after they had vastly paid for their security and quiet We have answer'd your Instances of the French Protestants and the Dutch Papists and your unjust upbraiding us with the greatness of your Duty and with our want of compassion and pity And yet as if all these were Unanswerable you come over with them again and again These barbarous people you say sequester none for their Faith but pray what did you when you govern'd the Civiliz'd World you hang'd and burn'd men for no other cause but their Faith and this you did with abundance of Civility so it seems we may be worse than Barbarous and yet much better than you But that were little for our credit unless we had this to say more that not the worst of you suffers any otherwise than by known Laws or any more than is of pure Necessity For we hold it Necessary to maintain the Authority of the King and the Peace of the Nation If you call any thing Religion that is contrary to these must we therefore alter our Laws or ought you to mend your Religion You put the Effigies of Cromwel upon any thing that you would render odious as your Inquisition bedresses one with Pictures of Devils whom they are about to burn for his Religion For such Disguizes are apt to work much upon the weak judgements of the multitude But he must be very weak indeed that cannot perceive the wide Difference between the Edicts of Cromwel that were design'd to Ruine men for their Loyalty and those Laws that our Princes have made to Restrain them from Treason and Rebellion We have no other study but the glory of our Sovereign and just liberty of the Subjects Sir if we may judge by your Works there is nothing less studied in your Colledge Nor was it a mean Argument of our Duty when every Catholick Lord gave his voice for the Restauration of Bishops by which we could pretend no other advantage but that 26 Votes subsisting wholly by the Crown were added to the defence of Kingship and consequently a check to all Anarchy and Confusion This is no Argument of Your Duty for sure You are no Lord. Nor is it likely that these Lords follow'd Your direction in the doing of this Duty 'T is morally impossible but that we who approve of Monarchy in the Church must ever be fond of it in the State also If you mean this of Papists in General that which you call morally impossible is Experimentally True For in Venice Genoa Lucca and the Popish Cantons of Switzerland where they very well approve of Monarchy in the Church yet they are not fond of it in the State also But if you mean this of the Jesuitical Party then it may be true in this sense that you would have the Pope to be sole Monarch both in Spirituals and Temporals Yet this is a misfortune we now plainly feel that the longer the late Transgressors live the more forgotten are their Crimes whiles distance in time calls the faults of our Fathers to remembrance and buries our own Allegiance in eternal oblivion and forgetfulness We can now allow you to complain and commend your selves without Measure having prov'd already that you do it without cause My Lords and Gentlemen consider we beseech you the sad condition of the Irish Soldiers now in England the worst of which Nation could be but intentionally so wicked as the acted Villany of many English whom your admired Clemency pardoned Remember how they left the Spanish Service when they heard their King was in France and how they forsook the Employment of that unnatural Prince after he had committed the never to be forgotten Act of banishing his distressed Kinsman out of his Dominions These poor men left all again to bring their Monarch to his home and shall they then be forgotten by you or shall my Lord Douglas and his brave Scots be left to their shifts who scorned to receive wages of those who have declared War against England To swell up the Bill of the Merits of your Party you take in the Services of the Irish and Scottish Soldiers as if they were a part of the English Catholicks whom you profess to plead for in the Title of your Apology And that you may seem to have done this in kindness to Them and not to your Selves you exhort us to Consider them in such terms as if You were the first that had ever thought of them God forbid but they should be consider'd as they deserve and he is neither good Christian nor good Subject that would grudge to contribute his proportion toward it But you seem to have a farther drift in the mentioning of these Loyal Irish. For you immediately mingle them with the worst of that Nation namely with those infamous Butchers that in times of as great Peace and Liberty as ever that Nation enjoyed and in the Name of that gracious King under whom they enjoyed these cut the throats of above an hundred thousand of his Protestant Subjects of all Sexes and Ages It was so black a Villany that You the Apologist of such Actions knew not how to mention in its proper place viz. after the French Massacre because you had not wherewith to colour it And yet being conscious to your self that this lay as a blot upon your Cause you thought fit to place it among these brave Men as if their Names would mend the hue of an Action that will make the Names of all that had to do in it look black and detestable to Mankind throughout all Generations Nor do you deal much better with our Royallists themselves of whom you do not stick to affirm that in their admired Clemency and if this were true who would not admire it they pardon'd Many English whose Acted Villanies were so wicked that the worst of the Irish Nation could be but Intentionally so wicked in their Villanies How commonly is it said that the Oath of Renouncing their Religion is intended for these which will needs bring this loss to the King and you that either you will force all of our Faith to lay down their Arms though by experience of great Integrity and Worth or else if some few you retain they are such whom necessity hath made to swear against Conscience and who therefore will certainly betray you when a greater advantage shall be offered By this Test then you can have none but whom with Caution you ought to shun And thus must you drive away those who truly would serve you for had they the least thought of being false they would gladly take the advantage of gain and pay to deceive you You proceed concerning the Irish and Scottish Soldiers in these words How commonly is it said that the Oath of Renouncing their Religion is intended for them Pray Sir can you tell who are said to intend this For if they are such as have no Authority it is frivilous If they are such as have Authority it is false And
incredible or to do at the rate as if we did believe it Rather if you have such an opinion of your own Faculty Try what you can do with your own Party and perswade them to do what is fittest best for Themselves But because the Genius of your Writing does not give us any such Hopes of You We shall rather make bold to say something from our selves by way of Advice to as many of them as may happen to need it and are capable to receive it We desire them to content them selves with that condition which they enjoy'd under his Majesties Royal Predecessors and neither to Disparage those dayes by endeavouring to perswade the world that they which suffered then for Treason died for Religion Nor to Undervalue all the Liberties which they now Enjoy if they may not be allow'd to Exceed the Measures of their Fathers We wish they would not for the paring of their nails make all Christendom ring with Cries of Persecution We wish them deeply to lay to Heart the Honor and Peace and Welfare of their Nation To abhor him that could wish to see it in Troubles in hope that at next Turn it would settle in Popery or that could finde in his heart to bid a Foreigner welcome upon the terms of restoring Catholick Religion We desire them to keep their Religion to themselves and not lay about them as some do to make Proselytes of which they have had a plentiful harvest in the late Confusions and if they should think to go on at that rate we have reason to fear it would be a means to bring us into Confusion again We desire them at least not to abuse the weakness of dying persons nor under pretence of carrying Alms to condemn'd Prisoners to Convert some of them with Drink and to Cheat others with hopes of Salvation upon easier tearms than ever God yet declar'd unto Men. We desire them not to hinder the course of Justice by interposing in the behalf of any Criminal because he is a Catholick We desire them to content themselves as their Fathers have done with such Priests as are known and protected by the Civil Power and that They would be pleas'd to demean themselves as Priests ought to do not disguising themselves like Hectors or mingling with Gentlemen to poyson the Clubs and Coffee-Houses with Phanatick Discourses or even with Atheism it self to destroy all Religion that they may have their will upon ours We desire them not to fill the World with their Pamphlets Parallels Philanaxes Exhortations Apologies c which tend only to the fermenting of Mens Passions not at all to the conviction of their Reason If they please to come into the fair Field of Controversie we shall not decline them and we think we are not in Debt to them upon that Account But for Books of the other sort which are apt only to inflame Parties and make the People Jealous and the Government Uneasie We wish they would spare their Own pains and consequently Ours If they will not let them bear their own blame and let them Answer it to the world what Occasion they had to give us this trouble of Answering them FINIS V.
