Good Mr. Taylor was and is my very reprobate papist son, 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 ftudy the works of the old Chriftians, which are called Fathers.

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 fhare and fhare 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 Holiness into the partnership, or, leaving out his Holinefs, divide it among your felves.

Luther Mr. Taylor, you make yourfelf culpable by advancing a falfe and heterodox propofition, offering and facrificing, indignifying, and amphibiously folding the Imperial Dignity of my facred Holinefs; 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 papilt 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 Papist, an old adage, that our holy proteftant brethren have branded you, and your whole obnoxious peft;

a true

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 exaltedness; fcaremouch, 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, fupers ftitious, and blood-thirsty pest 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 difagree 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 ferrible 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 Apoftles, in different parts of their feriptures, that herefies would arife to purify the heirs of salvation, 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 clofe of 1800 years from Chrift, although the Proteftants, whom they call Heretics, as old an Hierarchy, and at times as aforefaid moft prof

O bleffed, thrice bleffed Phenomenon, grand Link of the two Reformed Churches, whofe imperial union establishes univerfal Hierarchy, your great Sovereign will bring all things to your fubjection. Where will your adverfaries find a refting hole to hide their guilty heads? where will Peter reign when you are poffeffed of the Univerfe? Taylor, make your peace now you have lenity and pardon at option. Down on your knees and receive forgiveness from your Lord, and with duty beg his acceptance of thefe things he has vouchfated you the honour to execute.
