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.
