Animadversions
On
the
foregoing
BREVIATS

I
Begin
with
their
Ends
:
Here
we
find
Religion
not
only
preferred
by
the
Pope
,
but
Duke
of
York
also
,
above
Concerns
of
Crowns
and
Kingdoms
;
and
of
those
he
so
impatiently
expects
,
and
hath
so
long
,
so
hotly
,
so
primitively
pursued
,
to
the
extreme
hazard
of
his
Brother

The
other
Conspirators
also
do
all
design
and
practise
all
things
altogether
for
the
good
of
the
English
Catholiques
,
and
Catholique
Religion
:
Here
they
play
the
Devils
for
Gods
sake

Tantum

A
shame
to
those
Clergy
and
Gentry
,
that
are
not
as
zealous
to
preserve
and
propagate
the
true
,
as
they
the
false
.
The
means
by
which
they
seek
to
bring
this
about
,
the
Advance
of
the
Duke
of
York
to
such
a
posture
,
and
by
such
measures
,
as
no
Protestant
,
not
Mr.
Ravigni
the
King
of
France's
Embassadour
was
fit
to
be
made
privy
to
,
or
act
in
,
which
might
speedily
produce
to
the
French
King
advantages
of
more
than
300000
l.
which
was
more
than
he
valued
the
King
and
all
his
Party
to
be
worth
,
or
able
to
deserve
,
which
doth
strongly
intimate
that
he
was
to
be
removed
.
A
Foundation
was
to
be
laid
by
the
DUke
,
whereon
the
French
King
might
raise
the
Fifth
Universal
Monarchy
,
and
the
Papists
enjoy
their
Fanatick
expectations
under
it
without
doubt
:
And
to
the
same
end
,
the
Peace
betwixt
France
and
Spain
was
to
be
promoted
at
the
Treaty
of
Nimegen
.
The
Daughters
of
England
were
to
be
disposed
of
to
Popish
Princes
,
the
Lady
Anne
to
the
Duke
of
Florence
.
It
was
a
fault
,
though
well
removed
by
the
Duke
,
by
his
Letters
Excusatory
to
the
Pope
,
and
so
cast
on
the
King
without
doubt
,
yet
not
to
be
acknowledged
,
as
well
excused
in
the
Popes
Answer
,
that
he
might
understand
that
all
Matches
into
Royal
Blood
,
and
hopes
thereby
of
inheriting
Kingdoms
,
ought
to
be
reserved
,
and
will
be
hereafter
to
be
disposed
by
his
Holiness
on
such
his
Favourites
,
the
fierce
and
sworn
Enemies
of
all
Heretiques
,
and
their
Abettors
,
as
he
should
commend
or
approve
.
The
late
Long
Parliament
was
to
be
dissolved
,
that
the
King
who
was
not
like
to
have
another
so
much
at
his
Command
,
might
not
have
them
to
relye
on
,
and
so
be
compelled
to
stick
to
the
Papists
,
and
their
Councels
to
dispair
of
help
from
Parliaments
;
or
if
he
called
a
new
one
,
they
might
out-bribe
,
and
so
out-vote
him
and
his
Party
in
Elections
of
Parliament
men
,
and
so
in
the
Parliament
it self
with
the
French
money
:
This
they
call
buying
a
Parliament
for
the
Duke
,
by
which
they
hoped
to
make
him
Admiral
General
,
and
all
things
;
and

Here
I
should
have
come

the
Enumeration
and
Description
of
the
Conspirators
,
but
being
they
are
such
Strangers
unto
me
,
that
I
know
the
Duke
of
York
no
more
than
the
Pope
,
and
may
safely
take
my
Oath
,
that
to
my
best
remembrance
I
have
rarely
seen
,
and
scarcely
know
any
,
or
but
two
at
most
whom
every
one
knows
,
and
adorns
with
their
dogged
Rhetorick
;
and
I
believe
and
hope
they
know
me
as
little
,
or
less
:
The
best
way
I
can
think
of
for
my
Readers
satisfaction
,
instead
of
giving
their
Characters
,
I
will
set
down
their
Correspondents
,
by
which
he
may
Characterize
them
,
if
he
pleases
,
in
his
own
Thoughts
.
Noscitur

Socio

non

But
now
before
I
come
to
Enumerate
them
,
I
call
to
mind
that
I
know
a
Third
,
whom
of
all
of
them
I
wish
I
had
never
known
;
and
he
also
is
none
of
the
Delights
of
Mankind
.
I
begin
with
his
Holiness
;
a
kind
,
good
Natured
,
Old
Gentleman
,
if
you
can
believe
either
the
Cardinal
Norfolk
,
or
Mr.
Oates
,
not
unknown
to
that
Scarlet
Hat
.
You
may
be
sure
he
keeps
Intelligence
with
no
mean
persons
;
and
I
had
as
leave
you
as
I
should
trouble
your self
to
number
his
Briefs
,
Bulls
,
or
Bables
,
as
they
signifie
in
English
,
and
differ
little
in
value
from
those
our
Children
blow
and
play
withall
;
but
that
being
more
costly
,
though
as
empty
and
vain
,
they
are
sport
for
their
Masters
,
the
Childishly
deluded
Grandees
of
the
World
,
with
whom
I
leave
them
.
The
French
King
would
be
offended
if
he
should
not
be
Assigned
the
next
Place
after
his
Holiness
;
and
he
,
if
any
Contemporary
to
the
expected
Fall
of
the
Romish
Babylon
,
may
stand
Parallel
and
Antitype
to
Nimrod
the
Mighty
Hunter
before
God
in
our
days
:
I
doubt
he
hath
not
chosen
a
good
Season
to
erect
his
Fifth
Monarchy
,
nor
is
his
Kingdom
furnished
with
Lasting
Materials
for
such
a
work
;
but
above
all
,
I
mislike
the
Cement
of
Christian
Blood
,
with
which
he
seeks
to
fasten
the
Fleet
in
Sands
,
whereon
he
hath
laid
the
Foundation
of
his
Walls
and
Bulwarks
for
the
defence
of
his
Rapine
,
wherein
he
glories
,
as
some
of
those
Heathen
Monsters
,
who
thought
themselves
worthy
the
Name
of
Great
Conquerours
,
because
they
had
been
cruel
bloody
Butchers
,
and
Oppressors
of
the
Ages
they
lived
in
,
and
were
more
truly
stiled
by
sober
Historians
,
The
Scourges
and
Plagues
of
Mankind
:
He
is
the
Great
Patron
and
Protector
of
all
our
Conspirators
,
not
excepting
our
vilest
Enemies
,
and
most
unworthy
a
Kings
Favour
;
the
Assassions
,
Incendaries
,
and
Massacring
Villains
who
burnt
the
City
of
London
,
designed
to
Murder
the
King
,
and
bury
him
with
the
massacred
Citizens
in
the
Ashes
of
that
Renowned
City
.
This
is
not
the
first
time
that
the
French
Monarch
hath
been
invited
by
his
Jesuit
Confessor
to
take
the
advantages
of
base
Treasons
,
against
their
loving
,
disarmed
,
and
peaceable
Neighbours
,
which
the
Generous
Romans
scorned
to
take
against
their
publick
,
armed
,
and
most
dreadful
Enemies
.
I
have
read
some
where
,
that
Father
Cotten
,
Confessor
to
Hen
.
11.
of
France
,
discovered
to
him
the
Gun-Powder
Treason
,
and
offered
him
the
advantage
of
invading
England
,
at
the
moment
of
that
Astonishing
Blow
,
destitute
of
Prince
or
Councel
to
Conduct
them
in
their
Defence
.
And
the
truth
is
,
not
only
the
Gun-Powder
Treason
,
but
the
Fire
of
London
,
without
some
such
Confederacy
with
France
,
were
little
less
Phrentick
than
Venners
Action
;
though
the
latter
proved
mischievous
enough
to
our
Citizens
,
when
the
Accounts
of
Rome
and
London
are
cast
up
,
the
Jesuits
Crack
of
thirty
thousand
pound
,
or
he
fourteen
thousand
pound
gain
,
may
be
found
some
one
hundred
thousand
pound
per
Annum
lost
to
their
Party
in
a
few
years
:
And
how
the
same
Society
will
reward
Lewis
the
Fourteenth
at
last
,
for
not
assisting
them
with
his
Land-Forces
to
go
through
their
work
at
that
time
,
as
they
expected
,
I
neither
know
,
nor
care
;
but
Henry
the
Eleventh
paid
his
neglect
to
them
with
the
expence
of
his
dearest
Hearts
Blood
,
and
disappointment
to
his
most
Glorious
Designs
,
when
best
prepared
for
them
:
And
some
to
justifie
their
malice
against
him
,
would
bear
us
in
hand
,
that
it
was
Henry's
Treason
against
his
Confessor
,
and
his
Papal
Holiness
,
for
which
he
deserved
at
their
hands
as
many
Deaths
,
as
he
saved
Protestants
lives
,
that
was
about
thirty
thousand
;
that
gave
King
James
the
Honour
of
so
profound
a
Speculation
,
by
which
he
was
supposed
to
have
devined
the
Powder-Plot
,
and
the
happy
deliverance
of
Himself
,
Queen
,
Family
and
People
,
from
that
till
then
unheard
of
Treason
;
if
so
,
we
owe
to
his
Memory
.
But
it
may
be
this
Haughty
Prince
never
concerned
himself
to
look
in
his
own
Person
to
so
poor
a
Design
as
the
hiring
a
few
Rascals
to
fire
and
plunder
his
Neighbours
Towns
:
For
if
it
be
true
that
I
have
heard
,
his
Minister
Lovoy
knows
,
and
hath
estimated
the
Means
and
Costs
of
burning
all
his
Masters
Enemies
out
of
their
Towns
and
Cities
;
but
whether
he
knew
the
Artifice
before
,
or
learned
it
at
our
costs
in
the
London
experiment
,
he
hath
not
been
suspected
,
that
I
have
heard
,
to
put
it
since
in
practice
,
though
he
rated
it
at
no
very
great
sums
of
Crowns
;
and
assured
himself
,
that
the
Wandring
Priests
and
Fryars
which
swarm
in
all
populous
Towns
,
could
not
stand
against
the
Temptations
of
so
many
Lewis's
,
and
would
think
the
exchange
very
advantageous
,
to
give
Fire
,
and
take
Gold
;
at
that
rate
he
did
Calculate
it
.
But
neither
do
I
find
that
any
of
his
great
Ministers
,
Colbert
or
Pompone
,
were
concerned
with
these
Pimping
Traytors
:
St.
Germain
,
and
such
like
Correspondents
,
were
thought
sufficient
to
manage
these
Intrigues
against
such
an
inconsiderable
Party
as
they
esteemed
the
Kings
to
be
;
and
well
might
,
if
Lauderdale
and
Danby
were
their
Correspondent
Pensioners
,
though
not
through-paced
when
slowly
paid
.
The
third
place
and
degree
in
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
I
think
will
be
allowed
to
our
D.
of
York
:
For
Spain
,
he
had
sometimes
a
contrary
Interest
to
that
of
our
Ruine
,
and
the
Emperour
too
far
off
to
be
feared
,
though
his
assistance
be
also
strongly
promised
to
our
destruction
by
the
Popes
Internuncio
.
Albany
.
The
King
of
England
,
for
what
appears
here
,
holds
indeed
a
secret
Intelligence
with
the
French
King
,
but
nothing
is
discovered
in
it
which
might
not
be
for
the
publick
good
of
his
own
Kingdom
,
and
all
Christendom
:
His
Correspondence
with
Cardinal
Norfolk
interceding
for
a
Banished
and
Deposed
Queen
,
may
have
not
only
compassion
and
courtesie
,
but
gratitude
in
it
.
We
leave
him
therefore
to
stand
or
fall
by
his
Master
,
as
he
is
not
only
above
our
private
Ken
and
Judgment
,
but
out
of
the
reach
of
all
Courts
of
Judicature
,
even
that
of
his
Parliament
,
who
cannot
Commence
any
Session
without
his
Personal

in
capacity
to
come
;
and
he
cannot
be
both
Judge
and
Party
in
his
own
Cause
,
in
a
Court
where
there
is
no
Appeal
.
Concerning
the
Duke
,
there
are
two
Questions
,
de
Jure
,
and
de
Facto
.
De
Jure
,
whether
he
may
be
Impeached
,
or
no
,
I
dispute
not
;
De
Facto
,
is
my
enquiry
what
he
hath
done
to
deserve
it
,
if
he
be
responsible
.
His
Correspondents
I
find
to
be
first
the
Pope
,
against
whom
the
Publick
Enemy
of
his
King
and
Country
not
to
be
at
enmity
,
at
least
actually
to
be
reconciled
,
as
this
D.
was
by
Dr.
Armstrong
Franciscan
,
is
High-Treason
by
as
good
a
Law
of
his
Grandfather
,
as
that
by
which
,
being
a
Forreigner
born
,
his
Title
to
the
Crown
was
Recognized
against
the
Right
Heirs
of
Ed.
VI
.
English
born
,
under
which
also
he
must
claim
his
Succession
to
the
Crown
of
England
;
and
this
Correspondence
had
since
the
Indempnity
,
by
which
he
would
avoid
his
Treasonable
Apostacy
from
the
Church
,
and
his
Allegiance
.
His
Trading
with
the
Pope
for
Briefs
,
Beads
,
and
Indulgences
,
his
excusing
his
Daughters
Marriage
to
his
Cosin
of
Orange
;
his
Charming
Letters
,
breaking
the
good
Old
Gentlemans
Heart
at
Rome
into
Tears
,
and
receiving
so
fine
,
full
tender
returns
in
Bables
,
Bulls
,
or
Briefs
,
and
promises
of
endeavouring
all
things
for
him
,
shew
how
fit
he
is
to
Reign
over
Free-men
,
who
is
stooped
so
low
,
to
become
of
a
Free
Prince
,
a
Vassal
and
Pensioner
of
the
See
of
Rome
.
I
need
not
,
after
this
,
object
to
him
his
Correspondence
with
the
French
King
by
his
Confessor
,
in
whose
Pedantick
hand
his
Advices
shall
be
sure
to
be
corrected
only
to
the
Concerns
of
home
,
but
betrayed
to
their
General
and
Society
,
and
made
Truckle
under
their
Intrigues
.
His
Factory
and
Trade
with
France
for
the
Catholiques
of
England
,
if
it
signifie
nothing
against
his
Brother
and
Sovereign
whilst
alive
,
which
is
scarce
possible
,
considering
his
and
their
Temptations
to
make
a
false
step
or
two
to
ascend
a
Throne
,
and
advance
an
oppressed
Church
of
beloved
Friends
,
against
it
s
suspected
or
declared
Enemies
;
it
is
a
direct
Conspiracy
against
the
Law
,
Liberties
and
Religion
of
the
Protestant
Kingdom
,
and
tends
to
the
dissolution
of
the
Government
,
and
destruction
of
himself
and
Royal
Brother
.
That
we
may
rightly
understand
his
Concerns
in
the
Plot
,
we
must
consider
,
as
far
as
our
Letters
enlightned
us
,
his
End
,
his
Correspondents
,
his
Actions
,
his
Instruments
,
the
Character
they
give
him
,
and
the
odious
comparisons
,
by
which
they
extol
him
above
his
Brother
;
of
whose
Vertues
we
have
as
many
thankful
remembrances
,
as
we
have
true
acknowledgments
of
the
Dukes
Vices
:
I
wish
here
had
been
some
mention
of
his
wise
Councel
;
but
here
Coleman
is
all
,
and
inspires
him
with
those
vigorous
Counsels
which
are
necessary
for
Catholiques
.
N.

First
,
For
his
end
,
he
professes
to
do
all
for
the
Catholique
Religion
,
and
his
Catholiques
.
N.
59.
For
all
other
English
men
,
and
their
Representative
Body
,
are
his
declared
enemies
,
and
designed
materials
only
for
his
Valour
to
work
on
by
Fire
and
Sword
,
to
the
attainment
of
a
Glorious
Victory
,
to
Usher
him
in
Triumph
into
his
share
of
the
Papal
Fifth
Monarchy
.
N.

The
means
to
this
are
;
Improving
the
long
Prorogation
.
Taking
new
measures
.
Such
as
will
speedily
please
France
,
and
compensate
300000
l.
they
advance
;
impossible
for
his
inconsiderable
Brother
and
Party
to
do
.
All
which
spelt
together
,
are
in
one
word
to
Kill
the
K.
massacre
his
Subjects
,
and
fire
his
good
Towns
and
Cities
,
whether
the
D.
will
understand
it
so
or
no
.
Another
special
means
to
his
Catholique
ends
,
was
to
dissolve
the
then
Parliament
,
that
was
Killing
the
People
in
Effigie
in
their
Representative
,
as
things
then
stood
;
and
to
that
also
,
the
readiest
way
was
Killing
the
K.
the
D's
.
compleat
,
expected
designed
Victory
at
one
Blow
.
His
next
means
and
more
effectual
then
Sword
and
Fire
(
take
the
Plague
into
)
which
the
Jesuites
know
easily
to
transport
now
,
it
is
bringing
up
the
King
of
France's
Reare
,
and
paying
his
quarters
in
the
Low-countrys
of
Germany
,
and
shall
not
be
long
from
us
if
they
can
help
it
over
,
is
the
Purchase
of
a
Parliament
with
French
mony
—
Here
observe
why
he
was
no
friend
,
nor
his
Catholicks
to
the
last
long
Parliament
;
they
were
Pentioners
,
but
not
all
for
his
interest
,
nor
all
Pentioners
.
His
Father
Hide
and
his
Catholick
friend
Clifford
,
had
not
in
three
times
sufficiently
deboched
the
People
,
to
see
themselves
and
their
Country
in
a
Drunken
mood
,
nor
turned
out
all
sober
men
out
of
the
Corporations
,
nor
had
money
enough
to
buy
false
and
double
Elections
;
enough
at
once
with
false
Sheriffs
,
and
returns
to
make
a
Committee
of
Elections
,
six
to
turn
out
all
honest
men
,
that
is
all
English
Gentlemen
whom
they
nickname
Presbyterians
by
Test
fair
or
foul
play
out
of
the
Parliament
.
But
now
the
craft
of
the
Bribery
,
&c.
being
better
known
,
and
the
pleople
some
degrees
further
deboched
,
after
the
example
of
the
Court
300000
l.
French
mony
,
as
he
well
computed
would
buy
a
Parliament
,
and
that
once
bought
he
never
needed
to
throw
a
Fire-Ball
more
in
the
City
,
Protect
nor
give
Pensions
for
the
London
Incendiaries
;
nor
draw
a
a
Sword
against
the
Fanatick
:
the
terror
of
one
Troop
of
Granadeers
to
guard
such
a
Parliament
will
do
his
work
,
and
make
him
absolute
Victor
over
us
,
our
Parliaments
,
Laws
,
Liberties
,
Lives
and
Religion
.
Oh
the
sordid
niggardliness
or
folly
of
the
Ministers
of
the
French
King
;
for
I
believe
his
lofty
Majesty
never
looks
so
low
as
through
this
design
,
that
complyed
not
seasonably
with
this
proposal
,
which
would
by
a
strange
Metamorphosis
have
Converted
the
Kingdom
of
England
to
a
Catholick
Kingdom
,
London
to
Paris
,
England
unto
France
.
His
Correspondents
are
next
to
be
considered
;
in
this
I
have
partly
prevented
my self
,
namely
in
his
Concerns
with
the
Pope
,
and
we
finde
little
of
his
Correspondency
with
the
French
King
;
for
though
we
read
here
of
Trade
and
Kindness
,
and
how
much
he
thought
to
please
,
and
how
strongly
he
was
atached
to
France
,
and
their
sole
Factor
for
the
Catholicks
,
and
to
lay
a
sure
foundation
for
France
to
build
on
;
yet
that
French
Monarch
seems
to
keep
state
,
and
not
to
correspond
personally
with
him
,
nor
by
his
Ministers
for
ought
here
appears
,
but
by
his
Confessor
,
and
other
inferior
Agents
,
with
his
Secretary
Coleman
.
Of
the
Duke
of
Florence
we
find
only
that
he
is
inclined
to
the
Duke
with
great
respect
recovers
upon
a
Proposition
of
a
Match
with
Lady
Anne
,
Num

With
the
Cardinal
Norfolk
and

had
held
correspondency
by
Coleman

Catholick
Secretary

amongst
whose
papers

I
have
spared
to
set
down
this
ingenious
and
learned
mans
name
at
length
,
but
J
can
hardly
believe
my
own
eyes
,
but
if
he
be
indeed
a
Correspondent
with
Rome
by
Albany
and
Cardinal
Norfolk
,
as
I
find
it
here
expressly
declared
,
considering
the
Eminent
Place
he
hath
and
doth
serve
in
,
and
very
great
Person
he
is
related
to
,
the
great
interest
he
hath
in
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
his
Country
none
of
the
least
considerable
in
England
,
his
Estate
already
setled
on
his
Son
who
Voted
against
the
Duke
as
I
am
informed
,
I
am
astonished
to
think
in
what
estate
the
poor
people
of
England
will
find
it
themselves
,
when
these
Pillars
whereon
She
seemed
to
me
to
rely
,
and
be
supported
most
strongly
and
gloriously
,
are
either
rotten
at
heart
,
or
thus
dissemble
with
God
and
their
Prince
to
keep
their
Imployments
.
And
I
am
out
of
measure
confounded
,
when
I
consider
that
in
a
County
of
so
numerous
and
noble
Gentry
,
he
could
devide
the
Clergy
and
carry
a
Vote
against
the
major
part
of
them
:
for
his
next
relation
in
which
his
Power
appears
greater
then
if
he
had
carried
it
for
himself
.
Heu
quatum
Mortalia
pectora
—
Noctis
habent
,
And
if
any
of
the
Gentlemen
of
that
County
,
who
so
numerously
Voted
against
his
Interest
,
which
seems
strange
to
me
can
or
have
deterred
him
;
I
beg
of
them
by
all
that
is
sacred
,
that
they
would
apply
themselves
and
by
their
Interest
in
his
Majesties
Parliament
and
those
few
friends
they
can
any
ways
find
and
be
assured
of
to
heal
our
Breaches
&
unite
all
sober
Protestants
in
the
common
Interest
of
Peace
and
Religion
,
and
not
bite
and
devour
one
another
;
for
if
they
be
not
wholly
devoured
by
one
another
,
they
will
certainly
expose
themselves
with
that
Party
and
Kingdom
they
are
so
zealous
for
,
to
be
a
prey
to
their
Common
Enemies
.
Which
that
God
of
his
Infinite
Mercy
will
prevent
wholly
,
as
he
goes
on
to
Detect
wonderfully
,
and
thereby
graciously
warn
us
to
Repent
,
and
return
to
Him
for
Protection
and
Safety
:
Is
the
Prayer
of
their
poor
Countreyman
,
who
with
Bleeding
Heart
,
and
Mournful
Eyes
,
laments
the
sad
Condition
of
his
Prince
and
Countrey
,
who
seem
to
him
Confounded
by
these
Prodigious
Traitors
,
to
run
fiercely
with
open
Eyes
to
the
dreadful
pit
of
Slavery
,
Popery
,
and
utter
Confusion
,
whereunto
they
are
Sold
by
them
they
Confide
in
,
and
could
not
possibly
expect
to
be
so
Wicked
,
untilthis
Incredible
Discovery
made

their
,
in

to

Here
in
these
Private
and
Familiar
Letters
we
learn
to
distinguish
between
those
they
publickly
pretend
to
be
Enemies
to
,
and
those
whom
they
truly
account
their
Enemies
(
that
is
,
who
they
are
that
the
Papists
and
French
Factions
do
truly
hate
and
seek
to
destroy
)
not
any
Parties
with
or
Dissentors
from
the
Church
of
England
,
whom
by
their
bawling
Agents
and
Pamphlets
,
they
contiuually
rail
at
,
calumniate
,
and
seek
to
divide
and
provoke
one
against
another
;
but
it
is
the
Noble
and
Valiant
Protestant
Gentry
whom
they
fear
and
hate
,
the
Parliament
,
the
whole
Free
People
of
England
by
them
represented
,
their
Laws
,
Libetties
,
and
Religion
,
in
gross
by
them
protected
,
the
Governours
and
Governed
,
and
Government
it self
;
which
whilst
it
stands
,
the
Greatness
of
France
thinketh
it self
not
to
stand
secure
,
nor
hold
his
Conquest
fast
and
sure
to
him
.
Here
you
may
see
what
their
Loyalty
,
Gratitude
,
and
Kindness
to
their
Good
King
is
;
others
pity
and
cover
his
Infirmities
:
the
Old
Apostates
,
by
whose
favour
warmed
,
these
Snakes
become
Considerable
and
Terrible
,
as
Throckmorton
here
and
every
where
,
very
impertinently
insulting
,
abusing
,
inveghing
against
him
,
and
exposing
him
;
but
never
express
any
Compassion
towards
him
,
or
the
least
good
wish
towards
him
,
his
Affairs
,
or
his
Reformation
;
and
make
and
mention
him
only
as
a
Foil
to
his
Brother
,
whose
Vertues
they
as
insolently
boast
and
exaggerate
,
as
they
flatteringly
and
knavishly
conceal
his
Vices
;
which
if
they
be
not
more
wicked
in
a
Subject
,
that
pretends
so
much
Holiness
and
Religion
,
by
the
Hypocrisie
that
covers
them
,
they
are
more
dangerous
in
a
Prince
,
and
render
him
unacceptable
and
uncapable
of
the
Government
he
so
ambitiously
seeks
and
aspires
to
,
by
exposing
his
King
and
Countrey
to
the
greatest
horrors
and
dangers
imaginable
:
I
need
not
instance
in
any
,
they
are
too
well
known
.
I
delight
not
in
Detraction
,
here
the
reason
is
manifest
why
he
and
they
did
procure
the
Long
Illegal
Prorogation
for
Seventeen
Months
,
and
endeavored
then
,
and
have
since
Dissolved
the
late
Long
Parliament
:
namely
,
That
they
might
Corrupt
the
Government
of
their
Countrey
,
by
buying
to
them
,
with
French
Money
,
the
Votes
of
as
many
Electors
and
Members
as
they
could
draw
to
their
Party
against
their
Countrey
,
their
King
,
and
his
Party
;
which
,
as
inconsiderable
as
they
make
and
esteem
it
apart
,
joyning
oft
with
their
Countrey
,
stopt
these
Jehues
in
their
furious
Carrier
,
by
which
they
drove
Charle's
Wain
so
madly
by
France
to
Rome
;
that
is
,
by
Temporal
to
Spiritual
Vassalage
and
Slavery
.
Not
a
word
of
Presbyterians
,
Phanaticks
,
Sons
of
the
Church
,
those
misty
Names
of
mighty
use
with
these
Jugglers
,
wherewith
they
so
amuse
the
People
in
their
Publick
Writings
,
and
strangely
Confound
and
Divide
Them
,
that
they
may
not
know
whom
to
follow
in
their
necessary
Defence
against
these
Cut-Throats
;
that
so
whilst
they
Massacre
one
Party
whom
they
publickly
pretend
especially
to
hate
,
the
other
may
not
take
the
Alarm
to
trouble
or
oppose
them
.
Methinks
it
pities
me
to
see
my
Honest
Countreymen
in
that
Noble
Romans
lamentable
Condition
,
when
in
a
Bloody
War
he
sadly
complained
,
Quem
fugiam
video
quem
sequar
non
video
.
Here
to
their
Friends
they
lay
off
their
Disguise
,
they
unbosome
themselves
,
and
frankly
confess
to
one
another
,
Their
Enemies
over
whom
they
seek
Victory
,
and
with
whom
they
will
have
no
Peace
,
are
the
whole
Body
of
the
King
and
English
People
,
Parliament
and
Government
,
as
the
Bulwarks
of
their
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
,
which
they
seek
to
Dissolve
by
their
Desolation
.
These
Roman
Wolves
fly
at
the
Throat
.
In
the
Parliament
is
the
Throat
of
the
Publick
;
It
is
the
Neck
that
joyns
the
Head
and
Body
.
The
King
and
People
that
conveys
the
Influences
of
Peace
and
Justice
from
the
Head
of
every
Member
,
they
would
Cut
off
,
and
for
ever
so
seperate
(
if
possible
)
from
one
another
,
that
thereby
they
might
frame
to
themselves
a
Monstrous
Anarchy
,
by
leaving
the
Kingdom
without
a
Head
;
and
joyning
the
Head
to
their
mishapen
Limbs
,
if
they
could
pull
down
the
Parliament
once
by
Force
,
or
Fraud
,
Arms
or
Money
,
and
pull
out
their
Throats
.
If
they
could
Kill
or
Corrupt
the
Dogs
,
they
would
easily
and
at
their
pleasure
,
devour
the
poor
Sheep
.
Thus
much
was
thought
necessary
in
this
Conjuncture
of
Infidelity
and
Distrust
,
to
undeceive
the
Prejudiced
,
confirm
the
Staggering
,
convince
the
Nullifidian
,
establish
the
Faithful
,
encourage
the
Drooping
,
vindicate
the
King's
Evidence
,
awaken
and
chear
his
Faithful
Subjects
to
Watch
and
Defend
him
;
clear
and
justifie
the
last
Parliament
in
their
Honourable
and
just
Proceedings
,
till
the
Matters
and
Proofs
before
them
,
much
more
Full
and
Copious
,
may
be
brought
to
a
publick
Hearing
and
free
Decision
.
