fail at a pinch to afford their King a Cordial Sup or furnish him wherewith to hold out one Summer more But says he if a General Excise was settled that would be such a large and lasting Fund as would fright him into a Compliance when he saw no end of the War W. Nor any end should he have till I were Master both of Him and the Confederates too could I get that but how shall I come by it B. Why thus Sir You see your Parliament grow troublesome and factious and I know not how you can trust another and therefore make this serve for a●l and be troubled with no more for them W. Gods Sacrament 〈◊〉 would give the Kingdom of ●co●land to be ●id of the Parliament of En●l●nd f●● know how t●ach me but this trick and I 'll d●ny thee no h●ng b●t my Th●one nay th●u shalt not want an Intered of share in that wh●r● in it may ●erve thee B. Sir It must be a shaft winged with their own Feathers that must give the Fatal wound You know your Par●i●ment by their own Act draw towards an End Great lawye●s say it is ●●ss●●ved already however as matters go ●ere can be expected but o●e Sessions more and therefore a soon as you return at their next M●eting spare for no Cost give wh●t the lowdest ●nd mo●● extravagant A h●rs can desi●e for 〈…〉 be at that Trouble or Charge to 〈◊〉 again and all shall be your own W. I would throw away a Bra●e or two of 〈…〉 that I 'm g●●●g●t a General Excise set●●●d But what if they should settle ●t but for some Years B. Never fear that we w●ll make it everlasting if we can once get it of any fashion And perhaps it is not so difficult a thing to get ●s you imagine Some of them know that they shall never be Chosen again if another Parliament were call'd and these w●ll play their last Game to their utmost Advantage Some of them are so b●se and beggarly that they would not sti●k to sell their Country for Twenty Guineas Some are desperately in your Interest and must comply with what you Resolve Many are your Pensioners and many accustomed to be greazed and I scarce think there are any who will be ablet to refuse Gold enough but if any such there be their Number is in considerable they will be laughed at by the rest and may be undone first You are not bound to make all The Major Vote will do your Business W. And I will have it if Mony will do it B. When this is done Parliaments will be reedless to you and hateful to their Country so that there will be no danger in laying them aside Then placing your Troops conveniently by degrees make Forreigners the Gatherers of it who will not sp●●e the Natives and best know how to serue it to the Height and will make you a trusty A●my if occasion require Then putting faithful Carrisons in Portsmouth Hull and Plymouth and other places of Strength you may privately invite Forreig●ers by way of Trade to pour in till they over-power the Natives and keep them under and if any Great or Small do but so much as grumble behead or hang them and dispose of their Lands and Fortunes to your sure Dependents till you have rooted out their Nobil●ty and Gentry and when you have brought things to this pass you may have what you will and do what you will W. A General Exc●se I think would enable me for this But what if I fail in the Project B. I hope you will not but if the worst come to the worst then you must watch the breaking of the Confederacy and exchange all the Forces you can or buy them and s●nd them over speedily hither with promise of Estates Arme all the Refugees and Strangers Secure the Ports in such way as we discoursed before and then with the Sword in your hand you may take what they would not give and if any Stir against you it will be your Advantage to destroy them and their Families and gratify your Followers with their Estates And all this you may do with a few Veterane Forces which you may have when you please and if you need Recruits there are not less than a Hundred thousand Forreigners in the Kingdom who will be at your devotion and afford you a Select Stock upon all occasions And who shall be able to stir or molest you when you have a formed Army and Secured all Avenues W. I do not see but this may take if closely and resolutely followed B. But Sir There is one thing I had almost forgot The Fleet with Russel in the Mediterane●n Though the Confederacy should hold it cannot stay long there and yet it must not come home till you have effected your Designs of which if you should fail and then the Devil deceives me it were well if the matter were so contrived That that Fleet were given to the Dutch which will eternally oblige them to you and m●ke them Superiour to both English and French by Sea but I think that matter ought to be further Consulted with the old Stanch Politick Cabal at the 〈◊〉 In the mean time continue to carry away every thing that is good for any thing It will be some revenge to have Beggar'd the English if you cannot Rule them and will procure you Friends abroad and you will be ready furnished to set your Tools at work and wait the opportunity of another Turn here o● elsewhere W. Well My Benting I am resolv'd I fear neither Scotch nor Irish so I can get the Absolute Domonion over the English and if all the Arts of Man or all the Powers of Hell can effect it I will not fa●l of it But if like Phaeton I must drop it is some Satisfaction to have set the World on Fire and as for this Cursed England if I must bid Adieu to it I will first so pill strip and ransa●k it that I will not leave it worth King James's or any other Man's having But come My Faithful Benting enough for this time Let us now go and refresh our selves and drink a Chearful Glass to our good success in prosecuting the Designs we have now Consulted on B. I am always ready to attend Your Majesty Exit Tyrannus c. FINIS
