Court but also from the Town of St. Germain to avoid the daily Insults of the Priests and the dreaded Consequences of the Jealousies with which they possest't King James's Court against him Dr. Gordon a Bishop of Scotland the only Protestant Divine that then was there met with a worse Treatment still than Dr. Granvile and was reduced to the necessity of abjuring his Religion for want of Bread with which he could not be Supplied but upon those hard terms However K. James being sensible that such an usage would prejudice his Interest in Britain resolved to prevent the coming of any Protestant Divine there and therefore sent Mr. Macqueen in Company of Major Scot into England who brought Letters from him to his Friends in which he required them to trouble him no more with Divines as Messengers This bad Success did not altogether discourage the Protestant Party they made a second effort upon the Constitution of the before-mentioned Council of Five to have one of the number at least a Protestant They insisted upon the Advantages which might thence redound to his Majesties Affairs in Britain and for that end did earnestly recomend my Lord Chief Justice Herbert as a Person both well qualified to give Advice in English Affairs and of an unspoted reputation in his Country Those reasons where so convincing that the Irish fearing they would obtain their demand an Information was trumped up against the chief Justice by Mr. Comptroller Skelton and Sir William Sharp of having said that King James's violent Temper would ruin himself and all that followed him My Lord owned the Words but made so ingenious an Explanation of his meaning which was in relation to the Act of Settlement in Ireland that King James was satisfied The Irish having missed their Aim formed a short time after another Plot against him and charged him of corresponding with the English and mis-representing the Transactions of that Court whereupon he and a worthy Lady with whom he boarded were confined and Broomfield the Quaker committed to the Bastile And thus was this Lord Chief Justice for no other reason but his adhering to a Protestant Interest excluded from all share of management of Affairs in King James's Court tho his Capacity and Sufferings were sufficient in the Eyes of all reasonable Men to have intitled him to a share in that Prince's Favour and Secret If my Lord Chief Justice Herbert was so used I would fain know upon what ground any of our Jacobites should flatter himself of a better Treatment Mr. Cockburn of Lanton in the Kingdom of Scotland was the next Protestant that had Merit and Favour enough to pretend to a share in the management of King James's Affairs This Gentleman having followed him in Ireland was taken at Sea after the Battle of the Boyn and brought Pisoner to London but a Proposal being made of Exchanging him for Captain St. Lo then Prisoner in France he was inlarged and during his abode here did so ingratiate himself with the most considerable of the disaffected Protestants that he was recommended by them to King James as a Person fit to serve him in the Affairs of greatest Trust He was no sooner arived at St. Germain that he told that Prince his Friends in England thought that my Lord Melford who was then returned from Rome was a great Grievance and ought to be laid aside and that the only way for the King to procure the good Opinion of his Subjects in Britain and reconcile them to him was to put the management of his Affairs in Protestants Hands This prudent Advice of the disaffected Protestants of England or of Mr. Cockburn had an effect quite contrary to what they expected King James took it so ill that in few days after an Order was procured from the French Court commanding him to depart France under severe Penalties being too much a Friend to the English Interest Mr. Cockburn was forced to obey and has lived as an Exile in Holland and Hamburg ever since But the Submission of the Scotch Highlanders afford us still some more convincing Proofs of King James's hatred for the Protestant Religion and of his Ingratitude towards such who had made a Sacrifice of all that can be dear to Men to Support his sinking Fortune in Scotland The Lords Dumferling Dundee Dunkel Colonels Cannon Graham and several others Protestants having forfeited their Estates and Families retired into France as also did the Colonels Buchan Maxwell Wauchop and some other Popish Gentlemen but when they came to St. Germain the Papists were immediatly preferred to considerable Posts both in the French and Irish Armies while the Protestants tho their Merit was greater were exposed to all imaginable hardship and contempts My Lord Dumferling and Colonel Cannon are too Illustrious Examples of King James's Ungratitude to be here past by The Earl through a mistaken notion of Loyalty and Honour had Sacrificed his Honourable Family and a plentiful Estate to follow that Prince in his misfortune and it must be granted that such a Proof of Loyalty deserved some kind Returns yet happening to Quarrel at St. Germain with one Captain Brown a Papist about a Trifle the Captain was incouraged and countenanced in his quarrel by the Court and made Commander of a Company of Scots Reformed Officers in Catalonia whilst this Noble Lord was despised for his adhering to his Religion This ill Treatment broke his Heart and he sunk under the Weight of his hard Fate at St. Germain His misfortune lasted longer than his Life for notwithstanding his Merits Sufferings and the Interest made by his Friends he could not obtain a Christian Burial and his Corps was hid in a Chamber till an opportunity was found of Digging a hole in the Fields in the Night where they Thrust him in Nor was Colonel Cannon better used than my Lord Dumferling This Gentleman Commanded as General over King James's Army in Scotland and served him with so much faithfulness that every body thought he would be preferred to a great Command upon his arrival at St. Germain but he positively refusing to abandon the little Religion he had which was Protestant was reduced to the Scandalous Allowance of half a Crown a day whilst Papists who had served under him were advanced to good Posts This unhappy Gentleman finding himself thus neglected fell sick through Grief and Want and died having taken the Sacrament from the Hands of Dr. Granvile three days before his Death but the Priest who were always buzing about him took the oppertunity of his being Speechless to Thrust a Wafer down his Throat and gave out that he was dead a Papist and by this means got him the Favour of Burial which his Corps had else been excluded from as well as my Lord Dumferling's If the Sufferings and great Merits of these two Gentlemen have not been able to Molify King James's Heart and to obtain from him any generous Returns I would fain know upon what Foundation are grounded the
