<HEAD>A COMPLAINT OF EDMUND ELYS, A Mini&s;ter of the Go&s;pel of <HI>JES&V;S CHRIST,</HI> Again&s;t <HI>TITUS OATES</HI> TO THE <HI>Nobility</HI> and <HI>Gentry</HI> of ENGLAND.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>My Lords and Gentlemen,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>IN a Book Entitled &Egr;&Igr;&Kgr;&OHgr;&Ngr; &Bgr;&Agr;&Sgr;&Igr;&Agr;&Igr;&Kgr;&EEgr;, Publi&s;ht by TITUS OATES, there is a mo&s;t Execrable Attempt to VILIFY the Memory of KING <HI>CHARLES</HI> the Fir&s;t, and of All tho&s;e Worthy Per&s;ons
<PB N="2" REF="2"><!-- PDF PAGE 20 -->
that Adher'd to Him in a &s;trict Ob&s;ervance of All the Laws that have been Made for the Defence of the Kings of <HI>England,</HI> a|gain&s;t their Stubborn and Di&s;obedient Sub|jects. In the 73^d Page of that Wicked Book, this <HI>Mon&s;ter of a Man, HOMO &amp; HUMANITATIS, Expers &amp; Vitae Communis Ignarus,</HI> has the&s;e words. <Q>Sir I can prove, that tho&s;e 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 rea&s;on why they were not &s;pared, was, that if they lived, they would have been great Ob&s;tacles in your way of debauching the People, and that was the rea&s;on of their being cut off.</Q></P>
<P>&mdash;<Q>If you remember, it was the weak part of tho&s;e Men that had their Lives given them; not but that &s;ome of them were Worthy Per&s;ons, but they had not arrived to tho&s;e Experiences of God and true Religion, as the others had done that laid down their Lives in that Cau&s;e. But the Truth is, I never found many of them that had &s;o LITTLE GRACE as
<PB N="3" REF="2"><!-- PDF PAGE 20 -->to Repent of what they had done.</Q></P>
<P><Q>Nay your Rage did not cea&s;e here; for you by all the Wrong imaginable pack'd a Parliament together of greenheaded young Gentlemen, the Sons of &s;ome CA|VALIERS, who&s;e Parents &s;uffer'd in the late War. And again in the &s;ame Page, Your &s;oured CAVALIERS, and your Con|&s;piring VILLAINS.</Q> In the 19^t^h Page this <HI>Civil Gentleman</HI> had pa&s;t a Comple|ment upon that Noble CAVALIER, the Lord JOHN BERKELEY. <Q>You know, &s;ays he, the Lord ROBARTS was remov'd, and another that was BASE enough to do &s;uch a Jobb (<HI>viz.</HI> To re&s;tore the Roman Catholick Religion, and to begin fir&s;t in <HI>Ireland</HI>) was &s;ent in his room. Page 44. Upon the removal of the Lord ROBARTS, afterwards Earl of <HI>Radnor,</HI> you remem|ber who &s;ucceeded him&mdash;that Tool of a Lieutenant came there, which was of dangerous Con&s;equence to that King|dom, and the Prote&s;tant Religion, and <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Intere&s;t.</Q> <HI>P.</HI> 26. He Reviles that mo&s;t Reverend <HI>Prelate Arch-Bi&s;hop</HI> LAUD, calling him <HI>Arch-Traytor.</HI> P. 30. He be|&s;tows
<PB N="4" REF="3"><!-- PDF PAGE 21 -->his <HI>Liverie</HI> upon that Eminently Learned and Pious <HI>Prelate</HI> Bi&s;hop <HI>M. That Wicked Prelate of</HI> Winche&s;ter, <HI>Dr.</HI> MORLAY. <HI>P.</HI> 75. <Q>Old COSENS (I &s;up|po&s;e he means Bi&s;hop COSIN) Old HINCH|MAN, and SHELDON, Three of the Devil's Brokers.</Q> <HI>P.</HI> III. He again Tramples on the BLOUD of our <HI>Murther'd Sovereign,</HI> &s;peaking of His Death in a SCOPTICAL Expre&s;&s;ion, and Reviling a Learned Prea|cher, that gave Him his due <HI>Encomium.</HI> <Q>A Little Prie&s;t of the Church of <HI>England</HI> in a Sermon of his on the Day your Fa|ther made his <HI>Exit,</HI> &amp;c.</Q></P>
<P>I &s;hall give you no further Trouble, but &s;hall leave it to the <HI>Chri&s;tian Genero&s;ity</HI> of your own Brea&s;ts, what Indignation Ye Ought to Conceive again&s;t the <HI>In&s;olence</HI> of &s;o Prodigious a VILLAIN.</P>
<CLOSER><SIGNED>Your mo&s;t Affectionate Humble Servant.</SIGNED></CLOSER>
