12 dimal in its Conequences, as carried all the Marks of that Hell, where alone uch a Monter could be engendred. A notable Argument of Their Charity to Mens Souls, who found out this new Fire for purging them! A Holy Zeal indeed, for King, Prince, Clergy, Nobility, and the whole People Repreentative (all pretended to be in a State of Damnation) to be blown away into Eternity at once, without one Moment's Leiure for Repentance!

I would not by any means, nor did our then injured Sovereign, undertake to charge all of that Peruaion with a part in, or even Approbation of, this unparalell'd Villany. Many, we charitably hope, are not o entirely at the Devotion of their intrigueing-Cauits, as by Their Sophitry to be argued out of the firt and: brightet Maxims of Morality and common Honety.

A Labour, which many concurrent Intimations from Abroad, but epecially the Circumtances of the Dicovery, the hardned Gloryings of Some, and the unextorted Confeions of Other Accomplices, did quickly then, and always ought to render unfuccesful. Beaten from this Evaion, their Next was then to lament it. But what did they lament? The Wickednes, or the Diappointment of this Conpiracy? For they have left us under jut Sufpene. Sufpene hall I ay? Or rather that they have ufficiently explain'd themelves, by the very
