Abstract
Published anonymously, this pamphlet claims to be the second part to Elkanah Settle's anti-Catholic pamphlet. In fact the author was John Phillips, nephew of John Milton, and he was employed by Titus Oates to pen the work in an effort to discredit Settle and his political stance. Although Phillips was later investigated for his involvement in the Popish Plot, he escaped punishment.
