is with our Don Bragghibus the Hermite of the Sounding Island we know his main Aim is at a Modest Vindication he levels at the Salamanca Doctor but being blinded by Mounsieur Gas-teare with passion and desire of Revenge he storms and fumes at the preservation of his Soveraign shoots his Fools bolts against those dreadful Instruments of Murder Poyson Screw'd Guns and Consecrated Daggers with which his Sacred Life was threatned laughs at 'em as meer Scar-Crows and by contemptuously denying the possibility of any such wicked Intendments seeks to infer an improbability of the General Popish Plot from a silly idle pretended paltry Disgust of his own against the first Discoverer There is a famous Morallist who tells us a story of a Fool that if any person had flung a Stone at him and hit him a good thump yet would he be so far from flinging at any other than those who threw at him that he would not throw any other Stone but that individual Stone which was flung at himself This Fool was ten times wiser than our wise Mounsieur Bragghibus He pretends the Salamanca Doctor has thrown a Stone at him and crackt that little brittle Reputation he had and therefore he flings at all pelts the King's Preservation slap saies he at the Conservation of the Kingdom Have at the Discovery of the Popish Plot and all this to make the King's Preservation the Preservation of the Kingdom and the Discovery of the Plot stand out of his way that he might have the more room to let drive at the Head of his Capital Enemy the Salamanca Doctor Had the Salamanca Doctor disgruntl'd him yet there was no reason from thence that therefore such a Muckworm of a Bragghibus as he should play the Jack-pudding with the Highest Concerns of Three Nations Whence perceiving it as plain as a Fly in the Milk we may conclude in Frisesomorum that our Mounsieur Bragghibus though he pretend himself a Priest of the Church of England is not altogether so conversant with the Bible as many others are and therefore we would recommend to his consideration as a History which perhaps may be more pleasing and delightful to him the 4th Chapter of the first Book of Gusman where he shall find many Excellent Lessons touching the understanding of Injuries and how to proceed where Offences are taken Now should you demand a Reason of these Hot and Fiery Proceedings 't is greatly to be fear'd that Mounsieur Bragghibus would be tunc ut nunc in Huffis Puffis and Lookando over Shouldrum Leftum would answer proudly surlily haughtily promiscuously darkly obscurely deeply profoundly But what saies St. Ambrose Qui huffat huffabitur qui look at lookabitur Methinks I hear his Reply already First That Quinta Essentia suffering a Coagulation with Democratical Atoms in Genere 〈◊〉 ralissimo 't is not Rational that there should be a privation of the Natural Energy of Material exurgens Catholou Proton For that Tarabin tarabas being the Hieroglyphical Construction of the four Elements of which Choler is a Problematical Mixture there can be no Efficient Cause of an Enharmonical Agreement between the Pole Artick and Antartick Fourthly and lastly Seeing that in Matters of High Concernment there ought still to be Conumdrum-bombinans in the vacuity of the circumambient Air which according to the Author of that Excellent Treatise called The Master of Arts Drenching-Horn is required to dilucidate the Discovery of the Hoti Dittoti in causa sine quae non therefore it is impossible there should be a Coalition of Intellectuals in eodem Radio Kata Pantòs These Sir if you will be so contented are true Dodonean Delphic Heraclean Sybilline Pythian Ammonian high abstruse recluse Answers indeed Potent Reasons and Justifications of over boiling Choler and therefore since we are like to expect no better from the Hermite of the Sounding Island himself what think you of propounding the stress of the Hermite's Modest Vindication to two Learned and Famous Persons that I have in my Eye A very fair Proposal but who are the Two as notable Casuists o' my word as ever tormented Genus and Species The learned Suarez and most acute Alvarez Agreed Why then ●renas Mannanas Sennores No persons so fit as you to resolve the Doubts and Questions we shall propound to ye as being both Spaniards and for that the difference from whence our Doubts arise concern a Doctor of Salamanca and the Hermit of the Sounding Island who has been a Slave among the Moors once Lords of a great part of your Country Yet we would not have you favour Salamanca for Salamanca's sake nor give a wrong judgement against the Hermit for the sake of the Moors your Capital Foes Suar Alvar. Sennores no los conocemos uy el un ny el otro però haremos nos la justitia a todos dos sin algumâ parcialidad Sennores No more Spanish Only this farther we request that your replies may be very short and that you would if possible answer us in Monosylables or Dissyllables at most for we love brevity and Laconicness exceedingly Alv. Suar. Proceed Do we not find in credible History mention made of Consecrated Daggers and of Poyson mix'd in the very Host it sell for the destruction of Princes Suar. Alvar. Right And is there any impossibility that a serew'd Gun may be made use of for the same wick'd intendments Suar. Alvar. None What Members do Men make use of when they give Evidence against Traytor Suar. Alvar. Tongues Do they breath when they speak Suar. Alvar. Breath Is it then the breath of the Witness or the Law by which the Criminal is condemn'd that is the occasion of the Criminals being hang'd Suar. Alvar. Law What does the Hermit mean by the destruction of several eminent Persons Does he not mean those notorious Jesuites who if for nothing else had been justly executed only for being found nestling in a forbidden Land Suar. Alvar. Doubtless What does he mean by Hazarding the lives of a great many more does he not mean the Rest that by reason of our confusions and distractions have hitherto escap'd And does it not shew the true Popish inclinations of a Church of England Priest Suar. Alvar. Plain The what does such a prophane Libeller such a froppish Droller upon the Deliverances of Heaven and Ridiculer of his Princes and his Countries Preservation deserve Suar. Alvar. Hemp. What are they that will not beleive a Popish Plot examin'd by the King and his Council acknowledged by the Parliament of the Nation and attested by the Sentences of the Judges of the Land Are they a Fools or a Knaves Suar. Alvar. Both. Is not the Hermit of the Sounding Island an impudent Priest of the Church of England to deride the Salamanca Doctor 's Attestation against the worst of Criminals by the Name of Buke-blawing Suar. Alvar. True Which of the two d' ye think speaks most to the purpose Guzman or the Hermit Suar. Alvar. Gu●
