Roger L'estrange's QUERIES CONSIDERED AND Some Queries put for the Consideration of those Persons whose Judgments are in danger of being again Poysoned by the Snare of smooth Words calculated to the humour of a Biggot for the helping the Indigent Case of King James and Vindicating the Non-Abdicators 1. WHether the Church of England ought not to be content and very grateful that the King has so often declared himself for the Church of England without obliging his Majesty on pain of their Displeasure and no less a Scandal than Presbyterian in his Heart to subjoyn a profess'd Abhorrence and inveterate Enmity against all his Dissenting Subjects 2. Whether the Church of England or Dissenters have most made it their Business to Libel the present King or whether indeed they ever did Libel him to the Degree of our Query-maker in his sixth Query and whether it be the sin against the Holy Ghost for the Dissenters to glory in the Friendship of their King who has given them his Royal Word for his Favour and Protection in the Liberty of their Conscience which is so much repined at and the King so much hated for 3. Whether it be really the Church of England or our Query-maker only that makes her so that makes her self a Sanctuary for all the Offenders of the last Reign and if so What she can answer to her excluding the late King James while none of his Instruments are thought guilty enough to suffer no nor to be excluded doing the same things again if they have Opportunity 4. Whether also it had not been as mannerly in our Inquirer to have set down a List of all those Members that stood in need of Indemnity 1660. to make out that it was a majority or whether his Credit be good enough to pass without Proof who stands in so much need of an Indemnity himself and of a Pillory now for traducing 146 Gentlemen of the House of Commons as Republicans or old Rebels because against his Will they Voted his present Majesty King and took the Sword of Persecution out of the hand of the Church of England 5. Whether his third Query be not insinuation enough to make the Church of England loath him who foster upon them his own Spirit of Blood and War so contradictory to the known and practised Doctrine of the Church Charity and Passive Obedience and what but Rebellion can this Libeller insinuate when he says the Church of England will be esteem'd Cowards and Stupid if they do not awake against those his Majesty has taken into his Protection 6. Whether this Fellow is not a fit Person to be hugg'd by the Church of England that shall boast in Print that our Army in Ireland are but remains of Regiments and proposing other means to reduce Ireland than giving Taxes viz. recalling K. James if he does not mean that we desire him to name those other means not doubting Majesty as well as the Nation will take it very kindly of him to put us in a way to reduce the Kingdom without Money or a way for Money without Taxes 7. Whether any Dissenter ever denyed his fifth Query or what his reason is for putting it or how he will prove all those qualifications upon any Member of the House 8. Whether it be sit for this Query-maker to call in question the Actions of Parliament and if it be how he will make it out that the House changed the Right of Succession and how will the Church of England answer to a Charge against their boasted Loyalty for suffering an Impudent Scribler to call the making his Majesty King a Voting Queen Mary out of three Kingdoms or whether this be not such an Affront to his Majesty and the present Government as any Subject that has respect for either cannot but regret 9. Whether it is not as likely they should be his Majesties Friends that Voted for making him King as those that were against it and whether ever the King told this Query-maker he was sensible they had Republican Designs in doing it 10. Whether the Temper of those Members does not deserve Censure who were so hasty for a General Pardon that they could not stay to think of making Inquisition for Blood that so the guilt of all the Blood spilt in the late Tyranny might devolve on the Nation but preferr'd their own security against the lash of the Law to the just retribution that God Almighty expected from their hands in whom he had placed the dispensing of Justice and to the King 's being just to his Declaration 11. Whether it was not a sign of an excelling Loyalty in those Members who so carefully provided that the King should swear at his Coronation to protect the Bishops in all their Episcopal Rights who at the same time refused to swear Allegiance to him or to own him as their Head and how much it went against the grain to have them suspended for it is discernable in every Query he makes 12. Whether Whipping Oats was not an Instance of Tyranny and Cruelty in a Nation that of all the World pretends to Humanity and to have no Tortures practised and whether the opposing that reversing Vote was not more to shew their good Will than any Spleen to the Man himself 13. Whether if all these things do not unqualifie a Member for a place in the House Qu. 6. Why being banished by the Cruelty of an Abdicated Tyrant should unfit a Man for the Service of his Countrey remains to be proved 14. Whether the boasting of Loyalty and the Church of England may not evince a Factor for Popery as well as saying I am a true Engilsh Man proves one to be none and whether the Loyalty so lately in Vogue and the Zeal for the Church was not more in the Mouths of those very Men who since in France and Ireland went openly to Mass than in any other and whether the Church of England are not now too much awake to be so ridden again 15. Whether England is reduced to so much Exigence as to make Composition for time with the States of Holland for what they expended on our Account and whether this Gentleman is not for lessening our Figure in the World and our Value abroad which is indeed much for our Interest by having a Message sent to the States viz. May it please your High and Mightinesses your poor and needy Brethren of England are not able yet to repay you but if you will have Patience with them they will be very honest and pay you all And further Whether this Gentleman ever look'd over the Act for repaying the Dutch to see how many Years it will be before they will have their Money 16. Whether the Gentleman did not design to leave some unanswerable Query in his Paper by not telling who did so that so we might not examine the particular Case and whether if any Member saw an Act of Parliament evaded and the King cheated as he was most loyally in
