THE Protestant Mask Taken off from the Jesuited Englishman BEING AN ANSWER To a Book Entituled GREAT-BRITAIN's Just Complaint Imprimatur Decemb. 12. 1692. EDMUND BOHUN LONDON Printed by William Wilde for Robert Clavel at the Peacock at the West-end of St. Paul's 1692 3. THE Protestant Mask Taken off from the Jesuited English-man OR c. THere are no sort of Men who can so dexterously put on all Shapes as the refined Followers of Ignatius and none so apt to be imposed upon at this time by these Masqueraders as King James's Protestant Friends The last Revolution gave as great a Blow to Popery as another would do to the Reformed Religion so that they who wish well to the Roman and ill to the English Church must rail at the past Revolution and advise us to another they must cover the late King 's real Faults and brand the present with feigned Crimes they must strain their Wits to represent King James as one who never did any Evil and King William as if he never did any Good This with a few Harangues of Loyalty and some shew of Concern for the Protestant Religion the disguised Author hopes will suffice to make those Church-of England-men who are not satisfied with the Present Government venture into Arms to restore King James wherein should they prosper it can serve the Interest of none but Papists and if they be unfortunate it must end in the Ruine of the deluded Vndertakers In pure Charity to them therefore and tender Compassion to my Country I will examine the late Pamphlet stiled Great Britain's Just Complaint c. and briefly shew the Sophistry and Weakness of his Arguments the Falshood of his pretented History and the Malice as well as Danger of his Design To which purpose I must pass by his Flowers of Rhetorick his innumerable and needless Repetitions and Tautologies which make up one half of the Book and reply only to that which seems material He stumbles on a Contradiction very ominously at his first Step Page 1. affirming that our last Revolution never had a Parallel in antient or modern History yet immediately grants there are Instances in every Country of Subjects who have been forced by Arms to defend their Religion and Liberties against such violent Acts of their Princes as visibly endangered the Frame of the Government and that many Princes have lost their Crowns by their Cruelty and being obstinately deaf to their Subjects Petitions and Complaints Which Instances are all Parallels to our Revolution excepting only that most of them have been more bloody and violent upon less Occasions and in few places where a free People were so long and highly provoked did the Criminals come off so easily The next Exploit of this bold Writer is to arraign the whole Nation Page 2. and the wisest Men in it for Fools and Mad-men as being imposed on by the Prince of Orange's Ambition and refusing all Offers of Accommodation and Expedients for Redress Whereas our greatest Statesmen did examine these Offers and Expedients and in the midst of their Deliberations the late King went away privately for France and so broke off the Treaty With equal Truth and Modesty he affirms that all the Reasons of this Revolution are baffled and the Actors in it ashamed of the Grounds they went upon Yet still there remain it seems two famous Pamphlets which have put him to all his shifts to answer one is called The Pretences of the French Invasion Examined the other A Letter to a Friend concerning the French Invasion And not to take notice of his blind Guesses at and rude Censures of the Authors and the Papers themselves we will try how well he hath confuted them After all the Reproaches of Folly and Fallacy cast upon the first Author Page 3. he grants the Points he hath treated upon are very weighty and our profound Politician humbly follows the Steps of his contemptible Adversary And to prepare Men to revolt from this Government and join with a French Invasion he undertakes to shew they ought to venture their Necks for another Revolution 1. To repair the Injury done to King James 2. To settle the Government upon its old Basts 3. To deliver our selves from the present Sufferings we lie under 4. To secure the Protestant Religion 1. To make out the Injury done to King James he takes leave of the Papers he was answering and runs back near 20 Years to make up a most ridiculous and improbable Invective against the Prince of Orange hoping to hide the just real and honourable Causes of his Descent which were his Love to us and to our Religion and Laws then in extreme Danger by K. James's Administration by a false and groundless Charge of his ambitious aiming at our Crown before he could well write Man and by accusing him of all the Troubles of K. Charles the 2d's Reign which he aggravates by that Uncle's Tenderness for him Which last Insinuation shews the Truth of the rest for Sir W. Temple who best knew observes that K. Charles the 2d was so deep in the Interests of France that he shamefully neglected his brave Nephew when his Life and the Safety of Christendom lay at stake But why doth this nameless Libeller dig so deep for hidden Causes of the Troubles of that Reign Page 4. The Growth of Arbitrary Power and Popery the Duke's declaring himself Papist the Breach of the Triple League the Dutch War the Intrigues with France and the Popish Plot were open and known Causes of these Troubles And a few of them were sufficient to make a People so tender of their Liberties and Religion as the English are to be uneasy Besides how came it to pass that K. Charles who was so very sagacious never discovered this but to the great Satisfaction not of his People but of his own Mind as he declared in Parliament married this Prince to his Niece who was then generally supposed likely to succeed to the English Crown And to shew this Match was no Force upon that King the Noble Peer who advised the Match was most dear to his then Master and had a better Post in his Reign than that he now enjoys The Duke perhaps might be averse to this Match as being likely to spoil his Designs of converting us which would be difficult in the prospect of a Protestant Heir The Bill of Exclusion and the refusing K. Charles's Concessions are next imputed to the P. of O. and his Friends but very falsly for the Popish Plot gave the pretence to that Bill and the Zealots for it inclined to set up Monmouth or a Commonwealth As to the Concessions of a Fence against a Popish Successor if the P. of O. really had any Friends in that Parliament and any such Prospect as is pretended there would not have been a fairer Opportunity to put him then into the greatest Trust and Power but the Truth is the Duke's Creatures in the House who knew he had
them to expect any thing or rely on any Promises I shall therefore only beg of the worthy Gentlemen concerned to read the Paper cited and compare those solid Reasons with this Man 's smooth Sophistry and then shall leave the obstinate that Cardinal's Benediction Si vult Populus decipi decipiatur The next Caution is as prudent as the former was charitable Pag. 53. viz. That we must beware least another Revolution should set up the Prerogative higher than is consistent with the Subject's Liberties For 't is natural for all Men especially the English to run from one extream to another and K. James's Inclination and Intetest will lead him to it The Papists will work upon his Fears and plead it is necessary and many Protestants will joyn with them either to make their Peace or to curry favour And if Monmouth's Invasion which was so easily quashed and soon over gave colour to raise so great a standing Army this last Revolution may be easily improved into keeping up a greater Force and lodging more power in the King He proceeds to answr some Questions which that Author asks and first owns he thinks not himself bound in Conscience to fight for Popery against the Protestant Faith but will not allow fighting for the Restauration of K. James can be called by that name I answer by an old Logical Maxim Causa Causae est Causa causati He that fights to put a Prince into Power that will certainly use that Power to promote Popery and suppress the Protestant Religion and fights to eject another Prince who hath rescued us from extream Danger Popery and establish the Protestant Faith He fights for the former and against the latter Religion As to his repeated Phrase of King James his desire to return upon a Protestant Foot I have reason to believe he doth not wish to be so restored for then he must leave most of his Priests behind him and deliver up his Son to be brought up a Protestant and give Securities for it and that he will by no means like Yet if he can find a Popish Nation so tame as to have let in a Protestant Head without such Conditions upon a Popish Foot we may promise him to follow the Example We can shew him a Country that obliged a Popish Head to quit her Crown and march off upon a Protestant Foot viz. Sweden And can instance in France where Hen. IV. King James's Grandfather so long as he was a Protestant was kept out by Papists with Force and Arms and could not be admitted quietly till he declared himself of the Roman Church And no People of any Religion if they can help it will set a King up over them who is an Enemy to their established Faith Wherefore till K. James sincerely becomes of the English Religion tho' it should be his Interest and Inclination to return it will not be ours He is also very free to declare he will not fight for his Prince against the Laws Page 54. but these are only words He will fight for a King who endeavoured to alter the whole Frame of our Government who challenged and exercised a Power to vacate and suspend what Laws he pleased that resolves to be above and without Law and will endure no Judge who shall not force the Laws already made to bow to his Will No Parliament that will not promise before-hand to Make and Repeal what Laws he pleases Now if this be not fighting for a Prince against the Laws I know not what is As to his Insinuation That King William hath broken and intends to destroy our Laws It is as groundless as 't is malitious he hath done nothing but by Advice of his Convention Parliaments and Judges and hath very sparingly exercised his Prerogative even in this time of War when Necessity sometimes required it so that to fight against him is really to fight against the Maintainer and Defender of our Liberties and Laws and consequently of our Religion whereof these Laws are the best Fence And therefore as he well hints the French King who resolv'd to change his Subjects Faith first made them Slaves that so he might make them Papists and he who copied out that Pattern in England began with our Laws and pulled up all the Fences and his next Work would have been to suppress our Religion which if it be dear to us we must never expose it again to one that used such Methods but stick to him who can never design to make us Papists and therefore can never desire or need to make us Slaves But our Author thinks Pag. 55. whatever Cause Protestants have they are the only People of the World who must not enter into a Religious War no not to defend themselves from Popish Aggressors As if their Religion alone stripped them of that universal natural Right of Self-Defence and let loose all Mankind upon them He hath no Remarks upon the Holy Guisian League none upon his dear Monsieur's League with Infidells 'T is only Wicked in the Germans of old and us now to resolve to defend our Countries from Popish Aggressors I am sure the Germans League was so necessary and so just that a Popish French King assisted them in it and the Protestants were not all over-run by it but are still very numerous and potent there And when Denmark was in Danger King Charles the first thought it pious and lawfull to assist them and Archbishop Laud drew up a Declaration to justifie and promote it as our Author may see in the Answer to Mr. Ashton's Papers pag. 17. We grant it is no Chimera that the Jesuites have in all times solicited the Catholick Princes to unite for the Extirpation of Protestants and therefore we cannot be safe under a King conducted by their Councils But the Protestants never did combine to extirminate Popery in general and we do not fear that all Catholick Princes most of them disobliged by K. James should unite to be reveng'd upon us for not stopping our late King when he resolved to leave us But withall we observe how this deceitful Writer blows both hot and cold pag. 50th He would fright us with the Pope's being in Confederacy with King William and with some solemn and sacred Engagements made to the Holy Chair And now he threatens us with an Army of Catholick Princes and the Pope in the Head of them to destroy us and all the Protestants of Europe He may well call us Fools and Madmen in the next Column For if he did not think us so he would not hope to work on us with such incoherent improbabilities He proceeds to deny that the Liberties of Europe are concern'd in the Issue of this War with France because divers Princes of Europe are in perfect Peace with that Crown I reply first they are all far distant from this Tyrant and so do not yet feel the Effects of his Cruelty and Injustice and secondly they only stand Neuter there being not
King's Laurels as our Author justly says are drench'd in the Tears of his Subjects for he hath ruined the Liberty and Property of his People to maintain an Army for robbing burning and destroying all about him And t is not our King who only defends the Oppressed but he that makes all Christendom pay so dear for safety and Protection In Ireland our victorious Prince hath utterly routed not the Irish only but great numbers of well disciplined and armed French and in little more than two years intirely conquered that large Country And that which Spain yet retains in Flanders is principally owing to K. William's Conduct and to the Bravery of his Army who hath at the same instant dared the French by Land and given them such a Blow at Sea as they will not recover of many years A Victory that eclipses the little Advantages that their Fleet had at Beachy and hath done us more good and them more damage than the winning a Land Battle could have done nor will the taking of Namur pay for their loss of so many Capital Ships so necessary for their Defence by Sea which is their weak side But it is not enough to satiate our Author's spite to trample on the glorious Reputation of our King he reviles all Christian Princes that are in the Confederacy and he will not allow it to be the Vsurpation of France that ingages them against their Common Oppressor but imputes it to their particular interests Tho' any unbyassed Man any but a Loyalist or a Jacobite would see it must be universal Injustice and horrid Barbarities committed by the French on every side that forces the most zealous Princes of the Roman Communion to joyn against a King pretending to the same Religion and enter into League with those they count Hereticks to save their several Countries out of the Hand of a devouring Power Yea the best Pope that Rome hath had for many years was in the Confederacy not to secure our Rights and Religion as this Writer weakly suggests but to defend his own Privileges against a Prince that persecuted the Pope and the Protestants both at once and thereby shewed he had no Religion at all Pag. 38. Nor is it any wonder that the Confederates loved and trusted the Prince of Orange more than King James for he had always been true to the Interest of Europe and gloriously opposed the French Incroachments while the late King abetted the Monsieur in oppressing his own Subjects and robbing all his Neighbours and had as little regard to the safety of Christendom as to the welfare of England in hopes by this infamous Obsequiousness to be assisted in his pious design of Enslaving and Dragooning his own People and on this desirable Work he lavished out all those Treasures he had laid up while he was Duke of York which so generally disgusted his Subjects that no Parliament of English Protestants would ever have given him any more So that he forfeited his Credit and Interest every where but in France and therefore could never be invited into this Confederacy into which not Ambition but the love of Justice and his pity to Oppressed Nations drew this brave Prince who in the former part of this Pamphlet is represented to be so cunning as to cajole his Vncle make a meer Tool of his Father-in-Law and to out wit all the Priests and Jesuits Yet now this same King William is so extream silly that he would make us believe all the Confederates make a Fool of him and tho' he owns he knows nothing of the private Agreements King William hath made with the Confederates yet he confidently pronounces We are to have all the Loss and they all the Gain by this League and upon this Subject he rails blindfold till he be out of Breath but all that have Eyes in their Heads will see through this winking Malice and sooner believe that he is a shameless Calumniator than that all the Confederate Princes are Knaves and King William a meer Stepping stone to their Designs as this modest Gentleman upon bare Conjecture represents them With the like random Guesses Pag. 39. he goes on to banter us with idle Suggestions That we are like to have no Advantage by a Successful War in this Confederacy and dreadful Losses if it prove unfortunate in the Issue To which I shall only reply That King William is as eminent for his Prudence as for his Valour and the Nation is convinced they may trust him with making War and Peace for them since his Interest and theirs are one and the same The Dutch and the House of Austria do not aim at or intend the Destruction of France as the French King doth at theirs but only at the humbling and reducing him to his just Bounds and to secure themselves against his Ravages and Vsurpations So that he is ridiculous in talking of the Confederates falling out who shall have the Power at Sea and who the Provinces at Land when that Great Empire falls to be divided amongst them The Confederates glory in the Justice of their Cause which is to recover the late Encroachments from France and defend their present Possessions from Burning and Destruction and they hope the Righteous God will make their Cause as prosperous as it is Just and Necessary and if it prove so every one of the Confederates will be content with his Share in the Common Safety But if for our Sins it should prove Unfortunate we are as likely and as able under the Conduct of our Wise and Valiant King to defend and secure our selves as any Nation or Country in this Confederacy Nor will his Eloquence in setting off the Miseries of our falling into the French Mercy have any other Effect upon this brave Nation than to make them more obstinate in fighting against and more wary in treating with so bloody and treacherous a Foe But the Perfection of his Politicks Pag. 40. is shewed in his learned Demonstration That all Christian Princes wish the dethroning of King William and the restoring of K. James imitating Seneca's Tool who being blind fansied all the House was dark That France will endeavour both as well by Force as Treadhery that Unchristian King hath sufficiently shewed to put us upon our Guard But the House of Austria cannot have a more Faithful and Powerful Ally on the English Throne than King William who will certainly assist them to bring King Lewis to Reason and be their best Guarrantee when he is reduced to a Just Peace Whereas K. James's former Carriage hath convinced them That if he had Power it would always be at the French King's Service Right or Wrong Again if the Dutch as he pretends hated King William they must keep him on the Throne to prevent his return among them But their Affection and intire Confidence in him is apparent by the great Command they now give him which shews they believe the greater his Power is the safer are their Liberties
So that we shall have Cham's Fate to be Servant of Servants and if K. Lewis help to make us so he will account these three Crowns a Purchace and no Present But considering how uneasy English Protestants must be under a double Slavery the only way to tame them must be a severe Persecution to which if Interest did not lead the French King Ambition would For he Dragooned his own Subjects against his Interest purely out of Vain-Glory and to shew his Will was absolute and uncontroulable and that neither Conscience nor the Fear of God should exempt any Man from Obedience to it besides we saw by K. James his Elight that he considers not the Nation 's safety when he thinks himself in Danger and when he hath his trusty Irish and French Guards about him 't is but pretending our Liberties and Religion are inconsistent with his Security and then Popery and Slavery must be advanced to keep him in the Throne We may take the Author's Word for K. James's Concessions to the Scotch Plotters Pag. 50. since he hath no doubt been in all Plots since the Revolution but suppose they have his Word his Hand and Seal for these Favours we know he will promise any thing in his Distress but were he restored and in full Power it would be pleaded he was under a Force when he made these promises and so not obliged to perform them Moreover I would ask why he did not offer such Acts of Grace here while he had Power to call a Parliament to confirm them The only reason must be that if his Concessions had passed into Laws and other Securities had been given he could never have ruined the Protestant and set up his own Religion Nor would he be so free to grant now if he did not know how to be absolved from fulfilling those Grants His Pre-Engagements to the Pope are well known we have his Letters to the Holy Father and hear of the Arguments used at Rome for his Holinesses's Aid which are his losing three Kingdoms for his Zeal to reduce us to the Catholick Faith and his Resolution upon his Restauration to promote the same pious VVork Oh! but King VVilliam he suggests hath made more Engagements to the Holy-Chair to gain the Pope to favour his Advancement to the Throne Very Comical King VVilliam's Advancement to the Throne was neither foreseen by the Pope nor any Catholick Prince nor by himself Some of them might possibly know of his Descent and favour it as it might tend to weaken their common Enemy the French King and his only considerable Allie but none of them foresaw that K. James would desert and therefore the Liberty the Papists enjoy here is owing to King William's good Nature and Tenderness not to any Promises he made beforehand to any of the Confederates His next Attack is upon Dr. King's Book of the State of the Protestants in Ireland Pag. 51. which proves that K. James expressed his Hatred of Protestants and his Bigotry for Popery there since the Revolution A Book writ with that known Truth and Firmness of Reason that every Page of it is Demonstration which hath been often threatned with an Answer but the long Silence of the party shews guilt and despair As for this Author's Falshoods and Calumnies I refer the Reader to that convincing Tract which not only confutes all our Adversary's sham Stories of these Irish Affairs but exposes his Impudence in venturing his Credit by telling such Improbabilities The Truth in short is that Tyrconnel had disarmed all the Protestants before K. James came over and left them naked to the Outrages of the bloody Rapperees who plundered whole Towns and killed many and upon Complaint no Protestant could have Redress K. James would not employ nor trust any of them their causes in all Courts still went against them the Soldiers oppressed them the meanest Papists insulted over them their Lands were unjustly taken from them by that tyrannical Law of Repealing Settlements and this by K. James's own Sollicitation who struggled with his Bishops and modest Judges to carry it and after he was duly informed of the Cruelty and Injustice of it still pressed it and at last got it passed to the ruine of Thousand Protestant Families most of which had purchased and paid for these Estates Those who stay'd in Ireland were oppressed imprisoned and used barbarously Those who fled for safety or for Bread were attainted of High Treason by an Act that never had a Precedent in any Age since the Roman Proscriptions Many thousands of all Qualities and Ages and of both Sexes were Condemned without Citation or any sort of Evidence brought against them And whereas to give some Colour to so Barbarous a proceeding they had a day assigned them to come in after which the Attainder was to take place yet that none of them might be the better for the Orders were given and care was taken that no Man should come by the sight of it And every where Protestant Churches were taken from them by Force and given to Popish Priests by the Order or Connivance of the late King Yet all his was done in those parts of Ireland where the Protestants were very peaceable under him And now let the World judge whether these undeniable Matters of Fact be not a sufficient Cure for any English Protestants wishing to see him restored to a Power to do the like Mischiess here His Temper and Principles we see are the same they were in the height of his Attempts on our Religion and Liberty and if we put him into the same Circumstances we should soon feel the Effects of our Folly and his Revenge We agree with him that King Charles the first was ill treated to the great Scandal of that part of the Nation who were his Enemies Pag. 52. but when his Son saw how dire Effects a few stretches of the Prerogative and some groundless Fears of Popery had produced methinks he should not in the same Age have set up a more illegal High-Commission-Court nor openly declared himself a Romanist and against Law and Reason given all the best Places in England to those of that Perswasion Nor should he have Imprisoned or Fined Men contrary to Law nor committed more Outrages by his Army in times of Peace than have ever since been committed by a more numerous Army in time of War He therefore not King William is most concerned in that unhappy Precedent The kind Arguments which one of his Adversaries urged to convince the Non-swearing Protestants have an equal share of Logick and Truth for which cause this Author rather evades than answers them he brings in over again the Grants to the Scotch Plotters which were shewed before to be insignificant and at last passes his Word for his Master That he will be very kind to them at his Return and perswades them to believe all things and doubt nothing tho' Experience and Reason both shew there is no ground for
is delivered from Popery and Slavery and remains in Peace while the War is carried into another Country And Ireland is rescued out of the Claws of French-men Tories and Rapparees Our Government is settled in Church and State and all his Endeavours to aggravate the Price of these inestimable Blessings turns upon himself For when we have paid as he saith as much as we are able to bring things to a Settlement it cannot be expected we can or ought to pay more to unsettle us again A tyred Horse can endure no Addition to his Load If we can spare but a little more to maintain our Defender I hope we shall not find Money to pay the late King's Debts to the French contracted by his own Wilfulness nor shall we willingly pay Money to hire Executioners to destroy us If the Payments will not draw the Nation to Mutiny Page 59. he hopes the ill Success of our Arms will and to make this Falshood pass he spits all his Venome at our brave King on whom as on the Darling of Heaven and Delight of Mankind either Victory or at least Honour and Safety always attends It hath been observed indeed of K. J. that he ever brings ill Fortune to the side he takes and never won a Battel in his Life But for this mercernary French Pen to turn this Character on King William who hath so often delivered oppressed Nations and conquered their Oppressours or reduced them to Reason is the height of Impudence His Victories in England Ireland and Flanders will be writ in the Leaves of Fame when the Great Monsieur will only be remembred for his Cowardice and Treachery K. William's reducing a whole Kingdom last year and beating the French Fleet this Summer were great Actions and his daring their whole Army by Land shews that if through others slackness the French have the Advantage yet he hath entirely the Honour of this Campaign wherein K. Lewis hath had such Experience of our King's Valour and Conduct as will give him Reason by an honourable Peace to endeavour to make us his Friends And if we get no more for all our Charge but Security and Quiet while the War endures and a profitable Peace at the End of it we need not murmur or if we do it should be against that Common Enemy who disturbs all that are within his Reach He owns a Debt to the French King Page 5◠but supposes his tender Regard to his Honour and Glory will make him forgive it and not require Payment as the Dutch have done But first as to the Monsieur if he believe Honour to be the only Reward of Vertue he hath taken the worst Measures in the World to get true Glory having not got one Inch of Ground nor a single Town by true Valour and Bravery nor omitted any thing tho' never so mean or wicked which he thought tended to set up his only God his Interest and will Honour keep such a Prince from demanding Payments for his Men and Money his Ships and Ammunition lent to serve our late King he that will burn a whole Country to Ashes and turn 500 Families a begging in a day or two only for not paying him Contributions when they owe him nothing nor cannot raise it will his Generosity allow England to dye in his Debt Secondly Secondly The Dutch desire no more than that Hire was promised them for their Men and Ships and they deserve it for helping us now in our extream Danger as we once before did assist them when they beat out Slavery and Persecution Payments of this kind are tollerable but to repay the French King for fighting against us is so gross a Folly that English-men cannot be guilty of it As to Religion it is the Glory of our Nation that we are so tender of it so zealous and so careful to preserve it The only Scandal to our Church being this that so many Pretenders to it are ready to joyn with Papists to destroy it But these Gentlemen are but a small Number the greatest part of the Nation are not so easily wheedled or threatned out of their Religion their Liberties their Estates and Lives they know their Foes from their Friends and understand when they are well so that this plausible Writer with all his Rhetorick will not be able to spread the Poyson of his Sedition so far as his Hopes flatters him To conclude Pag. 61. Finding his Arguments will not make K. William and his People fall out and part to make room for his dear Master he falls to Praying and Flattering desiring God to encline our King's Heart to take his Counsel who mortally hates him shamefully slanders him and every where represents him as the worst of Humane Race and after this with a smooth Hypocrisie even humbly desires him freely to give up that Crown which he hath been urging the Nation to take from him But where such Folly is cried up as Heroick King William's Eyes are open enough to see the dull and obvious Cheat And One would imagine he durst not offer such palpable Shams to so Great and Wise a Prince But 't is plain he hath so accustomed himself to Falshood and Sophistry that he can blush at nothing and begins to dream that our present King is such a Creature as he represents King James to be One that was advised by his mortal Enemies to the ready way to ruine Himself and all his Friends But after all his elaborate Harangues he must e'en be content to see King William despise his Railing and his Flattery the Nation detest his seditious Counsel and God cast out his foolish Prayer who hath most graciously preserved our King and our Countrey hitherto and till he do utterly abandon us and deprive us of Grace yea of Common Sence we cannot be so weak as to promote this fatal Restauration which he so vehemently recommends FINIS A Catalogue of some Books lately Printed for Robert Clavel at the Peacock in St. Paul's Church-Yard ☞ THE State of the Protestants of Ireland under the late King James's Government in which their Carriage towards him is justified and the absolute Necessity of their endeavouring to be freed from his Government and of submitting to Their present Majesties is demonstrated The Fourth Edition with Additions Bede Venerabili Opera quaedam Theologica nunc primum edita necnon Historica ante à semel edita accesserunt Egberti Archiepiscopi Eborocensis Dialogus de Ecclesiastica Institutione Aldhelmi Episcopi Scireburnensis Liber de Virginitate ex codicae antiquissimo emendatus A Defence of Pluralities or holding Two Benifices with Cure of Souls as now practised in the Church of England L.
