A grave Protestant Gentleman of the Temple last Trinity Term riding up to London meeting with a Popish Gent. of his acquaintance on the way they discoursing of these last Revolutions and changes of Government the Protestant told him that these alterations were but the Plots and productions of the Jesuites and those of his Religion who did but laugh at us in their sleeves to see what fools they made us At which the Papist growing somwhat angry He desired him to be patient since they were antient friends and what he spake was not in jeast or scoff as he took it but in sober sadness desiring him having great acquaintance amongst the Papists to inquire out the truth of what he spake when he came to London where most Papists in England were then assembled for both their satisfactions and to give him an account thereof which he promised to do About 5. or 6. dayes after this Papist told him That according to his request he had made diligent inquiry of the truth of what he spake on the way and that he found all or most of the Iesuites were Knaves they and most of the Iesuited Papists being against the King and wholly for a Commonwealth as being most advantagious for the King of Spains Interest using more words to the same effect Which the Protestant being my old familiar acquaintace about two dayes after related to me in Westminster-hall as a concurrent testimony with that I had published to this effect in my True and perfect Narrative and the Republicans Spurious good old Cause truly Anatomized 3ly Lilly a zealous Republican in his Almanack Anno 1651. prognosticated That the Stars did then promise Acts of Grace and Favor to Popish Recusants who in their Zeal and Loyalty to the New Republike exceeded most Presbyterians An argument it was a creature of the Jesuites and their projection to procure them more grace and favor than before and promote their designs against us 4ly Nedham Rogers his Consederate and fellow Champion against me makes use of the Jesuit Barclay his forecited Iesuitical Principle as the chief corner-stone of our New Parliaments and Republikes structure whereon they are both built And not only so but he useth the very Arguments of Campanella which he prescribed the King of Spain to suggest to the English Nobility Protestants and Clergy to hinder and keep out King James from the Crown of England upon Queen Elizabeths death to disswade and draw them all of from King Charls and oppose his restitution now Campanellaes words are these cap. 25.

The Royal party will never leave buzzing in C. Stuarts ears to quicken his memory that the interest of your party was in its infancy founded upon the ruin of HIS GRAND-MOTHER continued and improved by the perpetual vexation of his GRAND-FATHER and at length prosecuted TO THE DECAPITATION OF HIS FATHER Be not so weak as to fool your selves that you shall fare better than others It is the common sence of the Cavaliers that you prepared his FATHER for the block and are incensed at others because they took from you the honour of the execution Dr. Creiton told him That the Presbyterians pulled his FATHER Down and held him by the hair while the Independents cut off his head And after him it was more elegantly expressed by Salmatius Presbyteriani Sacrificium ligarunt Independentes jugularunt c. And p. 5 6. The PAPISTS having had so fair a Creature of the Father for many reasons they have no cause to fear foul dealing from the Son As for HIS RELIGION if any it is at best but a devotion to Prelacy which was bequeathed to him by Legacy All his other pretences of Religion in Scotland he forfeited before ever he left that Countrey What profession he hath since owned abroad hath for reasons of State been kept very close yet not so close but he discovered it But if this be not evident let us have recourse to reason and then consider HOW LONG HE WAS UNDER THE WING OF HIS MOTHERS INSTRUCTIONS IN FRANCE and what a Nursery Flanders hath been for him since which IS THE MOST JESUITED PLACE IN THE WORLD consider also the urgency of his necessities disposing him to imbrace any thing or take any course to get a Crown being under the same influence of the wandring Starre called Reason of State as was his GRAND-FATHER H. the 4th of France who shifted his Religion to secure a Crown c. These put all together into the ballance are ground enough to believe him sufficiently affected if not sworn to Popery Here we have Nedham plowing with Campanella his heifer using his very policy words arguments in substance to exasperate the Presbyterians Independents and Protestant party against Charles Stuart and keep him from the Crown as Campanella suggested to the King of Spain and the English Protestants and Prelates to exasperate them against his Grandfather King James for the self-same end by traducing both in their Religion and meditation of revenge of their respective Mothers and Fathers decollations Here I shall desire the Readers to take special Notice of 4. particulars 1.

Stuarts secret inclination to Popery against his constant avowed profession of Protestantism in the very midst of the most Jesuited Papists to be any argument at all for his Protestant Subjects not to assist but to rise up and rebell against him to keep him from the Crown 3ly The extraordinary sottishness and infatuation of those Protestants who will be cheated seduced by such Jesuitical suggestions calumnies as Nedham and others have published of him touching his inclination to Popery to withdraw their affections assistance from him either to supply his necessities or restore him if not to his hereditary Civil Rights yet at least to the comfortable fruition of Gods Ordinances and Christian Society in our Protestant Churches and Kingdom for his spiritual Consolation and Salvation 4ly The most barbarous infernal matchless malice of those degenerated Republican and Army-Saints professing themselves Stars of the greatest Magnitude in the Protestant Orb in expelling their undoubted natural hereditary Protestant King not only out of all his own Protestant Realms and Dominions but likewise out of Holland and France where he lived in exile and had the relief and society of Protestants into Flanders the most Jesuited place in the world as Nedham prints where are none but Papists enforcing him there to live upon their alms alone and keep him there in Exile on purpose to necessitate him with his Brothers followers adherents to renounce the Protestant Religion and party and become professed Papists to destroy murder his and their souls and bodies at once and deprive him of his eternal Crown in heaven as well as of his temporal Crowns on earth a Be astonished O heaven and be ye horribly afraid at this unpresidented Tyranny and Treachery the highest Malignity of Jesuitism and express revived Image of the Jesuites design against his Grandfather King Henry the 4. of France who shifting his Religion by the Jesuites perswasion to secure his Crown and Life against their malicious designs was soon after b by their instigation deprived of both if not of his eternal Crown by a stab through his heart by one of their disciples though he had bequeathed his heart to them by will and built them a magnificent College richly indowed by him with lands and plate If then c the tree as Christ himself resolves may be certainly known by its fruits we may easily judge from whence these rotten bitter fruits of Jesuitism originally sprung and who were the planters of those trees which bear them But if they cannot effect this infernal design to destroy his Soul and body together yet they will make use of it to murder his reputation and render him a suspected if not a devoted proselyte to Popery to debar● his return to his Protestant Kingdoms d And shall not God visit for these sins Shall not his Soul be avenged on such a Nation as this I shall add a 4th Evidence I only pointed at e before worthy special observation which will fully answer the late printed Sheet intituled A clear Vindication of Roman Catholicks from a foul
