Turba Tortum digna sequl potius quam ducere Funem. Hor. HE Wisdom of the Parlia- ment being at present em- ployed in endeavouring to relieve the Miseries of the People, by Support of Pub. lick Credit, I shan't presume to say any thing upon that Point; but shall only' send you some few Thoughts cOn- cerning those Persons who have destroyed that Credit, and who I hope to see meet with a Punishment propor- tioned to the Calamity they have brought upon us. To triumph over People in Misfortunes, to insult the Dejected, to stab the dead A- chilles, whose very Name, when living, was a Terror, is the_ most ungenerous Behaviour m the World; but, I believe,' I may freely speak my Mind in Relation to those Persons, without the least Fear of any Friend to them, either justify- ing their Behaviour, or censuring mine. ' Twas a Custom in Sparta to encourage dextrous and suc- cessful Rogues, but severely to punish any that were ap- prehended in the Fact. Successful Villainy has no where met with greater Applause than in this Nation our Allies abroad, who have constantly abused and cheated us, are our dearest Friends still, and triumphant Iniquity has had a long uninterrupted Course at home. The Impunity, and perhaps Applause, other Betrayers of their Country have acted with, was no small Encouragement to those Gentlemen, who, I don't doubt, will quickly be recorded with that most odious Character. The Foxes, who have so long fatned upon our Stores, must never hope to escape, till reduced to their first spare Condition, and then, perhaps, not with a whole Skin ; they who have so abused our good Nature, should feel the Weight of our Resentment. The Calamity they have brought upen us, will allow them no Place of Refuge. The just Indignation of the Populace will never suffer them At home, and they resemble too much the Missisippians to meet with any Favour in France ; and our good Allies will be very unwilling to shelter these Men abroad, by whose Means alone they will now be forced to fight their own Battles, pay their own Troops, and even Support the publick Expence out of their own publick Coffers ; in short, by whole Means they have lost the Assistance of so rich and profusely generous a Friend as England has always proved to them.. There is nothing can be a stronger Evidence of the great Injustice of those Persons, than that the collected Body of the Nation, the Parliament, should be the only Power able to resist them ; nothing can convince us more of the great Calamity they have brought upon us, than that the Parlia- ment it self can only slightly cover the deep Wounds they have made. Common, though great Villains, are within Reach of the Law and though Lawgivers have sometimes made no provison against monstrous enormous Crimes, as thinking it impossible for Man to be guilty of them, That surely was never any Reason for letting such Offenders escape. Robbing a Man of the least Part of his pro perty is within the very Letter of the Law, and the Intent of that Law being to protect us in our Property, support So- ciety, and extirpate the Disturbers of it, must necessarily included from Persons who have had do little Compassion as to defraud the whole Nation of its All, its whole Property. Kings have been forced to fly and abdicate for less Offences, for lighter Oppressions; and shall Directors escape ? Shall we dethrone our Monarchs, who have an Hereditary Power over us, and were sometimes thought to be above Law, and not capable of doing ill, and suffer Subjects ( the lowest and most, infamous Subjects !) to go unpunish'd for the same Crimes? ' A Man who endeavours to alienate the Affections of the People from the Crown, or makes any Attempt,- tho' never so wild, never so unconcerted, in favour of the Pretender+ suffers Death by the standing Laws of the Land ; venture to say, that had the Directors been profess'd non- jurors ( Men whose unhappy, but aVowed Principle it is to endeavour to overturn our present constitution) they could no way have concerted a more effectual Method of under- mining our present Government, and advancing their own Cause. Too many were the Disaffected before this Misfor- tune befel us and People who are very well settled in their Allegiance to the Crown, even when there is no Competi- tor, no Rival, when oppressed with Misery and- Poverty, can scarce refrain from reflecting for publick Calamities, upon that Person in Whose Reign they suffer thein. The Misery of our Nobility and Gentry, the encreased Wretchedness of our Poor, speak in too loud Strains not to have reach'd every Ear ; and, I believe, our Credit abroad is always sound pro- portioned to our Condition at home. If then Poverty at home, and the Consequence of that Discredit abroad, prove the Result of this bold Iniquity, every one must confess, that the Authors of it strike at the Foundation of our Constitu- tion ; that they whosc Credit and Reputation was design'd as an invincible Bulwark against the Pretender, have open'd the widest Breach for him to enter at. _ I wish there was any one in that infamous Number who could be able in any Degree to clear his Reputation; but, I'm afraid, the kindest excuse that can be found for any of them will be, that they, out of Supineness or Folly, promo- ted or suffered what others had Villainy enough to contrive ; for, I must own, there are same of that Body whose com- mon Character will clear them of having any Manner of Design ; but I can, by no Means, think this a sufficient Ex- cuse ; the Consequence of their Neglect is the same to the Nation as the others Villainy; and the not opposing Trea- son is promoting it ; every Member is equally answerable for the Breach of a Joint- Trust : The very Design in the Institution of Bodies corporate, is, that it may not be in the Power of some Few to oppress the Whole ; that the In- tegrity and Vigilance of Some may be a Curb and Balance to the Rest. A Man who accepts of a Joint Publick TRUST and never interferes in the Management of it, is guilty of a very high Misdemeanor, though no Misfortune attend than Neglect ; and shall any who have all along shared in the Glory, and been Partakers of the Spoils of this successful Ini- quity, be distinguished in the Judgment that attends such daring Adventures. Aggregate bodies are like the Idol in the Scriptures, which, though cOmposed of Gold,_ Silver Lead SATURDAY January 21. 1721. ;. Lead, and several other ordinary Materials, yet each contri- bute to the Support of the Body. Had, indeed, the honest Endeavours of Some proved ineffectual; had a villainous Ma- jority over- powered the Rest, the: Infamy and Reward must then have light on their Heads ; but had any of the Preston Gentlemen, who was never forced into Arms, and had never during the time of Action, shewed any publick Dislike of the Cause he was ingaged in, pleaded Ignorance of his De- sign, I believe it would have proved of little Service to him, unless the Folly of his Plea had convinced the Government, that there was no Danger in overlooking such an Offen- der. A Man who lends his Sword to another to commit Mur- der, is himself guilty of it ; - and those Persons who have suffered others to make use of the Power entrusted with them to such villainous Ends, are equally answerable for the Con- ferences of it, as if they had joined themselves in eve- i shall only add one thing further, that the World may rest satisfied in their Hopes of seeing those Offenders pu- nished according to their Actions. The Power of the Com- mons delegated to the present Committee, will, no doubt, be exerted. Those Gentlemen will pursue the Iniquity, let it run never so far ; they will discover the Head of the Spring through its infinite Meanders and Windings. There is no one too great or powerful for them ; and, I doubt not, but as their Power, fo their Justice, will reach eVen to the highest ; and, if what has been observed in the House fshould prove true, that there have been Villains who have not been Directors : If they have been the Tools and Instruments of illustrious Traytors, we may justly hope, that those Men whose Crimes have reduced them to an Equality with the lowest Offender, will be blended in one common Punish- ment ; that they will not so far distinguish the Traytors, that while small Rogues are sent to Newgate, great Ones shall be only turned out of their Places. There is no Defence those guilty Wretches can make, but what must convict them, their numberless ill- got Wealth, which, at one View, is sufficient to condemn them, is, I be- lieve, the only Means by which they hope to escape ; the most covetous of them all would gladly distribute one half to secure with themselves the Possession of the other : But, I hope, we are not all of Directors Spirits, to ruin the Na- tion ourselves, or suffer those who have, to go unpunish'd, out of private Interest. There are some, I hope, who dare resist this Almighty Golden Shower, and won't suffer the - very Crimes of these Men to be their Protection ; though how seldom this happens, the Observation in the following Story, with which I shall conclude my Letter, will sufficient- ly testify. A certain great Minister, who was called to Ac- count by his Successors for embezzling the publick Money, to a prodigious immense Sum, a Sum so great that nothing but his Life was thought a sufficient Attonement. In these Circumstances an intimate Friend questioned him, with some Freedom, Whether he had cheated the Publick of so great a Sum ? and, upon his Denial of the Fact, said, I am sorry for it ; for, if you had got so large a Sum, you might have escaped, but now you'll certainly be hang'd. pHILO BRITANNUS. SIR, THE Holy Scriptures being the only Rule of our Faith, the only certain Guide in the Affairs of eternal Salva- tion, nothing can be more useful than to shew what is the best Method of discerning the true Sense of those sacred Writings, and attaining a right Understanding of the Will of God therein contained. If we follow a false Light, or make use of wrong Means, we may turn this Heavenly Food into Poison, and make what was given us for our Preservati- on from damnable Heresies, an Occasion of falling into them. We cannot therefore be too cautious in this Affair, nor guard too much against that Presumption and Self- sufficien- cy, which tempts us to imagine, that bare Reason, unassisted by any other Help, is sufficient to fathom all the Depths of the Oracles of God. The Authors of the Independent Whig have in many Pa- pers set themselves to establish this rash Assertion ; and by attributing to the Scriptures such a Perspicuity, as it is in Fact evident they have not, have given scope for the Cavils of the Enemies of Revelation, and Promoters of Deism. To prescribe to god how he ought to have revealed his Will, and to require those Things as necessary to every divine Revela- tion, which Experience evinces not to have been complied with in the Christian, can only serve the Cause of Atheism ; and I wish it was not so intended. The same prophane Complaints against God might with as much Justice be urg'd, because he has nor wrote the Scriptures in some universal Language, which the whole World might have understood Without precariousy depending on Human Translations ; and will be as conclusive for the Necessity thereof, as for the Necessity of the Scripture's being clear and intelligible ts the Reason of all Men, even of the meanest Capacities, without any Recourse to those Helps, which I shall now prove to be the surest Way. of attaining the true Sense thereof. To understand the true Meaning of any ancient Writing, we ought to be acquainted with the usages and Customs of the Time and Nation in which it was wrote, those Acci- dents and Circumstances which occasioned the Writing it, and ( since the Sense of Words is continually changing, the Meaning in which such and such Words were used at the Time when the Author flourished. Without a just Know- ledge of these Particulars, we can never have a true Under- standing of what was wrote near seventeen hundred Years ago; and it is highly unreasonable to expect to understand, the Writings of the New Testament, without a previous Knowledge of the Customs of the Apostolick Age, to which frequent Allusion is therein made of the Controversies then in the Church, which gave Occasion to the Writing of the Epistles, and to which the greatest Part of some of them wholly relates, and of the original Sig- nification of divers Words and Phrases, which now stand for far different Ideas- And of what Service can Reason be in this ? Of no other certainly than to dirsft us to look for these Things where only they are to be found, in the Wri tings of THE FATHERS. Ay, but, say our Independent Whigs, the Fathers were fallible as well as we. Who doubts it ? But what then ? we do net recommend them as infallible, but as Men who had better Opportunities of coming to the true Sense of Scripture than we ; they were nearer the Foun- tain Head, and conversed with the Apostles, or Apostolick Men, who must needs know the Mind of the divinely inspi- red Authors much better than we can at this Distance pre- tend to do We cannot suppose that the Apostles neglected to instruct their Disciples in the great Truths of Religion ; neither can we suspect that the noble Army of primitive Martyrs and Confessors wilfully would corrupt, a unfaith- fully transmit to Posterity the great Trust committed to them. And though some of them might have singular Opi- nions, that is no Objection, since it is not their own pri- vate Thoughts, but what they testify to have been the Do- ctrine and Practice of the Church in those early Ages that we recommend ; and this we rely on, in Justification of our forsaking the Romish Errors, not on the fallacious Dictates of a. private Spirit. They who prefer their own wild and extra- vagant Fancies to the Judgment of the Primitive Church, wrest the Scriptures to their own Damnation ; and I shall not scruple to say, in the Words of Archbidhop BRAMHALL one of our bedt Writers against Popery, That the promiscuous License given to all Sorts of People qualified or unqualified, not on- ly to read, but to interpret the Scriptures according to their private Spirit, or particular Fancies, without Regard to the Analogy of Faith, or the Interpretations of the Doctors of former Ages, is more pernicious both to particular Christians, and whole Societies, than the over, rigorous Restraint of the Romanists, Yours, & c. EUSEBIUS. As. it seems at present absolutely necessary to strike in with the Humour of the Times, we hope several of our wor- thy Correspondents, and especially the ingenious Mr. E. S. will not take it ill, that we for some time defer the Publica- tion of their Performances. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. We have had one Mail from France, and another from Holland, since our last: The former of which brings us a Confirmation of the Account we gave last Week of the De- livery of the Princess Sobieski, Consort of the Chevalier de St. George, who was lately brought to Bed at Rome on the 31st past, N. S. of a Son, to the inexpressible Joy of the whole Court there, which they testified by firing of Guns, Bon- fires, and innumerable other Illuminations, by publicld Thanksgivings and Congratulations usual upon the like Oc- casions. The Chevalier received the Compliments of the Court, and of all the Nobility, Gentry, and of most of the Foreign Minifters in Town. These Letters differ something in the Name of the Infant, but as those which are most Au- thentick; tell us, it is James Charles Edward Cazimir ; the lat- ter will at least prevail with us here, till more certain Intelli- gence arrives. They are something more favourable this Time, than they have been for several Posts last past in their Accounts of the Plague; and they assure us, that the new Constarnation the poor People were in from the Distemper's breaking out a- fresh, had, as is usual in such dreadful Circumftances, pre- cipitated them into the Belief of all the wild Reports that C 460- ) the Fears and Apprehensions of others had given Birth to upon that Head ; and that to these alone we owe the Ac- count of the Malady's having reached Toulon, from which we are since informed by most Authentick Letters, and by the concurring Testimony even of those who first raised the Ru- mour, that they have hitherto escaped, are now entirely free, and never yet had the least Appearance of any Infection a- mong them ; but the good News does not entirely end here, for they tell us also, that in all other Places, where the Dis- ease has appeared, it is again once more abated ; and they begin to hope that the Malignancy of it is at length effectu- ally exhausted : Tho' whether they may not be as much mistaken in this, as they have been in their other Intelli- gence, We must leave to Time to make out for us: and in- deed ' tis with some Diffidence we ought for the future to re- ceive their Information either Way, when ' tis considered what an Uncertainty those poor People are themselves in, with Relation to a true State of the Case, and how hard it is for them to come immediately to a right Knowledge of Things, where they can have little or no Intelligence : So that when they tell us much of the Abatement of their Af- fliction, we ought to make Allowances for their earnest De- sire of having it so ; or of the Increase of the Calamity, the same Concessions for the Frights of those who are in Danger of being affected by it. The private Affairs of the French are in much the same Condition as by our last ; tho' the little Alteration they have suffered seems for the worst. Their publick Stocks, their bank Bills, and, in short, the whole of their publick Credit is upon the Decline : They have tried innumerable Projects for their Relief, and new Essays' are made every Day ; but nothing has yet been found effectual or equal to the Great- ness of their Distress : Tho' some of their new Pilots, who seem indeed to have a desperate Game to play, continue to amuse the Populace with repeated Assurances of a speedy Delive- rance, and of a happy Restitution of their former flourishing Circumstances; which Assurances, tho' not fully believed, are yet acquiesced in, for Want of more probable Methods to fix their Hopes in. The Spaniards are endeavouring to make the most of their good Success in Africa, by pushing on the War there with the utmost Vigour and Application ; and in short, they seem to be uniting the whole Strength and Wealth of the Kingdom of Spain, to make that Undertaking effectual. Since the last Battle of the 21st past, the Marquis de Lede has re- ceived a Reinforcement of nine Thousand effective Men, all choice veteran Troops, and fit for Service, with an immense Quantity of Ammunition, Provision, and other warlike Stores ; so that at present he is fully supplied with all Things needful for the Expedition, and is much stronger than when he first landed, or before the first Battle there. But the Spa- niards, who seem at this Time of Day to have their Eyes per- fectly clear to their own Advantage, know that all this, and much more is requisite: They find that the Moors will give them no Rest, that they must dispute every Inch of Ground with them, and fight for it before they win it. They know they have a powerful, daring, or at least desperate Enemy to deal with, who will omit no Opportunity to break in upon, and harrass them. They see a mighty Empire ' drawn down upon them, and there's no Medium between Conquering and being Conquered; they must force their Way by the Sword, and deliver themselves from Death by the Destruction of their Opposers, or perish in the Attempt. These Things therefore appear at present to have their due Influences upon the Spanish Court, and they are marching their Troops down to the several Posts of the Kingdom, raising new Regiments, filling up the old, and amassing incredible Quantities of all Sorts of warlike Necessaries and Provisions, being resolved that their Army shall want nothing in their Power to pro- vide, that may contribute to their finishing with the utmost Honour and Glory, what they have already begun with so much Advantage and Reputation. The Accounts relating to Mr. Law are still very uncertain ; some tell us that he desigins for Venice, others for Home, and a third that he is gone for the Court of Vienna, 111 a publick Character from the Court of France, and charged with Af- fairs of the highest Consequence : But which of these, if any are to be depended upon, is as yet an entire Secret, and is like to continue fo till that Gentleman arrives at the End of his Journey, where the first Moment he begins to appear in any publick Manner, will put us past Conjecture, and'out of our Pain. They all of a sudden talk very hotly again oF forming the Congress of Brunswick, and of a Peace in the North, and assure us that the Muscovites are so ardently desirous of ac- commodating Matters with the Swedes, that they resolve to send their Ministers thither, and to accept of those Terms which Friends of both Sides shall determine, to be just and equitable ; but tho' these Things may in themselves be true, notwithstanding a Multitude of Probabilities to the contra- ry ; yet as we have not sufficient Authority to warrant them to our Readers as such, we shall only leave them with them, just as they are handed to us, and wait for future Intelli- gence to contradict or confirm them. In the same positive Manner they assure us, that all the Dis- ficulties which retarded the Treaty of Cambray, are at length fully adjusted and removed ; and that the Congress will be formed there in a few Days; but as this seems to a- rise but from little better Grounds than the former, it of Course merits Confirmation also, and meets with much of the same Credit. The Dutch have suffered extremely' by the, breaking in of the Sea upon them in the late tempestuous Weather, and besides the Damage done to their Dykes and Houses, many of which are entirely destroyed and washed away, a great Number of People have perished, Multitudes ' of all Sorts of Cattle have been drowned, and an immense Wealth in Goods and Merchandize destroyed : The Inundation was much more terrible than that at Christmas 1717. the Water flow- ing at least four Foot higher than it did then. They are still in the utmoft Distress upon this Account, the Country lying for many Miles covered with Water like a Sea ; and tho' they have summoned in all possible Help to their As- sistance, they will nor be soon able to relieve themselves, or reduce the Ocean to its just Bounds again.

On Tuesday Sir Randolph Knipe was sworn in Alderman for Bassishaw Ward, in the room of Sir Charles Cock, de- ceased, before the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen at Guildhall, and took his Seat among them accordingly. They are building at Deptford a new Man of War of 70 Guns, in the room of his Majesty's Ship the Burford, which was lost in the Mediterranean.

The same Day, early in the Morning, a Man driving a Cart loaded With Poultry, coming up from Essex to Leaden- hall Market, being sleepy, got into the Cart, and laid him- self down to rest, leaving the Team to go forward of them- selves ; but a Lanthorn with a lighted Candle therein fell down at Bow, and set the Straw 011 Fire; so that most of the Man's Clothes were burnt off his Back before he awak'd. and the Fire got to such a Head that the Cart was burnt, and some few of the Fowls that were saved, were so scorch'd, that they were worth little. On Tuesday Night Jonathan Wild the famous Thief- catcher, apprehended in Grace- church- street one john fil- wood, alias violet a notorious house- breaker, who re- turned lately from his Transportation, and robbed a Noble- man since at the Opera- House, of a Gold hilted Sword, a Present of the late King of Sweden ; there was in Company with him another Rogue, who escaped by the Favour of the Night ; but Wild brought the former before the Lord Mayor, who committed him to Prison.

They write from Lincoln, that at the late Election for a Knight of the Shire, there appeared for Sir William Massin- berg Bart, the greatest Body that ever had been seen together in that, or any other County upon such an Occasion. A cer- tain worthy Countess appeared on the same Side, at the Head of a Body of 400 Freeholders. The Anniversary Sermon, upon the Excellency and Use- fulness of the Liturgy, and- the most promising and hopeful Bulwark of the Protestant Religion, the Charity- Schools, will be preached by the Rev. Dr. Knight, at St. Sepulchre's- Church, on Wednesday next in the Forenoon, being the Fe- stival of St. Paul, . according to the Bequest of the late Mr. Paul Jarvis, deceased, and Treasurer, of the charity- School for boys within the said Parish, who amongst other Charities be- ' qut. y- W Forty Shillings for the Minister of the said Parish, ( or Some Doctor. in Divinity) annually to preach a Sermon en St. Paul's Day, on those two important and necessary Subjects beforementioned and also Forty Shillings to the said Boys School, and Five Shillings to the Master, and Twen- ty Shillings to the Charity- school of St. Dunstan in the West, and half a Crown to the Master, to be annually paid them for ever, on Condition the said Masters and Children attend the said Service and Sermon. And considering the Importance of the Subject, the Emi- nency of the Preacher, and the pious Intention of the Do- nor, ' tis humbly recommended to the several Treasurers, Trustees, the Schoolmasters and School- Mistresses of the Cha- rity- Schools within this City and Suburbs ; and also to all true Lovers of the Church of England, and the Charity- schools, that they would by their Pretence manifest their Endeavours, and ready Inclinations to encourage and pro- mote this good Design.
