A95943	A vindication of Mr. Bryan Heyns from all the calumnies and reproaches cast upon him by the phanaticks together with a short relation of the present Presbyterian Plot, against the King and government.	Heyns, Bryan.	1682 (1682)	Wing V482; ESTC R18923	20,406	26

the King's Subjects thinking thereby to ingratiate himself with the Factious Party to the end his mendicant condition may be a little supported being he has shipwrack'd his rusty credit with the Royal Party already who have put Remora's to his pimping under-hand dealings and anticipated the clandestine designs of his Brethren in iniquity the Whigs against them And all his Allegations against Witnesses is only to palliate the flagitious Machinations he was a hatching against the King the innocent Queen the Duke of York the Duke of Ormond and all his Children of whom he told my self The Three Kingdoms would never flourish till they were all Cut off for they were all Drones that was his expression which sucked all the Honey the purer sort of Bees culled for said he the King with his Mistresses eats up all the Fat of the Land and my Lord of Ormond and his Sons have ingrossed into their own hands the best part of Ireland But said he I have almost done their work by my management of the Irish Witnesses And still to give a further testimonial of his zeal to the sinking Cause he incorporates himself with the Whigs and offers impudently in the Face of the Sun to sereen their disloyal Proceedings against their Prince in saying The Irish Witnesses are suborned to drop the Popish Plot and fix another upon the Protestants I would ask one question of Hetherington Whether he knows actually of his own knowledge any Irish Papists that ever wished His Majesty any harm If he knows any he ought to discover them that such pestiferous Members may be cut off by Justice if not 't is an unchristian Action to accuse an innocent People upon the bare Surmises of a few lecherous Irish rascally Priests who have renounced their Functions and violated their Vows with God to satisfie their Beastly Concupiscence with the Whores of London But Hetherington's main scope in spattering of the Irish Witnesses and herding himself with the Whigs is because he may one day have Reprisals in lieu of his own fictitious Lands upon my Lord of Ormond's estate when the Work is effected as the Phanatiques phrase it for they are still so inchanted that they believe the Cause will be still Vpish notwithstanding all opposition and this gratification will be granted him by the Republican Party of England and Ireland for his assidual and indefatigable care by endeavouring to extirpate the Family of the Stuarts and their Adherents and perhaps as I have heard him say be remunerated with the honour of being Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland so that you may see he aims at no small matter but resolves to follow the old saying He violandum est jús regnandi gratia violandum est But let Hetherington and the Factious learn that our Sovereign's great wisdom extends as far as His Regal Power and that His Royal and mature circumspection has and will obviate the preposterous designs of those Seditious Incendiaries of State of which His Majesty never merited the least Disloyalty or ill Thought unless it be in graciously pardoning of them their black Treasons and excerable Murder of the Royal Martyr His Father King Charles of blessed memory for which detestable and crying Sin they deserved a total extinguishment and deletion Amongst all the Divine Graces and Blessings bestowed upon that Sacred Prince one is That Handkerchiefs dipped in his innocent Blood ured very often with a touch thereof the Kings-Evil and this is a certain truth that his very Enemies cannot impugn or gain-say Truly I may say of those Blood-hound Regicides what the great Tertullian pronounced against the Sins of Sodom and Gourorrha that Impiet as illa ignium meruit imbres For certainly no man since the Creation to this day ever heard or read either in Sacred or Profane History that a King which had three Kingdoms devolved to Him by so many Ages and legal Successions received Crowned and Anointed by the common Suffrage of all His People having likewise a long while governed and impartially administred the Laws for divers Years to all His Subjects should be at length Tryed and after Sentenced to be Murdered by a Company of Rake-kennels and lewd Presbyterians Had His present Majesty served these Rascals after His Restauration as Alexander the Great did to the Phanician Slaves who assassinated their Masters and usurped the Government to hang them up all there would be no Plots this day to disturb the Nation Although the old Cavaliers and their Children grumble sometimes of their hard usage since His Majesties Restauration yet we will not suffer in Cromwel's Fellow-Rascals to spurn against our Prince but we will cover the earth with our slain Bodies rather than flinch to support and perpetuate the Rights of the most Serene and Ancientest Monarch Charles II. this day in the Universe and His lawful Heirs and Successors whose Ancestors were Kings of Scotland and Ireland Three hundred and odd Years before the Birth of Christ and this glorious Prince is the 11th King of his own Family as I can prove by an ancient History I have by me Nor will our Loyal hearts ever allow our Sanction of any spurious or besotted Faction to steer the Helm of that Hierarchical Series of Kings And if our present Sovereign were pleased to call to mind the Noble Actions of his Grandfather Henry IV. King of France who spared neither Civilities nor Caresses to Gentlemen who served Him well he could still find Friends enough to espouse His Royal Cause and easily allay the Pride of His Rebellious Subjects 'T is reported of that Heroick Prince Henry IV. that after he was Crowned King of France he was wont to say these obliging words to those that fought for him and faithfully served him That it was great reason they should partake of his Feast since they served so well at his Nuptials with France 'T is also recorded of the same Prince That his very Enemies the Papists had more confidence in his Word alone than in the Writings of others Thus the prudent man never walks but by ways strait and virtuous the cunning on the contrary by paths oblique and wicked The prudent cannot but be generous and good whil'st the other cannot be but base deceitful and unworthy To return to our purpose As for my part I call God to Witness There is no King in the world I love better than Charles II. nor no Government under the Sun I love so well as Kingly Government 'T is true I was discontented because my Father's Estate was given to others without the least colour of Justice and he in his old days miserable and in extream want he and his Ancestors were always Loyal to the Kings of England and the himself was a Prisoner whil'st His Majesty was in Exile for adhering to the Marquis of Clanricard His Majesties Lord-Deputy in Ireland And whereas 't is reported by ill-affected persons That his ancient Estate or what Lands he pretends too was but 40 l. per annum 't is the

falsest Lye that ever was spoke by any man For what he had in his own possession before the late Wars besides several Reversions that fell to him since by his Birth-right if he could have the benefit of them or any other of his Pretensions I will maintain is above 400 l. per annum at this instant If any questions the reality of this Assertion he may have an account by the Post from the Auditor-General's Office in Dublin where he shall see inrolled a Patent in Hughboy-Heyns of Leidigane his name and how he held his Lands of the Crown by Knights-Service This is no Ostentation or Vain-glory but what I am compelled to write by the Laws of Nature and common Justice to release my Family who can vie in Blood or Descent with any in Ireland though not in Estate or borrow'd Honour from the waspish tongues of those who studied with all amaritude to spatter me and my Ancestors for my Loyalty to my Prince Hetherington says in his scurrilous Pamphlet That the English Witnesses herded themselves with these tainted Irish Cattle I would have the Vagabond Beggar learn to distinguish betwixt his infamous Rascals which he picked out of all the Gaols in the North of Ireland and the ancient Irish Gentry who never were contaminated or reputed base until those Rake-kennels of Oliver's Fellow-Brewers Tinkers Coblers Sweep-Chimneys Carr-men and Jakes-men c. were all planted in Ireland These sordid and dunghil Mechanicks instructed and seminated amongst the Irish all Vice and Wickedness so that instead of the Virtue and good Nature that was in the ancient Natives these forementioned Ruscals have taught them Disobedience and all manner of Villany Sure I am the most profound and learned both in Gospel Law and History of the Noble English Nation and formerly no ill Sentiment of the ancient Irish when they celebrated their Encomiums to Posterity in their famous Writings witness my L. Cook in his 4th Institutes fol. 349. For-I have says he been informed by many of them that had Judicial places there and partly of mine own knowledge that there is no Nation in the Christian world that are greater lovers of Justice than they are which virtue must of necessity be accompanied with many others and besides they are descended of the ancient Britains and therefore the more endeared to us Likewise Cambden fol. 370. Patricii discipuli tantos progressus in re Christiana fecerunt ut subsequenti aetate Ribernia sanctorum Patria diceretur Scoticts in Hibernia Britannia Monachis nihil sanctius nihil eruditius fuerit in universam Europam sanctissimorum virorum examina miscrint Jocelinus Anglus in vita sancti Patricii fol. 191. Ita ut Hibernia speciali nomine insula sanctorum ubique terrdrum jure nominaretur paulo post it a ut exteras atque longinquas regiones illustrarent verbo ac religionis exemplo The extraordinary Merits and Loyalty of the Irish Nation was declared in open Parliament 27. July 1660. by our most Gracious Sovereign Charles II. touching the Act of Indempnity in these words I hope I need my nothing of Ireland and that they alone shall not be without the benefit of My Mercy they have shewed much Affection to Me abroad and you will have a care of my Honour and what I promised them And another time His Majesty is pleased to own their Loyalty in His Declaration in these words And in the first place We did and must always remember the great Affection a considerable party of that Nation expressed to Us during the time of Our being Beyond the Seas when with all Chearfuness and Obedience they received and submitted to Our Orders and betook themselves to that Service which We directed as most convenient and behooveful at that time to Us though attended with inconveniency enough to themselves Which demeanor of theirs cannot but be thought very worthy of Our Protection Justice and Favor Here I could quote the Authority of many other ancient Authors besides our present Sovereigns most Gracious and Royal words in extolling the Irish Nation but this taste shall suffice to let all rational men understand the good opinion the English had of the Irish in former Ages And that the defection of Virtue in some few Irish had its emanation from the English Whigs planted in Ireland since 1641 is most apparent and perspicuous by the said Authorities before cited Thus the Phanaticks condemn the Irish for their Loyalty for 't is a common saying with them That none will side with the King but a Rogue or a Papist Here you may see how they crucifie Virtue and countenance Vice they hold Loyalty a Crime and Treason worthy of Reward and Applause Such mungrel Rascals as Petherington have always scandalized the Irish Nation who understands neither Honour nor Learning or the Principles of a true Moralist that says Est act us fortitudinis more pro Patria 'T is the greatest Valor in the world to dye for the good of ones Countrey And although he breathed his first Air in Ireland he is like the Moths or Caterpillary that destroy that gives them their Being or like the Snake that would infect the Countrey-man and his whole house that saved his life a little before from perishing in the Snow There is no English Whig that maliciously reflects upon the transactions of the Irish if he will retrospect and ruminate seriously what intestine Wars and broils the Presbyterians created in these three Kingdoms and how their trayterous and murderous Actions of the Best of King and His Subjects renders them infamous and odious to God and man he can say but very little against the Irish I have seen a learned Treatise in Latine proving the necessity of that War raised by the Irish having begun it in their own defence to prevent the general ruine and destruction designed against the Kingdom and themselves by the beggarly Presbyterian Party that resolved to thrust them out of home and house for no other reason but because they were Papists Yet I will never vindicate any Subject that flies to Arms or to any manner of Hostile Commotion upon any specious pretences whatsoever without his Princes Commission or Power for according to St. Paul's Rule We must not commit evil that good may come thereof but we ought to submit in every thing to our Superiors and not be Judges of our own Cause The Irish Rebellion is more excusable than that of the English Whigs who had no colour to invade the Prerogatives of their Prince not Elective ad nutum populi but Successive by many Ages and that established by all the fundamental Laws of England And whosoever will but read that learned and pious Work Icon Basilikè of King Charles I. where he writes of the Rebellion of Ireland and seiriously balances the occasion of their raising in that Kingdom can never harbour such ill thoughts of the Irish as is spread abroad of them by their constant Enemies the Whigs
