ABSTRACT
That the following piece may justly be rank’d among the latter, will, I believe, be readily granted by all judicious readers. ’Tis the history of a man who was as remarkable for the uninterrupted calamities of his life, as his father for his continual successes. One, who tho’ son to a man, that from an obscure condition, broke his way to the throne, and maintain’d himself peaceably in it; was yet expos’d to all the rigours of fortune; and so barbarously us’d by him who gave him birth, that he became one of his most inveterate enemies, and went over to King Charles II.
