_True._ You have now the whole matter before you; the _Epistle_, ye see, justifies it self: And then for the _Narrative_, I dare undertake he shall yield up the Cause, if you can but produce any _One Material Point_, which he hath either _Falsify'd_, _Palliated_, or _Omitted_, in the whole _Proceeding_. But to be plain with you, _Citt_, One of the _Authours_ of _your Preface_ is a _Common setter_, _a Forger of Hands_, _a little spy_ upon the _Swan_ in _Fishstreet_; a _Hackny Sollicitor_ against both _Church_ and _State_: You know this to be true _Citt_; and that I do not speak upon Guess; so that _Calumny_, and _False Witnessing_ is the best part of that _Authours Trade_. And then the _pretended History_ is a direct _Arraignment_ of the _Government_. He takes up the _King_ and _Council_, _Pag._ 381. reflects upon the _Judges_ in the very _Contents_, and elsewhere; he descants upon the _Duke of York_ in opposition to the express sense and declaration of the _Bench_, _Pag._ 145. and has the confidence yet to Dedicate this _Gally-mawfry_ of audacious _slanders_ to _the Two Houses of Parliament_. There is little more in the whole, then what has been eaten and spew'd up again Thirty times over: and the intire work is only a _Medly_ of _Rags_, and _Solacisms_, pick'd up out of _Rubbish_, and most suitably put together. _Citt._ You may take his part as ye please, But there's a Famous _Lecturer_ charg'd him Publiquely for _Popery_, in his _Answer_ to the _Appeal_; and for falling upon Dr. _Lloyd_. _L'Estrange_ charg'd as a Papist, by a Certain Lecturer. _True._ He did so; but at the same time that _Lecturer_ found no fault with the _Appeal it self_; and the best on't is, his _Tongue's_ no more a slander then his _Pen_: And whoever reads what he has written concerning the _Late King_, and the _Episcopal Church_, will think never the worse of _L'Estrange_ for what he says. Now for the _Reverend Dean of Bangor_, I dare say he never _spake_, or _thought_ of him, but with _Veneration_. Let me see the book. The Ground of his Accusation. Look, ye here, 'tis _pag._ 18. in _L'Estrange's Impression_, and 'tis _pag._ 15. in _this_; and here's the Point [_Their Loyalty and Good service paid to the King_ (says the _Appealer_ speaking of the Papists) _was meerly in their own Defence_.] Now see _L'Estrange's Reply_ upon it, _If it lies_ (says he) _as a_ Reproach _upon them that they did then not serve the King out of_ Loyalty; _that which they_ did, _was yet better then_ not serving _him_ at all; _and better in a Higher degree_ still, _then_ Fighting against _him_. And a little after. _It is worth the Observation, that not a man drew his Sword in the opposite Cause who was not a_ Known Separatist; _and that on the Other side, not one_ Schismatick _ever struck stroke in the_ Kings Quarrell.
