ONCE OWNER OF NEW JERSEY
Driven From Kingship. Battle of the
BOyne, Final Battle For English
Professionalism

People read in the daily newspapers
that Orangemen who have lodges cele-
brated July II. The lodgemen consist
mostly of Scotchmen, Scotch-Irish and
their descendants. Small accounts are
given in the papers. When asked what
it means, the seeker of information IS
dismissed with the slight answer that
it was a little family squabble in the
Kings family in Great Britain.
On July u, 1890, the battle of the
Boyne was fought at a small stream
in Ireland, when the army of William
and Mary beat the army Of James ii,
who was driven out of Great Britain
and lived the balance of his days in
France.
James II became King after the death
of his brother, Charles II, 1855. After
the death of Oliver Cromwell, Charles
II became King in 1860, known as the
restoration after Puritan rule for fiji
teen years.
Price of New Jersey
Notwithstanding the Dutch owned
New York and New Jersey and the
lands bordering on the Hudson and
Delaware rivers, King Charles IL
granted to his brother, James, Duke
OF York, (who became James II, King
of Great Britain, 1855 to 5000 all the
main land from st. CroiX river
(Ganada) to- the east side of the Del
aware bay and river, March y, 1864,
rendering unto his majesty, his heirs
and assigns yearly, forty beaver skins
when they shall be lawfully demanded.
Charles II sent James II, Duke of
York. over with a fleet and took charge
of New Amsterdam and changed the
name to New York, which it has had
ever since. 1t did not matter that the
Dutch owned it and it was under the
rule of Holland, James took it by con-
quest.
June "a, 1864, James, Duke of York,
sold the land between the Hudson and
Delaware river to Lord Berkeley and
George Cartaret, said land is here
after to be called Nova Casaria or
New Jersey, yielding therefore yearly
twenty mobiles, lawful money Of New
England if demanded.
The deed of every land owner in
New Jersey begins legally with the
grant of Charles ii to James, Duke of
York.
Effects of Change
Before Charles lis restoration the
people in the colonies largely govern
ed themselves. Massachusetts had a
charter to allow town meetings and a
written constitution. Charles under
took to suppress democracy and de-
stroy their constitution by sending over
a royal governor, Edmund Andres, and
judges were sent oven and odious laws
on trade and commerce enacted. When
James II, Duke of York, became King
in 1853, he adopted the colonial policy
Of his brother and continued to demoi-
ish the cherished democratic institu-
tons of the people. Charles IL was a
Catholic secretly and connived quietly
to restore the popish customs and au-
thorities.
Charles was bribed into his course
by the bright Louis dor, of France,
and by the still brighter eyes of sew
eral new French mistresses." Kings
were influenced largely by paramOurs
who went to confession and were in
structed by the priests and the priests
by the bishops. The same method is
used for political purposes today.
King Charles had persons imprison-
ed on his say-so and confined foryears.
The PuTitans had passed thru Parlia-
ment the Habeas Corpus act, later
in the L. S. Constitution. 1t is
the right of every man arrested to
have the charge stated in his warrant
read to him and the right to be heard
before the Court within a few days
confinement. 1t repeated the rights
of freemen in the Magma Charta.
Roman Catholic king has op-
posed Habeas Corpus and every pope,
and priest is trained in mind
and education against it because both
are educated and trained to think and
in the terms of absolute monarchy
That is their system.
The contrary is Puritanism in Amer
icanism, the right of freemen.
One of the men King Charles had
imprisoned for years was John Bun
yon, a Baptist, who wrote that i'm
mortal book, pilgrims Progress"
History tells US that Charles II
spent his very last Sunday of his life
among bad companions, playing cards
and listening to idle songs. Just after
this came a stroke of apopleXy, and
while he lay dying on his bed, he sent
for q Roman Catholic priest and was
received into the Church Of Rome, in
which he had really believed most of
his life though he had never dared
to oWn it, for fear of losing his crown.
Thus he escaped purgatory.
James IL openly joined the Roman
