Here, in the beginning of this Paragraph, we have fairly insinuated, the true Reasons _why King ~James~ did not restore_, when upon the _English_ Throne, _the Roman Catholick Religion, and the Clergy, to their Livings, Churches, Jurisdictions, and Privileges_, tho he design’d to do it when it was convenient: The Reason was, _It was inconsistent with the good of King ~James~’s Affairs at that time_. But why was not this done, when King _James_ came to _Ireland_, and was at the Head of an _Irish_ Army? The Reason that induc’d him to delay it, is here plain; _He was afraid it might alienate the affections of the Protestants in ~England~, from giving a helping hand towards his Restoration_. He did not delay it upon the account of the unjustness of the thing it self; it was from another Principle, even that of _Politicks_, lest the Protestants of _England_ should be too much alarm’d with it. Thus King _James_ and his Popish Clergy must have very low thoughts of the Wit and Sense of the Protestants of _England_, to think they could be so easily cheated with such silly baits, and could be hook’d in by so weak Pretences. No sure; they could not be so short-sighted, as not to see through these Cobwebs of _Romish_ Politicks; and they had too many hints of their Designs, not to be ignorant what was really at the bottom of them. But it seems at the giving in of this Memorial, the _Romish_ Clergy was become of another Opinion. They thought it not worth their while to dissemble any longer, but that it was absolutely fit to fall to work without any further Ceremony. They tell King _James_ positively, _That it’s altogether needless to humour the Protestants in concerns of this nature; That all the return they made to his and his Predecessors Kindness and Indulgences to them, was to Invite a Foreign Power to Invade his Throne_. Here we are expresly told, That all the late King’s _Kindness to the Protestants_, was only to _humour them_, that is, to lay them asleep with his Caresses, till it was time to give the Blow, by restoring the _Roman_-Catholick Religion, and the _Roman_-Catholick Clergy to their Churches, Livings, _&c._ But this is not all; These Gentlemen tell us by way of an _Inuendo_, That all the Privileges the Protestants enjoyed by the Laws of the Kingdom, were indeed no more, but _King James’s and his Predecessor’s their manifold Condescentions and Indulgences to them_: So that instead of Laws for the Security of our Religion, we were in the opinion of the _Romish_ Clergy, obliged only to the Condescention of our Kings for our peaceable Enjoyment of it: And as all _Favours_ may be revoked upon the ingratitude of them on whom they are bestowed; so consequently may all the Liberties and Privileges of the Protestants of _England_, be recall’d in the sense of this Memorial, because of the _bad returns they made that King for them_. I know no reason why they here take in King _James_’s _Royal Predecessors_, unless
