^^^HAVE with great Pleafure bb- ^ I ^3 ferv'd the good Difpofition of the

The Abhorrence every honed thinking Mast mufl: have of an Invafion, fupported by French and Irijh Cut-throats, by fugitive Criminals , ^nd beggarly defperate Tories , will doubtlefs

B increaff

[ ^ 3

increafe in the Minds of all good Subje(9:Sj and have fo good an Effed:, as to make them judge with more Deliberation for the Future, and not be impos'd upon by the fpecious Pre- tences of thofe who call themfelves the only True Sons of the Church, but are indeed the Sons of Sedition and Rebellion , and would fave themfelves from the Punifliment they have fo juftly deferv'd, by the Ruin of their Country and Religioti.

Is there a Man of Common Senfe in the Kingdom, who can flatter himfelf, That the Pretender would have it in his Power, if it was in his Will,to Support the Church oi Eng- land. When his pretended Father was fent by Lewis the XlVth to Ireland ^ had he not the Count d' Avaux to attend him, on Pur- pofe to prevent his doing any Thing in Fa- vour of the Proteftants of that Kingdom ? Not that King James had 'the leafl Inclination of himfelf to be favourable to Them : But while there was a Party in England^ who under the Denomination of Church - of - Enghnd- Men^ promoted on all Occafions his, and the Popifli Intereft ; fome of his Counfellors, as the Lord Powisy the Lord Dover, &c. ad vis 'd him, tho' they were Papifts , to be more Gracious to the Proteftants : But the French Minifter would allow of nothing but Plundering, Mur- dering ; nothing but Fire and Sword, Rapes and Racks, would fatisfy the French Counfellors he brought from France with him. Nay, 'tis ob-

fervablc

[3]

fervaWe, That the French King obhged him to take the very Officers with him, whom he himfelf had made ufe of on the hke Employ- ment, Monfieur Mamau^ and Monficur Rofen^ who were the very Men that were fent to Languedoc to Dragoon the 'French Proteftants, to Plunder and Spoil their Houfes, Ravifli theii^ Wives and Daughters, Torture themfelves, their Fathers and Sons ; and commit Cruelties which are not to be parallel'd in all the Hifto- ries of the Bloody Pagan Perfecutions.

I know it will be objecfled, That we aflert without Proof; Thus the Jacohites in England^ while King James was deftroying the Prote- ftants in Ireland ^ afTerted , That the latter liv'd in the full Enjoyment of their Liberties and Properties; and that all the Reports of their being Robb'd and Murder'd were ground- lefs and malicious. They will now doubtlefs treat our juft Apprehenfions of the like Ufage from his pretended Son, as Vifionary and Chimerical. They will tell us of the Fair Things he Promifes in his Declarations, and efpecially of his good Will to the Clergy, whom he is to dGchre Independant oftheStatey as Le/ley writes in one of his treafonable Let- ters. They will not look back to the barba- rous and arbitrary Condud: of James the lid ; to his Breach of Laws and Faith : They will infift upon our trufting to the Word of his pretended Son ; and putting our Selves, our Religion and Eftates, entirely into his Hands,

and let him do with Us, as he, aod his French and Irijh Counfellors fliall think fit. What then can we expec5t from a Perfon, who from an Infant has been intruded to look upon us as a Rebelhous Heretical Nation, devoted to Deflrudion, as fpon as the Papifts could effeij: it ? What can we expedl from one who has been told that the Crown of thefe Kingdoms is his Birth*right,and that he has been unjuftly kept out of it by his Slaves ; that he has been forc'd to live on the Charity of the, French King, when the Revenues of Great-Britain and Ireland zt^ his Due ; to which, they fay^ lie has as good a Title as either of us has to his Houfe or Land ? Will he be more careful of our Church, and our Properties, than King James was?

Will hc' who never knew what it was to live in a Country where Liberty was hear^ of, or vidiere it was treated otherwife than as Rebellion and Fadtion, be more tender of our Conftitution than our abdicated King; who after having taken fo many Oaths to maintain it, gave it up, not only to his own Will, but the Will of his Benefactor, the French King? King fames h^iA 2l Potent Adverfary in King William , and a Powerful People to drug- gie with , after he had invaded Ireland. It was therefore good Policy in him to tem- porize at leaft with the Proteftants; yet fuch was his, and his Protedor's the French King's Inveteracy to them, that contrary to good

Policy^

[5]

Policy, he fufFer'd his Jrilh and French Soldi- ers to ufe thern worfe than ever the Dragoons of France treated the Hugonots. What muft we look for then from the Pretender to the Throne he Abdicated, when by an /r/y^, French^ and tory Power he has pofleft himfeif of the Sovereignty ; when he has no Dutch or Ger- nian League to fear; when we have no Dehve- rer to have Recourfe to ; when the French King, being ftrengthned by the Alliance of a Popifli Prince in Britain^ fliall give Law^s not pnly to him, but to all Europe ; u'hat will our Revolution be termed, and all the Ads fubfe- quent to it ? Every Man that has paid a Penny to fupport tjie War againfl France and King James, will be deem'd Guilty of High Trea- ^ fon. In a word, every Proteftant that has a | iPenny to lofe, will be a Traytor and Rebel, and he that has not, lie at the Mercy of French and Jl'ri/h Murderers. It cannot be otherwife ; and yec how are the (lupid and blind Populace hurry d on by Fadion to contribute to the Ruin of that Floly Church for which they affed fo much Zeal > Can any one believe th^t the French King will fufFer the Impoftor to be lefs dependant on hitn than Kmg James was > That after he has Subfifted him Seven and Twenty Years, and been at Twenty or Thirty Millions Charge about his pretended Father, Mother, Himfeif and their Followers, that he will let him be any thing better than his Viceroy, or ever leave him fo niuch Au- thority

[6]

thority as one of !his Lieu tenant-Generals of a Province oi France > And what mull: they think will be the Confequence of our being fubjed:- ed to the Tyranny of Lewis XIV? Will he forgive our reducing him to a Condition vi^hen he fcarce thought himfeJf fafe at Ferfailles \ the many hundred Millions he has expended, and the many Difgraces that his Arms wer0 attended with ? Will he pardon us for rob- bing him of the Glorious Title of Ever ViElo^ rious > Will he fpare us, that fpares not his own Natural Subjeds? Will he content himfelf with our Eftates and Liberties? Shall our Re- ligion and Lives be left us, and fhall Beggery and Slavery attone for Herefy > Will he not extirpate us as an Heretical, Stubborn, perverfe People, and not fuffer us to be on the fame fad Terms with one of his own miferable Pro- vinces^ Muft not the Pretender owe all to him ; and what can hinder his recovering the Debt with a word of his Mouth, if ever we Ihould be fo wretched as to come into Subjecti- on to him.

As there is nothing that gives a more lively Idea of things, thanlnftances of the like which have happen'd before, I (hall take from a ve- ry credible Author, a Clergy-man, a Paflage relating to the Hiftory of Ireland^ when King James was there; and from thence may we reafonably conclude, what a Shadow of a Prince the French King intends the Impoftor ihall be.

Before

[7]

Before King James left France^ King Lew{s oblig'd him to covenant with him that the French fliould be put into Pofleflion of Duhlin, and all the Places of Strength in Ireland: Ac- cordingly, on the 3d of May^ 1689, Three Battallions of French enter'd the City of Duh- lin^ and the Count de Lauzun their General fent to Collonel Lutterel the Governor to de- liver the Keys of the City and Caftle ,• Lutte- rel anfwer'd, he would firft acquaint the King, which he did, taking the Lord Mayor and Al- dermen with him ; the Governor and his Po- pifti Attendants told him, They had thitherto venturd their Lives and Fortunes in his Defence ^ and therefore hoped he would fiill entruft them with the Government of Dublin, and not giv,e the French an ahfolute Authority over them. To whom he reply 'd, that he was engagd to his Brother of France, to give the Government of Dublin to the Count de Lauzun, and could not recede from it. Upon which, the French Ge- neral had the Keys of the City delivered to him ; but Lauzun would not let the French Sol- diers mount the Guard till he had alfo the Keys of the Caftle, and the next Day they alfo were brought to him. After this, the French very commonly fwore, they had no King lut King Lewis, and would ohey no Orders hut the Count de Lauzun 5 ,• and they grew fo info- lent to the Irifli as well as Eogliih, that the Pa- pifts themfelves frequently complain d of them to King James, hut could never have any Redrefs,

The

> [ 8 ]

The Reverend Author fays farther, " The French had not been Two Days in Dublin^ *' when they murder'd Two or Three Prote- " ftant Clothiers in a Part of the City call'd " th^Comh^ for that great Crime of proteding " their Wives from being made Prollitutes to " their Luft,- of which inhuman Ad: no notice *^ was ever taken, tho' King James was com. *' plain'd to about it. About the fame time •* fome of therh took a CountreyMaid, who " came to Market with her Father, arid Ra- " vifh'd her in the open Street at Noon-Day. *^ Many fuch barbarous pieces of Villany were «' perpetrated by them,- arid their Leaders i^ moved in Council, that the City fliould.be *' Burnt if they could not keep it ; whereup- *' on the Irijh City Papifts, and thofe of the " Army, apply'd themfelves to King James^ *' reprefenting to him, That the Catholicks *' would be great Sufferers by that as well as " the Proteftants, and .they humbly and ear- " neftly intreated him not to give way to " any fuch Council. It would be endlefs if I fhould go about to produce Examples of the Superiority of the French in Ireland, and the barbarous and bloody Ufe they made of it. What need is there of Proof by FadJ ? The Reafon of the thing is its own Evidence ; and whereever the Pretender prevails, he afts in entire Subordination to his Benefador, and muft be as much a Slave to his Will, as th6 poor deluded Britons muft be to his. Is the

Impoftof

Impoftor worth a Groat of his own; hsis ht a Fifhing Boat, has he a Footman, but what he niuft buy, and fubfift by the Frenc/j King's Alms > And whate vet Artifice the French Court may make ufe of to colour their Adions, with whatever -Evafions they may excufe the A0i- ftance they give him, it is impoffible for him to Arm and Maintain a Company of Foot, or hire a Bilander to Tranfport him to Britain^ without he is aflifted diredly or indirefily by the French. His pretended Father King James was to have delivered up Portfmouthy Flimouth ^ and Hull^ before he went from England^ for the Supplies of Men and Ships Monfieur Bonrepos offer'd him in the Name of the French King his Mafter. Now if Lewu the XlVth cou'd demand Three fuch Towns in England oi King James^ when he was upon his Throne, and had not an Enemy in Arms againft him in the Three Kingdoms, what will he not exadt of his pretended Heir, for the Supply he furniflies him with ? What lefs than the Three Kingdoms will content him ? How could all the Powers of Europe prevent their falling into his Hands > Thefe Confiderations are fo natural,fo obvious, and withal fo terrible and afFeding, that they need no Exaggerati- on. Every Reader will tremble at the Thought; and let this juft Terror fo alarm him, as to animate him to a vigorous Defence of the In- valuable BlefTings we now enjoy, in a Protefiant King and Liherty.

Having fliewn that it will not be left in the Pretender's Power to fecure our Holy Church from the Perfecution of Papifts, and French Idolaters; I might now argue, that it will not be in his Will, th^t he would not do it if he could, that his fair Speeches are more Gri- mace than thofe of his pretended Father to the Privy Council and Parliament, on his Acceffion to the Throne. But fure fuch a Task is need- lefs. It Cannot be imagin'd that a Creature of thtFreiich King's, Taught from his Childhood to look on the Proteftants of the Church of England Z.S in a damnable Herefy ; and to hold that no Faith is to be kept with them, when the Interefls of the Church of Rome are con- cerned : I fay it can't be imagin'd that fuch a Perfon will ever have the leaft Forbearance with fuch an Heretical Generation as he deems the Church of England Proteftants to be; but will follov/ the Example as well as Inftrucftion of his Protestor, in rooting out our Religion, and redoring the Papal Tyranny in this King- dom. When his Fiditious Father was once apply'd to by Colonel Sarsfield to give a Com- miffion to a Kinfman of his, who was a Pro- teftant, for whofe Fidelity the Colonel ofFer'd to be Bound : He repjy'd, He would trufl no Church of England Man, And a little while after, coming from Chapel, he faid to fome Courtiers, who were talking of the Proteftants, that they flunk in his Voftrils. If they were fo OiTenfive to him who had his Breeding among

them,

[ " ]

him, who had been one himfelf, and ow'd his Converfion only to the Arguments of that rare Cafuift Colonel Richard Talbot^ after- wards Earl of TyrconneU as the latter bragg'd when he was his Deputy in Ireland ; What Offence muft they give to the Tnipoftor who has been bred up under a Confejfor ^ Queen Mary of Modena^ the greateft Bigot to Popery in Chrtfiendom ? One may fuppofe how kind he wou'd be to the Church of England^ by the French King's Kindnefs to his own Proteftants. But our Condition mud be worfe ; we cou^d not be baniili'd for Religion, Lewis wou'd be every where Matter ; all Europe oiull follow the Fate o^ England; there wou'd be no Country left to receive us, or our Religion wou'd be left td HO Country. Galley s^ G'thhets^ Whips^ and Wheels^ all that French and Irifh Cruelty and Revenge cou'd invent mull: necelTarily be our Lot. Poverty and Want wou'd be, the leaft of our Plagues; we (hou'd think our felves happy to preferve our Religion at the Price of all other Bleffings, at lead, if there reraain'd Virtueand Confcience among us. But alas! we muft be Poor, we muft be Slaves, we muft be Idola- trous; or be Rack'd, be Slaughtered, and the very Name of Englifhman and Proteftant be loft for ever. 7 hat the Pretender wou'd treat you thus, if you were Subjedl to him, is not to be doubted, from the Spirit and Pradlice of his Proted:or. Can he poflefs himfelf of Three Kingdoms by the help only of his Irifh

and 7(7ry Fugitives i» Suppofe it were poflible, as it is not, that he cou'd reduce us by as fmall a Band of Followers, as the Duke of Moftr mouthy joined by the Giddy Riotous Rabble, which is the beft of his Pretences ; when his Work was done, wou'd not Friendfhip, Gra- titude, Religion, and Intereft, bind him faft to the Frefich King ? Wou'd not our Strength and Riches be quickly made the Inftruments to bring all People, efpecially Proteftants, in- %Q the fame deplorable Circumftances as our felves. About a Year ago there was a Report indpftrioufly fpread in £«g/W,that the Preten- der was turn'd Proteftant ; it was alfo rumour'd Three Years ago, and that vile Wretch Eoper Printed it for News, that LeJIey was gone to Convert him, to hinder our being troubled with Coma-overs. When this Report had pre- vail over fome thoughtlefs credulous Tories, and they began to give Credit to it, left the fapifts of the Three Kingdoms, on whom the WrenchYMg makes his main depeadance, fliou'd be difcouragM by fuch a Rumour, it was pre- fently declared in the Paris Ga^ette^ that it was groundlefs , and that the Impoftor difown'd any fuch Converfion. LeJley goes farther in pne of his Treafonable Papers, and fays, He p refolved not to deceive his good Suhje^s^ ly telling them he has renounced Popery ; on the con^ trary^ he ajfures them he never voilU And that tfory Prieft argues, that 'tis for the Intereft and Security pf the proteftant Religion that

[ ^3 3

he never (hould. For, continues that Irilhman, If he owns himfelf a Proteftant, the Church of England'Mtn would think themfelves fe- cure , and not be on their Guard againft Po- pery, which he might ftill privately Encou- rage, if not openly Countenance, under the Colour of Troteflaniifm ; whereas, if he was a Papift, the lead Step he took in their Favour would be obferv'd with more Jealoufy. Thus argues that Mfh Miffionary. And what if it were obferv'd! What if he ferv'd all the Col- leges in England^ as his pretended Father did that of Magdalen in Oxford-^ and all the Churches as he ferv'd C/'riy/'Church in Dub- liif, and the reft of the Proteftant Churches in Ireland^ What if he took away all the Pri- vileges of the one, and all the Worlhip of the other ? The deluded enflav'd People muft not refift ; and if they did refill , what would Refiftance fignify, when he had the Power of Great' Britain^ fupported by thzt of France^ to maintain him in his Arbitrary and Cruel Government ? What Benefit would it be for the Britons to perceive that he intended to make them Slaves, Beggars, and Idolaters, if they fhould Turn, and become fuch Papifts as the Converts of France : Would that fav? their Liberty and Property > Muft they not be Slaves ftill, be firft ruin'd in this World, and damn'd in the next ? 'Twas a Maxim a- mong King James's Counfellors , That he ihpuld ifnpoverilh his ^ubjeds iirft, in order

to

[ H]

to enflave them afterwards ; I could prove this by a Thoufand Inftances, it is too well known to need any Evidence. I will not infift upon the Tmmenfe Treafure that would be imme- diately fwallow'd at once, I mean the Stocks and Funds of the Exchequer^ which would prefently be as bad as the Fund of the Hotel de Ville in Taris^ the beft Fund in France^ which was lately Seventy Six per Cent, Dif- count , and now is not much better. The Impoftor would have a. Ready Prefident to follow that of his pretended Uncle King Charles the lid. He would (hut up the Ex^ chequer^ and beggar all the money'd Men in the Nation at a Blow ; nor would there be much Occafion for his Minifters to ftretch their Inventions to find out a plaufible Pre- tence, to raife fuch a damnable Outrage on Property 5 they would only fay, All thefe Funds were traiteroufly given to make War upon our Dear Ally , the Mofl Chrtflian King^ and to keep our Self out of our Dominions^ &c. All Lands belonging to the Church, whether in the Hands of Fapifts or Proteftants, would infallibly be redor'd. The Papifts w^re no more fpar'd than the Proteflants in the A^ of Repeal^ paft by King 'James in Ireland:, where- ever any Abby Lands were found, the Church would prefently lay her Holy Paw upon them. And as above half of the Lands in Britain were formerly Church Tenures, above half of the Nobility , Gentry , and Freeholders of

England

C'5]

England would be beggar'd to enrich the Shoals of Britijhy Jrifh^ French^ and all Sorts of other Priefts that would get together from all Parts of Europe^ to ftock this poor Country , and poflefs the Eftates taken from the Religious Houfes in Henry the Vlllth's Time, and fince. This too would be one of the lead of their Sufferings ; the remaining Portion of their Eftates would be held preca- rioufly , and fubjecSed to grievous Taxes by Proclamation, a Practice fet up by King James after his Abdication. Their Perfons, as well as Eftates, would be Ibbjecft to the Will of a Popifli Tyrant, and this now Happy and Flou- rifliing Nation be reduc'd to the utmoft Di- ftrefs and Defolation.

I have in feveral Places of this Difcourfe, made mention of King Jawes's Condud in- Ireland^ becaufe he was there in almoft the fame Circumftances as his pretended Heir would be in England. With this Difference however, that the Latter would have lefs Re- ftraint upon him, and no Body to pleafe but his Friend and Patron the French King ,• where- as King James had a Party in Great- Britain to impofe upon, by Pretenfions of Favour to the Proteftants, and yet under that Reftraint did he deal worfe by them, both with refped: to their Liberties and Properties, than ever the French dealt b)^ his Subjeds. He put Copper on them for Silver, by one Proclama- tion dated the 4th of Fclruary^ i68j. He

feiz'd

J/

[i6]

feiz'd upon their moft Merchantable Commo- dities, by another Proclamation of the fame Date. And the very fame Day pubhfli'd ano- ther to levy a Tax on them of 20000/. a Month. Here are Three Laws of his own making, more Defpotick, and more invading on Property, than any Edid the French King ever Publi(h*d. Inftead of A&s of Parlia- ment, your Money would be forc'd from you by Orders and Commands. Inftead of a Houfe of Commons, you would be taxM by Irijh Commiffioners ; and inftead of Colle- dors, your Taxes would be levy'd by Grana- diers and Dragoons. For whatever our abdi- cated King did after his Abdication, will moft certainly be refind upon by his pretended Heir ; and all his Maxims, all his Meafures be improved, to advance one of the moft grievous and deftrudivc Tyrannies, by which a Free and Chriftian Conftitution was ever fubverted.

I am fatisfy'd I have faid nothing but what every honeft and thinking Man is apprized of already ,• yet I could not avoid to remind him of it at this Jundture, when the Enemies of the Government will be very induftrious to corrupt Mens Judgment, and delude their Faith by falfe Fads, and falfe Arguments: Some of thcHi, fuch as Welton^ Sacheverely Smith, &c. among the Clergy ; as Catltney Mawhood^ Silky &c. among the Laity, will o- penly aflert the Impoftor's Right, and arraign

the

[ '7 ]

the Government, as they did KinglV/JIiam's for Ufurpation. For thefe the fame Laws, and the fame Lodgings are prepar'd, which the Draper Mawhood^ and his Partner Pace, are like to make tryal of. Others will, inftead of attack- ing King G^^/'g^ , entertain you with Panegy- ricks on Queen Anne ; The Peace ; The Ajjiento ; and, The Glorious Advaoiages procured for us by the Late Minifters. Others will wifli, as they tell you, Things may go well ; but only they are afraid that fome '^itxi drive too fait. Thefe Wellvo'ijhcrs are errant L)ar$ ; they wiOi fiis Majefty no better than the profefs'd Friends of the Pretender, and will be ready to declare for him as foon as they think they can do it with Safety. Some will flirug up their Shoulders and fay nothing , that they may have the Benefit of Interpreting that Po- litick Shrug of theirs afterwards, on which Side they pleaf^ ; either for the King, or the Pretender. In a word , every Man that does not heartily and openly declare againft the Invaders, ought to be looked upon and treated as an Enemy to the Conftitution : A Mark ought to be fee upon them, that they may al- ways be diftinguilh'd from its Friends by the Refentment and Difregard of our Governors : They will be ready enough to change their Tone when the Danger is over : They will find a hundred Excufes for their Malignity and Indifference : They will have Proofs to bring you of , an extraordinary Zeal againft the Im-

D pod or

[ i8]

poflor and his Abettors : They will difown their Delinquency, or Neutrality. But let ic not avail them ; let us all have an Eye on fuc|i dangerous or infignificant Britons ; and let e- very true Lover of the Church and Liberty, fignalize his Loyalty lo the King, and his Zeal for our Religion, at this important Jun- cture. Our All is at Stake, if the Pretender comes among us ; and to be lukewarm and wa- ry, when we have no other Chance to preferve it but the Prefervation of the -Government, denotes the mod fatal Stupidity ; and that we are unworthy the Deliverance which Provi- dence fent, us a fecond Time in King Georges Acceffion to the Throne.

If any where 1 have feem'd to be appre- hen Ave of an Invafion from the Pretender, and his Irifh and French Cut-throats^ it is not an Apprehenfion that rifes from Fear of the Succefs of fuch an Attempt , while we have fo great and fo good a King to protedl us, and fo Wife and fo Loyal a Parliament to fupport Him. There is no Inftance in Story that e- ver a Conftitution fo well eftablilh'd was fub- verted. But that (hould be fo far from ren- dring us too fecure, that it fliould animate us all to exert our felves to chaftife the Infolence of thofe Invaders, and their Abettors ,• and to take hold of this Occafion to fupprefs that Fadion for ever, by putting the Laws in Force againft them in Execution, with the Severity that fuch Robbers and Rioters de-

ferve.

Since His Majefly came to the Crown, He has not done one Ad: of Government but what ought to have gain'd the Hearts of all His Subjedls, for whofeGood he did it : His Condudt has been like a true Father of his Country ; and I defy the mod inveterate, the mod interefted Jacolite in England ^ to name me one Inftance in His Reign, where has not appear'd fo much Goodnefs and Clemency, as ought to render Him as much the Delight of the Britons^ as Titus was of the Romans. This I fay out of the Fulnefs of my Soul, and no Motive of Flattery or ExpecStation of Advan- tage.

But thefe arro- gant Threats of his ftiow that the Mobs and Riots, by which we have been alarm'd lately, have really been fo many Attempts in his Fa- vour. The P^ehels that have burnt the Meet- ing-Houfes, made the Church a Pretence on* ly. Does the Church encourage or ailow of fuch Wickednefs > Is Drunkennefs a Token of Zeal, and Curfes a Sign of Devotion? Can one fuppofe that thefeVilIains meant anyThing iTiOre than to make a Tryal of their Strength ; to fee what Numbers they could get to- gether, and what Encouragem.ent they could give the Pretender by it, to put himfelf at iheir Head. We may depend upon it, Religi- on "was no more in their Intention than io their Pradice, and that they were his Forlora Hope, which we ought to have fall'n upon, and cut off in their Rife ; and to have had no niore Mercy for thofe Incendiaries than for fo many Banditti Men, or Rapparees.

The only Objedion that the hotted Tory in Britain can make to King G^^rgf's Govern- ment, is the Change of the Minijlry. Not to infift on the Arguments made ufe of by them- felves, when Queen Anne changed Her Mini- fters ; every one of which is much ftronger in the Cafe of King George ; I will appeal to the Confcience of even fuch a tory^ Whether | he does not verily believe that Oxford^ Bo-}

linghroke^ H — /, &c were His Majefty's!

Enemies > Whether thofe that made the late fcandalous and ruinous Peace, were not Friends to France^ and confcquently to the Pretender ? And whether fuch Men w^ere proper to be trufled by his Prefent Majefty ? Men whom we now fee impeach'd of the mod horrid Treafons againft their Queen and Country, Do they not own the Charge by running from their Tryal > If it be faid that they run from a Majority ; can one think they would run without carrying their Guilt along with them? Who can be fafer than in the Judgment of the Parliament of Great-Britain > What can In- fluence the Voice of fo Auguft an Affembly, but the Neceffity of doing Juftice to an injur'd Nation > Are not the FacSs made Plain in the fleport of the Committee of Secrecy ? Was not the Peace treated of with Mefnager at firft, without any Warrant from the Queen > And • did not our Minifters, and our General, Adi in Concert with the French^ before the Peace wz,s concluded, and while we were bound by

Honour,

Honour, Interefl:, and many folemn Treaties,' to Atl in Concert with our Allies ? Was not this to betray their Countrey, and their Queen, in both Council and Adion > Is not to Betray, Treafon > And ihall another Prince, who was Himlelf Injured and Affronted by them, truft thofe Traytors ? There is not a Tory in Britain, but when he divefts himfelf of Paflion and Pique, when he thinks ferioufly of the Condition we were in before the Peace, and the Condition we are now in ; there is not a Tory in Britain^ however outragious he may be for the Lofs of his Place, or his Penfi- on, but does in himfelf believe that thofe Mi* niflers deferve the Punifliment from which they fly ,• and I do not in this leg the Quejii- ofiy it being a Maxim as old as Politicks, that thofe that Love the Treafon, Hate the Traytor* Yet the difgracing of the Parricide and his Brethren, was made ufe of to Colour the Out- rage of the Rabble, fpirited up by the Jaco- lites; and the Duke of Ormond was huzzaM out of the Kingdom by the very Rabble that pretended to Support him. When a Man by his Weaknefs or Vanity has made his Name Dangerous to the publick Peace ,• it is fafeft for him to run that Countrey where he has been the occafion of fo much Uproar and Mifchief : For to fuppofe he did not Counte- nance and Reward them, is as foolifli as to have done it. There were a thoufand ways for him to have difown'd them, and he took not

one

one of them, but fuffer'd the poor thoughtlefs Wretches to make ufe of his Name in their Riots, without any manner of Reproof. What- ever it is for himfelf, 'tis furely bed for his Country that fuch a Man fliou'd be out of it.

I have been the longer on this Head, the Change of the Minifters, becaufe it is the on- ly one which the Jacohites can take any han- dle of, fince his Majefty's coming to the Crown, to objed: by it to his Government. And how reafonable, how neceffary it was to change them, is obvious to every Man of common Senfe. Since therefore their Difaf- fedion is fo ill-grounded, and fo Ungrateful, may we not affure our felves, that Creatures who are guilty of fo much Folly and Ingrati- tude, are ripe for any further Mifchief, and ready to contribute to enflave us by the French, to revenge their own Impotence to enflave Us Themfelves. What Precautions fliould we then take againft them > Should we not be on our Guard both at Land and Sea? Can w^e be fafer than in an Army rais'd by King and Par- liament for our Defence ? Is there the lead Shadow of Reafon for the vain Objections of thofe that wou'd terrify us with the ill Confe- quence of a Standing Force ? Has not the Par- liament limited the Term of their Pay to a Year, and will they pay them longer than they think them of abfolute Neceffity ? Mc not thefe Forces* to be Commanded by a Ge- neral

C H 1

neral and other Oificers, who have been fight- ing for Liberty thefe Twenty Years and niore; Difgracd and Injur'd by the late Minifters, purely becaufe they would not fall in with their Meafures to Enflave us, by deftroying the Balance of Power , and giving up all to France ? Do thefe Tories, who aff ed: fuch an extraordinary Concern for Liberty, when they rail againft our Army, really believe that the Whigs^ whom they have charg'd from the be- ginning with Commonwealth Principles, intend to deflroy our free Conftitution, and Eftabhlh an Arbitrary Government ? Or can they ima- gine that a Prince whofe Virtue is as much fear'd by his Enemies as his Power, will break in upon thofe Laws which he is come to de- fend, and which he has fo often and fo fo- lemnly declared he will maintain ? Or that a Prince who Govern'd his other Dominions, before his Acceffion to this Crown, where his Government was not confin'd by Statutes^ with fo much Juftice snd Clemency, wou'd change hisCondud in his new Kingdom? What Folly, what Madnefs, has pofleft thefe Men ? They re- notince Truth and Reafon, as well ^s-Moderari- on and Charity^ when they commence Tories ; and fure it will never be our hard Fate to be Ruin'd by fuch Madmen and Fools !

Had not the Pretender prefum'd to threaten to Invade us ; had he not got an Army toge- ther for that purpofe > does, not the General Corruption that appears among the inferior

Clergy,

f ^5]

Clergy, and from them defcends to the meaner part of the People, make it abfolutely necefla- ry to Strengthen the Kings Hands with another Force, if the Civil is deficient. The Rifings of the Rabble are like the Irruptions of the Sea, the Breaches are eafily made up at firft, but they fpread if negledled, and frequently be- come too powerful to be repelfd by common Methods. That the Civil Magiftrates have been Remifs in the Difcharge of their Truils in Lancajhire^ Staffordjhlre^ and other Places, is too notorious to need any Evidence. Where they have adled, they have been infulted, beaten, and wounded. The Rioters have im- pudently own'd, and in fome Corners Pro- claimM the Pretender \ to fpeak of whom, as of their King, is Treafon ; and fliall us fuffer his Majefty's Title to be affronted at the Plea- fure of every drunken Mob > If they grow too ftrong for the Qlvil Arms^ lliall we not make ufe of the Military > Is not His Majefly's Caufe more our own than His ? He can be Great and Happy without us ; and without Him we are Slaves and Beggars for ever. Shall we bear any longer with the foul Mouths of a debauch'd and infolent Populace > Shall we fee our peaceful Neighbours have their Houfes plunder'd and burnt by them, and not lend our Afliftance to prevent it > And how can it be done effe(ftually, but by being on our Guard againft Foreign Force, which thofe Re- bels will always be inviting over till they are

E cruih'd,

[a6]

cruih'd, and the Fad:ion fo fupprefs'd as not to dare to murmur againft the Government that proteds them ? Had there been one Man in the Three Kingdoms a Sufferer by it in his Pro- perty or Liberty, contrary to the known Laws of the Nation ; Had the Prerogative been ftretch'd beyond the Bounds, or had our Church been betray 'd in its Rights and Privi- leges,tho' that would not excufe the Violence of thefe Non-Refifting Rebels, yet it would give fome Pretence to their Fury ; whereas now they have none but the Title of the Impoftor to aflert, which is Treafon ,• and we cannot give too much nor do too much to root out all thofe Tray tors, that have giv'n their Coun- try fo much Difturbance, and been the Occa- fion of a New Expence, the moftNeceflary that this Nation were ever at for the Maintenance of their Liberties and Properties.

How long did the Government forbear with the Offenders ? they wou'd not fee their Crimes, in hopes they wou'd repent of it, and be re- claim'd of themfelves; inftead of which they grew more and more Infolent, and turn'd the Arms they rais'd againft Presbytery^ againft the Conjlitution, When they found the Juftices of Peace, Mayors of Towns, Conftables, and O?. thers, who at firft might by a vigorous Oppo- fition have eafily fupprefs'd and panilh'd them, were lazy and negligent, or rather perfidious In the Difcharge of their Duty; they were embolden'd by Impunity, and inftead of High- Church

[ ^7 3

Church and Ormoni^ chang'd the Word to Stu- art and jf^wa the third ^ a new and infallible Proof of what has been always urg'd by the Whig-Writers ; th2Lt Church is only tht Pretence^ and the Impoflor has always been the Quarrel, Thefe Wretches defy'd the Civil Power ,• they knew Sacheverell had corrupted the Hands it was put into by the late Managers^ and that it wou'd not be eafy to change them before they had made their Campaigns, and given the Pre:- tender an Opportunity to attempt fomething againfl: their Sovereign : They made a Jeft of Conftables and Militia ; nay, they were fo da- ring in London^ as to drive them by whole Companies, like fo many Sheep before them, as they ferv'd a Captain and his Company in Smithfieldy and another at St. D^;;7?^«*s Church in Fleetfireet. Till the Militia is thoroughly re- form'd,and the Command of them given every- where to Men of Fidelity and Courage, it would be an unaccountable Folly in us not to rejoyce at a better Security provided for us by King and Parliament, and to fleep. fafely un- der the Guard of a great Force at Sea and Land fufficient to repel all Foreign Enemies, and to fupport the Execution of Juftice on the Domejlick.

Had the Government in purfuance of Trea- ties, apply *d for AflTiftance to Allies Abroad, be- fore we had arm'd at Home ; what Clamour would have been made againft bringing in Dutchmen and GerwanSy tho' both Germans and Ex Dutch^

[a8]

Putchmen are much better Friends to Great Bri- tain than the Tories are. Their Cry would not have been Wooden Shoes ; they are reconcird to the Poverty and Pain of being fo fhod, but prefently we fliould have heard of Amloynayth& Pepper-Tradey^nd the giving up our Commerce to the Dutch. How careful they were of it, appeared by their Treaties with France and Spain ; but no matter, they can bawl for Trade this day, and againft it the next , as it ferves a prefent Turn. In a word , they are not at all afraid of fuffering by the Force that is rais'd in either their Rights or Liberties, but that it wall hinder others fuffering by their Fadiion and Fury ; and the more they are griev'd at it, the more have we Reafon to be glad. Every Thing that difpleafes the Friends to the Pre^ tender, is furely Matter of Joy to the Friends to the Conftitution, which is inconfiftent with the Impoftor's Claim.

As to the Charge of 6 or 7000 Men, and a Squadron of Men of War, it will not, toge- ther with the Current Expences of the Year, amount to as much as One Year's Publick Charge, after the Queen's Peace j as they call it, i was concluded. And fliall we grutch fo fmall an Expence to preferve our Church, our Liberty, our Eftates, our All, which the late Parliaments and Miniftry exceeded to main- tain the Authority of thofe Minifters which h-ad brought every Thing into Danger from ^ State ot the greateft Security. We fpent above a

Hundred

C ^9 ]

Hundred Millions to reduce the Exorhitant Power of France, in a juft and necefTary War, and the Late Traiterous Minifters by an Infa- mous Peace made that Power more Exorhitant than ever it was before the War. Shall we think much of a . Hundredth Part of that Expencc to deliver us from the Peril they brought us into. We are fure that what is given will be apply'd to thofe Ufes. That it will be manag'd by Men of Integrity and Capacity, and not by a Sot void of Ex- \ perience, Application, and Honefty : We know that it is for our own Sakes that the, Govern- ment is oblig'd to be at an extraordinary Charge ; and that there is no other Way to fe- cure to us our Lands, our Funds, our Goods, and even our Bread. Shall we think much of parting with a Trifle to fecure the Whole > no furely, I truft there is not a True Prote- ftant in Briton^ but would be willing to go through the laft immenfe Charge of a War, rather than be a Slave to France^ and her Pre- tender. GOD be thank'd, there will be no Occafion of fuch an Expence, in Cafe we are zealous and watchful at this Time to baffle the Defigns of our Enemies now, and Jacolitifm will no more be met with, but in the Records of our Courts of Juftice. What aProfpeft of Security and Glory have we behind the little Cloud that now hangs over us, which will in- fallibly fall on oljr Enemies, if we are faithful and refolute in the Righteous Caufe of our

Church

C30] _

Church and Country > There is nothing that ought to difcourage us in the Defence of it : We have a vidorious Fleet and Army , com- manded by Faithful and Fortunate Generals and Admirals, whofe good Fortune was but the juft Reward of their Valour and Condud". We have the Strength, the Riches of our Country, on our »Side. We have the Religi- on, and the Virtue ; but above all, we have that GOD, who has within our Memories wrought Two wonderful Dehverances for us; the Firft from King Jameses Tyranny, and the Second from that of the Late Minifters. What have the Pretettder^ and his Alettors to Sup- port them, but the Purfe and Power of a bea- ten beggar'd King , who difowns his Preten- ces, and dares not afljft him, but in Private, and by Stealth ? Who are his Generals and Counfellors , but Criminals and Fugitives ; who are defperatc enough to chufe rather to die in the Field than on the Scaffold and Gib- bet ; The fad Choice which their Guilt has left them, hs for the Mohs and Riots we have lately feen and heard of ; it is not to be doubted but the Fa^ion made their utmoft Ef- forts to gather as great Numbers together as they could raife, by Drtinkennefs and Muti- ny : And what has all their terrible Infurredli- ons amounted to, 4 or foo loofe Fellows at a Time, enough . to do Mifchief to People unarmed ; but who, at the Sight of a Squa- dron of Dragoons , np more numerous than

HarUys

Lv 1

Ilarlefs Squadron of Peers, would fly to their Holes and Hovels, from the Hands of the Hang- man and Beedle. We may depend upon it, that this Attempt of the Impojlor is the Effed of Defpair in Himfelf and his Followers. They conclude from the firft Year of His Maje- fty's Reign, that through the whole Courfe of it , his Subjeds will have Reafon to thank Heaven for fo good and fo gracious a Sovereign ; that his Virtue will triumph o- ver Fadtion, and his deluded Enemies return with Shame and Remorfe to their Duty : That then there will be nothing left for them but Want , Difgrace , and Mifery, that like Cain they will be mark'd out to be avoided and detefted by all Mankind ; and that they had better die in Battel than in Jayls : For they have nothing before them but all the Curfes that attend Traytors to their King and their Country. Shall we be afraid of fuch Vagabonds , headed by a Creature of the FrenchYi\n^s^ who knows lefs of his Beginning than he feems to do of his End ? I cannot fuppofe that our ill Ufage under the laft Mi- niftry, did in fo fiiort a Time difpirit us in fuch a Manner, as to render us more bafe and daftardly than our Anceftors. Wat Tyler had another guefs Mob at his Heels than the Ira- poftor is like to have, no lefs than 100,000 Men, and all within the City of London ; yet did the Lord-Mayor, and his Followers only difperfe them in an Inftant, when they came

to

to a firm Refolution to oppofe them to the utmoft. Perkin Warleck was another fort of a Pretender than the Chevalier de St. George ; he was aififted by the French King ^ by the Duke of Burgundy ^ then almoft as Great as the French King , by the Scots King, at that Time a formidable Enemy to England^ when fhe had any other. He had alfo another Name to pretend to, that of Plantagenet^ a Royal Race, Famous for Heroes. He had a Mob to affift him, as well as all thefe Princes. He landed , and march'd his Army a Hundred Miles in the Coifntry ,• yet what was his For- tune, the Stocks firft, the Pillory next, and the Gallows at laft. There was no Hundred Thou- fand for his Head. He had liv'd in the Court of France^ and Burgundy , as a King ; had his Guards and Officers, and fome half-witted beggarly Engtifh Lords to follow him. Yet without the lofs of a Hundred Men on the Side of Henry the Vllth, except at Exeter^ which the Townfmen defended againft him. He was forc'd to fcamper for it, and betray'd in the End by his own Attendants , to the Gallows, he had fo well deferv'd by his Trea- fon and Invafion. There never was an Impo- ftor that came, not to a miferable End, how- ever, for a Time he might feem to flouri(h : And it would be a hard Cafe, if we who bad beaten his Protecftor the French King from one End of Europe to the other , fliould not now be able to beat a Creature of his, accompa- ny'd

ny'd by a few ftarvling Fugitives , and cow- ardly Mercenaries. Neverthelefs, tho' we do not fear him ,• tho' we have no Reafon to bea- fraid of him, and all his Abettors, yet we may by too much Security , fo expofe our felves, as to have juft Grounds for Fear here- after. If we are too negligent of our own Defence, or have too much Lenity for his Friends, we fpare them at our own Coft, and are the Inftruments of our own Peril. I would not be miftaken, That I think we ought to end the Difpute , as the Tories would end theirs on the like Occafion. I am not for ufing Arms where Juftice can have its Courfe, and only to Support the Execution of the Laws, which at this Time cannot be too general nor too rigorous. Let the Fadrion confider, That whatever Expence we and they, are at ,• whatever Trouble they may come into , they themfelves have been the Occafion of, by their Mobs and their Info- lence. Could they imagine that the People of Great-Britain , who have done fuch great Things for the Liberties of Europe , would part with their own, in Complacency to the rotten Part of the Ckrgy, and the vileft Part of the Multitude ? Did they think that fuch a Wretch as Sacheverel could really by his Nonfence and Impudence overturn a Conftitu- tion, founded on fo many Excellent Laws ? The Enemies to the Government are a lewd, noify Rabble, and their Rage is fo loud and

F tumul-

[ 34 ]

tumultuous , that it has been very terrifying and troubleibme in many Places ; But alas ! \^as ever a Great Nation conquer'd by its own Mobile. The Roman Slaves fought with their Mailers under Spartacus , but are the Britijh Slaves, our Modern Tories^ to be compar'd to thofe of Rowe^ Have their Mobs a Spirit of Liberty to infpire them ? And is their Damarey

or indeed their 2i Spartacus > The Britijh

Slaves are fo by Choice ; thofe of Rome were foby Compulfion^and yet when they ftruggled with their Matters, in what did it end but their Deftrudion ?

Let us add to all the encouraging Confi- derations before mentioned, drawn from tem- poral Reafons , That of the Prayers of our Reformed Church, The Reverend Clergy have already addrefs'd His Majefty in Convocatioft^ and given Him AfTurance of their Duty/ and of their Endeavours to keep their Flocks firnj to theirs. Thofe that feem to Countenance the Caufe of the Pretender^ whom they have abjur'd, are fo wicked in their Morals, that one cannot i-magine any Caufe they are en- gaged in will Profper. Weltotty Sutton^ Sache- verely and the reft of that miferable Crew, have abjur'd the Impoflor ; what Hopes can their Followers have of Succefs, when thof0 that lead them are fo loofe and irreligious? 'Twas an admirable Saying of one of the Par; liament Generals, in a Battel with the C^t/^- li^a^th^ latter, as was their Manner, came on

curfing

[ 35 ]

curfing and fwearing, like their Succeflbrs the Modern Tories : The Parliament's General hearing them , turn'd about to his Men, and with a Voice and Look afTur'd of VicStory, cry'd, Come on my Men^ they Blafpheme^ the Day is our own. Thus it is with the Fadiion j if they ered a Bonefire, or demolifh a Meet- ing-Houfe ,• if they Toaft Ormonde Sacheverel^ or the Impofior^ 'tis with moft horrible Oaths and Execrations : Can fuch Men as thefe be Proteftants ? No furely, They are rather Devils incarnate, and nothing but Perdition will at- tend them both in this World, and the next.
