would fain know upon what Foundation are grounded the great hopes of our Grumblers seeing the most part of them have not had Courage enough to follow that Prince and have for ought we see no other Qualification to recommend them but their bare Jacabitism However the Examples I have already exposed to your view are not sufficient to convince you that as long as you are Protestants and English Men you are to expect no share in King James's Favour I 'll produce some others which I am sure will open your Eyes unless you are bound by an Oath to to continue always blind and I 'll begin with Sir James Moungomeris This Gentleman left no Stone unturn'd to re-establish King James in Scotland by the same Parliament that declared him to have Forfeited his Right He was afterward for Several Years his most active Minister in England Penn'd and published Declarations for him at the time of his designed Descent from La-Hogue and after the Miscarriage of that wrote his Britain's Just Complaints Was his weekly News sender and Project Drawer yet this is very Sir James Mountgomery who had done such great things and run such hazards for him being obliged to fly to France after making his escape from the Messengers House could not obtain by reason of his being a protestant any share into that Prince's Favour was brow-beaten from the Court by Priests daily upbraided with having been once in the Prince of Orange's Interest at last obliged to retire ●o Paris where he dyed with the Melancholy Reflections of the miserable State he brought himself into The Earl of Lauderdale tho a Papist met with no better Fate than Sir James His Lady being a Protestant and he an enemy to the violent Measures of the Court was judged to be sufficient Reason to exclude him from any share in the Government so natural it is for all bigots to hate every body that will not go to their hight of Violence This Gentleman heartily advised King James to put his affairs into Protestants Hands and recommended the Earl of Cl●n and the Nonjuring Bishops in England and the Lord Home Southesk and Sinclar in Scotland as the fittest persons to serve him but his Advice was so ill taken that he had his Lady sent to England not to return any more was himself forbid the Court and reduced to a Pension of one Hundred pistlos per Annum He retired to Paris and seeing no probability of his Masters changing his Measures died of Greif One vvould have thought that his Brother Mr. Alexander Maitland who on several Occasions had behaved himself very bravely in that prince's Service should have been preferred by him yet he met with such an Entertainment that wanting Bread there he vvas very glad to come to England and making his peace vvith the Government vvhose Service he had Deserred having once had a Command in the Scots Guards under King William Sir Andrew Forrester is unother greet Instance of King James's aversion to Protestants This Gentleman served with all imaginable Zeal that Prince's Interests when a Subject and was the devoted Creature of his Most Arbitrary Commands when a King he suffered Imprisonment in the Tower for him at the time of his designed Descent and yet notwithstanding all this and the great Experience he had in Scotish Affairs he could never obtain any share in that Prince's Confidence when he came to St. Germain all his Merits Sufferings and the good Character he had in both Kingdoms were not enough to Counter-ballance the Objection of being a Protestant and therefore by no means to be Intrusted so that after some times Attendance as a Cypher he was rewarded with a pass to return to England for they had there no occasion for him Sir Theophilus Oglethory who by his Capacity as well as Services was encouraged to go over and offer his Assistance met with Sir Andrew Forrester's Fate upon account of his Religion and was so unkindly used that he was very glad to get home to Old England again where 't is expected he will Plot no more Mr. Fergus Graham was the only Protestant Gentleman in King James's Family but as soon as they saw that my Lord Preston and Colonel Graham his Brother who ventured so much for that Prince could do them no more Service in England he was discharged for no other reason but that they thought a Protestant a Blemish in their House-hold Nor was Sir William Sharp better used altho he pretended to come over upon the Act of Parliament in Scotland to save his Estate for the Entertainment he had at St. Germain before he came away is very well known The pension he had whilst King James's Army in Scotland kept up was taken from him and he fell under distrusts with Melford and Innes and contempt at Court which will appear to all Reasonable Men a sufficient motive for his coming away But the usage of Dr. Cockburn a Scotish Divine is beyond any thing that can be imagined This Gentleman was Banished Scotland for his practices against the Government and afterwards being obliged to leave England for writing of Pamphlets thought himself secure of a Sanctuary at St. Germain if not of a Reward for his Services but instead of that he met with the daily importunities of Priests to make him abandone his Religion and their endeavours ●roving vain they then represented him as a dangerous person and got him sent from France He lives now in Exile in Holland both from Britain and France Mrs. Ashton widow to Mr. Ashton who was Executed for his being concerned in my Lord Preston's Affairs went ●o the Court of St. Germain after her Husband's Death as ●hinking that she had some Merit to plead for a kind Reception but she was as much deceived as any of those I have already mentioned Few dayes after her arrival Priests were sent to tell her that nothing but being Roman Catholick could recommend a woman to the Queen's Service which the poor Gentlewoman declining to comply with was neglected and dying soon after was refus'd Burial till her Father Mr. Rigby of Covent-Garden as a mighty Favour and at great Charges obtained leave from the Court of St. Germain to have her Body brought over into England and Buried her in Covent Garden Church If these Examples are not sufficient to convince our Jacobites or if they question the truth of them for really I must own that they are almost incredible I desire them to consult the Young Lord Henmore Mr. Louthian Captains Murray Dalyel Macgil Maclean Fielding Mr. Charles Kinnaird and several hundreds more now in and about London who are lately come from St. Germain and they will tell you that the only reason why they left that Court was because they could not have Bread except they would change their Religion and therefore did choose rather to run the hazard of Imprisonment by returning to England then stay and starve in France Many Instances more might be given to shew
