THE SECOND PART OF THE History of Whiggisme OR THE Whiggish-PLOTS PRINCIPLES and PRACTICES Mining and Countermining THE TORY-PLOTS PRINCIPLES and PRACTICES In REIGN of King CHARLES I. TORY ONce more well met Mr. Tantivee and honest Whigg Tantivee Whigg We come on purpose to hear the Continuation of your History of Whiggisme Tory. I neither am able nor do I pretend to tell you any thing but what is to be found in Chronicles Histories and at large already in Print Tant Ay but I have not Money to buy them nor Leisure to read large Volumes give us onely an Abridgment out of those vaster Collections in relation only to the Whiggisme of them Tory. With all my heart where left I off Tant At Mr. Moor's Release and Discharge by his Gracious Majesty Charles 1. and the Imprisonment and Release of the Earl of Arundel Tory. Oh! 'T is Right Whigg But was not that part of the Kings Answer about the Imprisonment of the Earl of Arundel namely My Lords By this I do not mean to shew the Power of a King by diminishing your Priviledges ill resented by the House of Lords Tory. It plainly Intimated that the King thought He had such a Power or some about him made him believe he had such a Power of a King to Diminish their Priviledges but he did not mean to show it Tant No the more Gracious King He. Tory. However the House of Lords were so Allarum'd at the Expression that lest they should happen to have a King that was less Gracious or of a worse Meaning they would not meddle with any Business 'till they had secured as well as claim'd their Priviledges by another Tenure than what was meerly Arbitrary Ad libitum Regis and therefore Adjourn'd in Disgust resolving unanimously to take nothing into Consideration 'till they had Contrived how their Priviledges might be Secur'd to Posterity which being perceiv'd the Earl of Arundel as you have heard was Releas't to them for which he was thankfull Tant Ay that was right Tory-like and most Loyally done some Whiggs would not so Religiously have Kist the Rod that whips them Whigg 'T is somewhat against the Grain of Humanity to fawn Spaniel-like upon the Hand that beats them Tant Some men are so Loyal as to make a Legg at every Box of the Ear Who may say to a King what dost thou Whigg Misapply'd and Misconstru'd Scriptures make up a Tantivee and makes a man be a Tantivee Tant Why Is not the King's Will a Law Whigg In France they say and in Turkey not in England for so the Barons of England told the two Cardinals whom the Pope sent to Reconcile the Differences betwixt King and People about Magna Charta Liberties and Prerogative That there were many Worthy and Learned men in the Kingdom whose Council they would use and not Strangers who knew not the cause of their Commotion in the Reign of K. Edward 2. Tory. No I must confess that Forreigners unacquainted with the Fundamental Constitution of our Government and Laws are no Competent Judges of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of Contests betwixt King and People Whigg Ay the English were alwayes tender of their Liberties Tant But if English Kings did Invade their Liberties they used no Remedy I hope but Prayers and Tears Whigg And Bows and Arrows and long Swords until the Kings were Contented to Rule them according to their Oath and the Law of the Land Tant Ay Perhaps when they happened to have some easie weak timerous and condescending King Whigg No In such a juncture they were alwayes the calmer but grew rough raging high and boysterous the more vehement strong and tempestuous their Kings were as for Instance in Edw. 1. another Saul for he was higher and taller than ordinary men by the Head and Shoulders and as Tyrannical too as King Saul was He at one time at the Instigation of William Marchian then Lord Treasurer fetch 't all the Riches out of the Churches and Religious Houses and put it into his own Exchequer Loans Benevolences the Writ of Trailbaston great Fines were used by him in the Seventeenth Year of his Reign he Fined all his Judges pretending for Corruption the least of them one thousand Marks an immense Summe in those dayes but some of them two thousand some three thousand some four thousand some six thousand and the Chief Justice Sir Ralph de Hengham seven thousand Marks the Chief Baron Sir Adam Stratton four and thirty thousand Marks but from Thomas Wayland all his Goods and whole Estate Confiscate and himself Banish't and just so he used the Jews which were then in England very rich and very numerous 'T is said of K. Hen. 8. that he never Spared Man in his Anger nor Woman in his Lust but King Edw. 1. was as resolv'd as he as Couragious and Stout leaving the Marks of his personal Valour the Trophies of his Victories in the Holy-land before he was King but he could Disguise his furious Resentments and Adjourn Revenge seven and seven Years 'till he could safely Execute it Tant Safely why who should or durst say to that most Couragious and Victorious King that thrice Conquer'd Scotland France and Wales What dost thou Whigg His own People and Subjects forc't him to reason and to Rule them according to Law his Oath and Magna Charta the Parliament-men came to his Parliament Attended with Armed men very numerous at Stamford 28 Edw. 1. to make him fulfill and Execute the Charter of the Forrest says Walsingham and Knighton two Famous Historians of those times Rex Angliae sub his diebus Parliamentum tenuit Stamford ad quod convenerunt Comites Barones cum equis armis co prout dicebatur proposito ut Executionem Chartae de Foresta hactenùs dilatam extorquerent mind that ad plenum Tant Ay but how did the Stout King Edward Treat these Armed Petitioners Whigg They ask't nothing but what the Laws and his own Oath ought to have Compelled him unto and the King yielded to their Requests Rex autem eorum Instantiam Importunitatem attendens eorum voluntati in omnibus condescendit Knighton sayes De quâ re Rex Integrè plenè eorum voluntatem Implevit ad vota in which matter the King fully and wholly granted their Desires to their Wishes Tant It was very civilly done of him Whigg It was wisely and honestly done and as his Coronation Oath Equity Reason Conscience and the Laws from none of which English Kings pretend to be exempt did adjure him and Constrain him and they are devillish Councellors and the Kings worst Enemies and Traitors that perswade him to act contrary to Law Power is high enough without being wanton and lasts longest when it is not Stretcht to the height or Over-stretcht 't is a wonder that a thing so uneasie should please Tory. Ambition and Covetousness know no bounds and I have read King Edward got the Pope to set him free from the

Magna Charta is such a fellow that he will have no Soveraign I wonder this Soveraign was not in Magna Charta or the confirmations of it If we grant this by Implication we give a Soveraign power above all these Laws mind that for all Power and Liberties and Prerogatives are bounded and limited by the Laws and though they be great as the Sea yet have their bounds the Law saying Hitherto shalt thou go and no further and here shall thy proud Waves be stay'd no Prerogative is infinite in England nor any power omnipotent except that of God alone the Law limits and bounds us all from the greatest to the least And therefore Sir Eward Cook goes on telling the House That Power in Law is taken for a power with force The Sheriff shall take the power of the County what it means here God only knows It is repugnant to our Petition that is the King shall not Billet Souldiers raise Money by Privy Seals Loans Imprison without cause in Law shewn c. saving by his Soveraign Power our Petition is a Petition of Right grounded on Acts of Parliament Our Predecessors would never endure a Salvo Jure suo no more than the Kings of Old could endure for the Church Salvo Honore Dei Ecclesiae we must not admit of it and to qualifie it is impossible Let us hold our Priviledges according to the Law that Power that is above this it is not sit for the King and People to have it disputed further Tant The Oath of Allegiance binds us all to maintain the Kings Prerogative Whigg No doubt on 't and let it be for ever Sacred let no Prophane Hand or Tongue touch it no nor so much as think upon it Irreverently both it and the Peoples Liberties as aforesaid are vast and great but they are not Infinite they have their known Bounds and ancient Land-marks and Cursed is that evil Councellor that makes such a Stir to Encroach or Remove them extend them or Stretch them such deserve to Stretch for it For 't is certain that there is no Soveraign Power or Prerogative wherewith any King of England hath been intrusted either by God or Man but what is for Edification not for Destruction for the Weal of his People and for their Protection Safety and Happiness Tant Our Gracious Soveraign in his late Declarations pretends to no other Prerogative but what is legal Whigg All the better for him and us his Royal Father of Gracious Memory seem'd to Disgust his Lords as aforesaid when he told them that he meant not to shew the Power of a King by diminishing their Priviledges Tory. He wanted not bad Instillers sometimes as he Confest afterwards Whigg The Summer shall want Flies e're the Crown want Sycophants swarming about it yet like Musketoes too they usually Burn their Wings in the Flame to this sort some ascribed those words in the Kings Speech I owe the account of my Actions to God alone c. But as for Tunnage and Poundage it is a thing I cannot want Tant No why should he Whigg The matter of taking it was not so much the question as the manner of taking it namely taking it before and without the gift thereof to the King by them that had the only power to dispose thereof Tant Then there was hard Measure to some as well as hard Imprisonment if the Parliament had the only power to give Tunnage and Poundage for the Kings Commission to the Customers begins thus C. R. WHereas the Lords of the Council taking into Consideration our Revenue and finding that Tunnage and Poundage is a principal Revenue of our Crown and has been continued for these many Years have therefore Order'd all those Duties of Subsidie Custom and Import as they were in the Twenty first of King James and as they shall be appointed by Us under our Seal to be Levyed Know ye that we by the Advice of our Lords Declare our Will that all those Duties be Levyed and Collected as they were in the time of our Father and in such manner as we shall appoint and if any Person refuse to Pay then our Will is that the Lord Treasurer shall Commit to Prison such so Refusing 'till they Conform themselves And we give full Power to all our Officers from time to time to give Assistance to the Farmers of the same as fully as when they were Collected by Authority of Parliament Whigg This occasion'd Debates that ended in the Dissolution of that Parliament after which the King call'd no more of eleven long Years and Straits and Necessities were urgent and remediless without a Parliament and woful work in Conclusion Tant Why did the Parliament meddle with the Customers Whigg Because they collected Customs in Tunnage and Poundage without Authority of Parliament Tant King James had them before they were given to him in Parliament Whigg King James had them by Authority of Parliament from the day before his first Parliament begun but the Statute gave him Power so to do but not from the first day of his coming to the Crown for he came to the Crown March 24. 1602. His first Parliament began at Westminster March 19. 1603. and took many things into Consideration and Enacted them before they took into consideration Tunnage and Poundage but 1 Jac. cap. 33. the Commons by the Advice and consent of the Lords gave the King the Subsidy of Tunnage and Poundage at a very low rate namely but three Shillings a Tun for Wine and so proportionably for quantities greater or lesser than a Tun but this expir'd with the Kings Life his only Son and Successor took it without Authority of Parliament as his Father took it by Authority of Parliament to the great Disgust of his Parliament who did at length grant him Tunnage and Poundage upon certain Trusts and Confidences from the 9th of August 1641. for about three months 16 Car. 1.22 Tant What no longer Whigg Not at one loose then by 16 Car. 1.25 they trusted the King with the Customs from November 30. 1641. to February 1. namely for two Months longer Then the other Hitch for five Months namely from February 1. 1641. until July 2. 1642. Then they continued it for some little time by 16 Car. 1. c. 29. cap. 31. cap. 36. Tant But did the Free Free-Parliament in 12 Car. 2.4 give it to our gracious King for no longer time Whigg Yes yes for his Life but upon trust too so sayes the Act namely The Commons Assembled in Parliament reposing Trust and Confidence in your Majesty in and for the Guarding and defending of the Seas against all Persons intending or that shall intend the Disturbance of your said Commons in the Intercourse of Trade and the Invading of this Realm c. Tant Then it was granted for these Uses and Considerations belike and should be made Use of for no other end you would say Whigg Yea I do say so as the said Statute sayes Tant

fear of Hell and Purgatory does affright Tant Brave doings In Athens Themistocles was Governour and Rul'd the City his Wife rul'd him and her Son rul'd her where then were lodg'd the Reyns of Government Tory. What 's that to us here in England good Impertinent Whigg Do not interrupt us you Parson with your Nonsensical Prate out of old Notes which you read devoutly out of Sybthorp Manwaring and Mountague do not mistake your self you think the People of Athens had a brave time on 't luscious doings if you had liv'd there you would have known where and to whom you would make your special Addresses and close Applications Tory. Archbishop Abbot was quite out of play for refusing to License that doughty Sermon to which he made many rational exceptions as namely in Page 2. to these words And whereas the Prince pleads not the power of Prerogative and in page 8. The Kings Duty is first to direct and make Laws and page 10. If nothing may excuse from active Obedience but what is against the Law of God or of Nature or Impossible How does this agree with Page 5. That all Subjects are bound to all their Princes according to the Laws and Customs of the Kingdom wherein they live he might have honestly added and no otherwise and Page 12. yea all antiquity to be absolutely for absolute Obedience to Princes in all Civil and Temporal things Tant Hey day this is like Pope Boniface to Philip the fair of France Sciat te in Temporalibus Spiritualibus nobis subjacere Whigg They do not say in Spiritual things they would have their Prince absolute over all but themselves but is that Position agreeable to the great Charter and many more Acts of Parliament in Edw. 1. and Edw. 3. That the Subjects shall not be grieved to sustain any Charge or Aid but by the Common Assent and that in Parliament and the Petition of Right at large Confirms the same by the Repetition of many more Statutes to that purpose Tory. Enough Enough of this Tant What Opinion had Archbishop Abbot of Dr. Laud Tory. He soon found him and said his Life in Oxford was to pick quarrels in the Lectures of the Publick Readers and to give notice of them to the Bishop of Durham that he might fill the Ears of King James with Discontents against the honest men that took Pains in their Places and settled the truth which he called Puritanisme in their Auditors It was an Observation what a sweet man this was like to be that the first observable Act that he did was the Marrying the Earl of D. to the Lady R when it was notorious to the World that she had another Husband King James did for many years take this so ill that he would never hear of any great Preferment of him The Bishop of Lincoln Doctor Williams got him at length advanc't to the Bishoprick of St. Davids which he had not long enjoy'd before he began to undermine his Benefactor Tant That Ingratitude is inexcusable Tory. He continued his Rancour against him to his utmost to the very last Whigg Ay Archbishop Abbot that had woful cause to know him gave this Character of Land that such was his aspiring nature That he would underwork any man in the World so that he might gain by it Tory. The little man had a high towring Spirit which made the Kings Jester Archee who would needs say Grace before the King when little Bishop Laud was present in these words Great Praise be given to God and little Laud to the Devil Whigg The worst Crime that was laid to his Charge was the Countenancing Arbitrary and illegal Taxes recommended by Sybthorp and Manwaring and abetting these Sycophants which some call Crimen lesae majestatis Legis Regis There cannot be a greater Treason than an endeavour to rob the King of his Goodness Truth Conscience Trust and fidelity to his People nor a readier Road to Ruine The Kings Prerogative is the guard of the Subjects Liberties and Peace he has no Prerogative but what the Law gives him much less any Prerogative against Law Equity Reason Conscience and Justice though Sycophants for vile ends would so have stretch't it They wore the old Text thredbare Give unto Caesar the things that are Caesars in those Tantivee-dayes Tant Why so Whigg If you will not be Angry Parson I 'le tell you a Story a true one of my own certain knowledge and remembrance that will for ever Spoyl hereafter all your Tantivee-Sermons on that Text. Tant Nay if it be such a spoyl-Sermon-story keep it to your self for I have four Sermons upon that Text ready writ and they will last me with Repetitions you know and eeking out two whole Months Tory. Prythee Whigg let 's hear your story however let the Parson storm as he pleases or be disappointed Whigg Before one of the wisest Kings that ever England had King James did one D. Harsnet Preach a Tantivee-Sermon on that Text Give unto Caesar but his Sermon poor man instead of getting thanks for the same had the Hap that afterwards befell Manwarings Sermon it happened to be Burnt by the common Hangman Tant Hard Hap what was the matter Whigg Onely for asserting as thou hast done twenty times That all mens Goods and Moneys are Caesars for which the Parliament though the Sermon was Preached in the Kings Chappel at Whitehall call'd my Gentleman coram nobis taking great offence thereat Tant What was that Doctor Harsnet Whigg He was afterwards made Bishop of Chichester and then Bishop of Norwich just as Mr. Mountague leapt and perhaps upon the same rise and advantage of the ground Tantiviisme and for the same Covetous reason too because the Norwich Bishoprick is the richer and then leapt to Yorks Archbishoprick Tory. But King James disown'd the Doctor in that affair and did not own him therein Whigg Yes yes I told you he was a wise King and used to say that he was a Tyrant that did not rule according to Laws and calmed the business moderating thus and saying that the Bishop onely failed in this When he said the Goods were Caesars he did not add they were his according to the Laws and Customs of the Country wherein they did live Tory. I do not deny but the Bishops had great Sway and influence over affairs both in Church and State if the Lord Faukland's Speech in Parliament to that purpose was well Calculated for those times Tant I have heard much Discourse of the Speech of that Lord so fam'd for his Learning and Loyalty as well as Nobility but I could never get a sight of it Whigg It was call'd the true Picture of those times pourtraying that modern Episcopacy to the life Anno 1640. and here it is Tant Read it Whigg The whole would be tedious I 'le read part of it thus he begins MAster Speaker he is a great stranger in Israel who knows not that this Kingdom hath long laboured under many

People in breaking his Coronation Oath and Kingly trust he lost his Peoples Hearts and cousequently his own Life and Roger Mortimer was Kill'd in the Queens Embraces and both Court and Church suffered in the other Instance Tant Did the City of London joyn with the Queen and the Confederates Whigg Yes and the Londoners to shew their good will to the Queen and the Confederate Lords with great despight Beheaded Walter Stapleton Bishop of Exeter and Lord Treasurer in rancour and hatred to the King with many others that they thought lov'd that unhappy King his Kingdom as well as himself suffering beyond all Patience for his Folly and Perfidiousness in breaking his Word Oath and Royal Trust and by Gods heavy Judgments and Displeasure there being in the eighth Year of this silly Prince's Reign such a Dearth or scarcity of Provisions that Horses and Dogs were eaten and Thieves in Prison pluck't in Pieces those that were newly brought in and had got some flesh of their backs and eat them them half alive Tant Sure that King was an ill-natur'd man Whigg No quite contrary he was fair of Body and of great Strength given much to Drunkenness but not much to Women Kind and Loving but unfortunate in pitching his Affections upon bad Men and evil Counsellors which was his Ruine and theirs too Tory. Some Men are not capable of good advice Quos Deus intendit perdere dementat prius Whom Heaven does Hate to their own wayes It leaves them Then Strips them of their Wits and then Bereaves them Whigg Some thought he deserv'd a better fate than he found to be Depos'd by his Parliament and Murther'd by the means of those that made him a Cuckold or Bishop Tarleton the Court-Pimp to the Queen and Mortimer others said Honi soit qui mal y pense Let evil befall to evil men Tory. Well we have enough of him to return to Archbishop Abbot who told little Doctor Land then Bishop of Bath in a Conference with him about Sybthorp's Sermon and this Passage therein viz. All Antiquity to be absolutely for absolute Obedience to Princes in all civil or temporal things that such Cases as Naboth's Vineyard may fall within this Whereupon the little-great-man was as a Man in a Rage and fell a Huffing saying that it was an odious Comparison for it must suppose that there must be an Ahab and a Jezabel and I cannot tell what Sons of Belial for false Witnesses and a Judge for the nonce c. But the Archb told him that Reviling and Railing does not answer his Argument All Antiquity taketh in Scripture and if there has been an Ahab or a Jezabel that which has been is possible to be again many years hence and if sayes Doctor Abbot I had allowed that Proposition for good I had been justly beaten with my own Rod For if the King the next day had commanded me to send him all the Money and Goods I had I must by my own Rule have obeyed him and if he had commanded the like to all the Clergy-men and Gentlemen Yeomen and Commons in England by Sybthorp's Proportion and my Lord of Canterbury's allowing the same they must have sent in all and left their Wives and Children in a miserable Case Tory. What care the Courtiers for your Wives and Children Whigg True but the wonder is that any Englishman that has an Estate though he got it by Pimping should desire any Tantivee-wayes or Arbitrary-sway lest he lose it as suddenly Tant Or that any of us Clergy-men should be Tantivees you would say is a wonder too Whigg You say right but greedy Dogs that can never have enough so they have but at present to please their rav'ning Appetite they gulp and swallow all but never consider how it will Digest or do them good Tory. Nay It is impossible to do them good for it never digests or breeds good blood but bad humours in abundance that overflowes them if it do not stick in their Throats at the first going down as many times it does and choaks them before they taste the Sweetness of their Morsels the Reward of their Spaniel-like fawning and Sycophantry Whigg I am glad to hear this from you Mr. Tory. Tant So am not I if Toryes leave Tantivees to shift for themselves what will become of us losing our main Props Whigg Then make use of your Main-sail and Skud over the Water where you all strive to be and whither you seem to drive might and main for Popery and Arbitrary Government are Inseperable at least Arbitrary Plants cannot thrive in England except they be water'd and besprinkled with Popish Exorcismes and Holy-water Some Bishops of the Church of England have said that there is but a very little little difference betwixt Popery and us our Holy-dayes our Service in English theirs in Latine but word for word in most parts thereof our Priests Vestments Church-musick Candles Altars Bowing Cringing the very same Tant Right but we have not Auricular Confession nor hold we Transubstantiation Whigg You mean you cannot perswade the People to come to Auricular-Confession but for the real presence many Preach it up but by a distinction Metaphysical a distinction without a difference they only deny the corporal presence Tant So then you 'l say we differ therein from the Papists only in nice words and terms of distinction Whigg If it be more than words wherein you differ in this point then that thing you bow to at the Altar is really nothing for if it be a real thing it is a corporeal thing if it take up its residence in one place of the Church more than the other and on the Altar and the East more than on the Pulpit and the West Nay some Preachers that Bow very reverently to the Altar at Service-time turn their Back-sides to it all the while they are Preaching very undecently if there be something there to be reverenc't more than on the North West or South-side where no Altars are Tant You are a Perillous Whigg Whigg And you are either a fool for bowing to nothing constantly or a Papist in heart for bowing to some real thing that takes up its Lodging on the Altar in the East which as yet you dare not name Tant Then you would make us believe that between the two Religions there went but a pair of Shears Whigg Far be it from me to say so but between some of the Priests and Bishops of the two Religions there has scarce gone so much as the Lord Faulkland said It is all that a good Living or 1500 l per annum can do to keep some of them from declaring themselves openly and professedly to be Papists these Fellowes never speak of the worst the darkest the blackest the bloodyest Superstition in the World under the known name of Popery Papists c. but mildly and gently they only call it the Church of Rome the Catholicks c. and if sometimes they call them Romanists and Roman Catholicks

that have been the Authors and Causers Tant Of what Of Law and Gospel Whig No of all the Miseries Ruines and Calamities that are now upon us Mr. Speaker This is the Age Mr. Speaker that hath produced and brought forth Achitophels Hammans Woolseyes Empsons and Dedleyes Tricilians and Belknapes Vipers and Monsters of all sorts Tant We use to lay the cause of all our Civil Wars at the doors of the Puritans Roundheads or Whiggs Whig Ay you know no more than just what Oliver 's Fidler and Nat. Thompson discover to you Are you not asham'd to berul'd and taught Ethicks and Politicks from the Pillory the Mass and the Stews poor Tories and Tantivees I blush she you Tant But why do you so often make Astrismes and Remarks of Popular Fury against the Grand Favorites Whig Our own Memories can sufficiently enform us of the Tragical Events that attend the Peoples Odium Indignation and Wrath. Dr. Lamb for no other fault but taken on Suspition for an Intimado and Friend to the Duke of Buckingham was pull'd in pieces by the Mobile and Rable and Verses presently drop'd about the Streets Threatning the like Fate to the Duke This Dystich for one Let Charles and George do what they can The Duke shall Dic like Doctor Lamb. And he that Stab'd the Duke was rather bewail'd and Canoniz'd then Execrated by the Populace what Devils Incarnate did the people prove to the two De Witts in Holland not long ago The examples of Popular Hatred and Revenge I call it not always Justice because Irregular at best are infinite in our own and Foraign Countries What need I tell of the Sicilian Vespers Mastnello's ten days Revenge occasioned by the Gabell's or Excise and yet it was established by Law as Hearth-money amongst us and Excise amongst us and in Holland and other Countries Tant I perceive by the Story that of all men living Favorites Grand Minions whom all men Envy have had the worst luck Whig To go no further back than King Edward 2. how miserably were Gaviston and the two Spencers Tom and Dismembred limb from limb Tory. Ay so was Lord William Scroop Earl of Wiltshire and Lord Treasurer and Sir John Bushy Bagot and the two Green's Thomas and Henry in Richard 2. time Whig And so ended the Duke of Somerset and Suffolk in Henry 6. time Tant These were three Easie Kings Whig But what was Henry 8. then And what Fate had Woolsey Tory. Or the Duke of Somerset and his Brother the Admiral both of them Vncles to the King in Edward 6. Reign Whig Or Duke of Buckingham Earl of Strafford Archbishop Laud in Charles I. time Or Earl of Clarendon in his present Majesties Reign which God long preserve Tant The Earl of Clarendon came off or rather he march'd off if you please and well he could Whig Well then God send me A Moderate Fortune and a quiet Conscience A Soul not Stuff'd with Flattery or Non-sense Nor with much Business too uneasie made Nor of a Curtain-Lecture much afraid But at a Thunder-Bolt stands undismay'd With Brow Unwrinkled Feet without the Gout Let Hero's plod and heave each other out And strive to be mark'd out the Peoples hate Bustling who first shall feel the wonted Fate And Justle for the Bench and Noisy-bar We Shrubs are lower but far Happier I 'le conclude with an old Story Cambyses King of Persia was a man naturally inclin'd to Goodness but Spoil'd by Sycophants and drill'd on to absolute Tyranny by Whores and Sycophants that led him by the Nose and then for Lust he was not only Insatiable but wildly Extravagant scarce any Wench of his own Kingdom would serve his Wanton Squeamish Old Appetite and yet he had of his own Subjects Whores in abundance that were as willing as heart could wish and would have been glad of the Preferment to be a Royal Whore for besides the pleasent sin there was Money and a Title of Honour too perhaps in the Case But nothing would serve Cambyses but to make his own Sister his Miss and not only so but he could have been tempt'd and could find in his heart to make her his Wife if he durst for the Laws whereupon to satisfy the Laws and his Lust together he made a Privy-Council-business of it and Consulted them and the Lawyers whether he might no. Marry his Sister lawfully They Answered That they knew no Law which admitted such Marriages but that there was a Prerogative That the Persian Kings might do what they listed Tant The Prerogative then is a very Hapy Commodity these and a help it seems to get such a Commodity as is not allowed to the poor nor to the wicked neither by the Law of God nor man But tell us more concerning our Kings Prerogative in reference to Parliaments Whig Not now however for I understand your drift Mr. Catch-Pole but I am not very ambitious of being a State-Martyr I find cold comfort in it in a Thankless unthinking and degenerate Age besides Mr. Tantivee you can Swear with a Witness and either strain my words or you 'l stretch your Conscience and it is a Cheverill-Conscience already we know it by woful experience Tant But now that Mr. Tory is absent there cannot you know be two stretching Witnesses speak bold Truths and tell us why the Parliament did lay to the charge of King Charles I. the granting Passes under his own Hand to several of his Servants and Knights to go over into Ireland Signed C. R. and serve and assist the Irish Rebels that cut the Protestants Throats and also sent to the Duke of Ormond to make Peace with them and to promise them Toleration and a Deputy of their own chusing who they would and agreed that they should come over for England and what to do tell us some of these Mysteries and How and Why the Pope sent them a Plenary Indulgence for the merit of Butchering the Protestants Whig A Vaunt thou Tempter how darest thou Pittiful Tantivee grow thus Insolent and Troublesome here May I not be Master of mine own nor quiet in my own House for these Beggarly and Cowardly Tories and Tantivees Boy bring me hither my Old Fox again I 'le once more wear it by my side rather than thus be pester'd and disturb'd with Slaves that cannot look in a Glass but they must see in their Foreheads those Scarrs which are the Witnesses as well as Trophyes of Whiggish Valour and his Vnconquered Sword Tory has had a soft place in his Head ever since Tant Dear Whigg Pry'thee a few more of your Perillous Truths Whig Not now I profess you grow Trouble some Have you no more wit Do you know who you speak to Catchpole Begone I say Ha FINIS London Printed for E.
