sport of Mousing they will ever be lovers of a Commonwealth and enemies to Monarchy This is plain from former as well as later proceedings since the discovery of the Popish Plot when they began to shew themselves in their proper colours when they cry'd not only the Court but the Church was Popish and all that are for the establish'd Government You cannot now be loyal unless you be factious nor a Protestant if no Presbyterian But pray observe none tell you this but the spawn of those seduc'd or concern'd in the late Rebellion men turn'd out or that wou'd get into Court-Imployments that account themselves slighted or disoblig'd men of great Ambition or of desperate Fortunes who make all this noise and clutter to be taken off To what purpose else did the late House of Commons make the Vote against the bargain or hopes of Court-preferment but that such a design was driving between some leading Members and Courtiers Can they after such a discovery pretend zeal for Religion and the good of their Countrey For shame let not Faction and private Interest make men forgetful of the publick of the peace and quiet of the Nation Let them secure our Constitutions against the encroachments or invasions of any whether Presbyter or Papist and remember that the most forward in the Long Parliament were soon turn'd out by others and because what is Sawce for a Goose is Sawce for a Gander this of course will be the fate of those who now glory in being Ringleaders of Faction to thwart and oppose their Sovereign Nay it may possibly be worse the Gentlemen the Knights of the Shires may be kick'd out by Mechanicks by Citizens and Burgesses for he that practiseth Disobedience to his Superiours teacheth it to his Inferiours Sir W. I. Sir F. W. Collonel T. c. all know were disoblidg'd and if taken into favour the Employments and Honours they covet wou'd stand up for the Court as much as now they do against it Whether the Petitioning Lords be not of the same temper will best appear from the story of every single person One of them has the humour convey'd with 's Bloud His Father was a Gentleman that appear'd zealous in the long Parliament for the good of his Countrey the first that brought in the complaint of Ship-money But soon after when he was made a Lord and a Courtier he chang'd notes and sung another song no man more for the Monarchy in its defence he lost his life and at his death publickly repented his actings against the Earl of Strafford His Son was made an Earl upon the Kings return sent Ambassador Abroad and Lord Lieutenant into Ireland to get this Command be dispis'd not the Courtship and assistance of Coll. T. though a R. C. and a Creature of his R. H. to whom he made no slender professions not being satisfied with gaining vastly in that Station five years he grew peevish in hopes of being sent the second time nay rather than fail he is content to be Commissioner of the Treasury in hopes that by the Courtship and Interest of some Women no matter what Religion they are of he may come to be Lord Treasurer But not like to gain the White Staffe and perhaps not caring to govern an empty Exchequer he bent his thoughts again towards Ireland slighting the Treasury he is outed and grows more discontented and at last turn'd out of Council the next day he repeats a Speech of E. of S. his making and unask'd presents a piece of Councel and Advice to his Soveraign pretending as a Peer it was his duty I am sorry his zeal made him forget that Peers have no right of advising the King but when he makes them of his Council or by Writ Summons 'em to Parliament And what 's very odd he advises just the contrary to what he and the other Noble E. had done the year before when Courtiers This Noblemans Life wou'd make a Comical History he knows how to put on all shapes and in the late times was not ignorant how to make an Apple-tree supply the place of a Pulpit he knew how to serve himself in all turns and changes and he has not fail'd since 1640. to have been often out and in with the several Higher Powers To give him his due he is a man of extraodinary parts but if one of these Lords said true when he was a Courtier and the other newly remov'd they are all fitted and turn'd for confounding and amusing but not for extricating out of difficulties He wants not Wit to hold forth in the House or in the open Air upon occasion nor is he meanly Skill'd in the Methods of Court-Pleasures as well as Business He must have an ill memory that forgets who advis'd the breaking of the Triple-League and making an Alliance with France and a War with Holland pronouncing in the Language of the Beast Delenda est Carthago that a Dutch Commonwealth was too near a Neighbour to an English Monarch the shutting up the Exchequer the granting Injunctions in the case of the Bankers and lastly the sourse of all of our present misfortunes the general Indulgence These things being found of ill consequence and the Ministers remov'd as designers of Popery Presbytrie Atheism or Irreligion Arbitrary or French Govermnent must any of such Principles assoon as turn'd out of Court be receiv'd into the Countrey as if these two had different Interests Whoever say there is more than one Common-weal in both are Deluders and Incendiaries and Betrayers of the Nation Those that strive to divide the King and his people are to be look'd upon as pensioners of France and to be most severely punish'd There are that can tell Tales what Great man since the Plot offer'd a Reconciliation with the D. and for a Restoration to his former Power and Greatnesse wou'd be his servant to all intents and purposes But the D. cou'd not be perswaded one that had as often chang'd Parties as Proteus his shapes and the Chamaelion his Colours cou'd be true to any Interest but his own and therefore rejected his many Messages on this subject Another Peer whose Son is in the Lower House is the great Tribune of the people wou'd have had a Dukedom added to the Garter to make both Sing to another Tune A fourth wou'd fain be a Privy Councellor in Reversion A fifth not long since at any rate of purchase wou'd have been Master of the House to the Duke Strange that a Protestant Lord shou'd think of serving a suppos'd Popish Prince and after hope though thus mounted on Horseback to get to Heaven It wou'd be tedious to give particular accounts of all only by the way observe that a Young Lord newly come to Age own'd himself to his Majestie Disoblig'd because after a Voyage to Tangier his great Valour there shown And spending his youth in his Princes Service these were his own words to the King another was preferr'd to the Command of the Lord
