Government whatsoever To be short we will only instance France for all where they have publick Churches where they can make what Proselytes they please and where 't is not against Law to be in any charge or imployment Now Holland which permits every thing gives us 't is true our Lives and Estates but takes away all trust in Rule and leaves us also in danger of the Scout whensoever he pleases to molest our Meetings Because we have named France the Massacre will perchance be urged against us But the world must know that was a Cabinet Plot condemned as wicked by Catholick Writers there and of other Countries also Besides it cannot be thought they were murthered for being Protestants since 't was their powerful Rebellion let their faith have been what it would that drew them into thaâ— ill macâ—inated destruction May it not be as well said in the next Catholick Kings raign that the Duke of Guise and Cardinal Heads of the League were kill'd for their Religion also Now no body is ignorant but 't was their factious Authority which made that jealous Prince design their Deaths though by unwarrantable means If it were for Doctrine that Hugonots suffer'd in France this haughty Monarch would soon destroy them now having neither Force nor Town to resist his Might and Puissance They yet live free enough being even Members of Parliament and may convert the Kings Brother too if he thinks fit to be so Thus you see how well Protestants may live in a Popish Country under a Popish King Nor was Chaâ—lemaine more Catholick then this for though he contends sometimes with the Pope 't is not of Faith but about Gallicane Privileges which perchance he may very lawfully do Judge then worthy Patriots who are the best used and consider our hardship here in England where 't is not only a Fine for hearing Mass but death to the Master for having a Priest in his House and so far we are from Preserment that by Law we cannot come within 10. miles of London All which we know your great mercy will never permit you to exact It has been often urged that our Misdemeanours in Queen Elizabeths and King James his time was the cause of our punishment We earnestly wish that the Party had had more patience under that Princess But pray consider though we excuse not their faults whither it was not a question harder then that of York and Lancaster the cause of a War of such length and death of so many Princes who had most right Queen Elizabeth or Mary Stewart For since the whole Kingdom had Crown'd and sworn Allegiance to Queen Mary they had own'd her legitimate Daughter to Henry the Eighth and therefore 't was thought necessarily to follow by many that if Mary was the true Child Elizabeth was the Natural which must needs then give way to the thrice noble Queen of Scots 'T was for the Royal House of Scotland that they suffered in those days and 't is for the same Illustrious Family we are ready to hazard all on any occasion Nor can the consequence of the former proceedure be but ill if a Hen. 8. â—h whom Sir VV. Rawleigh and my Lord Cherbury two fâ—mous Protestants have so homely characterized should after twenty years co-habitation turn away his Wife and this out of scruple of Conscience as he said when as History declares that he never spared woman in his lust nor man in his fury Now for the Fifth of November with hands lifted up to Heaven we abominate and detest and from the bottom of our hearts say that may they fall into irrecoverable perdition who propagate that faith by the blood of Kings which is to be planted in truth and meekness only But let it not displease you Men Brethren and Fathers if we aâ—k whether Vlisses be no better known or who has forgot the Plots of Cromwell framed in his Closet not only to destroy many faithfull Cavileers but also to put a lustre upon his Intelligence as if nothing could be done without his knowledge Even so did the then gâ—eat Minister who dâ—ew some few Desâ—eâ—adâ—â—s into this conjuration and then discover'd it by a miracle This will easily appear viz. how little the Catholick party understood the design seeing there were not a score of guilty found though all imaginable industry was used by the Commons Lords and Privy Counsil too But suppose my Lords and Gentlemen which never can be granted that all the Papists of that age were consenting Will you be so severe then to still punish the Children for the Fathers faults nay such Children that so unanimously joyn'd with you in that glorious quarrel wherein you and we underwent such sufferings that needs we must have all sunk had not our mutual love assisted What have we done that we should now deserve your Anger Has the Indiscretion of some few Incenst you 'T is true that is the thing Objected Do not you know an Enemy may easily mistake a Mass-Bell for that which calls to Dinner or a Sequestrator glad to be affronted being Constable when 't was the hatred to his person and not present office which perchance egg'd a rash man to folly We dare with submission say let a publick invitation be put up against any party whatsoever nay against the Reverend Bishops themselves some malicious informer or other will alledge that which may be far better to conceal Yet all Mankind by a Manifesto on the House door are encouraged to accuse us Nor are they upon Oath though your Enemies and ours take all for granted and true It cannot be imagined where ther 's so many men of heat and youth overjoy'd with the happy Restauration at their Prince and remembring the Insolencies of the former Grandees that they should all at all times prudently carry themselves for this would be to be more then men And truly we esteem it as a particular blessing that God has not suffer'd many through vanity or frailty to fall into greater faults then are yet as we understand laid to our charge Can we choose but be dismay'd when all things fail that extravagant Crimes are fathered on us It is we that must be the Authors some say of Fireing the City even we that have lost so vastly by it Yet truly in this our ingenuity is great since we think it no Plot though our Enemy an Hâ—â—gâ—not Protestant acknowledged the fact and was justly executed for his vain Conâ—ession Again if a Merchant of the Church of England buy Knives for the business of his Trade this also presently is a Papist contrivance to destroy the well affected We must a little complain finding it by experience that by reason you discountenance us the People rage and again because they rage we are the more forsaken by you Assured we are that our Conversation is affable and our Houses so many hospitable receipts to our Neighbors Our acquaintance therefore we fear at no time but it is the stranger we dread
