He disappointeth the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their Enterprise Printed in the Year 1678. THE FIRST LETTER OF Mr Coleman's To the French Kings Confessor MONSIEUR LE-CHEER Since Father Sir Germaine hath been so kind to me as to recommend me to your Reverence so advantagiously or to encourage you to accept my Correspondence I will own to him that he has done me a Favour without consulting me greater than I could have been capable of if he had advised with me because I should not then have had the confidence to have permitted him to ask it in my behalf And I am so sencible of the honour you are pleased to do me that though I cannot deserve it yet at least to shew the sence I have of it I will deal as freely and openly with you at this first time as if I had the honour of your Acquaintance all my life and shall make no Apollogy for so doing but only tell you I know your Character perfectly well tho I am not so happy as to know your Person and that I have an opportunity of putting this Letter into the hands of Father Sir Germaines Nephew for whose integrity and prudence he has undertaken without any sort of hazard In order then Sir to the plainness which I promise I will tell you what has plainly passed between your Reverend Predecessor Father Ferriers and my self about three years ago when the King my Master sent a Troop of his Horse-Guards into the Most Christian Majestys Service under the Command of my Lord Duras He sent with it an Officer called Sir William Frogmorton with whom I had a particular intimacy and he had then very newly embraced the Catholick Religion and to him did I constantly write and by him address my self to Father Ferriers The first thing of great importance which I presumed to offer to him not to trouble you with lesser matters of what passed here and immediately after the fatal Renunciation of the Kings Declaration for Liberty of Conscience to which we owe all our late mischiefs and hazards was in July August and September 1673. when I constantly inculcated the great danger the Catholick Religion and his most Christian Majesties Interest would be in at our next Session of Parliament which was then to be in October following at which I plainly foresaw that the King my Master would be forced to something in preiudice of his Alliance with France which I saw so evidently and particularly that we should make Peace with Holland that I weighed all the Arguments I could which to me were Demonstrations to convince your Court of that Mischief and pressed what I could to perswade his Christian Majesty to use his utmost force to prevent that Sitting of our Parliament and proposed Expedients how to do it But I was answered so often and so positively that his Christian Majesty was so well assured by his Ambassador here our Ambassador there the Lord Arlington and even the King himself that he had no such apprehensions at all but was fully satisfied of the contrary and lookt upon what I offered as a very zealous mistake that I was forced to give over arguing tho not believing as they did but confidently appealed to time and success to prove who took their measures rightest When it happened that which I fore-saw came to pass the good Father was a little surprised to see all the Great Mens mistake and a Little one in the Right and was pleased by Sir William Frogmorton to desire the Continuance of my Correspondence which I was mighty willing to comply with knowing the interest of our King and in a more particular manner of my more immediate Master the Duke and his Most Christian Majesty to be so inseperably united that it was impossible to divide them without destroying them all Upon this I shewed That our Parliament in the Circumstances it was mannaged by the temerous Counsels of our Ministers who then Governed could never be useful either to England France or the Catholick Religion but that we should as certainly be forced from our Neutrality at their next Meeting as we had been from our active Alliance with France the last that a Peace in the Circumstances we were in was much more to be desired than the continuance of the War that the Desolution of our Parliament would certainly procure a Peace for that the Confederates did more depend upon the Power they had in our Parliament than upon any thing else in the World and were more encouraged from thence to continue the War so that if that were Dissolved their Measures would be all broken and they consequently in a manner necessitated to a Peace The good Father minding this discourse some what more than the Court of France thought fit to do my former urged it so home to the King that his Majesty was pleased to give him Order to signifie to his Royal Highness my Master that his Majesty was fully satisfied of his Royal Highnesses good intention towards him and that he esteemed both their Interests but one and the same that my Lord Arlington and the Parliament were both to be lookt upon as very unuseful to their Interest and that if his Royal Highness would endeavour to Dissolve this Parliament his Majesty would assist him with his Power and Purse to have such a new one as would be for their purpose This and a great many more expressions of kindness and confidence Father Ferier was pleased to communicate to Sir William Frogmorton and commanded him to send them to his Royal Highness and withal to beg his Royal Highness to propose to his Most Christian Majesty what he thought necessary for his own Concern and the advantage of Religion and his Majesty would certainly do all he could to advance both or either of them This Sir William Frogmorton sent to me by an Express who left Paris June 2 1674. Stilo Novo I no sooner had it but I communicated it to his Royal Highness to which his Royal Highness commanded me to Answer as I did on the 29th of the same Month. That his Royal Highness was very sensible of his Most Christian Majesties Friendship and that he would labour to cultivate it with all the good Offices
