A DIALOGUE between a Country Gentleman and a Parliament-Man , concerning the late KING JAMES . C. G.

I AM come , Sir , according to Custom and my Duty , to kiss your Hands , before you take your Journey for London ; and to wish you a Happy one .

P. M.

Sir , your Servant : But you are so good a Husband of your Time , that it is not meer Ceremony which brings you from Home , and you will I Know be as free as formerly , in giving me your Thoughts concerning the present Juncture .

C. G.

Whilst the War , and consequently the Taxes , were much in my Neighbours Mouths , and more at their Hearts , I was sufficiently furnished with Remarks upon them ; but since the Happy Conclusion of the Peace , and the Universal Expectation of some Ease ( especially for the Land ) in our Publick Payments , all things now go on so smoothly , that the News Houses will be less frequented for the future .

P. M.

'T is very well , Sir ; yet 't is seldom seen , that after so rude a Tempest , so sudden and great a Calm should ensue ; No rolling of the Waves ? No murmures remaining ?

C. G.

Nothing , Sir , of Grumbling that I have met with , and little of Curiosity , unless I should take notice of the many wise guesses my good Neighbours make , what , or whether any Regard , has been , or will be had of the late King James , by or after the Peace .

P. M.

You mean , I suppose , as to his Support abroad : And how do you find them pray ? In good Humour ?

C. G.

As little of Resentment , considering how much he had affrighted 'em , as can be imagined . They have yet their accustomed Veneration for their Money , and would hold it fast , but that , as they compute a very small matter for a particular share , would arise to a handsom Revenue in the Gross .

P. M.

They are in the right as to that ; and my own Opinion in this case would be as little to the purpose , it may be , as their Guess , having been so long out of London , and not seen Sir E. S. in the large Tour he made amongst his Friends .

C. G.

A Pleasant Thing , I thought , was proposed by a Gentleman you know , which was this : That so great a number of Gentlemen , and of the Clergy , having appeared very favourable to the Person and Cause of their Old Master , as they stile him , during the War , it might now be allowed by a Law , ( paying the common Duties equally with other good Subjects ) and they should have leave voluntarily to devote what part of their Estates they should think fitting towards his Maintenance . That by this means he would be supplied , the Publick eased , and the Pretenders to such exact Conscience , Loyalty , and Honour , find an Opportunity of Testifying their Sincerity and Fidelity with all the Applause imaginable , and no Danger to themselves .

P. M.

Alas , Sir , were it reduced to that , I fear , for all their Zeal , he would often Dine upon Cold Meat . I am yet so pleased with the Humour , that should such a thing be proposed , though but in jest , I think I should give it my Vote .

London , Printed in the YEAR 1697.
