An abstract (with remarks) of Dr. Scot's sermon preached at Chelmsford assizes, Aug. 31, 1685 wherein the doctor prophetically gives his opinion of the consequences of the late revolution, concluding with an excellent character of King James the Second.
and therefore neither the Bishop of Rome, nor the Majority of the People, can claim exemption from this Duty of Subjection, without arrogating to themselves an Authority superiour to Gods.

Which he sufficiently signaliz'd in Ireland, notwithstanding what Dr. King of Dublin, like a cursing Shimei, and railing Rabsheca, says in his celebrated Book; which, for the many Falshoods in it, may be stil'd a Legend of Lies, rather than a true History; who points only to to the dark side of the Cloud, but hides its brighter and beautiful Glory; insists only on those things, which, either out of unavoidable Necessity, the King was forced to comply with, or those which were acted at a distance by the rude Irish, or by Souldiers, for the which he was not accountable; but conceals all the Instances of his Goodness, which will embalm his Memory in that Kingdom throughout all Ages; of which the Protection he gave his Protestant Subjects (to whom he was a Screen from the furious and enraged Irish ) his surprizing and unexpected Kindness and Charity (inconsistent with the Politicks of War) to the vast Numbers of Women and Children in Londonderry; his wonderful Compassion to the Sick English Souldiers at Dundalk, when he was advis'd and importun'd by his Generals to break into the Camp, which had defeated Schomberg, and discouraged any other Attempt; and finally his leaving Dublin after his Defeat at the Boyne, without Suffering his Souldiers to burn or plunder it, are glorious and perpetual Monuments. And though the Bishop, who has learn'd to speak evil of Dignities, talks now at an insolent Rate, yet the Preacher of St. Warburghs had another Language; every Sunday almost presenting his Auditors with a Panegyrick upon King Iames's Virtues, and especially those God-like ones of Clemency and Mercy.
