The Dissenters Address, to his MAJESTY. Sir, MAy it please your Majesty — We the Saints of the Blessed Reformed Kirk, Presbyterians, Independants, Fifth-Monarch Men, Quakers, Mugletonians, Pythagorians, Millenarians, Calvinists, Brownists, Zwinglians, Arians, Atheists, Hypocrites, Blasphemers, Dissenters, Covenanters, Canters, Ranters, Circumventers, Forgerers, Perjurers, Subornors, Detractors, Compactors, and Fractors, Whores, Rogues and Bawds, Coockolds, and Coockold-makers', a parcel of old perjured Lord Mayors, and Sheriffs,— a Race of Worthies, spawnd from: the Loins of fifty odd Non-Cons, Holder's forth, whose Daughters, furnish Whetstons-Park, More-Fields, Wapping, and other parts of the Town, with Whores their Sons, & their Pimps, and we are the third and fourth Generation, who now Address to your Majesty and have overspread most parts of the three Nations— pray you, Sir, judge if it is possible for us to be more Loyal than we are, considering our fore Father, The Rebellious Stallions from whence we are descended— we do confess we are Imps of Dissension and Rebellion, by instinct of Nature, and cannot help it,— it is innated in us to commit Murders, Plots, Rapes, Forgeries, and all other Innormities, and Villainies, and thack 'em all upon the Papists: if they deny to be Guilty of our faults, either at their Trial, or Execution, than we cry Mental Reservations are the Popish Principles; and would disjoint them alive if the Law would let us. Sir, it is our fralties and we cannot help it. And now Sir, we do with most Insollence, Impudence and Confidence implore your most Gracious Majesty— That these Saints of our Community and Holy: Order of Rebellion, and Commonwealth, in whose good or bad success we have a fellow-feelling; that the Aspersion of this pretended Presbyterian-Plot may be taken off us— for we desire that it may be the Opinion of all the World, that the Papists have had as great a hand in it; as they have had in all the Plots this five years' last passed— What if my Lord Shaftsbury, in whom we confided, as chief Patriot of the people, for their several Religions and Properties and Privileges and Encouraging us to put our Paws to the Association; to seize and Assassinate your person and to Raise an Army against you to prevent the growth of Popery, or so— and he failing of his purpose ran away to save his Neck— he was an old Rogue, and shall we be Guilty of Treason for that? If Oats and Tongue were to modelize a shame Popish Plot, which gave opportunity to carry on a Presbyterian one.: Contrived before in Aldersgate-Street and other Cabals— what must the Soulsaving Saints suffer for that? and if Sanctified Holder's forth, have taught us to take up Arms to fight for King Jesus against his Anointed— They'll show you Scripture for it— and if the Scripture commands us to Rebel; why should Rebellion be Treason— and if not why may not we Rebel when we please without being hanged,— like Dogs? why sure it is not come to that? perhaps Mr. Mead, might say it was not only policy but necessary to murder his King— must the holy Rollocks his flock be counted Rebels for that? And for the Godly Dissenters to murder their King and lay it upon the the Papists; that's lawful? For it past the late house of Commons Nemine Contradicente: and though we in the City contribute to the maintenance of the cleanly Dr.— if we had not, he might have discovered the true Plot indeed. And might as well as it falls out: but if our designs had took,— the Doctor's oath would have been very necessary, to have sworn the murder upon the Papists. And would have made his past Plots and Perjuries to have passed for truth into the bargain— Now for Monmouth, Grey, Armstrong, Russell, Sidney, Trencher; and a hundred-Thousand— more, which are but a handful of fellows,— and since they are detected what relation are they to us; that are tho sober Godly party? no they are a company of magot-headed Rascals— not worth the Society of the Godly. For why should they undertake buisiness they are not able to go thorough stick with? Now if the project had succeeded; there could have been no reason, but we should have been fellow-sharers in the spoils, being privy to the conspiracy— but as it stands now— we are as Ambitious to fee them hanged for failing, as your Majesty for their attempting— for this murder and Massacre looks more horrid being divulged, than the Act itself would have done both to us and the sufferers; since the Apprehension of death is more terrible than death itself— And thus Sir, You see we have made our selves as clear of the Plot as your Majesty or any body else can imagine us to be: and we hope you'll look upon us to be as loyal Subjects, as we have approved ourselves ever since forty one; and so you shall ever find us, to the utmost of our power— Therefore we beseech your Majesty, not to hang us up like Bunches of Grapes, and Ropes of Onions: And suffer our Heads to be sold for 3. d. a piece, and set for Examples upon necessary Houses; & we shall Remain your Majesty's True, Blue, Protestant Dissenting Subjects. Their Petition for some Correction, in the Managing the Plot and Government. Imprimis— that Queen Bess' Act may be Repealed: that Trencher may be Speaker in the next House of Commons: that Monkey Care, may choose his own Justice; for fear of falling into L'Estrange's hands: let it be lawful for any of our Brethren, to Murder his Father or Uncle for interest: that Howard of Escreek may have a Crabtree to the Tower to preach in, and an Ignoramus Jury to bring him out again. But above all we beseech you Remember our Ancient Holy Kirk— ah; for the Laird's sake, out Ancient Kirk; for it is so old it wants patching every day— LONDON Printed for J. D. 1683.
