POSTSCRIPT.
I Have just now seen H. Care's Paper called, The Publick Occurrences, 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 this City, eminent for their Piety and Moderation, did yesterday Read his Majesties late Declaration in their Churches, according to the Order in that behalf; but some (to the great sur∣prize of their Parishioners) were pleased to de∣cline it.You in the Country are from this Ac∣count to believe, that it was Read here by the gene∣rality of the Clergie, 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 refu∣sing it every where. I will spare their Names who read it; but should I mention them, it would make you, who knows 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.
