Not much differing from the faid Pofitions of Barrow and Greenwood, were the Opinions of Robert Brown (fometimes of Bennet Colledge in Cambridge) from whom that Sect beareth His Pofitions the Name even to this day. But be Little differing caufe in this Archbishop's time the faid Brown was changed from those Fancies, and afterwards obtained a Benefice called Achurch in Northamptonshire (where he became a painful Preacher) I will not much infift upon him:

I let pafs many like Schifms in other parts of the Realm which this good Archbishop suppressed, and the Controverfies in both Universities which by his Wifdom were appeased; as also the reverend Opinion which divers honourable Perfonages had of him for his great temper and moderation in handling these Bufineffes toward fome of great Place (whofe Reputations, if he would, he might have blemished with her Majefty, for favouring the aforefaid Libellers, and Libels, which Cartwright's had ftowage and vent in their Chambers) as also in procuring, at her Majefty'y hands, both pardon and difmif fion for Mafter Cartwright, and the reft, out of their Troubles.

In which Letters he is also pleased to vouchsafe him the ftile of a Right Reverend Father in God, Cartwright's and his Lord the Archbishop's Grace of March 24. Canterbury.

Yea the Archbishop hath been heard to fay, That if Mafter Cartwright had not fo far ingaged himself as he did in the be ginning, he thought verily he would in his latter time have been drawn to Cónformity. For when he was freed from his Troubles, he often repaired to the Archbishop, who used him kindly, and was contented to tolerate his Preaching in The Archbishop Warwick divers years, upon his Pro- tolerates Care mife, that he would not impugn the wright to preach pubLaws, Orders, and Government in this lickly without Church of England, but perfuade and Conformity. procure, so much as he could, both publickly, and privately, the eftimation and peace of the fame.

But upon better confideration, finding by the heady Courfes of fome of them, the danger that thereby was like to grow to her Majefty and the State, and the Refolution had of all hands to cut them off by the Law aforefaid, he grew very calm, and was careful how to carry himself uprightly betwixt both.
