Cheswell and she liv'd in Clarkenwell and died in Bridewell and so Sirs farewel I 'll tell you old Nol's Fidler was not the only Man that would fiddle for Money To the sober and truly conscientious Jacobites for such there are tho deluded ones I Know you have been impos'd on in the two last Reigns by designing Clergymen and Statesmen about Non-resistance and you call'd this New Turcism Old Christianity I have compassion on you because I once imbib'd your Notions and was a great pleader for them twenty Years since hearing and reading so many Discourses about it But the Political Catechism first made me at a stand and greater Writers fully convinced after Some of you appeared at first in the Cause of K. William and rejoiced for the Successes he had when you knew what King James did to some of you and intended to do to all But now they seem to repent and plead that of the Wise Man Oppression maketh wise Men mad when some of us answered them that Oppression rather then made mad Men wise I know you are not infected with Atheism who when you urge the Instance of Abraham the twelve Patriarchs the deliverance of Israel out of Egypt through the Red Sea and Wilderness into Canaan The Miracles and Resurrection of Christ to prove the Truth of their Religion shall meck and say to this or the like effect So we read how Saturn swallowed up a Stone given by Ops his Wife instead of Jupiter and afterwards by a Drink she gave him vomited up his two Sons Neptune and Pluto How Bacchus was taken out of Jupiter's Thigh and therefore called Bimater How when Juno was jealous of Lecherous Jove she made Argus to watch him who had Eyes before and behind The old Fornicator made Mercury play him asleep and then slew him for which Juno turn'd Argus into a Peacock That Mercury was the Messenger of the Gods the God of Eloquence Physicians and Thieves too by his cunning stealing Sheep from Apollo and was the guider of Souls to Hell Mereuri foecunde Nepos Atlantis c. Horace He hath all this in few words And this Infection they got by reading these Fables monstrous vile Stories in Schools when young against which practice Mr. Norris hath well written in his Conduct of Humane Life as others before him How many of you loath the Name of Roger L'Estrange who led you hoodwink'd to the Gates of Rome Beware of all Scepticks among you who ridicule Religion as if nothing certain Would you disregard History on any such Pretences I have often thought of the various Opinions about Cesar why so call'd Leigh speaks of Some said from Caesarie his Bush of Hair with which he was born Some a cecis oculis from his gray Eyes Some a ceso Elephanto because he flew an Elephant Some ceso matris utero because they say he was ript out of his Mother's Belly the like is said of Edward the Sixth but question'd by Dr. Burnet in his History of the Reformation when it may be after all it is a Primitive word So may 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 be for ought I know for all what is said about its derivation will it follow the History of Caesar is therefore a Fable and that there is no God Rochester Oldham or such vile Poems shall be read more than Scripture Would all did as little care for the former as he himself before he died who caused them to be burnt before him or as the pious wise Non-conforming Father of the latter whom I knew who cares not to see the Book or hear of it Let them get but a little Story as of the Wilde Poet and Lilly the Astrologer when C. Love was beheaded in a terrible day of Thunder Lightning c. Wilde made the Heavens put on mourning to weep and groan Lilly to shoot off his Cannons for joy such a Traytor 's Head was upon the Block they laught at Providence I know to your commendation you love the Persons Piety and Books of holy Bishop Vsher Bp Hall Mr. Bolton and other great Men tho accounted Puritanical You that will not be laught out of your Health nor Money be not so out of Religion good Company or Heaven I cannot but value you being conscientious Non-jurors more than such as have complied only for preventing Trouble or getting Preferment Most of them are content with the saving Conformity such as Mr. L. of Exon c. some for getting Conformity such as Dean S. and others I pray you Brethren for I refuse not yet so to call you as true serious Protestants Make it your daily Work herein to exercise your selves to have Consciences void of Offence towards God and towards Man So if any of you need my Charity you should have it whilst not Plotters and live peaceable Men. You say of the Jurors they are a pack of Knaves and they say of the Non-jurors they are a pack of Fools and perhaps both say true But however it is better be a Fool than a Knave at any time Had all the Non-resisters been Non-jurors Nonconformists had been long ago in our publick Churches then had the King seen no longer his Enemies preferr'd and Friends supptest but his Enemies supprest and Friends preferr'd Would in any Dialogue between Satan and Sherlock the Devil had never helpt him to a rotten distinction of a Providential King or a King de Facto only after Dr. Sanderson which still made the best of Kings a Usurper but got him preferment and that was enough I do believe on long and close observation that there is not one Dissenter to five but is guilty either of notorious Covetousness which is idolatry or of an implacable irreconcileable unforgiving Spirit which Christ makes a certain sign of not being forgiven by God or of officious Lies to further Trade which is not consistent with common Honesty much less Christian Piety or secret Drunkenness if not Uncleanness and such cannot inherit the Kingdom of God or of secret Insidelity which makes them so cold in works of Piety and Charity and that that Man knows them not who will always trust them because they are Dissenters Yet I do as firmly and heardily and impartially believe that where there is one Man in the Church of England that hath gotten above these reigning Lusts there are ten Dissenters that have so done and this I think on as long and close observation of them every where as of the Dissenters And I do also believe that where one Jacobite is serious and upright ten Churchmen are so You cannot but know that your Gracious Sovereign when Duke of York ever hated an Englishman and said England was a good Country if new peopled And that if he thought he had one spoonful of English Blood running in his Veins he would not be quiet till he had let it out But no wise Man that observ'd times and seasons believ'd he had any there His Brother by the Mother might be honestly begotten
