Fol. Ibid. And was after stiled Duke of York] Observator. Our Author here accomodates his stile to the present times, when the weekly Pamphlets gave the Prince no other Title then the Titu∣lary Duke of York. It is true indeed the second son of Eng∣land is not born to the Dukedom of York, but receives that Title by creation, &c.

Answer. How is it possible to escape the Observators lash? Had I said he was then stiled Duke of York, I had been out in my Temporalities, he being not created Duke of York till af∣terward: to avoy'd which Scylla, I inserted after, and fell upon the Charybdis of complying with weekly Pamphlets; what shall an honest Historian do in such a case?
