I Was born at Milton near Sittingborne in Kent in the Year 1671. My Father's Name was Robert Fuller and my Mothers was Catherine Herbert Daughter to the Honourable Charles Herbert Esq of Montgomery-shire in Wales I was Educated some time at Maidstone and Canterbury by my Father-in-Law And was afterwards brought to London to School at the Charge of one Cornelius Harflet Gent.

Page of Honour to the late Queen A Further CONFIRMATION That MARYGREY was the True Mother of the Pretended Prince of Wales c. SIR COming this Day out of the Country I found Yours left for me and ●hink it a Duty to my Coun●ry to give you this short An●wer to your several Inquiries ●iz First You tell me That you ●dmire I did not Publish this Narrative sooner To which I Answer That my Misfortunes before the House of Commons occasioned by my Engageing for Col. Dalleval and Mr. Hayes had not only rendered me obnoxious but groaning under the Intolerable burthen of my unjust Usage I was denyed leave to Publish my own Defence by the Lord N. notwithstanding the whole Narrative as is now Publish'd Entituled The Discovery of the True Mother of the Pretended Prince of Wales wa● laid before the present King and His late Royal Consort of Blessed Memory in the Year 1690 at the last time of my coming from France And it is wel known to most Great men that several Persons of Quality of Ireland and many more in England have been Examined concerning this matter whose Depositions agreed with my Narrative besides Mrs. Labodies Letters to her Father concerning the whole Intriegue being taken and remitted to Their Majesties did plainly Demonstrate the Management of this Supposititious Birth And it is well known that the Queen Commanded the Copies of Madam Labodies Letters to be Printed which the Lord N. prevented by pretending they were mislaid In your Second Inquiry you say You cannot Imagin that the Late King James ' s Queen being so discreet a Woman should trust me a mere boy at that time with matters that so nearly concern'd their Intrest To which I answer that many knows that I not only went off with the late Queen at her first going for France but I was the first by her sent back into England after her Arrival there with Letters to King James when he was taken at Feversham I overtook his Majesty at Rochester and delivered the Queens Letters to his own Hand and waited on him to London and back to Rochester again from whence I was Dispatcht with his Majesty's Letters back to the late Queen in France again How much I was favoured and trusted by the late King and Queen at St. Germains is generally known to most Intelligible Persons for whilst I was there it was matter of Admiration to most about the Court that I had such frequent Admittance to their Majesties daily in Private Thirdly You say You admire that having been under the Censure of the Honourable House of Commons and Convicted of a Misdemeanor I should assume so much as the least hopes of being Credited In answer therefore permit me to tell you and all the World That my Misfortunes before the House of Commons was not the Effects of my Informations for when those were laid before the House it was on the same Day that the Lord Preston's and Mr. Crones's Confessions on Oath were read and Corroborated mine insomuch that the House made an humble Address to His Majesty to advance my Pension which was accordingly done My Misfortunes were occasioned thro' the Immaturity of my Judgment which was too easily Impos'd upon by the perfidiousness of my false Friends viz. Dalleval and Hayes before-mentioned of which you have a particular Relation in my Narrative Therefore I now only touch on this point flinging my self intirely on the Justice of any Judicious Member of Parliament for the Confirmation of what I relate that was present in the House when my Informations and the others Confessions were read And furthermore 't is evident that the late horrid Conspiracy against His Majesties Sacred Person and the Kingdom in general is just the same and managed by the very same Persons which I so long since Discovered Therefore tho' Truth be Oppress'd and suffer for a while the World I hope will not be so Unjust as to deny me this Oppertunity of Vindicating my Integrity which Just Heaven has at Last afforded me as I shall shortly undeniably prove to the World 'T is true I was convicted and suffered for a Misdemeanor But it was only for those Gentlemen viz. Dallevall and Hayes not appearing in which Case I was most Barbarously used for there where several Oppertunities of taking them at their Coming to England afterwards but I was in Prison and the Lord N. who knew of their being in Town instead of Detecting them allow'd them Leave to go beyond Sea and afterwards pretended his Hand and Seal was Counterfeited This is also known to many and I hope will Satisfie any Impartial Judge Fourthly You Charge me with Having published my Narrative purely to get money for Bread which you apprehend I want being lately come out of the Kings-Bench But in that as in Other matters you suspect me basely For I Declare to the World and the Printer with whom I am concerned will Depose on Oath if required that I gave him the Copy gratis and never received nor am I to receive one Penny for it tho I must confess in the like Case those that have less occasion for Money have sold their Copies And for your other Charge I have been freed from the King's-Bench near Twenty Months Fifthly You likewise Charge me That when I was in Flanders I borrowed money by pretending to be Son in-Law to his Grace the late Arch-Bishop of Canterbury To this I answer that the latter part is false Tho I cannot deny that I charged a Bill of fifty Pounds on his Grace which sum I borrowed of one Mr. Brand a Scotchman at Brussels which was by the Bishops Permittance for the matter I went then about was only known to the Queen and his Grace who at my departure from England told me I might draw a Bill on him in Case my Occasions required it and the said Bill was paid out of the Privy Purse My business was matter of consequence and required Secresie and therefore when I met with Impertinent Questions I was constrain'd to divert them by Answers that might give no Suspicion of the matter I was Engaged in Your last Objection against me is The many Pranks you say I have played in the World to get Money as was Published in a Libel some Years since It was Published at a time when I could have no Justice otherwise I
