them to deposition or death This indeed is my inference which he neither doth nor can disprove since the Ancient Gaules had no other Kings but these their Reguli who might be put to death and no universall absolute Monarches as Bodine and all French Historians acknowledge Yet his greatest quarrell with me is behinde p. 4. for leaving out part of Bodines words with an c. Appendix p. 18. viz. But if the Prince be an absolute Soveraine as are the true Monarches of France c. Where the Kings themselves have the Soveraignty without all doubte or question not devided with their subjects In which c. I omitted these words of Spaine England Scotland Turkie Moscovy Tartary Persia Aethiopia India and of almost all the Kingdomes of Africk and Asia which interveene between where the Kings themselves have the soverainty and the true Monarches of France and for this omission though with an c. he cryes out thus Fye fye holy Mr. Prynne can your sanctified penne Volens vidensque wittingly and willingly abuse so perversly a learned French Lawyer and so pernitiously our gracious King of England But I pray you Sir what cause is there of such an exclamation for this omission with an c In that place of my Appendix I had nothing to doe with the Kings of England Spaine or any other Kingdomes there named by Bodine but with the Kings of France alone whom from p. 17. to 51. I prove by undeniable histories and Authorities to have been inferiour to their Kingdomes and Parliaments To recite all these other Kinges there upon this occasion whē I discoursed of the Fench kings alone had been an impertinency a Tautologie since I distinctly handled the severall jurisdictions of the Kings of Englād Spaine Scotland c. in their proper places refuted the error of Bodine though I truly cite his words that neither the Kings of Spaine nor France nor England nor Scotland are such absolute Soveraignes as he would make them The omission therefore of Spaine England and Scotland with an c. which pointed to not concealed them can no wayes be charged on me as a false quotation or as a witting or willing abuse of Bodines words as will appear by turning this accusation into arguments Master Prynne in reciting Bodines words concerning the Kings of France alone omits his mentioning of the Kings of Spaine England Scotland c. with an c. as this very Momus himselfe in his Censure omits Turkie Moscovy Tartary Persia c. rather to be ranked among absolute Tyrants than Kings Ergo he hath falsly quoted and wilfully perverted Bodine Master Prynne recites and refutes Bodines opinion of the absolute Soveraignty of those Kings in the objected and other places Ergo he misrecites Bodine If these be not most absurd Arguments and calumniating falshoods let the world judge In fine Mr. Prynne hath * frequently quoted Bodine and this very Chapter of his in sundry pages of his Bookes but misquoted him in no place whatsoever Ergo this Botcher hath misquoted misreported Mr. Prynne and must cry peccavi for it And for his odious subinference p. 4. it is his owne alone not mine This Champion having thus manfully played the slanderer in this one Quotation which he in vaine labours to prove false would willingly proceed to others p. 7. but he there ingeniously confesseth he wants his tooles to doe his worke and I have not quoth he the bookes cited by him Certainely if he wants his Books and the Books I cite to examine my quotations by it must needs be an impudent apparent slander in him to tax me of misquotations of those Authors he confesseth he never saw nor read the rather because he writes in the same page that my Quotation out of Speed seemeth somwhat amisse yet presently confesseth of himself in the same page I never saw it nor heard it till I read it in Mr. Prynnes Book and that he never read Mr. Speed How dares he then terme it a seeming Misquotation Is this man thinke you likely to refute or convince me of false Quotations who thus confesseth that he neither hath nor hath read nor heard of the Books and Passages which I cite * Si judicas cognosce was the Ancient rule I pray therefore get and read my quoted Authors hereafter before you presume to charge me with misquotations else all must censure you for the grossest slanderer that ever put pen to paper For the pretended Falshoods Paradoxes Absurdities and Absurd opinions he would fasten on me p. 8. to 14. they are most of them his owne misrecitals not my assertions and so farre as any of them are really mine my Pages whence they are transcribed will sufficiently manifest them to be neither Falshods Paradoxes Absurdities nor absurd opinions The Popery he would asperse me with page 14. 15. is easily wiped of For first both the text and Comment of Roomes-master peece is neither a Fiction nor pia fraus unlesse he will make it so in the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury Sir William Boswell Habernfield and the King himselfe under whose hands it is extant and hath been represented to the Parliament If this suffice not the Preface to the second Edition of Roomes-master peece will either satisfie or silence this Father of falshoods Secondly the visions and Revelations of King Edward the Confessor cited in my Remonstrance against Shipmoney p. 22. of one of the Monks of Clervaulx Opening of the great Seale p 5. 6. are not recited by Mr. Prynne as reall verityes or convincing argumēts against Shipmoney Lordly Bishops but onely de bene esse to manifest what opinion the Monks and Historians who record them had of Danegeld and Prelacy And Mr. Prynnes other Arguments Authorityes against Shipmony cited in that Remonstrance and against Lordly Prelates and Prelacy registred in his Vnbishoping of Timothy and Titus his Breviate Catalogue of Authours of all ages and Antypathy of the English Lordly Prelacy to Vnity and Monarchy are so sollid and Copious that no man hath hitherto attempted to returne the least answer to them nor indeed can doe it so that he needed not the helpe of Visions Revelations or popish pious Frauds to satisfy or delude his Readers in these points debated by him For the other pretended points of Popery perverting of the Scripture of Lawes Treasons and betraying of the Cause they are so abundantly answered refuted in my Books at large in the pages quoted by this Authour that I shall wholly appeale to them the indifferent perusers of them both for my Purgation and Justification in all particulars which books having both the speciall licenced good Approbation of the high Court of Parliament and of thousands of all sorts both at home and beyond the Seas who have highly approved them and recieved good satisfaction by them in the present unhappy controverted differences that distract us need no further Apology against this Namelesse Slanderer and Depraver to whom I onely wish more verity honesty ingenuity for the future then he hath here discovered for the present FINIS Mr. Pryn.

THE FALSITIES AND FORGERIES OF THE ANONYMOUS AUthor of a late Pamphlet supposed to be Printed at Oxford but in truth at London 1644. INTITULED The Fallacies of Mr. William Prynne discovered and confuted in a short View of his Books intituled The Soveraignty of Parliaments the Opening of the great Seale c. Wherein the Calumnies and Forgeries of this unknowne Author in charging Mr. Prynne with false Quotations Calumniating Falshoods wresting of the Scriptures points of Popery grosse absurdityes meere contradictions hainous Treasons plain betraying of the Cause not one of which is in the least degree made good by the Calumniator are succinctly answered refuted By William Prynne of Lincolnes Inne Esquire PROVERBS 12. 19. The Lip of truth shall be established for ever but a lying tongue is but for a moment Printed at LONDON for Michael Sparke Senior 1644. THE FALSITYES AND FORGERIES OF AN Anonymus Author IT is an easy matter for any person of a brazen face and seared Conscience to be a slanderer and by a fallacious misreciteing perverting dismembring other mens works to become a seeming Refuter of them The fairest natural or artificiall Bodies may soon be metamorphozed into the most misshapen Monsters if torne into confused fragments and then patched up together into a disorderly Chaos where all the parts and members shall be dislocated disunited confounded and put into Hotch-Potch This cobling kinde of Artifice hath that Botcher used who composed the Pamphlet intituled The Fallacies of Mr. William Prynne discovered and refuted who instead of discovering and refuting any Fallacies or Falsities of Mr. Prynnes in an orderly or Scolasticall manner hath taken much unnecessary paines to cull out here and there a word or line out of his wrightings on severall subjects and then patched them up together into inferences and arguments of his owne forging fighting onely with his owne shaddow and mangling misreporting perverting all the passages he recites as the Reader may at first view discerne instead of answering or refuting any thing which he hath written Wherefore I shall desire the ingenious Reader only seriously to peruse the severall Quotations this Cobler hath botched together in my Bookes themselves as they are there urged applyed connected with the precedent and subsequent discourses to which they have relation and then the Fallacies Falsities and Calumnies of this Anonymous Patcher who is so penurious of matter substance that he produceth not one text or Author of his owne will be so apparently discovered as they will need no further Refutation This is not mine owne solitary opinion but the judgement of other intelligent men who have read this Pamphlet to which I was minded to give no answer as unworthy anything but contempt Yet being desired by some friends to reply some-what to it least this Champion should deeme his Patched Fardle irrefragable and overmuch abuse the Reader and my selfe with his slanderous falshoods I shall returne no other answer to his charge of Calumniating falshoods wresting of the scriptures Points of Popery grosse absurdities meere contradictions hainous Treasons and plaine betraying of the Cause but onely this that the Pamphletter is most grosly mistaken and hath most falsly aspersed me in all these particulers as the mangled pages of my books which he recites by fragments will manifest to all who shall doe me so much justice as to appeale unto and seriously peruse them without diminution or prejudice There are onely two or three more considerable Calumnies he would fix upon me that need some answer and in answering them alone you may clearely discover both the palpable Falsities Forgeries Fallacies of this Slanderer who is ashamed to set his name to his shamefull worke The first and principall charge against me is false Quotations witnesse the title page Wherein is laid open his false quotations c. p. 2. to 9. he doth deliver in an heavy imputation in the plurall nūber of false quotations Yet when he brings in his Catalogue of them among those thousand quotatiōs I have produced in my wrightings he can charge me but with one no more p. 3. I will not saith he undertake to examine his false Quotations being deterred by their magnitude and multitude I will produce but One Quotation A strange kind of Calumny to charge me in the Title and Book with a magnitude and multitude of false quotations and yet to be able to instance but in one alone But this one is at Leonem ●a rare one Ex ungue Leonem Guesse at the Author by this example It is out of Bodine that as he stileth him Learned French Lawyer and Statesman De Repub. l. 2. c. 1. p. 222. Bodine saith it alwayes hath and shall be lawfull for subjects to take wicked Princes out of the way Can a sentence be quoted more plaine and full against our cause and for their cause then this of Bodine But if Bodine speakes no such thing but more plainly and fully for our cause against their cause what may wee thinke of Mr. Prynne the quoter c. First In the place quoted l. 2. c. 1. there are no such words c. So he p. 3 Here is a great cry indeed but little wool for in the very same page we have confitentem reum in these most positive termes Secondly I writes he confesse the words quoted are in the fifth chapter of the 2 book and that in page 222. which I quoted where then is the false quotation The words are there but not in the first but fifth Chapter of the second Book what then they are in the same Booke and Page I quoted but the Printer printed the first chapter instead of the fifth in some Coppies Contrary to my Written Coppie and Quotations in Print in other Coppies and places Ergo my Quoquotation is false Grant this yet it is not false neither in the matter page booke but Chapter onely which the Printer not I mistooke Surely a very grand offence if reduced into a Logicall Argument The Printer misprinted the chapter in some coppies But Mr. Prynne misquoted not the words booke page nor chapter of Bodine in any kind Ergo he is guilty of a multitude of false quotations at least of one at Leonem but a rare one So he disputes A rare one indeed such as was never heard of in the world before a true Quotation in every particle yet slandered for a false one which gives me just occasion to repay him with his owne coyne p. 3. Ex ungue Leonem guesse at the truth of this Author by this example the sole misquotation he chargeth me with Yea but he subjoynes p. 3. Note what a faire inference Mr. Prynne here maketh These Reguli or little Kings of the Cities of the Gaules might be put to death by the Nobility to which they were subject Appē p. 17. So Bodine by whose words it is cleare that the Ancient Kings of France were inferiour in jurisdiction to their whole Kingdomes and Parliaments yea censurable by
