that it is the very same which hath followed the whole
Family for many Generations. For, King James his Father
(if we may say the Lord Darnly was his Father) was
hang'd in Scotland, and by the consent (or rather conspiracy
of his own Wife, who was King James his Mother.
This Mother of King James (Mary Queen of Scots) was, as
well as his Son Charls, beheaded in England; K. James himselfe,
and his eldest Son Henry, more then suspected to be
both poysoned. His daughters Husband, the Prince Elector,
with her self and Children, were driven out of all; his Favourite
(and the Common-wealths Traitor) Buckingham stab'd.
Now if we reckon for yong Tarquin by the Mother's side, we
find her Father an Apostate, stabb'd; her Mother (known
heretofore in England, by the hatefull name of the Queen-mother)
was banish'd being a Traitor to her own son, lived
upon charity, by roving up and down from Country to
Country, and the Place was noted unfortunate afterwards,
where ever she came: she dyed in exile, an Incendiary, detestable
to God and man. What the ends of the present Tarquin's
will be, God only knows, but you may guesse by their
Courses.
Charls Tarquin, being already a Catholick, swore he would
turn Turk too, but he would be revenged upon the English;
James Tarquin is to be a Cardinall; and Rupert Tarquin is as
good as the best in the Bunch, having beene a Thiefe
in two Elements, and a Runagate in divers Countries. All
which being considered by our Brethren of London and others,
they can have little confidence in a Cause, that admits
of a Combination with that wretched Family.

YOu may remember, that yesterday, in my last, I gave an
Accompt of a Letter, dated from Paris, Sept. 10. new stile;
but not having room to insert all Particulars, I shall now
give you the Remainder.
The ordinary Royall Newes from Holland, of a great Victory
obtained by the Scots, hath not been wanting this
