IN a Book Entitled ΕΙΚΩΝ ΒΑΣΙΑΙΚΗ, Publisht by TITUS OATES, there is a most Execrable Attempt to VILIFY the Memory of KING CHARLES the First, and of All those Worthy Persons [Page 2] that Adher'd to Him in a strict Observance of All the Laws that have been Made for the Defence of the Kings of England, a­gainst their Stubborn and Disobedient Sub­jects. In the 73^d Page of that Wicked Book, this Monster of a Man, HOMO & HUMANITATIS, Expers & Vitae Communis Ignarus, has these words. ‘Sir I can prove, that those Men who were concern'd in Judging and Condemning your Father to Death, tho' that was the pretence or handle you took to have them cut off, yet the great reason why they were not spared, was, that if they lived, they would have been great Obstacles in your way of debauching the People, and that was the reason of their being cut off.’

—‘If you remember, it was the weak part of those Men that had their Lives given them; not but that some of them were Worthy Persons, but they had not arrived to those Experiences of God and true Religion, as the others had done that laid down their Lives in that Cause. But the Truth is, I never found many of them that had so LITTLE GRACE as [Page 3] to Repent of what they had done.’

‘Nay your Rage did not cease here; for you by all the Wrong imaginable pack'd a Parliament together of greenheaded young Gentlemen, the Sons of some CA­VALIERS, whose Parents suffer'd in the late War. And again in the same Page, Your soured CAVALIERS, and your Con­spiring VILLAINS.’ In the 19^th Page this Civil Gentleman had past a Comple­ment upon that Noble CAVALIER, the Lord JOHN BERKELEY. ‘You know, says he, the Lord ROBARTS was remov'd, and another that was BASE enough to do such a Jobb (viz. To restore the Roman Catholick Religion, and to begin first in Ireland) was sent in his room. Page 44. Upon the removal of the Lord ROBARTS, afterwards Earl of Radnor, you remem­ber who succeeded him—that Tool of a Lieutenant came there, which was of dangerous Consequence to that King­dom, and the Protestant Religion, and English Interest.’ P. 26. He Reviles that most Reverend Prelate Arch-Bishop LAUD, calling him Arch-Traytor. P. 30. He be­stows [Page 4] his Liverie upon that Eminently Learned and Pious Prelate Bishop M. That Wicked Prelate of Winchester, Dr. MORLAY. P. 75. ‘Old COSENS (I sup­pose he means Bishop COSIN) Old HINCH­MAN, and SHELDON, Three of the Devil's Brokers.’ P. III. He again Tramples on the BLOUD of our Murther'd Sovereign, speaking of His Death in a SCOPTICAL Expression, and Reviling a Learned Prea­cher, that gave Him his due Encomium. ‘A Little Priest of the Church of England in a Sermon of his on the Day your Fa­ther made his Exit, &c.’

I shall give you no further Trouble, but shall leave it to the Christian Generosity of your own Breasts, what Indignation Ye Ought to Conceive against the Insolence of so Prodigious a VILLAIN.
