His works played a key role in the emergence of a distinct 'Tory' bloc during the <a href="/wiki/Exclusion_Crisis" title="Exclusion Crisis">Exclusion Crisis</a> of 1679–81.

Despite serving as an MP from 1685 to 1689 his stock fell under James II's reign as his staunch hostility to religious <a href="/wiki/Nonconformist_(Protestantism)" title="Nonconformist (Protestantism)">nonconformism</a> conflicted with James's goals of religious tolerance for both Catholics and Nonconformists.

Writers such as <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Marvell" title="Andrew Marvell">Andrew Marvell</a> attacked what they saw as growing Catholic and tyrannical tendencies at Court. Marvell coined the phrase 'Popery and Arbitrary Government' in a 1677 polemic which argued that excessive Catholic influence at court would lead to a 'Catholic' system of government based on superstition and tyrannical repression.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This played on contemporary Anglo-Scottish worldviews which relied on a construction of Catholicism as essentially foreign, tyrannical, and irrational or superstitious.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The failure of Charles II's foreign policy in the <a href="/wiki/Third_Anglo-Dutch_War" title="Third Anglo-Dutch War">Third Anglo-Dutch War</a> and the ensuing <i>rapprochement</i> with the Netherlands aligned English politics against France, while figures like Marvell feared Charles II saw <a href="/wiki/Louis_XIV" title="Louis XIV">Louis XIV</a> of France as a role model for absolutist rule.

L'Estrange had damaged his case with works such as <i>Citt and Bumpkin</i> which employed the language of anti-Court rhetoric for his own ends, and ultimately a 1680 Council of State hearing focused more on his reputation than on the substance of the Popish Plot.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Oates's increasingly deranged accusations discredited his plots by the end of 1681 while attempts to replace the Duke of York as heir with the Duke of Monmouth likewise failed. This period represented a major victory for the pro-Court faction, becoming known as 'Tories', but L'Estrange found himself increasingly out of favour. </p><p>In 1681 L'Estrange founded <i><a href="/wiki/The_Observator" title="The Observator">The Observator</a></i>, a single sheet printed in double columns on both sides. It was written in the form of a dialogue between a Whig and a Tory (later Trimmer and Observator), with the bias on the side of the latter. During the six years of its existence, L'Estrange wrote with a consistent fierceness, meeting his enemies with personal attacks characterised by sharp wit. One of his main targets was Titus Oates, whose false allegations eventually brought about his conviction for perjury in 1685.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELee1893_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee1893-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <i>Observator</i> was no longer a mouthpiece for the Court, but represented a provincial Toryism appealing to staunch former Cavaliers like L'Estrange who felt embittered by the Court's pandering to Oates, equivocation towards Whigs, and failure to reward their loyalty. After years dedicated to suppressing the press, L'Estrange began writing a periodical aimed at a mass audience. He maintained an educational and paternalistic stance, arguing the paper was necessary to 'set the masses right' after seditious printings had turned them against their natural superiors.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The dialogue format lent itself to being read aloud in public spaces, while the aggressive diatribes amused an audience who above all revelled in the drama and vitriol of Restoration politics. The execution in 1681 of the hardline Whig pamphleteer <a href="/wiki/Stephen_College" title="Stephen College">Stephen College</a> filled L'Estrange with ill-concealed glee and emboldened him to settle old scores as Titus Oates was increasingly the prime subject of his attacks.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Throughout this period L'Estrange argued that there was no Popish Plot, with the only conspiracy being a Nonconformist one of the sort depicted in <i>Popery in Masquerade.</i> </p><p>The discovery of the <a href="/wiki/Rye_House_Plot" title="Rye House Plot">Rye House Plot</a> in 1683 filled L'Estrange with a powerful sense of vindication as several leading Whigs were implicated in an assassination plot against Charles II.
