monu/mental



If I define a hologram just as well as my nervous system defines this table, then there is no real technical reason anymore to state that this table is the original and the hologram is a simulation, or vice versa. This would be metaphysics. If I define this hologram better than the nervous system does then suddenly this table becomes a simulation of the hologram.

in the year 1638. for one Peake a Stationer



To put this out of question, we shall only adde one irrefragable evidence more con|cerning Images and Pictures. We have proved formerly that the Archbishop had in his own private Study a Book of Popish pictures of the Life, Passion, and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of the Virgin Mary, printed by Boetius à Bolswert in forein parts, Anno 1623. These very Pictures were all licensed by the Archbishops own Chaplain Doctor Bray; printed by his own printer and Kinsman Badger, in the year 1638. for one <-[H] ->Peake a Stationer (now in armes against the Parliament) and publickly sold and bound up in Bibles; as was testified by Mr. Walley Clerk of Sta|tioners Hall, and Michael Sparke Senior. Master Willingham likewise attested upon oath concerning these Pictures and Crucifixes put into the Bibles: that Captain <-[H] Peak at Holborne Cundit, Bookseller, who printed these pictures for Bibles, did affirme, that he printed them with the good liking, and by the speciall direction of the Arch|bishop, and his Chaplaine Dr. Bray: which Dr. Bray, as he said, carried him divers times to the Archbishop, to shew him the prints thereof, as they were cut and finished, who liked them all well, and gave his consent for the binding them up in Bibles; say|ing, Note in marg:  Note. That the Bibles wherein these pictures were bound up, they should be called THE BISHOP OF CANTERBURIES BIBLES; (stiling them after his own name, so much did he owne this fact, not the Bibles and Book of God, who abhorres such Images:) and further deposed, That he found two Bibles bound up with these Pictures in them, the one among Secretary Windebanks, the other among Sir John Lambes and Dr. Ducks chiefe papers and treasure (two of the Archbishops bosome friends and favourites) who highly esteemed them: both of which Bibles seized by Mr. Willingham, and richly bound up with these pictures in them, were then Note in marg:  Note. produced and shewed to the Lords. Master Walley further deposed, that these pictures bound up in Bibles giving great offence and scandall to many well affected people, himselfe with some other Stationers repaired to Lambeth to the Arch|bishop and complained against these pictures, and the binding of them up in Bibles, demanding his Graces direction therein; whether they should seize such Bibles with pictures which gave offence, or suffer them to be sold? To which the Arch|bishop answered, That they might doe well not to lay them out publickly upon their stals to be sold as yet, lest they should give offence; but if any come to ask for them or to buy them in your shops, in Gods name sell them freely to them, without
any scrupple; adding the second time, sell them to such in Gods name, but lay them not upon your stals in publick view. Upon which testimony the Archbishop deman|ded of Mr. Walley, who it was that gave him this direction concerning the sale of those Bibles with pictures? To which he readily replyed; Your Grace with your own mouth, as you may well remember. Whereunto the Archbishop answered, it was true, he did so; but the pictures were printed & bound up with Bibles before he knew of it; and that the first time he saw one of these Bibles, was in a Ladies hand in the Chappell at Whitehall; which he looking upon, when he came to Lambeth, sent for one of those Bibles himself; after which, the Stationers comming unto him about the sale of them, he gave them such directions as aforesaid, not to sell them openly for fear of giving offence, but only privately in their shops to such as asked for them: As most evident confession of guiltinesse. For if such pictures in Bibles were good & usefull, why should they not be exposed to open sale, & the view of all men? if ill and unlawfull, why should any of them be printed, or sold to any in private, and not totally suppressed, demolished, burnt? being contrary to our Statutes, Ho|milies, Writers, and the received Doctrine of our Church? These directions then of his, shewes his good affection to popish and idolatrous pictures: he had polluted his own English Bible with an embroydred Crucifix on its cover, before these Pictures printed; and now he would corrupt, pollute all our Bibles and New Te|staments with these Romish Images bound up in them, to which they are most re|pugnant. He would suffer no English Bibles to be printed or sold with marginall Notes to instruct the people, all such must be seized and burnt, as we shall prove a|none: but himself gives speciall approbation for the venting of Bibles with Popish pictures taken out of the very Masse book, to seduce the people to popery and idolatry.

The evidence to prove the first generall branch of his Charge, con|cerning the alteration, ub version of Religion.

To begin with his owne Kennel at Lambeth: We shall first lead you by the hand Note in marg:  His Popish & superstitious Innovations in Lambheth Chappell. into his publike Chapell there, a place devoted to Gods worship, and evidence what Popish Superstitious, Pictures, Vtensils, Vestments, Ceremonies, Innovati|ons he there introduced, and constantly practised since his instalment in the Arch|bishopricke of Canterburie, never heard off in any his Predecessors dayes since the beginning of reformation in King Edward the 6th. and Queene Elizabeths reignes.
First, we shall manifest what Idolatrous, superstitious Popish Pictures were there newly repaired, furbished, erected by him in this Chappell, to the great scan|dall of our Religion, and encouragement of Papists in their Idolatry, contrary to our Statutes, Articles of Religion, Homilies, Jnjunctions, Note '*' in marg:  Bishop Iewels Iew|els his defence of the Apology of the Church of England. 5.... WriterSingle illegible letter, & the established Doctrine of our Church, wherein the matter of fact stands thus: In the beginning of Reformation by vertue of the Statute of 3. and 4. Ed. 6. c. 10. for the abolishing, de|facing, and putting away of divers Bookes and Jmages then standing in any Church or Chapell; of the severall Homilies against the Perill of Jdolatry, then published by Au|thority, & of Queen Elizabeths subsequent Jnjunctions (given by her as well to the Clergy as Laity of this Realme, by the advise of her most honourable Councell in the first yeare of her Raigne, for the advancement of the honour of Almighty God, and sup|pression of superstition throughout her Realmes, Injunction, 2. 3. 23. 25. and Articles of in|quiry thereon: Artic. 2. 45. which enjoyned, All Pictures, Paintings, Images, and other monuments of Idolatry, and superstition to be utterly extinct, removed, abolished and dis|troyed, so that there remaine no memory of the same in Walls, Glassewindows, or else where within any Churches or Houses: the Idolatrous superstitious Pictures set up in times of Popery in the Glassewindowes of the Chapell at Lambeth house, were a|mong others defaced, demolished in such sort, that nought but a few broken imper|fect fragments of them remained, peeced up with white incoherent Glasse, and so continued altogether unrepaired, unfurbished, and utterly neglected, till this super|stitious Arch Prelate was translated to the See of Canterbury after the death of Dr. Georg Abbot, as was attested by Sir Nathaniel Brent, Vicar Generall, Dr. Daniel Featly household Chaplin to Archbishop Abbot, and Mr. Pryn, who had beene out in that Chappel, & exactly viewed it in Abbots dayes and since: But no sooner was the Prisouer at the Bar, W. Laud translated from London to Lambeth, but with all expe|dition & care, to his great cost [as appeares by the Glasiers Bills] he caused these demo|lished superstitious Pictures in the Glassewindowes to be repaired, furbished, beauti|fied, and made more compleat and accurate with new painted Glasse, then ever be|fore, setting them up againe in fresh lively colours, according to the very Patterne in the great Roman Missall, or Masse Book (which he had diligently noted with his own hand almost in every Page) so as no Chappel in Rome could be more Idolatrous, Po|pish, superstitious in regard of such offensive Pictures, then his at Lambeth, the par|ticulars whereof, after (a late double serious view) were thus attested before the Lords upon Oath, by Mr. William Pryn, Mr. Pember (the Glasier who helped to repaire and set them up) Mr. Dell the Archbishops owne secretary: Mr. Browne (his Ioyner) Sir Nathaniel Brent, and Dr. Featley.
That in the East Window of the Archbishops Chappel at Lambheth just over the high Altar (there newly erected) consisting of five severall Panes, there was in the middle pane in painted Glasse, a large Crucifix, or Picture of our Saviour Christ hanging on the Crosse, under which were the Picturs of a Scul, & of dead mens bones, with a Baskit full of Tooles, Nailes, and Round about the Crucifix were the High Priests with their Officers an horsebacke, and some Souldiers with others who crucified Christ, & the 2. theeves standing on foot; which portrature was taken out of the very expresse patterne thereof in the Archbishops owne Roman Missall


2ly. As he new moulded his Chappell Windowes; so he likewise altered the ancient Communion Table; standing with the ends East and West, some distance from the Wall Table-wise, even from the beginning of Reformation till his comming to the Arch-Bishopricke without any Rayle about it, into a New Altar placed Altar|wise against the Wall, with the ends North and South, hedged in with a new cost|ly Raile. Attested by Doctor Featly, Sir Nathaniell Brent, and Master Pryn.
