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
