submitted to the scrutiny of the Books and challenge the men that are now in the Navy and Admiral●y Offices as to the truth of every thing he asserts that King Iames proceeded ●ui●a●ly to it No Prince was ever more careful to encrease and encourage Trade which he understands better than any Prince in Eu●ope None more diligent to appoint Convoys or the Security of it and none ever took juster measures in order to those ●nds None ever was more indefatigable in the encreasing of the Navy Royal None ever more industrious in filling the Magazines with Naval and M●litary Stores But above all by his project of Liberty of Conscience our Trade Weal●h and People and consequently our Shipping would have been encreased to the envy and terrour of all our Neighbours It was an early disc●very of those designs and measures of his which would have p●oved so fatal to their Common-Wealth that induced the D●tch to forward the Prince's undertaking and did I think the Prince of O●ange had any re●ard to any thing besides his own unmeaning Will could I believe he was touched with any love of his Native Soil I should believe that love upon thes● Considerations made him also the rather attempt the Revolution he effected I can more easily believe he did it upon that account then upon any of those Motives which were plausibly expressed in some parts of his Declaration Upon the whole those Hopes of King Iames might have been accomplished if ●hey had not been frustrated by the restiness of some the giddiness of others and the artful Treachery of too many with whom he trusted his most inward thoughts They might have been accomplished if the implacable aversion of some men to his Person of others to the Family of the Stuarts joyned with the Flatteries first of the pretended Church of England men and then of Fanaticks had not made him uncertain which way to turn and so given an easier oppertunity to his corrupted Ministers to betray him into such Councils as brought forth this Revolution Which Revolution has fatally diverted the application of our Councils Strength and Treasure into a Channel which will never turn to anaccount and into a sort of War wherein our Trade and Shipping are neglected whereby certain and inevitable Ruin is overtaking us unless we suddainly come to an end of it And notwithstanding Doctor what you say page 13 th time will inform all true English men and lovers of their Country that they ought for the sake o● it to set their Hands and Hearts to the Accomplishing the King's Restoration as the only means to secure to us lasting Peace and Happi●ess our Religion and our Liberties nor will all the bantering Stuff wherewith you declaim page 19 th and 20 th frighten us from 〈◊〉 Restoring him I have dwelt a little too long upon this Head but before I conclude I must go as far back as Page the third wherein you challenge all the Kin●'s Declarati●n-makers to give but one single Instance from History that ever a People who nom a just and recent sence of an invasion made by a limit●d Monarch upon their Laws and Fun●amental Constitution had thereupon withdrawn their Allegiance from him and conterr'd it upon another did ever afterwards willingly and tamely subm●t to his Government again By this bold Challenge Doctor I find you have not read much History for such instances so frequently occur in the Records of all Countries that I will undertake that if you will be at the pains to search you may find for one instance where a Monarch was excluded for ever six instances where a limited Monarch dethroned by his People for Male-administrations has by the same People either himself been called back if alive or his Children if he was dead neither does the last any thing alter the case for since all these vi●lent Hurricanes of State occasioned by popular Reformations require it may be sometime to wear o●● the present Fit in that interval the expell●d Prince ma● dye but if the People come again so far to themselves a● to restore the Children by the same Revolution of their Inclinations they would unquestionably have done the same thing to the Father if he had been alive But to produce some Instances I shall omit many that might be given from the Emperou●s and Princes of Germany the Antient Kings of Macedon and the several Kingdoms of Greece all which were limited Soveraignties I will not men●ion Fe●dinand of Naples Charles the fourth Leuis the fourth and Charles the seventh of France nor will I speak of Sueno and Christopher the second of Denmark or Alphonso the third of Castile I will not insist upon Lasius King of Poland any more then upon those Revolutions that were not long since in Flanders Brabant c. where those People transf●rr'd their Allegiance to the Duke of Alanson and being so many distinct and limited Principalities make so many several Instances I say I will no● must upon any of these Examples tho' they are all pretty apposite and are still upon the Records of Time as you phrase it unl●ss you Doctor have lately razed them But to come to your own Country were not Reuther Donald B●n● and Atherick Kings of Scotland exp●lled by their People for their Irregularities Did not their People transfer their Allegiance to others And were not they afterwards restored by the same People the two first in their own Persons and the last in his Posterity Will you look over what we have done in England Does not Iohn Milion in his History of it tell you that Ethelred when he was expelled and the Allegiance of his People transfered was sent to by his People who declared they preferred none before their own lawful Soveraign if he would promise to Go●ern better than he had done I set down the Words of the Historian and if you will look into him you will find his People rep●ssessed Ethelred upon promise to do so In the same Historian you may find no l●ss than two others of the same Name that were expelled and r●called in Person by their People I will conclude this Head with the Restoration of King Charles the Second was not King C●a●les the First not only deposed but put to Death by his Subjects and that upon the Allegation of more numerous Crimes and some of them more hainous too than those charged upon King Iames Was not his Son Charles the Second after his Father's Death expelled the Kingdom and the Allegiance of the People of England transferred first to many and then to a single Person under the Name of P●otector tho' in effect a King And ye● was not the very same despised calumniated and abju●ed Charles Stuart as they then called him afterwards peaceably and willingly called home by the uni●ed desires of the People of England Had the Father King Charles the First been then a●ive would not he as cer●ain●y have been calle● home since the revulse of the People was
