THE
Reformer
Rack'd
:
AND
HIS
CONFESSION
.
THE
strained
weaknesses
and
fulsom
unbecomingnesses
of
Codrus's
Verse
,
must
heighten
the
true
Poet's
Indignation
;
the
very
recital
of
them
must
whet
his
Noble
Anger
,
and
set
a
steeling
Edge
on
the
bluntest
Ingenuity
:
So
the
slavering
Wit
of
a
Novice
,
a
Bavius
or
Maevius
,
hath
been
treated
with
nothing
but
Sarcasm
and
Satyr
,
Scorn
and
Proverb
.
As
the
Fooleries
of
Love
,
and
the
womanish
Flatteries
of
Poetasters
,
have
been
always
unsuccessful
and
contemptible
,
and
ridiculous
in
an
undegenerate
Age
of
masculine
Vertue
;
so
the
Smatterers
in
Controversie
,
and
the
unmanly
poornesses
of
trifling
Malice
,
or
Presbyterian
Cant
,
are
not
like
to
have
better
Fate
,
or
hope
to
escape
the
Lash
and
Baffle
of
a
Church-of-England-Pen
.
How
often
the
Non-con's
have
been
encountered
by
our
irrefragable
Clergy
,
in
Debates
of
this
Nature
,
viz.
Whether
our
Church-Ceremonies
were
superstitious
Relicks
of
Popery
,
absurd
,
and
not
to
be
endured
?
p.
2
,
3.
Whether
Ecclesiastical
Laws
and
Ordinances
be
Obligatory
,
or
meer
Human
Invention
,
inconsistent
with
Christian
Liberty
,
and
are
pure
Will-Worship
?
p.
30
,
32
,
33.
Whether
the
setting
apart
some
Days
for
holier
Use
and
Service
,
is
a
Branch
of
Heathenism
or
Popish
Idolatry
?
And
appointing
Anniversaries
,
Festivals
and
Fasts
upon
any
Man's
Account
be
Blasphemous
,
and
derogatory
to
the
Authority
of
the
Lord
of
Sabbath
?

themselves
may
remember
who
always
came
off
with
the
Foil
;
and
methinks
they
might
have
learned
from
the
Wraftling
of
Lincolns-Inn-fields
,
or
from
Shame
,
to
have
desisted
,
and
flung
off
the
Belt
:
But
here
's
a
doughty
Antagonist
hath
a
mind
to
Dispute
it
again
,
though
he
be
sure
to
be
worsted
for
his
pains
,
and
thrown
out
in
the
struggle
:
It
is
the
Nature
of
a
Fool-hardy
Fellow
,
and
more
becoming
Dick
the
Butcher
than
one
of
the
Sober-Party
,
to
run
the
Risque
of
a
dozen
broken
Heads
before
he
will
lay
down
the
Cudgel
.
I
may
relate
,
but
never
hope
to
Decide
or
Quell
their
refractory
Animosities
;
and
truly
to
recite
all
their
Bear-Garden-Adventures
against
our
Church
,
and
their
snarling
Cavils
against
her
Holy
Sanctions
and
Wise
Constitutions
,
would
show
the
Reader
how
great
a
mind
they
have
to
make
Schism
but
a
more
sanctified
Sport
,
and
to
remove
the
Royal
Diversions
of
Bull-Baiting
and
Bear-Baiting
into
the
House
of
God
.
Those
who
Foster
up
Lion's
Whelps
and
Foxes
Cubs
of
Division
within
the
Grates
of
their
own
Breasts
,
can
as
easily
with
the
favour
of
the
State
and
Press
,
turn
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
into
an
Amphitheatre
of
wild
Divinity
and
savage
Christianity
,
as
transmography
St.
Paul's
into
a
Stable
,
and
make
it
a
Den
of
Filthiness
and
Horse-dung
.
The
Levitical
Augaeus
was
resolved
to
make
Superstition
stink
,
though
his
own
Practice
smelled
strong
of
Bestiality
for
't
;
and
surely
he
cannot
call
this
a
sweet
Revenge
upon
Rome
,
when
he
must
necessarily
hold
his
Nose
for
the
Ho-go
and
Brutishness
of
his
own
Actions
,
and
only
Snivel
out
his
hateful
,
hoggish
,
and
nasty
Reformation
.
Well
then
;
Vexatus
toties
with
Geneva-rant
or
Aetnean
Eruptions
and
Distractions
at
home
,
I
must
now
break
out
into
Juvenal's
nunquamne
reponam
?
Justice
and
Charity
let
the
Author
of
those
reproachful
Observations
upon
the
Martyrdom
and
Restauration
,
expect
from
an
injured
Loyalist
and
a
disturbed
Privado
.
He
deserves
to
be
answered
with
the
Severity
of
Truth
and
Law
;
his
Billingsgate
Scold
and
Railery
against
our
Pious
Solemnization
of
a
Fast
and
a
Thanksgiving
;
the
former
upon
a
most
dreadful
and
doleful
,
the
latter
upon
a
most
joyful
Account
,
requires
the
deepest
Stab
from
a
poyniarding
Scurrility
:
He
is
troubled
with
that
Distemper
,
the
Choler
of
a
passionate
Folly
,
and
Spleen
of
Malice
,
which
Lenitives
cannot
Cure
,
and
no
Remedy
can
be
worse
than
his
Disease
.
If
there
be
any
secular
Care
of
the
Scepter
,
if
any
pious
regard
for
the
Mitre
,
if
there
be
any
Security
of
their
present
Majesties
,
if
any
just
yearly
Tribute
of
streaming
Tears
be
payable
to
the
Blessed
Memory
of
Massacred
Charles
,
if
any
Anniversary
Mean
for
a
Cannibal-barbarity
,
and
the
most
Capital
and
Unpardonable
Offence
to
Majesty
above
our
Terrestrial
Turf
,
if
any
sincere
Lamentation
be
due
to
the
Funeral
of
a
Martyr
,
if
Oblivion
must
not
shade
his
Hearse
,
if
we
must
not
Rhodomontade
Heaven
with
our
Innocence
and
Impunity
in
the
matter
,
if
we
must
not
think
to
Trick
and
Bilk
God's
waking
Vengeance
,
as
a
Cullied
Coachman
is
sometimes
served
:
If
our
Hymns
and
Songs
of
ecstasied
Joy
for
those
eminent
Mercies
and
Blessings
of
God
conferred
on
us
in
returning
us
King
Charles
II
.
again
to
the
fade
of
a
flourishing
Usurpation
,
must
not
cease
in
our
Choires
:
Then
my
Author's
leaf●
may
Commence
a
Sacrifice
e're
long
to
Love
and
Loyalty
,
Honour
and
Honesty
,
Courage
and
Constancy
in
Palace-yard
.
Himself
may
save
his
Bacon
,
but
the
Flame
perhaps
will
Singe
and
Smoak
him
a
little
,
and
J.
G.
G.
will
smell
of
Rank
Faction
and
Anti-Monarchical
Burnings
:
It
was
a
bold
Stroke
of
some
disaffected
Poet
or
other
to
Acumen
his
Epigram
thus
upon
the
Pastoral
Letter
:
Proh
pia
pompa
rogi
!
proh
gloria
funeris
!
Auctor
Non
meruit
fato
Nobiliore
mori
.
That
was
too
hard
upon
the
Fanaticks
,
and
the
Sting
is
too
sharp
for
my
Author's
thin
skinn'd
Conscience
.
The
Waggish
Jacks
were
at
that
time
mightily
taken
with
the
Pun
,
Burn-it
,
Burn-it
,
in
Rythm
to
its
Author
,
and
thought
I
'le
warrant
ye
,
it
hit
Oliver
a
notable
Box
on
the
Ear
for
his
Magna
Charta
,
Magna
Farta
:
But
his
Dissentership
hath
not
been
the
subject
of
one
Oxford
Jest
or
Laughter
yet
,
nor
of
a
Parliamentary
Curiosity
and
Criticism
;
to
his
chief
Credit
and
Repute
be
it
spoken
.
Revenge
and
Tears
must
burst
hence
from
a
compassionate
and
vexed
Soul
:
The
one
to
stop
his
foul
Mouth
against
our
Church
appointment
,
and
the
Dead
,
which
common
Civility
to
a
departed
Soul
might
have
done
;
and
the
Gag
of
Licensing
one
would
have
thought
,
might
have
silenced
the
notoriousest
untruth
,
and
disingenuousness
to
both
:
The
other
to
quench
a
flagrant
combustion
and
glowing
discontent
,
which
no
doubt
the
Incendiary
thinks
he
hath
sufficiently
fired
under
the
Mitre
;
our
Guy
may
fancy
he
hath
kindled
Powder
enough
to
Blow
up
a
Thousand
Churches
that
stand
in
his
way
of
Levelling
,
or
give
a
Rub
to
his
Confusion-stratagem
,
and
to
make
King
Charles
the
First's
Sacred
Ashes
to
Caper
in
the
Air
,
to
blacken
his
embalmed
Memory
,
or
to
Snuff
a
Stink
of
it
into
the
Nostrils
of
Mungril-Loyalists
,
as
much
as
Hellish
Aspersions
can
Nauseate
.
His
intentions
surely
Dance
after
Jack-Presbyter's
merry
Bagpipe
,
to
the
Tune
of
Beheading
,
Demolishing
,
Sacrificing
,
and
all
the
ings
and
twangs
of
Clashing
Destruction
in
the
established
Church
and
State
.
No
question
but
this
new
Fidling
Modeller
hath
promised
himself
to
Screw
up
his
Humanity
and
Christian
Goodness
to
a
higher
Pin
,
to
a
loftier
Cut-throat
Elah
;
and
if
times
would
serve
his
turn
,
to
change
this
Fast
into
a
Festival
:
If
his
Dissenting
Discord
and
Schismatical
Squeak
would
take
,
and
tickle
the
Asses
Ear
to
his
Auditory
,
't
is
Cross
and
Pile
whether
the
sweet
Tantony-Pig-Israelite
,
would
not
leave
his
Whining
Raptures
,
and
Braying
in
Predestinarian
Ecstasies
,
and
then
Sing
us
a
joyful
elevated
Venite
,
Exultemus
,
instead
of
a
sobbing
Air
,
sad
Obit
,
or
mournful
Ditty
(
as
p.
22.
he
hints
,
our
Psalms
and
Matins
upon
this
occasion
,
are
no
Holier
than
Balladingstuff
,
or
Bell-man's
Anthem
)
for
the
horrid
,
barbarous
,
and
deplorable
Murther
of
our
most
Gracious
,
Learned
,
Pious
KING
.
This
is
he
that
would
Hallelujah
his
God
for
the
most
execrable
Villany
on
the
Thirtieth
of
January
;
and
Veil
White-Hall
with
a
Mourning
and
Sable
Hue
,
Weep
,
and
bewail
with
a
disconsolate
Humiliation
,
the
happy
and
peaceable
Restoration
on
the
Twenty
Ninth
of
May
.
This
is
he
that
would
have
adorned
the
temples
of
that
Head
which
the
Predecessors
of
his
Jack-Catch-Kidney
cut
off
with
Bayes
,
and
have
traped
King
Charles
the
Second's
Equipage
with
Cypress
,
Owling
with
the
hideous
Screeches
of
Grief
,
that
he
should
survive
the
Fate
of
a
Martyr
,
or
return
in
the
Triumph
of
an
Unanimous
Joy
,
State
,
and
loud
Huzzahs
of
his
Welcoming
Subjects
.
His
whole
Drift
centers
,
either
totally
to
subvert
our
Ecclesiastical
Government
,
or
at
least
to
invert
the
Decent
Order
and
Religious
Administration
of
it
;
and
I
cannot
solve
this
Knot
or
Dilemma
,
whether
he
would
throw
the
Church
out
at
the
Windows
,
or
turn
her
admirable
,
not
(
as
in
his
good
natur'd
Reveries
and
Enthusiastick
Convulsion
)
superstitious
Constitutions
topsie
turvy
,
like
Passus's
Picture
of
the
Horse
in
Lucian
,
with
its
Heels
up-bank
;
for
he
is
very
Angry
that
the
People
should
be
so
much
Priest-ridden
,
p.
9.
It
is
a
monstrous
Imagination
,
or
wonderful
Fancy
of
his
,
to
represent
the
Vicar
and
his
Parishioners
as
one
great
incorporated
Centaur
.
't
is
storied
that
Vannini
had
a
wicked
Design
of
insinuating
that
there
was
no
God
,
by
his
weak
proving
that
there
was
One
;
and
of
propagating
as
well
as
confirming
Atheism
,
and
a
disbelief
of
a
Deity
,
by
his
slender
Arguments
alledged
for
its
Being
and
Existence
:
Our
Pamphleteer
is
much
in
the
same
Predicament
with
this
sly
Pernicioso
,
though
with
a
different
Design
perhaps
;
for
he
hath
done
his
good
Old
Cause
infinitely
more
hurt
than
good
by
his
impertinent
Ramble
,
and
Cobweb-reasoning
,
which
may
Catch
Flies
,
some
silly
Bigotted
Zealots
;
but
a
Hornet
must
presently
break
thorough
it
,
and
the
People
of
stronger
Sense
and
abler
Learning
it
can
never
hold
or
insnare
:
He
hath
taken
a
World
of
pains
to
Spin
out
the
Thred
of
a
sensless
as
well
as
breathless
Discourse
to
inodiate
our
Reformation
;
but
I
must
add
to
no
greater
purpose
than
to
show
us
in
effect
,
what
Weak
Hinges
the
Bosom-principles
of
their
beloved
Dissention
,
Singularity
,
and
Peevishness
do
turn
.
My
Author's
dissembling
Innuendo's
of
his
Charity
,
in
acknowledging
that
the
Fact
was
an
Horrid
Murther
,
Execrable
,
as
Black
as
Words
can
make
it
,
p.
1.
can
be
no
Blind
of
his
Obloquy
and
Calumny
to
the
Eye
of
the
unprejudiced
World
,
after
I
have
unmasked
his
Countenancing
of
it
,
set
his
traducing
indignities
against
the
solemn
Commemoration
of
it
bare-faced
,
uncloathed
the
Wolf
,
and
shown
his
true
Complexion
;
for
I
protest
,
he
is
an
ugly-squinting-wide-mouth'd
Fellow
,
as
ever
I
met
with
in
all
my
Pamphleteering
Travels
.
Herein
he
deals
with
the
Martyr
like
School-Boys
;
first
he
stroaks
his
grave
Beard
,
Memory
,
and
future
Glories
,
declaring
p.
3.
That
he
believes
God
shewed
him
Mercy
;
that
the
taking
away
his
Life
was
an
ill
thing
;
and
that
the
loud
and
crying
sin
of
Blood-guiltiness
defiles
a
Land
:
He
might
have
said
,
defiled
this
Land
.
But
afterwards
he
is
a
Rogue
and
a
Rascal
,
Arraigned
by
him
as
a
Malefactor
,
and
Justice
was
executed
upon
the
Guilty
:
Just
so
they
Flauche
and
Cully
their
School-Fellows
for
a
piece
of
Apple
,
or
a
play-thing
:
He
's
very
apt
,
and
hath
his
Accedence
at
his
Fingers-ends
;
and
in
the
unsuccessful
Event
,
they
tell
him
he
's
a
Jackanapes
,
and
a
Blockhead
.
How
much
Dust
was
beat
out
of
the
Cushion
at
St.
Mary
le
Bow
the
last
Thirtieth
of
January
to
sully
the
Face
of
the
Martyr's
Government
,
some
of
the
August
Assembly
may
be
Conscious
,
if
the
Chair
be
Oblivious
.
With
what
a
deal
of
irreverend
Dirt
was
his
fal'n
Crown
bespattered
;
such
usage
a
disaffected
Gentleman
,
or
perjured
Villain
,
may
meet
with
from
the
Hands
of
the
tenderhearted
Mob
;
and
it
is
merciful
enough
if
the
latter
does
not
pay
the
Excise
of
his
Ears
too
:
But
would
one
have
thought
such
Kennel-indignities
and
Reproach
,
the
very
Ammunition
of
the
Streets
could
be
spewed
up
from
the
Mouth
of
a
Man
of
God
,
on
a
Soveraign
,
whose
Fall
and
Dissolution
was
Violent
,
Inhumane
,
Unnatural
:
His
Sermon's
foul
,
and
false
Aspersions
sound
more
like
the
Accents
of
Rotten
Eggs
than
the
Rhetorick
of
a
Divine's
Compassion
,
or
the
humbling
Oratory
of
a
Pulpit
for
a
Sin
that
is
not
yet
Dumb
,
but
still
groans
out
,
and
pronounces
Wo
unto
us
Achitophel's
,
that
we
have
sinned
,
and
us
Shimei's
,
that
without
remorse
we
still
Curse
the
King
.
Let
me
Query
with
him
in
his
own
phrase
;
Did
that
Prince
hazard
his
Crown
,
not
out
of
Charity
to
relieve
his
Country
,
but
from
a
desire
to
oppress
it
,
and
so
died
the
Martyr
of
his
own
Folly
?
p.
2.
Was
his
decollation
a
Judgment
brought
upon
him
by
his
own
Sins
?
p.
2.
Was
his
Practice
,
or
Course
of
Justice
like
Jehoiakim's
,
which
brought
Ruin
upon
his
own
House
,
Misery
upon
his
Kingdom
,
and
Infamy
upon
his
Name
;
insomuch
that
we
ought
by
God's
own
Example
,
to
forbid
any
Lamentation
for
his
Death
,
or
decent
Burial
to
be
bestowed
on
his
Body
?
p.
9.
Were
Flatterers
and
Parasites
his
Favorites
;
or
did
he
Crumble
his
People
into
Factions
?
Did
that
good
and
peaceable
Josiah
whet
the
Anger
of
Judah
against
Benjamin
,
or
Benjamin
against
Judah
?
Was
Sycophantry
or
Tumultuary
Broils
his
Delight
,
or
those
Sins
which
were
the
Natural
and
Specifick
Causes
of
that
respective
Punishment
;
or
if
I
do
not
wrest
his
Sense
,
Was
he
a
Monarch
easily
gullified
,
and
ought
to
have
had
his
Head
in
his
Hand
for
being
so
?
p.
4.17
.
Did
he
aspire
to
an
Arbitrary
or
Despotick
Tyranny
,
which
began
those
Complaints
,
Heats
,
and
Tumults
in
the
Hearts
of
his
Subjects
;
or
was
that
Spark
innocently
and
excusably
kindled
,
which
set
the
Nation
on
Fire
,
and
which
nothing
but
the
Blood
of
their
King
could
Extinguish
?

This
Point
in
former
Controversie
,
hath
been
so
clearly
given
and
determined
against
Mr.
St
—
n's
Sentiments
,
that
Ben
Johnson's
Inigo
Lanthorn's
,
squeeking
it
is
not
so
,
in
a
Dispute
with
his
Puppet
in
a
Bartholomew-Fair
,
may
be
a
very
satisfactory
and
decisive
Answer
here
.
My
Application
of
his
hints
is
proper
and
natural
,
else
he
flourishes
up
a
Discourse
into
Idea's
of
Scripture
,
and
to
apply
them
to
any
other
times
than
those
Chronicled
of
Josiah
,
is
to
Wiredraw
them
;
and
then
the
Anniversary
Occasion
is
meerly
Notional
and
Chimerical
,
meaning
no
more
of
King
Charles's
Death
,
than
of
Sancha
Pancha's
being
toss'd
in
a
Blanket
:
Therefore
whether
he
had
rather
be
censured
for
impertinency
and
shuffling
off
the
solemn
occasion
,
and
the
Injunction
of
Holy
Church
;
or
Calumniating
and
maligning
that
Prince's
Actions
,
I
leave
him
to
choose
:
To
play
fast
and
loose
with
his
Function
,
perhaps
may
be
his
interest
,
and
interest
his
Oracle
.
His
Living
may
be
his
Delphos
,
and
Pluralities
his
Tripos
,
which
the
powerful
Rhetorick
of
Satan
staggers
the
Conscience
to
preserve
,
as
the
Devil
acted
in
defence
of
his
Oratory
,
when
he
raised
a
Tempest
of
Sand
,
and
choaked
those
Persians
therewith
who
were
sent
to
over-turn
the
Temple
of
Jupiter
Ammon
,

What
a
noise
of
late
,
Pulpit-thumping
hath
made
on
Holidays
,
set
times
of
Festivity
,
Fasts
,
and
all
solemn
Occasions
,
to
deafen
us
that
we
should
not
hear
the
Sobs
,
Shrieks
,
and
Sighs
of
a
languishing
and
sinful
Nation
?
What
Odiums
and
Disparagement
have
been
Pamphleted
from
the
Press
upon
that
King's
Prudent
Administration
of
Affairs
,
which
had
winded
up
both
Church
and
State
to
an
Eternal
Settlement
,
if
Matchivilian
Statesmen
,
and
new
Projectors
of
a
Hydra-headed
Government
had
not
unraveled
the
whole
Clue
,
to
conduct
themselves
through
the
Labyrinth
of
their
own
crooked
Fancies
and
Novelties
,
to
King
the
Mobile
or
Multitude
,
and
Crown
their
Soveraign
Lord
the
People
?
And
all
this
is
harangued
to
depreciate
the
guilt
of
imbruing
our
Hands
in
the
Blood
of
God's
Vicegerent
,
by
vilifying
his
Reason
and
Honour
as
a
Man
,
his
Religion
and
Virtues
as
a
Christian
,
and
his
Goodwill
and
Justice
to
his
Subjects
as
a
King
:
For
verily
to
retort
Mr.
St
—
n's
own
Words
,
with
a
little
variation
upon
himself
:
He
,
while
he
seems
to
bewail
the
Wound
,
seems
also
to
Justifie
the
Hand
that
Struck
and
gave
it
;
or
at
least
,
not
to
be
over-passionately
concerned
for
his
Death
.
This
Digression
is
pardonable
in
all
the
Rules
of
Complaisance
;
for
now
I
have
shook
Hands
with
my
Author's
Cousin
German
,
and
(
may
it
please
his
Eldership
)
would
it
not
have
been
Rude
not
to
have
passed
a
Complement
on
so
near
a
Relation
of
his
by
the
way
?
However
,
let
me
avoid
the
wonted
Fatigue
and
Prolixity
of
the
Brothers
of
the
Cloak
,
and
the
Cheveril-lung'd
Tediousness
of
the
Brawlers
of
the
Amsterdam-Cut
and
Querpo
,
while
I
study
Brevity
;
and
I
must
Preface
thus
much
to
my
Reader
,
that
my
intended
Aim
is
as
much
to
tread
Antipodes
to
their
long-windedness
,
as
to
their
mischievous
Politicks
;
though
to
Counter-policy
their
plotting
Policies
,
to
Countermine
their
undermining
Wheedle
,
Juggle
,
and
Dark-Lanthorn-Contrivances
against
Kingly
,
as
well
as
Church-Power
,
was
a
Task
worthy
a
Man
of
Letters
and
Piety
,
a
Province
worthy
Dr.
Nalson
.
The
obscure
Stratagems
of
Tub-arians
I
hate
,
since
GOD
hath
said
Fiat
Lux
.
How
they
have
maliced
us
,
and
tricked
us
,
one
while
Acting
Comedians
in
Religion
,
and
Frothing
Jack-Puddings
Banter
upon
us
;
another
while
acting
in
good
earnest
Tragedians
in
Justice
,
dear-bought
Experience
hath
taught
us
;
and
whereas
not
only
the
freedom
and
quiet
,
but
the
advancement
of
Presbytery
to
a
topping
Pitch
,
is
the
Mark
which
their
Consciences
,
bent
to
the
highest
,
shoot
at
,
it
will
be
no
rash
Confidence
,
or
shrewd
Conjecture
in
me
to
assign
their
Charity
,
Justice
,
and
Truth
no
other
Being
,
like
the
Philosophers
Hircocervus
,
or
first
matter
,
but
in
Terms
.
I
am
amazed
at
the
Negligence
or
Supineness
of
our
most
Orthodox
Clergy
at
this
Juncture
;
certainly
they
are
not
wrapt
up
in
Gown
and
Cassock
for
Sleep
and
Repose
:
Were
they
the
greatest
Lurdans
,
methinks
the
Bawl
of
unlearned
Opinions
,
and
Scandalous
both
to
the
Palace
and
See
,
lately
broached
on
the
Thirtieth
of
January
,
might
have
awakened
them
into
a
Militant
Vigilance
before
May
,
and
roused
the
Levitical
Slug
from
Ease
and
Idleness
,
to
have
defeated
the
illiterate
Force
of
a
few
Presbyterian
Scriblers
,
before
they
should
Form
a
more
Numerous
and
Formidable
Rapparism
;
if
their
Mobility
once
get
a
Head
,
it
will
be
hard
to
disperse
them
:
If
an
Enemy
is
suffered
to
come
in
upon
us
,
he
may
easily
Wrastle
us
into
his
Mercy
,
and
the
Melancholy
Stander-by
,
may
see
us
thrown
at
their
Will
and
Pleasure
into
Socinianism
,
Arianism
,
Anabaptism
,
Calvinism
,
Common-wealthism
,
or
any
other
Heretical-ism
,
to
the
utter
Abolition
of
our
Communion
,
or
downfall
,
ruin
,
and
Rubbish
of
the
Fundamentals
as
well
as
Ceremonies
of
our
Religion
and
Devotion
.
With
Joy
and
Congratulation
I
allow
the
great
Daniel
B
—
s
,
(
his
God's
mighty
intimate
and
Chrony
,
or
Election-Huckster
to
his
Cullied
Disciples
,
for
having
made
them
Cry
with
the
hard
words
of
Hell
and
Damnation
,
he
Spices
their
Tears
with
softer
Language
,
and
Sugar-plumbs
the
Whimpering
Elect
into
Patience
)
the
Liberty
of
Conscience
;
but
let
our
Bishops
and
Pastors
look
to
it
,
whether
he
,
or
some
of
the
same
Herd
with
that
Bell-wether
of
Schism
,
makes
Conscience
of
that
Liberty
.
I
do
not
deny
those
Spirits
of
Faction
,
the
gracious
and
pacificatory
Favour
of
the
State
;
for
that
Power
can
only
Exorcise
,
or
lay
the
Legion
thus
:
But
then
let
their
Preachments
move
within
their
own
Orb
,
and
the
Sweet-Singer-of
Israel
Humm
and
Buz
within
his
own
Sphere
,
and
Sternhold
it
no
further
;
for
when
an
ambitious
Genius
,
and
a
hot
,
aspiring
,
and
flaming
Perswasion
is
emboldened
,
or
hurried
aside
into
an
Eccentrick
Motion
,
it
is
dangerous
,
and
must
,
with
Partridges
leave
,
presage
a
Civil
Combustion
;
and
by
the
courteous
Condescension
of
a
State-Prophet
,
or
Chimney-Augur
,
must
foretell
a
smoaking
disaster
,
and
doleful
Eclipse
of
the
Radiant
Meridian
Lustre
of
the
Gospel
that
shines
now
among
us
only
with
refracted
Beams
in
England
.
Must
we
give
ground
to
these
Onsets
though
they
be
Frivolous
?
What
a
little
scar
or
flaw
in
the
Face
hath
turned
to
a
Canker
,
so
that
Incisions
,
Amputations
,
and
all
the
Skill
of
Chirurgery
could
not
work
the
Cure
?
Must
we
give
way
to
the
Accomplishment
of
these
deplorable
Gulphs
or
Chasms
,
and
not
retard
the
great
Ends
of
little
sly
Designs
?
Trivial
and
Pigmy-means
have
executed
the
vastest
and
most
Giant-intentions
:
And
the
most
insignificant
Creature
a
Pismire
,
could
vent
it
's
Spleen
upon
the
Eagle's
Eggs
,
even
in
Jupiter's
Lap
;
we
have
the
Moral
here
.
Must
we
finally
retreat
into
Silence
?
I
hope
it
is
but
to
Rally
with
powerfuller
stress
of
Argument
and
Confutation
;
insomuch
,
that
our
Faithful
Clergy
in
a
total
Rout
of
the
Achilles
,
and
all
his
Myrmidon's
or
Emmets
of
Presbytery
,
may
be
Crowned
with
the
Trophies
of
Unity
,
Amity
,
Uniformity
,
and
the
Blessing
of
Peace
;
or
,
if
this
be
too
Hostile
an
Alarm
,
may
they
give
'em
a
more
amicable
Battel
,
and
Accept
the
Dissenters
,
those
Banditi
,
Moss-Troopers
,
and
Rapparees
of
Religion
,
their
Overtures
or
Capitulations
for
Surrendring
themselves
honourably
to
our
Conquering
Communion
and
Winning
Liturgy
.
Then
may
Whig
and
Tory
Kiss
each
other
,
and
Righteousness
and
Peace
will
flourish
in
our
Land
.
My
greatest
Utinam
is
,
that
I
were
able
to
Book
that
Glorious
Pacificatorium
,
or
happy
Eirenicon
in
these
distracted
times
,
which
might
universally
reconcile
our
differences
,
and
heal
our
Breaches
beyond
Festering
or
Relapse
.
Upon
these
Considerations
,
I
could
not
hold
from
wagging
my
Finger
in
this
Quarrel
;
I
have
only
played
the
Scout
,
I
confess
,
and
told
the
Army
of
our
Church
of
the
approach
of
an
Enemy
:
Surprize
is
half
a
Victory
.
Though
it
be
not
the
Province
of
a
Lay-Man
,
yet
may
it
Excite
and
Fan
some
Nobler
Soul
in
our
Hierarchy
,
to
Breath
out
a
warmer
Discourse
upon
this
Topick
.
What
other
Character
can
be
given
of
the
Capricio's
,
Ignorance
,
Self-conceit
and
Love
,
Presumption
and
Bigotry
of
our
Dissenting
Brethren
,
but
that
they
shufflle
and
pack
all
Religion
and
secular
Rule
up
into
singular
Chimera's
,
subtile
Maggoticism
,
zealous
Phrensies
or
Whimsies
,
and
have
Cynical-Gnostical
Idea's
of
Temporal
and
Spiritual
Regimen
.
They
are
industriously
busied
Tooth
and
Nail
,
Pen
and
Tongue-concerned
for
a
regulated
Employment
,
and
a
just
or
holy
Exercise
of
Gown
and
Sword
;
but
then
all
is
huddled
together
,
Omnium
gatherum
,
into
Confusion
and
Barbarism
;
and
all
our
Chronicles
can
aver
,
how
at
last
they
were
fain
to
leave
the
Reformed
Hotch-potch
they
had
made
of
Church
and
State
in
an
indigested
and
chaos'd
humblejumble
.
It
is
not
long
ago
since
our
Nation
was
uncrowned
,
unmanned
,
and
I
may
say
,
unchristianed
too
,
and
in
a
manner
dis-elemented
by
those
Brick-layers
of
Babel
:
The
wisest
of
our
Forefathers
foresaw
clearly
then
(
and
pray
what
should
Infatuate
or
Blind
their
Progeny
?
)
that
it
was
too
weighty
a
Work
for
a
Hub-bub
of
Massanello's
,
or
Mob
of
Mechanicks
,
to
New-vamp
Monarchy
and
Episcopacy
better
.
They
aimed
at
something
,
but
the
Lord
knows
what
;
for
we
had
like
to
have
disappeared
,
and
Vanished
into
the
Old
Nothing
and
Disorder
;
yet
at
long-run
,
nothing
but
the
Restoration
of
Majesty
in
Misery
and
Exile
,
or
a
joynt
Monarchical
and
Episcopal
Fiat
could
reduce
the
City
and
Countrey's
Tolly-Polly
,
hoite
cum
toite-management
of
Affairs
,
Exotick
and
Domestick
Commerce
,
Protection
,
Subjection
,
Liberty
,
and
Property
,
to
pristine
Beauty
and
Form
:
And
He
being
Dead
,
yet
speaketh
,
and
most
truly
divined
,
That
GOD
would
not
suffer
those
long
to
prosper
in
their
Babel
,
who
Builded
it
with
the
Bones
,
and
Cemented
it
with
the
Blood
of
their
Kings
,

Now
what
would
these
Mole-workers
be
at
throwing
up
Dust
and
Mould
in
their
Gracious
Majesties
Vineyard
,
to
put
out
the
Eyes
of
Justice
in
their
Courts
,
(
which
for
another
reason
,
the
Smart
whereof
such
Eye-sores
deserve
to
feel
,
is
painted
Blind
)
and
of
Religion
,
Conscience
,
and
Prerogative
in
their
Cathedrals
?
How
unable
are
the
Arts
and
Abilities
of
Handicraft
,
the
sagacities
of
the
Fraternity
of
the
sanctified
Awl
or
Louse-stabbing-launce
,
the
Qualifications
of
Religious
Button-makers
,
and
the
Wits
of
the
Company
of
inspired
Manufacturers
,
to
New-model
this
Illustrious
Government
to
compleater
Perfection
,
or
Consummation
of
Glory
and
Renown
?
In
short
,
we
are
pestered
with
a
Crowd
of
Busie-bodies
,
who
are
minded
to
Sow
all
the
Tares
they
can
in
the
Kingdom
,
and
put
us
to
the
trouble
of
Weeding
:
Or
,
like
Monkies
,
that
steal
away
when
they
have
broke
those
Glasses
they
cannot
mend
again
,
they
do
all
the
Mischief
and
Havock
in
the
power
of
a
Hurly-Burly
,
fomenting
Jealousies
,
Piques
,
and
Murmurings
,
and
at
last
slingingly
Sneak
into
an
Auger-hole
,
Coblers-stall
,
or
Loom-shop
.
't
is
true
of
the
urgers
of
Tub
and
Table-end
Controversies
what
was
otherwise
applied
,
that
they
are
the
Phaetons
of
Mankind
,
who
Fire
that
Nation
which
they
would
seem
by
their
spiritful
Emotions
and
Haranguing
Heats
but
to
Warm
.
And
sincerely
I
cannot
esteem
them
the
best
affected
People
to
this
present
Government
,
since
,
when
their
Republican
Zeal
is
inflamed
into
Revenge
,
what
can
quench
it
,
but
the
Blood
of
an
Archbishop
,
and
their
King
too
:
If
their
priviledges
,
inclosures
,
communities
,
immunities
,
or
Libertinism
be
intrenched
upon
;
if
their
Copyhold
is
touched
never
so
slightly
,
like
Tinder
they
take
,
and
some
of
them
have
owned
with
abundance
of
Scotch-Eloquence
,
what
Incentives
have
been
ingled
to
them

must
be
Deaf
to
all
humble
Addresses
,
but
their
own
Clamorous
,
Treacherous
,
and
Judas-salutes

whereas
I
never

It
is
by
these
steps
that
Old
Arts
advance
and
picqueer
to
our
Dementation
and
Overthrow
;
when
Envy
and
Haughtiness
seek
innovations
by
Faction
,
and
publish
their
inward
frettings
and
gallish
Commotions
against
the
Annual
Commemoration
of
the
Notorious
Murder
of
a
Prince
,
have
a
care
of
dis-robing
Majesty
again
,
and
bringing
it
in
Presbyterian
Pomp
to
the
Block
:
An
English
Monarch
should
by
a
kind
of
Royal
Sympathy
,
Tremble
,
Shrink
,
and
Spurn
;
and
his
Crown
Totter
at
the
approach
of
a
Regicide
:
And
if
Ludlow
tread
near
upon
the
Heels
of
Regal
Power
or
Presence
,
it
is
pity
but
he
had
his
Teeth
or

dash'd
out
of
his
Head
for
his
murthering
Audacity
.
Such
Villains
have
Scaffolds
erected
in
their
Breasts
,
and
if
Colour
and
Occasion
offer
themselves
fairly
,
they
are
presently
screwed
up
before
Whitehall-gate
too
:
Some
of
the
same
48-Coyn-Impostors
,
and
Rebellious
Traytors
,
could
with
Heart
and
Hand
Prologue
to
the
like
Bloody
Tragedy
anew
,
under
the
gulling
Pretence
of
reforming
Religion
and
Policy
,
and
God
knows
in
what
King's
Reign
we
might
sing
the
Epilogue
or
Chorus
the
Exit
.
I
much
question
whether
the
Axe
be
yet
laid
aside
since
my
Author
would
have
us
to
forget
and
forgive
that
fatal
Blow
before
time
hath
rusted
the
Weapon
that
gave
it
,
and
made
us
all
truckle
to
Cruelty
and
a
State
of
Force
,
as
if
the
Loyal
Cavaliers
had
all
had
but
one
Neck
,
and
Nero
had
executed
his
Wish
:
And
does
he
crotchet
that
five
and
forty
Years
are
sufficient
to
Stanch
the
Issue
or
Sea
of
that
Royal
Blood
?
My
Veins
tell
me
without
Lunacy
,
it
still
flows
upon
this
Nation
,
and
threatens
it
with
a
deluge
of
Destruction
;
and
what
can
keep
it
at
an
Ebb
,
or
divert
the
Menaces
of
Calamity
from
inundating
upon
us
,
but
Fasting
and
Prayer
?
What
can
stemm
it
but
the
exorated
Mercy
of
an
Almighty
?
Does
he
think
Christianity
,
and
the
memory
of
his
Decollation
ought
to
have
expired
with
the
King
on
the
Theatre
of
his
Death
,
or
that
the
Sin
crying
for
Vengeance
,
and
no
sooner
committed
,
but
recorded
in
the
Rolls
of
an
Omnipotent
Fury
,
should
be
staged
over
only
in
Shew
,
and
no
better
than
a
Play-house-reality
?
Ought
GOD's
Anger
and
his
Princely
Innocence
to
have
been
buried
together
in
the
Grave
of
an
ignoble
Oblivion
?
How
should
we
wipe
off
that
Stain
of
so
deep
a
Dye
,
when
the
Abettors
of
that
Murder
lewdly
touch
his
sacred
Tomb
,
and
their
guilt
of
inhumanity
makes
him
bleed
afresh
?
How
should
we
asswage
that
Sin's
deep-mouth'd
roar
for
Punishment
and
Epidemical
Penalties
,
when
Fanatical
Billows
do
but
Swell
the
Tide
and
Rage
of
it
higher
?
Is
Beheading
a
King
no
Barbarity
,
killing
him
a
malignant
,
no
Murder
?
From
such
Principles
Libera
nos
Domine
;
and
he
that
denies
this
Litany
,
is
not
to
be
confuted
without
a
Rope
,
or
convinced
till
he
comes
to
a
Tyburn-confession
;
and
how
should
he
have
the
benefit
of
Old
Necksaving-Legit
for
such
an
Offence
,
when
at
the
same
time
he
denies
Scripture
,
and
renounces
his
Faith
with
God
and
his
King
?
But
our
Author
Opinionates
,
that
Trespasses
of
the
first
magnitude
might
be
forgotten
as
well
as
Petit
Injuries
forgiven
?
Is
a
King
a
Mushroom
that
grows
up
in
a
Night
,
and
must
be
pickled
in
his
own
Blood
the
next
Morning
?
Or
if
you
bid
him
Good
Morrow
,
must
he
be
lopt
off
in
the
dawn
of
his
Youth
?
Is
he
like
an
Insect
of
some
few
Warm
and
Calm
Days
duration
,
but
a
Storm
comes
,
and
then
he
no
sooner
Dies
,
but
he
must
be
Rotten
too
,
and
the
Memory
of
him
ought
to
be
but
an
{αβγδ}
,
forgotten
,
and
annihilated
as
soon
as
he
is
dissolved
and
interr'd
?
At
this
Period
my
Author
may
think
I
should
recover
my self
with
one
of
his
lusty
Humphs
;
and
give
him
leave
to
turn
the
Hour-glass
of
his
Life
,
and
Lownry
once
again
:
And
so
I
do
,
Good-fellow
,
as
often
as
he
pleases
.
But
I
must
now
descend
to
Particulars
,
and
consider
his
Observations
more
concisely
and
a
propós
.
Every
Thirtieth
of
January
doth
renew
his
thoughts
yearly
upon
the
occasion
of
that
day
;
and
surely
puts
him
all
in
a
pother
:
He
is
almost
out
of
Breath
at
first
Start
,
and
Salutes
the
World
puffing
and
Blowing
with
two
Cardinal
Winds
of
Doctrine
.
The
thing
,
says
he
,
hath
two
several
Aspects
.
He
always
Things
the
Martyrdom
,
just
as
Men
do
that
in
Conversation
which
they
hate
to
Name
.
However
well
spied
,
Janus
;
this
is
the
Luck
of
having
two
Faces
:
Hypocrisie
is
Cat-eyed
,
and
sees
nine
ways
at
once
.
For
either
it
looks
upon
the
Act
of
some
Men
against
the
living
,
or
upon
what
others
have
done
,
and
still
do
for
the
Dead
:
The
former
is
unlawful
,
and
the
latter
contrary
to
true
Religion
.
First
,
Why
Unlawful
?
It
vexes
his
Righteous
Soul
,
and
exasperates
his
Spirits
to
an
Inveteracy
against
,
and
hatred
of
the
Pulpit
,
to
be
told
from
it
of
the
Failings
and
Cruelties
of
his
Party
,
as
much
as
a
Sermon
against
High-Commoding
and
Top-Knotting
,
stomacks
my
Lady-all-pride
:
It
touches
him
in
the
most
sensible
part
,
and
Wounds
him
in
an
Old
Sore
;
it
makes
the
Gall
in
his
Ears
overflow
;
and
do
you
think
Christianity
can
Brutifie
him
into
the
harmlesness
of
a
Dove
,
or
that
he
is
as
mauped
as
a
Stoick
or
Apathist
,
not
to
be
incensed
if
you
disgorge
his
loathsome
Actions
,
and
Spit
the
Filth
of
his
own
Principles
in
his
Face
?
He
hath
a
Magazine
of
Blocks
,
Halters
and
Gibbets
for
such
Consecrated
Affronts
,
or
Church-bred
Rudenesses
;
and
the
Parson
may
read
a
Wish
in
his
Physs
,
that
he
could
Hang
him
with
his
Looks
.
Do
we
imagine
he
should
esteem
himself
a
welcom
Guest
,
or
that
a
Hospitable
Roof
under
which
his
National
Crimes
are
always
tauntingly
thrown
in
his
Dish
,
and
he
is
uncharitably
asked
,
what
his
Cannibal-Appetite
says
forsooth
,
to
a
King's
Head
for
the
last
Course
?
Alas
for
the
mischievous
adage
!
Senes
bis
pueri
,
and
the
gray-headed-Child
,
or
hoary
Elder-sprig
is
bug-beared
away
from
our
Church
with
Raw-Head
and
Bloody
bones
.
Is
not
all
this
unlawful
?
Are
not
such
harsh
and
unpleasant
Practices
to
be
revenged
of
with
Schism
and
Faction
?
Are
not
those
Pulpit-Panegyricks
on
King
CHARLES's
memorable
Vertues
and
Invectives
against
the
Regicide
,
enough
to
unsheath
the
Civil
Sword
,
and
set
the
whole
Kingdom
at
Daggers-drawing
?
Well
,
since
he
despairs
of
Reforming
our
Oratories
from
such
netling
Harangues
,
his
resolve
is
to
be
no
longer
an
any-thing-Arian
,
but
a
thorow-pac'd
Dissenter
;
Such
a
Revenge
I
remember
a
certain
Town-fool
hath
always
in
his
Mouth
,
if
any
of
his
Allowance-masters
or
Almoners
vexeth
him
,
he
will
not
come
to
his
Doors
for
a
Week
afterwards
;
He
'll
fit
him
there
.
But
hark
,
our
Master
of
Reason
!
It
were
better
to
forget
those
things
than
to
renew
the
Memory
of
them
,
which
continues
Divisions
.
Is
this
Christian
Logick
;
were
it
better
to
wrap
up
our
Gospel-talents
in
an
idle
Napkin
of
Silence
and
Oblivion
,
than
to
Preach
and
Evangelize
the
Jews
out
of
the
Pale
of
the
Christian
Church
?
The
Sequel
is
,
we
must
never
hope
to
Proselyte
them
by
Reproof
,
or
telling
them
of
their
Sins
.
Unity
in
Religion
sounds
much
of
Heaven
,
its
Harmonious
Hierarchy
,
and
the
Bliss
of
Souls-separate
;
it
Images
GOD
to
us
on
Earth
,
and
our
Church
might
have
shown
as
fair
a
Stamp
of
that
triumphant
Glory
and
Celestial
Amity
as
any
in
Christendom
,
if
the
irreconcilable
Vagaries
,
gross-carnal
Novelties
,
and
intestine
Contrasto's
of
such
Whimsical
Religionaries
,
as
he
,
had
not
mangled
and
Scarr'd
the
Beauty
of
her
Holiness
,
had
not
Split
her
into
Divisions
and
Subdivisions
,
to
the
Wreck
of
the
precious
Cargo
of
her
Unity
and
Purity
,
and
made
her
altogether
Militant
with
the
Fry
of
Sectaries
.
The
Division
he
imputes
to
the
keeping
an
Anniversary
,
is
an
Idol
of
his
own
making
and
continuance
,
and
he
meerly
slaves
himself
with
Bandying
about
his
own
Principle
.
Novelty
is
the
Dalilah
he
Hugs
and
Embraces
till
he
's
betrayed
into
Division
and
Weakness
,
and
then
the
Sampson's
strongest
Efforts
cannot
shoulder
down
our
Church
.
He
Cries
out
against
Divisions
and
giving
Offences
,
as
the
Impudentest
Crack
about
Town
usually
Exclaims
,
Lord
!
The
Impudence
of
some
Women
!
When
no
Brothel-House-Pander
is
able
to
Match
Pimping
and
Prostitution
with
her
.
It
is
the
Bawd's
own
Jealousie
that
makes
her
cry
Whore
first
.
What
Divisions
can
this
Day
of
Humiliation
enlarge
or
continue
,
but
those
the
Espousers
whereof
dethroned
and
vanquished
Majesty
to
a
Grave
,
sacrificed
it
to
Popular
Fury
,
and
left
the
Sin
of
their
Victory
unsubdued
,
and
their
Rebellious
Error
unrecanted
by
some
of
their
Posterity
to
this
day
?
Would
they
revoke
that
signal
Wickedness
,
and
demonstrate
their
Repentance
with
an
Equal
Popularity
,
they
should
Confederate
their
Prayers
with
us
,
to
deprecate
the
respective
Punishment
and
Vengeance
of
it
.
't
is
true
,
the
most
Languishing
Devotions
and
Ejaculatory
Sighs
cannot
restore
to
Life
,
or
remedy
what
is
past
;
the
weeping
of
a
Jesus
could
only
give
poor
Lazarus
a
Glorious
and
Extraordinary
Resurrection
on
Earth
:
But
our
Tears
somewhat
sincerer
than
the
Crocodile's
,
may
perhaps
Avert
the
Judgment
which
hath
not
yet
discharged
its
self
in
Plague
or
Fire
upon
the
present
Fautors
of
that
Rebellion
,
the
Witchcraft
and
very
primum
mobile
of
our
Divisions
:
Witchcraft
,
I
say
;
and
the
belief
of
a
Wrath
impending
,
like
Democles's
Sword
,
must
be
the
chief
Spell
against
our
further
Incantation
.
His
Head
was
severed
from
his
Body
,
and
not
with
Peleus's
Hasta
that
could
Wound
and
Heal
;
I
wonder
at
my
Author's
Plain
dealing
here
among
all
the
Salvo's
of
Commonwealth-Laws
,
that
he
does
not
play
the
Sorcerer
with
us
,
or
give
us
a
touch
of
his
Medea's
Skill
,
and
say
he
was
only
killed
like
Aeson
,
to
renew
his
declining
Youth
and
Regal
Vigour
.
But
after
Acts
of
Oblivion
for
such
things
are
passed
,
the
memory
thereof
ought
to
be
forgotten
,
p.
2.
Is
he
assured
that
that
Act
is
ingrossed
in
the
Book
of
Life
,
or
that
an
Omniscient
Mercy
hath
Recorded
our
Indemnity
?
By
what
Angel
,
and
to
whom
below
was
the
Bill
Winged
down
,
and
our
Pardon
delivered
?
How
neatly
would
he
plead
Prescription
to
God's
Justice
at
the
highest
Tribunal
,
against
the
Penalty
of
a
Sin
,
or
in
an
Arrest
of
Judgment
,
and
to
stay
its
infliction
?
What
a
Westminster-madness
is
this
to
pretend
an
Injunction
against
the
Proceedings
of
an
Invisible
and
Incontroulable
Judicature
?
Must
we
presumptuously
fobb
a
forgetfulness
upon
the
Mercy-seat
above
?
Such
an
impenitent
Presumption
or
Demurrer
is
most
likely
to
hasten
the
Execution
of
GOD's
Wrath
and
Justice
.
What!
Are
Five
and
Forty
Years
,
or
a
Thousand
,
(
which
are
to
him
but
as
one
,
and
the
shortest
day
in
thy
Almanack
)
time
out
of
Memory
with
Heaven
and
its
Omniscience
?
Certainly
National
Punishments
are
Relative
to
,
and
intailed
upon
National
Sins
;
and
what
should
cut
off
that
entail
from
our
otherwise
forlorn
Posterities
,
but
a
solemn
Anniversary
Repentance
,
and
a
repeated
Renunciation
of
those
Religious
Divisions
which
tinctured
and
imbrued
the
Hands
of
their
peccant
Fore-elders
in
the
Sanguine
Laver
of
Cruelty
?
The
River
Lethe
cannot
take
out
the
Stains
of
their
Honour
and
Perswasion
.
A
penitent
Revocation
of
their
mistaken
Politicks
,
must
un-negro
and
dealbate
their
grim
actions
,
and
nothing
else
can
blanch
o're
the
blots
in
the
Escutcheon
of
their
Convert-Assemblies
.
No
;
how
fain
would
the
Pilate
wash
his
Hands
of
Innocent
Blood
,
and
forget
the
dictates
of
his
own
Conscience
to
please
a
party
?
Is
the
Sin
expiated
;
is
the
Crime
attoned
for
?
or
that
Butchery
of
the
Prince
of
our
Worldly
Peace
and
darling
of
our
Church's
militant
success
and
temporal
Felicity
(
who
had
no
more
Justice
than
the
Shambles
allow
a
Calf
,
or
the
Slaughter-House
an
Oxe
)
forgiven
?
Must
we
now
let
him
lye
buried
with
the
Burial
of
an
Ass
,
and
not
Eccho
his
Obsequies
down
to
coming
Loyalty
?
Must
lying
Infamy
,
and
some
Men's
foulest
Obloquies
deface
his
best
Features
,
deform
the
most
Beautiful
of
his
Actions
,
or
Contempt
and
Forgetfulness
stick
upon
his
Blessed
Memory
?
Must
future
Ages
have
no
Nobler
Tradition
of
his
goodness
and
justice
,
than
what
the
bitter
Sarcasm
or
old
taunt
of
Execution
can
convey
to
them
,
or
immortalize
,
—
Satia
te
sanguine
,
Cyrequem
fitisti
?
Hitherto
my
Author
hath
been
making
his
Pastime
,
or
a
Game
of
King
Charles's
Death
,
and
the
upshot
is
,
that
its
enough
once
for
all
really
and
heartily
to
have
done
:
His
Tongue-ty'd
Malice
would
not
let
him
speak
out
to
have
celebrated
the
Martyrdom
with
a
Devotional
remembrance
;
after
that
it
degenerates
into
Formality
and
Foppery
.
This
is
the
{αβγδ}
of
our
mighty-regenerate
,
and
a
would-be-Puritan
:
If
he
once
makes
us
Formalists
in
Divinity
,
we
are
his
Lads
of
Wax
,
and
our
next
Impression
shall
be
Presbytery
.
Here
he
prescribes
the
Performance
for
our
Dead
Soveraign
;
and
makes
no
more
of
his
Government
,
Actions
,
Suspiria
Regalia
in
Troubles
,
Tragical
Sufferings
on
the
Stage
of
his
Life
,
or
Memory
of
all
this
than
of
a
Play
or
Noisy
Farce
,
which
never
took
in
the
Pit
or
Gallery
of
the
World
,
and
being
once
damned
is
never
to
be
acted
over
again
.
But
why
once
for
all
,
why
so
precise
and
punctual
to
Unite
?
The
most
effectual
method
he
can
take
to
make
us
leave
swallowing
Formalities
,
Superstitions
,
and
drinking
those
Dregs
of
Popery
(
as
he
mis-calls
our
Ceremonial
Worship
)
will
be
the
same
way
the
Grocer's
Boy
is
Cured
of
his
Eating
Plumbs
,
when
we
have
had
our
Belly
full
of
them
:
Let
him
take
Selden's
probatum
for
't
.
As
for
him
,
we
never
hope
to
see
his
Covenant-maw
cloyed
with
Seditious
Doctrines
,
He
digest
Novelties
so
fast
,
and
loves
Varieties
so
well
.
I
wonder
his
Perswasion
like
his
Palate
,
should
not
Relish
any
thing
Twice
which
he
grants
to
be
Wholsome
and
Innocent
once
,
but
Extempore
Repetitions
,
and
Fulsom
Tautologies
,
wherewith
their
whole
Service
is
stuffed
like
Beef
,
and
larded
like
Bacon
;
the
same
thing
over
and
over
through
the
whole
Piece
.
Secondly
,
It
is
contrary
to
true
Religion
to
keep
the
Thirtieth
of
January
:
This
is
the
Scare-crow
that
keeps
the
Rook
our
of
our
Vineyard
.
First
our
Church's
Appointments
and
Solemnities
widen
the
Breach
of
Christian
Union
,
and
then
we
run
quite
counter
to
the
whole
Tenure
of
true
and
sound
Religion
;
just
as
a
Nurse
cries
to
the
Child
,
pah
,
pah
,
when
she
would
not
have
it
touch
a
thing
it
hath
a
mind
to
Eat
;
so
he
frights
his
Infant-Converts
,
telling
'em
they
must
not
go
to
the
Church
,
there
's
no
good
Food
for
their
Souls
;
whereas
perhaps
neither
of
them
could
study
or
prescribe
a
more
suitable
and
salutary
Repast
for
either
Constitution
.
This
grand
Charge
he
groundlesly
advances
to
bring
us
down
to
his
Lure
;
and
does
he
think
we
hover
in
an
Airy
Religion
,
and
are
to
be
inveigled
and
captivated
,
like
a
Company
of
silly
giddy
Larks
?
Are
we
turned
like
Weather-cocks
,
with
an
empty
Puff
of
Doctrin
?
Is
our
Faith
as
unstable
as
Rushes
,
not
to
abide
the
weakest
Shock
and
Gale
of
a
Discourse
unshaken
?
Surely
himself
could
have
no
good
Opinion
of
such
easie
Proselytes
.
Fly
Irreligion
and
Idolatry
;
this
Call
sounds
sweetly
,
like
the
Hyaena's
Voice
if
it
were
not
counterfeited
,
to
allure
us
out
of
the
Church
and
the
Grotto
of
our
Peace
,
to
the
Destruction
of
Ecclesiastical
Power
and
Tranquility
;
if
her
ravishing
Inticements
call
forth
the
Shepherd
,
she
devours
him
in
the
Decoy
,
and
then
the
Orphaned
Flock
must
go
astray
.
King
Charles
,
with
a
judicious
Foresight
,
hath
given
a
brave
Counter-Cuffe
to
our
round-head-Disputant
in
his
Meditation
upon
the
Ordinance
against
the
Common-Prayer-Book
.
Here
's
a
Rowland
for
his
Oliver
:
It
is
no
News
to
have
all
Innovations
ushered
in
with
the
Name
of
Reformation
in
Church
and
State
by
those
who
seeking
to
gain
Reputation
with
the
vulgar
for
their
extraordinary
Parts
and
Piety
,
must
needs
undo
whatever
was
formerly
setled
never
so
well
and
wisely
.
And
the
Words
of
a
King
,
a
Scholar
,
and
an
Orator
,
upon
the
specious
Reformations
of
those
Times
,
must
pierce
him
to
the
Bowels
of
his
religious
and
hypocritical
Pretensions
.
What
Dissolutions
of
all
Order
and
Government
in
the
Church
;
what
Novelties
of
Schisms
;
what
Undecencies
and
Confusions
in
sacred
Administrations
;
what
sacrilegious
Invasions
upon
the
Rights
and
Revenues
of
the
Church
;
what
Contempt
and
Oppressions
of
the
Clergy
;
what
injurious
Diminutions
and
Persecutions
of
me
have
followed
(
as
Showers
do
warm
Gleams
)
the
Talk
of
Reformation
,
all
sober
Men
are
Witnesses
,
and
with
my self
,
sad
Spectators
hitherto
?
And
do
you
know
Hercules
by
his
Foot
again
,
or
a
Lion
by
his
Paw
?
He
hath
sent
his
Book
abroad
as
a
Jackall
,
and
only
wants
to
grasp
his
Prey
:
If
we
will
become
his
dearly
beloved
,
he
will
preach
Mince-Pies
and
Custards
to
his
Babes
of
infallible
Grace
,
and
hugg
us
;
but
then
;
just
as
the
Monkey
does
her
young
ones
,
squeeze
us
to
Death
and
Reprobation
at
last
.
How
should
we
pin
our
Faith
upon
his
Sleeve
,
or
hang
it
upon
that
Cloak
,
and
hope
to
scale
the
Battlements
of
Heaven
,
when
Bur
—
ss
tells
us
it
is
so
easily
unbuttoned
,
and
then
we
drop
the
Lord
knows
whither
,
not
into
a
Saw-pit
,
but
a
bottomless
Hell
?
Then
we
must
take
an
eternal
Swing
of
falling
,
undergo
a
worse
Agony
,
and
have
harder
Language
,
or
a
terribler
Bruit
than
we
had
in
Daniel's
Den
.
His
Party
rails
against
our
Church-Power
as
my
Tippling
Hostess
does
against
Caudles
and
Burnt-Claret
that
comes
a
Day
after
the
Gossipping
Fare
,
and
can
get
none
of
it
;
for
I
am
of
the
Lord
Lauder
dal's
Opinion
,
That
we
might
stop
any
of
their
mouths
with
a
Bishoprick
.
Himself
talks
as
much
of
Religion
and
our
Differences
,
as
the
Cowardly
Bully
does
of
Roaring
,
Hectoring
,
and
Fighting
,
and
much
to
the
same
Humour
;
for
neither
of
them
do
ever
lend
a
Hand
to
decide
a
Quarrel
,
or
endeavour
a
Pacification
,
so
long
as
they
carry
off
the
Spoil
;
and
accommodating
the
Matter
is
the
least
to
their
Interest
,
or
Booty
of
Pick-Pocketting
and
Sharping
:
Yet
this
I
must
say
for
the
Champion
of
Dissention
,
that
he
is
no
Coward
or
Faint-Heart
;
for
seeing
our
Church-men
together
by
the
Ears
about
Stating
the
Controversie
of
Schism
and
Allegiance
,
our
Adversary
fairly
and
courageously
steps
up
between
'em
,
and
hits
'em
both
a
Box
on
the
Ear
,
and
is
resolute
in
the
Scramble
to
carry
away
the
Bone
;
and
he
may
call
them
Mastiffs
of
Law
and
Divinity
,
if
he
please
,
I
am
afraid
e're
long
they
'll
both
be
upon
the
Bear
.
I
would
fain
know
how
his
Conventicle-Religion
comes
to
be
the
best
,
purest
,
and
most
Evangelical
.
Is
it
so
fine
because
it
hath
stood
his
own
Apostolical
Test
or
Refining
,
and
is
of
his
own
Phrantick
Brain's
Coining
?
I
had
like
to
have
said
Clipping
too
;
for
he
Dutchifies
it
,
and
lops
off
all
Ceremonies
as
superfluous
Branches
,
or
Prunes
it
of
all
sapless
Decencies
;
but
I
think
he
hates
Circumcision
,
and
such
Ceremonial
Trumperies
of
the
Old
Law
.
I
could
never
yet
believe
the
Herald
to
be
the
best
Gentleman
,
because
he
makes
his
own
Pedigree
:
And
the
curiousest
Blazonry
of
his
Coat
shall
not
convince
me
of
his
Extraction's
being
the
most
Illustrious
;
I
always
suspect
this
Bravo's
Escutcheon
and
Gentility
of
Descent
,
and
that
Man's
Geneva-Bounce
or
Comment
upon
the
Excellency
of
his
own
Profession
.
To
prove
the
Antiquity
of
their
Presbytery
,
they
misinterpret
the
word
Presbyter
in
the
Fathers
,
and
wrest
their
Sense
to
make
their
Profession
venerable
for
its
Oldness
;
so
he
that
delights
in
Opticks
would
perswade
us
,
that
when
Julius
Caesar
came
into
England
,
he
had
Perspective-Glasses
,
because
it
is
said
,
Positis
Speculis
:
Whereas
nothing
was
meant
but
his
Watch
or
Sentinel
that
discovered
how
the
Land
lay
:
We
are
apt
to
strain
any
thing
to
the
most
incredible
Sense
that
makes
for
our
Opinions
,
though
the
intrinsick
Truth
of
it
be
most
incompatible
with
our
Inventions
and
Practices
;
which
is
the
very
Fountain-head
of
Vulgar
Perswasions
and
Errors
:
Quote
the
word
(
{αβγδ}
)
out
of
the
most
fictitious
History
,
and
it
sufficiently
grounds
our
Belief
of
the
fabulous
Generation
of
Castor
and
Helena
out
of
an
Egg
,
whereas
the
Word
among
the
Lacedaemonians
had
the
Signification
of
an
upper
Room
only
,
where
they
were
born
and
brought
up
.
So
let
us
suppose
,
for
example
,
the
Word
(
Egg
)
in
a
Text
of
Scripture
,
the
Presbyterian
would
interpret
it
an
Hen-Egg
or
Goose-Egg
,
o●
to
be
sure
such
an
Egg
as
most
〈◇〉
the
●elish
of
his
Perswasion
,
Novelty
,
or
Spirit
and
Pleasure
of
contradicting
another
human
Gloss
.
As
for
the
divine
Right
and
Institution
of
their
modern
Presbytery
,
Mr.
Selden
facetiously
and
comically
table-talks
him
thus
.
When
the
Quenies
were
sent
to
the
Assembly
concerning
the
Jus
Divinum
of
Presbitery
;
their
asking
Time
to
answer
them
was
a
Satyr
upon
themselves
:
For
if
it
were
to
be
seen
in
the
Text
,
they
might
quickly
turn
to
the
Place
and
shew
us
it
.
Their
delaying
to
answer
,
makes
us
think
there
's
no
such
thing
there
.
They
do
just
as
you
have
seen
a
Fellow
do
at
a
Tavern-reckoning
,
when
he
should
come
to
pay
his
Reckoning
,
he
puts
his
Hands
into
his
Pockets
,
and
keeps
a
grabling
and
a
fumbling
,
and
shaking
,
at
last
tells
you
he
has
left
his
Money
at
home
;
when
all
the
Company
knew
at
first
,
he
had
no
Money
there
,
for
every
Man
can
quickly
find
his
own
Money
.
He
and
I
have
both
our
Religion
no
doubt
;
and
like
a
Fashion
,
he
wears
his
Doublet
Plain
,
I
mine
Fringed
:
We
have
both
a
Doublet
,
that
's
plain
;
we
differ
about
Trimming
.
It
is
strange
,
that
we
should
Rend
and
Tear
our
Saviour's
Garment
into
so
many
Scraps
and
Pieces
as
are
Cabaged
from
a
New
Suit
of
Cloathes
,
and
all
upon
the
Account
of
the
Figure
and
Mode
of
Professing
it
seemless
,
and
unjustly
parted
.
Is
it
Taylor's
work
to
take
Measure
of
our
Souls
,
or
alter
and
decide
our
Religion
,
because
we
are
utterly
at
odds
about
the
Shape
of
it
?
Surely
nothing
can
sit
well
or
handsomly
upon
such
monstrous
,
jarring
,
and
un-symmetrous
Members
.
Will
they
still
persevere
in
ignorant
Obstinacy
,
and
differ
from
us
in
Religion
and
Unity
of
Performance
with
the
same
Singularity
as
they
do
in
their
Habits
;
and
with
less
Reason
too
?
Will
not
this
suffice
,
that
it
is
not
A-la-mode
du
Paree
,
except
it
be
of
a
Geneva-Starchtness
,
and
as
stiff
from
Bowing
to
the
Altar
,
and
Complying
with
our
Ceremonies
,
as
the
Inflexible
Old
Sultan
in
Tapestry-Stature
?
None
of
us
believe
the
Altar
to
be
God
,
or
a
Wooden
Deity
,
any
more
than
he
believes
the
Carnal
Anthropomorphitry
of
him
.
He
can
Duck
and
Bow
,
and
make
his
Honours
,
as
well
as
any
Master
of
Ceremony
among
us
,
to
secular
Grandeur
and
Quality
;
and
why
not
to
the
God
of
his
Worship
in
any
Place
,
or
at
any
Time
,
in
Reverence
to
his
Omnipresence
?
Yes
;
but
the
People
of
England
,
like
those
of
Athens
in
St.
Paul's
days
,
in
this
thing
of
the
Martyrdom
are
too
Superstitious
;
and
he
gives
us
the
Rhetorical
Height
of
an
aggravated
Reason
for
't
:
In
that
Service
we
pray
to
God
he
will
be
pleased
to
give
us
the
Grace
to
follow
that
Man's
Charity
and
Patience
;
surely
in
this
we
are
too
Superstitious
.
Now
time
,
place
and
service
being
appointed
,
next
thing
for
us
to
do
will
be
to
Pray
to
him
.
How
gladly
would
he
malice
us
into
Popery
?
Humane
Literature
always
honoured
Good
Men
,
and
Noble
Heroes
,
with
an
Apotheosis
after
their
Departure
;
but
the
Man
of
Letters
tells
us
,
Poetry
is
Popery
:
Surely
he
judges
by
the
Ear
,
and
it
is
a
good
one
that
never
mistakes
the
Jangling
of
a
pair
of
Tongs
,
for
the
Mufical
Sound
of
the
Harp-sicles
.
His
Organ
is
mightily
indisposed
,
and
his
Perception
is
false
;
he
talks
without
Book
,
as
the
Blind-Fidler
plays
Tunes
.
Every
word
Montross
wrote
with
his
Swords
point
on
the
Monument
of
King
Charles
,
was
Popery
.
Why
so
?
He
Trumpets
the
King's
Praise
and
Eulogy
to
the
World
,
and
sounds
an
Alarm
in
the
Ears
of
our
Preacher
of
the
Gospel
of
Peace
;
and
would
not
this
even
make
a
Cur
Whine
,
and
shake
his
Head
?
This
is
it
provokes
him
to
grin
and
bark
out
Popery
,
Popery
.
We
cannot
talk
of
him
by
way
of
Eminence
and
Excellence
of
a
Crowned
Dignity
;
but
we
forthwith
Canonize
him
,
and
Calendar
him
for
a
Saint
,
and
that
's
Popery
with
a
Witness
:
After
this
rate
,
a
Ladies
Beauties
must
not
be
commended
,
lest
he
twit
us
with
Romish
Adoration
for
our
Encomium's
,
whereas
no
question
but
the
flattering
Letcher
could
smuggle
up
a
Buxom
Sister
with
his
Holy
Kisses
,
and
Vow
his
closer
Embraces
and
Debauch
as
Consecrated
as
any
Priest
of
'em
all
;
so
his
Crape
in
a
Corner
be
not
Babylonish
:
That
's
the
Whore
he
would
have
Carted
.
But
anon
we
shall
Pray
to
Saint
CHARLES
:
Yes
,
to
be
sure
when
he
draws
up
the
Form
.
Shall
we
not
have
Image-Worship
too
?
We
have
a
great
many
Joynt-Stools
in
our
Churches
.
In
a
short
time
a
Yull-Clog
or
a
Cart-Wheel
shall
not
lye
by
us
,
but
in
his
mendacious
Construction
we
must
pay
our
Devotions
to
it
.
The
Countrey-man
in
Spain
would
not
Pray
to
St.
Nicholas's
Image
,
because
he
knew
it
was
made
of
his
own
Plumb-Tree
;
and
can
his
Scholarship
believe
our
Clergy
ignoranter
than
that
Rusticity
,
to
Pray
to
and
Adore
a
mouldring
Carcass
,
or
the
curiousest
Statue
?
He
may
as
well
report
to
the
World
that
we
Leg
,
and
Knee
St.
GEORGE
upon
Horse-back
at
every
Sign-post
,
or
that
we
Kneel
down
at
Charing-Cross
,
or
Stocks-Market
,
drop
a
Bead
there
,
and
mutter
an
AVE
for
the
whole
Lump
of
Brass
.
If
he
can
pre-engage
a
transmarine
Credulity
,
he
may
out-do
Lucian's
Historia
Vera
with
his
prolifick
Invention
of
Figment
against
our
Worship
,
and
never
fear
to
come
to
his
ingenuous
Confession
of
{αβγδ}
,
as
long
as
his
single
Authority
can
make
it
pass
for
current
Truth
.
This
were
a
Lie
,
and
an
Abuse
within
the
Verge
of
the
Court
;
and
those
who
insinuate
such
clam-Romance
,
would
scandalize
our
Prelacy
,
and
inodiate
it
to
the
Lowns
of
the
Kirk
and
Covenant
:
This
Charge
is
just
as
unreasonable
and
foolish
as
heretofore
Images
were
called
Mammets
,
and
Adoration
of
'em
Mammetry
;
(
Contractions
for
Mahomet
and
Mahometry
)
odious
Names
indeed
,
and
scandalous
;
when
all
learneder
Heads
knew
the
Turks
were
forbidden
Images
as
much
as
Wine
by
their
Alcoran
:
So
the
Laws
of
our
Church
severely
prohibit
Idolatry
and
Superstition
and
Blasphemy
;
and
notwitstanding
he
says
we
are
all
the
three
,
Idolaters
.
Superstitionists
,
Blasphemers
:
Who
will
believe
him
then
?
Is
he
lunatick
,
and
must
we
every
January-Moon
be
carressed
with
his
Palmerine-Relations
,
and
madly
misrepresented
with
his
Bedlam-Observations
?
We
shall
not
chat
,
write
from
the
Press
,
or
preach
from
the
Pulpit
;
but
he
'll
be
proclaiming
War
against
us
for
Popery
,
and
Canonading
our
Church
with
all
the
Railery
and
Artillery
of
Presbytery
.
No
,
we
shall
not
walk
the
Streets
e're
long
,
but
we
shall
vent
Popery
at
the
other
End
too
,
and
this
Fellow
will
be
crying
out
upon
the
Stink
,
when
the
sweet
Savour
is
all
the
while
under
his
own
Cloak
,
just
as
you
see
one
beat
a
Dog
out
of
the
room
for
what
is
in
his
Breeches
.
If
we
eat
Plumb-Pudding
and
roast-Beef
in
a
Cooks
shoop
,
he
'll
perhaps
call
it
a
Papistical
Ordinary
;
and
,
if
the
Fit
of
Enthusiasm
take
him
,
he
'll
not
spare
to
stay
our
Stomachs
with
telling
us
we
feast
and
gormondize
on
our
Saviour
:
And
,
Sacrament
,
we
hold
Transubstantiation
in
the
Sir-Loin
.
But
to
leave
such
Hoghen-Errantry
and
Vagaries
;
a
Voider
for
his
Non-sense
or
Foolery
:
It
is
time
to
take
it
away
.
Is
it
an
irreligious
Petition
we
put
up
to
Heaven
for
Grace
to
follow
King
Charle's
Exemplary
Charity
and
Patience
?
Mark
his
Charity
in
his
Heavenly
Soliloquies
:
I
bless
God
,
I
pray
not
so
much
that
this
bitter
Cup
of
a
violent
Death
may
pass
from
me
as
that
of
his
Wrath
may
pass
from
all
those
,
whose
Hands
,
by
deserting
me
,
are
sprinkled
;
or
by
acting
and
consenting
to
my
Death
,
are
imbrued
with
my
Blood
.
The
Will
of
God
hath
confined
and
concluded
mine
;
I
shall
have
the
Pleasure
of
dying
without
any
Pleasure
of
desired
Vengeance
.
This
,
I
think
,
becomes
a
Christian
towards
his
Enemies
,
and
a
King
towards
his
Subjects
.
And
he
breaths
a
seraphick
Love
to
his
Adversaries
elsewhere
.
The
Trophies
of
my
Charity
will
be
more
glorious
and
durable
over
them
,
than
their
religious
Rebellion
and
ill
managed
Victories
over
me
.
Mark
his
admirable
Patience
in
seeing
his
Court
made
a
Calvary
.
O
my
Soul
!
Think
not
that
Life
too
long
and
tedious
,
wherein
God
gives
thee
any
Opportunities
,
if
not
to
do
,
yet
to
suffer
with
such
Christian
Patience
and
Magnanimity
in
a
good
Cause
,
as
are
the
greatest
Honour
of
our
Lives
,
and
the
best
Improvements
of
our
Deaths
.
Farther
,
in
the
Language
of
his
own
Soul
in
Solitude
,
his
Christian
Courage
and
Patience
sound
in
a
sweet
Consort
.
The
Assaults
of
Afflictions
may
be
terrible
,
like
Sampson's
Lion
,
but
they
yield
much
Sweetness
to
those
that
dare
to
encounter
and
overcome
them
;
who
know
how
to
over-live
the
Witherings
of
their
Gourds
without
Discontent
or
Peevishness
,
while
they
may
yet
converse
with
God
.
All
his
Languishment
was
incomparable
,
and
the
King
of
Terrours
could
not
un-king
him
of
Meekness
and
Vertue
:
His
Charity
was
as
unparallel'd
as
his
Case
was
to
die
;
his
Heroick
Spirit
and
Greatness
of
Mind
in
forgiving
a
prosperous
Injustice
was
as
unimitable
,
as
it
could
be
none
but
the
Result
of
his
own
Goodness
.
Now
the
Devil
's
raised
,
here
's
the
Spirit
of
Contradiction
:
What
a
Stir
is
here
with
an
{αβγδ}
?
A
Brat
which
King
Charles
must
Father
(
forsooth
)
because
it
looks
like
him
.
What
Noise
with
this
great
Diana
of
Kingly
Wisdom
and
Innocence
upon
the
Stage
of
Infidelity
?
He
hath
an
{αβγδ}
to
Mobb
upon
that
,
and
it
s
very
likely
Milton's
Ghost
conjured
him
to
a
disbelief
of
its
supposed
Princely
Authority
.
The
Book
must
be
Dr.
Gauden's
,
and
the
truest
Pourtraicture
of
his
Majesty
was
really
drawn
upon
the
Scaffold
.
One
would
have
thought
the
Vindiciae
Carolinae
written
by
a
Person
of
Primitive
Learning
and
Integrity
,
might
have
disabused
him
,
and
undeceived
him
of
the
Bubble
,
satisfactorily
proving
it
to
have
been
the
genuine
product
of
that
Royal
Brain
;
and
he
must
be
an
otherguise
Man
than
Dr.
Walker
,
who
now
Controverts
the
Legitimacy
,
or
so
much
as
surmises
the
Spuriousness
of
its
Birth
.
King
CHARLES
lives
dimidiate
in
his
rare
Book
,
as
poor
Ovid
was
parte
superstes
,
by
leaving
his
Tristia
,
as
well
as
Family
to
the
City
from
which
he
was
banished
;
and
those
who
do
not
Creed
Him
to
be
the
Author
of
it
after
so
manifest
Conviction
,
it
is
but
reasonable
to
suppose
,
are
grieved
that
he
should
yet
Breath
so
lively
after
his
last
Farewell
,
and
plead
his
Cause
so
learnedly
after
his
direful
Execution
indicta
causa
.
My
Author
could
heartily
doom
it
to
an
Archive
of
Heretical
Legends
,
or
Catalogue
it
in
Brown's
Bibliotheca
Abscondita
,
and
wish
it
no
where
to
be
found
but
with
Homer's
Batrochomyomachia
,
or
the
Homerican
Battel
between
Frogs
and
Mice
,
neatly
described
upon
the
Chizel-bone
of
a
large
Pike's
Jaw
.
It
is
the
Mirrour
of
that
gang-a
,
for
whom
there
was
most
justly
neither
Rythm
,
nor
no
more
Ben
.
Johnson's
Reason
,
than
Swing-a
Swang-a
;
and
I
would
to
God
it
did
not
only
Reflect
the
ugliness
of
their
Principles
,
but
make
him
also
(
according
to
the
Story
of
the
Cock
and
the
Glass
)
fall
out
with
his
own
Picture
.
Can
I
believe
the
Martyrdom
engraven
so
deep
on
the
Adamantine
Hearts
of
those
implacable
and
impenitent
Adversaries
to
Monarchy
and
present
Majesty
,
as
that
the
Teeth
of
Five
and
Forty
Years-time
hath
not
eaten
out
the
Characters
,
and
smooth'd
it
like
the
Philosopher's
Tabula
rasa
,
to
inscribe
another
Rebellious
Usurpation
upon
,
since
this
Miscreant
would
gag
up
the
remembrance
of
it
,
and
have
us
like
Turkish
Mutes
,
to
secret
that
Sin
?
In
this
he
follows
the
Footsteps
of
the
Blood-Hound
Hewson
,
promoted
from
Cobling
to
Colonelling
,
who
,
upon
an
Hosannah
of
a
shout
raised
by
the
Loyal
Party
at
his
Trial
and
no
Trial
,
Blessed
be
your
Majesty
,
God
grant
you
to
Reign
long
over
us
;
God
bring
your
Enemies
under
your
Feet
;
presently
drew
up
his
armed
Crew
,
and
bad
them
give
Fire
upon
the
Naked
Innocents
,
if
any
more
they
prayed
for
the
King

p.

Paraphrase
upon
those
Royal
Legacies
in
his
Majesties
most
Christian
and
Dying
Speech
.
This
was
the
Funeral
Scene
;
Ambitious
Desires
and
Blood-thirstiness
produced
mortal
Enmities
;
and
Pride
in
Triumph
led
Humility
in
Obedience
to
Martyrdom
:
The
Horns
of
Covetous
Men's
designs
pushed
off
the
Crown
,
and
it
tumbled
into
a
Protector's
Lap
;
and
let
this
feral
Presbyter
chew
the
Cud
upon
this
,
that
though
they
put
an
immature
Period
to
his
Life
,
and
brought
his
Body
to
the
sad
Catastrophe
of
being
interred
with
an
ignoble
Hic
jacet
,
whose
living
Bravery
and
Vertues
,
and
Applause
,
the
whole
World
was
not
able
to
contain
:
Yet
his
Name
and
Honour
must
survive
those
Exits
in
our
Churches
Commemoration
to
a
Glorious
Kind
of
Immortality
;
and
the
Czar
of
Muscovy's
resenting
his
Rigid
and
Cruel
Fate
with
a
Christian-like
Frown
,
and
Contempt
on
all
the
English
Traffickers
there
,
induces
me
to
believe
,
that
his
Fame
is
Eternized
,
and
celebrated
with
a
sort
of
Ubiquity
.
If
the
Report
of
his
English
Treatment
could
startle
an
Infidel
or
amaze
a
Pagan
,
methinks
it
should
make
a
hardhearted
Fanatick
boggle
,
or
scare
him
out
of
his
puritanick
Wits
.
As
for
King
Charles
the
Second
,
his
Restoration
,
I
shall
be
as
short
and
touchy
upon
it
as
my
Author
.
First
then
;
Room
for
the
Lord
of
Mis-rule
:
Make
way
for
the
Grand
Master
of
the
Order
of
Disorder
and
Non-conformity
.
Who
dare
justle
Presbytery
in
its
Pomp
and
Parade
,
or
confront
the
Multitudinarian
Insolence
of
santastick
Anarchy
in
the
Lobby
?
The
Upstart
Candidate
for
Sovereignty
must
let
the
Parliament
know
what
Westminster-Hall
enacted
in
King
Charles
the
Second
his
Time
,
to
detract
from
his
unspotted
Profession
is
aniented
in
the
Courts
of
Heaven
:
The
Act
for
the
Attainder
of
several
Persons

guilty
of

Murther
of
his
Royal
Father

is
repealed
and
reversed
to
his
whole
Intent
and
Purpose
above
,
or
in
B
—
ss's
Meeting-House
,
and
how
comes
it
a
few
musty
Records
do
still
attaint
and
stick
that
Venial
Crime
on
their
Progeny
,
or
a
Proclamation
did
follow
and
pursue
Ludlow
at
the
Heels
to
a
kind
Shoar
,
whence
an
auspicious
Blast
wafted
him
out
of
the
Reach
of
Prosecution
;
and
Providence
hoiseing
the
Sails
,
and
sitting
at
the
Helm
,
at
once
steer'd
him
to
a
Sanctuary
,
and
convinc'd
our
Statists
that
he
was
predestinated
neither
to
be
drowned
nor
hanged
?
A
severe
Old
Saying
has
it
otherwise
with
a
Gallows
to
him
:
However
,
when
one
is
got
out
of
the
Clutches
of
the
Law
,
it
is
pleasant
pleading
a
divine
or
eternal
Decree
for
an
Exemption
,
tacking
about
,
and
calling
the
House
of
Commons
all
the
Malignants
under
the
Sun.
As
the
Surly
Rogue
that
has
been
lick'd
for
a
Fault
,
no
sooner
escapes
the
Correction
,
but
turns
about
,
and
says
,
Son
of
a
Bitch
,
what
do
ye
lick
me
for
?
Did
I
do
such
a
thing
,
or
such
a
thing
?
The
King
of
Kings
hath
passed
a
perpetual
Indemnity
to
the
Offspring
it
is
probable
,
for
the
wicked
Perpetrations
of
their
Caitif-Ancestors
with
a
non
obstante
to
our
past
,
present
,
and
future
Proceedings
,
and
disannulled
all
our
Allegations
against
their
good
old
Principles
of
beheading
and
banishing
:
This
is
the
peerless
Importunity
and
the
very
would-be-at
of
my
Author
in
decrying
our
keeping
a
Day
of
Humiliation
with
prophaner
Flouts
and
Scoffs
than
Aerius
ridiculed
the
Christian
Severities
.
He
is
of
an
Aerian
Kidney
,
and
stresseth
us
with
the
same
Strain
of
Humour
and
Libertinism
:
It
is
Jewish
thus
to
keep
Days
of
fasting
by
a
Law
;
it
is
an
inslaving
your selves
to
a
Yoke
of
Bondage
:
If
I
would
determine
to
fast
at
all
,
I
would
fast
what
Day
I
pleased
at
mine
own
Liberty
.
But
Epiphanius
does
equally
reprimand
them
both
,
as
he
is
quoted
in
the
Rationale
on
the
Common-Prayer
.
Who
are
the
more
Fools
;
Aerius
,
a
silly
Fellow
of
Yesterday
,
still
living
with
us
,
or
we
who
observe
this
severe
Discipline
which
our
Fathers
delivered
us
,
which
they
received
from
their
Fathers
,
and
they
from
theirs
;
and
so
from
the
Apostles
the
Sanctity
and
Usage
of
Fasting
must
be
derived
as
from
the
original
Sources
of
primitive
Christianity
and
pure
Devotion
?
Secondly
,
He
scoundrels
the
Thanksgiving-Day
with
no
demurer
or
decenter
Scurrility
,
abominating
it
as
well
as
the
other
,
and
branding
it
as
a
Day
of
Revengefulness
appointed
after
revolutionary
Heats
and
incensed
disquiets
.
The
Thoughts
of
a
Restoration
glad
me
,
and
flutter
my
Soul
;
and
indeed
Fancy
and
Indignation
must
flag
,
or
their
biting
Heights
be
loured
when
the
Mind
is
overjoyed
,
the
last
Canto
of
Butler's
Hudibras
confirms
as
much
:
But
let
me
ask
him
,
was
King
Charles
big
with
spightful
Venom
?
Did
he
labour
with
Revenge
?
He
is
the
first
Broacher
of
that
Accusation
,
and
the
first
that
brought
any
slander
upon
his
Mercy
and
Clemency
,
into
the
World
;
I
guess
he
hath
an
excellent
Knack
of
Midwifry
,
and
can
as
easily
deliver
a
King
of
some
unhandsom
piece
of
Ill-nature
,
as
a
Fro
is
of
her
mis-shapen
Sooterkin
;
I
rather
Opine
himself
conceives
,
and
he
would
lay
the
Bastard-quality
on
the
King
.
He
Libels
him
at
Random
,
and
Raves
any
thing
to
Blemish
and
Smut
his
Reputation
,
Mercifulness
,
Serenity
,
and
Mildness
:
The
blackest
Scandals
of
my
Author
,
are
but
so
many
Set-offs
to
the
Beauty
and
rare
Embellishments
of
his
Mind
,
and
make
his
Peaceable
Will
and
Affections
,
appear
with
greater
Dazle
,
and
more
diffusive
Lustre
,
inasmuch
as
such
Calumniators
as
he
,
I
am
apt
to
presume
,
never
felt
the
Rigour
of
his
Justice
,
or
the
greatest
Fine
of
his
Displeasure
for
the
Offence
.
It
is
notoriously
true
,
and
verified
by
the
Restoration
,
that
the
success
of
the
Round-Heads
their
Enterprizes
,
never
Authenticated
their
Cause
,
nor
did
their
short-liv'd
Prosperity
justifie
their
Gallantry
in
unlawfulness
;
but
their
gracious
Impunity
,
and
the
letting
others
go
Scot-free
,
was
not
rigorous
,
and
the
Kings
Establishing
them
a
Right
and
Property
to
,
or
an
undisturbed
Enjoyment
of
their
Plunder
,
Sequestration-Fruits
,
and
filching
Acquests
was
not
unmerciful
I
hope
;
ay
,
but
at
his
Return
from
a
forced
Extermination
into
Foreign
Parts
,
he
caused
to
be
Sung
in
Churches
an
{αβγδ}
over
their
most
Traiterous
Conspiracies
,
the
armed
Power
of
Usurping
Tyrants
,
and
their
execrable
Perfidy
and
Inhumanity
in
the
Effusion
of
his
Fathers
Blood
,
and
stubborn
Opposition
to
his
Enjoying
his
own
again
,
The
undoubted
Hereditary
Soveraignty
and
Regal
Authority
over
them
:
This
was
a
Predominant
and
Vindictive
Incivility
.
It
forced
them
to
Hypocrite
their
Actions
,
and
Dissimulate
a
Joy
;
they
seemingly
could
rejoyce
and
laugh
home
the
Exile
;
but
it
was
as
if
they
had
Eaten
of
the
Sardinick-Herb
to
their
Grief
and
Sorrow
,
and
all
their
Counterfeit
Jollity
at
re-instating
him
,
was
to
out-noise
their
Shrieks
for
the
last
Gasp
of
a
dying
Usurpation
:
For
how
could
their
Hearts
and
Hands
go
together
in
receiving
him
,
or
cordially
Congratulating
his
Majesty's
Arrival
and
Investiture
in
the
Throne
,
whom
they
had
resisted
with
the
strength
of
Arm
,
dint
of
Councel
,
and
the
keenest
Sword
of
Injustice
?
How
could
they
give
any
sincere
demonstration
of
a
joyful
Allegiance
or
Subjection
,
and
Obedience
Active
or
Passive
to
that
Prince
whom
they
had
kept
at
as
great
a
distance
as
their
Pikes
could
Push
or
Awe
to
,
and
whose
Wills
perhaps
committed
Treason
when
their
Hands
were
Innocent
.
It
was
harder
then
for
them
to
Personate
Loyalty
or
Feign
Conversion
,
than
to
extenuate
their
former
Lapses
,
and
Vizard
their
belligerant
Ambitions
:
Their
Posterity
are
still
Skinning
over
,
Extenuating
,
and
Palliating
those
Old
Sores
:
While
the
Gangrene
of
Rebellion
is
not
to
be
Cured
but
with
Cutting
off
;
else
the
State-Chyrurgeon
knows
it
will
break
out
again
,
and
Ulcerate
afresh
,
threatning
Mortality
like
an
Infection
,
to
all
about
it
:
It
had
been
no
Cruelty
in
the
King
to
have
probed
it
deeper
,
for
every
Candid
Judge
is
well
satisfied
how
disproportionable
their
Punishments
were
to
their
Deserts
,
and
their
sins
not
half-salved
to
an
unrelapsing
,
or
un-apostatizing
heal
of
Repentance
,
when
the
Royal
Physician
was
restored
to
his
Diseased
Kingdom
:
And
yet
he
must
be
called
an
unmerciful
Tyrant
,
and
a
Subject-Oppressor
;
He
might
declaim
against
Toleration
with
as
severe
turns
as
he
does
against
his
Mildness
,
Favour
and
Grace
to
Offenders
;
but
Majesty
must
be
Cavil'd
at
fas
vé
nefas
vé
;
and
(
as
the
Learned
Author
of
Matchiavel's
and
Borgia's
Policies
says
)
't
is
the
fashion
of
Fortunate
Rebels
to
Feed
the
People
with
Shells
and
empty
Names
,
as
if
their
bare
Assertion
could
demonstrate
to
us
(
against
all
Experience
)
that
it
is
Freedom
to
be
Slaves
to
Quondam
Peasants
,
and
Slavery
to
be
Subjects
to
a
True
and
Natural
Prince
,
and
that
the
Scorpions
of
Anarchy
,
Aristocracy
,
or
a
free
State
,
are
far
more
tolerable
than
the
single
Rod
of
Loyalty
:
And
therefore
if
the
Prince
be
severe
,
he
gives
them
Nero's
Brand
,
a
Man
kneaded
up
of
Dirt
and
Bloud
;
if
he
be
of
Parts
and
Contrivance
,
he
calls
it
pernicious
Ingenuity
:
If
he
be
mild
and
favourable
to
tender
Consciences
,
he
declaims
against
his
Cunning
and
Trepanning
Toleration
.
If
he
urge
Uniformity
and
Decency
in
Divine
Service
,
he
Rails
at
his
Superstition
.
And
because
there
is
no
such
Aequilibrious
Vertue
,
but
has
some
Flexure
to
one
of
the
Extreams
,
he
is
very
careful
to
publish
the
Extream
alone
,
and
to
silence
the
Vertue
.
Every
one
knows
whose
Politicks
those
are
which
Indict
a
King
for
miscarriages
Living
,
but
to
Arraign
him
of
aukward
qualities
,
and
pestiferous
,
slaving
,
leud
,
or
wicked
endowments
Dead
,
is
much
like
the
Barbarick
Cambyses's
Cruelties
and
Indignities
used
to
Amasis
King
of
Aegypt
,
who
untombed
his
very
Carcass
,
and
commanded
it
to
be
burned
,
contrary
to
the
Custom
of
the
Aegyptians
and
Persians
as
well
as
Humanity
.
The
Persians
feared
to
Feed
their
God
with
Carrion
;
and
let
not
us
Christians
give
Drink
Offering
of
Blood
to
ours
any
more
.
De
mortuis
nil
nisi
bonum
,
and
if
I
add
principibus
too
,
it
ought
to
be
no
impracticable
,
or
immoral
Apothegm
for
Christians
.
My
Author's
Tongue
is
no
Slander
,
and
it
would
degrade
a
Majesty
to
take
notice
of
his
ignominies
,
or
to
reckon
them
Scandalum
Magnatum
.
It
is
a
debauched
Loyalty
that
speaks
King
CHARLES
II
.
a
Debauchee
,
whom
I
cannot
but
Honour
in
the
Dust
,
and
Sing
of
in
the
Poet's
Strain
upon
another
Herse
;
"
Cujus
in
Laudibus
"
Pacis
,
Justitiae
,
Clementiae
"
publicae
celebrandis
"
Nec
fama
loquax
,
nec
ipsa
mendax
"
poterit
esse
Epitaphium
.
't
is
true
,
a
King
's
a
Man
,
and
as
Mortal
as
Horace
could
Ode
him
or
Pale-face
him
,
and
some
Actions
must
voluntarily
come
,
through
Inadvertency
fall
,
or
be
extorted
from
him
,
which
confess
frail
Humanity
,
and
require
a
favourable
Censure
,
or
an
ingenious
Interpretation
;
and
I
conclude
with
the
unprejudiced
Statist
.
Iniqua
in
omni
re
accusandâ
,
praetermissis
bonis
,
malorum
Enumeratio
,
Vitiorumque
selectio
;
nam
ne
ullus
quidem
isto
modo
Magistratus
vituperabilis
non
erit
.
't
is
an
unjust
Way
of
accusing
to
omit
the
good
Offices
of
a
Prince
,
and
so
to
select
and
publish
only
his
bad
,
for
by
this
means
,
no
Magistrate
shall
be
innocent
.
His
Birth
,
as
a
Man
,
and
I
may
say
as
a
Prince
too
,
on
the
twenty
ninth
of
May
,
was
a
lucky
Omen
:
His
Nativity
and
Return
on
the
same
Day
,
like
the
Conjunction
of
two
good
Planets
,
presaged
to
our
Land
a
lasting
Peace
,
Plenty
,
Prosperity
,
and
a
continued
or
undisturbed
Succession
of
the
Royal
Line
,
and
my
Author
may
tell
me
if
he
will
,
that
such
Bodings
are
sometimes
deceived
,
and
fair
Promises
are
not
always
performed
:
But
our
Exaltation
then
was
but
reasonable
and
moderate
to
Io
Poean
the
signal
Deliverance
of
his
Majesty
and
faithful
People
from
deplorable
Oppressions
,
Devastations
,
Divisions
,
and
Popular
Furies
.
Why
is
our
Religion
in
this
Point
of
common
Gratitude
for
providential
Kindnesses
,
Courtliness
,
Flattery
,
Popery
,
Pageantry
?
For
no
other
reason
but
because
the
Tub's
turned
,
the
King
goes
to
Chappel
,
and
Presbytery
was
very
near
being
rump'd
or
lectured
out
of
the
Kingdom
.
Here
he
lays
on
with
the
old
Drum-stick
,
Popery
,
and
trumps
that
Knave
upon
us
again
;
He
would
gladly
have
us
to
march
after
his
Beats
.
How
can
we
Voluntier
it
when
he
presses
us
so
hard
?
We
read
indeed
the
Name
of
Christ
in
the
Van
of
his
rebellious
Spirit
,
but
the
Devil
brings
up
the
Reer
;
and
let
him
take
this
Motto
for
his
Colours
:
Ecclesiae
nomine
armamini
&
contra
Ecclesiam
dimicatis
;
as
I
find
St.
Augustine
quoted
.
We
shall
still
follow
what
Bishop
Sparrow
hath
observed
to
us
,
and
believe
That
the
Sanctification
or
setting
apart
of
Festivals
,
is
consonant
to
the
Purity
of
primitive
Practice
,
as
being
a
Token
of
that
Thankfulness
,
and
a
Part
of
that
publick
Honour
which
we
owe
to
God
for
his
admirable
Benefits
;
for
those
Feasts
of
Joy
,
and
holy
Revels
are
(
as
the
learned
and
judicious
Hooker
says
)
the
Splendour
and
outward
Dignity
of
our
Religion
,
whose
Lustre
,
and
redundant
Light
of
Gospel-shine
our
Owl-ey'd
Author
cannot
endure
,
else
I
may
esteem
him
one
of
those
none-so-blind
,
that
will
not
see
.
It
is
a
lethargick
Soul
which
neither
God's
Mercy
can
allure
,
nor
impending
Menace
awake
to
pious
and
solemn
Emanations
of
extolling
the
one
,
and
imploring
his
Aversion
of
the
other
:
Acts
of
Wonder
next
to
Prodigy
and
Miracle
on
these
two
Grand-Days
should
make
Stories
in
our
Church
as
well
as
Annals
,
as
longliv'd
as
the
World
,
and
lasting
as
the
Moon
,
which
wains
only
to
an
Increase
,
and
appears
in
a
splendider
Full
again
.
Our
hardened
Impenitence
for
the
highest
,
and
therefore
the
most
inglorious
Sins
,
and
our
Unthankfulness
for
the
Blessings
of
our
Deliverances
both
by
Sea
and
Land
are
as
circular
and
endless
as
the
redeeming
Bounty
it self
:
But
they
are
scarce
content
those
Straits
should
bound
their
Presumptions
,
and
their
swoln
Grandeur
must
have
a
larger
Circumference
;
the
narrow
Limits
of
an
Island
pinch
them
in
Scope
:
The
Usurper's
Pomeria's
must
be
inlarged
without
Restitution
or
Repentance
;
our
Impieties
must
be
transplanted
,
and
the
State-Sinner
launches
out
,
careering
it
to
Hercules's
Pillars
,
but
knows
none
but
a
Death-Bed's
ne
plus
ultra
:
Then
Five
or
Six
Foot
of
dishonoured
Earth
will
contain
the
magnifico
,
and
stop
the
blustering
Jehu-driven
Hector
.
J.
G.
G's
Observations
upon
the
Martyrdom
and
Restoration
,
are
especial
Instances
and
Proofs
of
what
I
assert
concerning
our
unmindfulness
of
Deliverances
,
and
our
whiffling
unconcernedness
for
such
National
Crimes
as
King-Hunting
,
Deposing
,
Scaffolding
.
Hunting
,
I
mention
;
for
had
not
Providence
made
the
pack
of
Pursuers
run
Counter
of
the
Game
,
or
cast
too
far
over
the
Loss
,
they
had
made
no
less
Sport
of
seizing
the
Prince
in
the
Royal-Oak
,
than
of
unearthing
the
Fox
,
or
uncasing
the
Carrion
with
a
Tantivee
Who-o-o-up
.
His
apprehension
't
is
Ten
to
One
,
had
pitcht
him
at
the
height
of
their
Scorn
and
Pinnacle
of
Injustice
in
their
High-Court
,
one
degree
from
a
Martyr
as
he
was
from
a
Defender
of
the
Faith
.
Thus
our
Humorist
,
and
his
singularity
,
would
out-face
Religion
,
would
have
had
our
Church-History
of
the
Restoration
,
written
only
in
the
same
Element
through
which
King
Charles
the
First
sailed
to
his
Hereditary
Haven
,
full
fraught
with
our
Deliverance
,
where
no
track
of
the
Story
could
be
Legible
in
Water-Characters
;
would
have
had
the
Grave
of
the
Martyr
like
Pompey's
,
without
any
Inscription
to
distinguish
the
Dust
of
his
Glorious
Body
from
his
ignoble
Executioner's
,
(
if
he
be
yet
Dead
,
for
let
B.
know
it
is
queried
)
or
to
shew
,
Here
lies
murdered
Charles
.
Hos
voluit
nescire
dies
,
as
Lucan
sings
:
These
are
malicious
Dog-days
with
him
,
and
so
cross
or
clouding
to
his
perswasion
,
that
he
would
Curse
them
out
of
the
Ephemerides
if
he
could
,
not
allow
them
any
difference
from
others
in
our
Memory
or
Esteem
,
in
our
Joy
or
Sorrow
,
and
its
probable
Excommunicate
them
(
for
they
use
to
Reprobate
whatever
we
Elect
in
any
Sense
)
from
all
Society
with
the
Year
,
as
Job
did
his
Birth-day
:
Let
the
day
perish
to
all
memory
,
let
darkness
,
and
the
shadow
of
Death
stain
it
,
and
let
forgetfulness
like
a
Cloud
,
dwell
upon
it
,
Job
3.3
,
5.
But
when
all
this
is
said
,
that
our
Rubrick
to
dignifie
those
above
the
Common
Heap
of
Days
piled
up
in
the
Almanack
is
Superstitious
,
and
our
Service
on
them
Popery
,
the
Fool's
Bolt
is
not
half
shot
.
He
offers
Violence
to
the
two
King's
good-names
with
his
Slanders
and
Calumnies
;
He
gives
us
a
Martyrium
famae
,
a
Martyrdom
of
the
Fame
of
both
,
as
well
as
of
the
Life
of
One
.
Reputation
is
the
preciousest
Jewel
about
us
all
,
King
or
Peasant
,
and
as
Rich
and
Dear
as
any
in
the
Diadem
to
the
meanest
,
so
that
he
's
the
Notoriousest
Thief
that
Robs
us
of
it
.
What
Key
of
Reserve
can
a
Monarch
put
in
the
inside
against
the
black-art-devices
of
such
pick-locks
of
his
Credit
,
Goodness
,
or
Justice
?
It
is
the
sole
Apology
and
Refuge
of
exquisite
Impostors
,
to
present
or
raree-show
those
Kings
for
Spectacles
of
Scorn
and
Infamy
after
their
Deaths
,
whom
they
made
Theatres
of
Misery
in
their
Lives
:
And
I
affirm
,
that
my
Author's
Imputations
,
Scandalous
as
False
,
in
saying
the
Martyr
was
Guilty
,
and
that
Justice
was
Executed
on
him
,
wound
him
as
deep
,
as
what
killed
his
Body
,
in
that
which
is
next
in
value
to
the
Soul
,
His
Good
Name
.
To
such
a
palpable
untruth
,
such
a
mendacium
fenestratum
,
which
hath
so
many
wide
Windows
for
any
to
behold
it
,
this
unglost
Answer
will
be
most
convincing
and
suitable
,
Petilianus

THE
Postscript-Advertisement
.
I
Have
omitted
a
Scholastick
Discussion
of
my
Author's
Notions
with
submission
to
our
Learneder
Divines
,
confining
my
Thoughts
to
a
bare
Remarque
upon
his
Arguments
,
which
I
hope
is
enough
to
unhood
some
Persons
more
Hawk-sighted
in
Divinity
than
my self
,
to
Fly
at
him
with
an
abler
Quill
,
and
a
stronger
Wing
of
the
Church
.
Hereunto
I
have
added
a
Dormant
Piece
,
Printed
about
1650.
the
awaking
whereof
in
a
New
Edition
does
even
Present
,
or
{αβγδ}
,
times
past
,
and
pourtrays
the
ghastly
Shapes
of
Presbyterian
Policies
against
our
Church
and
Monarchical
State
,
with
none
of
the
insipidest
Touches
:
It
is
Ingenious
,
Laconick
,
and
hath
abundance
of
Salt
in
it
.
I
did
not
snatch
it
out
of
the
devouring
Jaws
of
Moths
and
Worms
,
that
it
might
live
a
Malefactor
,
or
Malecontent
in
these
Times
;
for
it
is
so
far
from
Tottering
their
present
Majesties
Crown
,
or
detracting
from
their
Government
or
Settlement
,
that
it
rather
Consults
how
to
Rivet
them
in
the
Throne
,
and
Fix
them
against
the
Shock
and
Assaults
of
such
Furious
Assailants

Assassines

as
the
Presbyterians
can
Attempt

A
NEW
DISCOVERY
OF
Old
England
,
IN
Certain
Contemplative
Observations
upon
the
present
Condition
of
this
distracted
Kingdom
.
POlicy
and
Allegiance
makes
a
happy
Prince
in
a
discreet
Subject
;
but
Policy
link'd
to
Disloyalty
makes
an
unhappy
Kingdom
:
The
sad
Truth
is
too
apparent
in
our
present
Mischiefs
whom
Obedience
confines
to
the
Prison
,
and
Rebellion
settles
in
the
Chair
.
Episcopacy
,
like
noble
Uriah
in
the
Front
of
the
Battel
,
first
struck
at
,
by
the
Receipt
of
a
mortal
Wound
,
stain'd
the
Hands
of
the
Infant
Difference
;
since
whose
Fall
the
adulterated
Church
of
England
hath
been
the
Prostitute
of
a
Synod
,
too
too
ignorant
to
recompence
her
Vitiation
,
by
contracting
her
to
Truth
and
Form
:
The
fair
one
had
some
Spots
i●
her
Face
to
cleanse
,
but
those
in
a
Laver
o●
Blood
have
clouded
the
Glory
of
her
Countenance
.
This
unexplated
Sin
gave
the
Kingdom
into
the
Hands
of
Men
,
whose
Actions
may
well
vie
Destruction
with
Israel's
Pestilence
.
The
laborious
Assembly
,
like
their
Forerunner
Hacker
(
with
Fan
in
Hand
)
sitting
in
Judgment
upon
the
Scriptures
,
are
as
tedious
in
their
Products
as
a
teaming
Elephant
,
disburthening
themselves
once
in
three
Years
of
some
new
Classis
or
Catechism
,
using
their
Mother
(
the
Church
)
as
pious
Medea
dealt
with
old
Eson
,
kill'd
him
to
renew
his
Youth
,
taking
special
Care
that
Popery
may
be
wholly
extirpated
,
by
picking
out
of
the
Ark
all
rotten
and
wormeaten
Ceremonies
,
placing
new
and
sound
Doctrines
of
their
own
in
the
room
,
till
in
the
end
the
Vessel
(
like
that
of
Sir
Francis
Bacon
)
shall
retain
its
former
Name
,
though
there
be
not
a
Stick
of
the
first
Composure
in
it
.
When
it
is
thus
rig'd
,
enter
and
set
sail
for
Heaven
,
which
,
if
we
reach
in
such
a
Bottom
,
a
Lapland
Witch
sailing
in
a
Sive
,
is
not
so
great
a
Miracle
,
though
the
same
wicked
Pilot
steer
both
.
Our
industrious
Re-edifiers
of
the
Temple
must
work
with
one
Hand
and
fight
with
the
other
,
if
they
will
raise
the
Fabrick
in
the
new
Model
;
a
Piece
in
the
Roundness
altogether
differing
from
wise
Solomon's
squarer
Contrivements
.
I
rather
believe
they
are
repeating
the
Babilonish
Task
,
and
that
is
the
most
probable
by
their
Variety
of
Languages
,
one
speaks
Brownism
,
another
speaks
Barrowism
,
a
third
Anabaptism
;
one
differs
in
Matter
,
another
in
Form
,
a
third
in
both
,
from
both
the
former
;
so
that
it
is
to
be
suspected
their
Misunderstandings
will
encrease
to
so
passionate
a
Height
,
that
after
a
confused
Banding
of
Opinions
(
their
prime
Materials
)
those
who
understand
one
another
(
though
understood
by
none
but
themselves
)
will
sever
and
depart
to
Amsterdam
,
Geneva
,
and
New
England
,
their
several
Collonies
.
The
second
Act
in
this
Tragedy
of
Peace
,
speaks
injured
Priam
,
the
Safety
of
whose
Troy
,
and
self
,
was
the
lost
Palladium
;
while
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Lord
,
carried
upon
the
Shoulders
of
the
Priests
,
went
before
us
,
what
Opposition
of
Schism
could
affront
our
Hoast
?
but
now
discess●it
ex
Arca
,
and
profaner
Hands
have
been
too
busie
with
our
sacred
Security
.
Our
noble
King
(
while
Christian
Loyalty
was
the
constant
Doctrine
of
that
divine
Oracle
,
Church
Government
)
seem'd
wall'd
with
Brass
,
and
covered
by
the
Veil
of
the
Altar
,
from
the
poisonous
Eyes
of
curious
Malignancy
,
but
now
his
naked
and
unprotected
Side
lies
open
to
the
Attempts
of
impious
Liberty
,
nothing
wanting
(
in
reference
to
their
Inflictions
)
that
may
give
a
Complexion
to
his
Sufferings
,
only
his
Alacrity
in
entertaining
what
their
Hate
can
impose
,
shews
him
so
far
above
their
Malice
,
that
he
seems
able
to
undergo
more
than
their
mischeivous
Studies
can
obtrude
;
while
he
poor
Prince
of
a
Mole-hill
(
tho'
Master
of
a
Heart
great
as
Pelion
upon
Ossa
)
like
the
King
of
true
Beasts
,
entangled
in
the
Toil
(
by
some
slight
Improvidence
of
his
own
)
scorns
to
fill
the
Ears
of
the
World
with
Complaints
and
Roaring
,
but
with
Majesty
repining
to
beg
even
Liberty
it self
,
with
Patience
expects
the
Event
of
his
Bondage
:
Thus
Cesar
threw
his
Garment
over
his
Face
and
died
perpetual
Dictator
.
See
what
an
undisturb'd
Mildness
his
Face
and
Actions
express
,
as
if
this
Eagle
were
a
Dove
and
had
no
Gall
,
no
single
Mischief
thunders
upon
his
Soul
,
the
Injuries
of
a
dear
Wife
,
and
a
lov'd
Issue
come
to
crown
his
Patience
,
a
Shock
worthy
the
Resistance
of
so
confirmed
a
Prince
:
Their
own
Eyes
who
have
been
Instruments
in
this
must
pay
due
Tribute
to
so
sad
a
Contemplation
,
and
weep
that
only
this
way
is
left
'em
to
their
supposed
Security
:
What
does
he
suffer
?
Even
that
which
would
make
Death
in
all
its
Horror
to
be
courted
by
a
carnal
Apprehension
.
Dejected
Job
,
in
the
Depth
of
Misery
had
triple
Comfort
,
and
though
he
chose
the
Dunghil
for
Repose
was
unconfined
:
Here
't
is
Treason
for
the
Son
to
beg
his
Father's
Blessing
,
too
much
Liberty
for
the
Father
to
be
shut
up
from
the
Sight
of
the
Children
,
and
utterly
impossible
for
the
Council
of
Friends
to
reach
his
Ears
,
who
being
in
himself
so
admirable
a
President
,
is
to
them
the
prime
Object
and
Motive
of
Imitation
and
Perseverance
.
Who
are
his
Enemies
?
Those
(
O
the
Unhappiness
of
Success
in
Treason
)
whose
whole
Help
is
Despair
;
since
they
are
conscious
they
have
sinned
beyond
Reconciliation
,
they
are
now
resolved
to
make
themselves
clearly
incapable
of
Mercy
,
Una
salus
miseris
nullam
sperare
salutem
:
And
Ills
of
this
Nature
cannot
be
safe
without
committing
greater
,
therefore
,
like
State-Fencers
with
the
Sword
of
Reformation
threatning
to
strike
off
petty
Abuses
at
the
Foot
of
the
Commonwealth
,
they
falsifie
and
have
a
care
of
your
Head
.
The
Design
is
not
yet
ripe
for
Action
,
the
squinting
Commonalty
sees
something
,
and
a
Northern
Plea
put
in
a
Demur
:
However
,
to
strike
sure
,
the
Affections
of
the
Subject
must
be
indirectly
sounded
:
First
remove
his
Throne
out
of
the
Peoples
Hearts
,
and
then
one
Man
may
do
the
rest
.
Nothing
so
effectual
to
this
purpose
as
Detraction
,
and
something
must
be
spoken
in
Prologue
to
the
intended
Tragedy
:
Let
it
concern
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
Country
questions
it
no
further
:
The
King
hindred
the
Relief
of
Rochel
,
and
their
King
reduced
them
to
due
Obedience
,
dangerous
and
exemplary
:
This
relates
to
themselves
,
whom
it
behoves
to
oblige
all
they
may
to
countenance
Rebellion
,
guessing
e're
long
they
may
want
Patrons
.
Next
something
monstrous
enough
to
busie
the
Eyes
of
the
World
must
be
pretended
,
lest
the
Depth
of
their
own
projected
Mischief
should
be
leisurably
inquired
into
.
The
Kid
must
be
seethed
in
the
Dam's
Milk
,
the
Father
died
to
leave
the
Son
a
Kingdom
,
the
Son
must
not
inherit
because
his
Father
's
dead
;
who
but
such
Artificers
could
have
invented
such
an
Engine
?
here
Matchiavel
does
Homage
.
Did
the
King
consent
to
violate
his
Father's
Age
?
He
is
as
far
above
their
Question
,
as
they
are
beneath
their
own
Justification
;
endeavouring
,
like
impious
Sons
,
to
do
no
less
to
the
Father
of
their
Kingdom
:
Who
,
thus
opprest
,
is
happy
in
his
true
Miseries
,
while
they
are
miserable
in
their
seeming
Happiness
,
having
from
his
princely
Essence
,
Nobleness
enough
to
create
Fortitude
,
while
they
retain
from
their
ambitious
Attempts
Uncertainty
of
Event
,
the
Parent
of
Doubt
and
Fear
.
Should
their
Intentions
move
to
his
Ruine
,
their
own
Mischief
would
halt
,
till
their
Intention
gave
it
Feet
to
overtake
themselves
:
This
cannot
be
unperceived
,
since
already
to
avoid
the
easie
Yoke
of
single
Monarchy
,
they
have
subjugated
themselves
to
the
confused
Burthen
of
as
many
Dictates
,
as
the
divided
Army
hath
Brigades
.
A
Body
,
whose
Success
was
enough
(
had
they
been
as
ingenuous
as
fortunate
)
to
have
inrich'd
them
with
a
Repute
durable
as
their
now
inseparable
Infamy
is
like
to
prove
;
who
,
like
the
untamed
Elements
in
the
moderated
Nature
of
Servants
,
were
of
use
to
their
Employers
;
but
their
careless
Masters
have
so
long
connived
,
that
they
may
now
change
Names
,
being
only
formally
what
the
other
essentially
are
;
to
speak
in
a
Martial
Phrase
,
a
Lieutenant
Parliament
to
their
General
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
,
poor
Pigmalions
,
Slaves
to
an
Image
of
their
own
making
:
The
Counsel
of
War
begets
those
Orders
in
private
which
the
Country
must
Father
in
publick
,
though
they
entertain
them
with
the
Countenance
of
a
Constable
when
he
finds
a
Wenche's
Maiden-head
lap'd
up
in
swadling
Clouts
in
his
Entry
.
Spight
of
all
Contradiction
,
a
Match
must
be
struck
between
Reformation
and
Independency
,
I
fear
while
the
Nuptials
are
celebrating
,
their
Brother
Presbyterians
(
as
very
Centaurs
as
themselves
)
will
endeavour
a
Rape
.
And
then
,
like
Cadmus's
Earth-born
Enemies
,
those
Twin-Prodigies
will
by
mutual
Execution
open
a
Passage
through
their
own
Bowels
for
injured
Majesty
to
re-ascend
the
Throne
.
True
Vertue
is
irrelative
to
either
extream
,
and
there
is
Hopes
the
House
may
stand
while
two
contrary
Winds
strive
to
overthrow
it
.
The
Independent
craftily
cedes
to
the
Presbyterian
,
and
while
he
seems
,
by
easie
Compliance
,
to
give
ground
,
destroys
his
Pursuer
:
Thus
a
flying
Parthian
shoots
backward
.
The
Presbyterian
,
secure
in
his
Flight
,
exposes
his
Breast
to
the
unexpected
Arrow
,
by
the
careless
and
open
management
of
his
Designs
,
when
both
are
fled
or
dead
,
the
Kingdom
will
be
without
an
Army
.
If
the
Presbyterian
take
the
Cure
in
hand
,
one
Poison
may
expel
another
,
something
must
succeed
to
cure
the
Remedy
,
else
the
Mist
that
makes
Independency
vanish
may
make
us
wander
:
He
that
drowns
in
a
Sea
or
a
River
,
meets
with
an
equal
Ruine
.
The
Crown
we
all
know
is
at
stake
,
for
which
the
Souldiers
and
the
States
are
casting
Lots
,
it
must
fall
to
one
of
their
Shares
to
rule
;
and
let
Aesop's
Frogs
beware
of
the
Stork
:
Yet
,
who
so
gains
it
shall
find
it
like
Nessus's
Shirt
,
when
stripp'd
over
his
Ears
his
Head
and
Quarters
will
follow
it
.
The
Countrey
in
the
mean
time
,
like
pretty
School-Boys
,
puff
themselves
out
of
Breath
to
mount
those
round
Bubbles
;
whom
,
while
they
follow
with
their
Eye
and
Admiration
,
if
their
unguided
Feet
stumble
not
to
a
further
Mischief
,
their
best
Reward
shall
be
the
Loss
of
their
Expences
,
and
the
Sight
of
nothing
:
This
they
begin
to
guess
at
,
and
would
now
be
contented
to
be
loyal
,
but
that
the
Danger
out-weighs
their
honest
Desires
,
The
Vulgar
most
to
Cesar
bends
,
Yet
with
their
Love
their
Fear
contends
.
I
could
laugh
to
see
them
drink
the
King's
Health
by
Signs
,
to
the
Encouragement
of
whose
Ruine
,
so
many
Thousands
of
their
petitionary
Hands
have
signed
:
A
handsome
Recantation
,
much
like
that
Secret
of
Nature
in
Albertus
Magnus
,
where
by
spitting
in
that
Fist
with
which
you
struck
,
the
Pain
of
the
inflicted
Blow
shall
immediately
cease
.
Well
,
let
the
Houses
proceed
,
but
this
by
the
way
,
should
the
Train
take
Fire
,
and
blow
up
the
King
,
Power
,
and
Person
,
look
upon
the
Series
of
his
Progeny
,
and
this
is
no
Security
to
the
Machinators
,
but
the
expected
Sun
,
instead
of
shining
with
Serenity
upon
the
Kingdom
,
will
become
a
Blazing
Commet
,
threatning
Fire
and
Sword
.
I
hope
better
,
and
believe
the
wisest
of
them
,
like
expert
Generals
,
keep
their
Ground
until
their
Carriages
march
off
:
Some
petty
Voters
that
pin
their
Resolve
upon
unpremeditated
Event
;
have
not
perhaps
the
Discretion
to
perceive
their
own
Danger
or
the
Conveyances
of
their
wiser
Fellows
.
Let
them
consider
their
Condition
,
and
find
themselves
miserable
,
since
their
whole
Safety
lives
in
the
Opinion
of
an
hired
Army
;
especially
when
they
know
themselves
so
loath
to
pay
the
Hire
of
their
own
Security
:
If
the
King
may
be
mewed
up
,
the
Souldier
fooled
,
and
the
Scots
blandish'd
till
the
Houses
are
finished
at
Amsterdam
,
and
the
designed
Angels
flown
to
rest
on
the
Bank
beyond
the
Water
,
then
all
that
can
will
skip
to
scape
the
Collar
.
't
is
thought
this
Summer
will
ripen
the
Fruit
,
and
those
glorious
Apples
of
Sodom
drop
from
the
Tree
:
If
Heaven
restore
the
Gardner
of
the
Kingdom
to
his
Charge
and
Care
,
there
will
be
lopping
and
throwing
into
the
Fire
;
if
not
,
the
Soil
will
prove
too
rank
for
a
settled
Peace
to
flourish
in
.
From
their
own
Sins
and
Differences
;
we
derive
some
Hopes
from
the
Justice
of
our
Cause
,
we
second
those
and
the
Indisposition
of
the
Country
towards
their
Injunctions
,
gives
a
further
Confirmation
:
Who
,
though
they
enjoy
some
Immunity
in
their
Silence
;
yet
,
as
in
their
own
Curs
their
not
barking
is
not
an
Argument
of
their
want
of
Teeth
,
happily
they
are
in
a
Pinfold
,
and
the
hovering
Army
(
though
more
like
Wolves
than
Shepherds
,
awe
them
with
a
Whistle
,
but
the
Nature
of
those
Flocks
are
like
that
of
an
immured
Torrent
,
which
having
once
found
the
least
Rimula
of
Emission
,
pursues
it
to
a
perfect
Enlargement
.
Should
the
North
summon
their
Guards
to
an
Employment
,
some
bold
Dux
Gregis
or
other
,
would
lead
the
way
,
and
then
Ruit
Vulgus
.
And
now
Vengeance
,
with
a
Motion
swift
as
Injury
can
wish
(
through
all
the
Foils
and
Doubles
of
Pretence
)
prosecutes
the
guilty
Game
in
open
View
:
Whose
faint
Evasions
promise
to
Justice
a
sudden
Attach
of
her
expected
Prey
.
Our
State-Actaeons
being
(
by
looking
with
too
familiar
an
Eye
upon
Divine
Majesty
)
transformed
into
a
Chase
for
their
own
Scotch
Beagles
,
who
know
not
their
once
Masters
in
their
newly
assumed
Independent
Shape
.
The
Cavalier
has
been
long
at
a
Fault
,
but
hearing
the
Cry
renew
,
joyns
Throats
with
the
Covenant
,
a
deep
mouth'd
Bloodhound
in
a
loud
Pursuit
:
If
the
Blandishment
of
a
Dominum
cognoscite
vestrum
,
in
the
late
Declaration
cannot
prevail
to
a
Regard
,
the
last
Act
must
be
like
the
Fall
of
an
Eremanthean
Boar
to
attempt
Security
by
a
desperate
Use
of
the
Tusk
and
Sword
;
the
only
mischeivous
Means
to
crown
the
unnatural
Process
with
a
Brutish
Period
.
If
the
Scot
be
not
too
covetous
to
be
honest
,
the
next
Scene
is
shifting
,
but
give
me
leave
to
doubt
the
Reason
of
their
Distance
to
proceed
from
the
Taste
of
those
Sweets
,
which
the
unwearied
Vigilancy
of
our
Collector's
Industry
here
hath
so
often
made
them
Fellow-Sharers
in
;
I
doubt
they
have
the
Discretion
of
making
their
Hire
an
Inheritance
,
and
can
,
like
those
,
Qui
noverant
secreta
domus
atque
inde
timeri
;
fright
the
Parliament
when
they
please
into
a
Compliance
,
by
the
Bug-bear
of
advancing
;
their
League
with
France
,
and
the
Sense
of
that
Honor
which
they
exposed
in
delivering
up
his
Majesty
,
who
fled
to
them
for
Protection
,
may
somewhat
incline
them
to
Motion
:
It
would
be
as
strange
as
grateful
,
should
those
Northern
Blasts
(
which
have
hitherto
breathed
nothing
but
Barrenness
and
Sterility
upon
England
)
come
hand
in
hand
with
our
hopeful
Spring
.
He
that
rides
upon
the
Wings
of
the
Wind
,
can
(
if
he
please
)
make
this
Boreas
a
Zephire
,
to
them
a
Storm
that
hate
the
King
,
to
those
a
Calmy
Fanning
Refreshment
that
love
him
and
the
Peace
of
his
Government
.
FINIS
