Amongst his humane frailties, _choler_ and _passion_ most discovered it self. In the _Star-Chamber_ (where if the crime not extraordinary, it was fine enough for one to be sued in so chargable a Court) He was observed always to concur with the severest side, and to infuse more _vinegar_ then _oyle_ into all his _censures_, and also was much blamed for his severity to his Predecessor easing him against his will, and before his time, of his jurisdiction. [Sidenote: Over-medling in State matters.] But he is most accused for over-medling in State-matters, more then was fitting, say many, then needful, say most, for one of his profession. But he never more overshot himself, then when he did impose the _Scotch Liturgie_, and was [Greek: allotrio-archiepis[ko]pos] over a free and forrain Church and Nation. At home, many grumbled at him for oft making the _shallowest_ pretence of the _Crown deep_ enough (by his powerfull digging therein) to drown the undoubted right of any private Patron to a Church-living. But Courtiers most complained, that he persecuted them, not in their proper places, but what in an ordinary way he should have taken from the _hands_ of inferior officers, that He with a _long_ and _strong Arm_ reached to himself over all their heads. Yet others plead for him, that he abridg'd their _bribes_ not _fees_, and it vexed them that He struck their _fingers_ with the _dead-palsie_, so that they could not (as formerly) have a _feeling_ for Church Preferments.... [Sidenote: An enemy to gallantry in Clergiemens cloaths.] He was very plain in apparrel, and sharply checkt such Clergymen whom he saw goe in rich or gaudy cloaths, commonly calling them of the _Church-Triumphant_. Thus as _Cardinal Woolsy_ is reported the first Prelate, who made _Silks_, and _Sattens_ fashionable amongst clergy-men; so this Arch-Bishop first retrenched the usual wearing thereof. Once at a Visitation in _Essex_, one in _Orders_ (of good estate and extraction) appeared before him very gallant in habit, whom D'r _Laud_ (then Bishop of _London_) publickly reproved, shewing to him the plainness of his own apparrel. My _Lord_ (said the Minister) _you have better cloaths at home and I have worse_, whereat the Bishop rested very well contented.... [Sidenote: No whit addicted to covetousness.]
