6. The Parliament addeth, that silencing and depriving of Ministers for non-conformity, and non-subscription (without, and against Law) hath been the great grief of sundry well affected subjects. To this the Rej. saith, that so it hath been the grief of those which deprive• them; who yet deprived them because they were commanded, leas• their error should be still maintained, and the Ministry of Conformists contemned. This profession of grief in depriving. Prelates, may be likened unto that of Queen Mary's Prelates, who when they condemned the Martyrs, said they did it with grief. So Gardiner in his sentence of condemnation upon Mr. Rogers, the first that suffered under Queen Mary. We therefore, said the Bps. aforesaid, wit• ⟨p. 109⟩•orrow of mind, and bitterness of heart, do condemn thee •he said 10. Rogers, &c. Unto which may be added M. Fox •his Marginal note. These murderers pretend a sorrow of heart, and they will not cease from murdering. But to follow only the Rej. his so grieved. It is very goodly so. The well affected subjects were, and are grieved, in that •ense that scandalizing is called grieving: This scandal was at the Prelates proceedings: The Prelates are grieved for their own fact, but not to repentance, at least such, as they do not repent of. The grief of those well affected subjects stirred up in them, and in the Parliament a serious petition, and endeavour to stay the Prelates violence, and remove the scandal: but the Prelates, though they challenge the power, and care of Ecclesiastical affairs as properly belonging to them, could never be moved, either by others, or their own pretended grief, so much as to petition unto his Majesty, for the removing of the grievance, but were and are as ready as their Paratours, & Pursuivants to do that which belongs to them about this that grieveth the Parliament, and sundry other well affected subjects. The Parliament grieving with those that grieved, made a good Law to make void the Prelates Canons, as the cause of unsufferable grief: The Prelates, first makers of the Canons, and since urgers of their execution, in which also they often go beyond their own rules (as passionate executioners use to do) and many of them applaud themselves, glory, and triumph in their imagined victory. But it may be those are here meant, who, as D. B. in D. Covel pag. 44.
