A42155	Clarior e tenebris, or, A justification of two books, the one printed 1680, under the title of The Grand inquest, the other in April 1682, under the title of The royal favourite cleared with several other reasons in vindication of His Royal Highness ... / by J.G. of the Inner-Temple, Esq.	Garbrand, John, b. 1646 or 7.	1683 (1683)	Wing G202; ESTC R8046	6,968	25

a pretended or at least a misguided Zeal in them who do believe or endeavour to perswade the World That his Royal Highness is a Papist that so they may have a better colour to perform what they go about and make his Innocence Justice and Valour a Cloak for their Wickedness and as it were sanctifie their Crimes by counterfeiting his Name as a Party to their Black and Hellish Contrivances So fond are wicked men to have their Iniquity believed to be none that if they can but pretend to have perswaded the just into their Opinion even they themselves begin to think they have done no harm Secondly What they design who would stigmatize the Duke with the name of Papist is obvious in the Fanatick who conjoyn'd with the Papist endeavour to effect the same thing tho' with different Ends. The Jesuit makes use of the Fanatick as the Ape did of the Cats Foot only with this difference the Fanatick was willing to be made use of though it were with the hazard of burning hoping at last to deceive the cunning of him who exposed him and so the Jesuit who had laid the Snare was to be taken in his own Gin together with what he most endeavour'd to destroy viz. The present Government And this Jack Presbyter zealously concluded would set Whiggery on Horseback make Kings Elective or bring forth their great Diana a Common-wealth whose practice is to imbrue their Hands in the Blood of Kings Priests and Nobles that they may once more enjoy their Dignities and Estates and secure to themselves those Possessions by a more durable Tyranny For that reason like eager Hounds they pursue the Duke and are ready with like Numbers to vote him a Papist tho' a Protestant `as to exclude him from the Succession tho' Brother to the King by which associating Principle they seem to resemble the Guise Faction who by the hand of Clement the Monk murthered Henry the Third of France for being a Persecutor of the Roman Faith tho' he lived and died a zealous Roman Catholick as Davila does at large recite in his History of the Civil Wars of France But what need we cross the Seas when we have a Domestick and more recent Example that is able to convince the worst of men in the death of King Charles the First of ever Blesed Memory who died a Martyr for the Protestant Religion And yet by our Covenanteers who may be said to be the Spawn of that Holy League he was branded with the Name of Papist Instances so pat and suitable to my purpose that they cannot be passed over without a particular Remarque In vain therefore do those persons who would stigmatize the Duke with the Name of Papist plead Statutes and Laws to strengthen their Pretensions when Laws and Statutes will not speak or act according to their crooked and obscure Opinions neither will their conceited Numbers be able to justifie them in the sight of God or Men. Thirdly What they would be at who fear the Duke to be a Papist Truly it is a very hard matter to guess at the meaning of their Fears unless it be supposed like Foxes they take their Ears for Horns and therefore will run with the Cornuted Company thinking to find more safety from them than under the Protection of the Noble Lion who seem'd to have banish'd those only that bore Arms against him Will any believe the cunning Papist the scandalous Fanatick or the malicious discontented States-man then let them cry as they do the Duke is a Papist the King is Popishly affected and so are the Ministry and Gentry and that Popery and Tyranny are coming in as a Torrent but let these men consider they ought to be esteemed the greatest Plague of a Nation and to be most severely dealt with who are such Weather-Cocks that will turn with every Wind and give credit to such discontented Parties that never think they are doing their Duty if they are not lampooning the Government aspersing the King the Royal Family and their best Friends nay more associating and contriving how to give Law to their Superiours tearing and rending from the Prerogative what should support the Crown in its due Glory and Splendor and keep them in their Allegiance Again Have any received just Fears and Suspitions of the Duke's being a Papist if they have yet still they are but Fears and Suspitions and are to be corrected if they will hearken to the King who speaks otherwise in his Speech to his Parliament on the 6th of March in the 31st year of his Reign and to two Acts of Parliament the one made 25. Car. 2. the other 30. Car 2. which likewise say otherways so do the Scotch Clergy and Nation who are as little addicted to Popery as England is witness the Letter from thence directed to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury from Edenburgh the 9th of March 1682. So do our Universities and so do all those that seek Peace and Truth and whatever the Fears of these men are yet 't is to be hoped that this Truth will still prevail in spite of all its Opposers and then those wretched Creatures that run screaming about and know not what they would have being fill'd with Fears and Jealousies probably may be some of them that aim at a General Pardon and so render the late Plots as much as in them lies ridiculous by such a Solicitation wherein their own Fears are as demonstrable as the others Crimes and in the Croud tho' guilty they may pass away undiscerned leaving the Taint upon those who remain squalling behind Fourthly What they aim at who credit the Duke with their best belief notwithstanding his many sufferings by reason of the unparalled malice of wicked men must I hope at this time of the day be esteem'd Generous and extreamly for the establishment of Religion and Loyalty and if their numbers be small yet that with the blessing of God must be lookt upon to exceed the Numbers of their Enemies for if God be for them who can be against them And if the Duke do not appear publickly at our Churches it must be thought to take off a Calumny that otherwise would have been cast even upon the Church it self by those who have been so lately ripe for Rebellion and would therefore have call'd our Clergy Romish Priests and our Service Book the Mass as they have call'd the Duke Roman Catholick and this is plain since they have already declared our Ministry and Gentry Popishly affected and branded them with the ignominious Names of the Dead Weight French Pensioners and Betrayers of their King and Country And speaking after the manner of Men could they then have hearded the Duke among the Clergy who like the blown Deer was pitied but could not be assisted by his Companions these cruel and Blood-thirsty men would have worri'd the whole Flock of Christ and made it ere this a Prey to the most Barbarous People that were ever seen upon the
