the little squabbles by and by ill natur'd Subjects 〈…〉 he bestows 〈…〉 in Answer 〈…〉 Mr. Wrs. N. 〈…〉 Apology on the whole and in vindicating one Non-conformist than the Apology in vindicating as far as was then proper the whole party including also his one Mr. B. will be eas'd of his trouble about the Clergy c. when he has read his mistake of the Party he supposes reflected on corrected in this Pamphlet When he says I perfectly Copi'd Mr. Wrs. Example he both wrongs me and injures himself For I have said nothing against any Conformists but what I 'm more capable than willing to prove Mr. Wr. has said nothing against the Dissenters but what Mr. B. has made his business to disprove How then I can be said to have copied Mr. Wrs. Example I see not In the subsequent Period he tells us He sees so little good from takes so little delight in these illnatur'd Subjects that he 'l give no occasion for new heats by examining their truth or justice on either one hand or the other an excellent Resolution I confess in a Person that had not administred occasion for new heats But in Mr. B's Circumstances 't is as if he seeing two Men quarelling should lay about him on both hands till he were out of breath and being a little recover'd shou'd tell 'em Gentlemen I shall give no occasion for new heats by examining the justice of your quarrel on either hand But above all passages in Mr. B's Conclusion I 'm amaz'd at his summoning the Apologist to make reparation to the Public for the harm he has done by his unseasonable Reflections If in that comprehensive Term Public the Government be included it surpasses my skill to reconcile Mr. B. to himself who but a few lines before acquits the Apologist of any Reflections cast on the Government I could also tell him from Persons of eminent figure and comprehensive knowledge in public affairs but as much Strangers to the Apologist as Mr. B. the Apology is so far from doing harm that it has done good service to the Government By suggesting in some of the Queries several momentous points which had not been done by any before in Print and was the Interest of the Government and Kingdoms to be inform'd off and further inquir'd into I cou'd say more of that Pamphlet were it not my own If by Publick Mr. B. mean the Subjects of these Kingdoms Loyally affected to the present Government studious of an Union of Protestants he will not find the least Reflection cast upon any one of ' em It remains then that by Public be understood the Disaffected to the Government and Public Weal a fourth I cannot 〈…〉 eminent Sons of 〈…〉 or England I will ●harge therefor against the Apology might have been spar'd as being both unkind in him in it self unjust and of no service to the Public Nor can I admire the reason or modesty of his inference from that groundless charge i. e. that the Apologist make a Panegyrick on the opposite Party before conviction of wrong in an high degree done 'em and demonstrative evidence too of their extraordinary both merit and quality such only being the proper Objects of a Panegyrick But I forgive Mr. B. who no doubt expects to find his own Name in the Catalog of the Worthies of the Moderate and Sober Clergy Con and Non whose Carriage he tells us in the next period will furnish our two Panegyricki with materials enough And tho I somewhat scruple to say with Mr. B.'s the venerable Mr Wr. his excellent Pen which Epithets Mr. Wr. himself cannot think seriously bestow'd nor wou'd Mr. B.'s be thought to speak Ironically Yet least Mr. B. shou'd hereafter tax the Apologift with ill Humor and that I may also demonstrat my Zeal for the Union of Protestants I hereby promise to accomplish his wish in Writing a Panegyric on my opposit party that is the Church of Rome including the Head all Protestants disaffected to the present Government and who have been in any former or in the present Reign are obstructers of the Union of Protestants and the Peace of these Kingdoms These only have I reflected on these only are my opposit party these will afford me plenty of Materials for a Panegyrick Omitting therefore the first six Centuries of Christianity I shall comwith mence the seventh in which Gregory Bishop of Rome furnisht England with the first Metropolitan i. e. Augustin the Monk who subjected the Church of England to that of Rome being himself install'd in the Arch-Bishoprick of Canterbury by two of the Saxon Kings who by arm'd force cut off 1200 of the poor Monks of Bangor in one day for refusing Subjection to the Bishop of Rome and to receive Augustine for their Arch-Bishop His most eminent Successors Anselm but especially St. Thomas Becket with several other Bishops to the beginning of the Reformation I shall signalize with Characters and Elogies answerable to their eminent Qualities and Services to the Church and State In the Reign of King Henry VIII I shall omit nothing of the high Merits of Cardinal Woolsey in Queen Mary's Reign Bishop Bouner Bishop Gardiner and others of Eternal Memory In Queen Elizabeth's Arch-Bishop Whitgift who by his letters and Counsels prevail'd with Her 〈…〉 ●●jesty reserv'd to Herself and wou'd by no means submit to the Scan of a Parliament Such were the Reformation of Religion the making of War and Peace the Succession to the Crown the Queens Marriage By which methods says the Historian the Reformation was for an intire Age obstructed in England Of all Bishops I design the highest Encomiums for Arch-Bishop Laud whose incomparable Wisdom in the Conduct of our Church he gave eminent Instances off in the latter end of King James's Reign and fully display'd in the Reign of Charles I. But my Rhetorical Flowers I shall reserve for those that Acted on our Theatre in the two last Reigns and in this Reign only for the Bishops of Scotland the Bishops and Clergy of England having universally of late given ample demonstration of their Loyalty to their Present Majesties can therefore with no colour of Truth or Justice be included in the object of my design'd Panegyric All this I shall deliver in a Stile as much sublimer than the Apology as it is above those dreggs of sense in the back-side Advertisement But before I put Pen to Paper on this Subject I expect Mr. Wr. will from the Press oblige himself to be equally generous in Writing a Panegyric on my party the matter whereof I will if he require it furnish him with And that the Reflector make a Panegyric on the Apologist who in this Paper has demonstrated the truth of the Apology and every Period against it in the Reflections false and many of 'em Self-contradictious I wou'd also hope that Mr. Boyes who has given the Precept will likewise give the Precedent of a Panegyric on Mr. Wr. whom he has so severely reflected on in page 2 and 23. which I read with Indignation Legem sibi dixerat ipse What follows in Mr. Boyes Conclusion I dare say both Parties will in those general Terms subscribe to For my own part I am so averse to the humor and principle of those who wou'd set the Protestant Religion on the narrow Pedestal now I understand that hard word of a Party that I sincerely promise to dedicate my little all to promote the Union of Protestants Their Majesties and the Kingdom 's Interest I should in the last place encounter the Advertisement at the end of Mr. Wrs. Vindication this noisom Page brings to my thoughts the great Chamier a Presbyterian Divine Beza's Successor whose Panstratia is not equall'd by any performance extant of any one Divine in these Kingdoms against the Church of Rome This great Man some where says he us'd to visit the Schoolmen as Strangers do a Princes Palace where being entertain'd with all the grateful 〈…〉 of this Page and shall not here rob the Advertiser of the honour of Triumph in his refined Stile tho' I could name men of Sense two or three who have impeach'd of Nonsence his Only that he wou'd be glad as incoherent with the preceding words of Battology to pass his tautologys his Not worth the notice any farther notice and all in one Period for the whole Page is no more The only lines Printed on behalf of Mr. Wr.

of Nonsence Now this palpable misrepresentation must proceed either from a weakness of Judgment which neither Boy nor Girle of common sense could be guilty of or from a defect in Morals which any wearing the Protestant Livery but the Reflector and Advertiser would blush at Let the Reflector choose whether of the two best please him I proceed to account this being the proper place for that passage in the Apology which mentions the Odium incurr'd c. And here I do solemnly and sincerely declare that neither in this passage nor any other in the Apology I made the least Reflection on the Establisht Church of England nor any Member of her Communion but those alone who deriving Authority from Charles the Second or rather in his Reign from 〈…〉 of England and Persecuted at least in Name as well some of the best Sons of the Church of England which I need not here name as the Dissenters in Name Person and Estate who have manifested disaffection to the Present Government obstruct the Union of the Protestants the Tranquillity and Florishing of these Kingdoms and Their Majesties Prosperous Reign Nor do's the Apology bear near so hard upon those men as many other Papers writ as well since as beofre it was publish'd by very Learned Reverend Sons of the Church of England I 'le name but two of many i. e. the Bishop of Sarum's Sermon and Dr. Carswell's And why that should be made a Crime in the Apologist which is esteem'd meritorious in other men I understand not Let these Gentlemen Reconcile themselves to the present Government and thereby to their Brethren who are justly entitl'd to the Denomination taken à meliori parte of the Establisht Church of England and then may they assure themselves of a just Veneration from all Protestant Churches with the best Service of all true Protestants and of the Apologist who I hope may pass for one tho' of the lowest Form The Provocation to my inserting that ungateful Passage in the Apology is too obvious to need another But as to the Occasion besides my own Observations and the several Papers I had with regret read of our Murmurers that Letter from a Minister of State abroad to a Person of Honour in England which you have in Number 14. of our New Scotch Observator was fresh in my Memory and tho' the Letter taxes the Nation promiscuously with this murmuring Humour Ingratitude c. without discriminating the Innocent Party or Principle from the Nocent yet who knows not the Impeachment can only reach that party of men now describ'd and intended in the Apology By the way I would Advise the English Reader to borrow as I did the assistance of a Scotch Interpreter to that Print in which besides the words Communicate put for a Participle contrair ungrate resistence which are not English and the false English in mis-spelling the Phrase gives a sense sometimes quite contrary to the Observator's Conceptions as when he would signifie that Protestants abroad can scarce believe there should possibly be found in England one i. e. so much as one single Protestant dissatisfi'd c. He has it be found but one single c. which in the English Idiom implies a Plurality Now if he publishes Volumes as he has one already in this medly of Scotch and English yet neither genuin Scotch nor English what prejudice must the English Tongue sustain by it which after these last Twenty Years re●●●● 〈…〉 more easily tempt 〈…〉 Pieces 'T were therefore to 〈…〉 Sir Roger and Hary's Succestor could at least write true English since Nature has deny'd him the Wit and his Education perhaps his Years too the general knowledge of the English Government and Publick Affairs these two Gentlemen were possest of But reserving this Observator for another Occasion I return to the Reflector who by turning the end of his Prospective could do wonderful fears in describing the failures and miscarriages of another Party Let him begin when he will that Party which I suppose he means bid him defiance if he intend those failures and miscarriages with respect to the Government As he goes on he repeats his own words in pag. 2. of his Observations before cited in celebrating Mr. W's extraordinary performances which says the Reflector no Age nor History can parallel This Hyperbole might find some colour in Col. Murry who was indeed the Man whose Gallantry was not equal'd in Derry by whose Loyalty and faithful Service with those that adher'd to him Derry and by consequence the North of Ireland was preserv'd from being once and again during the Siege betray'd into the hands of King James who better deserv'd the Five Thousand pounds than Mr. W. did Five pounds Consult the true Narrative last Week Printed The Apologist said that to believe what is attributed to the hand of the Church in the Dedicatory Epistle prefix'd to Mr. Walker's Narrative requires equally with Transubstantiation a Head abdicated of Reason and five Senses On which words the Reflector will play the Critic because says he 't is not worth while In my Opinion says the Reflector that word abdicat cannot be apply'd in the passive sense Why so For says he it implies a spontaneous Act. In my Opinion here is such a piece of Criticism as no Age nor History can parallel I nibbl'd at it an hour but to no purpose till I rais'd the Ghost of Aristotle the Father Aristarchus the Prince of Critics and Old Priscian's mangl'd Skull And all three having piss'd in an Vrinal as the Reflector has it produc'd the Reflector's Critical Brat hopping upon these three Leggs All-to be-p No word he means Verb that implies a spontaneous act can be apply'd in a passive sense but the Verb Abdicat implies a spontaneous act Ergo cannot be apply'd in a passive sense Up starts a Westminster School-boy and says he would dash out the Brains and break all the Leggs and Limbs of the Reflector's Brat so as Aesculapius himself should never bring it to Life again Thus says the Lad the three 〈…〉 taken in a passive sense now for honest Litly● sake will I deny the Major and challenge all the Logic in the Reflectors head to make it good If he aver that Amo implies a necessary not spontaneous act in him when an encharming Object presents Then says the Lad will I give him Verbero which in our Venerable Dr. B. signifies a Spontaneous act tho' to the Reflector a necessary act of Justice But the Reflector for Illustration adds A Man may be said to abdicate but not properly to be abdicated the School-boy replies the Reflector discovers his profound Ignorance of our common School Authors Did he never read in Terence abdicare generum and frequently in other Authors abdicare filium servum c. in which Phrases a Man is properly said to abdicate and to be abdicated The Apologist answers the Reflector makes himself the Man that abdicates and is abdicated not the Apoligist who makes
