ACCOUNT OF TWO CONFERENCES

HELD AT

YORK-HOUSE, IN 1625.

The Second Conference with Mr. Montague
himself, Feb. 17, 1625.*

AFTER two former meetings at York-house, in the presence of the Duke of Buckingham, Pembroke lord-president of the council, Dorset, Bridgwater, Carlisle, Mulgrave, and Secretary Coke, the Lord Say and the Earl of Warwick, opposition was made by my Lord of Lichfield in nine points against Mr. Montague's books, and by Dr. Preston in three; all defended and freely answered by Mr. Montague himself, my Lord of Rochester, Dr. Whyte, and myself (Mr. Cosin), as a poor assistant commanded thither by the duke, by reason I had been so much interested in the business from the beginning.

6. God is not substantially mixed with all things, as the Stoics held.

7. The Church of Rome and ours stand firm upon one and the main foundation.

8. We allow more sacraments than two.
9. The pope is not that great antichrist.
DR. PRESTON.

1. Traditions mentioned in S. Basil (27th disputation) we allow.

2. Arminius was not the cause of all the stirs and broils in the Low Countries.

3. Election and reprobation are not irrespective of &c.
