THE PREFACE WHoever shall meet with this following Letter I do assure them it is the Contents of a Letter I carry'd to the present Lord Mayor and forasmuch as what is contain'd in my former Books will be shortly made as apparent as the Nature of the Subject can possibly afford or be reasonably required by a sufficient Number of Witnesses and a large Number of Letters prov'd Authentick I desire all impartial Persons to take Notice That the true Copy of my last Book has been much abus'd by being printed only in part in a single Sheet which had not the Testimony of several material Passages nor the Observations which renders the Truth most apparent so I have order'd the true Book intituled A Plain Proof of the True Father and Mother of the Pretended Prince of Wales by several Letters c. Printed for my self to be Sold with this Letter only by Mrs. Eliz. Harris Bookseller at the Harrow in Little-Britain And my former Books publish'd in 1696. are only truly to be had at Mrs. Ann Baldwin's in Warwick-Lane W. F. Mr. Fuller's Letter To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor c. SIR THERE having been lately spread abroad a most scurrilous and scandalous Pamphlet intituled Fuller's Plain Proof of the True Mother of the Pretended Prince of Wales made out to be no Proof I think my self much obliged in Duty to my present King and Country to make a short Reply to the base Suggestions of that malicious Author who makes bold grosly to reflect on the Government under a false Notion of a Well-wisher to his Country and a specious Pretence of vindicating Truth as he terms it whereas his main Intention is to vindicate the Legitimacy of that horrid Impostor the Pretended Prince of Wales For were this Gentleman what he pretends to be a Friend to Truth and Honesty or a Well-wisher to the Protestant Religion certain I am he wou'd not take such Pains to expose his Folly and ill Nature with worse Breeding by bantering Truth with scandalous Reports and forged Imaginations of his own inventing like that most wicked lying Book intituled My Life printed some Years since by A. Ropper and writ by Elcanah Settle the latter of which has many times before Witness begg'd my Pardon for it and own'd that the greatest Part of that Book was the Invention of his and the Printer's Brain to get Money And this Book is that Life of mine which this late scribling Author takes notice of saying I have read his Life too late to be in Love with his manner of Living and what he next charges me with of a Design of getting Money from your Lordship for my Dedication I do humbly assure your Lordship is false the only Ambition I had next to the Publick Service was the Honour your Lordship's and your Worthy Brethren the Right Worshipful the Aldermen of this City would do me in favouring me with the Reading of my said Book And though the present Government has no Occasion at this time to fear any Danger from that Pretended Prince or his highly bigoted Party yet surely it cannot be amiss to let the World know from whence that Imposture sprung That this Information was no sooner given is an Inquiry easily enough resolv'd by asserting the true Cause which is our present Government 's gracious Disposition and Readiness to pass by the greatest Affronts and Injuries as our Great and Good King has so bravely done even to the Admiration of his very Enemies And in this Case I am very sure His Majesty knew the Management of this Suposititious Birth long before I came into his Majesty's Service and had both the Letters and Informations of a great many Persons of Note plainly discovering the same as witness His Majesty's Declaration when Prince of Orange in December 1688. But to Crown all there are great and violent Presumptions inducing us to believe that those evil Counsellors in order to the carrying on of their ill Designs and to the gaining to themselves the more Time for the effecting of them for the encouraging of their Complices and for the discouraging of all good Subjects have publish'd That the Queen hath brought forth a Son though there have appear'd both during the Queen's pretended Bigness and in the Manner in which the Birth was managed so many just and visible Grounds of Suspicion that not only we our selves but all the good Subjects of this Kingdom do vehemently suspect that the Pretended Prince of Wales was not born by the Queen And it is notoriously known to all the World that many both doubted of the Queen's Bigness and of the Birth of the Child and yet there was not any one Thing done to satisfie them or to put an end to their Doubts And several Persons have been examined upon the same as Captain Wright and others I formerly mention'd as is very well known to the Greatest Men at Court which is so apparent that no less than the Insolent Assurance of a very scandalous Noble or a most infamous Non-juring Parson one of which we suspect our late Author to be could so openly dare presume to assert that there is no Proof but mine whereas it is evident that there is a greater Number of Witnesses by far to prove almost every Particular which I have set down than there was to prove the pretended Prince's Birth And I hope it will not be long e're those Witnesses are call'd that the World may see how much my Adversaries are in the Wrong But I shall beg your Lordship's Patience whilst I further answer briefly his chief Objections against my Testimony and the Truth of the Letters As to the First He tries to invallidate my Assertions by saying I am a notorious Lyar and was discredited by the House of Lords and Commons whereas my Business was never yet in debate in the House of Lords And it is evident that I never was Sentenc'd by them nor my Testimony refus'd And as for the Displeasure that I incurr'd from the House of Commons the Occasion is manifestly known to have proceeded from a Stratagem contriv'd at the Court of St. Germains to work my Ruine and was managed by Col. Dalleval and Mr. Hays Two Agents of that Court who pretending to serve the present Government easily prevail'd on the Immaturity of my Judgment so that I foolishly engag'd to the House of Commons for their Appearance And I have sufficiently prov'd they came to England accordingly and were in the Lobby of the House of Commons on Monday the 22d of Febr. 1692.
