Alexander had come to Norwich to preach in the old Whitfield Tabernacle in place of Mr. Hooper, one of the tutors at Hoxton Academy. When I went to Norwich he had built a fine chapel in Prince’s Street, and amongst the hearers was Mr.
And whereas it may be objected, that this maketh a subject to be his prince’s judge, he answereth thus. Non se, &c. He maketh not himself another’s judge, who pondereth and examineth a sentence published by another, in so far as it containeth something either to be done or to be believed by him; but only he maketh himself the judge of his own actions.
“Verily, son of Gobryas, I was wrong. You are guileful as a Greek. There can be no higher praise.” The Prince’s nostrils twitched. Perhaps he was not saying all he felt.
Here he was noticed by many great people, but retained all the sobriety and simplicity which he had learned among the Quakers. It is related of him, that, when he was presented at the court of the Prince of Parma, he kept his hat upon his head, even while kissing the Prince’s hand. When he was twenty-five years old, he went to London, and established himself there as an artist.
This the prince’s attendants did, and such clouds of incense arose as to hide him from the unsuspecting soldiers. Thus obscured, he entered a secret passage which led to a large earthen pipe, formerly employed to bring water to the palace. In this he concealed himself until nightfall, and then made his way into the suburbs, where he found shelter in the house of one of his father’s former vassals.
Wherefore, whilst the Bishop taketh the English oath of supremacy to acknowledge the same which he teacheth touching the prince’s power, he giveth it another sense than the words of it can bear; for it saith not that the king’s majesty is the only supreme governor of all his Highness’s dominions, and of all things and causes therein, as well ecclesiastical or spiritual as temporal,—but it saith that he is the only supreme governor of all his Highness’s dominions in all things or causes, &c.
On his way he visited the gentry, partly for amusement, and partly to win popularity; so he called upon Pan Thaddeus Rejtan,152 to-day of holy memory, who was later our deputy from Nowogrodek, and in whose house I grew up from childhood. So Rejtan, on the occasion of the Prince’s coming, had invited guests, and the gentry had gathered in large numbers.
It was in Prince’s Street Chapel I first learned to realize how influential was the Nonconformist public, of which I frankly admit in our little village, with Churchmen all round, I had but a limited idea. It seemed to me that we were rather a puny folk, but at Norwich, with its chapels and pastors and people, I saw another sight. There was the Rev. Opie was still living near the castle, and Mr.
Again Prince Ember assured him that he would remember. The Elf drew closer to him and laid his hand upon the Prince’s arm. “Beware,” he adjured him solemnly, “Beware of the Wind in the Chimney. Against him only the Cloak may not protect you. His eyes are keen to pierce disguises. His hands are strong to break down spells.
Notwithstanding, it is a prince’s duty, “that in the worship of God, whether internal or external, he move nothing, he prescribe nothing, except that which is expressly delivered in God’s own written word.” We must beware we confound not things which have the plain warrant of God’s word with things devised by the will of man.
