Right
Honourable
,
And
Noble
Patron
of
the
Religion
,
Laws
and
Libertys
of
all
the
Free
Born
People
of
England
,
who
like
a
Star
of
the
first
Magnitude
in
Libra
,
outshines
all
the
Stars
in
our
Hemissphere
,
having
Sol
and
Mercury
for
your
Ascendant
,
being
not
able
to
wait
on
your
Lordship
my self
,
being
forced
by
cross
Winds
of
Popish
Faction
and
Malice
to
come
to
an
Anchor
in
the
Fleet
;
Upon
pretence
of
not
answering
a
Bill
in
Chancery
put
in
or
preferr'd
by
a
Convict
Papist
and
a
Traytor
,
found
so
by
the
Grand
Jury
,
but
indeed
an
Atheist
,
that
being
but
a
pretence
to
hinder
my
appearance
before
the
King
and
Council
;
who
have
sent
for
my
Papers
,
and
have
them
now
as
I
am
told
in
consideration
before
them
,
but
't
is
much
to
my
prejudice
,
I
suppose
,
I
am
not
there
,
which
I
cannot
be
now
without
danger
of
my
Person
;
having
been
,
three
times
assaulted
in
the
Street
;
and
warning
given
me
,
by
several
persons
of
Credit
and
Honour
,
to
have
a
care
of
my self
;
Which
Danger
I
suppose
will
encrease
as
Discoveries
come
on
;
so
that
God
,
I
believe
,
in
his
kind
Providence
to
his
Glory
and
my
good
,
I
hope
;
has
been
pleased
to
hide
me
in
the
hollow
of
his
hand
,
to
be
a
means
to
Discover
die
hollowness
of
more
Hearts
than
have
yet
been
founded
,
and
so
to
preserve
me
till
these
Storms
of
State
are
overpast
,
turning
that
into
a
safe
Harbor
which
they
meant
for
a
Quick-sand
to
devour
me
;
were
I
now
but
as
well
Victualled
,
as
I
am
here
secured
from
Winds
,
I
should
not
fear
to
ride
it
out
till
next
Sessions
:
if
no
Parliament
sits
,
I
hope
we
shall
not
want
a
place
to
Try
Whores
and
Knaves
in
,
or
we
may
shut
up
our
Shops
and
make
it
a
St.
Innocents
day
.
My
Lord
,
I
the
rather
make
this
Address
to
your
good
Lordship
,
as
having
lately
found
in
an
old
Magazine
of
a
great
Enemy
of
the
Jesuits
,
a
Present
,
I
hope
,
worth
your
acceptance
in
these
Polemical
times
of
Disputation
with
those
Fathers
of
Falshood
,
and
Step-fathers
of
Truth
the
Jesuits
,
being
a
Quiver
of
Arrows
made
by
some
Tartarian
Priests
of
excellent
piercing
Points
,
where
in
a
short
Familiar
Epistle
to
them
,
they
make
the
Vanity
of
their
Superstitious
practices
appear
to
be
not
only
against
Grace
but
Nature
too
,
I
thought
my self
therefore
as
a
true
Son
of
the
Protestant
Church
to
enter
my
Protest
against
them
;
and
give
what
Aid
I
could
to
their
Destruction
having
sought
and
still
do
seek
mine
with
so
much
Malice
and
Cruelty
:
nor
knew
I
where
to
put
these
Arms
in
better
hands
in
than
theirs
,
that
have
used
those
they
have
already
managed
with
so
much
Generosity
,
Courage
and
Constancy
,
that
your
Honour
may
as
well
be
called
the
Fabeus
as
Sir
William
Waller
the
Marcellus
of
this
our
Church
and
State
;
for
if
Religion
staggers
,
I
find
Law
must
reel
;
or
,
if
you
please
rather
to
take
the
resemblance
of
those
two
Noble
Active
Romans
,
I
mean
Horatius
Cocles
and
Mutius
Scvola
;
the
one
defending
our
Bridge
against
the
French
Poursenna
,
when
they
endeavoured
to
make
one
over
our
Noses
to
our
Destruction
,
the
other
boldly
putting
his
hand
into
the
Flame
of
Popish
Malice
to
pull
the
Church
of
England
like
a
brand
out
of
the
Fire
of
their
Purgatory
,
That
I
now
begg
of
your
Lordship
,
and
of
all
true
lovers
of
their
Country
is
to
lend
me
their
assistance
to
subsist
here
without
starving
,
which
has
been
and
is
til
their
Design
,
but
I
hope
being
here
in
this
Fortress
;
secured
from
want
of
Ammunition
to
gaul
them
more
than
if
I
were
abroad
,
meaning
from
hence
to
play
my
great
Guns
to
batter
their
Babylon
,
and
destroy
all
their
strong
Holds
of
Sin
and
Satan
;
Pray
my
Lord
be
pleased
to
accept
this
Sacrifice
to
you
and
my
Country
,
having
now
put
those
Arms
into
your
hand
of
such
excellent
trusty
Steel
with
which
you
may
easily
Wound
the
Head
of
the
Beast
,
and
Heart
of
the
Whore
,
overthrowing
her
Golden
cup
full
of
Superstitious
Liquor
to
the
Ground
,
with
Which
she
hath
made
the
Kings
of
the
Nations
drunk
