      nals b ^ iog shut up in the conclave by Philip , could not any otherwise agree upon the election of a Pope than by their joint referring it to the jingle voice of James D'Ossat , Cardinal and Bishbp of Port : he without any scruple at all named himself \ to the great astonishment of all the Conclave * who

      nevertheless approved of him ; * uid so he took the name of John XXII * and reigned quietly eleven year&or thereabouts , without ever having his lection questioned or doubted * This John the Two and Twentieth

      declared that the souls of the dead were neither happy nor miserable till the day of judgment ; which opinion was generally held in the former age . But the university of Paris ( says

      Clarendon , Relig . and JPoL i . 34 . ) having more exactly examined this point , corrected the Holy Father in it , as Mezeray says , and thereupon the king * Philip of Valoia , writ to the Pope in these terms : Clue s * il ne se retractoit

      JoJm Bradskaw . It is to this day problematical and can never be ascertained whether the bodies of Cromwell and JSradshaw were actually taken up and dishonoured at the Restoration . It is in secret tradition that J&radshaw was conveyed

      ta Jamaica . His epitaph is descriptive of him and full of spirit . In a public print of 1775 ^ it was said , The following inscription was made out three years ago on the cannon , near which the ashes of President Bradshaw were lodged on the top of a high hilly near Martha Bay * in Jamaica , to avoid the rage against the Regicides exhibited at the Restoration . Stranger 1 Ere thou pass * contemplate this Cannon , Nor regardless be told That near its base , lies deposited the Dust of JOHN BRADSHAW , Who nobl y superior to all selfish regards , Despising aftke the pageantry of courtly splendour , The Mast of calumny and the terror * of royal vengeance , Presided in the Iff usurious Band oi Heroes and Patriots , Who fairly and openly adj ^ d ^ d Charter ?

      Eighty Thousand Jacobins . In England and Scotland , I compute that those of adult age , not declining in Hfe 9 of tolerable leisure for such discussions , and of some means

      of information , more or less , and who are above menial dependance , may amount to about four hundred thousaud . Of these four hundred thousand political citizens , I look upon

      one-fifth , or about eighty thousand , to be pure Jacobins ; utterly incapable of amendment ; objects of eternal vigilance , and when they break out , of legal constraint . JBurhes Letters on a Regicide Peace .
