Tho I hope, and I heartily with, that Dr. Scot may prove a false Prophet as to what he predicts in this Paragraph of the direful Effects of a Religious Rebellion, yet should it happen (which God avert) that our Religion should at last smart for it, that it should be rooted out of the World, and have its dismal Funeral Exit (which some holy learned Men, who perhaps by the Spirit of Prophecy did foresee this wretched Rebellion, have predicted, as Dr. Plumè observes in his Preface to Dr. Hacket 's Sermon, Pag. 15. last Paragr.) whom may we thank for it, but these Members of the Church of England who have succeeded in their Rebellion, which the Doctor, and his prevaricuting Brethren, by false Oaths, wicked Prayers, and Setitious Anti-Gospel Preachings have promoted and abetted. But though the Argument which the Doctor suggests to a highly provoked Prince be so genuine and natural, as to put him upon the most tremondous Instances of Indignation and Revenge; yet 'tis not to be doubted, but that the Innocent, yea, and the Penitent too (if they are not too late so, like the harden'd Sinner who spurns at the Bowels of Mercy, and defies a Pardon, until the time of Justice, the hour of Vengeance surprize and overtake him) will find a kinder Usage from the Justice and Clemency of a Prince, who has signaliz'd himself to be a true English-man, a Father of his Country, and of the forgiving Race. |
