his Spirit and Genius out of his own publish'd Writings I come next to II. HIS Designs of these I shall briefly give his own Account out of his latest Books They were if we may believe him the securing and promoting the Interest of the present Monarchy Pref. against Plus Vltra p. 4. Protestant Religion ibid. and the Church of England Title Pref. c. against Dr. Sprat School-Divinity p. 1. against Plus Vltra Universities p. 1.2.13 In order to the carrying on these great Intendments He design'd further to make the Virtuosi really ridiculous and odious to the Kingdom Pref. p. 4. to avenge his Faculty upon M. Glanvill and by Sacrificing that Virtuoso to publick Obloquy to establish general Repose and Tranquillity Pref. p. 3. Smile not ô Tres-haute tres-agreeable Comediants Pref. 6. M. Marchamont Stubb is the PILLAR of MONARCHY and the PATRIOT of PROTESTANT Religion But you must not ask how long he hath been of this Loyal and Religious Inclination He hath no longer a Concern for Sir H. Vane Disc. of Choc You may choose whether you 'l admire Him now and yet be no Enemy to all that is good and virtuous nor is he concerned for the other Patriots of the long Parliament and Army that were to be so famous when the Worthies of Greece and old Rome should cease to be mention'd ut supra Tower-Hill and Tybourn have alter'd the Case The Good old Cause ceaseth to be the most glorious in the World and Monarchy to be the Norman Yoke more intolerable than the Aegyptian Bondage Our Kings are not now a Succession of Usurpers nor is Their Government the most dismal Part of Egypt We hear no more of Charles Stuart and his Bishops compared to the Inquisition nor of executing Iustice upon the late KING No the Interest of the present Monarchy and the Church of England are now the Cause the glorious Cause and next to the Good old one no doubt the most glorious that ever was M. Politicus is better informed his Eyes are opened and now Monarchy may be as good a Government as M. Harrington's Model that was so like the Pattern in the Mount and General MONK may be as good a Patriot as Sir H. Vane and the Rumpers Thus we hear Sir Hudibras is turn'd zealous Royalist and our Sir Marchamont will pay the Comical Wits for the Prejudice They do the present Monarchy and the Church of England HOW like it is 1. that the Interest of Monarchy should be one ground of M. Stubb's Quarrel with the Virtuosi we have seen already or if it do not yet fully appear from what hath been recited before give me leave to propose to your further Consideration a Paragraph of his in the Beginning of his Vindication of Sir H. V. p. 1.2 The Age saith he wherein we live hath been all Miracles and the coming forth of the Woman out of the Wilderness hath been attended with so many Wonders that a pious Heart can never want imployment in its Contemplation We have seen and our Eyes bear witness of the Actings of our God the overturning of a Monarchy setled upon the Foundation and Vsage of many hundreds of Years strengthened by what Humane Policy could contribute to its Establishments and what of Buttress a complying Clergy could assist it with out of the Pulpit Yet have we seen a Change so brought about by our Iehovah that he may in extraordinary Acknowledgments be proclaimed wonderful Counsellour the mighty God the everlasting Father Prince of Peace We have seen the most glorious Cause in the World accompanied with no less Success and the Lord in his Mercy to us and Iustice to them hath bound our Kings in Chains and Nobles in Fetters of Iron such as wherewith they had formerly opprest the good People of this Land This Honour have all his Saints Psal. 149.9 Vengeance hath he returned upon their heads and their own Shame hath covered them The true anointed ones of the Lord have appeared for their sakes hath he rebuked Monarchs and the former have repeated the Fruits of that Holiness and Sacriety whereunto the latter vainly pretended In this Strain he goes on in imitation of the reformed Style of those Times which is not Canting but the holy Language of the anointed ones for whose sake our King was bound in Chains and our Nobles in Fetters of Iron And are we not to believe that this Anointed Rumper is a Zealot for the Interest of the present Monarchy We have his word for 't and he hath told me that he can say more for Monarchy than all the Virtuosi No doubt It would be very much if M. Stubb could not say more for any thing than the Ignoramus's He knows the man that useth to brag what he can say for MAHOMET and what an Inclination he hath to write the Life of that Brave Fellow And if Turcism were among us I know where the Alcoran would have a Defender and one that can say as much for it as for Monarchy or the Church of England if he may be credited himself but of that no more now We have seen some things whereby we may judge how dear the Interest of Monarchy is to our Anti-Virtuoso and how much Reason we have to believe that to be one ground of his Quarrel with the Royal Society LET us inquire next 2. how probable it is that he should be kindled against them by the Consideration of the Church of England and Religion There was a time you know when the Church of England was in a worse Condi●ion than it is in now and Religion in a more ruinous Posture Independents Anabaptists Fifth Monarchy-men and Quakers were as formidable People to both as the Virtuosi and all things were fallen under their destructive Power What did this pious Vindicatour of the Church of England and Religion in that unhappy season No doubt his Zeal burnt like fire and he was sensible then as he is now Pref. p. 4. that he ought not to be silent Then it was that his Light broke out of Darkness that disclosed Truths little less admirable than those Sir H. Vane discover'd that were the most glorious that have been witness'd to these 1500 Years and more ut sup They are proposed modestly in Queries for he tells us They are from one who desires to lie low in his own eyes But the Testimonies and Proof are all for the Heterodox Part for which he declares he had the most esteem ● and that he had a tender Regard to those who made the Subject of those Queries their Assertions These passages make part of the Preface to the first but are in the Conclusion of the second Edition which I now use We shall see in these Queries how he shewed his Friendship to Religion and the Church of England in the Time of their greatest Extremity The first Query is this Q. 1. Whether there be any certain or peculiar Name in the New Testament that signifies a Minister or
