nd you from the bloody Race, was
carried in the House _nemine contra dicente_, by the Royal Party, and
under your Grace's Illustrious Patronage is safe from any new Seditious
affronts abroad; Your Grace alone, whom Heaven and Nature has form'd the
most adorable Person in the whole Creation, with all the advantages of a
glorious Birth, has a double right and power to defend all that approach
you for sanctuary; your very Beauty is a Guard to all you daigne to make
safe: for You were born for Conquest every way; even what _Phanatick_,
what peevish _Politician_, testy with _Age, Diseases_, miscarried
_Plots_, disappointed _Revolutions_, envious of _Power_, of _Princes_,
and of _Monarchy_, and mad with _Zeal_ for _Change_ and _Reformation_,
could yet be so far lost to sense of Pleasure, as not to turn a Rebel to
Revenge the _Good old Cause_, and the patronage to _Plebean_ sedition
with only looking on you, 'twou'd force his meger face to blushing

renew it daily to our memories: And I am satisfied, that they that will
justifie the best of these Traytors, deserves the fate of the worst, and
most manifestly declare to the World by it, they wou'd be at the _Old
Game_ their fore-Fathers play'd with so good success: yet if there be
any honest loyal man allied to any here nam'd, I heartily beg his pardon
for any offensive Truth I have spoken, and 'tis a wonderful thing that
amongst so Numerous a Flock they will not allow of one mangy Sheep; not
one Rogue in the whole Generation of the Association.

_Ignoramus the _1st_ and the _2d_._

humbly present this small Mirror, of the late wretched Times: wherein
