Let us enter into ourfelves then let us confider with Attention, and even but a Grain of Common Senfe, whether God will accept our yearly Tears for the Murder of his Anointed, and our Prayers to avert the dreadful Punishment due to the Guilt of it, when at the fame time we have fo magnificently rewarded the Murderers, and fo impolitickly fet an Example to encourage Treafon, Rebellion and Ufurpation for the future. For my Part, I will not venture to determine the Point, but humbly leave it to the Deliberation of our Qrthodox Divines, who this Day are proftrating themfelves before the Throne of the Divine Mercy to obtain a Remiflion of our National Sin in fpilling the Blood of our King. What fuperlative Villains they were in whofe Hands we left the Irish forfeited Eftates, which, by the bye, Sir, were but a third Part of the whole Kingdom. will appear in full Length from the Lord Clarendon's History. After having inform'd us of the Chriftian, the Heroic Behaviour of the Lord Capel, whom thofe very Profligates brought to the Scaffold and beheaded there, and finish'd his excellent Character of that illuftrious and gallant Patriot, his Lordfhip goes on in thefe memorable Words: So ended the Year One < Thousand Six Hundred Forty Eight, a Year of Reproach and Infamy above all Years which had pafs'd before it; a Year of the higheft Diffimulation and Hypocrify, of the deepest Villainy and most bloody Treafons that any Nation was ever curs'd with or under; a Year in which the Memory of all the Tranfactions ought to be razed out of all Records, left, by the Succefs of it, Atheism, Infidelity and Rebellion fhould be propagated in the World.'

FOG's Journal, Feb. 26.

S to what happen'd in England

to that pious Prince, and real Father of his People, K. Charles I. it is too mournful a Subject for prefent Defign, efpecially as Heaven feems difpofed to reserve to itself only the Vengeance of that execrable Crime, in order to render it the more terrible. The Murder of King Charles was quite different from all other Affaffinations, as it was done in Pursuance, and by the Authority of a Mock Court of Judicature, in the Name of a whole Nation, and in the Face of the Sun, fo it has drawn a heavy Punifhment on an entire People, not merely on the vile mifcreant Authors of that attrocious Villany. Thus as the Crime was perpetrated, fo is the Punishment inflicted, in a different Manner; for Heaven rarely permits Affaffins to escape unchaftis'd here amongst us. Cæfar's Murder is a manifeft Froof of this Fact, for Hiftory informs us, that of 60 Perfons who confpired against him, not one died a natural Death: They all perifh'd miferably, making a dreadful

tragical

tragical End, and Caffius who furviv'd all the others, had 'as fatal a Destiny as his Affociates: But Providence which orders all Things fuitable to her own Juftice, may fuffer the principal Actors in our folemn Tragedy, to live and thrive, enjoy Wealth and Grandeur for fome Generations as a Scourge to the reft, till the great Score is wiped off, and the Kingdom delivered from Blood Guiltinefs by cutting off all fuch Workers of Iniquity, as turn Religion into Rebellion and Faith into Faction.

One Thing, feems furprising enough, and yet nothing is truer; which is, that all the Chriftian Potentates who have ever been affaffinated, have fallen by the Hands of Jefuits and Fanaticks, or of fuch as perpetrated the Villany at their Inftigation. It is faid however to be a Dominican who poifoned the Emperor Henry VII. which execrable Defign he executed even in adminiftring the most folemn Mystery of his Religion. Another of the fame Order, Jacques Clement by Name, ftruck a Poniard into the Breaft of Henry III. King of France. Jean Guiynard, a Jefuit, folicited and corrupted, Jean Chatel, a young frenzical Novice, to take away the Life of one of the greatest Princes that ever reign'd, I mean Henry IV, How many Evils and Mischiefs have they among them all not perpetrated! Notwithstanding all which, they who moft ought to guard against them, do, thro' a most inconceivable Weakness, fuffer thofe Ecclefiafticks, particularly the Jefuits, about their Perfons, may and hug them in their Bofom.
