A Confirmation of the latter clause in this Letter of the Primates, viz. That the Articles of Ireland (determining the observation of the Lords day) were not called in Anno 1634. as Doctor Heylin hath affirmed.
Doctor Heylin, under the mask of an Observator hath been already offended with me, for joining in a Certificate against what he hath related concerning the abrogating of the Articles of Ireland, which was done by the command of this most Reverend Primate in his life time, and since that, he hath been much more; for my saying in his Funeral Sermon, Some had rashly affirmed it, and ⟨p. 103⟩that some such presumptuous affections have been lately published, and stilling that person a presumptuous (I may say also uncharitable) observator, that should presume to enter into the Lord Primates breast, and aver that the abrogating of them (to use his own term) was the cause of his carrying a sharp tooth, bearing a grudge (and that a mortal one) towards the L. Lieutenant Strafford. The Language with which throughout he pleaseth himself, might have been easily returned, but in regard such pen-combats are unseasonable, and unfitting between those of the same profession (only grateful to the adversary of both) I have left it to the prudence of a third person, who hath a convenient opportunity in his History to clear the whole, in the examination and moderation of all the passages between Mr. L. Strange and him.
