I shall not undertake to Explain the Intrigues of that Affair the Lending of those Ships but this I shall Affirm that most certainly it was not done out of any Ill Will to the French Protestants and that the King was so far from being an Enemy to those Protestants that he was their Great Friend and most Charitable Assistant Which I shall here prove by the Testimony of those Protestants themselves in a Letter to His Majesty in the Suppliment to the CABALA P. 204.

At this Sitting the Lord Viscount Dorchester Declared That His Majesty being inform'd of bold and open repair made to several places and especially to the Houses of Foraign Ambassadours for the hearing of Mass which the Laws and Statutes of this Kingdom do expresly forbid his Subjects to frequent And considering in His Princely Wisdom both the Publick Scandals and dangerous Consequence thereof is resolv'd to take present Order for the stopping of this evil before it spread it self any farther And for this purpose has Commanded me to acquaint the Board with his Pleasure in that behalf c. By this and a multitude of other Passages in the Reign of this Blessed Prince it is manifest how far He was from being a Papist tho' to Persons of that Perswasion He often shew'd his Christian Lenity and Royal Compassion His own words are most Efficacious to convince the most stubborn of his Enemies of the sincerity of His RELIGION which was always accompanied with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory so that in all his Conflicts He was more than Conquerour His Expressions are so Genuine and Unaffected so Lively and Vigorous that any man who understands them must needs be sensible that they are the True and Lively POURTRAITURE of his Conceptions I shall therefore recite some more of them upon the many Jealousies raised and Scandals cast upon the King to stir up the People against Him I will not justifie beyond humane errours and frailties my Self or my Counsellours they might be subject to some miscarriages yet such as were far more repairable than those Enormous extravagancies wherewith some men have now even wildred and almost quite lost both Church and State No men were more willing to complain than I was to redress what I saw in reason was either done or advised amiss and this I thought I had done even beyond the expectation of moderate Men who were sorry to see Me prone even to injure Myself out of a Zeal to relieve My Subjects Time will best inform My Subjects that those are the best preservers of their true Liberty who allow themselves the least Licentiousness against or beyond the Laws They will feel it at last to their cost that it is impossible those men should be really tender of their Fellow-Subjects Liberties who have the hardiness to use their King with so severe restraints against all Laws both Divine and Humane For Mine Honour I am well assured that as Mine Innocency is clear before God in point of any Calamities they object so My Reputation shall like the Sun after Owles and Bats have had their freedom in the Night and darker times rise and recover it self to such a degree of Splendour as those feral Birds shall be grieved to behold and unable to bear For never were any Princes more glorious than those whom God hath suffer'd to be tried in the Furnace of Afflictions by their Injurious Subjects Nor shall their black vails be able to hide the shineing of My Face while God gives Me a heart frequently and humbly to converse with him from whom alone are all the Traditions of true Glory and Majesty Thou O Lord knowest My Reproach and my Dishonour My Adversaries are all before thee My Soul is among Lyons even them that are set on fire even the sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows their tongue a sharp sword Mine Enemies Reproach Me all the day long and those that are mad against Me are sworn together O my God how long shall the sons of men turn my glory into shame how long shall they love vanity and seek after lies Teach me Dauids patience and Hezekiak's devotion that I may look to thy mercy through man's malice and see thy justice in their sin Though they curse do thou bless and I shall be blessed and made a blessing to my People To them He shall be a Blessing indeed in this and in all future Ages who shall have the Grace to Imitate the Example of His Virtues by a sincere and constant dependance upon the Divine Wisdom Power and Goodness Loving in Sincerity the worst of their Enemies and rejoycing in the greatest of their Sufferings FINIS
