POSTSCRIPT.
I Have just now seen H. Care's Paper, called, The Publick Oc∣currences, which came out to day, and cannot but set you right as to his News about the Reading of the Declaration on Sunday: He tells you, That several Divines of the Church of England, in and about the City, eminent for their Piety and Moderation, did Yester∣day Read His Majesty's late Declaration in their Churches, accord∣ing to the Order in that behalf; but some (to the great surprize of their Parishioners) were pleased to decline it. You in the Country are from this Account to believe, that it was Read here by the gene∣rality of the Clergy, and by the eminent Men among them: But I can and do assure you, that this is one of the most impudent Lyes that ever was printed: For as to this City which hath above a Hundred Parishes in it, it was Read only in Four or Five Churches, all the rest and best of the Clergy refusing it every where. I will spare their Names who Read it; but should I mention them, it would make you who know this City, a little heartily to deride H. C's. Account of them. And for the Surprize he talks of, the contrary of it is so true, that in Wood-street, where it was Read by one Dr. M. the People generally went out of the Church. This I tell you, that you may be provided for the future against such an impudent Lyar, who, for Bread, can vouch and put about the Nation, the falsest of things.
I am Yours.
