MDCLXXXVIII To the Reverend Mr. Pulton Jesuite and Schoolmaster in the Savoy Reverend Sir THough the Author of the Answer to Dr. Pierce's Sermon had the hardiness to affirm that it is evident more Rebellions have been rais'd against Princes for Religion onely in this last Reformed Age in a few Protestant Countries than have been rais'd by Catholicks for any cause whatsoever in seven Ages before throughout all Christendom wherein he is seconded by another who with the same modesty tells the world that in this last Century there have been more Princes depos'd and murder'd for their Religion by Protestants than have been in all the other since Christ's time by the attempts and means of Roman Catholicks Yet these Gentlemen were so politick as to avoid the infamy which a Confutation would subject them to by concealing themselves from the world But what either a Sense of their inability or a consciousness of their immodesty hinder'd them from prosecuting you have very freely engag'd your self to perform by renewing their Assertion and advising your learned Adversary not to meddle with the Subject of the Disloyalty of your Party lest you return the Charge upon the Reformed Churches But Sir we are not to be frighted with blustring words nor will your informing us that you have many Remarks in store to shew that whatever Catholicks have judg'd in the Theory about the deposing Power it was the Reformers who reduc'd it to practice and that you will produce them if farther provoked terrifie us any more than your several Volumes of Collections out of the Fathers which you boast of we know Sir your Assertion is untrue and therefore are not afraid to bring it to the Test. I DO THEREFORE HERE CHALLENGE YOU AS YOU WOULD NOT APPEAR A SLANDERER AND GUILTY OF VENTING A MOST PERNICIOUS AND NOTORIOUS FALSHOOD AS YOU VALUE THE HONOUR OF YOUR CHURCH AND YOUR OWN REPUTATION TO PUBLISH THOSE REMARKS YOU SAY YOU HAVE MADE AND VINDICATE YOUR SELF OR ELSE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE PRINTED AND PUBLISHED AN ASSERTION WITHOUT REGARD EITHER TO TRUTH OR MODESTY I must confess in any other case I should be apt to censure my self for the freedom of this Address but it is certainly a time to speak when a man pretending to be a Priest of the living and true God shall in defence of his Religion which if true needs no such abominable Arts to uphold it vent so bold a Slander tending to expose the pure Churches of Christ as Enemies to their Sovereigns and so render them odious to those from whom they have all imaginable Reason to expect Protection as from nursing Fathers I will not tye you up to your own Assertion that the Reformers have deposed and endeavoured to depose more Princes in the space of one hundred and fifty years than the Roman Catholicks had done in sixteen hundred for you will be more puzzled to find a Papist in the first Centuries of that period than you were to tell under what Pope the fourth Council of Lateran was assembled Nor do I desire the enquiry should be confin'd to the term of the last seven hundred years on the Romish side which the above-cited Author pitch't upon but will freely remit you above five hundred of that and in the time since the Reformation do engage my self to prove what I have asserted p. 76. of this Treatise I do not much expect an Answer to this Challenge for those men who could lye near twenty years under such a Charge as Dr. Du Moulin laid against them and dar'd them to call him to an account for the Murder of K. Charles the First without ever venturing to clear themselves may easily bear this Besides your Champions have of late left their Doctrines to defend themselves However I once again renew the Challenge which if you accept it will soon be seen that you are not alone guilty of such insincere and immodest dealing since the Vindicator of Mr. de Meaux hath told the world that not only the protestations but the practices of the Romanists have justified them in the point of Obedience to Princes A little time will shew who is in the right for having your Remarks ready I suppose we need not expect long if you have any design to justifie your self and think you are able but if not do but own your rashness and error which in duty you are bound to do that the Church of God may have some reparation for so bold a Calumny and notwithstanding this freedom you shall find me on all occasions Reverend Sir Your
