Alarm the French King and late Queen when her escape could have done them little harm since it had been more Innocent for them to pretend that whatever the woman when in England declared she was hired and words put into her mouth by King William and his Agents c. To this I answer and it is known to most in Europe that the French King is the most unfit person to impose such an untruth on the World For his Gallick Majesty very well knows that had Mrs. Grey come over to England and declar'd this matter all his Declarations or charges against her wou'd have signified but little For the many false Impositions of the French King and his abdicated Brother are too well known for any to trust or believe them for the future without good security And on the other hand all must allow King William never gave incouragement to Villanies nor false Imputations to support his cause or Interest in any kind His Throne is Establish'd on the Basis of true Justice and Vertue This Author adds There was no need of the French Kings being there at the personal Examination of Mrs. Grey and says It was below him nay it was none of his concern but the late King and Queens c. But in this as in other cases he shews his Vanity in opposing truths and sure he must willfully forget that King James was at this time in Ireland which almost every one knows And the late Queen never did any business of concern without consulting the French King to whom at this time she was in a more special manner obliged to apply her self for his assistance fearing without it it might prove Impossible for her to be any longer secured from being expos'd in this her Master-piece of Intriegue on which all her hopes and even those of the late Kings success depended As for their confining Mrs. Grey in some remote Convent as tHat of Oublies c. If ever the late Queen or French King had any such thoughts it must needs be stifled by the late Queens extraordinary Consternation which she had not then recovered But as in the case of the Duke of Monmouth nothing but blood could satisfy her besides as their might happen a breach in those Garden Walls too or some other Contrivance which might afford Mrs. Grey a second opportunity of Leaving them her Death was therefore undoubtedly thought most secure and might easily be practised where 't is not thought so great a sin but may be absolved especially in so important a Cause This Gentleman now falls hard on Mr. Settle for assisting me which God knows he did not for I have no need of help in a Relation of a Matter where I was so nearly concerned And as for his Advice When he writs next for me c. I do tell him That as in the two former Treatises so in This I have writ nothing but what is true and what I will maintain against all Opposers whatever of which I will give the World a further Proof as soon as my business will permit me And by reason I never heard of any Bishop that writ against me I have no occasion to trouble my Self with the matter And as for that of the House of Commons I hope to have a just Hearing and am contented that my Life should lie at stake in case I prove not what I have writ or said in This or Others in my just Defence Having thus answered all the Objections of this malicious Author against me I now proceed to solve some other Queries which have been spread abroad by other Male-Contents who knowing their Instability only Mole-like work under Ground and try all Shifts and Arts to Trap me One of these is Mr. S a Zealous Roman Catholi●k who was in France sometime though now obliged to return for Bread and sets up for an Opposer of my Narrative laying hold of an Error in my first Book committed by the Printer viz. in these words I Embark'd with the late Queen her pretended Son c. from White-Hall whereas in my Original the words were That I Embark'd in the same Barge which carryed the Queen and the next Day following we arrived at Callais in a Yatch I confess I should at first have enlarged on the full Account of this Matter but that I thought it might be too tedious for to trouble my Reader with by reason so many have writ formerly on the same Subject Next it is alledged by some who are either wilfully ignorant or malicious in their Reports That I never was Page of Honour to the late Queen c. I confess it was in France But if the Testimony or Confession of one upon his Tryal for his Life and Death may be credited I hope Mr. Crone 's words may which were on his Tryal these viz. I confess I was in France and introduced to the Queen by Mr. Fuller her Majesty's Page that was in waiting when I came to St. Germains To which he adds and just before his Condemnation That had he but known on what Account I was in France when he was with me he would have used me as I had done him Thus far his Irish Assurance prompted him to Express his Zeal for King James's Cause even when he was found Guilty of High Treason for which he was Condemned at the Old Baily and Reprieved from time to time which he obtained by repeated Promises of making a full and ingenuous Confession of what he knew to the Government which he perform'd after having had Twenty Four Reprieves from the King and Queen upon which he was Pardoned and set at Liberty and Orders were given for the Indictments to be drawn up against such as the said Crone in his Confession had Discovered as also against those to whom with him I brought Commissions and Instructions from the late King and Queen and the French King for the furthering the Designs then on Foot to Kill King William and His Royal Consort Queen Mary and to seize them Dead or Alive with private Instructions to secure in the like manner Alive or Dead all Lords and Others which should oppose King James's Interest or the Authority of those to whom he had given Commission under his Broad Seal bearing Date at Dublin to Act for him as Deputies or Lords Justices of England Concerning this I cannot forbear to acquaint my Reader That these Lords trusted in so great a Concern were appointed by the French King For a Commission of this kind was sent over from Dublin to St. Germains in January 1690. But the French King being displeased with some Persons that King James had Authorized sent it immediately back to him by an Express to notifie his dislike wh●ch King James did not Dispute but instantly dispatched the Lord Thomas Howard to the French King upon the adjusting of that Matter And on his Voyage that unhappy and ingenious Lord had the misfortune to be Cast away and his Fate not being known in
