A26467	Advice to the men of Shaftesbury, or, A letter to a friend concerning the horrid Popish-Plot		1681 (1681)	Wing A659; ESTC R9473	5,476	6

advice_n to_o the_o man_n of_o shaftesbury_n or_o a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n concern_v the_o horrid_a popish-plot_n sir_n your_o frequent_a solicitation_n to_o know_v my_o thought_n concern_v the_o many_o talk_v of_o plot_n have_v at_o last_o prevail_v with_o i_o and_o they_o be_v these_o i._o i_o think_v no_o man_n that_o be_v not_o void_a of_o reason_n and_o true_a protestant_a religion_n can_v any_o way_n question_v the_o reality_n of_o the_o popish_a plot_n it_o be_v make_v out_o so_o clear_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o law_n even_o by_o the_o plotter_n themselves_o who_o god_n at_o last_o wrought_v so_o upon_o that_o they_o dare_v not_o go_v on_o but_o by_o a_o divine_a hand_n be_v force_v to_o discover_v their_o own_o and_o other_o hellish_a design_n have_v not_o god_n wrought_v this_o change_n upon_o they_o a_o discovery_n have_v be_v impossible_a for_o no_o honest_a man_n dare_v have_v venture_v his_o soul_n to_o have_v be_v the_o carrier_n on_o of_o such_o diabolical_a design_n but_o i_o also_o think_v that_o our_o king_n have_v and_o will_v take_v such_o effectual_a care_n by_o put_v the_o law_n in_o execution_n that_o we_o may_v be_v free_a from_o the_o like_o future_a danger_n ii_o i_o think_v no_o man_n that_o be_v not_o void_a of_o reason_n loyalty_n to_o his_o king_n and_o love_n to_o his_o country_n can_v any_o way_n question_n but_o the_o same_o plot_n be_v still_o carry_v on_o yet_o by_o different_a man_n for_o different_a end_n viz._n by_o man_n call_v fanatic_n or_o common-wealths-man_n the_o papist_n contrive_v secret_o want_v a_o plausible_a pretence_n to_o take_v with_o the_o people_n the_o other_o find_v secret_a work_n will_v fail_v they_o therefore_o fly_v to_o the_o law_n endeavour_v to_o make_v that_o speak_v their_o treason_n legal_a and_o so_o delude_v the_o unwary_a by_o cover_v their_o horrid_a design_n with_o so_o fair_a a_o veil_n but_o dare_v they_o appear_v without_o that_o the_o multitude_n will_v soon_o cry_v tyburn_n tyburn_n as_o a_o just_a reward_n for_o such_o who_o will_v have_v wheedle_v they_o into_o slavery_n the_o papist_n will_v destroy_v our_o church_n and_o state_n so_o will_v the_o common-wealths-man_n the_o papist_n will_v set_v up_o popery_n and_o absolute_a monarchy_n the_o other_o a_o amsterdam_n religion_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o many_o but_o the_o latter_a design_v gentleman_n say_v they_o only_o endeavour_v to_o secure_v protestant_a religion_n and_o property_n it_o this_o be_v all_o pray_v why_o do_v they_o not_o accept_v the_o security_n the_o king_n offer_v such_o as_o be_v never_o offer_v by_o a_o king_n never_o refuse_v by_o a_o people_n for_o in_o case_n of_o the_o king_n death_n who_o life_n god_n long_o continue_v the_o administrative_a power_n will_v have_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o protestant_n and_o that_o by_o a_o law_n and_o pray_v what_o then_o can_v the_o d._n of_o york_n have_v do_v against_o power_n and_o law_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v these_o gentleman_n be_v for_o power_n in_o possession_n not_o in_o reversion_n for_o the_o king_n must_v either_o devolve_v upon_o they_o all_o but_o the_o name_n of_o king_n as_o navy_n militia_n and_o whatever_o be_v of_o value_n otherwise_o they_o will_v still_o suggest_v unto_o the_o people_n there_o be_v great_a danger_n of_o popery_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n oh_o foolish_a englishman_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o to_o believe_v such_o liar_n they_o say_v they_o will_v make_v our_o king_n a_o glorious_a king_n oh_o jesuit_n for_o they_o do_v not_o tell_v you_o where_o they_o laugh_v when_o you_o believe_v it_o here_o no_o heaven_n be_v the_o place_n they_o tell_v you_o they_o will_v make_v you_o a_o free_a people_n still_o mental_a reservation_n it_o be_v they_o will_v make_v you_o free_a to_o part_v with_o your_o money_n free_a to_o accept_v free_a quarter_n free_a of_o any_o religion_n so_o it_o make_v for_o their_o interest_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o tender_a as_o their_o conscience_n be_v they_o complain_v not_o against_o the_o jew_n synagogue_n here_o which_o be_v because_o they_o can_v hurt_v they_o no_o more_o will_v they_o against_o the_o papist_n will_v they_o bring_v land_n to_o they_o not_o take_v from_o they_o have_v not_o papist_n as_o much_o liberty_n in_o the_o late_a time_n as_o since_o but_o you_o will_v say_v they_o be_v then_o sequestrate_v so_o be_v protestant_n and_o both_o as_o they_o be_v delinquent_n and_o be_v not_o papist_n usual_o admit_v to_o composition_n with_o protestant_n be_v there_o not_o then_o as_o many_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n as_o since_o and_o how_o many_o then_o suffer_v as_o such_o not_o one_o but_o these_o zelots_n can_v then_o and_o will_v still_o be_v friend_n with_o papist_n may_v they_o but_o have_v the_o sovereign_a power_n king_n and_o church-land_n in_o their_o possession_n but_o these_o man_n can_v endure_v to_o hear_v of_o 40_o and_o 41._o it_o be_v great_a pity_n they_o can_v not_o have_v have_v their_o then_o act_n forget_v as_o well_o as_o forgive_v then_o indeed_o they_o may_v hope_v to_o accomplish_v their_o hellish_a design_n now_o as_o well_o as_o then_o o_o little_a politician_n what_o in_o one_o age_n to_o play_v one_o game_n twice_o but_o how_o do_v they_o acquit_v themselves_o of_o the_o parallel_n of_o 40_o and_o 41_o only_o with_o billingsgate_n language_n and_o the_o act_n of_o oblivion_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v forgive_v for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o act_v the_o same_o villainy_n over_o again_o but_o they_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o now_o as_o in_o 40_o and_o 41_o and_o i_o think_v they_o speak_v true_a as_o to_o one_o part_n viz_o that_o the_o people_n be_v not_o so_o tumultuous_a no_o thanks_o to_o they_o for_o now_o they_o go_v from_o house_n to_o house_n with_o their_o petition_n and_o glad_a to_o get_v any_o whereas_o before_o the_o people_n seek_v their_o petition_n but_o as_o for_o their_o leader_n they_o act_n as_o if_o seven_o unclean_a spirit_n more_o than_o before_o be_v enter_v into_o they_o otherwise_o what_o tend_v their_o so_o strenuous_a endeavour_v to_o get_v man_n of_o their_o old_a principle_n that_o can_v swallow_v all_o oath_n take_v sacrament_n upon_o they_o to_o be_v magistrate_n but_o that_o they_o may_v pack_v jury_n and_o so_o commit_v insolence_n without_o fear_n and_o make_v a_o way_n to_o be_v legal_a traitor_n yet_o these_o man_n will_v have_v you_o believe_v they_o be_v the_o only_a patriot_n of_o their_o country_n but_o do_v they_o not_o in_o 40_o and_o after_o prove_v wolf_n in_o sheep_n clothing_n and_o be_v not_o some_o of_o these_o now_o the_o very_a man_n that_o act_v then_o be_v they_o not_o of_o restless_a ambitious_a and_o covetous_a nature_n or_o man_n of_o break_a or_o break_a fortune_n and_o shall_v true_a englishman_n be_v such_o fool_n to_o believe_v those_o who_o have_v no_o better_a way_n to_o commend_v themselves_o to_o the_o people_n and_o to_o countenance_v all_o their_o act_n than_o by_o go_v about_o to_o make_v a_o breach_n upon_o the_o best_a constitution_n of_o government_n in_o the_o world_n by_o assert_v that_o the_o sovereign_a power_n lie_v in_o the_o commons_o and_o will_v have_v all_o man_n wonder_v why_o the_o king_n will_v not_o whole_o cast_v himself_o upon_o they_o now_o i_o will_v offer_v to_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o any_o man_n whether_o he_o will_v put_v himself_o under_o the_o guardianship_n of_o those_o that_o have_v murder_v his_o father_n and_o turn_v himself_o out_o of_o all_o and_o i_o will_v far_o offer_v whether_o the_o king_n have_v not_o reason_n to_o be_v equal_o jealous_a of_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n as_o of_o the_o papist_n the_o former_a in_o this_o age_n have_v actual_o subvert_v church_n and_o state_n the_o latter_a only_o plot_v so_o to_o do_v but_o this_o i_o know_v will_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o unpardonable_a crime_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o fanatic_a protestant_n shall_v allow_v themselves_o in_o that_o which_o they_o condemn_v in_o a_o papist_n viz_o to_o overthrow_v a_o protestant_a church_n and_o murder_v a_o protestant_n king_n but_o these_o zealous_a reformer_n say_v they_o design_v nothing_o but_o to_o make_v our_o king_n great_a so_o do_v they_o in_o 40._o they_o complain_v not_o against_o the_o king_n but_o against_o his_o evil_a counsellor_n so_o do_v they_o in_o 40._o they_o will_v be_v content_a with_o reformation_n so_o say_v they_o in_o 40._o but_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o they_o mean_v now_o as_o they_o say_v but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v it_o i_o suppose_v the_o king_n will_v never_o trust_v they_o so_o as_o to_o try_v they_o for_o some_o of_o these_o man_n be_v in_o 40_o and_o as_o yet_o they_o never_o show_v any_o change_n but_o in_o change_v get_v
