Apollonius Tyaneus; written originally in Greek, and now published
in English: together with philological notes upon each chapter; by
Charles Blount. London. 1680. Folio.

A Popish damnable Plot against our Religion and Liberties, fairly
laid open and discovered in the Breviats of Threescore and Four
Letters and Papers of Intelligence past betwixt the Pope, Duke of
York, Cardinal Norfolk, Cardinal Cibo, Cardinal Barbarina, Nuncio
and Internuncio for the Pope in Italy, France, and Flanders, and the
Lord Arundel, Mr. Coleman, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Coune. And also the said
Mr. Coleman, Albany, Sr. German, Lybourn, Sheldon, Throgmorton, and
several others. As they were drawn up by the Secret Committee of
the House of Commons, for the satisfaction of the House of Lords in
the Bill against the Duke of York and expected Tryals of the Lords.
Now published for the vindication of the House of Commons upon the
said Bill, and for satisfaction of all the faithful subjects of His
Majestie's Kingdom, with several animadversions and remarks made upon
the said letters. London. 1680.
This was a pamphlet containing reflections upon Sir Edward Dering,
a member of the House of Commons; and on November 15, 1680, upon
a debate in that House, it was resolved that "all the reflective
parts upon Sir Edward Dering were false, scandalous and libellous."
Mr. Yarrington, who was summoned to the bar of the House with
others, respecting the printing and publishing of this book, stated
that all the animadversions contained therein were penned by Dr.
Tonge, and that he received the abstract of the several letters
therein mentioned, from a Scrivener in Essex Court, in the Temple.
It was thereupon resolved that Dr. Tonge should have notice to
attend the House the next day, and that Mr. Yarrington and the
others concerned in the publication of the pamphlet, should be
committed to the custody of the Serjeant at Arms for their breach
of privilege; but they were all in a few days discharged from
custody, after receiving the censure of the House.[214] A copy of
this pamphlet is preserved in the British Museum Library. It is in
folio, and contains 31 pages.
