Some Notes on the Picture •••• prevent Popish Cavils.

A. Read Greens Tryal, page 16 and 17.
B. This is the famous Spright with the Chamber-pot, which did as cer∣tainly appear to the Popish Ladies, when they danc'd about the Body, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 'tis certain, it did afterwards appear to some True Protestant Ladies in the same place.
C. Hem, was the watch-word to Perry to open the Gate. See his Tryal, page 19.
D. and E. We may well suppose, the Devil help'd them when they pass'd invisible so close by the Centry: and we may be more assured, they could not without some Diabolical Art make him (after so many days being dead) bend his Legs to sit in the Chair, and then to stretch them out stiff again, as he was found on Prim∣rose-Hill.
F. The Jesuits most ingenious Game of Trap, which to understand you must read Bedloes Narrative of the Fires, p. 16. and 17. Read it throughout: 'Twill shew you plainly, how the Papists burnt London; or if you desire to be confirm'd in so nece∣ssary a belief by an undeniable Autho∣rity, read the new Inscription on the Monument, and that on the house in Pudding-Lane, which were purposely design'd to convince all the World of this Truth, and safely to convey it to Posterity.
G. See Langhorns Memoires, and L. C. J. Answer to Bedloes Articles.
H. The Dr. does not tell us, where these forty thousand Bills were made; but our reason tells us, that 'twas ve∣ry necessary they should be hamme∣red as privately as possible (for fear of Discovery) and therefore Bilb•••• and Salamanca, may pass far more probable than London or any Town in England.
