Chap. VII. The HISTORY of the PURITANS. 3ì5- fty, it was ordered, that if erroneous do&rine fhould be taught publickly, ,aeen it fhould not be publickly refuted, but complained of to fuch perfons as Elizabeth, her majefty fhould appoint to hear and determine fuch caufes ; for breach 'e ß-5g of which order he is charged with want of duty, and all the faults heal- ledges againfl me, can fignify nothing in his own defence. Mr. Hooker con- cludes with his unfeigned defires, that both Mr. Travers's and his papers may be burnt, and all animofities buried in oblivion, and that there may no flrife among them but this, who (hall purfue peace, unity, and piety, with the greateft vigor and diligence. But the council interfered not in the affair, Travers was left to the mer- Mr.Travers cy of the archbifhop, who could never be prevailed with to take off his fenced for fufpenfion, or licenfe him to preach in any part of England ; upon 1 je. . which he accepted an invitation into Ireland, and became provoft ofTrini- ty college in the univerfity of Dublin ; here he was tutor to the famous Dr. UJher, afterwards archbifhop of Armagh, who always had him in high efleem ; but being driven from thence by the wars, he returned after force years into England, and fpent the remainder ofhis days in filence, obfcuri- ty, and great poverty ; he was a learned man, a polite preacher, an admi- rable orator, and one of the worthieft divinesof his age. But all thefe qua- lifications put together, could not atone for the Tingle crimeof his non-con- formity. Mr. Cartwright being forbid preaching, had been encouraged by the earl Cartwright of Leice/ler and fecretary ÍTjalfingham, to anfwer the Rhemift tranflationofforbid to an- the new tellament, publifhed with annotations in favour of popery ; diversfwer the dofors and heads ofhoufes of the univerfity ofCambridge, folicited him toliamnrt the fame work, as appears by their epifile prefixed to the .book ; the likeL. of Whit- encouragement he received from fundry minifiersinLondon and Sufolk, none gift, P. 253. being thought fo equal to the talk as himfelf; and bécaufe Cartwright was, poor,the fecretary offiate fent him 1.004 with afï'urance of fuch further aí1ì- fiance as fhould be neceffary; this was about the year 1583 ; Cartwright accordingly applied himfelf to the work, but the archbifhop by his fove- reign authority, forbid him to proceed, being afraid that his writings would do the Hierarchy more damage, than they would do fervice to the prote- Slant caufe : The book therefore was left unfinifhed, and not publithed till the year 1618. to the great regret of the learned world, and reproach of the arc hbifhop. The fufferings of Mr: Gardiner, the deprived minifter of Malden in Ef- Mr. Gardi- fesc, would have moved compaffion in any except the bifhop of London. j nMr'r cafe. .
