Martyrology He says Thirdly that the City is too powerfull for any Prince thaâ⦠Governs not by the love of his people which no Popish Successour can expect to do This is the very Translation of his Namesake Iunius Brutus in his Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos ââ¦f the Prince fails in his promise says he the people are exempt from their obedience The contract is made void and the right of obligation is of no force It is therefore permitted to the Officers of a Kingdom either all or some good member of them to suppresse a Tyrant Here 's a great deal of virulence in his Discourse without one word of weight to countenance it For the well-being of this City is so essentially requisite to the well-being of this Kingdom that the very charge of the Government is not to be defray'd without it So that it is the interest of all Governours to cherish and support it Here he trifles away some half a score lines more about the Fire and then from the danger of the City advances to the further danger accruing to the Citizens ãâã well as to the whole Kingdom upon the Kings untimely Death The greatest danger says he will ãâã from a confusion and want of some Eminent and Interested ãâã whom you may trust to ââ¦ead you up against a French and Popish Army For which purpose no person is fitter then his Grace the Duke of Monmouth as wââ¦ll for Quality Courage and Conduct as for that his lifâ⦠and fortune depends upon the same bottom with Yours He will stand by you therefore ought you to stand by him And remember the old rule is he who hath the worst title ever makes the best King Does he suppose this confusion upon the death of the King or the burning of the City or before or after Or has he consulted either the Illustrious Person or the Honourable City that he makes so bold with to know whether or not the one would accept of such a Commission upon the Appellants terms or the other offer it the Character that he is pleas'd to bestow upon his Grace for his Quality Courage and Conduct is not unknown to any man that ever so much as heard of his Name But the Appellant never considers that all these glorious circumstances are point blank contradictions to his design How can he imagine that so brave a Person can ever stoop to so mean a thought and suffer himself by a rostitute Libell to be inchanted out of his Honour reason and Allegiance Or that the most Eminent City of Christendom for purity of Religion Loyalty to their Prince Power Good Government Wealth and Resolution should be cajol'd out of all these blessings and advantages by the Iesuitical Fanaticism of a Dark-lanthorn-Pamphlet But to what end is all this clutter The Appellant has a mind it seems to change his Master He who hath the worst Title he says ever makes the best King which is a very fair proposition for setting up of a worse Title in his Majesties place From hence he goes forward still computing upon his Majesties death as a thing to be taken for granted and so recommending himself to the most worthy Citizens he finishes his appeal filling up the Page with a Postscript concerning some Antimonarchical principles in the Church of Rome He that has a mind to see these match'd in the Scottish Kirk may receive further satisfaction in a little book Entitled TYRANNY and POPERY Lording it over the Consciences Lives Liberties and Estates both of King and People Also The Comicall Christian In a Translation of Twenty Select Colloquies out of Erasmus Roterodamus Pleasantly Representing several Superstitious Levities crept into the Church of Rome in His days Both Printed for Henry Brome at the Gun in St. Pauls Churchyard 1680.
