Aries as you may read in Cardan Seg. 5. Aphor. 45. where he tells us that it signifies the Multitude i. e. that Captain Tom should do the Nation Justice upon Popish Offenders was it so or not John Lying is an inherent Faculty and thou canst not leave it But in his fifth there he hath shewed himself to a hair for first he falsly imagines a Cause to build his malicious and bloody Prediction upon without Cause and what was this for why it was to support and incourage his treasonable Party and Popish Crew in their further Attempts to destroy the Protestants and Protestant Religion And pray observe how confidently the Fellow tells his Party that in case of Invasion for he and they too knew there was no danger without that they should certainly hear of the Prince and the rest of the Peers and Gentlemen being beaten taken and brought to make Speeches at Towerhill and Tyburn this was not spoke by Chance or in Discourse but with premeditated Malice against his Majesty and the Protestants and with his earnest Hopes desires and wishes to see it accomplished for in all Times and under all Governments he is certainly a Villain to the height and always of the same Religion that the chief of the Government are of And do you but count how many Changes there have been in the English Government in point of Worship especially since the Year 1645 or 6 and just so often hath honest John changed his Perswasion in Religion and once more that was when he turned Ranter and should the Great Turk come he would take up his old Topick i.e. That God always sends a King of that Religion which he expects the People should be of Now the Question is whether John Gadbury the Parson of Putney and Harry Hills ever intend to dye Martyrs These are three special Fellows But now John suppose his Majesty should turn the Tables and as you have doom'd him to make a Speech at Towerhill he should send you to make a Speech at Tyburn or what is according to your late Mode let you walk from Aldgate to Tyburn having a Man go behind you to brush the Dust and the Flies off from your Back on your way and this I am sure you deserve if not for that yet for your now preaching up Sedition to amuse his Majesties Subjects and carry on the Popish Cause for there are divers Ladies that I have spoke with that say they have heard you tell it confidently that the Abdicated King would be here by Midsummer and you advised the Papists to use their Interest accordingly nay I have heard the same from some Papists also and I can bring them to your Face but they are People of more Honour than to turn Evidences you know who you have told it to tho perhaps not how many Ah John thou art not only an Ill Perfidious Traiterous Sycophantizing Scorpionist but a notorious Liar also thy very Nativity bespeaks thee to be all this and from your own Rules too But prithee John why Towerhill and Tyburn you see your cursed Crew are not so dealt with tho you deserve it far more but indeed Whipping-posts Jailes and Gibbets were the common Favours you Papists did use to bestow on the Protestants at that time and we know it will be the same again if ever they get the Power and for that reason John I am for your having a taste of it now to try the Experiment In the last Paragraph he draws a Parallel between the Invasion in 1588 and 1688 and tells you he doubts not but to see the last prove as the first did Now John are you not ashamed how can you look any Gentleman in the Face without blushing after all this Trick Cheat and Lying But prithee John consider that the Invasion of 1588 was to bring in Popery and this of 1688 was to kick it out in both which you see the Judgment of an angry God against their Idolatry and Lying which you blasphemously call Religion Again John prithee how did you look when you call'd James your King a merciful pious Prince I confess Cabinet Jones gave him that Character when he wrote to us at Amsterdam but no body believed him because we knew him better Honest John thou hast sufficiently shewed to the World that thy whole Life hath been a continued course of Villany and Knavery And this little Paper hadst thou never been guilty would have made thee suspicious but now it is a Confirmation of all the rest and helps to make thee a compleat And this leads me to consider thy Almanack this Year in which thou hast been extravagantly idle and impudent which I refer to every ones Judgment in the reading what follows IN Page 7. speaking of the Spring Quarter he says it speaks better things to Great Britain than the English Libelling Renegado's in Holland dream of Query whether he means the Abdicated Lords and Bishop now at Amsterdam or not for I know no Renegado's else in Holland there are divers besides in France and Ireland In January in his Rime doggerel over the Month he begs the place to be the Prince of Wales his Vassal Thus you see there can never be a good place vacant but one Knave or another is always ready to beg it Well let him take it and pray take care that Honest John may be entered down in the Book of Honour for the Prince of Wales his Slave There is a pair of them like Master like Man. In this Month he hath taken a great deal of care to put down King Char. the Martyr but if you observe November he hath quite forgot Gunpowder-Treason and yet a very good Protestant why really he did tell me long since that there never was any such thing and that it was only a Trick of King James the First this gave me the first suspicion of his being a Papist In the Month of April he tells us that Dr. Oates was to stand in the Pillory at Tyburn on the 24th day and so to do every Year on that day as long as he lives Query who saw it and whether Jack was not mistaken in the Point as he used to be risum teneatis But in May he makes a long Harangue about his unjust Trial and tells us that on those days there mentioned he was to be punished and afterward to remain in Prison during his Life But Honest John hath lived to see himself prov'd a Liar and the unjust Judges to see their unjust Sentence and Judgment called in Question by their Superiors Was there ever such a base and barbarous Sentence given before no nor would now by any but Dispensing Judges nor none but a Traiterous Scorpionist would so triumph over a poor Gentleman's Sufferings In August and September John hath impudently repeated his former Folly and tells us that Dr. Oates is to stand in the Pillory again on those several days and so to do as long as he lives What way could

must we revert into Popery and put our Lives into our Enemies hands again to give them an Opportunity to try their good Nature and see whether they will Cut our Throats or not possibly it may pass upon and among Passive-Obedience-Men but never upon me and I hope many more However I doubt not but these Things will be proved when it is convenient In the mean Time God bless them that take care to secure the Nation against Popery and Tyranny and assure yourselves they that will not believe the pretended Prince of Wales to be Supposititious before 't is proved will as much doubt it then and so of the rest for they are certainly Favorers of that pious Cause These were good humble People before and then the Prince of Orange was an Angel to them but now I hear that they talk so unreasonable as if they seem'd to long to be sent to Prison and Secured and indeed they do not stick to say the Government dares not meddle with them But I shall say no more to these ungrateful Persons but this that their present Majesties are our Lawful King and Queen that they are Protestants and have promised and sworn to defend our Liberties and Religion and all that are Protestants are bound by the Laws of God and Nature to stand by and defend them to the utmost of their power and he that is not of this Opinion neither deserves their Protection nor their Permission to live in their Dominions but like Cain to be driven forth and be a Vagabond on the Earth as he was Now the God of Heaven preserve King William and Queen Mary our Lawful Soveraigns and give them plentifully of his Spiritual Wisdom that they may govern us according to his Will let them live long and happy and become a Terror to all their and our Enemies and as God hath given a signal Testimony to us by them and the great Miracle they have wrought in our Deliverance so let us always sincerely implore the Throne of Grace to defend them all their days and when this Life shall end to make them partakers of his Eternal Bliss for ever and ever So wisheth J. P. A Copy of a Malicious Paper given forth among the Papists by that grand Impostor and Apostate J. Gadbury a litele before the Prince landed in these words following 1. THe Prince of Orange hath an Effeminate Geniture and therefore can never prove a Conqueror 2. He is under a most malicious Revolution at the present as having a Square of Mars and Mercury therein as in his Radix denoting much Treachery to be acted not only by but against him I conceive the Dutch are weary of him and also of the English Renegado Rebels and therefore make use of him as the Munkey did of the Cats Foot viz. at once to disembogue themselves of the said Rebels whose Company renders them obnoxious to so great a Prince as the King of England and likewise to be totally rid of Him without Dewitting him 3. His Hylegical Directions are pernicious he hath lately passed M. C. to the Square of the Moon a Direction of fixed Malice but could not work his Ruine because the Moon delights in Taurus the place of the Direction But he is under at present his Horoscope to the Square of Jupiter and the Sun of a violent Influence and Import in earnest as happening in Opposition to the Pleiades a turbulent and violent Constellation 4. At this very time when his Maritine Busse and Preparation is at the greatest the Moon his own and Nations Planet is eclipsed in Aries an Equinoctial Sign and the Horoscope of England viz. under the Dominion of England's Soveraign 5. And if he go on Ship-board on Monday next the Moon will be in Taurus in Opposition to the Sun and Jupiter in his own Geniture and this among the Pleiades also and likewise in Opposition to a powerful Mars in Scorpio in a Figure of Heaven that greatly favours England and all its present Affairs which seriously considered with the Revolutions Directions and Eclipses before noted is an absolute Prodromus of his Ruine according to natural Causes and in little time in case of Invasion we shall hear of his and his Party 's total Overthrow and Destruction Probably some of his great ones and perhaps Himself will be brought against their Will to make Speeches at Tower-hill and at Tyburn c. 6. England was invaded by the Spaniard in 1588 but what did they get by it their Armado was ruined and this Noble Nation was quickly rid of its pestiferous Enemies and so I doubt not by God's Blessing but 't will be so again in 1688 the English Nation is wise tho stubborn and will sooner submit to a merciful pious Prince they know than come under the Yoke of a Conqueror Some short Animadversions thereon HIS first Paragraph is needless for the Prince now our King did not come to Conquer but to Deliver the Nation from Popery and Tyranny and also to preserve the Peoples Throats from being cut In his second the King is mightily beholden to him for his modest Simily of comparing him to the Cats Foot do but observe the Malice of the Fellow in what scandalous Terms he useth one of the greatest Princes in Europe and how he licks the Popish Fops up with Oil of Fool for the Dutch were not as he calls it obnoxious afraid of the then King of England and the reason was because they knew him better than to fear him But pray you John why the Cats Foot is it a Popish Witticism or hath the Cat deserved ill of Mother Church for I see you use it out of Contempt because you gave it to the then Prince of Orange and I suppose you thought by giving the Prince ill Names your then Client the Popish Lady to whom you gave that Lying Paper would more willingly part with her Mony but this is no News for it shews you to be Honest John Gadbury still let what Religion will come thou wilt be sure to be on the rising side You know at that time you could give no Protestant a good word and I wonder you used the Prince so kindly and you know John when it was the fashion to whip honester Men than your self for less Crimes than this His third Paragraph shews not only his Malice but his Ignorance also in Astrology for the first Direction he speaks of hath been over this 20 Years and the second will not come up these 20 Years yet to come but suppose it were true where is the violent Effect he so idly talks of This is like his Story of Sir Frechvil Holles and just as true for he promised him he should live 20 Years and he was kill'd within six Months after Ah Jack thy Astrology is as true as thy Religion thou art an Infallible Tool In his fourth he hath strain'd his Nonsence to a Miracle for none but J. Gad. did ever give that Judgment of an Eclipse in

this Fellow have taken better than this to let the World know his Malice Impudence and Folly Now I will venture a Wager of five to one with John Gadbury that there is not a word of this will prove true if so our Popish Oracle is quite out of biass and his Cant of this kind quite out of date Now the Question is Whether John can find a Salvo for this Mistake for if he had known that Popery would have kick'd up its heels I dare say he would not have declared himself a Papist so soon nor when he did nor have wrote so much fulsome stuff about his Master the supposed Prince of Wales which is nauscous to every Mans Palate nor yet have writ this about Dr. Oates as a Record of his Folly and Ignorance Besides this calls his pretended Skill in Astrology extramely in question and is an assured proof that Honest John knows no more of the Mystery lodged in the Stars than his Master the Prince of Wales knows or the Ancient and famous Tom. Thum. However so long as he can coin new Aphorisms impose Palladiums of Cities on those that will believe him and tell the World that the Cardinal Signs upon the Angles of a Nativity signify great things it is enough to give some ground to the Ignorant to believe his canting Bounces that he yearly prints under the Notion of Astrology when I dare assure you he is very little acquainted with it as you shall see further proved upon him when I come to examine his several impertinent Treatises that he hath imposed on the Worsd But suppose any one should go to those places on those days he speaks of to see whether it be so or not for John is of a Religion that can work Miracles why truly it will but add so much pains to your credulous Folly for now the Fellow believes himself to be a Liar and they say a Liar is worse than a Thief but he knows best whether he is or no yet a Remnant must be saved Ah John In November he tells us when Father Petre was sworn of the King's Council and took his place I wonder the Fellow is not ashamed to let the World know what a Crew of Traitors that King caused to be sworn of his Council as Butler and divers others which you may read in his Observations yet the grand obnoxious Person Jefferies he hath omitted I doubt he had forgot him for he was a Privy-Councellor also What can this shew but that he was and is a Papist and did approve all their Actions and if you question his being a Papist look but into December where he endeavours to justify the Lord Stafford and brings in this Expression Say Anti-Catholick is not the Truth discovered c. by this he challenged all that were not Papists himself being out of the number and yet I hear he hath already had the Impudence to say by Heavens I am not a Papist I wonder People should say so By which we may see he can change his Religion when he pleaseth and finds occasion In the Page before his Advertisements he calls all those perjured that were concerned in the Popish Plot as Evidences Now there is no Man but can see through this Villany of his for we have all lived to see what they swore and did endeavour to prevent upon us and a great deal more I perceive this zealous Gentleman would have these Perjuries understood only against those that died Papists yet not a word of those wretched Persons that swore many honest Protestants out of their Lives Nay I my self was offered by a Papist when I was in trouble that if I would hang half a dozen Fanaticks for so they termed them I should have my Pardon and I promised to do it thereby to get an opportunity to make my Escape and this Man was an Intimate of Honest John Gadbury's Now what think you of Perjury for they never asked me if I knew any thing of them but if I would hang them In his Advertisments he tells us of a Full Reply to a Treasonable Almanack printed in Holland in which he gives me such base Language and so much of it that it is a shame to mention it his common Complement being Rogue Rascal and Traitor with more such stuff but that which I would remind him of is to tell us by the next where it is to be bought for Honest Nat is gone to Purgatory and the Book is very much wanted And so I have for this bout done with my old Friend John Gadbury James the Second's Jugler and Astrologer in ordinary to the next Popish Plot where I shall leave him in a very fair way to be and conclude with these few wise and zealous Sayings of this pious Proselyte This is the Gentleman that in my hearing said in 1685 that now the true Religion was coming in again having been long excluded This is that Person that said the first time he was at Mass there were also twelve English Peers at Mass at the same time This is the Proselyte that told Mr. C. meeting him as he came from Mass that Popery was the only true Religion and right way to Heaven This is Honest Jack that said no Man should be preferred but Roman Catholicks and such as would be So when the King pleased This is he that carried Mr. B. to several Papists to be converted and when they could not prevail upon him he said he must be forced to have him to Father Petre and Father Ellis This is that Impudent Fellow that said it would never be well till the King that was James laid by Parliaments and ruled by his Absolute Power This was that corrupt Fellow that perswaded Dangerfield to murder Charles the Second And this is that Villain that said he hoped to see the Prince of Orange now our King whom God preserve brought Prisoner to London and to make a Speech at Tower-hill or Tyburn FINIS I Am ordered to acquaint the World That there will be shortly a most Excellent Treatise published wherein 't is proved by Mathematical Demonstration how many Minutes a Candle of sixteen to the Pound will burn together with divers Rules of good Husbrandy Collected for the good of all frugal Men by a Person of Quality in his late Travels
