Or
,
The
Picture
of
the
Late
King
JAMES
.
SIR
,
THE
Kingdom
in
general
,
and
my self
in
particular
,
having
received
so
many
indearing
Obligations
from
you
,
and
your
Partisans
,
that
I
judge
my self
concerned
to
take
notice
to
you
,
and
your
Friends
at
St.
Germains
,
That
since
you
left
us
,
or
rather
,
by
the
Just
Judgment
of
Heaven
,
that
the
Kingdom
was
departed
from
you
;
you
were
pleased
not
to
forget
us
,
but
from
Year
to
Year
,
till
1693.
you
were
pleased
to
bless
your
old
Friends
with
a
Declaration
,
or
Letter
,
in
which
you
were
pleased
to
express
your self
in
a
different
stile
:
In
some
of
your
Papers
you
write
your
Heart
and
Soul
in
words
at
length
,
and
not
in
figures
;
then
it
's
your
pleasure
that
we
are
to
know
to
what
we
are
to
trust
when
ever
you
shall
return
to
your
Native
Countrey
,
and
enjoy
your
pretended
Right
.
Sometimes
you
intimate
,
as
if
England
were
to
be
the
Field
of
Blood
,
and
that
Man
,
Woman
,
and
Child
,
should
be
a
Sacrifice
to
your
Revenge
,
which
made
your
little
scoundrel
Party
here
to
prick
up
their
Ears
,
and
look
as
if
a
Leg
or
an
Arm
were
not
sufficient
to
appease
your
Wrath
;
or
a
Carts
Arse
,
or
a
Pillory
,
could
not
make
satisfaction
to
your self
,
and
Party
,
for
the
wrong
you
,
and
your
Friends
,
have
suffered
from
us
;
nothing
less
than
death
and
damnation
of
the
Honest
Nobility
,
Gentry
,
and
Commons
of
England
,
can
attone
for
the
delivering
themselves
from
your
Tyranny
,
and
the
Oppression
they
suffered
from
you
,
and
you
Insolent
Party
:
Nay
,
the
poor
Fishermen
,
men
of
Feversham
,
must
not
escape
your
Fury
,
and
Vengeance
.
But
in
your
latter
Papers
you
are
pleased
to
express
your self
in
softer
terms
;
and
the
Vengeance
threatned
in
one
Year's
Papers
is
hushed
up
,
and
fairly
laid
to
sleep
;
and
,
I
remember
,
in
the
last
you
are
pleased
to
give
us
a
French
Grimass
,
and
smile
upon
us
,
as
if
you
were
made
up
of
nothing
but
Grace
,
Mercy
and
Peace
,
and
unparallell'd
Humility
,
in
order
to
create
in
us
a
good
thought
of
the
bitterness
of
death
being
past
,
notwithstanding
you
have
in
some
of
your
former
Papers
given
us
to
understand
,
That
in
regard
you
have
sustained
such
Affronts
from
the
People
of
England
,
you
might
justly
have
proceeded
severely
with
us
;
yet
in
your
younger
Papers
you
think
fit
by
a
more
gentle
Method
to
use
means
to
regain
us
to
your self
,
which
is
the
first
Born
of
all
the
Cunning
you
,
and
your
Friends
at
St.
Germains
,
have
been
pleased
to
bless
this
Nation
withal
.
But
,
Sir
,
it
hath
been
your
will
and
pleasure
not
to
give
your self
the
trouble
of
emitting
any
more
Declarations
of
your
good
Intentions
towards
us
for
these
two
or
three
Years
last
past
;
therefore
I
do
think
fit
to
acquaint
you
,
and
your
Trusty
Friends
and
Councellors
at
your
Court
at
St.
Germains
,
that
are
now
with
you
(
for
I
understand
some
of
your
old
Partisans
have
)
sometime
since
left
you
)
that
you
must
have
but
a
very
mean
and
low
opinion
of
the
English
Nation
,
if
you
think
ever
to
return
hither
again
upon
the
strength
of
your
last
Bantering
Paper
,
called
,
A
Gracious
Declaration
to
all
your
loving
Subjects
:
For
the
People
of
England
have
not
forgot
,
but
very
well
remember
,
That
for
divers
Years
in
the
Reign
of
King
Charles
the
Second
,
your
dear
Brother
,
that
there
was
a
horrid
Design
carried
on
by
him
,
your self
,
and
your
Party
,
to
change
the
Lawful
Government
of
England
into
an
Absolute
Tyranny
,
and
to
convert
the
Established
Protestant
Religion
into
down-right
Popery
,
than
both
which
there
can
be
nothing
more
destructive
,
and
contrary
to
the
Law
and
well-being
of
this
Nation
:
And
whilst
you
your self
was
pleased
to
usurp
the
Throne
,
these
Three
Kingdoms
were
highly
sensible
with
what
violence
you
and
your
wicked
Party
overthrew
our
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Religion
;
and
what
Ruin
and
Vengeance
attended
these
poor
Nations
,
notwithstanding
all
your
Oaths
and
Promises
made
to
the
contrary
,
in
Council
,
and
in
a
Packt
Parliament
,
that
met
in
May
1685.
which
as
bad
as
it
was
,
it
could
not
keep
pace
with
you
,
and
your
Popish
Cut-throats
,
in
your
Intentions
of
enslaving
the
People
of
these
Kingdoms
,
and
of
totally
overturning
our
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Religion
.
Before
I
begin
my
designed
Method
of
laying
before
you
,
yours
,
and
the
Practices
of
your
Accomplices
,
to
put
you
in
mind
of
some
Passages
in
your
Brother's
Reign
,
of
which
the
Parliaments
of
England
had
just
cause
to
complain
,
as
worthy
of
your
Consideration
;
and
when
they
did
address
,
they
found
it
was
to
very
little
,
or
no
purpose
;
for
no
redress
could
be
obtained
from
him
:
And
by
whose
Advice
and
Counsel
such
Misdemeanors
were
committed
,
your self
can
best
tell
that
it
was
your self
.
King
Charles
the
Second
was
no
sooner
restored
,
but
contrary
to
the
Expectation
of
all
those
good
men
that
were
the
Instruments
of
his
Restauration
,
they
found
to
their
sorrow
,
1.
That
Justice
was
corruptly
administred
,
and
Offices
appertaining
to
Justice
dearly
bought
and
sold
.
2.
Benefices
and
Ecclesiastical
Dignities
unworthily
collated
upon
Men
that
deserved
no
other
Titles
than
of
common
Rogues
and
Cheats
;
Men
that
were
many
of
them
unskilful
in
the
Word
of
Righteousness
,
and
others
that
were
Persons
of
unsound
Principles
,
and
of
worse
Morals
;
their
Doctrines
tending
highly
to
enslave
the
Nation
,
and
their
Morals
to
debauch
it
.
This
was
the
Advice
of
an
old
Friend
of
yours
,
and
a
great-Prop
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
Cardinal
Mazarine
,
whose
Counsel
and
Advice
it
was
,
To
debauch
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
and
make
them
Atheists
,
and
then
they
would
be
soon
good
Papists
.
This
was
in
the
Year
1654.
at
which
time
you
,
and
your
Party
,
were
but
at
a
low
ebb
;
but
how
much
you
pursued
the
Counsel
of
the
old
Cardinal
,
I
leave
all
reasonable
and
unbyassed
Men
to
judge
;
and
how
your
sneaking
Eccleastical
Parasites
contributed
towards
it
.
It
is
plain
enough
to
any
man
that
will
look
back
into
those
Times
,
There
was
one
Jones
,
your
Chaplain
,
who
you
ruined
,
because
he
would
have
contributed
to
the
advancing
the
Protestant
Religion
in
your
Family
,
according
to
his
Office
and
Calling
of
a
Minister
in
the
Church
of
God
.
You
may
remember
by
whom
Bishopricks
,
and
other
Ecclesiastical
Dignities
,
were
thus
procured
truly
by
your
Popish
self
,
and
Popish
Whores
;
Popish
Pimps
,
and
Popish
Bowds
;
and
not
without
Money
,
or
some
Promise
to
favour
your
Catholick
Designs
;
and
how
they
suffered
your
quondam
Consort
to
apostatize
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
it
is
well
known
.
But
they
poor
Prelates
are
gone
to
their
Places
,
and
there
let
them
remain
till
God
shall
reckon
with
them
and
others
of
that
Oorder
;
for
betraying
of
God's
Cause
,
which
they
pretended
to
espouse
,
tho
in
truth
they
were
Enemies
to
him
and
his
Gospel
.
3.
In
the
third
place
,
They
saw
new
Impositions
daily
invented
and
levied
,
and
the
Publick
Treasure
of
the
Nation
,
and
the
Revenues
,
prodigally
consum'd
.
Sir
,
you
know
,
how
200000
l.
was
spent
,
and
in
order
to
what
;
and
the
Parties
that
receiv'd
the
same
were
in
a
Conspiracy
against
our
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Religion
:
And
did
not
you
your self
join
in
the
wasting
of
the
King's
Treasure
;
and
procured
great
Summs
of
Money
to
be
issued
out
of
His
Majesty's
Exchequer
to
keep
your
Priests
,
Jesuits
,
Monks
,
and
to
find
your
Irish
Officers
with
Subsistence-money
,
till
that
you
should
have
occasion
to
make
use
of
them
for
those
Ends
and
Purposes
that
might
advance
your
Cause
and
wicked
Purposes
against
the
English
Interest
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
.
Well
therefore
might
you
,
in
your
Speech
to
the
Council
,
Feb.
6.
1684.
call
Charles
the
Second
your
kind
and
loving
Brother
;
for
he
joined
with
you
in
those
wicked
Designs
and
Purposes
which
you
were
carrying
on
to
destroy
and
enslave
us
,
and
too
often
took
your
Faults
upon
himself
,
to
screen
you
from
the
publick
Justice
of
the
Nation
.
4.
They
saw
old
Officers
unjustly
displaced
,
and
men
of
base
Quality
unworthily
advanced
,
by
which
Contrivance
you
,
Sir
,
may
very
well
remember
,
you
created
a
great
disaffection
in
the
King
's
best
Friends
,
both
of
the
old
Nobility
and
Gentry
,
and
others
that
had
espoused
the
King
,
your
Brother's
Quarrel
,
upon
just
English
Principles
;
and
chose
rather
to
advance
a
parcel
of
base
Irish
Papists
,
and
vile
Frenchmen
,
to
the
great
discouragement
of
the
English
,
and
those
that
heartily
would
have
served
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
upon
English
Protestant
Principles
.
It
is
well
known
,
that
some
of
those
you
preferred
were
so
insolent
,
that
when
they
came
to
have
,
and
enjoy
great
Places
in
the
Ministry
of
King
Charles
the
Second's
Government
,
that
they
assumed
to
themselves
,
by
your
direction
,
the
Regal
Power
;
treating
in
Matters
of
War
and
Peace
with
Foreign
Ministers
and
Ambassadors
;
giving
Instructions
to
the
said
King
Charles's
Ministers
abroad
,
without
communicating
them
to
those
that
ought
to
have
been
privy
to
the
same
,
contrary
to
Law
;
and
all
this
I
can
prove
hath
been
done
by
your
direction
.
How
many
honest
Old
Servants
were
displaced
by
the
influence
you
had
on
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
some
are
yet
alive
to
tell
;
especially
those
who
were
well
affected
to
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
in
Parliament
had
appeared
for
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
the
Kingdom
,
in
opposition
to
Popery
and
Slavery
.
5.
They
saw
King
Charles
the
Second
carried
away
with
Vanities
,
and
wholly
governed
by
his
Whores
.
You
may
remember
,
that
some
of
those
Whores
you
your self
put
upon
him
;
as
Jenny
Roberts
,
who
was
in
part
kept
by
you
as
a
Spy
upon
him
;
and
for
this
end
,
at
your
Command
she
turned
Papist
;
and
when
she
could
be
of
no
use
to
you
,
nor
was
constant
to
King
Charles
,
you
and
he
put
her
off
,
and
left
her
to
starve
:
Cleveland
and
Porismouth
,
two
Metropolitan
Whores
that
governed
him
as
they
pleased
;
and
what
Sums
of
Money
(
through
the
ascendency
they
had
over
him
)
they
obtained
from
him
,
I
shall
not
need
to
tell
you
;
and
how
many
Bishopricks
they
disposed
of
,
we
have
not
forgotten
:
And
in
all
this
,
Sir
,
it
is
plain
,
you
promoted
them
to
advance
your
Cause
and
Interest
.
6.
He
entred
into
a
League
with
England's
morta●
Enemies
the
French
;
and
such
strong
Alliances
were
made
with
that
Savage
Prince
,
and
Nimrod
of
Europe
,
by
which
means
we
were
hurt
in
our
Trade
,
and
impaired
in
our
Riches
and
Greatness
;
and
to
effect
this
Work
,
what
Arts
and
Contrivances
you
and
your
Conspirators
did
use
,
by
introducing
French
Whores
,
French
Fashions
and
Customs
,
and
French
Officers
,
and
French
Servants
,
whom
we
have
nourished
and
cherished
with
all
the
Caresses
imaginable
;
and
to
the
meanest
Valet
de
chamber
,
or
Contemptible
Lacquey
or
Fidler
,
who
pretended
to
be
but
alamode
de
France
,
your
Parasites
paid
more
respect
to
,
than
to
our
brave
Englishmen
;
nay
,
so
amorous
too
had
your
fine
,
but
(
debauched
)
Ladies
been
of
a
French
Kick
shaw
,
that
they
have
even
hugged
them
in
their
very
Bosoms
;
and
have
lamented
the
loss
,
tho
but
of
the
meanest
French
Skips
;
witness
the
Tears
that
fell
from
divers
great
Personages
of
the
Feminine
Sex
,
that
on
their
Knees
made
supplication
for
that
insipid
High
way-man
Du
Vall
,
who
at
last
,
though
with
great
difficulty
,
was
hanged
at
Tyburn
for
Robberies
committed
on
the
Highway
.
It
is
true
,
he
was
a
man
of
excellent
Parts
,
and
singular
Learning
,
only
he
could
neither
Write
nor
Read
.
But
had
this
been
all
,
I
should
not
have
mentioned
this
Particular
.
There
wae
more
in
this
then
some
unthinking
men
at
that
time
were
aware
of
;
for
you
,
and
your
Accomplices
made
further
steps
to
maintain
this
strong
Alliance
with
the
French
,
our
mortal
Enemies
;
for
you
did
not
only
introduce
the
Modes
and
Customs
of
France
amongst
us
,
but
the
Yoke
of
France
that
must
be
put
on
too
.
I
have
heard
of
a
cer
certain
Knight
,
called
Sir
James
—
that
in
a
Coffe-house
was
heard
to
say
,
That
it
would
never
be
well
in
England
,
till
our
King
was
as
Absolute
as
the
King
of
France
.
He
was
an
Alderman
of
London
,
and
,
Sir
,
your
very
humble
Admirer
;
and
at
that
time
you
had
made
a
very
gracious
promise
to
him
of
obtaining
of
your
Brother
the
great
Park
near
Dublin
for
him
,
for
the
great
Services
he
had
done
your self
,
and
the
French
Interest
:
And
truly
,
Sir
,
he
hath
deserved
that
Boon
at
your
hands
,
were
it
but
for
the
aforesaid
wise
Saying
of
his
;
and
had
that
Rascal
had
but
Brains
suitable
to
his
Impudence
,
a
man
might
easily
have
taken
him
for
one
of
the
Chief
of
the
Conspirators
with
your self
,
against
the
Religion
,
Laws
,
and
Liberties
of
the
People
of
England
:
This
Fellow
,
I
say
,
was
an
Alderman
of
London
,
and
his
Residence
was
in
the
City
;
but
by
his
Discourse
a
man
would
have
sworn
he
had
always
lived
with
your
Conspirators
at
St.
James's
,
or
at
Whitehall
,
or
with
the
French
Taylor
,
an
old
Companion
of
yours
,
who
thanked
God
,
That
his
great
King
of
France
could
send
for
his
Head
,
and
his
Estate
,
when
he
pleased
.
Blessed
be
God
,
Sir
,
your
Residence
is
in
that
sweet
place
of
St.
Germains
,
where
you
enjoy
your self
,
and
Friends
,
in
a
most
comfortable
manner
;
and
you
have
your
health
as
well
as
if
you
had
100
Sail
of
Ships
at
your
Devotion
,
and
an
Army
of
50000
men
,
which
is
a
mercy
.
I
pray
,
let
me
ask
you
,
What
sort
of
People
are
your
French
Neighbours
?
Is
there
not
such
a
slavish
temper
in
those
poor
Wretches
as
is
astonishing
?
Just
to
such
a
slavish
and
knavish
Temper
you
were
about
to
bring
the
People
of
this
Nation
to
;
your
Conspirators
had
made
a
considerable
progress
in
this
mighty
Work
;
and
had
not
Divine
Providence
interposed
,
you
had
compleated
the
same
:
Your
Party
,
to
compleat
this
Work
,
found
out
the
only
true
way
,
which
was
first
to
enslave
our
Souls
,
by
subjecting
them
;
and
our
Reason
,
to
the
blind
Superstition
of
the
Church
;
for
that
Priest
craft
having
once
so
far
won
upon
Englishmen
,
as
to
make
them
trust
and
pin
their
Faith
and
Reason
upon
their
Sleeves
,
they
may
after
that
bring
them
to
any
thing
that
they
shall
direct
;
and
therefore
,
as
in
your
Day
,
so
in
all
Ages
heretofore
,
nothing
did
shew
more
the
Cunning
of
your
Banditti
,
than
to
drive
on
these
two
together
,
Popery
and
Slavery
;
only
sometimes
they
have
driven
on
the
one
by
the
other
;
sometimes
Popery
led
the
Van
to
bring
on
French
Slavery
,
and
sometimes
French
Slavery
led
the
Van
to
bring
on
Popery
.
Your
Friends
well
knew
that
Popery
and
Slavery
,
like
two
Sisters
,
they
go
hand
in
hand
;
sometimes
one
goes
first
,
and
sometimes
the
other
:
In
England
your
Council
resolved
that
Popery
was
to
bring
in
Slavery
;
in
Scotland
,
Slavery
was
to
have
brought
in
Popery
;
and
this
was
done
by
our
Priests
blind
admonition
to
the
people
,
of
obedience
to
our
Governors
,
be
it
good
they
command
,
or
be
it
evil
;
whatever
they
command
,
it
must
be
obeyed
:
And
what
Nation
soever
came
under
the
misfortune
of
being
robb'd
of
their
Rights
and
Liberties
,
it
was
chiefly
brought
to
pass
by
Priest-craft
,
in
preaching
up
blind
obedience
,
and
extolling
Vicious
Kings
,
and
calling
them
excellent
,
tho
the
vilest
of
Tyrants
,
who
were
riding
Post
to
swallow
them
up
:
This
was
the
Practice
of
our
Pulpit-hunters
in
the
time
of
the
Reign
of
your
Brother
,
and
in
the
beginning
of
your
Usurpation
of
the
Government
;
and
so
they
would
have
done
to
this
day
,
had
not
the
Tythe-pig
been
in
danger
:
Nothing
,
I
say
,
contributed
more
to
the
confirming
and
establishing
the
late
King
your
Brother's
Alliances
with
France
,
as
that
progress
your
Priests
and
Jesuits
made
in
perverting
the
people
,
as
to
their
Religion
;
and
our
Ecclesiastical
Brokers
debauching
their
Morals
by
their
immorality
,
and
looseness
of
living
,
and
enslaving
their
minds
by
their
damnable
Doctrines
of
Passive
Obedience
,
and
Non-resistance
,
and
the
Divine
Right
of
Succession
to
the
Imperial
Crown
of
the
Realm
.
7.
He
being
fully
resolved
to
follow
his
Pleasure
,
he
left
the
Administration
of
the
Three
Kingdoms
to
your self
,
and
Cut-throat
Party
,
who
were
Enemies
to
the
people
of
England
,
and
were
in
a
damnable
Conspiracy
against
his
person
and
Government
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
.
That
he
was
resolved
upon
his
Pleasures
,
you
,
nor
no
man
can
deny
;
and
that
you
had
the
ascendency
of
him
,
it
is
too
plain
and
manifest
to
admit
of
the
least
doubt
or
scruple
:
But
that
which
was
most
wicked
,
you
kept
him
plied
with
those
vile
Wretches
,
who
promoted
that
Vice
in
him
.
And
tho
he
was
the
vilest
of
all
the
Kings
that
went
before
,
for
his
many
Immoralities
;
yet
how
did
his
Ecclesiastical
Parasites
flatter
him
,
and
admire
him
as
a
Prince
of
the
greatest
Virtues
;
a
King
of
Peace
(
they
called
him
)
and
a
King
of
Righteousness
.
I
am
sure
he
engaged
the
Government
in
two
unjust
Wars
against
the
Dutch
;
and
thanks
be
to
God
,
he
was
by
them
worsted
in
both
those
Wars
;
and
it
proved
fatal
to
the
Conspirators
;
for
the
great
Design
of
ruining
the
Dutch
,
was
the
advancement
of
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Power
here
in
England
,
which
you
durst
not
attempt
till
they
were
weakened
;
you
fearing
their
joining
their
Forces
together
to
rescue
us
from
your
damnable
Designs
against
our
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
,
as
you
know
they
did
,
and
that
to
very
good
purpose
;
the
effects
of
which
will
not
be
gotten
out
of
your
old
Bones
as
long
as
you
live
.
Before
I
conclude
this
Head
,
give
me
leave
,
Sir
,
to
observe
,
that
whilst
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
was
swallowed
up
in
his
Pleasures
,
you
,
and
your
Minions
,
did
make
it
your
business
to
beget
in
the
people
a
low
opinion
of
the
method
of
Governing
;
and
by
your
Priests
(
you
taking
opportunity
,
by
reason
of
our
then
villanous
Caterpillars
of
the
Church
countenancing
it
in
a
very
high
manner
)
to
beget
in
the
people
a
mean
opinion
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
Interest
;
and
you
may
remember
you
gained
not
a
few
to
your
Party
:
Therefore
,
when
we
consider
our
danger
,
we
cannot
but
be
astonished
at
our
deliverance
:
For
had
your
Banditti
been
avowed
Papists
,
our
danger
might
more
easily
have
been
conquered
;
for
some
,
nay
the
most
of
them
,
when
the
Test
came
in
force
,
quitted
their
Imployment
at
Court
;
amongst
them
,
Sir
,
your
sweet
self
quitted
the
Office
and
Title
of
Lord
High
Admiral
of
England
;
but
,
Sir
,
you
had
gotten
a
Crew
about
you
,
that
did
undertake
with
you
,
to
ruin
and
destroy
the
Government
,
which
lay
under
no
temptation
of
Religion
;
these
joined
their
Forces
and
Interest
against
King
and
Kingdom
,
and
truly
,
I
think
,
our
greatest
danger
was
from
them
.
You
having
this
fair
opportunity
of
your
Brother's
being
so
addicted
to
his
Pleasures
,
and
he
leaving
the
Administration
of
Affairs
to
you
,
and
your
Hellborn
Crew
;
it
was
a
great
wonder
you
did
not
strike
sooner
,
and
leap
into
the
Chair
an
Age
or
two
before
the
time
you
did
:
It
's
certain
you
came
not
in
without
Murther
,
and
Murther
would
have
been
but
Murther
if
it
had
been
done
ten
or
a
dozen
years
before
.
Truly
,
tho
you
had
Villains
that
one
would
have
thought
were
bad
enough
,
yet
you
had
not
enough
for
so
black
a
Design
,
as
the
overthrow
of
the
Government
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
;
they
were
not
,
I
say
,
ripe
enough
;
your
Popish
Party
at
home
were
keen
enough
,
but
they
wanted
a
good
back
to
their
edge
;
therefore
,
Sir
,
you
fearing
your
strength
at
home
,
you
applied
you
self
abroad
to
the
French
King
,
he
being
indowed
with
all
those
Qualities
,
which
in
a
Prince
may
pass
for
Vertues
,
but
in
any
man
of
a
private
Station
,
they
would
be
capital
:
He
being
a
Champion
for
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Power
,
with
him
you
joined
to
ruin
the
Government
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
,
your
damnable
Conspiracy
being
a
Project
every
way
suitable
to
the
Inclination
and
Interest
of
that
Bloody
Monster
of
Mankind
.
You
may
remember
the
Trayterous
Correspondencies
you
maintained
with
him
,
and
he
with
you
,
by
your
most
Excellent
Secretary
Coleman
,
who
you
honestly
left
to
be
hanged
for
that
great
piece
of
secret
Service
he
did
you
in
that
time
.
8.
We
well
remember
how
careless
he
was
in
the
maintenance
of
our
Religion
.
Truly
when
Princes
are
given
up
to
their
Pleasures
,
it
is
no
great
matter
what
Religion
they
profess
;
you
may
well
call
to
mind
what
breaches
you
and
your
Party
made
upon
our
Religion
through
his
carelesness
and
remisness
;
how
you
advanced
the
Popish
Interest
,
and
discountenanced
the
Protestants
;
and
as
your
Secretary
Coleman
observed
,
that
you
would
not
forget
the
Tricks
the
Parliament
of
England
had
playd
with
you
;
so
we
cannot
but
remember
what
Tricks
you
plaid
with
us
;
for
it
is
plain
,
that
there
was
not
a
considerable
Preferment
in
the
Church
that
fell
,
but
either
he
that
was
preferred
was
one
of
no
Religion
,
or
else
that
which
was
worse
,
he
was
a
person
that
engaged
in
your
unrighteous
Cause
and
Quarrel
.
Sir
,
by
your
means
,
and
the
means
of
your
Partisans
,
such
men
were
made
use
of
in
the
Church
,
that
through
the
ignorance
and
insufficiency
of
some
of
them
,
and
oscitancy
and
remisness
of
others
,
to
whom
the
Guardianship
of
her
was
committed
,
our
Religion
and
Worship
became
lamentably
dismantled
,
misfigured
and
defaced
,
and
this
well
nigh
in
all
the
integral
and
principal
parts
of
it
(
more
or
less
)
;
insomuch
,
that
a
man
that
understands
the
Doctrines
,
and
holy
Intentions
of
our
first
Reformers
from
the
Synagogue
of
Rome
,
and
shall
compare
things
with
things
,
could
,
nor
yet
can
hardly
be
able
to
say
this
is
the
Protestant
Religion
.
But
how
can
any
man
wonder
that
King
Charles
the
Second
should
be
careless
in
the
support
and
maintenance
of
our
Reformed
Religion
,
since
that
he
was
in
his
heart
and
soul
engaged
to
the
Doctrines
and
Communion
of
the
Church
of
Rome
;
witness
his
being
reconciled
to
that
Church
by
Father
Richard
Huddleston
,
who
was
related
to
John
Huddleston
,
of
whom
the
said
King
Charles
had
such
a
tender
care
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
Receiv'd
the
Sacrament
from
Father
Ireland
the
Jesuit
,
in
the
Duchess
of
Portsmouth's
Lodgings
,
and
the
same
day
afterwards
he
receiv'd
it
according
to
the
Usage
of
the
Church
of
England
,
it
being
the
Sunday
called
Easter-day
.
In
the
last
place
,
witness
those
Papers
that
were
found
under
his
own
hand
in
his
Strong
Box
,
all
which
testify
his
inclinations
were
bent
that
way
;
and
therefore
how
can
any
man
wonder
at
his
being
careless
of
supporting
the
Protestant
Religion
.
Nay
,
Sir
,
I
must
not
forget
one
Instance
more
of
his
being
of
the
Romish
Persuasion
;
that
is
,
that
most
Excellent
Memorial
that
he
put
in
by
his
Protestant
Envoy
to
the
Court
at
Poland
;
wherein
there
was
a
passage
to
this
effect
,
That
he
had
a
great
Esteem
of
the
Roman-Catholick
and
Apostolick
Religion
,
as
being
most
consistent
with
Monarchy
;
give
me
leave
to
Cite
a
passage
of
a
Letter
of
his
to
the
Governor
of
St.
Omers
,
when
it
was
by
Conquest
reduced
to
the
Obedience
of
the
French
King
;
which
was
,
That
he
should
take
care
of
the
Jesuits
according
to
the
Contract
he
had
made
with
his
Master
,
they
being
men
upon
whom
the
hopes
of
England
did
depend
.
Give
me
leave
,
Sir
,
to
put
you
in
mind
of
his
promises
he
made
to
the
Jesuits
in
Spain
after
he
was
reconciled
to
the
Church
of
Rome
(
upon
their
Contributing
Three
thousand
Pistols
for
his
support
)
of
restoring
the
Catholick
Religion
when
ever
he
should
come
to
the
Enjoyment
of
his
Right
in
England
;
and
not
only
to
them
,
but
to
the
Nuns
in
Ghent
when
he
borrowed
Money
of
them
,
for
which
they
waited
several
Years
;
Then
I
say
,
he
declared
he
would
restore
their
Religion
when
ever
he
should
come
to
his
Right
.
When
the
Princess
Henrietta
came
to
Dover
,
you
know
what
her
Errand
was
to
press
the
King
to
restore
the
Romish
Religion
here
in
England
;
and
that
the
breach
of
the
Peace
with
the
Dutch
was
then
and
there
contrived
by
you
and
your
Conspirators
and
consented
to
by
the
King
,
and
all
in
order
to
the
reducing
those
State
to
the
Catholick
Faith
:
And
it
was
determined
to
begin
the
Publick
Exercise
of
the
Romish
Religion
in
Ireland
;
and
to
facilitate
that
work
,
you
may
well
remember
who
was
sent
over
Lord
Lieutenant
.
Upon
all
these
Considerations
a
Man
may
not
now
wonder
at
King
Charles's
carelesness
in
the
Support
and
Maintenance
of
the
Protestant
Religion
.
You
well
remember
that
you
your self
and
your
other
Conspirators
had
begot
in
the
King
your
Brother
a
full
persuasion
of
the
Truth
of
this
Proposition
,
That
the
Roman-Catholicks
were
the
greatest
favourers
of
Monarchy
;
therefore
in
his
Letter
to
the
French
King
,
bearing
Date
June
1676.
that
he
resolved
to
be
like
his
Neighbours
in
Religion
;
but
you
know
that
he
was
prevented
by
the
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Parliament
,
for
which
you
were
pleased
to
tell
Father
Lacheise
,
in
your
Letter
of
July
.
1676.
that
the
Lord
Arlington
and
others
by
a
Thousand
deceits
endeavoured
to
break
the
good
Intelligence
that
was
betwixt
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
and
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
and
your self
,
to
the
end
they
might
deceive
you
all
Three
;
and
therefore
the
Parliament
,
and
the
said
Lord
Arlington
and
his
party
were
by
you
declared
in
that
Letter
as
useless
and
dangerous
,
for
that
the
said
Arlington
and
his
Friends
did
work
incessantly
to
advance
the
Interest
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
and
the
Dutch
,
and
to
lessen
the
Interest
of
the
French
King
.
Now
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
being
a
man
unsteady
in
his
resolutions
,
he
sometimes
failed
your
Brother
of
France
,
as
well
as
your self
,
and
other
Conspirators
.
9.
We
in
his
Life-time
saw
there
was
no
likelihood
of
his
having
any
legitimate
Issue
to
Succeed
him
in
the
Government
;
Truly
,
Sir
,
I
think
I
may
say
that
was
contrived
by
your
Father
Clarendon
,
and
your self
,
and
in
it
you
intended
the
hurt
of
the
People
of
England
;
but
God
,
who
governs
the
World
,
hath
made
his
want
of
legitimate
Issue
to
be
the
greatest
Blessing
that
ever
England
saw
;
for
by
that
means
we
have
a
King
that
well
knows
that
it
is
most
certain
and
evident
to
all
men
,
that
the
publick
Peace
and
Happiness
of
any
State
or
Kingdom
,
cannot
be
preserved
where
the
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Customs
Established
by
the
Lawful
Authority
in
it
are
openly
Transgressed
and
Annulled
;
more
especially
when
the
alteration
of
Religion
is
endeavoured
,
and
that
a
Religion
which
is
contrary
to
Law
is
endeavoured
to
be
introduced
:
Upon
which
,
those
who
are
immediately
concerned
in
it
are
indispensably
bound
to
endeavour
to
Preserve
and
Maintain
the
Established
Laws
,
Liberties
and
Customs
,
and
above
all
the
Religion
and
Worship
of
God
that
is
Established
among
them
;
and
to
take
such
an
effectual
care
that
the
Inhabitants
in
that
State
or
Kingdom
may
not
be
deprived
of
their
Religion
,
nor
of
their
Civil
Rights
,
which
is
so
much
the
more
necessary
,
because
the
Greatness
and
Security
both
of
Kings
and
Royal
Families
,
and
of
all
such
as
are
in
Authority
,
as
well
as
the
Happiness
of
their
Subjects
and
People
,
depend
in
a
most
especial
manner
upon
the
exact
Observation
and
Maintenance
of
these
their
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Customs
.
This
,
Sir
,
is
the
Sentiment
and
Blessed
Resolution
of
King
William
;
and
this
he
and
his
Ministers
put
in
Execution
,
which
is
a
blessed
Change
,
which
we
could
not
have
lived
to
enjoy
,
had
Charles
your
Brother
left
any
Issue
behind
him
that
had
been
capable
of
the
Crown
;
but
that
which
you
contrived
for
our
Mischief
,
is
turned
to
our
greatest
Good
,
for
we
have
the
best
of
Kings
upon
the
Throne
,
and
the
worst
of
Men
taking
of
the
Air
at
St.
Germains
.
10.
The
late
King
Charles
,
your
Brother
,
did
obstinately
refuse
to
enter
into
a
League
with
those
who
intended
to
uphold
and
maintain
the
Protestant
Religion
:
This
I
must
say
of
the
Dutch
,
that
ever
since
they
delivered
themselves
from
the
intollerable
Yoke
of
the
Crown
of
Spain
,
their
great
aim
and
design
hath
been
to
promote
the
Interest
of
the
Reformed
Religion
,
and
have
endeavoured
to
make
Alliances
with
those
Princes
that
were
,
and
are
of
the
Reformed
Religion
,
and
have
endeavoured
to
make
good
these
Alliances
;
but
how
King
Charles
your
Brother
,
your self
,
and
the
rest
of
your
Partisans
,
treated
the
Dutch
ever
since
his
Restoration
to
the
Crown
,
it
is
well
known
,
and
how
he
in
the
compass
of
Ten
years
made
Two
ungodly
Wars
;
but
as
I
said
before
,
I
must
say
again
,
The
Dutch
did
most
commonly
send
us
home
with
broken
bones
.
Our
Cause
was
Wicked
,
and
God
gave
us
Success
suitable
thereunto
;
and
for
what
ends
and
purposes
these
Wars
were
made
,
you
,
and
your
most
Christian
Brother
can
very
well
tell
;
but
least
,
Sir
,
you
should
have
forgotten
those
Wars
,
give
me
leave
to
give
you
a
brief
note
of
them
.
In
the
year
1665.
it
is
well
known
that
a
War
was
made
upon
the
Dutch
;
I
could
wish
it
were
as
well
remembred
what
the
provocation
was
that
occasioned
it
,
and
what
success
it
had
.
I
think
,
Sir
,
as
I
said
just
now
,
the
success
was
suitable
;
in
the
first
fight
you
had
the
Command
of
the
Fleet
;
and
truly
it
was
a
Victory
you
obtained
;
but
how
came
we
of
at
Bergon
,
and
how
in
the
year
1666.
when
Monk
had
the
Command
?
your
Conspirators
got
vast
supplies
from
your
Band
of
Pensioners
for
the
defraying
the
charge
of
this
wicked
War
,
yet
after
all
there
was
no
Fleet
set
out
in
the
year
1667.
but
the
Flower
of
the
Royal
Navy
burnt
or
taken
in
Port
to
save
charges
;
but
you
know
your
Brother
and
your self
had
good
health
of
Body
at
Bruxelles
,
when
you
had
no
Ships
,
and
therefore
you
were
the
less
concerned
.
But
that
which
is
the
greatest
Riddle
to
some
of
your
Conspirators
,
Why
the
French
should
at
that
time
a
day
join
with
the
Dutch
against
England
?
Therefore
be
pleased
to
remember
that
the
French
did
not
join
with
the
Dutch
to
Support
and
Maintain
the
Protestant
Religion
,
or
to
advance
the
Interest
of
the
Dutch
;
but
whilst
he
was
in
Friendship
with
the
Dutch
,
he
had
an
interrupted
leisure
(
tho'
contrary
to
all
Oaths
and
Treaties
)
whilst
the
Dutch
and
we
were
embroiled
to
Invade
the
Spanish
Netherlands
,
which
had
been
by
Wise
men
considered
as
the
natural
Frontier
of
England
,
and
took
a
great
part
of
it
.
The
Dutch
could
not
oppose
him
because
of
the
pretended
Alliance
;
We
could
not
interpose
because
we
were
engaged
both
against
the
Dutch
,
Dane
,
and
France
,
so
he
went
forth
Conquering
,
and
to
Conquer
that
part
of
the
Dominion
of
Spain
,
to
whom
,
Sir
,
your
Brother
and
your self
were
very
much
obliged
when
never
a
Prince
in
all
Europe
durst
own
you
,
he
did
;
and
how
basely
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
and
Conspirators
have
treated
him
,
let
all
Europe
judge
.
But
what
was
the
reason
we
had
not
a
Fleet
set
out
in
the
year
1667.
since
such
large
Supplies
were
obtained
for
to
carry
on
this
ungodly
War
against
the
Dutch
?
The
reason
was
this
;
notwithstanding
he
had
joined
with
the
Dutch
against
us
,
yet
by
the
Credit
he
had
with
the
Queen
your
Mother
,
he
by
her
so
far
deluded
the
King
your
Brother
,
that
upon
the
assurance
the
Dutch
would
not
have
any
Fleet
out
that
year
,
he
forbore
to
make
ready
,
and
so
incurred
that
notable
loss
and
disgrace
at
Chatham
.
This
was
the
fatal
end
of
all
our
Sea-undertakings
against
the
Dutch
for
that
War
;
and
as
the
French
King
,
and
your self
,
and
Conspirators
were
the
persons
to
whom
we
were
much
obliged
for
that
War
,
so
we
were
glad
to
receive
Peace
from
his
favour
,
which
was
agreed
at
Breda
betwixt
England
,
France
,
and
Holland
.
Well
,
what
was
the
Event
of
this
Peace
,
which
,
if
I
am
not
out
,
we
were
forced
to
pay
for
it
,
for
we
stood
in
need
of
it
,
and
the
Dutch
stood
in
need
of
our
Money
,
which
they
had
;
but
the
Event
of
this
War
brought
the
King
to
some
little
consideration
,
of
which
he
was
seldom
guilty
,
for
he
saw
that
the
French
King
had
in
the
year
1667.
taken
the
time
of
us
;
and
whilst
we
were
both
made
weak
,
he
had
play'd
his
Pranks
in
the
Spanish
Netherlands
,
hereupon
he
judgeth
it
necessary
to
interpose
before
the
flame
that
consumed
his
next
Neighbour
should
throw
its
Sparkles
over
the
Herring-Pond
and
affect
him
.
Therefore
,
he
having
some
good
Counsellors
about
him
(
you
may
well
remember
,
that
neither
you
,
nor
your
Conspirators
,
had
any
hand
in
this
affair
)
he
generously
slighted
all
Punctilios
of
Ceremony
,
or
Piques
of
Animosity
,
for
being
so
well
beaten
,
and
so
horribly
disgraced
:
He
sent
first
into
Holland
,
and
invites
them
to
a
nearer
Alliance
,
and
to
enter
into
such
farther
Counsels
as
were
most
proper
to
quiet
this
publick
disturbance
the
French
had
raised
.
This
work
was
wholly
designed
by
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
and
those
few
honest
Counsellors
he
had
left
him
;
and
it
being
so
good
a
work
,
it
did
succeed
;
accordingly
you
by
this
,
Sir
,
may
see
what
felicity
attends
that
King
who
follows
the
Counsels
of
Honest
Wise
Men
,
and
excludes
the
corrupt
Politicks
of
Rogues
that
aim
at
nothing
but
the
advancement
of
themselves
and
Families
,
tho'
it
be
upon
the
ruin
of
their
Countrey
;
for
it
is
a
thing
scarce
credible
,
tho'
very
true
,
that
two
Treaties
of
such
Weight
and
Intricacy
,
and
various
aspect
as
that
of
the
Defensive
League
with
Holland
,
and
the
other
for
repressing
of
the
further
Progress
of
the
French
in
the
Spanish
Netherlands
,
should
in
five
days
time
in
the
year
1668
be
concluded
,
when
yours
,
and
the
Politicks
of
your
Conspirators
were
excluded
.
Such
was
the
secresy
and
expedition
then
used
in
prosecuting
the
King
,
your
Brother's
,
Instruction
;
and
so
easy
a
thing
it
is
for
Princes
when
they
have
a
mind
to
it
,
to
be
well
served
.
You
may
remember
that
the
Swede
also
shortly
made
the
third
in
this
Consort
,
whether
wisely
judging
that
in
the
Minority
of
their
King
Reigning
over
late
acquired
Dominions
,
it
was
their
true
Interest
to
have
their
hands
in
all
the
Councils
that
tended
to
Peace
and
Undisturbed
Possession
:
Or
whether
indeed
those
Ministers
,
like
ours
,
did
even
project
in
so
glorious
an
Alliance
to
betray
it
afterward
to
their
own
greater
advantage
,
from
their
joining
in
it
,
it
was
called
the
Tripple
Alliance
;
the
King
,
you
know
,
was
so
fond
of
it
,
that
he
ceased
not
to
sollicite
other
Princes
,
according
to
the
Seventh
Article
of
that
Treaty
,
to
come
into
the
Guaranty
of
the
same
,
and
he
extremely
for
a
time
delighted
himself
in
cultivating
by
all
good
means
what
he
by
the
Counsel
of
some
good
men
had
so
happily
planted
;
and
what
satisfaction
this
Tripple
League
so
made
,
gave
to
the
English
Nation
,
and
how
it
did
charm
the
more
ready
Votes
of
the
House
of
Commons
into
a
Supply
,
and
justify
the
necessity
of
it
in
the
very
face
of
the
whole
Kingdom
:
For
it
was
of
so
good
report
,
and
so
generally
acceptable
to
the
Protestant
Party
,
as
being
a
Hook
in
the
French
Nostrils
,
that
the
Pensionary
Parliament
(
who
were
wont
,
whether
it
were
for
War
or
Peace
to
make
the
Nation
pay
for
it
)
could
not
have
desired
a
fairer
pretence
to
colour
their
Liberality
.
You
know
,
Sir
,
what
vast
sums
were
obtained
and
lavished
in
the
first
War
with
Holland
;
that
Parliament
in
the
Month
of
April
1670.
giving
the
Additional
Duties
upon
Wines
for
eight
years
,
which
did
amount
to
Five
hundred
and
Sixty
thousand
pounds
,
and
confirmed
the
sale
of
the
Fee-Farm
Rents
,
which
was
no
less
their
gift
,
being
a
part
of
the
publick
Revenue
,
to
the
value
of
Eighteen
hundred
thousand
pounds
;
nay
,
not
only
so
,
but
they
met
again
upon
the
24th
of
October
in
the
year
1670.
and
upon
the
Speech
of
the
Lord
Keeper
Bridgman
,
who
telling
the
Parliament
what
a
multitude
of
Beneficial
Leagues
the
King
had
made
,
and
naming
to
them
the
Tripple
League
,
they
could
no
longer
hold
,
gave
again
a
Subsidy
of
One
shilling
in
the
pound
,
to
the
real
value
of
all
Lands
,
and
other
Estates
proportionably
,
with
several
more
Beneficial
Clauses
into
the
Bargain
,
to
begin
the
24th
of
June
,
1671.
and
to
expire
the
24th
of
June
1672.
together
with
this
they
gave
the
additional
Excise
upon
Beer
and
Ale
for
Six
years
,
to
reckon
the
same
from
June
the
24th
.
1671.
And
lastly
,
the
Law-Bill
commencing
from
the
first
of
May
,
1671.
and
at
nine
years
end
to
determine
.
If
you
,
now
you
are
at
leisure
,
will
cast
up
these
Three
Bills
,
you
will
find
them
not
a
penny
less
than
2500000
l.
Thus
,
Sir
,
you
may
see
what
a
Reputation
this
Tripple
League
gave
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
both
at
home
and
abroad
;
at
home
this
Triple
League
obtained
a
Tripple
supply
,
which
some
men
thought
would
as
with
three
Golden
Nails
have
revetted
it
.
All
the
Princes
of
Europe
courted
him
abroad
,
and
were
highly
pleased
with
it
;
the
Emperor
used
all
the
pressing
means
that
became
him
,
that
he
might
partake
of
the
benefit
of
that
Alliance
,
and
was
refused
.
The
Duke
of
Lorain
,
who
had
been
always
a
true
Friend
to
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
and
by
his
affection
to
the
Tripple
League
,
did
incur
the
displeasure
of
the
French
King
,
and
lost
his
whole
Territory
:
It
was
seized
in
the
Year
1669.
against
all
Laws
,
not
only
of
Peace
,
but
of
Hostility
too
,
because
of
his
not
being
admitted
into
the
Alliance
;
for
which
he
had
so
great
a
regard
,
that
the
honour
he
had
for
it
proved
fatal
to
him
;
he
was
left
by
your
means
to
be
a
Sacrifice
,
notwithstanding
King
Charles's
Invitation
of
all
Princes
to
come
in
;
yet
when
they
desired
to
be
admitted
,
they
were
refused
.
But
in
a
short
time
,
all
those
Honest
Counsels
which
had
taken
effect
with
so
great
satisfaction
to
the
Nation
,
and
to
the
great
honour
of
your
Brother
,
were
all
changed
;
just
as
if
Treaties
,
as
soon
as
the
Wax
is
cold
,
do
lose
their
vertue
;
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
went
down
to
Dover
in
the
Month
of
June
,
1670.
to
meet
,
after
a
long
Absence
,
Madam
,
his
,
and
your
only
remaining
Sister
;
and
if
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
and
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
were
alive
,
they
could
tell
what
a
pleasant
Meeting
they
had
,
and
how
pleasantly
they
passed
the
time
of
the
interview
;
and
what
passed
I
shall
not
now
relate
,
you
knowing
all
of
it
well
enough
:
But
as
the
days
were
the
more
pleasant
,
because
the
King
had
not
seen
her
for
a
long
season
;
so
the
Interview
proved
fatal
to
that
Princess
;
for
though
she
left
England
in
good
health
,
yet
upon
her
arrival
in
France
,
she
suddenly
expires
.
Well
then
,
she
dies
,
what
was
the
consequence
of
her
death
?
The
Marquess
Belfonds
is
immediately
dispatched
hither
,
and
a
Person
of
great
Honour
sent
to
the
Court
of
France
;
and
before
ever
the
inquiry
and
grumbling
at
her
death
was
over
,
in
a
trice
there
was
an
invisible
League
,
in
prejudice
of
the
Tripple
one
,
struck
up
with
France
,
to
all
the
height
and
dearness
of
affection
;
as
if
upon
diffecting
the
Princess
,
there
had
been
some
State-Philtre
been
found
in
her
Bowels
,
or
the
Reconciliation
with
France
were
not
to
be
celebrated
with
a
less
Sacrifice
than
the
Blood
Royal
of
England
.
The
sequel
of
this
Interview
was
fatal
to
the
Princess
;
and
the
consequence
of
her
coming
was
fatal
to
England
;
for
as
the
Treaty
was
a
work
of
darkness
,
and
could
not
presently
be
discovered
;
so
the
Parliament
,
I
told
you
,
must
meet
again
,
to
give
a
Tripple
Supply
to
maintain
the
Tripple
League
;
and
they
being
ignorant
of
what
was
done
,
thinking
all
had
been
secure
,
gave
the
aforesaid
supply
.
Sir
,
You
got
the
Supply
;
what
use
did
your
Conspiritors
make
of
it
?
Was
not
the
Parliament
prorogued
,
and
met
not
again
till
the
4th
of
Febr.
1672.
by
which
means
you
,
and
your
Accomplices
,
had
a
convenient
scope
for
the
mighty
work
you
had
upon
your
hands
to
ruin
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
Professors
thereof
;
and
that
you
might
be
free
from
the
inspection
of
a
Parliament
till
this
mighty
Work
was
finished
,
I
observed
to
you
,
That
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
before
the
Interview
,
was
inciting
of
the
Princes
to
come
into
the
Alliance
,
but
from
hence
forward
it
ceased
;
and
,
as
I
said
before
,
when
any
did
offer
themselves
,
they
were
basely
refused
.
Oh!
what
joy
,
Sir
,
you
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
,
did
conceive
!
with
what
diligence
was
Smith
,
the
Jesuits
Agent
in
London
,
dispatched
over
to
St.
Omers
to
acquaint
your
Friends
there
of
the
English
Jesuits
;
and
from
thence
to
Doway
,
to
acquaint
the
Crew
there
in
what
a
happy
way
you
were
in
to
do
the
Catholick
Religion
service
,
and
that
the
King
was
clearly
come
over
;
he
having
promised
to
do
all
things
now
that
might
tend
to
the
destroying
of
the
Interest
of
the
Dutch
,
and
to
advance
the
Power
and
Interest
of
France
;
and
if
that
the
Tripple
League
were
once
dissolved
,
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
would
never
more
make
any
such
Alliance
with
those
Rebels
.
I
have
seen
your
Letters
dispatched
by
the
said
Smith
:
You
indeed
,
with
the
help
of
your
Hellish
Crew
,
your
Brother
being
gained
to
your
side
in
this
particular
you
resolve
upon
the
annulling
of
that
Alliance
,
which
was
of
very
little
use
;
for
some
time
before
it
was
totally
dissolved
.
In
order
to
the
dissolving
this
Treaty
,
old
Henry
Coventry
,
one
of
your
Conspir●tors
,
was
dispatched
to
the
Court
of
Sweden
;
and
he
with
as
much
impudence
as
truth
,
affirmed
at
his
departure
,
That
the
end
of
his
Journey
to
Sweden
was
to
break
the
Tripple
League
;
and
this
is
apparent
,
that
after
his
jugling
with
the
French
Ministers
there
,
and
the
King
of
Sweden
,
the
said
King
did
never
more
prosecute
the
Design
and
ends
of
that
Alliance
,
until
the
breach
between
us
and
the
Dutch
;
What
,
did
he
arm
himself
at
the
expence
of
the
League
,
and
did
first
,
under
the
disguise
of
a
Mediation
,
act
the
French
Interest
,
and
at
last
he
threw
off
the
Vizor
,
and
drew
his
Sword
in
their
Quarrel
.
Truly
,
Sir
,
I
cannot
but
admire
how
successful
you
were
in
gaining
that
great
Point
of
ruining
Europe
in
general
,
and
this
Nation
in
particular
;
by
this
way
designing
the
utter
subversion
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
all
our
English
Liberties
,
as
I
shall
shew
you
in
the
sequel
of
this
Memento
:
Nevertheless
,
I
cannot
but
much
more
admire
,
that
Mr.
Coventry
,
that
in
his
Embassy
at
Breda
was
so
instrumental
in
putting
a
period
to
that
first
wicked
and
unfortunate
War
with
the
Dutch
,
should
at
length
be
made
a
Tool
of
a
Second
,
and
break
such
an
Alliance
as
rendered
England
honourable
to
all
Europe
,
and
by
which
all
Christendom
was
fastened
:
And
that
which
rendered
his
Carriage
in
that
Affair
more
vile
and
base
,
since
no
man
understood
the
Theory
and
Practick
of
Honour
better
than
himself
,
and
yet
could
in
so
eminent
an
Instance
forget
it
,
and
himself
too
,
the
imployment
being
more
fit
for
a
Butler
,
or
a
Downing
,
or
some
such
Dunghil
Rascal
;
all
that
I
shall
say
in
his
excuse
,
is
,
that
upon
his
return
he
was
made
a
Secretary
of
State
by
your
procurement
,
for
such
a
set
of
Devilish
Services
that
he
had
done
for
the
French
King
,
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
your self
;
by
this
means
he
had
made
a
Tripple
Confederacy
to
ruin
us
,
in
opposition
to
a
Tripple
League
that
might
have
preserved
us
,
and
all
Europe
in
perfect
peace
.
If
my
poor
Judgment
might
pass
,
Mr.
Conventry
,
if
he
had
continued
an
honest
Gentleman
,
he
might
have
been
an
Instrument
of
good
to
Europe
,
and
more
honourable
here
at
home
.
But
this
Gentleman
was
not
the
only
Sinner
that
was
imployed
in
the
Devil's
Service
;
for
Sir
William
Lockyard
,
and
several
others
,
were
dispatched
to
other
Courts
upon
the
same
Errand
.
This
Lockyard
was
grown
as
great
a
Villain
as
your
heart
and
soul
could
desire
;
and
had
in
the
basest
manner
prostituted
himself
to
do
your
Popish
Drudgery
;
and
would
have
gone
along
with
it
to
the
utmost
tedder
of
your
Designs
.
Well
then
,
what
was
next
to
be
done
?
Your
Designs
looked
with
as
fair
an
aspect
as
your
heart
and
soul
could
desire
:
You
had
France
,
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
linked
together
,
that
a
man
would
have
thought
you
could
not
have
been
parted
;
what
then
is
the
next
Intention
?
truly
a
War
with
the
Dutch
;
and
that
you
might
reasonably
expect
,
for
all
your
Affairs
were
disposed
towards
it
.
Here
,
Sir
,
I
must
remind
you
of
two
things
.
1.
What
you
did
to
procure
a
War
.
2.
What
you
did
to
carry
on
that
second
wicked
War
.
1.
What
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
did
,
to
procure
a
War
with
the
Dutch.
For
it
cannot
be
conceived
,
that
after
the
King
had
made
so
firm
a
League
with
the
States-General
of
the
Vnited
Provinces
,
but
that
therefore
you
,
and
your
Councellors
must
have
some
fair
Pretence
for
breaking
with
them
;
or
else
to
spill
so
much
Blood
,
and
spend
so
much
Treasure
without
cause
,
must
occasion
your
Neighbours
to
think
you
were
men
that
would
keep
no
Faith
,
or
that
you
did
not
understand
your
own
Interest
;
nay
,
they
must
have
thought
the
same
of
all
the
English
Nation
;
but
that
they
well
knew
,
that
this
second
,
as
well
as
the
first
War
,
was
against
the
Judgment
,
and
Genius
,
and
Interest
of
the
Nation
in
general
.
But
a
War
you
would
have
:
And
therefore
,
1.
You
set
up
a
Si
quis
,
if
any
one
could
give
Evidence
for
you
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
,
against
the
Dutch
,
let
them
come
forth
,
and
they
should
be
heard
;
therefore
an
O
yes
was
made
,
and
the
East-India
Company
was
sent
for
,
to
know
what
they
had
to
say
against
the
Dutch
;
but
the
Dutch
had
so
punctually
performed
the
Treaty
at
Breda
,
and
especially
as
to
the
honour
of
the
Flag
that
nothing
could
be
objected
against
them
;
so
here
you
failed
of
your
aims
of
picking
a
quarrel
with
them
.
2.
You
would
have
quarrelled
with
them
for
having
their
Fleet
abroad
;
tho
that
Objection
vanished
,
their
Fleet
was
upon
their
own
Coasts
,
pursuant
to
the
Tripple
League
,
and
in
prosecution
of
that
Treaty
;
so
,
Sir
,
you
failed
here
.
But
what
then
?
you
was
resolved
upon
a
War
,
and
therefore
you
would
not
leave
one
Stone
unturned
,
but
you
would
find
some
cause
or
another
to
ruin
,
if
it
had
been
in
your
power
,
that
Protestant
State
.
3.
You
were
put
upon
a
third
Experiment
;
to
commence
a
War
,
and
to
make
a
Case
which
never
happened
before
,
or
could
have
been
imagined
by
any
sober
man
,
you
had
a
pimping
Yatcht
,
which
you
caused
to
bear
an
English
Jack
in
the
Month
of
August
,
1671.
which
you
ordered
to
sail
into
the
midst
of
the
Dutch
Fleet
,
and
singled
out
the
Admiral
,
and
shot
twice
at
him
;
which
Action
was
certainly
very
ridiculous
and
unnatural
,
as
for
a
Lark
to
adventure
upon
a
Hawk
:
Notwithstanding
this
impudent
Action
of
the
Commander
of
the
Scoundrel
Boat
,
the
Admiral
,
in
respect
to
his
Majesty's
Colours
,
paid
our
Yatch-Admiral
a
visit
,
to
know
the
reason
of
such
a
Carriage
,
found
it
was
because
the
Dutch
had
refused
to
strike
Sail
to
his
little
Bum-boat
;
the
Dutch
Admiral
excused
the
matter
with
all
the
civility
that
could
be
desired
,
it
being
a
Case
of
the
first
impression
;
and
therefore
he
could
have
no
Instructions
as
to
that
Point
;
and
therefore
,
as
it
became
him
,
he
promised
he
would
acquaint
his
Masters
in
the
Affair
,
and
take
their
directions
,
and
so
they
parted
;
and
the
noble
Commander
,
with
his
Oyster
Boat
,
returned
,
being
fraught
with
the
Quarrel
for
which
he
was
sent
,
which
yet
was
for
some
time
passed
over
here
in
silence
,
without
any
complaint
,
or
demand
of
satisfaction
;
but
your
Conspirators
were
resolved
to
improve
it
afterwards
:
When
the
Conspiracy
against
those
Protestant
States
was
ready
to
take
effect
,
then
this
Point
began
to
be
debated
,
and
a
reason
for
the
intended
wicked
War
.
The
Conspirators
assigned
the
Dutch
had
not
vailed
their
Bonnets
to
the
English
Dung-boat
,
it
carrying
the
King
's
most
Excellent
Jack
;
tho
it
is
plain
,
the
Dutch
had
all
along
,
both
at
home
and
here
,
as
carefully
endeavoured
to
give
,
as
the
Conspirators
,
that
were
Ministers
,
to
avoid
the
receiving
all
manner
of
satisfaction
:
Nay
,
our
Villains
would
not
so
much
as
let
the
States-General
know
what
would
be
received
and
owned
as
satisfaction
;
nay
,
they
were
so
afraid
that
the
Dutch
would
comply
in
the
business
of
the
Flag
,
and
by
that
means
the
Rogues
should
be
disappointed
of
a
hopeful
War
,
the
Clock
was
set
forward
some
minutes
;
so
that
by
their
roguery
they
did
happily
obtain
a
War
:
And
what
joy
there
was
at
St.
James's
,
and
amongst
your
Priests
,
some
of
whom
were
so
drunk
,
that
the
news
they
wrote
of
this
Breach
with
the
Dutch
in
their
Letters
,
could
not
be
read
:
And
it
's
well
known
,
that
upon
the
arrival
of
the
News
,
Te
Deum
was
sung
very
devoutly
at
the
Queen's
Chappel
at
St.
James's
,
and
Money
ordered
by
the
Queen
for
to
be
distributed
to
poor
Catholicks
;
a
token
of
Joy
and
Thanksgiving
.
4.
Pictures
and
Medals
,
This
was
another
Pretence
which
you
,
and
your
Banditti
took
up
to
commence
a
War
against
the
Dutch
;
but
your
Conspirators
handled
this
Point
very
nicely
,
fearing
the
Dutch
should
give
them
satisfaction
in
this
very
Point
,
and
thereby
prevent
a
War
.
It
is
very
plain
that
the
Dutch
were
not
conscious
to
themselves
of
any
Provocation
given
to
England
;
but
did
solemnly
protest
,
That
if
any
provocation
were
given
by
them
,
(
nay
,
they
went
so
far
,
that
they
were
ready
to
make
satisfaction
for
Offences
taken
)
the
English
should
make
their
Demands
.
You
,
Sir
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
against
the
Protestant
Religion
,
do
accuse
them
of
these
Medals
and
Pictures
;
what
then
,
Must
you
have
a
War
?
I
confess
,
I
have
read
of
a
Poet
,
by
a
dash
of
his
Pen
,
was
the
Cause
of
a
War
against
Poland
;
but
that
,
Sir
,
was
the
first
time
that
ever
a
Painter
could
by
the
stroke
of
his
Pencil
occasion
the
breach
of
so
considerable
a
League
as
was
made
with
the
Dutch.
5.
To
fill
up
the
measure
of
the
Iniquity
of
the
Dutch
,
they
bring
in
against
them
the
Charge
of
detaining
some
English
Families
in
Surinam
,
after
the
dominion
of
that
Colony
by
treaty
of
Peace
was
surrendered
up
to
the
Hollander
.
What
a
noise
you
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
made
about
this
Business
!
for
upon
the
strict
examination
of
the
Business
,
It
was
found
that
there
was
no
such
thing
as
the
detaining
of
any
English
Families
,
but
leave
only
given
them
to
abide
there
,
if
they
pleased
:
Nay
,
when
that
First-born
of
all
Roguery
and
Villany
,
Banister
himself
,
who
was
one
of
your
Banditti
,
whom
you
had
imployed
as
an
Agent
and
Contriver
of
all
this
Misunderstanding
in
all
that
Affair
,
could
not
at
last
forbear
to
cry
shame
of
it
.
Can
you
,
Sir
,
reflect
upon
these
things
without
blushing
?
Ought
you
not
,
now
you
have
time
,
to
think
and
consider
the
invalidity
of
all
these
Allegations
?
Were
these
the
Pillars
that
you
made
use
use
of
to
add
strength
?
And
were
Medals
sufficient
to
give
weight
,
and
Pictures
colour
for
such
an
Enterprize
as
this
?
But
this
is
nothing
,
a
War
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
,
were
resolved
upon
;
and
therefore
a
Manifesto
was
on
March
17.
1671/2
published
,
all
these
Crying
Sins
of
the
Dutch
were
made
publick
,
and
War
proclaimed
;
and
with
what
joy
to
the
Conspirators
,
and
with
what
grief
to
the
good
People
of
England
,
Christendom
well
knows
.
You
,
and
your
Partisans
,
did
,
I
say
,
rejoyce
,
but
what
was
the
consequence
of
that
wicked
Rupture
proclaimed
on
that
fatal
17th
day
of
March
,
but
your
making
your self
,
and
your
devilish
Party
,
Principals
to
all
the
Horrid
Destruction
,
Devastation
,
Ravage
and
Slaughter
,
which
from
that
aforesaid
17th
of
March
,
1672.
that
hath
been
continued
to
this
very
Year
of
1696.
2.
I
come
to
remind
you
with
what
you
did
to
carry
on
that
wicked
War
;
and
here
the
heads
of
your
Rogues
were
hard
at
work
,
for
there
was
great
need
of
good
consideration
in
the
Affair
;
for
if
I
am
not
much
out
in
my
memory
,
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
was
Two
Millions
in
debt
,
notwithstanding
the
vast
Sums
of
Money
he
had
obtained
by
the
strength
of
the
Tripple
League
,
which
he
had
so
basely
broke
and
dissolved
.
What
therefore
shall
we
do
for
Money
?
your
People
had
several
Projects
on
foot
;
but
there
were
four
resolved
on
,
and
put
in
execution
.
1.
The
Conspirators
were
to
try
their
utmost
Efforts
with
the
French
King
,
who
had
made
them
mighty
Promises
of
his
Purse
,
and
Credit
,
to
extirpate
the
Dutch-States
,
and
by
this
had
decoyed
you
into
the
War
;
But
what
was
your
Success
,
I
pray
?
Truly
you
were
not
so
success●ul
as
you
expected
;
the
Aid
he
contributed
was
but
narrow
,
and
could
go
but
a
little
way
in
the
managing
of
so
great
a
War
;
for
all
the
whole
Revenue
,
and
the
French
Contribution
,
could
not
last
ten
Months
War
;
even
this
your
Conspirators
foreknew
,
and
therefore
they
resolve
upon
a
second
Project
.
2.
The
shutting
up
the
Exchequer
,
into
which
you
,
and
your
Friends
,
had
decoyed
in
the
wealthy
Goldsmiths
,
and
they
the
rest
of
the
Nation
,
by
due
payment
of
Interest
,
till
you
had
run
the
King
in
debt
two
Millions
,
no
body
can
certainly
tell
upon
what
occasion
,
but
your self
,
your
Priests
,
and
other
Conspirators
;
but
then
your
Resolution
was
taken
,
that
not
one
penny
should
be
expended
otherwise
than
to
carry
on
your
Holy
War
for
the
pious
Catholick
Uses
,
to
which
the
Conspirators
had
dedicated
the
same
.
This
Resolution
of
yours
,
and
your
Party
,
was
carried
on
with
all
the
Secrecy
that
became
so
black
a
Design
,
that
you
might
not
by
venting
it
,
unseasonably
spoil
the
wit
and
malice
of
it
;
you
on
a
sudden
,
upon
the
1st
of
January
,
1670/1
for
a
New-Year's
Gift
to
the
Kingdom
,
to
the
great
astonishment
,
ruin
and
despair
of
Interested
Persons
,
and
to
the
terror
of
the
whole
Nation
by
so
Arbitrary
a
Fact
;
the
Proclamation
issued
,
whereby
the
Crown
,
amidst
the
confluence
of
such
great
Supplies
,
published
it self
a
Bankrupt
,
and
made
Prize
of
the
Subject
,
and
broke
all
Faith
and
Contract
at
home
,
in
order
to
break
with
the
Dutch
,
and
to
carry
on
the
War
with
more
advantage
.
But
,
Sir
,
your
Politicks
failed
you
here
;
for
the
Sum
you
obtained
by
this
Impudent
Cheat
upon
the
People
,
did
not
answer
the
Expectation
of
your
Party
,
nor
the
Ends
for
which
the
Rapine
was
committed
:
I
find
that
you
were
still
straitned
,
and
the
War
could
not
be
carried
on
with
that
application
that
was
requisite
,
without
a
far
greater
Sum
than
that
which
was
afforded
you
by
this
course
you
took
.
3.
Therefore
,
in
the
third
place
,
your
Councellors
put
you
upon
shewing
your self
a
most
Impartial
Robberr
;
for
after
this
Exploit
,
of
shutting
up
the
Exchequer
,
was
so
bravely
managed
,
you
resolve
that
the
Dutch
should
furnish
you
with
Wealth
for
that
Pious
Design
:
The
Dutch
,
you
may
remember
,
were
not
consulted
with
in
that
Affair
,
therefore
they
continued
to
pursue
their
Traffick
and
Navigation
through
our
Seas
with
the
least
suspicion
of
being
Pyrats
;
and
accordingly
a
very
great
and
Rich
Fleet
of
Merchant-men
from
Smyrna
and
Spain
were
on
their
Voyage
homeward
bound
,
near
the
Isle
of
Weight
,
under
the
small
Convoy
of
five
or
six
of
their
Men
of
War
:
Had
it
not
been
for
this
Fleet
,
the
War
had
broke
out
much
sooner
;
but
oh
,
how
you
,
and
your
Pirats
,
hugg'd
your selves
with
the
hopes
of
enjoying
the
Riches
that
was
on
board
them
!
this
Fleet
you
imagined
would
put
you
in
stock
for
the
carrying
you
on
in
all
the
Wickedness
that
you
,
and
your
Party
,
were
capable
of
;
and
that
you
should
never
,
after
the
obtaining
of
this
Prize
,
stand
in
need
again
of
,
or
fear
a
dangerous
and
useless
Parliament
:
But
how
did
the
Design
of
Plundering
and
Robbing
your
Neighbours
,
in
time
of
Peace
,
prosper
the
carrying
on
of
your
wicked
War
?
Be
pleased
,
therefore
,
to
remember
,
that
you
having
equipped
a
Fleet
with
great
stilness
,
and
quiet
,
and
expedition
,
and
early
in
the
Year
;
not
too
big
,
lest
the
Dutch
should
suspect
you
;
nor
too
little
,
lest
you
should
meet
with
an
unexpected
Repulse
in
your
intended
Action
:
Sir
Robert
Holmes
is
made
choice
of
as
a
Commander
;
you
know
he
had
given
you
experience
of
his
Pyracies
in
the
Years
1661
,
1662
,
1663
,
1664.
for
he
commenced
the
first
Hostility
against
the
Dutch
;
and
in
the
same
War
he
had
signalized
himself
by
burning
the
Dutch
Ships
at
Schelling
,
which
the
Dutch
revenged
upon
us
at
Chatham
;
he
therefore
was
the
man
appointed
to
commit
this
Intended
Pyracy
upon
the
Dutch
Smyrna
Fleet
:
You
judging
him
a
Person
of
Understanding
,
Experience
,
and
Courage
,
and
every
way
capable
of
accomplishing
such
a
villanous
Enterprize
,
or
of
any
black
devilish
Design
of
a
higher
nature
.
Sir
Robert
being
thus
appointed
Commander
in
Chief
of
this
designed
Fleet
,
sails
away
,
and
upon
the
14th
of
March
,
1672.
as
they
sailed
on
to
the
number
of
72
Ships
,
whereof
six
were
Convoys
,
near
our
Coast
,
he
fell
in
upon
them
with
his
accustomed
Bravery
,
and
could
not
have
failed
of
giving
a
very
good
account
of
them
,
would
he
but
have
joined
Sir
Edward
Spragg's
assistance
to
his
own
Conduct
;
for
Sir
Edward
was
in
sight
of
them
at
the
same
time
with
another
Squadron
,
and
Captain
Legg
making
sail
totward
him
to
acquaint
him
with
the
Design
,
till
called
back
by
a
Gun
from
his
Admiral
,
of
which
several
Persons
have
their
Conjectures
;
possibly
Sir
Robert
Holmes
,
considering
that
Sir
Edward
had
sailed
all
along
in
consort
with
the
Dutch
,
and
did
but
now
return
from
bringing
the
Pirates
of
Algiers
to
reason
,
thought
him
not
proper
to
engage
in
this
Enterprize
before
he
understood
it
better
.
But
some
have
believed
,
that
it
proceeded
partly
from
that
jealousie
of
admitting
a
share
of
Honour
and
Profit
in
this
Piracy
,
and
partly
out
of
too
strict
a
regard
to
preserve
his
Commission
secret
,
but
two
of
a
Trade
could
not
agree
;
and
by
this
means
the
whole
Affair
miscarried
;
and
through
the
Bravery
of
the
Dutch
Merchant-men
,
and
their
little
Convoy
,
Sir
Robert
was
forced
to
quit
the
Enterprize
;
and
all
that
was
got
by
this
piece
of
Piracy
never
answered
the
great
damage
his
Fleet
and
Seamen
sustained
:
When
the
News
arrived
of
Sir
Robert's
Fate
,
I
well
remember
with
what
a
sad
Countenance
the
Conspirators
walked
about
St.
James's
Park
,
and
Whitehall
;
you
your self
was
much
out
of
humour
at
the
Defeat
.
Your
Confessor
Beddingfield
told
me
,
That
that
Defeat
was
of
such
ill
consequence
to
their
Design
,
that
it
had
almost
broke
all
their
Measures
.
4.
Notwithstanding
all
this
,
a
War
the
Conspirators
were
resolved
upon
:
And
if
,
Sir
,
you
will
give
me
leave
to
descend
to
the
bottom
of
your
Hellish
Conspiracy
,
and
that
was
that
of
Religon
for
so
Pious
and
so
Just
an
Action
,
in
which
,
Sir
,
you
imployed
Sir
Robert
Holmes
,
could
not
be
better
accompanied
than
by
a
Declaration
of
Liberty
of
Conscience
;
you
doubting
that
he
could
not
find
that
admirable
Commodity
in
the
Hole
of
an
Amsterdam
Flyboat
;
therefore
while
he
was
trying
his
Fortune
in
Battel
with
the
Smyrna
Merchant-men
on
the
13th
and
14th
of
March
,
1672.
the
Indulgence
was
printing
off
with
all
haste
,
and
was
published
on
the
Fifteenth
as
a
more
proper
means
than
Fasting
and
Prayer
,
to
obtain
a
Blessing
from
Heaven
upon
his
Enterprize
,
and
upon
a
wicked
War
that
was
to
second
it
;
upon
which
you
may
remember
,
that
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
at
your
persuasion
,
and
the
Counsels
of
your
Conspirators
,
took
upon
him
the
Dispensing
Power
;
just
as
you
did
when
you
usurped
the
Throne
;
for
by
this
Indulgence
all
the
Penal
Laws
against
the
Papists
,
for
which
former
Parliaments
had
given
so
many
Supplies
to
the
Crown
;
and
against
Nonconformists
,
for
which
the
Pentionary
Parliament
had
paid
more
largely
,
were
at
one
instant
suspended
in
order
to
cheat
the
whole
Nation
at
once
of
all
their
Religion
which
they
had
so
dearly
purchased
.
But
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
,
may
say
,
How
was
Liberty
of
Conscience
to
get
Money
?
You
well
remember
,
Sir
,
that
the
Popish
Party
were
so
well
affected
to
this
Point
of
suspending
the
Penal
Laws
and
Statutes
that
were
against
them
;
and
that
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
making
such
solemn
Protestations
to
the
Gentlemen
,
and
Noblemen
,
and
the
Monks
,
and
the
Dominicans
,
that
this
Indulgence
was
but
a
step
to
the
establishing
the
Catholick
Religion
:
That
several
Gentlemens
Estates
were
so
impaired
in
contributing
to
this
wicked
War
,
that
they
have
not
recovered
the
same
to
this
day
:
The
Monks
at
the
Savoy
were
so
undone
,
that
they
could
scarce
hold
up
their
heads
:
And
the
Dominicans
having
parted
with
their
All
,
were
forced
to
fly
for
the
Debts
they
had
contracted
in
that
Juncture
of
Affair
:
But
the
whole
amounted
to
so
little
,
that
it
did
turn
to
little
account
;
for
the
whole
you
got
,
and
paid
into
the
Conspirators
Bank
,
amounted
to
no
more
than
356000
l.
As
for
the
Protestant
Dissenters
,
tho
they
made
use
of
the
Liberty
you
procured
for
them
,
yet
they
parted
with
no
Money
;
they
remembring
what
a
Cheat
was
so
lately
put
upon
the
Nation
in
the
business
of
the
shutting
up
the
Exchequer
:
And
considering
that
the
Indulgence
it self
was
but
an
Arbitrary
Act
in
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
would
never
pass
for
currant
Law
when
ever
a
Parliament
should
meet
;
your
Jesuits
they
pleaded
that
they
had
no
Cash
,
they
having
let
great
Sums
upon
the
security
of
several
Estates
belonging
to
the
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
that
were
of
the
Catholick
Church
:
And
besides
all
this
,
they
had
met
with
a
loss
from
one
that
had
lately
fallen
from
them
;
so
that
then
they
had
not
ready
Money
to
part
with
,
all
this
Project
did
not
answer
your
Expectation
.
Tho
your
Conspirators
did
assure
you
,
If
it
were
done
,
it
would
bring
a
Million
into
your
Conspirators
Bank
;
but
such
a
Sum
as
it
was
,
it
hath
caused
many
a
Popish
Gentleman
to
sing
Lachrymae
,
till
your
Accession
to
the
Crown
;
and
as
a
Reward
and
Plaister
,
they
were
put
into
Imployments
both
Civil
and
Military
;
which
Imployments
never
let
them
see
the
fortieth
part
of
the
Interest
of
their
Money
,
the
Principal
being
totally
lost
.
A
War
being
proclaimed
,
you
must
now
carry
it
on
:
What
did
you
do
with
the
small
Stock
you
had
?
you
equip
out
a
Fleet.
The
French
King
seeing
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
,
ingaged
beyond
retreat
,
comes
into
the
War
,
according
to
agreement
,
and
proclaims
War
against
the
Dutch
,
not
in
so
sneaking
a
manner
as
you
did
;
for
he
would
assign
no
Cause
;
but
said
,
It
was
for
his
glory
,
and
that
such
was
his
pleasure
.
But
by
his
Ambassador
to
the
Pope
,
he
gave
the
Pope
the
true
Cause
;
which
you
durst
not
for
your
Ears
give
to
the
Pope
,
or
any
body
else
;
tho
that
was
the
Design
of
King
Charles
,
and
your self
:
His
Ambassador
said
,
That
his
Master
had
not
undertaken
the
War
against
the
Hollander
in
conjunction
with
the
English
,
but
for
the
extirpating
of
Heresie
:
And
the
French
King
to
the
Emperor
of
Germany
saith
,
The
Hollanders
were
a
People
that
had
forsaken
God
,
and
were
Hereticks
;
and
that
all
Christian
Princes
ought
to
associate
together
for
their
Extirpation
:
That
it
was
a
War
of
Religion
,
in
order
to
propogate
the
Catholick
Faith
.
You
know
,
that
your
Brother's
,
the
French
King's
,
and
your
Interest
and
Religion
,
were
the
same
;
And
what
other
Design
then
could
you
have
in
that
wicked
War
,
but
to
advance
the
Religion
of
Rome's
Church
,
and
Power
of
France
both
at
home
and
abroad
?
and
that
the
Declaration
of
Indulgence
was
but
a
step
towards
the
setting
up
the
Romish
Religion
,
according
to
the
Agreement
that
was
made
with
Madam
,
your
Sister
,
at
the
Interview
in
June
1670.
and
by
that
means
you
met
with
that
Contribution
from
the
Romish
Party
to
carry
on
this
War
of
Religion
against
the
Dutch
,
who
you
judged
to
be
Hereticks
.
Give
me
leave
,
Sir
,
to
make
a
little
digression
:
You
know
that
the
late
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
who
was
then
in
the
Conspiracy
with
you
,
was
sent
into
France
to
borrow
40
Sail
of
French
Ships
;
and
by
agreement
our
King
was
to
Man
them
.
The
French
King
judged
that
too
great
a
Point
to
be
gained
by
King
Charles
upon
him
,
and
wheedles
with
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
and
offers
him
100000
l.
Sterling
to
consent
that
he
should
Man
the
Fleet
;
against
which
the
Duke
urged
it
was
against
the
Agreement
the
King
his
Master
had
made
with
him
the
French
King
,
and
so
would
not
accept
the
100000
l.
withal
,
telling
the
French
King
,
That
if
he
would
let
us
be
Neptune
at
Sea
,
he
should
be
Jove
by
Land
:
The
French
King
seemed
contented
,
and
so
the
Discourse
ended
.
But
the
French
King
deals
then
with
the
Lord
Arlington
,
and
gives
him
60000
l.
and
Arlington
prevailed
,
Sir
,
with
you
to
press
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
not
to
insist
upon
Manning
the
French
Fleet
with
English
,
for
that
it
would
be
less
charge
to
him
,
if
the
French
King
did
Man
the
Fleet
himself
;
and
withal
,
urged
to
the
King
,
That
they
were
but
low
,
and
they
should
have
occasion
enough
for
Money
otherwise
:
So
Arlington
got
by
the
Bargain
his
60000
l.
and
the
French
King
the
advantage
of
setting
out
his
own
Fleet.
Well
,
Sir
,
you
remember
the
French
Fleet
was
set
out
,
and
joined
the
English
;
the
English
Fleet
was
commanded
by
your self
,
and
the
French
Fleet
by
Monsieur
d'
Estree
;
and
upon
the
28th
of
May
,
1672.
you
were
attacked
in
Soul-Bay
by
De
Ruyter
,
who
commanded
the
Dutch
with
a
great
deal
of
Bravery
,
and
the
Attack
was
made
with
great
advantage
on
the
Dutch
side
;
you
did
what
you
could
to
have
beaten
the
Dutch
,
and
the
French
Admiral
did
what
he
was
sent
for
,
and
that
was
to
look
on
till
you
both
were
well
worried
;
Vice-Admiral
Montague
was
sacrificed
,
and
your
Fleet
so
damnably
mangled
,
that
a
man
would
have
thought
you
had
met
with
another
Smyrna
Fleet
;
but
our
Bells
did
ring
for
joy
,
but
God
know
there
was
no
occasion
on
your
side
to
boast
of
a
Victory
;
but
you
may
see
what
it
is
to
be
in
ill
Company
;
and
,
I
think
,
they
served
the
Dutch
the
same
Trick
,
when
they
joined
with
them
in
the
Year
1666.
a
remarkable
Year
,
you
know
for
what
;
but
of
that
in
its
proper
place
.
What
is
next
?
You
may
be
will
not
own
you
were
beaten
by
the
Dutch
;
but
it
is
plain
,
that
if
you
had
a
Victory
,
it
was
not
worth
the
name
of
one
;
but
we
have
no
more
fighting
under
your
Command
.
How
fared
it
with
your
Brother
of
France
?
truly
,
very
well
;
for
the
rest
of
the
Year
passed
with
great
success
to
the
French
,
but
none
to
the
English
:
What
shall
we
do
now
?
What
did
you
begin
that
War
upon
Hopes
,
yes
,
and
great
hopes
too
;
the
French
King
's
supplying
us
towards
the
carrying
of
it
on
,
and
taking
the
Smyrna
Fleet
,
and
a
multitude
of
Dutch
Prizes
;
but
Prob
Dolor
!
all
these
Hopes
vanished
,
and
the
Revenue
exhausted
,
and
the
Exchequermoney
spent
;
then
,
Sir
,
you
were
put
to
your
last
shifts
.
Since
Liberty
of
Conscience
turned
to
so
little
account
;
well
,
you
resolved
once
more
to
permit
your
Brother's
Calling
his
Parliament
to
set
down
on
the
4th
of
February
,
1672/3.
the
very
day
appointed
,
for
God
knows
you
were
so
disappointed
,
that
I
wonder
you
were
able
to
set
out
a
Fleet
that
Year
.
5.
You
come
to
your
last
Project
for
the
carrying
on
the
War
,
and
that
is
the
Parliament
;
and
so
by
the
good
leave
of
your
Banditti
,
they
do
set
down
;
but
that
which
is
the
greatest
astonishment
to
me
,
that
they
could
look
a
Parliament
in
the
face
,
after
they
had
advised
and
compleated
so
many
Rogueries
in
an
interval
of
Parliament
;
and
how
you
your self
could
sit
with
ease
in
the
House
of
Peers
,
whereas
you
could
not
but
be
conscious
to
your self
of
abetting
and
joining
in
with
these
these
Rogues
in
their
Villany
:
Well
then
,
What
said
your
Conspirators
to
the
Parliament
?
truly
they
communicated
the
War
to
them
,
and
the
Causes
of
the
War
;
the
Necessity
of
the
War
,
and
the
Danger
of
the
War
,
if
not
supplied
;
but
not
a
word
of
your
hopes
of
never
wanting
them
any
more
;
not
a
word
of
the
Design
of
Propogating
the
Catholick
Cause
;
you
mentioned
the
Medals
,
and
Pictures
,
and
the
Flag
,
but
the
Devil
a
word
of
the
Northern
Heresy
,
and
the
reducing
the
States-General
to
the
Popish
Religion
.
Truly
,
Sir
,
this
House
of
Commons
took
pity
upon
you
,
and
according
to
their
never
failing
Loyalty
to
the
Crown
,
knowing
that
a
good
Gratuity
would
appear
to
themselves
,
put
you
off
with
the
small
Pittance
of
1250000
l.
tho
those
Pensioners
would
wash
their
hands
of
the
War
;
and
therefore
would
not
give
this
Money
for
the
carrying
a
War
against
the
Dutch
,
but
for
the
King
's
Extraordinary
Occasions
.
But
was
this
all
they
did
?
no
,
it
was
not
all
;
there
was
something
else
done
that
did
some
what
allay
the
growing
Greatness
of
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
;
for
tho
they
were
to
be
supplied
for
their
private
Occasions
out
of
the
1250000
l.
they
had
given
,
yet
they
were
sensible
that
the
Nation
began
to
smoak
the
true
Causes
of
this
wicked
War
,
and
the
End
for
which
it
was
undertaken
.
There
was
an
Act
prepared
before
the
Money-Bill
was
passed
,
by
which
your
Popish
Conspirators
were
obliged
to
pass
through
a
new
State-Purgatory
,
or
to
be
uncabable
of
any
Publick
Imployment
.
I
remember
,
when
I
was
abroad
,
what
Curses
were
laid
upon
the
Parliament
for
that
scurvy
Bill
,
and
upon
the
Earl
of
Shaftsbury
,
who
,
tho
then
Lord
Chancellor
,
yet
engaged
so
far
in
that
Act
,
and
in
defence
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
that
in
due
time
it
cost
him
his
Place
;
which
notwithstanding
the
Popish
Parties
bitter
Curses
,
he
won
a
fair
Reputation
,
and
became
,
to
their
great
grief
,
a
zealous
Assertor
of
the
Rights
of
the
People
of
England
.
Was
this
all
?
No
,
your
first
step
to
the
Establishment
of
Popery
(
the
Indulgence
I
mean
)
was
called
in
question
;
and
tho
the
Popish
Party
had
contributed
more
than
it
was
worth
for
the
carrying
on
of
the
War
,
the
King
was
pleased
to
cancel
it
,
and
promised
that
he
never
would
do
so
any
more
,
and
passed
the
Test-Bill
:
Did
he
so
?
Had
he
not
promised
the
Princess
,
your
Sister
,
that
he
would
restore
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
,
and
that
he
would
begin
first
in
Ireland
;
in
order
to
which
,
you
know
the
Lord
Roberts
was
removed
,
and
another
that
was
base
enough
to
do
such
a
Jobb
,
was
sent
in
his
room
;
and
you
,
in
your
Brother's
Name
,
engaged
the
same
to
your
Popish
Contributors
,
and
he
engaged
in
his
own
name
the
like
.
It
is
scarce
possible
to
believe
it
;
how
could
he
answer
this
to
Lewis
the
French
King
?
For
it
was
his
Agreement
with
him
,
to
have
the
same
Government
,
and
the
same
Religion
;
truly
he
could
not
tell
how
to
help
it
,
the
Sons
of
Zerviah
were
too
many
for
him
.
And
1250000
l.
was
not
to
be
lost
for
want
of
a
compliance
with
the
Parliament
;
and
to
you
the
King
promised
that
he
would
make
it
up
to
the
Roman
Catholicks
another
way
;
but
how
,
and
when
,
I
could
never
learn
:
But
,
Sir
,
was
it
not
hard
,
that
they
should
be
incapable
of
Offices
and
Employments
,
since
they
had
purchased
them
at
so
dear
a
rate
,
but
these
Arguments
prevailed
not
;
so
the
Bills
were
passed
,
and
the
Parliament
was
dismissed
till
the
27th
of
October
,
1673.
and
good
reason
there
was
for
their
dismission
,
for
their
sitting
was
grown
very
uneasy
to
your
Popish
Conspirators
.
But
,
Sir
,
we
could
not
but
laugh
in
our
Sleeves
to
see
some
of
the
Conspirators
take
up
the
Cross
,
and
quit
their
Imployments
;
as
the
Lord
Clifford
,
the
Lord
Bellasis
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Strickland
,
and
others
,
who
had
long
appeared
zealous
Sons
of
our
Church
,
yet
discovered
to
be
of
the
Synagogue
of
Rome
,
as
soon
as
the
Test
or
Purgatory
Bill
passed
;
and
truly
,
Sir
,
we
were
not
sorry
when
you
appeared
to
be
of
the
same
Complexion
with
those
other
Conspirators
;
tho
at
the
same
time
,
I
must
tell
you
,
That
your
going
off
did
astonish
many
men
,
there
being
no
Record
in
History
of
any
Prince
that
changed
his
Religion
in
your
Circumstances
.
But
,
did
your
Conspirators
stand
still
,
and
put
up
the
Sword
that
was
drawn
against
the
Dutch
?
No
,
they
had
got
1250000
l.
therefore
you
and
they
strove
with
all
imaginable
strength
to
regain
by
the
War
that
part
of
the
Cursed
Design
that
was
lost
by
Parliament
,
tho
some
of
you
forsook
your
Places
,
rather
than
your
Consciences
;
yet
,
Sir
,
you
never
wanted
some
double-dy'd
Sons
of
the
Church
of
England
to
succeed
in
your
Places
,
upon
the
same
Terms
your
Popish
Conspirators
held
them
;
so
that
they
were
but
your
Conspirators
Deputies
,
who
followed
the
same
Councels
,
and
carried
on
the
same
Design
,
for
this
Year
was
a
fruitful
Year
of
Engagements
with
the
Dutch
;
the
French
carries
all
before
him
by
Land
;
but
we
got
nothing
from
the
Dutch
,
but
maimed
Ships
,
and
broken
Bones
;
we
had
indeed
changed
our
General
,
but
our
Success
was
the
same
:
For
you
remember
with
whom
we
were
in
Conjunction
,
we
may
thank
our selves
for
keeping
such
ill
Company
:
So
that
in
a
word
,
I
may
say
those
Heretick
Dogs
,
as
they
were
termed
by
the
Great
Lewis
,
were
too
many
for
our
English
Popish
Conspirators
.
What
then
?
Did
we
nothing
by
land
?
had
we
not
an
Army
at
Black-Heath
,
and
General
Schomberg
at
the
head
of
them
;
Yes
,
we
had
,
but
that
good
Gentleman
,
when
he
saw
the
Army
,
and
understood
that
they
were
not
an
Army
against
the
Dutch
,
but
were
designed
against
London
,
he
fairly
quitted
his
Post
,
and
the
Kingdom
at
the
same
time
,
as
being
ashamed
of
your
Conspirators
Intentions
in
the
raising
that
Army
:
He
being
a
French-man
,
you
imagined
he
would
join
with
you
in
bringing
in
the
French
mode
of
Government
;
and
your
Irish
Papist
that
was
Major-General
,
was
to
have
brought
in
the
Irish
Religion
;
the
latter
would
have
been
true
to
the
uttermost
of
his
power
,
and
Irish
Discretion
;
but
the
former
was
a
Protestant
and
so
washed
his
hands
of
the
business
.
You
will
say
,
that
the
French
were
on
our
side
;
yes
,
Sir
,
they
were
;
but
it
is
as
plain
as
the
Sun
shining
at
Noon-day
,
that
the
French
in
this
second
War
against
the
Dutch
,
intended
nothing
less
than
really
to
assist
us
,
for
he
was
no
Changeling
;
for
he
had
practised
the
same
Art
at
Sea
,
in
the
first
War
the
Conspirators
had
against
the
Dutch
,
when
he
was
in
league
with
them
,
for
his
Navy
never
did
them
any
service
,
for
his
business
was
only
to
see
us
batter
one
another
;
and
it
's
well
known
,
that
when
he
pretended
to
be
on
our
side
,
and
to
assist
us
,
they
then
only
took
an
opportunity
to
sound
our
Seas
,
to
spy
our
Ports
,
and
to
learn
our
Building
,
and
contemplate
our
way
of
Fight
,
to
consume
our
Navy
,
and
preserve
his
own
to
increase
his
own
Commerce
;
and
to
order
all
so
,
that
the
two
great
Naval
Powers
of
Europe
being
crushed
together
,
that
he
might
remain
Prince
and
Lord
of
the
Ocean
;
and
by
consequence
,
Master
of
all
the
Isles
,
and
the
Continent
into
the
bargain
:
To
which
purpose
you
,
and
your
Banditti
,
furnished
him
with
all
possible
Opportunities
,
as
I
shall
by
and
by
relate
;
as
well
to
put
you
in
mind
of
what
you
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
,
did
do
,
as
to
inform
those
of
your
Party
here
that
are
still
ignorant
of
the
Transactions
of
those
Times
.
Notwithstanding
that
we
were
always
worsted
by
the
Dutch
,
yet
they
having
a
regard
to
the
preservation
of
our
Religion
and
Liberties
;
which
you
had
agreed
to
part
withal
to
the
French
Court
,
made
strong
Applications
for
a
Peace
;
and
the
Conspirators
for
a
Supply
to
carry
on
the
War
;
and
all
Endeavours
were
by
you
,
and
your
Friends
,
used
to
render
the
Dutch
odious
to
the
Parliament
;
witness
the
Importunities
that
were
used
,
and
great
Assurances
given
:
In
a
word
,
nothing
but
the
Voice
of
War
was
in
their
Mouths
.
But
you
know
that
there
was
an
unhappy
Accident
fell
out
,
which
I
shall
show
you
in
its
proper
place
,
that
made
the
King
put
off
the
Parliament
that
sat
down
the
27th
of
October
,
till
the
7th
of
January
following
;
and
in
the
mean
time
,
what
Artifices
your
Accomplices
used
for
to
prepare
the
Parliament
to
have
an
ill
Opinion
of
the
Dutch
,
you
may
see
in
the
Speech
made
by
that
Villain
of
a
Keeper
,
who
was
your
Tool
to
all
intents
and
purposes
;
you
may
remember
how
he
represented
the
Dutch
,
how
averse
they
were
to
Peace
and
Reason
,
and
how
uncivil
and
indirect
in
their
Overtures
of
Treaty
with
His
Majesty
;
and
therefore
a
demand
was
made
of
a
proportionable
and
speedy
Supply
:
But
the
Dutch
,
who
sound
themselves
abused
and
obstructed
,
and
hitherto
in
a
manner
excluded
from
all
manner
of
Application
;
and
whatever
means
they
had
used
,
was
still
misinterpreted
and
ill
represented
,
they
were
so
wise
and
industrious
,
as
by
this
time
to
have
undeceived
most
of
the
Members
of
Parliament
;
therefore
the
House
of
Commons
were
for
a
Peace
to
be
made
with
the
Dutch
;
and
in
order
thereunto
,
would
not
part
with
one
Penny
judging
that
to
be
the
best
means
for
a
Peace
to
follow
;
and
began
to
call
some
of
your
Rogues
to
an
account
,
that
had
been
principal
Contrivers
of
that
most
ungodly
War
;
this
was
an
excellent
,
but
a
new
way
of
negotiating
a
Peace
with
the
States-General
.
I
well
remember
,
that
some
of
your
Friends
began
to
look
blew
upon
the
business
,
looking
every
day
to
be
called
to
an
account
for
their
Conspiracy
against
our
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Religion
,
in
the
contriving
and
carrying
on
this
War
,
as
aforesaid
:
(
By
this
means
,
Sir
,
but
full
against
your
will
)
I
can
tell
how
it
grieved
your
Soul
,
to
see
the
general
bent
of
the
whole
Nation
to
be
against
the
War
,
especially
because
the
French
were
engaged
in
it
:
In
a
word
,
The
House
of
Commons
advised
your
Brother
to
a
Just
and
an
Honourable
Peace
with
the
States-General
,
which
the
King
put
off
till
it
could
be
no
longer
opposed
;
then
a
Peace
was
concluded
with
the
Dutch
;
and
when
that
was
done
,
the
Commons
still
had
an
evil
Eye
upon
the
Conspirators
,
and
got
eight
New
Regiments
to
be
disbanded
;
that
as
the
Exchequer
had
been
shut
up
,
London
might
not
be
plundred
,
and
the
Citizens
might
not
be
Dragooned
out
of
their
Estates
,
Liberties
,
and
Religion
,
all
at
once
.
Upon
this
Peace
being
concluded
with
the
Dutch
,
oh
,
what
complaining
Letters
did
you
send
to
your
Friends
at
St.
Omers
!
charging
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
with
the
greatest
breach
of
Promises
and
Oaths
made
to
Madam
,
the
Princess
;
and
also
Letters
were
sent
to
Doway
,
to
the
Monks
there
,
yet
assuring
them
you
would
never
leave
the
Cause
so
;
for
you
still
hoped
that
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
would
do
the
work
,
and
ruin
the
Dutch
States
,
that
they
might
not
be
a
Nest
for
Rebels
and
Hereticks
:
I
was
saying
just
now
,
How
could
King
Charles
answer
the
Cancelling
the
Declaration
of
Indulgence
,
and
the
passing
the
Test-Bill
,
to
Lewis
his
great
Ally
?
But
now
,
Sir
,
I
much
more
wonder
,
how
he
could
answer
to
that
King
,
his
Concluding
a
Peace
with
the
States-General
of
the
Vnited
Provinces
?
for
this
seemed
to
me
,
and
many
others
,
the
greatest
Riddle
how
this
would
stand
with
the
Holy
League
that
he
had
made
with
that
King
to
root
out
Heresy
,
and
to
set
up
Popery
?
for
could
we
have
but
ruined
the
Dutch
,
the
work
had
been
done
to
all
intents
and
purposes
.
Your
Party
well
knew
,
that
Charles
,
your self
,
and
the
then
Lords
of
the
Admiratly
,
fell
under
the
displeasure
of
the
French
King
by
consent
;
and
since
you
could
not
humble
the
Dutch
,
how
willingly
you
condescended
that
the
High
and
Mighty
Monarch
of
France
should
have
the
humbling
of
the
English
Nation
;
for
by
your
Advice
and
Procurement
it
was
agreed
,
That
he
should
let
loose
his
Privateers
among
our
Merchant-men
;
so
that
from
that
time
there
was
no
security
of
Commerce
and
Navigation
,
notwithstanding
the
publick
Amity
that
was
between
the
two
Crowns
;
but
at
Sea
they
murthered
,
plundered
,
made
Prize
,
and
confiscated
those
they
met
with
;
their
Pyrats
laid
before
the
Mouths
of
our
Rivers
,
hovered
all
along
upon
our
Coasts
,
took
our
Ships
in
the
very
Ports
;
insomuch
,
that
we
in
a
manner
were
blockt
up
by
Water
;
and
if
any
made
application
at
his
Sovereign
Port
for
Justice
,
they
were
insolently
baffled
,
if
not
cruelly
beaten
:
This
you
know
,
and
the
Nation
well
knew
,
that
Charles
,
your self
,
and
the
Admiralty
,
were
Accomplices
in
this
matter
,
and
that
it
did
turn
to
a
good
account
to
the
Conspirators
,
as
can
be
made
appear
even
,
Sir
,
to
your
face
at
St.
Germains
:
And
this
way
of
using
the
Nation
continued
till
the
latter
end
of
the
Year
1676.
even
from
our
concluding
the
Peace
with
the
States-General
of
the
Vnited
Provinces
.
Was
this
all
?
No
,
this
way
of
Pyrating
was
only
a
mark
of
his
Most
Christian
Majesty's
Displeasure
.
It
was
no
reparation
for
our
good
King
Charles's
not
keeping
his
word
with
him
;
therefore
all
diligence
was
used
to
supply
him
with
Recruits
,
and
those
who
would
go
voluntarily
over
,
were
incouraged
;
others
that
would
not
,
were
pressed
,
imprisoned
,
and
carried
over
by
main
force
,
even
as
the
Parliament
here
was
ready
to
set
down
,
notwithstanding
all
the
former
frequent
Applications
to
the
contrary
:
Nay
,
yet
further
,
How
did
you
empty
all
the
Magazines
of
the
Kingdom
to
furnish
the
French
with
all
sorts
of
Ammunition
?
of
which
,
Sir
,
a
particular
Account
was
taken
,
and
can
be
given
,
if
demanded
.
It
is
,
Sir
,
well
known
,
that
King
Charles
having
broken
the
Tripple
League
,
and
made
a
War
upon
the
Dutch
without
Cause
,
and
had
made
Peace
with
them
;
he
would
never
enter
into
a
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
with
them
;
yet
he
could
make
one
with
the
French
,
tho
he
had
taken
the
Kingdom
's
Money
to
enter
into
an
actual
War
:
Nay
,
that
Conspirator
Conventry
,
had
the
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
,
made
with
the
French
King
,
in
his
Pocket
,
when
the
House
of
Commons
voted
the
Money
for
an
actual
War
with
France
.
It
may
be
,
Sir
,
you
may
say
that
King
Charles
did
make
an
Alliance
with
Holland
;
and
the
Articles
of
the
League
were
,
on
April
30.
1678.
laid
before
the
House
by
the
King
's
especial
direction
:
It
may
be
so
;
But
will
your
Party
call
that
a
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
,
fit
for
a
Parliament
of
England
to
agree
to
?
No
;
for
see
how
the
House
resented
that
Sham-League
;
and
to
this
end
observe
their
Vote
,
May
the
4th
,
1678.
Resolved
,
That
the
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
with
the
States-General
of
the
United
Provinces
,
with
the
Articles
relating
thereunto
,
are
not
pursuant
to
the
Addresses
of
this
House
,
nor
consistent
with
the
Good
and
Safety
of
the
Kingdom
.
That
was
one
Resolve
.
But
there
was
a
second
Resolution
of
the
House
upon
the
same
day
.
Resolved
,
That
it
is
the
Opinion
of
this
House
,
That
His
Majesty
be
humbly
advised
and
desired
forthwith
to
enter
into
the
present
Alliances
and
Confederations
with
the
Emperor
,
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
with
the
States-General
of
the
United
Provinces
,
for
the
vigorous
carrying
on
the
War
against
the
French
King
,
and
for
the
good
and
safety
of
His
Majesty's
Kingdoms
;
and
particularly
,
That
effectual
Endeavours
be
used
for
continuing
the
States-General
in
the
present
Confederation
;
And
that
it
be
agreed
by
all
Parties
Confederate
,
to
prohibit
all
Trade
between
their
Subjects
,
and
Countries
,
and
France
,
and
all
other
Dominions
of
the
French
King
.
And
that
no
Commodities
of
France
,
or
of
the
Dominions
of
the
French
King
,
be
imported
into
their
Countries
from
any
place
whatsoever
:
And
also
that
all
endeavours
be
used
to
invite
all
other
Princes
and
States
into
the
said
Confederation
;
and
that
no
Truce
or
Peace
be
made
,
or
agreed
to
,
with
the
French
King
,
by
His
Majesty
,
or
any
of
the
Confederates
,
without
the
general
Consent
of
all
the
Confederates
had
first
therein
.
Both
which
Resolves
were
sent
to
His
Majesty
by
the
Members
of
Parliament
that
were
of
the
Privy
Council
;
and
what
a
message
they
receive
on
the
6th
of
May
following
,
shews
plainly
his
unwillingness
to
enter
into
League
with
the
Confederates
against
France
:
And
,
Sir
,
you
know
the
Reason
why
,
Because
the
Interest
and
Religion
of
Lewis
the
French
King
,
was
the
Interest
and
Religion
of
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
and
Conspirators
.
But
,
Sir
,
that
which
testifies
your
Brother's
Obstinacy
,
is
refusing
to
enter
into
such
a
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
with
the
States-General
of
the
Vnited
Provinces
,
&c.
For
notwithstanding
the
Treaty
of
Peace
with
the
States
General
,
had
not
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
,
furnished
the
French
King
with
Men
and
Arms
,
and
Ammunition
,
against
the
very
Tenure
and
Intent
of
the
said
Treaty
?
Therefore
the
Lords
and
Commons
join
in
an
Address
on
the
10th
of
November
,
1675.
in
which
they
earnestly
pressed
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
to
call
home
his
Subjects
from
the
Service
of
the
French
King
;
but
instead
of
that
,
more
were
sent
,
and
many
of
them
by
force
,
or
fraud
,
call
to
mind
the
Address
made
by
the
House
of
Commons
,
on
May
20
,
1675.
where
great
Complaints
were
made
by
the
House
,
of
the
Conspirators
supplying
the
French
King
with
Men
,
not
a
few
,
but
considerable
numbers
,
to
the
great
discouragement
of
the
Confederates
engaged
in
the
Common
Cause
against
that
proud
Monster
of
Mankind
.
So
the
Vote
of
May
23
,
1677.
Resolved
,
That
an
humble
Address
be
presented
to
His
Majesty
,
That
he
would
be
pleased
to
enter
into
a
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
with
the
States-General
of
the
United
Provinces
;
and
to
make
such
other
Alliances
with
such
other
Confederates
as
His
Majesty
shall
think
fit
,
against
the
Growth
and
Power
of
the
French
King
,
and
preservation
of
the
Netherlands
.
And
what
was
done
upon
all
these
Addresses
?
truly
,
very
little
;
but
up
starts
a
League
made
with
the
Dutch
,
that
was
not
worth
one
Farthing
;
and
how
that
Sham-League
was
kept
,
we
all
very
well
remember
.
But
as
a
further
proof
of
your
Brother's
Being
unwilling
to
enter
into
any
firm
and
hearty
League
with
the
Confederates
engaged
against
the
French
King
,
remember
this
;
Th●●
through
yours
,
and
the
Power
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
had
over
him
,
he
could
never
be
brought
to
enter
into
,
and
be
engaged
in
an
actual
War
with
France
,
notwitstanding
all
the
humble
Applications
made
to
him
by
Parliaments
;
nay
,
tho
he
passed
a
Bill
to
enter
into
a
War
with
France
,
and
had
the
benevolence
given
in
that
Bill
in
order
to
the
same
,
yet
a
firm
League
was
made
with
France
,
the
Interest
and
Religion
of
the
French
,
King
and
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
being
all
one
.
In
the
first
place
be
pleased
,
Sir
,
to
remember
,
that
the
Parliament
that
was
adjourned
to
the
Third
of
December
,
1677.
and
then
put
off
till
the
Fifteenth
of
January
1677/78
;
but
that
day
being
come
,
both
Houses
met
,
but
by
a
Message
to
the
House
of
Commons
they
are
ordered
to
adjourn
till
the
Twenty
eighth
,
and
the
pretended
reason
the
then
King
gave
(
or
rather
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
)
that
his
Majesty
had
matters
of
great
Importance
in
order
to
the
satisfaction
of
their
Addresses
for
the
Preservation
of
Flanders
;
but
it
so
fell
out
,
that
things
were
not
then
so
ripe
,
as
in
a
few
days
they
would
be
;
therefore
it
was
his
Majesties
Royal
Will
and
Pleasure
that
the
House
do
immediately
Adjourn
till
the
Twenty
eighth
of
the
same
Month.
The
Message
was
very
Grateful
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
to
many
others
,
who
understood
not
the
Conspiracy
,
for
the
design
was
clear
another
thing
than
what
they
had
conceived
.
The
day
of
their
meeting
comes
,
and
they
are
entertained
with
a
Speech
full
of
good
Words
,
yet
he
Reprimands
them
for
their
distrust
;
and
to
shew
them
how
they
were
mistaken
,
they
are
told
what
a
great
care
the
King
had
taken
of
the
Protestant
Religion
:
And
in
order
thereunto
,
he
had
concluded
a
Match
with
the
Lady
Mary
,
to
the
Prince
of
Orange
;
(
but
you
know
,
Sir
,
tha●
it
was
full
sore
against
his
and
your
Wills
)
a
Prince
Professing
the
same
Religion
w●●●
us
(
which
by
King
Charles's
good
leave
)
was
a
great
mistake
;
for
I
dare
say
that
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
now
our
King
,
never
Receiv'd
the
Sacrament
from
the
Church
of
Rome
in
all
his
days
,
which
to
my
certain
knowledge
King
Charles
did
,
and
afterwards
Receiv'd
it
from
the
hands
of
a
Bishop
of
the
Church
of
England
the
self-same
day
.
But
to
go
on
with
his
Speech
,
he
told
them
that
the
Prince
of
Orange
was
a
Prince
ingaged
in
Arms
to
Defend
the
Common
Cause
of
Chridendom
;
and
so
he
goes
on
and
talks
of
Alliances
,
and
forgets
not
to
call
for
a
fresh
supply
,
that
he
might
carry
on
his
Alliances
made
,
and
to
be
made
.
Well
,
Sir
,
What
was
the
effect
of
this
Most
Gracious
Speech
?
I
remember
that
the
House
in
return
made
an
humble
but
a
sharp
Address
,
and
the
Speech
was
not
answered
with
Thanks
in
General
,
but
only
in
Particular
,
relating
to
the
King's
care
he
had
of
the
Protestant
Religion
;
which
Address
was
Concluded
on
January
31st
.
following
.
In
that
Address
they
promise
the
King
Supplies
,
provided
he
would
enter
into
an
actual
War
with
France
,
and
join
in
with
the
Confederates
,
and
Exclaim
against
the
growing
Greatness
of
the
French
King
;
and
that
if
it
must
be
Peace
,
that
they
would
have
the
French
King
left
in
no
better
condition
than
he
was
upon
the
Conclusion
of
the
Pyrenean
Treaty
.
I
remember
when
this
Address
was
made
,
I
was
at
St.
Omers
,
but
we
had
news
from
Coleman
how
you
resented
it
;
nay
,
Sir
,
it
's
well
known
that
the
Address
stuck
terribly
in
your
stomach
,
as
well
as
the
Match
between
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
the
Lady
Mary
(
our
Late
Gracious
Queen
)
by
which
,
Sir
,
you
could
not
but
easily
perceive
that
the
House
of
Commons
had
got
some
scent
of
the
Damnable
Plot
that
was
carrying
on
against
our
Religion
,
Laws
,
and
Liberty
;
and
your
underhand-dealing
with
France
and
the
Popish
Interest
.
But
that
men
might
not
understand
you
too
well
,
your
Agents
were
busy
both
in
City
and
Countrey
to
n●●●ish
a
Report
of
Alliances
with
the
Confederates
,
and
a
War
with
France
;
and
so
big
they
pretended
to
be
of
the
War
with
France
,
that
they
avowed
the
certainty
of
it
both
in
words
and
in
Print
;
all
this
I
say
was
to
keep
the
Nation
in
horrid
Ignorance
:
To
this
end
,
Sir
,
you
hired
a
Tool
that
had
pawned
his
Soul
for
Bread
,
to
write
against
the
French
King
;
but
all
was
not
gold
that
glistered
,
there
was
no
Money
like
to
come
,
because
that
the
House
was
resolved
to
be
satisfied
that
the
Alliances
were
made
,
and
the
War
proclaimed
:
This
,
Sir
,
you
,
and
your
Party
,
looked
upon
as
a
great
hardship
put
upon
the
King
,
and
that
the
House
of
Commons
took
too
much
upon
them
;
but
your
Rogues
made
use
of
this
Address
to
be
a
poor
Cripple
to
beg
Money
even
from
France
it self
;
you
know
who
undertook
in
that
Affair
to
get
Money
from
France
upon
the
strength
of
that
Address
,
and
was
in
a
fair
way
of
succeeding
,
had
not
something
happened
between
the
Cup
and
the
Lip
:
In
a
word
;
Nothing
but
War
with
France
is
talked
of
;
the
French
is
content
it
should
be
a
Bill
passed
for
a
War
,
and
Money
was
given
;
the
French
King
concurred
with
you
in
it
;
a
Law
passes
against
the
Importation
of
French
Goods
,
he
wills
that
too
;
for
you
had
so
ordered
the
matter
,
that
notwithstanding
that
Act
,
by
the
diligent
care
of
the
Officers
of
the
Custom-House
,
there
was
more
French
Goods
brought
into
the
Custom-House
than
before
.
But
,
Sir
,
you
were
not
idle
all
this
time
;
for
while
the
People
of
England
were
talking
of
War
and
Alliances
,
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
,
were
busie
both
at
home
and
abroad
;
oh
,
the
multitude
of
Messages
that
were
sent
to
Rome
and
France
!
and
you
know
what
Advice
was
given
you
;
that
upon
the
account
of
the
pretended
War
,
you
should
raise
Forces
;
for
the
Priests
doubted
not
,
through
the
assistance
of
the
Saints
,
the
work
would
be
done
;
you
raised
Forces
,
and
got
Money
,
tho
for
other
ends
than
the
Parliament
gave
it
;
Was
this
,
Sir
,
to
carry
on
the
War
,
or
to
go
on
in
making
of
Alliances
?
you
know
it
was
that
Popery
,
and
the
French
Government
might
be
advanced
both
at
one
and
the
same
time
;
so
that
,
Sir
,
I
have
justified
that
head
,
the
unwillingness
of
King
Charles's
entring
into
,
and
keeping
League
with
those
who
would
uphold
and
maintain
the
Protestant
Religion
;
but
chose
rather
to
make
Alliances
with
France
,
yea
and
keep
them
too
,
with
a
King
that
had
a
mighty
mind
to
destroy
it
.
11.
I
come
to
the
last
Passage
that
I
proposed
in
the
beginning
of
this
Memento
to
treat
about
,
and
that
is
this
;
That
as
long
as
King
Charles
lived
,
what
a
dismal
and
difficult
task
had
this
Nation
to
suppress
you
,
and
your
wicked
Popish
,
and
Popishly
affected
Accomplices
?
and
that
when
he
died
,
you
were
like
to
be
his
Successor
;
and
therefore
the
Commons
took
this
into
serious
consideration
;
and
upon
the
whole
,
that
the
state
of
Religion
was
desperate
;
and
that
the
Popish
Conspirators
would
certainly
be
advanced
,
and
that
there
would
be
nothing
less
than
the
Nation
to
all
intents
and
purposes
ruined
;
therefore
,
I
pray
,
Sir
,
remember
the
Vote
passed
,
Ap.
27.1679
.
Resolved
,
Nemine
Contradicente
,
That
the
Duke
of
York
being
a
Papist
,
and
the
hopes
of
his
coming
to
the
Crown
such
,
hath
given
the
greatest
incouragement
to
the
present
Conspiracy
and
designs
of
the
Papists
against
the
King
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
.
Sir
,
This
Vote
would
have
ground
and
beaten
an
ordinary
Subject
to
Powder
,
but
it
had
not
that
effect
upon
you
,
and
your
Party
;
your
Party
was
so
prevalent
at
that
time
,
your
Popish
Party
I
mean
,
that
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
threw
off
all
these
Difficulties
with
scorn
and
impudence
enough
;
for
it
is
plain
enough
,
that
the
Popish
Party
had
such
an
influence
upon
King
Charles
,
as
to
favour
them
,
notwithstanding
the
notoriety
of
those
Crimes
both
they
and
you
stood
charged
withal
:
For
,
1.
The
Popish
Party
had
a
great
interest
at
Court
upon
the
pretence
of
their
pretended
Loyalty
in
the
time
of
the
Civil
War
between
Charles
the
First
and
his
Subjects
:
And
again
,
some
few
of
them
were
instrumental
in
the
escape
of
his
Son
Charles
the
Second
from
Worcester
,
and
the
seeming
readiness
that
was
in
that
Party
for
the
Restoration
of
the
said
Charles
the
Second
in
the
Year
1660.
this
gave
them
not
only
a
share
of
peace
and
Quiet
under
Charles's
Government
,
but
procured
from
him
a
farther
degree
of
respect
unto
them
;
by
this
means
they
had
a
very
great
advantage
of
carrying
on
their
Designs
against
the
Interest
of
the
Nation
,
and
Peace
of
the
Government
;
and
this
was
the
Argument
,
Sir
,
that
you
used
for
that
part
of
your
Banditti
,
in
order
to
join
your
Forces
and
strengthen
your
Party
.
Give
me
leave
,
Sir
,
to
observe
to
you
,
how
wicked
a
thing
it
was
in
you
to
embolden
such
a
party
of
Rogues
to
ruin
the
Nation
;
you
used
to
say
they
were
always
loyal
,
and
therefore
how
many
times
did
you
procure
great
Indulgences
from
the
Government
,
against
the
express
Letter
of
the
Law
,
for
them
,
while
the
rigor
of
the
Law
was
let
loose
upon
other
Dissenters
,
who
yet
continued
more
quiet
and
loyal
under
their
Pressures
and
Provocations
,
than
those
under
Favours
and
Caresses
;
and
did
not
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
hazard
the
Hearts
and
Affections
of
his
best
Subjects
,
and
much
of
Royal
Honour
(
if
ever
he
had
any
)
in
appearing
for
his
Indulgence
of
March
15.
1671/2
with
frustration
,
to
engage
,
if
possible
,
these
everlasting
holy
Cutthroats
;
but
where
was
the
Loyalty
of
these
your
Popish
Conspirators
?
For
,
1.
Was
it
not
at
their
instigation
(
when
they
were
in
a
Conspiracy
against
the
Peace
of
this
Nation
with
that
Arch-Traytor
Laud
,
that
was
sometime
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
)
that
the
Uniformity
of
Service
that
was
in
England
,
was
against
all
Law
,
Justice
and
Conscience
,
pressed
upon
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
which
occasioned
that
breach
with
that
Nation
,
that
was
not
without
great
difficulty
,
and
vast
expence
,
made
up
to
the
dishonour
of
King
Charles
the
First
,
and
the
English
Nation
.
You
cannot
but
remember
,
you
have
been
informed
who
were
the
Prime
Sticklers
upon
the
occasion
of
that
Service-book
,
and
other
strange
Impositions
laid
upon
that
people
to
foment
the
War
between
the
two
Kingdoms
.
For
in
your
Letter
to
Ashby
,
the
Rector
of
the
English
Colledge
at
St.
Omers
,
dated
March
17
,
1676/7.
to
supply
you
with
a
dozen
of
such
men
as
were
used
in
Scotland
in
1637
,
1638
,
1639.
that
would
not
stick
at
any
thing
to
carry
on
the
Catholick
Cause
;
in
which
you
said
,
that
his
Majesty
of
France
,
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
were
ingaged
,
for
you
then
did
want
them
;
and
upon
the
receipt
of
your
Letter
the
Scotch
Colledge
at
Doway
was
consulted
,
and
12
men
were
dispatched
over
for
England
,
for
what
Ends
and
Purposes
you
know
well
enough
.
But
to
return
to
the
Point
in
hand
;
The
Priests
that
were
sent
into
Scotland
in
the
time
of
your
Father
,
Charles
the
First
,
you
have
been
informed
that
they
were
sent
by
Cardinal
Richlieu
into
that
ancient
Kingdom
to
enflame
the
Differences
between
the
two
Nations
;
and
the
Motives
upon
which
that
great
Incendiary
was
so
earnest
to
kindle
a
War
in
the
Dominions
of
your
Father
,
were
sufficiently
understood
by
those
that
lived
,
and
were
actually
engaged
in
publick
Negotiations
,
who
have
been
so
just
as
to
leave
them
upon
record
to
future
Generations
;
and
they
were
the
very
same
Motives
that
you
,
and
your
Party
,
made
the
grounds
for
the
subversion
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
our
English
Government
;
these
were
your
loyal
Men
that
would
have
brought
in
a
Religion
upon
us
by
a
conversion
of
us
with
Blood
,
and
a
Baptism
with
fire
;
but
the
Good
Lord
,
I
hope
,
will
keep
the
Land
from
the
one
,
and
this
great
City
from
the
other
.
2.
Your
Conspirators
were
men
of
undoubted
Loyalty
;
and
this
Englishmen
will
believe
,
if
you
can
make
them
;
because
of
their
great
zeal
in
commencing
and
carrying
that
never
to
be
forgotten
bloody
Massacre
in
Ireland
,
wherein
so
many
thousand
Protestants
lost
their
Lives
,
and
were
by
your
Hell-born
Cut-throats
basely
and
barbarously
murthered
:
Nay
,
as
a
testimony
of
their
Loyalty
,
they
renounced
your
Father's
Authority
,
and
the
Authority
of
his
Lord
Lieutenant
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
assumed
the
Royal
Authority
to
themselves
,
owing
only
a
dependance
upon
the
Pope
,
and
his
Nuncio
;
yet
these
men
for
that
piece
of
barbarity
,
were
by
you
,
and
your
Brother
,
recommended
to
several
Princes
,
as
men
that
had
ventured
their
Lives
,
and
lost
their
Estates
,
for
promoting
the
Catholick
Apostolick
Religion
in
Ireland
by
the
direction
and
express
Command
of
your
Royal
Father
of
blessed
Memory
;
and
many
of
them
in
their
old
age
were
,
at
your
Brother's
request
,
and
yours
,
made
Priests
to
get
Bread
for
that
piece
of
Service
.
3.
The
Loyalty
of
your
Conspirators
did
highly
appear
in
that
accession
they
had
to
the
Death
of
Charles
the
First
,
they
did
contrive
it
;
and
this
hath
been
made
appear
to
their
shame
and
disgrace
(
if
ever
they
were
capable
of
any
)
;
that
King
was
himself
informed
a
little
before
he
was
executed
,
that
the
Jesuits
,
at
a
general
Meeting
at
Paris
,
in
revenge
for
his
condescending
in
the
Treaty
at
the
Isle
of
Wight
to
pass
some
Bills
in
prejudice
of
them
,
and
the
Romish
Religion
,
had
unanimously
resolved
by
the
Power
,
and
Interest
,
and
Influence
,
that
they
had
in
,
and
upon
the
Army
,
to
bring
him
to
Justice
,
and
get
him
executed
;
and
accordingly
,
when
the
stroke
was
given
,
both
one
that
was
a
Romish
Priest
and
Confessor
,
brandished
his
Sword
,
and
proclaimed
that
now
their
greatest
Enemy
was
cut
off
,
and
destroyed
.
I
suppose
,
Sir
,
you
,
and
your
Party
,
will
be
convinced
,
if
you
observe
a
Passage
from
one
that
knew
those
Transanctions
,
and
see
what
he
saith
in
his
Letter
to
a
Reverend
Divine
of
the
Church
of
England
;
it
bears
date
,
Aug.
9.1673
.
This
I
may
safely
say
,
and
will
do
it
confidently
,
That
many
Arguments
did
create
a
violent
suspicion
,
very
near
convincing
Evidences
,
that
the
Irreligion
of
the
Papists
was
chiefly
the
occasion
of
the
murther
of
that
Prince
;
the
odium
whereof
they
would
file
to
the
Account
of
the
Protestant
Religion
.
However
,
Sir
,
your
Popish
Conspirators
having
not
only
escaped
the
legal
Arraignments
upon
this
account
,
but
having
since
the
Restoration
of
K.
Charles
the
IId
,
been
esteemed
by
your self
,
and
some
other
pretended
Friends
of
that
King
,
they
have
thereupon
arrived
at
more
respect
;
and
to
carry
on
your
damnable
Designs
,
they
have
enjoyed
more
peace
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
than
they
were
in
possession
of
at
any
time
since
the
Reformation
.
4.
But
how
little
they
deserved
this
Honour
and
Peace
both
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
you
may
see
in
a
fourth
Particular
;
and
that
was
in
the
Escape
of
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
from
Worcester
,
1651.
how
did
they
above
all
men
,
endeavour
to
betray
and
sacrifice
that
King
unto
the
hands
of
his
Enemies
;
And
who
was
to
pay
the
1000
l.
promised
for
his
being
discovered
,
and
taken
,
but
Father
Joseph
Symmonds
,
and
Father
Carleton
Compton
,
both
Jesuits
;
and
whence
that
Money
came
,
Sir
,
you
well
know
,
as
did
the
Queen
,
your
Mother
;
for
you
know
,
that
your
Mother
,
and
your self
,
was
in
a
plot
against
his
Life
,
that
you
might
wear
the
Name
and
Title
of
a
King
,
as
being
the
more
likely
to
perform
what
your
Brother
had
so
lustily
promised
to
the
Popish
Party
.
It
is
true
,
Sir
,
that
one
or
two
of
the
Romish
Persuasion
,
amongst
many
loyal
and
faithful
Protestants
,
both
Male
and
Fem●le
,
might
then
have
contributed
to
that
King's
Deliverance
;
but
such
,
Sir
,
have
been
by
your self
,
and
Party
,
well
chidden
,
reproached
,
and
discountenanced
,
and
called
Fools
,
for
this
grain
of
Loyalty
,
more
owing
to
their
English
Blood
,
than
Romish
Principles
.
5.
Since
my
hand
is
in
,
give
me
leave
to
add
a
fifth
Instance
of
their
Loyalty
to
your
Family
.
That
Popish
Lord
is
not
unknown
,
nor
yet
forgotten
,
who
brought
a
Petition
to
the
late
Protector
,
signed
by
about
500
Principal
Papists
in
England
,
wherein
they
promised
upon
condition
of
a
Toleration
of
the
Popish
Religion
here
by
a
Law
,
their
joint
Resolution
to
abjure
and
exclude
the
Family
of
the
Stewarts
for
ever
from
enjoying
the
Crown
.
This
,
Sir
,
you
know
startled
you
when
you
heard
of
that
Attempt
;
a
man
that
hath
but
an
Irish
Understanding
,
may
easily
judge
from
hence
of
the
Loyalty
of
that
Party
of
men
;
I
would
willingly
,
Sir
,
appear
to
any
one
of
your
dear
Joys
,
and
stand
by
his
Judgment
in
that
Case
.
6.
One
Point
more
,
and
then
,
Sir
,
I
shall
have
done
upon
this
Head
;
and
that
is
the
Loyalty
of
your
Popish
Conspirators
,
who
to
ingratiate
themselves
with
the
Government
of
the
said
Protector
,
procured
Manning
to
be
a
Spy
upon
your
Brother
;
and
he
was
not
only
allowed
well
by
that
Party
by
your
direction
,
but
also
had
a
very
Bountiful
Pension
too
,
by
the
said
Protector
;
but
he
was
in
due
time
found
out
,
and
executed
by
your
Brother
;
he
was
of
the
same
Red
Letter
with
your self
;
and
therefore
,
when
dead
,
he
had
Masses
sung
for
him
as
the
usual
Reward
and
Playster
.
There
were
other
Specimens
of
their
Loyalty
,
but
I
forbear
to
mention
them
now
,
because
there
are
some
other
things
to
be
discoursed
with
you
;
but
this
I
say
,
That
we
should
have
forgotten
and
forgiven
all
these
soul
Proceedings
of
your
dearly
beloved
Popish
Party
;
and
we
should
not
have
envied
the
Security
they
enjoyed
,
or
the
Favours
through
your
procurement
they
had
attained
to
;
provided
they
had
not
abused
them
in
joining
with
you
to
subvert
the
Protestant
Religion
and
Government
,
in
turning
the
one
into
downright
Popery
,
and
the
other
into
French
Slavery
;
but
alas
,
good
men
and
true
,
such
an
opportunity
of
promoting
the
Catholick
Religion
was
not
to
be
lost
;
they
having
a
Prince
converted
to
such
a
degree
of
Zeal
and
Piety
,
as
not
to
regard
any
thing
in
the
World
in
comparison
of
the
Conversion
of
England
,
that
hath
a
long
time
been
oppressed
,
and
miserably
harassed
with
Herery
and
Schism
;
to
accomplish
which
,
you
would
assassinate
the
King's
Person
,
destroy
our
City
,
murther
his
Majesty's
Subjects
,
subvert
our
Religion
,
and
disturb
the
Peace
of
Mankind
;
and
your
present
Design
that
is
discovered
,
doth
prove
beyond
all
manner
of
objection
and
doubt
,
That
that
,
Sir
,
throw
your
Brother's
,
and
your
grace
and
favour
,
they
did
then
carry
on
their
Designs
for
advancing
the
Power
of
the
Pope
and
French
King
,
to
advance
the
Religion
of
the
one
,
and
the
Interest
and
Government
of
the
other
;
none
daring
to
suggest
the
least
thing
to
bring
them
under
jealousie
,
who
would
not
be
aspersed
for
being
Maligners
of
the
King
's
best
Friends
,
and
your
Fellow-Conspirators
;
till
one
appeared
,
and
took
the
Popish
and
French
Interest
by
the
Collar
,
and
gave
it
such
a
deadly
wound
,
that
it
could
not
recover
it self
to
this
day
,
but
you
were
even
with
him
for
it
,
when
you
usurped
the
Government
;
and
so
I
conclude
this
Head
.
2.
A
second
thing
that
gave
you
,
and
your
Popish
Conspirators
,
such
an
advantage
for
the
carrying
on
you
wicked
Designs
and
Purposes
,
was
the
unhappy
Divisions
amongst
us
poor
Protestants
;
for
as
the
Conspirators
improved
that
little
Stock
of
Credit
they
had
by
being
for
Charles
the
First
in
the
Civil
War
,
against
himself
and
Parliament
;
and
the
Priests
,
Jesuits
and
Fryars
made
use
of
that
Credit
to
reduce
us
to
the
Obedience
of
the
See
of
Rome
;
so
you
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Popish
Crew
,
made
use
of
our
Divisions
amongst
our selves
,
to
carry
on
the
same
Design
.
Now
,
Sir
,
there
were
two
main
things
which
did
greatly
administer
to
this
unhappy
Division
.
1.
The
Parties
divided
were
come
to
a
more
equal
Ballance
,
as
to
numbers
,
on
each
side
respectively
,
than
at
any
Season
heretofore
:
For
,
Sir
,
consider
this
,
That
during
the
Reigns
of
Q.
Elizabeth
,
K.
James
I.
and
K.
Charles
I.
the
Dissenters
,
from
the
Established
way
of
the
Church
of
England
,
were
but
few
,
in
comparison
of
those
who
were
for
Prelacy
,
and
the
Rites
and
Ceremonies
required
by
Law
in
their
Worship
and
Service
of
God
;
so
that
there
being
little
or
no
jealousy
of
any
danger
to
the
Church
of
England
from
the
Protestant
Dissenters
,
how
zealous
soever
they
might
be
in
their
way
;
yet
the
watchfulness
of
the
Prelates
,
and
their
Curates
,
were
chiefly
exercised
upon
those
of
the
Romish
Communion
:
But
the
Protestant
Dissenters
since
are
like
to
the
People
of
Israel
,
in
the
Land
of
Egypt
,
very
much
multiplied
,
to
that
degree
,
that
they
are
come
nearer
to
the
other
Party
,
than
heretofore
they
did
;
the
main
care
therefore
of
the
Prelates
,
and
their
inferior
Clergy
,
together
with
old
Roger
their
Guide
,
did
much
abate
towards
their
old
Friends
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
exerted
the
same
to
the
Protestant
Dissenters
.
2.
But
another
great
Cause
of
the
dividing
the
Protestant
Interest
,
was
the
very
severe
,
but
just
Entertainment
,
the
Prelates
,
with
the
Scandalous
and
Ignorant
Clergy
met
with
from
the
Protestant
Dissenters
in
the
late
Times
of
Reformation
;
when
they
were
restored
by
the
return
of
your
Brother
from
Exile
,
they
measured
the
same
again
to
the
Protestant
Dissenters
,
when
they
had
the
Law
on
their
side
,
and
your
Grace
and
Favour
into
the
bargain
;
they
remembred
all
the
old
Scores
,
by
which
great
Animosities
and
Heats
have
been
between
Party
and
Party
;
the
Prelates
aiming
then
at
the
ruin
of
the
Dissenters
for
aiming
at
the
reformation
of
Prelacy
and
Superstition
.
By
this
,
I
say
,
a
difference
is
risen
,
that
in
all
humane
probability
can
never
be
made
up
.
We
cannot
but
from
hence
very
easily
,
not
only
by
Reason
,
but
by
Experience
,
gather
the
great
use
you
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Popish
Party
,
made
of
them
to
carry
on
their
Designs
for
the
subverting
the
Religion
and
Government
of
this
Nation
:
For
,
as
the
pretence
of
these
Divisions
hath
been
made
use
of
as
an
Argument
to
pervert
such
as
knew
not
that
the
Divisions
of
your
Synagogue
of
Rome
are
more
numerous
,
and
their
Fewds
more
irreconcileable
than
ours
;
so
subtile
have
your
Conspirators
been
,
by
winding
themselves
into
all
Companies
;
nay
,
mustering
themselves
in
all
Parties
;
endeavoured
both
to
heighten
the
Differences
,
to
make
their
Annimosities
not
only
hotter
,
but
more
immortal
;
and
while
the
one
Party
of
Protestants
have
been
crying
out
against
the
other
for
their
Schism
,
and
the
other
crying
out
against
them
for
their
Superstition
and
Persecution
;
you
,
and
your
Party
,
to
the
reproach
of
both
,
were
undermining
that
holy
Faith
which
they
equally
center
in
;
and
carrying
a
Design
of
destroying
the
one
as
well
as
the
other
,
they
being
,
in
you
esteem
,
both
equally
Hereticks
.
3.
A
third
thing
that
contributed
much
to
your
bringing
of
Popery
and
Slavery
into
these
Kingdoms
,
was
the
general
Prophaneness
and
Debauchery
which
had
overspread
these
Nations
beyond
what
in
any
former
Reign
had
been
observed
.
Sir
,
You
in
this
,
by
,
and
with
the
Consent
,
Advice
,
and
Example
of
the
King
,
your
Brother
;
and
your
Conspirators
followed
the
Counsel
of
Cardinal
Mazarine
,
in
the
Year
1654.
at
Paris
,
when
the
Popish
Party
were
but
at
a
low
ebb
in
England
;
That
the
only
way
to
accomplish
the
Work
in
England
,
was
to
debauch
them
first
,
and
make
them
Atheists
;
and
when
that
was
done
,
they
would
soon
make
good
Papists
;
for
this
you
well
knew
,
and
so
did
your
Popish
Party
,
That
a
prophane
,
debauched
Person
is
truly
of
no
Religion
,
and
therefore
indifferent
to
seem
to
be
of
any
,
as
Interest
and
Temptation
sways
him
;
so
it
is
plain
,
that
no
man
cares
to
be
of
that
Religion
,
which
condemns
all
those
Ways
and
Practices
which
he
is
resolved
to
pursue
with
his
utmost
vigour
.
Do
but
take
notice
that
the
Popish
Religion
was
such
as
would
allow
them
in
all
those
wicked
ways
to
which
their
vicious
Inclinations
led
them
,
and
doth
secure
them
from
the
horror
and
dread
of
Eternal
Wrath
and
Vengeance
;
for
your
Religion
maketh
those
to
be
no
Sins
,
tho
committed
by
some
against
the
express
Command
of
Christ
himself
:
If
they
are
such
things
as
the
Word
of
God
hath
set
a
mark
upon
as
enormous
,
then
they
are
made
Venial
Offences
only
;
and
if
they
are
Sins
which
your
Synagogue
calls
Mortal
,
which
are
indeed
the
most
daring
and
prodigious
Enormities
,
through
their
Doctrines
of
Pennance
and
Absolutions
,
and
Papal
Indulgences
,
you
are
secure
from
the
Pains
of
the
damned
in
the
other
World
.
By
this
means
,
Sir
,
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
,
increased
the
number
of
your
Converts
,
and
strengthened
your
hands
so
far
,
that
you
boasted
to
Beddingfield
,
your
Confessor
,
That
you
did
not
doubt
:
but
in
a
very
few
years
to
have
such
a
number
of
Catholick
Gentlemen
,
and
others
,
that
you
feared
not
but
to
have
a
Catholick
Army
sufficient
to
suppress
the
Factious
Protestant
Party
,
in
case
they
should
rebel
;
this
saying
of
yours
Beddingfield
the
Jesuite
communicated
to
the
Jesuites
at
Wild-House
upon
the
24th
of
April
,
1678.
Nay
,
Your
Zeal
was
such
for
the
Popish
Religion
,
that
poor
Mr.
Jones
,
your
Chaplain-Naval
,
and
Domestick
,
for
opposing
Popery
,
was
by
you
turned
out
of
his
Imploy
,
and
left
as
a
Sacrifice
to
that
wicked
Prelate
of
Winchester
,
Dr.
Morlay
,
for
saying
,
That
it
was
his
fault
that
your
Dutchess
turnest
Papist
;
and
that
the
said
Morlay
might
have
prevented
the
Dutchess
of
York
's
being
seduced
to
Popery
,
if
he
pleased
;
and
that
her
turning
Papist
was
to
be
laid
at
his
door
.
You
therefore
would
not
for
a
long
time
pay
him
his
Wages
,
tho
that
most
Christian
Prelate
had
sued
him
upon
the
Statute
de
Scandulis
Magnatum
,
to
the
poor
man's
utter
ruin
;
for
his
Living
was
extended
,
and
he
left
to
perish
for
want
of
Bread
:
And
he
had
never
received
his
Arrears
due
to
him
in
your
Service
,
had
I
not
shamed
old
Sir
Allen
Apsley
publickly
in
Westminster-Hall
for
it
,
you
pretending
it
was
referred
to
him
.
Moreover
,
I
told
him
,
If
he
did
not
pay
Jones
,
I
would
fetch
it
out
of
his
old
Bones
;
it
was
a
time
Sir
,
when
Men
began
to
observe
your
steps
,
and
perceive
your
Designs
,
so
Jones
,
much
against
your
Will
,
got
his
Money
,
and
after
that
Jones
had
suffered
several
years
Famine
from
that
Villanons
Old
Priest
of
our
Church
,
and
he
could
not
hold
his
Living
from
him
any
longer
,
he
most
Graciously
delivered
Jones
from
the
extent
;
but
Jones
being
so
ill
used
by
Morley
,
he
died
within
a
year
or
two
after
he
had
his
Living
restored
;
but
by
the
way
,
Sir
,
by
the
Dutchess
of
York
,
I
mean
her
that
was
the
Daughter
of
the
Earl
of
Clarendon
,
sometimes
Lord
Chancellor
,
but
the
two
Ladies
your
Daughters
,
were
by
God's
Providence
saved
from
being
corrupted
by
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
.
Now
Sir
it
remains
that
I
tell
you
,
or
rather
put
you
in
mind
what
Steps
your
Conspirators
took
to
ruin
these
Nations
;
they
were
,
Sir
,
your
Favourites
,
and
!
of
the
same
Religion
,
and
of
the
same
Interest
with
your self
,
for
you
having
made
such
Advantages
from
the
three
Heads
before-mentioned
,
and
by
these
means
strengthened
you
Hands
to
dispose
you
to
do
the
Three
Kingdoms
what
mischief
you
pleased
:
Therefore
it
follows
,
that
you
now
be
put
in
mind
what
Steps
you
took
for
the
ruin
of
the
Protestant
Religion
and
the
Established
Government
of
these
three
Nations
.
I
shall
only
name
these
few
that
follow
.
1.
The
first
great
Step
that
your
Conspirators
took
to
the
ruin
of
these
Nations
,
and
subjugate
them
to
Hell
and
Rome
,
was
that
wicked
Fire
of
London
;
which
was
begun
,
and
carried
on
by
your
Popish
Conspirators
,
to
ruin
this
great
and
populous
City
,
that
had
been
for
many
years
the
Bulwark
of
the
Protestant
Religion
;
which
they
compleated
without
the
least
remorse
or
pity
:
You
your self
beheld
its
Flames
with
Joy
,
and
viewed
its
Ruins
with
much
rejoycing
,
as
old
Gray
the
Jesuite
was
pleased
to
say
in
a
Letter
of
his
in
November
,
1666.
to
the
Jesuits
at
St.
Omers
.
Sir
,
I
will
not
charge
you
with
the
actual
burning
of
London
,
because
it
was
below
you
to
be
ingaged
in
the
very
Act
;
and
you
had
Rogues
mean
enough
to
serve
you
in
so
base
a
piece
of
Villany
;
but
of
this
I
am
certain
,
That
when
any
were
taken
in
the
Fact
,
you
your self
discharged
them
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
you
,
and
your
Guards
actually
hindered
many
of
the
poor
Citizens
from
saving
their
Goods
from
the
Flames
,
and
protected
those
that
did
aid
and
abet
the
Fire
;
and
some
of
them
you
preferred
;
and
since
you
usurped
the
Throne
,
you
gave
them
marks
of
your
Favour
:
As
for
instance
,
the
Chyrurgeon
that
lived
in
the
Savoy
,
a
Frenchman
,
that
went
by
the
name
of
Ch●queaux
,
and
others
,
whose
Names
occur
not
to
my
memory
;
and
several
Irish-men
in
gaged
in
that
Hellish
Villany
,
you
caused
to
be
preferred
.
Upon
the
whole
,
Whether
you
had
not
a
hand
in
that
Fire
,
I
leave
all
the
World
,
and
your
own
Conscience
,
to
judge
.
It
will
not
be
unnecessary
Sir
,
to
put
you
in
mind
of
the
account
I
have
had
of
it
from
some
of
those
who
were
Conspiratos
,
and
were
engaged
in
the
Fact
,
Richard
Stra●ge
,
a
great
Favourite
of
yours
,
and
sometimes
your
Father
.
Confessor
in
Ordinary
,
used
it
as
a
great
Argument
to
me
to
go
on
to
assist
the
Design
of
the
Society
,
who
told
me
that
they
got
14000
l.
in
the
Fire
of
London
in
the
Year
1666.
and
not
only
so
,
but
you
your self
was
in
their
Counsels
when
it
was
determined
,
yea
,
and
your
Brother
too
,
which
I
durst
not
for
my
life
discover
,
because
of
the
Promise
I
had
made
to
Prince
Ruport
,
not
to
mention
any
thing
to
the
Parliament
that
might
touch
the
King
,
but
he
afterwards
heartily
repented
of
his
giving
,
and
I
did
also
of
taking
that
Counsel
,
and
so
you
escaped
;
for
I
could
not
Charge
you
but
must
Charge
him
too
:
But
the
Prince
knew
of
it
,
and
so
did
King
Charles
himself
;
but
this
let
me
tell
you
,
That
in
a
Letter
of
yours
Signed
Lieutenant
,
to
Father
Courtney
,
of
Aug.
12.
1667.
you
did
declare
your
Resentment
of
the
Dutch
firing
our
Ships
at
Chatham
,
and
what
a
dishonour
it
was
to
the
King
and
his
Friends
,
but
this
you
said
was
your
Comfort
,
that
London's
Pride
was
sufficiently
pull'd
down
;
and
as
the
burning
the
Ships
at
Chatham
had
been
the
cause
of
much
trouble
at
Court
,
but
it
was
much
allayed
by
the
hopes
that
Factious
City
would
scarce
be
built
again
,
unless
to
the
ruin
of
the
Undertakers
;
the
Fanaticks
(
said
you
)
may
now
studdy
again
the
number
of
the
Beast
.
Langhorne
that
had
a
hand
in
the
Fire
by
being
Privy
to
it
,
who
sollicited
King
Charles
more
in
his
behalf
,
than
your self
and
imployed
Portsmouth
that
French
Spy
and
Whore
to
use
her
Interest
to
procure
his
Pardon
.
I
shall
add
the
Promise
that
I
had
of
your
Favour
by
Sir
Allen
your
Trusty
Tool
,
if
I
would
spare
that
part
of
my
Evidence
concerning
John
Grove
,
about
his
Firing
of
Southwark
,
and
how
you
sollicited
for
his
Life
in
conjunction
with
Portsmouth
,
you
cannot
forget
I
am
sure
;
and
the
King
asked
you
whether
you
had
a
desire
to
bring
the
whole
Nation
about
his
Ears
,
for
after
the
Firing
of
Southwark
was
Sworn
against
him
,
the
King
told
You
and
Portsmouth
too
,
he
durst
not
Pardon
Grove
.
You
cannot
forget
Conyers
the
Benedictine
Monk
,
who
whilst
you
were
a
Votary
of
that
Order
,
was
one
of
your
Father
Confessors
;
him
you
brought
into
White-Hall
though
Evidence
was
given
in
against
him
of
being
to
be
one
of
the
Murderers
of
King
Charles
the
Second
;
and
the
King
himself
told
the
then
Lord
Chancellor
,
That
if
there
was
no
other
Evidence
against
him
but
that
of
his
being
to
have
a
hand
in
his
Murder
,
the
said
Conyers
would
surrender
himself
;
but
the
Lord
Chancellor
told
the
King
,
That
there
was
other
Evidence
against
him
,
of
Matters
of
high
Concern
;
and
the
Lord
Chancellor
told
you
in
your
Ear
,
That
he
would
be
Charged
with
the
Fire
of
London
,
at
which
you
were
much
appaled
,
and
went
to
Conyers
who
you
had
planted
in
the
Dark
Lobby
before
the
Council
Chamber
,
that
opened
into
the
Privy
Gallery
,
and
you
came
out
to
Conyers
,
and
bad
him
shift
for
himself
;
and
when
the
Council
sat
down
I
was
called
in
,
and
asked
if
I
could
make
out
any
thing
against
Conyers
as
to
the
Fire
of
London
,
I
told
the
King
I
could
,
and
so
Sir
you
must
stand
Charged
in
some
respects
to
have
had
a
hand
in
Firing
of
London
.
2.
A
second
Step
which
you
and
the
unwearied
Enemies
of
the
Protestant
Religion
in
these
Realms
took
towards
the
Extirpation
of
it
,
and
the
Subverting
the
Government
was
,
to
interest
the
French
King
in
your
Councels
;
and
you
having
in
a
great
measure
engaged
him
to
assist
you
with
Money
,
and
with
what
else
might
be
convenient
for
the
Executing
your
Wicked
Enterprises
,
I
must
justifie
this
Point
from
your
Letter
to
Lechaise
the
French
King's
Confessor
,
wherein
you
say
thus
:
H●
Most
Christian
Majesty
offered
me
most
Generously
his
Friendship
,
and
the
use
of
his
Purse
to
my
Assistance
against
the
D●signs
of
my
Enemies
and
His
:
And
professed
unto
me
,
That
His
Interest
and
Mine
were
so
clearly
linkt
together
,
that
those
who
opposed
the
one
,
should
be
lo●kt
upon
as
the
Enemies
of
the
other
.
Arlington
,
tho
a
Papist
in
his
heart
,
yet
he
was
not
of
your
Interest
,
therefore
the
French
King
told
you
his
Opinion
of
that
noble
Lord
;
therefore
you
say
thus
to
the
French
King's
Confessor
,
and
told
me
moreover
his
Opinion
of
my
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Parliament
,
which
is
,
That
neither
the
one
,
nor
the
other
,
is
in
his
Interest
or
mine
,
and
thereupon
he
desired
me
to
make
such
Proposals
as
I
should
think
fit
in
this
Conjuncture
.
Sir
,
give
me
leave
to
observe
this
to
you
,
the
Jesuits
in
the
Reigns
of
Q.
Elizabeth
,
and
of
K.
James
l.
till
the
Match
of
his
Son
with
France
,
laboured
nothing
more
diligently
than
the
advancing
the
King
of
Spain
to
the
Universal
Monarchy
of
Europe
;
but
that
Crown
being
by
various
ways
and
means
much
weakened
and
rendred
wholly
uncapable
of
aspiring
any
farther
in
that
matter
,
the
false
and
treacherous
Jesuits
have
of
late
years
applied
themselves
with
mighty
diligence
to
serve
the
Interest
,
and
to
promote
the
Grandeur
of
the
French
Monarch
.
In
which
your
own
Engagements
do
sufficiently
appear
,
for
how
have
you
with
those
first-born
of
Pride
and
Treachery
kindled
those
Flames
of
War
which
have
not
only
laid
the
most
flourishing
Provinces
in
Europe
waste
,
and
rendered
the
Kingdoms
of
Europe
Fields
of
Blood
,
and
with
them
do
still
nourish
them
to
the
Ruin
and
the
Destruction
of
so
many
millions
of
men
.
For
,
Sir
,
did
not
you
and
your
Party
,
by
the
Interests
you
had
in
almost
all
the
Courts
of
the
Princes
of
Christendom
,
influence
some
Princes
to
a
Neutrality
,
and
others
to
an
open
Confederacy
with
France
,
so
that
now
the
French
Monarchy
is
in
truth
become
very
troublesome
to
all
his
Neighbours
.
But
,
Sir
,
give
me
leave
to
make
this
Observation
to
you
,
that
the
French
King
being
arrived
at
this
formidable
Greatness
,
which
he
hath
for
several
Years
last
past
stood
in
;
you
that
plotted
and
contrived
the
ruin
of
these
three
Nations
,
drew
him
into
your
Councels
,
and
obtained
his
promise
of
Assistance
to
the
rooting
out
of
Heresy
,
and
nourishing
a
misunderstanding
between
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
his
People
;
and
this
you
and
your
Conspirators
conceived
to
be
a
main
advance
towards
the
attaining
your
wicked
Ends
and
Purposes
;
for
otherwise
you
would
not
have
so
much
laboured
the
compassing
that
point
by
your self
,
and
your
Servant
,
Coleman
,
who
was
taken
in
the
midst
of
his
pious
Labour
,
and
rewarded
with
the
Triple-tree
to
your
great
satisfaction
;
for
if
he
had
lived
,
he
might
have
told
all
,
and
some
body
else
might
have
tasted
Death
in
his
place
.
But
,
Sir
,
I
must
come
closer
to
the
Point
in
hand
,
that
is
,
your
interesting
the
French
King
in
your
Councils
;
and
in
your
Letter
to
the
said
Father
Confessor
to
the
French
King
,
you
say
,
I
was
much
satisfied
to
see
his
most
Christian
Majesty
altogether
of
my
Opinion
,
so
I
made
him
answer
by
the
same
means
he
used
to
write
to
me
,
that
is
,
by
Coleman
,
who
addrest
himself
to
Father
Ferier
,
and
intirely
agreed
to
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
as
well
to
what
respect
he
had
to
the
Vnion
of
our
Interests
,
as
the
unusefulness
of
my
Lord
Arlington
,
and
the
Parliament
,
in
order
to
the
Service
of
the
King
my
Brother
,
and
his
most
Christian
Majesty
,
and
that
it
was
necessary
to
make
use
of
our
joynt
and
utmost
use
of
our
Credits
to
prevent
the
success
of
those
evil
Designs
resolved
on
by
the
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Parliament
,
against
his
most
Christian
Majesty
and
my self
,
which
on
my
side
I
promise
really
to
perform
;
of
which
,
since
that
time
I
have
given
reasonable
good
proof
.
I
pray
,
Sir
,
what
was
your
Opinion
?
It
was
the
French
King's
Opinion
,
which
was
that
your
Interests
were
so
clearly
linkt
together
,
that
those
that
opposed
the
one
,
should
be
looked
upon
as
Enemies
to
the
other
.
Did
you
agree
with
the
French
King
in
any
thing
else
?
Yes
,
That
the
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Parliament
,
were
not
in
your
Interest
,
nor
in
the
Interest
of
the
French
King
.
And
I
agree
with
you
,
Sir
,
in
omnibus
;
but
what
of
this
?
Then
the
Designs
of
Arlington
,
and
of
the
Parliament
must
be
prevented
:
What
,
I
pray
,
were
those
?
They
were
to
engage
the
King
;
if
possible
,
to
enter
into
a
League
offensive
and
defensive
with
the
States
General
of
the
Vnited
Provinces
,
and
to
joyn
with
the
Confederate
Princes
,
and
to
enter
into
an
actual
War
with
France
,
and
to
advance
the
Prince
of
Orange
by
marrying
your
eldest
Daughter
to
him
:
This
last
was
done
full
sore
against
yours
,
and
your
Brother's
Will
,
but
the
other
were
not
done
;
so
zealoufly
you
had
engaged
your
Brother
in
the
French
Interest
.
That
these
were
the
Lord
Arlington's
designs
,
and
the
designs
of
that
Part
of
the
Parliament
that
gave
themselves
Leisure
to
design
,
is
apparent
from
what
you
say
in
the
same
Letter
,
thus
,
Moreover
,
I
made
some
Proposals
which
I
thought
necessary
to
bring
to
pass
what
we
were
obliged
to
undertake
;
assuring
him
,
that
nothing
could
be
so
firmly
established
,
our
Interest
with
the
King
my
Brother
,
as
that
very
same
Offer
of
the
help
of
his
Purse
,
by
which
means
I
had
much
Reason
to
hope
to
perswade
him
to
the
Dissolving
of
the
Parliament
,
and
to
make
void
the
Designs
of
my
Lord
Arlington
,
who
works
incessantly
to
advance
the
Interest
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
and
the
Hollanders
,
and
to
lessen
that
of
the
King
your
Master
.
And
did
my
Lord
Arlington
do
so
?
It
seems
he
did
;
and
I
think
it
was
the
only
good
thing
that
ever
he
did
;
for
which
he
was
to
be
destroyed
,
and
the
Parliament
dissolved
,
and
every
thing
that
stood
in
the
way
of
France
and
your self
;
nay
,
a
Parliament
that
is
not
in
your
Interest
must
not
stand
.
We
have
seen
into
my
Lord
Arlington's
Designs
,
I
pray
,
what
were
yours
and
the
French
King's
,
for
which
you
had
made
some
Proposals
,
and
compare
them
together
:
Yours
and
the
French
King's
Designs
were
to
ruin
the
Protestant
Religion
,
as
Coleman
in
his
Letter
to
the
Pope's
Internuncio
at
Bruxels
,
Aug.
21.
74.
But
Arlington's
was
to
lessen
,
and
if
possible
,
he
was
to
destroy
the
Interest
of
the
French
King
.
You
had
a
mighty
Work
upon
your
hands
,
no
less
than
the
Conversion
of
three
Kingdoms
,
and
the
utter
Subduing
of
a
pestilent
Heresie
,
which
had
for
some
time
domineered
over
this
Northern
part
of
the
World
:
and
you
had
never
so
great
hopes
of
it
,
since
your
Queen
Mary
's
Days
.
The
Lord
Arlington
he
had
a
mighty
Work
in
hand
too
,
and
that
was
to
advance
the
Interest
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
and
the
Dutch
,
who
were
much
in
danger
of
being
subdued
by
the
French
King
.
You
for
your
Designs
,
next
to
God
Almighty
,
you
relyed
upon
the
mighty
Mind
of
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
,
for
his
Aid
and
Assistance
:
But
Arlington
did
rely
upon
the
mighty
Mind
of
an
English
Parliament
,
for
their
Aid
and
Assistance
.
Your
Design
was
to
get
the
Parliament
dissolved
and
never
to
have
another
;
His
design
was
to
have
this
dissolved
,
and
speedily
to
call
another
:
Yours
was
for
advancing
the
French
Interest
;
and
his
,
tho
he
was
a
Papist
,
was
for
advancing
the
Interest
of
the
Confederates
,
and
to
lessen
the
Interest
of
the
French
King
:
You
were
for
Three
hundred
thousand
Pounds
,
advanced
by
the
French
King
,
to
give
the
Protestant
Religion
such
a
Blow
as
it
could
not
subsist
;
but
he
,
for
nothing
,
was
to
give
the
French
King
and
his
Interest
such
a
Blow
as
that
should
not
subsist
.
The
French
King
,
by
La
Chaise
,
gives
you
and
your
Secretary
thanks
for
your
Zeal
and
Service
in
order
to
the
promoting
the
Popish
Religion
:
and
I
do
not
question
but
the
Prince
of
Orange
and
the
Dutch
were
as
thankful
,
by
their
Ministers
at
our
Court
,
to
the
Lord
Arlington
and
his
Party
,
for
promoting
their
Cause
and
Interest
with
the
Parliament
:
Your
design
was
to
establish
a
good
Understanding
between
the
King
your
Brother
and
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
and
your self
,
which
you
say
Arlington
and
his
Party
endeavoured
,
by
a
thousand
Deceits
,
to
break
,
to
the
end
they
might
supplant
all
three
of
you
;
but
Arlington's
Design
was
to
establish
a
good
Understanding
and
Intelligence
between
the
Parliament
,
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
the
States-General
:
You
say
that
Arlington
and
his
Party
had
used
a
thousand
Deceits
to
carry
on
his
Rogueries
to
betray
the
Councils
of
France
and
England
;
and
you
and
your
Party
used
Ten
thousand
Rogueries
to
betray
England
,
Holland
,
and
the
Prince
of
Orange
to
the
French
King
:
You
said
,
through
the
Deceits
of
the
Lord
Arlington
,
your
Designs
succeeded
not
,
but
through
your
Violence
and
Folly
,
his
Designs
succeeded
to
the
Honour
of
God
and
the
Happiness
of
the
three
Kingdoms
and
you
are
living
upon
the
Charity
of
that
Monster
of
Mankind
whose
Interest
you
advanced
whilst
you
were
here
.
But
you
will
say
,
what
is
all
this
to
the
Purpose
?
Yes
,
it
is
much
to
the
Purpose
.
You
may
see
that
the
Nation
knows
well
how
you
interested
the
French
King
in
all
your
Councils
,
to
change
the
Protestant
Religion
into
down-right
Popery
,
and
the
well
established
Government
into
French
Arbitrary
Power
;
and
were
not
your
Party
grown
to
such
a
height
of
Insolence
,
that
they
boasted
openly
of
the
Aid
and
Assistance
the
French
was
to
give
for
the
setting
up
the
Romish
Religion
.
3.
A
Third
Step
you
took
to
ruin
the
Protestant
Religion
and
the
well
established
Government
of
England
,
was
your
unhappy
Match
with
the
Daughter
of
Modena
.
I
must
put
you
in
mind
what
the
Opinion
of
the
then
Parliament
entertained
of
that
Match
,
and
that
you
may
see
in
these
following
Particulars
.
1.
That
it
would
disquiet
the
Minds
of
the
Protestants
at
home
,
and
fill
them
with
endless
Jealousies
and
Discontents
,
and
would
bring
the
King
your
Brother
into
such
Alliances
abroad
as
might
prove
highly
prejudicial
,
if
not
destructive
,
to
the
Protestant
Religion
it self
.
Now
Sir
,
it
was
your
main
Design
to
inflame
the
hearts
of
the
People
,
and
put
them
upon
a
Ferment
.
And
you
engaged
the
King
in
the
said
Marriage
,
as
might
put
him
upon
those
Alliances
as
might
weaken
his
Esteem
with
his
People
,
and
strengthen
you
and
your
Popish
Cut-●hroats
in
your
Conspiracy
against
the
Peace
and
Tranquility
of
the
Nation
:
For
,
Sir
,
in
a
Letter
of
Coleman's
to
Ashby
,
the
Rector
of
S.
Omers
,
he
saith
,
you
commanded
him
to
let
the
Fathers
know
,
that
that
Match
was
to
strengthen
the
Catholick
Cause
and
Interest
,
and
that
now
the
King
your
Brother
,
who
had
ingaged
in
it
,
would
be
engaged
to
unite
himself
in
a
more
near
Alliance
to
his
Majesty
of
France
,
and
the
Princes
of
Italy
,
Apr.
2.
1674.
2.
That
they
had
found
by
sad
experience
,
that
such
Matches
had
encouraged
Popery
within
this
Kingdom
,
and
had
given
Opportunity
to
Prieists
and
Jesuits
to
propagate
their
wicked
and
devilish
Doctrines
,
and
to
seduce
great
numbers
of
the
King's
Protestant
Subjects
.
You
that
had
such
a
mighty
Work
upon
your
hands
,
as
the
Conversion
of
three
Kingdoms
,
and
the
Subduing
of
a
pestilent
Heresie
which
had
so
long
domineered
in
these
Kingdoms
;
and
it
being
a
great
Work
,
and
the
Labourers
in
your
great
Harvest
being
but
few
,
and
you
being
like
to
meet
with
mighty
Opposition
,
as
indeed
you
did
,
and
an
effectual
one
too
,
so
that
it
did
import
you
to
have
all
the
Assistance
you
could
,
that
your
Labourers
might
not
be
out
of
breath
;
and
tho'
,
next
to
Gods
(
or
rather
the
Devil's
)
Providence
,
you
did
rely
on
the
mighty
Mind
of
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
,
whose
Generous
Soul
had
inclined
him
to
many
Barbarous
and
Traiterous
Undertakings
;
and
tho'
his
Temper
was
,
in
that
,
very
much
like
your
own
;
yet
three
or
four
Strings
to
your
Bow
,
were
more
than
one
for
the
more
Alliances
abroad
with
Catholick
Princes
,
would
increase
the
Number
of
your
Labourers
in
the
Devil's
Harvest
:
Therefore
in
order
to
this
,
what
Alliances
you
were
engaging
your
Brother
in
,
you
well
know
,
and
you
cannot
forget
how
all
that
Design
was
dashed
,
and
by
whom
.
But
,
Sir
,
you
must
be
stone-blind
,
and
so
must
your
whole
Party
,
if
you
did
not
see
that
Experience
had
taught
my
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Parliament
how
such
Matches
had
been
fatal
to
this
Kingdom
and
to
their
Designs
:
The
Match
of
the
King
,
your
Father
,
with
the
Daughter
of
France
,
was
the
first
Step
that
was
taken
to
advance
Popery
and
the
French
Interest
in
England
;
and
when
she
came
over
,
what
a
Swarm
of
Priests
and
Friars
followed
her
;
and
what
Numbers
of
Priests
and
Jesuits
she
protected
,
and
what
Numbers
were
seduced
in
hopes
of
Employment
under
her
,
or
of
Preferment
by
her
Grace
and
Favour
;
and
how
that
unhappy
Prince
was
influenced
by
her
Councils
till
she
had
promoted
a
War
in
Scotland
by
the
Influence
of
that
old
Incendiary
,
Cardinal
Richlieu
,
and
the
Rebellion
in
Ireland
,
and
the
bloody
Civil
Wars
here
,
which
terminated
in
the
Ruin
,
and
,
by
the
Just
Judgment
of
God
,
in
the
untimely
end
of
your
Father
.
2.
The
Match
of
the
King
your
Brother
with
the
Daughter
of
Portugal
,
by
whom
he
could
,
through
the
Blessing
of
God
,
have
no
Issue
:
This
Lady
,
what
she
wanted
in
Understanding
to
be
a
Councellour
,
she
had
made
up
to
her
,
in
the
blessed
Gifts
of
Malice
,
and
Treason
,
and
Revenge
,
which
she
exercised
to
the
utmost
:
And
what
Swarms
of
Priests
,
Jesuits
,
Monks
,
and
Friars
were
by
her
protected
,
and
with
what
Zeal
she
promoted
the
Romish
Religion
,
and
protected
Men
that
were
in
a
Conspiracy
against
our
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
;
and
how
great
Numbers
were
by
her
Priests
perverted
to
the
Romish
Faith
,
to
the
great
disquiet
of
the
Government
,
the
Parliament
well
knew
:
And
therefore
,
Sir
,
you
must
know
that
the
Experience
they
had
of
these
two
considerable
Matches
,
how
fatal
they
had
been
to
these
Kingdoms
,
was
a
sufficient
Motive
for
to
interpose
in
yours
.
3.
The
Parliament
observed
how
your
Devilish
Popish
Party
were
animated
by
the
hopes
of
this
Match
before
it
was
consummate
,
which
were
discouraged
by
the
King's
Concessions
at
the
last
meeting
of
that
Parliament
;
you
know
what
they
were
,
the
Breaking
the
Indulgence
,
and
the
Passing
the
Test
Bill
.
My
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Parliament
were
very
prosperous
in
their
Rogueries
(
as
you
called
them
)
those
Sons
of
Zerviah
were
then
too
many
for
you
and
your
damnable
Crew
.
It
is
remembred
,
upon
the
hopes
of
this
Match
,
that
a
Protestant
could
scarce
come
within
your
Court
at
S.
James's
,
but
he
was
affronted
by
your
Popish
Crew
,
and
scarce
a
better
Word
than
Damn
you
for
a
Heretick
Dog
;
and
when
Complaints
were
made
to
you
of
these
Insolencies
,
the
Complainer
found
no
other
Redress
than
,
What
Business
had
you
there
?
insomuch
that
this
sort
of
Carriage
was
observed
by
the
Parliament
,
and
upon
this
Consideration
they
interposed
with
all
their
Might
,
to
hinder
,
if
possible
,
the
Consummation
of
the
intended
Marriage
to
that
Italian
Princess
.
4.
They
did
greatly
fear
it
would
occasion
the
lessening
the
Affections
of
the
People
to
your
Person
,
and
for
that
you
were
so
nearly
related
to
the
Crown
,
they
desired
that
your
Honour
and
Esteem
should
be
preserved
:
But
had
they
known
of
your
Trayterous
Confederacy
with
the
French
King
,
and
with
him
designing
to
subvert
our
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
,
they
would
sooner
have
addressed
for
your
being
Banished
from
the
King's
Presence
and
his
Councils
for
ever
,
if
not
to
have
sent
you
out
of
the
World
as
you
justly
deserved
.
But
,
Sir
,
you
may
remember
,
that
you
once
were
the
Darling
of
the
Nation
,
and
had
the
Esteem
and
Affections
of
the
People
,
upon
the
Account
of
your
being
the
Son
and
Brother
of
a
King
,
and
stood
in
a
very
near
Relation
to
the
Crown
of
England
in
the
time
of
your
Brothers
Reign
;
but
when
your
Traiterous
Designs
were
laid
open
,
the
Parliament
,
Apr.
27.
1679.
Resolved
,
That
your
being
a
Papist
,
and
the
Hopes
of
your
coming
such
to
the
Crown
had
given
the
greatest
Encouragement
to
the
then
discovered
Conspiracy
and
Designs
of
the
Papists
against
his
Majesty
your
Brother
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
:
Notwithstanding
this
Vote
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
you
had
an
impudent
Crew
that
did
endeavour
to
perswade
the
Nation
,
and
not
without
some
Effect
,
through
the
Power
of
their
bold
Asseverations
that
you
were
no
Papist
,
but
of
the
established
Religion
;
only
that
you
were
a
Prince
of
more
Generosity
and
Greatness
of
Mind
,
than
to
comply
with
the
Capricio's
of
a
Parliament
,
in
Renouncing
this
,
or
Swearing
to
that
,
as
they
should
in
humour
enact
;
which
Roguery
in
Conversation
passed
with
a
great
many
Rascally
Profligate
Protestants
,
who
would
not
believe
your
being
a
Papist
,
till
the
day
you
opened
your
Chappel
or
Oratory
,
the
next
,
or
next
Sunday
but
one
,
after
you
took
the
Crown
.
5.
The
Parliament
was
of
an
Opinion
,
that
for
an
Age
after
the
Consummation
of
the
said
Marriage
,
at
the
least
the
People
of
England
would
be
under
continued
Apprehensions
of
the
Growth
of
Popery
,
and
the
Danger
of
the
Protestant
Religion
;
and
so
they
were
an
Age
before
:
For
when
they
saw
so
many
Piracies
made
on
the
Dutch
Factories
in
the
Years
1663
,
1664.
and
a
wicked
War
commenced
in
the
Year
1665.
and
the
City
fired
by
Papists
in
the
Year
1666.
and
the
Papists
incouraged
,
not
only
in
the
Years
aforesaid
,
but
in
the
Year
1667.
and
1668.
and
Persons
that
had
a
hand
in
firing
the
City
of
London
,
not
only
protected
,
but
preferred
;
and
the
Trpiple
League
broken
,
and
another
ungodly
War
proclaimed
,
Priests
and
Jesuits
increasing
in
their
Numbers
,
and
their
Insolencies
and
Impudence
:
This
increased
the
Fears
and
Jealousies
of
the
Nation
,
and
your
first
L●dy
turning
Papist
and
dying
such
;
but
when
you
married
an
Italian
Papist
,
you
had
more
Eyes
upon
you
,
and
the
People
by
degrees
began
to
see
into
your
Designs
against
the
Protestant
Religion
and
Government
.
That
the
Protestant
Religion
was
by
this
means
in
danger
,
is
beyond
Disputation
;
for
it
had
three
great
Enemies
conspiring
against
it
,
that
had
made
a
League
together
,
to
destroy
it
and
all
those
Princes
and
States
that
did
intend
to
maintain
and
uphold
it
,
viz.
your
Brother
Charles
,
the
French
King
,
and
your self
;
and
this
Confederacy
was
set
up
to
destroy
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
the
Government
of
the
States-General
,
and
the
Parliament
of
England
;
and
this
the
Parliament
feared
,
and
therefore
they
interposed
in
this
marriage
.
Object
.
But
here
an
Objection
will
arise
:
Why
should
the
Parliament
object
against
this
Match
,
and
be
so
zealous
in
their
Interposition
to
prevent
this
Match
with
the
Daughter
of
Modena
,
since
it
is
plain
,
you
,
in
view
of
the
World
,
had
been
for
several
Months
ingaged
in
a
Treaty
of
Marriage
with
another
Catholick
Princess
;
yet
a
Parliament
,
nay
that
very
Parliament
held
during
the
time
of
the
Treaty
,
and
not
the
least
Exception
taken
at
it
?
To
this
I
Answer
,
1.
That
the
Archduchess
of
Inspruck
,
though
she
was
of
the
Romish
Religion
,
yet
she
was
an
avowed
Enemy
of
the
French
Cause
and
Interest
:
For
observe
this
,
there
were
many
Papists
,
which
,
Sir
,
you
hated
,
and
by
your
Conspirators
were
looked
upon
with
an
evil
Eye
;
for
the
Lord
Castlehaven
,
that
was
one
that
served
the
King
of
Spain
,
was
one
that
was
used
very
hardly
by
you
;
Sir
Kenelm
Digby
was
also
very
obnoxious
to
you
,
and
so
was
my
Master
,
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
being
one
of
the
Spanish
Faction
,
and
Anderson
the
Priest
,
and
several
others
that
I
can
,
when
called
to
it
,
name
,
who
were
Enemies
of
the
French
Faction
:
And
this
Lady
being
not
of
the
French
Faction
and
Interest
,
the
Match
,
through
the
Influence
of
the
French
King
,
was
broken
,
and
this
Piece
of
Flesh
you
have
was
,
sent
from
Modena
in
her
Room
.
2.
The
Match
between
you
and
that
Duchess
was
never
so
near
a
Consummation
,
as
this
between
the
Daughter
of
Modena
and
you
was
de
non
Appaparentibus
,
&
non
existentibus
eadem
est
Ratio
;
the
Match
did
not
appear
to
them
;
therefore
they
touched
not
upon
it
:
But
to
make
sure
,
they
addressed
the
King
that
you
might
not
match
with
Modena
,
or
any
other
Popish
Princess
,
for
several
weighty
Considerations
.
6.
The
House
of
Commons
considered
,
that
your
Princess
of
Modena
being
so
near
a
Relation
and
Kindred
to
the
many
Eminent
Persons
of
the
Court
of
Rome
,
might
give
great
Opportunities
to
promote
their
Designs
and
carry
on
their
Practices
amongst
us
,
and
by
the
same
means
penetrate
into
the
most
secret
Councils
of
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
more
easily
discover
the
State
of
the
whole
Kingdom
.
It
is
observed
,
that
it
is
a
standing
Rule
amongst
the
Venetians
,
that
if
one
of
their
Senators
have
a
Relation
that
is
made
a
Pope
or
Cardinal
,
or
is
preferred
to
any
great
Dignity
in
the
Court
of
Rome
,
that
the
said
Senator
withdraws
from
,
or
is
dismissed
his
serving
in
the
said
Senate
.
And
the
Reason
is
plain
:
First
,
Because
they
will
not
be
imposed
upon
by
any
of
that
Vermine
;
and
Secondly
,
Because
they
will
not
have
their
Councils
looked
into
by
any
that
belong
to
the
Court
of
Rome
;
nor
,
Thirdly
,
Will
they
have
the
Secrets
of
their
Government
discovered
to
them
;
and
lastly
,
they
will
not
have
the
State
of
their
Commonwealth
exposed
to
the
Censure
of
the
Ecclesiastical
State
.
Sir
,
You
were
no
sooner
married
,
but
how
Letters
pass
betwixt
the
Court
of
Rome
and
you
self
,
and
your
servant
Coleman
.
Jan.
4.
1676.
Cardinal
Howard
,
writing
to
Coleman
,
intimates
,
That
Sir
Henry
Tichburn
was
appointed
by
you
to
be
your
Minister
at
Rome
,
and
rejoyced
at
the
Prorogation
of
the
Parliament
;
and
further
said
,
That
if
the
King
would
do
well
,
then
all
would
do
well
:
Now
,
you
know
what
was
meant
by
the
King
's
doing
well
,
that
is
,
if
he
were
removed
.
In
that
Letter
,
he
saith
,
he
hoped
to
do
you
good
Service
.
It
is
plain
,
that
now
not
only
France
but
Rome
was
also
to
be
interested
in
your
Councils
,
to
destroy
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
expose
the
Councils
and
Secrets
of
the
Government
to
the
View
of
the
Court
of
Rome
.
Cardinal
Howard
in
his
Letter
to
Coleman
,
Feb.
8.
1676.
saith
,
He
doth
all
he
can
to
serve
you
:
He
hath
writ
to
Mr.
Haies
at
his
Brothers
,
moves
,
that
your
Brother's
Ministers
,
may
joyn
with
the
Pope's
Ministers
about
P.
Furstenburg
,
and
about
the
Peace
,
and
that
the
Pope
will
send
a
Minister
on
purpose
.
In
a
Letter
,
on
March
1676.
signed
Cardinal
Norfolk
,
which
was
sent
by
an
Express
that
was
to
return
with
what
his
Master
and
Mistress
had
to
communicate
.
This
was
a
Letter
of
Credence
,
and
your
Servant
Coleman
was
to
be
he
asked
,
who
this
Messenger
was
;
and
was
accordingly
asked
,
and
would
not
tell
,
but
,
Sir
,
I
will
;
and
it
was
Signior
Con
,
that
went
under
the
notion
of
an
Italian
,
but
was
an
old
Scotch
Priest
,
that
was
in
the
Conspiracy
against
Charles
the
First
,
and
discovered
by
Habernfield
to
Sir
William
Bozwell
,
the
English
Ambassador
at
Holland
,
who
discovered
the
same
to
the
Archprelate
of
Canterbury
,
who
was
in
a
most
Reverend
Manner
pleased
to
conceal
the
same
by
that
King's
Advice
and
Direction
.
This
Con
,
that
was
near
80
years
of
age
,
was
intrusted
with
some
Secrets
from
Rome
to
your self
and
Dutchess
;
and
what
you
had
to
communicate
,
you
were
to
communicate
it
to
him
:
And
what
was
that
?
The
King
your
Brother
had
promised
to
dissolve
the
Parliament
.
Coleman
,
with
your
Brother's
Approbation
and
yours
,
drew
up
the
Declaration
,
and
a
Copy
was
sent
to
Cardinal
Howard
;
and
the
Resolutions
you
had
taken
to
establish
the
Popish
Religion
,
and
what
Measures
were
taken
for
the
Destroying
the
Interest
of
the
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
the
Dutch
at
our
Court
:
and
this
Con
was
to
take
an
Account
of
the
State
and
Condition
of
our
Fleet
,
and
of
the
Exchequer
;
and
these
were
the
things
that
you
and
your
Spouse
were
to
communicate
to
the
Messenger
that
brought
the
Letter
dated
March
1676.
March
14.
1676.
The
Cardinal
,
in
his
Letter
,
saith
,
That
he
ordered
Mr.
Leybourn
,
his
Auditor
to
write
—
He
understood
that
you
had
received
his
—
That
he
used
to
direct
his
Letters
for
the
Portugal
Ambassador
.
For
Mr.
Coleman
takes
notice
that
Plunket
had
received
Letters
from
Archbishop
Talbot
,
at
Rome
,
who
offers
his
Service
to
you
and
the
Catholicks
whether
they
will
or
no
—
He
tells
Coleman
,
that
Talbot
is
enough
to
spoil
all
—
His
constant
Custom
is
forging
Letters
—
Saith
,
if
you
make
use
of
him
,
you
would
disgrace
your self
,
and
put
the
Catholicks
in
Derision
,
which
is
the
way
to
destroy
them
—
which
if
then
,
the
Cardinal
and
his
Confriars
must
shut
up
their
Shops
—
if
he
had
not
taken
care
,
the
Match
between
you
and
the
Daughter
of
Modena
had
been
broken
off
—
that
a
Friend
of
his
at
Paris
first
set
the
Match
on
foot
—
he
saith
,
he
promoted
the
Match
to
serve
you
and
the
Catholick
Religion
in
England
;
and
saith
,
that
he
and
his
are
in
great
Power
at
Rome
and
Spain
—
And
saith
,
that
it
would
prejudice
you
if
you
were
partial
—
Complains
of
want
of
Countenance
from
the
King
your
Brother
—
Proposeth
a
Barony
to
be
got
of
the
King
for
him
to
get
Money
for
—
Saith
,
that
it
would
be
no
Scandalum
Magnatum
,
tho'
,
for
a
Catholick
,
than
when
Sir
Francis
Radcliff
was
in
motion
—
Takes
notice
,
that
the
Pope
is
not
satisfied
with
the
Education
of
your
Daughters
—
Despairs
not
of
getting
a
Pension
from
Rome
for
your
Duchess's
Secretary
.
In
Cardinal
Howard
's
Letter
of
March
24.
1676.
he
takes
notice
of
the
Receipt
of
Letters
on
the
17th
and
the
20th
of
March
,
and
also
of
your
advancing
the
Catholick
Religion
,
to
the
Joy
of
the
Pope
,
by
his
of
the
27th
.
fully
compleated
their
Joy
—
Hopes
your
Duchess
would
bring
forth
a
happy
Roman-Catholick
.
Thus
,
Sir
,
you
see
what
Destruction
you
were
then
bringing
upon
the
Nation
,
by
exposing
the
King
's
Secret
Councils
and
the
State
and
Condition
of
the
Nation
,
to
the
grand
Enemy
of
the
Protestant
Religion
and
Interest
.
Now
I
have
done
with
the
Steps
you
took
for
the
Destruction
of
these
three
Nations
and
the
Protestant
Interest
in
general
,
I
come
now
to
every
particular
Countrey
and
Nation
,
in
which
you
may
behold
your
Attempts
there
in
particular
;
by
which
it
will
appear
to
what
Ruine
and
Misery
you
had
brought
the
Protestant
Interest
to
:
First
I
will
begin
with
Holland
.
I.
HOLLAND
.
YOU
may
remember
,
Sir
,
with
what
Respects
that
Protestant
State
received
and
protected
your
Brother
and
your self
as
long
as
they
durst
,
and
what
particular
Friends
your
Family
found
there
,
who
contributed
in
some
measure
to
your
Support
,
and
made
what
Friends
they
could
for
your self
and
Brothers
,
when
you
were
by
the
French
King
Banished
France
:
But
how
you
have
since
treated
the
States-General
,
by
engaging
the
King
your
Brother
,
in
two
most
unjust
Wars
,
to
their
great
Impoverishing
,
and
the
Weakning
the
Protestant
Interest
:
But
you
dealt
with
them
as
you
did
by
all
your
other
Friends
and
Allies
.
You
no
sooner
received
the
Testimony
of
their
Affections
,
but
you
forget
it
;
and
therefore
it
was
well
observed
of
Kirton
your
old
Friend
and
Fryar
,
that
the
only
way
for
a
Man
to
ruin
his
Family
,
was
to
engage
in
your
Cause
and
Quarrel
.
You
will
do
well
to
call
to
mind
the
Heats
that
you
and
your
Incendiaries
created
in
Holland
,
and
the
Animosities
you
caused
,
which
cost
the
De
Wits
their
Lives
.
Several
Letters
of
Coleman's
to
the
Jesuits
of
S.
Omers
,
do
highly
magnifie
your
prudent
Conduct
in
that
Affair
;
and
what
was
the
End
of
all
those
Heats
and
Flames
you
kindled
,
but
to
exasperate
a
considerable
Party
of
Men
against
your
Nephew
the
Prince
of
Orange
;
nay
,
your
Malice
against
that
Prince
did
not
cease
here
,
but
most
unnaturally
you
engaged
the
King
your
Brother
to
abandon
him
,
and
to
comply
with
his
and
the
mortal
Enemies
of
this
Nation
;
which
was
so
unnatural
,
that
an
Infidel
would
not
have
been
guilty
of
such
Ingratitude
as
your self
,
if
you
do
but
remember
how
the
Prince's
Father
served
yours
.
Your
Malice
yet
went
further
;
for
the
Lord
Arlington
using
some
Arguments
with
the
King
to
have
a
more
Regard
to
his
Nephew
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
the
States-General
of
the
United
Provinces
:
What
Care
on
the
contrary
did
you
use
to
prevent
any
good
Intention
of
the
said
Lord
Arlington
towards
the
said
Prince
of
Orange
;
and
in
order
to
this
,
you
dispatch'd
Letters
to
Ashby
the
Rector
of
the
English
College
of
S.
Omers
,
and
require
him
to
write
to
the
Confessor
of
the
Emperor
,
to
satisfie
him
that
the
King
your
Brother
intended
no
less
than
the
Ruin
of
the
Confederates
,
especially
of
the
Empire
,
and
of
his
Catholick
Princes
under
him
,
and
that
underhand
he
furnished
the
Hungarian
Rebels
against
his
Imperial
Majesty
,
and
found
them
Money
to
go
on
with
their
Rebellion
,
and
that
his
Design
was
,
not
to
have
any
Alliances
with
his
Imperial
Majesty
but
only
in
Shew
,
that
he
might
advance
his
Nephew
the
Prince
of
Orange
;
and
in
order
to
that
,
he
had
brought
him
over
to
the
French
Interest
,
which
Letter
,
Sir
,
I
saw
,
and
the
Instructions
were
followed
to
a
Tittle
by
the
Fathers
at
S.
Omers
.
In
those
Letters
the
States-General
were
to
be
acquainted
with
this
.
Now
,
Sir
,
it
is
well
known
,
that
the
King
your
Brother's
being
ingaged
in
the
French
Interest
,
was
no
Secret
at
the
Court
at
Vienna
,
nor
with
the
States-General
;
but
that
the
Prince
of
Orange
was
drawn
into
that
Interest
,
this
must
be
surprizing
:
Therefore
,
Sir
,
we
might
easily
see
the
secret
Hatred
you
conceived
against
the
Prince
and
his
Cause
,
and
Interest
.
You
and
your
Conspirators
could
have
been
heartily
glad
of
being
blest
with
such
an
Ally
;
but
because
he
was
true
to
his
Cause
and
Interest
,
you
by
your
lying
Jesuits
did
what
you
could
to
create
a
Jealousie
in
the
then
Confederate
Princes
,
of
the
Sincerity
of
the
Prince
,
to
the
Confederacy
,
and
to
the
Interest
of
the
United
Provinces
,
in
order
to
his
Ruin
.
These
Letters
that
were
sent
to
the
Emperor's
Confessor
,
bore
Date
,
Jan.
4.
1678.
Stilo
Novo
.
Sir
,
You
may
not
forget
the
12
Jesuits
that
Whitebread
the
Provincial
of
the
Jesuits
sent
into
Holland
to
create
a
Belief
in
the
Dutch
,
that
the
Prince
of
Orange
designed
no
less
than
the
Subversion
of
the
Government
of
the
United
Provinces
,
by
procuring
his
Party
to
receive
and
own
him
as
their
King
,
and
that
it
was
the
Design
of
the
said
Prince
to
assume
the
Title
and
Crown
of
a
King
,
and
change
their
Government
,
and
make
a
Seisure
of
their
Freedoms
.
These
Jesuits
were
sent
by
Virtue
of
Letters
sent
from
Coleman
in
your
Name
,
and
Money
was
sent
over
to
be
received
at
Dunkirk
,
the
Sum
was
4000
Crowns
,
to
bear
the
Charge
of
the
Mission
into
Holland
,
and
the
Bills
were
signed
by
one
Busby
a
Merchant
here
in
London
,
the
Money
being
paid
in
by
Sir
Allen
Apsley
;
therefore
,
Sir
,
it
may
well
be
concluded
who
was
at
the
Head
of
this
Piece
of
Villany
.
In
a
word
,
Sir
,
you
see
what
means
you
and
the
rest
of
your
Popish
Incendiaries
used
to
beget
in
the
Dutch
an
ill
Esteem
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
to
widen
the
Difference
between
the
Lovistein
Party
and
his
Friends
;
and
,
if
possible
,
to
seduce
his
Friends
,
and
destroy
his
Interest
,
and
the
Interest
of
the
Protestant
Religion
:
and
the
best
Title
the
Jesuits
of
St.
Omer's
us'd
to
give
him
,
was
Apple-tree
Will
;
at
which
you
were
pleased
;
in
the
multitude
of
your
witty
Thoughts
,
to
laugh
,
as
Coleman
us'd
to
tell
us
,
when
ever
any
Discourse
happened
concerning
the
Prince
of
Orange
.
But
,
Sir
,
you
may
say
,
That
he
was
your
Sister's
Son
,
and
that
at
that
time
you
had
married
your
Daughter
to
him
,
so
that
he
was
not
only
your
Nephew
,
but
your
Son-in-Law
,
What
then
?
How
you
and
your
Party
used
him
,
when
he
was
your
Nephew
,
the
Princes
of
Europe
saw
,
and
the
Honest
Party
of
England
resented
his
Usage
,
and
had
Thoughts
of
you
accordingly
,
yea
,
and
of
your
Brother
to
;
but
you
pretend
that
you
had
married
your
Daughter
to
him
.
No
,
Sir
,
it
was
neither
you
nor
your
Brother
married
the
Lady
Mary
to
the
Prince
of
Orange
;
it
was
something
else
,
I
had
almost
said
the
Siege
of
Charleroy
,
and
the
Advice
of
a
worthy
Minister
of
State
upon
the
same
:
But
suppose
you
had
married
your
Daughter
to
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
that
it
was
your
own
Inclination
,
to
which
I
cannot
yet
be
reconciled
in
my
thoughts
,
but
that
after
the
Marriage
you
pursued
his
Ruin
with
as
much
vigour
as
you
did
before
,
give
me
leave
to
sum
up
the
whole
in
a
few
words
:
You
and
your
Accomplices
resolved
,
That
the
Prince
of
Orange
should
not
become
Great
,
therefore
he
must
be
destroyed
;
and
in
order
to
effect
so
mighty
and
so
great
a
Work
,
all
means
are
used
to
stir
up
the
Dutch
to
mutiny
against
him
,
upon
that
Diabolical
Suggestion
of
your
Conspirators
,
That
he
had
designed
,
and
was
resolved
to
subvert
their
Government
,
and
usurp
a
Crown
and
Title
of
a
King
:
the
Emperor
is
also
instigated
to
create
a
Belief
in
the
States-General
,
That
the
Prince
designed
the
making
himself
Absolute
;
and
oh
how
did
you
and
your
Party
hug
your selves
with
the
Expectation
of
a
Breach
between
him
and
the
States-General
,
so
that
his
and
the
whole
Protestant
Interest
might
fail
in
Holland
.
In
truth
,
when
a
Man
reflects
upon
this
Affair
,
he
would
wonder
at
your
Barbarity
,
and
naturally
ask
this
Question
,
Why
should
this
Prince
aim
at
the
Destruction
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
?
Was
he
not
his
Sister's
Son
,
his
Son-in-law
?
What
profit
would
it
be
to
you
to
destroy
him
?
An
honest-thinking
Man
would
hesitate
at
these
things
;
but
when
he
considers
who
it
is
attempts
this
,
and
for
what
cause
,
then
it
naturally
follows
there
was
a
pretended
Cause
for
such
Diabolical
Suggestions
,
and
such
Barbarous
Designs
.
You
that
was
his
Uncle
was
converted
to
such
a
degree
of
Zeal
,
as
not
to
regard
any
thing
in
the
World
in
comparison
of
the
Conversion
of
Heretical
Kingdoms
,
and
so
your
Interests
we
know
were
inseparately
united
to
the
French
King
,
that
it
was
impossible
to
divide
them
:
You
know
that
you
used
all
means
to
secure
His
Most
Christian
Majesty's
Interest
in
England
,
and
that
for
many
weighty
Reasons
;
one
among
the
rest
was
,
That
his
and
yours
prevailing
,
would
give
the
greatest
Blow
to
the
Protestant
Religion
that
ever
it
receiv'd
from
its
birth
;
then
undoubtedly
the
Prince
of
Orange
(
through
God's
mercy
now
our
Gracious
King
)
at
that
time
stood
within
a
step
or
two
of
the
Throne
,
and
being
a
Protestant
,
ought
in
all
Policy
to
be
removed
,
notwithstanding
his
being
your
Nephew
,
and
Son-in-law
:
For
what
do
Men
talk
of
natural
Affection
amongst
Popish
Princes
?
Was
you
not
in
a
Conspiracy
against
Charles
the
Second
,
when
he
was
at
Bruxels
,
though
he
was
your
own
Brother
,
(
or
else
he
is
basely
bely'd
?
)
And
was
not
the
Queen
,
his
Mother
,
zealous
in
the
same
Conspiracy
,
notwithstanding
he
was
her
Son
?
Why
then
should
any
Man
talk
of
natural
Affection
?
Sir
,
you
cannot
forget
that
you
had
a
mighty
Work
upon
your
Hands
,
that
was
,
The
Conversion
of
these
Kingdoms
,
and
subduing
the
Northern
Heresie
,
and
that
your
hopes
of
it
were
very
great
,
and
that
you
were
zealous
,
to
a
miracle
,
of
being
the
Author
of
so
Glorious
a
Work
:
Your
mighty
Mind
,
and
the
Mighty
Mind
of
the
French
King
,
were
relied
upon
by
the
Conspirators
;
for
that
also
that
the
Interest
of
the
French
King
was
highly
attracted
to
that
of
yours
.
Why
then
should
any
wonder
at
your
Passing
a
Bill
of
Exclusion
upon
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
who
the
World
knew
(
notwithstanding
all
your
Hellish
Suggestions
both
to
the
Emperor
and
States-General
)
stood
ready
with
all
his
might
to
Baffle
You
,
and
the
French
King
,
and
all
your
mighty
Undertakings
.
Consider
further
,
That
the
Interest
of
the
French
King
was
highly
attracted
to
your
Interest
;
and
this
pleased
you
and
your
Party
,
and
so
you
thought
your selves
secure
:
But
here
was
your
Nephew
and
Son-in-law
;
his
Interest
was
as
highly
attracted
to
that
of
England
,
Holland
,
and
the
Reformed
Churches
of
Europe
,
to
the
Support
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
which
You
and
the
French
King
were
to
destroy
by
the
Name
and
Title
of
the
Northern
Heresie
.
I
pray
then
what
signifies
a
Nephew
and
a
Son-in-law
in
such
a
Case
as
this
?
Can
any
Man
that
ever
knew
you
,
believe
that
natural
Affection
should
interpose
and
prevent
your
destroying
him
,
since
your
natural
Affection
and
Bigotry
were
,
and
are
still
no
Strangers
in
England
or
Holland
.
Consider
once
more
,
and
then
I
have
done
with
this
Point
:
You
may
remember
,
that
the
French
King
did
most
generously
offer
you
the
use
of
his
Purse
,
to
assist
against
the
Designs
of
those
that
were
Enemies
to
you
,
and
that
Monarch
:
Nay
,
you
know
he
protested
,
That
those
that
opposed
you
he
should
look
on
them
his
Enemies
;
and
you
did
as
well
protest
,
That
those
who
opposed
him
you
would
look
upon
them
as
your
Enemies
;
and
it
was
the
Opinion
of
the
French
King
,
that
the
Parliament
of
England
was
neither
in
his
Interest
nor
yours
,
and
you
entirely
agreed
with
him
in
that
Thought
of
his
;
so
that
it
was
your
Opinion
,
that
it
was
necessary
for
you
both
to
make
use
of
your
joint
and
utmost
Credits
,
to
prevent
the
Success
of
the
Parliaments
Evil
Designs
against
you
both
.
What
,
Designs
against
you
and
the
French
King
?
Yes
,
Designs
against
you
,
and
the
French
King
;
nay
,
that
which
is
more
,
a
dangerous
Plot.
Who
are
the
Plotters
?
And
what
was
the
Plot
?
my
Lord
Arlington
was
at
work
,
without
ceasing
,
to
advance
the
Interest
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
the
Hollanders
,
and
to
lessen
that
of
the
French
King
:
And
that
he
and
several
others
were
endeavouring
to
break
the
good
Intelligence
between
Charles
the
Second
,
the
French
King
,
and
your self
,
wherefore
you
earnestly
solicited
the
French
King
to
assist
with
the
Help
of
his
Purse
,
to
prevent
such
Rogueries
.
Thus
,
Sir
,
you
make
a
Tripple
League
,
and
set
it
up
in
Opposition
to
another
:
In
the
one
,
King
Charles
,
the
French
King
,
and
your
sweet
Self
are
engaged
;
in
the
other
,
the
Parliament
of
England
,
the
States
of
Holland
,
and
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
are
engaged
:
The
French
is
to
furnish
you
with
Money
,
which
is
the
Sinews
of
War
,
the
Parliament
are
declared
Enemies
,
King
Charles
stands
as
a
Cypher
only
;
and
therefore
the
French
King
,
and
your self
,
put
your selves
under
the
solemn
Engagements
to
perform
what
was
stipulated
,
and
strenuously
to
assist
each
other
against
the
Designs
of
your
and
the
French
King's
Enemies
;
for
that
there
was
a
dangerous
and
desperate
Design
on
foot
,
to
advance
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
to
lessen
the
French
King
:
And
therefore
,
can
any
think
that
it
was
unreasonable
in
you
,
to
endeavour
to
destroy
him
,
since
his
Advancement
was
of
such
a
desperate
and
dangerous
Consequence
to
the
French
King
,
your Self
,
and
Romish
Religion
?
These
things
duly
considered
,
no
Man
that
hath
his
Thoughts
and
Judgment
keeping
pace
with
each
other
,
but
must
from
the
Premisses
rationally
conclude
,
That
you
and
your
Incendiaries
must
have
a
design
of
destroying
the
Prince
and
his
Party
,
and
Protestant
Interest
in
Holland
,
notwithstanding
any
Excuses
you
may
make
to
the
contrary
,
or
your
Party
for
you
.
II.
IRELAND
.
Since
,
Sir
,
you
have
not
left
so
good
a
Name
in
Holland
,
as
you
might
have
pretended
to
,
it
is
much
to
be
feared
that
,
upon
enquiry
,
your
Name
and
Memory
will
not
be
very
precious
here
in
Ireland
.
If
you
please
to
give
me
your
Company
thither
,
I
'll
assure
you
,
if
you
deserve
it
,
you
shall
have
my
good
Word
from
thence
,
for
all
the
old
Favours
I
receiv'd
from
you
in
the
Day
of
your
Power
here
amongst
us
;
but
I
suppose
I
shall
find
sad
havock
there
made
by
you
,
and
your
Plotters
,
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
of
the
Civil
Rights
,
Liberties
,
and
Customs
of
the
English
and
Protestant
Interest
.
Sir
,
it
pleased
King
Charles
the
Second
to
send
the
Lord
Roberts
as
his
Vicegerent
into
Ireland
,
who
was
a
warm
Man
,
and
not
at
all
Popishly
affected
,
and
therefore
not
for
your
Turn
,
or
one
that
would
gratifie
the
Conspirators
in
any
one
Point
of
countenancing
Popery
,
and
therefore
you
procured
him
to
be
removed
;
so
that
Ireland
was
put
into
such
Hands
as
your
Heart
and
Soul
could
wish
for
:
For
whoever
was
Deputy
,
or
Lieutenant
,
your
Conspirator
,
Boyle
,
an
Archbishop
,
was
the
Governor
;
a
Fellow
,
'
tho'
of
the
Communion
of
the
Church
of
England
,
yet
was
a
well-wisher
to
the
Romish
Mathematicks
.
So
Ireland
was
in
a
fair
way
to
be
Over-run
and
Ruined
to
all
Intents
and
Purposes
by
yours
;
and
the
Procurement
of
the
Jesuites
.
Upon
the
Removal
of
the
Lord
Robarts
,
afterwards
Earl
of
Radnor
,
you
remember
who
succeeded
him
,
and
what
Promises
was
made
by
this
Successor
,
and
what
Terms
you
required
from
him
,
and
how
he
complied
,
and
who
it
was
that
recommended
this
new
Lieutenant
as
a
Person
fit
,
to
all
Intents
and
Purposes
,
to
execute
your
Designs
:
These
things
are
worthy
of
consideration
I
assure
you
,
for
we
have
considered
them
;
and
what
could
be
done
in
so
little
time
as
our
King
hath
had
,
many
of
those
Abuses
have
been
corrected
and
amended
.
This
Tool
brought
the
Kingdom
of
Ireland
into
a
sad
condition
,
by
encouraging
the
Popish
Recusants
,
who
are
the
profess'd
Enemies
to
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
English
Interest
;
by
his
,
or
rather
your
Encouragement
,
they
grew
more
Insolent
and
Presumptuous
than
before
that
Tool
of
a
Lieutenant
came
there
,
which
was
of
a
dangerous
Consequence
to
that
Kingdom
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
English
Interest
:
And
it
was
like
to
have
proved
Fatal
to
that
Kingdom
,
had
it
not
been
in
some
measure
prevented
,
by
the
sending
in
his
room
that
Great
and
never-to-be-forgotten
Earl
of
Essex
,
whom
you
and
your
Party
procured
to
be
Murthered
in
the
Tower
,
to
make
the
Murther
of
the
Good
Lord
Russel
less
difficult
.
1.
For
in
the
First
Place
,
in
the
Month
of
January
1672/3.
you
procured
a
Commission
of
Enquiry
into
Irish
Affairs
,
containing
many
Powers
that
were
new
and
extraordinary
,
not
only
Prejudicial
to
the
English
,
whose
Estates
and
Titles
were
liable
to
be
questioned
,
but
in
a
manner
to
Overthrow
the
King's
Acts
of
Settlement
,
which
Commission
you
caused
to
be
pursued
,
to
the
great
Charge
and
Attendance
of
many
of
the
Protestants
there
:
And
by
this
means
you
shook
the
Peace
and
Security
of
the
whole
Kingdom
of
Ireland
.
It
is
well
known
,
Sir
,
that
you
gave
the
Jesuites
great
Hopes
of
making
a
fair
Step
to
establish
the
Romish
Religion
;
and
old
Gray
,
the
Jesuite
,
in
a
Letter
of
February
,
1672.
exhorts
the
Fathers
at
St.
Omers
to
be
very
thankful
to
God
that
he
had
put
it
into
the
Hearts
of
the
King
and
Duke
,
to
remember
the
sad
Estate
of
the
Catholick
Religion
in
Ireland
;
and
that
now
there
was
some
Hopes
of
Establishing
it
there
,
since
the
Lord-Lieutenant
was
so
well
disposed
towards
it
,
by
the
especial
Care
of
His
Royal
Highness
.
II.
You
were
pleased
to
cause
the
Popish
Party
to
be
armed
in
that
Kingdom
,
and
some
of
them
were
Commanders
to
others
;
Instructions
were
given
from
Richard
Talbot
,
then
your
Agent
there
,
by
your
Order
,
for
those
of
the
Roman
Catholick
Party
to
furnish
themselves
with
quantities
of
Arms
;
and
this
,
your
Conspirators
said
,
were
to
keep
the
English
in
order
.
This
,
Sir
,
can
be
proved
whenever
there
is
occasion
.
No
Man
can
think
,
that
Sir
Ellis
Leyton
,
a
Papist
,
that
was
Secretary
to
the
Government
,
by
your
especial
Grace
and
Favour
,
should
not
pursue
the
same
Instructions
that
your
Agent
Talbot
had
received
:
Nay
,
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
That
your
dear
Brother
was
highly
engaged
to
reduce
that
Kingdom
to
a
Popish
Establishment
,
according
to
the
Agreement
he
had
made
with
Madam
,
your
Sister
,
to
whom
he
had
promised
to
begin
the
Establishing
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
in
Ireland
;
and
that
High-Mass
should
,
in
a
short
time
,
be
sung
at
St.
Patrick's
,
in
the
City
of
Dublin
,
the
Metropolis
of
that
Kingdom
.
It
is
true
,
Sir
Ellis
Layton
was
a
lewd
Fellow
;
but
there
was
none
that
did
your
Business
,
in
jest
,
so
well
as
he
did
,
for
the
time
of
his
residence
in
Ireland
:
For
under
the
Notion
of
Ridiculing
the
Irish
,
he
promoted
every
Man
that
was
a
Papist
,
if
he
had
but
common
Sense
,
and
a
Place
open
.
And
it
is
well
remembred
what
vast
Quantities
of
Arms
and
Ammunition
were
daily
sent
from
England
to
that
Place
,
and
considerable
Quantities
both
from
France
and
Spain
,
which
your
Party
used
to
say
,
would
do
more
good
towards
the
Establishing
the
Catholick
Religion
than
so
many
Bibles
:
And
great
care
,
Sir
,
was
taken
by
you
,
to
secure
the
poor
Irish
Catholicks
in
the
North
,
that
the
Planters
of
Ulster
,
and
the
Scotch
,
should
give
them
no
disturbance
;
that
is
,
in
plain
English
,
they
should
themselves
stand
still
,
and
be
peaceably
murthered
by
your
Irish
Cut-throats
.
3.
How
many
Popish
Judges
,
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
Sheriffs
,
Coroners
,
Mayors
,
Sovereigns
,
and
Portriffs
,
were
made
,
by
your
Princely
Care
,
in
that
Kingdom
!
And
was
this
for
the
Preservation
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
English
Interest
there
?
No
certainly
;
it
is
well
known
,
by
several
Letters
of
yours
to
Richard
Talbot
,
and
Sir
Ellis
Layton
,
that
the
Reason
why
you
gave
such
Instructions
,
was
to
crush
and
ruine
the
Protestant
Religion
and
the
English
Interest
in
that
Kingdom
;
for
you
having
Popish
Judges
,
and
Popish
Sheriffs
▪
you
would
quickly
find
Popish
Juries
,
and
Irish
Witnesses
to
swear
any
thing
against
the
Protestant
Nobility
and
Gentry
that
stood
in
opposition
to
your
Proceedings
in
that
Kingdom
:
Then
,
Sir
,
what
Security
had
a
Gentleman
of
his
Estate
,
when
Judges
,
Sheriffs
,
and
Witnesses
were
against
him
?
The
many
Instances
of
the
Wrongs
and
Oppressions
done
to
the
Protestant
English
Gentlemen
,
the
Records
of
your
Villainous
Court
of
Claims
can
tell
how
they
were
sworn
out
of
their
Estates
and
Fortunes
by
your
Rogues
and
Banditti
.
I
am
certain
that
this
Point
being
gained
by
You
,
and
your
Conspirators
,
it
proved
very
Fatal
to
Ireland
.
4.
You
took
great
care
of
the
Church
too
;
not
of
the
Protestant
Church
,
but
of
your
Popish
Titular
Archbishops
,
Bishops
,
Vicar-Generals
,
Abbots
,
and
others
,
that
had
Power
from
Rome
to
exercise
Ecclesiastical
Jurisdiction
,
that
they
should
be
established
in
particular
.
Sir
,
your
old
Friend
Peter
Talbot
,
the
pretended
Archbishop
of
Dublin
,
and
your
old
Friend
James
Lynce
,
Archbishop
of
Tuam
,
both
of
them
had
been
notoriously
disloyal
to
the
King
your
Brother
,
in
that
they
had
long
lived
in
Disobedience
to
him
,
and
in
Contempt
of
his
Laws
:
But
,
to
cure
that
,
you
procured
a
Pardon
for
them
both
,
which
Boyle
the
Chancellor
passed
under
the
Great
Seal
,
by
your
special
Command
and
Direction
;
nay
,
you
hectored
your
Brother
when
he
was
unwilling
to
pass
Talbot's
Pardon
,
and
challenged
his
Promise
and
Agreement
made
at
Dover
,
at
the
Interview
,
with
Madam
his
Sister
and
yours
:
And
,
Sir
,
that
all
things
might
appear
with
some
Face
of
Grandeur
,
a
Meeting
of
all
the
Popish
Archbishops
,
Bishops
,
Vicar-Generals
,
Abbots
,
Priors
,
and
Priests
,
for
the
settling
and
establishing
their
Clergy
,
both
secular
and
regular
,
which
was
connived
at
by
your
Tool
of
a
Lieutenant
;
upon
which
the
Popish
Party
grew
so
insolent
,
that
a
Protestant
went
in
danger
of
his
Life
amongst
them
:
nay
,
to
preserve
their
Stock
,
in
many
Places
they
were
forced
to
pay
Tythes
to
the
Popish
Priest
,
as
well
as
to
the
Protestant
Minister
.
But
when
the
Earl
of
Essex
was
sent
over
,
with
much
difficulty
some
small
Check
was
put
to
these
insolent
Carriages
of
the
Irish
Papists
;
Tuam
fled
,
and
Talbot
withdrew
for
a
while
,
or
rather
absconded
themselves
,
and
the
Publick
Popish
Schools
were
put
down
,
and
many
secular
and
regular
Priests
did
depart
the
Land
:
For
which
,
Sir
,
you
hated
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
and
Plunket
you
also
despised
,
because
he
said
,
It
was
not
Prudence
for
Catholicks
to
live
in
Contempt
of
Law
;
and
therefore
you
may
remember
how
and
by
whom
his
end
was
promoted
,
and
with
what
zeal
you
and
your
Party
sent
him
out
of
the
World
;
he
was
of
the
same
Opinion
with
Cardinal
Howard
,
that
in
whatsoever
Business
Talbot
was
engaged
,
he
ever
spoiled
it
,
and
he
was
impudent
and
false
to
his
Party
,
for
which
the
Jesuites
turned
him
out
of
the
Society
;
but
that
he
might
not
in
discontent
leave
the
Church
of
Rome
,
the
General
of
the
Jesuites
procured
of
the
Pope
that
he
might
be
made
a
Bishop
.
But
this
,
Sir
,
I
will
assure
you
,
That
if
Talbot
when
he
was
taken
in
Ireland
,
had
been
taken
in
England
,
he
would
have
done
You
and
your
Party
a
signal
Piece
of
Service
;
for
Coleman
had
certainly
given
Evidence
with
him
against
you
:
So
that
your
traiterous
Correspondency
with
France
,
and
Intentions
to
destroy
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
within
these
Realms
,
and
all
over
Europe
,
would
have
been
so
fully
detected
,
that
it
had
been
almost
impossible
for
you
to
have
escaped
the
hand
of
Justice
.
Of
this
,
Sir
,
I
can
give
a
particular
Account
,
if
ever
there
should
be
occasion
:
And
Plunket
himself
gave
you
such
an
Item
of
Talbot's
Intentions
in
that
Point
,
that
Coleman's
Death
was
hastened
,
and
Talbot
dy'd
strangely
in
Prison
,
and
so
you
escaped
to
do
more
Mischief
:
And
how
well
you
rewarded
Plunket
for
his
Good
will
towards
you
,
is
well
known
;
and
all
to
oblige
your
Cut-throat
Jesuits
,
to
whom
they
were
mortal
Enemies
.
5.
On
the
26th
.
of
Febr.
1671.
It
is
remembred
,
that
for
the
better
Encouragement
of
the
Irish
Papists
,
and
that
they
might
many
of
them
live
in
greater
Bodies
together
,
you
procured
Letters
from
King
Charles
,
your
Brother
,
and
a
Proclamation
,
to
give
Liberty
in
General
to
all
Irish
Papists
to
live
in
Corporations
,
against
the
Act
of
Settlement
;
and
to
be
excused
from
all
those
Oaths
that
were
required
from
those
who
were
duly
licensed
according
to
the
true
intent
and
meaning
of
that
Act
:
And
your
Agents
,
Si●
Ellys
Leyton
,
and
Richard
Talbot
,
were
very
vigorous
to
see
those
Letters
and
Proclamations
put
in
Execution
:
Then
the
Irish
flocked
into
Towns
Corporate
,
and
other
Market
Port
Towns
of
that
Kingdom
,
to
the
great
Terrour
of
the
English
Protestants
,
and
the
Disturbance
of
their
Trade
.
To
redress
which
,
how
many
Petitions
were
presented
,
setting
forth
the
Calamity
the
Protestant
Interest
was
exposed
to
,
and
what
Danger
they
were
in
of
losing
their
Trade
both
at
home
and
abroad
;
and
how
they
returned
without
any
manner
of
Redress
,
but
were
ridiculed
by
Leyton
,
and
abused
by
your
Tool
the
Lord
Lieutenant
.
It
is
well
known
that
the
Irish
Papists
(
some
few
only
excepted
)
did
not
understand
Trade
,
and
therefore
the
End
for
which
they
were
let
in
to
live
in
Towns
Corporate
,
and
into
other
Market-Towns
within
that
Kingdom
was
,
that
they
might
over-power
the
Protestant
Party
and
seize
their
Effects
as
they
did
in
the
Rebellion
:
They
began
in
the
Year
1641
,
and
that
they
might
get
into
Offices
in
those
Towns
Corporate
,
to
keep
the
Protestants
so
much
under
as
would
incapacitate
them
to
stand
upon
their
defence
,
the
Irish
being
well
armed
,
and
the
English
being
disarmed
by
a
private
Order
from
your self
to
the
then
Lord
Lieutenant
,
which
was
discovered
in
the
Papers
found
at
Jolliff's
house
in
Weldstreet
,
in
Feb.
or
Jan.
1678/9
,
amongst
Papers
belonging
to
Sir
Ellys
Leyton
.
And
for
two
or
three
Years
together
,
great
Inquiry
was
made
by
some
of
your
Conspirators
,
for
News
out
of
Ireland
;
so
big
they
were
with
the
Expectation
of
a
Rebellion
there
;
which
certainly
had
been
if
it
had
not
been
for
fear
of
the
Scotch
,
who
were
well
planted
in
the
North
of
Ireland
,
who
with
all
the
Bravery
and
Resolution
that
became
honest
Men
and
good
Protestants
to
stand
by
the
English
,
in
opposition
to
the
Irish
;
for
which
Cause
you
did
use
your
utmost
Efforts
to
have
those
Scotch
that
were
so
planted
in
the
North
of
Ireland
to
be
disarmed
;
but
whether
at
that
time
your
Design
took
effect
I
cannot
well
remember
.
6.
Furthermore
,
you
to
carry
on
your
wicked
designs
and
purposes
in
that
Kingdom
for
the
better
establishing
of
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Power
,
and
discouraging
of
the
Protestant
Religion
and
English
Interest
.
You
procured
Letters
of
the
King
your
Brother
,
bearing
date
,
Septemb.
28th
.
1672.
and
upon
that
Letter
so
procured
,
there
was
an
Order
of
Council
of
that
Kingdom
,
in
which
Letter
,
and
by
which
Order
,
the
English
Protestants
were
strictly
charged
and
commanded
,
upon
pain
of
his
high
Displeasure
,
not
to
prosecute
the
Irish
Papists
,
in
any
Actions
whatsoever
,
for
any
Wrongs
or
Injuries
committed
by
them
,
during
the
late
Rebellion
.
Nay
,
Sir
,
you
would
not
have
it
called
a
Rebellion
,
but
you
desired
it
might
be
called
rather
the
late
Troubles
,
which
you
could
not
obtain
;
and
rather
than
your
Teagues
should
lose
the
Benefit
of
the
said
Letter
,
you
were
content
to
have
it
called
a
Rebellion
;
and
the
Reason
was
,
you
and
your
Brother
too
were
well
satisfied
who
had
a
hand
in
it
,
and
first
stirred
it
up
;
witness
,
the
Parchments
that
were
found
in
the
Red
Trunk
in
Jolliff's
House
in
Weld-street
,
and
the
Letter
written
in
the
behalf
of
the
Marquis
of
Antrim
,
to
your
Devilish
Court
of
Claims
,
in
which
the
principal
Author
of
that
Rebellion
was
made
manifest
,
but
that
by
the
Way
only
.
In
that
Rebellion
,
what
Murders
,
Rapines
,
Thefts
,
and
barbarous
Outrages
were
for
some
time
daily
committed
by
the
Irish
Papists
,
upon
the
poor
Protestants
,
some
yet
alive
in
both
Kingdoms
to
testifie
:
And
yet
,
of
your
tender
Care
of
those
Barbarous
Cut-throats
,
you
would
not
have
them
answer
at
Law
,
for
any
of
the
aforesaid
Villanies
,
and
why
?
Because
what
they
did
,
was
in
Zeal
for
the
Catholick
Cause
,
to
which
,
you
by
a
Miracle
was
converted
,
insomuch
,
that
for
the
promoting
of
it
,
you
had
regard
neither
to
Law
,
or
Justice
,
Sence
,
or
Reason
:
Nay
,
some
that
did
sue
those
Murderers
before
that
damnable
Court
was
set
up
,
were
much
discountenanced
by
your
Party
there
,
and
by
your self
here
in
England
,
if
they
had
occasion
to
make
any
Application
to
your self
for
any
Favour
or
Kindness
.
7.
You
constituted
Richard
Talbot
Agent
from
your self
to
the
Roman-Catholicks
,
and
they
constituted
him
their
Agent
to
you
from
them
,
for
which
Talbot
had
a
sufficient
Pension
to
whore
and
game
withal
;
and
,
give
the
Devil
his
due
,
he
answered
his
Trust
with
all
the
Care
,
Fidelity
,
and
Diligence
both
to
you
and
the
Popish
Party
.
Not
only
so
,
but
you
procured
for
him
the
said
Talbot
,
a
Command
in
Ireland
,
as
a
Reward
for
his
great
Services
done
.
Of
this
Agency
of
the
said
Talbot
,
Dr.
Tongue
,
and
Mr.
Thomas
Jones
,
your
quondam
Chaplain
,
having
some
clear
Proof
,
they
made
Application
to
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
he
ridiculed
the
Business
,
and
said
,
That
Talbot
was
not
only
a
Blockhead
,
but
was
in
no
manner
fit
for
an
Agent
for
any
party
,
he
being
also
a
Man
too
much
addicted
to
his
pleasures
;
and
you
met
with
Jones
,
and
asked
him
whether
he
was
turned
from
a
Preacher
to
an
Informer
,
and
told
him
he
had
pitched
upon
a
very
unlikely
man
for
an
Agent
.
Thus
was
any
Truth
,
that
was
against
Poperty
or
Papists
,
brought
by
any
honest
Man
,
hissed
of
the
Stage
by
your
Brother
and
your self
.
Sir
,
I
confess
you
would
have
used
me
so
when
I
charged
him
with
a
Commission
from
some
body
,
to
be
General
Governour
,
and
Lord
Lieutenant
of
Ireland
;
and
the
King
then
told
me
how
Tongue
and
Jones
had
been
to
inform
him
that
Talbot
was
an
Agent
from
the
Popish
Party
in
Ireland
to
the
Duke
,
and
an
Agent
from
the
Duke
to
the
Popish
Party
,
which
he
rejected
as
an
improbable
thing
;
but
the
Story
I
told
him
was
more
improbable
:
I
discovered
his
Agency
,
and
made
out
that
by
Letters
under
the
hand
of
the
said
Talbot
;
so
that
Tongue
and
Jones
were
justified
,
and
you
did
,
in
a
few
Years
,
so
justifie
that
part
and
so
many
particulars
of
my
Testimony
in
that
Affair
,
that
your
very
Passive
Obedience
Rogues
began
,
when
it
was
almost
too
late
,
to
look
about
them
:
For
in
time
he
was
General
of
the
Army
in
Ireland
,
in
the
time
of
the
Earl
of
Clarendon's
Regency
,
and
after
him
,
to
the
sorrow
of
many
Unbelievers
,
he
was
by
you
made
Lord
Lieutenant
.
8.
Your
Conspirators
received
a
Letter
from
Talbot
,
the
pretended-Archbishop
of
Dublin
,
wherein
it
was
expressly
said
,
That
your
Jesuits
in
Ireland
,
and
others
were
preparing
the
Irish
Papists
to
Rise
in
defence
of
their
Liberties
and
Religion
,
and
to
recover
their
Estates
,
and
that
if
the
Parliament
that
was
to
sit
in
England
,
did
engage
heartily
with
the
King
,
and
the
King
with
them
in
a
War
against
the
French
King
,
that
a
place
or
places
should
be
opened
to
receive
the
French
King's
Army
in
Ireland
,
whenever
his
most
Christian
Majesty
should
think
fit
to
send
one
.
And
by
Order
from
Coleman
and
the
Jesuits
in
London
,
the
Fathers
at
the
English
College
at
S.
Omers
,
were
to
advertise
the
Father
Confessor
to
the
French
King
of
the
same
;
and
other
Jesuits
that
had
an
Interest
in
the
French
King
,
and
the
Fathers
of
S.
Omers
were
assured
that
the
King
your
Brother
was
brought
to
that
state
of
Security
,
that
if
any
Male-content
among
them
should
not
prove
true
to
them
and
their
Design
,
his
Majesty
would
not
give
ear
to
their
Information
,
and
therefore
prayed
them
to
be
diligent
,
for
now
was
the
time
or
never
;
and
accordingly
Messengers
were
sent
to
Father
La
Chaise
,
viz.
Edward
Nevil
your
Confessor
,
and
William
Busby
,
to
carry
the
aforesaid
Letters
to
La
Chaise
,
and
these
did
bring
home
La
Chaise's
Answer
,
and
withal
several
Letters
that
Coleman
had
written
to
him
upon
that
Affair
in
your
Name
,
and
by
your
Command
,
that
bore
date
in
the
month
of
January
,
as
these
also
did
in
the
month
of
January
1677/8.
some
little
time
before
the
Parliament
sat
down
:
And
then
,
Sir
,
there
was
a
Pension
obtained
for
Coleman
,
your
diligent
Secretary
,
of
2000
Crowns
a
Year
,
and
another
from
Rome
,
but
what
that
was
I
do
not
so
well
remember
:
But
this
is
not
to
be
forgotten
,
that
the
Fathers
of
S.
Omers
had
great
Assurance
of
considerable
Sums
from
the
Pope
,
and
from
the
General
of
the
Jesuits
,
if
any
Progress
were
made
in
that
Glorious
Attempt
.
Here
,
Sir
,
you
and
your
Party
signalize
your selves
in
several
particulars
worthy
of
your
being
put
in
mind
of
,
1.
The
great
Preparations
that
were
made
for
the
Rising
of
the
Irish
Papists
.
2.
That
the
great
Design
of
Rising
,
was
for
the
Defence
of
their
Liberties
and
Religion
.
3.
You
were
not
certain
but
that
your
Brother
might
engage
in
earnest
with
the
Parliament
for
entring
into
an
actual
War
with
France
.
4.
That
in
case
he
should
,
your
Conspirators
would
let
in
French
Forces
into
Ireland
.
5.
That
your
Brother
was
brought
to
such
a
state
of
Security
,
that
if
any
Malecontent
amongst
you
should
not
prove
true
to
you
or
your
Design
,
he
would
not
give
ear
to
their
Information
.
1.
The
great
Preparations
that
were
made
for
the
Rising
of
the
Irish
Papists
,
and
this
your
Agent
Talbot
was
engaged
in
,
and
your
Secretary
Coleman
was
privy
to
it
,
and
you
too
,
by
the
Letters
that
Coleman
wrote
by
your
Order
to
the
said
La
Chaise
,
with
whom
you
your self
left
this
Jesuit
to
correspond
,
Coleman
being
a
Servant
to
you
,
and
a
trusty
one
too
.
But
there
were
many
Protestants
that
had
their
Eyes
opened
,
and
made
their
Observations
of
the
Carriage
of
your
Teagues
,
how
imprudently
insolent
they
had
been
,
and
how
they
were
Armed
and
Countenanced
by
some
in
the
Government
,
and
therefore
they
can
attest
the
Truth
of
this
Proposition
of
mine
,
and
they
are
Men
of
unexceptionable
Credit
.
So
that
if
you
will
try
the
Merits
of
the
Cause
,
you
may
come
forth
and
be
heard
.
2.
That
the
great
Design
of
Rising
was
for
the
Defence
of
their
Liberties
and
Religion
,
and
the
Recovery
of
their
Estates
.
You
know
,
Sir
,
that
you
were
converted
to
the
Religion
of
the
Church
of
Rome
;
and
you
were
so
zealous
for
it
,
even
to
a
Miracle
,
that
you
regarded
nothing
in
the
World
in
Comparison
of
your
Religion
:
And
so
it
was
with
your
Friends
here
in
Ireland
;
and
whilst
the
English
Protestants
were
uppermost
,
you
had
instilled
this
Principle
in
them
,
by
your
Jesuites
,
and
other
Conspirators
,
that
they
were
but
Slaves
:
And
as
for
those
that
could
not
recover
their
Estates
,
forfeited
by
Rebellion
,
by
the
dint
of
Perjury
,
they
must
try
by
the
dint
of
the
Sword
to
destroy
the
English
Protestant
Interest
;
or
else
they
were
not
only
Slaves
,
but
Beggars
too
into
the
bargain
.
3.
They
were
not
certain
but
that
the
King
your
Brother
might
engage
in
earnest
with
the
Parliament
,
in
an
actual
War
against
France
;
you
know
,
Sir
,
he
had
been
but
uncertain
in
his
Proceedings
with
you
in
this
damnable
Conspiracy
,
for
he
had
broke
the
Engagements
that
he
had
made
with
Madam
your
Sister
,
in
the
Establishing
the
Popish
Religion
in
Ireland
,
and
that
he
had
passed
the
Test
Bill
in
England
;
and
that
he
refused
to
sign
Coleman's
Declaration
,
for
the
dissolving
the
Parliament
,
notwithstanding
his
solemn
Engagements
to
you
and
your
Party
to
do
it
;
and
that
he
received
the
Sacrament
in
his
Chappel
according
to
the
Usage
of
the
Church
of
England
,
though
he
had
received
the
same
but
that
morning
,
from
Ireland
the
Jesuit
,
according
to
the
Rites
of
the
Church
of
Rome
;
and
therefore
neither
Teague
nor
your self
were
sure
of
him
.
4.
In
Case
he
should
heartily
engage
with
the
Parliament
,
in
an
actual
War
against
France
,
your
Conspirators
would
let
in
French
Forces
into
Ireland
,
and
so
they
did
when
you
Trayterously
Invaded
that
Kingdom
,
and
what
they
did
for
you
then
,
they
would
have
done
as
much
for
you
eight
or
ten
Years
before
.
They
were
zealous
for
the
Popish
Religion
,
and
so
were
you
,
and
your
Interests
were
both
one
,
and
they
are
to
this
day
;
I
think
I
need
not
go
further
to
prove
that
Point
.
5.
The
King
your
Brother
was
brought
to
such
a
state
of
Security
,
that
if
any
Malecontent
amongst
you
should
not
be
true
to
you
or
your
Design
,
he
would
not
give
ear
to
their
Information
:
you
know
who
it
was
that
so
governed
the
King
,
and
led
him
by
the
Nose
,
but
you
supposed
your selves
safe
:
But
this
remember
,
that
when
Information
was
made
of
this
Hellish
Conspiracy
,
the
King
your
Brother
heard
it
,
and
the
Evidence
was
so
strong
,
and
the
Plot
made
so
plain
,
that
he
could
not
gainsay
it
,
he
being
in
every
part
of
it
himself
,
excepting
that
of
his
own
Life
;
and
was
convinced
that
the
Parliament
ought
to
have
the
Examination
of
the
same
put
into
their
hands
,
which
was
accordingly
done
.
And
what
the
Parliament
,
that
was
within
some
few
days
after
the
Discovery
thereof
to
sit
,
did
do
,
and
what
Credit
they
gave
to
it
,
and
three
other
Parliaments
,
you
and
your
Followers
cannot
forget
.
9.
Your
Conspirators
,
the
Jesuites
from
St.
Omer's
,
were
made
acquainted
,
by
Letters
,
from
those
of
London
,
in
conjunction
with
your
Servant
Coleman
,
That
William
Morgan
,
and
one
Lovel
,
Jesuites
,
were
dispatched
as
Messengers
into
Ireland
,
to
see
how
Affairs
stood
there
;
and
this
Morgan's
,
and
his
Companion
's
Charges
were
paid
by
the
said
Coleman
,
who
gave
them
Instructions
,
in
your
Name
,
to
encourage
the
Irish
Papists
,
to
defend
their
Religion
and
Liberties
:
And
Coleman
,
and
the
Jesuites
transmitted
2000
Pound
for
the
Supply
of
their
present
Wants
;
and
a
Promise
of
4000
Pound
was
,
in
your
Name
,
made
by
Coleman
,
and
the
Jesuites
,
in
case
there
should
be
any
Action
.
But
,
Sir
,
these
Messengers
,
Morgan
and
Lovel
,
they
went
away
on
the
last
of
January
,
1677/8.
and
returned
the
latter
part
of
March
following
,
and
gave
such
a
melancholy
Account
of
Peter
Talbot's
lavishing
the
Money
that
you
had
in
a
special
manner
entrusted
him
withal
,
and
not
applying
the
same
for
the
use
of
the
Irish
,
as
you
had
directed
,
that
it
strook
a
great
Damp
upon
the
Minds
of
your
Conspirators
here
in
London
:
and
,
That
the
said
Talbot
had
forged
Receipts
of
several
Summs
of
Money
by
him
pay'd
to
several
of
their
Officers
,
though
the
same
were
neither
pay'd
by
him
,
nor
yet
receiv'd
by
them
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
that
the
Protestants
in
the
North
of
Ireland
were
much
alarm'd
at
those
Quantities
of
Arms
and
Ammunition
that
were
put
into
the
Hands
of
the
Irish
Catholicks
.
10.
Your
Conspirators
,
Coleman
,
and
the
Jesuites
in
London
,
receiv'd
Letters
from
St.
Omers
,
written
from
Father
Ireland
,
(
not
he
that
was
hanged
,
for
his
own
Name
was
Ironmonger
;
but
this
Man
's
own
Name
was
Saltmarsh
)
That
Care
was
taken
for
the
Destruction
of
the
Duke
of
Ormond
in
Ireland
,
he
being
then
Lord-Lieutenant
there
:
And
for
what
Reason
?
Because
he
had
refused
,
Sir
,
to
join
with
you
in
Breaking
the
English
Interest
in
that
Kingdom
;
though
,
Sir
,
you
may
remember
,
that
the
said
Duke
was
a
Person
very
Obsequious
to
your
Brother
,
and
your Self
;
and
the
Reason
why
you
could
not
get
him
to
engage
with
you
in
Omnibus
,
was
his
own
Safety
and
Ease
.
Yet
when
you
acted
,
by
the
King's
Command
,
the
said
Duke
never
failed
you
;
nor
did
his
Son
,
the
Earl
of
Ossory
,
which
cost
that
good
Gentleman
many
a
Sigh
when
he
came
to
dye
;
for
the
Business
of
the
Smyrna
Fleet
,
and
the
Wicked
War
against
the
Dutch
,
stuck
upon
his
Soul
to
the
last
Minute
of
his
Life
.
But
I
say
,
Because
the
Duke
of
Ormond
would
not
push
on
every
thing
you
put
upon
him
,
he
was
not
for
your
turn
;
though
,
give
him
his
due
,
he
had
gone
farther
than
his
Inclinations
lead
him
,
to
please
your
Mind
.
11.
In
the
last
place
,
when
you
took
the
Crown
,
you
in
a
short
time
put
the
whole
Government
into
the
Hands
of
the
Irish
Papists
,
by
which
means
the
English
Protestant
Interest
was
in
great
danger
to
be
lost
;
and
the
Protestant
Inhabitants
were
under
the
daily
Fears
,
through
your
Grace
and
Favour
,
of
having
their
Throats
cut
;
nay
many
,
daily
,
by
your
Cut-Throat
Teagues
,
were
,
by
your
especial
Direction
,
basely
,
inhumanely
,
and
barbarously
murthered
.
So
that
some
tasted
of
that
Cruelty
which
others
justly
apprehended
from
the
Arbitrary
Power
you
set
up
there
:
Some
of
them
left
the
Kingdom
,
and
abandoned
their
Estates
,
calling
to
mind
that
Cruel
and
Bloody
Massacre
which
fell
upon
their
Fathers
in
that
Kingdom
,
in
the
year
1641.
And
to
crown
your
Work
,
you
traiterously
invaded
that
Kingdom
,
and
called
a
Number
of
your
Villains
together
,
and
christened
them
by
the
Title
and
Name
of
a
Parliament
;
and
what
you
did
by
their
countenance
,
many
yet
alive
can
tell
.
But
Doctor
King
,
an
old
Passive
Obedience
Friend
of
yours
,
hath
painted
you
out
at
large
in
those
particular
Carriages
of
yours
,
when
you
,
with
your
French
Mirmidons
,
invaded
that
Kingdom
.
But
,
Sir
,
let
me
tell
you
,
That
Great
William
our
King
hath
endeavoured
,
and
doth
still
study
to
bring
Ireland
into
such
a
State
,
that
the
Settlement
of
the
Protestant
Religion
may
there
be
religiously
observed
,
and
the
Protestant
English
Interest
may
be
secured
against
any
Effort
of
yours
,
or
your
Irish
Teagues
to
the
contrary
notwithstanding
.
III.
SCOTLAND
.
You
having
play'd
your
Game
so
well
in
Ireland
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
to
cast
our
Eye
upon
that
Quondam
Ancient
Kingdom
,
and
see
how
you
managed
there
;
for
as
you
managed
Ireland
by
a
Tool
that
succeeded
the
Lord
Roberts
,
so
in
Scotland
You
and
your
Brother
acted
by
Lauderdale
,
for
he
brought
all
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
Scotland
to
the
Council-Chamber
,
bringing
all
Persons
and
Causes
of
any
moment
to
your
Arbitrary
Council
,
who
acted
as
Lords
Paramount
without
controul
;
and
so
zealous
were
you
,
by
him
,
to
promote
and
support
the
French
Interest
there
,
that
continually
new
Levies
were
making
in
Scotland
for
the
Service
of
the
French
King
,
tho'
at
that
very
time
we
were
pretending
a
French
War
in
England
.
You
remember
,
Sir
,
that
by
your
Influence
upon
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
on
the
Council
of
Scotland
,
you
make
them
use
all
the
diligence
that
was
possible
to
get
an
Army
there
,
to
be
a
standing
Army
in
the
room
of
the
Militia
of
that
Kingdom
,
the
Militia
being
not
thought
fit
for
your
Popish
Designs
:
And
the
means
to
effect
the
same
,
you
pitch'd
upon
those
you
judged
to
be
the
most
effectual
;
which
was
,
first
to
Oppress
and
Enrage
the
Dissenters
:
and
this
could
not
be
better
accomplished
,
than
by
disturbing
and
prosecuting
their
Meetings
,
and
Religious
Assemblies
for
the
Worship
of
God
;
which
You
and
your
Conspirators
did
with
all
imaginable
diligence
.
And
you
having
found
out
a
new
way
by
caution
,
your
Conspirators
devised
a
Bond
should
be
imposed
upon
every
Man
they
marked
out
for
Ruine
,
as
being
Enemies
to
their
Arbitrary
Proceedings
;
which
Bond
was
,
That
the
Landlord
should
be
bound
for
his
Tenant
,
the
Master
for
his
Servant
,
and
the
Husband
for
the
Wife
,
and
Father
for
the
Children
,
not
to
go
to
Conventicles
:
Which
you
knew
many
would
not
do
;
for
that
the
People
of
Scotland
generally
hated
Praelatical
Government
.
But
this
way
they
thought
would
so
enrage
the
People
,
whom
they
fore-knew
would
not
part
with
their
Meetings
,
that
they
doubted
not
but
to
force
a
Rebellion
;
and
thereupon
have
a
fair
Pretence
to
raise
Forces
for
the
Security
of
the
Kingdom
against
restless
Meeters
and
Meetings
.
Which
Design
,
Sir
,
You
and
your
Party
in
that
Kingdom
did
at
last
effect
.
Another
Device
you
and
your
Conspirators
had
of
seizing
the
Field-Meetings
by
the
armed
Forces
,
and
destroying
them
both
in
Bodies
and
Estates
,
and
dragging
them
to
Gaols
,
and
then
by
whole
Ship-loads
selling
them
to
the
Plantations
as
Condemn'd
Men
;
and
Ship-loads
coming
here
for
London
,
they
,
by
one
way
or
another
,
got
their
Liberty
.
Was
this
of
the
Bond
all
?
And
was
the
Selling
of
them
all
?
No
:
For
You
and
your
Conspirators
found
out
another
way
,
by
the
Tyranny
of
Duke
Lauderdale
;
and
that
was
this
:
There
was
a
Warrant
procured
from
the
Council
of
Scotland
to
disarm
divers
Shires
and
Low-lands
of
that
Kingdom
;
and
when
that
would
not
exasperate
them
,
then
another
Order
was
procured
to
order
the
High-landers
,
a
sort
of
barbarous
Papists
,
to
be
armed
,
and
by
whole
Regiments
to
come
down
upon
the
Inhabitants
,
spoiling
and
destroying
the
whole
Country
,
living
amongst
them
at
discretion
;
and
these
very
High-landers
,
thus
armed
,
under
the
pretence
of
keeping
the
Peace
,
had
,
in
their
Commission
from
your
Brother's
and
your
Council
in
Scotland
,
Authority
to
live
at
Free
Quarter
upon
those
Inhabitants
,
which
they
did
divers
Months
together
,
to
the
destruction
of
the
poor
People
.
And
all
this
was
to
procure
a
Rebellion
at
any
rate
.
But
least
this
should
be
too
general
,
I
will
descend
to
some
Particulars
,
that
the
thing
may
be
plain
,
to
your
Ragged
Regiment
at
St.
Germans
,
and
your
Hell-born
Cut-throat
Crew
here
in
England
.
-
I.
I
will
shew
you
,
in
several
Particulars
,
how
your
Brother
and
You
invaded
the
Rights
of
the
Good
People
of
Scotland
in
general
.
-
II.
I
will
give
you
to
remember
some
Instances
of
your
Brother's
,
and
your
Barbarity
to
particular
Persons
.
-
III.
Your
Brother's
and
your
way
of
using
your
Prisoners
.
I.
Give
me
leave
to
put
you
and
your
Conspirators
in
mind
of
several
Particulars
,
in
which
your
Brother
and
you
invaded
the
Rights
of
the
good
People
of
Scotland
:
And
that
this
Point
may
be
more
plain
,
I
will
illustrate
it
in
these
following
Particulars
.
1.
Your
Conspirators
in
Scotland
did
most
grosly
,
falsly
,
and
impudently
misrepresent
to
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
your Self
,
the
Condition
of
the
Western
Counties
of
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
as
if
they
had
been
in
a
State
of
Rebellion
;
tho'
it
is
well
known
that
they
had
never
made
any
Opposition
to
the
King's
Authority
;
nor
did
they
resist
any
of
the
King's
Forces
,
but
patiently
submitted
to
the
Execution
of
the
Laws
:
But
You
and
your
Conspirators
purposing
to
have
the
King's
Authority
to
carry
on
your
sinister
Designs
,
You
,
with
your
Conspirator
Lauderdale
,
and
the
rest
of
your
Popish
Crew
,
advised
the
King
(
who
was
not
difficult
in
that
Point
to
consent
)
to
raise
an
Army
against
the
Protestants
in
Scotland
;
and
a
Letter
was
signed
by
your
Brother
,
and
sent
to
the
Council
of
Scotland
.
Upon
the
Receipt
of
this
Letter
,
your
Conspirators
,
the
Council
of
Scotland
made
out
Orders
for
the
Raising
an
Army
of
about
Eight
or
Nine
thousand
,
the
most
or
which
were
Popish
Highlanders
:
Which
,
Sir
,
was
so
wicked
a
Contrivance
,
that
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
the
Western
Counties
did
send
to
Edenburgh
,
and
for
the
Security
of
the
Peace
did
offer
to
engage
,
That
whosoever
should
be
sent
,
the
Laws
should
be
put
in
execution
,
and
should
meet
with
no
Affront
;
and
that
they
would
become
Hostages
for
their
Safety
.
Yet
this
Army
so
raised
by
You
,
and
your
Conspirators
,
with
the
Colour
of
the
King
your
Brother's
Authority
,
was
marched
into
a
Peaceable
Country
,
and
did
,
according
to
their
Commissions
,
take
Free
Quarter
;
and
in
most
Places
levied
great
Summs
of
Money
,
under
the
Notion
of
Dry
Quarters
;
and
did
Plunder
and
Rob
the
Protestants
,
of
which
no
Redress
could
be
obtained
,
though
Complaints
were
daily
made
of
these
Barbarities
:
For
your
Brother
and
You
were
resolved
,
that
nothing
should
satisfie
your
Cruelty
,
but
the
extirpation
of
those
who
did
not
comply
,
without
reserve
,
with
your
Arbitrary
Proceedings
.
2.
That
it
was
apparent
,
that
your
Design
was
not
only
to
destroy
those
that
went
to
Field-Meetings
,
but
also
the
whole
Protestant
Interest
;
for
those
that
were
Field-Meeters
,
were
but
tenderly
used
,
in
comparison
of
those
who
went
to
Church
,
who
were
most
quarrered
upon
,
and
destroyed
;
those
of
the
Field-Meeters
,
parting
with
their
Moneys
to
be
excused
as
long
as
they
were
able
;
and
when
those
poor
Wretches
had
no
more
Money
to
satisfie
your
dragooning
Apostles
,
they
were
miserably
used
by
them
:
By
which
means
several
Families
were
Ruined
,
and
brought
to
starve
for
want
of
Bread
.
3.
The
Protestants
also
were
required
to
subscribe
exorbitant
and
illegal
Bonds
,
which
was
impossible
to
be
performed
by
them
,
which
was
against
the
Law
of
Nature
,
which
is
,
no
Man
is
bound
to
impossibilities
,
viz.
That
they
,
their
Wives
and
Children
,
Servants
and
Tenants
,
should
live
orderly
,
according
to
Law
,
and
not
go
to
Conventicles
,
or
entertain
Vagrant
Preachers
,
with
several
other
Particulars
;
by
which
Bond
,
those
that
signed
it
were
liable
to
answer
for
all
Men's
Transgressions
that
lived
upon
their
Lands
:
Which
was
so
hard
a
Case
,
that
Coleman
himself
thought
,
that
if
that
did
not
make
them
Rebel
,
nothing
would
.
4.
That
many
of
the
Protestants
of
that
Kingdom
,
within
those
Counties
,
were
proclaimed
Rebels
,
and
Writs
issued
forth
for
the
seizing
of
their
Persons
,
upon
their
refusing
the
aforesaid
Wicked
and
Illegal
Bond
;
and
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
within
those
Counties
,
who
had
been
ever
faithful
to
the
Crown
,
and
had
appeared
in
Arms
for
the
King
,
were
Discharged
upon
Oath
,
and
a
Proclamation
was
by
your
procurement
Issued
out
,
forbidding
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
,
upon
great
Penalties
,
to
keep
any
Horses
above
Four
pounds
Ten
groats
a
Piece
.
5.
That
the
Protestant
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
the
Shire
of
Ayre
,
at
your
Instance
and
Suggestion
,
were
,
by
the
King's
Order
to
the
Advocate-General
,
indicted
of
High-Treason
,
and
other
high
Crimes
and
Misdemeanours
.
These
Indictments
were
delivered
to
them
in
the
Evening
to
be
answered
by
them
the
next
Morning
upon
Oath
,
and
when
they
did
demand
two
or
three
days
time
to
consider
of
their
Indictments
,
and
craved
the
Benefit
of
having
Counsel
to
advise
withal
in
Matters
of
so
high
Concernment
,
and
also
excepted
against
their
being
put
to
swear
against
themseves
in
Matters
that
were
Capital
;
those
desires
were
rejected
,
and
were
told
they
must
swear
instantly
,
or
be
reputed
guilty
.
6.
Notwithstanding
the
Imposition
of
the
Oath
was
illegal
;
and
the
denying
of
Time
to
consider
of
their
Indictments
;
and
to
have
Lawyers
allowed
them
to
advise
withal
,
had
never
been
denyed
to
the
greatest
of
Malefactors
;
nor
,
indeed
,
could
be
by
the
Laws
of
that
Kingdom
,
yet
for
all
this
,
these
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
knowing
their
Innocency
of
all
that
had
been
charged
upon
them
,
did
purge
themselves
by
Oath
,
of
all
the
Particulars
that
were
objected
to
them
,
and
were
thereupon
acquitted
,
and
though
the
Conspirators
in
the
Committee
of
Council
used
the
severest
manner
of
Inquiry
to
discover
any
seditious
or
treasonable
Designs
,
which
were
pretended
as
Grounds
for
marching
that
Army
into
those
Western
Counties
,
yet
nothing
ever
could
be
proved
.
So
false
was
that
Suggestion
concerning
a
Rebellion
then
designed
by
them
,
though
heartily
desired
by
you
and
your
Conspirators
.
7.
The
Oppressions
,
notwithstanding
the
Acquittal
of
those
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
of
the
said
Counties
,
continuing
upon
them
,
they
went
to
Edenburg
,
to
represent
to
the
Council
the
heavy
Pressure
they
and
their
People
lay
under
,
and
were
ready
to
offer
to
them
,
all
,
that
in
Law
,
or
Reason
,
could
be
required
of
them
,
for
securing
the
Peace
:
The
Council
being
Conspirators
with
your
Vice-Tyrant
Lauderdale
,
I
did
immediately
upon
their
appearing
there
,
set
forth
a
Proclamation
,
requiring
them
to
depart
the
Town
within
three
days
,
upon
very
great
Penalties
.
And
when
the
Duke
of
Hamilton
did
petition
for
leave
to
stay
for
two
or
three
days
longer
upon
some
very
urgent
Affairs
of
his
own
,
that
was
refused
him
.
8.
That
when
some
Person
of
very
great
Quality
,
had
declared
to
the
Villain
Lauderdale
that
they
would
go
and
represent
their
Condition
to
the
King
,
since
they
could
not
have
Justice
from
his
Ministers
.
But
to
prevent
that
,
a
Proclamation
was
set
forth
,
forbidding
all
the
Subjects
to
depart
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
without
License
,
so
that
the
King
might
not
be
acquainted
with
the
Condition
of
the
poor
Protestants
,
and
that
they
might
not
apply
to
him
for
Redress
though
it
would
have
been
to
little
purpose
,
he
,
and
you
,
and
this
Lauderdale
being
in
the
Conspiracy
to
have
them
destroyed
.
2.
Give
me
leave
in
the
Second
Place
,
to
remember
you
of
some
particular
Persons
that
were
Oppressed
by
you
and
your
Wicked
Instrument
,
the
said
Duke
Lauderdale
;
they
were
Persons
of
great
Note
,
for
their
Quality
and
Worth
,
and
their
Oppression
so
great
,
that
the
Protestants
in
Scotland
were
apprehensive
that
all
Protestants
might
be
,
upon
the
slightest
Occasions
,
brought
under
the
like
Oppression
;
for
you
,
and
your
Conspirators
there
managed
your
wicked
Designs
and
Purposes
with
all
the
Dexterity
and
Diligence
that
Men
that
had
a
Mighty
Work
upon
their
Hands
,
and
Mighty
Minds
to
go
through
with
it
,
could
do
for
you
and
your
Party
;
there
being
of
the
Council
upon
many
occasions
proceeded
to
a
new
kind
of
Punishment
;
for
those
who
would
not
comply
with
your
Villanous
Designs
of
bringing
in
of
Slavery
,
so
that
Popery
might
the
more
easily
be
introduced
into
that
Kingdom
,
viz.
Of
declaring
Men
of
Publick
Trust
,
whereby
the
greatest
Persons
were
Robbed
of
their
Honour
,
and
a
Stain
laid
not
only
upon
them
but
upon
their
Posterity
also
;
nay
,
the
Parliament
it self
was
Branded
with
Infamy
,
by
such
a
Severe
and
Illegal
Sentence
by
Lauderdale
himself
in
the
time
of
the
Lord
Middleton's
Government
,
yet
he
by
your
Procurement
,
and
the
express
Command
of
your
Brother
King
Charles
,
caused
it
to
be
done
in
the
lower
Courts
.
I
will
Sir
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
your
Bloody
Cut-Throats
,
both
here
at
home
,
and
your
ragged
Crew
at
St.
Germains
,
put
you
in
mind
of
several
Instances
in
which
that
Ban-Dog
Lauderdale
,
served
your
Brothers
and
your
wicked
Designs
and
Purposes
.
You
may
remember
the
Twelve
Worthy
Protestant
Citizens
of
Edinburgh
that
were
declared
uncapable
of
Publick
Trust
,
against
whom
no
Complaint
was
made
as
can
be
made
out
,
against
you
;
but
you
will
say
,
What
was
the
Cause
?
Then
I
Answer
,
These
Men
being
Magistrates
of
that
City
,
refusing
to
part
with
the
publick
Money
of
the
City
to
Lauderdale
for
what
Uses
you
know
well
enough
,
they
,
I
say
,
were
turned
out
,
and
Conspirators
of
your
own
Stamp
put
in
their
Places
,
and
then
the
Publick
Money
was
drawn
out
of
the
City's
Bank
at
the
desire
of
the
Conspirators
.
The
Provosts
of
Aberdeen
,
Glascow
,
and
Gadburgh
,
were
put
under
the
same
Sentence
for
Signing
a
Letter
to
the
King
your
Brother
,
in
a
Convention
of
Boroughs
,
Stating
a
true
Account
of
their
great
Oppressions
by
the
Conspirators
;
which
Letter
was
Signed
by
the
whole
Body
,
and
the
Letter
was
advised
by
your
Brother's
Advocate
,
as
a
Letter
that
had
nothing
in
it
which
could
bring
them
under
any
Guilt
;
yet
those
were
there
singled
out
of
the
whole
Number
,
and
Incapacitated
,
besides
,
a
high
Fine
and
a
long
Imprisonment
.
Sir
Patrick
Hume
,
since
a
Peer
of
that
Kingdom
,
not
of
your
Creation
,
but
of
the
Creation
of
our
Gracious
King
that
now
is
:
This
worthy
Person
being
sent
by
the
Shire
of
Berwick
,
to
complain
of
some
illegal
Proceedings
,
in
Order
to
obtain
a
legal
Remedy
and
Redress
,
which
he
did
only
in
the
Common
Form
of
Law
,
was
also
declared
uncapable
of
Publick
Trust
,
besides
many
Months
imprisonment
;
and
since
then
,
he
was
another
time
imprisoned
for
almost
one
whole
Year
,
and
nothing
ever
was
charged
upon
him
.
The
Provost
of
Linlithgoe
being
complained
of
,
for
not
furnishing
some
of
your
Brother's
Forces
with
Baggage-Horses
,
was
called
before
the
Council
,
and
because
he
said
they
were
not
bound
in
Law
to
furnish
Horses
in
such
a
manner
,
he
was
immediately
declared
Incapable
of
Publick
Trust
,
and
was
both
fined
and
imprisoned
.
Your
Conspirators
,
as
they
were
diligent
,
doing
yours
and
the
Devils
Drudgery
,
they
sometimes
out-did
themselves
to
please
you
;
for
at
one
time
they
incapacitated
50
of
the
Town
of
S.
Johnstons
,
upon
a
very
slight
Pretence
;
insomuch
that
they
could
not
find
a
sufficient
number
of
Citizens
for
the
Magistracy
of
that
Town
.
It
is
well
known
,
Sir
,
that
for
your
Brother's
Service
and
yours
,
and
for
the
carrying
on
of
your
cursed
Designs
in
that
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
several
Protestants
,
upon
slight
,
and
,
oftentimes
,
upon
no
Ground
,
were
imprisoned
,
and
sometimes
kept
Prisoners
for
many
Months
,
nay
Years
,
though
nothing
hath
been
objected
to
them
.
Some
have
been
required
to
enter
themselves
Prisoners
,
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
that
Kingdom
;
a
particular
Instance
you
made
of
Lieutenant-General
Drummond
,
whose
great
Loyalty
could
never
be
forgotten
,
he
was
required
to
enter
himself
a
Prisoner
in
the
Castle
of
Dunbarton
,
where
he
was
kept
for
eighteen
Months
time
,
nine
of
which
he
was
made
a
close
Prisoner
;
yet
nothing
was
objected
to
him
to
give
the
least
Colour
for
that
usage
.
The
Lord
Cardross
,
a
Man
of
great
Virtue
and
Integrity
,
was
for
his
Lady's
keeping
two
meetings
in
her
House
,
though
he
was
present
at
neither
of
them
,
fined
Eleven
Thousand
Pound
Sterling
;
and
was
kept
several
Years
a
Prisoner
in
Edenburgh
Castle
,
and
was
a
frequent
and
a
long
Petitioner
for
his
Liberty
,
and
could
not
find
for
a
long
time
the
least
Inclination
in
any
of
the
Conspirators
;
nay
,
Application
was
made
to
the
King
,
but
from
your
incensing
the
King
against
him
,
his
Petition
was
rejected
.
Besides
all
these
illegal
Imprisonments
,
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
had
Rogues
of
a
deeper
Dye
;
they
were
Officers
in
your
Cut-throat
Army
in
Scotland
;
these
carried
with
them
General
Warrants
for
the
apprehending
of
any
Person
that
the
Conspirators
had
a
spite
to
,
though
under
no
legal
Censure
,
nor
have
been
so
much
as
cited
to
appear
,
which
put
many
of
the
poor
Protestants
to
very
great
Fears
as
also
to
great
Expence
(
Just
,
Sir
,
as
your
Atterburies
and
the
rest
of
your
cursed
Messengers
did
here
in
England
in
the
time
of
your
Tyranny
.
)
Captain
Castaires
,
a
notable
Villain
,
and
fit
for
a
Dragooning
Apostle
for
the
Devil's
Service
and
yours
,
did
intrap
one
Kirkton
an
outed
Minister
of
Jesus
Christ
,
into
his
Chamber
at
Edenbourgh
,
and
did
violently
abuse
him
and
designed
to
extorted
some
Money
from
him
;
the
Noise
of
this
coming
to
the
Ears
of
one
Baily
,
Brother
in
Law
to
the
said
Kirkton
,
he
came
to
the
House
,
and
hearing
him
cry
Murder
,
Murder
,
forced
open
his
Chamber
Door
,
where
he
found
his
Brother
in
Law
and
the
Captain
grapling
;
the
Captain
pretended
he
had
a
Warrant
against
Kirkton
,
and
Baily
desired
him
to
shew
it
,
and
promised
that
all
Obedience
should
be
given
to
it
;
but
the
Captain
refusing
to
do
it
,
Kirkton
was
rescued
.
This
was
only
delivering
a
Man
from
one
of
your
Robbers
according
to
the
Law
of
Nature
.
The
Captain
complained
of
this
to
your
Conspirators
,
and
the
Lord
Hatton
,
with
others
of
the
same
Kidney
,
were
appointed
to
examine
the
Witnesses
;
and
when
it
was
brought
before
the
Council
,
the
Duke
of
Hamilton
,
the
Earls
of
Morton
and
Dumfrize
,
and
Kincardin
,
the
Lord
Cocheren
,
and
Sir
Archibald
Primrose
,
then
Lord
Register
,
desired
,
that
the
Report
of
the
Examination
might
be
read
;
but
that
not
serving
the
Designs
of
your
Conspirators
,
was
denied
:
Thereupon
those
Lords
delivered
their
Opinions
,
That
since
Castaires
did
not
shew
any
Warrant
,
nor
was
cloathed
with
any
publick
Character
,
it
was
no
Opposition
to
the
King's
Authority
,
in
Baily
to
rescue
the
said
Kirkton
:
But
for
this
Opinion
,
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
and
Lauderdale
,
put
these
Lords
out
of
the
Council
,
and
out
of
all
Command
in
the
Militia
,
and
though
it
could
have
been
made
appear
that
he
had
no
Warrant
at
all
against
Kirkton
,
but
procured
it
after
the
Violence
committed
,
and
it
was
antedated
on
design
to
serve
a
turn
at
that
time
;
yet
the
said
Baily
was
fined
6000
Marks
and
kept
in
Prison
for
a
long
time
;
which
sort
of
Proceedings
put
the
poor
Protestants
under
sad
Apprehensions
.
3.
Now
,
Sir
,
I
pray
remember
how
your
Conspirators
used
the
poor
Protestants
when
they
had
them
in
Prison
.
There
was
fourteen
Men
taken
at
a
Field
Meeting
,
who
,
without
being
legally
convict
of
that
or
any
other
Crime
,
were
secretly
and
in
the
Night
taken
out
of
a
Prison
upon
a
Warrant
signed
by
the
Earl
of
Linlithgo
,
and
the
Lords
Hatton
and
Collington
,
and
were
delivered
to
Captain
Maitland
,
who
had
been
Page
to
Duke
Lauderdale
,
but
after
,
a
French
Officer
,
and
was
making
his
Levies
in
Scotland
,
and
were
carried
over
to
the
Service
of
the
French
King
,
in
the
Year
1676.
Your
Conspirators
in
Scotland
did
,
for
your
Brother's
Service
and
yours
,
upon
many
Occasions
proceed
to
the
most
unreasonable
and
arbitrary
Fines
either
for
slight
Offences
,
or
for
Offences
where
the
Fine
is
regulated
by
Law
,
which
they
have
never
considered
when
the
Persons
were
obnoxious
to
them
.
So
the
Lord
Cardross
was
fined
11000
l.
for
his
Ladies
keeping
two
Meetings
in
his
House
,
and
Baptizing
a
Child
by
an
outed
Minister
,
without
his
Knowledge
;
the
Provost
formerly
mentioned
,
and
Baily
,
and
many
others
were
also
fined
without
any
Regard
had
to
the
Law
.
4.
Give
me
leave
,
Sir
,
to
put
you
in
mind
of
a
fourth
Piece
of
Villany
acted
by
you
and
your
Brother
upon
the
Protestants
of
Scotland
.
Your
Conspirators
,
by
your
Brother's
Authority
,
and
your
Procurement
,
did
several
times
proceed
to
take
away
Gentlemens
Dwelling
houses
from
them
,
and
to
put
Garrisons
into
them
,
even
in
the
time
of
Peace
,
contrary
to
all
Law
,
Justice
,
and
Reason
.
In
the
Year
1675
,
it
was
designed
against
twelve
Protestant
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
,
and
executed
upon
the
Houses
of
the
Earl
of
Callendar
,
the
Lord
Cardross
,
the
Lady
Lumsden
,
&c.
and
it
was
again
attempted
in
the
Year
1678
,
upon
the
Houses
belonging
to
the
Lairds
of
Chesnock
,
Blaghan
and
Rowallane
,
and
they
were
possessed
by
Souldiers
and
declared
Garrisons
:
Nor
did
it
rest
here
,
but
your
Conspirators
sent
Orders
,
and
required
the
Countries
about
those
Houses
,
to
furnish
them
for
the
use
of
your
Souldiers
,
and
to
supply
them
with
Necessaries
,
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
that
Kingdom
:
It
was
against
this
,
that
Sir
Patrick
Hume
,
now
a
Peer
of
Scotland
,
applied
himself
to
the
Conspirators
to
have
Redress
;
and
common
Justice
being
denied
him
,
he
used
a
legal
Protestation
in
the
ordinary
Form
of
the
Law
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
was
thereupon
kept
many
Months
in
Prison
,
and
declared
uncapable
of
all
Publick
Trusts
.
5.
I
must
put
you
in
mind
how
you
by
your
Conspirators
endeavoured
to
kindle
a
Flame
amongst
the
Scotch
;
for
since
you
had
disobliged
so
many
of
them
,
and
had
begot
such
a
Disaffection
in
them
against
you
and
your
Brother
;
your
great
Design
was
to
keep
that
Disaffection
alive
,
and
not
only
so
,
but
so
to
increase
it
,
as
to
make
them
rise
and
take
up
Arms
in
their
own
defence
;
therefore
in
order
to
this
in
the
Year
1677
,
April
19.
the
Letters
of
your
Conspiring
Jesuits
,
to
the
Procurator-General
at
Madrid
,
gave
him
notice
,
that
your
Conspirators
at
London
,
the
Fathers
of
the
Society
,
had
sent
for
Scotland
,
three
Jesuits
in
Masquerade
to
give
the
poor
provoked
Scots
to
understand
these
three
things
:
1.
That
all
the
Miseries
,
under
which
they
groaned
,
was
from
the
Bishops
and
their
Clergy
,
which
Doctrine
they
were
inclined
enough
to
believe
,
they
naturally
hating
the
Government
of
the
Church
by
that
sort
of
Men
,
as
being
against
the
express
Word
of
God
,
and
tending
to
Tyranny
.
2.
That
there
was
no
other
way
to
recover
their
Liberty
and
Religion
,
but
by
the
Sword
;
and
this
was
certainly
true
,
for
they
had
made
all
the
humble
Applications
that
could
be
made
by
Men
,
both
to
the
King
your
Brother
and
the
Council
in
Scotland
,
and
could
find
no
Redress
of
their
Grievances
;
for
as
these
Villains
were
sent
to
exasperate
them
on
the
one
hand
,
so
you
and
your
Traitor
Lauderdale
augmented
their
Miseries
on
the
other
hand
,
and
all
in
Order
to
make
them
take
up
Arms
in
their
own
Defence
.
3.
That
the
King
your
Brother
was
so
addicted
to
his
Pleasure
,
that
he
neither
would
nor
could
take
care
in
that
Concern
,
but
left
them
to
be
redressed
by
those
that
cruelly
oppressed
them
;
which
was
as
notoriously
true
:
and
you
wanted
not
your
wicked
Instruments
to
accomplish
the
great
Design
you
had
in
hand
,
of
enslaving
the
Protestants
of
that
Kingdom
,
so
that
the
Method
you
took
,
by
your
Jesuits
,
by
their
Insinuations
,
and
by
your
Task-masters
to
oppress
them
,
you
did
very
much
incline
them
,
to
take
up
Arms
against
your
Conspirators
in
their
own
Defence
.
Sir
,
Your
Jesuits
in
Scotland
laid
not
aside
their
Attempts
there
,
to
make
the
distressed
Protestants
rise
;
for
the
whole
Popish
Party
was
at
Work
to
stir
up
the
Commotion
,
by
them
designed
,
in
that
Kingdom
,
as
appears
by
Letters
from
thence
,
from
your
Incendiaries
,
of
the
11th
.
of
August
,
1678.
Nay
,
that
the
Work
might
take
effect
,
Eight
thousand
Scots
that
were
of
the
Romish
Religion
should
be
ready
,
For
what
?
to
join
with
the
disaffected
Scots
:
Such
Sots
you
employed
,
as
if
the
disaffected
Scots
would
join
with
them
.
But
the
Truth
of
it
was
,
to
Pillage
and
Destroy
the
Habitations
of
those
that
should
rise
in
the
Defence
of
their
Lives
,
Liberties
,
and
Religion
;
for
that
was
the
Intent
,
whatever
Imaginations
your
Cut-throat
Jesuites
had
in
their
empty
Noddles
,
that
appears
in
their
Pacquet
of
August
the
10th
.
1678.
directed
to
John
Grove
:
For
you
must
remember
that
was
your
Design
,
and
Lauderdale's
,
tho'
your
Jesuites
thought
,
that
the
poor
Protestants
might
be
brought
to
join
with
the
Popish
Party
,
to
make
a
Commotion
there
:
for
when
your
Secretary
perused
the
Contents
,
he
laughed
at
the
Folly
of
the
Scotch
Jesuites
,
but
said
,
If
the
Scotch
would
rise
,
he
cared
not
with
whom
they
joined
;
for
their
Rising
was
the
thing
that
was
desired
.
Your
Design
had
its
effect
;
for
their
Provocations
were
so
many
,
and
their
Oppression
so
great
from
Lauderdale
,
and
his
wicked
Party
,
who
were
serving
your
Brother's
,
and
your
Popish
Designs
,
to
bring
that
People
under
a
despotick
Power
,
and
the
Insolencies
of
your
impudent
Clergy
was
such
,
that
they
could
no
longer
bear
;
and
therefore
in
the
Year
1679.
they
did
raise
Forces
,
and
armed
them
;
and
by
their
Declaration
they
were
far
from
carrying
on
a
Popish
Design
;
for
their
Design
was
the
Extirpation
of
Popery
,
and
Popish
Prelacy
,
out
of
Scotland
,
which
had
been
a
great
Grievance
to
that
Kingdom
.
And
because
,
Sir
,
you
may
have
forgotten
their
Declaration
,
I
will
give
it
Word
for
Word
,
and
is
as
follows
:
AS
it
is
not
unknown
to
a
great
Part
of
the
World
,
how
Happy
the
Church
of
Scotland
was
whilst
they
enjoyed
the
Ordinances
of
Jesus
Christ
in
Purity
and
Power
,
of
which
we
have
been
deplorably
deprived
,
by
the
Re-establishment
of
Prelacy
;
so
it
is
evident
,
not
only
to
impartial
Persons
,
but
to
professed
Enemies
,
with
what
unparalell'd
Patience
and
Constancy
the
People
of
God
have
endured
all
the
Cruelty
,
Injustice
,
and
Oppression
,
that
the
Will
and
Malice
of
Prelacy
and
Malignants
could
invent
,
and
exercise
.
And
being
most
unwilling
to
act
any
thing
which
might
import
Opposition
to
lawful
Authority
,
or
engage
the
Kingdoms
in
War
,
although
we
have
been
all
along
groaning
under
the
Over-turning
the
Work
of
Reformation
,
Corruptions
of
Doctrine
,
Slighting
of
Worship
,
Despising
of
Ordinances
,
the
Changing
the
Ancient
Church-Discipline
and
Government
,
Thrusting
out
so
many
of
our
Faithful
Ministers
from
their
Charges
,
Confining
straightly
,
Imprisoning
,
Exileing
,
yea
,
and
putting
to
Death
many
of
them
,
and
Intruding
upon
their
Flocks
a
Company
of
Insufficient
Scandalous
Persons
,
Confining
,
Imprisoning
,
Torturing
,
Tormenting
,
Scourging
,
and
Stigmatizing
Poor
People
,
Plundering
their
Goods
,
Quartering
upon
them
Rude
Soldiers
,
Selling
their
Persons
to
Foreign
Plantations
,
Horning
and
Intercommuning
many
of
both
Sexes
,
whereby
great
Numbers
,
in
every
corner
of
the
Land
,
were
forced
to
leave
their
Dwellings
,
Wives
,
Children
,
and
Relations
,
and
made
to
wander
as
Pilgrims
,
still
in
Hazard
of
their
Lives
,
none
daring
to
Recet
,
Harbour
,
or
Supply
,
(
though
Starving
;
)
or
so
much
as
to
speak
to
them
,
though
upon
Death-bed
,
without
making
themselves
obnoxious
to
the
same
Punishments
.
And
these
things
acted
under
colour
of
Law
,
in
effect
tending
to
banish
not
only
all
Sense
of
Religion
,
but
also
to
extinguish
all
natural
Affection
,
even
amongst
Persons
of
nearest
Relations
,
and
likewise
groaning
under
the
intolerable
Yoak
of
Oppression
in
our
Civil
Interest
,
our
Bodies
,
Liberties
,
and
Estates
;
so
that
all
manner
of
Outrages
have
been
most
arbitrarily
exercised
upon
us
,
for
a
Tract
of
several
Years
past
,
particularly
in
the
Year
1678.
by
sending
us
an
armed
Host
of
Barbarous
Savages
,
contrary
to
all
Law
,
and
Humanity
;
and
by
laying
on
us
several
Impositions
,
and
Taxes
,
as
formerly
,
so
of
late
,
by
a
Meeting
of
Prelimited
and
Over-awed
Members
in
the
Convention
of
Estates
in
July
,
1678.
for
keeping
up
of
an
armed
Force
,
intrusted
(
as
to
a
great
part
of
it
)
into
the
Hands
of
avowed
Papists
,
or
Favourers
of
them
,
by
whom
sundry
Invasions
have
been
made
upon
us
,
and
most
exorbitant
Abuses
,
and
incredible
Insolencies
committed
against
us
;
and
we
being
continually
sought
after
,
while
meeting
in
Houses
for
Divine
Worship
,
Ministers
and
People
frequently
apprehended
,
and
most
rigorously
used
;
and
so
being
necessitated
to
attend
the
Lord's
Ordinances
in
the
Fields
,
in
the
most
desert
Places
;
and
there
also
often
hunted
out
,
and
assaulted
,
to
the
effusion
of
our
Blood
,
and
killing
of
some
,
whereby
we
were
inveitably
constrain'd
either
to
defend
our selves
by
Arms
at
those
Meetings
,
or
be
altogether
deprived
of
the
Gospel
preached
by
Faithful
Ministers
,
and
made
absolute
Slaves
:
At
one
of
which
Meetings
,
upon
the
First
Day
of
June
instant
,
being
the
Lord's
Day
,
Captain
Graham
,
of
Claverhouse
,
being
warranted
by
a
late
Proclamation
to
kill
whomsoever
he
found
in
Arms
at
Field-Conventicles
making
Resistance
,
did
furiously
assault
the
People
assembled
;
and
further
,
to
provoke
,
did
cruelly
bind
,
like
Beasts
,
a
Minister
,
with
some
others
whom
he
had
found
that
same
Morning
in
Houses
;
and
several
being
killed
on
both
sides
,
they
knowing
certainly
that
by
Law
they
behoved
(
if
apprehended
)
to
dye
,
they
did
stand
to
their
own
defence
,
and
continue
together
;
and
there
,
after
many
of
our
Friends
and
Countrymen
being
under
the
same
Oppression
,
expecting
the
same
measure
,
did
freely
offer
their
Assistance
.
We
therefore
thus
inevitably
,
and
of
absolute
Necessity
,
forced
to
take
this
last
Remedy
,
(
tho
Magistrates
having
shut
the
Door
by
a
Law
against
Application
,
that
whatever
our
Grievances
be
,
either
in
things
Civil
or
Sacred
,
we
have
not
the
Privilege
of
a
Supplicant
)
do
judge
our selves
bound
to
dcelare
,
That
these
,
with
many
other
horrid
Grievances
,
in
Church
and
State
,
(
which
we
purpose
to
manifest
more
fully
hereafter
)
are
the
true
Causes
of
this
our
Lawful
and
Innocent
Self-defence
:
And
we
most
solemnly
,
and
in
the
presence
of
Almighty
God
,
the
Searcher
of
all
Hearts
,
declare
,
that
the
true
Reasons
of
our
continuing
in
Arms
,
candidly
and
sincerely
,
are
these
:
First
,
The
defending
and
securing
of
the
true
Protestant
Religion
,
and
Presbyterian
Government
founded
upon
the
Word
of
God
,
and
summarily
comprehended
in
our
Confessions
of
Faith
and
Catechism
,
and
established
by
the
Laws
of
this
Land
,
to
which
King
,
Nobles
,
and
People
are
solemnly
sworn
and
engaged
in
our
National
Solemn
League
and
Covenant
;
and
more
particularly
the
Defending
and
Maintaining
the
Kingly
Authority
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
over
his
Church
,
against
all
sinful
Supremacy
derogatory
thereto
,
and
incroaching
thereupon
.
Second
,
The
preserving
and
defending
the
King's
Majesty
,
his
Person
and
Authority
in
the
Preservation
and
Defence
of
that
true
Religion
and
Liberties
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
the
World
may
bear
Witness
with
our
Consciences
,
of
our
Loyalty
;
and
that
we
have
no
Thoughts
nor
Intention
to
diminish
his
just
Power
and
Greatness
.
Third
,
The
Obtaining
of
a
Free
and
United
Parliament
,
and
a
Free
and
General
Assembly
in
Order
to
the
Redressing
of
our
foresaid
Grievances
for
the
preventing
the
eminent
Danger
of
Popery
,
and
extirpating
Prelacy
from
amongst
us
.
This
therefore
being
the
Cause
we
appear
for
,
and
resolve
,
in
God's
Name
,
to
own
,
hereby
homologating
all
the
Testimonies
of
faithful
Sufferers
for
the
Truth
in
Scotland
these
eighteen
Years
by
gone
.
We
humbly
request
the
King's
Majesty
to
restore
all
things
as
he
found
them
when
God
brought
him
home
to
his
Crown
and
Kingdoms
;
and
if
that
cannot
be
obtained
,
then
we
heartily
and
humbly
invite
and
intreat
,
beseech
and
obtest
,
by
the
Bowels
of
Jesus
Christ
,
all
who
are
under
the
same
Bonds
with
us
,
to
occur
in
this
Common
Cause
and
Interest
;
and
that
they
will
not
stand
still
and
see
not
only
us
oppressed
but
this
foresaid
Cause
ruined
,
Adversaries
proudly
and
highly
insult
against
God
and
all
good
Men
,
Friends
of
the
Truth
discouraged
,
yea
,
the
Protestant
Cause
in
Britain
and
Ireland
,
and
even
your selves
within
a
little
time
made
a
Prey
of
,
or
else
forced
,
when
we
are
broken
,
(
which
the
good
Lord
prevent
)
dreadfully
to
wrong
your
Consciences
.
Finally
,
because
we
desire
no
Man's
hurt
or
blood
,
we
request
our
Country-men
,
now
the
standing
Forces
of
this
Kingdom
,
some
of
them
being
our
Friends
and
Kinsmen
,
not
to
fight
against
us
,
least
in
so
doing
they
be
found
fighting
against
the
Lord
,
whose
Cause
and
Quarrel
we
are
sure
he
will
own
and
signally
countenance
,
seeing
we
fight
under
his
Banner
who
is
the
Lord
of
Hosts
.
This
,
Sir
,
you
know
,
was
the
Declaration
of
these
Blessed
Servants
of
God
,
but
you
had
not
filled
up
the
measure
of
your
Sins
,
and
therefore
God
was
pleased
to
deliver
these
miserably
enslaved
wretches
into
your
hands
,
and
they
were
made
a
prey
to
your
never
to
be
forgotten
Cut-throats
;
and
some
of
them
sealed
their
Testimony
of
Jesus
with
their
Blood
:
You
may
remember
what
Havock
your
Popish
Crew
made
of
them
both
in
their
Estates
and
Families
,
that
Scotland
was
a
Field
of
Blood
,
through
many
Barbarous
Murders
that
you
by
the
Hands
of
your
Party
Committed
there
.
Some
of
your
bloody
Crew
here
,
especially
the
Tyrant
Lauderdale
,
were
exceeding
glad
of
the
News
of
these
poor
Protestants
Rising
,
and
your
Popish
Conspirators
and
their
Motly
Protestant
Admirers
and
Abettors
did
prick
up
their
Ears
at
the
News
,
and
concluded
the
Day
was
their
own
.
Our
English
Popish
Army
was
to
cut
their
Throats
first
,
and
then
the
Throats
of
all
English
Men
that
stood
in
their
Way
afterwards
.
And
Lauderdale
highly
valued
himself
upon
this
Rising
(
for
Posts
came
every
day
to
White-hall
to
bring
the
News
of
their
Increasing
)
boasting
that
now
the
Fanaticks
had
shewed
themselves
in
their
Colours
;
and
that
it
was
by
that
strict
hand
that
he
had
kept
over
them
in
Scotland
that
had
been
the
Cause
of
their
being
quiet
so
long
,
hoping
by
this
to
get
Honour
for
his
prudent
Management
,
when
all
Mankind
knows
that
his
Management
was
with
a
Design
to
make
them
take
up
Arms
:
And
it
was
you
and
he
that
raised
that
Devil
;
but
,
Sir
,
you
know
whom
you
had
appointed
to
betray
them
.
Sir
,
you
were
in
Flanders
,
thither
the
News
was
sent
to
you
,
not
because
you
were
ignorant
of
the
Contrivance
;
but
it
was
a
Watch-word
for
your
Return
:
But
that
you
might
lay
this
Devil
,
which
you
and
your
Conspirators
had
raised
,
and
kill
two
Birds
with
one
Stone
;
therefore
you
pitch'd
upon
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
that
he
might
destroy
the
Protestants
there
,
and
that
his
Person
might
either
fall
in
Scotland
,
or
his
Reputation
be
ruined
here
at
home
;
therefore
by
your
Advice
or
rather
Direction
,
he
is
ordered
for
Scotland
in
all
hast
,
for
it
was
the
Grief
of
your
Soul
to
see
him
the
Darling
of
the
Protestants
of
both
Kingdoms
.
Besides
,
Sir
,
you
knew
,
that
if
he
went
Armed
into
Scotland
,
without
Assent
of
Parliament
in
both
Kingdoms
,
by
an
Act
made
in
the
Reign
of
Charles
the
F●st
,
was
High
Treason
and
therefore
the
Consequences
might
be
fatal
to
him
every
way
.
However
he
went
by
the
general
Consent
of
the
Council
,
and
was
well
received
in
Scotland
,
by
Vertue
of
his
Commission
given
him
,
and
draws
the
Army
in
Scotland
together
and
faces
these
poor
Wretches
;
and
indeed
,
as
Matters
had
been
managed
in
Scotland
,
it
was
a
great
Question
if
the
Forces
in
Scotland
would
have
been
prevailed
with
,
with
so
little
Difficulty
to
be
commanded
to
go
out
against
these
innocent
and
oppressed
Country-men
of
theirs
,
had
it
not
been
to
go
under
the
Command
of
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
who
marches
up
to
the
Enemy
,
they
by
their
Petition
desire
Liberty
of
Religion
,
and
offer
to
lay
down
their
Arms
;
it
being
given
out
by
your
Party
,
that
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
had
a
Power
of
giving
them
Terms
,
but
that
could
not
be
done
by
him
,
for
your
Blood-hounds
never
intended
they
should
have
any
Quarter
given
them
,
therefore
he
had
not
that
Power
in
his
Commission
,
of
granting
any
Terms
as
was
promised
him
:
Nay
,
if
I
am
not
mistaken
,
after
that
he
had
left
London
,
the
Instructions
that
he
had
to
grant
Terms
were
recalled
before
ever
he
arrived
in
Scotland
;
so
that
some
of
our
Counsellors
intended
well
,
and
though
all
things
were
promised
not
long
before
to
be
acted
before
their
Faces
above-board
,
yet
they
were
mistaken
;
for
all
the
chief
of
their
Consults
were
privately
acted
amongst
your
Popish
Crew
,
the
French
Ambassador
,
and
your
Priests
,
at
the
Duchess
of
Portsmouth's
Lodgings
;
and
to
give
them
a
Reputation
,
the
honest
Part
of
the
Council
sitting
as
Cyphers
,
all
was
done
as
by
an
Order
of
the
King
and
Council
.
Well
,
what
then
?
The
Duke
of
Monmouth
engaged
with
these
poor
Creatures
,
but
your
Rogues
,
and
Trickers
,
and
Officers
amongst
these
poor
Souls
,
soon
left
them
,
before
the
Battle
was
begun
;
so
that
the
Pains
of
Reducing
them
was
not
very
great
nor
hazardous
,
and
divers
of
these
poor
Protestants
were
murdered
upon
the
place
by
one
Oglethorpe
,
an
eminent
Cut-throat
,
yet
alive
,
notwithstanding
they
cried
for
Quarter
,
which
was
promised
them
;
but
how
well
that
Promise
was
kept
,
was
seen
;
many
hundreds
of
them
having
been
murdered
in
cool
Blood
,
under
a
Colour
of
Law
as
if
they
had
been
Traytors
:
So
that
the
Duke
comes
home
a
Victor
in
the
sence
of
some
,
and
a
vanquished
Person
in
the
minds
and
affections
of
others
,
who
would
not
,
out
of
Love
to
him
,
have
had
him
engaged
with
such
an
ill
Company
of
Cut-throats
in
such
a
thing
in
Scotland
,
they
knowing
it
hazardous
in
many
Respects
;
however
,
for
his
own
Security
,
he
procured
his
Pardon
for
that
Action
.
But
that
Pardon
though
it
was
an
Act
of
great
foresight
in
the
Duke
,
yet
the
Judgment
of
Heaven
pursued
him
;
for
as
he
contributed
to
the
Murder
of
so
many
poor
Protestants
by
the
Help
of
Popish
Cut-throats
,
so
he
himself
was
murdered
,
and
his
Friends
,
by
you
and
your
Popish
Cut-throats
It
will
not
be
amiss
,
Sir
,
to
put
you
in
mind
of
your
Cut-throat
Lauderdale
,
of
whom
you
made
such
use
and
who
complied
against
his
Understanding
,
Judgment
and
Conscience
(
if
he
had
any
)
with
you
and
your
Brother
in
all
those
Villainous
Acts
and
Barbarous
Inhumanities
in
Scotland
.
I
will
now
shew
the
Opinion
that
our
English
Parliament
had
of
that
Monster
of
Mankind
.
1.
Remember
,
Sir
,
the
Address
of
the
House
of
Commons
to
the
King
your
Brother
,
on
April
23.
1675.
for
then
they
found
that
some
persons
in
great
Employment
under
that
King
had
fomented
Designs
against
the
Interest
of
the
Subject
,
intending
to
deprive
Great
Britain
of
its
ancient
Rights
and
Liberties
,
that
thereby
they
might
the
more
easily
introduce
the
Popish
Religion
and
Arbitrary
Government
,
to
the
ruine
and
destruction
of
the
Subjects
thereof
,
amongst
whom
they
had
just
cause
to
accuse
,
for
a
promoter
of
such
Designs
,
the
Duke
of
Lauderdale
,
because
it
had
been
testified
in
their
House
by
several
Members
of
Parliament
,
That
in
a
Hearing
before
the
Council
,
in
the
Case
of
Mr.
Pennystone
Whalley
,
who
had
committed
Mr.
John
James
contrary
to
the
King's
Declaration
of
the
15th
of
March
1671
,
the
said
Duke
of
Lauderdale
did
publickly
affirm
,
in
the
presence
of
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
before
several
then
attending
the
Board
,
that
the
King's
Edicts
were
to
be
obey'd
,
for
that
they
were
equal
with
the
Laws
,
and
ought
to
be
observ'd
;
in
the
first
place
thereby
justifying
the
said
Declaration
,
and
the
Proceedings
thereupon
,
and
declaring
his
Inclination
to
Arbitrary
Councels
,
in
terror
of
all
good
Protestants
.
This
,
Sir
,
was
not
all
,
but
they
had
a
farther
confirmation
of
this
Opinion
by
two
Acts
of
Parliament
,
of
a
very
strange
and
dangerous
nature
,
which
they
had
found
in
the
printed
Statutes
of
Scotland
,
the
first
whereof
was
in
the
third
Session
of
the
first
Parliament
held
under
the
King
your
Brother
,
Cap.
25.
and
the
other
in
a
second
Parliament
,
Cap.
2.
the
like
had
never
passed
since
the
union
of
the
two
Crowns
,
and
were
contrary
to
an
Act
passed
in
the
fourth
year
of
the
Reign
of
James
the
First
,
your
Grandfather
,
which
intended
the
better
abolition
of
all
memory
of
Hostility
,
and
the
dependencies
thereof
between
England
and
Scotland
,
and
the
better
repressing
the
Occasions
of
Discord
and
Disorders
for
time
to
come
;
and
of
a
like
Act
passed
about
the
same
time
in
Scotland
;
by
the
force
of
which
said
late
Acts
there
was
a
Militia
setled
in
that
Kingdom
of
Twenty
thousand
Foot
and
Two
thousand
Horse
,
who
were
obliged
to
be
in
a
readiness
to
march
into
any
part
of
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
for
any
service
wherein
your
Brother's
Honour
and
Greatness
might
be
concerned
;
and
they
were
to
obey
such
Orders
and
Directions
as
they
should
from
time
to
time
receive
from
the
Privy
Council
of
that
Kingdom
:
By
colour
of
which
general
words
the
then
Parliament
did
conceive
that
the
Kingdom
of
England
was
liable
to
be
invaded
upon
any
pretence
whatsoever
.
And
this
was
done
by
the
procurement
of
that
Lauderdale
,
he
having
been
all
the
time
of
those
Transactions
Principal
Secretary
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
chiefly
intrusted
with
the
administration
of
the
Affairs
of
State
there
,
and
he
being
Commissioner
for
holding
the
Parliament
at
the
time
of
passing
the
latter
of
the
said
Acts
,
whereby
the
providing
the
said
Horse
and
Foot
was
effectually
imposed
upon
that
Kingdom
,
and
that
extraordinary
Power
vested
in
the
Privy
Council
there
;
so
that
the
Commons
of
England
conceived
they
had
just
reason
to
apprehend
the
ill
Consequences
of
so
great
and
an
unusal
Power
,
especially
since
at
that
time
the
Affairs
of
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
were
managed
by
the
said
Duke
,
who
publish'd
himself
to
be
a
Person
of
such
pernicious
Principles
;
thereupon
they
pray'd
the
King
your
Brother
to
dismiss
him
from
all
his
Employments
,
and
forbid
him
his
Presence
and
Counsels
for
ever
,
as
a
person
obnoxious
and
dangerous
to
the
Government
.
This
,
Sir
,
is
the
Character
,
and
these
are
the
Qualifications
of
a
person
that
your
Conspirators
judg'd
meet
for
a
man
to
serve
your
Cause
and
Interest
;
and
how
near
he
brought
the
People
of
Scotland
to
the
French
Government
and
Interest
,
I
must
leave
an
impartial
Reader
to
judge
;
he
wanted
nothing
but
a
King
to
make
an
Example
of
him
and
all
such
profligate
Monsters
of
Mankind
.
But
I
will
give
you
a
second
Instance
of
the
good
Opinion
that
the
Commons
of
England
assembled
in
Parliament
had
of
this
Varlet
;
and
that
is
as
follows
.
2.
Upon
the
10th
of
May
,
1678
,
the
Commons
of
England
assembled
in
that
Parliament
represented
to
the
King
your
Brother
,
the
deplorable
condition
the
state
of
the
Kingdom
,
thro'
evil
Counsellors
,
which
,
Sir
,
you
know
were
your
Conspirators
,
and
were
designing
to
overthrow
the
Protestant
Interest
in
both
Kingdoms
,
and
were
the
Cause
why
the
King
your
Brother
follow'd
not
the
Advice
of
his
Parliament
for
the
redressing
of
Grievances
,
amongst
whom
they
reckon'd
John
Duke
of
Lauderdale
,
and
pray'd
that
the
King
would
remove
him
from
his
Council
and
Presence
for
ever
.
3.
I
hasten
to
a
third
Instance
of
the
Opinion
that
the
Commons
of
England
had
of
the
said
Duke
of
Lauderdale
;
and
that
was
in
a
Parliament
held
in
May
10th
,
1679.
They
tell
the
King
in
their
Address
,
That
they
found
the
Kingdoms
involv'd
in
imminent
dangers
and
great
difficulties
by
the
evil
designs
and
pernicious
Counsels
of
some
who
had
been
,
and
were
then
,
actually
in
high
Places
of
Trust
and
Authority
about
the
Person
of
the
then
King
,
who
,
contrary
to
the
Duty
of
their
Places
,
by
their
arbitrary
and
destructive
Counsels
,
tending
to
the
subversion
of
the
Rights
,
Liberties
,
and
Properties
of
the
People
of
Great
Britain
,
and
the
alteration
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
did
endeavour
to
alienate
the
Hearts
of
the
People
from
the
then
King
and
his
Government
,
amongst
whom
they
had
just
reason
to
accuse
the
Duke
of
Lauderdale
for
a
chief
promoter
of
such
Counsels
,
and
more
particularly
for
contriving
and
endeavouring
to
raise
Jealousies
and
Misunderstandings
between
the
Kingdoms
of
England
and
Scotland
,
whereby
Hostilities
might
have
ensued
,
and
might
have
risen
between
the
two
Nations
.
They
took
notice
of
the
many
repeated
Addresses
of
the
immediate
preceding
Parliament
;
and
were
much
concerned
that
notwithstanding
those
Addresses
they
found
that
Duke
Lauderdale
,
with
all
his
Qualifications
,
continued
in
the
Councils
of
the
then
King
,
for
that
the
Affairs
of
the
Kingdom
required
that
none
should
be
put
into
such
Employments
but
such
as
were
not
only
of
known
Abilities
,
Interest
and
Esteem
in
the
Nation
,
but
also
were
without
all
suspicion
of
mistaking
or
betraying
the
true
Interest
of
the
Nation
.
Upon
these
Considerations
a
new
Parliament
pray'd
the
then
King
to
remove
him
the
said
Duke
Lauderdale
from
his
Employments
,
and
Person
,
and
Councels
for
ever
.
You
well
know
,
that
in
the
Month
of
February
1678
,
you
were
banish'd
into
Flanders
,
before
the
meeting
of
the
new
Parliament
,
(
for
the
good
King
your
Brother
parted
with
his
old
Pensioners
,
who
lowed
very
loud
for
want
of
Fodder
,
and
to
save
Charges
,
that
stale
Parliament
was
dissolv'd
and
a
new
one
call'd
)
whom
your
Conspirators
,
by
the
insight
they
had
in
the
Elections
,
knew
it
would
be
such
a
Parliament
as
was
not
for
their
turns
;
therefore
a
deep
Consult
was
held
,
how
to
make
the
Nation
to
believe
that
they
were
in
earnest
;
they
resolv'd
to
discover
the
Plot
,
and
discourage
Popery
,
tho'
in
truth
it
was
the
two
things
you
and
your
Conspirators
aimed
at
to
be
still
supported
.
However
,
to
blind
the
Eyes
of
Mankind
,
it
was
resolved
that
all
imaginable
symptoms
should
be
publickly
professed
,
both
for
the
discovery
of
the
Popish
Plot
,
and
leaving
you
and
your
Conspirators
,
for
you
were
to
absent
your self
from
your
Brother
,
and
go
beyond
Sea
for
some
time
,
upon
these
Considerations
;
the
one
was
,
That
you
being
out
of
the
way
,
might
stop
the
further
examination
of
the
Popish
Plot
,
then
newly
discover'd
to
the
King
,
who
was
in
every
bit
of
it
but
that
of
his
own
Life
;
and
it
had
a
near
relation
to
your self
:
And
by
this
means
your
Conspirators
thought
to
preserve
the
Chief
Conspirator
alive
and
safe
.
The
other
was
for
a
gloss
,
to
make
Mankind
to
think
that
the
King
your
Brother
and
the
Court
were
such
mortal
Enemies
to
Popery
,
that
he
would
not
endure
you
his
Popish
Brother
near
him
,
for
fear
of
being
influenc'd
by
Popish
Councels
.
But
,
Sir
,
you
may
remember
,
that
your self
and
Conspirators
at
St.
James's
were
of
a
different
Opinion
,
some
of
your
Partisans
with
all
their
might
and
skill
opposed
your
leaving
the
Kingdom
,
for
that
it
would
weaken
your
Party
extreamly
,
and
make
persons
more
bold
to
come
in
and
give
Evidence
against
you
when
you
were
absent
than
if
you
were
present
,
and
that
if
you
were
absent
,
tho'
by
the
Royal
Command
of
your
Brother
the
King
,
yet
the
People
would
be
ready
enough
to
say
you
fl●d
for
fear
,
and
that
it
was
in
effect
to
own
your self
guilty
.
Such
Arguments
as
these
were
used
by
your
Conspirators
,
but
the
Whore
Portsmouth
carry'd
it
for
your
going
;
therefore
a
Command
was
sent
to
you
all
of
a
sudden
,
That
it
was
your
Brother's
pleasure
you
should
be
gone
.
This
,
Sir
,
fill'd
many
with
amazement
,
who
knew
not
for
what
ends
such
Counsels
had
been
taken
;
and
it
filled
others
with
great
Joy
,
they
now
believing
that
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
his
Court
,
would
have
been
purg'd
from
Popery
and
his
Popish
Councels
,
and
the
Popish
Fabrick
,
which
had
been
so
long
a
building
,
would
again
tumble
down
,
when
they
saw
you
that
were
the
chief
supporter
of
it
had
left
your
station
.
Well
,
Sir
,
away
you
go
for
Flanders
,
as
if
you
had
been
going
into
another
World
;
but
your
Conspirators
were
not
a
whit
daunted
,
but
resolv'd
to
stick
as
faithfully
to
you
as
you
had
done
before
to
them
.
And
tho'
by
this
departure
of
yours
many
of
your
Conspirators
,
for
whom
the
Kingdoms
were
too
hot
,
and
who
ought
to
have
danced
a
Gambrel
at
Tyburn
,
under
the
pretence
of
being
your
Servants
,
yet
notwithstanding
,
the
hardiest
and
boldest
of
your
impudent
Crew
staid
behind
,
and
watch'd
Affairs
at
home
,
letting
nothing
be
done
that
was
material
but
what
was
done
by
your
Advice
and
Direction
and
theirs
;
and
by
your
being
abroad
,
they
had
the
opportunity
of
studying
and
advising
what
was
fit
to
be
done
at
home
.
This
,
Sir
,
I
must
observe
to
you
by
the
way
,
that
before
you
could
be
prevail'd
upon
to
go
,
you
were
faithfully
promised
,
that
nothing
of
value
or
moment
should
be
done
or
acted
without
you
;
nay
,
the
Speech
that
was
to
be
made
at
the
Opening
of
the
Parliament
was
concluded
on
before
you
went
:
Yet
for
all
this
,
at
the
Meeting
of
the
New
Parliament
,
which
was
now
become
almost
a
Wonder
in
this
Nation
,
a
great
panick
Fear
was
struck
in
all
or
most
of
your
Crew
,
and
they
certainly
had
so
much
Fear
upon
them
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
,
that
they
were
even
ready
to
cry
Quarter
,
or
at
least
to
offer
terms
of
accommodation
,
the
Nation
being
in
a
very
great
ferment
;
and
your
Party
,
that
had
rely'd
so
much
upon
the
mighty
Mind
of
the
French
King
for
Mony
,
began
to
curse
him
for
driving
them
upon
these
Extremities
;
nay
,
you
your self
did
not
spare
to
revile
him
for
the
same
.
The
King
your
Brother
happening
to
be
indispos'd
at
Windsor
,
which
being
posted
over
to
you
,
you
return
with
all
speed
,
and
unexpectedly
;
and
being
here
,
you
had
but
a
little
inclination
to
return
to
Flanders
again
;
but
the
King
pleasing
you
with
some
private
Resolutions
of
his
,
you
did
submit
to
return
again
to
Flanders
,
where
you
was
as
coldly
received
as
at
first
;
but
your
stay
was
not
long
there
,
for
the
Coast
being
then
clear
,
you
resolved
upon
returning
home
,
and
did
accordingly
return
;
and
the
design
,
you
know
,
was
then
to
fix
the
Sham
Protestant
Plot
you
and
your
Conspirators
had
contriv'd
:
But
that
would
not
keep
you
in
England
,
for
it
was
resolv'd
that
you
should
go
to
Scotland
,
to
settle
the
Protestant
Religion
there
,
where
you
receiv'd
the
sad
News
of
the
baffling
the
Sham-Plot
that
you
and
yours
had
thought
to
charge
upon
some
Protestants
,
which
made
you
take
new
Measures
,
and
you
resolv'd
to
part
with
a
small
spell
of
Mony
to
get
the
Parliament
prorogued
for
some
longer
time
,
and
a
greater
Sum
was
pressed
from
France
,
but
without
success
;
for
the
Duke
of
Bucks
spoil'd
that
Design
,
for
which
piece
of
service
you
owed
him
a
Cake
,
and
was
resolv'd
,
if
it
had
not
been
timely
prevented
,
you
would
have
bestow'd
upon
him
a
whole
Loaf
.
But
that
by
the
way
.
Well
,
you
arrive
in
Scotland
,
I
pray
how
were
you
receiv'd
?
with
great
Joy
to
your
Banditti
there
:
Nay
,
the
most
excellent
Protestant
Bishops
receiv'd
you
with
tokens
of
Welcome
,
and
highly
resented
the
Affront
that
the
Parliament
of
England
had
put
upon
you
,
when
they
went
about
to
exclude
you
,
and
very
honestly
declar'd
against
it
;
and
tho'
the
Commons
of
England
were
so
dim
sighted
,
as
not
to
see
that
the
only
way
to
settle
the
Protestant
Religion
was
by
a
Popish
King
,
yet
they
could
see
it
,
and
declare
it
as
an
undoubted
Truth
.
Now
,
Sir
,
it
was
expected
that
you
should
admire
the
Fabrick
that
your
old
Friend
Lauderdale
had
so
delicately
contrived
,
and
in
reward
of
his
good
Service
advance
his
Interest
:
No
,
no
,
you
no
sooner
got
into
Scotland
,
but
you
were
designing
against
Lauderdale
,
he
being
the
great
Instrument
of
sending
you
thither
,
for
you
never
forgave
him
that
Affront
;
so
that
after
your
arrival
in
Scotland
his
Interest
much
dwindl'd
away
.
Thus
you
rewarded
one
of
your
old
Friends
,
who
had
sold
Body
and
Soul
and
all
to
the
Devil
to
serve
you
and
your
Cause
;
he
is
gone
to
his
place
,
I
fear
,
in
sure
and
certain
expectation
of
Wrath
and
Vengeance
,
for
the
many
Villanies
he
had
committed
against
the
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
of
his
Country
.
Whilst
,
Sir
,
you
were
in
Scotland
,
you
and
your
Conspirators
made
your
Designs
to
go
on
to
your
full
content
,
tho'
much
diligence
was
us'd
and
pains
were
taken
in
the
point
:
and
to
give
you
and
your
Accomplices
that
which
is
your
due
,
you
never
did
spare
your
Pains
for
the
bringing
on
your
wicked
Devices
to
perfection
;
and
you
thought
it
good
Policy
and
your
best
way
to
make
sure
of
something
,
that
if
England
should
be
too
hard
for
you
,
yet
you
resolved
to
make
sure
of
Scotland
:
And
,
to
repeal
those
Laws
that
were
in
force
,
which
did
debar
a
Popish
Prince
from
inheriting
that
Crown
,
therefore
you
got
a
Parliament
call'd
,
and
your self
made
High
Commissioner
.
Upon
this
you
labour
the
Point
,
for
the
choice
of
the
Commoners
that
should
be
fit
for
the
purpose
;
and
to
cajole
some
of
the
Lords
,
you
entice
Hamilton
to
come
into
your
Interest
.
You
mounted
the
Throne
as
High
Commissioner
,
without
regarding
the
Law
,
or
due
Qualifications
necessary
in
taking
the
Oaths
,
for
that
was
below
you
:
And
the
King
having
furnish'd
you
with
Letters
,
you
are
admitted
into
the
Council
without
taking
the
Oaths
:
But
being
got
into
the
House
,
you
carried
all
before
you
,
and
got
your
Succession
to
the
Crown
of
Scotland
secured
by
an
Act
;
and
you
got
a
Test
passed
,
by
which
all
were
to
swear
not
to
endeavour
to
alter
that
Government
either
in
Church
or
State
;
and
all
such
as
refused
were
to
lose
their
Employments
.
In
a
word
,
you
made
every
thing
to
pass
that
you
and
your
Crew
had
a
mind
to
.
As
you
were
a
Privy
Councillor
in
that
Kingdom
,
you
wheedled
in
the
Duke
of
Hamilton
,
and
admitted
him
one
of
the
Council
,
who
was
very
zealous
for
the
Protestant
Religion
formerly
,
but
then
began
to
be
very
cool
:
And
so
were
the
rest
of
the
cajoled
Lords
,
they
all
put
on
the
Temper
that
Scotchmen
usually
are
attended
withal
,
that
is
,
to
be
false
to
the
Cause
that
is
persecuted
;
for
,
upon
the
rising
of
the
Parliament
,
they
suffer'd
the
poor
Dissenters
to
be
squeezed
to
death
,
and
suffer'd
all
imaginable
Severities
to
be
used
towards
them
.
You
succeeding
so
well
in
Parliament
,
you
used
great
Endeavours
for
a
standing
Army
,
under
the
notion
of
securing
the
Peace
against
those
Dissenters
and
Field
Meeters
;
but
tho'
you
had
labour'd
hard
in
that
point
,
yet
the
Success
did
not
answer
your
expectation
so
fully
as
to
give
you
content
.
Well
,
Sir
,
what
becomes
of
old
Lauderdale
,
your
faithful
Servant
and
dearly
beloved
Favorite
,
for
I
do
not
find
him
in
this
Parliament
?
No
,
he
's
forced
to
stay
in
England
,
not
daring
to
appear
in
Scotland
,
for
his
Hell
hounds
were
not
able
to
weather
the
Point
,
because
the
Stream
run
so
strong
against
him
(
not
that
you
had
made
any
change
of
his
Measures
in
the
Conspiracy
against
the
Protestant
Interest
and
Religion
,
unless
it
were
for
the
worse
)
;
and
very
desirous
you
were
of
getting
him
into
Scotland
,
and
no
doubt
you
would
have
served
him
a
Scotch
Maiden
Trick
:
Why
so
?
Because
that
Old
Dog
had
been
heard
to
say
,
that
all
you
had
done
in
Scotland
was
nothing
,
in
regard
the
Oaths
were
omitted
;
and
,
that
the
Parliament
was
but
a
Convention
and
what
you
had
done
was
in
it self
void
,
and
of
no
effect
.
These
were
bloody
words
,
and
highly
resented
by
you
;
and
afterwards
you
had
an
Eye
upon
Argyle
,
who
began
to
snort
at
the
Test
;
and
though
he
had
been
a
Dog
in
a
String
to
your
Brother
and
your self
,
some
Qualm
came
cross
his
Conscience
:
He
therefore
began
to
make
his
Interpretations
upon
it
,
which
were
such
as
cut
the
Throat
of
the
thing
it self
:
And
altho'
the
Interpretation
he
gave
could
be
no
other
than
the
genuine
sence
of
the
thing
,
and
plain
to
be
understood
,
that
it
could
mean
no
other
than
what
he
intended
to
take
it
in
,
yet
it
was
so
much
disliked
,
that
he
was
then
to
have
been
made
a
Sacrifice
,
under
the
notion
of
being
guilty
of
High
Treason
,
only
for
explaining
the
Test
;
he
was
accordingly
seized
and
libelled
against
,
and
found
guilty
of
the
Fact
,
and
he
was
then
in
a
fair
way
to
have
lost
his
Life
for
his
Ingenuity
,
but
he
,
with
a
great
deal
of
dexterity
,
made
his
escape
,
and
so
saved
himself
for
that
time
from
being
murder'd
by
you
and
your
Cut-throats
there
.
Scotland
,
Sir
,
you
bridled
and
saddled
,
and
brought
the
Government
there
to
be
something
like
the
French
Mode
,
differing
nothing
but
that
you
had
made
the
Scots
the
greater
Vassals
of
the
two
:
And
the
People
of
that
Kingdom
caressed
you
highly
for
the
grace
and
favour
of
their
Vassalage
,
notwithstanding
which
,
you
were
not
willing
to
stay
any
longer
there
,
your
Friends
advising
you
by
all
means
to
return
to
England
,
to
secure
your
Interest
in
England
,
you
having
setled
Scotland
to
your
content
.
And
this
remember
,
Sweet
Sir
,
that
the
Whore
Portsmouth
,
with
her
Bastard
Son
,
was
by
your
Royal
Brother
sent
to
France
,
to
renew
the
Dover
Treaty
,
in
which
she
was
more
successful
than
your
Sister
of
blessed
memory
,
for
she
was
caressed
by
the
French
King
,
and
her
Bastard
honour'd
as
a
Prince
of
the
Blood
,
and
she
setled
a
firm
Correspondency
between
Lewis
of
France
and
Charles
of
Great
Britain
,
pursuant
to
the
Treaty
at
Dover
.
This
you
heard
of
,
and
you
judged
the
Strumpet
was
undermining
you
,
and
obtaining
the
Succession
for
her
son
,
which
made
you
after
your
arrival
at
Whitehall
more
unwilling
to
return
again
for
Scotland
than
before
;
and
you
pressed
the
then
King
your
Brother
for
your
stay
here
;
but
you
were
told
,
that
you
must
return
to
Scotland
,
where
your
stay
should
be
but
short
;
you
obeyed
,
and
went
by
Sea
,
with
your
chief
Favourite
Mumper
,
who
with
you
was
like
to
have
been
lost
,
but
you
saved
your self
and
the
Curr
,
and
lost
some
Treasure
,
with
a
great
part
of
your
Retinue
,
who
drank
your
Health
,
and
went
to
the
bottom
.
But
you
arrive
in
Scotland
,
and
the
Mony
being
lost
,
your
Intentions
of
having
a
standing
Army
there
were
sunk
also
.
Your
stay
was
to
be
short
in
Scotland
,
and
so
shall
mine
;
therefore
since
I
have
put
you
in
mind
of
your
bridling
and
saddling
that
poor
Kingdom
,
as
a
Subject
and
a
High
Commissioner
for
King
Charles
,
give
me
leave
to
remember
you
of
your
Carriage
when
you
pretended
to
and
usurped
that
Crown
as
King
of
S●otland
,
for
by
the
Laws
of
that
Kingdom
all
Popish
Princes
were
uncapable
of
that
Crown
:
And
because
of
your
Omission
of
the
Oaths
that
were
to
be
by
you
taken
,
all
that
you
did
in
repealing
them
was
null
and
void
,
and
to
no
effect
;
so
that
those
Laws
were
still
in
force
against
you
,
notwithstanding
the
aforesaid
pretended
Repeal
;
for
without
those
Oaths
the
meeting
together
of
Lords
and
Commons
was
no
Parliament
,
but
a
Convention
,
which
cannot
repeal
any
Statute
there
.
Upon
your
taking
that
Crown
,
the
Earl
of
Argyle
,
upon
the
20th
of
May
1685
,
well
knowing
how
the
Protestant
Religion
must
suffer
in
Scotland
,
lands
in
Scotland
near
a
place
called
Kentire
,
and
on
the
21st
sent
forth
his
Declaration
,
wherein
he
tells
the
Scots
,
That
the
End
of
his
coming
was
the
defence
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
the
Protestants
of
Scotland
against
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Government
,
and
therefore
he
required
all
persons
from
sixteen
to
sixty
to
come
and
joyn
with
him
,
with
Arms
and
Provisions
necessary
.
One
of
his
sons
sent
Letters
to
several
Gentlemen
upon
the
same
account
,
so
that
in
few
days
his
Army
was
encreased
to
2500
Men.
But
,
Sir
,
your
Trappan
that
betray'd
the
poor
Protestants
at
Bothw●ll
bridge
,
1679
,
escaping
the
Gallows
,
lived
to
betray
this
poor
Gentleman
,
in
the
year
1685.
for
,
instead
of
shewing
him
the
true
way
wherein
he
should
have
marched
,
provided
Rogues
who
led
him
into
a
bogg
,
from
whence
he
returning
towards
Glyde
,
was
fallen
upon
by
some
Scots
,
and
taken
;
and
,
Sir
,
by
your
Arbitrary
Order
he
was
basely
murder'd
at
Edinburgh
on
the
30th
of
June
following
.
This
man
had
all
along
fought
in
your
Brother's
Cause
and
Quarrel
,
and
was
an
Instrument
to
betray
his
Father
to
your
Brother
,
and
was
murder'd
in
the
beginning
of
his
Reign
after
his
Return
.
This
man
had
served
your
Cause
and
Interest
in
Scotland
many
years
,
and
had
run
in
the
same
excess
of
Riot
with
your
Conspirators
,
but
God
opened
his
Eyes
to
see
your
base
Designs
against
the
Religion
and
Liberties
of
his
Country
,
and
therefore
nothing
would
satisfie
you
but
his
Blood
,
and
the
ruine
of
his
whole
Family
.
Well
,
he
is
dead
,
but
I
must
say
of
him
,
he
deserved
better
Fortune
in
the
World
,
and
more
Favour
from
your
Hands
and
his
that
is
gone
to
his
place
.
Scotland
did
another
time
become
a
Field
of
Blood
;
and
till
it
was
,
you
were
not
contented
.
But
the
Scots
being
weary
of
these
perpetual
disappointments
,
they
submitted
to
your
Government
,
and
you
then
declared
,
by
the
Advice
of
your
Villanous
Conspirators
,
especially
the
damn'd
Bishops
,
that
you
were
clothed
with
an
Absolute
Power
,
and
that
all
your
Subjects
of
that
Kingdom
were
bound
to
obey
you
without
reserve
;
upon
which
you
did
assume
an
Arbitrary
Power
both
over
the
Religion
and
Laws
of
that
Kingdom
:
From
all
which
it
's
apparent
,
what
you
did
when
you
were
Duke
of
York
was
in
order
to
compleat
the
Work
when
you
came
to
be
King
James
.
These
great
and
insufferable
Oppressions
of
the
poor
Protestants
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
the
open
contempt
of
all
Law
,
Justice
,
Sence
,
and
Reason
,
together
with
the
sad
Consequences
that
most
certainly
followed
upon
it
,
did
put
those
poor
People
under
great
and
just
Fears
,
and
did
thrice
make
them
offer
at
such
lawful
Remedies
as
were
Allow'd
by
the
very
Law
of
Nature
,
tho'
it
was
not
with
that
effect
that
was
desir'd
,
Lauderdale
and
your
other
Conspirators
did
endeavour
to
make
all
men
to
apprehend
the
loss
of
their
Lives
,
Liberties
Honours
,
and
Estates
,
if
they
should
go
about
to
preserve
themselves
from
your
great
Oppressions
by
Petitions
,
Remonstrances
,
or
other
means
the
Law
did
allow
of
:
So
you
did
by
several
Scotch
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
,
to
their
utter
ruine
;
therefore
what
Obligation
you
have
laid
upon
the
Kingdom
in
general
,
or
any
one
Protestant
in
particular
,
both
before
and
since
your
pretended
Reign
there
,
I
leave
it
to
your self
and
Conspirators
to
judge
:
And
therefore
blessed
be
God
for
delivering
that
Nation
from
your
Tyranny
and
Oppression
.
IV.
ENGLAND
.
NOW
we
have
seen
your
particular
Projects
that
you
and
your
Conspirators
pursued
to
ruine
Holland
,
Ireland
,
and
Scotland
,
I
think
it
will
not
be
unnecessary
to
put
you
in
mind
of
the
Pranks
you
and
your
Party
play'd
both
before
and
since
you
usurped
the
Imperial
Crown
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
then
you
will
see
whether
you
can
expect
that
any
honest
Englishman
should
ever
engage
for
your
return
again
in
Peace
to
this
Nation
.
Therefore
I
shall
use
this
method
:
1.
I
shall
shew
you
how
far
you
were
engag'd
in
the
Conspiracy
of
turning
the
Civil
Government
into
downright
French
Slavery
,
and
our
Protestant
Religion
into
Popery
,
before
you
took
the
Crown
.
And
,
2.
I
shall
shew
you
what
you
contributed
to
it
after
.
3.
I
will
shew
you
the
unreasonableness
of
the
attempting
your
return
hither
:
On
which
Particulars
,
I
hope
,
you
have
leisure
enough
to
reflect
,
and
advise
about
with
your
worthy
Ministry
you
have
attending
your
person
at
St.
Germains
.
I.
I
will
shew
you
how
far
you
were
engaged
in
the
Conspiracy
of
turning
the
Civil
Government
into
downright
French
Slavery
,
and
our
Protestant
Religion
into
Popery
,
before
you
took
the
Crown
.
When
God
was
pleased
to
restore
you
and
your
Brothers
,
you
may
remember
that
you
came
into
a
Land
flowing
with
Milk
and
Hony
,
for
its
Plenty
,
and
a
well-govern'd
Country
,
for
Religion
and
Virtue
.
But
this
agreed
not
with
the
Complexion
of
your
Souls
,
you
had
another
Game
to
play
,
and
this
I
found
in
a
Letter
of
yours
from
Breda
to
old
Courtney
the
Jesuite
,
That
you
would
follow
the
Directions
that
Mazarine
had
given
you
,
and
then
you
question'd
not
but
to
bring
the
People
to
receive
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
.
This
,
Sir
,
was
your
Project
,
and
how
you
pursued
it
,
let
all
the
World
judge
.
Therefore
,
1.
Your
Conspirators
were
resolv'd
to
remove
all
those
who
had
been
eminent
in
Virtue
and
Sobriety
from
any
Command
or
Place
of
Trust
in
the
Government
.
I
must
not
forget
the
Usage
of
those
who
had
been
great
Instruments
in
that
Work
,
viz.
Two
thousand
Ministers
in
one
day
laid
aside
,
that
room
might
be
made
for
those
whose
Doctrine
should
enslave
the
People
,
and
whose
profligate
Lives
should
render
Men
Atheists
enough
to
be
of
any
Religion
but
of
that
which
was
according
to
Godliness
;
Make
them
Atheists
,
said
Mazarine
,
aad
you
will
soon
make
them
Papists
.
Nay
,
the
love
of
Debauchery
created
such
a
Prejudice
in
your
Brother
the
King
,
against
the
Marquiss
of
Argyle
,
that
it
was
the
chief
Obstacle
to
his
being
pardon'd
,
for
he
had
reprov'd
Charles
for
offering
Violence
to
a
sober
Lady
in
Scotland
,
in
the
year
1650
,
for
which
Reproof
he
never
forgave
Argyle
to
his
dying
day
.
Nay
,
give
me
leave
to
remember
you
,
that
when
that
unfortunate
Lord
was
in
Custody
,
and
humbly
requested
but
to
speak
one
word
with
the
King
before
he
was
carried
for
Scotland
,
to
be
murder'd
,
you
took
upon
you
to
reprove
any
that
should
move
the
King
,
with
this
Jeer.
That
Argyle
was
one
of
the
Godly
Party
,
it
was
not
for
such
fellows
to
see
the
King
:
Or
to
that
purpose
;
and
the
King
your
Brother
was
pleas'd
to
say
,
Let
my
Lord
Argyle
be
content
,
he
shall
see
the
Maiden
e're
long
,
his
own
dearly
beloved
Invention
.
And
nothing
was
a
greater
Argument
for
his
Destruction
than
his
Piety
.
Sir
,
I
can
prove
,
that
those
men
who
were
concerned
in
Judging
and
Condemning
your
Father
to
death
,
tho'
that
was
the
Pretence
or
handle
you
took
to
have
them
cut
off
,
yet
the
great
reason
why
they
were
not
spared
was
,
that
if
they
lived
,
and
as
long
as
they
lived
they
would
have
been
great
Obstacles
in
your
way
of
debauching
the
People
,
and
that
was
the
reason
of
their
being
cut
off
;
for
old
Courtney
being
at
London
,
and
admiring
their
demeanour
and
deportment
in
their
Confinement
,
gave
you
an
account
of
their
Piety
and
Devotion
.
And
so
did
old
Hitchcock
the
Monk
;
but
what
Answer
you
made
them
was
remarkable
;
your
Brother
and
your self
would
never
have
had
them
excepted
,
had
you
not
been
fully
satisfied
,
that
as
long
as
they
lived
you
could
have
no
manner
of
prospect
of
settling
the
Government
,
and
advancing
the
Catholick
Religion
;
both
which
have
told
me
of
their
stedfastness
and
resolution
to
the
last
degree
,
and
could
not
forbear
shedding
of
Tears
when
they
discoursed
that
matter
to
me
;
and
if
you
remember
,
it
was
the
weaker
part
of
those
men
that
had
their
Lives
given
them
;
not
but
that
some
of
them
were
worthy
persons
,
but
they
had
not
arrived
to
those
Experiences
of
God
and
true
Religion
as
the
others
had
done
,
that
laid
down
their
Lives
in
that
Cause
.
But
the
truth
is
,
I
never
found
many
of
them
had
so
little
Grace
as
to
repent
of
what
they
had
done
.
Nay
,
your
Rage
did
not
cease
here
;
for
you
,
by
all
the
Wrong
imaginable
,
pack'd
a
Parliament
together
of
greenheaded
young
Gentlemen
,
the
Sons
of
some
Cavaliers
,
whose
Parents
suffer'd
in
the
late
War
,
and
so
were
haters
of
Dissenters
,
from
whom
an
Act
was
obtained
to
empower
Commissioners
to
displace
all
Officers
that
they
should
judge
not
to
be
firm
to
the
King's
Interest
and
Proceedings
:
By
this
Knack
you
had
all
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
and
Corporation
Magistrates
,
that
had
been
forward
in
punishing
Prophaneness
and
Ungodliness
in
their
respective
Places
,
and
had
been
great
Promoters
of
Religion
and
Holiness
of
Life
,
turn'd
out
,
and
in
their
rooms
were
put
all
profane
and
ungodly
Wretches
,
Swearers
by
,
and
Blasphemers
of
the
Name
of
Almighty
God
,
these
being
Men
for
your
Turn
,
that
you
might
the
more
easily
enslave
,
and
so
pervert
the
People
.
And
it
was
come
to
that
pass
,
that
none
could
have
any
Employment
unless
he
could
swear
and
damn
for
the
Church
,
tho'
they
never
came
within
the
inside
of
one
all
their
days
.
Of
these
,
Sir
,
you
made
most
excellent
Papists
in
process
of
time
,
or
at
least
Favourers
of
the
Popish
Party
.
Your
Conspirators
had
an
Eye
upon
the
City
of
London
,
and
therefore
,
that
none
might
stand
in
your
way
of
debauching
that
City
,
all
the
sober
old
Officers
of
the
Army
was
not
to
come
within
20
miles
of
it
.
This
was
done
by
the
Advice
of
your
old
Friends
the
Priests
,
who
visited
all
your
soured
Cavaliers
,
and
your
Conspiring
Villains
,
and
never
left
urging
to
them
the
danger
the
Government
was
in
,
till
they
were
disarm'd
and
banish'd
London
.
'T
is
true
,
the
great
Argument
was
,
the
Safety
of
the
Government
;
but
the
true
one
was
,
your
making
your
progress
in
perverting
the
People
to
the
Popish
Religion
;
for
all
Virtue
being
discourag'd
,
both
in
Church
and
State
,
they
had
the
fairer
opportunity
of
proselyting
the
prophaner
part
of
Mankind
to
the
Religion
of
the
Church
of
Rome
.
I
must
confess
,
that
some
few
that
were
sober
men
had
the
fortune
to
be
prefer'd
both
in
Church
and
State
;
but
what
Joy
you
and
your
Conspirators
conceiv'd
when
they
were
remov'd
either
by
Death
or
Age
,
is
not
forgotten
.
Those
Statesmen
that
oppos'd
Popery
or
Arbitrary
Power
were
soon
remov'd
,
and
if
they
had
the
hap
to
dye
in
their
Offices
,
they
could
do
no
more
against
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Power
than
tell
their
Friends
what
Care
you
took
to
bring
it
in
.
But
this
I
say
,
if
any
were
but
zealous
,
he
was
commonly
laid
aside
as
useless
and
dangerous
to
the
Government
,
for
as
long
as
they
lived
or
continued
in
Power
,
you
and
your
Party
could
not
go
on
so
smoothly
in
your
Practices
against
our
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
.
2.
It
is
well
remember'd
how
your
Conspirators
carried
a
Villanous
Design
of
putting
on
Sham
Plots
upon
Men
,
in
order
to
take
away
their
Lives
and
Estates
,
to
the
utter
ruine
of
their
Families
and
Posterity
for
ever
.
These
were
so
many
,
that
to
enter
into
the
Particulars
of
them
would
be
enough
to
fill
a
Volume
;
but
I
will
therefore
reckon
these
that
follow
as
the
Chief
of
them
.
1.
If
you
please
,
I
pray
you
,
Sir
,
to
call
to
mind
the
rising
of
the
Fifth-Monarchy-men
on
the
6th
of
Jan.
1660/1.
Who
drew
in
those
men
to
that
foolish
and
wicked
Attempt
but
your
old
Acquaintance
Dr.
Goff
,
and
Strange
the
Jesuite
,
and
Gray
,
and
another
Jesuite
that
went
by
the
name
of
St.
George
,
and
Ashby
,
that
was
afterwards
Rector
at
St.
Omer's
,
who
counterfeited
themselves
Fifth
Monarchy-men
?
For
an
Uncle
of
mine
,
one
Mr.
Thomas
Buttivant
,
was
engag'd
with
them
,
and
had
been
in
the
Rising
,
if
the
Three
hundred
Horse
had
come
they
promised
should
joyn
Fifteen
hundred
Foot
;
and
this
Buttivant
was
to
have
been
Commander
in
chief
of
the
Horse
:
He
was
so
intimately
acquainted
with
this
Gray
,
that
they
called
Brothers
;
this
Gray
I
having
seen
so
often
with
that
Uncle
of
mine
,
that
when
I
came
to
be
acquainted
with
the
Jesuits
,
notwithstanding
it
was
so
many
years
after
,
I
found
this
Gray
to
be
a
Jesuite
,
who
had
pretended
to
Fifth
Monarchy
Principles
;
and
renewing
my
acquaintance
with
him
,
he
told
me
,
That
he
,
and
Strange
,
and
others
of
the
Society
with
this
Goff
,
used
to
preach
to
them
in
Swan-Alley
in
Coleman-street
,
and
at
Mr.
Buttivant's
House
in
Cobb's
Yard
in
Petticoat-lane
,
and
that
they
had
drawn
in
several
of
those
poor
Dogs
,
as
they
termed
them
,
to
be
hang'd
,
but
they
themselves
were
protected
by
you
at
St.
James's
,
and
in
Whitehall
;
and
't
is
true
,
that
Gray
had
the
Fifth-Monarchy
Notions
to
a
Hairs-breadth
.
In
this
Affair
the
Society
were
at
some
Hundreds
of
pounds
charge
,
for
they
were
liberal
of
their
Mony
,
and
possessed
these
poor
Creatures
of
your
Brother's
and
your
being
Papists
,
and
that
your
design
was
to
destroy
the
Interest
of
Christ
in
the
three
Nations
,
and
to
set
up
Popery
and
Slavery
,
and
so
drew
them
into
that
Folly
of
Rising
,
and
all
with
this
intent
,
that
they
might
obtain
some
severe
Laws
against
the
Protestant
Dissenters
,
in
order
to
weaken
the
Protestant
Interest
within
these
three
Nations
,
and
boasted
very
much
of
your
being
privy
to
the
whole
Design
:
And
,
by
your
Carriage
in
other
Affairs
,
you
will
be
by
all
sober
Protestants
judged
guilty
of
This.
Against
such
strange
Practices
the
poor
Dissenters
did
at
that
time
,
in
their
Addresses
and
Declarations
to
the
Government
,
positively
,
without
any
Equivocation
or
Mental
Reservation
,
declare
and
protest
their
abhorrence
,
and
disavowed
all
such
Principles
as
might
tend
to
such
irregular
and
disorderly
Practises
,
as
tending
highly
to
the
dishonour
of
GOD
and
the
Protestant
Religion
;
yet
you
and
your
Jesuites
and
Priests
made
great
use
of
this
,
to
beget
a
disesteem
of
them
in
the
future
Parliament
.
2.
Another
Conspiracy
was
formed
and
contrived
by
you
and
your
Banditti
,
against
Protestants
,
and
this
was
in
November
1661.
A
doubty
Knight
of
your
Friendship
forged
several
Letters
from
several
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
about
Worcestershire
,
and
several
other
Counties
;
and
in
conjunction
with
this
Villain
several
Jesuites
acted
,
amongst
whom
was
Father
Fitz
Patrick
and
Father
Peter
Talbot
,
afterwards
the
pretended
Archbishop
of
Dublin
,
and
old
Courtney
;
all
of
these
were
employ'd
by
your self
,
as
I
have
seen
in
several
Letters
,
wherein
they
complained
of
your
delaying
their
being
satisfied
for
that
Service
:
But
the
Intrigue
did
not
hold
Water
,
tho'
several
honest
men
suffer'd
Imprisonment
for
the
same
.
But
the
Forgers
and
Framers
of
this
Hellish
Conspiracy
in
this
pretended
Plot
had
an
aim
at
the
rewarding
Mr.
Baxter
for
the
great
Service
he
did
in
your
Brother's
Restauration
and
yours
.
3.
Another
of
the
same
nature
was
invented
by
your
Conspirators
in
Oxford
,
wherein
the
Names
of
several
men
of
note
and
value
,
to
the
number
of
above
a
Hundred
,
whose
Lives
were
design'd
to
have
been
made
Sacrifices
to
Hell
and
Rome
;
but
neither
did
that
Cheat
take
any
other
effect
than
to
continue
the
then
Parliament
exasperated
against
poor
Protestant
Dissenters
,
as
men
of
restless
Spirits
,
that
were
always
disturbing
the
Government
.
So
that
by
these
Artifices
you
did
not
only
find
a
way
to
throw
them
out
of
their
Livings
,
but
endanger'd
their
Lives
also
.
4.
Your
Priests
and
Jesuites
not
making
their
Sham-Plots
to
hold
upon
the
Dissenters
,
your
Conspirators
try
what
they
could
do
with
two
Pillars
of
the
Church
of
England
,
one
Hill
and
Riggs
,
both
highly
carress'd
by
three
special
Guardians
of
the
Church
of
England's
Interest
,
that
is
,
old
Cosens
,
old
Hinchman
,
and
Sheldon
,
three
of
the
Devil's
Brokers
.
These
two
Villains
Hill
and
Riggs
,
both
Parsons
,
they
pretend
to
discover
a
Fanatick
Plot
,
as
they
call'd
it
,
against
the
King's
,
Yours
,
and
old
Monk's
and
Turncoat
Brown's
Lives
,
and
this
Plot
was
sworn
against
several
Honest
Men
,
for
which
some
lost
their
Lives
;
the
one
got
a
preferment
to
a
Living
,
and
the
other
was
preferred
to
eat
Salt
Beef
and
Pork
and
Pease
at
Sea
,
and
sometimes
he
acted
as
a
Chaplain
in
a
Ship
,
with
great
Promises
of
being
preferred
,
but
God
cut
him
off
,
whilst
Hill
slept
in
a
Pocky
Skin
.
Now
,
Sir
,
to
lay
open
to
you
and
the
whole
World
the
truth
of
this
matter
,
I
pray
observe
,
that
this
Hill
and
this
Riggs
were
in
your
Pay
,
to
be
Spies
upon
the
Conversations
of
several
Honest
men
,
as
Butler
and
Seely
was
afterwards
in
your
Brothers
for
the
same
purpose
;
Riggs
and
Hill
gets
into
the
Company
of
several
Dissenters
,
and
in
their
hearing
did
talk
at
a
strange
rate
against
the
Government
,
and
what
a
secret
Cabal
there
was
meeting
in
London
for
the
change
of
the
same
;
and
how
that
the
King
your
Brother
and
your self
were
for
introducing
Popery
and
Slavery
.
But
to
prevent
your
Attempts
of
that
sort
,
the
said
Riggs
and
Hill
told
them
,
That
Arms
and
Ammunition
were
provided
,
and
that
a
number
of
honest
men
were
left
to
rise
,
and
defend
the
true
Religion
,
Laws
,
and
Liberties
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
that
Deale
Castle
and
Windsor
Castle
were
to
be
surprized
.
This
sort
of
Talk
they
had
with
some
few
honest
men
,
who
in
the
Integrity
of
their
Hearts
confessed
,
that
they
heard
Hill
and
Riggs
talk
at
this
rate
.
Nay
,
these
Devils
could
not
deny
,
but
that
they
did
use
this
sort
of
talk
,
and
intimated
that
they
had
a
License
so
to
do
.
Notwithstanding
these
poor
Creatures
denied
that
ever
they
had
any
hand
in
any
such
Conspiracy
,
nor
indeed
was
any
thing
proved
,
but
what
Hill
and
Riggs
swore
they
had
talk'd
to
them
,
yet
they
were
condemn'd
and
basely
murder'd
,
and
their
Families
ruin'd
by
your
procurement
,
and
Hill
and
Riggs
escaped
with
Impunity
,
tho'
not
without
Infamy
.
Your
Jesuites
would
have
courted
them
both
to
the
Church
of
Rome
;
but
they
appearing
to
be
such
Rogues
,
they
were
afraid
they
would
be
a
Disgrace
to
them
,
who
from
their
rising
up
in
the
World
had
themselves
been
a
Scandal
and
Disgrace
to
the
Creation
of
God
.
5.
You
having
some
Success
in
this
,
your
Conspirators
would
not
be
idle
,
but
drew
in
some
warm
Men
into
another
Conspiracy
in
the
North.
The
then
Sheriff
of
the
County
of
York
,
and
a
great
man
whose
Name
I
will
omit
,
because
he
did
in
part
afterwards
make
England
some
amends
for
that
piece
of
Villany
,
you
know
,
at
that
time
,
to
please
the
Court
,
he
was
reconciled
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
no
doubt
,
whilst
so
,
he
was
a
fit
Tool
to
carry
on
so
wicked
a
Design
,
which
was
to
discourse
of
the
Oppression
the
Nation
lay
under
thro'
the
Duties
of
Excise
,
&c.
and
the
disturbance
that
the
Lawyers
had
made
in
the
Kingdom
;
That
your
Brother
and
you
were
bringing
in
of
Popery
and
Slavery
,
at
which
these
poor
Creatures
were
enflam'd
;
and
being
promis'd
the
supply
of
Mony
,
and
by
the
High
Sheriff
the
Assistance
of
Posse
Comitatus
,
they
were
drawn
in
to
engage
:
But
alas
,
it
was
but
a
Trappan
,
they
were
taken
and
executed
upon
the
Evidence
of
some
of
them
that
were
engaged
with
them
;
but
how
you
rewarded
that
Person
of
Quality
afterwards
it
is
well-enough
known
.
This
was
another
of
your
Projects
,
as
the
Person
of
Quality
you
employed
hath
told
to
several
Friends
with
great
Grief
,
some
of
whom
are
alive
to
this
day
.
But
not
to
forget
one
passage
,
let
me
tell
you
,
that
you
and
your
Conspirators
made
at
the
Tryal
of
Mr.
Alured
two
Witnesses
of
one
Man
;
first
he
appear'd
in
a
strange
disguise
,
with
one
Eye
,
and
gave
his
Testimony
under
one
Name
,
and
then
withdrew
,
and
appear'd
in
his
common
Dress
,
and
gave
his
testimony
by
his
own
Name
,
and
so
Alured
was
murder'd
by
the
Conspirators
.
This
can
be
prov'd
by
good
testimony
.
6.
I
will
give
you
a
short
Truth
of
the
Fire
of
London
,
how
that
Eight
Men
were
executed
for
having
a
design
to
fire
the
City
of
London
on
the
third
of
September
1666.
And
great
care
was
taken
to
lay
it
upon
the
Fifth-Monarchy-Men
,
and
the
old
Officers
of
the
Army
that
served
under
the
Parliament
,
but
in
truth
it
was
contrived
by
your self
and
your
wicked
Popish
Party
,
and
by
you
and
them
carried
on
to
destroy
that
great
Protestant
City
,
that
with
more
ease
you
and
your
Accomplices
might
introduce
Popery
and
Slavery
among
us
;
for
London
was
the
Bulwark
of
the
Protestant
Religion
and
English
Liberties
,
and
therefore
she
must
be
made
a
Burnt-Offering
to
your self
and
Hellish
Popish
Crew
.
7.
Another
Instance
of
your
Conspirators
shamming
their
Plots
upon
poor
innocent
Protestants
,
and
that
is
the
Case
of
the
Lord
Claypool
,
and
by
this
cast
an
Odium
upon
the
whole
body
of
Protestant
Dissenters
:
For
in
the
Month
of
August
,
just
about
the
time
that
your
Conspirators
were
to
execute
their
wicked
Design
to
destroy
the
King
,
then
you
deal
with
Secretary
Coventry
,
to
clap
up
that
poor
innocent
Gentleman
,
for
designing
to
seize
the
King
as
he
went
to
Newmarket
;
and
you
had
two
Witnesses
ready
at
hand
to
have
sworn
that
Design
against
him
the
said
Claypool
,
who
was
by
the
Secretary's
Warrant
arrested
for
High
Treason
:
But
he
the
said
Claypool
knowing
nothing
of
the
matter
,
demanded
to
know
his
Accusers
;
that
was
(
according
to
that
Villain
's
usual
way
)
deny'd
him
,
and
he
frown'd
upon
as
if
he
had
been
the
greatest
Knave
in
England
next
to
Coventry
himself
.
Claypool
was
as
stout
as
that
Knave
of
a
Secretary
was
proud
and
insolent
;
and
as
for
Claypool
,
he
would
scarce
answer
any
Question
,
so
away
he
was
sent
to
the
Tower
a
close
Prisoner
.
This
startled
every
one
except
the
Conspirators
and
my self
,
who
was
privy
to
the
whole
business
,
by
the
repeated
Orders
Coleman
receiv'd
from
,
Sir
,
your self
,
for
his
Prosecution
,
that
when
the
Blow
was
given
upon
the
King
,
it
might
be
charg'd
upon
the
Fanaticks
:
And
to
that
end
Sing
and
Throgmorton
,
two
virulent
Papists
,
and
Butler
and
Seely
,
two
Popish
Spies
of
your
Brother's
and
yours
,
both
pretended
Fanaticks
,
the
last
,
I
think
,
is
a
Cornish
man
,
and
was
a
Major
in
the
late
Protector
's
Army
;
so
that
you
and
all
your
Popish
Conspirators
intended
as
one
Man
to
revenge
the
Death
of
the
King
on
the
Dissenting
Party
,
concluding
that
the
Vermin
of
the
Church
of
England
would
strike
in
with
the
Popish
Party
,
since
they
hated
a
Dissenter
worse
than
a
Papist
,
tho'
differing
from
them
only
in
a
few
scoundrel
Ceremonies
not
worthy
to
wipe
a
Porter's
Tail
withal
:
Therefore
,
as
a
Prologue
to
that
cursed
Design
,
you
could
not
think
of
a
man
fitter
than
this
Lord
Claypool
,
he
being
Son-in-Law
to
that
Lord
Protector
Cromwell
;
but
you
and
your
Villains
were
disappointed
for
a
time
from
destroying
the
King
,
for
when
the
true
Plot
was
discover'd
,
your
devilish
Witnesses
against
the
Protestant
Party
disappear'd
.
And
so
much
for
Claypool
.
8.
Another
Instance
of
your
implacable
Hatred
to
the
Protestants
,
and
of
your
designing
to
sham
a
Plot
upon
them
,
was
your
old
and
very
good
Friend
Mr.
Thomas
Blood
,
whom
you
and
your
Brother
set
upon
my self
,
to
bring
me
into
a
Conspiracy
with
Richard
late
Lord
Protector
,
and
him
the
said
Blood
,
to
dethrone
your
Brother
and
your self
;
which
,
Sir
,
was
a
great
mistake
,
for
your
Crimes
were
so
plain
and
notorious
,
that
an
honest
man
would
have
thought
the
Laws
of
the
Land
and
publick
Justice
would
have
reach'd
you
both
without
such
irregular
Methods
as
these
were
;
but
I
discover'd
the
Letter
,
and
the
Trappan
escap'd
for
a
while
,
and
then
God
cut
him
off
with
Infamy
and
Disgrace
.
9.
I
must
entreat
your
patience
to
remember
another
Instance
,
and
that
is
the
particular
Case
of
Mr.
Thomas
Dangerfield
,
who
was
maintained
by
you
and
your
Conspirators
with
Twelve
pounds
per
week
,
to
invent
a
Plot
against
the
Protestants
,
the
better
to
colour
or
hide
your
own
.
What
Papers
you
and
the
rest
of
your
Conspirators
contrived
to
be
put
upon
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
!
The
Gentleman
of
his
Horse
was
Mansfield
,
and
he
was
prepared
to
be
a
second
Witness
against
the
said
Duke
,
as
Dangerfield
was
suborned
to
be
the
first
,
so
that
you
might
have
the
Blood
of
that
great
man
,
as
being
one
in
a
Conspiracy
to
destroy
the
King
your
Brother
.
But
Dangerfield
had
not
been
so
mindful
of
his
Lesson
as
he
ought
,
and
fixeth
himself
upon
one
Mansel
,
who
had
been
a
Retainer
to
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
who
at
that
time
was
carried
away
with
the
dissimulation
of
the
Popishly-affected
Party
,
but
instead
of
leaving
them
in
Mansfield's
Chamber
,
left
them
in
Mansel's
Chamber
.
In
these
Papers
there
was
a
List
of
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
that
were
to
be
sworn
against
,
as
being
in
a
Conspiracy
against
the
Life
of
the
King
your
Brother
,
and
your self
,
and
Church
of
England
:
And
,
to
make
the
World
believe
that
these
Papers
were
not
forged
,
this
Dangerfield
repairs
to
Secretary
Coventry
,
your
old
League-breaker
,
and
informs
the
Secretary
(
who
was
privy
to
the
whole
Concern
)
of
a
dangerous
Plot
against
the
Government
,
and
that
there
were
dangerous
Papers
in
the
Chamber
of
Coll.
Mansel
,
that
would
make
the
same
out
:
but
the
fellow
,
tho'
he
had
been
a
Rogue
all
his
days
,
as
God
would
have
it
,
scrupl'd
the
Oath
;
tho'
if
he
had
said
in
Mansfield's
Chamber
,
he
should
have
had
a
Warrant
without
an
Oath
;
but
mentioning
the
Name
of
Mansel
,
the
Secretary
was
startled
,
because
that
Mansel
was
a
Favourite
of
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
against
whom
this
Conspiracy
was
not
at
first
to
appear
,
therefore
Coventry
would
do
nothing
without
an
Oath
in
relation
to
Mansel
,
because
of
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
who
was
then
actually
a
Privy
Councillor
;
therefore
Dangerfield
was
resolv'd
to
have
the
papers
brought
to
light
,
and
therefore
gets
an
Officer
or
Officers
of
the
Customhouse
,
to
search
Mansel's
Chamber
for
prohibited
Goods
,
and
then
these
papers
were
seiz'd
:
And
Mansel
hearing
of
what
was
done
when
he
came
to
his
Lodging
,
and
that
papers
of
dangerous
consequence
was
found
in
his
Chamber
,
behind
his
Beds-head
,
where
he
had
never
laid
any
,
he
immediately
repairs
to
the
Council
,
and
complains
of
his
usage
before
Dangerfield
had
told
his
Story
.
Well
then
,
what
becomes
of
this
Affair
,
so
foolishly
miscarrying
in
its
first
birth
?
I
must
observe
to
you
,
that
Dangerfield
is
called
in
question
;
and
tho'
he
had
many
Friends
in
the
Council
,
and
many
that
knew
the
Design
well
enough
,
yet
the
Blunder
that
Dangerfield
made
was
so
great
,
and
his
Story
hung
so
ill
together
,
that
the
Conspirators
that
were
at
the
Board
began
to
be
confounded
,
and
were
much
dejected
that
their
Tool
had
succeeded
no
better
;
for
,
besides
all
his
self-contradictions
,
shrewd
proofs
were
brought
against
him
:
Yet
notwithstanding
the
aforesaid
blunder
,
and
his
being
so
confronted
with
Major
Richardson
and
others
,
Dangerfield
was
as
bold
as
his
Folly
was
great
,
and
stood
in
it
,
that
the
Papers
taken
in
Mansel's
Lodgings
were
not
put
there
by
him
,
till
at
last
the
proof
of
the
Customhouse
Officer
that
searched
,
and
Dangerfield's
own
words
,
the
Cheat
and
the
Roguery
was
most
manifest
;
so
that
the
Council
,
tho'
many
of
them
your
Conspirators
and
his
intimate
Friends
,
were
of
necessity
obliged
to
commit
him
to
Newgate
,
who
being
there
,
was
still
upheld
by
that
Whore
Cellier
,
and
the
rest
of
your
Conspirators
,
who
had
redeem'd
him
out
of
Newgate
for
this
very
end
and
purpose
,
and
had
forbad
him
to
discover
;
but
some
Letters
being
discover'd
,
and
he
being
out
of
all
hopes
,
made
his
application
to
the
then
Lord
Mayor
to
take
his
discovery
;
which
was
done
,
and
upon
that
Discovery
it
plainly
appear'd
who
set
him
on
work
to
frame
such
a
piece
of
Villany
.
You
were
so
nettl'd
at
the
Discovery
,
that
instead
of
the
Lord
Mayor's
having
Thanks
return'd
him
for
his
Service
to
the
King
and
the
Nation
,
that
he
met
with
a
Check
at
Court
for
meddling
in
that
which
concerned
him
not
.
But
by
this
Trick
the
Earl
of
Essex's
Eyes
were
open'd
,
and
he
fairly
left
you
and
the
Council
,
abhorring
such
Villanies
as
never
was
to
be
parallel'd
in
future
,
nor
heard
of
in
past
Ages
.
Your
Sham-Plot
thus
miscarrying
,
and
the
Book
found
in
the
Meal-Tub
,
shewing
who
they
were
that
was
to
be
sworn
out
of
their
Lives
falsly
,
appearing
,
you
know
,
Sir
,
that
you
were
,
with
your
Accomplices
,
at
a
stand
;
for
,
Sir
,
you
know
that
this
Villany
,
if
it
had
been
placed
with
Mansfield
,
the
Duke
of
Buckingham's
Servant
,
who
was
to
have
been
a
second
Witness
with
Dangerfield
,
and
both
these
to
have
been
corroborated
by
Blood
,
Butler
,
and
Seely
,
you
would
have
cut
off
,
by
a
Form
of
Justice
,
all
such
persons
as
had
stood
in
opposition
to
your
wicked
Designs
and
Practices
;
so
that
a
new
Parliament
should
have
been
open'd
with
the
noise
of
a
Presbyterian
Plot
,
therefore
you
know
the
Parliament
was
prorogued
for
a
longer
time
,
and
your self
forced
to
part
with
a
small
Spell
to
get
this
thing
done
,
and
the
French
King
pressed
for
a
bigger
Seame
,
which
was
happily
prevented
by
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
.
10.
I
must
beg
your
Pardon
if
I
put
you
in
mind
of
another
piece
of
Roguery
your
restless
Conspirators
undertook
;
For
a
new
Parliament
being
to
meet
at
Oxford
,
in
the
year
1680/1
,
they
were
resolved
to
welcom
that
Parliament
with
a
Protestant
Plot
in
good
earnest
,
to
the
end
with
more
ease
you
might
bring
your
cursed
Designs
to
pass
.
In
order
to
this
,
it
was
agreed
by
your
Crew
,
that
Papers
containing
Treasonable
Matters
should
be
got
to
be
written
,
and
lodg'd
in
the
Houses
of
private
men
,
and
shuffled
into
Gentlemen's
Pockets
at
Oxford
,
and
before
the
meeting
of
the
Parliament
they
should
be
seiz'd
with
such
Papers
about
them
;
and
one
Fitz-Harris
,
who
was
to
be
their
Tool
,
was
well
acquainted
with
one
Everard
,
that
was
a
Villain
much
of
the
said
Fitz-Harris's
stature
or
standard
;
for
it
was
a
hard
matter
to
know
which
was
the
greatest
of
the
two
.
This
Everard
had
been
countenanc'd
by
the
Earl
of
Shaftsbury
,
and
therefore
the
said
Everard
was
judg'd
the
most
fit
to
joyn
with
him
in
the
Roguery
:
And
Everard
had
agreed
with
this
Fitz-Harris
to
be
seized
with
these
Papers
about
him
,
when
they
had
dispersed
as
many
of
them
as
would
do
the
business
;
but
those
that
employ'd
these
Rascals
in
this
affair
were
such
,
that
it
would
●ill
an
Englishman
with
Confusion
to
name
them
.
Fitz-Harris
had
his
Instructions
from
your
Brother
and
Portsmouth
,
and
when
Access
could
not
be
had
to
them
,
then
they
received
them
from
Nell
Wall
,
a
notorious
Whore
,
that
from
a
poor
Wench
that
washed
down
the
Stairs
,
was
made
her
Mistresses
Woman
,
and
privy
to
the
whole
Intrigue
.
The
Writing
was
drawn
up
,
and
much
approved
by
the
King
your
Brother
and
the
Dutchess
,
and
their
Approbation
signified
to
this
Fitz-Harris
by
this
Whore
Nell
Wall
,
and
the
same
told
to
this
Everard
by
Fitz-Harris
;
but
no
Mony
considerable
appearing
,
unless
it
were
one
Thirty
pound
,
Everard
discovers
this
Intrigue
to
one
Smith
,
commonly
call'd
Narrative
Smith
,
and
Sir
William
Waller
.
They
are
planted
in
a
secret
Room
,
where
they
might
not
only
hear
,
but
see
the
Transactions
between
Everard
and
this
Fitz-Harris
;
so
that
Fitz-Harris
was
apprehended
and
committed
upon
Everard's
Testimony
,
and
Try'd
and
Condemn'd
upon
the
Testmony
of
Smith
,
and
Waller
,
and
Everard
,
and
fairly
Hang'd
,
that
he
might
not
tell
Tales
.
So
Shaftsbury
and
several
others
escaped
that
one
time
from
being
made
a
Sacrifice
to
your
Will
and
Pleasure
.
The
Story
,
Sir
,
is
too
long
to
be
fully
repeated
,
but
when
any
of
your
Cursed
Crew
shall
Answer
this
,
I
shall
tell
the
whole
Story
at
length
;
but
this
shall
suffice
for
this
Particular
.
11.
Be
pleas'd
to
remember
how
many
Irish
men
were
suborned
to
swear
against
the
Life
of
the
said
Earl
of
Shaftsbury
,
and
how
diligent
your
Conspirators
were
to
suborn
others
that
were
of
the
same
stamp
for
Roguery
and
Villany
;
but
God
,
by
the
Industry
and
Care
of
his
Friends
,
deliver'd
him
;
and
what
these
Villains
swore
against
him
was
so
inconsistent
with
either
the
Principles
or
declared
Judgment
of
that
Noble
Lord
,
and
the
Particulars
of
their
Testimony
so
contradictory
one
to
the
other
,
that
the
Grand
Jury
would
not
return
a
billa
ver
a
upon
the
Testimony
of
these
Rogues
,
tho'
the
Court
used
all
the
indirect
methods
with
that
Jury
to
have
the
Bill
found
.
12.
Sir
,
I
must
deal
plainly
with
you
and
your
Tribe
,
that
my
Heart
is
ready
to
bleed
when
I
must
name
to
you
the
Murther
of
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
whose
Throat
you
procured
to
be
cut
that
very
Morning
,
that
a
Way
might
be
made
for
the
Horrible
Murther
of
the
Lord
Russel
,
who
was
by
your
means
basely
murder'd
by
a
Form
of
Law
;
and
the
great
Collonel
Sidney
,
what
Juries
of
Common
Rogues
and
Villains
were
pack'd
upon
them
by
the
contrivance
of
murdering
Rich
and
North
,
your
two
pretended
Sheriffs
of
London
and
Middlesex
,
Fellows
that
valued
not
the
Blood
of
a
Protestant
,
but
rejoyced
that
they
had
made
you
and
your
Conspirators
drunk
with
their
Blood
!
I
must
not
forget
poor
Stephen
Colledge
,
who
was
basely
murder'd
at
Oxford
by
a
Sett
of
wicked
Judges
,
and
a
Pack'd
Jury
,
at
Oxford
,
whose
Blood
cries
to
Heaven
for
Vengeance
against
you
and
your
Cut-throat
Party
.
We
have
a
Cloud
of
Instances
against
you
and
your
Party
of
your
suborning
Witnesses
against
Mr.
Colt
,
Mr.
Arnold
,
Sir
Samuel
Barnadiston
,
Mr.
Covet
,
Mr.
Culliford
,
Mr.
Braddon
,
Mr.
Johnson
,
Sir
Thomas
Pilkington
,
and
Mr.
Hampden
,
my self
and
others
;
what
a
long
and
tedious
Imprisonment
we
all
suffer'd
through
the
Testimony
of
your
suborned
and
perjur'd
Witnesses
.
But
this
may
suffice
for
this
second
Particular
,
how
you
and
your
Conspirators
,
from
the
very
time
of
your
being
restor'd
to
your
Native
Country
,
which
was
in
the
year
1660
,
to
the
year
1685
,
that
you
took
the
Crown
.
III.
A
third
Project
that
you
and
your
Popish
Crew
had
on
foot
was
,
to
ruine
our
Trade
.
It
was
not
enough
that
you
fired
our
Cities
,
and
abused
the
Professors
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
by
the
many
Murders
that
were
by
you
and
your
Party
committed
,
by
the
help
of
your
Mercenary
Judges
and
Hackney
Jury-men
,
but
you
also
labour'd
heartily
to
disturb
the
Trade
of
the
Nation
,
that
you
might
with
more
ease
enslave
it
,
and
bring
in
Popery
upon
us
.
I
will
but
give
you
only
one
or
two
Instances
;
Many
might
be
given
,
to
your
Shame
,
and
the
Shame
of
your
Party
,
if
there
was
any
such
thing
remaining
with
you
.
1.
The
first
Instance
I
shall
give
you
is
the
countenancing
the
French
King
to
take
so
many
of
our
Merchants
Ships
by
his
Pyrates
and
Rovers
in
our
Seas
;
and
several
Letters
were
written
by
your
Secretary
Mr.
Coleman
,
to
Sir
Ellys
Leyton
,
wherein
several
Merchantmen
,
whose
Owners
and
Merchants
had
been
obnoxious
to
you
or
your
Party
,
by
opposing
Popery
and
Slavery
;
he
was
by
your
especial
Order
to
see
their
Ships
and
Goods
condemned
,
to
the
utter
undoing
of
several
Families
.
And
your
Servant
Coleman
,
when
any
thing
of
a
Tradesman
was
mentioned
,
he
used
to
say
,
Damn
them
,
they
are
a
sort
of
Fanaticks
that
have
no
Kindness
for
my
Master
,
or
our
Religion
,
and
it
will
be
never
well
till
we
make
them
poor
,
then
they
will
be
brought
to
obey
.
Nay
,
Sir
,
this
was
your
Language
too
,
or
else
you
would
never
have
been
so
much
of
the
Opinion
of
the
French
King
,
your
most
Christian
Brother
.
2.
A
second
Instance
is
taken
from
the
Letters
that
were
written
to
the
Rector
of
St.
Omers
,
Richard
Ashby
,
from
Thomas
White
and
John
Keines
,
and
others
of
the
Society
in
London
,
in
which
Letters
from
them
and
others
were
enclosed
Letters
to
Thomas
Stapletoa
,
then
Procurator
at
Bruxels
,
to
perswade
the
Father
Confessor
of
Duke
de
Villa
Hermosa
,
then
Governor
of
the
Spanish
Netherlands
,
to
inform
him
the
said
Duke
,
That
the
King
your
Brother
did
not
intend
to
assist
the
King
of
Spain
,
but
would
stand
a
looker
on
till
he
was
ruin'd
by
the
French
King
.
Which
Letter
being
not
sealed
,
I
saw
it
;
and
that
in
case
the
Father
Confessor
to
the
said
Governor
should
not
be
ready
to
comply
with
the
said
Stapleton
,
that
Messengers
should
be
forthwith
sent
to
Father
Swiman
at
Madrid
,
to
inform
the
King
of
Spain
of
the
said
Concern
,
and
to
make
the
same
relation
of
the
business
to
the
Popish
Archbishop
of
Tuam
,
of
the
Kingdom
of
Ireland
,
who
was
then
at
the
Court
at
Madrid
,
that
he
the
said
Swiman
and
the
said
Titular
Archbishop
,
might
jointly
give
an
account
of
the
Motion
made
or
to
be
made
to
the
said
Father
Confessor
of
Duke
de
Villa
Hermosa
,
and
also
to
advise
the
Spanish
King
to
seize
the
Estates
of
the
English
Merchants
in
their
several
Factories
in
his
Dominions
,
for
that
they
had
endeavour'd
to
transport
their
Estates
,
and
did
transport
them
to
England
,
and
all
,
or
most
part
,
in
the
Coin
of
Spain
,
to
the
great
Prejudice
of
the
Kingdom
of
Spain
.
And
for
the
confirmation
thereof
,
they
procur'd
Letters
from
one
Fonseca
,
sometimes
an
Agent
in
London
,
to
attest
the
same
,
this
Fonseca
willingly
complying
with
your
Conspirators
,
and
sent
his
Letter
to
St.
Omer's
,
that
the
Fathers
there
might
give
their
Approbation
to
the
said
Letter
,
in
order
to
be
sent
to
the
Court
of
Spain
;
which
Letter
was
long
and
large
,
Attestations
therein
made
against
the
Merchants
of
the
several
Factories
concerning
the
Matter
of
Fact
before
mentioned
,
and
other
Letters
were
dispatch'd
to
Daniel
Armstrong
at
Valladolyd
,
and
John
Cross
then
at
Madrid
,
in
which
they
were
order'd
to
confirm
this
Attestation
made
or
to
be
made
by
the
Fathers
in
England
,
and
of
the
English
Seminary
at
St.
Omer's
,
and
of
the
said
Stapleton
,
together
with
that
of
the
said
Fonseca
,
the
abovenamed
Spanish
Agent
,
who
then
lived
at
Bruges
in
Flanders
.
Therefore
,
1.
In
this
Villanous
Contrivance
to
disturb
the
Nation
in
the
Spanish
Trade
,
your
Servant
Coleman
was
very
active
in
your
Name
,
and
on
your
behalf
,
and
engaged
that
your
Letter
to
Villa
Hermosa
should
be
procured
.
2.
It
is
well
known
that
your
Brother
and
your self
were
so
engag'd
with
the
French
King
that
it
was
all
one
to
you
what
became
of
the
King
of
Spain's
Concerns
in
Flanders
;
but
you
were
both
grieved
to
see
the
English
Nation
enrich'd
with
the
Trade
it
had
with
Spain
;
for
,
during
the
time
of
the
Riches
and
Plenty
of
England
,
it
would
be
very
difficult
for
you
and
your
Conspirators
to
bring
in
Popery
and
Slavery
upon
us
.
3.
What
Agents
you
make
use
of
to
carry
on
this
Wicked
Design
to
ruine
Trade
!
Even
Fonseca
,
that
hated
the
English
Nation
,
and
much
envied
her
Greatness
,
and
that
she
might
be
in
a
condition
to
be
brought
under
the
French
Yoke
,
you
tamper
with
him
,
that
tho'
a
Spaniard
by
Nation
,
yet
he
was
wholly
in
the
French
Interest
.
3.
A
third
Instance
that
I
shall
remember
you
of
,
by
which
you
intended
to
ruine
our
Trade
,
and
that
was
in
the
adulterating
,
debasing
and
clipping
the
Coin
of
this
Kingdom
.
It
may
be
said
by
you
and
your
Partisans
,
That
it
is
very
hard
you
should
be
charged
with
this
vile
Act
;
but
,
Sir
,
it
can
be
prov'd
,
that
the
Merchants
,
Goldsmiths
,
Brokers
,
Bankers
,
and
the
other
Traders
that
the
Jesuites
dealt
with
,
all
was
by
your
Advice
and
Direction
,
and
that
your
Servant
Coleman
had
in
your
Name
promised
them
the
management
of
the
Mint
:
So
that
your
Conspirators
were
to
be
the
Judges
of
good
and
bad
Mony
,
and
were
to
manage
the
same
to
the
best
advantage
for
your
Cause
,
and
several
Materials
for
Coining
was
provided
by
Smith
your
Agent
,
and
lodged
at
Mr.
Longhorn's
Chambers
in
the
Temple
.
And
this
,
Sir
,
I
must
observe
to
you
for
publick
Good
,
that
there
hath
been
few
or
none
that
ever
hath
been
executed
but
hath
been
of
your
Religion
or
Interest
.
That
our
Mony
hath
been
abused
is
notorious
.
And
all
this
you
did
in
order
to
impoverish
the
Kingdom
,
and
destroy
its
Trade
.
4.
A
fourth
Instance
of
you
and
your
Traytors
to
disturb
the
Trade
of
the
Kingdom
,
was
the
Fire
of
London
.
I
have
treated
of
that
already
.
As
it
was
the
Habitation
for
several
Thousands
of
good
Protestants
,
that
stood
in
opposition
to
Popery
and
Slavery
;
and
as
by
the
destroying
this
City
you
endeavoured
to
weaken
the
Protestant
Interest
,
so
now
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
it
was
with
this
design
,
to
ruine
the
Trade
of
the
Nation
;
for
you
know
,
that
London
was
the
Metropolis
and
Fountain
of
Trade
,
and
when
she
was
destroy'd
you
could
not
but
conclude
,
that
the
Trade
must
be
disturbed
(
with
which
the
other
parts
of
the
Kingdom
were
made
happy
)
through
the
great
devastation
that
the
Fire
,
that
was
carried
on
by
your
Wicked
Instruments
,
had
made
.
IV.
A
fourth
Project
that
you
had
to
accomplish
your
Wicked
Designs
,
was
the
Attempt
of
maintaining
of
a
standing
Army
,
contrary
to
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
England
in
the
times
of
Peace
,
and
labour'd
that
point
much
with
the
King
your
Brother
,
to
lay
down
the
legal
Force
of
this
Kingdom
(
viz.
the
Militia
)
as
useless
to
the
Government
;
and
therefore
you
and
your
Party
advis'd
him
to
lay
them
down
,
and
to
have
Forces
in
every
County
under
Pay
,
and
they
were
to
be
your
Conservators
of
the
Peace
.
And
,
Sir
,
had
the
Revenue
of
the
Crown
been
able
to
have
born
the
Charge
,
you
your self
projected
a
standing
Army
,
to
keep
the
People
in
due
Obedience
.
Now
,
what
that
due
Obedience
was
,
I
shall
not
need
to
explain
to
you
,
for
it
was
a
standing
Army
alamode
de
France
;
nay
,
they
were
to
have
the
Power
of
the
Civil
Watch
in
the
Night
,
which
you
said
would
excuse
many
ancient
useless
Men
from
that
Service
.
And
for
the
accomplishment
of
your
wicked
Enterprize
,
you
advis'd
,
that
the
greater
part
of
the
Army
should
consist
of
French
and
Irish
,
and
that
the
Officers
of
this
Army
should
consist
of
as
many
Roman
Catholicks
as
could
well
be
gotten
to
serve
in
that
Army
,
and
you
had
several
of
that
sort
of
Cattel
that
you
kept
in
half-pay
,
in
readiness
whenever
your
Brother
should
have
agreed
to
your
Advice
.
It
was
not
for
want
of
Good
will
,
but
for
want
of
Mony
,
that
your
Design
did
not
then
take
.
5.
A
fifth
Project
that
you
had
on
foot
to
enslave
the
Nation
,
and
that
was
,
the
advising
and
contriving
with
your
damnable
Conspirators
the
seizure
of
the
Charters
,
Franchises
,
and
Liberties
of
the
Cities
,
Towns
,
and
ancient
Corporations
of
the
Kingdom
.
It
was
,
Sir
,
your self
and
your
Conspirators
that
invaded
the
Privileges
,
and
seized
on
the
Charters
of
most
of
the
Towns
that
had
a
Right
to
be
represented
by
their
Burgesses
in
Parliament
,
and
by
over
awing
some
of
them
,
you
procur'd
Surrenders
of
them
to
be
made
to
the
King
your
Brother
,
by
which
the
Magistrates
deliver'd
up
all
their
Rights
and
Privileges
,
to
be
dispos'd
of
at
his
pleasure
,
and
the
pleasure
of
your self
and
Conspirators
.
Upon
this
you
procur'd
new
Magistrates
to
be
placed
in
those
Places
as
would
carry
on
your
wicked
designs
and
purposes
of
advancing
Popery
and
Slavery
.
6.
It
was
your
Advice
,
together
with
your
Conspirators
,
that
put
the
late
King
your
Brother
to
turn
out
of
the
Commission
of
the
Peace
and
the
Lieutenancy
of
the
Counties
,
all
such
who
had
been
zealous
for
the
defence
of
the
Protestant
Religion
and
Liberty
,
and
had
appear'd
vigorously
against
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Power
,
as
persons
disaffected
to
the
Government
both
in
Church
and
State
,
and
represented
them
as
Fanaticks
,
and
Favourers
of
such
;
by
which
means
you
got
in
Men
of
Villanous
Morals
,
and
such
heartily
joyned
in
with
your
Conspirators
,
to
ruine
the
Protestant
Interest
,
and
to
overthrow
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
England
.
This
was
done
in
the
year
1679.
7.
Notwithstanding
some
of
your
Conspirators
represented
you
as
a
person
whose
Judgment
was
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
yet
because
the
Protestant
Dissenters
appear'd
earnestly
in
the
asserting
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
England
,
and
gave
Countenance
to
the
Discovery
of
the
Popish
Plot
to
,
King
Charles
your
Brother
,
who
was
in
it
in
every
part
and
particular
thereof
,
excepting
that
of
his
own
Murther
;
you
and
your
Conspirators
stirred
up
that
King
to
raise
a
terrible
Persecution
against
those
men
,
by
which
means
you
were
the
ruine
of
some
Thousands
of
Families
,
who
by
the
severity
of
the
said
Persecution
were
reduced
almost
to
Beggery
,
or
to
live
upon
the
Charity
of
Friends
.
Some
were
forced
to
fly
the
Nation
,
and
yet
were
more
loyal
under
their
Pressures
and
Provocations
than
your
Cut-throat
Papists
were
under
their
then
Caresses
and
Favours
received
from
your
Brother
and
your self
.
Nay
,
a
reverend
Minister
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
who
had
been
very
instrumental
in
your
Restauration
,
yea
,
and
ventur'd
his
Life
for
your
Brother's
Restauration
,
in
the
year
1650
,
you
suffer'd
to
perish
in
Newgate
,
as
a
Reward
for
so
great
a
piece
of
Service
to
your
Brother
and
your self
and
Family
;
and
for
no
other
reason
,
but
because
he
could
not
comply
with
some
Rascally
Ceremonies
that
our
Ecclesiastical
Vermin
had
borrow'd
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
to
Adorn
our
Protestant
Worship
,
and
because
he
would
not
take
the
Oxford
Oath
,
lay'd
upon
the
Nation
to
enslave
it
.
8.
Another
Project
you
had
for
the
ruining
the
Interest
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
Interest
of
England
,
was
the
Advancing
of
Men
that
were
Enemies
to
the
Protestant
Interest
into
the
greatest
Places
of
Trust
.
As
,
What
a
Sett
of
Villains
had
you
made
Judges
of
the
Land
,
by
which
means
you
brought
all
the
Matters
of
Civil
Justice
into
great
Uncertainties
,
by
reason
of
the
Tenour
of
their
Commissions
,
and
the
Ignorance
of
the
Rogues
you
employ'd
!
Therefore
how
miserable
was
the
Nation
,
who
were
obliged
to
Answer
to
such
Judges
that
were
forced
to
comply
in
all
things
with
the
Directions
that
were
given
by
you
and
your
Wicked
Cut-throats
,
or
else
to
be
turned
out
at
yours
and
their
Pleasure
?
If
we
look
further
,
you
had
,
in
your
Brother's
time
,
the
disposing
of
all
Military
Employments
;
And
how
you
did
shew
your
Hatred
to
the
Protestant
Religion
and
the
English
Interest
!
You
did
in
his
time
raise
a
great
many
Persons
to
the
greatest
Military
Trusts
both
by
Sea
and
Land
,
Strangers
as
well
as
Natives
;
so
that
by
these
measures
your
Conspirators
became
Masters
of
the
Affairs
of
the
Government
of
the
Nation
,
and
of
the
course
of
Justice
;
and
you
had
all
the
Church
Vermin
engag'd
with
you
to
subject
the
whole
Kingdom
to
a
despotick
Arbitrary
power
;
and
all
these
joyn'd
together
to
execute
your
wicked
Designs
,
to
enslave
and
debauch
the
People
of
the
Land
.
9.
To
compleat
the
Work
,
that
nothing
might
stand
in
your
way
of
Establishing
your
Popish
Religion
,
you
murder'd
your
Brother
,
who
was
uncertain
in
his
Engagements
in
the
Conspiracy
;
for
,
when
he
found
it
was
not
safe
for
him
to
appear
in
promoting
Popery
,
he
soon
left
you
.
Or
if
a
Sum
of
Money
could
be
gotten
from
a
Parliament
,
he
commonly
bless'd
the
Nation
with
a
Proclamation
or
two
against
Popish
Priests
,
Jesuites
,
and
Popish
Recusants
,
or
pass
a
Bill
or
so
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Popish
Party
;
as
he
did
in
1673
,
when
the
Test-Bill
passed
;
as
also
another
in
1678.
This
obliged
you
and
your
Conspirators
to
hasten
his
destruction
,
which
you
had
long
contrived
.
You
found
a
fit
Tool
,
and
as
fit
a
Dose
to
do
the
Work
;
in
it
you
had
your
desired
Ends
,
and
so
you
mounted
the
Throne
.
Which
brings
me
to
the
Second
Point
,
What
you
did
in
order
to
the
Ruine
of
the
Protestant
Religion
and
the
Government
after
your
accession
to
the
Crown
.
II.
Your
Tyranny
was
very
cruel
,
but
short
,
yet
full
of
strange
and
surprising
Circumstances
:
It
was
highly
astonishing
to
see
a
Popish
Prince
ascending
the
Throne
,
to
rule
a
Protestant
Nation
,
and
defend
a
Protestant
Church
;
but
,
Sir
,
you
had
no
such
Designs
in
your
Head
,
for
you
shew'd
what
you
would
do
with
our
Laws
,
when
you
could
engage
your
Conspirators
to
dispense
with
part
of
the
Oaths
that
you
should
have
taken
.
It
is
manifest
and
notorious
,
that
when
you
were
upon
the
coming
to
the
Crown
you
was
receiv'd
by
all
the
People
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
as
King
,
without
the
least
opposition
,
for
our
Ecclesiastical
Vermin
had
made
your
way
clear
by
their
Doctrine
of
Passive
Obedience
and
Non-Resistance
,
and
the
Divine
Right
of
Succession
,
and
the
possibility
of
preserving
the
Glory
and
Grandeur
of
their
Church
of
England
by
a
Popish
Prince
,
and
that
there
was
more
danger
from
Fanaticks
than
from
Papists
,
and
such-like
scoundrel
Notions
.
You
cannot
but
remember
,
that
King
Charles
your
Brother
,
having
received
the
deadly
Dose
your
Conspirators
had
prepar'd
for
him
,
on
February
the
6th
,
1684/5
,
he
went
to
his
Place
;
that
very
day
,
Sir
,
you
were
proclaim'd
King
,
to
the
sorrow
of
all
that
wish'd
well
to
England
,
and
its
Religion
,
Liberties
and
Laws
:
you
then
appear'd
at
the
Council-Table
as
King
,
and
by
all
your
Conspirators
you
was
owned
and
saluted
as
such
,
to
whom
you
were
pleas'd
to
make
a
sort
of
a
Speech
,
in
which
you
were
pleas'd
to
declare
your self
to
this
effect
.
THat
Since
it
hath
pleased
Almighty
God
to
place
you
in
that
station
,
and
that
you
were
now
to
succeed
so
Good
and
Gracious
a
King
,
as
well
as
so
Kind
a
Brother
,
you
thought
it
fit
to
declare
,
That
you
would
follow
his
Example
,
and
more
especially
in
that
of
his
great
Clemency
and
Tenderness
to
all
his
People
:
That
you
had
been
reported
to
have
been
a
man
for
Arbitrary
Power
,
tho'
that
had
not
been
the
only
Story
that
had
been
made
of
you
:
That
you
would
make
it
your
Endeavour
to
preserve
Government
both
in
Church
and
State
,
as
it
was
by
Law
establish'd
:
That
you
knew
the
Principles
of
the
Church
of
England
were
for
Monarchy
,
and
that
the
Members
of
it
had
shewn
themselves
good
and
loyal
Subjects
,
and
therefore
you
would
take
care
to
defend
and
support
it
:
That
you
knew
the
Laws
of
England
were
sufficient
to
make
the
King
as
great
a
Monarch
as
you
could
wish
;
and
therefore
,
as
you
would
never
depart
from
the
Just
Rights
and
Prerogatives
of
the
Crown
,
so
you
would
never
invade
any
Man's
Property
:
And
that
you
had
ventur'd
your
Life
very
often
in
the
defence
of
the
Nation
:
And
that
you
would
go
as
far
as
any
Man
in
preserving
it
in
all
its
Just
Rights
and
Liberties
.
This
,
Sir
,
is
the
sum
and
substance
of
what
you
were
pleas'd
to
say
at
the
Council
board
;
and
one
would
have
sworn
that
you
would
have
taken
up
the
Trade
of
being
Speech
wright-general
to
the
whole
Band
of
your
Conspirators
.
I
am
confident
your
old
Friends
the
Jesuites
,
that
had
been
hang'd
but
a
little
before
,
could
not
have
outdone
you
,
though
it
had
been
to
have
saved
their
Lives
.
Well
,
it
was
a
Speech
,
and
how
true
you
were
to
this
Speech
you
shall
judge
,
and
your
Conspirators
too
,
if
you
will
but
consider
.
1.
You
said
,
You
would
not
invade
any
man's
Right
and
Property
,
and
that
you
would
preserve
the
Nation
in
its
Just
Rights
and
Liberties
.
And
so
you
did
,
for
you
,
the
next
day
after
your
accession
to
the
Crown
,
publish'd
a
Proclamation
for
the
continuing
the
payment
of
the
Custom
and
Excise
,
which
were
expir'd
by
the
death
of
the
King
your
Brother
for
several
weeks
after
.
Did
not
this
shew
you
to
be
a
man
for
Arbitrary
Power
,
to
invade
the
Properties
of
a
great
part
of
the
Subjects
of
England
by
your
Proclamation
;
what
Value
you
had
for
the
Rights
of
the
Nation
,
for
whom
you
had
ventur'd
your
Life
in
a
Coiled
Cable
;
and
what
Regard
you
had
to
its
Laws
,
that
at
your
first
step
in
your
pretended
Government
you
bring
in
a
Proclamation
equivalent
to
those
Laws
that
expir'd
as
aforesaid
,
by
which
the
Excise
and
Customs
in
the
time
of
the
Reign
of
your
kind
and
loving
Brother
had
been
setled
and
paid
.
2.
You
said
,
That
you
would
follow
the
Example
of
your
Brother
,
in
his
Clemency
and
Tenderness
to
the
People
of
England
.
What
your
Brother's
Clemency
and
Tenderness
to
the
people
of
England
was
,
I
am
yet
to
learn
.
What
was
his
Clemency
to
his
old
Cavaliers
,
that
had
serv'd
both
his
Father
and
him
in
the
Wars
,
to
the
ruine
of
themselves
and
Families
,
spending
their
Substance
in
both
their
Services
,
and
not
so
much
as
looked
upon
when
you
were
restor'd
?
After
that
Sir
John
Webster
,
a
Merchant
,
had
lent
him
150000
l.
Sterling
,
did
not
he
,
after
much
Importunity
,
reward
the
said
Sir
John
with
the
refusal
of
a
Land-waiter's
Place
,
and
graciously
suffer'd
the
poor
man
to
starve
,
as
a
Reward
of
his
Loyalty
?
Was
not
his
Clemency
such
,
that
within
the
compass
of
a
very
few
years
all
his
whole
Interest
was
melted
down
into
a
small
Regiment
of
Pimps
,
Whores
,
and
Bawds
,
on
whom
he
lavishly
confer'd
great
Honours
,
and
on
them
he
profusely
spent
the
Treasure
of
the
Nation
.
Remember
,
Sir
,
how
his
Clemency
was
extended
to
those
Ministers
that
brought
him
home
,
and
to
that
Party
of
Men
that
restor'd
him
to
his
Crown
and
Dignity
.
Mr.
Jenkins
is
a
notable
Instance
of
his
Clemency
,
who
ventur'd
his
Life
for
his
Restoration
,
in
that
Cause
that
Mr.
Love
lost
his
.
What
a
Tenderness
he
had
for
Mr.
Jenkins
▪
was
seen
in
his
murdering
him
in
Prison
,
notwithstanding
all
the
humble
application
made
to
your
tender
Brother
,
for
his
release
,
in
order
to
preserve
his
Life
.
His
Clemency
to
Sir
Henry
Vane
was
admirable
,
for
rather
than
Vane
should
not
be
sent
to
Heaven
,
he
broke
through
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
lest
the
Martyr
should
find
delay
in
his
passage
thither
.
What
can
you
say
of
his
Clemency
to
Great
Essex
,
and
Noble
Russel
,
whom
he
basely
and
barbarously
murder'd
?
I
think
that
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
is
another
Instance
of
his
Clemency
.
And
so
you
were
as
good
as
your
word
,
in
following
the
Example
of
his
Clemency
and
Tenderness
to
the
People
of
England
.
For
upon
your
entering
into
the
Regal
State
,
you
let
England
have
a
taste
of
your
Clemency
.
I
must
begin
with
my
own
Case
;
I
sufficiently
tasted
of
your
Grace
and
Favour
after
that
with
the
hazard
of
my
Life
;
I
had
discover'd
a
Damnable
Conspiracy
,
carried
on
by
the
Popish
Party
,
for
the
destruction
of
the
King
your
Brother
and
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
Government
of
the
Nation
;
how
you
used
me
let
all
the
World
judge
,
notwithstanding
the
Credit
the
Parliament
had
given
me
;
as
you
may
rememember
in
the
Vote
of
March
15.
1679.
Resolved
,
Nemine
Contradicente
,
by
the
Lords
Spiritual
and
Temporal
and
Commons
in
Parliament
assembled
,
That
they
do
declare
that
they
are
fully
satisfied
,
by
the
Proofs
they
have
heard
,
that
there
now
is
,
and
for
divers
years
last
past
hath
been
,
an
Horrid
and
Treasonable
Plot
and
Conspiracy
,
continued
and
carried
on
by
those
of
the
Popish
Religion
,
for
the
murdering
of
His
Majesty's
Sacred
Person
,
and
for
subverting
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
Ancient
Establish'd
Government
of
this
Kingdom
.
Notwithstanding
all
your
Clemency
and
Tenderness
to
the
English
Nation
,
produce
such
a
Vote
for
the
Justifying
your
Reputation
in
the
Nation
,
and
for
ought
I
know
,
you
may
perswade
your self
that
the
Nation
may
be
enclin'd
to
receive
you
into
favour
again
,
and
admit
your
tender
Government
of
them
once
more
.
But
to
return
to
the
Point
.
Notwithstanding
the
Power
of
Truth
and
the
Credit
of
this
Vote
,
with
what
implacable
Malice
did
you
and
your
Banditti
pursue
me
?
How
often
did
you
attempt
to
take
away
my
Life
by
the
Testimony
of
False
Witnesses
?
With
what
Importunity
did
you
prevail
upon
the
King
your
Brother
to
withdraw
that
Protection
and
Subsistance
that
the
said
King
allow'd
me
at
the
request
of
several
Parliaments
,
so
that
I
might
starve
for
want
of
Bread
?
Nay
,
to
express
your
Clemency
and
Tenderness
,
how
warmly
did
you
prosecute
me
in
an
Action
of
Scandalum
Magnatum
,
for
speaking
this
Notorious
Truth
of
you
,
That
you
were
reconciled
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
that
it
was
High
Treason
to
be
so
reconcil'd
?
And
what
a
noble
Verdict
a
pack'd
Jury
of
your
Conspirators
,
upon
the
prosecution
,
brought
in
against
me
,
of
One
hundred
thousand
Pound
Damages
?
And
thereupon
you
generously
Charged
me
in
Execution
in
the
Kings-Bench
Prison
.
And
was
you
afraid
that
I
was
Able
to
have
paid
the
Debt
and
Charges
,
and
as
Willing
as
Able
?
Well
,
to
prevent
it
,
you
resolv'd
that
I
should
not
want
your
Clemency
and
Tenderness
;
you
therefore
,
to
justifie
those
Vertues
to
be
inherent
in
you
,
you
prevail'd
with
King
Charles
the
Second
to
give
you
and
your
Conspirators
Leave
to
prefer
two
several
Indictments
of
two
pretended
Perjuries
in
my
Evidence
concerning
the
Popish
Plot
,
but
your
Villains
would
not
let
the
King
your
Brother
live
to
see
those
Indictments
try'd
,
therefore
they
were
brought
to
tryal
in
your
tender
Reign
.
What
sort
of
Witnesses
did
you
produce
against
me
,
but
those
very
men
that
had
been
in
no
less
than
three
Tryals
prov'd
and
judg'd
to
be
False
Witnesses
,
the
Religion
they
professed
no
ways
admitting
them
to
be
Credible
;
and
therefore
,
as
they
were
not
believ'd
when
they
gave
their
Testimony
without
an
Oath
,
so
they
were
not
to
be
believ'd
when
they
were
upon
their
Oaths
;
for
you
know
,
tender
Sir
,
they
were
of
a
Religion
that
could
dispense
with
Oaths
,
tho'
false
,
for
the
sake
of
your
Catholick
Cause
.
These
,
Sir
,
were
your
Witnesses
;
and
you
had
two
Juries
of
Men
that
had
as
large
a
Faith
to
believe
as
the
Rogues
had
Consciences
to
swear
,
and
so
I
must
averr
Juries
and
Witnesses
to
be
alike
,
for
he
is
as
criminal
,
and
is
as
much
damn'd
,
that
believes
a
Lye
,
as
he
is
that
makes
one
and
swears
it
too
;
for
the
Rogues
your
mercenary
wicked
Judges
,
and
the
Villains
that
were
Witnesses
,
and
your
pack'd
Hell-born
Jury-men
,
were
all
in
(
as
it
were
)
a
Confederacy
,
to
be
reveng'd
on
me
for
the
discovery
of
the
Popish
Plot
,
and
to
cast
a
Reproach
upon
the
Wisdom
and
Honour
of
four
successive
Parliaments
,
and
upon
the
publick
Justice
of
the
Nation
.
Well
,
Sir
,
I
was
convicted
,
notwithstanding
the
Witnesses
I
brought
in
,
who
were
brow-beaten
,
abused
by
that
Villain
Jefferies
,
who
had
neither
Law
nor
Sence
,
nor
Manners
,
but
had
the
Impudence
of
Ten
Carted
Whores
;
therefore
nothing
now
remained
for
me
but
Judgment
,
which
was
your
own
appointing
,
with
the
Advice
of
your
twelve
Villains
that
were
of
the
Lambskin
Order
,
and
others
of
your
Conspirators
,
as
a
Mark
of
your
Clemency
and
Tenderness
towards
me
.
The
Sentence
was
as
barbarous
and
inhuman
as
it
was
unjust
;
for
I
was
to
pay
to
you
Two
thousand
Marks
,
to
be
divested
of
my
Canonical
Habit
,
and
brought
into
Westminster-Hall
with
a
Paper
upon
my
Head
with
this
Inscription
;
Titus
Dates
,
convicted
upon
full
Evidence
of
two
Horrid
Perjuries
;
to
stand
in
and
upon
the
Pillory
for
two
several
days
;
on
Wednesday
to
be
Whip'd
from
Aldgate
to
Newgate
,
and
on
the
Friday
following
from
Newgate
to
Tyburn
;
and
to
stand
in
and
upon
the
Pillory
five
times
every
year
of
my
Life
,
and
to
remain
a
Prisoner
during
Life
.
This
Sentence
sounded
ill
in
the
Ears
of
most
Men
,
and
filled
many
with
Horror
and
Amazement
,
when
they
consider'd
the
great
Clemency
and
Tenderness
that
you
did
in
your
Speech
but
a
little
before
mention
to
the
Council
,
and
therefore
some
persons
of
known
worth
and
quality
made
application
to
you
to
mitigate
the
Sentence
,
but
were
refus'd
with
the
gracious
Saying
,
That
I
should
go
through
it
if
I
had
breath
in
my
body
.
And
then
,
judging
that
your
Italian
Comrade
might
have
this
Clemency
and
Tenderness
of
yours
under
her
Lock
and
Key
,
application
was
made
to
her
Ladiship
,
but
they
found
that
she
was
resolv'd
upon
my
Destruction
;
they
return'd
home
,
holding
up
their
Eyes
and
Hands
to
Heaven
with
a
Lord
have
Mercy
upon
us
.
Truly
,
Sir
,
it
was
their
Good-will
to
me
,
but
it
was
their
Inadvertency
to
make
any
Application
to
you
or
your
Italian
Pugg
;
for
it
was
the
Example
of
your
Brother's
Clemency
and
Tenderness
that
you
were
resolv'd
to
follow
.
Since
it
was
so
,
not
only
I
,
but
all
thinking
men
,
did
then
judge
that
your
unparallel'd
Sentence
thus
pronounc'd
was
to
murder
me
;
and
therefore
to
justifie
the
inherent
Clemency
and
Tenderness
that
you
had
for
a
poor
English
Protestant
,
the
said
Sentence
was
executed
with
all
the
Circumstances
of
Barbarity
,
for
I
suffer'd
some
thousands
of
Stripes
,
by
which
I
was
put
to
unspeakable
Tortures
,
and
lay
ten
weeks
under
the
Chyrurgeons
hands
.
But
,
Sir
,
your
Malice
and
Malicious
Clemency
and
Barbarous
Tenderness
did
not
cease
here
;
but
because
I
,
thro'
the
great
Mercy
of
Almighty
God
supporting
me
,
and
the
extraordinary
Care
and
Skill
of
a
Judicious
Chyrurgeon
,
outliv'd
your
Cruelty
;
for
such
were
your
tender
Mercies
to
me
,
you
sent
some
of
your
Cut-throat
Crew
,
whilst
I
was
weak
in
my
Bed
,
to
pull
off
those
Plaisters
applied
to
cure
my
Back
,
and
in
your
most
gracious
Name
they
threatned
me
with
all
Courtesie
and
Humanity
to
destroy
me
.
Surely
,
Sir
,
a
Man
would
have
thought
that
by
this
time
you
had
given
Testimony
enough
of
your
Tenderness
and
Clemency
,
but
I
found
to
my
Cost
that
I
was
to
taste
a
little
more
of
your
Grace
and
Mercy
;
for
by
your
own
Command
I
was
loaded
with
Irons
of
excessive
weight
,
for
the
space
of
one
whole
year
without
any
intermission
,
and
of
your
Princely
Compassion
they
were
not
suffer'd
to
be
taken
off
even
when
my
Legs
were
swoln
with
the
Gout
.
Nay
,
that
I
might
appear
to
partake
of
the
utmost
of
your
Mercy
,
I
was
by
your
order
shut
up
in
the
Hole
or
Dungeon
of
the
Prison
,
whereby
I
became
impair'd
of
my
Limbs
,
and
contracted
Convulsion
Fits
,
to
the
hazard
of
my
Life
.
But
when
you
had
fill'd
up
the
measure
of
your
Sins
,
and
the
Nation
came
to
its
self
,
you
were
by
the
just
Judgment
of
God
driven
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
a
Parliament
freely
chosen
did
sit
,
observe
the
Judgment
they
made
of
your
Grace
and
Clemency
and
Tenderness
;
in
order
to
which
read
the
Vote
of
the
House
of
Commons
June
11.
1689.
which
was
this
;
Resolved
,
That
the
Prosecution
of
Titus
Oates
,
upon
two
Indictments
of
Perjury
,
in
the
Court
of
King's
Bench
,
was
a
Design
to
stifle
the
Popish
Plot
;
and
that
the
Verdicts
given
thereupon
were
corrupt
;
and
that
the
Judgments
given
thereupon
were
cruel
and
illegal
.
Do
you
get
such
another
Vote
to
justifie
your
Clemency
and
Tenderness
,
we
will
keep
a
Day
for
you
,
tho'
through
the
Blessing
of
God
we
may
never
see
your
Face
again
;
but
if
we
should
,
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
that
the
old
Window
of
the
Banquetting
House
stands
in
the
same
place
where
it
did
you
know
when
.
But
lest
you
or
any
of
your
cursed
Crew
should
say
,
That
altho'
I
tasted
not
of
your
Grace
,
and
Clemency
,
and
Tenderness
,
yet
still
your
Clemency
did
appear
to
others
that
had
offended
you
,
this
makes
me
hasten
to
some
other
Instances
wherein
the
World
may
judge
whether
or
no
your
Tender
Mercies
were
not
Cruelty
in
the
highest
degree
.
2.
Give
me
leave
therefore
to
instance
to
you
of
the
Usage
of
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
and
those
Men
that
were
with
him
in
the
West
,
who
did
ryse
to
have
deliver'd
the
Nation
from
your
Designs
of
Popery
and
Slavery
,
which
you
had
for
so
many
years
with
your
Cut-throats
carried
on
with
such
Success
.
That
Noble
Duke
was
your
kind
and
loving
Brother's
Son
,
and
your
own
Nephew
,
and
one
that
for
many
years
together
had
been
very
obsequious
to
you
,
and
was
,
tho'
ignorantly
,
in
the
Conspiracy
with
you
to
ruine
the
Nation
,
and
ventur'd
his
Life
in
that
wicked
War
against
the
Dutch
,
to
oblige
you
and
his
Father
;
but
God
had
no
sooner
open'd
his
Eyes
,
to
make
a
true
Judgment
of
your
wicked
purposes
,
but
you
sought
his
Ruine
,
and
took
all
Opportunities
to
be
reveng'd
upon
him
and
his
Party
,
which
,
you
know
,
once
was
very
considerable
.
And
when
God
deliver'd
him
into
your
hand
,
you
were
pleas'd
upon
Tower-hill
to
murder
him
.
This
I
say
because
that
he
being
a
Peer
of
the
Realm
,
notwithstanding
his
pretended
Attainder
,
he
ought
to
have
had
the
liberty
of
an
attainded
Peer
,
that
is
,
to
have
been
heard
at
the
Bar
of
the
House
of
Lords
,
and
to
have
shew'd
Cause
why
he
should
not
be
executed
according
to
the
Tenure
of
that
Act
by
which
he
stood
attainded
.
But
you
,
I
conceive
,
was
resolv'd
to
have
his
Blood
,
and
therefore
you
would
not
complement
him
with
that
piece
of
Justice
which
is
due
to
every
man
that
is
found
guilty
of
any
capital
Offence
:
So
that
he
being
deny'd
of
this
piece
of
Justice
,
I
do
affirm
,
that
he
by
your
Clemency
and
Tenderness
was
basely
betray'd
and
murder'd
.
Well
,
did
the
business
of
the
West
end
so
?
No
,
for
remember
how
many
of
them
by
your
Villanous
Kirk
were
murder'd
and
hang'd
up
in
cool
Blood
,
without
any
manner
of
proceeding
according
to
the
form
of
Law
and
Justice
;
and
this
being
taken
notice
of
by
your
own
Crew
,
that
had
heard
of
your
pretended
Clemency
and
Tenderness
,
as
a
thing
that
would
not
sound
well
in
the
Nation
;
therefore
the
remainder
were
confined
,
and
your
Villain
Jefferies
and
his
murdering
Brethren
were
sent
down
to
try
these
poor
unfortunate
wretches
,
from
many
of
whom
a
Confession
was
extorted
upon
the
Promise
of
Pardon
,
and
then
they
were
condemn'd
and
murder'd
,
they
being
innocent
of
what
they
had
confess'd
against
themselves
;
others
that
had
been
in
actual
Arms
hundreds
of
them
were
hang'd
in
the
principal
Towns
,
and
their
Quarters
hang'd
up
in
the
Highways
,
as
lasting
Monuments
of
your
Grace
and
Compassion
.
And
you
being
glutted
with
Blood
,
you
then
thought
of
other
Punishments
for
some
other
of
those
Offenders
;
many
Men
and
Women
were
order'd
to
be
whip'd
publickly
in
the
Market-Towns
,
others
had
their
Estates
seiz'd
,
and
a
great
number
were
sold
into
America
,
to
serve
all
days
of
their
Lives
;
so
that
there
was
nothing
but
the
Voice
of
lamentation
and
weeping
to
be
heard
.
In
a
word
,
your
Grace
,
Clemency
and
Tenderness
was
such
,
that
several
of
the
Western
Counties
were
made
so
many
Fields
of
Blood
and
Butchery
:
Nay
,
Sir
,
those
who
escaped
your
Mercy
by
vertue
of
your
Proclamation
,
were
forced
to
retire
to
the
Woods
and
desolate
places
,
their
nearest
and
dearest
Relations
not
daring
so
much
as
to
harbour
or
relieve
them
,
so
that
several
starved
to
death
,
or
perish'd
with
cold
for
want
of
things
necessary
for
the
preservation
of
Human
Nature
:
Some
fled
to
the
Dutch
for
shelter
,
and
were
not
only
kindly
receiv'd
,
but
as
civily
entertain'd
,
till
you
began
to
have
some
Shame
in
you
,
and
pardon'd
some
,
in
hopes
that
they
would
be
of
use
to
you
;
and
others
came
over
with
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
who
,
by
the
Just
Judgment
of
God
upon
you
and
your
Adherents
,
banish'd
you
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Lords
and
Commons
of
England
deposed
you
as
useless
to
God
and
Man
.
But
,
Sir
,
this
is
notorious
,
that
you
never
entertain'd
the
least
Remorse
of
Conscience
for
the
murther
of
these
men
in
the
West
,
for
those
you
pardon'd
paid
a
Price
sufficient
for
their
Pardons
;
or
if
you
gave
them
Pardon
freely
,
it
was
to
prevent
their
setting
up
their
Trades
in
other
Countries
.
And
Jefferies
your
Tool
,
that
you
ought
to
have
hang'd
,
you
let
him
go
off
with
no
other
Punishment
than
to
be
made
Lord
High
Chancellor
of
England
,
who
also
did
enrich
himself
with
the
Sum
of
15000
l.
extorted
from
one
person
who
wanted
a
Pardon
,
for
nothing
else
but
the
not
delivering
his
Country
,
which
he
might
have
done
for
half
the
Mony
.
I
am
more
sorry
that
Jefferies
got
the
Mony
,
than
for
that
Gentleman
's
losing
that
Sum.
Truly
,
Sir
,
I
was
in
hopes
that
the
Time
of
that
Villain
Jefferies
had
been
come
,
in
which
he
should
not
only
have
paid
his
Debt
to
Nature
,
but
to
his
Faults
too
;
but
he
is
gone
to
his
Place
,
and
thereby
he
hath
sav'd
the
Hangman
a
Labour
;
but
had
he
liv'd
,
he
would
in
my
opinion
have
been
made
an
Example
for
all
his
Villanies
that
he
had
committed
,
both
as
a
corrupt
Judge
and
a
trayterous
Chancellor
.
3.
You
were
pleased
in
the
years
1687
&
1688
,
to
publish
a
Declaration
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
professed
in
both
the
said
Declarations
,
That
it
was
always
your
Judgment
that
no
man's
Conscience
should
be
restrain'd
in
Matters
of
Religion
.
Now
,
Sir
,
if
that
were
true
,
why
then
did
you
persecute
the
Protestant
Dissenters
for
their
Conscience
,
from
Feb.
6.
1684
,
till
the
latter
end
of
the
year
1686
?
And
if
it
were
not
your
Judgment
,
why
then
did
you
proclaim
Liberty
of
Conscience
as
your
Judgment
?
But
,
Sir
,
to
deal
truly
in
the
point
,
you
had
a
Popish
Fabrick
to
erect
,
and
you
wanted
Liberty
of
Conscience
to
be
the
Scaffold
;
and
when
you
had
done
your
business
of
settling
Popery
,
you
would
have
laid
Liberty
of
Conscience
aside
,
as
your
Brethren
abroad
of
the
Popish
Religion
have
always
done
.
And
this
was
the
Clemency
your
Brother
was
pleas'd
to
shew
to
Dissenters
,
and
afterwards
he
and
you
could
with
great
Tenderness
suffer
them
to
perish
in
Prison
;
and
you
your self
,
when
you
were
in
the
Chair
,
persecuted
them
,
to
the
ruine
of
some
Thousands
of
Families
;
you
surfeited
your self
and
Party
with
the
murder
and
ruine
of
so
many
Men
,
and
yet
you
pretend
to
Clemency
and
Tenderness
.
To
conclude
this
particular
,
your
Brother
and
you
made
two
Declarations
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
for
no
other
intent
but
to
cheat
the
People
of
England
into
Slavery
and
Popery
,
to
the
end
that
you
might
damn
the
Body
and
Soul
of
the
Nation
at
once
.
From
such
Clemency
and
Tenderness
I
trust
God
hath
deliver'd
this
Nation
,
and
will
preserve
her
under
the
present
Government
,
all
your
pretences
to
the
contrary
notwithstanding
.
4.
What
shall
I
say
of
those
worthy
persons
that
you
kept
in
Jayl
for
the
pretended
Damages
of
100000
l.
and
others
of
10000
l.
and
others
for
one
Fine
or
another
?
What
shall
I
say
of
the
Murther
of
the
Lady
Lisle
,
and
Alderman
Cornish
,
Mr.
Ayliff
,
and
Mr.
Nelthrope
,
and
poor
Disney
?
These
were
Monuments
of
your
Clemency
and
Tenderness
.
3.
You
promis'd
in
your
Speech
to
the
Council
,
That
you
would
maintain
the
Church
of
England
as
it
was
establish'd
by
Law
.
Nay
,
I
think
,
if
you
had
not
wrong
done
you
,
you
swore
it
too
at
your
Coronation
.
And
,
Sir
,
(
if
you
please
)
call
to
mind
how
you
kept
your
Promise
and
Oath
in
relation
to
the
Church
of
England
and
the
Protestant
Interest
;
nay
,
you
gave
a
reason
for
your
Promise
,
it
being
the
only
Reason
that
you
ever
gave
in
your
Life
,
I
will
put
you
in
mind
of
it
,
Because
,
said
you
,
Her
Members
had
shew'd
themselves
Loyal
Subjects
,
and
that
the
Principles
of
the
Church
of
England
had
been
for
Monarchy
.
Therefore
,
1.
How
did
you
maintain
the
Church
of
England
as
by
Law
establish'd
?
Were
there
not
Laws
in
force
for
the
preservation
of
the
Church
of
England
,
that
had
been
enacted
in
the
Reigns
of
several
Princes
that
were
your
Predecessors
,
amongst
which
Laws
,
as
a
security
of
the
Church
of
England
against
Popery
,
That
all
persons
whatsoever
,
that
were
advanced
to
any
Ecclesiastical
Dignity
,
or
to
bear
Office
in
either
University
,
as
likewise
all
Civil
and
Military
Officers
,
should
declare
they
were
not
Papists
,
but
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
that
by
taking
the
Oaths
of
Allegiance
and
Supremacy
,
and
the
Test
;
yet
you
and
your
Conspirators
annulled
all
those
Laws
that
were
made
to
secure
the
Protestant
Religion
against
Popery
.
Was
this
to
defend
the
Church
of
England
and
to
maintain
Her
Laws
?
I
leave
it
to
all
men
to
judge
.
But
you
and
your
villanous
Commissioners
thought
your selves
so
wise
,
as
to
reconcile
Contradictions
,
and
therefore
you
were
resolv'd
to
try
your
Skill
upon
the
Church
and
the
Nurseries
of
Learning
;
which
prov'd
fatal
to
you
and
your
Party
by
the
Just
Vengeance
of
Almighty
God
.
2.
Did
you
not
,
against
express
Law
,
and
against
the
Promise
of
your
maintaining
the
Church
of
England
,
set
up
an
Ecclesiastical
Commission
,
and
impower
the
Persons
named
in
that
illegal
Commission
to
take
cognizance
,
and
to
give
arbitrary
directions
in
matters
Ecclesiastical
,
in
which
Commission
there
was
one
who
profess'd
the
Popish
Religion
,
and
others
that
were
Abettors
of
Popery
and
Popish
Superstition
;
therefore
to
what
deplorable
condition
was
the
Church
of
England
reduc'd
,
that
a
Commissioner
for
the
Church
of
England's
Affairs
should
publickly
abjure
the
Protestant
Religion
,
by
which
means
he
was
not
only
very
unfit
,
but
also
uncapable
of
holding
any
publick
Employment
!
And
did
not
the
Banditti
give
you
such
proof
of
their
submission
to
your
Popish
Directions
you
gave
them
,
that
they
had
continued
in
their
Places
to
this
day
,
had
not
God
of
his
Infinite
Mercy
deliver'd
us
from
them
and
your self
?
For
they
were
men
of
an
agreeable
disposition
to
have
furthered
your
designs
of
Popery
,
notwithstanding
all
your
Promises
to
maintain
the
Church
of
England
,
for
they
took
care
that
none
should
be
prefer'd
that
had
any
zeal
for
the
Protestant
Religion
;
for
,
if
you
will
be
serious
in
considering
who
they
were
that
you
prefer'd
to
the
Dignities
in
the
Church
,
and
upon
what
terms
,
you
must
own
,
that
they
were
men
of
such
Morals
and
Principles
,
as
render'd
them
a
very
scandal
to
that
villanous
Design
that
you
and
your
Conspirators
were
carrying
on
against
the
Church
of
England
.
3.
I
pray
,
Sir
,
was
the
suspension
of
the
Bishop
of
London
another
demonstration
of
your
Purpose
and
Resolution
to
maintain
the
Church
of
England
?
Let
any
of
your
trayterous
Crew
stand
forth
and
answer
for
you
;
Was
not
that
Prelate
suspended
for
refusing
to
obey
an
Arbitrary
Order
sent
to
him
by
your
Banditti
Commissioners
for
the
suspending
of
Dr.
Sharp
,
now
Archbishop
of
York
,
for
preaching
against
Popery
according
to
his
Office
and
Calling
,
without
so
much
as
citing
the
said
Dr.
Sharp
before
him
to
make
his
defence
,
or
observing
any
common
forms
of
Process
commonly
us'd
in
such
cases
:
The
Bishop
comply'd
with
your
Suspension
,
and
what
damage
it
was
to
him
he
can
tell
better
than
I
;
but
it
did
work
for
our
Good
,
and
hasten'd
our
Deliverance
,
but
it
shew'd
that
you
had
but
little
regard
to
your
Oath
and
Promise
to
maintain
the
Church
of
England
.
4.
Another
Specimen
you
gave
us
of
your
pious
Resolution
of
maintaining
the
Ch.
of
England
as
by
Law
establish'd
,
was
the
dealing
with
Magdalen
Colledge
in
Oxford
.
In
the
first
place
you
turn'd
out
the
President
,
who
was
legally
chosen
by
the
Fellows
of
the
Colledge
,
who
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
are
sworn
to
chuse
one
from
among
themselves
to
bear
that
Office
;
then
you
turn'd
out
all
the
Fellows
for
refusing
to
chuse
one
of
your
recommendation
,
without
so
much
as
citing
them
to
appear
before
any
Court
that
could
take
legal
cognizance
in
that
affair
,
or
obtaining
any
Sentence
against
them
by
a
competent
Judge
;
and
the
only
reason
you
gave
for
the
turning
them
out
,
was
,
because
they
had
refus'd
a
person
that
was
a
Papist
,
who
was
not
only
uncapable
by
the
Laws
of
the
Land
,
but
also
by
the
Statutes
of
that
Colledge
,
of
bearing
the
Office
of
a
President
or
Fellow
of
that
Community
.
And
having
expel'd
both
President
and
Fellows
,
you
put
the
said
Colledge
into
the
hands
of
Papists
,
that
you
might
the
better
maintain
the
Rights
and
Liberties
of
the
Ch.
of
England
as
by
Law
establish'd
.
But
I
hope
it
may
be
a
warning
to
that
Community
,
and
to
all
others
of
that
University
,
how
they
advance
the
Prerogative
of
the
Crown
so
high
,
and
nourish
those
two
pestilent
Doctrins
of
Passive
Obedience
and
Non-Resistance
,
and
the
Divine
Right
of
Succession
,
les●
those
Doctrins
do
expose
them
to
a
greater
Danger
than
the
last
.
5.
Another
demonstration
that
was
given
by
you
of
your
stedfast
Purposes
of
standing
by
and
maintaining
of
the
Ch.
of
England
,
was
your
proceeding
against
the
Vice
Chancellor
of
Cambridge
,
1687.
You
had
a
great
Favour
for
one
Francis
a
Benedictine
Monk
,
a
Rogue
that
was
fit
for
any
Villany
that
you
could
put
him
upon
to
act
;
him
you
sent
to
Cambridge
to
corrupt
the
Youth
there
,
and
no
doubt
but
for
his
time
he
did
the
business
for
which
you
sent
him
.
You
planted
him
in
Sidney
Colledge
,
where
you
had
placed
one
Basset
a
Papist
in
that
House
as
Master
,
but
your
Monk
had
an
Apartment
,
wherein
he
perform'd
the
Office
of
a
Priest
according
to
the
Ch.
of
Rome
;
but
being
a
Fellow
that
had
taken
no
Degrees
in
any
University
either
at
home
or
abroad
,
you
were
resolv'd
that
he
should
be
a
Master
of
Arts
in
the
University
of
Cambridge
;
and
in
order
to
this
you
sent
a
Letter
to
the
said
Vice-Chancellor
,
to
admit
the
said
Father
Francis
to
be
a
Master
of
Arts
without
taking
the
Oaths
;
which
the
Vice-Chancellor
refus'd
,
as
contrary
to
the
Law
of
the
Land
and
the
Statutes
of
the
University
:
Upon
this
you
caus'd
the
Vice-Chancellor
and
the
Delegates
of
the
University
to
be
summoned
before
your
Commissioners
of
Ecclesiastical
Affairs
,
where
that
Villain
Jefferies
,
contrary
to
all
Law
or
Reason
,
pronounced
Sentence
,
that
the
Vice-Chancellor
being
guilty
of
great
Disobedience
to
the
King's
Commands
,
and
other
Crimes
and
Contempts
,
should
be
depriv'd
of
the
Office
of
Vice-Chancellor
,
and
suspended
of
his
headship
of
Magdalen
Colledge
in
the
said
University
of
Cambridge
.
Thus
,
Sir
,
you
were
pleas'd
to
maintain
the
Ch.
of
England
,
by
suffering
the
Learning
and
Gravity
of
that
University
to
be
trampl'd
upon
,
and
by
letting
in
a
parcel
of
silly
,
impudent
,
and
illiterate
Popish
Priests
and
Fryers
,
who
were
to
joyn
with
you
in
supporting
the
Protestant
Religion
,
as
it
was
then
by
Law
establish'd
.
Unless
your
Commissioners
of
Ecclesiastical
Affairs
judg'd
that
to
destroy
the
two
Universities
as
to
Learning
,
and
to
break
in
upon
their
Laws
made
to
preserve
their
Communities
,
would
be
a
means
to
preserve
the
Church
of
England
,
I
cannot
but
wonder
at
those
extravagant
Proceedings
in
the
last
years
of
your
Tyranny
against
them
,
since
they
had
so
highly
espoused
your
Cause
when
you
were
Duke
of
York
,
against
the
Sence
of
the
whole
Nation
.
6.
Another
Reason
you
give
us
to
believe
that
you
did
design
to
stand
by
and
support
and
maintain
the
Ch.
of
England
,
was
your
proceeding
and
causing
to
be
summoned
before
your
Ecclesiastical
Commissioners
all
the
Chancellors
and
Archdeacons
of
England
,
and
requiring
them
to
certifie
the
Names
of
those
Clergymen
who
had
read
the
Declaration
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
as
well
as
the
Names
of
those
who
had
refused
the
same
,
without
considering
that
the
reading
of
it
was
not
enjoyn'd
the
Clergy
by
the
Bishops
,
who
are
their
Ordinaries
:
So
that
this
was
another
way
you
intended
(
even
by
these
extrajudicial
Proceedings
in
your
Court
of
Commissioners
Ecclesiastical
)
to
maintain
the
Liberties
of
the
Ch.
of
England
.
This
was
one
great
cause
why
several
Persons
of
Quality
both
in
Church
and
State
refused
to
be
concern'd
in
this
Commission
,
for
they
at
last
clearly
saw
,
that
this
damnable
Commission
tended
to
nothing
less
than
the
total
Subversion
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
for
you
us'd
it
to
no
other
end
and
purpose
than
to
oppress
such
persons
as
were
eminent
for
Learning
and
Virtue
,
that
should
at
any
time
or
season
preach
against
Popery
&
Superstition
.
And
it
was
God's
great
Mercy
to
the
Protestant
Interest
that
they
did
at
last
see
,
for
sure
I
am
that
in
the
latter
part
of
your
Brother's
time
,
and
in
the
beginning
of
your
time
,
they
were
given
up
to
such
a
secure
state
,
and
judicial
blindness
,
that
the
Protestant
Religion
was
in
greater
danger
of
being
supprest
than
ever
it
was
since
the
Reformation
,
notwithstanding
your
Promise
of
maintaining
and
preserving
it
.
7.
Another
Indication
of
your
Care
for
the
maintenance
of
the
Ch.
of
England
was
the
breaking
thro'
those
Laws
which
forbid
the
erecting
Churches
and
Chappels
for
the
exercise
of
the
Popish
Religion
,
and
also
against
Monasteries
and
Convents
,
and
more
particularly
against
the
Order
of
the
Jesuites
;
for
you
did
,
contrary
to
your
Oath
and
Promise
made
to
support
the
Ch.
of
England
,
give
out
arbitrary
and
illegal
Orders
to
erect
Monasteries
;
and
in
contempt
of
the
Law
you
set
up
several
Colledges
of
Jesuites
to
corrupt
the
Youth
of
the
Nation
.
Nay
,
Sir
,
that
you
might
not
leave
your self
without
Witness
of
your
stedfast
Resolution
of
maintaining
,
supporting
and
defending
the
Ch.
of
England
,
you
rais'd
up
a
Jesuite
that
was
in
the
Popish
Plot
,
in
which
the
death
of
the
King
your
kind
and
loving
Brother
was
plotted
and
contriv'd
,
and
the
subversion
of
the
Government
both
in
Church
and
State
,
to
be
a
Privy
Councillor
and
a
Minister
of
State
:
By
all
which
you
did
evidently
shew
,
that
you
were
restrain'd
by
no
Laws
,
and
therefore
the
Ch.
of
England
must
perish
,
you
being
so
well
seconded
in
your
Popish
Progress
by
your
most
excellent
Commissioners
of
Ecclesiastical
Affairs
.
But
to
conclude
this
Paragraph
,
how
those
Villains
that
acted
in
that
Commission
of
yours
can
look
Mankind
in
the
Face
,
after
they
have
done
so
many
things
against
all
Law
,
Honour
and
Conscience
,
I
do
not
understand
:
The
truth
is
,
those
that
are
yet
alive
have
with
the
Whore
in
the
Proverbs
wiped
their
Mouths
,
and
say
,
They
have
done
no
wickedness
;
and
,
without
all
doubt
,
if
they
might
be
trusted
,
would
with
as
great
earnestness
appear
against
your
Cause
and
Interest
,
as
they
did
wickedly
in
your
time
espouse
it
;
but
they
would
be
such
a
Reproach
to
an
honest
Government
,
as
would
render
the
best
and
most
honest
Cause
suspicious
,
if
engag'd
in
it
.
IV.
I
come
now
to
consider
a
4th
Passage
in
your
Speech
to
the
Council
,
wherein
you
were
pleas'd
to
say
,
That
you
had
been
reported
to
have
been
a
man
for
Arbitrary
Power
,
but
you
did
assure
them
that
you
would
preserve
the
Government
in
Church
and
State
,
as
by
Law
establish'd
;
And
That
you
knew
that
the
Laws
of
England
were
sufficient
to
make
the
King
as
great
a
Monarch
as
he
could
wish
.
How
you
preserv'd
the
Government
of
the
Church
,
is
plain
enough
;
nothing
indeed
is
more
plain
than
this
,
that
you
intended
its
Destruction
and
utter
Subversion
,
and
that
nothing
less
would
serve
your
turn
,
notwithstanding
its
Principles
were
for
Monarchy
,
and
its
Members
had
shew'd
themselves
Loyal
Subjects
.
How
fared
it
then
with
the
State
?
Surely
the
Civil
Government
was
preserv'd
,
since
the
Laws
of
England
were
sufficient
to
make
the
King
as
great
a
Monarch
as
he
could
wish
:
In
truth
,
Sir
,
there
was
but
a
lamentable
account
to
be
given
to
your
more
than
Glorious
Successor
of
your
management
of
Affairs
in
the
Civil
Government
,
all
things
were
out
of
order
at
his
accession
to
the
Crown
,
which
you
may
have
forgotten
;
therefore
,
Sir
,
be
pleas'd
to
remember
,
in
the
first
place
,
your
Villains
of
your
Council
,
and
of
your
Ecclesiastical
Commission
:
As
they
were
in
a
Conspiracy
against
the
Ch.
of
England
,
to
turn
our
Religion
into
downright
Popery
,
so
they
were
in
a
Conspiracy
against
the
State
,
to
turn
the
well
establish'd
Government
of
this
Land
into
downright
Slavery
,
and
this
not
secretly
,
as
if
those
Rascals
were
not
asham'd
of
what
they
did
,
for
they
had
that
matchless
Impudence
to
act
in
an
open
and
undisguis'd
manner
;
and
to
carry
on
your
villanous
purposes
,
you
and
your
Accomplices
set
up
the
Dispensing
Power
,
by
vertue
of
which
you
might
suspend
and
dispense
with
the
execution
of
the
Laws
at
your
pleasure
:
and
in
order
to
give
this
devilish
Maxim
of
yours
and
your
Conspirators
countenance
and
credit
,
you
so
manag'd
that
matter
,
that
you
obtain'd
an
Opinion
from
the
Judges
,
most
of
which
were
mercenary
Rogues
,
who
declar'd
their
opinion
,
That
this
Dispensing
Power
was
in
the
Kings
of
England
;
as
if
it
were
in
the
power
of
these
Villains
to
offer
up
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
the
whole
Nation
to
your self
,
to
be
dispos'd
of
by
you
arbitrarily
at
your
pleasure
,
and
expresly
contrary
to
those
Laws
that
were
enacted
for
the
liberty
of
the
Subject
.
In
order
to
obtain
this
Judgment
,
your
Conspirators
did
before
hand
examine
secretly
the
Sentiments
of
the
Judges
,
and
procur'd
such
of
them
as
could
not
in
Conscience
concur
in
so
villanous
an
opinion
or
sentence
to
be
turn'd
out
,
and
others
that
had
neither
Law
nor
Conscience
were
substituted
in
their
rooms
,
so
that
by
changing
of
hands
they
found
out
12
matchless
Rogues
,
from
whom
you
obtain'd
that
wicked
Judgment
which
,
if
my
Memory
fail
me
not
,
was
laid
down
in
these
5
particulars
.
1.
That
the
Kings
of
England
are
Soveraign
Princes
.
2.
That
the
Laws
of
England
are
the
King's
Laws
.
3.
That
it
is
an
inseparable
Prerogative
of
the
K.
of
Engl.
to
dispense
with
Penal
Laws
upon
necessity
and
urgent
occasions
.
4.
That
the
K.
is
the
sole
Judge
of
that
necessity
.
5.
That
this
is
not
in
Trust
given
to
the
K.
but
't
is
the
ancient
Remains
of
the
Crown
,
which
ne'r
was
nor
can
be
taken
from
him
.
Give
me
leave
,
Sir
,
to
examin
these
Particulars
,
and
let
the
world
see
how
you
were
abus'd
,
and
how
you
abus'd
the
Government
by
the
Opinions
of
these
12
mercenary
Rogues
.
1.
That
the
Kings
of
England
were
Soveraign
Princes
.
What
then
?
Must
you
by
a
Dispensing
Power
do
what
you
list
?
were
you
not
subject
to
those
Laws
which
you
were
sworn
to
keep
?
And
if
you
had
not
fled
,
might
you
not
have
been
call'd
to
an
account
?
Might
not
the
People
,
from
whom
you
deriv'd
your
Authority
,
have
had
any
Power
over
you
?
And
was
it
not
dangerous
both
to
Church
and
State
to
have
a
Popish
Prince
so
mighty
,
that
no
Protestant
House
of
Peers
or
Commons
dare
controul
him
?
Truly
,
Sir
,
I
own
that
the
Kings
of
England
are
soveraign
Princes
,
yet
the
Nation
by
their
Representatives
did
ne'r
allow
the
Kings
of
England
to
do
what
12
mercenary
Judges
should
deliver
as
their
Opinions
;
for
,
Sir
,
it
was
ne'r
intended
when
you
assumed
the
Government
,
that
your
Will
and
Pleasure
should
stand
for
a
Law
,
for
the
Laws
that
support
the
Grandeur
of
the
Crown
limited
your
Will
to
Reason
,
and
ty'd
your
Commands
to
the
Word
of
God
,
the
Laws
of
the
Realm
,
and
the
Weal
of
the
People
.
And
since
,
Sir
,
you
regarded
not
these
things
,
but
follow'd
the
Sentiments
of
your
corrupt
Judges
,
your
Will
was
unlawful
,
and
Commands
unjust
.
The
Kings
of
England
always
have
been
,
and
still
are
Soveraign
Princes
,
but
what
makes
them
so
?
Is
it
not
the
Law
of
the
Land
?
And
doth
not
the
Law
set
a
boundary
to
their
Government
as
well
as
to
the
Peoples
Obedience
?
Is
there
not
a
mutual
Contract
between
King
and
People
?
Now
,
when
any
K.
shall
by
a
Suspending
or
Dispensing
Power
dissolve
this
Contract
,
and
break
in
upon
our
Laws
,
and
overturn
the
Government
,
the
People
cease
to
be
his
Subjects
,
and
he
to
be
their
King
.
It
is
your
own
case
,
Sir
,
by
your
Dispensing
Power
you
did
not
only
pretend
to
be
above
Law
,
but
also
that
you
were
not
bound
by
Law
;
tho'
by
your
Oath
you
were
as
much
bound
to
observe
the
Law
as
a
King
,
as
your
People
were
bound
to
observe
the
Laws
as
your
Subjects
.
But
the
People
of
England
seeing
that
it
was
in
vain
to
expect
any
Justice
or
Righteousness
from
you
,
(
for
means
of
reformation
was
propounded
,
but
was
denied
to
be
comply'd
withal
)
several
noble
Lords
saw
themselves
slighted
,
their
Counsels
rejected
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
upon
its
last
Legs
,
they
therefore
did
implore
the
help
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
now
our
Gracious
King
;
he
comes
over
,
seizeth
your
Treasure
,
your
fortified
places
,
Navy
,
and
Naval
Stores
,
and
with
one
Consent
of
the
People
of
England
was
made
our
Sove
-
L●rd
and
King
,
and
hath
his
health
very
well
without
the
help
and
aid
of
a
Dispensing
Power
;
God
send
him
a
long
and
prosperous
Reign
.
2.
The
Laws
of
England
are
the
Kings
Laws
;
if
your
Dispensing
Vermin
did
mean
by
the
Laws
being
your
Laws
,
that
is
,
that
you
were
intrusted
with
the
Conservation
and
the
Execution
of
them
,
then
we
agree
with
the
Rogues
;
but
how
doth
this
Trust
reposed
in
the
King
,
for
the
time
being
,
intitle
him
to
Suspend
and
Dispense
with
these
Laws
:
but
if
by
the
Laws
being
yours
they
understood
that
they
were
your
Property
,
either
to
Execute
or
not
Execute
,
either
to
keep
or
break
at
your
pleasure
:
I
pray
Sir
,
to
what
end
were
they
made
,
and
to
what
end
were
you
Sworn
,
to
keep
and
maintain
these
Laws
,
why
was
there
the
trouble
of
an
Oath
to
keep
the
Law
?
But
Sir
,
here
they
laid
down
a
notorious
falshood
,
for
the
Laws
of
England
are
the
Laws
made
by
King
and
People
as
the
Rule
of
the
Government
of
the
King
on
the
one
hand
,
and
of
the
Obedience
of
the
People
on
the
other
.
3.
That
it
is
an
inseparable
Prerogative
of
the
King
of
England
to
Dispense
with
Penal
Laws
upon
necessity
and
urgent
Occasions
,
this
was
laid
down
as
good
Law
.
But
Sir
,
I
pray
consider
,
were
not
all
the
Laws
of
England
Enacted
by
the
King
and
the
People
of
England
,
met
in
Parliament
,
for
the
security
of
the
Government
and
of
the
Subject
;
how
then
could
these
Villains
give
you
a
Power
of
annulling
these
Laws
at
your
Will
and
Pleasure
,
since
you
could
not
suspend
or
dispense
with
them
,
but
by
the
same
Authority
by
which
they
were
made
?
It
is
true
,
the
King
of
England
,
for
the
time
being
,
may
pardon
a
Punishment
that
a
Transgressor
hath
incurred
,
and
to
which
he
is
condemned
,
as
in
cases
of
Fellony
and
Treason
,
yet
it
cannot
be
inferred
from
hence
,
with
any
colour
of
reason
,
that
you
or
any
other
King
could
intirely
suspend
the
Execution
of
those
Laws
relating
to
Fellony
or
Treason
,
unless
,
Sir
,
your
villainous
Judges
could
have
proved
by
any
other
Authority
,
than
barely
their
Opinions
that
you
were
cloathed
with
a
Dispotick
and
Arbitrary
Power
,
and
that
the
Lives
and
Liberties
,
Honours
and
Estates
of
the
People
of
England
,
did
depend
wholly
upon
your
good
Will
and
Pleasure
,
and
were
intirely
subject
to
you
,
which
must
infallibly
follow
on
your
having
a
Power
to
suspend
the
Execution
of
the
Laws
,
and
to
dispence
with
them
.
It
may
be
Sir
,
some
of
your
Dispensers
may
say
,
That
you
were
not
well
informed
when
you
took
the
Coronation-Oath
to
maintain
the
Laws
of
the
Land
,
and
that
you
had
prejudiced
your self
greatly
by
yielding
to
the
Oath
,
and
that
you
had
weakened
your
Authority
too
much
in
submitting
your self
to
the
observation
of
those
Laws
.
These
things
were
much
talked
of
by
some
of
your
Bully
Conspirators
,
when
they
little
dreamed
of
your
taking
the
Air
at
St.
Germains
:
Nay
,
some
of
the
Devils
Brokers
roared
this
out
of
their
Pulpits
by
the
direction
of
Old
Hodge
their
guide
.
But
,
Sir
,
I
pray
,
inform
me
how
it
could
be
that
you
should
not
be
well
informed
,
when
you
yielded
to
take
the
Oath
at
your
Coronation
to
observe
,
and
keep
the
Laws
of
the
Land
?
It
is
impossible
that
you
should
be
ignorant
of
that
which
all
the
World
knew
,
and
all
your
Predecessors
before
you
;
as
it
was
almost
impossible
that
you
should
not
be
acquainted
with
the
Oath
that
you
were
to
take
,
and
the
Laws
you
were
to
preserve
by
that
Oath
.
So
this
,
know
that
you
were
bound
to
those
Laws
immediately
upon
taking
the
Oath
;
and
I
wonder
much
that
you
should
be
a
stranger
to
the
Coronation
Oath
,
and
to
the
Laws
by
which
you
were
to
defend
your
Government
that
had
been
twenty
four
Years
a
looker
on
in
the
Reign
of
your
Brother
.
Therefore
this
Plea
is
as
frivilous
,
as
the
Opinion
of
your
never
to
be
forgiven
Judges
was
Impudent
and
against
Law
.
But
this
is
one
of
the
madest
Thoughts
that
ever
you
,
or
your
villainous
Judges
could
be
guilty
of
,
that
it
was
a
blemish
to
the
Sovereign
Power
of
the
Kings
of
England
to
submit
to
the
Laws
.
I
pray
,
Sir
,
What
blemish
would
it
have
been
to
your
Sovereign
Power
to
have
submitted
to
the
Laws
of
your
Countrey
,
which
your
Predecessors
were
contented
to
acknowledge
and
observe
?
You
derived
your
Authority
to
your self
by
virtue
of
the
Laws
?
Why
then
was
the
Observation
of
the
Laws
such
a
prejudice
to
you
and
your
Sovereign
Power
?
But
we
saw
the
Laws
broken
,
and
you
forsworn
,
and
your
Subjects
deposed
you
.
In
this
,
I
am
sure
,
you
have
found
a
greater
blemish
and
prejudice
,
than
the
observation
of
the
Laws
would
have
been
.
But
to
be
short
,
you
may
plead
for
your self
and
your
Judges
,
That
were
under
a
necessity
and
an
urgent
occasion
.
Well
,
What
was
that
necessity
?
What
were
those
urgent
occasions
that
could
put
you
upon
forswearing
your self
,
and
bringing
your self
under
the
guilt
of
Perjury
.
In
truth
,
Sir
,
your
necessity
you
lay
under
,
was
the
subversion
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
bringing
in
Popery
,
and
the
subversion
of
the
Civil
Government
,
and
bringing
in
Tyranny
and
Slavery
.
Is
not
Perjury
a
most
grievous
Offence
,
but
much
more
grievous
when
it
is
voluntarily
committed
?
And
then
a
King
committeh
Perjury
willingly
when
he
doth
any
thing
willingly
against
the
Oath
he
hath
taken
,
not
by
force
but
by
freewil
,
not
unadvisedly
but
with
great
consideration
,
not
to
his
hurt
but
to
his
advantage
,
not
to
perform
a
thing
that
was
impossible
or
dishonest
,
but
to
bind
himself
to
a
condition
that
is
honest
and
possible
too
.
Now
when
a
King
breaketh
such
an
Oath
,
there
can
be
no
colour
or
pretence
of
necessity
,
or
urgent
occasions
to
excuse
his
Perjury
.
4.
That
the
King
of
England
is
sole
Judge
of
that
necessity
.
I
never
took
you
so
much
behind
hand
in
Sense
and
Reason
,
but
that
you
might
plainly
see
that
this
is
but
a
bantre
of
these
Rogues
,
for
they
neither
stated
the
necessity
and
the
urgent
occasions
you
had
to
forswear
your self
,
and
never
inquired
whether
any
necessity
,
or
any
urgent
occasions
could
excuse
you
from
lying
under
the
guilt
of
Perjury
.
Then
they
came
off
with
an
impudent
lye
,
and
say
the
King
is
sole
Judge
of
that
necessity
.
He
is
sole
Judge
of
nothing
but
what
he
is
intitled
to
by
the
Law
;
where
the
Law
makes
him
a
sole
Judge
there
I
do
,
and
own
my self
bound
to
obey
him
as
such
.
But
once
more
,
Sir
,
Where
was
this
necessity
of
which
you
were
to
be
sole
Judge
?
When
did
it
spring
?
Out
of
what
part
of
the
World
?
I
believe
,
if
you
could
have
convinced
the
Nation
of
this
necessity
,
and
these
urgent
occasions
,
they
would
not
so
readily
concurred
to
your
going
to
St.
Germains
,
were
your
Popish
Friends
oppressed
.
And
did
the
necessity
arise
from
thence
?
If
it
did
,
Why
did
you
not
tell
the
Parliament
of
this
Oppression
?
Were
they
in
want
of
Places
at
Court
,
and
Imployments
under
you
,
which
they
could
not
hold
?
Truly
a
great
many
Protestants
went
without
them
,
notwithstanding
their
being
qualified
.
Oh!
but
the
Priests
of
the
Church
of
Rome
were
in
danger
of
the
Law
.
I
never
could
yet
see
that
day
.
If
they
would
be
quiet
,
and
the
Religion
of
the
Church
of
Rome
was
your
Religion
:
Well
,
if
it
was
,
Had
you
not
better
to
have
refused
the
Crown
rather
than
to
have
taken
it
with
such
Incumbrances
and
Clogs
,
as
should
expose
you
to
such
necessities
and
urgent
occasions
of
Perjuring
your self
,
and
Damning
your
Soul
,
and
Ruining
of
three
Kingdoms
?
It
was
well
you
were
the
sole
Judge
of
the
necessity
;
for
if
an
honest
English
Parliament
had
sat
in
the
time
of
your
necessity
and
urgent
occasions
,
they
would
have
made
these
Rogues
have
swung
for
their
villainous
Advice
.
5.
That
this
is
not
in
Trust
given
to
the
King
,
but
the
Antient
Remains
of
the
Crown
,
which
never
was
,
nor
can
be
taken
from
him
;
you
,
nor
no
King
in
England
,
ever
had
any
thing
but
what
you
received
in
Trust
from
the
People
of
England
in
Parliament
assembled
,
therefore
this
was
the
greatest
of
Impudence
that
these
Twelve
ignorant
Devils
could
be
guilty
of
,
for
what
Authority
,
Power
,
or
Riches
,
have
the
Kings
of
England
,
but
what
they
received
from
the
People
:
and
it
is
plain
the
Power
and
Authority
that
you
received
was
for
the
benefit
of
the
People
,
and
not
for
the
ruin
and
destruction
of
the
Laws
you
consented
to
;
you
were
intrusted
with
the
Conservation
of
them
,
not
to
Suspend
,
or
Dispense
with
them
at
your
will
and
pleasure
.
But
what
King
of
England
was
there
,
since
the
pretended
Conqest
,
that
was
not
Sworn
to
keep
the
Laws
,
and
defend
the
Rights
and
Liberties
of
the
Church
and
People
of
England
?
and
who
Administred
this
Oath
to
them
?
but
one
or
more
,
in
the
behalf
of
themselves
and
all
the
People
of
England
.
Your
Brother
,
though
bad
enough
,
took
the
Government
as
a
trust
reposed
in
him
by
his
good
People
of
England
,
what
part
was
it
then
that
was
not
a
Trust
?
they
trusted
him
with
vast
sums
of
money
,
they
trusted
you
but
with
a
very
little
.
I
pray
Sir
,
would
your
Scoundril
Conspirators
but
tell
me
what
parts
were
the
Remains
of
the
Crown
,
and
how
they
came
so
to
be
;
if
they
cannot
it
is
all
Cheat
and
Nonsence
.
By
your
management
(
notwithstanding
all
that
might
have
been
said
to
the
contrary
,
even
in
your
Reign
,
without
the
danger
of
being
hanged
,
)
you
obtained
from
your
Judges
this
wicked
Opinion
.
I
suppose
you
were
not
Idle
,
but
was
resolved
to
proceed
according
to
this
Judgment
of
theirs
;
for
you
presently
invaded
the
Liberties
both
of
Church
and
State
.
I
have
given
you
some
instances
of
your
Invasion
upon
the
Rights
of
the
People
of
England
,
in
relation
to
Matters
of
the
Church
.
Now
let
us
proceed
to
see
how
you
carried
your self
in
reference
to
the
Civil
Rights
and
Liberties
of
the
People
of
England
,
which
brings
me
to
a
second
Instance
of
your
invading
our
Civil
Rights
.
2.
As
your
Brother
did
begin
,
and
made
a
very
great
Progress
in
,
so
you
went
on
to
invade
Priviledges
,
and
to
seize
the
Charters
of
the
Towns
that
had
a
right
to
be
represented
in
Parliament
;
and
by
your
Tools
procured
Surrenders
of
them
to
be
made
to
you
,
especially
where
they
were
poor
,
and
not
able
to
defend
them
.
And
a
Gentleman
that
valued
himself
upon
his
Oath
that
he
had
made
to
a
Corporation
,
whereof
he
was
a
Magistrate
,
and
therefore
refused
to
deliver
the
same
;
you
rewarded
him
with
a
two
or
three
years
imprisonment
,
and
had
not
God
interposed
,
it
had
been
to
the
ruin
of
himself
,
his
Wife
and
Children
.
By
these
Surrenders
,
Sir
,
you
caused
all
the
Magistrates
to
give
up
their
Rights
and
Priviledges
,
to
be
disposed
of
at
your
pleasure
,
and
the
pleasure
of
your
Villains
the
Conspirators
;
and
by
this
means
you
placed
in
several
of
these
Towns
Popish
Magistrates
,
notwithstanding
their
incapacity
,
or
such
as
were
Popishly
affected
,
and
willing
to
concur
with
you
in
all
your
evil
Designs
and
Purposes
,
assuring
your self
,
that
when
necessity
,
or
your
urgent
Occasions
should
force
you
to
call
a
Parliament
,
you
might
have
such
a
Parliament
returned
as
should
at
once
set
up
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Power
.
Nay
,
Sir
,
our
danger
in
your
time
,
and
in
the
time
of
your
loving
and
kind
Brother
,
did
most
(
and
doth
still
)
arise
from
those
Beggarly
and
Paltry
Borroughs
that
either
are
by
Charter
or
Prescription
enabled
to
send
Members
to
Parliament
.
3.
That
you
might
not
fail
in
the
Counties
of
obtaining
your
wicked
ends
,
you
gave
Orders
to
Examin
all
Lords
Lieutenants
,
Deputy
Lieutenants
,
Sheriffs
,
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
and
all
other
that
were
in
any
Publick
Employments
,
if
they
would
Concur
with
you
in
the
Repealing
the
Test
and
Penal
Laws
;
and
those
whose
Consciences
would
not
permit
them
to
comply
with
your
wicked
Designs
and
Purposes
were
turned
out
,
and
others
who
you
found
would
be
more
compliant
to
you
in
your
intentions
,
in
defeating
the
End
and
Execution
of
those
Laws
which
had
been
made
with
so
much
Care
and
Caution
,
to
preserve
not
only
the
Protestant
Religion
,
but
also
our
Civil
Rights
and
Liberties
;
and
into
many
of
those
places
you
put
in
Papists
,
and
other
persons
of
Arbitrary
Principles
;
notwithstanding
the
Law
had
incapacitated
the
former
,
and
the
other
for
want
of
Reputation
and
Interest
could
do
their
Country
but
little
Service
;
unless
,
like
Devils
,
they
could
do
mischief
by
serving
your
Designs
,
and
the
Purposes
of
your
Conspirators
:
so
that
this
Nation
was
in
a
deplorable
Condition
,
and
must
have
perished
had
not
God
raised
up
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
now
our
King
,
to
come
over
and
deliver
us
out
of
your
Hands
.
4.
As
your
Brother
in
his
time
hated
the
Peoples
Petitioning
him
for
the
redress
of
their
Grievances
,
and
had
a
Set
of
Men
ready
to
Abhor
and
Detest
such
Popular
Petitions
,
though
it
was
the
Subjects
Right
to
Petition
the
King
for
the
redress
of
Grievances
,
under
which
they
groaned
in
his
Reign
.
So
you
was
pleased
to
shew
your
aversness
to
Petitioning
;
witness
your
proceeding
against
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
the
other
Bishops
,
who
offered
a
most
humble
Petition
to
you
in
terms
full
of
Respect
,
and
exceeded
not
the
number
limited
by
Law
,
in
which
they
set
forth
their
Reasons
for
which
they
could
not
obey
a
certain
Order
;
which
you
,
by
the
Advice
of
your
Popish
Villains
,
sent
them
to
appoint
their
Clergy
to
Read
in
their
Chruches
,
the
Declaration
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
they
were
sent
to
Prison
;
and
afterwards
brought
to
a
Tryal
,
as
if
they
had
been
guilty
of
some
enormous
Crime
,
they
were
not
only
obliged
to
defend
themselves
under
this
Persecution
;
but
also
to
appear
before
four
Villains
,
one
Professed
Papist
,
and
the
other
three
had
not
taken
the
Test
,
and
by
Consequence
were
Men
whose
Interest
and
Inclination
too
led
them
to
Condemn
them
.
And
the
Judges
that
gave
their
Opinion
in
favour
of
those
Prelates
were
turned
out
;
thus
you
may
see
a
fourth
Instance
you
have
given
us
of
your
invading
our
Civil
Rights
.
But
,
Sir
,
while
I
speak
to
you
of
these
things
,
give
me
leave
to
plead
with
you
,
What
King
was
there
that
ever
reigned
that
was
too
great
to
be
petitioned
by
the
meanest
of
his
Subjects
?
It
cannot
be
pretended
that
any
Kings
how
great
soever
their
Power
hath
been
,
and
how
Arbitrary
and
Dispotick
they
have
been
in
the
exercise
of
this
Power
,
have
ever
reckoned
it
a
Crime
for
their
Subjects
to
come
with
all
submission
and
respect
,
in
a
due
number
,
not
exceeding
the
limits
of
the
Law
,
to
represent
Reasons
why
they
could
not
execute
such
,
or
such
an
Order
.
Deal
freely
with
the
World
,
send
to
your
Dispensing
Rogues
,
and
ask
them
whether
it
were
one
of
the
remains
of
the
Crown
that
impowered
you
to
wrest
out
of
the
Hands
of
the
Subject
this
undoubted
Right
of
Petitioning
the
Prince
for
theredress
of
Grieveances
?
5.
How
did
you
treat
a
Peer
of
this
Realm
?
Was
he
not
used
by
you
,
and
your
villanious
Conspirators
as
a
Criminal
,
only
because
he
said
,
That
the
Subjects
were
not
bound
to
obey
the
Orders
of
a
Popish
Justice
of
the
Peace
?
Tho
it
was
evident
that
such
being
by
Law
rendred
uncapable
of
all
such
Trusts
:
No
regard
was
due
to
any
of
their
Orders
.
This
being
the
security
which
the
People
of
England
had
,
and
still
have
by
the
Law
,
for
their
Lives
,
Liberties
,
Honours
and
Estates
,
that
they
are
not
subjected
to
the
Arbitrary
Proceedings
of
Papists
,
that
were
contrary
to
Law
put
into
any
Imployment
Civil
or
Military
.
This
was
another
instance
of
the
invasion
you
made
upon
us
,
in
respect
of
our
Civil
Rights
and
Liberties
,
and
manifested
your self
to
be
a
Man
for
Arbitrary
Government
in
subjecting
our
Persons
and
Estates
to
the
Arbitrary
Proceedings
of
Popish
Magistrates
and
Officers
under
you
.
6.
You
apprehending
that
the
great
Remedy
of
your
Grievances
,
and
Security
of
our
Religion
was
a
Free
Parliament
;
and
least
you
might
lie
under
a
necessity
of
calling
one
,
you
and
your
Accomplices
did
endeavour
to
make
it
impossible
,
or
at
least
very
difficult
to
be
obtained
;
for
you
could
not
but
apprehend
that
a
Lawful
Parliament
being
once
Assembled
,
would
call
you
and
your
Villains
to
an
account
for
all
your
open
Violations
of
the
Law
,
and
for
your
Plots
and
Conspiracies
against
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
Lives
and
Liberties
of
the
People
of
England
,
you
endeavoured
,
under
the
specious
pretence
of
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
first
to
sow
Divisions
between
the
Protestants
of
the
Church
of
England
,
and
Protestant
Dissenters
;
the
Design
being
laid
to
engage
all
Protestants
that
are
equally
concerned
to
preserve
themselves
from
Popish
Oppression
into
mutual
Quarrellings
.
So
that
by
these
some
Advantages
might
be
taken
by
you
to
bring
about
your
Villainous
Designs
and
Purposes
,
and
that
both
in
the
Election
of
Members
of
Parliament
,
and
afterwards
in
the
Parliament
it self
;
for
you
could
not
but
see
,
that
if
all
Protestants
did
enter
into
a
mutual
good
understanding
one
with
another
,
and
concur
together
in
the
preserving
our
Civil
Rights
and
Liberties
,
that
it
would
have
been
possible
for
you
and
your
Banditti
to
accomplish
your
wicked
Ends.
What
could
we
expect
from
you
,
when
you
struck
at
the
Foundation
of
all
our
Civil
Rights
and
Liberties
,
in
the
hindring
the
Nation
of
the
Choice
of
a
Free
and
Lawful
Parliament
?
For
did
you
not
require
all
Persons
,
in
the
several
Counties
of
England
,
that
either
were
in
any
Imployment
,
or
were
in
any
considerable
Esteem
,
to
declare
before
hand
that
they
would
concur
in
the
repeal
of
the
Test
and
the
Penal
Laws
,
and
that
they
would
give
their
Voices
in
the
Elections
to
Parliament
,
only
for
such
as
would
concur
in
it
?
such
as
would
not
thus
pre-engage
themselves
were
turned
out
of
all
Imployments
,
and
others
who
entred
into
these
Engagements
were
put
into
their
Places
;
many
of
which
are
Papists
,
and
contrary
to
the
Charters
and
Priviledges
of
those
Burroughs
,
that
have
a
right
to
send
Burgesses
to
Parliament
.
You
ordered
such
Regulations
to
be
made
as
you
thought
fit
and
necessary
for
the
assuring
your self
,
and
your
villainous
Conspirators
,
of
all
the
Members
that
were
to
be
chosen
by
those
Corporations
;
and
by
this
means
you
gave
your self
,
and
Tribe
,
hope
to
avoid
the
being
called
to
an
account
for
your
Villanies
:
though
it
was
then
,
and
is
still
apparent
that
all
Acts
made
by
Popish
Magistrates
are
Null
and
Void
of
themselves
;
so
that
no
Parliament
could
have
been
lawful
,
for
which
Elections
and
Returns
had
been
made
by
your
Popish
Sheriffs
,
and
Mayors
of
Towns
;
and
therefore
,
as
long
as
the
Authority
and
Magistracy
was
in
such
Hands
,
it
was
impossible
for
us
to
have
had
a
Lawful
and
a
Free
Parliament
.
You
might
have
known
that
the
Constitution
of
the
English
Government
and
Custom
,
time
out
of
mind
.
All
Elections
of
Parliament
Men
ought
to
be
made
with
an
intire
Liberty
,
without
any
sort
of
force
,
or
the
requiring
the
Electors
to
choose
such
persons
as
should
be
named
to
them
;
and
the
persons
thus
freely
Elected
ought
to
give
their
Opinions
freely
upon
all
Matters
that
are
brought
before
them
,
they
having
the
good
of
the
Nation
before
their
Eyes
,
and
following
in
all
things
the
dictates
of
their
Consciences
.
Therefore
you
having
usurped
an
illegal
Authority
,
and
resolving
upon
the
utmost
Violations
of
our
Laws
,
you
would
not
give
us
the
least
hopes
of
having
our
Grievances
redressed
by
a
Free
Parliament
legally
called
and
chosen
.
It
is
true
,
you
would
have
called
one
in
which
all
Elections
should
have
been
carried
by
Fraud
and
Force
,
and
might
have
been
composed
of
such
persons
of
whom
you
and
your
Trayterous
Crew
would
have
been
well
assured
,
in
which
all
things
would
have
been
carried
on
by
their
Direction
and
Interest
,
without
any
regard
to
the
Good
and
Welfare
of
this
Nation
,
which
I
prove
to
you
and
your
Villainous
Crew
,
both
at
home
and
abroad
.
For
did
you
not
try
the
Members
of
the
pack'd
Parliament
,
that
sat
down
in
the
Year
1685
,
to
gain
them
to
consent
to
the
repeal
of
the
Test
and
Penal
Laws
?
And
did
you
not
dissolve
that
Parliament
when
you
found
that
you
could
neither
by
Promises
,
nor
by
Threatnings
prevail
with
these
very
Members
to
comply
with
your
wicked
Designs
;
and
those
who
would
not
comply
were
branded
,
as
if
they
were
Disturbers
of
the
publick
Peace
?
For
you
may
remember
,
that
though
the
Prince
and
Princess
of
Orange
did
endeavour
to
signifie
in
terms
full
of
Respects
and
Duty
to
your self
,
the
just
and
deep
regret
all
your
wicked
and
ungodly
Proceedings
had
given
them
;
and
in
compliance
to
your
desires
they
had
signified
their
Thoughts
concerning
your
Repealing
the
Penal
Laws
and
Test
,
which
though
they
did
it
in
such
a
manner
that
they
had
just
Ground
of
hope
,
that
they
had
proposed
an
Expedient
by
which
the
Peace
of
England
,
Scotland
and
Ireland
,
and
a
happy
Agreement
among
the
Subjects
of
all
Perswasions
might
have
been
certainly
settled
.
You
and
your
Hellborn
Crew
put
such
Villainous
Constructions
upon
their
honest
and
sincere
Intentions
,
as
that
you
were
not
ashamed
to
condemn
them
both
as
persons
that
designed
to
disturb
the
Quiet
and
Happiness
of
the
Kingdom
.
But
,
Sir
,
the
people
of
England
always
Testified
a
most
singular
Affection
and
Esteem
for
the
Prince
and
Princess
of
Orange
,
as
persons
zealously
Affected
with
,
and
concerned
for
the
Advancement
of
the
Protestant
Religion
and
Interest
;
and
therefore
many
of
the
Lords
Spiritual
and
Temporal
,
and
many
Gentlemen
,
and
other
persons
of
Note
,
laid
our
miserable
Case
before
them
,
and
beged
their
Aid
and
Assistance
.
The
Prince
of
Orange
upon
due
consideration
of
our
deplorable
State
,
to
which
we
were
brought
by
you
and
your
wicked
Accomplices
,
found
that
in
point
of
that
Duty
he
owed
to
God
,
and
in
return
of
the
great
Value
the
people
of
England
had
for
him
,
that
he
could
no
way
excuse
himself
from
espousing
our
Cause
or
Quarrel
in
a
Matter
of
such
high
Consequence
,
and
from
Contributing
to
the
utmost
of
his
Power
,
for
the
maintaining
both
of
our
Religion
,
and
our
Laws
,
and
our
Liberties
,
and
to
secure
us
in
the
perpetual
Enjoyment
of
all
our
Rights
.
Therefore
he
came
over
with
a
Force
sufficient
,
which
through
the
Blessing
of
the
Great
God
,
was
sufficient
to
suppress
you
and
your
villainous
Conspirators
.
You
know
,
Sir
,
that
as
you
and
your
Conspirators
were
not
only
full
of
Cruelty
,
and
Guilty
of
the
greatest
Inhumanities
and
Barbarities
.
So
you
and
they
were
full
of
lies
and
deceit
;
for
upon
the
coming
over
of
this
Great
Prince
,
you
were
sensible
of
the
Greatness
of
your
Guilt
,
and
had
no
great
Confidence
in
your
own
Forces
,
which
induced
you
to
offer
to
the
City
of
London
some
seeming
Relief
from
their
great
Oppression
,
you
hoping
thereby
to
beguile
us
of
a
firm
Establishment
,
and
full
Security
of
our
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Religion
;
and
finding
that
the
Kingdoms
Eyes
were
fully
opened
,
then
you
and
your
Hellborn
Crew
gave
out
,
with
as
much
Mallice
as
Falseness
,
that
the
Prince
of
Orange
intended
to
Conquer
and
Enslave
the
Nation
.
No
,
Sir
,
the
Design
of
that
mighty
Deliverer
was
the
security
of
our
enjoying
our
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
,
and
that
there
might
be
no
danger
of
the
Kingdoms
relapsing
into
the
like
Miseries
for
the
time
to
come
.
Well
,
Sir
,
you
remember
that
the
Prince
arrives
and
you
fled
before
him
.
He
no
sooner
comes
but
he
was
bid
welcome
by
all
True
Protestants
.
You
run
away
.
A
Convention
was
called
,
and
he
,
to
our
great
Joy
,
was
chosen
our
King
.
A
Parliament
sits
down
,
and
his
Majesty
joyned
with
them
in
making
such
Laws
,
as
have
secured
us
and
our
All
;
he
Fights
our
Battles
;
he
Loves
our
Nation
;
and
we
Love
our
King
,
and
we
shall
not
refuse
any
thing
that
may
be
for
his
Honour
,
Greatness
,
and
Content
.
You
are
deposed
as
useless
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
driven
from
amongst
Protestants
to
graze
at
St.
Germains
,
where
you
may
take
your
ease
till
the
French
King
shall
be
as
weary
of
your
Company
,
as
we
were
of
your
Wicked
and
Tyrannical
Government
.
You
have
made
many
attempts
to
be
restored
;
sometimes
you
Threaten
us
,
at
other
times
you
would
Flatter
us
to
a
second
Entertainment
;
but
that
is
but
a
foolish
thought
of
your
Counsellers
at
St.
Germains
,
which
brings
me
to
the
last
point
of
my
Memorial
,
which
is
to
shew
you
,
3.
The
Unreasonableness
of
your
attempting
of
your
Return
hither
,
on
which
particulars
I
hope
you
have
leisure
enough
to
reflect
,
and
to
advise
about
with
your
worthy
Ministry
you
have
attending
your
Person
there
;
but
least
they
should
not
have
Honour
and
Honesty
enough
to
deal
plainly
with
you
,
I
will
lay
down
Six
undeniable
Arguments
,
why
it
is
morally
impossible
that
you
should
be
ever
readmitted
to
reign
over
us
.
1.
Because
we
cannot
bind
you
by
the
most
Solemn
Oaths
.
2.
Because
we
are
Protestants
.
3.
Because
we
are
English-men
.
And
,
4.
Because
we
are
Free-men
.
5.
Because
we
have
a
King
of
our
own
Religion
and
Judgment
,
to
whom
we
have
sworn
Allegiance
,
who
goeth
out
and
in
before
us
,
and
fights
our
Battles
for
us
.
6.
Because
of
your
Attempt
upon
the
Person
of
our
King
,
in
employing
your
Traiterous
Assassins
to
murder
him
.
1.
Because
we
cannot
bind
you
by
the
most
Solemn
Oaths
;
we
saw
our
Laws
over-turned
,
our
Liberties
seized
,
our
Religion
corrupted
and
subverted
,
and
you
Forsworn
:
The
Laws
of
Nature
taught
us
to
provide
for
the
defence
of
our
All
which
was
at
Stake
.
And
can
any
Man
think
it
hard
that
the
Kingdom
laid
you
aside
?
And
we
laying
you
aside
for
the
Breach
of
your
Contract
and
Oath
,
made
to
the
People
of
England
;
Can
you
expect
that
we
should
in
the
least
be
guilty
of
so
base
a
Compliance
,
as
to
submit
our selves
to
the
Government
of
a
Man
,
that
by
his
Abominable
Perjury
dissolved
his
own
Government
?
You
have
time
now
to
consider
that
Perjury
in
a
King
is
a
most
Grievous
Offence
against
God
and
his
Own
Crown
and
Dignity
,
but
much
more
Grievous
when
it
is
volantarily
committed
:
And
when
a
Prince
committeth
Perjury
willingly
,
when
he
doth
any
thing
willingly
against
his
Coronation-Oath
,
taken
not
by
Force
,
but
by
Free-will
,
not
unadvisedly
,
but
with
great
Consideration
,
not
to
his
Hurt
,
but
to
his
Advantage
,
not
to
perform
a
Thing
Dishonest
or
Impossible
,
but
that
which
is
both
Possible
and
Honest
:
For
when
a
Prince
(
not
being
forced
thereunto
by
just
Fear
or
irrisistible
Necessity
)
breaketh
such
an
Oath
as
there
can
be
no
colour
to
excuse
his
Perjury
,
it
arguing
him
and
convincing
him
of
Fraud
and
Deceit
,
and
gave
occasion
to
all
thinking
Men
that
you
had
no
manner
of
regard
to
your
Coronation-Oath
;
so
it
puts
you
under
an
absolute
Incapacity
of
being
Restored
,
since
the
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
upon
the
breach
you
made
of
your
Contract
,
have
thought
fit
to
lay
you
aside
,
as
a
Person
useless
and
dangerous
to
the
publick
Weal
of
the
Three
Kingdoms
.
Your
Pretences
therefore
to
the
Imperial
Crown
of
this
Realm
are
very
foolish
and
frivolous
,
for
by
the
Laws
of
all
Nations
,
you
having
been
guilty
of
the
most
notorious
Perjury
,
you
are
therefore
Infamous
;
and
the
Laws
of
your
own
Synagogue
say
that
no
Infamous
Person
is
fit
for
the
Execution
of
an
Office
of
Honour
and
Dignity
;
a
perjured
Man
is
always
repelled
from
bearing
witness
in
any
Cause
whatsoever
,
because
that
being
Convicted
to
have
Forsworn
himself
in
one
Cause
,
it
is
not
only
a
Presumption
,
but
a
sufficient
Proof
that
he
will
Depose
falsly
in
another
:
And
this
is
so
true
,
that
altho
he
hath
amended
his
Life
yet
he
cannot
be
admitted
for
a
Witness
be
it
either
in
a
Civil
or
a
Criminal
Cause
.
So
,
Sir
,
you
having
once
Forsworn
your Self
in
subverting
our
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
,
by
the
advice
of
a
parcel
of
Men
that
feared
not
God
,
nor
reverenced
Men
:
How
do
you
think
that
we
can
ever
trust
you
again
?
For
if
the
Nation
should
be
brought
under
such
dismal
and
deplorable
Circumstances
,
(
which
God
avert
)
as
once
more
to
submit
to
your
Administration
of
the
Government
;
it
would
not
only
be
a
strong
presumptive
Conclusion
,
but
Proof
that
admits
of
no
Objection
that
you
would
run
again
into
the
same
Enormities
,
if
not
worse
;
for
I
fear
,
and
so
do
all
True
Protestants
,
that
by
your
Crew
that
you
have
with
you
,
you
are
possessed
with
strange
and
very
vile
Opinions
:
And
these
are
such
as
have
not
only
in
times
past
,
but
are
still
entertained
by
you
,
and
your
villainous
Conspirators
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
about
the
Coronation
Oath
which
you
took
when
you
entered
upon
the
Administration
of
the
Government
of
this
Realm
.
And
they
are
these
Four
,
1.
That
Subjects
cannot
receive
an
Oath
of
their
Prince
without
the
Authority
of
some
Judge
;
and
that
a
Promise
made
before
no
competent
Judge
can
bind
any
Man
,
much
less
a
Prince
;
and
they
have
affirmed
that
this
was
your
Case
.
I
would
have
you
remember
,
Sir
,
that
he
that
administred
you
the
Oath
was
a
lawful
and
competent
Judge
,
because
that
Law
and
the
Custom
of
the
Realm
had
made
him
so
;
and
therefore
to
him
you
Swore
,
and
in
Swearing
to
him
you
Swore
to
the
whole
Nation
that
you
would
defend
their
Laws
and
Liberties
.
In
a
word
,
this
Coronation
Oath
you
took
was
a
lawful
Oath
,
and
not
only
so
but
it
was
lawfully
taken
,
as
well
because
general
Custom
hath
the
force
and
strength
of
a
Law
;
for
the
persons
present
do
stand
,
and
are
taken
by
general
Custom
to
have
Power
to
give
and
receive
that
Oath
.
But
a
bold
Assertor
of
your
Cause
was
pleased
once
to
tell
me
that
there
was
no
Parliament
in
being
when
you
took
this
Oath
;
What
then
?
When
you
took
the
Coronation
Oath
there
were
persons
(
who
upon
your
taking
the
Oath
)
that
did
take
the
Oath
of
Fealty
and
Homage
to
you
in
the
behalf
of
themselves
,
and
all
the
Nobility
,
and
Commons
of
England
;
and
this
Oath
must
avail
them
though
absent
,
as
though
they
were
present
;
and
if
they
were
to
be
bound
by
the
one
though
absent
,
then
certainly
you
were
bound
by
yours
though
they
were
not
present
.
2.
These
wicked
Conspirators
of
yours
have
Asserted
,
That
Princes
being
above
the
Law
are
not
bound
to
observe
Oaths
and
Contracts
,
which
have
their
full
force
and
strength
from
the
Law
;
and
that
Princes
may
alter
and
change
their
own
Laws
at
their
Pleasure
.
This
Doctrine
was
carefully
propogated
by
your
trusty
Roger
and
his
inferiour
Clergy
by
your
Direction
,
in
order
to
bring
about
that
wicked
Design
of
yours
of
Subverting
of
the
well
established
Government
of
this
Realm
,
and
introducing
French
Slavery
.
But
,
Sir
,
this
you
must
now
know
that
the
Princes
of
England
are
not
above
the
Law
,
and
therefore
cannot
alter
them
at
their
Pleasure
without
the
manifest
breach
of
their
Coronation
Oath
.
I
confess
,
they
may
by
their
Judges
interpret
the
Law
in
an
Interval
of
Parliament
,
and
in
time
of
Parliaments
:
The
Parliament
are
the
best
interpreters
of
the
Law
,
and
not
only
so
but
the
Kings
of
England
by
and
with
the
advice
and
consent
of
Parliament
,
and
by
the
Authority
of
the
same
,
may
Repeal
and
Abrogate
Laws
as
they
shall
think
fit
.
But
what
you
did
was
against
Laws
in
force
,
to
the
manifest
breach
of
your
Oath
,
and
you
rendered
your self
odious
to
God
,
and
dispenced
with
those
Laws
that
were
for
the
preservation
of
Persons
,
Honours
,
Estates
,
and
Religion
of
the
People
of
England
;
and
by
this
means
you
dissolved
the
Government
,
and
for
which
Cause
you
were
hated
of
the
People
;
and
at
last
the
Kingdom
departed
from
you
;
you
provoked
that
God
that
made
you
a
Man
,
and
that
People
that
made
you
a
King
.
But
,
Sir
,
your
trusty
Guide
Hodge
,
with
his
inferiour
Clergy
,
deceived
you
much
,
and
those
who
believed
this
Doctrine
,
when
they
taught
that
your
Oaths
made
to
,
and
contract
made
with
the
People
of
England
,
had
their
full
force
and
strength
from
the
Law
of
the
Land
;
for
they
had
their
strength
and
force
from
the
Law
of
Nature
which
binds
Kings
,
Princes
,
Lords
,
Priests
,
and
all
Men
whatever
.
Therefore
,
Sir
,
did
you
not
against
the
very
Laws
of
Nature
break
your
Contract
with
the
People
of
England
,
and
the
Oath
you
made
to
them
?
Doth
not
the
Law
of
Nature
oblige
all
Princes
to
keep
their
Contracts
even
with
their
Enemies
?
How
much
more
ought
you
to
have
kept
your
Contract
with
your
Friends
and
People
?
How
could
you
expect
to
wear
the
Name
of
an
honest
Man
,
since
that
the
Laws
of
Honesty
charge
Princes
to
keep
their
Oaths
and
Contracts
?
There
is
nothing
becomes
them
better
,
nothing
commendeth
them
more
,
and
nothing
that
Men
require
so
much
at
their
hands
.
In
the
last
place
,
Princes
Oaths
to
,
and
Contracts
with
their
Subjects
and
Allies
,
are
as
good
as
Laws
,
they
have
the
same
force
as
Laws
,
they
have
the
same
strength
and
vertue
against
their
Successours
which
they
have
against
themselves
;
nay
,
let
me
tell
you
,
that
they
are
of
greater
strength
than
Princes
Laws
;
for
Laws
may
be
Repealed
,
but
Contracts
can
never
be
Revoked
;
and
why
so
?
The
Reason
is
plain
,
That
Laws
may
alter
according
to
the
necessity
of
Affairs
,
but
Contracts
and
Oaths
can
never
be
Revoked
,
they
admit
of
no
Change
,
no
Alteration
;
if
once
perfected
they
can
neither
receive
Addition
,
Substraction
,
Diminution
,
or
Enlargement
,
they
must
not
be
wrested
but
taken
according
to
the
true
meaning
of
King
and
People
.
But
,
Sir
,
you
may
say
,
Why
may
not
Princes
break
their
Oaths
,
and
dissolve
their
Contracts
made
with
their
Subjects
at
their
Coronation
?
To
this
I
give
you
this
Answer
.
Before
you
had
Sworn
to
maintain
our
Laws
,
Liberties
and
Religion
,
you
were
free
;
and
before
you
made
a
Covenant
with
us
,
you
were
at
your
liberty
:
But
when
you
had
Sworn
,
and
when
you
had
perfected
your
Contract
,
then
of
necessity
you
were
bound
to
keep
and
perform
them
;
and
you
could
not
have
added
to
,
or
detracted
from
any
thing
in
such
a
manner
perfected
,
without
the
consent
of
the
people
with
whom
you
made
this
Contract
;
for
we
were
to
have
been
benefited
by
this
Oath
and
Contract
of
yours
,
and
not
deceived
again
.
If
Princes
may
break
their
Oaths
and
Contracts
made
to
,
and
with
their
Subjects
,
How
can
we
deal
with
such
a
King
?
How
can
we
tell
when
we
obey
?
We
must
be
then
at
great
uncertainties
,
and
so
by
consequenue
we
cannot
be
safe
.
Furthermore
,
Did
it
not
lye
at
your
door
to
have
preserved
your self
from
Scandal
and
Fraud
?
Of
which
you
took
no
care
;
therefore
you
made
no
Conscience
of
of
your
Oaths
and
Contracts
.
Again
,
Sir
,
we
must
suppose
you
to
be
a
reasonable
Creature
;
and
if
so
,
we
must
also
conclude
you
ought
to
have
submitted
to
Reason
,
that
you
might
have
,
at
least
have
had
the
reputation
of
a
Man
,
and
not
be
signalized
with
the
Character
of
a
filthy
Monstrous
Beast
.
Hence
it
is
that
Tyrants
,
in
sacred
Writ
,
are
called
Beasts
,
because
they
will
not
submit
to
,
nor
be
governed
by
the
Rules
of
right
Reason
.
In
the
last
place
,
Sir
,
other
Men
may
in
their
Oaths
and
Contracts
have
an
Eye
to
their
Profit
,
but
you
ought
to
have
had
an
Eye
to
your
Honour
,
and
to
have
had
an
especial
regard
thereof
.
Now
what
can
be
more
Dishonourable
in
a
King
,
than
to
break
his
Word
,
falsifie
his
Faith
,
and
violate
his
Contract
?
And
was
not
your
Word
,
Faith
and
Contract
confirmed
by
a
solemn
Oath
?
3.
There
was
a
third
Doctrine
that
was
much
promoted
by
your
Conspirators
,
that
although
Kings
should
be
strictly
bound
to
stand
to
their
Contracts
and
their
Oaths
;
yet
if
they
were
induced
to
make
a
Contract
,
and
to
take
an
Oath
in
things
wherein
they
were
not
well
informed
,
or
if
the
Contract
and
Oath
do
contain
things
too
much
derogating
,
or
diminishing
their
Jurisdiction
or
Authority
Royal
,
or
if
they
have
made
a
Promise
that
may
be
prejudicial
to
their
Greatness
,
they
may
then
lawfully
break
their
Contract
,
Faith
and
Oath
.
This
Doctrine
was
very
industriously
spread
about
by
your
Party
,
especially
by
your
Jesuits
and
your
Jesuited
Papists
,
and
Passive
Obedience
Men.
But
certainly
,
Sir
,
your
Conspirators
represented
your
understanding
to
be
but
of
Irish
Standard
,
and
to
be
of
the
same
Scantling
with
their
Honesty
.
Give
me
leave
to
ask
you
this
one
fair
Question
,
Was
you
not
well
informed
what
you
were
to
do
,
and
what
you
did
promise
to
do
when
you
took
the
Coronation
Oath
to
defend
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
preserve
and
maintain
the
Laws
of
the
Realm
,
and
by
them
to
govern
this
great
People
you
took
the
Charge
of
?
Can
any
Man
think
,
Sir
,
that
you
should
be
the
only
Man
that
was
Ignorant
of
that
which
all
the
Nation
knew
,
and
what
your
Grand-father
,
Father
and
Brother
had
done
before
you
?
Where
,
Sir
,
was
the
Dishonour
or
Blemish
that
might
fall
upon
you
,
if
you
had
kept
your
Oath
,
and
made
the
Laws
of
the
Land
the
Rule
of
your
Government
?
If
you
had
been
a
good
King
,
you
would
have
delighted
to
have
been
bound
by
the
Laws
of
the
Land
,
and
have
rejoyced
the
Hearts
of
the
People
of
England
;
and
then
you
would
not
have
at
this
time
have
been
obliged
to
France
for
your
Subsistance
.
But
,
Sir
,
God
in
his
just
Judgment
gave
you
up
to
believe
these
lies
,
and
therefore
you
violated
those
Laws
by
which
you
were
Sworn
to
govern
,
to
gratifie
your
Popish
Hellborn
Crew
;
they
have
got
you
to
themselves
.
We
have
a
King
that
thinks
it
no
Blemish
to
his
Regal
Authority
,
to
maintain
and
keep
our
Laws
,
he
judges
it
no
Dishonour
to
preserve
the
Liberties
of
his
People
,
and
their
Honours
and
Estates
:
You
have
the
reward
of
your
Unrighteousness
,
I
wish
you
much
Joy
of
it
.
4.
Some
of
the
Doctors
and
Casuists
of
your
Synagogue
of
Rome
say
,
that
Princes
who
may
dispense
with
others
may
give
a
sufficient
Dispensation
to
themselves
,
and
so
revoke
their
Contracts
and
break
their
Oaths
;
for
that
they
have
Might
,
and
Power
,
and
Authority
;
there
is
no
Law
,
no
Judge
that
can
compel
them
to
keep
their
Oaths
,
and
observe
their
Contracts
.
It
is
manifest
that
you
did
take
upon
you
to
dispense
with
others
,
and
to
give
your self
a
Dispensation
too
;
and
we
own
that
we
were
not
then
in
a
Condition
to
call
you
to
an
Account
;
but
you
were
Admonished
very
often
by
the
best
and
greatest
of
your
Subjects
,
to
reform
all
that
was
amiss
:
But
after
all
this
Admonition
,
you
did
remain
incorrigible
;
then
what
could
we
do
but
make
your
Actions
,
Cruelties
and
Tyrannies
,
and
Perjury
known
to
the
World
.
And
we
implored
the
Aid
and
Help
not
of
the
French
King
,
but
William
Prince
of
Orange
,
who
came
and
suppressed
you
as
an
incorrigible
Oppressor
and
Tyrant
.
And
your
Party
appearing
bare-faced
to
murther
our
King
,
and
invade
the
Kingdom
with
a
Foreign
Force
,
in
order
to
enslave
us
,
will
be
treated
as
Villains
and
Common
Rogues
,
and
receive
the
just
recompence
of
Reward
for
all
their
Treasonable
Conspiracies
against
our
King
,
and
the
well
established
Government
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
.
To
conclude
this
point
,
How
detestable
and
odious
hath
your
Perjury
made
you
,
it
hath
excluded
you
from
that
great
Honour
to
which
you
arrived
,
and
it
hath
removed
you
from
your
native
Country
;
in
a
word
it
hath
clothed
you
with
so
much
infamy
,
that
it
is
impossible
for
you
to
attain
that
Honour
,
Power
and
Authority
,
and
Majesty
you
have
lost
?
And
therefore
it
is
highly
unreasonable
for
you
,
or
your
Conspirators
ever
to
attempt
your
Restauration
.
2.
As
your
Perjur
is
an
argument
why
it
is
not
only
impossible
for
you
to
be
restored
,
and
folly
for
you
to
attempt
it
,
so
in
the
second
place
we
are
Protestants
;
And
what
can
a
Popish
Apostate
do
at
the
head
of
a
Protestant
Interest
?
The
Popish
Queen
Mary
she
no
sooner
obtained
the
Crown
,
by
a
Protestant
Interest
,
but
she
destroyed
that
very
Interest
by
which
she
was
advanced
to
the
Throne
.
This
we
well
remember
,
Sir
;
and
we
need
not
burn
our
Fingers
again
the
third
time
.
Suppose
,
Sir
,
that
we
should
have
so
little
sense
as
to
try
you
once
more
,
and
should
succeed
;
What
Monsters
must
we
appear
to
the
World
,
a
Body
of
Protestants
with
a
Popish
Head
?
This
doth
much
astonish
me
,
that
our
little
Prick-ear'd
Priests
of
the
Church
of
England
have
so
much
admired
your
Cause
,
and
pleaded
it
with
such
earnestness
;
when
as
they
cannot
but
conclude
that
you
must
of
necessity
deal
by
the
Church
of
England
,
as
you
would
with
an
impudent
Harlot
.
Your
Brother
was
careless
in
the
maintenance
of
our
Religion
,
because
he
was
a
Papist
,
though
a
loose
one
:
And
can
we
otherwise
conclude
but
you
who
have
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
places
whereever
you
have
come
,
shewed
your self
a
bigotted
Papist
,
will
not
only
discountenance
the
Protestant
Religion
,
but
destroy
it
with
all
that
Zeal
that
is
consistent
with
the
Principles
of
a
perverse
Member
of
the
Romish
Synagogue
.
You
in
the
time
of
your
short
Tyranny
made
a
sad
Havock
with
the
Protestant
Religion
;
and
can
we
expect
better
usuage
from
you
,
seeing
you
having
Seven
Devils
more
within
you
rageing
against
the
Protestant
Interest
than
you
had
before
you
left
us
.
What
I
say
to
you
in
this
particular
,
I
speak
not
without
Witness
,
for
it
is
most
certain
that
you
have
,
and
do
to
this
very
day
entertain
a
very
great
aversness
to
any
Man
that
bears
the
name
of
a
Protestant
.
Therefore
since
by
your
late
behaviour
,
to
those
whose
Principles
have
led
them
to
espouse
your
Interest
,
and
have
followed
you
into
France
,
if
they
have
any
Sense
of
their
English
Liberties
,
and
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
will
abhor
the
thoughts
of
your
return
hither
:
For
if
you
appear
so
violent
against
our
Religion
now
you
are
under
so
great
an
estate
of
Sufferings
;
What
will
your
declared
Hatred
be
against
Protestants
here
in
England
,
if
we
should
admit
you
to
reign
over
us
?
For
if
you
can
presume
to
that
degree
of
Malice
,
as
to
deny
your
Protestant
Tools
your
Grace
and
Favour
at
St.
Germains
;
What
can
we
that
are
Protestants
expect
from
you
whenever
you
shall
return
?
Do
you
think
that
any
of
us
should
be
so
stupid
to
expect
fair
Quarter
from
you
,
since
your
very
Religion
lays
you
under
the
necessity
of
Converting
us
with
a
Fagot
,
and
bringing
us
to
your
Obedience
with
the
dint
of
a
Dagger
?
Nay
,
Sir
,
your
Passive
Obedience
Curs
fare
not
much
better
,
though
they
saved
you
from
your
being
prosecuted
for
your
being
deeply
interested
in
the
Popish
Plot
,
and
from
being
excluded
from
the
Succession
to
the
Imperial
Crown
of
this
Realm
,
and
also
from
being
beaten
out
of
the
Kingdom
by
the
late
Duke
of
MONMOVTH
.
What
reason
than
have
we
not
to
believe
that
you
will
not
only
in
general
invade
the
Protestant
Religion
,
but
also
once
again
attempt
the
depressing
the
Church
of
England
?
In
your
short
Reign
you
sent
Seven
Bishops
to
the
Tower
;
but
if
ever
you
should
return
I
will
not
excuse
the
whole
Twenty
Six
from
being
more
hardly
used
.
Upon
which
consideration
I
will
appeal
then
,
Sir
,
to
your
Judgment
,
or
the
Judgment
of
your
Friends
here
,
or
those
with
you
at
St.
Germains
,
whether
or
no
it
is
impossible
for
you
to
gain
so
great
a
Point
as
to
be
received
again
as
a
King
?
And
whether
it
would
not
be
the
greatest
Folly
or
Madness
in
you
,
or
any
of
your
Party
to
attempt
it
?
For
have
you
any
that
are
with
you
,
that
are
Protestants
,
upon
a
Principle
of
Conscience
,
How
have
you
used
and
treated
them
(
and
if
they
have
no
better
usage
from
you
since
they
follow
you
in
their
Afflictions
,
and
are
contented
to
share
with
you
in
your
Hardships
)
as
not
to
enjoy
the
Liberty
of
serving
God
according
to
their
Dictates
of
their
own
Conscience
?
How
must
it
fare
with
them
if
you
should
arrive
to
that
State
and
Condition
,
in
which
you
should
stand
in
no
need
of
them
?
And
if
so
,
What
can
we
expect
from
you
that
have
hated
your
Person
,
and
do
hunt
down
your
Cause
and
Interest
out
of
the
Nation
?
Therefore
the
Duty
that
we
owe
to
Almighty
God
,
and
the
Affection
and
Zeal
we
have
for
the
Protestant
Religion
,
will
oblige
us
to
pursue
you
as
a
Murderer
,
and
an
Assassin
of
the
People
of
England
,
and
a
Traytor
to
the
Nation
;
and
those
who
shall
be
found
fighting
under
your
Banner
will
be
used
as
Banditti
and
Robbers
,
and
Protestants
that
shall
not
have
the
benefit
of
Repentance
.
3.
Consider
we
are
English
Men
;
and
that
very
Consideration
might
satisfie
any
Man
that
will
but
consult
his
Reason
of
the
impossibility
of
your
being
restored
to
your
pretended
Right
,
and
of
the
folly
of
your
many
attempt
,
in
order
thereunto
.
Had
your
Interest
been
an
English
interest
,
than
your
Conspirators
might
have
had
some
colour
for
their
attempt
of
this
Nature
;
but
your
Interest
is
a
French
Interst
,
and
therefore
your
Interest
that
you
have
espoused
is
incompatible
,
or
inconsistent
with
your
being
restored
.
Here
are
two
Points
that
must
be
considered
.
1.
That
your
Interest
is
a
French
Interest
.
2.
That
a
French
Interest
is
not
consistent
with
your
Endeavours
after
a
Restoration
;
and
both
these
Points
fairly
proved
will
justifie
the
refusal
of
the
Kingdom
of
Englands
admitting
you
to
act
,
and
execute
the
Office
of
a
King
here
again
amongst
us

Your
Interest
is
not
an
English
but
a
French
Interest
;
for
as
you
followed
your
loving
and
kind
Brother
in
most
of
his
Vertues
,
so
you
persued
the
same
Interest
that
he
pursued
:
For
was
not
the
Interest
of
your
Brother
,
and
the
Interest
of
the
French
King
and
yours
inseperably
united
?
Knowing
(
saith
your
Quondam
Secretary
)
the
Interest
of
our
King
,
and
in
a
more
particular
manner
of
my
immediate
Master
the
Duke
,
and
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
,
to
be
so
inseperably
united
;
that
it
was
impossible
to
divide
them
without
destroying
them
all
.
Again
his
Majesty
[
the
French
King
]
was
pleased
to
give
Order
to
signifie
to
his
R.
H.
my
Master
,
that
his
Majesty
was
fully
satisfied
of
his
R.
H's
good
Intentions
towards
him
,
and
that
he
esteemed
both
their
Interests
but
as
one
and
the
same
,
and
that
my
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Parliament
were
both
looked
upon
as
very
unuseful
to
their
Interests
.
And
again
Father
Ferier
begged
his
R.
H.
to
propose
to
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
what
he
thought
necessary
for
his
own
Concern
,
and
the
advantage
of
Religion
;
and
his
Majesty
would
certainly
do
all
that
he
could
to
advance
both
,
or
either
of
them
.
—
I
communicated
it
to
his
R.
H.
to
which
his
R.
H.
commanded
me
to
answer
,
as
I
did
the
29th
of
the
same
Month.
That
his
R.
H.
was
very
sensible
of
his
Most
Christian
Majesty's
Friendship
,
and
that
he
would
labour
to
cultivate
it
with
all
the
good
Offices
he
was
capable
of
doing
his
Most
Christian
Majesty
.
That
he
was
fully
convinced
that
their
Interests
were
both
one
.
That
my
Lord
Arlington
and
the
Parliament
were
not
only
unuseful
,
but
dangerous
both
to
England
and
France
,
and
therefore
it
was
necessary
they
should
do
all
they
could
to
dissolve
it
.
—
I
did
communicate
this
Design
of
mine
to
Monsieur
Ravigney
,
who
agreed
with
me
that
it
would
be
the
greatest
Advantage
to
his
Master
,
to
have
the
Duke's
Power
and
Credit
so
far
Advanced
.
—
Again
,
If
we
can
advance
the
Duke's
Interest
one
step
forward
,
we
shall
put
him
out
of
the
reach
of
Chance
for
ever
.
—
Then
would
Catholicks
be
at
rest
,
and
his
Most
Christian
Majesty's
Interest
secured
with
us
in
England
,
beyond
all
apprehensions
whatsoever
.
—
Our
prevailing
in
these
things
would
give
the
greatest
blow
to
the
Protestant
Religion
here
,
that
ever
it
received
from
his
Birth
.
—
If
the
Duke
should
once
get
above
them
(
after
all
the
Tricks
they
have
plaied
with
him
)
they
are
not
sure
he
will
totally
forget
the
usage
he
hath
had
at
their
Hands
:
For
my
part
(
saith
he
)
I
can
scarce
believe
my self
awake
,
or
the
thing
real
,
when
I
think
on
a
Prince
in
such
an
Age
,
as
we
live
in
,
to
be
converted
to
such
a
degree
of
Zeal
and
Piety
,
as
not
to
regard
any
thing
in
the
World
in
comparison
of
Christ
.
These
are
the
Discoveries
of
your
Old
Servant
Mr.
Coleman
;
but
to
rivet
the
Matter
,
I
pray
,
consider
what
Discoveries
you
were
pleased
to
make
of
the
Union
of
your
Interest
with
that
of
the
French
King
,
which
,
Sir
,
will
put
the
Matter
out
of
dispute
.
Give
me
leave
to
put
you
in
mind
of
your
Letter
you
wrote
to
the
French
King's
Confessour
,
wherein
you
were
pleased
to
own
that
the
Interests
of
the
French
King
and
yours
were
so
clearly
linck'd
together
,
that
those
that
opposed
the
one
should
be
looked
on
as
Enemies
to
the
other
;
and
that
the
French
King
had
told
you
that
he
was
of
the
Opinion
,
that
neither
the
Lord
Arlington
,
nor
the
Parliament
were
in
his
Interest
,
nor
yours
.
2.
As
it
is
as
clear
as
the
Day
that
your
Interest
is
not
an
English
but
a
French
Interest
;
so
now
I
must
tell
you
in
the
second
place
,
that
your
Interest
being
a
French
Interest
,
it
will
render
your
return
impossible
,
and
the
attempt
in
order
to
it
very
foolish
and
irrational
.
You
know
that
the
English
Nation
is
never
safe
,
unless
a
check
be
put
upon
the
growing
Greatness
of
France
.
Therefore
do
but
observe
the
Address
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
March
10.
1676
,
they
put
the
King
your
Brother
in
mind
of
the
great
Danger
that
the
Nation
was
exposed
to
,
by
reason
of
the
growth
of
the
French
King's
Power
and
Greatness
.
Now
any
Man
that
is
in
the
Interest
of
the
French
King
,
his
Interest
is
no
ways
reconcileable
to
the
Interest
of
England
.
1.
As
to
its
Peace
.
2.
As
to
its
Trade
.
And
the
Consequence
of
both
these
are
the
Riches
of
the
Nation
,
which
must
be
consumed
by
a
Prince
that
is
of
an
Interest
different
from
that
of
the
People
,
't
is
true
the
present
War
with
France
hath
proved
very
chargable
to
the
Nation
;
but
here
is
our
Happiness
that
we
have
a
King
that
advanceth
the
Interest
of
our
Trade
,
his
People
and
He
go
Hand
in
Hand
,
Their
Interests
are
the
same
with
His
,
and
His
the
same
with
Theirs
;
which
to
me
is
an
Argument
,
that
when
it
shall
have
pleased
God
,
by
His
Arms
,
to
reduce
the
French
King
to
Reason
,
that
then
no
Nation
under
the
Heavens
can
or
will
be
more
happy
than
the
English
Nation
:
But
if
a
Prince
shall
,
instead
of
pursuing
the
Interest
of
his
People
,
pursue
their
Destruction
,
by
setting
up
and
advancing
the
Interest
of
a
Foreign
Power
,
his
Government
cannot
stand
.
This
,
Sir
,
was
that
which
lost
you
your
Crown
,
And
can
you
then
expect
by
that
Interest
to
regain
the
Crown
of
England
,
by
which
you
strangely
lost
it
?
Therefore
,
to
conclude
this
Head
,
let
not
your
Conspirators
think
that
it
is
either
probable
or
possible
that
ever
the
People
of
England
will
ever
be
brought
into
a
French
Interest
,
or
ever
admit
you
to
resume
the
Throne
and
Government
,
since
that
you
purely
lost
it
for
the
sake
of
that
Interest
.
Your
Scoundrel
Abettors
here
at
Home
,
are
such
a
sort
of
Animals
that
the
Reformed
Nations
Abroad
are
at
a
stand
,
and
cannot
tell
what
to
make
of
them
,
their
Carriages
of
late
Years
have
been
so
unaccountable
;
and
since
it
hath
pleased
God
to
put
it
into
the
Hearts
of
most
of
the
Princes
of
Europe
,
though
of
the
Romish
Communion
,
heartily
to
embrace
the
late
Revolution
in
England
,
as
the
last
Effort
for
the
Common
Liberty
of
Europe
,
and
have
entered
into
the
strictest
Alliance
with
our
King
(
though
of
a
different
Religion
)
to
support
it
;
it
looks
like
a
Dream
to
meet
with
Men
that
call
themselves
English
Protestants
embarqued
in
your
Interest
,
in
opposition
to
the
Interest
of
their
Native
Countrey
.
A
little
Priest
of
the
Church
of
England
,
in
a
Sermon
of
his
on
the
Day
your
Father
made
his
Exit
,
was
pleased
to
threaten
us
with
an
endless
War
that
would
be
entailed
on
the
Nation
;
he
is
a
mighty
Votary
for
your
Cause
and
Interest
,
notwithstanding
his
Oath
to
King
William
to
the
contrary
.
But
,
Sir
,
a
thousand
such
Fellows
can
never
reconcile
your
Interest
with
that
of
England
,
nor
would
your
Restoration
put
an
end
to
his
supposed
War
;
for
it
is
not
reasonable
to
imagine
that
so
many
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
who
have
associated
,
and
by
their
Association
have
engaged
to
support
the
Interest
and
Cause
of
our
King
,
will
tamely
submit
to
your
Restoration
:
Or
that
King
William
will
ever
abandon
his
Throne
,
or
that
its
possible
that
the
Common
Cause
of
Europe
will
ever
be
suffered
to
sink
in
such
a
manner
as
to
comply
with
the
Pride
and
Ambition
of
your Self
,
or
of
him
whose
Cause
you
have
espoused
,
and
whose
Interest
is
the
very
same
with
yours
:
When
you
were
upon
the
Throne
your
Aim
was
to
destroy
the
Interest
of
England
,
but
we
have
been
too
many
for
you
,
and
the
Throne
is
filled
up
with
one
that
will
maintain
and
support
our
Interest
,
notwithstanding
the
vain
Efforts
of
your
Crew
both
at
Home
and
Abroad
to
the
contrary
.
And
therefore
that
Loggerhead
of
a
Cathedral
Priest
hath
not
made
one
single
Convert
to
your
Cause
and
Interest
,
by
the
Noise
he
made
of
disputed
Titles
and
endless
Wars
.
I
will
observe
this
to
you
that
the
Rascal
hath
more
Preferment
than
Learning
or
Honesty
,
but
what
can
we
expect
of
an
Apostate
?
4.
We
are
Freemen
,
and
therefore
we
can
never
be
supposed
ever
to
admit
you
,
who
have
always
been
a
Person
of
Arbitrary
Principles
,
to
govern
this
Nation
.
You
cannot
but
remember
that
the
English
Nation
hath
a
very
great
Security
for
its
Liberties
;
and
that
is
the
Government
it self
,
with
a
good
King
at
the
head
thereof
,
and
that
is
our
present
Happiness
;
for
our
King
Rules
not
upon
the
same
Terms
as
your
Brother
of
France
doth
;
for
he
by
Force
Usurps
that
share
which
his
People
ought
to
have
in
the
Government
,
and
for
several
Ages
past
hath
been
in
possession
of
an
Arbitrary
Power
,
(
which
yet
no
prescription
can
make
Legal
)
and
he
exerciseth
it
over
the
Persons
and
Estates
of
his
People
in
a
most
Tyrannical
manner
:
And
this
your
loving
and
kind
Brother
and
you
aimed
at
,
Witness
your
Dispensing
Power
that
you
took
upon
you
when
you
ascended
the
Throne
.
But
our
King
hath
so
ordered
it
,
that
his
Subjects
shall
retain
their
Proportion
in
the
Legislature
;
the
very
meanest
Commoner
of
England
is
represented
in
Parliament
,
and
is
a
Party
to
those
Laws
by
which
our
King
is
Sworn
to
govern
himself
and
his
People
.
'T
is
true
you
Swore
,
but
you
made
no
Conscience
of
your
Oath
,
nor
did
you
in
the
least
boggle
at
the
Violation
of
our
Laws
;
you
hated
that
way
of
Government
which
you
had
solemnly
promised
to
maintain
and
defend
,
Witness
the
Names
you
used
to
give
the
Parliament
of
England
.
Now
according
to
the
Laws
of
the
Realm
no
Money
is
raised
but
by
common
Consent
:
But
you
were
pleased
to
raise
Money
upon
the
People
by
your
Proclamation
.
The
very
Day
after
you
had
promised
to
invade
no
Mans
Property
:
Now
no
Man
is
for
Life
,
Limb
,
Goods
,
or
Liberty
,
at
the
Sovereigns
Direction
;
but
how
soon
it
would
have
been
had
not
a
period
been
put
to
your
Tyranny
?
For
your
Sycophant
Parasites
were
very
zealous
to
have
delivered
up
those
Priviledges
in
to
your
Hands
,
judging
it
would
not
be
well
with
England
till
you
were
as
Absolute
as
the
Monster
of
France
,
by
which
we
might
easily
understand
your
Intentions
.
For
,
Sir
,
who
knows
not
that
the
inclination
of
a
Prince
is
best
known
either
by
those
that
are
about
him
,
and
most
Favour
with
him
,
or
by
the
current
of
his
own
Actions
?
Those
who
were
nearest
to
you
,
and
most
your
Favourites
,
were
your
Irish
and
French
Courtiers
,
and
your
Popish
Priests
and
Prelates
,
who
these
Men
stood
affected
to
.
Your
Discretionary
Dispotick
Power
can
never
be
forgotten
:
No
Man
but
may
remember
,
that
in
their
common
Discourse
were
for
advancing
your
Will
and
Pleasure
over
your
Subjects
to
be
equal
with
that
of
the
King
of
France
is
over
his
.
This
was
but
a
Copy
which
those
Villains
had
industriously
taken
from
your
own
Words
and
Actions
.
In
Scotland
you
did
publickly
set
up
for
that
Power
,
and
openly
declared
you
would
be
obeyed
without
reserve
.
The
attempt
you
and
your
Conspirators
made
in
the
time
of
the
Lord
Chancellor
Hyde
upon
our
Liberties
,
is
never
to
be
forgetten
;
a
Bill
was
prepared
to
enable
the
King
your
Brother
in
the
time
of
any
interval
of
Parliament
,
to
raise
what
Money
he
pleased
upon
an
extraordinary
occasion
,
as
the
Dutch
War
was
pretended
to
be
.
This
had
taken
its
much
desired
effect
,
had
not
that
Lord
Chancellor
been
awakened
by
an
intimate
Friend
of
his
,
who
,
understanding
what
was
doing
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
came
to
him
and
shewed
him
what
the
Consequences
were
which
such
an
unheard
thing
would
produce
;
and
he
using
one
Argument
above
all
the
rest
,
in
telling
him
he
came
to
his
Honour
and
Greatness
by
the
Gown
,
and
not
by
the
Sword
;
and
if
that
Bill
passed
,
he
advised
him
to
consider
what
his
Gown
,
or
all
the
Lawyers
Gowns
in
England
were
worth
,
which
that
Lord
Chancellor
,
though
one
of
the
Actors
with
you
to
enslave
the
Nation
,
being
a
Man
of
Sense
,
had
that
Honor
as
to
think
it
no
Dishonor
to
retreat
from
that
Devilish
Invention
,
which
he
to
comply
with
your
Ambition
and
Pride
had
set
on
foot
to
destroy
us
at
once
:
So
that
Bill
,
though
once
read
in
the
House
for
enabling
the
King
,
your
Brother
,
to
raise
Money
at
pleasure
,
was
by
the
Providence
of
God
,
and
the
Prudence
of
that
Noble
Penitent
Lord
droped
so
far
,
as
that
it
dwindled
into
a
Bill
of
75000
l.
not
exceeding
a
Months
Tax
.
No
doubt
but
you
had
procured
this
Bill
to
be
dressed
in
the
French
Mode
for
emergent
Occasions
;
yet
had
it
passed
in
the
same
manner
as
you
and
your
Accomplices
designed
,
there
would
not
have
wanted
emergent
Occasions
,
and
extraordinary
Services
to
have
given
Colour
for
keeping
that
Power
on
foot
until
Dooms
Day
in
the
Afternoon
.
The
French
King
,
whose
Example
you
followed
in
this
particular
,
got
his
Power
by
such
a
villainous
Stratagem
;
but
he
hath
not
been
at
leisure
yet
to
call
his
Parliament
to
dispute
that
Point
.
I
question
not
but
that
your
loving
Brother
and
you
would
have
found
other
Matters
of
moment
,
to
have
diverted
you
from
that
way
of
raising
Money
;
so
England
must
have
taken
leave
of
Parliaments
for
ever
,
and
we
must
have
submitted
all
we
had
to
your
French
Discretion
.
But
through
the
Blessing
of
Heaven
,
and
the
Care
of
our
Legislators
,
we
are
delivered
not
only
from
your
Government
and
your
intended
French
way
of
Governing
;
for
we
continue
to
have
the
same
Right
(
modestly
understood
)
in
our
Propriety
that
our
Prince
hath
in
his
Royalty
,
and
in
all
Cases
where
the
King
himself
is
concerned
we
have
our
just
Remedy
,
as
against
any
private
Person
in
the
Nation
,
in
the
Courts
of
Westminster-hall
,
or
in
the
High
Court
of
Parliament
;
for
his
Prerogative
is
not
like
that
you
would
have
usurped
,
but
what
the
Law
hath
only
determined
.
His
great
Seal
,
which
is
the
legitimate
Stamp
of
his
Royal
Will
and
Pleasure
,
yet
it
is
no
longer
currant
than
upon
the
Tryal
it
is
found
to
be
according
to
Law
and
Justice
.
The
King
cannot
commit
any
Man
by
his
own
particular
Warrant
,
he
cannot
be
himself
a
Witness
in
any
Cause
whatever
,
tho
your
Brother
would
have
been
one
against
me
.
The
Ballance
of
publick
Justice
being
so
delicate
,
that
not
the
Head
only
but
even
the
Breath
of
the
King
would
turn
the
Scale
;
nothing
is
left
to
the
Win
of
the
King
,
but
every
thing
is
subject
to
his
legal
Authority
;
by
which
means
it
follows
,
that
as
he
can
do
no
Wrong
,
nor
can
he
receive
Wrong
.
But
you
by
your
Dispensing
Power
put
your self
in
a
state
of
Wronging
the
Nation
,
and
destroying
your self
and
Government
;
but
had
you
kept
to
the
Measures
of
an
English
King
,
you
might
have
remained
to
this
Day
to
have
been
the
only
intelligent
Ruler
over
a
rational
People
,
your
Person
had
been
Sacred
and
Inviolable
,
and
whatever
Excess
had
been
committed
in
your
Reigh
,
would
not
have
been
imputed
to
you
as
being
free
from
the
Necessity
and
Temptations
:
Your
Ministers
would
have
been
only
accountable
for
all
,
and
must
have
Answered
it
at
their
Perils
.
You
had
a
vast
Revenue
,
and
if
any
emergency
of
Affair
should
have
appeared
,
you
had
at
your
Call
a
number
of
Men
to
have
advised
with
,
a
supply
would
have
been
readily
granted
.
You
were
the
Fountain
of
Honour
,
the
disposer
of
many
profitable
Places
both
in
Church
and
State
;
but
this
would
not
serve
your
turn
,
for
you
would
not
be
abridged
the
Power
of
injuring
the
People
of
England
,
but
against
all
Law
invaded
our
Rights
,
and
designed
nothing
so
much
as
enslaving
us
and
our
Posterity
for
ever
:
And
we
that
have
tasted
so
much
of
the
sweetness
of
Liberty
,
and
on
the
other
hand
have
smarted
under
your
short
,
but
cruel
Tyranny
will
never
be
intangled
again
with
the
French
Popish
Yoke
of
Bondage
,
but
stand
in
defence
of
the
King
we
have
chosen
,
and
the
Liberty
we
have
recovered
as
long
as
we
have
a
Being
in
this
World
.
Therefore
consider
with
your self
the
impossibility
of
your
return
,
to
that
Government
you
abused
,
to
the
Administration
of
those
Laws
you
violated
,
to
a
Nation
that
you
made
a
Field
of
Blood
;
and
if
you
had
remained
,
for
ought
I
know
,
England
might
have
been
a
Howling
Wilderness
.
In
fine
,
then
I
am
sure
if
you
should
make
any
attempt
to
return
it
will
be
in
vain
,
and
appear
very
rediculous
.
5.
We
have
Sworn
Allegiance
to
King
William
,
who
is
of
the
same
Religion
and
Interest
with
us
,
who
delivered
us
out
of
your
Hands
and
the
Hands
of
your
villainous
Conspirators
,
and
hath
fixed
us
upon
those
Foundations
,
against
which
France
,
Rome
,
nor
Hell
shall
prevail
;
he
hath
secured
us
,
our
Liberties
,
Laws
and
Religion
;
he
hath
brought
himself
and
Government
to
that
Perfection
,
notwithstanding
the
vexatious
War
which
lies
hard
upon
us
,
that
he
is
capable
of
doing
good
to
all
Mankind
,
and
he
hath
totally
disabled
himself
from
doing
hurt
to
any
;
he
wants
not
the
French
King's
Purse
,
nor
his
Friendship
;
he
wants
not
his
Interest
,
for
his
Interest
is
his
Peoples
,
and
his
Peoples
his
,
by
which
they
are
so
united
,
that
the
attempts
of
your
Scoundrel
Crew
for
your
Restoration
will
be
in
vain
;
the
Hearts
of
the
Nation
are
set
against
you
,
and
for
your
perfidious
dealing
both
in
Church
and
State
the
People
of
England
will
trust
you
no
more
.
Sir
,
We
have
Sworn
Allegiance
to
this
King
we
chose
in
your
stead
,
and
we
are
bound
to
stand
by
him
;
our
choise
of
him
was
from
a
Principle
of
Love
to
God
and
the
Protestant
Religion
which
he
hath
asserted
.
You
kept
not
your
Faith
with
us
,
and
therefore
our
Allegiance
ceased
to
you
,
your
Actions
have
been
very
plain
and
open
,
and
so
pernitious
that
it
was
a
Wonder
of
Wonders
,
tha●
we
and
our
Religion
have
been
delivered
from
Blood
and
Oppression
:
And
Sir
I
would
let
you
know
that
we
are
not
afraid
of
you
and
your
Adherents
,
for
I
believe
the
Protestant
Religion
and
Protestant
King
will
stand
notwithstanding
al●
your
Attempts
;
and
if
you
had
brought
your
French
Dragooning
Apostles
o●er
to
us
,
yet
we
would
and
should
have
maintained
our
Ground
,
and
destroyed
●●em
and
you
.
We
value
not
your
little
Two-penny
Stuff
that
you
have
left
●●hind
you
to
plead
your
Cause
:
your
impertinent
,
ignorant
Non-juring
Clergy-men
can
never
preach
us
out
of
love
to
that
Loyalty
that
we
owe
to
K.
William
;
●e
have
scarce
a
Williamite
Cobler
but
can
baffle
them
all
.
These
things
consi●ered
,
How
can
you
ever
expect
any
thing
less
than
that
Judgment
the
Psalmist
●rays
for
to
be
inflicted
upon
his
Enemies
?
Hath
not
God
already
set
a
wicked
Tyrant
over
you
?
Have
you
not
been
Judged
by
the
Lords
and
Commons
of
England
,
and
Condemned
?
Was
not
your
Reign
short
?
And
hath
not
another
taken
your
Office
?
In
time
,
Sir
,
the
Judgment
may
be
compleated
upon
you
.
There
is
of
your
Issue
that
have
had
no
Hand
in
our
Miseries
,
and
for
this
Cause
our
Eyes
are
set
upon
them
for
good
,
and
we
shall
pray
for
their
long
Life
:
But
as
for
you
,
that
God
would
cloth
you
with
Shame
and
Confusion
of
Face
;
and
that
he
would
upon
the
Head
of
our
Protestant
King
let
the
Crown
long
florish
:
And
I
do
not
question
but
God
will
hear
the
Prayers
of
his
Faithful
Subjects
,
and
will
by
his
means
bring
the
Nation
to
such
a
Settlement
that
our
Allegiance
will
be
firm
to
him
and
his
Successors
,
notwithstanding
all
those
villainous
Attempts
that
you
and
that
Monster
of
Mankind
your
Brother
of
France
,
by
his
and
your
Traiterous
Accomplices
,
have
made
to
deprive
us
of
so
great
a
Blessing
.
Which
brings
me
to
a
Sixth
Consideration
.
6.
The
last
Reason
I
shall
give
you
,
why
it
will
be
impossible
for
you
to
return
to
the
Administration
of
the
English
Government
,
and
that
all
Attempts
of
that
nature
will
be
in
vain
,
because
of
your
late
barbarous
and
villainous
Attempt
you
by
your
Conspirators
have
made
upon
the
Person
of
our
King
,
and
your
purpose
of
backing
that
intended
Murder
by
an
unnatural
Invasion
;
you
had
some
that
pittied
you
,
but
now
our
Hearts
are
shut
up
against
you
,
and
are
hardned
against
all
your
Cursed
Adherents
:
For
now
your
Plot
is
discovered
,
and
it
is
a
Plot
and
a
Villainous
One
,
nothing
can
be
plainer
;
no
Man
of
Common
Understanding
but
must
see
your
Conspiracy
to
bring
in
Popery
and
Slavery
,
and
to
destroy
the
Protestant
Religion
and
the
Liberties
of
England
.
We
know
,
Sir
,
the
Doctrine
of
your
Popish
and
Non-juring
Priests
too
well
,
and
your
wicked
Practices
;
and
we
are
now
assured
that
you
will
not
stick
at
any
thing
that
may
bring
your
wicked
Designs
about
.
You
must
excuse
me
if
I
am
plain
with
you
,
I
would
not
asperse
you
with
hard
Words
if
they
were
not
very
true
,
I
should
not
have
been
so
Hot
if
you
had
not
been
concerned
in
the
late
wicked
Design
of
murthering
our
King
,
but
if
you
had
succeeded
it
would
have
been
no
more
than
you
did
to
your
Loving
and
Kind
Brother
;
but
all
this
as
well
as
the
other
is
owing
to
you
and
your
Popish
Traiterous
Crew
,
who
have
debauched
Mens
Understandings
,
overturned
all
Morals
,
and
destroyed
all
Divinity
.
What
shall
I
say
of
you
and
your
villainour
Party
?
What
is
your
Charity
such
as
to
destroy
Kings
?
And
where
was
the
Humility
of
insulting
over
the
Nation
?
The
Mystery
of
Iniquity
is
revealed
,
and
you
are
disappointed
:
The
Nation
sees
that
you
are
no
Changeling
as
to
y●●r
Vices
,
and
you
will
find
that
English-men
are
no
Changelings
:
Therefore
it
w●ll
be
in
vain
to
make
any
more
attempts
to
be
Restored
again
for
the
future
.
To
conclude
this
Memorial
,
Sir
,
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
that
I
have
thus
f●●
laid
open
the
Conspiracy
against
our
Religion
and
Government
,
and
indeed
it
wa●
more
than
time
it
should
be
discovered
,
for
I
think
here
hath
been
nothing
asserte●
but
what
hath
been
and
can
be
made
out
;
we
see
how
the
French
have
been
courted
by
you
and
your
Party
;
with
what
Ease
have
they
been
assisted
,
and
wit●
what
Difficulty
the
Dutch
,
both
in
your
Brothers
and
your
Reign
:
We
see
your
Brother
and
you
abandon
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
now
our
King
,
in
compliance
with
his
and
the
Nations
Enemies
.
How
can
any
Man
think
upon
the
French
Depredations
and
Cruelties
exercised
at
Sea
upon
the
Subjects
of
England
without
Regret
?
Call
to
mind
your
notorious
Treacheries
in
that
Affair
:
Remember
the
constant
Irregularities
and
Injustice
from
term
to
term
of
those
who
should
have
administred
Justice
between
King
and
People
:
Remember
the
search
you
made
throughout
the
whole
Kingdom
to
find
Men
of
Arbitrary
Principles
,
that
would
bow
the
Knee
to
Baal
in
order
to
their
being
promoted
to
all
publick
Commissions
and
Employments
,
and
disgracing
and
displacing
all
those
that
durst
,
in
so
universal
a
Depravation
,
be
honest
and
faithful
in
their
Trust
and
Offices
.
We
saw
to
our
great
Grief
the
Defection
of
considerable
Persons
,
both
Male
and
Female
,
to
the
Popish
Religion
,
as
if
they
enter'd
by
Couples
,
Clean
and
Unclean
,
into
the
Ark
of
that
Cursed
Synagogue
,
not
more
in
order
to
their
Salvation
than
for
their
Temporal
Advantage
and
Safety
.
Sir
,
the
State
of
Ireland
managed
by
your
Brother
and
you
would
require
a
Volume
to
represent
it
;
and
in
your
Time
we
could
not
but
observe
that
all
your
Affairs
and
Councils
in
the
Nation
tended
to
a
Popish
Revolution
.
And
by
the
Foresight
and
Civility
of
the
Man
of
Sin
,
there
was
an
English
Cardinal
prepared
,
like
Cardinal
Pool
,
to
give
us
Absolution
,
Benediction
,
and
to
receive
us
to
the
Obedience
of
the
See
of
Rome
.
It
is
true
your
Conspiracy
had
taken
effect
had
you
not
met
with
many
Disappointments
;
but
the
last
Disappointment
was
the
overturn
of
all
your
Designs
at
once
,
which
was
occasioned
by
the
Arrival
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
:
Guilt
made
you
to
flee
.
The
Sense
the
Nation
had
of
your
wicked
Intentions
,
against
our
Laws
and
Liberties
,
caused
the
People
of
England
to
make
choice
of
our
Deliverer
to
reign
over
us
:
He
is
anointed
our
King
,
and
as
God
hath
set
a
Crown
of
pure
Gold
upon
his
Head
,
so
we
question
not
but
the
same
God
will
satisfy
him
with
long
Life
and
Happiness
,
and
that
he
will
give
him
the
Spirit
of
Wisdom
,
Knowledge
,
Zeal
and
Faithfulness
,
to
do
what
in
him
lies
to
the
bringing
on
the
New
Heavens
and
the
New
Earth
wherein
Righteousness
and
Peace
shall
dwell
,
by
repairing
the
Breaches
and
decayed
Places
that
you
have
made
and
caused
amongst
us
.
And
from
hence
,
Sir
,
remember
that
though
Hand
join
in
Hand
,
yet
the
Wicked
shall
not
go
unpunished
;
they
are
Gods
own
Words
,
who
hath
also
declared
with
the
greatest
Solemnity
,
that
there
shall
be
no
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
Isa.

You
have
leisure
to
consider
of
these
things
;
and
so
Farewell
.
FINIS
.
