey  towards  London  upon  Monday 
the  22  April,  and  came  safe  tq  London  (blessed  be  God)  upon 
Saturday  tho  27  April,  89. 

Upon  the  4th  of  May,  89,  I  was  compleated  a  serjeant  at 
law,  and  upon  the  8th  of  May  89,  I  was  made  a  Judge  of  tho 
Com.  Ploas  f.  I  QSiie  in  court  upon  the  10th  and  llth  days  of 
May,  and  sate  soe  long  both  dayes,  without  any  support  for  my 
armes  and  back,  that  it  was  very  wearisome  to  me,  and  made  me 

*  Narcissus  Luttrel  in  bis  diary,  i.  529,  says  that  Rokeby  and  fifteen  otberi  ap. 
peartnl  at  the  C^hanoery  bar  on  the  2d  of  May  and  took  the  oaths  as  Serjeants.  On 
the  4th  they  were  in  Gray's  Inn  Hall  and  were  counted,  and  a^cain  at  We8tln^  Tbey 
gave  Tin^H  bearing  in  tho  motto  a  »pectal  allusion  to  the  advent  of  the  Prince  oif 
Orange,  Veniendo  restiiuii  rem,  substituting  veniendo  for  eunctando  which  won  for 
Fabius  his  victories  and  his  glory.  The  ceremony  ended  with  a  dinner  at  Serjeant's 
Inn  to  the  nobility  and  judges. 

t  The  patent  rnaking  Mr.  Rokeby  a  Judge  was  dated  on  the  8th  of  May.  <*  The 
same  8th  day  of  May,  in  y«  afternoon,  Just.  Rokeby  tooke  y*  oath  of  a  judge  before

MR.  JUSTICE    ROKEBY.  35 

humbly  bogg  of  Thee  that  Thou  wilt  give  me  such  spirituall 
witjdom,  prudence,  courage,  presence  of  mind,  strength  of  atten- 
tion and  memory  and  all  otner  qualifications,  as  thereby  I  may 
be  inabled  to  glorifye  Thy  holy  name  and  serve  Thee  publickly, 
faithfully,  justly  and  understandingly  in  a  publicke,  busy,  noisy 
and  troublesome  station,  and  that  1  may  not  be  cumbred  about 
many  things  but  may  duly  mind  the  one  thing  necessary. 
Amen. 

May  17,  1689.  I  being  now  placed  as  one  of  the  Judges  of 
England,  which  is  a  great  trust,  and  requires  much  greater 
strength  and  abilitys  both  of  mind  and  body  than  I  can  find  in 
myselfe. 

1.  I  doe  in  the  first  place  humbly  implore  the  special  influ- 
ence, supplys  and  assistance  of  Divine  grace  to  enable  me  in 
every  respect  duly  to  performe  every  duty  required  of  me. 

2.  Next,  I  desire  seriously  to  fix  my  mind  upon  Jehosaphat's 
instructions  to  his  judges  in  the  2nd  of  Chron.,  xix.  chap.  6  and 
7  verses,  and  to  looke  upon  those  words  as  the  voice  of  God  to 
myselfe,  and  to  take  great  heed,  (that  caution  being  twice 
repeated)  for  I  am  not  to  judge  for  man  but  for  the  Lord,  Who 
is  with  me  in  the  judgement.  I  also  propound  to  myselfe  the 
rules  which  S^  Matth.  Hale  proposed  to  himselfe  att  ms  under- 
taking the  iniployraent  of  a  Judge,  as  they  are  sett  down  in  his 
life  written  by  I)^  Burnett  pa.  57,  58,  and  the  good  Lord 
strcngtlu'ii  and  iiiable  me  to  observe  them  and  all  other  rules  of 
my  duty  towards  God  and  man,  both  in  my  present  station,  and 
in  ev(Ty  other  station  or  condition  I  shall  be  brought  into,  and 
in  every  aliair  in  which  I  shall  be  engaged. 

I  looke  uj)on  the  cause  wherein  King  William  and  Q"*.  Mary 
and  tlie  l^arliament  of  England  are  now  in  gaged  to  be  the  cause 
of  God  and  Christ  against  Satan  and  Antichrist ;  and  I  look 
ujK)n  the  W(mderfull  series  of  providences  by  which  this  matter 
liath  been  hitherto  carried  on,  to  be  the  eminent  voice  and 
finger  of  (lod,  and  which  I  hope  and  believe  God  will  carry  on 
to  a  conipleat  measure :  and  I  look  upon  myself  as  insaffed  in 
tliat  cause  by  a  call  from  God  to  be  one  of  the  12  Judges  of 
Ijijj^land,  and  I  looke  upon  it  as  my  duty  not  only  to  own  that 
cause,  hut  also  in  my  place  and  station  to  own,  practice, 
promote,  incourage  personall  and  family  piety  and  nolineas 
in  the  most  real  and  serious  manner  of  the  exercise  of  them.  I 
foarc  I  have  been  formerly  too  apt  to  be  ashamed  of  these 
things  for  fear  of  man's  reproach,  and  too  unwilling  to  own 
or  justify  tlum.  Oh  I>ord,  my  Heavenlv  Father,  I  beseech 
Tliec  for  iiiy  Lord  Jesus  Christ's  sake,  that  ^hou  wilt  pardon  all 
mv  guilt  herein,  and  that  Thou  wilt  give  me  a  holy  courage

to  him,  and,  in  the  11  Ileb.,  8,  it  is  said  that  by  faith  he  obeyed 
and  went  out  not  knowing  whether  he  went ;  and  shall  I  now 
disobey  when  my  call  is  much  easier,  being  to  a  place  I  have 
some  knowledge  of?  the  good  Lord  inable  me  to  exercise  faith 
vigorously  in  my  obedience  to  this  call  of  my  gracious  God. 

It  appears,  Gen.  xiii'**,  2  and  6^**  verses,  that  Abraham  was 
very  rich  in  cattle  (as  well  as  gold  and  silver)  and.  Acts  vii.  5, 
God  gave  him  no  land,  noe  not  so  much  as  to  set  his  foot  on,  in 
that  country  whether  he  was  to  goe,  and  yet  he  took  his  herds 
with  him,  which  I  note  as  a  great  proofe  of  his  faith,  beUevinff 
that  God  would  provide  for  them.  Reason  might  have  objected 
on  Abraham's  part,  what  shall  I  doe  with  my  cattle  if  I  go  into 
a  countrj^  where  I  shall  not  have  a  foot  of  land  P  but  Abraham 
makes  no  such  objection,  but  goes  att  God's  command  and  leaves 
himselfe  and  his  flocke  at  God's  disposal.  The  good  Lord  helpe 
me  by  faithe  to  leave  myselfe  and  my  all  att  God's  disposall, 
that  I  have  not  any  place  for  my  habitation  in  the  place  to 
which  I  am  called. 

4**'  It  was  God  who  gave  me  that  habitation,  reputation,  ease, 
and  friends,  and  made  them  convenient  and  delightfull  to  mo, 
but  still  lie  reserved  Ilis  own  right  both  in  them  and  me,  and 
if  I  sliould  be  unwilling  that  He  should  dispose  of  them  and  mo 
according  to  Ilis  right.  He  could  and  might  justly  make  them 
to  be  a  trouble  and  vexation  to  me,  more  than  any  of  the  things 
He  calls  me  to. 

I  desire  heartily,  0  Lord,  to  believe  that  what  Thou  dost  is 
best ;  Lord,  overcome  my  unbeliefe.  God  who  made  that 
habitation  and  condition  comfortable  to  me,  and  gave  me  there 
those  friends  and  conveniencys,  and  that  reputation  which  I 
had  there,  can  doe  the  same  for  me  here ;  and,  if  it  be  for  His 
glory.  He  will  do  it ;  and  if  it  be  not  for  His  glory  I  ought  not 
to  desire  it,  nor  will  I  desire  it,  but  onely  with  reference  to 
His  glory. 

5"'  God  can  (and  I  hope  through  His  grace  He  will)  preserve 
me,  and  use  me  as  well  in  a  croud  ana  toile  as  in  ease  and 
retirement:  and  tho'  a  croud  and  toile  are  the  least  agreeable 
to  tlie  wayes  and  actings  I  have  accustomed  myselfe  to  for 
many  yeares,  yet  they  are  not  sinfull,  and  God  may  have  as 
much  honor  by  me  in  them  as  in  solitude :  and  if  they  were  not 
some  way  cross  to  my  own  inclinations  it  were  noe  selfe  denyall 
to  follow  God  in  those  ways:  and  is  it  fitt  that  I  should  prescribe 
unto  God  the  way  in  which  He  shall  use  me  and  my  ser>'ice? 
it  is  not  at  all  titt. 

The  good  Lord  for  ever  silence  all  these  objections  by  the 
mighty  prevailing  power  of  His  Holy  Spirit;  and,  gnmt,  that

mc,  lying  lurking  and  undiscovered  in  my  soul,  the  good  Lord 
pluck  them  up  and  purge  me  from  them. 

2.  My  fears  that  I  may  fall  into  any  reproachfull  thing  by 
reason  of  my  intellectual  or  bodily  weakness  probably  arises 
from  pride,  and  an  unwillingness  to  be  derided  and  scorned. 

Oh  Lord,  humble  my  proud  heart  and  make  me  r«dly 
willing  to  endure  scorn  and  derision,  so  that  God  may  be  really 
glorifyed  by  me  in  every  thing  I  doe. 

May  27,  89.  The  proper  and  usefull  actings  of  faith  by  a 
person  in  ray  condition  are  to  be  exercised  against  natural 
probabilities,  vea  and  seeming  impossibilities.  Abraham  the 
father  of  the  faithfull  did  soe,  4  llom.  18,  19,  20,  21,  in  the 
case  of  his  having  a  son,  which  (considering  his  and  his  wife's 
naturall  circumstance)  was  against  all  naturall  probability:  Ileb. 
xi.  17,  18,  19,  in  the  case  of  his  offering  up  his  only  begotten 
son  he  believed  against  a  seeming  improbability,  for  if  his  son 
had  then  been  slain,  it  had  been  naturally  impossible  that  in 
his  posterity  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  should  oe  blessed. 

I  am  under  great  naturall  improbabilitys  of  duly  discharging 
my  duty  in  every  respect,  but,  in  regard  I  am  called  to  it  by 
God,  I  will  trust  and  hope  and  relye  upon  God's  soveraignty, 
power,  wisdom,  faithfulness,  goodness  and  mercy,  to  His  poor 
servant  (of  which  I  have  had  great  experience)  against  my 
own  infirmities  of  all  sorts,  and  against  all  natunul  impro- 
babilitys, and  desire  to  believe  that  my  gracious  God  Who  hath 
hitherto  assisted  me  against  these,  can  and  will  still  assist  me 
against  them  in  my  further  progress  in  the  duty  I  am  called  to. 
1  am  sure  God  hath  done  me  good  all  my  days,  and  even  in  thia

Vigorously  impressed  upon  my  mind,  "  they  that  wait  upon  the 
liord  shall  renew  their  strength ;  they  shall  mount  up  with 
wings  as  eagles ;  they  shall  run  and  not  be  weary ;  they  shall 
walk  and  not  be  faint." 

Oh  Lord,  I  desire  to  set  up  this  as  a  monument  of  Thy  mercy 
and  kindness  to  me,  and  upon  this  good  word  of  Thine  to  fix 
my  soul. 

Oh  Lord,  teach  me  what  I  may  doe  for  Thy  glory  in  my 
station  in  reference  to  Thy  poor  people  who  cannot  come  up 
to  a  compliance  to  humane  lawes  in  the  matter  of  Divine  wor- 
ship, and  let  me  not  be  afraid  or  ashamed  to  own  or  encourage ' 
those,  Tliy  little  flocke,  however  they  may  bo  dispised  by  men, 
or  I  may  be  dispised  for  owning  them.  I  have  had  this 
thought  comeing  into  my  mind,  that*  God's  continuing  me 
under,  and  rather  increasing,  my  bodily  infirmitys  (in  all  which 
I  humbly  adore  His  holy,  wise,  just  and  gracious  providence),  is 
to  me  an  argument  that  it  is  His  will  that  I  should  leave  this 
publicke  station  and  retire  again  into  a  private  one.  I  humbly 
acknowledge  the  darkness  and  blindness  of  my  own  mind,  and 
doe  most  humbly  begg  of  Thee,  Oh  Lord,  for  Christ's  sake,  my 
blessed  Redeemer,  to  shine  into  my  darke  mind  by  Thy  blessed 
Spirit,  and  to  shew  to  me  the  way  I  should  goe,  and  the  thing 
I  should  doe  in  this  perplexed  passage  of  my  life ;  Holy  Father, 
I  would  doe  what  Thou  wouldst  have  me  to  doe  and  be  what 
Thou  wouldst  have  me  to  be.  I  am  sure  Thou  art  the  un- 
changeable God,  and  Thy  purposes  alter  not,  but  there  are 
great  changes  in  my  circumstances  and  condition,  and  I  would 
know  how  1  may  chearfully  obey  Thy  holy  will  in  them  all. 
Lord,  direct  me  to  doe  soe  with  a  holy  complacency  in  Thy 
blessed  will  in  every  thing  Thou  reijuires  of  me.* 

The  thoughts  of  my  going  the  circuit  was  a  great  trouble  to 
me,  considering  my  particular  personal  weiuLnesses  which 
render  ine  very  unfitt  both  for  the  joumejring  and  the  other 
toiles  of  a  circuit :  notwithstanding  this,  I  had  determined  in 
my  ovm  purposes  to  tn'  what  I  was  able  to  doe  in  it,  and  should 
have  set  forward  on  Monday  the  8'**  of  July,  but  upon  Fridav 
morning  the  5^^  of  July,  I  nad  notice  that  it  was  the  king  8 
pleasure  that  I  should  not  go  the  circuit  f  but  should  stay  in 
Town.  This  matter  was  wholly  without  my  seeing  the  king 
and  imexpected  to  me,  but  it  is  a  ereat  ease  to  my  very  weak 
body.  I  doe  most  heartily  bless  God  for  this  ^^racious  providence 
to  ine,  in  which  His  finger  is  exceeding  evident  to  me,  and  I

MR.    JUSTICE    ROKEBY.  43 

same  gracious  hand  of  Providence  brought  mo  up  to  London 
again  in  a  very  comfortable  manner,  the  !■'  of  October,  89. 

Jlowever  these  things  may  seem  toothers  onely  as  the  actings 
of  common  providence,  and  they  may  take  little  notice  of  them, 
yet  I  desire  to^  looke  upon  them  as  a  gracious  return  of  prayer, 
and  as  bestowed  upon  me  in  a  way  of  covenant,  love  and  mercy, 
and  I  desire  to  make  use  of  these  to  helpe  and  raise  up  my 
heart,  in  thankfull  obedience,  to  my  Qod,  and  to  be  arguments 
to  mo  still  to  trust  in  and  intirely  depend  on  my  gracious 
I'uther,  Who  hath  dealt  thus  mercifully  with  me  in  these  out- 
ward concernments.  Lord,  raise  up  my  heart  to  heavenly 
things. 

From  my  first  comeing  into  my  publicke  station  I  was  really, 
and  ex  animo,  very  averse  from  receiving  the  honor  of  knight- 
hood, for  I  apprehended  that  if  I  should  be  out  of  my  station 
again  tliis  honor  would  put  me  into  an  higher  way  of  living 
(suitable  to  that  degree)  than  my  small  estate  could  conveniently 
bear,  and  it  would  be  a  very  imeasy  thing  to  me  to  have  an 
honor  upon  me  of  which  I  could  not  support  the  dignity  as  it 
ought  with  sober  decency  to  be  supported. 

liut  I  did  a  little  after  the  beginning  of  Mich.  Term  receive 
a  command  by  my  L^  Ch.  Just.  Holt  to  wait  upon  the  King  on 
Thursday  the  Slst  of  Oct.  1689,  which  I  did  together  with  4 
other  Judges,  and  5  of  the  king's  Serjeants  and  the  solicitor- 
generall,  and  we  all  received  the  nonor  of  knighthood  and  kiss'd 
tlie  king's  hand,  and  then  went  to  the  queen's  apartment  and 
kissed  her  hand. 

1  would  really  have  avoided  this,  if  I  could  have  done  it  with 
any  de<^ency  and  dutiful!  respect  to  the  king. 

liut  in  regard  I  have  such  an  honour  confer'd  upon  me  with- 
out any  ambitious  desire  or  design  of  mine,  (as  1  hope  1  can 
truly  siiy)  I  would  make  some  good  use  of  it,  as  far  as  I  am  able. 
I  think,  therefore,  that  it  is  my  duty  to  make  this  an  argument 
to  stirr  up  and  ingage  myselfe  to  doe  more  service  for  God  in 
the  world,  and  to  strive  more  earnestly  to  honor  Qod  because 
Jie  liuth  honoured  me.  My  obligation  to  God,  I  am  sure,  is 
lieightened  by  His  providentiall  conferring  this  honour,  (for  I 
desire  truly  to  see  His  hand  in  it)  and  it  may  be  my  example 
in  walking  circumspectly  in  the  wayes  of  truth  and  holiness 
may  liiive  a  greater  influence  upon  others  to  lead  and  incourage 
thi'iii  in  those  ways  tlian  it  woiud  have  had  if  I  had  not  received 
tliis  honor  *.     The  good  Lord  teach  me  and  inable  me  to  know

weakness  and  unfitness  both  for  the  business  and  the  journeys 
of  a  circuit. 

But  I  speak  it  and  write  it  to  the  praise  and  glory  of  the 
rich  grace  and  mercy  of  my  most  CTacious  God  and  heavenly 
Father  in  my  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  I  foimd  from  Him  sup- 
port, strength,  incouragement,  both  in  respect  of  the  business 
and  of  the  journeys,  much  beyond  my  fears  and  troubled 
thoughts,  and  I  hope  through  the  free  grace  of  my  good  and 
gracious  God,  that  I  am  much  better  by  this  journey.  I  heartily 
desire  to  be  sincerely  thankfull  to  God  for  it  both  in  my  heart 
and  in  my  life,  and  from  hence  to  draw  further  arguments  and 
incouragements  for  a  more  full,  intire,  chearfull  and  ready  trust 
in  God  and  dependance  upon  Ilim  in  every  thing.  God  is 
pleased  very  graciously  to  condescend  to  bear  me  up  under  my 
many  and  great  infirmities  and  weaknesses;  blessed,  for  ever 
blessed,  Ix^  His  holy  name.     Amen.     Amen.       13  Mardh,  89. 

The  preceding  covenant,  resignation  and  acceptation  was  re- 
ceived and  renewed  Jan.  10,  1690,  with  humble  imploring  of 
pardon  for  my  failings  in  my  observance  of  it  hitherto,  and 
humble  supplications  to  my  God  through  Jesus  Christ,  for  power 
and  strength  to  walke  more  accurately  according  to  it  for  the 
future. 

l^lay  21''^  00.  Though  I  have  much  darkness  and  weakness 
still  upon  my  own  mind  (which  I  begg  of  God  graciously  to 
pity  and  pardon)  and  many  troubled  thoughts  often  perplexing 
me,  yet  upon  the  re>4ew  of  a  year  and  more  that  I  have  been  in 
tliis  station,  I  have  most  abundant  reason  to  bless  and  praise  my 
God  for  His  infinite  mercy  and  goodness  to  me,  and  to  declare 
(which  I  here  doe  with  my  whole  heart  and  unfeignedly,  I  hope) 
that  God  is  good  and  hatn  done  me  good  all  my  days,  and  espe- 
cially and  particularly  since  I  came  mto  this  station ;  and  hath 
been  better  to  me  than  my  fear,  and  prevented  many  troubles 
which  1  was  apprehensive  of.  I  set  up  this  further  monument 
of  God's  continuing  mercy  to  me,  and  in  His  strength  I  hum- 
bly resolve  to  trust  wholly  in  Him,  and  really  to  resign  and 
commit t  my  all  to  Him.  The  good  Lord  inable  me  to  doe  soe 
sincerely,  unreservedly,  perseveringly.     Amen.     Amen. 

July  '30,  1G90.  I  have  still  fresh  and  new  occasions  of  praise 
and  thanksgiving  to  my  gracious  God,  both  for  publicke  and 
private  mercys.  I  now  bless  His  holy  name  for  His  still  con- 
tinuing abundant  care  and  kindness,  mercy  and  goodness  to  me 
in  all  my  concerns  and  affairs. 

He  preserves  me  and  my  family  in  health. 

He  ])rovides  for  me  that  I  am  not  in  want.

perplexing  and  anxious  thoughts.  1.  About  the  publicke  affiiirs 
of  the  kingdom.  2.  About  my  present  station  and  concern  in 
reference  to  publicke  afiaires.  3.  About  my  own  more  par- 
ticular affaires  in  reference  to  my  mind,  body,  estate,  reputation 
and  habitation ;  and  upon  ray  most  serious  reflection  and  con- 
sideration of  all  these  things  I  doe  here  set  it  down  to  the 
praise  of  the  glorj'  of  the  grace  and  mercy  of  my  gracious  and 
holy  God  and  Father,  that  I  have  upon  my  own  experience 
found  that  God  hath  been  and  still  is  infinitely  good  to  me,  and 
hath  in  every  thing  dealt  with  me  as  a  most  tender  and  com- 
passionate Father  ;  tho'  I  doe  humbly  acknowledge  that  I  have 
been  a  most  froward,  pettish  and  peevish  child  (yet  I  hope 
through  free  grace  a  reall  child).  Holy  Father,  forgive  I  pray 
Thee,  Thy  poor  weak  child. 

The  publicke  affaires  both  in  England,  Scotland  and  Ireland, 
God  hath  graciously  carried  on  and  prospered,  notwithstanding 
our  great  unthankfulness  for,  and  unfruitfulness  under,  received 
mercies,  and  notwithstanding  the  great  impiety  of  many  of 
those  instruments  wliich  have  been  imployed  in  many  of  these 
affaires.  God  can  use  what  instruments  He  pleases  in  the  doing 
of  His  work,  but  I  think  those  in  power  snould  chnso  as  good 
instruments  as  they  can  for  God's  worke ;  but  by  whatever  in- 
struments God  is  pleased  to  carry  on  His  own  work,  we  ought 
to  give  Ilim  the  praise  and  glory  of  carrjang  on  His  own  work. 

It  was  the  evident  and  immediate  finger  of  our  gracious  God 
which  saved  our  fleet  the  last  summer  from  being  burnt  by  the 
French  who  had  laid  the  design  and  were  within  a  very  little 
off  eflocting  it ;  and  God,  on  a  sudden,  turned  about  the  wind 
bv  which  they  were  wholly  prevented  in  that  design*.  Gtod^ 
also,  presently  after,  wonderfully  saved  a  very  ffreat  number  of 
merchant-ships  att  Pl\Tnouth  when  the  Frencn  had  the  com- 
mand of  the  sea. 

There  are  many  unquiet  and  restless  people  who  make  it 
their  business  to  mstill  into  the  minds  of  the  people  diacon- 
tents,  murmurings,  and  dissatisfactions  against  the  govern- 
ment t ;  but  God  soe  nJes  the  spirits  of  the  generality  of  the 

*  An  allusion  to  the  action  off  Beachy-head  on  the  SOth  of  June  between  the 
Anglo- Dutch  and  French  Fleets.  The  English  and  their  allies,  ander  Lord  Torring- 
ton,  were  considerably  over.matched,  and  were  in  great  dangvr.  A  calm  intermpted 
the  entragement,  and  the  English  ships  sailed  away  during  the  night  Jamea  II.  had 
something  to  do  with  the  design  for  homing  the  English  transports.  The  French 
were  for  a  short  time  in  possession  of  a  portion  of  the  coast  of  Deronshire,  and 
destroyed  the  little  town  of  Teignmoath. 

t  The  Jacobites  were  at  this  time  very  active.  Lord  Preston,  and  one  or  two 
others,  had  recently  been  seixed  on  their  way  to  France,  and  whilst  King  WiUiaoi 
was  in  Ireland  many  of  the  nobility  and  gentry  were  arrested.

The  providence  of  God,  also,  led  me  to  fix  my  thoughts  upon 
the  41*'  of  Isaiah,  and  from  thence,  also,  my  thoughts  suggested 
incouragement  to  me,  as  if  our  King  were  a  right-eous  man  raised

Sep*  20,  91*.     I   haveing  gone   the  Western   circuit  this 

*  Soon  after  this  a  cbani^e  took  place  on  the  Bench  which  made  Mr.  Justice 
Rokeby  the  junior  judge.     He  thus  describes  the  circumstances : — 

*'  Mem.  3()  Oct.,  91.  Just.  Powell,  mysclfe  and  Mr.  Prothonotarj  Cooke,  attended 
y<^  Lords  Com"  of  yc  Great  Scale  att  Powys  bouse  about  6  of  y«  clock  in  y«  evening, 
and  there  my  bro.  Nevilc  actually  surrendred  his  patent  of  Baron  of  y«  Exchequer 

unto a  M'  in  Chancery,  to  be  cancelled,  and  then  his  patent  for  a  Justice  of  the 

Com.  Pleas  was  sealed,  and  then  be  took  y«  oaths  to  j^  K.  and  Q.  upon  his  knees, 
and  then  yc  oath  of  a  Judge  standing,  and  then  y*  L^  ComrTn-Tor  delivered  him  hit 
patent,  and  y«  L''  Com^  directed  y«  M'  to  make  a  memorandum  in  Latine  under  j* 
I)atent  (in  y^  place  where  y^  acknowledgments  of  deeds  ar  made)  of  this  surrender,  and 
tlien  to  deliver  it  to  y«  clerk  of  the  Rolls  to  cancel)  j*  patent  and  make  an  entre  of  it. 
There  was  a  writeing  of  surrender  prepared  but  noe  use  was  made  of  it.  After 
this,  some  doubt  was  raised  whether  he  ought  to  retaine  y*  nme  seniority  in  our' 
court  which  he  had  among  y^  judges  before,  for  if  he  did  then  he  must  remove  both 
my  bro.  Powell  and  myselfe  from  our  cushions,  he  being  senior  Judge  to  as  both. 
For  my  bro.  Neyile's  precedency  was  cited  the  caae  of  Baron  Rainsford's  being 
removed  into  y«  King's  Bench  out  of  y«  Exchequer  into  j*  place  of  Just.  Wadham 
Winilham  and  his  having  precedency  of  Just.  Morton,  and,  also,  the  case  of  Baron 
IIu.  Windliam  removed  out  of  y«  Exchequer  into  y«  Com.  Pleas  upon  the  death  of 
Just.  Terrill,  and  had  precedency  before  Just.  Atkins.  My  bro.  Powell  and  I  agreed 
both  tht>««  cases  because  y«  removed  Judges  came  into  y«  places  of  those  who  were 
seniors  to  y^  Judges  of  whom  they  had  prcct>dency,  and  did  not  remove  them  from  their 
cushions  which  they  had  befons  but  if  my  bro.  Nevilc  should  have  precedency  before 
us,  he  would  remove  us  both  from  our  cushions,  w<^^  was  never  known  to  be  done 
before ;  and  we  had  a  precedent  for  us  in  point,  in  liich.  Terme  4^  K.  Jac  2,  when 
Baron  Jennor  was  removed  out  of  y*^  Exchequer  into  y«  Com.  Pleas,  tho'  he  was  the 
senior  Judge  to  Just.  Lutwich,  yet  he  sate  below  Just.  Lutwich  in  y*  Com.  Pleas. 
Tliis  matter  was  by  consent  of  us  three  who  were  concerned  referred  to  yc  determina- 
tion of  y«  rest  of  y«  Judges,  and  on  Wednesday  j*  4^^  of  Nov^^  1691  in  y«  aftemooo, 
att  my  lA  C^  Just.  Holt's  chamber  in  Serj^  Inn  in  Chancery  Lane,  there  mett  about 
this  matter,  my  L^  C^  Just.  Holt,  Just.  Dolben,  Just.  Gregory,  Baron  Ledimere, 
Baron  Turton  and  Baron  Powell,  and  they  sent  for  Serj<  Jennor  and  Seij^  Lntwtcfa 
and  they  both  informed  yc  Judges  that  upon  y«  removall  of  Baron  Jennor  into  j* 
Com.  Pleas  he  kept  his  precedency  in  everything  but  onely  sitting  in  Court  and  being 
named  in  y^  fines,  and  that  his  sitting  below  Just.  Lutwich  in  y*  Court  was  appointca 
by  y«  L^  Chan.  Jeffrys  to  be  soc,  who  said  it  was  by  the  K's  express  command;  and, 
after  hearing  of  this  matter,  all  y«  said  6  Judges  declared  that  Just  Nevile  shoold 
have  the  intire  precedency  before  Just.  Powell  and  myselfe,  and  they  said  yt  j*  Lord 
C^  Baron  Atkins  was  of  ye  same  opinion,  and,  accordingly,  upon  Thursday  y^  6*^  of 
Nov^r^  he  (*ame  into  Court  and  tooke  his  place  upon  y*  cushion  next  toj*C^  Just's 
cu£ihion,  and  by  this  means  I  who  had  been  y«  3<>  Just,  of  that  Court  above  8  years 
was  now  put  down  to  be  y^  4***  and  puisne  Just  of  that  Court 

••  Upon  Saturday  y«  3l»«  of  Oct.  91.,  Serj*  John  PoweU  was  swome  a  Baroo  of  y«

MR.  JVSTICK    ROKEIJY.  61 

tho  coach,  and  I  had  some  trouble  with  the  clamours  and 
unreasonable  carriage  of  some  of  tlie  great  practising  lawyers, 
yet  I  found  God's  abounding  mercy  to  mo  ii  carrying  me 
througli  these  things. 

The  good  ])rovidence  of  my  God  gave  me  good  preparation 
for  my  journey  by  an  excellent  sennon  preached  by  Mr.  S.  *  the 
Lord's  day  before  I  went  from  that  text  Exod.  xxxiii.  14,  15, 
wherein  lie  shewed  that  God's  favourable  and  gracious  presence, 
promised  by  Him  and  prized  by  His  people,  is  the  greatest 
blessing  they  can  enjoy.  And  from  thence  I  received  encou- 
ragement to  seek  it  earnestly,  and  to  bless  God  for  it.  I  doe 
now  humbly  and  thankfully  adore  and  magnifye  the  infinite 
grace  and  condescension  of  my  God  Who  heard  prayers  on 
my  behalfe  and  who  accompanied  me  and  followed  me  with 
His  gracious  presence  from  time  to  time  and  from  place  to 
place. 

I  doe  now  renew  my  prayers  and  thanksgivings  to  my  God 
for  all  His  mercy s  to  me,  and  I  doe  again  ae\ote  and  dedicate 
myselfe,  and  all  my  enjoyments  and  all  my  actions,  interests 
and  all  my  concernments,  unto  my  gracious  God  in  my  Lord  and 


domned  for  murdering  her  child,  since  her  condemnation.  Mj  Lord,  I  htve  been 
with  her  cTery  day  but  one  this  week,  and  according  to  y«  best  of  my  weake  abilityi 
have  tMideavour'd  to  prepare  her  for  di'ath  and,  I  thank  God,  I  have  bad  much  better 
successe  in  my  undertakings  than  I  ever  had  before,  for  I  do  beleive  her  to  be  tmlj 
penitent  and  sorrowfull  for  her  crime ;  and  tho'  I  cannot  prevail  with  her  to  confeise 
y^  she  is  actually  guilty  of  y«  murder,  yet  she  acknowledges  the  juttioe  of  her  sen- 
tence and  bewails  Iier  own  ignorance  in  not  calling  for  help,  w^*^  if  she  had  don  the 
might  have  escaped  y*'  scntance  of  di>ath.  All  y*  she  alledges  for  herselfe  is  this,  j^ 
at  y*^  time  of  her  deliTery  she  fell  into  a  swooning  fit,  in  w*-'^  she  oontinaed  for  a  time, 
and  when  she  came  again  to  herselfe,  she  found  y«  child  dead  and  cold  upon  y* 
ground  ;  and  to  conceal  her  shame  she  put  it  into  y^  as^h  hole ;  and  this,  she  says,  is 
true,  upon  y^  word  of  a  dying  woman.  I  have  enquired  of  her  behavior  in  my 
absence  and  >*-'  jayh)r  and  all  y^  |>eople  in  y^  house  do  My  y^  she  has  behaved  hendra 
very  penitently,  and  has  retired  herselfe  from  all  company,  and  spending  her  time  in 
reading  and  praying  and  fitting  herselfe  for  death  :  and  I  do  find  her  every  day  more 
and  more  {Sensible  of  her  sad  condition,  and  di)  perceive  y^  she  takes  notice  of  those 
instructions  I  have  given  her  and  is  not  without  hope  y'  God  will  be  mercifnll  to  her 
t-oul.  My  L(.rd,  i  hope  this  account  of  her  will  dispose  your  Lordship  to  j^  mercy* 
which  your^clt'e  was  pleased  to  say  you  were  so  naturally  inclined,  and  yoor  Lordship'a 
commandiut;  me  to  give  you  this  account  is  a  great  encouragement  to  me  to  hope  y' 
\ou  will  pity  the  poor  woman's  case.  She  may  prove  a  good  woman  alter  this.  There 
are  many  iii>tai)ces  of  tho.se  y<  liave  made  good  use  of  mercy  y^  have  been  in  this  very 
caae.  Hut  I  tieeil  not  use  arguments  to  persuade  yoar  Lordship  to  be  mercifulL 
I  shall  continue  my  endeavors  to  prepare  her  for  y*^  hour  of  death  and  keep  her 
uitliout  hopes  of  pardon  or  rrprcive  till  it  shall  please  y'  Lordship  to  send  cither,  and 
then  1  do  not  doubt  but  she  will  prove  thankfull,  to  God  in  the  first  place,  and,  then, 
to  your  Lordship.  .My  Lord,  I  am  your  Lordship's  most  humble  and  obedient 
>enant.  Jon.  CiirRcii.  In  dorso.  For  the  right  honourable  Sir  Thomas  Rokeby  at

and  body  for  the  discharge  of  the  dutys  incumbent  on  me  as 
that  I  went  comfortably  and  chearfully  through  my  worke. 
The  good  Lord  pardon  all  my  deffects,  failings  and  imper- 
fections therein,  which  I  acknowledge  were  very  many. 

And  now,  having  been  something  above  61  years  in  the 
world,  and  above  31  years  a  marrj'ed  man,  and  near  4  years 
a  Judge,  I  doe  most  humbly  and  heartily  bless  and  praise  my 
gracious  God  for  all  the  mercys  of  my  whole  life,  and  of  every 
condition  and  station  that  I  am  or  have  been  in ;  and  I  doe 
^Tite  this  to  the  praise  of  God's  grace  that  I  have  always  found 
Ilim  to  be  a  God  in  hearing  prayers,  supplying  wants,  support- 
ing weakness,  incourau;oing  fearfidness,  and  helping  me  in  all 
the  straits  and  difficuitys  of  my  life.  I  pray  God  keep  upon 
my  mind,  all  my  days,  a  lively  sense  of  His  mercy  and  goodness 
to  me  ever  since  I  had  a  being,  and  helpo  me  to  praise  flim  still 
while  I  have  any  being.    Amen.   Amen. 

Tliis  28^'*  day  of  May,  1693,  I  doe  again  renew  this  my 
solemn  covenant  and  sclfe  dedication  imto  my  God,  and  doe 
humbly  beg^  pardon  for  all  my  failures  and  defects  herein :  and 
I  implore  Dunne  grace  and  assistance  to  keep  me  more  stead- 
fast, courageous  and  active  in  it  for  the  residue  of  my  declining 
life. 

Aug.  20,  94.  I  have  this  day  received  and  renewed  my 
covenant  with  my  God  (Ps™  iv.  and  v.)  before  mentioned;  and  1 
doe  humbly  begg  pardon  of  my  God,  for  Christ  Jesus'  sake,  for 
all  my  failings  and  unsteadfastness  in  this  covenant,  and  I  hum- 
bly beseech  the  Lord  to  inable  me,  by  the  power  of  His  Divine 
JSpirit  and  grace,  to  walke  more  faithfully  and  resolutely  in  His 
covenant  for  the  time  to  come. 

I  have  gone  the  Western  circuit  this  summer  (Just.  Powell 
and  I)  and  have  experienced  the  abundant  mercy  and  goodness 
of  my  gracious  God  to  me  in  all  my  journeys  and  afiairs,  Who 
liatli  carried  me  out,  supported  me,  and  brought  me  homo  with 
satV'ty  and  hath  preserved  my  habitation  and  concernments  in 
mine  and  my  wife's  absence  (my  wife  went  into  Yorkshire  this 
summer)  *.     I  desire  that  God  would  write  a  law  of  thankful*

affaires  relating  to  soul,  body,  estate,  for  I  can  and  doc  say  upon 
my  own  experience  that  "it  is  good  for  mo  to  trust  in  the 
Lonl."   Esay.  xxvi.  4. 

April  13,  1)5.  This  last  vacation  I  went  the  Norfolk  circuit 
alone  (my  bro.  Nevile  with  whom  I  was  in  commission  stapng 
in  Town  to  attend  the  l*arliament).  It  began  the  4***  of  March, 
and  there  were  great  snows  fell  that  week  in  many  places, 
which  hindrtKl  the  passage  of  coaclies,  and  made  it  very  difficidt 
fur  some  of  the  Judges  who  went  on  horseback :  but  I  note  it  as 
God's  great  mercy  to  me  that  in  the  ways  where  I  went  there 
wxTe  no  snow  fell  to  such  a  degree  as  either  to  hinder  or  make 
difficult  my  passage ;  and  though  I  had  some  deep  and  dirty 
waves,  yet  I  had  a  comfortable  jomey,  and  came  home  in  health 
and  safety,  blessed  be  God  for  it. 

Upon  the  observation  I  made  of  the  frame  and  disposition  of 
my  own  mind  I  am  afraid  least  there  should  be  growing  upon 
me  a  frothiness,  lightness  and  vanity  of  spirit,  unbecomcing  the 
gravity  of  a  Christian  Judge.  I  heartily  desire  to  watch  and 
strive  against  it,  and  I  humbly  beg  of  God  to  inablo  me  by  Uis 
grace  to  prevail  against  it.     Amen. 

I  have  this  day  again  received  and  renewed  this  solemne 

informed  of  her  before  I  be  too  far  engaged  in  this  matter.  Excuse  this  trouble  which 
I  must  give  you,  as  I  know  you  to  be  a  true  friend  to  your  very  affectionate  cosin  and 
faithfull  servant,  Jo.  White — In  dorto.  For  my  hon*^'  cosin  y  Lady  Rokeby, 
present  these." 

''  Carboiton,  Sept'  16^,  95. 
"  Honored  Cosin, — I  have  now  (as  the  world  goes)  indifferent  good  servants  and 
my  family  pritty  well  settled  which  is  much  to  my  ease  and  satisfiiocion  now  I  grow 
into  yeares,  and  gladly  I  would  have  been  dismist  of  and  from  all  pablid[  impkip,  j< 
so  I  might  have  spent  the  remainder  of  my  time  in  a  more  private  station,  but  I  feare 
it  will  not  yet  be,  tho'  I  grow  very  infirme  and  find  old  age  come  fiut  upon  me.  My 
son  is  not  like  to  stand  at  Newarke  unless  you  can  help  me  to  a  thoosaod  or  fifteen 
hundred  pounds  to  throw  away  upon  y<  debauched  bunrough,  whidi  is  not  otherwise 
to  be  prevailed  upon.  My  son  and  daughters  joyne  with  me  in  presenting  you  and 
my  good  cosin  Dorothy  with  our  services,  which  shall  conclude  your  trouble  at  this 
time  given  you  by,  dearc  cosin,  your  much  obliged  and  affect  oodn  and  iervant,

which  you  acquaint  me  you  intend  to  begin  your  journey  into  the  South  the  8<^

to  be  a  place  of  more  honor  and  profit  than  the  place  I  was  in 
in  the  Common  Pleaa,  yet  I  can  truly  say  I  did  not  seek  it,  nor 
were  there  any  motives  to  me  to  undertake  it ;  but  I  hope  I 
may  truly  say  I  came  into  this  station  in  an  humble  submission 
to  the  disposall  of  Divine  Providence,  to  Whose  infinite  wisdom 
and  goodness  I  did  wholly  committ  this  affair  when  it  was  first 
propounded  to  me,  and  to.AVhoso  holy  and  gracious  will  and 
pleasure  I  do  willingly  and  chearfully  submitt  myself  and  all 
my  interest,  affairs  and  concernments.  And  now,  Iloly  Father, 
Thou  having  placed  me  in  this  station,  which  is  a  station  of 
more  action  tlian  that  wherein  I  was  before,  and  (as  I  appre- 
hend) of  greater  difficultys,  snares  and  temptations,  1  doe 
therefore  most  humbly  and  earnestly  begg  of  my  heavenly 
Father,  for  the  sake,  and  through  the  merits  and  mediation,  of 
my  blessed  Lord  and  Saviour,  Jesus  Christ,  to  give  unto  His 
poor  worthless  creature  such  measures,  proportions  and  degrees 
of  spirituall,  intellejctuall  and  corporall  strength  and  abilitys  as 
may  be  most  for  God's  glory,  the  publicke  good,  and  my  own 
etemall  comfort.  I  doe  wholly  reive  upon  the  aids  and  assist- 
ances of  Thy  Blessed  Spirit :  oh  Lord,  I  will  not  lean  to  my 
own  understanding.     Oct"^  28,  95. 

March  15,  95-6.  I  have  been  now  two  terms  a  Judge  in  the 
King's  Bench,  and,  by  the  best  calculation  I  am  yet  able  to 
make,  the  casuall  profits  of  this  place  will  be  considerably  less 
by  the  year  than  they  were  in  the  Common  Pleas. 

I  must  acknowledge  that  the  thoughts  of  this  have  stirred  up 
some  trouble  and  disquietment  in  my  mind,  and  the  rather, 
because  it  seemes  to  me  most  probable  that  the  wants  and 
necessity  of  some  of  my  near  relations  (whom  I  have  helped, 
and  must  still  help  according  to  my  ability)  are  likely  not  onely 
to  continue,  but  to  increase,  and  this  abatement  of  my  income 
will  miikc  me  less  able  to  assist  them. 

1»^  I  humbly  and  heartily  begg  of  my  God,  for  the  sake  of  my 
blessed  Redeemer,  the  Lord  Jesus  Chnst,  that  He  will  pardon 
the  sin  of  this  trouble  and  disquietment  upon  this  occasion,  for 
it  carry's  in  it  great  ingratitude  to  God  for  the  many  mercies  I

On  the  8<h  of  Not.  Mrs.  Rokebj  writes  thus  from  Sandal  to  Lady  Rokeby :—«'  I  hear

rtjdire  in,  as  hoping  it  will  be  a  mcrde  to  j*  nation  when  y*  rightioos  are  thus  of

spirituall  and  heavenly  in  my  affections  and  conversation  than 
ever  I  have  been.    Amen. 

Aug.  24,  95.  This  summer  I  went  the  Oxford  circuit.  I  went 
not  out  att  first  with  my  bro.  Powys  (who  was  the  other  Judge 
of  that  circuit)  being  commanded  by  the  Lord  Justices  to  stay 
in  Town  some  days,  but  I  went  out  on  Thursday  23  of  July,  and 
came  to  Oxford  the  next  day  by  noone,  and  that  afternoon  I 
dispatched  all  the  tryalls  on  the  crown  side  in  Oxford,  but  it 
was  near  12  o'clock  att  night  before  I  got  home.  I  had  full 
business  throughout  the  circuit,  and,  notwithstanding  my  groat 
weakness,  God  did  enable  me  to  go  through  it.  I  did  all  the 
business  at  Shrewsbury  alone.  My  bro.  Powis,  being  that 
country  man,  appeared  not  there  at  all,  and  tho'  there  was  a 
great  goale  and  many  causes  of  moment,  yet  I  got  all  done  by 
Tuesday  night  18  Aug*,  and  then  came  in  4  days  to  London. 
I  got  home  in  health  and  safety  on  Saturday  22  Aug^.  Blessed 
be  God. 

I  doe  now  set  up  another  monument  to  God's  praise.  Hitherto 
the  Lord  hath  helped  me ;  He  hath  been  abundantly  gracious 
to  me  in  all  this  circuit,  both  as  to  ihy  mind  and  body.  I  hope 
I  shall  never  forget  His  goodness  and  loving  kindness  to  me  in 
every  respect.  I  doe  now  devote  my  intire  selfe  in  thankful- 
nesse  to  Him  Who  is  my  God,  and  the  God  of  all  my  mercies. 
The  good  Lord  pardon  all  my  failings  and  guilt,  and  accept  of 
me  in  my  Blessed  Redeemer,  the  Lord  Jesus.   Amen. 

Oct**^  29,  96.  I  have  now  been  a  Judge  of  the  King's  Bench 
a  full  year  and  a  day,  and  by  the  abundant  goodness  of  my 
gracious  God  toward  me  (for  to  Him  alone  I  doe  ascribe  all  the 
ability  I  have  to  doe  any  service)  I  have  done  the  dutys  of  that 
place,  I  hope,  without  dishonour  to  God,  or  reproach  to  religion, 
or  any  just  cause  of  reflection  upon  the  King,  who  removed  me 
into  that  station.  Not  imto  me,  0  Lord,  not  unto  me,  but  unto 
Thy  great  name  be  all  the  praise.  I  am  only  a  poor  weak 
instrument  in  Thy  hand.  I  wdl  not  boast  or  lift  up  myselfe  as 
if  I  were  anything  without  Him.  Esay.  x.  15.  I  doe  humbly 
acknowle<lge  that  I  can  doe  nothing  witnout  the  help  and  assist- 
ance of  my  God.  In  all  my  wayes  I  desire  heartily  to  acknow- 
lodgc  Him,  and  I  doe  humbly  begg  of  Him,  for  the  sake  of  my 
Blessed  Redeemer,  Jesus  Christ,  that  He  will  be  pleased  graci- 
ously to  direct  my  paths.    Amen.   Amen. 

^^ov**'  22^,  96.  I  have  this  day  received  this  covenant  and 
dedication  of  myselfe  and  all  my  concernments  unto  my  God, 
and  I  doe  now  again  humbly  ana  heartily  renew  it,  and  do  beg 
power  from  on  high  to  be  kept  stedfast  in  it  to  my  life's  end. 

Feb'  6,  97.     I  doe  this  aay  humbly  renew  tniB  dedication

many  very  long  causes,  occasioned  in  part  by  tho  having  onely 
one  single  Judge  in  the  Ijcnt  circuit  before,  and  in  the  greatest 
part  of  the  summer  circuit.  These  things  kept  us  full-nanded 
with  business  in  the  whole  circuit,  and  I  doe  humbly  and 
heartily  bless  and  praise  the  name  of  my  gracious  God,  Who 
did  abundantly  assist  and  support  me,  his  poor,  weak  and 
unworthy  servant,  in  all  my  journeys  and  affiiirs.  Who  very 
graciously  heard  prayers  which  were  put  up  on  my  behalfe,  and 
preserved  me  in  a  good  degree  of  health  and  strength.  I  doe 
now  intirely  give  up  myselfe  in  thankfulness  unto  my  God.  It 
is  this  day  just  eieht  years  and  one  day  since  I  came  up  to 
London  upon  my  call  to  be  Judge,  in  all  which  time  I  have  had 
great  experience  of  the  transcendent  mercy,  goodness,  and 
loving-kindness  of  my  gracious  God  unto  me.  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  for  it.    Amen  and  Amen. 

Aug.  22"**,  97.  I  have  this  day  seriously  received  this 
covenant  and  dedication  of  myselfe  and  all  my  interests  unto 
my  God,  and  doe  now  att  this  time  humbly  and  heartily  renew 
it,  and  doe  earnestly  begg  of  my  gracious  God,  through  the 
merits  and  mediation  of  my  blessed  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus 
Christ,  to  pardon  all  my  defects  and  unsteadfastness  in  this 
covenant :  and  I  himibly  implore  Divine  aid,  grace  and  assist- 
ance, to  enable  me  to  walk  more  faithfully,  actively  and  courage- 
ously in  this  covenant  all  the  remaining  part  of  my  short  and 
declining  life.    Amen  and  Amen. 

KSept'  5***,  97.  I  went  the  Western  circuit  this  summer  with 
my  1/  C^  Ikron  Ward,  and  in  the  whole  compass  of  the  circuit 
from  my  first  setting  out  upon  the  18'^  of  July,  to  my  coming 
home  upon  the  21  Aug.,  I  had  great  experience  of  the  abundant 
mercy  and  goodness  of  God  towards  me.  I  had  a  very  good 
state  of  health  all  along,  and  a  competent  degree  of  strength  for 
my  work,  tho'  under  a  great  infimuty  in  respect  of  my  motion. 
I  iiad  a  very  good  season  of  weather,  for  the  most  part,  free  from 
excessive  heats,  the  usual  inconvenience  of  the  summer  circuits* 
I  met  with  no  troublesome  accidents  of  any  kind. 

I  mention  these  things  to  stir  up  my  own  heart  to  be  thank- 
full  unto  God,  and  tho'  these  matters  may  seem  to  be  but 
ordiniirj'  and  common  things  in  themselves,  yet  I  desire  to  look 
u{K)n  them  as  the  special  disposals  of  Divine  providence  which 
governs  and  orders  the  most  minute  as  well  as  the  greatest 
allliires.  I  look  upon  these  things,  also,  as  a  gracious  retume 
of  prayers  put  up  on  my  behalfe,  and  1  desire  to  have  an  abiding 
law  of  thankfulness  written  upon  my  heart  and  life.  Blessed 
be  God.     Blessed  be  God.    Amen  and  Amen.

all  Iminblo  bcleivoin^  and  rcpcntinpf  manner,  and  with  sincerity, 
I  r(*si<^n  up  my  soul  unto  my  gracious  God  and  I'^ather  Who  gave  it, 
earnestly  begging  of  Him  the  full  and  fret?  pardon  of  all  my  sins,  and 
the  acceptance  of  my  person  only  in  and  through  the  merits  and 
mediation  of  my  blessed  Lord  and  alone  Saviour  Jesus  Christ  the 
righteous,  Who  came  into  the  world  to  save  lost  sinners,  of  whom  I 
am  cheife ;  and,  being  such  an  one,  I  fly  unto  that  refuge  which  is  set 
before  me  in  the  blood  of  my  Lord  Jesus,  and  hope  for  pardon, 
acceptance  and  justification  in  the  siglit  and  att  the  tribunall  of  the 
holy  and  righteous  Judge  of  all  the  world,  not  upon  the  account  of 
my  own  righteousness,  (which  is  but  as  filthy  raggs)  but  through 
that  atonement  which  my  dear  Lord  Jesus  Christ  hath  made  to 
Divine  justice  by  His  most  perfect  righteousness,  in  which  is  all  my 
faith,  hope  and  confidence.  And  I  comitt  my  body  to  the  earth  to  !)0 
privat«^]y  buried  whore  my  executrixes  shall  thinke  fitt,  to  rest  in 
liope  of  a  blessed  and  glorious  resurrection  unto  etemall  life  by  that 
Almighty  power  which  raised  up  my  Lord  J(?sus  from  tin*  «lt'ad,  and 
by  vertue  of  my  union  to  Ilini  as  my  Spirit uall  head.  And  as  to 
that  estate  wherewith  the  gracious  providence  of  my  God  hath 
intrusted  me  as  His  steward  1  do  dispose  thiTeof  as  fi)llows.  First, 
my  will  is  that  all  the  debts  which  I  owe  in  love  or  conscience  shall 
be  truely  and  justly  satisfied  out  of  my  estate.  Secondly,  I  doo 
Jiereby  revoke  all  former  wills  and  disposalls  of  my  estate.  Item, 
I  make  my  most  dear  and  intirely  beloved  wife  dame  Ursula  Rokeby, 
(of  whose  tender  aflection,  faithfuUness  and  prudence  1  have  had 
great  experienoi')  and  my  dearly  beloved  neice  Dorothy  Kokeby  *, 
(daughter  of  my  late  brothiT  Joseph  Eokeby  deceased)  the  executrixes 
of  this  my  will.  And  I  give  unto  my  said  executrixes,  their  ex"  Ac, 
all  tlie  residue  of  my  personall  estate,  and  chattells  n»all,  after  tho 
performance  of  this  my  will,  and,  allso,  my  mortgages  and  security s 
ibr  money.  Item,  I  give  unto  my  said  dear  wife,  her  heires  and 
assignes,  all  my  lands  att  or  near  Xewton  upon  Ouse,  and,  for  her 
life,  all  my  other  messuages,  lands,  «tc.,  whatsoever  and  wheresoever: 
and  I  do  declare  that  if  tliey  were  of  farr  greater  value  then  they  arc 
slie  hath  very  well  di'sene'd  them  from  me.  Item,  after  my  wife's 
death,  I  give  unto  my  eldest  brother  William  Eokeby  Esq.  t  and  his 

•  Tlir  .luilue's  favourite  niece.  She  marriitl  James  WynJlow  of  Think.  He  met

White  of  Curhurtoii,  in  a  lettrr  to  Ijidy  Roki'))y,  says,  "  I  sup|>osi*,  madam,  by  this

and  in  it  were  laid  the  bones  of  his  illnstriouB  descendant. 
Filled  that  chapel  was  with  the  dust  of  the  Rokebys  who  were 
commemorated  by  brass  and  marble  and  sculptured  stone,  and  still 
may  you  see  it  there,  neglected  indeed  and  in  decay,  but  even 
at  this  (hiy  there  are  few  memorials  of  the  dead  more  interesting 
and  more  beautiful  in  tlie  great  shire  of  York. 

In  front  of  the  east  window  in  the  little  chapel,  hiding  all 
the  delicate  tracery,  stands  the  Judge's  monument.  Damp  and 
neglect  have  tarnished  the  marbles  and  obliterated  the  shield  of 
arms,  but  it  still  bears  the  following  inscription  * : —

MR.    JUSTICE   ROKEBY.  69 

Wharton  and  other  religious  persons  and  interceded  successfiilly 
witli  William  III.  for  Mr.  Richard  Frankland. 

Sir  Thomas  Rokcby  was  also  a  person  of  some  literair  attain- 
ments, lie  gathered  together  an  extensive  library  which,  with 
his  books  and  papers,  was  preserved  at  Newbuilding  till  a  very 
rec(^nt  period.  It  contained  many  contemporaneous  works 
in  Divinity  and  general  literature,  including  a  very  large 
collection  of  the  pamphlets  of  his  day,  all  of  which  had  been 
carefully  perused  by  their  owner.  There  was  also  there  a 
manuscript  of  Sir  Thomas  Fairfax's  Memorials,  the  gift  of  the 
distinguished  general  himself.  Loggan  dedicated  his  view  of 
Catherine  Hall  to  Sir  Thomas  Rokeby,  who  was  once  a  fellow  of 
that  house,  and  he  was  one  of  the  Judges  to  whom  Dr.  Wake 
inscribed  a  volume  of  his  sermons  which  was  published  in  1690. 

I  have  already  mentioned  a  little  tractate  of  which  the  Judge 
was  supposcKl  by  some  to  be  the  author.  I  am  not  aware  that  no 
ever  printcni  anything  himself.  Thoresby,  in  his  Ducattts,  says 
that  he  was  indebted  to  him  for  the  pedigree  of  Rokeby,  and  I 
liave  before  me  the  copy  of  the  chronicle  of  his  house,  the 
(Economia  Rokebeiorum,  which  he  had  prepared,  apparently,  for 
the  j)ress.  And  in  truth  he  was  always,  and  with  good  reason, 
proud  of  his  distinguished  family,  for  he  bore  what  Sir  John 
Feme  calls  in  his  G/ort/  of  Generosttie,  "  a  name  in  the  North 
province  of  Eii gland  of  great  worship,  and  plentifull  of  gentle- 
men of  auntient  continuance."  In  love  for  that  name  he  reno- 
vated tlie  ancient  chapel  of  his  house  at  Sandal,  and  his  purse 
and  his  counsel  were  ever  at  the  service  of  any  needy  kinsman. 
The  great  deeds  of  his  famous  ancestors  were  ever  before  his 
eyes,  not  as  is  the  case  in  too  many  instances,  to  be  the  subject 
of  idle  vaunt  and  indolent  admiration,  but  to  spur  him  on  to 
a  life,  if  possible,  of  equal  excellence.  You  are  not  a  gentleman 
because  you  have  a  large  estate  and  spring  from  knights  and 
baronets,  high  sheriffs  and  esquires,  such  honors  will  omy  cover 
you  with  additional  disgrace 

Si  coram  Lepidis  male  vivitur — 

lUood  had  better  far  be  water  than  be  foul  with  vice  and  pride. 
To  Mr.  Justice  Rokeby,  the  p^at  deeds  of  his  ancient  house 
were  a  stimulus,  if  any  stimulus  was  wanting,  to  the  life  of  a 
Christian  gentleman,  and  as  such,  and  what  nobler  title  can 
a  man  have,  he  would  be  an  honor  to  any  family  in  England. 
He  left  no  child  to  perpetuate  his  name,  a  want  which  he  seems 
to  speak  of  once  or  twice  ^dth  a  feeling  of  disappointment,  and 
it  was  doubtless  a  cause  for  regret  to  those  who  loved  him  well 
that  **  nullum  suarum  virtutum  reliquerit  hcredem."
