England's Improvements Iustified and the Author thereof Captain Y. vindicated from the scandals in a Paper called a Coffee-House Dialogue With some Animadversions upon his Popish Designs therein contained MAlice and Envy are the inseperable Companions of a Diabolical Nature and that contagion is never more apparent than by its dreadful symptoms where it throws out its sulphureous fiery stink-pots of calumnies and slanders blasting the reputations of the best of men lessening and levelling at the most Heroick Actions and endeavouring to make the greatest designs for the weal-publick frustrate and abortive Thus malice pregnant with revenge and envy in her insatiate repining● again Virture joyn their consultations to suggest falshoods steals from Discourses the Antecedent occasion making in some parts a divorce between the precedent matter and coherent Discourse and like an ill-seasoned Vessel Qodcunque infandit acescit perverts all even the most pleasant Liquors to its corrupt nature Thus hath this virulent Dialogist dipt his Pen in poyson and rather than his repining envy should not be answered in its importunities will expose his weakness as well as wickedness to the World forgetting what he declares to have read in the Lord Bacons Essays That silence in a Fool may pass for wisdom Vir sapit qui pauca loquitur few words become the wise but I must invert the words for his sake Vir 〈◊〉 qui pauca sapit the Fool is known by his babling Sacred Writ records an Ass to speak for the preservation of its Master to his conviction in his evil undertaking but the creature by creation superior to that heavy animal brays out forged frivolous defamations and that so apparently false that his own Popish Herd blushing at his folly will say Etiam Asin●● noster calcitrat wondring that this dull insipid creature durst lift up his foot against a man of so true worth industry and ingenuity as that honest Captain the glory of whose publick spirit so manifest to the World so far surmounts all those mists of envy that no idle reflections can touch the belief of any man of common sense that this worthy Patriot so I must justly stile him for his great merit in his publick undertakings can be guilty of any such Solecisms take the folly to your self Sir and then laugh as simply at your own ginglings for which all men else contemns you and were it not your happiness to be unknown there 's not a Barrester of the Temple but would kick you for fathering such a changling simple Brat upon so honourable a calling as a Barresters and whoever shall lose so much time to read your nonsence will find you but an Imp of Rome a Popish Pettyfogger a Vermin that spits out only poyson to divide the Protestant interest thereby to support a languishing Cause which the high hand of God has hitherto witnessed against from whose Almighty Power none of your black Dirges nor all your Idols Jesuits and Devils to help you can deliver you But before I come to examine your Paper in its several Paragraphs I must shew you how unfarely you deal with this honest Gentleman either you were one of the Society or not if you were and the matter were true you are a Traytor a Iudas acting against the Laws and Rules of human Society Odi ●●●morem compotorem you are to be detested and abandoned by all civil Company and if you were not of the Society you can know nothing and your whole Discourse is a feigned undertaking and how easie a matter is it for a man to lay absurdities at any mans door when the same man out of a malitious design first makes the Question and also the Answer has the contrivance of the whole conference by himself and yet a person knowing nothing wholly innocent must be exposed from this Arrow shot in the dark no man can be safe and whether the Captain ought to father so scandalous a Bastard I leave it to all wise and just mens censure This being the true state of the business the Captain having never had this conference he must be cleared from whatsoever is contained in this forged Dialogue 〈◊〉 innocence when he heard of it only procured a smile with this answer spreta vilescunt falshoods must perish are soonest destroyed by contempt ●o that he needs no further vindication and his works shall praise him in the Gates and so fully be-speak his worth that every English man is now obliged in his quarrel and upon that account I take my self concerned without his knowledg and must give this publick scandal the lye as publickly without which I could neither satisfie my self or answer the duty I owe to the Rules of friendship nor be just to the honour of the Captains worth and innocence being a frequenter of that Society where I had the injoyment of pregnant and ingenious Gentlemen and no such trumpery could take place there But for your reflections upon Rivers making navigable who will controvert the great advantage they are in all places to Trade and Commerce and a common good Is this a crime for a man to demonstrate saving your ridicule which belongs to your self of making the Streets of London navigable and for lodging of Ships upon an Hill what will be your reward to impose impossibilities But what the Captain proposed for harbouring a considerable number of Ships in safety is no Chymera as your folly remarks for it has been demonstrated to many persons of honour and that with a fair and plausible reception and for his Register which your inventions kick about with so much slight I must say Ars nullum habet inimicum preter ignorantem you speak evil of the things you know not or your ill nature envies and would blast what you cannot imitate but for these things let Englands Improvement speak for it self there the profits and advantages of a Register will appear with the advancement of Trade by Lombard-Houses and Common Stores which are all made practicable in forreign parts and now by the hazard of his life in long travels the sweat of his brows and vast expence is brought by him home and made publick for general good and is this the reward But 't is no marvel Quid cum amaraco sui what must Swine do with such Pearls This Dialogue-maker I perceive is for no improvements he has been train'd up for French Government to bring Popery into Church and slavery upon the Nation and to that purpose he introduces a forged discourse with the Captain's to frustrate the happiness of a free people methinks I see poor Scribler how his Hypocondrias are distended and like to burst with envy when he beheld the grandure and gravity of the Lord Mayors installment the great Character of Englands freedom not to be paralell'd in the Government of any Prince in the World this adds to the glory of the Crown that our King commands the hearts and hands of free-born Subjects flourishing under his gracious protection with a
