Shrewsbury To the Right Honourable Sir Richard Levett Kt. Lord Mayor And to the Right Worshipful the Aldermen and Sheriffs of the City of London I Hope the same Noble Disposition which has inspir'd you bravely on all occasions to demonstrat your Zeal for the Preservation of the present Government by supporting the best of Kings will induce you favourably to look on and protect this short but true Narrative of the most socret and subtile Design of the late Reign which was a Contrivance so deeply laid to root out the Protestant Religion and all things else valuable to every true English Man that nothing but the mighty power and favour of God could deliver this Nation from I hope there can be no Danger of a Relapse And verily believe there will not unless Sins and Ignorance rule the People of this Land into a Lethargy of Security You Gentlemen are the Rulers over a great People and it is much in your power by your Authority and Example to preserve the lasting Peace of this Kingdom Therefore I humble beg your partronage of this piece which as a strange Mountain bids Defiance to all its Opposers And the Truth thereof may at one time be more powerful than the Arms of a Popish pretender and thereby be of Vse to you and your posterity May Almighty GOD long preserve the present King under whose Care you and your famous City are sure of peace and Prospetity it is the Prayers of Your most Devoted and Obedient Servant W. FULLER The PREFACE SInce the happy Conclusion of the Peace that many of your Nation have had their Tours into France It is very observeable how strangely the Mouths of some come back are filled with the mighty Actions of that Heroick Gentleman pretended Prince of Wales they seem so to adore him that were he truly what they pretend King James's or His Queens Son as he is neither these Gentlemen could not exceed their flattering Praises It must be confess'd That Pomp and Shew often makes Men seem what they are not and so it does here For this young Spark being by the late King and Queen own'd as their Son as soon as Born of Mrs. Gray it behoves them to mantain him as such whilst there is any hopes of imposing him to the Advantage of the Roman Catholick Cause which was the first Ground of their Design and even at this day is no less than what the Jesuits and Priests both at Home and Abroad do very confidently affirm will answer their design of settling Popery in this Kingdom in a short time Being my self in July last at Antwerp and conversing there with several English Priests and Jesuits particularly one Father Hunter a Jesuit the only English in the great and famous Colledge there he told me plainly That however Matters seem'd to stand against the Interest of the Church of Rome at this time He question'd not but to hear Mass said a Hundred times in St. Paul's Church in London before he Died adding for one Reason That he was much younger than King William and hoping to out live him he saw no other obstacle in their way most of the other Jesuits and Priests gave their Opinion to the same Effect and seem'd to speak not of their own Judgment barely but according to their Advice from England c.
