APPEAL to the Eng- Abftrad of a lifh Nation; or The Mr JohnBody of the French Armand, Du Proteftants, and the honeft Profelytes, Appeal to the vindicated from the Calumnies caft on English Nathem by one Malard and his Affociates, tion, &c. in a Libel, entitled, The French Plot found out againft the English Church. With an Account of the prefent State of the French Churches in this Kingdom; proving their Uniformity with, and Esteem for the Church of England: And Confiderations proving the Invalidity of the Popish Priesthood, and the Neceffity of ReBbbb ordaining

ordaining Ecclefiaftical Profelytes, humbly offered to our Superiors. Also, a Pofticript in Answer to the Profelytish Hercules; with a fresh Discovery of Mr. Pillonniere's Affection to his Countrymen the French Refugees. By JOHN-ARMAND DUBOURDIEU, one of the Minifters of the French Church in the Savoy.

The learned and ingenious Author of this Pamphlet, whom we have mentioned more than once in the Course of this Political Journal, as a ftrenuous Affertor of Liberty, and of the prefent happy Settlement, has again exerted his Žeal in Defence both of his Countrymen the French Refugees, and of the venerable Reformers, against the infolent Attacks of two Profelytes, of unequal Fame, viz. the obfcure Malard, and the famous La Pillonniere.

In the first Place, Mr. Dubourdieu acquaints his Readers with the Reafons that prevail'd with him to answer Malard's fcurrilous Libel, which, indeed, is fo contemptible in it felf, and so stuff'd with vile Calumnies, and glaring Falfhoods, that he was fome time in fufpence, whether it was worth any Body's while to confute it. This being premised, Mr Dubourdieu examines, in the first Place, who are the Authors of that Libel; and fixes it on Malard, as the chief Contriver, and on Liegeois, and Alvarado, as his Affiitants, whole Pictures and Characters he gives us, in very bold Strokes and lively Colours, as follows:

Liegeois is a pert, jocofe, talkative Man, and Pretender to Learning: We must do him the Justice to acquaint the World, that fince Hypocrify hath been justly defined, an Homage which Vice outwardly pays to Firtue, he is certainly no Hypocrite; he acts overboard, and hath not, either for himself or his Neigh

bours,

bours, that Regard which obliges fometimes the most Vicious to abstain from the Appearances of Evil, he thinks Circumfpection in outward Behaviour is but foolifh Formality; and hath fet himself at an equal Diftance from the Innocence of the Dove, and the Prudence of the Serpent: He is a petit Maitre, (or a Rake) in a Clergyman's Habit; his Converfation confifts of lewd Tales, drefs'd up in the Language of the

Stews.

Alvarado, the demure-look'd Spaniard, at his firft coming into England, was welcom'd by the French Proteftants, carefs'd by the English, aud loaded with Favours by Dr. Thomas Teniton, our late Primate : But fuch an endearing Reception could not engage him. to stay long here; he soon after took a Trip into Spain, with an affected Secrecy, to create a Surmife, that he had been Kidnapp'd by the Agents of the Spanish In-. quifition, and so we did believe it for fome time, which occafion'd feveral Enquiries and Applications to Secretaries of State, and the Spanish Envoy, wherein his late Grace of Canterbury fhewed himself very Zealous: But whilst we were in pain for him, and bewailing his Condition, as if he had been nabb'd or made away with, by the Artifices of Popish Emiffaries, our Gentleman was, forfooth, enjoying himself in the comfortable Sunshine, and tafting the Sweets of his. delicious Native Country. Nevertheless, his natural Fickleness drove him out of his Native Air into this Kingdom again; infomuch, that when after a long Abfence, he was almost forgot, to the Amazement of all that knew him, he made a fresh Appearance in our Quarters; and though he gave but a lame Account of his Travels, he was re-admitted into Favour, which, however, he forfeited fome Months after, by making an open Profeffion of Quakerifm: Whether his Spanifh Gravidad difpofed him to the Stiffness and ForB b b b 2

mal

mal Airs of that Sect, I cannot tell, but Quaker hẹ turned; and not content with his own Change, he endeavoured to promote the Fanatick Brotherhood, by perverting Youths, under the Cover of Teaching them the Caftilian Language; and it is for this, his ApoStacy from the Church of England to a kind of Deifi, that he was razed out of the Lift: And, I hope, no Church of Englandman, that weighs the Cafe, will think him hardly dealt with; for fince a French Minifter was deprived of his Penfion, by the exprefs Command of our Superiors, for proftituting his Pen to the Tranflating into French fome Writings in defence of the Quakers, which probably he might do without leaning to their Principles: Will any Body think, that one who renounces the Communion of the Church of England, and makes a barefac'd Profeffion of Quakerifin, is unjustly excluded?

This Don, as appears, is an unparallel'd WeatherCock in Religion, a Man of fuch defultery Principles was fearce ever known; first a Papist, then a Proteftant, then a Papift again, then a Proteftant again, then a Quaker, and now return'd, I do not fay to the Religion, but to the Garb of a Church of England Minifter. Nay, we have fubftantial Evidence, that in the space of one revolving Day, this eternal Turncoat bath appeared alternately in a Quaker's and a Clergyman's Dress; tho' in reality, he be neither a Quaker nor a Church of England Minifter; he can be both fucceffively, to ferve a Turn and skrew a Penny. Every Garb he wears is a Masquerade Habit, and (I own it) fuch Dealing in Difguifes, may entitle him to Mr. Heidegger's Patronage, but certainly it can give him no Title to our Charity-Money.

So much for the Under-ftrappers; proceed we now to the Chief Engineer, or the head Perman of this Libel, Dr. Malard; and that he is a factious, refiles, noify's
