A30722	Explanatory notes upon a mendacious libel called Concubinage and poligamy disproved; written by a nameless author, in answer to a book writ by J.B. as being a scurrilous libel, as not fit to be stiled an answer. As may appear, by a catalogue of notorious and villainous lies, and Billingsgate raileries, and dunghil language, to be shewed therein. By J.B. B.D.	J. B. (John Butler)	1698 (1698)	Wing B6271; ESTC R219424	14,505	32

bound up to be sold and several of them sold off before my Face which Book being stuft with invictives against two Kings and filled with malicious Lies Take a taste of one or two of them as follows That the Lady Castlemain seduced from her Loyolty to her Husband and enticed into the Arms of the happily restored Prince Which was not only Adultery but Incest in the Lord 's Anointed it being the opinion of several Persons who had reason to know more than others did that she was his Sister by the Mothers side as being begotten by the E. of St. A. upon the Queens body after the Death of C. the First These are the very words in the Hist p. 22 and are as false as Scandalous or that a Child begotten of the Queen his resent Majesties Grand-Mother or Mothers Mother after the Death of C the first on the 29th of May 1660 could not be above eleven years of age current and therefore not be ripe for Child bearing Another Story is annex'd p. 23. of the same Coin saying of K.C. the second And having no less Adulterously begotten a Daughter upon the Lady Wood he joyned her in holy Wedlock to one of his Sons whom he had begotten after the same Legitimate manner upon the body of the Dutchess of Cleaveland And this is another suggestion of Satan as impossible to be prov'd true as the first was certainly false And now from a nameless lying Author published by this thorow pack'd Publisher of Lies is come forth another such a pack of Lies under pretence of an Answer to a small piece of Mine with my name thereto Which how candidly I have performed according to the truth of the Case and the genuine sense of God's holy word I humbly refer to the scarcher of all Hearts and the judgment of good Men to be determined But meeting with this pretended Answer utterly void of all solid matter and stich'd up with meer Lies and Railery I can conceive no way so expeditious to clear my Garment of this vile wreches dirt cast upon them then by taking off the Skum and the Dregs from off his stinking puddle that it may appear when is made what an heap of filth and dung he hath piled together and what a small spoonful of clear matter shall appear left behind A Centilogy of downright LIES A Lye consists of three Conditions 1st It must be something that is false 2d The Author must know it to be so and 3d he must utter it with a purpose to deceive There may be therefore falshoods that are not lies as are all things spoken ignorantly and for want of better knowledg a Man thinking he speaks true when it is not so yet when a Man does so rashly and spightfully and with a purpose to deceive In many cases such a falsehood may be tantamount unto the worst of lies And because I cannot have any true measure of this nameless Authors knowledge I shall muster up all lies and falsehoods in the same scrol Lye 1. That I have been at a great deal of pains to write an Apology for the modish practice of keeping a Miss Epist Ded. p. 1. It may appear upon search that in my whole tract I have not wrote one syllable of keeping a Miss or of any thing tantamount thereto that I have Apoligised for 2. That in my p. 34. I have generously done it as it were commending it from the pulpit as sacred and holy p. 2. Epist D. It is apparent to be seen that in that page or else where no such thing is to be found 3. That Miss and Concubine are Synonimous Words Epist ded p. 3. This is false for that Concubinage is properly no more but a lying together of two in a bed and lawful Concubinage is either the same with Marriage or if out of or besides the Marriage bed is no farther justified by me then God's word does justify But the Miss being a new word is counted significant of a woman kept meerly for pleasure and wantonness and not as a lawful Concubine for the sake of issue 4. That I have vindicated the liberty of Poligamy p. 3. Epi. de There is not one word of Poligamy vindicated in all my Book but contrarily an exception that I own it not 5. That I make every Man a judge in his own Case by adjudging Martha Perkins to be an unjust Desertrice p. 3. Ep. d. I adjudged her not at all but she by her desertion adjudged both me and her self 6. That I took Mary Tompkins into her bed p. 3. Ep. D. It was not her bed after she had wilfully obstinately forsaken it by desertion 7. That The Concubinages of the Patriarches was a disputed practice not founded upon any positive command p. 3. E. D. This is false holy-writ saying the contrary Exod. 21.10 11 and Hos 3.1 2 3. 8. That God's making use of Children of Concubinage to be instruments of his Glory is no satisfaction to Reason or Conscience without a Revelation p. 4. E. D. This false for that God's acceptance is good proof without Revelation 9. That An holy Seed in Malachy insinuates strongly that Concubinage is unholy p. 4. E. D. This false because the son of Hagar and sons of Keturah by Abraham and the sons of Bilhah and Zibpah by Jacob were all of them of the Seed of Concubinage and yet were holy 10. That there is not the least vestige of Concubinage allowed in the new Testiment p. 5. E. D. This false as appears in our Saviours Case 11. That I have blasphemously reflected upon the conception and birth of our Saviour p. 5. E. D. This false for that he cannot name one word that I have spoken thereof contrary to the holy Text. 12. That I am guilty of prophane Allusions about the same p. 5. E. D. No such to be prov'd 13. That My Notions appear very foul and horrid p. 5. E. D. And yet no such foul or horridness can be made appear 14. That no better advice can be given me than that of the Apostle to Simon Magus Act. 8.22 Repent of this they wickedness c p. 5. E. D. And yet he can name nothing of me like the case of Simon Magus 15. That Had I taken the Apostles advice to Timothy I would never have been guilty of such a practice or advanced such principles p. 5. E. D. And yet no practice nor principles can be charged against me contrary to that advice of the Apostle 16. That Concubinage had its rise from Cain's Family p. 6. E. D. This false Poligamy had so but not lawful Concubinage 17. That My Wife says she deserted me because I had got my Maid with Child aforehand p. 6. E. D. This is a Lye for that the Woman had deserted above one year before any such charge And she named not the time of her desertion 18. That I make no scruple of breaking my marriage Vows to God and my Wife p. 8 9. e. d. This false
