[By Thankful Owen.] pp. 82, 4to Lond. 1679 Mr. Thankful Owen designed a book for the press, which he entitled Imago Imaginis; the design of which was to shew, that Rome Papal is an Image of Rome Pagan.

The resemblance between Paganism and Popery has been often adverted to by writers on the Romish controversy, but the chief works devoted expressly to the illustration of it are the following: Du Pré's Conformity of Ancient and Modern Ceremonies, translated from the French, 1745; Stopford's PaganoPapismus, or an Exact Parallel between Rome-Pagan and RomeChristian, in their Doctrines and Ceremonies, published in 1675; ELKOV тоν Onρtov, or the Image of the Beast, by Delaune, the well-known Nonconformist, 1684; Middleton's Letter from Rome, showing an exact Conformity between Popery and Paganism, or the Religion of the present Romans derived from that of their Heathen Ancestors; Popery the Religion of Heathenism, by Ignotus [J. Poynder], published in 1818, which contains along with a summary of the conformity of Popery to Ancient Paganism, a full proof of its similarity to Modern Hinduism; Poynder's Alliance between Popery and Paganism. The Abbé de la Berthier, the author of the following treatise, was a prisoner in the Bastile, and being asked why he troubled himself to write against the Constitution Unigenitus, made answer that he took Priest's Orders with no other view than to preach and defend the Truth which is wounded by that Constitution; that if his enemies pleased they might put him to death, which he was resolved to suffer rather than retract one tittle of what he had written. "A Parallel of the Doctrine of the Pagans, with the Doctrine of the Jesuits; and that of the Constitution Unigenitus issued by Pope Clement XI. Divided into several chapters and sections, shewing the contrary Sentiments of the Pagans and Jesuits. Translated (by Stephen Whatley) from the Original printed in France. To which are added, Copies of the said Constitution, and of the 101 Propositions of Father Quesnel thereby condemned." 8vo Dubl. 1726 .... It is here proved that the Jesuit authors have advanced infamous principles in regard to almost every department of duty, which had been denounced even by Heathen writers. See also The Jesuits Morals [by Anthony Arnauld] translated from the French, fol. Lond. 1670. To the list given above may be added Francis De Croy's Harmony of the Romish Church with Gentilism, Judaism, and ancient Heresies.

The Publisher to the Reader. "The Malignity of the times, and the Disasters ensuing thereupon for above these Forty years, have been too pernicious to be soon forgot. There are none so ignorant who have not heard of the Defeat of his Late Majesties Army by the Rebels at Worcester on the 3d of September 1651. And of the then Preservation of His Sacred Life and Person by the care and fidelity of his Catholic Subjects, of whom I acknowledg myself the most unworthy. In this sad Conjuncture it was that the desolate King after having been harassed to and fro, night and day in continual fatigues and perils, from Wednesday the Day of the Battel till Sunday following (the particulars of which are out of the sphere of my present design to enlarge upon) at last found an Asylum and Refuge at Mr. Whitgrave's House at Moseley in Staffordshire, whither Divine Providence not long before brought me, and where I had first the Honor of Attending upon him. During this Retreat, whilst Mr. Whitgrave, his Lady, and Mother, (who alone of all the Houshold were Privy to the Secret) were often busied in watching and other discharges of their Duty towards his Accommodation and Safeguard, His Majesty was pleased to entertain himself for the most part with me in my chamber, by perusing several of my Books, amongst others he took up this present Treatise then a Manuscript, lying on the table : of a Closet adjacent to my Chamber. He read it; He seriously considered it, and after mature deliberation pronounced this Sentence upon it (viz.) I have not seen any thing more Plain and clear upon this subject the Arguments here drawn from Succession, are so conclusive, I do not conceive how they can be denyed," &c. &c. Richard Hudleston was the youngest son of Andrew Hudleston of Farrington Hall in Lancashire. John Hudleston was a younger brother of the renowned family of the house of Hutton-John, in the county of Cumberland. Among "the Boscobel Tracts relating to the Escape of Charles II. after the Battle of Worcester," &c. &c., is Whitgreave's Narrative. For a relation of the reconciliation of Charles II. to the Church of Rome, see also Lingard, vol. x. p. 109; Macaulay, vol. i. pp. 434-436, who adds, "I have seen in the British Museum, and also in the Library of the Royal Institution, a curious broadside containing an account of the death of Charles. It will be found in the Somers Collection. The author was evidently a zealous Roman Catholic, and must have had access to good sources of information. I strongly suspect that he had been in communication, directly or indirectly, with James himself. No name is given at length, but the initials are perfectly intelligible, except in one place. It is said that the D. of Y. was reminded of the duty which he owed to his brother by P. M. A.C.F. I must own myself quite unable to decipher the last five letters. It is some consolation that Sir Walter Scott was equally unsuccessful. Since the first edition of this work was published, several very ingenious conjectures touching these mysterious letters have been communicated to me; but I am convinced that the true solution has not yet been suggested." Ibid. pp. 437-438. The true solution has doubtless been supplied in Notes and Queries (2nd series, vol. i. pp. 110, 247), from Memoirs of the Rev. John Huddleston, reprinted in 1816."P[ere] M[ansuete] A C[apuchin] F[riar], Confessor to the Duke." A copy of this contemporary broadside will be found, No. 1120, in the collection of Proclamations, Broadsides, Ballads, and Poems, presented to the Chetham Library, Manchester, by James O. Halliwell Esq., F.R.S. C. L. 13. Reasons of her leaving the communion of the church of England, and making herself a member of the Roman catholick church. Written by her grace the Duchess of York, for the satisfaction of her friends. pp. 6. Prefixed are Charles the Second's Papers, pp. 8. "James now (1686) took a step which greatly disconcerted the whole Anglican party. Two papers, in which were set forth very concisely the arguments ordinarily used by Roman Catholics in controversy with Protestants, had been found in Charles's strong box, and appeared to be in his handwriting. These papers James showed triumphantly to several Protestants, and declared that, to his knowledge, his brother had lived and died a Roman Catholic. One of the persons to whom the manuscripts were exhibited was Archbishop Sancroft. He read them with much emotion, and remained silent. Such silence was only the natural effect of a struggle between respect and veneration. But James supposed that the Primate was struck dumb by the irresistible force of reason, and eagerly challenged his Grace to produce, with the help of the whole episcopal bench, a satisfactory reply. Let me have a solid answer, and in a gentlemanly style; and it may have the effect which you so much desire of bringing me over to your Church.' The Archbishop mildly said, that in his opinion, such an answer might, without much difficulty, be written, but declined the controversy on the plea of reverence for the memory of his deceased master. This plea the King considered as the subterfuge of a vanquished disputant. . . He ordered these tracts to be printed with the utmost pomp of typography, and appended to them a declaration attested by his sign manual, and certifying that the originals were in his brother's own hand. James himself distributed the whole edition among his courtiers and among the people of humbler rank who crowded round his coach. He gave one copy to a young woman of mean condition whom he supposed to be of his own religious persuasion, and assured her that she would be greatly edified and comforted by the perusal. In requital of his kindness she delivered to him, a few days later, an epistle adjuring him to come out of the mystical Babylon, and to dash from his lips the cup of fornications."
