lyed a thousand times to her face And were not all the opprobriums in nature cast upon that Royal Martyr King Charles I. before they brought His Royal Head to the Block Certainly if we do but look back into the Transactions of elapsed times there is no Family under the Sun ought to detest the Whigs more than the Royal Family of the Stuarts for since the Reformation in these Kingdoms that pest of People have not only Rebelled but also do facto murdered Three several Princes of the said Royal Family viz. Prince Henry King James's Father Queen Mary before-mentioned and the best of Kings Charles the late Royal Martyr Had the Whigs any grain of understanding they would never believe that the Author of ⋆ The Earl of S. would have have Holland destroyed Carthago delenda was ever a True Protestant but a Self interested States-mans not ambitious to propagate True Religion but avaritious to accumulate Riches and Honour to himself and to accomplish his unsatiable requests God is the Cloak wherewith he shades his Monstrous * Treason my be compared to a Monster Hydra And to attract a Popular Faction of purpose to acquire his unreasonable ends he deludes the ignorant sort of people with these bug-bear words Religion Property and Liberty are in a tottering state if the Duke of Y. be not Excluded 'T is an old Saying that quoties vis fallere plebem singe Deum If thou would'st deceive the Rabble pretend Piety Such is the subtilty of Crafty men in all Ages to insinuate into the minds of the Vulgar either out of Discontent or Self-interest Rebellion and Treason guilded over with the Blessed Name of * In nomine Domini incripit omne malum God These two Deified Pills viz. Rebellion and Treason exteriourly appearing specious to their corporeal senses though intrinsically venomous are unsensibly swallow'd by the inconsiderate sort of men and in time infects and pestifies their minds and bodies and takes such rooting in their Souls until the intellectual parts are depraved that nothing will stem them from revolution against the Government but the panick fear of a Gallows or being cut off by the Sword But let the States-man animadvert that there is ' no greater Glory than to learn to subdue Ambition when it floweth not from Justice and to endeavour to preserve our Conscience and Honour inviolable rather than acquire an Empire by sinister means Diadems won by ill ways are not Characters of Glory to those Heads that bear them but rather Wreaths of Infany such as are fixed on Varlets and Thieves And whereas 't is alledged in the said Pamphlet that it is altogether incredible that such a sagacious and wise Peer as the Earl of Sh. could be Guilty of so great an Errour as to make such Rascals as the Witnesses are for so the Pamphleteer calls them privy to his Secrets All men will deem the same as morally possible as it was for His Royal Highness and the Noble Lords in the Tower to communicate their Secrets to such Rascals as Thom. D ld and his Accomplices are There is none but a silly crack-obrain'd Whig would publish such a simple Argument For had he consulted the Records of Parliament and how the Noble Peer acknowledged his Errours upon his bended Knees before the Bar of the Lords in these words following he would not justifie the Earl's Infalibility These are the words I do acknowledge that my endeavouring to maintain that that the Parliament is Dissolv'd was an ill-advised action for which I bed the Pardon of the King's Majesty and of this most Honourable House And also I acknowledge that my bringing of an Habeas Corpus in the Kings-Bench during this Session was an high violation of your Lordships Priviledges and a great aggravation of my former Offence for all which I likewise most humbly beg the pardon of this most Honourable House Did not David err that was a man after God's own heart And also his Son Solomon with whom God Covenanted offer'd Victims to Idols and false Gods And shall the Phanaticks presume to say that he that was of the late Usurpers Factions contrary to his Allegiance and the Honour of a true Gentleman cannot err 'T is such a Non-sensical Assertion that none but a stupid Whig would write the same Besides has not the Noble Peer eaten of the King's Bread was he not promoted to all the greatest Preferments in England Si ingratum dâ—xeris omnia dâ—xeris next to a Crowned Heard And how he has remunerated His Majesty by his late Association against His Royal Person and Government I leave to the consideration of any sober person But such is the blind Zeal of those Factious Spawns of a Dunghil that they will Canonine any man a Saint after their own impious manner though never so wicked himself that espouses their Diabolical Intrigues OF the Witnesses that were suborned to appear against Mr. Heyns at Oxford when College was tryed take this short Relation Frist of Betty Oliver who has been a common Whore to several persons and especially to one Mr. Cock that was a Prisonet in the Fleet and after he relinquish'd her she had a Bastard by one Mr. Briwingham a Red-Coat Souldier now living in Tangier afterwards she lived in a Bawdy-house by Doctors Commons If any question the truth of this matter let them repair to the Fleet-Prison where they may be confirmed of most of the premisses but several persons there This Whore was suborned to appear against Heyns at Oxford by one Mr. Angel and the foresaid Cock the former having bought off the Pillory he being convicted of Forgery and several other Misdemeanours as Heyns will make appear if occasion requires The later is the greatrsts Whig and Rogue in Nature and a Pimp to his own Daughter He was a Prisoner in the Fleet for Cheating and Cozening and his Chamber whilst he remained there was always full of Pick-pockets Whores and Bawds As for Edm. Ev d he was born in Ireland his Father â—ilius populi in pain English a Bastard and all his life-time a common Beggar and a Plebean Ev d himself went into France when he was a Boy and one Monsieur Gilow a Ronish Priest seeing him begging like one of the Black-Guard-boys in the streets at Paris he took him up for Charity-sake and kept him till the Beggar began to grow pround but at last he was expelled out of the Colledge for a misdemeanour modesty obliges me not to divulge Afterwards Father Gascoine Sir Thomas Gascoine's Brother having kept a Community in the Colledge of Montague took him for Charity-sake to wipe his Shoes but committing some other Crime he dismiss'd him And afterwards he turned Footman to the Abbot of Rheni and remained in that station for some time One passage I must not omit of him which was this His Father being a common Beggar in Holland where he dyed came to Paris to visit his Son Edm. Ev d expecting some relief from him but he seeing his Father in a most despicable condition absolutely renoune'd the old man to be his Father notwithstanding all his Countrey-men then at Paris knew the same poor man to be his Father The old Beggar was fore'd to take his Staff and his Wallet and mump all the way back to Holland again He has this day a Wife at Paris a Bakers Daughter in the University but she knows not what corner of the Universe he lives in This Villain Ev d with A S and others instructed the most part of those Witnesses that appeared against Heyns at Oxford as some of the said Witnesses deposed upon Oath before a Magistrate since the Tryal of Stephen Colledge After he left being Foot-man at Paris he turned common Cheat for he used to have a Port-mantle stuffed with some heavy mettal and where-ever he took Lodgings he made the folks believe his Port-mantle was full of Cold and Silver and this course of life he led till he cozen'd hundred but a last he was seized upon at Pont-neufe in English New-bridge in Paris and carried before the Judge of Criminal matters who committed him in order to have him Hanged for you must understand Cheats are hang'd by the Civil-Law But his Countrey-men got him off because he was a stranger and a Roman Catholick and conveyed him out of Town in order to his coming for England where he has played several pranks and still will until the Hang-man sanctifies his Neck with a Rope Another of these Rascals that were suborned against Heyns is one H H a common Affidavit-fellow as seveeral in Town will witness when occasion serves This Hickman says he heard Heyns through a Key-hole say to one Mrs. Scot H 's Lodger it was Heyn's Trade to live by Swearing vide Colledg's Tryal fol. 40.41 where the Rascal says in these words I was at the Chamber-door and looked at the Key-hole and he sate at the window When the Varlet was asked by the Judge how long ago it was he heard Heyns say so to Mrs. Scot He replied it was a year and a half before the said Tryal of Colledge whereas it will be made out by the Gentlewomans Daughter and many more who live in Town that Mrs. Scot parted from London the 25th of July 1679. being the Feast of St. James which was 2 yearrs the 25th of July 1681. before the 17th and 18th of August when Colledge was tryed at Oxford so that A S and Ev d did not instruct him to a hairs breadth having mist half a year and above of the time he saw Mrs. Scot as he pretended in Heyns's Company This Villains Testimony against Heyns may be comparted to T O 's who swore he saw His Royal Highness the Duke of York at Mass peeping through a Key-hole Thus these Perjur'd Rascals have endeavoured to stifle the Truth against Stephen Colledge who was known by the very Whigs themselves to be a man of very pernicious Principles against his Sovereign Prince and the present Government FINIS
was not at all Chief-Justice nor no thoughts thereof Heyns answer'd that Point so well once before that he thought he put an end to the Whiggish Tautologies for when mention was made of my Lord Chief-Justice Pemberton in Colledge's Tryal at Oxford Heyns never named any particular month time or place in relation to Sir Francis Pemberton for if there had been any such Query demanded of him he could easily answer That Colledge spoke ill of my Lord Chief-Justice Pemberton divers times and especially in his own house before Mrs. Fitz-Harris and Mr. Ivy nay if need requires an eminent Citizen of London will be produced that can verifie that Colledge called Sir Francis Pemberton a thousand Rogues and that he hoped the next Parliament that sate would hang him up because he gave his opinion to the King that Fitz-Harris might be tryed out of Parliament And for Heyns being married to one Mrs. Mansfield as is alledged in the said Pamphlet 't is such Non-sense that none but a foolish simple Whig would publish such a ridiculous Story for the Gentlewoman her self denies she ever spoke any such thing If any be curious to know the truth of this false Alarum Mrs. Mansfield lodges at the Twisted Posts in James-street in Covent-garden who will certifie him of the truth of things But 't is no marvel the Phanatiques will six two Marriages upon Heyns at once when they impose two upon His Majesty viz. that He was married to the Duke of Monmouth's mother Horrid Indignation to His Sacred Majesty although he denied it upon the word of a Christian and a King Another idle Fable is set down in the said Pamphlet of Mr. Heyns how he counterfeited a Letter from one Mr. Oliver a Prisoner in the Fleet-Prison to one Mr. Harbottle of Lincoln whereby Mr. Oliver was cozen'd of the value of 200 l. Heyns answered this Whiggish Lye once before and had it printed in Mr. Thompson's Intelligence But I leave it to the judgment of any rational man how the said Oliver could be cheated of 200 l. having sworn himself out of Prison not to be worth 10 l. in all the World by the last Act of Parliament made three or four years ago for the Release of poor Prisoners for Debt Besides the Statute of Bankrupt was extended upon all his real and personal Estate many years before Heyns ever knew him and Mr. Adams that lives in Holborn a Barrister of Lincolns-Inn was one of the Commissioners for the said Statute of Bankrupt moreover Heyns calls God to witness he never knew Mr. Harbottle in all his life Some few things more I have to answer that are published in the said Pamphlet One is that it was beneath the Earl of Shaftsbury to speak to such a mean Rascal as Heyns is or words to that effect Of this Pamphleteer I would ask these two Questions What does he conceive by these word mean Rascal If he intimates Heyns baseness of Birth he can easily prove himself as well born by Father and Mother as the Noble Peer setting aside the King's Impression of Honour his Father is descended from the ancient Family of the Heyns of Connaught originally sprung from a younger Son of Miletinâ— that was Monarch of Ireland And in Henry the VIII's Reign his Ancestor by the Father side had power of Life and Death upon his own Estate and had Fifty Mannors that were his real Inheritance His Family was always Loyal to the Crown of England so that he will put his Life to issue if ever there was a Traytor of his own Line His Mother was descended of the Noble and Ancient Family of the Burks of Clanricarde that have been Peers of England and are still Peers of Ireland The Royal House of Lancaster married the onely Heiress and Daughter of the Earl of Vlster and Clanricarde whose name was Burke the Title of Vlster being given to the sole Heirs of his Body lawfully begotten and in her Right the Duke of York by the Lancaster Line is Hereditary Earl of the said Province In all Ages the said Family of the Burkes have shewed their Loyalty to the Kings of England and kept the Crown of Ireland upon Queen Elizabeth's head having with unspeakable Fortitude and true Valor defeated the confederate Irish and Spaniards in several pitched Battels when the Spaniards invaded Ireland in Queen Elizabeth's Reign If he means that Heyns was Basely Educated the Pamphleteer will be laughed at for no private Gentleman's Son could have better Documents instilled into him than he had in those liberal Sciences imbellishing a Gentleman Besides he lived always by his own honest industry and independant of any man which several Whigs in London can witness It was his Fathers Loyalty to his Prince that clouded his Birth and Breeding for had he sided with the late Usurper he might enjoy his own Inheritance to this day Let no man imagine that I publish these things of my Family out of Vain-glory but to let the world know I want nothing to make me a complete Gentleman but an Estate and that I am not such an abject person as the Whigs render me to the world Besides I think I do my Prince a great deal of Justice in clearing my Reputation from those Aspersions daily spoke of me by his Enemies And whereas 't is printed in the said Pamphlet that it was altogether groundless what Heyns deposed against the Earl of Shaftsbury relating to the Duke of Buckingham viz. That his Mother was not descended of the Plantagenets Heyns desires the Reader to consult the Heralds who are ready to prove that she was descended of a Sister or Daughter to Edw. IV. But the Pamphleteer may as well deny this point as that the Noble Peer never spoke to Heyns And I do really believe the Earl of S y would not involve his Native Countrey in a Civil War as 't is there mentioned out of any love he had for the Duke of Bucks but out of that odium he bears to the Duke of York and others he would make a New Association with the Infernal Fiends and offer all things that are dear to him in this Life as a libation to the Devil upon condition he might revenge himself upon the Yorkists And whereas the said Pamphlet denies that the Earl of Sh. spoke contumeliously of the King all men know that is not only usual with him to revile and speak ignominiously against the King privately but also publickly in open Parliament See the Speech of the Noble Peer where 't is said We want a Prince that we may Trust And in another paragraph of the same Speech he bids the King to change His Principles c. This uncivil Dialect is customary with Whigs in all Ages to Princes as any Historian can tell that has read the Life of Mary Queen of Scots Vide The History of the Rebellion in Scotland against the said Queen whom Knocks the Minister called often Whore and Jezabel and told her she
