LETTER.

SIR,

I Do not wonder at your concern for finding an Order of Council published in the Gazette for Reading the King's Declaration for Liberty of Conscience in all Churches and Chappels in this King∣dom. You desire to know my Thoughts about it, and I shall fre∣ly tell them; for this is not a time to be reserved.

Our Enemies who have given our Gracious King this Counsel against us, have taken the most effectual way not only to ruin us, but to make us appear the Instruments of our own Ruin, that what course soever we take, we shall be undone; and one side or other will conclude that we have undone our selves, and fall like Fools.
