have made the Whiggs the Contrivers of his Impeaching his Father and how when they saw he bogled at it and could not carry it through stich they left him in a stone Dublet and would not so much as regard him and farther how we have insinuated how advantagious it would have been to the good Old Cause had it succeeded Nat. Aye and that he has confessed their Roguery and is become a great Penitent Jes Yes yes and farther that he expects no Favour nor Reward that will make it slip down the easier for it is time to do something to perswade people there is a Protestant Plot. Nat. And is this true Jes True A Pox upon Truth she has spoiled a Plot that was 17 years a contriving why can you imagine to enter into pay on our side and have a Guinny a week Pension money if your Conscience is so straight that you cannot swallow a dozen Lyes for Breakfast nay Oaths if you were put to it Nat. My Conscience straight why I have not been troubled with any such thing as Conscience these 9 years therefore you need not fear that but to put you out of doubt true or false I 'le print it Jes Why man t is the second part of the Protestant Plot and as I remember you were a main Instrument in promoting the first by herding your self among the Boys that were to have made the Insurrection under pretence of burning the Rump for which your little acquaintance made you cool your Heels in the Gate-house a considerable season Nat. Right Sir but I think I was pretty even with him if Railery could do it Jes We lost a brave hit on 't that bout Nat. Faith so we did I am sure I should have been a Captain at least had it succeeded but what 's past cannot be recall'd Jes Well as it was you were no loser by the bargain for I doubt not but the over-plus of the Guinnys that were sent you to Treat the Youngsters at the Tavern and Ale-house defrayed your Gate-House and Newgate Charges and brought you off a winner Nat. No more of that Sir as you love me for the remembrance of it terrifies me worse than the thoughts of a Pillory or having a cast of Esquire Catches Office bestowed upon me harp no more on that string good Father but when you shall understand how pollitickly I 'le manage this new Sham I hope you 'l both forget and forgive that fatal Over-sight Jes Dear Son we have done that already and all that we now can wish is That we could stay to see the Effects this works in the over-credulous Nat. Stay By Coleman's Ghost I hope you don't intend to leave me in the Lurch Jes VVe would not willingly but it cannot be help'd for we have it confirm'd by some of our old Friends that lurk about the Town to inform us which way the VVind blows that we must shortly pack up our Awls for the Scilly Islands Nat. Nay then I am undone O what shall I do for Sham-Inventions to furnish my Intelligence nay I must e'n lay it down and cry p●ccavi or the Whigs being Ten to One too hard for me will by their continual Discovery of my little Rogueries render me more ridiculous than ever Indeed I heard something of this yesterday but could not believe a word of it Jes 'T is too true but be of good Comfort Nat. for we have been so Provident as to provide enough before hand to serve you for a Month at least and by that time we shall be setled in our new Quarters and then expect to hear from us every Post Nat. This revives me but pray does Madam Cellier bear you Company Jes No no she must not as yet leave her Old Landlord Nat. That 's well Jes 'T is so for we have given her Order to assist you in your weekly business as much as in her lies and to let you Father all the Shams she can invent Nat. Nay then I doubt not but I shall be able to make some Shot against my Enemies for I know she 's a Plaguy Jade at Invention Jes Hold nor a word more I see a Whig about to enter and if he should over-hear us all our Sport is spoiled farewell at this time and remember what you have to do and let me see you next Friday at Confession and then we 'l Discourse about other matter Nat. I shall be all Obedience and now I think on 't I could not have staid much longer if no interruption had happened lest our Turkey should be over roasted Jes What Turkey Nat. One that we found Straying from an Inn near Charter-House 〈◊〉 and out of a Provident Care lest she should be lost took her up and clapping her under my Cloak stifled her and brought her into Smithfield to be drest where two of your Sons expect my Return and will grow impatient at my stay Farewell Father Jes Farewel Son the Popes and my Blessing attend you be active impromoting the Cause and as that prospe●s expect your Advancement Nat. Doubt not my Diligence but now time calls away Once more dear Sir farewell Exit Nat. Printed for Charles Leigh 1682.
