Please note that it is not of publishable quality yet.
Not farre from Westminster, by the River, there is
erected a goodly Building, not yet finished, for Students in Di
vinity, commonly knowne by the name of Chelsey Colledge,
whereof I thought fit to make mention, because I finde
an Act of Parliament made in the seventh yeere of King Iames,
in the behalfe of the same Colledge, as also a Declaration pub
lished by Authority in the yeere 1616. containing the Reasons
that moved his Majesty and the State to erect the same which
here followeth.

WHereas his Majesty, of his
most Royall and zealous
care for the defence of
true Religion now e
stablished within this
Realme of England,
or Errors and Heresies repugnant unto
the same, hath been graciously pleased,
by his Letters Patents under the great
Seale of England, to found a Colledge
at Chelsey, neere London, and therein to
place certaine learned Divines, and to
incorporate the same by the name of
the Provost and Fellowes of the Col

London, of the foundation of the same
Iames King of England, and hath of his
most gracious bounty and goodnesse,

maintenance and sustentation, given
unto them a capacity and ability to re
ceive and take from his Majesty, or any
of his loving Subjects,
nements, Hereditaments, Gifts, Be
nefits, and Profits whatsoever, not ex
ceeding in the whole the yeerely value
of three thousand pounds, as in and by
the said Letters Patents doth more at
large appeare. And whereas also it is
manifest and evident, that the bring

the said City in the time of sicknesse,

zeale to a voluntary and liberall contribution.
VNderstanding by experi
ence, that want of in
formation hath much
hindred mens devotion
in contributing toward
the erection and dotation of Chelsey
Colledge, we have thought it very fit,
together with his Majesties Letters,
seconded by my Lord Archbishop of
Canterbury, to declare the reasons that
caused this worke to bee undertaken,
and to adde such Motives, as wee have
supposed may be most effectuall to give
satisfaction to his Majesties desire, and
perfection to this honourable designe.

First it was considered, that the
Popes Agents travelled Sea and Land,
wrote bookes in favour of their faction,
devised lies and slanders, to bring Re
ligion and the Professors thereof into
hatred, and not sparing any standing
in their way, by falshood and trechery
oppugned Kings and Princes, that
could not endure the Popes tyrannicall
government. And for this end, men
of ready wits, good speech, long expe
rience, and competent learning, have
beene maintained in Colledges, furni
shed with Bookes, holpen with Coun
sell and directions, bound with Lawes
and Oathes, to uphold the Papall Hie
rarchie and Heresie, and which mo
veth much, encouraged with great
promises and large rewards.

opposed themselves, yet because they
wanted encouragement to undertake

This then was the reason why this
Colledge by his Majesty and the State
was first designed, and a corporation
granted with large privileges, viz. That
a select number of Divines and others
should bee gathered together into one
body, and united with one forme of
Lawes, and there maintained, who be

cted by men of experience and action,
might alwaies bee ready to maintaine
our Christian faith, to answer the Ad

Religion as the State, to defend the
Majesty of Kings and Princes, against
the vsurpation of Popes, the liberty of
Christians, against the yoke of Super
stition, to supply the defect of teaching
where Appropriations have devoured
the Ministery, by teaching and confe
rence to convince the obstinate Papists
and Atheist, and by all lawfull meanes
to maintaine truth, and discover fals
hood.

By these Letters it may appeare,
that this Colledge is not an idle pro
ject of any private man, but a pious
worke projected by the King & State,
and that all that professe Religion, and
desire the continuance and advance
ment thereof, yea, all that honour his
Majesty, and wish the prosperity of the
State, and desire the increase of lear
ning, have interest therein, and I hope
shall receive contentment, and good
satisfaction by the same.

Being
Being then a worke of piety for the
maintenance of true Religion, who can
be accounted truly pious and religious,
and yet yeeld no helpe to advance it?
being a project to maintaine the ho
nour of the State, what good Subject
will not contribute to set forward this
project? but to touch onely the point
of Gods honour, let us remember the
words of the Wise man, Prov. 3. Ho
nour the Lord with thy substance. Let us
also consider what the Lord himselfe
saith, 1 Sam. 2. Them that honour me, I
will honour; and they that despise mee,
shall be despised. Now who can say, hee
honoureth God that suffereth him by
idolatry, superstition, and blasphemy to
be dishonoured, and will give nothing
to suppresse Baals Priests, and is con
tent that the Pope be worshipped like
the Idoll Bell? can Gods honour stand
with the superstition, heresie, idola
try, and blasphemy of Papists, prophan
nesse of Atheists, fanaticall doctrine
of Schismatickes, and idle Novelists?
It is not sufficient for true Christians
to professe true Religion, but they must
with zeale maintaine it, and with heart
abhorre, and with hand suppresse ido
latry and superstition, Who will rise up
with me against the wicked, saith the Pro
phet, Psal. 94. And Psal. 139. he saith,
Hee hated those that hated the Lord with
an unfained hatred. The Law Deut. 13.
is direct against such as intice us to
serve other gods, our eye may not pity
them, nor may we shew mercy unto
them, no although they bee our bro
thers, or our wives that lie in our bo
some.

An odious thing also it is, either to
suffer truth to bee suppressed, or lies to
be received. Saint Augustine in Epist.
ad Casulanum, saith, It is a fault to hide
truth, as well as to tell lies; Vterque reus
est, & qui veritatem occultat, & qui
mendacium dicit. Chrysostome Homil. 25.
in Math. doth charge him to be a Tray
tor unto Truth, that dare not boldly
utter it or defend it; Non ille solum est
proditor veritatis qui veritatem transgre
diens pro veritate mendacium loquitur,
sed etiam qui non liberè veritatem pronun
tiat quam pronuntiare tenetur, aut non
liberè veritatem defendit quam liberè de
fendere convenit.

Some suppose that Christianity and
Popery may stand together, and them
selves as Newters stand betweene both,
or as Mediators would reconcile both.
But can Christ bee reconciled to Anti-christ?
there is no concord betwixt
Christ and Belial, saith the Apostle,
2 Cor. 6. Elias told us there is no halt
ing betweene two Religions: no man
that honoureth any Creature can say
he truly honoureth God, for God gi
veth not his honour to Creatures, Asa
1 King. 15. was a good King, yet it is
imputed to him that hee tooke not
downe the high places. The Bishop of
the Church of Pergamus, Apocal. 2. is
reproved for suffering them that taught
the doctrine of Balaam; and the Bi
shop of Thyatira, for permitting Iesabel
to teach and deceive the people; and
shall the Church of England any longer
suffer the Romish Balamites, and the
false Priests of Baal maintained by the
Romish Iesabel and her Consorts to se
duce Gods people? The false Priests of
Bel used all art and cunning practices to
deceive, and now will not suffer any
Religion but that of their god Bel, the
Pope; and shall not true Christians use
equall diligence to maintaine truth, and
suppresse Popery, and all other idola
trous and false Religion? Ingemui fate
or (saith Hierome) minus nobis inesse vo
luntatis ad propugnandam veritatem,
quam inest illis cupiditatis ad inculcandum
mendacium: I sighed (saith he) seeing
lesse desire in us to defend truth, then
in our adversaries to maintaine lies.

Where
Wherefore, whether we regard the
service of God, or the honour we owe
to our King, or the love wee beare to
our Country and the State, let us not
shew our selves sparing or backward
in yeelding our ayd to set forward a
worke so religious and profitable for
the Church, so honourable for the
State, so necessary in regard of the ma
lice of our adversaries, and the defects
and discouragement of our owne for
ces. Other collections have beene ei
ther for private persons or strangers, or
places remote, or matters concerning
some particular occasions. This con
cerneth a generall good, and toucheth
every man both in conscience and ho
nour. Heretofore wee have endevou
red to maintaine Religion, and favour
others abroad, let us not therefore neg
lect our selves, and our owne honour,
profit, and necessary service at home.
Neither let any man thinke it strange,
that a worke of such greatnesse should
be advanced by this weake meanes, or
that a project so necessary should pro
ceed so slowly. Almighty God, albeit
all-sufficient, yet would have his owne
Tabernable built by the voluntary offe
rings of his people. Speake, saith God
to Moyses, Exod. 25. to the children of
Israel, that they receive an offering for me
of every man whose heart giveth it freely.
And Exod. 36. it followeth, and they
brought still unto Moyses free gifts every
morning, and they ceased not untill they
were stayed from offering. King Solomon
likewise was greatly holpen in the buil
ding of the Temple by the contributi
on of his Subjects, as appeareth by the
words of Scriptures, 1 King. 9. 19. fur
ther, by voluntary offerings and contri
butions, the Temple was repaired by
Ioash, 2 King. 12. and by Iosiah, 2 Chron.
34. and this hath beene the use and
practice of ancient times in building,
and endowing most famous Churches,
Colledges, Schooles, and other Monu
ments of Religion and Learning, both
in our owne and other Countries. Our
Adversaries by this course have had
meanes to build many Monasteries and
Colledges, and Schooles for Jesuites
and Friers, as it were propugnacles of
Superstition, Heresie, Idolatry, and
AntichrisThis text has been supplied. Reason: Smudging dating from the original print process. Evidence: The text has been supplied based on evidence internal to this text (context, etc.). (MR)t9s tyranny, to uphold and
make good their owne corruptions in
Religion, and usurpations upon the
Magistrates government, and every
Christian mans liberty. And this have
they done not onely in Europe, but also
in the Indies, and not one in every King
dome, but in the same State divers, and
almost in every great City one. And
shall not this flourishing Kingdome
build and endow one Colledge for the
maintenance of Gods true service, and
the honour of the whole State? It were
a dishonour to our Nation, and the
whole Church and State to thinke
contrary.
The worke we confesse hath hither
to proceeded slowly: And no marvell,
seeing great workes are not easily at
chieved. Noes Arke, Gods Tabernacle
and Temple, and famous Schooles and
Colledges, albeit founded by Kings
and great men, were long in build
ing, and doe we wonder that this Col
lege is not yet finished? further it plea
sed God to deprive us of Prince Henry
our principall hope, and the chiefe
Author of this designe. Lastly, who
knoweth whether God hath appoin
ted these weake meanes to set forward
a great worke, that his power in our
weaknes might have the whole glory?

our bounty how zealous wee are to
maintaine his everlasting Truth, and
root out error and idolatry. Let us by

the maintenance of his truth, that it
may continue to our posterity, God
will uphold our houses, restore to us,
and double it to our posterity. Abra

things we possesse. Our soules and bo

Church of England
The Church of England first came into being in 1534 when King Henry VIII seceded from Rome and declared himselfSupreme Head of the Church of England
by the Act of Supremacy. Queen Mary I repealed this act in 1555. In 1559, as part of what is now known as the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, parliament restored the act and made Queen Elizabeth ISupreme Governor of the Church of England,
a role still held by the British monarch today. The Church of England has been the official Christian church in England since 1559. Its doctrinal position was set out in theThirty-Nine Articles
of 1563 and finalized in 1571, at which point they were incorporated into the Book of Common Prayer that had governed the liturgical form of Church of England services since 1549.Roles played in the project

Former Student Contributors
We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
