A34311	The ultimum vale of John Carleton of the Midde Temple, London, Gent. being a true description of that grand imposter, late a pretended Germane-lady.	Carleton, John, b. 1645?	1663 (1663)	Wing C586; ESTC R25966	46,002	53

just punishment inflicted on her by his Highness for this her unwarrantable presumption But I will not stand to arme my reason by way of defence to every loud Alarum she beats up against me in that most cursed and false Relation written in that book by her dictates it is better worded then beleived as all that read it do pass their Verdict and agree with me in this my short censure 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I have read it understood it and condemned it For I protest whosoever beleives and receives that book for truth in the Relation may as well nay better beleive that the Devil himself never told an untruth I will not therefore enlarge here nor stand to answer that innumerable and horrible company of new invented prodigious and execrable lyes which are inserted therein nor tell the world what wages was allowed to that ingenuous though Me●cin●y Pedant that wrot it for her and assisted her in contriving ●etting out those cursed untruths to the best advanatge in fa●●cious and politick method and style for let any person peruse the Book and you may often entrap him in C●n●radicting himself and in the impr●bability of the Na●●ation But you may see now the Devil and his Pimps work together It is said there that she would shortly-return homewards and I would advise her so to do for I know she will be wellcome And Pluto stands ready big with expectation to receive het and thinks her absence tedious for he lacks his Consort He would rejoyce to see her travelling in Duns Chariot but perhaps he may pe●mit her to Whore Errant-ys●● while that she may by her impudence be his famous Agent and ●●onicle he●self to be the lewdest Strumpet of these many ages and to that end she had best go to Wittenberg a pla●e in her pretended ●●ountry and Comence Bawd She is sufficiently beholding to ●eve al persons for thei Fees and Kisses and all civil persons are now truly sensible of the disgace that acc●ues by accompanying her who is a poo● prost●●at Cu●●zan For my part I am heartily sorry that such a defiled Creatu●e hath been so near related to me though now the Law of God and Natu●e hath Cancelled those Bonds I he●e declare to the Wo●●ld that I neither can or will assist her impudency or che●ish he● wickedness She saith she will own me till death dissolve the u●ion and I say I will own her to be a cursed infamous Strumpet and vagabond till a Haller dissolve the union between her execrable soul and polluted body And I will surrender all my right to her if I have any to him that will embrac● it Gratis For though I once loved the Traytor I ever did and shall hate the Treason And therefore think it not strange that I am so bitter against her in my writing and have upon the sight of her cursed Pamphlets added suc● invective but t●ue Epithites to the description of her in which upon the review of this uncomposed piece I did insert as Marginal notes by inte●liuing them For she was the Cause that moved my passion to this effect not only by that grand abuse she offered to me in acting but also by those scurulous and unt●ne Prints lately come forth by her order It grieved me very much that she doth abuse so many persons of great worth in those ignominious Pamphlets but they are well satisfied that her tongue is no slander She endeavoureth to ground a belief in the World that I have a great respect for her but over-powred and she will not seem to believe that I wrot the former sheet called my Replication because I did therein though very modestly strike upon the galled part of her Actions But I would have her know that both that sheet and this also I do and will own to be Legicimate be they disliked or approved I care not whether for as I am ambitious of no persons applause so I neither care for nor fear any persons rigorous censure especially in a matter of truth which by Truth its self you have nothing else herein inserted for I should and do scorne to own any thing by subscribing my name to it that I did not solely compose and compleat myself And if she moves me further she shall find I will let her blood in the right Vein and compleat the whole History of her and her actions which by my directions and order shall be brought to view I will if her impudence stirs further send her Companions enough 〈◊〉 Satyrs as she had better have no being then to feel the smart of their sharp wounding lashes But since the World shall be made acquainted with the truth of the late great noised ●umour I can more willingly put a quiem to all passi●ra ●e grief For swelling Passion made me to unfold My Grief which eased will be when 't is told And though I suffered so great an injury and abuse by her I freely forgive her and shall endeavour to forget both for Injuriarum ●●remedium est oblivio Oblivion is the best Corrasive for inju●●es But I will now take my Pen from Paper and I presume you will absolve my prolixity for I shall not willingly troub●e you again especially in this Tragical matter and manner But if ever hereafter I shall expose any thing of mine to view I shall endeavour to make you amends for this by sending somewhat to delight the eys and ears and tickle the fancy of every Spectator And therefore worthy Gentlemen and Ladies I hope for and beg a charitable construction that you will ballance all Venial Errors with my young experience and present discomposedness And If you seriously reflect on my real de lorable condition as being brought thereunto not by my own fault but by anothers u●heard of craft ●m made thus miserable I know it will warm ●our Souls to pity and Christianity will I presume oblidge you justly to help and assist me upon occasion I shall strive to retaliare your Courtesies goodness by my gratitude and ready service to you all to whose maturer discernments and Christian Judgments I here humbly offer my care for it is a maxim in Law Ne●o debet esse Judex in propria Causa No person ought to be Judg in his own Case I humbly conceive I may promise to my self a full Verdict and that you will find her Guilty and so clear me from any just concernes with such a monstrous Creature and though my Stars have not been very propitious to me things have succeded contrary to my expectation I will endeavour to fortifie my self against my present conflict and agonys and if once Heaven brings me out of this Labirinth which I heartily pray for I hope my joy and contentmt may arrive to that pass my discontents have brought me and may be freed from the anguish that at present possesseth me and that the Sunne-shine of Gods delightful Consolation may break through and for ever discipate the black Clouds of despaire and that I may not walk in Nubibus but openly and appear to show my hearty thanks and open soul which I wear Charactered in my brow to all judicious persons and my worthy Friends and my love even to my very Enemys and thus I leave you to him that made all things wishing and praying for Internal External and Eternal joy and prosperity to my Soveraign Lord the King and his Kingdoms and to the Loyal Subjects of this my Native Country and to my right noble and worthy Relations and to that Honourable right Noble and learned society whereof I am an unworthy member and to all those ingenious Gentlemen my friends and acquaintance therein which is the Ultimum Vale of a highly abused Christian and as it is well observed they are subject to evil whose vertuous life least deserves it but it is better to be passive and suffer then act●ve and do any injuriocs evil And here I cast Ancho being arrived to a wished end the happy Haven of my present desires Qui non est hodie Cras magis Valete Aptus erit AD MARIUM c.
