and then they were positively commanded to use all Endeavours to get her dispatched to prevent whatever designs she might pretend to Mr. Fuller having received his orders set forward for England and came as far as Abbeville where he delivered a Letter to Father Peters requiring him to go to St. Omers to observe whether or no the Woman might come that way in order to her embarquing for England but Mr. Crane Gentleman Usher to the late Q. arriving in the mean time with a Counter order commanding him to return to St. Germans the Q. told him that the lost sheep was found at a private house in Paris and was now under the care of the Countess of Sussex The next day Mr. Fuller and Father Sabran went in one of the Queens Coaches to bring the Countess and Mrs. Grey to St. Germains where the latter was conveyed privately to the Queen by Mr. Fuller and she staid in her Majesties Chamber together with the Marchioness of Powis the Countess of Sussex and others above an hour and was afterwards conveyed to a private Appartment belonging to the Lady Powis where she continued a day or two after which the late Queen and the whole Court went to visit the French King at Marli three miles from St. Germains and that same Evening Mr. Fuller Father Sabran the Countess of Sussex and Mrs. Grey went thither in the Prince's Coach with six Horses and were conveyed to a room belonging to the Archbishop of Paris while the Countess went publickly to wait upon the French King and the late Queen after which Mr. Fuller Father Sabran and Mrs. Grey were conducted privately to the French King's Backstairs the poor Woman Lamenting her hard fate mean while which she said was occasioned by her last being in England she grieved so excessively that she fainted several times before they could get her to the French Kings apartment whither she was conducted by a Jesuit and where she continued about half an hour with the French King and the late Queen being brought down again by that same Jesuit she wept bitterly and told Father Sabran and Mr. Fuller that now she must take her everlasting farewell of them and so she was carried away by the said Jesuit and never more seen nor heard of by Mr. Fuller tho' he made most diligent Enquiry after her at all the English Scots and Irish Nunneries in Paris and other places where he had great acquaintance and Father Sabran who was Chaplain to the pretended Prince and is now his Tutor did frankly tell Mr. Fuller that he believed she would not be alive the day following nor was it fit she should live He adds that besides his own knowledge in this affair there have been several Letters and Papers found in Mrs. Labadie's Fathers Trunk relating to Mrs. Grey and the whole Intrigue besides several Corroborating proofs from divers persons of quality in Ireland and others as also the Captain that brought her over from Ireland and him that carried her over to France As to his not publishing his Narrative sooner he answers that it was laid before the King and Queen in 1690. that many others have been examined in this matter whose depositions agree with his and that the Lord Preston's and Mr. Crone 's Confessions upon Oath corroborate his but that the Lord N would not suffer him to Print his own defence and did also prevent the printing of Madam Labadies Letters notwithstanding the Queens Command pretending they were misllaid To Conclude then it 's evident that all these things being laid together they amount to as full and Concluding a demonstration of the Imposture of the pretended Prince of Wales as the thing is capable of except the parties concerned should actually confess it The bringing of this Mrs. Grey bigg with Child from Ireland and her being brought to bed in St. James's at the very time when the Queen pretended to be brought to be confirms all the Exceptions made against the Evidence in the foregoing sheets and seeing there 's none of the depositions but what may consist with a Cheat except Mr. Wilks's who was a tool fitted to their purpose it is the strongest Confirmation Imaginable that all the steps of the Imposture here related are certainly true But the Imposture appears still in more lively Colours when we compare the former part of this History with Mr. Fuller's Narrative for it Mrs. Grey was not the Mother of the pretended Prince why should she above all others have the Privilege of hugging him why should she have discovered so much concern at leaving him why should the late Queen be in such a Mortal fright at her escaping out of the Nunnery at Paris why should she Imagine that the Prince of Orange's friends contributed to that Escape why should such bloody and positive orders have been given for her destruction and such care taken to prevent her arrival in England or at Whitehall and why when found again should the French King have been so much concerned in the matter as to Examine her and why should such bloody Expressions have dropt from Father Sabran's mouth as that he believed she would not be alive next day and that it was not fit she should live if they were not Conscious to themselves that she was the true Mother and that therefore it was their Interest to prevent any possibility of her making a discovery the fear of which had put them into such disorder and the Consequences of which might have been so dangerous to them so that upon the whole there 's no man who is not possess 't with invincible prejudice but must needs be convinced of the imposture designed to be put upon the Nation in this affair FINIS ADVERTISEMENTS THe
