Phillips, John, 1631-1706.	1680 (1680)	Wing P2083; ESTC R21048	60,667	56

Penances whether these lame and miserable shifts be excuses sufficient to vindicate the Conspirators from the intended Assassination of a Monarch One would think that Mistris Cellier had been Midwife to the Vindicators Invention his Vindication is so like the Fables in her Malice defeated He denies That there were any Letters from White and others of the fifth of April that Morgan and Lovel were return'd from Ireland who said 40000 Irish Horse and Foot were ready to rise at ten days warning He denies also That the Provincial summon'd a General Consult to be held at London and that the Deponent was summon'd to assist at it as a Messenger from Father to Father Now what 's his proof that all this was not so Why because he says there is not one word of truth in all the Article except the calling of the Congregation And then for the 40000 men they were never any where but in the Deponents Addlehead and Lying Narrative Here 's a Vindicator for ye now tell me where ever was such another in the world One that carries Gunpowder in his mouth sets fire to his tongue and with one puff of a denial blows ye an accusation be it as ponderous as all Stonehenge into a perfect annihilation Caitiffs of Newgate be of good comfort from henceforth defie Justice and the Gallows bid the men of St. Pulchers melt down their useless humming Passing-Bell and put the money in their Pockets For now let your crimes be what they will never so plainly prov'd by Oaths and Testimony 't is but saying the Deponents are Addle-heads and their Testimonies Lying Narratives and you shall be forthwith set at liberty without fees This wonder-working Operator lives at the Seminary of English Jesuits in St. Omers He instructs the rich at moderate rates the poor for nothing he is to be spoken with from eight in the morning till twelve at noon and from two in the afternoon till six at night Vivat Diabolus CHAP. V. Of the Congregation THE Business of the Congregation takes up a whole Chapter 't was an ugly Business my Lord and begat a world of hanging-evidence and therefore must be deny'd stoutly But before he begins he premises That the truth of the particular concerning the Congregation shall be attested by all that were there who are still alive No they are not there are some of 'em hang'd But what need of this advertisement we question not the readiness of them that are living and of hundreds more in the place of them that are wanting to swear all that and ten times more upon such an unavoidable occasion as this There is nothing safe either in this or the two other worlds from the denials of the Jesuits They deny there is a God by their actions and Doctrine and should ye affirm there is a Devil because he is the father of Lyes they would deny that easily as being the fathers of Lyes themselves Upon Earth you see what the Vindicator has deny'd already and you shall see what he still denies He denies that upon the 24 th of April 1678 stil nov Warren Sir Tho. Preston Marsh Williams Sir Iohn Warner Sir Robert Brett Pool Nevil in all with the Deponent about nine went from St. Omers towards London For 1. The Rector of Liege was not of the number 2. Sir Tho. Preston never stir'd all the while from Liege 3. Sir Iohn Warren remain'd at Watten 4. Sir Robert Brett Pool Nevil and the Deponent remain'd at St. Omers And to prove this he bids you see Attestations I H F D and E. 'T is very well briskly done well go on He denies That these met in a consult in London with Fenwick Blondel and Gray and others to the number of fifty Iesuits at the White-horse Tavern in the Strand For why neither Fenwick Blundel nor Gray were there 2. There were only fifty 3. They never met at the White-horse-Tavern as they are ready to swear and protested to the Vindicator they did not know of any such Tavern in the Strand till the Deponent inform'd them of it It may be not because he was to give them notice of the Place He should have done well to have told us where they did meet and then the truth might have been easily found out The Deponent swears he was at the Consult held in May to attend the Consulters and deliver'd their concerns from company to company To this the Vindicator says nothing but what was said by the Jesuits at their Trials where their Defences made 'em ridiculous He denies That after they left the White-horse Tavern they divided into several Companies as being against the nature of a Congregation You still forget Mr. Vindicator that this was no Congregation according to the Statutes of the Society but such a Consultation as Catiline held at Rome for the subversion of his Country And it is the nature of such Consults to be kept on foot by private Committees for the better carrying on the design Lastly whereas the Deponent swears That within 3 or 4 days after he return'd to St. Omers with the Fathers that came from the other side of the Water He absolutely denies there was any such thing And these are the Lyes which he pretends to be sworn to in the Narrative in reference to the Consult at the White-horse-Tavern And now Mr. Vindicator give me leave to tell ye you may be Canoniz'd for a Fool but never for a Saint for you have spoil'd your Cause in this very Chapter I expected that here you should have shewn all your Wit and Rhetorick the cream of your Eloquence that you should have strewed the whole Chapter with your Flowers your Metaphors and your Sorites that you would have gor'd us with your forked Dilemma's that you would have displayed all your Hocus Pocus tricks all your doublings and shiftings that you would have shewed us your Wards and Traverses and all your Fencing dexterity but never was Tiptoe-expectation so deceiv'd here is not so much as one gentile piece of Sophistry nay he must be a good Chymist that can extract so much as one poor dram of common sense out of all his elaborate undertaking but you lye and 't is false terms of Art which I find in no sort of Logick but that of St. Omers He that pretends to such good Intelligence could not choose but know how these very objections had been canvassed how the defences of his Martyrs were exploded how the testimonies of his St. Omers striplings sent of Fools errands to swear in verba Magistri were baffl'd and therefore in his topping Vindication to raise nothing new but to say less then they then said for themselves less then what had already been promulgated by others was but only a lazy Epitome of the Compendium and shewed the Vindicators Brains were dryer then Bricks for they will yield a useful Oyl his Brains will afford nothing but a putrid matter which might have been as well blown out of his Nose as
