A WORD of ADVICE TO THE AUTHOR OF THAT Scurrilous and Seditious LIBEL ENTITULED No Protestant-Plot THe Author of that Seditious Libel called No Protestant-Plot in it pretended to perswade the World into a belief that he is a man desirous of God's Honour and of the Safety of the King a Zealotour for the Protestant Religion though an Abhorrer of Bishops a Lover of his King and the present Government yet in the same Libel he arraigns the one and rails at the other a Crime not to be thought of without horrour and astonishment but since he cannot be so ignorant and void of reason as to think that any man that ever read the Libel except a Phanatick can believe any such Desire Zeal or Love can be found in or with him that endeavoured so much to corrupt and poyson His Majesty's Subjects It may not therefore seem strange unto him much less offensive if a Protestant that a True and Loyal Protestant do put his helping hand to shew this Phanatical Libeller not only the great malice of his zealous Enterprize but also the way that may lead him to a better light more Love and Loyalty to his King more Reverence and Obedience to his Ministers and Government For as between the Flint and Steel being stricken together Fire doth fly our so Judgments and Wits contending the light of right Knowledge and Loyalty must needs appear such light once appearing Truth Falshood and Hypocrisie either of them is soon perceived Now this Godly Author in his Seditious Libel has taken great pains used no Art but Phanatical no Rhetorick but Puritannical multiplied Allegations without number hunted after Common Fame beyond all Modesty and entred into digressions not caring how or what all not only to make a shew of Learning but hoping thereby to corrupt alienate and prepare the Peoples Hearts for a second Rebellion against our most Gracious King who in his Clemency and great Mercy with all due submission to him was and is too favourable to all Phanatical Libellers as well as Phanatical Preachers and also to disgrace and weaken the Credit of the King 's present Witnesses and to deter others from appearing with and by the most improb●ble most notorious and false occasions hatched and framed by the ungrateful Dr. TO and no Scholar and also to give you your own Phrase by that beggerly Irish Rascal and great Villain E. E. which will be sufficiently proved to his own knowledge and confusion by some of the Greatest and best Quality in England How well by what Art and Puritannical sleight this Irish Tiege begged his Bread since his coming into England I need not inform the Libeller nor his Party who very well know it to their Cost as well as before among other Beggers in Paris at the Back-doors of the Jesuits Colledges and Nunneries with his Earthen Pipkin begging for a little sup and some few Scraps for a Poor Scholar and a Gentleman who was banished his Countrey for his Religion The Libeller whether it was out of disrespect to these two notorious False Accusers O. and E. E. or Ignorance in himself I know not throughout his whole Libel made use of Bilingsgate Language only a Language I remember not that any other Writer except Phanaticks and such like ungodly people ever used before In this Zealous and Phanatical Enterprize the Libeller seems to take great pleasure of it to make great Vaunts by it to win the Credit and Perswasion not only of the E. of S. but of all men I mean all Disloyal men On the contrary I say it 's sufficient alone if truly and impartially considered and commented upon not only to discredit his Person but confound his Party and tell the World they would willingly be at the old Game of Forty and Forty One again What can then remain but that this Libeller is not to be credited nor his Factious Party to be tollerated and why Because the Execrable and Infamous memory of the Usurpation Tyranny Barbarity of the Phanatical Party or If you will of our late Protestant Dissenters is daily renewed in one Libel or other by our present Protestant Dissenters besides what the Libel No Protestant Plot contains though it self is sufficient to strike the Reader with Indignation and horrour of the whole Sect it being stuffed with Lyes Threatenings and incongruous false Notions and Stories He therefore must needs be a man of very slender observation and experience in the World who is not astonished as well as surprized and startled at the unparallell'd Impudence and grand Villany of this Libeller and his whole Party for there scarce passes a day without a Libel against either King Church or Government which evidently shews their wicked Designs and confirms all men of Piety and Loyalty that this Libeller and his Party make it their only business to raise a partition between the King and his People and also to deprive them of their chiefest Comfort and Earthly Felicity The gracious Favour and good Opinion of their King and so create unto all Loyal People a Hell upon Earth and bring the whole Kingdom a second time into a Confusion under the colour of Religion Fears of Popery and Arbitrary Government Were not these the pretended Complaints and Grievances of the old time Yes and this day also We may then justly and without blame suspect these our present Phanaticks who like Samson's Foxes are tied together by the Tail of Sedition aim at no less Villany and Destruction than their Predecessors have acted to their eternal shame and reproach as well as to their Followers who like undermining Engineers pretend to joyn with the Church of England against Popery But this spetious and Phanatical Pretension which proceeds only from a Fermentation of the old Leaven my Friends will not take with any that is conversant with History where your common Doctrine Principles and Practice are demonstrated to be as pernicious if not far more destructive to Monarchical Government than the most desperate Principles of the Papists I may justly say to the Libeller and his Party what the Prophet said Accursed be them that call Evil Good and Good Evil Isa 5. who call Truth Vntruth and perswade Vntruth for Truth And also take him to be one of them which the Apostle saith shall come in the latter days uttering Lyes in Hypocrisie 1 Tim. 4. For what greater Hypocrisie is there then to charge Untruths and to impugn the Truth with the colour of Truth the only thing that promoted and caused the last Rebellion as the Libeller doth He is then certainly one of them whom the Prophet describeth saying We have put our Confidence in Lying and Lyes have been our safe-guard This saying of the holy Prophet may also well be attributed to a certain Doctor of Physick a Relation as I suppose of the Libeller at least in Religion and in Accusing alike who lately appeared in publick with an intimate Friend of his now and there gave a Pill which he
