Title
A plot discovered: carried on boldly, these many years by false brethren against the new converts from popery to the protestant religion, in a book, entitled, The spirit of the French refugees manifested. Being a general and particular apology, &c. Wherein is set forth, the insolence and ingratitude, of the greatest part of the French refugees, towards the English, their benefactors; their domineering spirit and wickedness towards those unhappy converts, (their countrymen) and to all poor Protestant strangers in general; their fanatical discipline; their open endeavours to obstruct the glory of God; to engross to themselves his spiritual and niversal Kingdom; and to blast the indisputable honour of the charitable, beneficent, and zealous British Protestants. Humbly submitted to the consideration of the whole English nation; and particularly of the most illustrious and venerable clergy. By the Rev. Mr. John Baptist Denis, Llb, naturaliz'd here; formerly Priest; Prebendary of the Chappel of our Lady of Dom Germain, in the Diocese of Toul in Lorrain, Curate of Germé, and of two other villages annexed to it; afterwards chaplain and secretary to the Bishop of Meaux; now Cardinal de Bissy..
