_True._ Yes, in several of them _I_ do; and the main reason is This. There's no man under _Five and Fifty_, at Least, that is able to give any Account, of the _Designe_, and _Effects_ of this way of Petitioning in _Forty_ and _Forty One_, but by _Hear-say_: so that This Nation proceeds mostly upon the _Maxims_, and _Politiques_, which That _Republican_ Humour deliver'd over to us: But yet let the _Thing_, or the _Manner_ of it be as it will, Those that _disarm'd_, and _turn'd back_ the _Kentish Petitioners_ at _London-bridg_. Those that _Wounded_, and _Murther'd_ the _Surry-Petitioneres_ in the _Palace Yard_, only for desiring a _Peace_, and in order to the _Preservation_ of his _late Majesty_: _Those People_ methinks, that were so Outrageous _Against Those Petitions_ (and Several others of the same kind) should not have the Face now to be so _Violent, for This_. And whoever examines the _present Roll_, will find the _Old Republicans_ to be the _Ring-leaders_. Bum. Really, _Citt_, the man speaks Reason. The mean ways of promoting their Designs. _True._ Consider then the _Mean ways_ ye have of advancing your Pretensions, by _Falshoods_, and _Scandals_, to disappoint Honest men of _Elections_; The use ye make of the most _Servile Instruments_, to promote your Ends; your _fawning Methods_ of _Popularity_ toward the _Rabble_; your ways of undermining the _Government_ of the _City_, as well as of the _Nation_; your worse then _Jesuitical Evasions_ in matter of _Conscience_; your _Non-sensical Salvo's_, and _Expositions_ of _Christian Liberty_; your putting out the _Church of Englands Colours_, and calling your selves _Protestants_, when you are effectually no better then _Algerines_, and _Pyrating_ even upon _Christianity it self_; your Beating of the wood, in the History of our most _Seditious Times_, to start _Presidents_ and _Records_ in favour of your own Disloyal Purposes. The _Pharisaical_ Distinguishing of your selves from the _Profane_ (as you are pleas'd to stile all others,) even in your _Dresse, Tone, Language_, &c. Your Uncharitable _Bitternesse of Spirit_; your _lying in wait_ for _Blood_; and laying of _Snares_ for the _Unwary_ and the _Innocent_; and still vouching an _Inspiration_ for all your _Wickednesse_; your gathering of _all Winds_ toward the raising of a _Storm_; Your _Unity_ in _Opposition_, and in _nothing Else_: your _Clamours_, and _Invectives_ against _Priests_, and _Jesuits_, when it is the Church of _England_ yet, that feels the _Last effect_ of your _Sacrilegious Rage_. 'Tis not so much the _Officers_ of the Church, and State, that are _Popishly Affected_, but the _Offices_ Themselves; and Those in the first place (as you chuse your _Sins_ too) that are most _Beneficiall_. To say nothing of your wild _Impostures_ upon the _Multitude_.----
