Parable of Jotham on mount Gerizzim about the Trees going forth to choose a King and they chose the Bramble for their King. Now you know it is the nature of a Bramble to scratch and tear all that it comes near as Gadbury observes but the Bramble was not chose for a Commonwealth but for a King. Therefore how he will make this serve to set out the greatness of a King I cannot tell unless he hath made choice of this to abuse and affront them for I am sure it can be taken no otherwise However pitty his Folly and his Ignorance in this and every thing else for if he knew better he would do better for when he calls the Bramble a Commonwealth he calls himself a Common Coxcomb But it is no wonder in this Case because he is the same in every thing else In his Astrology he is a very Ignarant Fellow And his scandalous Libel throughout is nothing else but Cant and Noise As you see in the Nativity he there talks of which is all false his Palladium of Rome his Quotations out of Haly his pretended Astrological Reasons to prove the predictions in the Month false in all which it is nothing else but Trick and Sham. But I do not much wonder he is got into this false Course and Custom when I consider he is turned Papist a Lying false Religion and never was Religion and Proselyte better matcht than now in Jack Gadbury and Popery And this is the Course and Custom he will live in till the Government altars in England for when Popery goes out of fashion then he leaves it and I suppose about twelve Months hence it will be Hey for a new Religion c. Page 28. he says There was never such a civiliz'd Army in England as at this day and he is sure no man hath been wronged of a Pig Hen or Egg without Redress c. Here let the whole Nation be Judges For the behaviour of the Soldiers and the Complaints of the People from all parts of the Nation are visible evidences of the Fellows Impudence But perhaps the Rapes Robberies and Murders they commit are nothing if they let the Pigs and the Hens alone or perhaps he thinks the hanging of a poor Lousy Souldier or two for Robbing is redress and Satisfaction enough for their own Crimes and those of their Officers but I would advise the Fellow to go down to Hounslow and the parts adjacent or into the Countreys where they quarter and inquire there and no doubt but he will hear of many Abuses and Wrongs done that are yet unsatisfied even Rapes and Murders But perhaps Jack may be in the right of it too for the Soldiers have done no man an injury in his sence that is no Papist for in his opinion the Protestants are but like Caterpillars and Vermin that stands in the good Catholicks way and ought to be knocked on the Head and sent out of the world and therefore it is no injury to Rob and Murder them In Page 29. he makes a great Noise about the King's Nativity and says I have calculated it for which he doth not a little Abuse me with his unmannerly Billingsgate Complements and says also that I have predicted the King's Death Yet after all he tells the world that the King's Nativity is not known Why is not this next door to Nonsense For me to do a Nativity that is not known But if it be known or believed to be so the King is the less beholding to that scandalous Fellow Gadbury who printed it the year 1659. But he gives us one special Reason and he says that must serve for all why the Nativity he printed was not the Kings true one and that is No Imperial Nativity can have the Moon in the twelfth House Now how far he would strain the word Imperial I know not I suppose he means not less than a Crowned Head and in that sence I will take it Now observe if you look into the Collection of Genitures printed by Mr. J. Gadbury pag. 23. there you shall find that Henry the second King of France had both Sun and Moon in the twelfth House and in Page 52. of the same Book you will find the King of Denmark hath his Sun in the twelfth House and both these printed and published by that ignorant but great Impostor J. G. Now whether he forgot these or impudently asserted this to out-face the matter to make his Master believe that what he hath writ is true I will leave to his own Confession and conclude that a Lyar ought to have a good memory the want of which is it seems this poor Gentlemans misfortune for these were both Imperial Nativities and both Crowned Heads Of which I could give you more Examples were it convenient but two out of his own Book is more than ten out of the most Authentick Author in being and proves the Fellows Impudence the greater In Page 30. he basely abuseth me when he says that I doom'd the French King to Death three years ago which is false for I never had any Discourse with him in three years before that except September the 9th 1685. and then we had no discourse of that nature So that I perceive he had it by hear-say or else he made it to serve the turn at this time but be it how it will I suppose there is an ingenious Gentleman living near Ludgate that can justifie me in this that I shall now say and he understands Astrology well Mr. C. B. who is the Gentleman I mentioned before met me in March or April 1685. in an evening between Lydgate and St. Pau's And after other Discourse about Nativities he asked me if the King of France would dye that year and if I had ever said so I told him that he had two very bad Directions then coming up but I durst not be positive concerning his Death but I did believe if he did not dye yet he would very narrowly escape it but I had never said positively that he would dye And in this thing that Gentleman if he pleaseth can do me Justice till I can come to do my self Justice upon this Lying pittiful Fellow Now let any man that observed that year and the French King's Affairs remember in what condition he was between October that year and April or May the year following when he lay in that wretched fulsom Condition that as the Letters gave us an account he stunk and was noisome to his Attendants by reason of that Distemper in Ano yet it held him about a year and more but the greatest danger was in the first six Months Now the reason why I could not be positive whether he would live or dye was from directions he then had to operate that I had not had Experience of neither doth Gadbury know any thing of it to this day But I remember a certain Gentleman that I could name went to Gadbury after the late King dyed and asked

he had confest so little of the design Now pray consider What Protestant Prince or Princess can be safe in England while this Fellow remains unbanished or unhanged for he that did confederate with Popish Villains like himself to murder CHARLES the Second for no other reason but because they supposed him to be a Protestant will undoubtedly do it to those that he is sure are so and make less scruple of it too because it is to serve the holy Cause in their hopeless condition In 1685 on Sept. 9. two Romanists and my self being at his house he shewed us a Popish Bishops Picture and said that now the true Religion was coming in again it was no crime to shew an honest mans picture with divers such Expressions that were undeniably sufficient to prove him a Papist for if Popery were the true Religion he was a grand fool if he were not of it if he did intend to be saved but besides this he hath in divers of his late Scriblings and especially his Reply given many good Reasons sufficient to prove him a declared Papist So that this is the fourth time he hath found it convenient to change his opinion and the fifth time he Renegado-like hath changed his Religion as if he made a Trade of it So that now he is reduced to the principles of his original Spawn his Mother being a Papist of whom I could tell you a pleasant Story to shew that he still retains the principles of her insatiate lust However the Papists have the honor to see this worthy member added to their Church he that is as great a blemish to the Protestant Religion as Sam. Parker is and both of them a scandal to any but that of Rome I should first come to answer his Popish Objections and lying Assertations in the Months but that they are so notorious and impudent that whosoever reads will guess at the man and his meanings for he is to oppose all that I have writ and give it the Lye that he may the better incourage the foolish Papists and others converted in the great work that the Gentleman you wot of will not dye in October next that is in 1688. for on his life or death depends the whole Affair and for all his noise he now makes he will tell you a year hence about the time he is to change his Religion again that he knew it too but would not speak of it He ridicules and denies the Hurrycane at Whitehall in March and April last when there was such a turning out of the Court Officers almost to Admiration He denies Ireland to be in distress as I mentioned it in the Month of May he quarrels with and denies the Defeat of the Turk which I predicted in July he denies the quarrel and difference at Rome which I predicted in August which was the time that the Quietists made the first noise and the Cardinals bearded the Pope about it He also denies the preferment of a Right-lined Clergy-man in October which I predicted but he forgets the Popish B. of Chester being sent to Oxford in Commission at that time In December I predicted Persecution but he says there neither was nor could be any such thing I wonder what he calls turning out so many brave learned men at Magdalen College and forbidding them to Exercise all and every part of the Ministerial Function or to be Tutors Schoolmasters c. and all because they would not perjure themselves and turn Papists is not this persecution No no 't is Popish Mercy and Kindness This is but a short Answer to his twelve months which I beg him to accept and promise to give him a Longer as soon as I come to England Some of the same that Collonel Mansel gave him The Chronology asserted and the Lying Juggler refuted in all his Objections c. PAge 2. Since Phocas Murdered his Master Here the fellow begins with a flourish and makes an offer as if he intended to Huff us into submission and calls in Platina and Heylyn for his Authors As if by asking whether I had ever seen them were Authority enough for the people to rely on what he says But I will take the pains to examin him and in doing that I will prove him a Lyar. First he tells us that Phocas did not make Boniface Pope but found him so Secondly that the Title of Vniversal Bishop was given to the Bishops of Rome in the time of Marcian the Emperor by the Council of Chalcedon And thirdly that Phocas did not give but justly preserved the Title of Vniversal Bishop to the See of Rome Which are all three notorious Lyes as you shall quickly see This first is false because Phocas did not find Boniface Bishop but Boniface found Phocas Emperor for when Phocas had by his Murder got the Empire Gregory the Great sate in the Episcopal Chair after whom succeeded Sabinianus and Boniface succeeded him so that Boniface came to be Bishop of Rome not Pope observe that about the fifth year of Phocas as you may see by Helvicus so that Phocas was Emperor before Boniface was Bishop The second is false because the Council of Chalcedon gave the Bishop of Rome no Power nor Title but that of Primacy and by vertue of that he was to take place of the Bishop of Constantinople and all other Bishops in publick and private Affairs but no Universal Title And if the Juggler pleaseth to observe John Bishop of Constantinople had been nibbling at this Universal Title before in which case Gregory the Great declared that it was Antichristian and that whosoever assumed that Title was the fore-runner of Antichrist So that you see this ignorant fellon knows not how to distinguish between a Primacy of Order and a Vniversal Jurisdiction between the Bishop of Rome being acknowledged for the first Bishop and his claiming to be Universal Bishop over all Churches The first was granted to the Roman See before but this last Boniface the third alias Antichrist did first obtain of Phocas the Murderer But for a further confirmation of this truth I have here delivered let us see what Heylyn says because the Juggler hath made use of his name and called him into his assistance He likewise gives all those before Boniface no other Title but Bishops of Rome pray mark that and also makes Boniface the first of the Popes of whose predecessor Sabinianus he says this This is the last of the Roman Bishops not having that arrogant Title of Vniversal Bishop or Head of the Church By all which it is plain that there was no such Title as Universal Bishop before Boniface the third nor no Pope till Phocas made him so by giving him that Antichristian arrogant Title The third must naturally be false because it is deduced from the two false positions preceding But here the Juggler doth as all other Sycophants do he gives villanous Actions soft Expressions He says Phocas did not give but justly preserve the Title
