A DIALOGUE BETWIXT PHILAUTUS AND TIMOTHEUS In Defence of Dr FVLLWOOD's LEGES ANGLIAE Against the Vindicator of Naked Truth Stiling himself PHIL. HICKERINGILL LONDON Printed for Rich. Royston Bookseller to His most Sacred MAJESTY 1681. TIMOTHEVS and PHILAVTVS CHAP. I. Of the Author's Name Phil. Hickeringill TImotheus Well met Philautus Philautus Why Philautus Tim. I know you call your self Phil. Hickeringill but that Dutoh-Hobgoblin name is so rugged and harsh in the mouth and so unsutable to the smoothness of your Vindication of Naked Truth that neither my self nor a Thousand others can endure it at the first time they heard it it brought a Curse with it and they wish they had never heard it since and are frightned at the very sound of it as if it were conjuring Indeed Hickeringill speaks ill and hears worse therefore as you have faced about and chang'd your countenance as to Religion or against it I thought it not amiss to change your name too Phil. How now Tim hast an itchy endeavour to be witty forsooth in Vindic. p. 35. spite of Nature and thy Stars enough of Hickeringill but why must Phil. be added to autus why Philautus thou thinkst thou hast a trick for that too Tim. To deal plainly with thee every body perceives that this Phil. Hickeringill is the same Person that lies prostrate under the name of Edmond at the foot of Naked Truth and it is known that Phil. and Edmond are all one that is Ned loves Hickeringill and Hickeringill is in love with himself and for this Reason I have made bold for the better sounds sake to call thee Philautus But prethee Phil. why art thou pleased with that throatling name Phil. Hickeringill is it not for the same reason good wits may jump Phil. Say nothing Tim and I will tell thee the naked truth and whether I thought of thy reason or not I am resolved upon good reason to love my self for I see little in the world that a Man should be fond of and but few that regard me as I deserve or merit my kindness Nor can I expect otherwise Plain dealing has few friends and that 's my Talent besides I have flown at all sorts of People Fift-Monarchists p. 35. Anabaptists Quakers Independents Presbyterians Papists and I trow in a very civil manner at our own Church-men too and thus have provoked them all against me and is it not time to take care of my self I had once some hopes of favour from the Church of England but now I despair for I saw little was to be got by her kindness and occurr'd her displeasure to speak the truth she hath always been a Step-Mother Vind p. 2. to the Author of the Naked Truth and he never had any thing from her but frowns and blows at best but a Bitt and a Knock and now alas she is in the Wane and not worth the courting I found her lately in the Frontispiece of a Book called Leges Angliae a pretended answer to Naked Truth pictured in a very low and weeping posture groaning under the Cross and I hate her in her very picture but seeing it is so sad with her I will pity and love my self therefore call me what thou wilt I am Phil. Hickeringill and will be so in spight of the World and the Church too CHAP. II. Of the Title Leges Angliae one Fullwood a libelling Pamphlet Tim. THou mentionest a Book called Leges Angliae prethee what 's thy opinion of it Phil. That Book I have not patience to speak of it it so scandalously handles my beloved Naked Truth it proves it to be all lies and then cloaths it with Bears-skins and all shapes of Villany and then exposeth it and hectors and beats and kills it and all that under the detestable name of my chief old enemy the Laws of England Many years agon these Laws of England had like to have done me a mischief and I could never endure the name of them since especially when the wind blows West-ward and I wonder at my heart how these Laws can give warrant to others in a Hectoring way to say ●ind p. 6. Come Clergyman deliver your Purse your Purse But with what Title his pitiful Pamphlet can challenge so swelling a Title shall be considered only by the sequel 〈…〉 2. Tim. Good Phil. why so angry the Title did thee a kindness Some think had it not been for this Title and a small Jest thou hadst had little to say to the whole Book and it seems to be true too because thou so often makest mention and makest so much advantage of them But to speak my mind a serious Book that consists chiefly of our Laws and Vindicates a legal Government by Arguments of express Laws may wear this Title of Leges Angliae modestly enough though I must tell thee I am well assured that that Title was put to the Book by another hand and not by the Authors who knew it not certainly till he saw it in Print He hath often said he did not like it because he had twit Mr. Cary for stiling his lesser Book The Law of England though that seems to be a greater Title But good Phil. why must thy Vindication carry so much folly and rage in the front of it Scornfully calling thy Adversary one Fullwood though he tells the world both his Name and his Title and Dignity If he be a Doctor in Divinity and a Dignitary in the Church or but an aged Spectacle-Divine thou shouldest have used him with less disdain if not with reverence Some think he honoured thee too much in condescending to take notice of and answer thy Book and dishonour'd himself Phil. Why did he not let Naked Truth alone then why did he write so libelling a Pamphlet against it Tim. I know thou hast betray'd thy wit as well as manners in calling a serious Book touching lawful government written by an Ancient D. D. a libelling Pamphlet But Phil. if he write that which is true and set his name to it how is his Book a Libel That thou against whom his Book is written wer 't guilty enough was evident because thou fled'st for it not daring to put thy name at first to thy Naked Truth as the Doctor doth to his Book I say thou didst thus fly for it and that out of a sense of guilt or great fear Fear what the men or the Leges Angliae thou hadst offended by thy Naked Truth would do with thee should they find thee out as thou often confessest in that Book Indeed when thou hadst got thy Friends about thee I mean the Rabble that like not the Laws of England and as thou thought'st secured thy self among thy Abettors then thou appearest and shewest thy self though sneakingly at the Tail of thy Book Seeing thy self then in the face of those moveable waters thou seemest to fall in love with and pride thy self as the Author of a Book so highly esteemed by the weak
