A95943	A vindication of Mr. Bryan Heyns from all the calumnies and reproaches cast upon him by the phanaticks together with a short relation of the present Presbyterian Plot, against the King and government.	Heyns, Bryan.	1682 (1682)	Wing V482; ESTC R18923	20,406	26

was not at all Chief-Justice nor no thoughts thereof Heyns answer'd that Point so well once before that he thought he put an end to the Whiggish Tautologies for when mention was made of my Lord Chief-Justice Pemberton in Colledge's Tryal at Oxford Heyns never named any particular month time or place in relation to Sir Francis Pemberton for if there had been any such Query demanded of him he could easily answer That Colledge spoke ill of my Lord Chief-Justice Pemberton divers times and especially in his own house before Mrs. Fitz-Harris and Mr. Ivy nay if need requires an eminent Citizen of London will be produced that can verifie that Colledge called Sir Francis Pemberton a thousand Rogues and that he hoped the next Parliament that sate would hang him up because he gave his opinion to the King that Fitz-Harris might be tryed out of Parliament And for Heyns being married to one Mrs. Mansfield as is alledged in the said Pamphlet 't is such Non-sense that none but a foolish simple Whig would publish such a ridiculous Story for the Gentlewoman her self denies she ever spoke any such thing If any be curious to know the truth of this false Alarum Mrs. Mansfield lodges at the Twisted Posts in James-street in Covent-garden who will certifie him of the truth of things But 't is no marvel the Phanatiques will six two Marriages upon Heyns at once when they impose two upon His Majesty viz. that He was married to the Duke of Monmouth's mother Horrid Indignation to His Sacred Majesty although he denied it upon the word of a Christian and a King Another idle Fable is set down in the said Pamphlet of Mr. Heyns how he counterfeited a Letter from one Mr. Oliver a Prisoner in the Fleet-Prison to one Mr. Harbottle of Lincoln whereby Mr. Oliver was cozen'd of the value of 200 l. Heyns answered this Whiggish Lye once before and had it printed in Mr. Thompson's Intelligence But I leave it to the judgment of any rational man how the said Oliver could be cheated of 200 l. having sworn himself out of Prison not to be worth 10 l. in all the World by the last Act of Parliament made three or four years ago for the Release of poor Prisoners for Debt Besides the Statute of Bankrupt was extended upon all his real and personal Estate many years before Heyns ever knew him and Mr. Adams that lives in Holborn a Barrister of Lincolns-Inn was one of the Commissioners for the said Statute of Bankrupt moreover Heyns calls God to witness he never knew Mr. Harbottle in all his life Some few things more I have to answer that are published in the said Pamphlet One is that it was beneath the Earl of Shaftsbury to speak to such a mean Rascal as Heyns is or words to that effect Of this Pamphleteer I would ask these two Questions What does he conceive by these word mean Rascal If he intimates Heyns baseness of Birth he can easily prove himself as well born by Father and Mother as the Noble Peer setting aside the King's Impression of Honour his Father is descended from the ancient Family of the Heyns of Connaught originally sprung from a younger Son of Miletin● that was Monarch of Ireland And in Henry the VIII's Reign his Ancestor by the Father side had power of Life and Death upon his own Estate and had Fifty Mannors that were his real Inheritance His Family was always Loyal to the Crown of England so that he will put his Life to issue if ever there was a Traytor of his own Line His Mother was descended of the Noble and Ancient Family of the Burks of Clanricarde that have been Peers of England and are still Peers of Ireland The Royal House of Lancaster married the onely Heiress and Daughter of the Earl of Vlster and Clanricarde whose name was Burke the Title of Vlster being given to the sole Heirs of his Body lawfully begotten and in her Right the Duke of York by the Lancaster Line is Hereditary Earl of the said Province In all Ages the said Family of the Burkes have shewed their Loyalty to the Kings of England and kept the Crown of Ireland upon Queen Elizabeth's head having with unspeakable Fortitude and true Valor defeated the confederate Irish and Spaniards in several pitched Battels when the Spaniards invaded Ireland in Queen Elizabeth's Reign If he means that Heyns was Basely Educated the Pamphleteer will be laughed at for no private Gentleman's Son could have better Documents instilled into him than he had in those liberal Sciences imbellishing a Gentleman Besides he lived always by his own honest industry and independant of any man which several Whigs in London can witness It was his Fathers Loyalty to his Prince that clouded his Birth and Breeding for had he sided with the late Usurper he might enjoy his own Inheritance to this day Let no man imagine that I publish these things of my Family out of Vain-glory but to let the world know I want nothing to make me a complete Gentleman but an Estate and that I am not such an abject person as the Whigs render me to the world Besides I think I do my Prince a great deal of Justice in clearing my Reputation from those Aspersions daily spoke of me by his Enemies And whereas 't is printed in the said Pamphlet that it was altogether groundless what Heyns deposed against the Earl of Shaftsbury relating to the Duke of Buckingham viz. That his Mother was not descended of the Plantagenets Heyns desires the Reader to consult the Heralds who are ready to prove that she was descended of a Sister or Daughter to Edw. IV. But the Pamphleteer may as well deny this point as that the Noble Peer never spoke to Heyns And I do really believe the Earl of S y would not involve his Native Countrey in a Civil War as 't is there mentioned out of any love he had for the Duke of Bucks but out of that odium he bears to the Duke of York and others he would make a New Association with the Infernal Fiends and offer all things that are dear to him in this Life as a libation to the Devil upon condition he might revenge himself upon the Yorkists And whereas the said Pamphlet denies that the Earl of Sh. spoke contumeliously of the King all men know that is not only usual with him to revile and speak ignominiously against the King privately but also publickly in open Parliament See the Speech of the Noble Peer where 't is said We want a Prince that we may Trust And in another paragraph of the same Speech he bids the King to change His Principles c. This uncivil Dialect is customary with Whigs in all Ages to Princes as any Historian can tell that has read the Life of Mary Queen of Scots Vide The History of the Rebellion in Scotland against the said Queen whom Knocks the Minister called often Whore and Jezabel and told her she

And that Royal Martyr having a deep sense of the daily Injustice done to that Nation by those who thirsted after Irish mens Estates more than the settlement of a Peace and Unity writes of that Rebellion in these words following And certainly 't is thought by many wise men that the preposterous Rigour and unreasonable Severity which some men carried before them in England was not the least Incontive that kindled and blew up into those horrid flames the sparks of discontent which wanted not predisposed Fewel for Rebellion in Ireland where despair being added to their former discontent and the fear of future extirpation to their wonted oppressions it was easie to provoke to an open Rebellion a People prone enough to break out to all exerbitant violence both by some Prinicples of their Religion and the natural desires of liberty both to exempt themselves from their present Restraints and to prevent those After rigours wherewith they saw themselves apparently threatned by the covetous Zeal and uncharitable Tury of some men who think it a great argument of the truth of their Religion to endure no other but their own In another place the same Royal Martyr says treating still of the same Rebellion That Men are more greedy to kill the Bear for his skin than for any harm be hath done The confiscation of Mens Estates being more beneficial than the charity of saving their Lives or reforming their Errors And thus this Wise and most Christian Prince considered the Tyrannical Usuage of the Irish under those hellish Fiends the Presbyterians who in those days governed Ireland and forced the Natives to Rebel of purpose to get their Estates as we afterwards saw by woful experience The Emperour Honorius was of the same Sentiment with our Royal. Martyr the said Honorius having discover'd the treasonable practices of Eucherlus against himself and his Empire told the said Eucherius as follows Three sorts of Traytors are to be considered said he by the Sovereign Prince viz. He that commits Treason out of Discontent or Injury done him is pardonable He that acts Treason out of madness is to be pitied And finally He that perpetrates Treason ex dominand libidine ought to feel the keenness of the Axe for said he Ense recidendum est immedicabile Vulnus Which last Sentence I wish His Majesty would put in execution against all those that thirst after Democracy for no other inducement or provocation but because they themselves would Rule all I would expose my Body to the flames of the most violent Fire like that gallant Roman Mucius Scaevola upon condition that His Majesty would make an Edict That all that served under the late Usurper or were Authors of the late Rebellion in Forty One might be banished out of the Three Kingdoms or stigmatized in the Forehead to distinguish them from the King's liege people then every honest man could sit under his own Vine and our King live in his Throne with Honour Tranquility Peace and Plenty hourly enjoying the Fruition of the hearts and affections of His Loyal Subjects until is pleased the Almighty to call Him to Himself and crown Him with immortal Glory Let the Whigs with all laudable Apology shroud their oblique Transactions and present Conspiracy against the King and Government and pretend to all the Loyalty and Innocency in nature none will believe them that has the least spark of reason for to my certain knowledge they have been a plotting these many years to plant a Commonwealth in England and Ireland c. And this is easily made manifest by their frequent Libelling against His Majesty by criminating Him of Incest with the Dutchess of P intimating that she was the Earl of st Alban's Daughter by the late Queen-mother of England Another Libel I saw reflecting upon the King 's Natural Children That His Majesty had Fifty five Royal Bastards Boys and Girls besides those that were in the Panniers That these in time would devour the Three Kingdoms unless they were all knocked in the Head That it was a deed of Charity to crush the old Serpent meaning the King lest He would fill the Land with His Lecherous Brood They have not spared His very Effigies or Statue that is set up in the Stocks Market to Libel against and the other Effigies of the old King set up at Charing-Cross and this Libel was called The Speech between the Two Horses Another of these Libels I saw where the Duke of Lauderdale perswades the King to Rule all by His own Great Will for it was a Mickle Shame for Majesty to be controuled by such prating Loons as were Members of the House of Commons Another of His Majesties Cabinet-Council in the said Libel desires the King to embrace the Mother-Church viz. Rome and destroy all the Hereticks in one Night as they were at Paris and then His Holy Father the Pope would Canonize Him a Saint for rooting out the Enemies of God and the Catholique Church For as the Pope gave Henry VIII the Title of Defensor Fidei so it was given to this King since His Restauration as the said Libel sets forth the Title of Restaurator Ecclesiae Catholicae habuit transmissum and illum Gladium Benedictum ad extirpandos expellendes Haereticos These are the very words of the Pamphlet Moreover That it was the worst thing that ever the Parliament did to settle the Militia upon His Majesty yet Charles could not live long because His whole mass of Blood was all corrupted in His Body as some of His own Physicians related to the Whigs That Nature was all consumed in Him only conserved for some interval of time by high Cordials But if He were once dead farewel then for ever Kings of England And unless the People could have their Ends by Parliament they would hire some of the King 's Physicians that would administer Him a Powder or some Poysonous Dose when He should fall into any Fit of Apoplexy of the same Nature with that which put a period to King James's days Being the Guards and Militia could not be taken from Him Other Pamphlets I have seen one whereof was so Satyrical and Malicious against Henry VII Owen Teusder his Grandfather and all the Welch that nothing could be more venomous The other was against King James and the Scotch Nation and what a great Vilification it was to the lofty hearts of English men to sloop to Welch and Scotch Beggars to reign over England c. These two last Pamphlets were the senecallest and odiousest that ever were penned by man insomuch that Nature it self would even blush to give the least auscultation to the perusal of any thing specified or included in them The person that caused the Sandals Crucifix and Beads several years ago to be fixed to Mr. Speaker's Chair in the House of Commons knew all the forementioned Pamphlets In this Epitome Reader you may see as in a transparent Glass the Phanatiques hearts by their exterior Deportments and Overt
