A VINDICATION OF Moderate Church-men,

Our Archers that handle the Bow, shoot at three Marks: 1. The Pope, and his Legion. 2. The Dissenter, and his Divisions. 3. The Moderate Conformist.
They have shot through the Triple-Crown, pulled out his Eye, disarmed him of his two Swords, spoiled him of his Keys and Pontificals; in a word, as good as killed him, and buried him with White-bread, and the Popish Plot: Yet from an old Antipathy against him, we make an historical Remembrance of him; and that which remains of him alive, is confined to his own Territories, or so obnoxious to the Penalties of the Law, that he will keep away for his own Safety, or use a Temper, out of a sense of his Impotence and Interest. He cannot do us a Mischief, with any safety to himself.
