The Satires of Dryden By John Dryden, John Churton Collins

The Satires of Dryden By John Dryden, John Churton Collins: "generally the prejudice against Papacy was strongest All now began to centre on this question and two great parties were formed The one party insisted on the exclusion of the Duke of York from the right of succession on the ground of his religion These were the Petitioners afterwards nicknamed Whigs and the Ex clusionists their leader was the Earl of Shaftesbury The other party strongest among Churchmen and the aristocracy were anxious partly in accordance with the theory of the divine right of kings and the duty of passive obedience and partly with an eye to their own interests to please the king by supporting the claim of his brother These were the Abhorrers afterwarHs nicknamed Tories The object of the Exclusionists was to inflame the populace against the Papists For this purpose the infamous fictions of Gates and his accomplices were accepted and promulgated "
