A loyal oration giving a short account of several plots, some purely popish, others mixt; the former contriv'd and carry'd on by Papists, the latter both by Papists and also Protestants of the High-Church Party, united together against our Church and State: As also of the many Deliverances which Almighty God has vouchsaf'd to us since the Reformation. Compos'd by James Parkinson, formerly Fellow of Lincoln College in Oxford, now chief Master of the Free-School of Birmingham in Warwickshire, and spoke by his Son on the 10th day of December, 1716. And now Publish'd at the Request of Captain Thetford, Captain Shugborough, and several other Officers of the Prince's own Royal Regiment of Welch Fusileers, and other Loyal Gentlemen. To which is annex'd by way of postscript, the author's letter to the Reverend Mr: Higgs Rector of St. Philip's Church in Birmingham, who upon hearing this Loyal Speech was so displeas'd and nettl'd with it, and particularly with that Passage in it that relates to bidding Prayers which he constantly uses, that on the Sunday following he could not forbear reviling the Author in his Sermon, calling the Speech a scurrilous Discourse, and the Composer thereof a Slanderer and Calumniator
