A FULL DISCOVERY OF THE False Evidence Produced by the PAPISTS Against the most Reverend and Learned Dr. Tho. Tenison.  
With Allowance.  
LONDON, Printed for John and Thomas Lane, at the Golden-Anchor, the Corner of Wilde-Street, next Duke-Street, 1688.   

Dr. Tenison's Invisible Evidence Unclouded,  By CATHARINE LAMB. 
With a further Account of the said EVIDENCE.  
HAving heard a Pamphlet, (industriously cried about Streets) Entitled, Mr. Pulton Considered by Dr Tenison, I was led by Curiosity, and the Strangeness of the Title, to give myself the trouble of seeing, if (according to my Apprehension) there were any thing considerable therein: But before I had read out the First Page, I was very much surprised, to see my Name in the very Front of the Book; and for no other Reason (as I could perceive, or imagine) but to Confront the Evidence I gave by my Certificate, Published with Mr. Pulton's Remarks, about the Long-Acre Conference, betwixt Mr. Pulton, and the Reverend Doctor: Which Certificate, as it concerns myself, is my chief Design to Maintain and Justify; which, I doubt not, but will appear to be done in the Sequel, to any unprejudiced and unbyass'd Reader: And, since my only business is to maintain my former Certificate, I must acquaint my Reader, That I shall meddle with nothing but what concerns That, or this Grave Doctor's Reflection upon myself. As for the other Part of the Book, I question not, but 'twill be fully Answered by Mr. Pulton; notwithstanding the great Conceit our Doctor hath of His own, and His Fellow Labourers great Undertake, in this His Grand Book of Considerations: And though this Design be a Work somewhat Improper for a Woman; yet, that the Doctor may not hug Himself in his old musty Opinion, that roman-catholics are altogether led in Ignorance, I shall give Him some Reason to think, if He can Think as well as Consider, (as He calls it) that those Absurdities of His, relating to myself, I, though a Woman, have Sense enough to take Notice of, by a just Resentment; and also to put the Doctor in mind (though one would think, for His Godly Consorts sake) He should not have forgot, It is ill Provoking our Weaker Sex.  
First, therefore, Before I come to the Matter of the Certificate, I must take notice of the Learned Doctor's Quarrelling at the manner of Certifying; which, the Doctor says, Mr. Pulton terms, Testimonies in Favour of A. P. And the Doctor (because he will not pass by the least opportunity of showing His Profound Parts) Wittily observes to be a New Style in Certificates; which, says He, aught to be Written without Fear, Affection, or Favour.  
Now, by the Doctor's Leave, however New his Reverence may fancy the Style to be, yet, with Submission, I think 'tis proper enough, to Style a Certificate so; which, nevertheless, may be Certified without Fear, Affection, or Favour to the Party, on whose behalf the Truth appears to be: For, where there is a Question about Matter of Fact, (as in our present Case) and the Fact is to be evinced by Certificate, on whosoevers side the Truth does appear to be, by the Certificate, that Certificate may very well be termed to be, in Favour of the Party that so Affirms the Truth, and yet be Certified without any Partiality; as the Doctor would by all this Jargon, (to use His own Word for it) slily Insinuate, to prepossess His Long-Acre Admirers.  
But, to pass to what is most Material; There was, says the Doctor, as little necessity of any of these Certificates, as there is Sincerity in some. Now, though there was not an Indispensible necessity, yet I think 'twas absolutely convenient to satisfy the World, if possible, by Certificates, that this Giant of Dispute, and Monster at an Argument, had not knocked down Fifteen Jesuits; as this Renowned St. Martin's Oracle, or some of His Brazen Acquaintance, had Maliciously and Falsely reported; for I do not believe our modest Doctor has, as yet, a Forehead of Brass, since He can afford a Blush upon occasion; as it's said He did, upon viewing Himself in the Soldier's Speculum; though some are prone to believe, it was only, the Reflection of the Soldiers Red-Coat in his shining Face. But, that I may not forget my Design, or at least seem like the Wiseman in my Lord Bacon's Essays, (quoted by our Doctor) who reserves His great Business for a Postscript; I think 'tis time, without keeping my Reader any longer in suspense, to acquaint Him, That notwithstanding the Doctor, and His Adherers sly Insinuation to the contrary, I do again Insist on it for an Absolute Truth, (without any Equivocation, or Mental Reservation whatsoever) That I was in the Room below, (whether the Doctor's Friend, Mrs. V calls it a Chamber, or by any other Name, I know not) and saw Mr. Pulton come in, and go up Stairs: And, as I said in my former Certificate; He had only one Gentleman in His Company, and a Third Person, who followed them. I also went up Stairs immediately after them, and was in the Room where the Conference was, before Mr. Pulton, and the Doctor had exchanged one Word; and I think the Doctor's Comical Schoolmaster may very well remember me there, by my desiring him (in the midst of his Comedy) not to Interrupt the Conference with his several Monkey-Tricks, shown upon that occasion.  
And it is well known, that very Night I came home to my House, after the Conference was ended, discoursing about it, and several things which passed thereat, in the Presence of several People of good Repute; I declared all those Circumstances, when it was not so much as thought of, at least by me, it ever would, as it now is, have been Publicly exposed in Print.  
Besides, were it for the satisfaction of any one that deserves it, I am ready to make Affidavit of the Truth of what I now Insist on, as to my Certificate, before any Person, that can Legally Administer an Oath to me, for that intent and purpose: All which, I hope, may satisfy the World of the Truth of my Evidence in this particular.  
Now, the Occasion of the mistake of putting the Chamber where the Conference was held, in place of the Chamber below (and at which, the Doctor seems to take so great an Advantage; though he'll find it quite contrary; for, by obliging me to give Him this more plain Account, the Truth of my Evidence appears more clear; as also His most Injurious Proceeding in this Case, however) it is as followeth:  
Understanding the fine misrepresentation of the whole Matter of Fact in the Doctor's Account, as being an Eye-Witness to the contrary; I signified, by my Husband, to Mr. Pulton, That I was willing to Attest (if He pleased) how I had seen Him Go into the the Chamber, where the Conference was held, with only One Gentleman in His Company, and a Third, who followed them: Mr. Pulton told my Husband, He was sorry the other Certificate was gone to the Press; however in haste, he Wrote it in my Name (my Husband saying I assented thereto) and put the Word Come, in place of Go. Now, that Mr. Pulton did this without Design, is manifest; for, had He put my Testimony, as in the Chamber below, I then had Witnessed, (as now I do) That I saw Him not only Go into the Chamber above, but also Come in from the Street, in the aforesaid manner.  
But now you may ask, Was I not there by Mr. Pulton's Appointment or Consent? I answer to the Negative; for having accidentally heard there was such a Conference to be, I sent to know, whether it might be allowed that I should go? He answered, That He knew not where Himself was to go; and that He did not desire any One should come there: But using the endeavour the Curiosity of my Sex may render pardonable, I found means, by Enquiry in the Neighbourhood, to find out the House.  
Now, I do not doubt, but the Doctor Himself, upon further Consideration, will, or at least, may be Ashamed, (if any thing can make him so to be) publicly to expose a Person for speaking the Truth; but the Doctor thinks he hath a Proverb on his side, That Truth ought not to be Spoke at all Times; and this he thinks a very improper Time for it, when it hinders him from catching his Gudgeon; and therefore thinks he hath sufficient Reason for his Scurrilous Expressions, which will appear otherways to the Reader: His Words are in this manner, viz.  
The Doctor gins his Comical Humour; For, (says he, 
In his Book, Entitled, Mr. P. Considered. Pag. 2.  by way of Caution to Mr. Pulton) Let Him from henceforth forbear his Raillery against Katherine Boren, lest He put Peplein mind of Catharine Lamb; who, for aught I know, may be a Virtuous and True Woman; but, as she is Represented in Mr. Pulton 's Certificate, she is a very extraordinary Person: Certainly she must have some Relation to that Famous Dr. Lamb, whom the Mobile believed to be a Conjurer. But whatever the Mobile believed of Dr. Lamb, surely none but that sort of People would take our Learned Doctor for a Conjurer, by his Discourse: For, what Parallel is there betwixt Kate Boren, and myself; Who, for aught the Doctor knows, may be a Virtuous and True Woman; but the Doctor pretends no such thing of Kate Boren: So that, what the Doctor would say, if he could speak his Mind, is no more than thus; Pray, Mr. Pulton, don't tell me no more of Kate Boren who, you say, was a Lewd, Naughty Woman; for fear I give you a hint of Catharine Lamb, who is a Virtuous and True Woman; and, as you have Represented Her, is an extraordinary Person.  
Now, I would fain have another Book of the Doctor's Considerations, to explain this notable piece of Sophistry of His.  
Says the Doctor, If Katherine Lamb did not Certify this, 
Pag. 3.  there is Forgery in it; and if she did, there is False-Evidence. But, as I have said before, I did Certify it; therefore there is no Forgery in it: and according to the Truth of the Matter aforesaid; therefore no False Evidence.  
The Doctor continues his pleasant Conceit yet further: 
Pag. 4.  For (says he) on Novemb. 4. Mr. Pulton Published his Remarks, that Night the False Certificate of Catharina in Nubibus was Publicly exposed. But that the Certificate is True, I think sufficient hath been said before: And that I am come out of the Clouds, (where the Doctor by his Hocus Pocus Tricks, if his frequent Repetitions to that purpose, would have Confined me) to Justify myself, and the Certificate from his False Aspersions; as these Papers, being Publicly exposed, will abundantly Testify, to his great Confusion.  
But for a parting Blow; Our Satirical Doctor continues his Merry Conceits against me, 
Page 10.  and is resolved to make me a through paced Evidence: For (says he) if Catharine Lamb had been there in her Magical Mantle, she may, I doubt not, prove it upon me. Had I, Doctor, the Magical Mantle you were pleased to mention, I might perhaps, make Discoveries not very agreeable to your Character; and make known to the World more than a mere Coaching of it to whitefriars, to present your Salamanca-Narrative to Coffeehouses.  
There is several other Places to this purpose, in this Grand Book of Consideration; but I am unwilling to trouble my Reader with such Impertinencies any longer.  
I have indeed been a great Zealot for your pretended Church; but the Aspersive, False, and Fabulous Accounts I have often heard, in the most Sacred Places, from Men of your Gown, most injuriously misrepresenting the Catholic Principles, seconded by the Experience I have of your own most disingenuous and insincere Proceed, in this whole Matter, has entirely convinced me, that Truth cannot be, where studied Falsehood is affectedly Professed: I am sorry, Doctor, that the best Conceit of your Fifteen Sheets is spoilt, and that it stood not with my Reputation, to Cloak your Malice with a Mantle; although, I am sensible, it is not an ordinary One will do it.  
Whereas Susanna Robinson speaks of a Train following Mr. Pulton, who shall be named, as she says, when there is occasion; She is acquainted, that there is now occasion; since, if her Evidence be True, I must incur a contrary Repute: The Train she speaks of, will be proved not to have belonged to Mr. Pulton, but to the Doctor, who were stopped below till the Parties were met; and Mr. Pulton being now gone up, against his Knowledge, Appointment, or Will, was, I believe, followed not long after, by that Train, and the Famous Schoolmaster in the midst of them.  
But perchance, my Reader will Censure me for not expressing myself, sometimes, so Respectively to the Doctor as I ought; For that, whatever he is now, his Reverence hath been accounted a modest Man; but if ever he was so, it is certain, he doth now very much Degenerate; which is too plain, by the way which he takes in vilifying and defaming Others: Whereas, if there had been any Fault, yet, in my Judgement, the Doctor ought not to have taken such a method to Reprove it; but seeing so Grave a Doctor hath prescribed this Method, I hope he, nor no one else, will take it amiss, especially from a weak Woman; if she, to Vindicate herself, make use, in a manner, of his own Language.
