to inthrone the Good Old Cause without those mighty Engins of Popular Pamphlets and Parliaments and therefore pray proceed in your methods of Propagation for that is the utmost we can hope for in this Age. Ph. Well then I consider that the Cause can never be maintain'd by meer Mechanicks and should we send our Youth to Universities they would be taught Obedience to Statutes and wear off the Natural Abhorrence of white Linnen and Liturgy and thus being disciplin'd in those Seraglio's they would become a kind of Janisaries and be taught to destroy that Religion into which they were Born and this we have found by fatal experiments And therefore to prevent this mischief we have erected our Private Gymnasia and in these Seminaries we Read to our Youth the Politicks and Divinity of Geneva here they are taught the Natural Philosophy and all the Liberal Arts and Sciences of Sedition and Rebellion These Gymnasia are our Spiritual Artillery-Grounds here my Veterane Champions instruct their Young Volunteers in the management of Tongue and Face how to fire a Mouth-granado how to beat all the Points of War upon the Pulpit-drum when to lye in Ambuscade and when to raise their Batteries against the Government how to Vndermine a Throne and Sap the walls of a Cathedral Po. This Essential Policy for neither Popery nor Presbytery can be Propagated without Seminaries and therefore I suppose the design of your Gymnasia was borrowed from Doway and St. Omers which places my Cardinal Bentivoglio ingeniously stiles Military Stations where my Spiritual Souldiery are disciplin'd in the Arts of Holy War and are drawn out from thence to defend the Catholick Cause in England Now you and I may every year send forth our several Detachments from these Spiritual Garrisons and so we may beleaguer the Church of England on Both-sides the only fear is that Lewis should beat up our Quarters in Flanders and Charles should dismantle your Cittadels in England Ph. Besides these Artillery-Companies I have a Flying Squadron of Neutral Clergy quarter'd within the Lines of the Church of England and these by their whispers in the Desk and Noise in the Pulpit do me more service in the Church than all my Doctors in the Synagogue for you know one piece of Ordnance within the Ship whose mouth is directed to the keel if it be well charg'd and fir'd must do more fatal Execution than a thousand shot at two mile distance These men teach their people to clamour against the Canonical Clergy and the Heights of Hierarchy and dispose them for an easie Compliance to the Model of Geneva and therefore upon the first revolution they and their whole Brigades will come over to our Triumphant Banners These men Resemble that Asian Sect which the Turks call the Raphasis who are neither Zealous Musselmen nor devout Christians but according as their humour and Interest move them can Worship either Christ or Mahomet and go indifferently in Pilgrimage to Meccha or Jerusalem Po. These Ecclesiastick Neuters and Lay-trimmers must do you excellent Service and therefore I advise you to Court and admire these men as the Greater Saints and Wiser Subjects for they must be Zealous Loyallists who uphold the Height and Honour of a Government but men of Cold and Trimming Tempers will betray it with Indifferency and Moderation and look upon its Ruine with half a smile What were they who ruin'd my Authority in England in the days of Henry the Eighth but Trimming Papists What were my Gibellines that shaked the Papacy in the Thirteenth Century but Prudential Catholicks And those Bishops in the Councel of Constance and the Basilisks of Basil who usurp't the Prerogative of deposing Popes and Decreed Me Inferior to a General Councel were all Romish Trimmers and therefore why should not the Church of England suffer by Trimmers as well as the Church of Rome Ph. Sir Let me alone to make my advantage of these mens Tempers But to proceed My most Infallible art to continue the Reputation of the Good Old Cause is the Eminency of a Politick Sanctity and Si vis fallere Plebem finge Deos is as good Latin in England as ever it was at Rome Po. Pray Let me know wherein your Sanctity consists Ph. In Sabboths and Sobriety for as for Faith That relates to things not seen and is a Virtue of it self Invisible Obedience to Superiors is meer Human Courtship and Slavery and therefore doth not become the Privilege and Freedom of Saints Meekness Humility and Charity are all but Good Nature But to be Sober and keep a Sabboth are the most Popular signs of Grace and Sanctity Po. This is as gross a Cheat as the Tears and Bleeding of a Romish Image for if Sobriety be the Grand Essential of Religion Mahomet was a diviner Prophet than Jesus for he was so far from Turning Water into Wine that his Alcoran has Turn'd Wine into Water and not only denied his Disciples the whole Firkins but doth not allow them the juyce of one single Grape And if to keep a Sabboth be the Great Character of a Saint the Jew is as much a Christian as you Ph. Alass this is too fine and Metaphysical for the Pia Maters of the Unthinking Crowd and notwithstanding these reasons the Cheat is popular and must prevail a Stanch and demure Assassin will pass for a greater Saint in the opinion of the Vulgus than a Damning Carowsing Cavalier and he who like the Pharisee can spend the whole Sabboth in Synagogues and Long-prayers may Plot against Caesar and Rob Widows Houses for six days after and yet keep the Reputation of a Saint Po. I know that a Reserv'd soberness must command the Peoples Veneration but I most admire how you can Impose upon them that Melancholy Imposture of Sabbatizing Your Turkish Brethren when the Prayers of their Mosques are ended can upon their Sabboth return to their common business without the least charge of Profanation The Jews in Barbary after their devotions of the Synagogue do spend the rest of their Sabboth in the utmost Gaiety and briskest festivity Your Dutch Brethren make no more scruple of Taverns or Tables upon a Sunday than they did in burning the ships at Chattam The whole Catholick Church did never look upon the Sunday as a Jewish Sabboth but a Christian Festival indeed they always took care for the Solemnities of publick Religion but when those Devotions of the day were ended it did never forbid any Innocent Mirth or diversion but thought that Agreeable to so great a fesival Your ancient Canons under King Edgar did enjoyn that upon the Sunday all people should abstain from Trade or Merchandize they thought there was too much busie Care and Uneasiness in those affairs to consist with the chearful diversions of a Festival and it was wisely provided by the Law of Canutus that no Criminal should be put to death upon the Lords day for such Executions of Justice were Acts and Spectacles
the Publick Devotions of the Sunday be duly performed no man can offend by such diversions But tho' you use this argument for Popular seducement yet this is not your Rule of Practice No question but to Pray and Worship God is far more Religious than to Shed Blood but yet you forgot this Divinity at the Battel of Edg-hill and made no scruple of Murder and Rebellion tho' it was upon that day which you call the Sabbath For Subjects to make Prayers and Supplications for Kings and all in Authority and to live a Quiet life in all Godliness and Honesty and to leave it to the Lord of the whole world to influence the minds of Princes and to dispose of their persons and Crowns no question but this is far more Religious than to usurp the Divine Prerogative and set up whom we fancy and pull down what Prince we please but yet you and I don't think our selves obliged to this height of Perfection But how did you resent the September Thanksgiving Ph. Ah! Sir it was to me a more melancholy day than the Parliament-fast in the Popish Plot. Po. The appointing that Thanksgiving upon a Sunday was in my opinion a Politick design of the English Court to cure the Nation of that sullen distemper of Sabbatizing by that cunning Essay of Mirth and Dominical Triumph Ph. I declam'd against those prophane Bonefires as Sacrifices to Moloch and making the Children pass through the fire The Author of the Practice of Piety hath recorded so many remarks of divine Vengeance upon Sabbath-breakers that I did hope those unhallow'd fires would have made some Cities like unto Sodom and Gomorrah and left some Towns in Ashes I did expect that the Gunpowder would have Sabbatized and would not have been so Diabolical as to have flasht into Fire and Brimstone However I thought the Cannons might have prov'd like the fiery Furnace and have destroyed those men who kindled the Flame But those Triumphing Prophanations being not revenged by any fire or Thunderbolts from Heaven I have lost my argument from Providence and the Tories will fancy that the fire and smoak of that day was a kind of Incense and Burnt-offering Po. I am afraid that the English Nation will become so wise and Ingenious as to see through this Cheat and recover their ancient Freedom and Generosity and the want of Puritanick Scruples will be a mighty disadvantage to the Cause Ph. I grant that the Supererrogating Superstition of the Sabbath is the Principal Foundation of Puritanisme but I am secure of this advantage for the Church of England it self does contribute to this delusion for tho' Paul tell us that the Ministration written in Stone is done away yet Moses is read every Sabbath day in the English Churches as well as in the Jewish Synagogues and when the Minister as if he came just from Mount Horeb proclaims with a loud voice Remember thou keepest holy the Sabbath day it is impossible the people should forget to Sabbatize and by this frequent Repetition of the Fourth Commandment the word Sabbath must be continued in its popular vogue and Sunday will be thought Profane and Paganish and hence it is that not only my Disciples but the undiscerning Proselytes of the Church of England do commonly stile the Lords day the Sabbath day and do mistake it for the very Sabbath in the Fourth Commandment Po. I see the Church of England was resolved to have the Reformation according to Law and after the Patern of the Mount but I wonder they are not asham'd to Charge me with the Doctrine of Equivocation when they themselves do every Sunday Equivocate both with God and Man For the people are enjoyn'd in express terms to observe the Jewish Sanction of the Sabbath and to keep Holy the Seventh day and yet all this time the First day of the Week is only Intended and when that Law of the Sabbath is fully pronounc't the people are taught to Pray Lord have mercy upon us and incline our hearts to keep THIS Law So that the best sence which can be put upon that mistaken Ejaculation is this Lord we pray thee to give us grace to keep the Seventh day but thou knowest we mean the first Ph. My Rabbi's tell me that the Ten Commandments being a Peculiar Sanction to the Jews were never received into any ancient Liturgy of the Greek or Latin Churches but the inserting them into the English Service was a very Fortunate Innovation and I shall improve the advantage for the Church of England is now under an inextricable Dilemma if they continue this Mosaical Sanction as part of their Christian Service it must perpetuate the humor of Judaizing If they should alter or expunge the Laws of Moses it would cause such Popular Outcries that they dare not adventure the consequence It is the opinion of some that the Evangelical Beatitudes were designed to answer the Ten Commandments and therefore like them were delivered from the Mount But yet if the Convocation should place those Beatitudes and the whole Pandect of Christian Laws in the room of the Two Tables it would not amount to popular Satisfaction for the Common people have as much if not more veneration for Moses than they have for Christ for they do not murmur against the Pictures of Moses and Aaron tho' expos'd in their holy places but if these two Jewish Saints were removed and the Pictures of Christ and his Apostles introduced into Churches the people would clamour against the change as rank Popery Po. Well you have abundantly convinc't me that a Judaizing Puritanisme must continue in England as long as the Ten Commandments are continued in the Common-Prayer-Book but have you no other Stratagem to propogate the Good Old Cause Ph. Truly at present I have no more in prospect but only the hopes of a Toleration to have our Religious exercises confin'd to Private Families is like the restraint of Simple Marriage and will never propagate with expedition but a Toleration is a kind of Spiritual Polygamy and if I can once again but espouse the Teeming Crowds we shall Multiply like Jews and bring forth Captains of Fifties and Captains of Hundreds and Captains of Thousands Po. If ever you have an Indulgence you must thank Rome for the favour but you can never expect it upon the account of your own Merit for all your Plots and Associations your Insolencies and Conspiracies are dated from the Last Indulgence and tho' the King might forget that you denied his Father the favour of his own Chaplains yet he can't but remember how you abused his Grace and what where the mischiefs of the Late Toleration and therefore I am afraid you will be deceiv'd in the hopes of a Second Indulgence Ph. To give the King his due he is a Prince of great Humanity and good Nature and his anger being appeas'd by a few bloody Sacrifices I hope he may be persuaded that a freedom of Conscience in matters of Religion
the Bench for a Million of Crowns for then I had lost all hopes of the Royal Blood and eternally ruined my whole interest in England I c â—nfess my continued Intrigues for Indulgence and all the softer methods of insinuation to propagate my Religion but as for those daring adventures of Treason and Regicide they are All your own and therefore I declare in spight of Satan and Salamanca that I knew no more of a Plot against the Life of the King then the Groaning-board Ph. Alas Sir you never yet had an Act of Oblivion and therefore your Parisian and Irish Massacres your Smithfield Fires and your Gunpowder Treason though acted long since are more fresh in memory than my late Murder of Charles the First and if I Swear you Guilty all the Tongues of Men and Angels can't perswade the people that you are Pope INNOCENT Po. Well I do hope that Time or the Gallows will give you Grace to confess the Cheat in the mean time I must tell you that if you had charged me with a Plot of any Honourable contrivance or plausible Perjury I should have pardoned such a meritorious forgery but to bring me upon the Stage in a Fools-coat and Cap to make my Nobles and Priests to act the parts of Bedlams this was a Sham and Effrontery that must be resented You know that the Court of Rome hath been more famous for Policy than Divinity and I have by finess and artifice ruined more Kings than ever you knew and can it be reconciled to common Reason or Interest that we should trust the Arcana of our Roman Empire and those Sacred endearments of Lives and Fortunes to the Mercy and Management of a Company of Banditi Renegadoes and Lazarillo's whose Iniquity and Indigence must certainly betray us Had you told the people that there was a mighty Spanish Armada seen at Anchor on Salisbury Plaines it had been as probable a Romance as your Forty Thousand Pilgrims from Spain And as for the Murder of Sir E.B.G. It fell out unluckily the laying of the Scene in Somerset-house for it looks a little odly that the Thames gliding by the walls of that Palace the Murderers of that unfortunate Gentleman should not in that Critical juncture have endeavoured an eternal concealment of the Murder especially there being at hand so easie and so safe a conveyance to the Thames where with less weight than a Milstone he might have been sunk 'till Dooms-day but the overseeing this ready advantage and the exposing his Body above ground nigh the passage to an Imperial City look'd like Frenzy beyond all the extravagancies and costacies of Bedlam you might as well have reported that I had cut my own Throat or leapt off the Monument And it is a miracle to me how you could gain a belief of so wonderful a Proceeding Ph. Why Sir the very word Pope is Enchantment and hath a prodigious power of Infatuation upon the people of England For suppose I should Invent a Plot as dark and confused as the first Chaos whose Monstrosities could out-do all the Fables of Talmud and Alcoran Allow me but the Harangues of a Presbyterian One-and-Forty-Parliament to Eccho the noise of a Popish Plot and the People would believe it as great a Truth as the Pharisees Conspiracy against Jesus but to conclude this Sir I spoke the Prologue to the Popish Plot before the Parliament at Westminster And at Oxford the King unhappily spoke the Epilogue and so FINIS and FITS-HARRIS Po. But Brother you know that the Good Old Cause which is our Common Interest amounts to no less than a Supremacy over all the Kings of the Earth and that is so Sweet and Glorious a Sovereignty that I hope you will never give over your designs for That fift Monarchy or Kingdom of Christ as you wisely phrase it Ph. Never suspect it my zeal is too warm and obstinate to be discouraged by a Disappointment and as long as my Numbers can merit the name of Legion or Association so long I will have the grace to persevere and therefore having shed a little blood by a falsifying blow but missing my chief aim in the Popish Plot I still pursued the same design only shifting the Scene from Rome to Geneva And now enter Anthony and the Giant Ferguson with Six Trumpeters attended with Forty brave Sons of Anak Arm'd with Sword and Blunderbus followed by a mighty train tyed together with Green Ribbands Now Sir you know that the Saints have diversity of Gifts and difference in Operation My Presbyterian was for destroying the King after the English fashion by the more generous and Religious procedure of a Civil War or the Popular Authority of a High Court of Justice My Independent Zelots were for Killing the King Alamode de France and like your St. Clement and Raviliac resolved upon the surest and shortest method of Assassination Your Jesuit Mariana and My Junius Brutus have resolved the Case that if a Prince invades our Religious Rights or Civil Properties he is by your Divinity and Mine decreed a Tyrant And then we are agreed on both sides that a Tyrant is a State-Behemoth and to kill such a Beast of Prey is not only Justice but Merit What Sainted our George but the killing of a Dragon and when David slew the Lion and the Bear and cut off the head of the Uncircumcised Philistine he was a Hero but no Assassin Po. I grant that if a Prince affront our humour or Interest we have an ancient privilege to censure him for an Her â—tick or a Tyrant But in this Age I dare not own the Consequence of Assassination not that this Modesty proceeds from any nicety of Conscience but Policy and Interest oblige me to dissemble that Grim Divinity And whatever you pretend I know the Duke hath a greater Endearment for his Brother than he hath for the Pope and I do easily foresee that if the King should fall by the hand of a Papist the Duke would in abhorrence of the Fact declare himself a Protestant nothing would appease his revenging mind but a Massacre of the Papists in England or the Ashes of Rome Indeed if I were again Lord Paramount of Christendom and had Crowns for Styrrups and could mount my horse upon the back of Kings as formerly I have done Or if my Numbers in England were as great as yours I should then no more scruple the hard words of Association or Assassination than you do but in my present Circumstances I can only dance in a Court-Mask with Caress and Complaisance But I must leave You to Act the rougher Scenes of Tragedy Ph. Nay I am satisfied that your present temper is but Politick dissimulation for I am certain as long as you are Pope you must be of my opinion in the matter of Princes and so long I will own you for a Brother But if ever you dwindle into a Bishop of Rome and an Apostolick slavery to Crowns Imperial I shall hate your Episcopacy
but I did then interpret that notable accident to a contrary Sense and told you that it might rather indicate that Charles the Second was Born to revenge the Blood of the First and now I believe you will find me a truer Prophet than your dear Mahomet and be made sensible of my Infallibility truly Brother I begin to fear that Monarchy will at last prove more jure divino than you and I. But notwithstanding your droll upon the Throng of Addressers yet I look upon that proceeding as a very Politick Stratagem for they have rendred the King Great and Formidable and have firmly establisht that Church which you and I have laboured to destroy you may remember that your flourishing Address to Oliver in LIII did help to make him as great as the Mogul for those Magnificent Strains and Titles awed the people into as great an opinion of Cromwell as if he had been Brother to the Sun Kinsman to the Moon and Cozen German to the Stars and therefore sure this publick artifice of Popular Addresses must have as Glorious an effect upon a lawful Prince as it had in the Case of an Usurper for I am afraid the King hath Listed more men by the Rolls of Addresses than ever you did by the Musters of Petitions Ph. Give me once more but a Rampant and Sitting-house of Commons and I will not value all the ranting Addresses of England for many of those men who now adore the King as the Pagans did their Jupiter would then Worship our God Mercurius and fall down before the chief Speaker of the People I know several in the List of Addressers who inserted their names in a meer Trimming compliance to Tantivy Times but if ever occasion serves will with more chearfulness subscribe a Petition for a Parliament than ever they did an Address to the King And besides there are many of these promising Addressers who are men of so little and narrow Souls that they value their Blood and their Gold at the same rate and would not part with three Drops of the one nor three Scruples of the other to save the King and his Three Crowns and what an empty Complement is the promise of Lives and Fortunes from Cowards and Misers But I will grant that there are vast numbers of Addressers who are men of Resolution and such Simplicity of Conscience as to think themselves obliged by their promise to Sacrifice both Men and Money in defence of the King but suppose we had dispatched the King and the Duke at the Rye and there had been no right Heir to the Crown within the compass of the four Seas then all the Addresses would have been Impertinent extravagancies for you know that he who destroys the King dissolves the whole Militia and in this Case the Addressers would have demurred upon Punctilio's of Law and would not have dared to beat a Drum and Rendesvouz'd without Commission but by virtue of our Covenant and Association we should have had the grace to have taken Arms and embodied without and against Authority and thus in that Critical Interregnum we would have possess 't our selves of the Kingdom and Massacred the Divided Addressers before ever they could have agreed upon a method of defence Po. I confess this would have been a very difficult dilemma especially if you had nois'd it for a Popish Plot for if you had reported that the Assassins were Papists that rumour would have amuzed the Addressers and so alarm'd the Vulgus that you might have effected your designs before the discovery of the Cheat. Ph. You may be sure we would have used that customary Artifice Po. But upon further Consideration I fancy that the Addressers having engag'd in defence of the Monarchy and Lineal Succession and knowing their Lives and Fortunes were at Stake in such a desperate Crisis would have had the wisdom to Arm and Unite and secured their respective Counties 'till the quiet Inauguration of the next Successor and tho' this proceeding had been Illegal yet they should have hoped that the Merit of the Service would have pleaded their Impunity You know that in the Hurricane of the Popish Plot the Commons resolved that if the King had been Assassinated they would have revenged his Blood with a Massacre of all the Papists in England and now your Conspiracy is so notorious that should the King dye by Violence the Vengeance might fall upon your own heads and Enraged Addressers would cry in your own Language Down with them Root and Branch Ph. Indeed if it could be supposed that ever the Cavaliers could be wise and resolute I must despair but oh that London were as nigh Constantinople as Larissa I would soon persuade my Turkish Brethren to take the Covenant and Court the Sultan into the Association I would soon send Charles to visit the Seraglio and the Duke to the Dardanels Pauls should be a Mosquee and brave Ferguson a Mufti Po. But can it be reconciled to any Christian pretensions to make a League with Infidels Ph. Why did not your most Christian King make a League with the most Turkish Solyman against Charles the Fifth and why might not I by the same Christian Policy make an Alliance with the Turk against Charles the Second does not the Turk frequently confederate with Christians to serve the Ottoman Interest and I have heard of a Pope who made a League with the Devil to gratify his Romish Ambition and why should a True Protestant have less freedom to serve his Interest than the Pope the Turk or the Devil Come come say what you will Interest is the greatest Sultan in the World and hath a larger dominion than Religion Po. I confess that what you have said is so severely True that I will not dispute your Right to a Turkish Alliance but however 't is unpracticable and distance denies you that advantage for it is a long journey from Edghill to Mount Olympus But I would gladly understand what hopes and Intrigues you have at home to prop a declining Cause Ph. This last Age has been a meer Game at Chesse between the King and the Punies the Crown and the Commons and I have made my advantage of every motion but Charles the Second hath moved with so much caution and judgment that we must have yeilded the Game if the Two Dukes had not Po. Hold have a care don't whisper the least Scandalum Magnatum Ph. This is very pleasant indeed that You whose Title and Frontispiece is Blasphemy should caution me against Humane Scandal Po. I shall not now dispute who looks most like the Blaspheming Beast in the Revelations you or I but I am sure You may Blaspheme God and the King at a Cheaper rate than touch the honour of a Peer you may with more indempnity Steal the Crown than Spit upon a Coronet Remember that Scandalum Magnatum amounts to more than 20 l. a Month and will more certainly ruine you than all the Poenal Laws Ph. Well I
is the most Sacred Right and Liberty of the Subject and that such an Act of Grace would produce an Vniversal Calm and force Assassins to adore him I know he can't long endure to hear the Grones and Doleful complaints of ruin'd Families who pine under the pressure of Poenal Laws and since it is no time to affront him I am resolv'd to appear as Patient as a Primitive Martyr and thus I do hope that by the Intercession of mighty Friends and the artifice of a feigned Humility I may at length attain the Jubilee of a Second Indulgence and then But pray tell me what is your Opinion concerning Toleration Po. I have a very good Opinion of a Toleration in England but I will never allow it at Rome for I am of the same mind with your Presbyterian that if the Devil were to beg a favour he would petition for an Vniversal Toleration for beside the ill consequences of State-factions and fierce Animosities an Allowance of so many Divisions and Varieties in Religion must occasion an Indifferency in looser minds and make them dispute the very Fundamentals and therefore I believe that a Toleration tends more to Atheisme than the Spanish Inquisition But now I must leave you and consult with the Imperial and Venetian Ambassadours concerning that grand Affair of the Turkish War and since you are resolv'd for England again I wish you a Short Voyage and a Long Parliament Ph. Undone undone I spie an English-man of War under full Sail Top and Top Gallant and he seems to pursue us Ital. Seamen Well what if it be we are not Conscious to our selves of any Affront to the King of Great Britain we will not pretend to flee wee 'l Furl our Sails expect and Salute him Ph. Oh! that I had seen a Flag with Mahomets Half Moon it had been a far more pleasing prospect than the Ensign of the Cross I had rather be a slave in Argiers than a Prisoner in London Cavalier and a Guard Gentlemen is there not an English Phanatick who under some Tuscan Disgnise has stol'n into this Italian Bottom Ital. Seamen Signore we have on Board a very Sullen Melancholy Passenger and he is now couch'd upon the Round Top but we know nothing of his Religion whether he Worship God or the D â—vil Christ or Mahomet we are very willing to part with him for we have lost many of our Ships Company by a Bloody Flux and have been tossed with Storm and Tempest ever since he imbarq'd with us Caval Come Soldiers down with him away with him Disarm him and clap him under Deck Ph. Is this Great and Generous to Triumph over a naked Man and not leave me a Sword to cut your Throat Cav When the King shall think it Prudence to make Bedlam an Armory and all those Lunaticks Granadeers then you may expect he should return your Sword and Trust you once more with his Militia and Magazines but 'till then Ph.
