ANSWER To a Late Scandalous Libel MADE ON THE Ld. Archb. of C. And the Bishop of Heref.  
By way of Dialogue.  Enter a Church-of- England- Man, a Dissenter, and the Scribbling Author of the  LIBEL. Ch. of Engl. Man 
NEighbour, I am sorry that I now a-days can never see you at Church, or at Sacrament, I remember the time when you was a constant man.  Dissenter. 
Hold there Sir, I must borrow one of Roger or Harry's Distinctions, I was constant at Church, but not a constant man of the Church; and I was unwilling that any Advantage should be taken against me by those little Officers employed for persecuting honest Dissenters.  Scribbler. 
And in troth I think thou wert in the right on't, when whigs were uppermost the Church of- England-men could scarce preserve the Crown or themselves, than I cried out against Popery, and 'tis well known that I then writ the Packet of Advice from Rome, and gave severe glances on the Church of England too, as not much better, and a-gad, I would have invented any. Lie to scandalise that Party, and take with the Rabble (whom I then studied most to please) but in good sooth I had so much True Matter from Rome that I stood in no want for Invention. But now having made a Truce against the Common Enemy, I have some of the other Party furnishes me with such admirable reasons, which by example of Bays I make my own Ay, and Ey Gad too, I emprove 'em.  Ch. of Engl. 
Hark ye Neighbour, is not this the Saucy, Scandalous Fellow, who writ that ridiculous Libel against the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop of Hereford, which he calls a Dialogue.  Diss. 
This may be him, for I have heard it was done by a bold hand, and I'll assure ye I do not know such a notable Man in the three Kingdoms for drawing a thing to the Life, and between you and I, he is one of the best Friends we have for endeavouring the raking away those impious Laws for Payment of Tithes, and for enforcing of men's Consciences against their Interests and Inclinations; But I must beg you're Pardon if I desire him and yourself to be better Acquainted.  Ch. of Eng. 
I thank ye for you're Civility, but I believe men of a Loyal Disposition will not sure with his Temper.  Diss. 
O Sir, now he is all over Loyal— Mr. Care, Pray be Acquainted with this Honest Gentleman, I have given your Character to him.  Scribbler to the Church-of-England man. Scrib. 
Sir, before I become Acquainted with ye, you must Answer a plain Question.  Ch. of Engl. 
Sir any honest Question I shall readily give an Answer to; but I hope, the sense I have of things, being plainly discoursed, shall not be informed of, or misrepresented in another place.  Scribbler, 
'Tis true, I have been a Writer in all times, for the prevailing Side, but I have written so much against Parators, In formers, and you're Church of England Constables, Justices of Peace, the persecuting Judges, and other Presenters, and Persecutors, that I cannot now in a Court of Justice expect to be believed, tho' I should become an Evidence, or sourvey Informer, but pray Sir, keep within Compass, for I must hear nothing against the Government.  Diss. 
No, No, God forbidden (Sir) nothing against the Government, nothing against Obedience, or for Liberty of Conscience otherwise then is granted to us, according to Law.  Ch. of E. 
Why Mr. C. I understand ye commit Scandalum Magnatum, and would frighten the Lawyers out of their Reading and Senses, and give your Advice as frankly in public Affairs as a Privy Councillor. Is this according to Law?  Scrib. 
Sir, Pray Sir, I demanded the first Question, which if you will not hear; Your Servant Sir. Will you—  Ch. of E. 
Oh! Sir, I see what you would beat, No. But pray, Sir, Who gave ye the power of Interrogating any his Majesty's Subjects about Laws or Government? What Commission have ye? or is it for the sake of Meddling, Gain, or Necessity, as you venture at Scribbling? Come, Sir, The Thief may through Necessity, or for some Booty, Rob; but unless the Government be very Merciful, he must hang for it afterwards. I'll tell thee, I was at the Temple with my Lawyer, and before him lay that Impudent. False, Militious, ignorant Dialogue, Hawked about on Saturday last, fixing on the Greatest Prelate and Peer of this Nation, ridiculous Reasons for not Reading the King's Declaration; He assured me that it was not only an Offence inquirable and punishable by the Government; But that (according to Modern Precedents) his Grace and Lordship, might bring their Actions at the Common Law, and recover more Damage against thee, than all thy Factious Crew would ever give for the purchase of thy Life, or their Liberties, otherwise than by Magna Charta and the King's Royal Protection, they ought to enjoy.  Dissen. 
Neighbour! But pray, of what Religion and Temper of Mind was the Man, I fear some Notorious Man against Blessed, Simple, and Pure Conscience?  Ch. of E. 
Truly I saw a late Poem in his Study, of Mr. Dryden's on the Prince; where I observed in fol. 8. the 10. and 11. lines, speaking of his Baptismal Drops.  
Let Conscience, which is Interest ill disguised,  
In the same Font be cleansed, and all the Land Baptised.  
What he meant, I leave to you, but I hope he intended only such Consciences as thine: For in truth I always looked on thee as a Hypocrite, and so I find thee, and so I fear shall leave thee:  Scrib. 
Sir, I know you not, Sir, I'll warrant you Sir, he and you were, worthy Sir, both of a Church, a National Church, Sir, a Loyal obedient Church, Sir; and if we knew him, Sir, We should make him repent, Sir; And so Farewell Sir. Your Servant, Sir. Your Servant, Sir. We fear you not, Sir, Actions, Damages, Fines, etc. Sir. This Lawyer would fain be a Judge, a Recorder, or some such thing, Sir. I'll warrant he never was so Loyal, nor you, Sir, if you be of the Church as you call it, to stand by the King, but to preserve yourself, and to persecute, as I have several ways in sundry of my Occurrences notably written,  Ch. of E. 
I'll tell thee, that he is what I am, and that we both were always Loyal Churchmen as by the Loyal Addresses we Signed to before thy Occurrences came in Vogue, and a little after thy Pacquets were out of fashion, and by such Rogues as thee, called Papists in Masquerade. We were not only always Loyal, but one of our Fathers was Sequestered, decimated, and died in Prison for the sake of the Blessed Martyr, the Father of our present Sovereign (whom God long preserve) and his Grandfather in Yorkshire raised two Troops of Horse at his own Charge, under the Lord Hopton, and was killed in Actual Service, before the Surrender of Oxford. My Father died also upon that Account. And We have been stiff to our Duty on all Occasions, without any regard to our Interests, against Exclusioners, who would have turned the World upside down, destroyed the Late Good, and this present Merciful King; set up a Monmouth or a Shaftsbury, divided amongst 'em all our Estates, and trampled on the whole Hierarchy of the Legally Established and un-impeached, un-blemished, Loyal and True Christian Church of England.
