I Question not , but this will come safe to your Hands , by the Invisible Post , as well as yours came to mine , by the flying Packet from Tholouze , for it made devlish hast , being Dated from that City , being in Narbonne in the farthest part of France , the 18 of August 1680. and on the 17th it was Printed and Cryed about the Streets , being the next day . Lyers ought to have good Memories , for in framing Lyes , there is required somthing more than h●dling Words together , and sweet S●r , you have made yours so very Monstrous , that it hath not the sweet Face of a likely Lye , nor the pleasant one of a Rom●nce , but looks like its own Father the Devil , the Author of Lyes , your Date at the first dash were enough to Convince any one , that is not of the Colledge of Bethlem , of the Monstrosity of the Fiction , and it would be but holding a Candle in a clear Sun-shiny Day , to use Words or Arguments to perswade an● ; that your whole Full and Exact Relation , is a very Full and Exact Lye , However , since this is a Sc●ibling Age , and that perhaps I have as little to doe as you , when you Inven●ed it , I shall make some few Remarques on your false Story . Had I been to have advised you , you should have laid the Scene of this Lye , at a greater Distance , either in T●rra Incogni●a , or Utopia , Atlantis or some of those Regions ▪ for Th●louze is a little too near , and the Fraud may be too soon discovered , perhaps before your next Packet comes ▪ which you have promised from Rome , so that it seems you are a Retainer to these Invisible old Apostles , and keep ' ●m C●mpany in their Journey . Apostles ! and why Apostles ? My thinks you might better have thought on the Notion of the two Witnesses : Muggleton , and his cu●sing Companion and fellow Shoo-maker I wou●d have passed better with the Fifth Monarchy Men : but i● they are Apostles you might have made them about six hu●dred years older , and then they might have been taken by the Romanists or St. James and St. John or some of Chris●s Ap●stles , that had got a a new Resurrection , or else had not been Martyred according to Tradition . Then they came from Damas●us a City in Gal●ile , I think you are not Skilled in Cosmography , for we never Heard or Read of such a City in Gallily , but in Syria ▪ the Seat now of a Turkish Bashaw . But 't is no matter it seems whence they came , but most likely from Damascus in the Moon , or in Fary-L●nd , for they dropt down Invisibly into Tholouse : For says , the Learned ●amphlet : No person ever saw them to enter into the City : This is the first Truth in the Letter , and I believe it . It had methinks been worth your while to have described their Extraordinary habit , and you would have us suppose their Cloaths , are as old as themselves , and that I am very apt to Believe too , ●or no doubt they were created together out of the Nodle of the Writer . Some Taylors , especially the French Taylors here in London wo●ld have been glad to have known this Extraordinary Fash●on ▪ and it might have made your Pamphlet ●ell the better ▪ but it seems your Fa●c● was J●ded . But why in the Name of Belz●bub , dropt they first into ●holovse ? I never heard that City to have been a S●dom before , my thinks you might have better d●op● them into Rome , or in Geneva , in th● last if thou ar● a Rom●n ▪ in the first if a Fana●ick Lyer . But now I have found it out , you would give them a Journy over the Alps to Rome that 〈◇〉 in London may have a second Intertainment of their Adventures in that place ▪ from you their Invisible S●cret●●y ▪ observe also that they are very Learned Men , and can dispute in L 〈…〉 , Gi●●● , H●brew , and Chalde ▪ and since the Jesu●tes , cannot convert them , would mak● u●e of their ordinary way to Confound them with Imprisonment and Chains made of strong and heavy Iron , Spanish I on without doubt . But 't is well for them they could so easily break them ▪ no doubt but they deserve to be made Saints ▪ who were before Apostles . God bless us ! tenn years and the World is at an end ; I would fain know ( if you have any Land ) what you would take for the Reversion of it after 1690. But we have a Doomsday Sedgwick in our Lunatick times , and need not go to France to know times and Seasons . But 't is well these invisible Apostles are going to his Holiness , who wants much the Advice of such Antient Saints , since he will not believe the Writings of St. Paul , St. John . St. James and St. Peter ; he may be instructed by these of the old and t●●e Institutions , and that he may make a thorow Reformation of all Superstition and false Doctrine , under which his Holiness Flock lies . I wonder that the French King did not lay hold on them , and set 'um up for Popes in Paris , now he has ordered his Cler●y to make no Appeal to Rome . But I cannot yet learn , what the Religion of these old I●visible Men should be ; by their eating ●read and drinking Water , they should be no P●e●byteri●ns , 〈◇〉 by their preaching to the People to do Pennance , they should be Roman-Catholicks of the last Edition , or Scotch Master Johns But we have trifled with this ridiculous story too long , and shall now end with a loving advice : That the next Lye you frame to delude poor ignorant silly Women , Children and Melanccholly Sots , and Religious Dreamers , may be done with more probability , and that you get a more cunning Mephostophilus to help you , and that you meddle not with Religion , and put lie● and abuses upon Professions : or rather , since lying is a sinful though thriving Calling , that you employ the little Wit yo● have some other way ; for though no man or Woman that has common undcrstanding will believe you , yet there are many among the V●lgar , whose Wits are ● Woolgathering , that think all true they see in print , and can swallow as great a lye as this , and perhaps have imagined as much in their Chymerical Fancies , therefore good lying Friend , if we hear no more of your two invisible Apostles , the people will believe very rationally , that they brok● their Necks going over the Alps to Rome , and that the Devil carried away their Secretary a Pick-Pack to Hell for his gross and foolish Lying .
