"But because it may go down with others who are too apt to take Slander upon trust, and that his Lordship has already been pelted with several Answers to his Speech, I have presum'd to offer the following Considerations, to clear his Lordship from the Suspicion of having vented (in such an august Assembly) those crude and undigested Matters which are set forth in that Speech, and which so highly reflect on his Lordship's self." He has taken the same Method of Irony to attack the said Bishop for his _Speech_ on the _Trial_ of _Sacheverel_, and for a _Sermon_, under this Title, "The Good Old Cause, _or_ Lying in Truth; being a Second Defence of the Lord Bishop of _Sarum_ from a Second Speech, and also the Dissection of a Sermon it is said his Lordship preach'd in the Cathedral Church of _Salisbury_." And this Pamphlet, which is also a continued Banter, begins thus. "No Man has more deserv'd than this good Bishop, and no Man has been more persecuted by various Ways and Means than his Lordship, even to mobbing! But the ugliest and most malicious of all these Arts, is that of putting false Things upon him; to write scandalous, seditious, and senseless Papers, and to affix his Lordship's Name! I was forc'd some Years ago to vindicate his Lordship's Reputation from one of this sort: That Speech had a Bookseller's Name to it of good figure, and look'd something like; but this Speech (said likewise to be spoken in the House of Lords) has no body to own it, and has all the Marks of _Grub_. But the nasty Phiz is nothing to the inside. That discovers the Man; the Heart is false." This same Author has thought fit to attack Mr. _Hoadley_ (since a Bishop) in the way of Banter: His _Best Answer ever was made, and to which no Answer will ever be made_, is by his own Confession a _Farce_; when he says in his _Preface_, "If you ask why I treat this Subject by way of _farce_, and shew a little Merriment sometimes? it was because the Foundation you stand upon is not only _false_ but _ridiculous_, and ought to be treated with the _utmost Contempt_." Again, in his "_Finishing Stroke, in defence of_ his _Rehearsals, Best Answer, and Best of all_," he gives us (_p._ 125.) what he calls, "A Battle-Royal between three Cocks of the Game, _Higden_, _Hoadley_, and a _Hottentot_;" which in the _Contents_ he calls _A Farce_, and to which he joins both a _Prologue_ and _Epilogue_, and divers other Particulars, all taken from the _Play-house_. The Reverend Mr. _Matthias Earbery_ sets up for a great Satirist and Drole upon the swearing and Low-Church Clergy, in numerous Pamphlets of late, more particularly in his "_Serious Admonition to Dr._ Kennet: To which is added, a short but complete Answer to Mr. _Marshal_'s late Treatise called, _A Defence of our Constitution in Church and State_; and a Parallel is drawn between him and Dr. _Kennet_, for the Satisfaction of the unprejudic'd Reader."
