true notwithstanding Mrs. Simmonds Ignorance of it for we all know all Men do not think fit in Undertakings of such danger and difficulties as this was of Printing and Correcting a Book of this nature to make their Wives acquainted with every thing they do in order to save themselves but what is this to Mr. Clifford's Evidence As to Mr. Odert's Transcribing of it and they printing it by his Copy and no other which as Mr. Milbourn the Printer has since assured me came all at once to them which wholly spoyls that Assertion of Dr. Walker's of bringing some of the last sheets to the Press by Dr. Gauden's Order Further What is this to Dr. Jerem. Tayler's getting leave by Letter of the King to change the Title from the Royal Plea with which they printed the first sheet into 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For the Reasons Mr. Clifford in this Narrative asserts which wholly routs Dr. Gauden's Excuse to Dr. Walker when he thought he could not with a good Conscience write such a Book in the KING's Name and he Answered Look upon the Title who draws his own Picture These Accounts of Mr. Clifford ought to have been disproved by this Answerer or else the Evidence is as clear as the Sun at Noon and so I do not doubt will continue notwithstanding all this foolish barking at it but it is common when Men want Reason they fall to little and contemptible Cavils as our Author has here done Another thing I name for the weaking Dr. Walker's Assertion that Dr. Gauden was the Author of that Excellent Book of the King 's is what passed betwixt Dr. Meriton and Dr. Walker at the late Lord Mayors Sir Tho. Pilkington's I say Dr. Meriton told me that he put Dr. Walker to silence with the Story of Mr. Simmonds lending Dr. Gauden the Book and Dr. Gauden's transcribing it and so returning it to Mr. Simmonds again and that Mr. Marryot stood by heard the debate and did justifie Dr. Meriton's Conquest of Dr. Walker And what says my Adversary to this Why here he claps his Wings and Crows and says I have committed two Mistakes that the Discourse was not at dinner but after dinner and that Dr. Meriton began the discourse with Dr. Walker and not Dr. Walker with Dr. Meriton and by these two things he vainly fancies he has invalidated the whole Testimony Now suppose I did mistake as to these two petty Circumstances which I am pretty well assur'd I did not for Dr. Meriton told the story as occasioned by meeting together at my Lord Mayors dinner and did not as far as I can remember descend to such Minute particulars Pray good Reader What is this to the story it self namely The affirming he did so silence Dr. Walker that he had not a Word to say for himself Which is so true and will be upon just occasion attested by others as well as my self that I do here in the face of the World challenge Dr. Meriton or Mr. Marryot to deny one syllable of the substance of it either as to the one his telling his success in the dispute and the other justifying of it as really true The next thing I produce against Dr. Walker is Mr. Long 's Evidence and his attesting in two Letters to Dr. Goodall that Dr. Gauden did affirm to him that he was fully convinced that the Book was entirely the King 's own Work and what says my Answerer to this stabbing Evidence For for truly it is and I am sure gives the Faction a great deal of Vexation and foaming Rage why truly the Reply to this is very diverting Mr. Long writ the Vox Cleri and Mr. Long is against Free Prayer and Comprehension c. and what then is Mr. Long not to be believ'd because of his Opinion as to these things Has Mr. Long by any art of Immorality Sedition or Rebellion wholly forfeited his Credit or Reputation so that his Word is not to be taken No Reader upon a just Enquiry I find him to be a grave learned serious and pious Divine in that esteem amongst his Brethren that I will venture again to say That it is no disparagement to Dr. walker's Memory to assert that his Testimony is to be heeded and believed before Dr. Walker's and I am not willing to be provoked because the one of them is dead to give my Reasons for it There are two things more I give the World an Account of in my Defence of this Great Mans being the Author of that Book which were too hot for my Adversaries fingers and therefore he durst not touch them The one is Major Huntington's Story told from his own mouth by a Non-conformist-Minister to my self Namely That some of those Papers that were part of that Book were taken at Nazeby kept by General Fairfax and obtained from him by the Major and afterwards by him presented to the King and here I challenge him or any Man to deny the Truth of this Story and that because that Non-conformist-Minister is of such esteem and credit in London that I am sure they will blush to deny what he asserts if I should name him which I am ready to do when called by Authority The other Story is about Dr. Dillingham's asserting That he saw and read part of this Book of the King 's and that long before Dr. Gauden pretended to send it to the King Now know Reader that this Account was given me by a Reverend and Learned Minister in London as well as he could remember it and therefore that we might have a more full and satisfactory Relation of it I got him to write to Dr. Dillingham's Son a Minister and to desire him to let us know what Communications his Father had made to him about this Matter who civilly returned this ensuing Answer which I am sure will not be unpleasing to all those who are Friends to Truth and Justice I Have heard of that Controversie you mention and have now in my hands Dr. Hollingworth's Book wherein there is something said concerning my Fathers bearing Witness to the Truth of King Charles being the Author of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 though there might be something added to that Relation as to the time and place when and where he was a Eye-witness of it An Account whereof as near as I can remember from what I have had from his own mouth is as follows While the King was at Holmeby my Father went from Cambridge to wait upon this Earl of Montague's Father who was then with the King there while the King was at Dinner one of the Bed-Chamber shewed my Father the King's Closet wherein was his Library and Papers while he was there he that came with him was accidentally called away when my Father seeing a Black Box on the Table that was lock'd but not very close spyed a corner of a Paper hanging out and took the boldness to draw it so far out as that he could read several Sentences it was newly written
