Argum●●● in a Castle and his Artillery in an I●●horn Rather then have betray this the Church of England should have defended themselves with the● old Arguments out of Scripture still if they would had I been you before I would have told them where the● may have better But now we come to that that 〈◊〉 material indeed and highly necessary I promise you for States-men to consider that is whether if the Design of Union had gone on England would not have undertook a Voyage 〈◊〉 Civita Vecchia Truly the Bishop was much overseen in not thinking of this for if the Pope loves Eggs in Musc●●dine so well as you say for his mornings Draught whose person you shall not find me speak so unreverendly of while he is a Great Prince no doubt Rome would presently have turn'd a Loadstone and England a piece of Iron and lying so commodious for Navigation if the Alps would not have come hither as you say is probable have sailed over them And happy then would have been for us rather to have been tempted abraod at Wapping and sold by Good Spirits to St. Christopher's or the Barbadoe's yet as if Rome's Throne were not infallible or both sayls and reason insufficient for so short a Cut you say besides the debates of that there is a better way of tampering to bring men over that have a power to conclude Admit your Tribe have that way are you such a fool to confess it You bring a fair suspicion upon whoever obliges you But the Church of Rome has so much more wit then we had in Bishop Br●●hal's dayes or seem to have yet learned Whom do you mean here by We if you mean your self and your Nonconforming Brethren truly We the King and Church of England have nothing to say against it and they are beholding to you But if you mean by We that have not learn'd more Wit yet all that are not Non-Conformists It is a Ioke upon Tolera●●●● made by your self being your grateful return to his Majesty for it But the Bishops design was ill laid though p. 36. I must make riddance of you nothing but the same again and again This is talking upo● Beads rather then Transprosing it seems He had not the Art of Tampering Yet pag. 38. Doubtless he was a good natur'd Gentleman your Reason● are better here then those for Bayes's Name but yet He dwelt in the middle Story with Pots above and Smoake below p. 39. and so could not expect his Imagination was so good to enjoy his Imagination without the Annoyances incident to Additional Civility so forth On my word this is a shrewd imputation to the Bishop That He liv'd in the middle Story However it seems his Servants had a good time on 't for below were Pipes and Toleration above were Pots and Toleration While the worthy Master like a liv●ng Emblem of the Church he was a Member of whose sober yet decent Government equally recedes from the Clownish Devotions of some who hardly serve God with Civility and the near Comical Fantasticness of others sate with honor but without Pride calm and compos'd in the middle Story But what Temper in a Prince what moderation in Government can ever satisfie People who when you have said all must be protected as well as indulged and taught as well as list'ned to if that which best answers all ends suits with both Interests must be scorn'd and excepted against our middle Story But I see where the Shoo most pinches The Smoake being below and the Pots above we have neither Drink nor Tobacco and so can bid a Non Conformist welcome if he should come to our Chamber You have some reason I confess to be little Zealous for these For as there is nothing mo●e illustrates the Doctrine of New-Light then a Pipe so no Arsenal affords mo●● plenty of Arguments then a Fot for Liberty You proceed yet though the Bishop prudently undertook a design which 〈◊〉 hoped not to accomplish in his own dayes It was some Judgement however to measure the difficulty of an enterprize But thou art hoping to accomplish a Uniform inconformity by the meer assistance of impudent modesty I doubt that will be a pretty while a doing too wherefore you had better sure have kept to the Pot of good Ale which so soon can be swallow'd for Hac neque sum usquam nec possum esse profecto But now breath a little here● some variety He falls upon Bayes again and for what do you think Not for saying He had parted with the pleasure of thinking well of Him calling Him craz'd and undertaking Churchman saying He dwel't in the middle Story or prudently laid a design he hoped not to live to see accomplished but for dishonouring and abusing the Bishop Where Honor was the furthest from his thoughts and whom he used for a stalking Horse I render my Cause as the Sword men would have it for fear I should not be credited He taxes him farther with being severe to the other Reformed Churches Still he does not call him Ugly old Woman nor challenge him of his sin● being false to his own Then comes your Pat-applications out of the Rehearsal again of which there are and will be so many that the Play will seem rather Transcrib'd then Transp●os'd Now he calls Bayes the Spiritual Draw-Can-Sir over Hungary Transilvania Bohemia Poland six Countries more and many more he says besides and a great part of England too Of all whose Beards He will make his Comfortable Importance Simarrs Truly Trans as to his being Draw-can-Sir I say for England what if he be Hath not your Rome one too for Italy Spain France Purgatory Germany c. that would be so for Hungary Transylvania Bohemia c. a great part of England and the rest of it and all but the Margin of Mercator's Map yet I hope not to make Simarrs of then beards Though by the way Friars might do well to leave shaving if there be any Jealousie hair is imploy'd to make Comfortable Importances Simarrs Nay and then the Women may make themselves Fig-leaves of it too for ought I know Transprose me that As for his being Penitentiary U●●versal to the other Churches and Buffoon General to our own For the first that would be no Imployment in this case for Conformists don't nee● to Repent and Nonconformists neve● do And for Buffoon I see no reason but we may be permitted to write Transprosal●s as well as your self But now Ware-hawk You say the Author took in a couple in Partnership to help him Why then he 's no Draw-can-Sir again That 's some good news for Hungary Transylvania Bohemia Popland c.
