To the Reverend Dr. Thomas Ken. Feb. 1. New Stile , 1680. SIR ,

IN or about October last , Mr. Oats represented Me to the King and Council for a Papist ; Prance swore , that he saw me several times at Masse at Somerset-House , about two years before ; But swore withall , that he never see me receive the Sacrament : I was Summoned , Heard , and Acquitted .

Since that time , Some People ( as I am inform'd ) have Sworn , that they have seen me Receive too ; wherein I think my self bound in Conscience and Common Prudence to clear my Self .

Sir , By the Grace of God I purpose to Receive the Blessed Sacrament from your Hand , to morrow ; May it be Life or Death to me as I speak true or false ; May it be to me what the Sop was to Iudas , if either I am , or ever was , or ever pretended to be of the Communion of the Church of Rome .

I never Received the Sacrament from a Romish Priest in my Life ; I never was under the Roof of a Popish Chappel in England , since the King was Restor'd in 1660. I have no Reserve , but intend by this Letter , as I desire you may understand it .

Sir , I am with infinite Reverence for your Function and Esteem for your Friendship and Person ,

Your most affectionate humble Servant , Roger L'Estrange .

L'Estrange Received the Sacrament accordingly , Sir Gabriel Sylvius , Mr. Plot , Mr. Sidney's Secretary , Mr. Blagrave Chaplain to the Princess , Received at the same time .
