a_o letter_n from_o a_o gentleman_n in_o the_o country_n to_o his_o correspondent_n in_o the_o city_n concern_v the_o coronation_n medal_n distribute_v april_n 11._o 1689._o sir_n you_o have_v oblige_v i_o very_o much_o by_o the_o account_n you_o give_v i_o of_o the_o coronation_n but_o i_o have_v have_v some_o remark_n from_o another_o hand_n concern_v the_o truth_n of_o which_o i_o suspend_v my_o judgement_n till_o you_o inform_v i_o better_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o relation_n in_o the_o very_a word_n as_o i_o receive_v it_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n which_o much_o afflict_a all_o true_a englishman_n because_o it_o be_v believe_v it_o never_o happen_v since_o william_n the_o conqueror_n time_n which_o be_v that_o a_o king_n and_o queen_n of_o england_n shall_v make_v their_o procession_n at_o the_o coronation_n through_o a_o treble_a rank_n of_o arm_a horse_n and_o foot_n all_o foreigner_n it_o grieve_v we_o all_o to_o see_v that_o for_o want_v of_o some_o interpreter_n betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o multitude_n which_o usual_o press_v upon_o such_o occasion_n a_o infinite_a of_o the_o poor_a english_a even_o well_o wisher_n to_o the_o new_a king_n and_o queen_n be_v not_o only_o rude_o treat_v with_o stern_a countenance_n and_o dutch_a curse_n but_o continual_o push_v back_o with_o the_o eut-end_n of_o the_o soldier_n musket_n or_o the_o serjean_v halberd_n and_o sometime_o receive_v break_v head_n or_o as_o dangerous_a bruise_n if_o they_o do_v but_o endeavour_v to_o get_v near_o i_o see_v myself_o many_o person_n knock_v and_o push_v upon_o the_o breast_n with_o the_o trooper_n pistol_n and_o prick_v with_o their_o sword_n for_o endeavour_v to_o couch_v under_o the_o horse_n head_n and_o when_o any_o one_o offer_v to_o get_v near_o through_o the_o rank_n of_o horseman_n where_o they_o find_v protection_n at_o former_a coronation_n by_o their_o own_o countryman_n these_o rude_a stranger_n be_v sure_a to_o check_v their_o horse_n and_o make_v they_o curvete_fw-la or_o turn_v round_o which_o can_v not_o be_v without_o the_o hazard_n of_o break_v their_o leg_n or_o bruise_v those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o way_n i_o need_v not_o mention_v the_o toss_v and_o push_v man_n and_o woman_n from_o place_n to_o place_n and_o drage_v they_o through_o the_o kennel_n more_o like_a slave_n nay_o dog_n than_o christian_n which_o make_v many_o spectator_n sigh_v and_o pity_v the_o condition_n of_o several_a hundred_o who_o they_o see_v so_o use_v whilst_o other_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o say_v what_o most_o i_o believe_v think_v that_o this_o be_v but_o the_o beginning_n and_o a_o light_a matter_n in_o comparison_n of_o what_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n who_o be_v not_o now_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v confide_v in_o must_v suffer_v under_o these_o new_a lord-dane_n before_o the_o king_n can_v be_v so_o settle_v in_o his_o throne_n that_o he_o may_v safe_o dismiss_v his_o foreign_a force_n nay_o some_o they_o say_v have_v their_o skull_n break_v and_o die_v in_o the_o crowd_n though_o this_o be_v endeavour_v to_o be_v stifle_v neither_o do_v you_o mention_v the_o unlucky_a qualm_n my_o correspondent_n tell_v i_o the_o king_n have_v nor_o the_o duke_n of_o norfolk_n fall_n from_o his_o horse_n when_o he_o usher_v in_o the_o champion_n which_o be_v something_o ominous_a the_o gold_n medal_n you_o send_v i_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o which_o you_o desire_v i_o to_o explain_v give_v i_o and_o some_o friend_n of_o my_o no_o small_a diversion_n and_o to_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o i_o think_v the_o contriver_n of_o it_o have_v do_v their_o majesty_n little_a service_n i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o custom_n of_o stamp_v medal_n upon_o who_o reverse_n the_o inauguration_n victory_n or_o great_a acheivement_n of_o prince_n or_o general_n be_v represent_v either_o express_o or_o by_o some_o emblem_n be_v as_o old_a as_o the_o first_o coinage_n of_o money_n by_o the_o grecian_n and_o roman_n nor_o that_o in_o the_o last_o century_n and_o this_o they_o have_v be_v improve_v and_o many_o ingenious_a device_n invent_v suitable_a to_o the_o noble_a

insomuch_o that_o we_o find_v even_o john_n of_o leyden_n after_o he_o have_v get_v entire_a possession_n of_o munster_n and_o fill_v it_o with_o his_o crew_n of_o anabaptist_n notwithstanding_o his_o pretend_a sanctity_n and_o mortification_n coin_v several_a medal_n which_o be_v indeed_o very_o ominous_a to_o he_o for_o this_o mushrum_fw-la king_n spring_v from_o holland_n continue_v not_o

instance_n of_o auspicious_a and_o inaugural_a medal_n but_o that_o i_o intend_v this_o only_a as_o a_o letter_n therefore_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o present_a medal_n which_o of_o what_o nature_n it_o will_v be_v time_n alone_o must_v show_v yet_o i_o foresee_v it_o will_v give_v great_a occasion_n to_o the_o maligner_n of_o our_o new_a crown_a king_n and_o queen_n to_o pass_v their_o malicious_a censure_n on_o it_o one_o of_o my_o friend_n view_v the_o two_o face_n of_o the_o king_n and_o queen_n say_v that_o such_o conjunction_n in_o medal_n have_v oftentimes_o prove_v unfortunate_a for_o he_o have_v not_o long_o since_o by_o he_o the_o medal_n make_v for_o the_o two_o dewitt_n which_o much_o resemble_v this_o if_o the_o head_n attire_n have_v not_o be_v different_a who_o inhuman_a buchery_n by_o the_o mobilee_n of_o amsterdam_n give_v the_o very_a first_o rise_v to_o the_o then_o bloom_a prince_n of_o orange_n greatness_n and_o all_o the_o world_n say_v he_o know_v that_o king_n philip_n and_o queen_n mary_n of_o england_n and_o king_n henry_n and_o queen_n mary_n of_o scotland_n who_o face_n and_o name_n be_v join_v in_o their_o coin_n and_o medal_n be_v not_o very_o fortunate_a but_o i_o tell_v he_o since_o the_o parliament_n have_v join_v they_o in_o the_o sovereignty_n they_o can_v not_o be_v disjoined_n in_o their_o coin_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o fortune_n will_v be_v alike_o good_a or_o bad_a when_o i_o receive_v the_o reverse_n i_o be_v heat_v into_o a_o indignation_n that_o any_o person_n shall_v be_v so_o indiscreet_a as_o to_o choose_v a_o emblem_n upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n so_o subject_a to_o misinterpretation_n as_o this_o will_v be_v for_o as_o julius_n caesar_n say_v to_o his_o wife_n calphurnia_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o she_o shall_v be_v innocent_a but_o that_o she_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o cautious_a in_o all_o her_o action_n that_o she_o shall_v be_v free_a even_o from_o suspicion_n so_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v with_o emblem_n and_o medal_n they_o ought_v to_o signify_v and_o express_v so_o clear_o the_o worth_a and_o greatness_n of_o those_o prince_n action_n which_o they_o represent_v that_o no_o sinister_a interpretation_n may_v be_v make_v of_o they_o and_o this_o indignation_n be_v increase_v by_o the_o reflection_n which_o a_o gentleman_n make_v who_o first_o look_v upon_o the_o reverse_n with_o i_o this_o gentleman_n see_v a_o chariot_n but_o not_o understand_v the_o latin_a inscription_n and_o have_v hear_v the_o town_n talk_v of_o tullia_n who_o instigate_v her_o husband_n tarqvinius_n to_o kill_v her_o father_n servius_n tullius_n king_n of_o the_o roman_n that_o he_o may_v succeed_v he_o in_o the_o throne_n and_o as_o livy_n say_v cause_v her_o chariot_n to_o be_v drive_v over_o his_o mangle_a body_n cry_v out_o be_v this_o tullia_n be_v chariot_n this_o i_o say_v shock_a i_o and_o raise_v my_o anger_n against_o the_o contriver_n who_o have_v choose_v so_o ill_a a_o emblem_n which_o upon_o so_o superficial_a a_o view_n bring_v such_o a_o odious_a history_n into_o man_n mind_n another_o by-stander_n see_v the_o figure_n represent_v phaeton_n who_o the_o poet_n feign_v to_o have_v obtain_v leave_n of_o his_o father_n phoebus_n to_o guide_v his_o chariot_n for_o one_o day_n and_o who_o by_o his_o want_n of_o skill_n to_o govern_v the_o fiery_a horse_n have_v like_a to_o have_v set_v the_o world_n on_o fire_n have_v not_o jupiter_n strike_v he_o dead_a with_o a_o thunderbolt_n exclaim_v against_o the_o emblem_n as_o full_a of_o ill_a omen_n and_o say_v that_o the_o people_n know_v that_o this_o king_n and_o queen_n have_v not_o by_o permission_n but_o by_o violence_n ascend_v their_o father_n throne_n will_v look_v upon_o this_o as_o his_o chariot_n which_o they_o drive_v and_o interpret_v jupiter_n thunderbolt_n as_o a_o sign_n of_o some_o judgement_n of_o god_n impend_v over_o our_o gracious_a prince_n for_o this_o which_o he_o call_v a_o unnatural_a usurpation_n this_o make_v my_o cheek_n and_o ear_n to_o burn_v and_o i_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v both_o extreme_o wide_a of_o the_o inventors_n meaning_n for_o by_o phaeton_n he_o mean_v king_n james_n who_o by_o misgovernment_n have_v endanger_v the_o destruction_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o that_o god_n have_v compassion_n on_o his_o church_n and_o people_n have_v strike_v he_o from_o his_o regal_a seat._n but_o another_o gentleman_n than_o present_v say_v that_o although_o he_o very_o believe_v that_o be_v the_o contriver_n meaning_n yet_o there_o be_v so_o many_o exception_n to_o the_o congruity_n of_o that_o fable_n with_o the_o cicumstance_n of_o king_n james_n reign_n that_o he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v offer_v the_o war_n of_o the_o giant_n against_o jupiter_n as_o this_o to_o represent_v the_o inaugural_a glory_n of_o our_o king_n and_o queen_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v the_o only_a subject_a to_o be_v consider_v he_o say_v that_o phaeton_n can_v never_o represent_v king_n james_n since_o the_o throne_n or_o chariot_n belong_v sole_o to_o he_o as_o hereditary_a lawful_a king_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o have_v ask_v any_o one_o leave_n to_o guide_n it_o but_o that_o all_o man_n know_v a_o usurper_n be_v the_o moral_a of_o phaeton_n in_o the_o fable_n and_o a_o usurper_n in_o his_o father_n reign_n moreover_o say_v he_o if_o king_n james_n must_v be_v phaeton_n than_o king_n william_n must_v be_v jupiter_n that_o strike_v he_o out_o of_o his_o chariot_n or_o phoebus_n that_o re-assumed_n it_o after_o he_o have_v be_v thunderstruck_a and_o how_o disagreeable_a this_o be_v to_o the_o whole_a scope_n of_o the_o fable_n be_v obvious_a to_o every_o schoolboy_n that_o read_v ovid_n metamorphosis_n nay_o he_o further_o affirm_v that_o this_o emblem_n seem_v to_o presage_v king_n james_n return_v to_o his_o throne_n again_o and_o if_o so_o it_o will_v be_v congruous_a in_o almost_o all_o its_o curcumstance_n i_o must_v confess_v sir_n i_o can_v not_o hearty_o contradict_v this_o gentleman_n but_o wish_v the_o author_n have_v either_o consult_v book_n or_o man_n for_o a_o more_o significant_a and_o unexceptionable_a emblem_n but_o since_o he_o have_v be_v so_o unfortunate_a if_o not_o malicious_a if_o you_o know_v the_o person_n advise_v he_o to_o get_v himself_o include_v in_o the_o act_n of_o indemnity_n it_o be_v a_o crime_n equal_a to_o the_o counterfeit_v the_o king_n coin_n to_o contrive_v a_o coronation_n emblem_n that_o give_v such_o occasion_n of_o
