my brother's Intereft had opened the door of the church to great dignities; befides had he kept pace with the family prudence and good morals, or the like of that, and then, and fuppofe, he might, as the faying is, have fcraped immenfe riches, without being as myself at the expence of a groat, do ye mungey; but the villain placing himself with Ganganelli, like him is become a fcape goat; for he has incurred the malediction, hatred and curfe, reprobation and difinherifon, both of us, his blood kindred, and the rights and privileges of a free fubject of Great-Britain; which authority and laudable atteftation I proved to you in part, at the head of my common prayer book, in a former conference, or the like of that, as the faying is, do ye mungey; and as I was faying, this peft of his family becoming reprobate, that a Roman papift, or the like of that, Mr. Taylor, do ye mungey; and as the ftory was handed about, took his uncle, who otherwife carried a keen edge, or the like of that, as Mofs caught his mare, good Mr. Taylor, napping, do ye mungey and as I was faying, dear friend, made all Ipeed to the Papifts in London, where he, an arch wag, made an acquaintance, and wafted himself, tho' a child, on his travels to Douay, where he made ufe of the learning his uncle had inftilled into his quick pate, against the common proteftant Republic, my nincompoop, who lately in your prefence, worthy friend, offended me, hinted, do ye mungey, worthy Sir, Mr. Taylor, or the like of that, as I was faying, that the boy known to Mr. Rabbi Mofes, who affifted affifted in one or two of our late conferences in changing one heretofore, a hardy Scotch Minifter, Calvin then, but fince, they tell me, he is called Brother Bonny, which name would have been fuitable when a minifter, he being a huge dunghill of tallow; but I am told, good Sir, that he has played himself fo many papift's tricks, or the like of that, do ye mungey, worthy Mr. Taylor, that, as I was faying, I fhould not know him again, no not if we were to break bread together, or even feed on a Scotch Hagges, or the like of that, do ye mungey, good Sir. But, as I was faying, my hoft told me in confidence, bring your ear clofe to my mouth, my worthy friend, as I wish to keep nothing fecret from the man I love, and have taken to heart to keep him and family near my perfon, at my palace where ever it be, or the like of that, do ye mungey; that this boy who fooled Calvin, and would have tricked me also into a papist had I not been disposed for the new philofophy of this our enlightened age and northern hemifphere. Good Mr. Taylor was and is my very reprobate papist fon, and for whofe fake I fet out on my travels to oblige him to difqualify himself as far as his minor age will admit for his uncle's property, fealing the renunciation with an oath on the Holy Evangelift, and fo help me God; for his maxim from his birth was never to offend his Maker, until his uncle fet him to study the works of the old Chriftians, which are called Fathers. These old fufty rogues have made an ass of the child, which, as the old faying is, "It is an ill ill wind that blows no one good," I fhall therefore fcratch him out, and make my confederate of you, my great and good ally, when done we fhall have a happy day. The day of the Lord is at hand, fo be it. I prefume you are a Calvinift, being a Hollander; I am mostly one myself, and if you are, we fhall be extremely comforted. I am fond of their hymns. Taylor. I am a poor fon of Saint Peter, and an Irishman, who, through those fanguinary laws against the innocent, I am with my family obliged to shelter my head under the protection of foreign princes. Luther. I with our holy Religion was restored, it would be a moft happy day when we could with truth fay, we believe in the one holy Catholic and Apoftolic Church; the Church of Chrift, and Peter's Chair for ever: this fhall be my voice for evermore. Club. Your Holiness will be pleased to difmifs the Taylor; for we fuppofe a large concourse of perfons who wait for admittance, are the retinue of fome Prince who is come to receive your Holiness's bleffing. 1 Luther. My friends, difmifs our worthy brother I beseech you with honor; here is his bill; and receive the prince with majefty, grace, and noble deportment. Taylor. My time is urgent and will wait no delay; be expeditious I pray. Club. His Holinefs will difcharge your demand. Luther. My friend, you hear, requires you to pay his bill; it is extremely reasonable. Club. Club. Your Holiness's purfe if you please. Taylor. I will be no longer trified with. Luther. You have my permiflion, difinifs my worthy friend, he is our brother. Club. Without your Holinets's purfe we are not enabled: you will permit us the honour. Taylor. My creditors will be impatient, I must therefore take the proper expedient. Luther. Brother Cardinals, difpatch your brother, 2000l. caft lots; raife by lottery: or, if you had rather each of you a fhare, let the whole be equal share and share alike. Club. Your demand, Mr. Taylor, on each of us feparate, and you will give each a receipt in fuil. Taylor. Do you mean to divide the 2000l. which is the full amount, in twelve fhares, taking his Holinefs into the partnership, or, leaving out his Holiness, divide it among your felves. Luther. Mr. Taylor, you make yourself culpable by advancing a falfe and heterodox propofition, offering and facrificing, indignifying, and amphibiously folding the Imperial Dignity of my facred Holiness; fuppofing the cafe as thus: but then, and fuppofe, and the like of that, and fetting the cafe as thus, do ye mungey that his Holinefs be a partner in a papift Taylor's bill; is this poffible? fchifm and herely blafpheming the imperial and most facred rites. Your Eminences have heard the blafphemy, O ye blood-thirfty Papift, an old adage, that our holy proteftant brethren have branded you, and your whole obnoxious peft; a true a true picture of that old blood-thirsty Jew, Mofes, who delighted even in the blood of his children, which forced vengeance from his wife when he circumcifed his two fons. A bloody husband thou furely art, words too moving to be overlooked by one of my exaltednefs; scaremouch, blind-buzzard, wife-acre, nincompoop, and a thousand malicious, and names of buffoonery, or the like of that, as the faying is, do ye mungey. Club. The lenient conftitution of British Freedom will not fuffer this diabolical, fuperftitious, and blood-thirsty peft to live within. the limits of their extenfive dominions. It is known to all, that the proteftant hierarchy chiefly depend and reft on the fhoulders of England and Holland. If this fupport, or prop, fhould at any time disagree and refuse to coincide with each other, they will experience a fimilar difafter with their other brothers in the different ages of the Roman Church, who all and every one of them fought hard and made a terrible cracking for a time, (nay the Arians 400 years) and then disappear, according as the Papifts declare to be pofitively fet forth by Jefus Chrift, and his Apostles, in different parts of their scriptures, that herefies would arife to purify the heirs of falvation, and try them with infamy, hatred, and every perfecution, as gold in the fire; we know not why, but furely the diabolical chair of Peter has weathered near the close of 1800 years from Chrift, although the Proteftants, whom they call Heretics, as old an Hierarchy, and at times as aforefaid moft prof perous, |
