His Address to the Reader he calls to the Courteous Reader for indeed the Reader must be very courteous that takes notice what he says and tells him he is to examine a Pamphlet which is singular in its kind He means something else whatever it is help him Mrs. Cellier For certainly this was not the first detection that ever was made of Popish Conspiracy and Treason in England and therefore not singular in its kind But he endeavours to explain himself saying It is an Original for its Author found none to copy and he hopes none will ever copy him In truth I don't understand him yet 't was very discourteously done to chop Nonsence upon a courteous Reader at the first dash It was a violent strain to usher in a Quibble But whatever the Vindicator meant the Author of the Original never meant it should be other He does well to confess it an Original for then you may be sure it was the Authors own No work he says so like the True Narrative as Lucians True History What did this Fool mean to bring the True Narrative and Lucian's True History together between which there is no more Paralell or Similitude than between an Oyster and a Pippin If he did it to shew his Learning he is cursedly mistaken to conclude the falshood of the true Narrative from the truth of Lucians true History For to tell him the truth Lucian 's true History is no true History so that by the force of his Antithesis Lucians true History being feigned the True Narracive must be true However like one that never read Lucians true History he essayes to make out his Comparison and sayes Lucians true History is witty the True Narrative stupid Go on That delights this grieves That laughs this bites A very pretty description of a true History However in so doing it did the Office it was intended for it did both grieve and bite but none but those that deserved it which was a greater Argument of its being true than any the Vindicator has brought out of Lucian to prove it false So that I am apt to believe this Conceit of the Vindicators was conceived in his Heel as Lucian in his True History tells ye the Men in the Moon conceived and not in his Head However he has placed it in the Forefront of his Battel to shew ye the strength of his Imagination He sayes He never saw the man Non imperte and so knows nothing of him but by hear-say and his works which discover his better part his soul I find the shallow Vindicators Prospective-glass was too short to discover his Soul but as to his Body it being allowable among the Iesuits to abuse those they never saw in their lives he adds That his Physiognomy in a Pamphlet is said to be an Index to all Villany and that any letter'd man may read Rogue in his face This denotes in the Vindicator two Jesuitical perfections Malice and Rascality from the single authority of a Pamphlet to call a man Rogue that he never saw in his life And who wrote this Pamphlet A certain Fortune-teller of their own Gang. A very easie way of defamation to borrow Reproaches from one another However there be that say if they had had his face they would not have chang'd it with any of the five Jesuits that were hang'd Certain it is that being presented to the Bishop of St. Omers for Confirmation he stopt when he came to Oats because he doubted whether his heart was prepared to receive the Holy Ghost the Spirit of Love in whose face He perceived signs of great Malice It seems then the Vindicator Berogu'd the man he never saw by his own Confession upon trust the more Knave he for his pains for he was not certain of the first but he is certain of This. And what does this signifie As if the Bishop of St. Omers spoke nothing but Gospel Men must be scandaliz'd by such Enemies to Truth as the Vindicator because such disciples of Artemidorus as the Bishop of St. Omers shoot their fools bolts at Random against a Young Scholars face An excellent Reward for a Proselite that came to be admitted into their foppish Religion But to return your Bishop Physiognomie for his Physiognomie St. Francis one of his great Saints was such a contemptible ill-look't beetle-brow'd fellow that when he came to Innocent the Third for the Confirmation of his Rule the Pope bid him go wallow with the Hogs for whom he was fitter company than for men and not trouble him with his Rules So much may the Pope much more the Bishop of St. Omers be deceived in Humane Physiognomie The Vindicator goes on He stiles himself quoth he Doctor of Divinity and sayes he commenced Doctor at Salamanca Which cannot be First for he never was at Salamanca To which the Doctor answers That it may be for First he was at Salamanca Now whether the Doctors Argument be not as good as the Vindicators I leave to any ordinary Logician Nay it is more probable that the Doctor should know whether he was at Salamanca or no than a man that never saw him in his life Secondly None but Priests saith He are admitted to that Degree in Catholick Vniversities and he never was a Priest To this the Doctor makes answer that the Vindicator is in a very great errour For that Father Landayada when he was only a Clericus Minor was made a Doctor and that he was not made a Priest till some time afterwards But the Doctor could not stay for his Priesthood because of his urgent occasions in England Then the Vindicator tells ye a story of the Archbishop of Tuam how the Doctor wrote to him for Holy Orders which the Bishop deny'd him because of the ill Charracter he heard of his Life and Manners Who does this Vindicator write to certainly not to the Protestants and then what does his Vindication signifie Here is an Irish Priest that pretends to an Archbishoprick in the King of Englands Dominions to which he has no more right than Tom Thumb one that lives under the ill Character of an Exile a Renegado one that has renounc'd his Allegiance to his Soveraign and as a Foreigner gives Him only the Title of Most Serene King of Great Britain and because this Hedge Archbishop would not give the Doctor what he had no Power or authority to conferre and to excuse himself pretends an ill Character of the Doctor therefore this must pass for currant 'T is easily believ'd that they who usurp all the good Characters to themselves have none to spare for the Doctor the Capital Enemy of their Treasons and Impieties It argues nothing but meer spite and malice to lay general Accusations against a mans Physiognomy and reproach him with the general Term of an ill Character when they lay nothing in particular to his charge And so good night to this silly Objection Thirdly He had not Learning sufficient for any Degree in a Catholick
were no such Letters therefore he could not read the Contents This is just like their silly pleading at Newgate In the Third Article he has found a nest of Lyes no less than Four at a time denying That Ashly Blondel and the Two Peters ' s sent Twelve Scholars into Spain Eight to Valladolid and Four to Madrid as appear'd by their several Patents who were obliged by the Iesuits to renounce their Allegiance to His Majesty of Great Britan in the hearing of the Deponent 1. Because the Students are never sent away by any but the Rector or Vice-Rector With the Vindicator's favour the Jesuits have no such Laws of the Medes and Persians but which the Rector or the Provincial may dispence with upon occasion Besides the Rector has his Consultores or Assistants whom he may employ to act for him 2. Never any Patent among Iesuits had more than one name There 's nobody says to the contrary If Twelve Scholars have Twelve Patents what need of more than one Name in a Patent 3. Because there is not one word of renunciation in the Oath of those Colledges Who said there is They might renounce their Allegiance to the King and yet not take the Colledge-Oath 4. He could not hear a thing done in a place where he never was but he never was at Madrid therefore But he was at Madrid in spite of your Teeth Ergo. Nor could the Dr. hear it done at Valladolid for the Oath is never tendered to the Novices till they have past a whole year in that place You mistake the point Sir the Dr. talks not of the Oath he speaks of the Renunciation without which their very admittance would have defil'd the Colledge He denies as being Two more Lyes That Dr. Armstrong brought Letters subscribed by Five Iesuits in which was expressed that the Iesuits in London intended to dispose of the King 1. Because those Letters were sign'd by more than the Rector For which he brings his former Attestation of Iohn an Okes and Iohn a Stiles What a strange thing this is He will not allow Five men to subscribe their own Letters 2. Because there never was any such thing contain'd in those Letter as they protest who wrote them As by their Attestations appears He denies that Suiman wrote that the King of England was poyson'd Upon what ground Why because neither Suiman nor any other person ever heard such news He denies that Strange Gray and Keines wrote in a Letter to Suiman that they were using all diligence to get the King dispatch'd 1. Because it is false that ever Strange writ any such Letter as appears by his own Attestation 2. Because it is false that the Dr. was ever at Madrid which they prove by Three Attestations of their own drawing He denies that at the same time at Madrid the Deponent ever saw a Letter from Strange Grey Keines Langworth Fenwick Ireland and Harcourt wherein they exprest their sorrow the business was not done through the faint-heartedness of their man William 1. Because he was never there 2. Because it was against the custom of Iesuits already repeated But this was upon an extraordinary occasion and besides they were then in a place where they were not tied to observe Customs 3. Because there never was any such Letter as by their own attestations appears I marry Sir here 's the Sparring Argument at last He denies That Pedro Hieronymo de Corduba Provincial of New-Castile sent a Letter by the Deponent to Strange wherein he promised Ten thousand pound for their pains if they could get the business dispatch'd 1. Because P. H. de Corduba was never Provincial of New-Castile 'T is not a straw matter whither he were or no. 2. Because he left Valladolid upon the 30th of October and not the Third of November The Vindicator was hard put to 't to cavil so strictly for a day 3. Here 's their old friend in a corner that never fails 'em because there was no such Letter as their own Knight o' the post avers But besides this there are Three improbabilities in the case That the Provincial of Castile should go about to allure the English Iesuits with such a reward who needed rather a Bridle than Spurs You are still upon mistakes the Money was not to reward the Jesuits Ten thousand pound was a Fleabite to what they expected but to shew there should be no want of Money should their Chapmen ask too dear 2. That he who could not dispose of any money out of his Province should promise them such a sum By your favour Sir but he might when it was money entrusted in his hands and left to his disposal upon such and such an accompt 3. That he should trust the Dr. with such a Letter whom he had newly cast out of the Colledge That very thing argues all you have said about the Doctors Expulsion to be a St. Omers Lye which exceed our English Lyes Ten times as much in bigness as one of your Onions surpasses ours Thus Gentlemen you have seen what this Nickapoop of scurrilous Vindicator has hitherto called Lyes and how he has proved them 'T was not so because it was not so 't was not so because it could not be so and it could not be so because they themselves say so Ergo. Now I would fain know of you good Mr. Vindicator whither if you and another as bad as your self should both steal a Horse and your friend escaping you should be taken arraign'd and the matter of fact prov'd I say I would fain know whether if you being asked what you had to say for your self should pretend the Presbyterians stole the Horse or if that would not serve you should protest you knew nothing of the Horses being stolen till you were Indicted and that your confederate that was with you should attest it under his hand that you did not steal the Horse Do you believe that these evasions should save you from being hang'd 'T is an experiment I assure you well worth your coming into England to make tryal of in regard that if you escaped upon those excuses it would very much conduce to strengthen the Arguments of your Vindication and therefore take notice I have made you a fair Invitation we have a Colledg ready furnished for your entertainment CHAP. IV. From the Ninth to the Tenth Article Containing what the Doctor Heard and Read at St. Omers THis is a long Chapter an Oglio dressed by the same Cook without any variety wherein as he proceeds according to his former method the Answers will be the more ready at hand It is averr'd by no meaner a person than Casaubon a man of great Learning and unspotted reputation that a Jesuit in France with his own mouth asserted to him That if Iesus Christ were again upon earth lyable to death as he was and any one should reveal to him as his Confessour that he had a design to kill him before he would reveal that Confession
by meer Divine Right the Pope is supream and sole Monarch of the World and that all Monarchs and Princes are his Vassals which includes his authority in temporals as well as spirituals Insomuch that the Legat of Pope Adrian told Frederick Barbarossa to his face That he held his Empire at the pleasure of the Holy Father which if they did not believe for Gospel and that they were not tyed in greater Bonds of allegiance to the Pope than to their native Princes they would never so often have revolted and renounc'd their fidelity to their Soveraigns as they have done upon every trifling Excommunication from the See of Rome And it would be a ridiculous vanity for the Pope to assume to himself a power of depriving Princes of their Kingdoms which is a supream authority in temporals if he thought the people did not believe themselves bound to obey him in temporals as well as spirituals 'T is the fear of temporal accidents not the spiritual Fulminations that has scar'd so many Princes and brought the Empire of Germany almost to a morsel of Bread But this same Vindicator and his crew are such a parcel of obstinate willful Vermin that they will believe nothing in the World either of History or Reason that makes against them be it never so certain never so plain All the rest of this Chapter is nothing but ribble-rabble as wide from the purpose as Dan from Bersheba Now we are come to the Contradictions and Lyes CHAP. II. A Discovery in the Address to the Reader 'T IS very true here is a prodigious yelping and bawling a hideous Black Sanctus of Lyes and Contradictions Contradictions and Lyes beyond all the yells and dins of Green-Hastings and Mackarel But now I think on 't I can tell what 's the matter the Jesuits are ringing all their Bells backward to raise the Country upon Dr. Oates And yet after all this confounded noise enough to startle all the wild Beasts in a Lybian Forrest the Vindicator tells us not a word what a Lye or a Contradiction is as if that men of sense were such silly Partridges to Cowre under the Lowbells of Jesuitical clamour These Jesuits are a pack of Knaves that must be look'd after 'T is a Thousand pound to a Nutshell but that this deceitful Vindicator may have arraign'd and condemn'd for Lyes and Contradictions those things which are not so and that for Perjury which deserves no such sentence And therefore for the better discovery of the Vindicator's fraud it will not be amiss to produce the several definitions of Contradictio Mendacium and Perjurium that so the Vindicator's pretended accusations being brought to their several Tests the juggles of this St. Omers Pamphleteer may more easily be made apparent A Lye then is that by which a false thing is signified either in word or deed with an intent to deceive A Lyar is one that delights to speak a Falsity which he knows to be so or a Truth which he believes to be false On the other side he is no Lyar who tells a thing that is false which he verily believes to be true he may be said to err not to tell a Lye Now in this first Chapter he tells us the Deponent says The Narrative was presented to His Majesty the 13th of August last and sworn upon the Sixth of September These like a great Knave for 't is fit he should have as good as he brings he calls Two Great Lyes for as to the first he says the Narrative contains things averr'd to have happened upon the 3 4 6 7 and 8 of September following And what of all this The Narrative was presented privately in August at what time and till the Eighth or Ninth of September following the Deponent remained undiscovered To the next he answers That the Dr. and Sir Edmund-bury Godfrey assure it was sworn the Twenty-seventh of September That is false for the date of the Certificate which he carps at is only the date of Sir Edmund-Bury Godfrey's Certificate that it was sworn before him not when it was sworn But suppose these passages had been both false where is the intent of deceiving that made them Lyes The intent of deceiving must have lain in the falsity of the Narratives being actually presented or actually sworn to which being really true the error of a trivial circumstance is but one of your Little Piccadillo's as you call them And now Mr. Vindicator are not you a pitiful idle inconsiderate both Fool and Knave in a vindication of the English Catholicks from so horrid a crime as they lye under which should have been weighty and great so unworthily and Porter-like to give a Gentleman the Lye to posterity upon such silly illiterate pitiful and low-conceited inadvertencies as these Give me leave to tell you Sir you have hitherto shewed us nothing but the symptoms of your future folly and duncery and whereas you are pleased to bespatter the Deponent with such Lackey-like and slovenly Language Dispeream si tu Pyladi prestare matellam Dignus es aut porcos pascere Perithoi CHAP. III. Containing his Informations from Spain IN this Chapter the Vindicator pretends to tell us of abundance of Lyes For as yet I meet with neither Contradictions nor Perjury Observe now how he makes them out He denies that Strange the Provincial Keines Langworth Harcourt and Fenwick did write a Treasonable Letter to Suiman at Madrid concerning the contriving and plotting a Rebellion in Scotland And yet you see there was a Rebellion in Scotland soon after which makes it shrewdly suspicious or in plain English altogether credible But what 's his Reason Because there was never any such Letter How does he prove it By the Attestation of Strange himself the very first person accused of the Plot in the Doctors Narrative And then again he says It never was the practise of the Iesuits that many should sign their Names with the Provincial Neither does the Doctor say any such thing He says they wrote the Letter that is they were present at the Writing of it which is the same thing So that the Attestation of M. K. R. S. C. B. and the rest of his several confederate Iesuits was only a trifle of supererogation He denies that Morgan Wright and Ireland were imployed to preach as Presbyterians to the disaffected Scots c. How does he know all this Because no English Iesuit was ever sent into Scotland Wright was infirm and went into England for his health As if England had not been in his way to Scotland But he was recall'd shortly after How long that might be God knows considering how the Jesuits are able to stretch such a Whitleather word as shortly And as for Morgan and Ireland they never were out of England Just as he denied his being in London because he was in the liberties of Westminster He denies that the Dr. broke up those Letters at Burgos and read the Contents His Reason Because he has told ye there
Paris to call 'em Seducers and Corrupters of Youth To evade which common practice of theirs he says the Iesuits might be beg'd for fools to teach such Doctrine he means rank downright Treason for then they may be hang'd like Knaves for their Labours But for all his tricks and shifts and doubtings let me tell this Pumpkin of a Vindicator that the seed and the fruit are very different in shape and yet the seed sends forth the fruit From this discourse of so many Letters he takes an occasion to aim full at the Deponents face and thinks to give him a mauling rub You seem saith he quite through your Fabulous Narrative to represent St. Omers as the center of Iesuits Transactions when they that know St Omers know 't is the worst serv'd with Letters of any considerable Town in the Low-Countries Well Gaffer Fabulous what would you infer from all this You infer more than you can answer from what the Deponent has sworn but not believing that enough you would be inferring to the same purpose from what he never said He does not accuse St. Omers for being the center of all the Jesuits Transactions nor the Center of the World nor the Center of Europe or any Center But indeed since you put us in mind of it it seems to have been the Nursery of the Conspiracy But what 's the meaning of this impertinet Insinuation To prove that there were no Treasonable Letters sent to St. Omers because they are so ill serv'd by the Post. Silly Mortals what need had they of the Post who had such a trusty Messenger as the Deponent He denies that upon receipt of the above-mentioned Letters the Treasonable words were spoken by Nevil and Fermor in the Iesuits Library at St. Omers or that the Deponent heard them For saith he the words were never spoken when the Letters were receiv'd because there were no such Letters This with the Vindicators leave I take to be direct Nonsense When the Letters were receiv'd there were no such Letters But let it be what it will he has three Attestations E. K. Q. to make it out And lest they should fail he puts his hand in his Pouch pulls out a Contradiction Here I had thought to have produced the definition of a contradiction But because this is only a contradiction of the Vindicators own framing I shall defer that trouble till a better opportunity He says the Letters must be written upon Ian. 1 2 but takes the longest time and then appeals to the Post-master whether a Letter could come in 24 hours from England to St. Omers I know not what necessity there was that the Letters should be written upon the first of Ianuary The Deponent swears no such thing but he swears he heard the words spoken upon the third of Ianuary and tells ye where 't is no matter when the Letters were written And now what think you Sir are not these pretty Fables to trouble the world with You might have very well spar'd your Calculation and your Appeal unless they had been more to the purpose But he says the Deponent went on the third of Ianuary in the morning to Watten and dined there as appears by the Day-book of the Seminary and therefore could not be at St. Omers that Afternoon A worthy Record indeed and much for the Honour of St. Omers when they 're at such a pinch to bring their waste-paper in Evidence What low and ridiculous thoughts has this Vindicator of mankind to think that sense and reason would suffer themselves to be sway'd by the Day-book of the Seminary of St. Omers Had the dispute been for no more than half an hours absence they would have brought the record of the Seminary Day-book to prove the Deponent was gone to the House-of-Office To the 21 22 23 and 24 Articles he says so very little that it is just nothing so that we are to believe he grants them for truth And if they be true why not all the rest Nay since he has given us an Inch we 'l take an Ell and tell the Vindicator to his Teeth they are all true for this very reason because they are confirm'd by that worthless Oath of the Doctor as he most Jesuitically calls it which his railing and reviling language has only barkt at no where been able to penetrate It is a sentence of the Wise Calumnia semper opprimit meliora But on the other side we have this to relieve us Iustos mores mala non attingit Oratio And so let us go seek out our Vindicator again As good fortune will have it see where he comes all-to-be-new-recruited with the zealous inspirations of Brandy and Satan to gratifie his Papistical blind and superstitious fury He denies That White and other Iesuits writ a Letter on the tenth of March declaring that the Clergy were a sort of Rascally fellows that had neither wit nor courage to manage such a great design meaning the Plot. Here saith he the Deponent throws an apple of discord to sow dissention between the Clergy and the Society To pass by his polite Metaphor which shews him to be either a great Dunce or a meer Novitiate I would fain know cui bono What should move the Deponent to do a thing already done to his hands 'T is well known what opinion the rest of the Clergy have of the unlimited pride of the Jesuits in general and their haughty advancement of themselves above their brethren so that it was not the Deponents work either to unite or set them together by the ears for any man with half an eye may see the Deponents intention which was only to introduce their contemptible reflections upon the Clergy as a circumstance to prove how curious they were in their Trayterous Instruments But this is only a surmise of the Vindicators and therefore for fear it should not turn to account he brings his two never failing friends to nick it that is his own Averment and Attestation E. Very proper Don Quixot's and Sancta Pancha's to encounter the Wind-mills of his own erecting He denies That the Deponent saw a Letter from White mentioning that attempts had been made to assassinate the King at several times by William and Pickering had opportunity offer'd it self For missing whereeof he denies also that William was chid and the latter had twenty strokes with a discipline His reason is because he says that no body ever heard of it but by the Deponents Narrative And then he desires the Deponent to give a reason why White should only chide William that was his Man and whip Pickering over whom he had no jurisdiction By the way William was not Whites man but a servant to the whole Society in London and so was Pickering being under their Hire and consequently both equally under the Jurisdiction of White their Provincial Now I appeal to common sense and the judgment of those who have read or understand the extent of Papistical authority in
then brewing for the destruction of his Prince and Country CHAP. VII What he Relates since his return to London concerning Iesuits from the 33 to the 53 Article THe Narrative declares That in Iuly Ashby came to Town to dispose of the 10000 l. procured by La Chaise and that he should Treat with Sir Geo. Wakeman to Poyson the King as also to procure the Assassination of the Bishop of Hereford To this the Vindicator replies That Ashby before his Death declared all this to be false as the Iesuits of St. Omers themselves attest And all this he clinches too with a How is it probable that had there been any such thing Ashby should communicate it to one who had by him been so disgracefully dismist by the Provincials Order c. This is another Dismission which we never heard of before so that he may sheath his How is it probable again as being a very blunt piece of business The 34 Article the Vindicator sayes Is all false and that there is not one word of Truth in it upon the credit of Attestation G. To the 35 he says Ashby and Blundel both protested it was false To the 36 he sayes the same upon Ashbys single Protestation Thus you see what an Esteem one Traytor has for another and how warily they credit each other Like the Story of the Caldron and the Cabbage As if the Vindicator and the rest of his Bloody Gang had made a Compact together to this purpose Do you make a Vindication Deny Lye Defie Decry and what ever you assert we 'l all Swear to Now Gentlemen that you are to Believe what they attest I prove thus The Legend of St. Germain says That that Saint rais'd up a dead Ass to life again The Legend of that Saint is to be believ'd Ergo You must believe the Vindicator and his Attestators In the 38 Article the Doctor deposes That White wrote to London to Fenwick that he had ordered twelve Iesuits to go for Holland to inform the Dutch that the Prince of Orange intended to make himself King but they got no farther then Watten by reason of some mischance which Letter the Deponent saw This the Vindicator sayes with more then ordinary Choller is a Lye malitious and ridiculous malitious in charging such an odious business upon the Jesuits Not so malitious neither History has charg'd the Jesuites with far greater Crimes committed in Holland then this No less then the Murther of William of Orange and the same as fairly intended Maurice Nassau both perpetrated by persons instigated encourag'd embolden'd hired paid and Missionated by the Provincial and Rector of Doway and other Jesuites as Thuanus whom the Vindicator if he dares may deny for a good Testimony more at large relates A Ridiculous in supposing that the English Jesuites have either credit or acquaintance with the States of Holland The Fool will turn Changling before the end of his Vindication As if we thought the Jesuites had no more wit than to appear in Holland in all their formalities No no they have their shapes and their disguises and if they want credit or acquaintance they want neither Money nor Insinuation to procure both unless they be all such Dunces as the Vindicator He I confess is no great man of Language he 'l tell ye ye Lie and 't is False And fearing that neither his Malitious nor his Ridiculous would serve his turn in his own natural Delivery he affirms The Iesuites never had any such design and that no Iesuit or Iesuits were sent about it All which we find him endeavouring to prove thus for it is sometimes requisite to let you see the quint Essence of his Arguments Six Jesuites could not be spared out of the Seminary of St. Omers upon such a Design Ergo. Not Twelve out of the whole Province Again They that stopt at Watten could not be sent to Holland for had they been sent they had gone Ergo. They were not sent because they did not go To the 39 Article he answers That Blundel protested he never heard of any such Letter and so refers ye to Attestation E. In the 41 Article the Doctor deposes That Fenwick told him that the Jesuits had 60000 l. per Annum and 100000 l. in Bank and that he lent out money at 50 per Cent. This he denies and wonders how it should be true But it is a Proverh fix'd upon the Jesuits Quod Vultur est Milvo id Iesuita est Monacho So that it is no wonder that the most Covetous Proling Scraping Racking Cozening Cheating purloyning Order in the World should have 60000 l. per Annum and a hundred Thousand pound in Banck The Vindicator little understood what belongs to sums beyond his own Seminary Exhibition and Fenwick was a â—illy Jesuit-Broaker There be those who have better calculated the Jesuits Incomes that could have informed the Vindicator that their Revenues above 20 years ago amounted to two Millions of Crowns in Gold yearly which is above 500000 l per Annum a sum far greater then what the Vindicator admires at And there is no question to be made but that they who were contriving the ruin of Princes and whole Nations had some of their bulky Banck disposed of near the Scene of their Expences requisite for such a design And for the Jesuits Consciences we leave them to their Brethren the Jews to take measure of them by their own The 42 Article deposes that Harcourt Fennick Keynes and another of the Society declar'd their intentions to raise a commotion in the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wales which appear'd also by several Letters shewed the Deponent This the Vindicator calls a Lye without any signe of Truth and would have any one of these Letters produced What would it have signified For the Vindicator would have brought somebody to protest there were no such Letters written Produce their Letters and either they make their Equivocating Comments upon them or else deny their own hands which has not sav'd their Necks for all that That 's such a Flim Flam Story for a Sancha Pancha of a Vindicator to bid us produce Letters when he himself has undertaken to venture his Soul and all the pains of Hell and Purgatory to confound what ever can be produc'd which bare denials and attestations out of the Clouds and that with such a daring and audacious Impudence as if Truth were only confin'd to that foul skulking hole of Iniquity and Treason at St. Omers And then with a plausible Insinuation They that all our modern Histories have Character'd for the grand Incendaries of the World They that are Chronicl'd for their Murders and Massacres and their inflaming all the Kingdoms of Europe and disturbing the repose of Church and State over all Christendom They shall come to a pitiful idle nonsensical Vindicator and bid him cry to the Deponent for deposing the Truth and detecting their hateful Conspiracies What a Commotion you have rais'd in England all the
