obviate your Elections to 〈◊〉 and cut off your Succession to the Chair Nay perhaps they would Resolve to burn the Votes and Journals of the two last Houses that your braver Affronts and oppositions to Princes may be no Advantage or Precedent to Posterity Phan. Sir I know the warm Temper of my own Members and that they have such a prurient Lust after Madam Respublica that they have a State Priapism and will stand as long as the Lower House is open and they shall never want the provocatives of Aurum Potabile for I will contribute as freely to raise a Parliament against the King as ever I did to levy Arms against him for I cannot well do this without the other Pope Truly Brother I begin to fear that the King will out-wit us both with all our Cabals and Cardinals That the Duke of York is a Romish Bigot is not so infallibly resolv'd at Rome as it is in Westminster What would you say if after all our noise the D. of Y. should declare to be no Papist and your D. of M. prove a decoy Protestant and that the Popery of the one and the Compliance of the other was onely an Intrigue to betray us both What 's the matter Phan. A little Faint Sir Pope Ho' Staffiere fetch me quickly some Elixir Libertatis Proprietatis Come what cheer now Phan. This will recover me But truly you conjur'd up such a Formidable Apparition that though I knew it to be but an Vmbra yet it had such a horrid Aspect that it almost frighted me into a Deliquium Pope I wish it may be onely a Phantom but what would you do if it should prove a Reality Phan. Why such a Miracle of Policy might perchance work another Wonder as great as that and convert me to Loyalty and Obedience but if my nature render such a Change impossible there were no living under so great a Sham and therefore when the Duke of York deserts you and the Duke of Mon forsakes me I will take the liberty to hang my self and so I shall yet live and dye in an Arbitrary way and both in Life and Death affront the Government Pope But what think you of sending the D. of Y. into Scotland Phan. I wish he were banish'd out of your Dominions and ours and yet I think you challenge a Jurisdiction over all the Kingdoms of the Earth besides the Territories of Purgatory I would you had him upon the Scala Santa at Rome or we upon a Scaffold on Tower-hill any where so he were not upon the same Terra Firma My Scottish Brethren say that he is posted like the threatning Angel at the Gates of Eden with a flaming Sword that turns to North and South and was planted there on purpose to stop their Passage and prevent their Return to Paradise Pope But do you really design to enthrone your D. of M. and ever trust that Lord of the Sun Tavern with the Chariot and Ranies of Government Phan. No Truly We know the natural Sons of Princes are begotten in an Arbitrary way against the Proceedings of Law and Property and therefore they are commonly born with an unhappy Inclination to unlimited Government and it is not Empire but Common-wealth that we are designing But you and I must have lost our ancient Politick if we cannot embroil one Monarchy by the divided names of two opposite Dukes Pope What think you of the Condition of Tangier In my Opinion the King 's securing that place without your Aid and against your Will was a mighty instance of his Power and Policy His gallant Fleet in the Mediterranean his victorious Arms at Tangier have made his name glorious in the Levant and I believe the Emperour of Morocco tho one of the Heads of the Dragon yet dare not address to him with so much Rudeness as the Tail of a House of Commons Phan. The preserving Tangier from the Assault of the Moors was one of the blackest Misfortunes that ever befell us for our Confederates in Africa intrench'd before that Town in a very Critical Juncture and if they had carried the place while my House of Comets were blazing it would have given us a brave Advantage to have storm'd the Throne for then we would have clamor'd against the King and charg'd him with the Ruine of our Levant Trade we would have brought the Loss of that Town into the Popish Plot and accus'd some Romish Officers for betraying the place to Infidels This would have so much lessen'd the King's Reputation both at home and abroad and so much serv'd our Interest in the promoting of popular Complaints that we could not have wish'd a happier Event but to preserve the place and to triumph too was so great a Disappointment that I begin to fear the old Prince of the Blacks will deceive us Indeed there was a time when we would have annex'd that Place to the Crown for fear it should have been remov'd into the Exchequer but to speak San's Complement I had rather Tangier should have been annex'd to the Crown Imperial of Morocco than to the Crown Imperial of England Pope Before we part I thing my self oblig'd to give you my Thanks for some late eminent Services First For your vigorous Pursuit of the excluding Bill There were some hundreds of years from the first Date of Anno Domini which are commonly call'd the first four Centuries when you and I had not a Being in the World In those days the Plain Christians kept themselves to the old fashion'd Modes of Primitive Christianity and observ'd the meaner Habits of Meekness Humility and Patience with a tame Subjection to secular Powers and tho sometimes they had the Command of Forts and Castles and valiant Armies yet they were so silly as to truckle to a Pagan Successor and suffer him to ascend the Throne without any Affront or Disturbance But you and I have learn'd braver Principles and taught the World that Dominion is founded in Grace that is in your Favour and Mine Now if like these Primitive Fools you had left the Throne to the Right and Descent of Law and Nature and to the quiet disposure of Providence then I am confident if the Duke had surviv'd the King that he would never have render'd his short Reign uneasie by removing the Boundaries of an establish'd Religion and Government but would have thought himself oblig'd in Generosity to have been Defender of that Faith and of that People who had never given him the least Disquiet I am not yet assur'd that the Duke is a Zealot in my Religion but you do well to report him to be so and you have taken a Course to make him one and I thank you for that That which next merits my Thanks is your Bill for uniting Protestants for you have so ingeniously contriv'd the Project that it will equally serve your Interest and mine for you only exclude the Roman Tongue but in others allow a Confusion of Languages and suffer every Division to enjoy their own Dialect and yet by an Almighty Vote resolve that ninety and nine Divisions shall be but one single Unite and the same Idiom Brother if ever you can effect this I will grant you to be a greater Conjurer than I and that you have out-done the mystery of Transubstantiation This politick Stratagem would introduce so great a Confusion into the Church of England that many wiser men would come over to Rome and think it the better Babel of the two In my opinion your uniting Device does far exceed a Toleration for that would leave the Church of England to enjoy it's distinct Order and Establishment but this cunning Contrivance and mystical Union would confound the Glory and Discipline of that Church which is the greatest Envy of Rome and Geneva I have yet no hopes to repeal the 23. but I thank you for your endeavours of repealing the 35th of Eliz. That Fundamental establishing Law of rank Protestant Religion I do dispence with your observing of Queen Elizabeth's day and the pompous burning of my Effigies so you will but damn the Statutes of Jesabel for that was her ancient Title among yours and mine I hope next Parliament tho you meet in a new place you will pursue your old Votes and Resolutions Phan. We call it Popery to confess an Error and scorn the Superstition of Repentance we have already offended beyond the hopes of Oblivion and have no other method to secure our Indemnity but by proceeding to higher Crimes Pope Well dear Brother I must leave you a while to divert your melancholy Thoughts with the pleasant Prospects of the Frescati I have appointed a Consult with my Cardinals about the Liberties of the Gallican Church and the Regalities of Franee and I will leave it to your Care to undermine the Prelacy and Prerogatives of the Church and Monarchy of England FINIS The Pope's Countrey-House Villages where the Pope and Cardinals have their Country Houses
