against the Prince s will by force and arms. It is well He meant 

 known, how one of the English Church at Geneva wrote a G 

 book to move to take arms against Queen Mary ; and Mr. 

 Whittingham s Preface before it. And who knoweth not, 

 that the Church of Geneva allowed it ? Also we have seen The disci- 

 the practice in France. Likewise it is written in the Scot- FrTnce? 

 tish story, how Mr. Knox moved the nobility of Scotland Scotland, 

 to bring in the Gospel with force against the Queen there ; V a. 

 and likewise well known, that Mr. Calvin was banished 

 Geneva, for that he would have brought in the discipline 

 against the will of the magistrate. Whereunto Mr. Cart-Cart- 

 wright replied, that his meaning was not to hide himself in ^pf^to 

 the clouds touching this matter, as one which had made a this - 

 plain and direct denial hereof: wherein if any thing were 

 doubtful, he would make it as plain as Mr. Doctor could 

 set it down. But that he now perceived, that if others were 

 like-minded to Mr. Dr. Bancroft, all purgation of ourselves 

 by oath (which was now required of him and others) should 

 be in vain ; considering, that whatsoever they should de 

 pose, yet it might be answered, as Mr. Doctor doth, that 

 they knew our drift well enough. Moreover, that he did 

 the reformed Churches great injury, which never had either 

 that judgment or practice he speaketh of, for any thing 

 that he ever read or knew. That he had read the Scottish 

 story, but remembered not that which he spake of. That 

 some particular persons had written from Geneva some 

 such things as he spake of; yet that it was a hard judg 

 ment to charge the Church of Geneva with it : which by 

 an epistle set forth by Mr. Beza, a principal Minister 

 thereof, had utterly disclaimed that judgment. 



With this the Bishop took them up, and asked Mr. Cart- The Bishop 

 wright once again, whether he would take the oath; and to f Cart _ 

 upon his refusal, commanded an act thereof to be entered, wright s re- 

 Then Mr. Cartwright putting the Bishop in mind of his 

 promise of leave to answer the charges which were given 

 against him, he answered, that he had no leisure to hear 

 his answer : and if he would answer, he should do it by a 

 private letter to the Bishop.
