Book Description
Excerpt from The Jacobitism, Perjury and Popery of High-Church Priests Many admir'd the Impudence of the Pretender in attempting with fo very few Forces fuch a powerful Go vernment; but then they did not confider how many years the high-church Drummers had been beating up for Volunteers on his account. But tho that Attempt has happily mifcarry'd, yet 'tis very melancholy to confider, how fince that time the high-church Pulpits have doubled their Efforts to make way for another D (cent. Nay, tho one of the Trumpeters of Sedition is profecuted in a Parliamentary way, yet that has had no other effefi on his True Brethren, than to caufe 'em to preach up with more fury than ever thefe Hellifh Doc trines; as if they hop'd with their Numbers and daring Infolence to intimidate the Parliament. So that now after the fpending of fo much Blood and Treafiire in defence of the Revolution, things feem to be brought to this pafs, that the Reprefentatives of the Nation mull be under a fneceflity of difputing the Lawfulnefs of it with High' Church Priefisz, who, without any regard to their Oaths, 'are daily telling the People in as plain terms as they durf't, thatall the Steps leading to the prefent Settlement, by which her Maiefly reigns, are founded on a damnable Rebellion, in which the whole Nation has been involv'd. Were this true, high-church need not to be at any great pains to prove that a National Guilt requires a Na tional Repentance, and that they have no way to atone for this damnable and unnatural Sin, than by reducing things as foon as pofiible to their former couffe and old channel. 50 that if our Allys are not to be betray'd, as well as thele Nations given up to the Pretender, and all Europe by confequence to French Tyranny and Popery; 'tis not the fault of high-church, who had they not te viv'd their abdicated Doeirine of Paffive Obedience, there had not been, in all probability, by this time fach a Monfler in the Nation as a Proteftant Jacobite.
