AN ANSWER To a late Treasonable Pamphlet ' ENTITULED Treason in Grain c. For which Pamphlet Edward Fitz-Harris lies Condemned SIR I Received yours wherein you desire to know my Sentiments about that Horrible Infamous Libel composed by Fitz-Harris The thing it self contains nothing but a mass of Trayterous Expressions Horrid Invectives and Lying Detractions to blast His Sacred Majesty insomuch that the repetition of those Villanies within it are enough to infect the ears of any true Loyal hearted Subject And should I handle that Treason●us Paper according to its desert my Letter would have much exceeded the limits I design But I suppose you may easily guess at the Rogn●ry of the Piece by the persons concern'd in it Can any man without Horrour and Amazement see His Majesty calumniated at that rate Was there ever King more merciful and just than ours Was ever Prince more injured than ours His Royal Father inhumanely Murthered and Himself after infinite hazards of His Sacred Person Exiled from His Kingdoms Did ever Prince shew greater Clemency at his Return than he did With what Candour and Integrity did he pardon His greatest Enemies and known Opposers even to the depriving Justice of her due Tribute and hazard of his future Tranquility With what invincible Patience has he born those unworthy detractions which have of late been thrown upon him Can he not with Samuel say Whose Ox or A●● have I taken or whom have I defrauded Whom have I oppressed c And ought not the People to answer His Sacred Majesty as the Jews did the Prophet Thou hast not defrauded us nor oppress'd us nor taken ought from us Nor has he on all occasions demonstrated less Zeal and Fervour for the Protestant Religion than he has Charity and Love for His Subjects With what invincible Fortitude and Piety has he rescued her from Foreign and Domestick Opposers And the Preservation of the Protestant Church in its merited Lustre which was so fatal to his Royal Father has in a great measure contributed to all those Disturbances and Inquietudes he has received since his happy Restauration and has proved the sharpest Thorn in His Majesties Crown And would he let the Protestant Church stoop to the Non-Conformists bent he might not only avoid those unseasonable Clamours which so frequently disturb him but have Money Applause and indeed what not Thus you may see that never any Prince could more justly apply to himself this saying of the Prophet David The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up O Lord. This Libel is in it self so infamous that all Parties disown it The Papists say This Brat was engendred by the Presbyterians these lay it to the Papists door In fine to satisfie your desires I shall in few words tell you the Harlot which is Mother to this Hellish Monster The Libeller begins with the thanks for the Character of a Popish Successor which he pursues with a Distrust of the present Possessor presently after villifying the King for endeavouring to introduce Popery perswading the People to Rebel rather than suffer it From thence he goes back to King James bringing it lineally to our King falsly to create a belief in the People that he is Popishly affected and for the most part imployed none but such in Places of Honour and Trust and then he upbraids him with Correspondence with Rome blaming His Majesty for putting Sh. and E. c. those truly Protestant Lords out of his Council then rails at his Prince for discountenancing the Discoverers of the PLOT From thence his burning zeal carries him to prefer a Mahometan Successor before a Popish aspersing His Majesty for not tolerating Non-Conformists from whence he falls to railing against Church Papists Betraying Bishops Tantivy Abhorrers and Popish Scriblers because they endeavour to confirm the Duke's Title Then after a world of Damnable and Abominable lying Invectives against His Sacred Majesty and his Government which are unfit to be named much less to be written by any Christian he ends his Libel with this Diabolical Expression to all the English to Rebel against his Sovereign Thus Sir by this Epitome of the whole you may easily conjecture to which of the two Parties that Infernal Product belongs For Can there be any thing in Nature more absurd and extravagant more contrary to sence and reason than to imagine that Papists so zealous in promoting their Religion so eager in gaining of Proselytes and so fervent in enlarging the Pale of the Church even to the loss of Lives and Fortunes should so highly resent His Majesties entertaining Popish Servants so strenuously oppose a Popish Successor and so villifie all that favours them as this unparallell'd Pamphlet does Thus I have given you an unpolish'd Description of this Infamous Libel which if it does not answer your expectation I hope you will be so kind as to impute it to my want of time for had I more leisure you should have receiv'd it in a more compact method and fewer words Sir I am Your Servant to command A. C. London Printed by N. T. next the Cross-Keys in Fetter-lane 1681.
