FN 259 A Letter to a Friend concerning a French Invasion to restore the late King James to his Throne, and what may be expected from him should he be successful in it, 1692; A second Letter to a Friend concerning a French Invasion, in which the Declaration lately dispersed under the Title of His Majesty’s most gracious Declaration to all his loving Subjects, commanding their Assistance against the P. of O. and his Adherents, is entirely and exactly published according to the dispersed Copies, with some short Observations upon it, 1692; The Pretences of the French Invasion examined, 1692; Reflections on the late King James’s Declaration, 1692.  The two Letters were written, I believe, by Lloyd Bishop of Saint Asaph.  Sheridan says, “The King’s Declaration pleas’d none, and was turn’d into ridicule burlesque lines in England.”  I do not believe that a defence of this unfortunate Declaration is to be found in any Jacobite tract.  A virulent Jacobite writer, in a reply to Dr. Welwood, printed in 1693, says, “As for the Declaration that was printed last year. . .  I assure you that it was as much misliked by many, almost all, of the King’s friends, as it can be exposed by his enemies.”
