Subscribed againe 1604, in the beginninge of K. Jeames. And note that thefe Words Subfcribed again, &c. are manifeftly written by Archbishop Laud's own Hand. And I conclude from the Sameness of Color in the Ink, that the Word and, and the Date 1571, were alfo written by him. So (g) There is but one Subfcriber for the Clergy of this Diocole. that that the Book had probably been his. However, 'tis reported, that it was once pawned for a Por of Ale at a Public House, and redeem'd from thence by a Person of Curiofity; after whose Death it came, with other Books and Papers, into the Library of the Reverend Mr. Robert Foulkes,Rector of Llanbeder and Llanuwrog in Denbighshire in North Wales, to whom I here return my humble Thanks for the ufe of it. I muft farther obferve, that there are in this Book fome Corrections made with the Pen, viz. In the Title Page, Kinges for Queenes. The fame in the 37th Article. his for her. ibid. our late Queene. ibid. Thefe Corrections were probably previous to the Subscription; tho' I can't give a good Reafon for them. I am fure, there was no neceffity of them, CHAP. XXVII. Of King Charles the First's Edition of the Articles, with his Declaration prefixed to the fame. IN N the Year 1628 the famous Declaration of King Charles I. was prefixed to an Edition of the Articles, which he then caufed to be published, probably (a) at the Inftance of Archbishop Laud: and the faid Declaration has been often reprinted with the Articles, not only in the Reign of King Charles I. but alfo in fucceeding Times. (e) See Dr. Heylyn's Life of him, p. 178. Bb 3 *Tis Chap. XXVII, 'Tis obfervable, that Bishop Pearson, when he manifeftly speaks of this very Declaration, (b) cals it the Declaration decimo Caroli; whereas it was certainly published, as the Title Page of the Copy F reftifies, in 1628, which could not be more than quarto Caroli, whether you reckon by the Julian or by the Ecclefiaftical Computation. I prefume, the Occasion of this great and excellent Prelate's Mistake was, that he ufed an Impreffion publifhed in the Tenth of that King; which (becaufe the Declaration bears no Date, and alfo has these Words, probibiting the leaft Difference from the faid Articles, which to that end we command to be new printed, and this our Declaration to be published therewith) he concluded to be the firft Impreffion of it. Since the Collation was printed, I find, that the Copies of the Impreffion in 1628 differ. For there is one in the Library of St. John's College in Cambridge, which differs from that which I was obliged to use when I made my Collation (for I did not then know, that any Copy of this Sort was to be found at St. John's) in three Things. First, There is in St. John's Copy, a Comma after Heaven, contrary to what the Collation exhibits in Numb. 18. of the Fourth Article. Secondly, In the fame Copy 'tis printed judgemrnt (r being put for e) in the Thirty fourth Article. Thirdly, There is alfo in the fame Copy a Semicolon after them; and thefe Words, which fhould immediatly follow, viz. and in fuch only as worthily receive the fame, are totally omitted, which makes the Article in that Copy unintelligible. As for the firft Inftance, I believe, the Com (6) No Neceffity of reforming the Doctrine of the Church of England, p. 342, 342. in the Bibliotheca Script. Ecclef. Angl. Lond. 1709. ma |
