Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

SInce Bishops first began to ride in state , so neare the Crown , They have been aye puft up with pride , and rode with great renown : But GOD hath pull'd these Prelats down , in spight of Spain and Pope ; So shall their next Ecclipse be soon in England seen I hope . They thought their Saddles had been sure , when they began to sit , They did not care for Church , nor Cure , their Grandure was so great : Their Curpals was so closely knit , they would not take a tie ; Their Bridle bare so strong a bit , great marvaile 't was to see . The Snaffles serv'd them , I have seen , they rode not farre abroad : First from a Doctor to a Deane , they bare the Bishops rod. They car'd not for contempt of GOD , nor Church , nor Common-weale , That all this Land was overlode , while fortune turn'd their wheele . Their Snaffles shortly they forsook , for weaknesse to command , And then a Thrawner-bit they took , for to o'rthrow the Land : They never spar'd us spurre nor wand , which long we did indure ; They held not right the Bridle-hand , their Saddles were not sure . And then a Chaunter-bit they choos'd , as Chauncellour of estate , That none before , but one had us'd , which broke on Striveling gate : They did for dignitie debate , for none durst them controule , They would be Temporall lords of late , which they may now condole . Then for a French-bit long'd they fast , which curb'd proud Curfour kinde , Which they from Lambeth got at last , it was the Popes propine ; And mounted them so to their mind , in all their riding geare : But then began they to decline , and built up Babel here . But now that Bit their best delight , is broken with the rest : And so their Horse have cast them quite , which cannot be redrest . The Gallowes-bit would bide them best , if Reines they be not rotten ; The Saints of GOD whom they supprest , this glorious day have gotten . Since they their horse and harnesse Sold , come buy their Bridles here , That afterwards it may be told , who bought their Riding-geere . For this hath been a fatall yeare , for Prelates in this part , Then let these Romish Rogues retire , and seek some other art . Let NOVA SCOTIA keep them now , they 'r fittest for that place , For GOD and Man , could not alow to spare them longer space . Their dignities brought them disgrace , with damnable disdain ; Since Scotland rooted out that race , let them not grow againe : But now brave England be thou bent , to bannish all that brood And make your Lambeth Lad repent , that never yet did good ; But shamefully hath sought the blood of sakelesse Saints of GOD , Releeve your Lincolne , better lov'd , and set him safe abroad . And as for Irelands odious name , that hath indur'd so long , Their Tyrannie shall end with shame , albeit their state be strong ; For GOD will sure revenge their wrong , their Villany so vile , The heaven hath heard their sorrowing Song , and sighing all this while . So let the Devill goe Bishop them , as he hath done before , For never Man shall worship them in any Kingdome more : For Scotland that they crost so sore , shall now with gladnesse sing , And blesse him did our state restore , that was our Gratious King. THE PROPHESIE O 〈…〉 OLD SYBILLA , WHICH SECRETLY ●●E TOLD TOM MILLA . When Scotlands hundreth and ninth unconquered King. The sixteen hundred , thirty and ninth yeare , Into his age of thirty nine shall Raigne , Then shall the Papall overthrow appeare , Which all the Arts of Europe shall admire : For Scotland shall that blessed worke begin , Then shall the Whore of Babell , we had here , Be banisht quite , which Bishops did bring in . Then thou brave England which was led so blinde , By their perverse Episcopapall Pride , And Irelands shamelesse Superstitious sinne , Shall be supprest , wh● cruelly have cride ; So that that Sacred Prophetesse Sybilla , Shall shortly come to passe she tells TOM MILLA ; And TOM tells me , and I must tell 't againe , Through Scotland , England , Ireland , Fance and Spain .

DR . Oates . What a parcel of Rogues are assembled together here ? I 'll call the Mobb to gut them . King of France . Pray Dr. hold ; here 's a thousand Louis d'ors for thee . Great Turk . Come , thou lookst like a true Musullman ; here 's twenty Purses more . Dr. Oates . You Rascals and Scoundrels , I scorn your Money ; but oh ! There 's whiping Dr. Sherlock . King of France . I and my Ally Sultan , are both come in propriis Personis , to thank the Master of the Christian Temple for his late Book , which perhaps may do us more Service than all the Mercenary Pens of France , or than all our Dragoons and Janizaries . I have now God Almighty's Authority , and an irresistable Power in Lorrain , Franch Comte , Strasburgh , Treves , Flanders and Savoy ; though I confess , I ravish'd them away from their legal Owners , contrary to my own Oaths and sacred Treaties ; yet Heaven justifies me by her Oracle Dr. Sherlock , who proclaims to all the World , that Providence brought these things to pass , and that God has deputed me his Vicegerent with an uncontroulable Commission . The Lorrainers and Savoyards must now fight against God , if they fight against me or for their lawful Dukes . Great Turk . My Case is the same ; this Christian Priest has pleaded my Divine Authority over the Holy Land , and Christ's Sepulchre : If the Vizier had taken Vienna in the year 1683 , and had swallowed all the Roman Empire , where could have been the Perfidy , and the Treachery , which Christendom brands us Mahometans with , and which our Mufti has often thrown in our faces ; seeing the great English Apostle attributes all to Providence , and seals all Success with the Finger of God Almighty ? Upon our Settlement in Germany , the Natives had been oblig'd to bear Allegiance to us , and never to restore their Emperor and Electors . Dr. Oates . Pox , Catzo ; my Brother Dr. stole that School-boy's Notion out of Lucan ; Victrix causa dijs placuit : But yet the great Cato ( whom Sir William Temple might have plac'd in his immortal Essay of Heroick Vertue ) was of another Opinion , and could by no Flattery nor Promise , be brought to call Caesar a Ruler . If his Priests had told him , that the Gods had brought all that about , and that Heaven had Ordain'd and Commission'd Caesar to be Irresistible Emperor of Rome , how would his Vertue , and his Constancy , seated on the true brow of Majesty , have thrown disdain upon those vile Sycophants , and Betrayers of their Country ? Si quis potestatem Populi Romani laeserit , Is morte puniendus . Dr. Sherlock . Methinks , Gentlemen , you are very merry , and familiar , considering you are God's Representatives . How came that impudent Dr. of Divinity into your Company ? They are asham'd of him at Dick's , and the Temple Club , as Mr. Ph. informs me . Et cum nemini obtrudi potest , itur ad Deos. Dr. Oates . I do not trouble God Almighty half so much as thou dost ; I never call him down upon the Stage , to act in all Scenes and Revolutions of State , as thou dost every day : Thou makest him always the Harlequin and Scaramouchi of thy Farces ; a King cannot tread the Carpet , but all the Host of Heaven must be summon'd ; though thy King is one day Noakes , the next day Lee ; one day Christian , another day Turk , sometimes neither . Now , Brother Doctor , I never fill my head with these Chimerical , Fairy fancies of things done in Heaven , I look only upon Men and Things , upon Laws and Compacts ; whilst thou , poor man , dream'st in thy Study , all vapour'd with Hypocondriack Enthusiasm , tickled with Visions , or else swell'd with Envy , Pride or Ambition ; I drink Coffee amongst the Beaux Esprits , mores hominum video & urbes , and hear more truth in one day from those fellows you call Atheists , than from a 130 Pulpits in a Year ; they all believe in one God , are of no Sect , or Cabal , under no prejudice of Education or Interest , are neither Jews , Turks , nor Christians , but all Tamerlanes . French King. This Pillory-Doctor has the most Wit of the two ; I perceive he has had better Education : However Brother Sultan , the Visionary Doctor is for our purpose ; for he Damns the Huguenots now in Arms against me , all the Vaudoies , and all the Prince of Orang's Friends , who took up Arms against God's Authority ; but the Devil is in this Doctor , who at the same time runs down my dear Ally Teckely , and sets up my mortal Enemy Frederick William with God's Commission ; tho' that's my comfort the Doctor unmans the People of England , puts them all into Hell , takes away their Arms of Laws , and the Weapons of their Senate , destroys the basis of their State , Acts of Convention and Parliament , and sets the Prince up in a floating Enchanted Castle in the Air , built by Centaurs , Hobgoblin's , Bo's , Nick , &c. As for the Doctor 's new Commission from Heaven that he fastens to the Prince of Orange whether he will or no , I care not a rush for it ; my Friend James will soon cancel that , for he still retains his Right , and wants nothing but Possession . I 'le see next Summer what 120 Men of War , and 30000 Land-men will do ; but then this Divelish Doctor robs me of all the Glory , and of all the Power ; for Providence must do the feat , and James derive all his Authority from God ; no thanks to my Arms , or Money ; and the Doctor curses the People that shall offer to assist his Rightful Legal James ; so that in the main he breaks our heads , and then gives us a Plaister , and seems resolv'd to fall like a Cat upon his Feet : Sometimes he plays the Williamite , but in a fools Coat , sometimes the Jacobite under a Vizard ; sometimes he tells the People 't is Damnation to Fight for the Prince of Orange ; then a little while after 't is Damnation to Fight against him : 'T was Damnation in the Year 88 , to Fight against Jemmy ; and now 't is the same Sin to fight for him ; so that this famous Doctor plays the Merry Andrew with the World , and like the Powder of Pimper le Pimp , turns up what Trump the Knave of Clubs calls for . Dr. Sherlock . You Kings being Heavens Brats , may rail and do what you please ; I 'le Swear to Obey you all , if you were ten Thousand ; mount the Throne , and you are as much Jure Divino as I am in the Pulpit ; however take heed how you disgust me ; for at one Stroke I can utterly destroy both your selves and your Governments . Alamanzor , Scanderbeg , and all Sir William Temple's Hero's are but Pigmies to me ; I can command God Almighty to be of what side I please ; Heaven is my Foot-stool . I 'le undertake to make Captain Tom , the most Dreadful , the most Soveraign , and the most Divine Thing upon Earth . Dr. Oates . I would only know which way you would confer that Power upon him ; for why should not I convey it as well as you ? Will you send it in a Basket as a Token of your pure Love to absolute Soveraignty , or in a Billet Dieu , or in a Poulet as I us'd to do to the Nuns at Salamanca ? Dr. Sherlock . The two Sultans are gone ; Sirrah Oates avoid the Room , I 'le have no further Conference with an Anti-Athanasian Doctor . Dr. Oates . I 'le go when I think fit ; I believe all Creeds more than your new coin'd one of Allegiance ; so I dismiss thee with a Speque Metuque Procul hinc , procul ito , Hoque FINIS .

Hor. LONDON , Printed for C. R. 1679. SInce Holy Scripture it self is not exempt from being tortur'd and abus'd by the strainings and pervertions of evil men , no great wonder were it , if this small Poem ( which is but an illustration of a single , yet remarkable passage thereof ) be also subject to the like distortions , and mis-applications of the over-prying and under-witted of one side , and of the malicious on the other . But all ingenious and ingenuous men ( to whose divertisement only this Poem offers it self ) will be Garrantees for the Author , that neither any Honourable and just Judge can be thought concern'd in the Character of Arod ; nor any honest and veracious Witness in that of Malchus : And as by the singular care and Royal goodness of his Majesty ( whom God long preserve ) our Benches in this Nation are furnished with persons of such eminent Integrity and Ability , that no Character of a corrupt Judge can with the least shadow of resemblance belong to them , so is it to be wished , that also in all our Courts of Judicature a proportionable honesty and veracity were to be found in all Witnesses ; that so Justice and Peace might close in a happy kiss . Naboth's Vinyard . FLY hence those Siren-Charms of Wealth and Power , Strong to undo , unable to restore ; At first they tickle , but at last they smart , They please the Pallat , and corrode the Heart : To those gay Idols , which fond men adore , Our Christian Muse all Incense does abhor : Idols ! ( like hungry Moloch ) whose dire Food Too often is supply'd by Humane Blood ! That precious Juice which can , with Soveraign Balm , The War and Ferment of our Nature calm ; That can the Anguish of our Minds allay , Heal Wounds of Grief , and Storms of Passion sway ; That generous Off-spring of the healing Vine , I' th' Muses Temple may deserve a Shrine . But , hold , 't is not the Wine of common draft , Which Palma sends , or greedy Merchants waft From Rhenish Banks , or from the Gascon Shore , T' enrich themselves , and make the Drinkers poor ; Poor in their wasted ' states , poor in their Mind , Who in a Brutish Club with Swine are join'd , And greatest joy in stupefaction find : No , our exalted Taste disdains to feast On that dull Liquor , which turns Man to Beast . It must be nourisht with some spritely Juice , Which does our mortal Frame immortalise ; Defies the Arrows of malicious Fate , The People's Fury , and the Tricks of State. Quickly , ah ! quickly then , ( my Muse ) disclose The happy place , where this true Nectar grows . It is not Naboth's Vinyard ? Fame speaks loud Of thee , but louder of thy Master's blood ; That Hero's Blood , fed by thy vital Juice , Which did , when flowing in his Veins , despise The Womans Craft , the Tyrants Avarice ; The bloody Oaths of perjur'd Assassins ; The Frowns of byas'd Justice , which inclines The giddy Rabble to their Natural bent , With tongues , and hands to tear the Innocent . Achab had conquered Aram ; but , alas ! His very Conquest his Undoing was : He soon forgot the Hand , which did bestow Edge on his Sword , and Lawrel on his Brow. Proud with the Spoils of the slain Aramites , The Power , which gave him Victory , he slights : He treats , and bargains with his Enemies , And all the Covenants of his Lord defies . Achab distrest , bow'd to his Lord , and pray'd ; Achab victorious , proudly disobey'd ; Ungrateful Mortals ! whose corrupted Will Turns Grace to Poyson , and makes Blessings kill . In vain poor Subjects in the Justice trust Of Kings , that to their Maker are unjust ▪ The Heart once tainted with a Master-Sin , All lesser Crimes does easily let in . Poor Naboth's Vinyard next lies in his way , His covetous Eye had markt it for his Prey : He parly'd first ; but what he could not worm By Treaty from him , he resolv'd to storm . " How ( Sir ! ) can you think worthy your large Soul , " To crave my spot of Land , my sleeping-hole ? " ( Says Naboth ) I my self should prize it not , " Were it not sacred made by Age and Lot ; " By Lot consign'd to my Fore-fathers hand , " Who first with Joshua seis'd this Holy Land : " 'T were Sacriledge in me to give , or sell , " What to my Name by Heaven's Appointment fell . " May Achab his large Kingdoms long possess ; " Let Naboth his small Vinyard hold in peace . Achab was silent , but not satisfy'd ; The covetous Poyson through his Veins did glide : And what his greedy Eye and Heart devour , He will extort by an Usurping Power . So have I seen the tow'ring Falcon rise , And next to nothing lessen to our Eyes , Beyond the Call of any Game , or Lure ; The timerous Fowl such distance can endure ; But ill they measure by their own , the sight , And sharpness of their Tyrants Appetite : She sports and plys her Wings i' th' liquid air , As if she minded Pleasure , and not War : But when the Fowl , betray'd by flattering hopes , Takes wing , the watchful Foe , as Lightning stoops ; What her Eye mark'd , her Talons make her own ; As Thunder-struck the Quary tumbles down . But ill did Achabs Eyes , with all their Art , Cover the secret rancour of his Heart : The Wound did fester , that his Passion made , Which soon his Face unwillingly betray'd . First Jezabel descry'd his secret pain ; My Lord ( she said ) can your breast entertain A Grief or Joy but what I must partake ? O , do not this unkind distinction make ▪ Shame to reveal , and greater shame to hide His Soul from her , his troubled thoughts divide : At last he pour'd his Grief into the Ear Of his too kind , and fatal Counseller . In vain ( my Dear ) our Scepter does command From the North-Sea to the Arabian Sand , In vain the Kings of Aram are my Slaves ; In vain my Justice kills , my Mercy saves , If stubborn Naboth must his Vinyard hold In spight of all Intreaty , Power , and Gold ; If a poor Worm of Israel proudly dares Resist , not my Commands , my very Prayers . Tread on that Rebel Worm ( says Jezabel ) The weight of a Kings Anger let him feel ; Crush him to nothing ; that your Subjects may Be taught by his Example to obey . Then Achab sigh'd , and said , That must not be , People and Priests would rise in Mutiny : Too much we hazard for a thing so small ; The Tyrant-Law , which Monarchs does enthrall , Controuls the Execution of my will , And makes the Slave bold to resist me still . At this unmoveable stood Jezabel , Like one fast bound by an Inchanters Spell ; Her flaming Cheeks had Choller 's deepest dye ; And like struck Flints sparkled her furious Eye ; Such heaving , and such panting shook her breast , As if some Spirit had the place possest . Then suddenly she starts with a loud Cry ; If Law must do the Work , Naboth shall dye ▪ Let not the Sanhedrim a Monarch awe ; He that commands the Judge , commands the Law. Law is a poor , dumb thing , which none can hear , But by the Mouth of an Interpreter : And in the Peoples mouth , 't is the old Plea For Rebels , when their Prince they disobey . Fear not the Law , but by the Judge be fear'd ; Else , as the Pedants gravely wag their Beard , Kings must of their Prerogatives be stript , As Children are for breach of Grammar whipt . Then trust my skill ; I 'll bring you quick relief , To heal the wounds of your unseemly Grief : Both you , and Naboth , your just Rights shall have , You shall possess his Vineyard , he his Grave , Thus with her oyly words she skins his Sore , But adds new Poyson to the ulcerous Core ; And that false Comfort leaves in Achabs mind , Which Villains in their thriving Mischiefs find . She summons then her chosen Instruments , Always prepar'd to serve her black Intents : The chief was Arod , whose corrupted youth Had made his Soul an Enemy to truth ; But Nature furnisht him with Parts and wit , For bold Attempts , and deep Intriguing fit . Small was his Learning ; and his Eloquence Did please the Rabble , nauseate men of sence . Bold was his Spirit , nimble and loud his Tongue , Which more than Law , or Reason , takes the Throng . Him , part by Money , partly by her Grace , The covetous Queen rais'd to a Judges place : And , as he bought his Place , he Justice sold ; Weighing his Causes not by Law , but Gold ; He made the Justice-Seat a common Mart ; Well skill'd he was in the mysterious Art , Of finding Varnish for an unsound Cause , And for the sound Imaginary Flaws . With him fierce Jezabel consults the way How she for harmless Naboth Snares may lay . Madam ( says he ) you rightly judge the course Unsafe , to run him down by open Force . In great Designs it is the greatest Art , To make the Common People take your part : Some words there are , which have a special Charm To wind their Fancies up to an Alarm : Treason , Religion , Liberty , are such ; Like Clocks they strike , when on those Points you touch ; If some of these unto his Charge you lay , You hit the Vein of their Tarantala . For to say truth , the trick did never fail ; Loud Calumny with them does still prevail . I ( Madam ) of these means no scruple make ; Means from their End their Good or Badness take . Naboth a Rebel to his Soveraign's Will , By any ways we lawfully may kill . Whilst thus he pour'd his Venom in her Ear , A spightful Joy did in her Face appear : She said , your faithful Counsel I approve , You have chalkt out the way we are to move : But still you leave untoucht the hardest part , Which most requires your Industry and Art ; Where is the Crime ? where are the Witnesses ? It is my Province ( Madam ) to find these ; ( Reply'd the Judge ) and that our Project may Take faster hold , let there a solemn day , To seek the Lord by Fasting and by Prayer , Be set apart : This will exactly square With the whole Model of our Work design'd ; This will the People draw Body and Mind , To act their Parts in Naboth's Tragedy ; This builds the Stage , on which the Wretch shall dye . As Glasses , by the Sun 's reflected Ray , The silly Lark into the Net betray , So will the People , by the dazling thought Of Godliness , religiously be caught . When the Queen saw that her Design would take , She with impatient haste the Conference brake ; Of Av'rice and Revenge such is the thirst , That with the least Delay the Patients burst . Lose no more time ( she cry'd ; ) with speedy care Letters and Orders for our Seal prepare , Such as the Work requires : For 'till I gain This Point , each Moment is an Age of pain . Since first for acting God proud Angels fell , Still to ape Heaven has been the Pride of Hell : As the bright Spirits always attend his Throne , And what he wills , they execute as soon : Our Fury so could not conceive the Fact More nimbly , than her Agent - Fiend did act . Stay , Hell-Hounds , stay ! why with such rav'nous speed Must the dear Blood of Innocence be shed ? Blind is your Haste , and blinder is your Rage ; Hell no successful War 'gainst Heaven can wage : You shoot at Naboth , but your selves you wound With poyson'd Darts , for which no Cure is found : The Poyson drawn from a remorseless Heart , Baffles Divine , much more all Humane Art ; What will your Rage effect , but lasting shame , In this , in the next World Eternal Flame ? With all your subtle Arts of Perjury , And all the Varnish of your Bloody Lye , To make him Guilty , and you Rightful seem , Hell for your selves you build , and Heaven for him . Arod had always Tools at his Command , Of a fit temper for his Work in hand : But here no Villains of a common size In Wickedness , or Cunning would suffice : Yet two he found , which did as much exceed All common Rogues , as common Facts this Deed. Malchus , a puny Levite , void of sence , And Grace , but stuft with Noise and Impudence , Was his prime Tool ; so Venomous a Brute , That every place , he liv'd in , spued him out ; Lyes in his Mouth , and Malice in his Heart , By Nature grew , and were improv'd by Art. Mischief his pleasure was ; and all his Joy , To see his thriving Calumny destroy Those , whom his double Heart , and forked Tongue ▪ Surer , than Vipers Teeth , to death had stung . Python his Second was ; and his alone ; For he in Ills no other First would own : A braver Impudence did Arm this Wight ; He was a Russian , and no Hypocrite ; And with audacious , and loud Villany , He did at once Vertue , and Fame defie . These two , though Malchus wore the longer Cloak , Were evenly pair'd , and drew in the same Yoke . No Forresters with keener Appetite In running down their hunted Game delight , Than these the Slaughter of the Guiltless view , Whom their Malicious Calumny pursue . This goodly Pair were , by their Teachers Art , Fully prepar'd , and tun'd to play their part . A Fast is then proclaim'd ; this serves as Leaven To raise the People's Lump with News from Heaven ; They in the dark , when bid to seek the Lord , Are sure for His , to take the Preachers word ; These , when they tole their great DIANA-Bell , Look up to Heaven , and do the works of Hell. Always State-Fasts some strange Events portend ; And often in a Godly Mischief end . The fair Pretence is , that the Lord may weed Treason , and Blasphemy from Abraham's Seed . Great , and just God! will it be always so ? When thy Rebellious Creatures here below Their black Designs of deepest Mischief frame , Shall they still stamp on them thy holy Name ? Make thee , All-good , a Party in their Ill ! Thy very Word abuse , to break thy Will ? By which their Leaders draw the Vulgar in , With harmless Minds , to perpetrate their Sin ; By which the Just are by the Impious slain , And Abel still is sacrific'd by Cain ; How can thy Justice , and thy Thunder sleep , When such affronts on thee , and thine , they heap How can the Earth forbear with open Jaws To swallow these Contemners of thy Laws ? Hold , Muse ! Thy Zeal now grows to Mutiny ; Thou dost ignobly from thy Colours fly : Under the Standard , of the Cross we serve , And from our Leaders ways we must not swerve . By Form of Law He did submit to dye , Accus'd of Treason , and of Blasphemy ; All-powerful He , without revenge , or strife , Endur'd the loss of Honour , and of Life ; This is the way , which he his Followers taught , Which him to Triumph , us to Safety brought ; Then in this way let us march bravely on , Which will our Innocence with Glory Crown ; And let us pity those , whom prosp'rous Sin Harden's , and does on Earth their Hell begin . Now comes the Solemn , and the bloody Day , In which all Israel meets to fast , and pray : But Impious is that Fast , and Prayer , which parts From Lips polluted , and from hardned Hearts . In the first rank of Levites Arod stood , Court-favour plac'd him there , not Worth , or Blood. Naboth amongst the Tribes the foremost Place Did with his Riches , Birth , and Vertue grace : A man , whose Wealth was the Poor's common stock ; The Hungry found their Market in his Flock : His Justice made all Law-contentions cease ; He was his Neighbours safeguard , and their Peace . The Rich by him were in due bounds contain'd ; The Poor , if strong , imploy'd ; if weak , maintain'd . Well had he serv'd his Country , and his King ; And the best Troops in all their Wars did bring ; Nor with less bravery did he lead them on , Warding his Country's danger with his own . Scarce were the Rites , and Ceremonies past , Which by the Law attend their publick Fast , When Malchus raising up his hands and Eyes , With bended knees , thus to the Judges cryes ; Hear me ( great Seed of Levi ) Hear me all ( Israel's ten Tribes ) I for your Mercy call ; Seal me a Pardon , who too long have been A dark Concealer of a Crying Sin ; Heaven does this day my wounded Conscience heal , And bids me the hid Blasphemy reveal . Naboth , stand forth ; 'T is thee , of Impious breach Of God's and the Kings Laws , whom I impeach . At this the Tribes a various murmur raise ; His boldness some abhor'd , and some did praise : Some would have Naboth by a Publick Vote , Without more Form , found Guilty of the Plot. Others the Law alledge , that no Offence , Can be judged so on single Evidence . While thus they waver , Arod takes his kew ; Our thanks to Heaven in the first place are due , ( He said ) which with such gracious speed prevents Our Prayers , and all false Traytors curst Intents . Speak ( Malchus ) then , and this Assembly give Of the whole Plot a perfect Narrative : And whilst this service you to Israel do , Know , that we hear you , and believe you too . Malchus applauded thus in publick view , Did now almost believe , that he spoke true : This arm'd his Face with Brass , his Heart with Steel , That he no shame , and no remorse could feel . Then he the Story of his Plot at large Unfolds , and lays to guiltless Naboth's charge , How with the Aramites he did conspire , His Country to invade , the City fire , The Temple to destroy , the King to kill , And the whole Realm with Desolation fill : He told , how he himself the Agent was , In close Consults to bring these things to pass ; Nor did he fail with proper Circumstance Of Time , and Place , to garnish his Romance . The Priests astonisht are ; the People gaze , And the dumb Judges horrour does amaze . Then out steps Python , and with dextrous Art , Weaving his Story , seals a Counterpart To all , that Malchus had before depos'd ; And with deep Oaths the Accusation clos'd . Now on poor Naboth all their Eyes were set , Some red with Anger , some with Pity wet . But the fierce Rabble gladly would prevent His Tryal , by an instant Punishment . Whence this unnatural Pleasure to destroy ? From what ill Root grows this malignant Joy ? Beasts worry Beasts , but when their Hunger calls ; But Man on Man with a full Stomach falls : 'T is not our Wants of Nature to redress , That we this Rage to our own Kind express ; But for the Mischief's sake we Pleasure find ; It lies not in our Body , but our Mind . Our Seed receives a double Taint and Stain , From Rebel Adam , and from murd'ring Cain . Naboth , thus charg'd , had need for his defence , Of all his Courage , and his Innocence : It was a Tryal of no Vulgar Kind , To shew th' Heroick temper of his Mind : But the transparent Brightness of his Soul , E'en through his Eyes , their Malice did controul , For his Accusers , when he sternly view'd , Their tortur'd looks their rack of Conscience shew'd ▪ But to his Judges , with a manly grace , He lowly bow'd , and pleaded thus his Case . My Lords , by these false Oaths , this bloody Lye , God and the King are more abus'd , than I ; For I ( poor Worm ) weigh nothing in the Scale , When their high Wrongs for Reparation call : When God's dread Name , when his , and the Kings Laws , Are thus blasphem'd , 't is their , and not my Cause . Pharoah , Goliah , and that Heathen Brood , Less impiously blasphem'd our Soveraign Good ; They believ'd not his Being , nor his Might , And blindly , what they Nothing thought , did slight : These know him , and him knowingly defie ; And signing with his awful Name their Lye , Make him a Party to their Perjury . Nay , in this horrid Enterprise they do Their curst Endeavour to destroy him too ; For Truth and He in Essence so partake , That when you make him False , you him unmake . These Vipers in the Bosom of our Law , Will eat it through , its very Heart-strings gnaw ; For when with artificial Perjury They make God's Sacred Name espouse their Lye , Forthwith that Lye Omnipotent becomes , And governs all below ; it saves , or dooms ; Disposes of our Honour , Life , and State , Gives rule to Law , and arbitrates our Fate . No rage of Famine , Pestilence , or War , Can with this Legal Massacre compare , If perjur'd Villains may a Shelter find , To make their Inrodes thus on Humane Kind , Laws , for Chastisement of the Guilty meant , Will turn their Points against the Innocent , ( * As Cannons of a newly enter'd Town From their own Walls the Houses batter down . ) My Lords , if you this Villany endure , Judges themselves will not be long secure : And so I leave my Cause in your wise breast , The Temple where Truth 's Oracle should rest . Thus Naboth spoke , with that undaunted meen , Which only in bold Innocence is seen : But least the People's Fury should relent , Arod their calmer thoughts did thus prevent . Naboth , what you have said in your defence , Adds to your Guilt , clears not your Innocence ; When the Kings Evidence you perjur'd call , Know , that your very Plea is Criminal . Shall Malefactors with Reproaches tear Their Fame , who for their King and Country swear ? What Thief , what Felon may not do the same , To purge themselves , the Witnesses defame ? Against two Oaths , so positive and plain , All your harranguing Rhetorick is vain . Should stout Denying pass for Innocence , The Court must be as weak as your Defence . Less Confidence your bloody Crimes behov'd , So weakly answer'd , and so strongly prov'd . Is it not doubly sworn , that you conspir'd With Aram's King , this City to have fir'd , And in that hurry to destroy the King , And into Israel Bondage and Idols bring ? Stung with these dire Reproaches , Naboth again Offer'd to speak , but offer'd still in vain ; For when the Bench did thus his Guilt proclaim , Their Words , like Oyl , inrag'd the People's Flame ; Who hardly staying till the Sentence past , Like hungry Wolves , they rush with furious haste , Hurrying poor Naboth to a planted Stake , Where in his Death their cruel Joy they take . Their Hands and Tongues they equally employ , And him with Stones and Calumnies destroy : Some gather Flints , and some the Victim ty'd Ready for Sacrifice : He loudly cry'd , Heaven bless the King ! And I forgive ye all ; O! may this Innocent Blood no Vengeance call On you , my Brethren — Off'ring more to say , A murdring show'r of Stones took Voice and Life away . Thus Naboth fell — Kind Heaven ! so may I fall ; Rather than stand so high , and Criminal , As covetous Achab , and his bloody Queen ; Or serve the Malice of such Lust and Spleen ; Or judge with Arod , or with Malchus swear ; Or with the Rabble opprest Vertue tear . Naboth ! though cast thou art by Humane Laws , Heaven's Writ of Errour has remov'd thy Cause , And judg'd it so , that it shall stand from hence A lasting Record of wrong'd Innocence . All to thy Ashes shall their Duty pay , Friends shall their Tears , Foes weep their Blood away ; For lo ! the great Elijah , Heaven's Envoy , Has now surpris'd them in their guilty joy , Caught in the very Fact , and Place , where they Rejoice , pluming , and hovering o're the Prey : What ? have I found you in this Field of Blood , ( For so thy Title to 't shall be made good , More by thine own , than Naboth's ) graceless King ! I from thy dreadful Judge thy Sentence bring , ( Says Heaven's bold Herald . ) Achab heartless grew ; And the Queens Fears did all her Pride subdue , At this loud Thunder-stroke . Know ( wretched Pair ) ( Continues he ) The Vultures in the Air , Wolves in the Field shall be the living Tomb Of all that 's born from Jezebel's curs'd Womb : And Achab's Seed shall be the worthy Food Of Birds and Beasts that live by Prey and Blood. Thy Race no more shall mix with Human Kind , But nourish Beasts , and so with them be join'd . Thou , Achab , here in this ill-purchas'd Ground , Shalt bleed thy last , from a fresh , mortal wound ; Mastifs shall lick thy Blood ; and it shall be As sweet to them , as Naboth's Blood to thee . And thou ( curst Woman ) Eve , and Serpent too ; Cause of thine own , and of thy Husband's woe , Thy broken Limbs , and into pieces rent , Shall be of Dogs the Food and Excrement : Low falls thy Body , lower thy Soul will sink ; Thy Memory ever shall remain , and stink . And so he left them Thunder-struck and dumb ; Stung with their present Guilt , and Fate to come . FINIS .

Printed on verso: A song upon ale (Wing (2nd ed.) S4683A). Reproduction of the original in the Harvard University Library. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

No more shalt thou foment an Ale-house brawl , But the more sober Riots of Guild-Hall ; Where by the Spirits fallible Direction , We Reprobates once pol'd for an Election : If this trade hold , what shall we Mortals do , The Saints Sequester even our Vices too . For since the Art of Whoring's grown precise , And Perjury has got demurer Eyés , 'T is time , high time to circumcise the Gill , And not let Brandy be Philistian still .

The Censure of the ROTA Upon Mr. Milton's Book , ENTITULED , A Ready and Easie way to Establish a Free COMMON-WEALTH . SIR , I Am commanded by this ingenious Convention of the Rota , to give you an account of some Reflections that they have lately made upon a Treatise of yours , which you call , The ready and easie way to establish a Free Common-wealth ; in which I must first bespeak your pardon , for being forced to say something , not onely against mine own sense , but the Interesse which both you and I carry on ; for it is enjoyn'd me to acquaint you with all that was said , although I take as little pleasure to repeat it , as you will do to hear it . For whereas it is our usuall custom to dispute every thing , how plain or obscure soever , by knocking Argument against Argument , and tilting at one another with our heads ( as Rams fight ) untill we are out of breath , and then refer it to our wooden Oracle the Box ; and seldom any thing , how slight soever , hath appear'd , without some Patron or other to defend it . I must confesse , I never saw Bowling-stones run so unluckily against any Boy , when his hand has been out , as the Ballots did against you , when anything was put to the question , from the beginning of your Book to the end . for it was no sooner read over , but a Gentleman of your acquaintance said , he wish'd for your own sake , as well as the Cause you contend for , that you had given your Book no name ( like an Anabaptist's child ) untill it had come to years of discretion , or else that you had got some friend to be Gossip , that has a luckier hand at giving Titles to Books than you have : For it is observ'd , you have always been very unfortunate that way , as if it were fatall to you to prefix Bulls and Nonsense to the very fronts of your learned Works , as when you call Salmasius , Claudius Anonymus , in the very Title of that admired piece , which you writ to confute his Wife and his Maid . As also in that other learned Labor of yours , which you style Tetrachordon , that is to say , a Fiddle with four strings ; but , as you render it , a Four-fold Cord , with which you undertake ( worse then Captain Ottor , and Cuthbert the Barber ) not to bind , but ( most ridiculously ) to unty Matrimony . But in this Book , he said , you were more insufferable ; for you do not onely style your Declamation , The ready and easie way , as if it were the best or onely way , to the disparagement of this most ingenuous Assembly , who are confident , they have propos'd others much more considerable ; but do very indiscreetly profess in the same place , to compare the Excellencies of a Common-wealth with the inconveniences and dangers of Kingship ; this , he said , was foul play , and worse Logick : For , as all conveniences in this world carry their inconveniences with them , to compare the Best of one thing with that Worst of another , is a very unequall way of comparison . He had observ'd , that Comparisons were commonly made on the wrong side , and so was this of yours , by your owne confession . To this , another added , He wondred you did not give over writing , since you have always done it to little or no purpose ; for though you have scribled your eyes out , your works have never been printed but for the Company of Chandlers and Tobacco-men , who are your Stationers , and the onely men that vend your Labors . He said , that he himself reprieved the Whole Defence of the People of England for a groat , that was sentenced to vile Mundungus , and had suffer'd inevitably ( but for him ) though it cost you much Oyle and Labor , and the Rump 300 I. a year , to whose service it was more properly intended ; although in the close , you pronounce them to be as very Rascalls as Salmasius , and all the Christian world calls them , if ever they suffered any of their fellow-Members to invade the Government ( as O. Cromwell and others have since doue ) and confesse your self fool'd and mistaken , and all you have written to be false , howsoever you give your self the second lye in writing for them again . After this , a grave Gentleman of the long Roab , said , You had broken the heads of all the Sages of the Law , and plaid false in the very first word of your Treatise . For the Parliament of England ( as you call the Rump ) never consisted of a pack'd Party of one House , that by fraud and covin had disseaz'd the major part of their Fellows , and forfeited their own right , by abetting the ejectment of the whole House of Peers , and the greater part of their own ( which was always understood to be the whole House ) with whom they had but a joynt Right . That they had been severall times justly dissolv'd by the Army , from whom they really deriv'd their Authority ; and the generall Voices of the People , in whom they had declar'd the supream Power to reside ; and their own confession upon Record in their Journall-Book . But this , he said , you stole from Patriot Whitlock , who began his Declaration for a Free State with the same words ; and he wondred you would filch and pilfer Nonsense and Fallasies , that have such plentifull store of your own grouth . Yet this was as true as that which follows , That a great number of the faithfullest of the People assisted them in throwing off King ship ; for they were a very sleight number in respect of the whole , and none of the faithfullest that forswore themselves , to maintain and defend that which they judg'd dangerous , and resolv'd to abolish . And therefore they turn'd Regall Bondage ( as you word it ) into a Free Common-wealth , no more justly and magnanimously , than other Knights of the Post do their feats , by plain down-right perjury . And the Nation had little reason to trust such men with their Liberty or Propriety , that had no right to their own ears , but , among the rest of their Cheats , had defrauded the very Pillory of its due . This being put to the Ballot was immediately carried on in the Affirmative , without a diffenting Pellet . When presently a Gentleman , that hath been some years beyond-Seas , said , He wonder'd you would say any thing so false and ridiculous , as that this Common-wealth was the terrour and admiration of France it self ; for if that were true , the Cardinall and Councell were very imprudent to become the chief Promoters of it , and strive by all means to uphold that , which they judg'd to be dangerous to themselves , and for the Interesse of a Nation , which they hate and fear so much as they do us ; for if this Free State be so terrible to them , they have been very unwise in assisting it to keep out the King all this while ; especially if they saw the people of Paris and Burdeaux disposed ( as you say ) to imitate us , which appears very strange ; for by their history , any man would judge we had catch'd the disease of them . As for our actions abroad , ( which you brag of ) he said , he never heard of anywhere he was , untill O. Cromwel reduc'd us to an absolute Monarchy under the name of a Free state ; and then we beat the Potent and flourishing Republique of the United Provinces . But for our actions at home , he had heard abroad , that they savoured much of Goth and Vandall barbarism , if pulling down of Churches , and demolishing the noblest Monuments in the Land , both Publick and Privat , ( beside Religion and all Laws , Human and Divine ) may amount to so much . And yet , he said , he granted what you affirm , That they were not unbecomming the rising of a glorious Common-wealth , for such are usually founded in Faction , Sedition , Rebellion , Rapine , and Murther . And how much soever you admire the Romans , — ab infami gentem deducis Asylo , if you remember , they were at first but a Refuge for Thieves and Murtherers . In all Asia , Africa , and the New World , there is no such thing as a Republick , nor ever was ; but onely that of Carthage , and some paltry Greek Colonies upon the skirts of Asia minor ; and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Common-wealth there have been a hundred King 〈…〉 world , which argues , they should be the more agreeable to Mankind . He added , Commonly Republicks arise from unworthy causes , not fit to be mention'd in History ; and that he had heard many Persons of Honor in Flanders affirm , That it was not the Tyranny of Spain , nor the cruelty of Duke D' Alva , nor the blood of their Nobility , nor Religion , nor Liberty , that made the Dutch cast off their obedience to their Prince ; but one penny Excise laid upon a pound of Butter , that made them implacably declare for a Common-wealth . That the Venetians were banish'd into a Free State by Atila , and their glorious Liberty was at first no other , then he may be said to have that is turn'd out of his house . That the Romans were Cookolded into their Freedom , and the Pisans Trepand into theirs by Charls the eighth . That as Common-wealths sprung from base Originalls , so they have ruin'd upon as slight occasions . That the same Pisans , after they had spent all they had upon a Freak of Liberty , were sold ( like Cattle ) by Lewis the 12th . The Venetians Hector'd , and almost ruin'd by Maximilian the first , a poor Prince , for refusing to lend him mony , as they were not long before by Francesco Sforza about a Bastard . The Florentines utterly enslav'd for spoyling an Embossador's Speech , and disparaging Petro de' Medici's fine Livereys . The Genoeses — But as he was going on , he was interrupted by a Gentleman that came in and told us , that Sir Arthur Hazlerig , the Brutus of our Republique , was in danger to be torn in pieces ( like a Shrove-tuesday Bawd ) by the Boys in Westminster-Hall ; and if he had not shewn himself as able a Foot-man as he that cudgell'd him , he had gone the way of Doctor Lamb infallibly . This set all the company a laughing , and made the Traveller forget what he was saying . After a little pause , a learned Gentleman of this Society stood up , and said , He could not but take notice of one absurdity in your Discourse , and that is , where you speak of Liberty gloriously fough for , and Kingly Thraldome abjur'd by the people , &c. for if by liberty , you mean Common-wealth , ( as you do ) There was never any such thing , as either the one , or the other ; unlesse you will state the Quarrell at the end of the Warre , which is very senselesse , and directly contrary to all Oaths and Engagements : or can prove that Hanging , Drawing , and Quartering of some of the People , and selling others as Slaves , for taking up Arms in all parts of the Nation for the King , are abjurations of his Authority ; and he wonder'd , you could be so weak , or impudent to play foul in matters of Fact , of which there are so many thousands witnesses to disprove you . But he was of opinion , that you did not believe your selfe , nor those reasons you give in defence of Common-wealth , but that you are sway'd by something else , as either by a Stork-like Fate , ( as a modern Protector-Poet calls it , because that Foul is observ'd to live no where but in Common-wealths ) or because , you have unadvisedly scribled your selfe obnoxious , or else you fear such admirable eloquence as yours , would be thrown away under a Monarchy , ( as it would be ) though of admirable use in a Popular Government , where Orators carry all the Rabble before them : For who knows to how Cheap a rate this goodly Eloquence of yours , ( if well manadg'd ) might bring the price of Sprats , as no wiser Orators then your selfe have done heretofore , in the petty factions , Greek Republiques , whom you chiefly imitate ; for all your Politiques are derived from the works of Declamers , with which sort of Writers , the Ancient Common-wealths had the fortune to abound , who left many things behind them in favour , or flattery of the Governments they liv'd under , and disparagement of others , to whom they were in opposition , of whom we can affirm nothing certain , but that they were partiall , and never meant to give a true account of things , but to make them finer or worse then they really are ; Of which men , one of their owne Common-wealth Poets , gives a just Character , by sorting them among the worst of men . — {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} — All which you have out-gone , ( according to your Talent ) in their severall waves , for you have done your feeble endeavour to Rob the Church , of the little which the Rapine of the most sacrilegious Persons hath left , in your learned work against Tithes ; You have slandered the Dead , worse then envy it selfe , and thrown your dirty out-rage , on the memory of a Murther'd Prince , as if the Hangman were but your Usher . These have been the attempts of your stiffe formall Eloquence , which you arme accordingly , with any thing that lies in your way , right , or wrong , not onely begging , but stealing questions , and taking every thing for granted , that will serve your turn ; For you are not asham'd to rob O. Cromwell himselfe , and make use of his Canting with signall Assistances from Heaven , and answering Condescensions : The most impious Mahometan Docttrine , that ever was vented among Christians , and such as will serve as well to justifie any prosperous villany amongst men . He said , when God punishes a Nation for sin , The Executiones of his Judgments , are commonly but M●lefactors reprieved , as they are usually among men ; For when he punish'd the Israelites for Idolatry , he made use of greater Idolaters then themselves : And when he afflicts a people for their disobedience , to a just Government , and fantastique longing after imaginary Liberty , it is with infallible Slavery , for their deliverers alwaies prove their Tyrants . This the Romans found true , for they had no sooner banish'd their Kings , but they were in few years glad to banish themselves , from the Tyranny and oppression of their Patriots , the Assertors of their Liberty , and that very Contest furnish'd their Free-State with Sedition , and Civill War for 500 years , and never ended , untill they were reduc'd to an absolute Tyranny , under the power of that faction , that took upon it to vindicate their Liberty ; He added , that he could not but smile at one thing you sayd , and that is , That King and Bishops will encroach upon our Consciences , untill we are forc'd to spend over again all that we have spent , and fight over again all that we have fought , &c. For if you did not look very like a Cunning man , no body would believe you , nor trust your predictions of the future , that give so ill an account of things past . But he held you very unwise to blab any such thing , For that party you call , We have gain'd so abundantly much more then they have spent , that they desire nothing more , then to fight over the same fights again , at the same rate ; and if you could but make your words good , he would undertake , they should be the first men that should set Bishops about your Consciences : for how vile soever you make the Blood of faithfull English men , they have made such good markets of it , that they would be glad at any time to broach the whole Nation at the same price , and affor'd the treasure of Miraculous deliverances , ( as you call it ) into the Bargin . This he added , was easier to be understood then your Brand of Gentilism , upon King-ship , for which you rest Scripture most unmercifully , to prove , that though Christ said , His Kingdome was not of this world , yet his Common-wealth is . For if , the Text which you quote , The Kings of the Gentiles exercise Lordship over them , and they that exercise authority over them , are called Benefactors : But it shall not be so among you , &c. be to be understood of Civill Government , ( and to infer Common-wealth ( as you will have it right or wrong ) and not to be meant of his spirituall Reigne , of which he was then speaking , and expressely calls so ; You must prove that he erected a Republique of his Apostles , and that notwithstanding the Scripture , every where calls his Government the Kingdome of Heaven , it ought to be Corrected , and Rendred the Common-wealth of Heaven , or rather the Common-wealth of this World ; and yet the Text , does as well prove Benefactors heathenish as Kings , for if our Saviour had meant to brand Kingship with any evill Character , He would never have styld himselfe King of the Jewes , King of Heaven , King of Righteousnesse , &c. as he frequently do's , but no where a State-holder , or Keeper of the Liberties . To this , a young Gentleman made answer , that your writings are best interpreted by themselves , and that he remembred in that Book , wherein you fight with the King's Picture , you call Sir Phillip Sydnes , Princes Pamela , who was born and bred of Christian Parents in England ; A Heathen woman , and therefore , he thought that by Heathonish , you meant English , and that in calling Kingship , Heathenish , you inferd , it was the only proper and naturall Government of the English Nation , as it hath been proved in all Ages . To which another objected , that such a sense was quite Contrary to your purpose , to which he immediately repli'd ; That it was no new thing , with you to write that , which is as well against us for your purpose : after much debate , they agreed to put it to the Ballot , and the young Gentleman carried it without any Contradiction . That done , a Gentleman of good credit here , taking occasion from the former discourse , said , you had shown your selfe as able a Divine , as a Statesman ; For you had made as politique provision for spirituall , as civill Liberty in those pious and Orthodox , ( though seeming absurd and Contradictory ) grounds you have laid down in order thereunto , which being rightly interpreted , do say , or by consequence inferre thus much . That the Church of Christ ought to have no Head upon Earth , but the Monster of many heads , the multitude , who are the onely supream Judges of all matters that concern him ; a Priviledge they claim'd , when he was upon Earth , when they took upon them to condemn him , and cri'd Crucifige : That all Christian Lawes and Ordinances have a Co-ercive power , to see themselves put in Execution , and yet they ought to be subject to every Man's will and humor , ( which you call his best light ) and no man to them but in his own sense . That the Scripture onely ought to interpret it selfe , ( just as it can read it selfe ) and every man is to take the interpretation in such a sense , as best suites with his owne capacity , or his occasions ; That every man may do what he pleases in matters of Religion , but onely those that are in Authority , who ought not to meddle in such matters , as being of so different a nature from their Cognizance , ( or any other ) that if it be their will to Command the onely true Religion to be observ'd , it presently becomes inchristian inhuman , and Barbarous . That no man can serve God , nor save his owne Soul , but in a Common-wealth , in this certainty , you go after your owne invention , for no man ever heard it before : But if it should be true , it is a sad thing to think , what is become of the Apostles themselves , and all the Saints in the Primitive times , when there was never a Christian Common-wealth in the World ? That any man may turn away his Wife , and take another as oft as he pleases , as you have most learnedly prov'd upon the Fiddle , and practic'd in your Life and Conversation , for which you have atchieved the honour to be Styld the Founder of a Sect. All this you call Liberty of Conscience , and Christian Liberty , which you conclude no Government is more inclinable , not onely to favour , but protect , then a Free Common-wealth . In this , ( he said ) you say right ; For it is notorious enough , that since we have been but call'd a Common-wealth , such pious Doctrines as these , have been so wonderfully propagated , that England does now abound with new Christians , no lesse then Spain did of late years , and of the same mungrell breed ; all which agree in nothing , but the extripation of Christian Religion , and subversion of Government , to which your Discipline does naturally conduce . For certainly , the most ready and easie way to root out Religion , is to render it contemptible , and ridiculous , which cannot be sooner done then by giving Licence , and encouragement to all manner of Frenzies , that pretend to new discoveries in matters of Faith , these will quickly make it become a sport and mockery to the People , untill it be utterly extinct ; And this , some of the Church of Rome found true , who give a greater check to the growth of Reformation , by cloathing some of the new professers in Fools Coats , and exposing them to the derision of the multitude , then by persecuting , and putting thousands to death . And this is the way you goe which will never fail you , as long as there are Fooles and mad men to carry on the work . And with this if you could but introduce the wholsome Cannons of the Councill of Munster it would make an admirable Model for the Ecclesiasticall part of the Republique , if it were not for one unlucky Circumstance , and that is that Knipper Dolling Proclaimed John of Leyden King , and not State-holder . This ( he said ) was an unhappy mistake and no lesse out of your way then that of the Fift Monarchy Men , who would have been admirable for your purpose if they had but dream't of a fift Free-State . By this time they began to grow weary of your perpeuall falshoods and mistakes , and a Worthy Knight of this Assembly stood up and said that if we meant to examin all the particular fallacies and flawes in your writing we should never have done , he would therefore ( with leave ) deliver his judgement upon the whole , which in briese was thus . That it is all windy foppery from the beginning to the end , written to the eleuation of that Rabble and meant to cheat the Ignorant . That you fight alwayes with the flat of your hand like a Retorician , and never Contract the Logicall fist . That you trade altogether in universals the Region of Deceits and falacie , but never come so near particulars , as to let us know which among diuerse things of the same kind you would be at . For you admire Common-wealths in generall , and cry down Kingship as much at large , without any regard to the particular Constitutions which onely make either the one or the other good or bad , vainly supposing all flavery to be in the Gouernment of a single Person , and nothing but liberty in that of many , which is so false that some Kingdomes have had the most perfect form of Common wealths as ours had , and some Republiques haue proved the greatest Tirannies , as all have done at one time or other . For many if they combine have more Latitude to abuse power then a single Person , and lesse sence of shame , conscience , or honour to restrain them , for what is wickedly done by many is own'd by none , where no Man knowes upon whom in particular to fix it . And this we have found true by experience in your Patriots and Assertors ( as you call them ) for no one person could ever have done halfe the mischief they have done , nor outliv'd the infamy they have suffered without any sence of shame . Beside this , as all your politiques reach but the outside and circumstances of things and never touch at realties , so you are very solicitous about weeds as if they were charmes , or had more in them then what they fignifie : For no Conjurer's Devill is more concerned in a spell , then you are in a meer word , but never regard the things which it serves to expresse . For you believe liberty is safer under an Arbitrary unlimited power by vertue of the name Commonwealth , then under any other Government how just or restrain'd soever if it be but cal'd Kingship . And therefore very prudently you would have the Name Parliament abolished , because it signifies a Parly of our Commons with their Norman Kings . But in this you are too severe a Draco to punish one word for holding correspondence with another , when all the liberty you talk so much of consists in nothing else but meer words . For though you bragge much of the Peoples Manageing their own affaires , you allow them no more share of that in your Utopia ( as you have ordered it ) then only to set up their throates and Baul ( instead of every three yeares , which they might have done before ) once in an Age , or oftner , as an old Member drops away , and anew one is to succed , not for his merit or knowledge in State affaires , but because he is able to bring the greatest and most deep mouth'd Pack of the Rabble into the field ; a more wise and equall way ( in your opinion ) of choosing Counsellors , then any King is capable of . But he added , you had done worst of all , where you are most like your self , and that is in that false and malitious aspersion of Popish & Spanish Councels which you cast on the present King . For it is well known to all the world , he hath prefer'd his Conscience before three Crowns , and patiently endured to live so many years in exile , rather then change his Religion ; which if he would have done , or been mov'd with such Councels , he might long since have procured all the Forces of the Catholique world upon us , whereas it cannot be denied of his greatest opposers , That they are so jealous of their ill-gotten Purchases bought with their Crimes , that rather be in danger of loosing a Pigge , they would ( with the Gergosens ) defire Christ to depart out of their Coasts . After this said , he mov'd the Assembly that I might be desired to deliver my judgment upon the Book , as he and others had done , which being immediatlypast ; I knew not ( though unwilling ) how to avoyd it ; and therefore I told them as briefly as I could , That that which I disliked most in your Treatise was , That there is not one word of the ballance of Propriety , nor the Agrarian , nor Rotation in it , from the beginning to the end : without which ( together with a Lord Archon ) I thought I had sufficiently demonstrated , not only in my writings but publique exercises in that Coffee-house , that there is no possible foundation of a Free Common-wealth . To the first and second of these ( that is the Ballance and the Agrarian ) you made no objection , and therefore I should not need to make any answer . But for the third ( I mean Rotation ) which you implicitly reject in your design to perpetuate the present Members , I shall only adde this to what I have already said and written on that subject , That a Common-wealth is like a great Top , that must be kept up by being whipt round , and held in perpetuall circulation , for if you discontinue the Rotation , and suffer the Senate to settle , and stand still , down it falls immediately . And if you had studied this poynt as carefully as I have done , you could not but know , there is no such way under Heaven of disposing the Vicissitudes of Command and Obedience , and of distributing equall Right and Liberty among all men , as this of Wheeling , by which ( as Chauser writes ) a single Fart hath been equally divided among a whole Covent of Friers , and every one hath had his just share of the favour . I told then , I could not but be sorry to find so learned a man so ignorant in the nature of Government , as to make disproportionate Parallels of Councills as you do , where you compare the Senate of Rome with the Grand Councell of Venice , between which there is no Analogy at all : for the Senate of Rome was never the supream Power of the People , as the Grand Councill of Venice is , but meerly a Councill of State . But I wondred most of all at what politique Crack in any mans Scull the imagination could enter of securing Libery under an Oligarchy , Seized of the Government for tearm of life , which was never yet seen in the world . The Metropolitan of all Common-wealthes the Roman did but once adventure to trust its whole Power and Authority in the hands of one Councill , and that but for two yeares , and yet they had like to have lost their Liberty for ever ; whereas they had frequently in all ages left it wholy in the power of a single Person , and found it so far from danger or inconvenience , that the only Refuge they had in their greatest extremity was , to create a Dictator . But I could not but laugh ( as they all had done ) at the pleasantnesse of your fancy who suppose our noble Patriots , when they are invested for tearm of life , will serve their Country at their own charge : This ( I said ) was very improbable , unlesse you meant as they do , that all we have is their own , and that to prey and devour is to serve , in which they have appeared so able and industrious , as if they had been made to no other purpose , but , like Lobsters , were all Clawes and Belly . For though many laugh at me for accounting 300000l . in wooden ware toward the erecting of a Free-State ( in my Oceana ) but a trifle to the whole Nation , ) because I am most certain that these little Pills the Ballots are the only Physick that can keep the Body Politique soluble , and not suffer the humors to settle ) I 'le undertake that if the present Members had but a lease of the Government during life ( notwithstanding whatsoever impeachment of Waste ) they would raise more out of it to themselves in one year , then that amounts to ; beside the charge we must be at in maintaining of gaurds to keep the boys of them , and before halfe the term be expired , they would have it untenantable . To conclude , I told them , you had made good your title in a contrary sence ; For you have really proposed the most ready and easie way to establish downright slavery upon the Nation that can possibly be contrived , which will clearly appear to any Man that doe's but understand this plain Truth . That wheresoever the Power of Proposing and Debating , together with the Power of Ratifying , and Enacting Lawes , is entrusted in the hands of any one Person , or any one Councill ( as you would have it ) That Governnent is inevitable Arbitrary and Tyrannicall , because they may make whatsoever they please lawfull or unlawfull . And that Tyranny hath the advantage of all other that hath Law and Liberty among the Instruments of Servitude . J. H.

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

I Sing the Man that rais'd a Shirtless Band Of Northern Rabble , when the Prince did land ; A Sniveling Heroe with a Weasel Face , And Features which an Eunuch would disgrace ; Of a dark Spirit , turbulent and proud , Rude to Superiors , fawning to the Crowd ; Prompt to Revenge , and treacherously base , Plotting when private , blust'ring when in place ; Too weak to hurt , yet ever working ill , Harmless in Action , Mischievous in Will : Stiff for Religion , which he ne're profest , A Modish Zealot , with bad Morals blest , Lewdly profane , and wicked like the rest ; Sainted i' th Womb , and born with mortal hate . To the Establish'd Forms in Church and State. The Youth was train'd in a Fanatick Club , And heard a Blockhead bellow in a Tub : In riper years , the great Achitophel , With all the Learning he receiv'd from Hell , Refin'd the hot-brain'd Lout , and taught him to rebell He studied Anarchy , and Common-weal , And learn'd to varnish Wickedness with Zeal . In Treason too he wondrous progress made ; And once his secret labours were betray'd : But halting Justice came too late that time , For want of Evidence , but not of Crime : Witness the late Rehearsal that was made , When a Chief Actor the whole Scene display'd ; Witness what since the Chit himself has said , Like mad St. As — wonders he foretells , And in the Art of Palmistry excells ; With Frantick Gestures , and a dismal Meen , The Wretch discoursing to himself is seen : His boding looks a Mind distracted show , And Envy sits engrav'd upon his Brow ; A restless Male-content , even when preferr'd , He leaves the Court , and mingles with the Herd ; Flutt'ring and vain , he seeks their wild applause , And heads them in defiance of the Laws : Harrangues the gaping Mobile aloud , And plays the Merry-Andrew of the Crowd : He tells them his Estate is pawn'd and spent In waging War against the Government : In the great Council he their Cause promotes , The Patron of their perjured Darling , Oates . When Weavers with United Fury went T' affront the Court , and dare the Parliament , He their great Guardian , in the Crowded Street , That medley Tribe of Mutineers did greet . Great Tom's Leige-People thus he makes his own , And undermines that Captain 's Envied Throne : His Sacred Rights this Upstart does profane , Rivals his Greatness , and disturbs his Reign . How did this Alien his strong Realm invade , When in the progress which he lately made ; Disloyal City-Mobb , undue attendance paid . Methinks I see him bowing at the Head Of those that through the wondring Strand he led . With pains and charge he did that Pageant gain ; Nor was the Service of his Kindred vain : Their Interest , and his Man's , made up the Scoundrel Train . Huzzaing Crowds flockt to him in all parts , Which made his Sister name him King of Hearts . They kiss'd his proffered Hand , and Worship paid To that dull Calf which they an Idol made ; Wishing the Juncto which at London sate , Had made him Ruler of the New-form'd State , And cry'd , Ware King , if he e're dooms thy Fate . How goodly was the Show ! to see him train That Country-Rabble where himself does Reign , Like those that lately Rul'd this plunder'd Town : Such Officers such Discipline was shown . Yet their great Chief , whate're the Men endure , Like a wise Captain does himself secure . But this poor Fool did ill his life defend , Starv'd with the Javelin of Rake-hell Friend . This part he acted on his Rural Stage , The great Buffoon and Harlequin o' th' Age. When he return'd , his Subjects did attend Their sneaking Monarch to his Journeys end : And in the Front Two Lob-cock Earls did ride , With Nobler Rabble by his meager side . Go on vain Man , and grow in Infamy , Let Crimes Immortalize thy Memory . Long live the Ballads that extol thy Fame ; May unborn Mobile adore thy Name , And thee the Founder of their Kingdom claim . Still make such Speeches as you 've done of late , Still set the Crowd above the Magistrate . Let head-strong Malice , unrestrain'd by Shame , Prompt thee again the Clergy to defame ; Presume some other Patriots Case to draw , Write more False English to make Treason Law : The Faults of Atk●ns , and the Scribling Tribe ; Do thou their great Tautologist transcribe . To show thy Judgment , let thy Work be stol'n From the worst Books the present Age has known . Print lyes , disprov'd in Malson's History , To wound the Martyrs sacred Memory : Damn all his Royal Kindred in their turns , Rake their dead Ashes , and disturb their Urns : Against your Neighbours brandish still your Tongue , And turn once more Informer to the Throng , You 'll injure no man's Honour but your own ; Their Deeds are blameless , and their Worth is known : But thy Exploits make thee the publick Sport , Scorn'd by all Parties , pist upon at Court. His Name what Mortal can forbear to brand , Who disobey'd his Princes first Command , And stubbornly refus'd his Whisk-tails to disband ? Who with officious forwardness , unsent , Carries King James his final Complement : To him , whom now you with regret obey , If e're distrest , such Duty you will pay : Or if you fall into deserv'd disgrace , And on●● are kickt from dear Exchequer-place , You then will rise even at a French Alarm , And for Revenge and new Preferment Arm. ' Yet dont a Letter to thy Tennants write , ' Nor urge them for thy Interest to fight . ' Mourn not past Freedom , nor lost Property , ' Nor say Religion lies in Jeopardy ; ' That Providence will leave 'em in the lurch , ' Since Miracles are ceased in the Church , &c. Lest one of them should publish a Reply , Divulge your Non-sence , answer every lye , And your Weakest Calumnies untie ; You breach of Faith to those that serv'd you last , Will all your future gay pretences blast : You promised to sollicit full as hard , To get for them , as for your self , reward : Yet you , when Treachery had won the Day , Dismiss'd the weary'd Herd without their Pay , And like a savage Lyon bore away the Prey . You promis'd with those Men to fall or stand , Who lie unbury'd in a barren land , To feed wild Dogs under his Conduct gone , Who was a Traytor ripe in Forty One. In vain you 'l think to rendezvouze again , And have a fresh Supply of ready men . No Scrubbs ill arm'd , will mount unsaddled Steeds , Nor back the ancient Colts their Forest breeds . Straw-Boots no more shall make a Warlike Sight , No more shall you put naked Priests to flight ; No Bed-rid Zealots will Five Guineas give , No more shall you on their Collection live : 'T is time your fatal Government should end , Each Man bewails the Death of Child or Friend , And Orphans Cur●es all your Steps attend .

'T is excellent good to purge the Nation to skin and bones : It agree's very well with the Common-wealth's men's appetite , but rises in the Cavaliers stomack ; for which cause they , and the Presbyterians had best refrain it : The Spaniard would like it well if he might have a finger in the dish ; the Frenchman would love it beyond his nicest Kiékshawes . 'T is good against poverty . An excellent Restorative for broken fortunes . It forces men out of Gaoles to preferments . But you must know that 't is also very dangerous for some constitutions ; for it makes some peoples heads fall off from their shoulders , others dye upon a Gibbet , and sends many an one a pickpack to the Divell : upon which consideration I have thought fit to set down a necessary preparatory or course of physick which every man ought to run who intends to be rightly qualified that he may feed sweetly on it , find it concoct rightly , and turn to his proper nourishment , the onely use it was intended for . The Method to be us'd by our Patient . First you must abstain from reading Divinity books , and hearing sermons three years , when you have done so , you must go to Rome and take Orders there ; when you return you must shift your cloathes to the very skin , and put on any habit you please but a Papist's , then you must preach one twelve-moneth which being duely observed , take but the quantity of an Hasle-nut of the following Pill for a fortnight , together without intermission , and you are right . Recipe . The Pill : Of Hypocrisy 5 scruples ; self-denying one drachme ½ of Impudence 9 ounces , Religion . q. s. powder of a sear'd Conscience 7lb : water of Orphan's tears 1 Rundlet full ; Church-lands as much as you can get ( for that 's a scarce Commodity , and almost all bought up ) 3lb : ¼ of the rust of a weathercock , ℥ of Atheisme to role up the Pill to make it go down with the lesse obstruction . Make all but the last drugg into a masse ; take of it ( as I said before ) the proportion of an Hasle nut every morning next your heart , for the space of time above mentioned , and you may partake freely of the Oleo , and yow l find your self after a little use fit to make an ingredient in such another when that 's spent . Probatum erit .

You Treacherous Citizens , J call you , as you are , How comes it so to passe that you with Indas share ? Blot out your Dagger now your Arms their chiefest grace ; Iack Straw in stead shall put his Thatching-Knife in place . You Valiant Citizens , I call you , as you were , Time out of mind , untill this present Conquering yeare : It pities me to see how hartless you are growne , That dare not budge nor stir for to preserve your owne . You cowardly Citizens , I call you a● you are , Our miseries they increase , be sure you shall have share : How beardless boyes doe tread , ( the world will laugh to see ) Your honor in the dust , with shame and Obloquie . You wise grave Citizens , J call you as you were , Whilst you your selves maintain'd your Priviledges cleare : My heart doth burst to see your King , your Laws , your Rights , Abus'd , infring'd , o'rethrowne all by your oversights . You foolish Citizens , J call you , as you are , Of Goods , of Rights , of Lives , you shall be stripped bare ; Where are your eyes become ? you cannot see at all How neare you are unto a lamentable fall . You wealthy Citizens , I call you as you were , Whil'st in protection you were of your Soveraigne deare : But now the case is alter'd the clean contrary way , Your Riches are become the plundring Souldiers prey . You poore base Citizens , I call you as you are , Jn what a case are you ? how mean , how vile , how bare ? What you your selves have got , nor you , nor yours enjoy . Dam-me it 's mine will sweare some upstart Souldiers boy . The second Part. To the same Tune . Square-headed Citizen● , J call you as you were , Whil'st you the helme of Iustice most equally did steere , But now your giddy heads have turn'd you all so round , Of Law , or of R●lig●on we can have nothing found . Round-headed Citizens , I call you as you are , For by your orbed forms , You put all out of square : The Kingdom quite undone , your selves shall not escape , Expect no further bliss , but Murder , Theft and Rape . You honored Citizens . I call you as you were , Whil'st you reserv'd a strength , to keep your selves from fear ; But all your Hold's are lost , by your grave wisedomes pates , If you your Houses keep , It 's more then is your fates . You horned Citizens , I call you as you are , What cockolds could endure Corrivalls thus to share ? Content I doe confess , It is a Wittalls part , Let nothing J have said , pray strike you to the heart . Farewell kinde Citizens , all things but Horns are deare , And no one may we thanke but you , for this same geare .

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

TO THE Worshipful Mr. P. D. B. Most Worthy Patriots , I Presume to Dedicate this Pamphlet to you , ( for I can call it no more , and I presume you will stile it no less ) considering your coupled Loyalty ; and withal to inform you , that there is nothing contained herein , against the Loyal Party of that Emporium of Christendom , and Metropolis of London , but only the Dissenters : which I think I am in duty bound to do , and requires the Pen of a Cleveland , though never so Sarcastick , to reduce them to Obedience . I beseech you be not offended at my Endeavours , because they are honest , and no ways injurious , and little offensive , but what may pass the censure of a Scholastick tick without blame ; at least , under the notion of a Licentia Poetica , if Burlesque Rhythme may be allowed it . I do not in the least question your approbation primâ facie ; but if you disrelish any thing herein , I am so much a Stoick , that I value not your Censure or Opinion : yet however , with permission , give me leave to acquaint you , that if you disapprove of it , I know who will not . This is all at present from Your Humble Servant , PHIL ANAX . POSTSCRIPT . IF the Author's Name in the close of the Epistle cramps your Vnderstanding , let me advise you , as a friend , to consult the Worshipful Dr. OATES , ( who has been of most ( I had almost said all ) Religions : ) and if he has not forgot his Greek and Latine , as much as he has forfeited his Religion and Honesty , I believe he may be your Interpreter . A Murnival of Knaves , &c. WHen that the poor oppressed Press Groan'd under the Cacoethes Of Scribling ; when Baboon and Pug Skirmisht in Paper-Dialogue ; When Vile Tom's son did disembogue At one another Ruffian , Rogue , Profligate Villain , Fidler , Knave , Buffoon and Rascal , rail and rave In such foul terms as these ; a Pack Enuf to break a Porters back , Or sham at th' sharpest scolding rate The Wastcoteers of Beline's-gate : When one of these loose Pamphleteers Was very near losing his Ears , And did through Wood-loop-hole survey The Market on a welcome day ; Nay , had he not begg'd off close-keeping . And Fine , good faith , had paid for 's peeping : Then ' t was . I blush in Burlesque Rhyme To think on 't ; but I 'le tell the time , ( Lest that the Whiggs shou'd sneer and prate , And say this story is sans Date . ) New style ( to make no more ado , ) It was i' th' year Fourscore and Two , The Ape of five times eight and one ; And this to our stark shame was done , By Pladded Blow-Cap and Bog-Trotter , Whilst Resident here Haddu Ben Otter . Then Whig and Tory took the Field , Fought briskly , but would neither yield ; The one of Caledonian Race , T'other has an Hibernian Face ; True English Guelphs and Gibelines , Darting their Quils , like Porcupines . O how the Moor and Turk will fleer At Christians , when as once they hear , At one another how they jeer , And raunt and taunt and domineer ! Nay , Teaze and Scold , and Rail downright At Hodge and smiling Heraclite , When half a quarter of their Sense , Will baffle Whiggs Impertinence ; And all that Gang , except these two , Deserve to Hang , had they their due . Of these Dissentions what 's the Cause ? In truth a second Good old Cause , Started by some of Vxbridge-strain . ( May it be ne're started again ) Persons and Names of Men I 'le spare , But blame their Vices , that 's Play fair : As to their Tone , their Garb , their Gate , I 'le such a story true relate , And give Jack such a Character , That you 'l need no Interpreter . Have you not heard a squeaking Ape , Tire the Gods with shril-mouth'd gape , As if the Heavens cou'd not hear , Unless he rend the Hemisphere , Or that the Gods are now grown old , Or thick of hearing by catcht cold ? 'T is Prodigie all o're , yet true , Listen , you 'l hear what he can do . He can outgape bang'd unbrac'd Drums With sticks two , fingers eight , two Thums , Thunder - outnoise with 's deep-mouth'd Bass , Outbray the Phlegmatick dull Ass ; With a strange noise laying Hens outcackle , Gossips Out-chat in Prittle-prattle , ( Whose Musick , if compar'd to thee , Is pretty , taking Harmonie ; ) Outgrunt the Babe of Farrowing Sow , Outlow little Irish Runt or Cow , Outbellow too her Consort-Bull , Out-scold the strong-lung'd Drab and Trull , Outbay in full cry Packs of Dogs , Outcroak the ugly Toads and Frogs , Th' Inhabitants of Fens and Bogs ; Outhollow Huntsmen in full speed , Outhum the Bittern in a Reed , Outroar the Waves dashing 'gainst Rock , Outscreak the gay-plum'd Bird Peacock , Outbawl Ships Crew in Storms at Sea , Without a Peripneumonie ; Outhowl Hell's Hound with triple sconce , Outshout Routs yelping all at once ; Outsqwaul , by help of potent Tipple , The froward Infant wean'd from Nipple ; The Lion and great Gun outrore , Through his large , wide-mouth'd Cannon-bore ; Outscream a Holy , Zealous Sister , When with lips sanctifi'd has kist her , And tap'd and spigoted her Bung - Hole , neighbour to Confines of Dung ; Outmew grim Malkin can this Fop , Making Amours on the house top ; Outsqueak unoyl'd door , ungreas'd Cart - Wheel , in Gend Balads bearing part ; Outsound the Cataracts of Nile , Deafning all round they say a Mile ; Outyawn a wide Hiatus too With ease which you or I can't do . Nay this Clerks bawling , harsh-nos'd Tones , Are far more dismal than the Grones Of Men dying o' th' Foul Disease , ( Whose aking Bones disturb all ease ) The Racking Gout , the Stone or Colick ; But this in him 's a holy Frolick . Shou'd a Turk hear 't , by 's Fathers Beard He 'd swear 't was the worst voice e're heard ; By Alla and by Mahomet , He 'd not that hideous noise forget ; Papists by th' Mass ; the wandring Jew Pawns Tetragrammaton 't is true ; And with true Christians , all conclude , The Gentry , Commons , Multitude , 'T is but an hypocritick Tone , Mixt with a feigned Sigh and Grone , To gain their Parties great Applause , And to maintain the Good old Cause , Contrary to establisht Laws . And wonder too how it can be , They don't , who hear him constantly , Lose th' otocoustick Faculty . Thus you have all the various Notes , Warbled through Puritanick Throats , As deep-mouth'd Bass , soft Mean , shrill Treble , And all not worth small stone call'd Peble . 'T is the Dissenters new Sol Fa , And every Note above Ela ; Or if you please , 't is nothing but The Presbyterians Gamut . Now Railing Rabshakeh surcease , Leave off your Flouts for shame , Peace , Peace . His Auditors it plainly appears , Have all of them Sanctified ears . I 've done with his Stentorian voice , And glad I am out of the noise . But now I 'le launch into the Seas Of his rare other Qualities , His rich Endowments and his Arts , His Corporal and mental parts : He has Fingers Ten , and eke Ten Toes , ( A French Twang in an English Nose ) If not Adonibezeckt by Just Judgment for his villany . Spits forth in Pulpit Superstition , Bauls out Rebellion and Sedition , Belches more Flames and Fire too , Than Mongibel and Strombolo ; A Kirk-Buffoon , can wink and pray , And blindfold teach to Bliss the way : Heaven's Newsmonger , can tell a Tale , And bang't about with his Tong-flaile , Strengthned by Female-Candles , and Fortified with the fat o' th' Land ; Has good Church-vailes , but yet no sense , By white-apron'd Benevolence . Can squeeze his Eyes close ; shrivle up Nose , Th'Organ through which he sings in Prose ; Whose Canting makes some laugh , some weep , And some oft-times fall fast asleep . His Preachments stuft with Hums and Haws , And patcht up with the Good old Cause , ( That Babe of Grace , Brat of their Loins , Got 'twixt Scotch and Geneva Groins ) With Lord ! in Prayer , O Lord thou knowst We know nought , Lord , Great Lord of Hosts ! Thus breaking off , leaves sense and Wit To be found out by th'Hearers ; yet , Let the Prophane say what they will , He makes a Moving-Sermon still , And before th' end is left i' th' lurch , And People all drop out o' th' Church , But some awd Wives , 'bout six or seven , Just by the Pulpit , bound for Heaven , But God know's when , who all things know's , No body else ( as I suppose ) If they have none but such Guides blind , As these , to Cultivate the Mind ; Crying through zeal , Ah Pretious Man ! How plain , when as he first began , He made the Text and Context too , Both to weak me , and eke poor you ? What work he made on 't ? Oh such work , As might convert a Jew or Turk ! How he did tumble o'r the Text , Tho i' th' Original perplext ; And mine'd it small , to th' end it might Digest with th' weakest Appetite ? What Comforts , nay , what Truths Soul-Saving Flow from him , worth hearing and having ! It pierc'd my heart , and made me Grone , As well as Goody Such-a-one . But Aged Dames , go to , go to , You over-do , in truth you do ; For 't has been said b'unlucky spittle , You cou'd not hear one word or tittle ; For you were all born , or deaf grown , By Sickness not fit to be known . He , when the Spirit moves , can Pray Extrumpore three hours per day ; And if in all that time , of Sense One word drops from him , I from thence - Forth to hear him will b'always bound , Tho I 'd first be set quick i' th' ground . He can en cuerpo Prate , when Zeal Hath warm'd him throughly , and then ree● Cross Diameter o' th' Pulpit , role From th' Arctic to th' Antarctic Pole Of his Suggestum , teach you th' way Unto Terra Incognita . He 's th' walking Monument or Gin Of Actual and Original Sin , Who with starcht Gravity and Grace Moves to a holy Cinque-a-pace : Nay he can dance Geneva-Jigs To Bagpipes that outsqueak stuck Pigs ; Yet thinks 't is not when he does do 't , The Sensuality o' th' foot ; If you judge so , you 're much i' th' dark , 'T is a Zealous Frisk before the Ark , Lavalto , Capriol or Kick , No Mimies or Jack-Puddings Trick ; He 's no such Person , Sir , I ll vouch ye , But a Religious Mammamouchie . Bishop in Surplice , worse him scares Than Spirits in sheets , or Garden-Bears ; Hates Choristers with sweet Sol , Fa , His Tones being ten Notes 'bove Ela ; But twangs through th' Nose , like unset Chimes , Hopkins and Sternholds groveling Rhymes . Th' Organ well-tun'd brings him to Fits , And stare like one quite out of 's Wits ; Or in plain language , Sir ( a sig For gawdy words ) glares like dead Pig. His upper-Garment's Cap Calot , Tipt with white like black Jack or Pot , And lin'd with loggerheaded Sot : Serjeant Divine o' th' Cois that can Outspawl , outspit Asthmatic Man. The outer's a black Cloak to hide Knavery , Ells two long , three wide , Which swathes the Corps of Bigot Lad , Like Mangie Scot lapt up in Plad . Cloak , whose base Tenant ne'r was Loyal , Nor can endure Duke that 's Royal ! Cloak , that dost all Rebellion shrowd , In one that 's Spiritually Proud ! Cloak , that doth walking Treason wrap , And sometimes too a Swinging Clap ! Cloak , whose Jack-Pudding-Tricks we know Makes Monarchie a Puppet-Show ! Cloak , who dost hate each Ruling Thing , And woud'st set up a Grand-Dogue King ! Cloak , where all Vices crowded dwell ! Cloak , only for the Devil of Hell ! Therefore I leave thee sans farewell . Round Railing Throat he ever wore A Band , like that 'bout neck of Moor , Which by that Crew is call'd Round-Robin ; With Bandstrings small dangling like Bobin , Wherewith he play 's all 's Pratling while , Enuf to make your Worship smile ; Nay more , wer 't not before the Altar , Enuf to make Towzer break Halter . The ornaments round top of Fist , Which some more properly term Wrist , Are Cuffs , so call'd , in number twain , Just and no more , without Lace , Plain , Of Sleasy Holland so deep and wide , They 'd serve for Muckender hung by 's side , To wipe him in 's hot fit ( no harm , I hope ) and reach to keep him warm Fro' th' Carpus to the middle arm . I think I need not make more stir About this Linsey-Wolsey Sir , You 'l know him by this Character . I think I promis'd it before , And therefore I will do 't no more . But now I 'm come unto the A — Of this untoward Balad-Farse , He shall not dye the death of Dog , Sans Epitaph , or Epilogue , Call 't which you please , I don't much matter , I 'll say as Taffy does , Have at her . He is a Foe to Prophane people , And goes to Houses yclep'd Steeple ; A Skittish Jade , but he 'l not tire , Tho as Stew — Wh — he swinks for hire . A Pulpit-Boutefeu , Church-Cracker , A Fervid , painful Cushion-Thwacker ; The Kirks Fisgig , Wildfire , or so , The States new Cacafuego , And so resolve to let him go . Now that I have ranged thus far With General Particular , Pardon me cause'ts a foolish Trick , As well as Roman Catholick ; I 'l leave them quiet , and be gon , Resolving to assault poor Don. The first that treads this Burlesque Stage , Is the State-Mimick of our Age , A pretty Pigmy , lank with care , Like Jugler looks in Bartle-Fair , Or th' Chitty-fac'd poor thing appears , When Hors'd like Creature before Bears ; He winks to understand the Sense Of what is given in Evidence , With ominously Neck awry , Wou'd you know ? faith I know not why . On whom kind Nature did engrave The true proverbial mark of Kn — Who winks with one eye , looks with t'other , 'S not to be trusted , though nown Brother . All Creatures hear with Ears ? you lye ; For little Tony hears with 's eye ; No Treason's this , nor Blasphemy : A winking , pinking , dapper Don , Sire of th' Association ; A Brat o' th' little Lord's cold brains : Methinks th' Abhorrers of such strains At length shou'd shame this Pygmie-Elf To an Abhorrence of himself . The Issue both of 's Head and Tail ( If weakness can beget a Male , Or be so weapon'd with a Tool To make a Child , I shou'd say Fool ) Compare , and then let me prevale With you to hear me out my Tale. The Son 's Purse-proud and Fortune-fat , Now Fortune favours you kno what . The Sire 's a Crafty Chit , a Grave ( In plain unwelted Saxon ) Kn — So that 't wou'd strangely puzzle all The Rabble Astrological To Schematize to thee , or me , The Son's Wit , or Sire's Honesty . Yet the last some accursed Fate Doth ominously praedestinate , Or Haggard Witch , some Daemon Vile , Or the Ill Genius of this Isle Preserves this Bagatel to be The Tap'd Plague of these Kingdoms three . Yet he cou'd never ha' surviv'd So long , but that he is Cat-liv'd . His Soul 's a Blank ( pardon th' Expression ) Apt to receive any Impression Of Maxims fetcht from Rome or Hell , By Loyola , or Machiavel . A Charles to day , to morrow Nol ; Nay let them Queen Quean Orange-Mol , All 's one to him , let the World prate-on , As long as he can save his Bacon . By help of Bow-dy'd Conscience dapple , With all these Humours he can grapple , Nay with as many more as these ; O thou Brave , Pygmie-Hercules ! The spawn of him of whom 't was sed By Witty Peg of France since dead , More Heretics he did create In Church , than Florentine in State ! He has run through the Torrid Zone Of Forty eight , and Forty one . But here I think I err in time , Onely to gratifie my Rhyme . Hang 't , 't is but a Poetic Trick , And often us'd in Rhetoric , Which we dare say ( tho done perforce ) 'T is but the Cart before the Horse , And so is not a pin the worse . Has seen a Cobler Lordifid ' , Hath long Conversed with Count Pride , ( And as it hath bin lately said By States-man Sage , who is since dead , If it seems good to powerful Fate , A Dray-horse may be a Horse of State ; And some of them , who then did Rule , Had Reason less than Horse or Mule. ) Nay , he hath had the lucky fate To sit with the Council of State , And Committee of Safety too , Which was no easie Task to do ; The Jointed-Baby , Bartle-Bauble Adored by the Giddy Rabble , The prime Court-Puppet of the City , Both wise in their conceit , and witty ; Promoter of each Sect and Schism , The Directory , Catechism , Made by Westminster-Sanhedrim , And ( when with Zeal fill'd to the brim ) Their Orator , or rather Prater , Oracle , Grand Associater . The Hector of the Good old Cause , An Enemy to wholsom Laws ; A Friend ( if any ) unto those Who are the Nations Public Foes . None sitter is to Rule the Rost Than such a one , who hath engrost All the Intrigues of Politic In Monarchie and Anarchie . Where 's sleepy Conscience all the while ? Thou Jack o'both sides in this Isle ! With Conscience great , or Conscience small , Or Conscience sear'd , that 's worst of all , Or just like Conscience none at all . Nay farther , for I needs must tell ye , He has a Commonwealth in 's Belly , Which by some State-Emetics may Be violently purg'd away , Or otherwise he 'll lingring lie Of this State-Tympany , and die . Unto that end I 'll have a bout , And try to fright away his Gout ; Cowardly Gout ! for shame retreat , Rack not his Petitoes with heat And Pain ; for he God wot's grown cold , And Nature's crumbling him to Mold By thee , yet let him die in peace , Rather than live thus our disease ; No matter which way , so we 're rid Of this Sham-plotting Whirlegig ; This little Lord , but huge grand Whig , The People's Dagon , Demi-God , The Rabbles Darling , small Birch-rod Of Loyalty , a Whisling Blade , The Page of Honour , Lancepresade Of Valour , Pickaninny-Peer , Who minds his Hits , Fight Dog , fight Bear Patron of all Dissenters , and The Demogorgon of Whigland ; For which , 't is said , he must resigne His better share in Caroline ; Nay he shall be , and 't please the Pigs The Anti-Yorkist of the Whigs , Or else be Canoniz'd by me The Whigs little St. Anthony . This Polish-Kingling since , they say , Who scarce cou'd creep , is run away , ( ' Twou'd vex a Dog to lic and peep , And see a skewer'd Pudding creep ) To spend to 's monumental praise The ragged remnant of his days , 'Till 'mongst the Boorish Belgian Rout His stinking snuff of life goes out ; Where he may be of Devils the worst In all their Cacarchie accurst , Provided he proves moderate , And with his horns push not the State. I like his choice , 't is very well , He has the shorter cut to Hell ; For 't is the lowest Moorish Bog , That e'er was Tenanted by Frog : Now he and they can't but agree , Being Rebels ab origine . Yet if he c'er return again , And cross the Pond , which some call Main , May he and 's Myrmidonian Whigs Be sows't in 't , and made food for Grigs ; But he hath since cut such a Sham , That they ha' made this nocent Lam A Burgh-Master of Amsterdam . In Batrachomyomachie , Whether it be by Land or Sea , If Frogs and Mice once more fall out , Then he wou'd be , without all doubt , Chosen within those Countries Low , On one side Generalissimo . Now we have done with little Man Zachaeus , a right Publican , Exit ; and enter on the Stage The Mighty Anak of this Age ; Who first appears in fur-fac'd-Gown , Great Officer of London-Town , ( Or as some please to term it City ; But in good sooth , the more 's the Pity ) Of May-pole-Stature , high Renown , Who is so base and sordid grown , That some by old Tradition dare , And others positively swear , He 'd craving Colon satisfie With a Six-penny-Mutton-pie : Yet if he was resolv'd to Feast , And to Regale that Canine Guest , Th' Ordinary Club at height must be Inflam'd with sum of pence thrice three , ( But here 's the Devil on 't , good Sir , What will become o' th' Caterer ? Poor Rogue ! he 'll be harrast with care For to Adjust this Bill of Fare . ) So that this great Jolt-head of Veal Will die indebted many a Meal To his poor Carcas , that will crave Bread , for the Lord's sake , in the Grave . It might ha' prov'd a Gorgeous Prey Unto those Animalcula , Who Banquet in all Tombs on dust , But in his Monument Fast they must . The Phrygian Fabler all agree Taught Birds and Beasts their A B C , Might teach those Insects for to wish , ( Being depriv'd of such a Dish ) That Mighty Jove wou'd let him be The pendent Fruit of Fatal Tree , Devour'd , in answer to their prayer , By blood-beakt-Canibals o' th' Air. He 's fraught with nought but Plot and Sham , Disgrace , hoth of his Sire and Dam ; The Nation 's Shame and the Cities Stain , Which can't be rinsed out by the Main ; Scorn of his Sex , Nature's By-Blow , The Chief of Cuckolds all a row , Who has the cursed thirst of Gold , As naturally as he of old ; Nay and withal ( for all your Jeers ) His Punishment too , Asses Ears . Therefore some other thing will be Invented by the Deity To make this wretched Miser feel Nemesis angry Lash of Steel . The day after Simon and Jude , ( Saint I omit , to please the Rude Ill-manner'd Whigs , whom Jack doth teach To use the Irreverence of their Breech ( I 'll say no more t' avoid Commotion ) I' th' highest Act of their Devotion ) Were he on foot he wou'd appear The Gawdiest Pageant that is there ; But mounted on his Palfrey Stout , The onely Centaur mongst the Rout , And when on Steed once fixt and set , Looks like Baboon , not Marmoset . The latter is a thing too small To represent great Lout withal . In Ignoramus he 's well read , As some are in old Hollinshed ; And know's how to patch up the Pannel , For which some wish him lap 't in Flannel ; Or his Executors pay five pound , And break his heart , tho' under ground : For he that wou'd not Club his shilling For Corpse alive , will ne'er be willing , When dead , and laid among the Croud , Be charg'd with such a costly Shroud , Or give such a Prodigious Sum For 's Voyage to Elysium : Nay others judge he will not spare The Ferry-Man of Hell his Fare ; But rather wander all alone On gloomy banks of Acheron . He is the City's Demagogue , Whom some call Fool , but most call Rogue . Wit he has little ; but if any , 'T is onely how to turn the peny . But Rogue enuf ; a Sneaking Fop , A sordid Miser , mere Milk-sop . He 's very Caballistical In Tavern-Clubs , Harangues them all , ( For English-Prate , if you 'll afford Such a good , modish Gallic Word ) With whites of Eyes , expanded Hands , And Speech Larded with If 's , Buts , An ds , With gross Rebellion , horrid Treason , During all that Nocturnal Season , 'Bove Statute-Madness , gross Non-sence , And such a Stock of Impudence , That without rudeness of a Ly , Some of the Gang cry Pish , nay Fy ! This done , all 's done , and too much too , Yet not then without much ado . But when Bow 's Curfew rings thrice three , That doth refresh their memory ; 'T is late , and some Tory may say , They turn the Night into the Day . Then they arise with wearied Crupper , And some of them reel home to Supper ; But this same Chair-man scorns to be Guilty of such Extravagancie . Then he begins like Acres-wise To drop , as every one his size , So break up th' Evening-Exercise . And then they all shake-hands , and part With every one an aking heart , Saying , If Popish Heir appear , We all of us shall be , I fear , Involv'd in bloud up to each ear . Give me leave now tell y'a story Of a Mischievous Waggish Tory Who one night ( 't was not very late ) Palabrous was , that 's full of prate , And did Inveigh egregiously 'Gainst this same Alderman-Would-be . Now all the while that he did Chatter About this great and weighty Matter , It chanc'd in Kitchin-corner stood His Man , like Image made of wood , Who gap'd and suckt in the discourse , Took it for better or for worse , As Men do Wives . Torie , they say , His worth most truly did display , His Vertues , Parts , the great and less , As also his Closefistedness . His Man i' th' fire-nook , who heard all , With Patience very great , not small , Told's Master more , no doubt , than all . ( For stories Snow-ball-like do gain By being roll'd from brain to brain . ) At which enrag'd , he soon did leap From Newgate-street unto West-cheap , Where Tom and Dick , and Jack and Hal Keep their Rebellious Cabal . I wonder thou canst live among A Wicked Crew , a Whiggish Throng , Thus uninfected ( Faith and Troth ) Being near the Castled Behemoth , That Catabaptist Whig , that can Outly , outcheat each Mortal Man , And that same quondam Gate-hous'd Fop , That o're the way keeps a large Shop , Who is no Christian , nor yet Jew ; And that some will aver is true ; As well as Promise and Py-Crust , When made , that broken be they must . But to be faithful in my work , By 's Head you 'll guess him to be Turk . What makes thee prove a Tory still ? Faith ! 't is thine obstinate nown self-will . But to the Man , read him who list , A Trojan false as ever pist ; A Man , if he deserves that name , So Profligate and void of Shame , That he 'll pretend to any thing , But Fear God , and Honour th' King. As he grows old he will grow Bolder , ' Till's Head by th' Pole's higher than Shoulder . That Elevation of the Pole May much advantage his own Soul , And prove more grateful to the State , Than that of old , or this of late , If Souls access to Heaven have More from the Gallows than the Grave . He 's Skill'd in Mischief like Romes Pope , Or Priests with a Canonic Cope . He 's one of those that wou'd , in sum , Extirpate Kings as did old Rome ; And for a poor thing too , they say , A Suppos'd Chast LVCRETIA , Then set up a Democracie ( The Darling of the Mobile ) To Rule , and without more ado The Tyrants play , and Devils too . Next Father Gray-Beard he appears With inch of hair and Swaggering ears , But Peruqu't now shrowds like Man Sage The Baldness of his Lust and Age. Tom Popular , let me thee advise To hearken to the Orphans Cries ; 'Cause Charles does his , Tom Fool , must you Shut up the City-Chequer too ? Your Nest now sure well-feather'd is By serving our Metropolis ; Therefore the Babes will cry Pray Pay , For it is now past Twelvemonth-day . In City Maiden-Fields call'd More Lives one has bin a Bawd and Whore , ( And yet 's no Tenant of the Grave ) As long as he bin R — and K — A Haunter to Creswellian Stews , A shame to Christians , Turks , and Jews , Where he with Lustful appetite Revel'd , till past the Noon of Night , That Brisk Aurora 'gan to peep On slothful Mortals fast asleep , ( Except Gold-finder , or Black-sweep , Burse-Sentinel with Bandeleer , And Lanthorn'd , Rusty-Halberdeer . ) Casting her eyes about her , she Espi'd , and as soon blusht to see This Superannuated Satyr , White , hairless-pated Erra-Pater , Lockt in the Embraces of her Arms , Who had a Mine of Graceful Charms ; The Fulsom'st sight that e'er was seen , To see old Sixty grope Sixteen . City-Priapus , Campaigne-Bull , Prostitute to each Hackney-Trull , Hast thou the Impudence to think , Rank He-Goat , Carrion that does stink Above ground , that thou' rt fit to be The Guardian of Virginity ? Methinks the colder Snow of Age Sho'd cool at least thy Cod-piece Rage , If not quite quench thy Amorous Fire , Weak in the Act , strong in desire . Had he but Youth , and strength of Chine , He might contend with Messaline , Who , when o'er-rid by twice twelve , cried I 'm tired , but yet not satisfied : Nay some do groundedly Post-sage , That had he liv'd within that Age , When there was one , and one alone , Call'd Petticoated-Papess-Joan , He soon to Rome had made his flight ( Without what th' Adage says is light ) To try her Antichristian Charms . Old Soldiers love to be in Arms. And pray , why may not London-Knight , To sate Inord'nate Appetite , Venture as far for German Punk With credit , as a German Monk , Whose Vertue and Prolific Skill , If but as brisk as Lust and Will , He may depend o' th' Priests Success , And re-impregnate Holiness ? Who doubts it ? but by th' Haly-Rood , ' Twou'd prove a Monstrous , Spurious Brood ; A Holy , Anglo-German-Brat , Dutch Sooterkin , and English Rat , Which must , in spight o' th' Casuist , Be nam'd the Calvino-Papist . Well , Hugonot ! thou sneering Fool ! They 've now a Porphr'y Cucking-stool ; That , till the very Day of Doom , Shall no Tiresias be in Rome For to defile that Holy Chair With any false Priests , or foul Player . Rome ! the grand Mart of Pious Frauds , Th' Emporium of Pimps , Whores and Bauds Nest of a cursed Gaming Crew : Then Rome take P — or P — take you , For he 's or your's , or some Fiend's due . Others there are that dare assure , That when he 's in the Grave secure ( Being such a Prodigie of Lust ) He 'll Fumble with the Worms in dust , And get ( O pretty sight to see ! ) A numerous , crawling Progeny . There 's one thing more 'gainst him in charge , Wherein I will be brief , not large , Or rather an Advice , that he Wou'd learn to practice Loyalty . Know the vast distance , Sawcebox , come , 'Twixt Royal James and Rascal Tom ; What , make no difference , wretched wight ! 'Twixt a Great Prince and a Poor Knight ? A common City-Servant known ; Who e'er found him a Faithful one ? Unleader'd now thou mayst be made , Or turn an Aged Lancepresade . Die , Die for shame , thou 'st liv'd too long , Turbulent Commoner of the Throng , That we may all with good Presage From that time date our Merry-age . Thus you see Exit Dwarfish Don , The May-pole-Miser too is gon ; And eke also amongst the Herd Our most Salacious Dad-Gray-Beard ; Of all Sedition , Villany , And Mischief , the Triumviri . To make this Trine a perfect Square , Which Learned call Quadrangular , Hearken with reverence and Fear , Divinity brings up the Rear : Come Black-Coat-Bumpkin , Grave Fopdoodle , Shake ears affixt to empty Noddle . Of a Bad Father the Worst Son , The Proteus of Religion : Spawn of an Anabaptist Dipper , Of the Kirk's Catch an Vnder-skipper , Once a Lay-Saint-Audomarist , A Papist and a Calvanist ; Now this , then that , indeed what not ? E'en any thing but good , God wot . As stories tell , ( and 't is no Flam ) O' th' Famous man of Roterdam ; The Papists all so dubious were Of his Religion , that i'th'aer They hang'd his Corps 'twixt Heaven and Hell , Knowing not which t'allot him well ; Much more ought this Lay-Priest to be Serv'd so for his Inconstancie , Till the last Trump ( a dubious Case ) Summons him to his proper place ; There to receive his deserv'd doom , For kindness done to Vs and Rome . This Reverend Doctor of the Manca , Prudent as Quixot's Sancha Pancha , Did gravely foot it round the Town , In Doctors Scarf , and Doctors Gown , With Janizaries two at heel , Ty'd to Morglay's of Bilbo-steel ; Therefore you cannot but him grant , To be of the Church-Militant ; Now walks en Cuerpo , Honest Tite , Scorning to leave the Spaniard quite , 'Cause he being every where denied , Was by the Don Doctorified ; A Renegado ( we 'll go on ) Who wants but Circumcision , Asperse good store , and Pezants true , To make him either Turk or Jew This Learned Sage Philosopher , Needs not read Alec . Rosse over . For this Religious , Goblin Elf Has a Pansebeia in himself . He is Religions Tennis-ball , Bandied and toss'd about by all , From England unto France and Spain , And thence to England back again , A Dulman , a meer Clerk obese , A walking Quagmire of Grease , So Bladder'd by the Can and Pot , That he , like the Heraclot , Values no more the pricks of pins , Then Boys at Foot-ball kicks on shins : And for these Reasons they do say , He 's made Arch-bishop of Bum-bay , 'Cause his Posteriours large and great , Will very well fulfil that Seat. So that promoted to this place , He that had none is call'd his Grace . Though there were other Reasons store , Two , three or four , or less , or more , As followeth such as these are , ( And they indeed are very rare ) As wise as he that rode in quest Of 's Mother-Tongue , a pretty Jest , Or the four-footed Creature dull , Trotting nine miles to suck a Bull. In Travel he hath all out-done , Has Lacquay'd the unwearied Sun All Europe o're , like a Divoto , True by the Figure pars pro toto , Active as Guts and Garbage can Be in so great , though little Man. He has a Voice as loud and yerne , As any Swallow on a Berne , With which he in a squeaking tone Sawsily prates to every one ; Thinking , Proud Fop ! he has no betters , Because he is a Man of Letters . He was so once ; I must confess , When that it was his happiness To be Rome's Post-boy , and made choice Of to be Mercury from Artois . If this does make him Learned , so He is , but nothing else I know . He cannot say his Currat Lex , Nor , though he ought , O Vivat Rex . He frequently breaks Priscian's head , Inhumanely , though long since dead . In Holy Writ some Texts him gall , Particularly Swear not at all ; Besides , another seems but strange Unto him , Be not given to Change ; By which it plainly may be said , I' th Sacred Pages he 's Ill-read : Nay both these sentences would he Expunge , had he the liberty , Were it not for that dreadful Curse ( Than which there cannot be a worse ) Mention'd , which I suppose he knows , Of that Book , in the very close . More of his Vertues I cou'd tell , For which the Doctor knows full well , He 's curs'd by Candle , Book , and Bell , And damn'd by th' Pope of Rome to Hell. Yet now that I have done with all , Particularly the Murnival , I must i' th' Tories Vindication , Whisper a word i' th' ear o' th' Nation ; And that is truly only this , ( Dissenters , take it not amiss ) When Tories swear , indeed they swear , But only 't is because they fear , And know , and hear most certainly , Whigs Cheat and Lye most damnably ; Making Religion Noise and Buz , Enuf to vex a Man of Vz. But to excuse them from that Crime , ( If an Excuse may be in Rhyme ) I will assure you there may be Found 'mongst you as great Rogues as we , For Whoring , Swearing , Drinking too ; For Lying we have nought to do , Nor Shamming , 't is your constant Trade , And will be till the Earth be made A general fire , and it is true , As I said Hypocrite take thy due , And that I certainly thee tell , Thy portion 's th'hottest place in Hell. Thus Whig Damns Whig , and yet they all Are Innocent , both great and small , But I must tell you that 's a Lye , ( Whig , I 'm asham'd of you ) and why . For tho' through ignorance of late , It has been Tom's unlucky Fate To be abus'd , I 'le undeceive The Vulgar ( if they will believe ) 'T was whipping Zac — not whipping Tom , That first discover'd Maidens Bumb , And flogg'd it ; though he , Pious Soul , Design'd the opposite Port-hole To enter , but he first wou'd see How fair Posteriours might be , And then he rationally guest , The thing before was like the rest ; A pretty way in truth to try , Whether a Maid with man wou'd ly ; Next the Clare-Market Priest comes in , Who never counted it a Sin To lye with Woman , Wife , Maid , Whore , And has ( they say ) bored many a score ; But that the worst was when he tried To bless before he occupied ; Who caught the Maid in private room , With Benediction of the Womb , Where he upon the very place , Like Wanton Priest ' gat Babe of Grace , But 't was not ill to ly with her , Because a true Jack Presbyter . Now give me leave for to desine , The Son o' th' Handkercherd Divine ; Who swills until the Noon of Night , And gorges still his Appetite With Viands and Liquors ; but yet then For to avoid the sight of Men , Sleeps where his Drunkenness he got , Like , Holy Presbyterian Sot ; And then at last away he goes Upon his Feet , ( I think with Toes , ) But first 't is possibly he may For 's Lodging in the morning pray , And that is all ; welcome , well gone , Of Holy Father Gratious Son. I care not for the Bullian Jigs , That in Moorefields are danc'd by Whigs ; Of the same Coat , but will conclude , With one Lay-man o' th' Multitude . A Reverend , Grave Pythagoras , But in good sooth a very Ass ; That is endow'd with as much sense , And Learning , ( for all his presence ) As 'mongst School-boys is one and twenty , That can repeat As in praesenti . Yes he has been a Statist too , Yes certainly with much ado ; A Man of great Integrity , That will not pay , nor tell you why , Though a just Debt , only I won't , Is this your Honesty , pox on 't . One that shall sip from place to place , Until his Worship does disgrace His Worship and his Manhood too , And yet shall rail at me , or you , Though I have known him , that I le say , Take drunken Journeys thrice a day , And going home at night 't is verum , Hath Scarified his Index rerum . But in a Tory 't is a Crime Unpard'nable , a Fault sublime ; Yet in a Whig it is but small , A Failing , may be none at all . Great Monarch ! hear now the sad plaint Of your poor people , sick and faint For Parliament and Priviledge , Which nought can cure , but Ketch and Sledge ; Grant their Request if you think fitting , Or send them home to mind their knitting .

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

By Mr. Abraham Cowley , Sir J. Berkenhead , and the Ingenious Author of Hudibras , &c. Victrix Causa Deis Placuit sed victa Poetis . LONDON Printed , for W. Davis . 1682. THE PUBLISHER TO THE READER . I Have been often tempted to admire , since the Publishing Mr. Cowley's Papers , by what fate so excellent a Satyr upon the Times , and so worthy the Author , as the Puritan and Papist , should escape the ingenious Publisher , when at the same time his Copy upon Brutus , and that upon the Bishop of Lincoln's enlargement from the Tower have met with the good fortune to have place there , although they are in some sort , Satyrs upon himself and so unworthy his Name , and the good Company they appear in : that considering the Loyalty of their Arguments , we might , it may be have expected them in Mr. Waller's Works rather than Mr. Cowley's ; and from thence to have been purged by the Wisdom of later and more correct Editions of his Book , together with the Penegyrick to Oliver , and the Elegy on his Death , called the Storm . Both which seem , in a manner , to have inherited the Lot , no less than the Guilt of the Usurper , upon whom they were made : the former , claiming the Laurel , but that it wanted abetter Title to the crown : and the latter , to have so insensibly disappeared on a sudden as if by a resembling fate , it had been snatcht away in the same Storm in which the Tyrant himself was lost . Whether it were an Exeess of Modesty in Mr. Cowly that condemned it as an Abortive , and so , though it had appeared formerly in Print to have no place in his Collection , but to take its fortune with the Blossoms and unripe follies of his Youth : Or whether it were an Excess of good Nature in him that sentenced it to suffer , merely as it was a Satyr and so lookt upon as a piece of persecution , and like Draco's Laws , written in Blood , as we find the best Natures inclined to check and be angry at themselves when once the fit of Choler is over ; I say whether of these were the cause of suppressing it I shall not now presume to examine . But because under the Color of doing Justice to the Satyre , I may be thought to have done Wrong to Mr. Cowly , and only to have borrowed his Name ; to enhance the value of what comes with it , it s own recommendation . To remove such doubts , I shall observe in its Justification , that it first c●me out in the Year 1643. what time he lay at St. Johns Colledge in Oxford , Signed with A. C. though to make the Cypher plainer yet , I doubt not when the Satyr is dully considered , to those that can Judge aright , it will spell his entire name at length . For as the Proportions , the Posture or Design serue as never failing Marks to such as are curious to discern the m●st●rly Hand of the inimitable Titian , or Vandike . So in the adm●red Pieces of our great Masters of Writing , there want not the like bold strokes and life - touches in the Style that evidently betray whose Originals they are . In so much as to convince any who are their Authors , when they discover themselves by their own Light , is altogether , as needless is to hold a Candle to the Sunne . If we believe Horace in his Art of Poetry ( surely in his own Art Horace is as much to be believed , as Aristotle in Philosophy ) he reckons ●●t amongst the Felicities of a good Style , that it cannot be imitated when he says . Ex noto fictum Carmen sequar , ut sibi quivis . Sperat idem , sudat multum , frustraque laboret . Ausus idem — Which is finely render'd by the E. of Roscomon . Begin with Truth , then give invention scope , And if your Style be Natural and smooth , All men will try , and hope to Write as well ; And ( not without much pains ) be undeceiv'd . Now if this be justly esteemed a Master-Piece of Poetry , that what it delivers comes the nearest to our understandinge , at the same time as it is removed the farthest from our imitation , I am very well assured , I shall be acquitted from all suspition of cheating the world with any thing under Mr. Cowley's Name which hath no Title to it , since his Style is no less difficult to Counterfeit , than it is easie to conceive . I cannot think it any reproach to Mr. Cowly for him to walk abroad into the world in good company ; the other two Gentlemen being , both of them celebrated Wits , and of the Loyal party engag'd , in the same interest , and active in the same Cause with himself . And it is no new thing for Wits and Cavaliers , to find out one another and associat together Indeed they were men whose Mirth was so innocent , whose Wit so regular , and whose Conversation so entertaining and agreeable as I cannot but persuade my self , that they themselves would have made choice of no other Company when they were Living , as the Reader can embrace no better , amongst the Dead . The Puritan and the Papist , a Satyr first published in the year 1643. by Mr. Cowley . The Character of the Assembly-man , first printed in the year 1648. by Sir J. Berkenhead . Proposals for farming out Liberty of Conscience , first published in the year 1663. by the ingenious Author of Hudibras . THE PURITAN AND THE PAPIST . A SATYR , By Mr. Abraham Cowley . LONDON Printed for W. Davis , 1681 / 2. THE PURITAN AND THE PAPIST . A SATYR . SO two rude Waves , by Storms together thrown , Roar at each other , Fight , and then grow One. Religion is a Circle ; men contend , And Run the Round in dispute without end . Now in a Circle who go contrary , Must , at the last , meet of necessity . The Roman Cath'lique to advance the Cause Allows a Lye , and calls it Pia Fraus . The Puritan approves and does the same , Dislikes nought in it but the Latin name . He flows with his devises , and dares Lye In very deed , in truth , and verity . He whines , and sighs out Lies , with so much ruth , As if he griev'd , 'cause he could ne'er speak truth . Lies have possest the Press so , as their due , 'T will scarce I fear , henceforth Print Bibles true . Lies for their next Strong Fort ha'th ' Pulpit chose , There they throng out at ' th Preachers Mouth , and Nose . And how ee'r gross , are certain to beguile The poor Book-turners of the middle Isle . Nay to th' Almightie's self they have been bold To lye , and their blasphemous Minister told , They might say false to God ; for if they were Beaten , he knew 't not , for he was not there . But God , who their great thank fulness did see , Rewards them straight with another Vict'rie , Just such an one as Brainford ; and san's doubt Will weary er 't be long their gratitude out . Not all the Legends of the Saints of old , Not vast Baronius , nor sly Surius , hold Such plenty of apparent Lies , as are In your own Author , Jo. Browne Cleric . Par. Besides what your small Poets , said or writ ; Brookes , Strode , and the Baron of the Saw-pit : With many a Mental Reservation . You 'll maintain Liberty , Reserv'd [ your owne . ] For th'publique good the sums rais'd you 'll disburse ; Reserv'd , [ The greater part for your own Purse . ] You 'll root the Cavaliers out , every man ; Faith , let it be reserv'd here ; [ If ye can . ] You 'l make our gracious CHARLES , a Glorious King ; Reserv'd [ in Heav'n , ] for thither ye would bring His Royal Head ; the only secure Roome For Kings , where such as you , will never come . To keep th'Estates o'th'Subjects you pretend ; Reserv'd [ in your own Trunkes ] You will defend The Church of England , 't is your Protestation ; But that 's New-England , by a small Reservation . Pow'r of Dispensing Oaths the Papists claime ; Case hath got leave of God to do the same . For you do hate all Swearing so , that when You 've Sworn an Oath , ye break it streight agen . A Curse upon you ! which hurts most these Nations , Cavaliers Swearing , or your Protestations ? Nay , though Oaths be by you so much abhorr'd , Y'allow God damn me in the Puritan Lord. They keep the Bible from Lay-men , but ye Avoid this , for ye have no Layety . They , in a forraigu and , unknown Tongue pray , You in an unknown Sence your prayers say : So that this difference 'twixt ye does ensue , Fools understand not them , not Wise men you . They an unprofitable zeal have got , Of Invocating Saints that hear them not . 'T were well you did so , nought may more be fear'd In your fond Prayers , than that they should be heard . To them your Non-sence well enough might pass , They'd ne'er see that i' th' Divine Looking-Glass . Nay , whether you 'd worship Saints is not known , For y'have as yet of your Religion none . They by good-works think to be justifi'd , You into the same Error deeper slide ; You think by Works too justifi'd to be , And those ill Works ; Lies , Treason , Perjurie . But oh ! your Faith is mighty ; that hath been , As true Faith ought to be , of things unseen . At Wor'ster , Brainford and Edg-hill , we see , Only by Faith y'have got the Victory . Such is your Faith , and some such unseen way The publique Faith at last your debts will pay . They hold free-will ( that nought thier Souls may ▪ bind ) As the great Priviledge of all Mankind . You 're here more mod'rate , for 't is your intent , To make 't a Priv'ledg , but of Parliament . They forbid Priests to marry ; you worse do , Their marriage you allow , yet punish too : For you 'd make Priests so poor , that upon all Who marry , scorn and beggery must fall . They a bold pow'r o'er sacred Scriptures take , Blot out some Clauses , and some new ones make . Your great Lord Jesuite Brookes publiquely said , ( Brookes whom too little learning hath made Mad ) That to correct the Creed ye should do well , And blot out Christs descending into Hell. Repent wild man , or you 'll ne'er change , I fear , The sentence of your own descending there : Yet modestly they use the Creed , for they Would take the Lord's Pray'r Root and Branch away . And wisely said a Levite of our nation , The Lord's Pray'r was a Popish Innovation . Take heed , you 'll grant ere long it should be said , An 't be but to desire your Daily Bread. They keep the people , ignorant , and you . Keep both the people , and your selves so too , They blind obedienee and blind duty teach ; You blind Rebellion and blind faction preach . Nor can I blame you much , that ye advance That which can onely save ye , Ignorance ; Though Heaven be praised , t' has oft been proved well Your Ignorance is not Invincible . Nay such bold lies to God himself ye vaunt , As if you 'd fain keep him too , Ignorant . Limbus and Purgatory they believe , For lesser Sinners , that is , I conceive . Malignants only ; you this Trick does please , For the same Cause ye've made new Limbuses , Where we may lye imprison'd long ere we A Day of Judgment in your Courts shall see . But Pym can , like the Pope , with this dispence ; And for a Bribe , deliver Souls from thence . Their Councils claim Infallibility , Such must your Conventicle Synod be : And Teachers from all parts of th' Earth ye call , To make 't a Council , Occumenical . They sev'ral times appoint from Meats t' abstain ; You now for the Irish Wars , a Fast ordain : And that that Kingdom might be sure to Fast , Ye take a Course to Starve them all at last . Nay though ye keep no Eves , Fridays , nor Lent , Not to dress Meat on Sundays you 're Content ; Then you Repeat , Repeat , and Pray , and Pray ; Your Teeth keep Sabbath , and Tongues , Working day . They preserve Reliques ; you have few or none , Unless the Clo● sent to John Pym by one . Or Holl●ses Rich Widdow , She who carry'd A Relique in her Wombe , before she marry'd . They in Succeeding Peter take a Pride ; So do you ; for your Master ye've deny'd . But chiefly Peter's Priviledge ye choose , At your own wills to Bind and to Unloose . He was a Fisherman ; you 'll be so too , When nothing but your Ships are left to you . He went to Rome , to Rome you Backward Ride , ( Though both your goings are by some denyed . ) Nor is 't a Contradiction , if we say , You go to Rome the quite Contrary way ; He dy'd o' th' Cross ; that death 's unusual now ; The Gallows is most lik't , and that 's for you . They love Church Musick , it offends your sence , And therefore ye have sung it out from thence , Which shews , if right your mind be understood , You hate it not as Musick but as Good. Your Madness makes you Sing as much as they Dance , who are bit with a Tarantula . But do not to your selves alas appear , The most Religious Traytors that eer ' were ; Because your Troopes Singing of Psalmes do goe ; There 's many a Traytor has marcht Holborn so . Nor was 't your wit this holy project bore ; Tweed and the Tyne has seen those Tricks before . They of strange Miracles and Wonders tell , You are your selves a kind of Miracle ; Even such a Miracle as in writ divine We read o' th' Devils hurrying down the Swine . They have made Images to speak , 't is said , You a dull Image have your Speaker made ; And that your bounty in offerings might abound , Y'have to that Idol giv'n six thousand pound , They drive out Devils they fay ; here ye begin To differ , I confess ; you let them in . They maintain Transubstantiation ; You by a Contrary Philosophers stone , To Transubstantiate Metalls have the skill ; And turn the Kingdoms Gold to Ir'n and Steel . I' th' Sacrament ye differ but 't is noted , Bread must be Flesh , Wine Blood , if e'rt be voted . They make the Pope their Head , y'exalt for him Primate and Metropolitane , Master Pym ; Nay White , who sits i' th' Infallible Chaire , And most infallably speaks Nonsence there : Nay Cromwel , Pury , Whistler , Sir John Wray , He who does say , and say , and say , and say . Nay Lowry who does new Church-Gover'ment wish , And Prophesies , like Jonas , ' midst the Fish , Who can such various business wisely sway , Handling both Herrings and Bishops in one day . Nay all your Preachers Women , Boys , and Men , From Master Calamy to Mistress Ven , Are perfect Popes in their own Parish grown ; For to outdoe the story of Pope Jone : Your Women Preach too , and are like to be The Whores of Babylon , as much as She. They depose Kings by Force ; by Force you 'd do it , But first use fair means to persuade them to it . They dare kill Kings ; and 'twixt ye here 's the strife , That you dare shoot at Kings , to save their Life . And what 's the diff'rence , 'pray , whether he fall By the Popes Bull , or your Oxe General ? Three Kingdoms thus ye strive to make your own ; And like the Pope usurp a Triple Crown . Such is your Faith , such your Religion ; Let 's view your Manners now , and then I 've done . Your Cov'teousness let gasping Ireland tell , Where first the Irish Lands , and next ye sell The English Blood ; and raise Rebellion here , With that which should suppress , and quench it there . What mighty summs have ye squeez'd out o' th' City ? Enough to make 'em Poor , and something Witty. Excise , Loans , Contributions , Pole-moneys , Bribes , Plunder , and such Parl'ament Priv'ledges , Are words which you ne'er learnt in Holy Writ , 'Till th' Spirit and your Synod mended it . Where 's all the Twentieth part now which hath been Paid you by some , to forfeit the Nineteen ? Where 's all the Goods distrain'd , and Plunders past ? For you 're grown wretched , pilfring knaves at last ; Descend to Brass and Pewter ; till of late , Like Midas , all ye toucht , must needs be Plate . By what vast hopes is your Ambition fed ? 'T is writ in Blood and may be plainly read . You must have Places and the Kingdom sway ; The King must be a Ward to your Lord Say. Your Inn'cent Speaker to the Rolles must rise , Six thousand Pound hath made him proud and wise . Kimbolton for his Fathers place doth call ; Would be like him ; would he were , Face and all . Isaack would always be Lord Mayer and so , May always be , as much as he is now . For the Five Members , they so richly thrive , That they would always be , but Members Five . Only , Pym doth his Natural right enforce , By th' Mothers side he 's Master of the Horse , Most shall have Places by these pop'lar tricks , The rest must be content with Bishopricks . For 't is against Superstition your intent , First to root out that great Church Ornament , Money and Lands ; your Swords alas are drawn , Against the Bishop , not his Cap , or Lawn . O let not such lewd Sacriledge begin , Tempted by Henrie's rich succesful Sin. Henry the monster King of all that age ; VVild in his Lust , but wilder in his Rage . Expect not you his Fate , though Hotham thrives In imitating Henrie's tricks for Wives Nor fewer Churches hopes than Wives to see Buried , and then their Lands his own to be . Ye boundless Tyrants , how do you outvy , Th' Athenians Thirty , Romes Decemviry ? In Rage ' Injustice ' Cruelty as far Above those men , as you in Number are . What Mist'ries of Iniquity doe we see ? New Prisons made to defend Libertie ; Our Goods forc'd from us for propri'ti's sake ; And all the Real Non-scence which ye make . Ship-money was unjustly ta'en , ye say ; Unjustlier far , you take the Ships away . The High Commission , you call'd Tyranny , Ye did ; Good God! what is the High-Committy ? Ye said that gifts , and bribes preferments bought , By money and blood too , they now are sought . To the Kings will the Laws men strove to draw ; The Subjects will , is now become the Law. 'T was fear'd a New Religion would begin ; All new Religions , now are entred in . The King Delinquents to protect did strive ; What Clubs , Pikes , Halberts , Lighters , sav'd the Five ? You think the Parl'ment , like your State of Grace , What ever sins men do , they keep their Place . Invasions then were fear'd against the State. And Strode swore last year would be eighty-eight . You bring in Forraign Aid to your designs ; First those great Forraign Forces of Divines , With which Ships from America were fraught . Rather may stinking Tobacco still be brought . From thence , I say : next ye the Scots invite , Which ye term Brotherly assistance right ; For England you intend with them to share : They who alas ! but younger Brothers are , Must have the Moneis for their Portion ; The Houses and the Lands will be your Owne . We thank ye for the wounds which we endure , Whilst scratches and slight pricks ye seek to cure . We thank ye for true real fears at last , Which free us from so many false ones past . We thank ye for the Blood which fats our Coast , As a just debt paid to great Strafford's Ghoast . ) We thank ye for the ills Receiv'd , and all Which yet by your good care , in time we shall . We thank ye , and our gratitude's as great As yours , when you thankt ' God for being beat . The Character of an HOLY-SISTER She that can sit three Sermons in aday , And of those three , scarce bear three Words away , She that can Rob her Husband , to repair A Budget Priest that Noses a long Prayer . She that with Lamb-black , purifies her shooes , And with half Eyes and Bible , softly goes ; She that her Pockets with Lay-Gospel stuffs , And edifies her looks with little Ruffs . She that loves Sermons as she does the rest , Still standing stiff , that longest are the best . She that will Ly , yet swear , she hates a Lyer , Except it be the man , that will Lye by her . She that at Christenings , thirsteth for more Sack , And draws the broadest handkerchief for Cake . She that sings Psalms devoutly next the street , And beats her maid , i th' kitching where none see 't . She that will sit in shop for five hours space , And register the sins of all that pass . Damn at first sight , and proudly dares to say , That none can possibly be sav'd , but they . That hangs Religion in a naked Ear , And judge mens hearts , according to their Hair. That could afford to doubt , who wrote best sence , Moses or Dod on the Commandements . She that can sigh and cry , Queen Elizabeth , Rail at the Pope , and scratch out sudden death . And for all this can give no reason why , This is an holy sister verily . THE Assembly-man ; Written by Sir John Birkenhead ; in the Year 1647. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . i. e. He seditiously stirs up men to fight : he 'll teach others the way whereof himself is most ignorant ; and persuades men to take an Oath , because himself had sworn it before . LONDON , Printed for W. Davis , Anno Dom. 1681 / 2. READER , THis Pamphlet was torn from me by those who say they cannot rob , because all is theirs . They found it where it slept many years forgotten ; but they ' waken'd it , and made false Transcripts . They Exciz'd what they liked not ; so mangled and Reform'd , that 't was no Character of an Assembler , but of themselves . A Copy of that Reformling had crept to the Press . Iseiz'd and stopt it , unwilliug to Father other mens sins . Here therefore you have it ( as 't was first scribled ) without addition of a syllable ; I wish I durst say here 's nothing lopt off . But men and manners are chang'd , at least they say so . If yet this trifle seem born with teeth , you know whose hands were knuckle-deep in the blood of that renouned Chancellor of Oxon ( Arch-bishop LAUD ) though when they cut up that great Martyr , his two greatest Crimes were the two greatest Glories Great Britain can boast of , St. Paul's Church and the Oxford Library . Where you find no coherence , remember this Paper hath suffer'd Decimation : Better times have made it worse , and that 's no fault of J. Berkenhead . THE Assembly-man . AN Assembler is part of the States ' Chattels : nor Priest , nor Burgess , but a Participle that shark's upon both . He was chosen , as Sir Nathaniel , because he knew least of all his Profession : not by the Votes of a Whole Diocese , but by one whole Parliament-man . He ha's sate four years towards a new Religion , but in the interim left none at all : as his Masters , the Commons had along Debate whether Canáles or no Candles , but all the mean while sate still in the Dark : And therefore when the Moon quits her oldLight , and has acquir'd no new , Astronomeres say she is in her Synodes . Shew me such a Picture of Judas as the Assembler , ( a griping , false , Reforming Brother ; rail's at Waste spent upon the Anointed ; persecutes most those Hands which Ordain'd him ; brings in men with swords and staves ; and all for Money from the Honourable Scribes and Pharisees : ) One Touch more ( a Line tyed to his Name-sake Elder-tree ) had made him Judas , Root and Branch . This Assembly at first was a full Century ; which should be reckon'd as the Scholiast's Hecatomb , by their Feet , not Heads : or count them by Scores , for in things without Heads Six score go to an Hundred . They would be a New Septuagint ; the Old translated Scripture out of Heberw into Greek , these turn in to four shillings a day ? And and these Assemblers were begot in one day , as Hercules's fifty Bastards all in one night . Their first List was sprinkled with some names of Honour , ( Dr. Sanderson , Dr. Morley-Dr . Hammond , &c , ) But these were Divines ; too worthy to mix with such scandalous Ministers , and would not Assemble without the Royal Call. Nay , the first List had one Archbishop , one Bishop , and an Half , ( for Bishop Brownrigg was then but Elect. ) But now their Assembly ( as Philosophers think the World ) consists of Atoms ; petty small Levites , whose Parts are not perceptible . And yet these inferior postern Teachers have intoxicated England ( for a man sometimes grow's drunk by a Glister . ) When they all meet , they shew Beasts in Asrick by promiscuous coupling engender Monsters . Mr Selden visit's them ( as Persians use ) to see wild Asses fight : when the Commons have tyr'd him with their new Law , these Bretheren refresh him with their mad Gospel : They lately were gravell'd 'twixt Jerusalem and Jerico ; they knew not the distance 'twixt those two places ; one cry'd twenty miles , another ten , 't was concluded seven , for this reason , that Fishwas brought from Jericho to Jerusalem market : Mr Selden smil'd and said perhaps the Fish , was salt Fish and so stopp'd their mouths . Earl Philip goes thither to hear them spend ; when he heard them toss their National , Provincial , Classical , Congregational ; he swore damnably , that a pack of good Dogs made better Musick : His Allusion was porper , since the Elder 's Maid had a four-legg'd Husband . To speak truth , this Assembly is the two Houses Tiring-room where the Lords and the Commons put on their Visards and Masques of Religion . And their Honors have so sifted the Church , that at last they have found the Bran of the Clergy . Yet such poor Church-menders must Reform and shuffle : though they find Church Government may a thousand wayes be changd for the worse , but not one way for the better . These have lately publish'd Annotations on the Bible , where their first Note ( on the word CREATE ) is a Libel against Kings for creating of Honors . Their Annotation on Jacob's two Kids , is , that two Kids are too much for one man's supper : but he had ( say they ) but one Kid and the other made Sauce . They observe upon Herod , what a Tyrant he was , to kill Insants under two years old , without giving them legal Trial , that they might speake for themselves . Commonly they follow the Geneva Margin , as those Sea-men who understood not the Compass crept a long the Shore . But I hear they threaten a secoud Edition , and in the interim thrust forth a paultry Catechism , which expounds Nine Commandements , and Eleven Articles of the Creed . Of late they are much in love with Chronograms , because ( if possible ) they are duller than Anagrams ; O how they have torn the poor Bishops names to pick out the number 666 ! little dreaming that a whole Bakers dozen of their own Assembly have that beastly number in each of their Names , and that as exactly as their Solemn League and Covenant consist's of 666 words . But though the Assembler's Brains are Lead , his Countenance is Brass ; for he damned such as held two benefices , while himself has four or five , besides his Concubine Lecture . He is not against Pluralities , but Dualities ; He says it is unlawful to have two of his own , though four of other mens ; and observes how the Hebrew word sor Life has no singular number . Yet it is some relief to a sequestred person to see two Assemblers snarl for his Tithes ; for of all kind of Beasts none can match an Assembler but an Assembler . He never enters a Church by the Door , but clambers up through a Window of Scquestration , or steals in through Vaults and Cellars by Clandestine Contracts with an Expecting Patron . He is most sure no Law can hurt him , for Laws dyed in England the year before the Assembler was born . The best way to hold him , is ( as our King Richard bound the King of Cyprus ) in silver chains . He loves to discourse of the New Jerusalem , because her streets are of fine Gold ; and yet could like London as well , were Cheapside paved with the Philosopher's stone . Nay , he would say his Prayers with Beads , if he might have a Set made of all Diamonds : This , this is it which tempts him to such mad Articles against the Loyal Clergy , whom he dresses as he would have them appear ; just as the Ballad of Dr. Faustus brings forth the Devil in a Friars weed . He accused one Minister , for saying the blessed Virgin was the Mother of God , ( 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , as the Ancients call her . ) Another he charged for a common Drunkard , whom all the Country knows has drunk nothing but Water these 26 years . But the Assembler himself can drink Widows Tears though their husbands are not dead . Sure , if Paracelsus's Doctrine were true , ( that to eat creatures alive will perpetuate man's life ) the Assembler were imortal , for he swallows quick Men , Wives , and Children ; and devours Lives as well as Livings , as if he were born in that Pagan Province where None might marry till he had Killed twelveChristians . This makes him kneel to Lieutenant General Cromwel ( as Indians to the Devil ; ) for he saw how Oliver first threw — , then — and can with a wink do as much for — : Like Milo in the Olympicks , by practising on a Calf grew strong enough for a Bull , and could with ease give a lift to an Asse . The great Turk was sending his Ambassador , to congratulate the Assemblies Proceedings against the Christians ; He Ordered them Thanks for Licencing his Alcoran to be printed in English ; but hearing Ottoman Cromwel had talked of marching to the Walls of Constantinople , that Embassy was stopt . The only difference 'twixt the Assembler and a Turk , is , that one plants Religion by the ●ower of the Sword , and the other by the power of the Cymeter . Nay , the greatest strise in their whole Conventicle , is who shall do worst ; for they all intend to make the Church : but a Sepulchre , having not only Plunder'd but Anatomiz'd all the true Clergy ; whose torment is hight'ned in being destroyed by such dull instruments ; as the Prophet Isaiah was sawn to pieces with a wooden Saw. The Assembler wondèrs that the King and his Friends live still in hope ; he thinks them all in St. Clemens's case , drown'd with an Anchor tyed about his neck . He has now got power to visit the Universities ; where these blinking Visitors look on eminent Scholars ( as the Blind-man who saw men like Trees ) as Timber growing within the Root-and-Branch Ordinance . The Assembler has now lest Scholars so poor , they have scarce Rags wherewith to make Paper . A man would think the Two houses intend to transport the Universities , since they load Asses with Colledge-Revenues . For though these Assemblers made themselves Heads , they are rather Hands of Colledges , for they all are takers ; and take all . And yet they are such creeping Tyrants , that Scholars are Expell'd the two Universities , as the old Thracians , forc'd from their Countrey by Rats and Mice . So that Learning now is so much advanced , as Arrowsmith's Glass-eye sees more then his natural . They never admit a good scholar to a Benefice , for the Assemblies Balance is the Lake of Sodom , where Iron swims and Feathers sink . Their Divinity-Disputations are with Women or Lay-men ; and 't is only on one Question ( Episcopacy ) where the Assembler talks all that he and his friends can say , ( though his best medium to prove Presbyters more antient than Bishops , is , that Scribes , Pharisees , Priests and Elders where before the Apostols ; ) Yet if a Scholar or good Argument come , he flies them as much as if they were his Text. This made him curse Dr. Steward , Dr. Lancy and Dr. Hammond , and had he not had more Brass in his Face than in his Kitchin , he had hang'd himself at Uxbridge , and ended with that Treaty . For he has naught of Logick , but her clutch'd fist , and rail's at Philosophy as Beggars do at Gentlemen . He has very bad luck when he deals in Philologie , as one of them ( and that no mean man ) who in his preface to the Reader , sayes , that St. Paul had read Eustathius upon Homer , though the Apostle dyed a thousand years before Eustathius was born . The Assembers Dyet is strangely different , for he dines wretchedly on dry Bread at Westminster ; four Assemblers for 13 pence : But this sharpens and Whets him for supper , where he feeds gratis with his City-Landlord , to whom he brings a huge Stomach and News ; for which Cramm'd Capons cram him . He screws into Families where is some rich Daughter or Heir ; but whoever takes him into their bosom , will dye like Cleopatra . VVhen it rains he is Coach'd ( a Classis of them together ) rouling his Eyes to mark who beholds him . His shortest things are his hair and his Cloack . His hair is cut to the figure of 3 ; two high Cliffs run up his Temples , whose Cap of shorn hair shoots down his Forehead , with Creeks indented , where his Ears ride at Anchor . Had this false Prophet been carryed with Habbakuk , the Angel had caught fast hold of his Ears , and led him as he leads his Auditory . His Eyes are part of his Tithe at Easter , which he boyles at each Sermon . He has two Mouths , his Nose is one , for he speaks through both . His hands are not in his Gloves but his Gloves in his Hands , for 'twixt sweatings that is , Sermons , he handles little else , except his dear Mammon . His Gown ( I mean his Cloak ) reaches but his pockets : when he rides in that mantle , with a Hood on his shoulders and a hat above both , is he not then his own Man of sin with the Triple Crown ? you would swear some honest Carpenter dress'd him , and made him the Tunnel of a Country Chimney . His Doublet and Hose are of dark Blew , a grain deeper than pure Coventry : but of late he 's in Black , since the Loyal Clergy were persecuted into Colors . His two longest things are his Nayls and his Prayer . But the cleanest thing about him is his Pulpit-Cushion , for he still beats the Dust out of it . To do him right , commonly he wears a pair of good Lungs , whereby he turns the Church into a Belfry , for his Clapper makes such a Din , you cannot hear the Cymball for the Tinkling . If his pulpit be large he walks his Round , and speaks as from a Garrison , ( his own Neck is Palizado'd with a Ruff ) VVhen he first enters his prayer before Sermon , he winks and gasps , and gasps and winks , as if he prepared to preach in another world , He seems in a slumber , then in a Dream ; then rumbles a while ; at last sounds forth , and then throws so much Dirt and Non-sence towards Heaven , as he durst not offer to a Member of Parliament . Now because Scripture bids him not curse the King in his thought , he does it in his Pulpit by word of mouth ; though heaven strike him Dumb in the very Act , as it did Hill at Cambridge , who while he pray'd ; Depose Him , O Lord , who would depose us , was made the dumb Devil . This ( one would think ) should gargle his foul mouth . For his only hope why God should hear him against the King , is the Devil himself ( that great Assembler ) was heard against Job . His whole prayer is such an irrational Bleating , that ( without a Metaphor ) 't is the Calves of his Lipps : And commonly 't is larded with fine new words , as Savingable , Muchly , Christ-Jesusnes , &c. and yet he has the face to preach against Prayer in an unknown Tongue . Sometimes he is founder'd , and then there is such hideous Coughing : But that is very seldom , for he can glibly run over Non-sence , as an empty Cart trundles down a Hill. VVhen the King girt round the Earl of Essex at Lestyth●ell , an Assembler complained that God had drawn his People into the Wilderness , and told Him , He was bound in honour to feed them ; for , Lord , said he , since thou givest them no Meat , we pray thee , O Lord , to give them no Stomachs . He tore the Liturgie , because , forsooth , it shackled his Spirit , ( he would be a Devil without a circle ; ) and now if he see the Book of Common-prayer , the fire sees it next , as sure as the Bishops were burned who compiled it . Yet he has mercy on Hopkins and Sternhold , because their Me●●ers are sung without Authority ( no Statute , Canon , or Injunction at all , ) only like himself , first crept into private houses , and then into Churches . Mr. Rous moved those Me●ters might be sequestred , and his own new Rithmes to enjoy the sequestration ; but was refused because John Hopkins was as ancient as John Calvin ; Besides , when Rous stood forth for his Trial , Robin Wisdom was found the better Poet. 'T is true , they have a Directory , but 't is good for nothing but Adoniram , who sold the Original for 400 l. And the Book must serve both England and Scotland as the Directory Needle point's North and South . The Assembler's only ingenuity is , that he prays for an ex tempore Spirit , since his Conscience tells him he has no Learning . His prayer thus ended , he then looks round , to observe the Sex of his Congregation , and accordingly turns the Apostle's Men , Fathers , and Brethren , into Dear Brethren and Sisters . For , his usual Auditory is most-part Female ; and as many Sisters flock to him , as at Paris on Saint Margarets day , when all come to Church that are , or hope to be with child that year . He divides his Text as he did the Kingdom , makes one part fight against ▪ another : or as Burges divides the Dean of Paul's House , not into parts , but Tenements , that is , so as 't will yield most money . And properly they are Tenements ; for each part must be dwelt upon , though himself comes near it but once a Quarter ; and so his Text is rather let out than Divided . Yet sometimes ( to shew his skill in Keckerman , ) he Butchers a Text , cuts it ( just as the Levite did his Concubine ) into many dead parts , breaking the sence and words all to pieces , and then they are not divided , but shattered like the Splinters of Don Quixot's Lance. If his Text be to the occasion , his first Dish is Apples of Gold , in Pictures of Silver ; yet tells not the People what Pictures those were . HisSermon and prayer grin at each other , the one is Presbyterian , the other Independent , for he preaches up the Classes , yet prays for the Army . Let his Doctrine and Reason be what they will , his Use is still to save his Benefice and augment his Lecture . He talks much of Truth , but abhorrs Peace , lest it strip him as naked as Truth ; and therefore hates a personal Treaty , unless with a Sister . He has a rare simpering way of expressions he calls a Marryed Couple Saints that enjoy the mistery ; & a man Drunk , is a Brother full of the Creature . Yet at Wedding Sermons he is very familiar , & ( like that Picture in the Church at Leyden ) shews Adam & Eve without Figleaves . AtFunerals he gives infallibleSigns that the Party is gone to Heaven ; but his chief Mark of a child of God , is to be good to God's Ministers . And hence it is he calls his Preachment Manna , fitted not to his hearers Necessity , but their Palat ; for 't is to feed himself , not them . If he chance to tire , he refreshes himself with the Peoples Hum , as a Collar of Bells to chear up a Pack-horse . 'T is no wonder he 'll preach , but that any will hear him , ( and his constant Auditors do but shew the length of their Ears ; ) For he is such an 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , that to hear him makes good Scholars sick , but to read him is death . Yet though you heard him three hours he 'll ask a fourth , as the Beggar at Delph craves your Charity because he eats four pound of Bread at a Meal . 'T was from his Larum the Watch-makers learn'd their infinite Skrew . His Glass and Text are equaly handled , that is , once an hour : nay sometimes be sally's and never returns , and then we should leave him to the Company of Lorimers , for he must be held with Bit and Bridle . Who ever once has been at his Church can never doubt the History of Balaam . If he have got any new Tale or Expression , 't is easier to make stones speak than him to hold his peace . He hates a Church where there is an Eccho , for it Robs him of his dear Repetition , and confounds the Auditory as well as he . But of all Mortals I admire the Short-hand-men , who have the patience to write from his Mouth : had they the art to shorten it into Sense , they might write his whole Sermon on the back of their Nail . For his Invention consists in finding a way to speak nothing upon any thing ; and were he in the Grand Seignior's power , he would lodge him with his Mutes ; for Nothing and Nothing to purpose are all one . I wonder in conscience he can preach against Sleeping at his Opium-Sermons . He preaches indeed both in season and out of season ; for he rayl's at Popery ; when the Land is almost lost in Presbytery ; and would cry out Fire , Fire , in Noah's Flood . Yet all this he so acts with his Hands , that in this sence too his Preaching is an Handicraft . Nor can we complain that Plays are put down while he can preach ; save only his Sermons have worse sence and less truth . But he blew down the Stage and preach'd up the Scaffold . And very wisely , lest men should track him , and find where he pilfers all his best Simile's , ( the only thing wherein he is commendable , St Paul himself having cull'd Sentences from Menander's Thais , though 't was his worst , that is , unchast Comedy . ) Sometimes the Assembler will venture at the Original , and then ( with the translator of Don Quixot ) he mistakes Sobs and Sighs for Eggs and Collops . But commonly ( for want of Greek and Latin ) he learns Hebrew , and streight is illuminated ; that is , mad : his Brain is broke by a Brickbat cast from the Tower of Babel . And yet this empty windy Teacher has Lectur'd a War quite round the Kingdom : he has found a Circulation of blood for Destruction ( as famous Harvey for Preservation ) of Mankind . 'T was easie to foresee a great Mortality , when Ravens were heard in all Corporations . For , as Multitude of Froggs presage a Pestilence , so croaking Lecturers foretold an Assembly . Men come to Church , as the Great Alexander went to Sacrifice , led by Crows . You have seen a small Elder-tree grow in chinks and clefts of Church-walls , it seems rather a Weed than a Tree ; which , lend it growth , makes a Rent in the Wall , and throws down the Church . Is not this the Assembler ? grown from Schisms ( which himself begot , ) and if permitted , will make the Church but a Floor or Church-yard . Yet , for all this , he will be call'd Christ's Minister and Saint , as the Rebells against King John were the Army of God. Sure when they meet they cannot but smile ; for the dullest amongst them needs must know that they all cheat the people ; such gross , low impostors , that we die the death of the Emperor Claudius , poyson'd by Mushromes . The old Heretickshad Skill & Learning ( some excuse for a Seduced Church ; those were Scholars , but these Assemblers ; whose very Brains ( as Manichaeus's skin ) are stuff'd with Chaff . For they study little , & preach much , ever sick of a Diabetes : nor do they read , but weed Authors , picking up cheap & refuse Notes , that with Caligula they gather Cockle-shells , & with Domitian retire into theirStudie to catch Flies . At Fasts & Thanksgivings the Assembler is the State 's Trumpet ; for then he doth not preach , but is blown ; proclaims News very loud , the Trumpet and his Forehead being both of one Metall . ( And yet , good man , he still prays for Boldness . ) He hackneys out his Voice like a Cryer ; and is a kind of Spiritual Agitant , receives Orders , and spreads them . In earnest the States can't want this Tool , for without him the Saints would scarce Assemble . And if the Zealots chance to fly out , they are charm'd home by this Sounding Brass . There is not on earth a baser Sycophant ; for he ever is chewing some Vote or Ordinance ; and tells the People how savoury it is ; like him who lick'd up the Emperor's spittle and swore 't was sweet . Would the two Houses give him Cathedral Lands , he would prove Lords and Commons to be sure Divino : but should they offer him the Self-denying - Ordinance , he would justisie the Devil and curse them to their faces , ( his Brother Kirk-man did it in Scotland . ) 'T is pleasant to observe how finely they play into each others hands ; Marshall procures thanks to be given to Sedgwick ( for his great pains ) Sedgwick obtains as much for Marshall , and so they all pimp for one another . But yet ( to their great comfort be it spoken ) their whole seven years Sermons at Westminster are now to be sold in Fetter-lane and Precorner . Before a Battail the Assembler ever speaks to the Souldiers ; and the holding up of his hands must be as necessary as Moses's against the Ama●ekites : For he pricks them on , tells them that God loves none but the valiant : but when Bullets flye , Himself runs first , and then crys All the sons of Adam are cowards ! Were there any Metempsychosis his Soul would want a Lodging ; no single Beast could fit him , being wise as a Sheep and innocent as a Wolf. His sole comfort is , he cannot out-sin Hugh Peters : Sure , as Satan hath possessed the Assembler , so Hugh Peters hath possessed Satan , and is the Devil's Devil . He alone would fill a whole Herd of Gadarens . He hath suck'd Blood ever since he lay in the Butcher's Sheets : and now ( like his Sultan ) has a Shambles in his Countenance ; so crimson and torrid , you may there read how St. Laurence dyed , and think the three Children were delivered from his face . This is St. Hugh , who will Levell the Assembler , or the Devil 's an Asse . Yoke these Brethren ; and they two couple like a Sadducee and a Pharisae , on a Turk and a Persian , both Mahumetans . But the Assembler's deepest , highest Abomination , is his Solemn League and Covenant ; whereby he strives to damn or begger the whole Kingdom ; out-doing the Devil , who onely persuades , but the Assembler forces to perjury or starving And this ) whoever lives to observe it ) will one day sink both him and his Faction : for he and his Oath are so much one , that were he halfhang'd and let down again , his first word would be Covenant ! Covenant ! But I forget , a Character should be brief ( though tedious Length be his best Character . ) Therefore I 'll give ye ' ( what He denyes the Sequesterd Clergy ) but a fifth Part. For weigh him single , and he has the Pride of three Tyrants , the Forehead of six Gaolers and the Fraud of twelve Brokers . Or take him in the Bunch , and their whole Assemblyis a Club of Hypocrites , where six dozen of Schismatik spends two hours for four shillings apiece . FINIS A Proposal humbly offered for the Farming of Liberty of Conscience . Written in the year 1663. By the Author of Hudibress . SInce nothing can be dearer unto poor Christians than Liberty , or the free exercise of their Judgments and Conscience , which hath kindled that fire in the bowels of the three Kingdoms , which all the precious blood that hath been shed , during those late Troubles , hath not been able totally to extinguish : And since many of Us , whose Names are affixed , were so profitably instrumental in those late Combustions , as appears all along in our Sermons before the Honourable House of Parliament , in the Years 1642 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46. in exciting the good people of this Nation , to seek and maintain their Christian Liberty , against all Prelatical and Antichristian Imposition whatsoever . And considering that the Little Finger of Apostasie from our first Love , would be a greater burden upon our Tender Consciences , than the Loyns of Episcopacy . We being more bound in Honour than Conscience , cannot totally desist ; neither need any man fear , or so much as suspect , lest any Inconvenience or Alteration should happen in Religion , by the great diversity of Opinions , Tongues , and Languages , tolerated amongst us , unless in the great Babel of Episcopacy , that may possibly be pulled down and destroyed by this our notable Confusion ; for , if the Gospel was wonderfully spread abroad by every mans speaking in his own Language , and the very Enemies thereof astonished , and miraculously wrought into a belief of it : how it is likely to be now obstructed in the free exercise of our Spiritual Gifts , with these our cloven and divided Tongues . And since many worthy persons from whom we might little expect it , but far less deserve it , out of their Goodness and Clemency , are pleased to encline to some Liberty , did not some persons , Aliens and Strangers to the Common-wealth of Israel , take up a Reproach against us , as Persons reprobated into an unpossibility of submission to Principles of Concord , Peace , and Order , in Church or State , never being able hitherto to come to any consistency amongst our selves ; The Ark of God having , for twenty years together , been exposed to by-ways , Streets , and worse places , for want of an Agreement amongst our own Brethren where to rest it , or how to entertain it . If this be our Case , and could we be sure of so much favour as Saul once desired of Samuel , that the Bishops would but honour us before the People , We would in a private Christian way , lay our hands upon our hearts , and acknowledge the hand of God , and the Justice thereof , in turning us out of his Vineyard , as wicked and unprofitable Servants , and to suffer the iniquity of our heels to overtake us ; crying out with reverend Mr. Calamy , The Ark of God is justly departed from us ; but being not yet thus assured , do hope the people will yet believe these to be only Bears skins lap'd about us by Episcopal hands : And therefore to the end that a Consistency , and Oneness of Judgment of the whole separating Brethren , and their Moderation , may be known unto all men , and that the World may know , that there is a Spirit of Rule and Government resting in us ; IT is humbly proposed to the Sole Power of granting Licences and Indulgences for Liberty of Conscience , within the Kingdom of England , Dominion of Wales , and Town of Barwick , may be vested in the Persons under named for the Term of seven years , under the Farm Rent of an hundred Thousand Pounds per Annum , to Commence from the twenty fifth day of March next , under such Rates and Qualifications as are hereafter specified .

I A. B. do here solemnly protest , That I judge my self still bound by the Solemn League and Covenant , by the Engagement , by private Church-Covenant , or by any other Oath which I have taken ever since the Year 1641. And that so far as with Safety to my Person and Estate I may , I will endeavour the utter Ertirpation of Episcopacy , and to the utmost of my Power , will abett and promote all Schism , Faction , and Discord , both in Church and State , according to the best form and manner , prescribed and laid open in the Sermons of many of the Grand Commissioners and Farmers , before the Parliament , appointed to be Printed , and now called the Homilies of the separated Churches . And that I will never by what Conviction of Authority soever , whether Legal or Episcopal , ever consent to the Establish'd Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England . And I do likewise believe , That Liberty of Conscience was a mysterious , yet profitable Talent committed to the Churches , and that it may be lawfully Farmed out for Advantage and Improvement . That no person within the Kingdom of England , Dominion of Wales , or Town of Barwick , may , from , and after the twenty fifth day of March next , use or exercise any manner of Liberty of Conscience , except persons standing conformable to the Church of England ; untill such Person or Persons , shall first take the Solemn Protestation , and shall compound with the said Grand Commissioners and Farmers , for Liberty of Conscience , nor shall he be admitted or permitted to be a Speaker or Hearer , in any Meeting or Assemblies whatsoever . That the said Grand Commissioners and Farmers of Liberty of Conscience , may have Power to constitute , under the Publick Seal of the said Office , a convenient number of Spiritual Gagers , who may have and exercise all such Powers , Priviledges , and Authorities , as the Gagers for Excise of Beer and Ale , have , or ought to have and enjoy , and may , at any time , in case of Suspition enter into any house or place , publick or private , to Gage , and try the Spirits and Affections of any Person or Fersons ; and by Praying , Preaching , or other good Exhortation , dissuade from Episcopacy , and the Common Prayer , the better to fit and prepare them to compound for Liberty of Conscience . That the said Grand Commissioners and Farmers of Liberty of Conscience , may have power to fine any person or persons ( not exceeding the Sum of twenty pounds for every offence , who shall , after Composition for Liberty of Conscience , and subscribing the Solemn Protestation , be present in any Church or Chappel , within the Kingdom of England , Dominion of Wales , and Town of Barwick , in the time of any part of Divine Service , unless at the Funeral of his Father , or some other like occasion , he shall either respond , be uncovered , or carry himself reverently , in the Time of Divine Service aforesaid .

That the said Grand Commissioners , and Farmers of Liberty of Conscience , may have Power from time to time , to ordain Pastors , Elders , and Deacons , or any other Officers , under any Administration whatsoever , by the laying on of the Publick Seal of the Office : Which said Imposition of the said Publick Seal being received with a Certificate , shall be as Lawful an Ordination , as if every such Person had received Imposition from the Hands of the Presbytery ; any late Usage or Custom to the contrary notwithstanding . That the said Grand Commissioners and Farmers may have Power from time to time , to set apart days of Publick Fastings , and Humiliation , and Thanksgiving ; on which days it may be lawful for any Person or Persons appointed , to officiate before the said Grand Commissioners and Farmers , to stir up the People to a Holy Indignation against themselves , for having by their want of Zeal , and Brotherly Kindness one towards another , lost many Precious Enjoyments ; and above all , the never-to-be-forgotten Loss of the late Power and Dominion , which , with the Expence of so much Blood and Rapine , was put into the Hands of the Saints . And to take up for a Lamentation , and great thoughts of Heart , the Divisions of Reuben , that having our Sacks full , such an Evil Spirit should be found in the midst of us , as to fall out by the way ; might it have been with those that abode by the Stuff , as with those that went out to the Battel , it had not been with us as at this day . Some starting aside , like a broken Bow , in the Year 48. others continue to bear the Burden and Heat of the Day until 60 , being harness'd , did then turn their Backs in the day of Battel : As was most sweetly handled at the Fast kept Yesterday , at Mr. Beale's , by Mr. Calamy , Mr. Baxter , and others . That the Twentieth day of April next , commonly called Easter Monday , be kept as a day of Solem Fasting and Humiliation , for a Blessing upon these Gospel — Undertakings ; and that Mr. Edmond Calamy , Mr. Peter Sterry , Doctor Lazarus Seamon , and Mr. Feake , be desired to carry on the Work of the Day in Prayer and Preaching , before the said Grand Farmers ; and that the particulars following , be recommended to their Consideration in the Work of the Day . 1. To Bewail , 1. All our Court Sins . 2. Our Bishops Sins . 3. Our Monks Sins . 4. Our Common Prayer Sins . 2. To Divert ▪ 1. Westminster Hall Judgments . 2. Our Old-Baily Judgments . 3. Our Tower-Hill Judgments . 4. Our Charing-Cross Judgments . 5. Our Tyburn Judgments . Lastly , For Deliverance from the Hand of Dun , that uncircumcifed Philistine . That the said Grand Comissioners , and Farmers of Liberty of Conscience , may have Power to build Churches and Chappels in any place , or places , except upon such Ground where Churches or Chappels do already stand , in regard of the Inconvenience of setting up Altar against Altar : And forasmuch as the Custom of reading some part of the Holy Bible before Sermon , comonly called First and Second Lessons , hath been found fruitless , That therefore the said Grand Commissioners and Farmers , may have power to appoint instead thereof , the Annual reading of those Sermons preached by many of the said Grand Commissioners and Farmers , before the Parliament , upon special Occasions of Thanksgiving and Humiliation , from the Year 1641. to the Year 1648 , Which said Sermons , may be called the Homilies of the Separating Churches . That the said Grand Commissioners and Farmers may have Power to require Mr. Gilbert Millington , and Mr. Luke Robinson , the lame Evangelist , to deliver up all such Articles , Orders , Books , Papers , and other Writings , as were transacted before the late Committee for Plundered Ministers ; and likewise , all such as were passed and transacted before Mr. Philip Ney , and some others of the now Grand Commissioners and Farmers , and heretofore called Commissioners , or Spiritual Tryers , to the end the said Articles , Orders , Books , and other Papers , may be Printed and Published , and may be kept at the said Office upon Record for ever , and appointed to be the Book of Canons of the Seperated Churches . All this being done , we may upon Scripture Grounds expect , that the Door of Hope may yet be open to Us , and our Children after us , to see the Travel of our Souls , and to set us into the Promised Land , and to reap some of those Clusters of the Grapes of Canaan , which with so much Labor and Toyl of Body , and Mind were planted , especially in the Years of 1641 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45. by many of Us , and other Precious Saints and Ministers of the Gospel , who are since fallen asleep , and have , we hope , reaped the Fruits of those Labors , the Lord having in that day put a mighty Spirit into Us , and set us as Watchmen upon the Towers of Israel , to cry mightily Curse ye Meroz , curse ye bitterly . Grant that those Heart-breaking Labors of Ours , those King-destroying Labors , those Kingdom-ruining Labors , those Gospel-scandalizing Labors , those Church-subverting Labors , those Soul-confounding Labors of Ours may never be forgotten , but may be written as with the point of a Diamond , upon the Heart of the King , upon the Hearts of the Bishops , upon the Heart of the Parliament , and upon the Hearts of all the People from Dan to Beersheba , that so in God's good time , we may receive our Reward Seven-fold into our own Bosoms , and that the Generations to come , may hear and fear , and do no more so wickedly . So prays S. Butler . The Round-Heads Resolution . WHereas we are , through our great Ignorance and Obstinacy grown to a most Seditious and Malignant head , and the Horns of that Head ( though of a main length ) not able to support our Arrogant Faction , as appears by our last being soundly slash'd and bastinado'd , by a mad Crew called the Cavaliers ; and whereas a great part of Us have shut up our Shops , because we could no longer keep them open , which kind of shutting up , proceedeth commonly from our vast Expence in White-broths , Custards , and other Luxurious Dishes , provided for the Edification one of another . And whereas the Multitude , called True Protestants , endeavor to hold up Bishops , to maintain good Order , Discipline , and Orthodox Preaching in the Church ; Learning and Arts in the Universities , and Peace in the Common-wealth ; all which is nothing but Idolatry , Superstition , Profaneness , and plain Popery : And further , whereas we ( who are nothing properly but Round heads and Fanaticks ) are in most scandalous manner termed Holy Brethren , the Zealots of the Land , and which in sincerity we never were , or ever will be . And sorasmuch likewise as the prophane World of True Protestants , are a stiff-necked Generation , and will not yield unto Us the Preheminence of Doctrine and Religion , not withstanding the many Senceless two hours of those Spiritual Trumpets of Our Faction , the Sanctified Clergy-Lecturers , or of Our more Divine Lectures of our Supreme Shee-Lecturers , whose Bowels do even earne for the getting in of the Saints unto Us , and have , as it were even a zealous lusting after Us. And forasmuch as the Religion professed by Us ; in the purest and most decent , as appears by the great Love and Community betwixt the Brethren and the Sisters , the Conveniency of the Woods , Saw-pits , and Dark Places , the putting out Lights , and defying those Tapers of Iniquity , which cause us to behold our own Wicked Deeds , the gooly Bigness of the Ear , with the shortness of the Hair , which hindereth not the Sound of the Shepheards Voice , but easily heareth him call to a great Feast , amongst the Rich Saints , the length and sharpness of the Nose , which not only smelleth the sweet Savors of the Holy Plum-broth , but also promiseth an eager Appetite to some good Work towards the Younger Sisters , the roundness of the Band , the length of the Dublet , and the shortness of the Breeches , being a habit correspondent to the Pictures of the Apostles in the Geneva Print , the mightiness of our Faith , which is able to remove a Church into a Wood , the Transparency of our Charity , that is so invisible , that neither the right hand , nor the left ever knew it , the Multitude of our Good Works , which no man living can number , the Godly Works of our tautological Prayers , and the Zeal thereof , which brings us even to Divine Consumption ; whereby we look like the Prodigal Son at his return home , or the Priests in the Arras , the defying of all Fathers , Bishops , and Doctors , Conformable Persons , Canonical Robes , Ecclesiastical Gestures , and Utensils , all Learning , liberal Arts and Degrees , as the raggs of Superstition , the dregs of Popery are abominable in the goggle eyes of a right Round-head ; and yet this simple Innocent Profession is scorned and baffled , and by whom ? But by Scholars , and such as profess Learning , which is no more necessary to Religion , than a Publick Church ( which verily ) is but a Den of Thieves when we are absent . All which Grievances do stand with much reason , and therefore are utterly against our tender Consciences , and never were allowed by any Synod of More-fields or Westminster . That therefore which we do now resolve to maintain , and desire have confirmed , and never to alter'd ( till some new toy tickle us in the Pericranium , which will be very shortly ) is , 1. That our Religion , Tenants , and Mannors , before-mentioned , be established and maintained against all Reason , Learning , Divinity , Order , Discipline , Morality , Piety , or Humanity whatsoever . 2. That the very Name of Bishops , shall be a sufficient Jury and Judge , to condemn any of them , without any further Evidence or Circumstance . 3. That if any man whatsoever , having knowledge in the Latine Tongue ( being a Popish Language ) shall presume to think he can save a Soul by Preaching , he be excommunicated both in this World , and in the World to come ; unless it be some certain Lecturers , of whose approved Rayling and Ignorance , we are well assured , and have known to stand six hours : on a Fasting Day . 4. That the Felt-maker and the Cobler , two innocent Cuckolds may be instituted Primares and Metropolitans of the two Arch-Provinees , and the rest of the Sect preserved , according to their Imbecillities of Spirit , to such Bishopricks and other Livings , as will competently serve to procure fat Poultry , sor the filling of their insatiate Stomachs , in which regard , Church-Livings had more need to be increased , than diminished . 5. That no man whatsoever , who bears the name of Cavalier , may be capable of making any of the Brethren a Cuckold , unless he cut his Hair , and alter his Profession ; but be excluded from the Conventicles , as the King's Friend , and a Reprobate . 6. Lastiy , That there be two whole days set apart to Fast and Pray for the Confusion of all that are not thus resolved . A Caveat to the Round-Heads . I Come to charge yee That slight the Clergy , And pull the Miter from the Prelat's Head , That you will be wary , Least you miscarry In all these factious humors you have bred ; But as for Brownists we 'll have none , But take them all , and hang them one by one . Your wicked Actions , Joyn'd in Factions , Are all but aims to rob the King of his due . Then give this reason For your Treason , That you 'll be rul'd , if he 'll be rul'd by you ; Then leave these factions , zealous Brother , Least you be hanged one against another . Your Wit abounded , Gentle Round-head , When you abus'd the Bishops in a Ditty , When as you sanged , You must be hanged , A Timpinee of Malice made you witty , And though your hot zeal made you bold , When you are hang'd , your Arse will be a cold . Then leave confounding , And expounding The Doctrine that you preach in Tubbs , You raise this Warring , And private Jarring , I doubt , in tinte , will prove the Knave of Clubbs . It 's for your Lying , and not for your Oaths , You shall be hang'd , and Ketch shall have your Cloaths . FINIS .

Printed in the yeer 1647. A PARLIAMENT of LADIES , with their Laws newly Enacted . PApirius was the name of divers noble Romans : one whereof had to sir-name Praetextatus : the reason was , because in his youth he had the understanding of an Elder ; who being a child , and carried by his Father into the Senate , where they were to debate and determine of weighty Affaires concerning the State of Rome : his Mother at his coming home , asked the Boy what was the cause of their so often meeting , and what was concluded in the Senate that day ? which he apprehending , that he was not to reveale , remained silent ; but his Mother further importuning him , and threatning him , with the rod , that unlesse he would acquaint her with all their proceedings , she would whip him soundly : both to avoyd the prejudice that might happen , if he should have revealed the Secrets of the Senate , and to satisfie his Mother for the present , he told her , that they had made a Decree , and establisht it , that it should be lawfull for every man to have two Wives . Upon which , she presently without any more adoe , sent to the chief Matrons in Rome , that it would please them to vouchsafe to come to her house , and she would acquaint them with such a Project that her Husband and theirs had done in the Senate-house that day , and to their prejudice , as wanted president or example . At which Summons , many or most of them gave her a Visit , where she reveaied unto them the whole Businesse , as it was repeated by her young Sonne Papirius , and desired their assistance how to prevent it , and for that , to enter into present Consultation how they might abrogate that Law , and instead thereof , that every woman might have two Husbands : this was no sooner noysed in the City , but it was presently bruted in the Suburbs , and before they could propose any thing to be concluded , there was a great noyse of rapping at the Door ; they sending to know the cause thereof , answer was returned them , that there were a great many of Tradesmens wives , who understanding the causy of that meeting , desired to have their voyces in the Counsell ; alleaging withall , that though the Matrons were Noble , and they but Mechanicks and poore Tradesmens wives , yet no Parliament could be held , but there must be a Lower House , as well as a Higher , and Speakers for both : and further , that nothing could be concluded in the higher , but it must first be debated in the lower : Upon which reasons they were admitted , and a great Parlour serving for a Parliament House , every one took their places according to their degrees : and which was a wonder among Women , they suffered one to speak at once , which was the Mother of Papirius , who said as followeth . To you , as well of the Manufacture as of the Matronship , I speak to all in generall , I have knowne a Lord contented with one Lackey , a Master with one Man , a Tenant with one Landlord , a Bird with one Mate , a Cow with one Milk-maid , and shall a man desire to have two Wives , that ( alas ) with all he can doe , can hardly please one ? nay , grant them two , in time they will grow to ten , from ten to twenty , and then what a racket there would be , who should rule the Roast ? nay , I have heard of one that had once a thousand Wives and Concubines : Now out upon him for a Iew ( said a second ) and taking the tale out of her mouth , thus proceeded : Methinks they should have consulted , that women might have had two strings to their Bow , that if one slipt the other might hold ; one for week dayes to drudge within doors , another for holy dayes to walk abroad with her , and usher her in his best cloaths ; keeping one for delight , the other for her drudgery , to which motion , they with an unanious voyce consented . Then up starts a third , and said , our Sex is now of late growne Cowards , carpet and curtainehearted : Where be those magnanimous and Masculine spirited Matrons ? those valiant Viragoes ? those lusty Ladies : those daring Amazonian Damsels , Orithena , Penthisilaea , Thalestres , and the rest , who made Coxcombes of Keysars , Puppets of Princes , Captives of Captains , Fools of Philosophers , and Henchmen of their husbands ? but though we want weapons , and are abridged of their armes , yet they shall know , that we have the Law in our own hands , and in our own cases we will be our own Lawyers , and plead our own rights . For we have tongues to tell our owne Tales , and our Tales shall be heard and handled , when some of theirs shall not : What , give these Cocks leave to crow , and we shall have the Ravens follow after . These words were spoke with such an Emphasis , that there was a generall hum throughout all the Parliament parlour : then there was a motion made , that every one for the present should put in a particular of their own grievances : First , upstarts one Mis. Rattle , a Taylors wife , and said , I think the Proverb may be very well verified in my husband ; which is , that many Taylors go to the making up of one man ; for he hath no more mettle in him then a Mous , he works altogether with hot needle , and burnt thred ; for nothing he doth prospers with me . I thinke the reason is , because he uses an unlawfull Yard , and wants that handfull which belongs to the City measure , or else because he sits cros-legd on his shop-bord , like a dead Hare on a Poulterers stall , and no good work can be done that way . If at any time he make me a new Peticoat , he wil threaten to sit upon my skirts , and that 's all : He will sow and sow , and yet when he hath done all he can , it proves but so and so , and with that she put finger in the eye and wept . Nay , another Gossip seeing and pit●ying the poor puling creature , rose up , and said , I take it , your best course Mistris Rattle , is to acquaint your selfe with some Courtier his Customer , and when any Masque or show is to be presented at Court , he may help you to a good standing . Then another starts up and said , my name is Frank Fal-down , a Felt-makers wife , and know no more from my husband of the three parts that belong to a Noun-Substantive but the first , & that is felt , and nothing else worthy to be heard or understood . Sisly the Sadlers wife sat next . Nay , you may take me too in your number , for my case is as much to be condoled as any's who have a very pea-goose and Patch-pannel to my good man : well his girths or latchets may passe for currant , but I could never see a good stir-up from him since he was my husband : I confesse he is saddle-nos'd and saddlebackt too , but never could set the saddle on the right horse since I knew him ; to whom the Hors-coursers wife called Hairbrain , replyed , my good man in his customer , who keeps the saddle to himselfe , but gives me the bit and the bridle ; he can teach his horses to pace as he list , but for himselfe he hath neither good amble , trot , nor gallop . After them Grace the Goldsmiths wife , Sarah the Silkemans , Kate the Comfit-makers , Beatrice the Brasiers , Parnell the Apo●●●caries , Maudlin the Masons , Winifred the Wyre-drawers , Dorothy the Drapers , &c. every one laid downe their severall grievan●●● ; which as thay were attentively heard , so they were much to be commiserated ( I am loath to insist on too many , therefore for brevities sake let these suffice for the rest ) then consulation was had how to rectifie what was amisse , for the generall good of their Sects , how to rest the power in men from wronging their wives , that thenceforward they might live in the more ease , pride , pomp , and liberty ; for which they thought fit that good and wholsome Laws should be enacted . The fift was Mrs. Tattle-well that spak , who said , that it was not only fitting but necessary , that every woman should have two husbands ; for said she , was not every woman born with two legs , two hands , two eyes , two eares ; and every deep Well ought to have two Buckets , while one is coming up , the other going down : have not most great houses two doors ? likewise have not most Tavernes a fore-door and a back-doore , with two signs and two bushes , every ship a fore-Mast and a main-Mast ; most Cities two or three gates , and every gate three or foure Watch-men ; and every Beadle three or foure men every night in his Lanthorn , or else their mony ? hath not every stool or chair three or four legs , and every Bed stead two posts ( and three or four Curtains ) the better to support the other parts of them ; and therfore in conscience every Woman may have two husbands ; for have not we women six Sences , & men but five ? the major part we know includes the minor ; therefore the case is cleer on our sides ; for we have nothing to offend and defend our selves but our tongues , which we bring in for another sence ; for the tongue tels what the eare heares , what the eye sees , what the hand handles , what the palat fasteth , what the nose smeleth ; therfore the tongue ought to be the six Sence ▪ which we must maintain for our own safety ▪ though woman was taken out of the side of man , yet let , men know , that they cannot , nor shal not alwayes keep us under . I put the case to you , suppose a handsome Lasse marries a Seafaring man , perehance his occasions call him to goe a long voyage to Sea , as to the East or West Indies , or to the straights of Magellan , the reed or red-Sea , or to the Persian gulfe ; he is bound to stay a yeere , two or three , before he can returne ; doe you ( nay prethee good sister , let me not be interrupted in my speech : pray silence , or I will say no more ; for I now speak to the purpose ) as I have said doe you thinke it convenient such a pretty soule should lye alone , having been wedded so short a time , and onely tasted of you know what , and having been a fellowfeeler and helper in most cases , for the Commonwealths good , that she can be content to lye alone tumbling and tossing in a good featherbed , sometimes to the wall , sometimes to the doore , sometimes of one side , and sometimes of the other ; sighing and groaning , as if her very twatling-strings would breake ; making her moan to the curtains , fumbling and biting , or tearing the sheets , and by that meanes ease her oppressed body and minde ; nay , I should not say oppressed body , for there I was mistaken , there my tongu went too fast ▪ I should have said her troubled and perplexed spirit , heart , on what you terme it , ought not ▪ I say , such a woman to have two Husbands ? Yes , yes , said they , being alwayes provided , and for the good of the Common-wealth : So likewise the Souldier and Captain when they are gone to the Wars , the Merchant , the Factor and the Mariner when they are gone to Sea , a foolish Plaintiffe and his Defendant that will come up Post two or three hundred miles to spend his money , and stay a whole Tearm before he return to his beloved : ought not these ( and many more which I could name , which for brevities sake I omit ) to leave one Husband at home , while the other , being at Sea ; looks to the maine boling , and that the fore-mast , and main-yard , and all other tackling be fit and compleat for his occasions : The Factor while he looks to cast up his Accompts abroad , she may look and cast up here at home : The Plaintiffe and Defendant while they be spending money at Law , she may get some at home by Love . All these cases are to be considered ; for every Musket must have a Scouring-stick , and every Gun must have a Rammer , and every pen must be dipped in Ink before it will write : Has not every Constable his Beadle , every Serjeant his Yeoman ? hath not every Officer in a Ship his Mate ? as the Chirurgion he hath his Mate , the Master his Mate , and the Gunner his Mate : It is good to have two strings to ones Bow , if one break the other may hold : that if one be dogged and surly , the other may be pleasant and joviall ; that while one be off the hooks , the other may be on the hinges : Upon which motion it is fully agreed upon by us Women , who are here present , which find i● better for us women to have 2 husbands , that if one be sick , the other may be well , one abroad , another at home : and this was Mis Tabitha Tireman , and al giving out it may be a great means to abolish the old custom of making cuckolds : ere she could proceed , they all cried it up for eurrāt . But let me tel you one thing , wch might put a rub in our way : what if our husbāds object & say , that we promised to love & obey them at the time of our marriage , & that we must be tied to that promise ? By our Lady that 's true , said they , what must be our plea for that ? I 'le tel you , said Mis Tatle-well , let us answer thus much in that behalf ; that we had a mental reservation , whē the wisest of us said so ; for though our husbands expect it at our hands all our life-time , we must say , that we ment it only for that day & the first night , & no longer ; & therfore by this means we may wave the businesse , & repeal that Law : wherupon they al agreed to it by general consent , & a great cōmendation bestowed on Mis Tatle-well for finding out this mystery & evasion , wch was set down at first by these men by way of error and mistake . Then Mis Prudence Prate-al said , let it be likewise enacted , that since Maids for the most part marry in haste , and repent at leizure , that we may be hasty also in our own houses , that if our husbands be peevish , we may pout ; when they are harsh we may be humorous ; they curst we crabbed ; & when they think to make us melancholly , we in requital strive to make thē horn-mad ▪ by making our peticoats our purlewes : at wch if they grudge or grumble , we may find answers by looking on our apron-strings ; knowing by experiēce that most men are of a strange kidny , & will never be quiet full nor fasting ; this also past among the rest . The next that spake in court was a mad wench , called Besse Blue , or Blot-book a Scrivners wife , who also desired , that one thing might be rectified cōcerning her husbands trade , that in al Contracts , Covenants & Jointures made betwixt bachelors & maids , widows & widowers the often word Notwithstanding , may be razed out , & instead therof , Alwayes provided as oftē put in : the want of whch reformation , said she , I have endured to my prejudice : to this they generally consented & desired it might be prickt downe with an Imprimimis . In then comes Mi Elenor Ever-crosse with her five eggs , & said , she desired to have another added , wch should not be addl'd : my husbānd , said she , in anger said , he would thump me ; to wh●●● answered , thump me ? wher wilt thou thump me ? thump me but wher th●●● shouldst thump me , or I l'e make it the dearest thūping that ever thou d●●● thump in thy life : & I think I hink I hit him home , which was more th●● ever he did to me , & then I had him on the hip : & you should have kept him so when you had him there ( replied Mary Malepart ) if you had bin wise : But concerning your great thumpers , concerning him who said that a Law might be made , that no woman should suffer her selfe to be thumpt but as she ought to be ; to whom the whole Court willingly condiscended . Thus said Mistris Dorothy Doe-little , I hold it requisite also , that every woman of sense should take delight to please her eye with the most curious objects , either of such pictures as we like , or such men as we love : Her eare rather with curious and choyse Musick , or have some Courtship that may content her , or somewhat publisht in her praise : Her smell rather with sweet and redolent flowers at home , or precious odours and perfumes fetcht from abroad : Her touch either with the Pluch and Taffates of her owne gay garments , or by the griping of his smooth and soft hand whom she most dearly affected : Her taste with all daintie and dear fare , with either Fowl or Fish , with sweet Wines and sweet Meats , Banqueting and Junkets , and every varietie that can taste the appetite , or please the palate . And for our more ease , let us lie a bed till ten of the clock , and then have a Caudle brought to our bed side , for our break-fast ; and be ready by Dinner-time , & then walk abroad to take the ayre till Supper-time ; and so spend the week about and if they aske the reason thereof , tell them it must be so , because it must be so ; and let them understand , that Monday is Sundayes brother , and that Tuesday is such another ; Wednesday they must go to Church & pray and Thursday is halfe holy-day ; Friday it is too late to begin to spin , and Saturday all the world knowes is halfe holy-day agen . You speak well in that , said Mistris Bridget Bold face : for why should we toyle and turmoyle for our horn-headed and hard headed husbands , & not taste of the sweet as well as of the sowre , of the gaine as the paine , the pleasure as the puzzle . If the Husbands be ours , then be their goods ours , their Lands ours , their Cash and Coyne ours , and all their moveables , ( howsoever seldome in motion ours too ) and at our command ; then why should we be niggards , and not spend freely of our owne ? or why , when they be prodigall abroad , should we be penurious at home ? nay , let us eat good fare , keepe good fires , want nothing that Women should have , good cat●s after good company : we can then bid any God ▪ speed without good gossips . It is fit wee should be merry , so it fall within compasse of meanes : and for my owne part , I make use of the old proverb ; Every good huswife , as soone as she 's up ▪ Hath her hand in the Cup ▪ board ▪ her nose in the Cup . Which also was agreed upon with such an unanimous consent , that this Law above the rest should be writ in great Letters , to distinguish them from the rest , as best corresponding with most of their conditions . Further let it be enacted , said Anne Ever-Crosse , that whosoever shal hereafter take a Wife , shall doe it with the intent to please her , serve her , and obey her : and the first day of their Bridals , as a signe and token of dutie to her , and all the rest , place her at the upper end of the Table ; or if she like not that place , put her in the middle , and with his hat in his hand wait on her till she hath halfe , or at the most three quarters dined ; and then ( if he have leave ) to sit downe , which must be done by her licence ▪ that he place himselfe at the lower end of the Table , and make a short meale till they be ready to take away ; and that at Supper he doe the like : and after that she goe to Bed first ▪ and rise last ; and not attempt any thing , but that stands with her good libertie and liking : and this past amongst the rest for currant . Then rose up one Mistris ▪ Rachel Rattlebooby , and said , I intreat that I may have a finger in the pye too as well as the rest ; a fooles bolt ( like my husbands ) is soone shot , and so is mine : When I was as well in health as any here , I complained to my good man of my Heart and Head , my Liver and my Lungs ; and ●indeed ) I know not of what : who comming home , said , Wife how doe you doe ? I answered , Sick , good man , very sick : then the fond Coxcomb bid me speak for any thing I had a mind unto ; for , saith he , no question ▪ but thou dost breed : I , I , said I , I do breed , but you never get me any thing : no ▪ saith he , who gets it then ? I told him againe , that it was no matter to him who gets it ; for sure , said I , I may long & long , but shal be sure to come short of what I long for : why , what dost thou long for , said my husband ? For that ( quoth I ) which is beyond your reach , ywis : Silk Gowne and Sattin Petticoat of the fashion , an Italian cut-work Handkerchief , & a black Bag , with all the appurtenances thereto belonging . I but , said he , sweet Wife , these are above my Calling : Why then , said I , mine own Calling shall serve , for the next gallant Player I will call in , who , what he cannot adde to the happinesse of your memory , shall strive to augment in your honourable state of Matrimonie : And this she desired to be registred amongst the rest ; at which , some were unwilling that it should passe , yet the major part were so fully bent , that it was set downe by the she-Scrivener in Paper , and after in Parchment , to be endorsed . Mistris Tabitha Teare ▪ sheet then stood up , and began to puffe & snuffe , and said , she wondred why men should take so much upon them , when one woman is able , upon her owne knowledge , to bring ten of them , and take them one after another , upon their knees : therefore , said she , adde this to the other ; let women from hence-forward , if they be sh●eerish or shie , trie it out with them at sharpe ; or if beetle-headed and blockish , with blunter weapons . But Mistris Dorcas Doe-little was out at that , saying , she loved her ease and quiet , and said , that the safest way ( as she thought ) was to sleepe in a whole skin ; yet , saith she , my husband is a Gamester , and as he games abroad , so I play at home : if he be at bowles , & kisse the Mistris , I can for recreation play at Rubbers with his man : when he hath bin all the day at Passage , & Hazard , at night he comes home and playes with me at Doublets , Barrames-ace , and Back-gammon : but I am sometimes even with him ; for when he with his sweet-hearts ventures his state at the hole , with his servant can passe away the time at In and In. After spake Mistris Rachel Rattle-a-pace , and said , as I hold Mistris Dorcas , that lawfull which you doe , so I hope , that I bringing my sack to the Mill , it may be ground among the rest ; that is , when our Husbands trouble us , we may likewise torment them : if they fret , we frowne ; they grudge , we grumble ; they prate , we glout ; they crosse , we curst ; if they bend their browes , we may bend our fists ; and be they never so outragious , we to carry no coales in any case . But let it then be added ( saith she that sate next ) that no reconcilement without some reward , & no pardon may be granted without a new Gowne and Peticoat , which if demur'd upon , at the first or second demand , it shall be in her choise to aske him the third : and if he cog & ofter to kisse you , and tell you that he will kisse you , bid him take you about the middle and kisse the heaviest end : or if he faile , she may reade him a Juniper Lecture , as far as the scope of her invention , or the scarcitie of breath will give her leave . Or if he , notwithstanding all this , be peevish and perverse ▪ she may also continue proud & peremptorie , till she raise him into reconcilement ▪ and make him provide a Feast to entertaine her Gossips , and make his peace that way . And then said another , taking the tale out of her mouth ; if she have a mind to take the aire , or walk to Green ▪ goose Faire , or to any merry meeting , or Market ; if she desire his company , that he new black his shooes , and put on his best Hat & Cloake to wait on her thither , ushering her before , or take her gently by the arme , and lovingly to leade her : or if ( for some reasons best knowne to her selfe ) she would have his absence , that be patiently put money in her purse , and stay at home without grumbling . All this while good Orders and Decrees with a generall silence was observed , which after grew to a meere confusion : for the rest having much matter to utter , some got up to the tongues end ▪ & had not the patience to stay the time , and take their turns : but all of these who had not yet spoke , tumultuously breaking out into clamour , every one desiring to be heard first , and the more they were heard , the lesse they were understood : one cryed out , let not Maids stay from Marriage till they are troubled with the green-sicknesse : another said , that if their Husbands revelled in the Hall , they might rule in the Kitchin ; and if they offered to domineer , they might spoile their meat in dressing ; a third , that if their husbands came home drunke , they might lock them out of doores , and whilst shee took her rest in her Cabbin , leave him to take up his lodging in the kennell : a fourth , that if they prated to be heard , they might poure a pisse-pot on their heads ▪ and if after complaint were made , they might answer , they meant neither murther nor manslaughter , but what they did , was se ▪ defendendo : with many others , to as ▪ little or no purpose ▪ by reason of which acclamation and noyse , the Session was for that time to be dissolved ; but after an O yes , silence being made , it was concluded amongst them , that with those Articles agreed upon , they should presently passe from thence to the State-house , and deliver up their grievances to them . But one thing we have forgot , said they , which is a main matter , that is , to seek out cure for any old or yong Cuckolds : then spake Mistris Dorothy Do-little , and said : my good man came home drunk the other day , and because I should not see him in that manner , he hid himselfe in the house of speciall Office , and there he began to ease his stomack , and lay about him like a Hog , when he hath eaten so much that he is ready to burst : and because I should not heare him ; he thrusts his head into the hole , and whether it was his large Asses eares , or his Bul neck , I cannot tell , but he looked as if he had bin on the Pillery . Upon which relation they all fell into a great laughter , and withall concluded that it was his Hornes . For Acteon , said they , put his head out of the window well enough , but could not get it back again , which was long of his Hornes : this , said they , is your husbands case . I pray you Mistris Tattle-well , said she , tell me , and the rest of our sisters the cure and remedy for it . Thus you must do ( said she ) my deare and loving sisters , because the effect lies at the heart , and the cause in the head , you must first remove the cause , and the effect will follow . First , you must carry down the griefe by his Posteriors , which must be done by a medicine that will both purge and comfort him at one and the same time ; for desperate diseases must have desperate cures : get I say , ( I speak to you all , as well as to you Mistris Doe-little ) a gallon of the best Pump-water , such as will beare the Patentees Crown-soap , that will scoure well , then set it on the fire in a brasse Skellet , and put therein a good large bed-post , and let it boyle till it be dissolved to a jelly , then take it off the fire , and put three or foure sorts of spices in , as Cloves , Mace , Nut-megs : then take two or three ounces of Suger-candy , two ounces of the Sirrup of hearts-ease and dainty Content , with an ounce of Candid Forgetfulnesse , and Better Conceit , all this is cordiall : then when it is coole , put in a little Rubard , a little Coloquintida , a little Stibium , and some grosse and Long white Pepper , then let it boyle softly , and when so done , the next morning let the patient man drink it next his heart , and keep him warm : but you must be carefull that it be given him when the Moone is neere the full ; not when she is forked or horned , lest you lose your labour and cost : for the Moone loves horned people , which are sometimes like her selfe : but when shee is neere the full , she is then indifferent , whether horned or not horned , all is one to her , and therefore may then best be performed . Now the inward remedy being applyed , hee must then observe the outward meanes : he must conceit himselfe a Batchelour or Widdower again , as he was at the first state when he came a wooing to her : then must he make himselfe a mourning suit and cloak , and walk as demurely and as sad , as if his wife were dead indeed : he must likewise be so well conceited of himselfe , as if no such thing had ever been or thought of ▪ then he must refraine her company ; and the house where she is , eight or ten dayes together , then begin to inquire of her , as if she were a stranger to him , afterwards visit her , and then send her presents , and make much of her , then make good cheere , and when you are in a merry veine , ask her if she can love you ? then will she say presently , yes , if you can affect her : then get a licence , and forthwith marry her : that being done , see then if any dare so much as point at you with their fingers , or call you Cuckold as formerly they did , if they doe , then have you the civil Law on your side to punish them there , and an action at the Common Law for defamation , and their punish their purses and body too ; and this is the onely cure for old and new Cuckolds : and withall take notice , that this must be done when the Moon is increasing , and in the second quarter , for it will help their businesse forward , and cause them better to conclude their intended purposes : and this being done , it was approved for a certaine and approved remedy ; and so they both joyning their hands and their hearts , as no doubt they had done before , he promising that she should ( seeing so great a cure had been wrought upon him , with the regaining of his crdit and honesty ) once againe bee received into his love and favour ; and she on the other side promising him to be obedient to all his demands , and never again to pollute the Marriage-bed : striving to vilifie the old Proverb , Once a whore , and ever a whore . And now ( with no common pace ) trudge these Parliamenters towards the Senate-house to have their grievances there knowne ; who rapping at the doore where the Conscript Fathers were then in Councell : the mother of Papyrius was presently admitted , to deliver unto them the mindes of the rest , which were fairely written ; which when they had read and understood , they were greatly amazed ; but after more narrowly sifting how all this businesse came about , some laught , some lowred , some it served for pleasure , to others for perplexity ; but in conclusion , they greatly condemned their wives levity and inconstancie , but indulgently commended the Lads silence and taciturnity . The chiefe Heads of the Ladies Lawes . FIrst , that instead of allowing men two wives , women , especially the stronger and greater vessell , should have two or three husbands . That women might vex , perplex , and any way torment their husbands . That women may twang it as well as their husbands . That women may feast , banquet and gossip , when & where they please . Likewise it is thought fit and convenient by us ▪ that all rich and stale Batchelors doe forthwith marry poore Widdowes that have no meanes to live on , and so become Fathers the first day . Item , That it is thought 〈◊〉 , that rich widdowes shall marry Gentlemens youngest sons that have no means to maintaine themselves . Item , It is concluded and fully agreed upon , that all women shall have their husbands Tenants at wil● ; and that ▪ they shall doe them Knights service , and have their homage paid before every Sun-rising , or at every weekes end , or at utmost betweene the quarters , not a day longer to be defer'd , unlesse it be in the Dogs dayes . Item , Let our husbands remember , though it be a tricke of them to forsake our beds in the Dogs dayes , yet let them take notice their is no dogs nights , and that it was at the first but a tricke of their owne invention to save their labour and money too : which act wee disallow of for ever . Item , That no Yeoman or Husbandmen shall keep , or suffer to bee kept in their house , Barne , or Stable , any Cocke or Cockes ▪ that will not tread his Hens : especially , when the Hens thrust their heads under the Cockes necke , &c. Item , That that man which promises a pretty Maid a good turn ▪ and doth not perform it in 3. months , shall lose his what do you call them . Item , That if any Iesuite returne into our Land againe , being once banished , that he shall be gelt or libb'd , to avoid jealousies of our husbands . FINIS .

PUNCTILIO'S OR CAPRICHIO'S OF STATE Among the present GRANDE●S . Sed magis ingenue Peribonius , hunc ego fatis Imputo — By Count GUNDOMAR . Printed at Madrid in the Year , 1659. XXIII . PVNCTILIO'S OR CAPRICHIO'S OF STATE . I. WHether the Court of Honour was not timely and prudentially supprest in the beginning of this brouillery , since the Authors of our confusion had none themselves nor intended to leave any in ; or to the Nation . II. Whether we or the Kingdom of Portugal , shall have the Honour of Precedency in returning to our ancient and Pristine allegiance ; if not , whether the same Armes that are like to reduce the latter , may not reduce us . III. Whether the English Plenipotentiaries in the Sound , to accord the two Northern Kings , were not more usefull at home to compose the difference betwixt the Parliament and Army , having been so well exercised and experienced in uneffectual and unfeasible Treaties . IV. Whether Mounsieur Downham may not be any ones Broker or Factor in Holland , since his Principals here are bankroupt ; whether he have not leisure enough to enquire after the Crown Jewels , as his Master Oliver instructed him . V. Whether the Welch , or No Ambassadour , were Sir William , or my Lord Lockhart , or my Lord Cardinals Fool at the late enterview of the Favovrites , whether he did Bezos los manos or la cueva of Don Lewis de Haro ; and whether his Credentials were not writ in Scotch . VI . Whether to be master of the Sword and Militia , be not more advantagious then to be master of the Wardes and Liveries , and yet if he be not Lamberts Pupil : and whether Charles Fleetwood , be any kin to miles Fleetwood . VII . Whether it were not a main errour in Oliver in satisfying himself with the bare diminution and eclipse of my Lord Lambert ; whether like Ixion he may not be begot of a cloud ; whether like him he may not turn the wheel and change this abyss of confusion into an Elysium . VIII . Whether John Desborow's high Shoon , or his Lordships Collosha's are best to wade through thick and thin ; whether he knows any difference betwixt a Barn and the Parliament House , since ther 's threshing and winnowing in both ; whether Lambert plow not with him . IX . Whether Lieutenant Col. Duckenfield ought not to be Master of the Ceremonies , since he could parler so Court-like with the Speaker , and brought him so A la mode to his Audience at Wallingford House . X. Whether my Lord Whitlocks extraordinary Embassy to Sweden , his Intrigues there , his puny Treasurer-ship , his Juniority to Lisle for the custody of the Seal , his new League with the Army will be any Riddle to knotty SQUIRE Dun. XI . Whether Alderman Tichburn's impertinent Headpiece , make him not as troublesome a Senator to the Souldiery as he is a President to the new Artillery men . XII . Whether Crispin was not a type of my Lord H●wson ; whether he has not married a Quean : if he ought not at last to be President of the new thing that hath so much cobling work to doe . XIII . Whether Mr. Brandriffe be better at the Drawing or Council board ; whether he or his goose will best forward the Settlement ; whether he be not fitter to be Porter at White-hall gate being measured out for such a Fellow . XIV . Whether Ireton in a Ruffe would not looke like Queen Besse , and wonderfully grace the new Senate and strike ●n awful reverence and dread into the boyes and girls of the Town . XV . Whether the Army found it not easier to cajole Lieutenant General Ludlow into their junto , then they will finde it to cokes Overton out of Hull , it being Rebellions and the Parliaments Metropolis : XVI . Whether Sir Orlando Hes●lrigge might not be one of this pack , if he would allow this 23 to be halfe so villanous as his 5. XVII . Whether the Armies light touch of the Murder of the KING in their late Plea , be not a point mainly and chiefly to be insisted on . XVIII . Whether the solemn League and Covenant , the Parliaments engagement against KING , &c. Olivers instrument , the new subscription of the army were licensed by Matchiavil , and which of them is most especially and eminently obligatory in point of conscience . XIX . Whether the Army thought not to Monkifie General Monk by prescribing him such a toye as their Addresse for his imitation ; whether they be not mistaken , and the Divel a Monk is he ; and if he must be one , whether he had not better by his loyalty enter himself in the order of Benedict . XX Whether Lawrence and Sydenham were not taken in for Tutors to the new F●…y , that the affaires of this new nothing might be managed orderly and to little purpose . XXI . Whether Sir Henry Vanes wisdome should not have been the first Pageant in my Lord Maiors Shew , whether Mischief , Mony , or Vain-glory is most pleasing to him , whether he sutes with Balzae's Character , that there are a sort of men born to trouble and disquiet the world , whether his Devilship be not convinced of his detestable contrivements ; and if the Committee of safety may not aptly be surnamed Vane , and if London Bridge lack not a Vane . XXII . Whether the rest of the pack , can be marshalled by any Herauldry but Ralph Briscoes Bookes ; whether their Politique Education has not been an insuportable charge to the Commonwealth whilest it eased particular parishes ; whether they can give any other account of themselves then Tom Pride ; if they can , that they inform the Printer who will give them their due honour . XXIII . Whether this Punctilio-maker would scruple I think it below him to be Halter-maker of the Senate if he could not shew them a better Turn of State then any yet ; if such a course would not be the onely way to safety : and finally if the 23 Commissioners , shall not have in due time 24 Godfathers .

Reproduction of original in Huntington Library. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

All Popish Believers think somethings Divine , When Images speak , possesseth the Shrine : But they that Faith Catholick ne'er understood , When Shrines give Answer , a Knaves on the Rood . Those Idols ne'er spoke , but are Miracles done By the Devil , a Priest , a Friar and Nun. If the Roman Church , good Christians , oblige ye To believe Man and Beast have spoke in Effigie . Why should we not credit the publick Discourses Of a Dialogue , lately between the two Horses The Horses I mean of Wool-Church and Charing , Who told many Truths worth a Man's Hearing , Since V — and O — did buy , and provide 'em For the two Mighty Monarchs that now do bestride ' em . The stately br●ss Stallion , and white marble Steed One Night came together by all is agreed : When both King 's weary of Sitting all Day , Were stollen off Incognito each his own way . And the two Jades after mutual Salute , Not only discours'd , but fell to Dispute . The Dialogue . Woolch. Quoth the Marble Horse , it would make a Stone speak To see a Lord Mayor and a Lumbard-street break : Thy Founder and mine to treat one another , When both K — s agreed to be each others Brother . Chair . Here Charing broke forth , and then he went on , My Brass is provoked as much as thy Stone● To see Church and State bow down to a Whore , And the K — 's chief Minister holding th' Door . Woolch. To see Dei Gratia writ on the Throne , And the K — 's wicked Life say , God there is none . Chair . That he should be stil'd Defender of the Faith , Who believes not a Word what the Word of God saith . Woolch. That the D — should turn Papist , and that Church defie , For which his own Father a Martyr did die . Chair . Tho' he changed his Religion , I hope he 's so civi● Not to think his own Father is gone to the Devil . To see a white Staff make a Beggar a Lord , And scarce a wise Man at a long Council-board . Woolch. That the Bank should be seized , yet the Chequer so poor , Lord have Mercy , and a Cross might be set on the Door . Chair . That a Million and half should be the Revenue , Yet the K — of his Debts pay no man a penny . Woolch. That a K — should consume three Kingdom 's Estates , And yet all the Court be as poor as Church Rats . Chair . That of four Seas Dominion and Guarding , No token should appear but a poor Copper Farthing . Woolch. Our Worm-eaten Ships be laid up at Chatham , ( Not ou● Trade to secure , but ) for Fools to comeat'um . Chair . And our few Ships abroad become Tripoli's scorn , By pawning for Victuals their Guns at Leghorn . Woolch. That making us Slaves by Horse and Foot Guard , Chair . The basest ingratitude ever was heard ; But Tyrants ungrateful are always affraid . Woolch. On Henry the Seventh's head , he that plac'd the Crown , Was after rewarded by losing his own . Chair . That Parliament-Men should rail at the Court , And get a good Preferment immediately for 't . Woolch. To the bold speaking Members of Bastards you add , What a number of Rascally-Lords have been made . Chair . That Traitors to their Country in a brib'd House of C. Should give away Millions at every Summons . Woolch. Yet some of those Givers , such beggarly Villains , As not to be trusted for twice fifty Shillings . Chair . No wonder that Beggars should still be ●or giving , Who out of what 's given , do get a good living● Woolch. Four Knights and a Knave , who were Publicans made , For selling their Consciences were liberally paid . Chair . Then base are the Souls of the low priz'd Sinners , Who Vote with the Court for Drink and for Dinners . Woolch. 'T is they that brought on us this scandalous Yoke , Of excising our Cups and Taxing our smoak . Chair . But Thanks to the Whores who made the K — dogged , For giving no more the R — are Prorogued . Woolch. That a K — should endeavour to make a War cease , Which augments and secures his own profit and peace . Chair . And Ple●potentiaries send into Fra●ce , With an addle-headed Knight , and a Lord without Brains . Woolch. That the King should send for another F — Whore , When one already had made him so poor . Chair . Enough dear Brother although we speak Reason ; Yet Truth many times being punish'd ●or Treason , We ought to be wary , and bridle our Tongues , Bold speaking hath done both Men and Beasts wrongs : When the Ass so boldly rebuked the Prophet , Thou knowest what danger was like to come of it , Though the Beast gave his Master ne'er an ill Word , Instead of a Cudgel Balaam wish'd for a Sword. Woolch. Truth 's as bold as a Lion , I am not affraid , I 'll prove every title of what I have said : Our Riders are absent who is 't that can hear ; Let 's be true to our selves , who then need we fear ? Chair . Where is thy K — gone , ( Woolchurch ) to see Bishop Laud ? To Cuckold a Scrivener in Masquerade ? On such Occasions he oft s●rays away , And returns to remount about break of Day . In very dark Nights sometimes you may find him With a Harlot got upon my Crupper behind him . Chair . Paule ●rother a while , and calmly consider What thou has● to say against my Royal Rider . Woolch. The Priest-ridden K — turn'd desperate fighter For the Surpli●e , Lawn-sleeves , the Cross and the Miter , Till at last on a Scaffold he was left in the lurch By Knaves , that cry'd up themselves for the Church . Chair . Arch-Bishops and Bishops , Arch-Deacons and Deans ; Thy K — will ne'er fight unless 't be for Queans . Woolch. He that dies for Ceremonies dies like a Fool. Chair . The K — on thy Back is a lamentable Tool . Woolch. The Goat and the Lyon , I equally Hate , And Freeman alike value Life and State : Though the Father and Son be different rods , Between the two Scourgers we find little odds ; Both Infamous in three Kingdoms Votes , This for picking our Pockets , that for cutting our Throats : More tolerable are the Lyon K — s Slaughters Than the Goat making Whores of our Wives and Daughters : The Debauched and Cruel since they equally gall us , I had rather bear Nero than Sardanapalus . Woolch. De Wit and Cromwel had each a brave Soul , I freely declare it , I am for Old Nol , Though his Government did a Tyrant resemble , He made England great and his Enemies tremble . Chair . Thy Rider puts no Man to Death in his Wrath , But is buryed alive in Lust and in Sloth . Woolch. What is thy Opinion of I — D — of Y — Chair . The s●me that the Frogs had of I●piter's Stonk . With the Turk on his Head , and the Pope in his Heart , F●ther Patrick's Disciples will make England smart . If e'er he be K — I know Britain's Doom , We must all to a Stake , or be Converts to Rome . Ah! Tudor , ah ! Tudor , we have had enough : None ever reign'd like old Bess in the ●uff . Her W●lsingham could dark Counsels unriddle , And our Sir I — ph write News-books and fiddle . Woolch. Truth , Brother , well said , but that 's somewhat bitter , Hi● pe●●umed Predecessor was never more fitter : Yet we have one Secretary honest and wise ; For that very Reason , he 's never to rise . But can'st thou devise when things will be mended ? Chair . When the bad of the Line of the St — are ended . Conclusion . If Speeches from Animals in Rome's first Age , Prodigious Events did s●rely presage That should come to pass , all Men may swear That which two Inanimate Horses declare . But I should have told you before the Jades parted , Both gallop'd to VVhite-hall , and there humbly farted : Which Tyranny's down●al portended much mo●e Than all that the Beasts had spoken before . If the Delphick Sybil's Oracular Speeches ( as learned Men say ) came out of their Breeches , Why might not our Horses , since Words are but Wind , Have the Spirit of Prophecy likewise behind ? Though Tyrants make Laws , which they strictly proclaim To conceal their own Faults , and cover their own Shame ; Yet the Beasts in the Field , and the S●ones in the Wall , Will publish their Faults and prophesy their Fall ; When they take from the People the Freedom of Words , They teach them the sooner to fall to their Swords . Let the City drink Coffee , and quietly groan , ( They that conquer'd the Fat●●r won't ●e Slaves to the Son ) For Wine and strong Drink make Tumults encrease , Chocolate , Tea , and Coffee are Liquors of Peace , No Quarrel or Oaths amongst those that drink them , 'T is Bacchus , and the Brewer swear dam me and sink ' em . Then C — s thy Edict against Coffee recal , There 's ten times more Treason in Brandy and Ale. On the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen , presenting the l — K — and D — of Y — each with a Copy of their Freedoms , Anno Dom. 1674. I. THe Londoners Gent to the K — do present In a Box the City Maggo● ; 'T is a thing full of weight , that requires the Might Of whole Guild-Hall Team to drag it . II. Whilst their Church's unbuilt , and their Houses undwelt , And their Orphans want Bread to feed 'em ; Themselves they 've bereft of the little Wit they had left , To make an Offering of their Freedom . III. O ye Addle-brain'd Cits ! who henceforth in their Wits Would intrust their Youth to your breeding ; When in Diamonds and Gold you have him thus enroll'd , You know both his Friends and his Breeding ? IV. Beyond Sea he began , where such a Riot he ran , That every one there did leave him ; And now he 'll come o'er ten times worse than b●fore , When none but such Fools would receive him . V. He ne'er knew , not he , how to serve or be free , Though he has past through so many Adventures ; But e'er since he was bound , ( that is , he was crown'd ) He has every Day broke his Indentures . VI. He spends all his Days in running to Plays , When he should in the Shop be poring : And he wasts all his Nights in his constant Delights , Of Revelling , Drinking and Whoring . VII . Tho' out of Lumbard-street each Man he did meet , He would run on the Score and borrow , When they 'd ask'd for their own , he was broke and gone , And his Creditors left to Sorrow . VIII . Though oft bound to the Peace , yet he never would cease To vex his poor Neighbour with Quarrels , And when he was beat , he still made his Retreat , To his Cleavelands , his Nels , and his Carwels . IX . Nay , his Company lewd were twice grown so rude , That had not Fear taught him Sobriety , And the House been well barr'd with Guard upon Guard , They'd robb'd us of all our Propriety . X. Such a Plot was laid , had not Ashley betray'd , As had cancell'd all former Disasters ; And your Wives had been Strumpets to his Highnesses Trumpets , And Foot-Boys had all been your Masters . XI . So many are the Debts and the Bastards he gets , Which must all be defray'd by London , That notwithstanding the Care of Sir Th — Pl — r , The Chamber must needs be undone . XII . His Word nor his Oath cannot bind him to Troth , And he values not Credit or History ; And though he has served through two ' Prentiships now , He knows not his Trade nor his Mystery . XIII . Then London rejoice in thy fortunate Choice , To have made him free of thy Spices ; And do not mistrust he may once grow more just , When he 's worn of his Follies and Vices . XIV . And what little thing is that which you bring To the D — e , the Kingdom 's Darling ; Ye hug it and draw like Ants at a Straw , Tho' too small for the Gristle of Starling . XV. Is it a Box of Pills to cure the D — 's Ills ? ( He is too far gone to begin it ) Or that your fine Show in Processioning go , With the Piss — the Host within it . XVI . And who could swear , that he would forbear To cull out the good of an Alien , Who still doth advance the Government of France , With a Wife and Religion Italian . XVII . And now , Worshipful Sir , go fold up your Furrs , And Vyner turn again , turn again ; I see who e'er freed you , for Slaves are decreed Until you burn again , burn again . On the Prorogation of the Eighteen-years Parliament : Or , Club of unanimous Voters . PRorogued on Prorogation , Damn'd Rogues and Whores , Who pick●d our Pockets , are now turn'd out of Doors● Have we our Country plagu'd , our Trust betray'd , Given Loans , Polls , Subsidies , and Royal Aid , Hearth-money , Impost , and the Lawyers Fees , Ruin'd all Trade , tormented all Degrees , To b● thus serv'd at la●●●s Have we more Money rais'd in twelve years space , Than Norman Bastard had , and all his Race ; Hurried up Money Bills against Dutch and French , And seen it spent upon a Dunghil Wench ! Were we content the Kingdom to undo ; To enrich an over-ridden Whore or two , And all for this ! With Plague , War , and Fire was the Kingdom curst ; Yet of all Plagues were we our selves the worst , All just Elections null'd , and took such Pain To make this Parliament a Rogue in Grain , Heal'd Co — y's ●lit Nose , and through our Fears , Stood to be piss'd on by the House of Peers . Run to our Masters Cellar to Fox our Mace , And hundred more humble Acts like these , That we might not his Majesty displease , To be thus serv'd ! Well fare , true , V — n , H — d , O — n , C — rr , L — n , S — r , and our great Man of War , Wil. G — y , the Hector of our House , That always fetch'd his Blow to kill a Louse ; For these great Patriots , Malecontent , did plot Their Country's Good , till they had Places got , Bluster'd and huff'd till they were officer'd , But then of Country more the Devil a Word : They need not hector more 'gainst Hogen Mogen , And feel like Asses the Plague of a Prorogueing . Damned B — of a false Sire the Son , Did we for this dismount old C — n , And set thee up the mighty Man of State , And in thy Hands put the whole Kingdom 's Fate ? Did we forget thou truck'd'st with what was Trump , And paid'st Allegiance to the rotten Rump . Did we continue spilling S — y's Life , That with more Freedom thou might'st Whore his Wi●e , And all for this requite ungrateful Wretch , May Pox and Plague and Devil hence thee fetch . Let some prorogu'd , incensed Felton rather Send't his curs'd Son to find his guilty Father . No other way could'st find t' attain thy Ends , Than by disgusting's Majesty with 's best Friends ; Turn off a Parliament , ne'er King before Had such a one , or ever will have more ? Did we give Cause to Fear we would not do , What ever K — or thou command'st us to ? If standing Army 't was thou would'st be at , ( As well as others ) we could have rais'd that ; League Tripartite we could have broke , and dance Framed to the Measures and the Pipes of France . We could have yielded to have rais'd a Cittadel , More our own City , than the Dutch to quell , Look through our Fingers , and sneer to behold New London flaming as we did the Old. We could Plots make like Oliver or Hewit , And make them guilty of 't that ne'er knew it . And must we after all our Service done , In Field for Father , and in House for Son , Be thus cashier'd to please a pocky Peer , That neither Round-head is , nor a Cavalier , But of some middle Cut , some ill Shape , that Fain would be something if he knew but what ; And like light Butterfly much fluttering make , Sleep of one Judgment and another wake . He all things is , but unto nothing's true ; All old things hates , yet can abide no new . Had we but hearken'd and the fore game play'd , We had prevented our being thus betray'd . But please your pocky Grace to give me leave , To ask you why you did your Prince deceive . Our first Prorogue might sure have stood till then , 'T was time enough to have been prorogu'd then ; And not all in a Hurry seven Months before , The former was expired to add six more . Is Fob so full ? Nell's in again ! though , we are out ; Methinks we might have met to give a Clout . Well , now the sacred Cod-piece must keep Lent , If Saints lend not , or Cash from France be sent . Ah sweet Revenge ! Let us but live to see , Such Rogues prorogued to be as well as we● Indulge our Envy but to see that Day , Though we be ruin'd by 't as well as they . We Tyrants love , if we can Tyrants be , If not , next Wish is , We may all be free . On the Dissolution of the Club of Voters . Anno 1678. OH Heavens ! we have Signs below , To let us our Destruction know . Eclipses , bearded Stars that range , Are needless to presage our change . When Monarchs frown upon the Wise , And glibly swallow Romish lyes ; When Demonstration can't convince A deaf and unbelieving Prince : When K — by evil Counsel's lead , Crushes the Trunk to raise the Head , And does the Members fiercely sever , To make them calmly lye together ; When self ownness in State presides , And Ignorance our Council guides ; When Y — compounded of Ambition , And the wrath of inquisition ; When by the heat of Heart and Tongue , You 'd guess a heap of Pigeons dung , And by fierce deeds rash and amiss , You 'd think his Blood Spirit of Piss ; When he the stubborn Charioteer , Takes his full uncheck'd Career ; Whilst Brother Thoughtless of his Crown , Upon soft Carkase lays him down , And he 's Postilion to the Crown ; And on the Royal Lumber drives , Prostestants defend your lives : What can the Issue of this be , But loss of Subject's Liberty ? When Crowns Revenue by bribes are wasted , And on vile Pentioners exhausted , When Honest Men receive disgrace , Turn'd out of Offices and Place ; And Powers beckon from the Throne , To let the Nation stand alone . Thinks on new ways for new supplies , And damns the Parliament as Spies● Prorogues , and then dissolves their Heats , And gives no time to try Court-cheats . What can we think of these delusions , But loss of safety , and Confus●on● When K — to Commons makes fine Speeches , And draws his Reason from his breeches , Declares our Nation wants but C — Which must be paid with Subjects Money ? When Whores make Monarchs ; Drunk , and Rule By the idle grant of a dipt Fool● And Dissolutions may be said The Effect of Staggers in the Head , And Government is a Diseas● Made up of Vice and sensual E●se . When Cavaliers in Publick Wars Against their bubled Governours , Swear they 'll no Assistance bring , To a lascivious Dildoe K — . When C — s by various Minds do's draw , Ruling by Letchery not by Law ; Who do's his Pimps , not Statesmen trust , Spending his brains upon his Lust : When things are thus perversly sowing , Poor Nineveh is surely going . When French runs through the Prin●es Veins , And he by theirs , not our Law Reigns . When French c●eeps into Royal Bed , First charming Codpiece , then the Head , And Monarch Sw — s on good behaviour , But as he 'll shew dear Monsieur Favour . When Female Buttocks dictate thus , Good Lord ! what will become of us ? Is there no end of Monarchs Itch , That doats upon a fulsome Bitch , Who ranker than the Adder grows , Ferrets her Belly with his Nose ? And swears upon her bawdy Skin , He 'll let the Mass and French Troops in : Assigns his Crown and Royal Power , To be dispos'd of by a Whore● Beware unthinking C — s beware , Consider and begin to fear ; For Pope and Lewis are untrue : Whatever I — declares to you , He 's warranted by Holy Mother , To sham and gull his Elder Brother ; When he 's to work you to design , He first will soak you well with Wine , And then to your Incestuous Eyes , He 'll show again her H — ss Thighs ; Strip her of greatness for the Cause , And shew her Scut to change the Laws ; But this is no immodest thing , To have her Humbles view'd by K — , She may expose on such occasion , Her Popish A — to the whole Nation . Zeal wipes away all Impudence , The greatest crimes are Innocence , When for the Churches good intended ; And thus her H — ss faults are mended , And Catholick Modesty befriended ; This was a good attempt at first , Shew'd she ne'er bashfully was nurs'd ; But rather liv'd 'mongst shamble Crew , Brought up in some Italian Stew ; A Dutchess in our Country , known A common Strumpet in her own . From Dukes that are but little better , From a Whore by Nation and by Nature , From a King that Reigns by their direction , From Subjects guided by the Devil's Protection , From a soust Pilot at the Helm , Good Lord deliver this poor Realm .

Some say he is diverted thence , And sailed into France , Because the Wind at 's going hence Stood Bedloe , Oates , and Prance . Some think he went unwillingly , And others say he 's sent there , But most affirm for certainty He 's gone to keep his Lent there . But those that can astrologize Do swear nothing more true is , The soleness of his Errand lies To fetch his Cousin Lewis ; And both together , as they say , ( If one may dare to speak on 't ) Through Hereticks Bloud will cut a way To bring in I — the Second . By yea and nay , the Quaker cries , How can we hope for better , Truth 's not in him that this denies , Read Edward Coleman's Letter . Gar , Gar , the Jockey swears fou thing , Man , here is mickle work : Deel split his Wem , he 's ne'er long King , Whose name does rhime to Pork The Welshman swears , Cut splutter Nails , God send her from her Foes , Was never have a Prince of Wales That wears a Roman Nose . Whate'er Pretences offered be , Sure somewhat is contriving ; And he is blind that cannot see The Plot is still a driving .

Gentlemen , Now is the time , acquit your selves like Men , Else who can say you 'll ever see 't again Divide not , for your lives , their work is done ; Down must the Papists go , and mouth must run ; Let not his Imprecations us befool , He 's worse than mad that trusts a Y — Tool Should he now chuse us Sheriffs , and clodpate Juries , We fall as Victims to their Popish Furies . Oh , Heaven ! direct us to unite , we pray ; Old England's Fate depends upon this day , And those unborn to bless or curse us may . On the same occasion . Lewis of France hath been the Prot'stant Scourge , And Lewis of London is the Papists Drudge . One plays the Tyrant to uphold his Lust , And London's Villain doth betray his Trust.

We 'll try for another may serve our intention , That England will betray for Place or Pention , That 's the life of the Cause , and the end of Invention . We lost an old set would have done it no doubt , But — on ill luck , Rogue Tony was out ; Could we get them again , we 'd hug and cologue 'em , Nor D — nor Dutchess should e'er prorogue ' em . ( And honest endeavour to make us all Slaves , Pray which the worst evil , the Cause or the Knaves : ) Old Albion looks ill , she was heard to complain , Her Head , O! her Head was the cause of her pain ; It 's all on a Lump , for it cannot discover 'Twixt its Catholick Foes , and the Protestant Lover , Her Emp'ricks and Quacks , call'd Divine , and some Civil , Advise her to bleed again for the King 's Evil. But better the Rogues were sent quick to the Devil : What! bleed an old Woman , Spring , Winter , and Fall ? Don't you know she 's too old to be practis'd withall ? But if you do venture once more to attempt it , It 's forty to one you 're the first that repent it , For your Plots , and your Murthers , and Treasons she 'll try you , Though the Monsieur , and Tories , and Devils stand by you . On Nell . Hard by Pell-mell lives a Wench called Nell , K.

A Butcher's Son's Judge Capital Poor Protestants for to enthrall , And England to enslave , Sirs . Lose both our Laws and Lives we must , When to doe Justice we entrust So known an errant Knave , Sirs . Some hungry Priests he did once fell With mighty strokes , and them to Hell Sent presently away , Sirs . Would you know why , the reason 's plain , They had no English nor French Coin To make a longer stay , Sirs . The Pope to Purgatory sends , Who neither Money have nor Friends , In this he 's not alone , Sirs : For our Judge to Mercy 's not enclin'd Lest Gold change Conscience and his Mind , You are infallibly gone , Sirs . His Father once exempted was Out of all Juries . Why ? Because He was a Man of Bloud , Sirs . And why the Butcherly Son forsooth , Should now be Jury and Judge both Cannot be understood , Sir. The good old Man with Knife and Knocks Made harmless Sheep and stubborn Ox Stoop to him in his fury But the brib'd Son , like greasie Elfe , Kneels down and worships Golden Calf , And so do all the Jury . Better thou'dst been at Father's Trade An honest Livelihood to have made In hampering Bulls with Collars , Than to thy Countrey be unjust , First sell , and then betray thy trust , For so many hard Rix-dollars . Priest and Physician thou didst save From Gallows , Fire , and from Grave For which we can't endure thee , The one can ne'er absolve thy sins , And the other ( though he now begins ) Of Knavery ne'er can cure thee . But lest we all should end his life , And with a keen-whet Chopping knife In a thousand pieces , cleave him : Let the Parliament first him undertake , The 'll make the Rascal stink at stake , And so like a Knave let 's leave him . Pars Secunda . Since Justice S — P — and D — did bail , Upon the good Cause did turn his tail , For 2000 pounds to buy Tent and Ale , Which no body can deny . The Jury and Judge to sham the Plot , Free'd the Traytours to prove it was not , But old England will stand when the Rogues go to pot , Which no body can deny . S — was at first a Man of the Blade , And with his Father follow'd the Butcherly Trade , But 't was the Peter-pence made him a Jade , Which no body can deny . He 'd stand by the Protestant's cause he said , And lift up his eyes and cry'd we'er all betray'd ; But the Petty Fogger was then in a Maskquerade , Which no body can deny . When D — mention'd to the King his name , He said he had neither honesty nor shame : And would play any sort of Game , Which no body can deny . He swears he 'd confound Bedlow and Oates , And prove the Papist's Sheep and the Protestant's Goats , And that they are all fools that on Property dotes , Which no body can deny . A Copy of Verses flung into Iustice S — Chamber . Here Lives the Woolf Justice , and Butcherly Knave , Who Protestants gaols , but the Papist's does save , He 's a bold Persecutour , contrary to Laws , Of all that dare write for the Protestant cause : Since these were his Actions , in vain was his Prate , And false Imprecations he printed of late , 'T will one day be Prov'd ( old clod pate ) that you Were Brib'd by the Court and Portugal too ; When Parliament come to Town you 'll receive such a Check , Not your Speech nor your Pardon ) will save your Bull Neck : In the Interim go on and play England's story , You 'll hang at the last as Tresilian before ye . For we 'll have the Plot — come on 't what can be In spight of old clod Pate , Y — , L — , D — : 'T is not Prorogations shall serve the Rogues turn , We 'll dye at our doors e er in Smithfield we 'll burn . The Pope's Advice ; with the Holiness's Benediction to his Iudge and Iury in Utopia . Well done , my Sons , you have redeem'd my Cause , Beyond my expectation from the Jaws Of my Curst foe's , the Protestant's their Laws ; For had you not thus timely stept between , They had endanger'd both my Cause and Queen , And then Past all Redemption had it been . From Tyburn they more Martyrs had me sent , Which I had rather Quick , to th' Devil went , Than my designs so well contriv'd be shent . Go on and Prosper never change you notes , The sign o' th' Cross direct your open throats To cry not guilty , so you 'll baffle Oates . Forsworn , no matter , if you Perjur'd be , You are d●spenc't with , and ought to go free ; 'T is mighty service to the Court and me : Who will Requite it and for certain know My Pardons and Blessings on you I bestow , Besides the Gold you have receiv'd , I owe Far greater Sums then e'er the Court yet gave To Pimp , or Cheat , to Traytor , Whore , or Knave , Might satisfie our lust , or sinking Credit save . But that 's not all unless we do declare , And set our mark upon our favourites fair , That Hereticks may know them which they are : And first dear Coggs with thee we shall begin , Altho' of late thou wert a man of sin , And didst abuse those ( for us ) put ye in . From which we now absolve ye as we 're Pope , And do allow that Butchers by the Rope ; Begin ( not end ) for that would mar our hope . T is true at first 't was prudent , witty , quaint , To counter●eit the Devil and the Saint , With zealous thunder 'gainst the Jesuits complaint . This gain'd your credit with the Rabble rout Confirm'd the choice to such who wisht you out , But now that 's done it's time to look about : And dare to act to set my vassals free , You shall receive from holy James and me , A Crimson Cap at least , my Legat be ; Provided you escape Tressilian's Triple tree . Next hated Ralph thou leader of the van , My Papall Power shall doe all it can To make the next Election senate Man : And reason good , for then my cause would thrive , If all prove such , the Hereticks we 'll drive Till not a soul of them be left alive . They 're all right Roman H — H — D — town , And D — together B — these H — — Sworn to be true but false as Iack of Leydon . Next were two Judges B — D — never right In rack and manger lay those Beast's delight Next three were monsters , a very whale that 's white : Thus being coller'd , all together swore To doe such Justice , ne'er was done before : Prostrate their Wives to save the common Whore. For which good service most did places gain ; One made the Whales unto Charles's wain , And Tape maker , light man did obtain . Three more had places to their hearts desire , Which T — afforded ; made them each Esquire , And all they were to doe , was set the Land on fire . Informing D — that 's Landlord to Sir W — To save his Tenent Golden Pills did take , Whose blessed guilt before did make him quake : The rest had Gold dropt by the Fairy Queen , Left in their shoon that she might pass unseen ; Which expell'd poyson as 't had never been . By this , my Sons , ye left them in the lurch , And swept the scandal of our Holy Church ; Which e'rst stood tott'ring on a broken Crutch . Strangely reviv'd my Lordly Sons i●th ' Tower , Who now ( transported ) laugh to scorn the power Of Lords and Commons , from whom they fear'd a showre . And o'er the Hereticks have ' dvantage got , Who stopt the blest proceedings of my Plot : No oppositions left but th' Fanatick sot . For which good service debtors we remain , Till we get Britain in our Fist again , Then then be sure we 'll well requite your pain . Till then adieu , He 'll have you in it's care , And ever dictate what you say or swear ; May make you usefull to St. Peter's Chair . Rome Iuly 22 d. Stylo Novo . 1679. SATYR . His Holiness has three grand friends , O Great Britain's Shoar , That Prosecute his ( and their own ) ends ; A D — a Judge , and a Whore. The D — is as true as steel To the Pope that infallib'e Else , Therefore no friend to the Common-weal , Nor no freind unto himself . The Judge is a Butcher's Son , Yet hates to shed Innocent bloud : But for ten thousand Pound has done the Pope a great deal of good . He that villain W — clear'd , Who was to have poison'd the King ; As it most plainly appeard , For which he deserves a swing . P — that Pocky Bitch , A damn'd Papistical Drab , An ugly deform'd Witch , Eaten up with the Mange and Scab . This French Hag's Pockey Bum So powerfull is of late , Although it 's both blind and dumb , It rules both Church and State. On the Monument upon Fish-street Hill. When Hodge first spy'd the Labour in vain Grown since he pass'd by Pudding Lane , To reach his Chin up as he gaz'd , Till level with his Forehead rais'd ; With Face that Horizontal lies , With gaping Mouth and staring Eyes , Supporting on his staff his Jaw , He lookt the hight of what he saw As one that makes-an observation , Chap-fallen he stood with admiration . Hodge was ( although to Cart confin'd ) A Virtuoso in his kind , And long he stockt up in his Crown Whate'er he saw or heard in Town Within his musty Fancy mew'd , Heated into similitude , That whatsoever subject fell , He bargains ready had to sell , Though the similitude most pat Shew that Men say they know not what● A new Spout to quench the fire , Or else to draw the smoke up higher ; A modell of a Pepper-box , Or Microscope to view an Ox , Or else a Candlestick to place a Light For such as travel in the night ; Or Christmass Candle overgrown , Not to shew Light , but to be shewn ; Or else a Torch with gilded flames , To steer the Boats that row on Thames , Or else a piece of Art and Labour , Of Hook out Architecting Babor . When long he thus himself had guess'd , Nor could the swallow'd sight digest , He ask'd a Wag at the next Stall , To whom belongs this House so tall ? The City's Monument is this , In token that our Mayor did piss ; It seems when London's Mayor doth stale , She by consent too lays her Tail ; Bodies so great may bear th' expence Of such a vast Sirreverence ; But 't is a heap which would have rent All but the City's Fundament . The D. of M's Letter to the K. transvers'd . Disgrac'd , and one forlorn , made Fortune's sport , Banish'd the Kingdom first , and now the Court ; Out of my place turn'd , and out of doors , And made the meanest of your Sons of Whores ; The scorn and laughter of the common chat Of your salt Bitches , and your silly Brats ; Forc'd to a private life , to whore and drink , On my past Grandeur and my Folly think . Would I had been the Brat of some mean Drab , Whom fear or shame had made her choak or stab , Rather than be the Issue of a King , And by him made so wretched , scorn'd a thing . What little cause hath Mankind to be proud Of Honour , Birth , the Idols of the Crowd ? Have I abroad with Battles Honour wone , To be at home dishonourably undone ? Mock'd wit a Star and Garter , and made fine , With all those gaudy trifles once call'd mine ; Your Hobby-horses , and your toys of State , And now become the object of your hate , But Damn me , Sir , I 'll be legitimate I was your Darling , but against your will , Know , Sir , that I will be the People's still ; And when you 're dead , I and my Friends , the Rout , Will with my Popish Uncle try a bout , And to my trouble this one comfort bring , Next after you by G — I will be King. The Answer to the D. of M's Letter . Ungratefull Boy , ( I will not call thee Son , ) Thou hast thy self ingloriously undone , And thy complaints serve but to shew the more , How much thou hast engag'd thy Father's Whore ; Resent it not , shake not thy addle Head , And be no more by Clubs of Rascals led . Have I made thee the Darling of my Joys , The prettiest and lustiest of my Boys ? Have I so oft sent thee to the Coast of France , To take new Dresses up , and learn to dance ? Have I given thee a Ribbon and a Star , And sent thee like a Meteor to the War ? Have I done all that Royal Dad could doe And do you threaten me to be untrue ? Oh! that my P — when I thy Dam did — Had in some — A — , or Cow's been stuck ; Then had I been , when that base deed was done , Sure to have got no Rebel to my Son. But say I did with thy fond Mother sport , To the same kindness others did resort : 'T was my good Nature , and I meant her Fame , To shelter thee under my royal Name : Alas ! I never got one whelp alone , My Riches are to every Fop well known , And I still willing all their Brats to own . I made thee once ( 't is true ) the Post of Grace , And stuck upon thee every mighty Place , Each glittering Office , till thy heavy Brow Grew dull with Honour , and my Power low . I spangled thee with Favours , hung thy Nose , With Rings of Gold , and Pearls , till all grew Foes , By secret envy to thy growing state , I lost my safety when I made thee great . There 's not the least injustice to be shown , You must be ruin'd to secure my Throne . Offices are but fickle Grace the Badge , Bestow'd by Fits , and snatch'd away in Rage . And sure the Livery I give my Slaves , I may take from 'em when my P — raves . Thou art a Creature of my own creation , Then swallow this without Capitulation , If you with feigned wrongs still keep a clutter , And make the People for your sake to mutter , For my own comfort , but your trouble , know by G — I 'll send you to the Rout below .

FIrst for the honour of Almighty God , and in pursuance of the solemne League and Covenant which we made in the presence of Almighty God for the Reformation and defence of Religion , the honour and happinesse of the King , and the peace and safety of the three Kingdomes of England , Scotland , and Ireland , we have granted , and by this our present Charter have consirmed , That the Church of England shall be free to deny the perpetuall Ordinances of Jesus Christ , to countenance spreading heresies , cursed blasphemies , and generall loosenesse and prophanenesse , and that all Lawes and Statutes formerly made against the aforesaid offences for the punishment and restraining thereof shall be utterly repealed , that so all men may freely enjoy and professe what Religion soever they please without restraint : And we will that all Archbishops , Bishops , and their dependents shall be eternally suppressed , and all their Mannours , Lands and possessions sold to defray and advance the Publique Faith . That all Ministers shall be plundered and thrust out of their livings and free-holds by our Committee of plundering Ministers without Oath or legall tryall , upon bare informations of such of their Parishioners who are indebted to them for Tythes , or have any Kinsman to preferre to their livings . And to supply the want of Ministers , That all Officers , Souldiers , Coblers , Tinkers , and gifted Brethren and Sisters , shall freely preach , and propagate the Gospell to the people , and new dip and rebaptize them without punishment . Item . We will that the Kings Majesties person be maintained , and his Authority preserved , by seizing his Person at Holdenby with a party of horse , and imprisoning him in the Army , indangering his life at Hampton Court , and by colour thereof conveighing him secretly into the Isle of Wight , removing from him all his Attendants , disposing of his Revenue , Children , Forts , Ships , Castles , and Kingdomes , and by this putting in execution these our Votes , That no more addresses be made from the Parliament to the King , nor any Letters or Message received from him : That it shall be Treason for any persons whatsoever to deliver any Message to the King , or receive any Messages or Letters from him , without leave from both Houses of Parliament : That a Committee draw up a Declaration to be published , to satisfie the Kingdome of the reason of passing these Votes , That so the world may beare witnesse with our consciences of our Loyalty , and that we have no thoughts or intentions to diminish His Majesties just power and greatnesse , according to the words of the solemne League and Covenant . Item , We give and grant to the Freemen of the Realm these Liberties under written . First , that no Sheriffes shall make due returnes of the Citizens and Burgesses elected to serve in Parliament , nor make due Elections of Knights , nor in convenient time , nor the ablest wisest , nor discreetest shall be returned , but all fraud and deceit shall be used in Elections , and persons not duly elected , nor elegible by Law shall be Members of the House of Commons , and those to be our sonnes , kindred , servants , officers and such as will comply with us . Item , No Member shall sit in the House of Commons with freedome and safety that endeavours to settle Religion in the purity thereof , according to the Covenant , to mantaine the ancient and fundamentall Government of the Kingdome , or to preserve the Rights and Liberties of the Subject , or that layes hold on the first oportunity of procuring a safe and well-grounded peace in the three Kingdoms , or that keeps a good understanding between the two Kingdomes of England and Scotland , according to the grounds expressed in the solemne League and Covenant . And whoever offends against this Article , we will that such Members be impeached of High Treason by the Army , suspended the House before any particular impeachment , forced to accuse themselves by stating their cases for want of an accuser , and witnesses to prove them criminall , and at the last cast out of the House without answer , hearing the evidence , or privity of those that elected them whose persons they represent . Item , We grant , that neither we nor any by colour of Authority derived from us shall interrupt the ordinary course of Justice in the severall Courts and Judicatures of the Kingdome , nor intermeddle in causes of private interest otherwhere determinable , save onely our Committees of Indempnities , plundered Ministers , Complaints , Sequestrations , Excize and the Army , who shall judge and contradict the Lawes and Statutes of the Realme , vacate and repeale all Indictments , Verdicts , and Judgements given in Courts of Justice , imprison all manner of persons , and turne them out of their Freeholds , Estates , Goods , and Chattels without the lawfull judgement of their Peers , and against the fundamentall Lawes of the Land . Item , we will and ordaine that the great and unusuall payments imposed upon the people , and the extraordinary wayes that were taken for procuring moneyes , shall ( contrary to the trust reposed in us ) be still burthensome , and daily increased more and more upon the people by our bare Votes and Ordinances , without the common consent by Act of Parliament ; and in case of refusall , forcibly levyed by Troops of horse and souldiers , according to the law of decolled Strafford , of all which moneyes our selves and Members will be sole treasurers and disposers : Free-Quarter shall be still tolerated , and countenance given by us to the exactions and extortions of the souldiers , to whom we have granted an Ordinance of Indempnity for all murders , fellonies , rapes , robberies , injuries and trespasses committed by them , and all such offences as they shall commit , to the end they may protect us against the clamours and complaints of the oppressed people either by Sea or Land : and we ordaine , that all Free-men shall henceforth be tryed onely by Martiall and Committee Law , and impeached of new high Treason at our pleasure , to consiscate their estates to our Exchequer . Item , We will that such persons as have done valiantly , and dealt faithfully in the Parliaments cause according to the Declaration of England and Scotland , shall be publikely disgraced and dishonoured , and without cause thrust from their commands and imployments both Civill and Martiall without pay , hearing conviction or reparation for their losses , and that the severall and respective Lievtenants , Governours , and old Garrison Souldiers of the Tower of London , Newcastle , Yorke , Bristoll , Plymouth , Glocester , Exeter , Chester , Pendennis Castle and the Isle of Wight be removed with disgrace by our new Generalissimoes meere arbitrary power , notwithstanding our former Votes and Ordinances for their particular settlement , and new mean seditious Sectaries of our confederacy put into their places . Item , We will that a just difference be made between such persons as never departed from their Covenant and duty , and such as were detestable Newtralists and oppressours of the people , and to that end we will , that the Commission of the Peace be renewed at the pleasure of our flying Speakers , who are to provide , that such be omitted as agree not with the frame and temper of the Army and us their Lords and Commons sitting at Westminster , and others be added in their places who have complied with the enemy , and oppressed the people , and to that end we agree , that the Earle of Suffolke , Earle of Middlesex , William Lord Maynard , William Hicks , Knight and Baronet , John Parsons Knight , Richard Pigott Knight , Edward King Esquire , Thomas Welcome Esquire , and divers others be omitted , and that John Lockey , Thomas Welby , VVilliam Godfrey , Richard Brian , Sir Richard Earle Baronet , and others of that stamp be added , of whose integrity and faithfulnesse Quere . Item , We will that for the perpetuall honour of the Lords and Barons of this Realme , whose Ancestors purchased for us with the expence of their lives and bloods from King John and Henry the third , the great Charter , that they shall from henceforth be impeached of High Treason , committed , imprisoned , and put out of the House of Peers , and forfeit their lives and estates to our disposing , if they defend that great Charter , the lives and Liberties of the Subjects and Parliament against a perfidious and rebellious Army , and us the fugitive Lords and Commons , who fled from our Houses to the Army without cause , and there entred into a trayterous Covenant and Ingagement , to live and die with the Army , and to destroy the faithfull Members that stayed behind at Westminster , and all the freedome of this and future Parliaments . And we will that henceforth there shall be no House of Peers , distinct from Commons , but that all Peers and Peerage be for ever abolished , and all great and rich mens estates levelled and made equall to their poorest neighbours , for the better reliefe and encouragement of the poor Saints . Item , We will that the City of London shall have all her ancient Liberties and Customes in as full and ample manner as her Predecessors ever had , and for that end we will that the Army shall march in a Warlike manner towards that City , and passe like Conquerours in tryumph through the same . That all the Fortifications and Line about it shall be slighted and thrown downe , the Tower taken out of their hands , and put into our Generalls , and fortified to over-awe them ; the Militia of the City changed and divided from that of Westminster , and Southwarke , the Lord Mayor , Recorder , Aldermen and some leading men of the Common Counsell , by crafty , sinister , and feigned informations , impeached of high Treason , and other great Misdemeanours imprisoned and disabled , and others by our appointment and nomination put into their places , and the Citizens and Common Counsell-men shall henceforth make no free Elections of Governours and Officers : That White-Hall , the Muse , Minories , Ely-house and other places shall be made Citadells , that the Posts and Chaines in the City and Suburbs be taken away , their Gates and Purcullices pulled downe , their Armes delivered into a common Magazine by our appointment , to disable them from all future possibility of selfe-defence , or disobedience to our imperiall commands , that so they may willingly deliver us up the remainder of their exhausted treasures and estates , when we see cause to require the same , and made as absolute Freemen for all their expence of treasure and blood in our defence , as our English Gally-slaves now are in Algier . Item , We will that the command of the Navy and all ships at Sea , for the honour of this Nation and our owne , be committed into the hands and government of a Vice-Admirall , ( without and against the consent of the Lords ) of late but a Skippers Boy , a common Souldier in Hull , a I eveller in the Army , impeached by the Generall for endeavouring to raise a mutiny at the late Rendevouz , and since that taken with a Whore in a Bawdy house , who rode downe in triumph to the Downes to take possession of his place in a Coach and foure horses , with a Trumpeter and some Troopers riding before and after it , sounding the Trumpet in every Towne and Village as they passed , to give notice of his new Excellencies arrivall , and make the common people vaile Bonnet , and strike sale to his Coach , and at his late returne from the Isle of Wight to the Downes was rowed from the ship to the Towne of Deale with the Ensigne in the sterne , the Boatswaine and all the Rowers bare headed , like so many Gally-slaves , ( a new kind of state which never any Lord-Admirall in England , though the greatest Peer , yet tooke upon him , but the King onely : ) and to maintaine this new pompe and state of his we will and ordain , that all Merchants , as well Natives as Forraigners , shall pay such new Customes , Impositions , and Excize for all manner of goods and Merchandize whatsoever imported , or exported , as we in our arbitrary wisdomes shall judge meet , under paine of forfeiture of all their said goods and Merchandize , and such other penalties as we shall impose . Item , We will and ordaine for the ease and reliefe of the almost famished poore in these times of dearth and decay of Trade , that Excize shall still be paid by them , and every of them for every drop of small beer they drinke , and for all oyles , dying stuffes , and Mercers wares they shall have occasion to use about their Trades and Manufactures , and that the lusty young souldiers , who are able to worke and get their livings by the sweat of their browes , shall ramble abroad through all the Kingdome , and like so many sturdy rogues , take Free-quarter for themselves , horses and companions from place to place , refusing to work , shall eat up all the provisions in Gentlemens , Yeomens , Clothyers , and other rich mens houses , who formerly relieved the impotent poore with their Almes , and the able with work . Item , We will that William Lenthall our Speaker for the time being , shall have a Monopoly and plurality of all kind of Officers , for the maintenance of his state and dignity , and recompence of his infidelity , in the deserting the true House of Commons , notwithstanding the selfe-denying Ordinance to the contrary , and to this end we ordaine , that he shall be our perpetuall Speaker , and eternally take five pounds for every Ordinance that passeth the Commons House , with all other incident ( new exacted ) fees and gratuities ; that he shall with this his office enjoy the custody and profits of the great Seale of England , the Dutchy of Lancaster , together with the Mastership of the Rolls , and as many other places as we shall be able to conferre upon him or his sonne ; and that his honoured brother Sir John Lenthall for his great affection to and care of the Subjects Liberties committed to his custody , shall have free licence to suffer what prisoners he pleaseth to escape out of prison , and Sir Lewis Dives though Voted by us to be arraigned and tryed for high Treason this Terme , and all persons lying in execution for debts to goe and lie abroad at their owne houses , and make escapes at pleasure to the defrauding of Creditors , without being prosecuted , or put out of his office for the same , provided they alwayes give him a good gratuity for this their liberty of escape . Item , We will that our distressed Brethren in Ireland may enjoy the benefit of this our new great Charter , and all the liberties therein comprized , and that by vertue thereof the supplies , reliefs , men , moneyes , and the monethly Tax of sixty thousand pounds designed for them , shall be totally interrupted , misimployed , and diverted by King Crumwell and Prince Jreton his son-in-law , to maintaine , pay and recruit their Supernumeraries and the Army here : That the noble and valiant Lord Inchequin who hath done such gallant service against the Rebells , shall be accused and blasted in both our Houses and Pamphlets , and mercenary Diurnall men for a Traytor , and Confederate with the Rebells , by the Lord Lisle and his confederates , who wears much of Irelands imbezelled treasure on his back , and hath much more of it in his purse , taking no lesse then 10. l. or 15. l. a day , as Lord Deputy of that Realme , onely for riding about London streets in his Coach in state , and victorious honest Col. Jones discountenanced , discouraged , and both of them removed this Spring from their commands , to advance the Independent cause , and godly party in that Realme .

A78069	----	Mola asinaria: or, The unreasonable and insupportable burthen now press'd upon the shoulders of this groaning nation: by the headless head, and unruly rulers, that usurp upon the liberties and priviledges of the oppressed people. Held forth in a remonstrance to all those that have yet sound and impartial ears to hear, and duly weighed in the scales of equity and justice ... Wherein is demonstrated, what slavery the nation must subject it self to, by allowing the lawfulness and usurped authority of the pretended Long Parliament now unlawfully and violently held at Westminster.

Jusque datum Sceleri . Printed at London , in the Year MDCLVIX . Mola Asinaria , &c. Countrymen : THere is not any thing in the Universe deserves less to be a Member of it , then a self-seeking Man , who unconcern'd in the publick Good , regards onely his private Interest . The World unwillingly contributes to his maintenance ; and Nature less abhors a Vacuum , then that any place should be filled by a Subject so empty of desert . He is a savage Creature in the midst of civil People , not deserving to be born of others , as not caring to live , but for himself . Nay , it is worthily reputed a kind of civil death , to do nothing else but live : for as long as we have a Country to abide in , we have a duty to tender it . All we have , we have from it ; and by consequence owe it all we have . Our Lives and Fortunes are safest , when ventured for the publick Interest ; and he is the truest Lover of Law and Liberty , that affects rather to be ruled , then to rule ; he the freest Subject , that creates himself a voluntary Slave to his Countries service . Take from the world this inviolable Law , ( that is not writ in brass , but deeply imprinted in loyal hearts ) and it shall again turn savage and barbarous . This is a truth so manifest , and not to be dissembled , that never yet was there a Tyrant , but pretended to be a Saviour of the people . Liberty , Conscience , a glorious Nation , The Good Old Cause , and such specious Names are made use of : Nec quisquam alienum servitium & dominationem concupivit , ut non eadem ista vocabula usurparit . These Machiavilian Tricks , and political Cheats so often put upon the people of our Nation , me thinks should have by this time undeceived us with a sad experience of the miseries we have subjected our selves to , by a perpetual itch of reforming , annulling , creating Laws , and framing new Governments to the model of every Grandees ambition ; and yet we are againe ready to thrust our Necks into a new yoak of Slavery , rather then any man will engage his private Fortunes , and venture to redeem his Country from Bondage . It is laid to the charge of English-men by Forraigners , that we are {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , and above all Nations under Heaven pretending to civility , the greatest self-seekers ; as regarding much more our own particular , then the general concerns . I must needs say , other Nations would have canonized for Martyrs , and erected Statues after their death to the memory of some of our Compatriots , whom ye have barbarously defaced and mangled yet alive , for no other motive , but their undaunted Zeal . It has been ( I know not whether I should say ) your misfortune , or my glory , to become a Sufferer for a Legal Vindication of the Liberties of our Kingdom ; but yet I never knew what it was to fear , when I perceived my self engaged in so good a cause ; not envy nor snarling Pamphlets shall stop the course of my Pen freely running into my Countries defence , which my Profession and Age forbid me to vindicate by the Sword . Let young Men serve it with their strength and arms , let old Men secure it by their heads and counsel : for my part , I desire to live no longer then I can in some sort contribute to so glorious a work . I have of late been snarled at for it by certain licentious Scriblers , that durst not own their names for fear of discovering their Asses ears : however , they are pleased to twitch at the honourable remnant of mine . They thought to have stopt my mouth by their brauling and braying ; but I dare yet speak louder ; and I hope I shall be heard by all such as have yet sound and impartial ears : but if my cry will not reach you , I fear ( dear Country-men ) the voyce of blood will speedily interrupt your slumbring security . Those that will be Lawless , finde fault with my Writings , because I vindicate the anciently established Laws of England ; and tax me of desperate Non-sense , because I will not allow them an unlimited , unlegal Legislative Power to repeal , annul , alter , and enact what Laws soever they deem best to serve their own turns . They deceitfully cry out , Salus populi suprema lex esto ! an Axiome that I no ways deny to be true ; but I would desire to be instructed who are to be Judges , of what is expedient for the good of the people ? The Author of the forecited Maxime says , Leges Magistratibus praesunt , ut Magistratus praesunt populo : And the great Doctor St. Austin not doubted to affirm , that those societies where Law and Justice is not , are not Common-wealths or Kingdoms , but Magna latrocinia , great thefts and trapanning cheats . As for the power of altering Laws , or bringing in new ones , and setting up new Governments , it is allowed by wise men , that all power lawfully exercised upon a Commonwealth , must necessarily be derived either from the appointment of God , who is supreme Lord of all ; or from the consent of the Society it self , that hath the next power to his , of disposing of their own Liberty , as they shall think fit for their good , whose benefit is the end of all Government . Therefore whoever arrogates such power to himself , that cannot produce one of these two Titles , is not a Ruler , but an Invader , or a Tyrant . Now how this pretended Long Parliament , restored by the force of Souldiers , by whose force it had first been dissolved , and was before annulled by the death or murther of King Charles the first , that summoned it , he being Principium , causa , & finis Parliamenti ; after his murther , the house of Lords and Monarchy being abolished , and so many of the ancient Members thrown out , new ones unduly elected , and such horrid thefts , rapes , &c. committed by them upon the people , can lawfully be said the Peoples Representatives , and authorized by them , is the greatest Riddle that ever was propounded to a puzzled State . It was in the year 1649 , that I published a Legal Vindication of the Liberties of England ; in which I demonstrated the nullity of the then-pretended Long Parliament ; and lately I set forth a lively pattern of the spurious Old Cause pretended to be revived and vindicated by the fine Pageant or now-sitting Ghost of the long-since departed Long Parliament ; neither need I reason farther with reasonable Persons about it : Yet since this Phantastical Hob-gobbling appears still to fright the quiet people , and tempts them ( like an evil Spirit ) to give themselves to such an unruly Devil ; I will here onely hold forth to the view of all good Englishmen , what slavery they must needs subject themselves unto , if they resolve to cast off forever their lawful Master and Soveraign , and take for new Masters these upstart domineering Tyrants . Let then every honest freeborn Subject of England , lay his hand upon his breast , and ask of his own Conscience , whether notwithstanding all former Oaths of Allegiance , Supremacy , Protestation , solemn Leagues and Covenants , &c. he can voluntarily submit to , and thereby freely acknowledge , contrary to his former knowledge and the said Oath , &c. 1. That there may be , and now is a lawfully-assembled Parliament of England actually in being , legally continuing after the late Kings death , or lawfully re-assembled without King , Lords , or most of their fellow-Members , consisting onely of a few late Members of the Commons House . 2. That this Parliament re-established by a Military force ▪ and packed together by Power of an Army combining with them , hath just and lawful Authority , and had it before ; 1. To arraign , condemn and execute their lawful King himself , with the Peers and Commons of this Realm . 2. To dis-inherit the Kings Posterity of the Crown . 3. To extirpate Monarchy , and the whole house of Peers . 4. To violate the Priviledges , Rights , Freedoms , Customs , and alter the Constitution of Parliaments themselves ; to change and subvert the ancient Government , Seals , Laws , Writs , Courts and Coyn of the Kingdom . 5. To sell and dispose of all the Lands , Revenues , Jewels , Goods of the Crown , with the Lands of Deans and Chapters , for their own advantages , not for the easing of the people from taxes . 6. To dispose of the Forts , Ships , Forces , Offices of Honour , Power , Trust or Profit , to whom they please . 7. To raise and keep up what Forces by Land or Sea they please , and impose Taxes , &c. to make what new Acts , Laws , and reverse what old ones they think meet . 8. To absolve themselves ( by more then a Papal Power ) and all the subjects of this Land , from all the aforesaid Oaths , Engagements , Protestations , &c. 9. To permit , settle , or invent what Sect , Heresie , or Religion they please , provided they be not Papacy or Prelacy , and that they allow not blasphemy against the Trinity . 10. I ask now if every freeborn Subject that hath not raised himself an Interest by villany , or an Estate by robbery , or incurred a guilt to the Gallows for having his hand in blood , had not better venture Life and Fortunes to reduce the true and lawful Heir into a peaceful Possession of his right , then to authorize by his consent a new-fangled Government compacted of Treason , Usurpation , Tyranny , Theft and Murder ?

From June 9 to July 7. 1659. By J. Canne Intelligencer Generall . LONDON : Printed according to Order , 1659. To the Reader . Courteous Reader , LEast the famous and noble Atcheivments of our late renowned Parliament should be buried in oblivion , as surely as the Authors of them will be with infamy , it was thought fit and much conducing to the publick benifit to continue this second part of their Acts and Monuments , that posterity may not be ignorant of their honesty , and good intentions , to have promoted their own interests , and confounded that of the Common-wealth ; If further opportunity , and true intelligence shall offer themselves , it is not improbable that their exploits , till their second crack , may be exposed to publick view . In the mean time , give the Authors leave to doe something else , and follow his old calling of scribing Diurnalls . A CONTINUATION OF THE ACTS and MONVMENTS of our late Parliament . Thursday June 9. THis day the house receiv'd a letter from John Bradshaw one of the keepers of the great seale , wherein he desir'd that the House would please to dispense with the weaknesse of their Brother's body now , whose soule had been at their service many yeares since , whereupon it was ordered , that the Petitioner have the thanks of the House , and be President of the next high Court of Justice , before which any King whatsoever shall be called . Ordered also that during this indisposition of his body , Harry Martin attend upon him daily to administer unto him Ghostly comfort ; and in his absence that the other Sir Harry supply that office . This day also severall of the Officers of the Army receiv'd their Commissions from Mr. Speaker , amongst which was Mr. Moore of Grayes Inne Esquire who received a Commission to be Comptroller of the house : Sir Henry Martin was Commissionated Muster-Master Generall of all the Whores in the Common-wealth , and the Lord Munson his Corporall . A Petition from severall well-affected persons inhabitants of the Town of Ailsbury was read , wherein they desired a Statute of Brasse to be erected for Mr. Scot , but one of the house standing up , and swearing a Gibbet would become him better , the Petitioners were dismissed insatisfied , June 10. It was this day resolved that Colonell Barkstead be no longer Lievtennant of the Tower , because the Parliament hate blood-thirsty men . The Quallification of persons for places of trust ( formerly omitted ) was as follows . The Parliament doth declare that all such as shall be in any place of trust or power within this Common-wealth be persons of a very fair carriage , thrice perjur'd , and the newest Sectaries . June 11 , After a long debate concerning the interpretation of ( the good old Cause ) some of the members calling it , the Saints Watchword , others the Cavalier's Purgatory , some one thing , some another , it was resolved that the Good Old Cause is in truth a going on in the great worke of making up the Parliament-men's Estates , where they left off at their last interruption ; and this definition was recorded by the Clerk of the Parliament accordingly . Munday June 13. Ordered . That the Gentry of Northumberland who presented a petition this day to the house , have a Letter of thanks sent them , and that Jack Adams of the Parish of Clarken-well write the same . Resolved . That the Bill of Union between England and Scotland be referred to Generall Monk to be brought in by him the day immediately before he intend's to dye . June 14. Resolved . That Colonell Hewson be translated from the Government of Dublin to be a Colonell of a Regiment of Foot . This afternoon , the house voted Baron Tomlins to keep his place in the Exchequer till they can find or procure a wiser . June 15. Colonell Fitz having this day received his Commission to be Lievtenant of the Tower , Mr. Speaker told him the sence of the house ( as to the performance of his trust ) in this manner . Colonell Fitz , you have now received a speciall token of the Parliament's favour , you are committed to the Tower , pray be diligent and vigilant , and in requitall of of these high obligations , the house desires you that if it happen at any time that any of their members should ( which God forbid ) come under your custody , you will use them with a brotherly fellow-feelingnesse , and not as Barkstead served Sindercombe , and Mr. Armiger , Sir you have heard what their pleasure is : be good in your office . June 16. The Circuit-judges having this day been voted , Mr. Speaker proposed what instructions were fitting to be given to them , and it was agreed that it be referred to praise God Barbone , to direct them in a way that should consist most with the Parliament's safety . June 17. 18. These two dayes the house having much wast-paper in store , and more then the Alderman needed , they imploy'd it in writing Commissions , which were delivered in abundance to sundry offices that made their obeisance for them very mannerly . Major Overton's petition being read , it was immediately voted , nemine contradicente , that the late Generall was a Tyrant , and the petition a persecuted Saint , whereupon he was referr'd to the consideration of the Colchester Commitee . June 19. This day ( according to former order ) praise God Barbone made a speech to the Judges appointed for this Summer Circuit , there was little in it : but the cheife thing he pressed was to desire them not so much to respect the letter of the Law , as that of the Gospell , for ( said he ) one is a killing letter , and you should be milde , and mercifull : the strictnesse and rigour of the Law ( said he ) is like the skin of a Beast , rough , and hairy , but when by mercifulnesse the hairs and brisles are shav'd off , and when by indulgency the Hide is tann'd and dress'd and made smooth , that which before was profitable for nothing , serveth for many uses : the rest of the speech continues yet in Brachygraphy at the Citty-Remembrancer's house . June 20. It was this day resolv'd by the Councill of State that the people should not be wrong'd by Lawyers exactions : and presently after the Parliament voted that all England should be lawlesse , and free to what they pleased ; and that was voted , the liberty of the subject . June 21. The businesse of Tithes having been long in consideration , it was now resolv'd upon , that all the good people of this Common wealth should pay their Tithes to the house , and some of the officers of the Army , whereupon severall receivers were appointed , Mr. Speaker was appointed to receive all the Poultry for the enlargement of his houshold provisions , excepting Cocks , and Sparrowes , which were received for Henry Martins , and the Lord Munson . The Lord Disbrow was to receive all the Tithe Corne , &c. June 22. This day was wholly spent in receiving and reading severall Addresses and Petitions , one being more remarkable then the rest I have thought fit to insert ; it was intituled . The humble Petition of divers Madmen and others inhabitants of Bedlam in the County of Middlesex , Mr. Speaker . Your Petitioners being very sensible of the great perills our Nation is distracted with ; knowing also that from this house come all those taxes , and sequestrations , and many other things which make men mad , we out of a tenderness , and sense of our own condition , and your forwardnesse to be our benefactors , are heer assembled , to desire you that an Act be immediately dispatched to remove , either the Parliament-house to Moor-fields , or our Palace to your meeting-house , your Petitioners ( with submission ) thinking , that there is like to be no diffrence betwixt ●s , it being also clear upon our spirits that Madmen and ●ooles may shake hands without breaking the peace ; and truly Gentlemen when the reckoning comes to be paid , you 'l find , that which will make you mad , if you were not so before : Therefore ( my Masters ) learne to swim for fear of drowning ; learne to swing for fear of hanging ; make one another rich ; give the divell his due ; live as long as you can ; and when you come to dye , goe to heaven and if you can tell how . And your Petitioners shall ever pray him to prosper you , that set you on worke . At the bottome of the Petition instead of names subscribed , one had sowed a straw on it ; another made 3 or 4 pinholes , a third made a great scrawle , every of the society according to his fancy . June 23. This day were read in the house the letters from . Don Pluto's Court , directed thus , to our good servants , trusty and well-beloved drudges , promoters of our interest , the supream authority siting in Parliament at Westminster , so long as our self , and the Army pleaseth . Dated thus , June 20. 1659. Given at our Palace upon the banks of Acheron . June 24. The great work of this day was to indempnify all persons from the guilt of innocent blood who had an hand in cutting off the late King's head . After that passed , they resolv'd on an Oath to be taken by the Judges and Other officers ▪ the Oath was as followeth . You shall swear to be true , faithfull and constant to this Common-wealth ( that is ) us and our heires without a single Person , King-ship , or house of Peers , till such as a single Person shall Govern again , and no longer . Which was accordingly minished , and ( I beleive ) will be kept . June 25. This day Bradshaw and Sir Henry Mildmay petition'd the House to call in the King that one might condemn him , and the other have the Crown Jewell . June 26. 27. Upon a Petition against Tithes it was resolved that the Judges in their Circuits tell the Ministers that they shall have their Tithes paid them still as formerly , till the Parliament shall find it safer to take them away , and the companyes of Schismaticks , and Hereticks , augmented to such a considerable number , as may second such their proceedings against all gainsayers . June 28. 29. A letter was this last day read from H. Cromwell late Leivetenant of Ireland , together with the letter was a pacquet which being open'd was found to be filled with Irish Birch , bound up in the fashion of rodds , and a paper which was fastned to one of them , with this inscription You may chastise me , if it seem good in your eyes . June 30. The House being idely disposed , spent the greatest part of this day in giving Commissions to severall Souldiers ; and receiving their Complements . July 1. This very day the House made two Serjeants at Law , William Steele and Miles Corbet , and that was work enough for one day . July 2. Letters of Credence from Frederick King of Denmark directed Insignissimis Reipub. Angl. Rebellibus in Parliamento Westmonasterii . Dated in the Tower of Hafnae 28 May , 1659 , were this day read . July 3. This day the House took into consideration the Citty Charter , and finding the present Major not to correspond with it in regard of his want of a few haires on his face ; presently ordred the Lord Tichborn and one of the Sheriffs to be Plenipotentiaries to truck with the King of Spaine for as many pair of Whiskers as shall be requisite for some of the Cittizens , and other well affected Englishmen of the Lord Major's religion who are deficient in that particular . July 4. Resolv'd . That the Excise-men are Publicans , and all but the Parliament-members , sinners . Resolv'd . That the Farmers of the Excise , and customes have deceived the people , and are unsufferable Extortioners , for which cause , the Parliament doth declare that , they shall be outed , it being found by experience to be true that , so many of one trade , as the House and they , cannot thrive by one another . July 5. At the Councill of State . Ordered . That Whitehall be emptied in six days time ▪ and that within two dayes after , tagg , ragg and longtaile take possession . July 6. An Ambassadour extraordinary from the Emperour of the Antipodes arriving this day at Westminster was conducted from the Court of Wards by Sir Oliver Fleming Master of the Ceremonies : his businesse was to bring the house tidings of the good amity , and league which his Master desireth may be continued with England so long as the house shall sit . Hampton Court being ordered to be sold , severall Chapmen came this day to the House to bargain for parcells thereof , and the Cittizens in the first place paid 500lb for the inheritance of the Horne-Gallery , other customers onely ask't the rates , but bought nothing of it besides for that time . Henry Cromwell being come to the door the house haveing intelligence of it sent the Serjeant at Armes with his Mace to attend on him to the Speaker's Chaire , where being come , he kneel'd down , and ask't the Speaker blessing ; whereupon the House acquiescing in his good affections dismissed him .

Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text.

Containing , Esquire Marvel's further Instructions to a Painter . AND The late Lord Rochester's Farewel . LONDON : Printed in the Year M DC LXXXIX . THE LAST INSTRUCTIONS TO A PAINTER . AFter two sittings , now our Lady State , To end her Picture , does the third time wait . But er'e thou fal'st to work , first Painter see It be'nt too slight grown , or too hard for thee . Canst thou paint without Colours ? Then 't is right : For so we too without a Fleet can fight . Or hast thou dawb a Sign-post , and that ill ? 'T will suit our great debauch and little skill . Or hast thou mark't how antique Masters limn The Aly roof , with snuff of Candle dimm , Sketching in shady smoke prodigious tools , 'T will serve this race of Drunkards , Pimps , and Fools . But if to match our Crimes thy skill presumes , As th' Indians draw our Luxury in Plumes . Or if to score out our compendious Fame , With Hook then , through the microscope , take aim : Where , like the new Controller , all men laugh To see a tall Lowse brandish the white Staff. Else shalt thou oft thy guiltless Pencil curse , Stamp on thy Pallat , nor perhaps the worse . The Painter so , long having vext his cloth , Of his Hound's Mouth to feign the raging froth , His desperate Pencil at the work did dart , His Anger reacht that rage which past his Art ; Chance finisht that which Art could but begin , And he sat smiling how his Dog did grinn . So may'st thou perfect , by a lucky blow , What all thy softest touches cannot do . Paint then St. A — s full of soup and gold , The new Courts pattern , Stallion of the old . Him neither Wit nor Courage did exalt , But Fortune chose him for her pleasure salt . Paint him with Drayman's Shoulders , butchers Mien , Member'd like Mules , with Elephantine chine . Well he the Title of St. A — s bore , For never Bacon study'd Nature more . But Age , allaying now that youthful heat , Fits him in France to play at Cards and treat . Draw no Commission lest the Court should lye , That , disavowing Treaty , ask supply . He needs no Seal , but to St. James's lease , Whose Breeches were the Instrument of Peace . Who , if the French dispute his Pow'r , from thence Can straight produce them a Plenipotence . Nor fears he the most Christian should trepan Two Saints at once , St. G — n , St. A — n. But thought the Golden Age was now restor'd , When Men and Women took each others Word . Paint then again Her H — ss to the life , Philosopher beyond Newcastle's Wife . She , nak'd , can Archimedes self put down , For an Experiment upon the Crown . She perfected that Engine , oft assay'd , How after Childbirth to renew a Maid . And found how Royal Heirs might be matur'd , In sewer months than Mothers once indur'd . Hence C — r made the rare Inventress free , Of 's H — s Royal Society . Happy'st of Women , if she were but able To make her glassen D — s once malleable ! Paint her with Oyster Lip , and breath of Fame , Wide Mouth that Sparagus may well proclaim : With Chanc'lor's Belly , and so large a Rump . There , not behind the Coach , her Pages jump . Express her studying now , if China-clay , Can without breaking venom'd juice convey . Or how a mortal Poyson she may draw , Out of the cordial meal of the Cacao . Witness ye stars of Night , and thou the pale Moon , that o'rcome with the sick steam did'st fail ; Ye neighb'ring Elms , that your green leaves did she And Fawns , that from the womb abortive fled . Not unprovok'd she trys forbidden Arts , But in her soft Breast Loves hid Cancer smarts . While she revolves , at once , Sidney's disgrace , And her self scorn'd sor emulous Denham's Face ; And nightly hears the hated Guards away Galloping with the Duke to other Prey . Paint C — in Colours that will hold , Her , not her Picture , for she now grows old . She through her Lacquies Drawers as he ran , Discern'd Love's Cause , and a new Flame began . Her wonted joys thenceforth and Court she shuns , And still within her mind the Footman runs : His brazen Calves , his brawny Thighs , ( the Face She slights ) his Feet shapt for a smoother race . Poring within her Glass she re-adjusts Her looks , and oft-try'd Beauty now distrusts : Fears lest he scorn a Woman once assay'd , And now first , wisht she e're had been a Maid . Great Love , how dost thou triumph , and how reign , That to a Groom couldst humble her disdain ! Stript to her Skin , see how she stooping stands , Nor scorns to rub him down with those fair Hands ; And washing ( lest the scent her Crime disclose ) His sweaty Hooves , tickles him 'twixt the Toes . But envious Fame , too soon , begun to note More gold in 's Fob , more Lace upon his Coat : And he , unwary , and of Tongue too fleet , No longer could conceal his Fortune sweet . Justly the Rogue was whipt in Porter's Den : And J — n straight has leave to come agen . Ah Painter , now could Alexander live , And this Campaspe thee Apelles give ! Draw next a Pair of Tables op'ning , then The House of Commons clatt'ring like the Men. Describe the Court and Country , both set right , On opposite points , the black against the white . Those having lost the Nation at Trick track , These now advent'ring how to win it back . The Dice betwixt them must the Fate divide , As Chance does still in Multitudes decide . But here the Court does its advantage know , For the Cheat T — for them both must throw . As some from Boxes , he so from the Chair Can strike the Die , and still with them goes share . Here Painter rest a little , and survey With what small Arts the publick game they play . For so too Rubens , with affairs of State , His lab'ring Pencil oft would recreate . The close Cabal mark'd how the Navy eats , And thought all lost that goes not to the Cheats : So therefore secretly for Peace decrees , Yet as for War the Parliament should squeeze ; And fix to the Revenne such a Summ , Should G — k silence , and strike P — n dumb ; Should pay Land Armies , should dissolve the vain Commons , and ever such a Court maintain , H — 's Avarice , B — 's Luxury should suffice , And what can these defray but the Excise ? Excise , a Monster worse than e're before Frighted the Midwife , and the Mother tore . A thousand Hands she has and thousand Eyes , Breaks into Shops , and into Cellars prys . With hundred rows of Teeth the Shark exceeds , And on all Trade like Casawar she feeds : Chops off the piece where e're she close the Jaw , Else swallows all down her indented maw . She stalks all day in Streets conceal'd from sight , And flies like Batts with leathern Wings by Night . She wastes the Country and on Cities preys . Her , of a female Harpy , in Dog Days : Black B — b , of all the Earth-born race most hot , And most rapacious , like himself begot . And , of his Brat enamour'd , as 't increast , Bugger'd in Incest with the mungrel Beast . Say Muse , for nothing can escape thy sight , ( And Painter , wanting other , draw this Fight . ) Who , in an English Senate , fierce debate , Could raise so long for this new Whore of State. Of early Wittals first the Troop march'd in , For Diligence renown'd , and Discipline : In Loyal haste they lest young Wives in Bed , And D — m these by one consent did head . Of the old Courtiers next a Squadron came , That sold their Master , led by A — m. To them succeeds a despicable Rout , But knew the Word and well could face about ; Expectants pale , with hopes of spoil allur'd , Thought yet but Pioneers , and led by S — d. Then damming Cowards rang'd the vocal Plain , W — d these commands , Knight of the Horn and Cane . Still his Hook-shoulder seems the blow to dread , And under 's Armpit he desends his Head. The posture strange men laught at of his Poll , Hid with his Elbow like the Spice he stole . Headless St. Dennis so his Head does bear ; And both of them alike French Martyrs were . Court-Officers , as us'd , the next place took , And follow'd F — x , but with disdainful look . His Birth , his Youth , his Brokage all dispraise , In vain , for always he commands that pays . Then the Procurers under P — s fil'd , Gentlest of men , and his Lieutenant mild . B — d Loves Squire ; through all the field array'd , No Troop was better clad nor so well pay'd . Then march't the Troop of C — n , all full , Haters of Fowl , to Teal preserring Bull. Gross Bodies , grosser Minds , and grossest Cheats ; And bloated W — n conducts them to their seats . C — n advances next , whose Coife dos awe The Miter Troop , and with his looks gives Law. He March'd with Beaver cock'd of Bishop's brim , And hid much Fraud under an aspect grim . Next th' Lawyers Mercenary Band appear : F — h , in the Front , and T — d in the Rear . The Troop of Priviledge , a Rubble bare Of Debtors deep , fell to Trelawny's Care. Their Fortune's error they supply'd in rage , Nor any further would then these ingage . Then marcht the Troop , whose valiant Acts before , ( Their publick Acts ) oblig'd them still to more . For Chimney's sake they all Sir P — obey'd ? Or in his absence him that first it lay'd . Then comes the thrifty Troop of Privateers , Whose Horses each with other enterfeers . Before them H — s rides with brow compact , Mourning his Countess , anxious for his Act. Sir Fredrick and Sir Salomon draw Lotts For the command of Politicks or Sotts . Thence fell to Words , but , quarrel to adjourn , Their Friends agreed they should command by turn . C — t the rich did the Accomptants guide , And in ill English all the World defy'd . The Papists , but of those the House had none : Else T — t offer'd to have led them on . Bold D — e next , of the Projectors chief : And old F — g of the Eaters Beef . Late and disorder'd out the Drinkers drew : Scarce them their Leaders , they their Leaders knew . Before them enter'd , equal in Command , A — v and B — k , marching hand in hand . Last then but one , P — ll , that could not ride , Led the French Standard , weltring in his stride , He , to excuse his slowness , truth confest That 't was so long before he could be drest . The Lords Sons , last , all these did reinforce : C — y before them manag'd Hobby-horse . Never , before nor since , an Host so steel'd Troop't on to muster in the Tuttle-field . Not the first Cock-horse , that with Cork were shod To rescue Albemarle from the Sea-Cod : Nor the late Feather-men , whom T — s fierce Shall with one Breath like thistle-down disperse . All the two C — ys their Gen'rals chose : For one had much , the other nought to lose . Nor better choice all accidents could hit ; While Hector Harry steers by Will the Wit : They both acccpt the Charge with merry glee , To fight a Battel , from all Gun-shot free . Pleas'd with their Numbers , yet in Valour wise , They feign a parly , better to furprize : They , that e're long shall the rude Dutch upbraid , Who in a time of Treaty durst invade . Thick was the Morning , and the House was thin , The Speaker early , when they all fell in . Propitious Heavens , had not you them crost , Excise had got the day , and all been lost . For th' other side all in loose Quarters lay , Without Intelligence , Command , or Pay : A scatter'd Body , which the Foe ne'r try'd , But oftner did among themselves divide . And some ran o're each night while others sleep , And undescry'd return'd e're morning peep . But S — s , that all Night still walk'd the round , ( For Vigilance and Courage both renown'd ) First spy'd the Enemy and gave th' Alarm : Fighting it single till the rest might arm . Such Roman Cocles strid : before the Foe , The falling Bridge behind , the Stream below . Each ran , as chance him guides , to sev'ral Post : And all to pattern his Example boast . Their former Trophees they recal to mind , And to new edge their angry Courage grind . First enter'd forward T — e , Conqueror Of Irish-Cattel and Sollicitor . Then daring S — r , that with Spear and Shield , Had strecht the monster Patent on the Field . Keen W — d next , in aid of Damsel frail , That pierc't the Gyant M — t through his Mail. And surly W — s , the Accomptants bane : And L — e young , of Chimney-men the Cane . Old W — r , Trumpet-gen'ral swore he 'd write This Combat truer than the Naval Fight . Of Birth , State , Wit , Strength , Courage , H — d presumes , And in his Breast wears many Montezumes . These and some more with single Valour stay The adverse Troops , and hold them all at Bay. Each thinks his Person represents the whole , And with that thought does multiply his Soul : Believes himself an Army , there 's one Man , As eas'ly Conquer'd , and believing can . With Heart of Bees so full , and Head of Mites , That each , tho' Duelling , a Battel fights . Such once Orlando , famous in Romance , Broach'd whole Brigades like Larks upon his Lance. But strength at last still under number bows , And the faint sweat trickled down T — s Brows . Ev'n Iron S — s , chafing yet gave back , Spent with fatigue , to breath a while To back . When , marching in , a seas'nable recruit Of Citizens and Merchants held dispute : And , charging all their Pikes , a sullen Band Of Presbyterian Switzers , made a stand . Nor could all these the Field have long maintain'd , But for th' unknown Reserve that still remain'd : A Gross of English Gentry , nobly born , Of clear Estates , and to no Faction sworn ; Dear Lovers of their King , and Death to meet , For Countrys Cause , that Glorious think and sweet : To speak not forward , but in Action brave ; In giving Gen'rous , but in Counsel Grave ; Candidly credulous for once , nay twice ; But sure the Devil cannot cheat them thrice . The Van and Battel , though retiring , falls Without disorder in their Intervals : Then closing , all in equal Front fall on , Led by great G — y , and great L — n. L — e , equal to obey or to command , Adjutant-General was still at hand . The martial Standard S — s displaying , shows St. Dunstan in it , tweaking Satan's Nose . See sudden chance of War ! To Paint or Write , Is longer Work , and harder than to fight . At the first Charge the Enemy give out ; And the Excise receives a total Rout. Broken in Courage , yet the Men the same , Resolve henceforth upon their other Game : Where force had fail'd with Stratagem to play , And what haste lost , recover by delay . St. A — s straight is sent to , to forbear , Lest the sure Peace , forsooth , too soon appear . The Seamens Clamour to three ends they use ; To cheat their Pay , feign want , the House accuse . Each day they bring the Tale , and that too true , How strong the Dutch their Equipage renew . Mean time through all the Yards their Orders run To lay the Ships up , cease the Keels begun . The Timber rots , and useless Ax does rust , The unpractis'd Saw lyes bury'd in its Dust ; The busie Hammer sleeps , the Rope untwines ; The Stores and Wages all are mine and thine . Along the Coast and Harbours they take care That Money lack , nor Forts be in repair . Long thus they could against the House conspire , Load them with Envy , and with Sitting tire : And the lov'd King , and never yet deny'd , Is brought to beg in publick and to chide . But when this fail'd , and Months enough were spent , They with the first days proffer seem content : And to Land-tax from the Excise turn round , Bought off with Eighteen hundred thousand pound . Thus , like fair Thieves , the Commons Purse they share , But all the Members Lives , consulting , spare . Blither than Hare that hath escap'd the Hounds , The House Prorogu'd , the Chancellor rebounds . Not so decrepid Aeson , hash'd and stew'd With Magic Herbs , rose from the Pot renew'd : And with fresh Age felt his glad Limbs unite ; His Gout ( yet still he curst ) had left him quite : What Frosts to Fruit , what Ars'nick to the Rat , What to fair D — mortal Chocolat ; What an Account to C — t ; that and more A Parliament is to the Chancellor . So the sad Tree shrinks from the Mornings Eye ; But blooms all Night , and shoots its branches high . So , at the Suns recess , again returns , The Comet dread , and Earth and Heaven burns . Now M — t may , within his Castle Tow'r , Imprison Parents , and the Child deflowre . The Irish-Herd is now let loose , and comes By Millions over , not by Hecatombs . And now , now , the Canary-Patent may Be Broach'd again , for the great Holy-day . See how he Reigns in his new Palace culminant , And sits in State Divine like Jove the fulminant ! First B — m , that durst to him Rebel , Blasted with Lightning , struck with Thunder fell . Next the TwelveCommons are condemn'd to groan , And roul in vain at Sisyphus's Stone . But still he car'd , while in Revenge he brav'd , That Peace secur'd , and Money might be sav'd . Gain and Revenge , Revenge and Gain are sweet : United most , else when by turns they meet . France had St. A — s promis'd ( so they sing ) St. A — s promis'd him , and he the King. The Count forthwith is order'd all to close , To play for Flanders , and the stake to lose . While Chain'd together two Ambassadors Like Slaves , shall beg for Peace at Hollands doors . This done , among his Cyclops he retires , To forge new Thunder , and inspect their Fires . The Court , as once of War , now fond of Peace , All to new Sports their wanton fears release . From Greenwich ( where Intelligence they hold ) Comes news of Pastime , Martial and old : A Punishment invented first to awe Masculine Wives , transgressing Natures Law. Where when the brawny Female disobeys , And beats the Husband till for peace he prays : No concern'd Jury for him Damage finds , Nor partial Justice her Behaviour binds ; But the just Street does the next House invade , Mounting the neighbour Couple on lean Jade . The Distaff knocks , the Grains from Kettle fly , And Boys and Girls in Troops run houting by ; Prudent Antiquity , that knew by Shame , Better than Law , Domestick Crimes to tame , And taught Youth by Spectacle Innocent ! So thou and I , dear Painter , represent In quick Effigy , others Faults , and feign By making them ridiculous to restrain . With homely sight , they chose thus to relax The Joys of State , for the new Peace and Tax . So Holland with us had the Mast'ry try'd , And our next neighbours France and Flanders ride . But a fresh News , the great designment nips , Off , at the Isle of Candy , Dutch and Ships . Bab May and A — n did wisely scoff , And thought all safe if they were so far off . Modern Geographers , `twas there they thought , Where Venice twenty years the Turk had fought : While the first year our Navy is but shown , The next divided , and the third we 've none . They , by the Name , mistook it for that Isle , Where Pilgrim Palmer travell'd in Exile , With the Bulls Horn to measure his own Head , And on Pasiphae's Tomb to drop a Bead. But M — e learn'd demonstrates , by the Post , This Isle of Candy was on Essex Coast. Fresh Messengers still the sad News assure , More tim'rous now we are , than first secure . False Terrors our believing Fears devise : And the French Army one from Calais spies . B — t and M — y , and those of shorter reach , Change all for Guinea's , and a Crown for each : But wiser Men , and well foreseen in chance , In Holland theirs had lodg'd before , and France . White-hall's unsafe , the Court all meditates To fly to Windsor , and mure up the Gates . Each does the other blame , and all distrust ; But M — t new oblig'd , would sure be just . Not such a fatal stupefaction reign'd At London's Flame , nor to the Court complain'd . The Bloodworth-C — r gives , then does recal Orders , amaz'd at last gives none at all . St. A — s writ to that he may bewail To Master Lewis , and tell Coward tale , How yet the Hollanders do make a noise , Threaten to beat us , and are naughty Boys . Now Doleman's disobedient , and they still Uncivil : His unkindness would us kill . Tell him our Ships unrigg'd , our Forts unman'd , Our Money spent ; else 't were at his command . Summon him therefore of his Word , and prove To move him out of Pity , if not Love. Pray him to make De-Witte , and Ruyter cease , And whip the Dutch , unless they 'l hold their peace . But Lewis was of Memory but dull , And to St. A — ● too undutiful ; Nor Word , nor near Relation did revere ; But ask'd him bluntly for his Character . The gravell'd Count did with the Answer faint : ( His Character was that which thou didst paint ) And so enforc'd , like Enemy or Spy , Trusses his baggage , and the Camp does fly . Yet Lewis writes , and lest our Hearts should break , Consoles us morally out of Seneque . Two Letters next unto Breda are sent , In Cipher one to Harry Excellent . The first instructs our ( Verse the Name abhors ) Plenipotentiary Ambassadors , To prove by Scripture , Treaty does imply Cessation , as the look Adultery . And that by Law of Arms , in Martial strife , Who yields his Sword has Title to his Life . Presbyter H — s the first point should clear ; The second C — y the Cavalier . But , would they not be argu'd back from Sea , Then to return home straight infecta re . But Harry's Order , if they won't recal Their Fleet , to threaten , we will give them all . The Dutch are then in Proclamation shent , For Sin against th' Eleventh Commandment . H — s flippant Stile there pleasantly curvets ; Still his sharp Wit on States and Princes whets . ( So Spain could not escape his Laughters Spleen : None but himself must chuse the King a Queen . ) But when he came the odious Clause to Pen , That summons up the Parliament agen ; His Writing-Master many a time he bann'd , And wish'd himself the Gout , to seize his hand . Never old Letcher more repugnance felt , Consenting , for his Rupture , to be Gelt ; But still in hope he solac'd , e're they come , To work the Peace , and so to send them home . Or in their hasty Call to find a flaw , Their Acts to vitiate , and them over-awe . But most rely'd upon this Dutch pretence , To raise a two-edg'd Army for 's defence . First , then he march'd our whole Militia's force , ( As if , alas , we Ships or Dutch had Horse . ) Then , from the usual Common-place , he blames These ; and in Standing-Armies praise declaims . And the wise Court , that always lov'd it dear , Now thinks all but too little for their Fear . H — e stamps , and straight upon the ground the swarms Of current Myrmidons appear in Arms. And for their Pay he writes as from the King , With that curs'd Quill pluck'd from a Vulture's Wing : Of the whole Nation now to ask a Loan . ( The Eighteen hundred thousand pound was gone . ) This done , he Pens a Proclamation stout , In rescue of the Banquiers Banquerout : His minion Imps that , in his secret part , Lye nuzz'ling at the Sacramental wart ; Horse-leeches circling at the Hem'roid Vein ; He sucks the King , they him , he them again . The Kingdoms Farm he lets to them bid least : Greater the Bribe , and that 's at Interest . Here Men induc'd by Safety , Gain , and Ease , Their Money lodge ; confiscate when he please . These can , at need , at instant , with a scrip , ( This lik'd him best ) his Cash beyond Sea whip . When Dutch Invade , when Parliament prepare , How can he Engines so convenient spare ? Let no Man touch them , or demand his own , Pain of Displeasure of great C — n. The State Affairs thus Marshall'd , for the rest Monk in his Shirt against the Dutch is prest . Often , dear Painter , have I sate and mus'd Why he should still b'on all adventures us'd . If they for nothing ill , like Ashen-wood , Or think him , like Herb-John , for nothing good . Whether his Valour they so much admire , Or that for Cowardice they all retire . As Heav'n in Storms , they call , in gusts of State , On Monk and Parliament , yet both do hate . All Causes sure concur , but most they think Under Herculean Labours he may sink . Soon then the Independent Troops would close , And H — 's last Project would his Place dispose . Ruyter the while , that had our Ocean curb'd , Sail'd now among our Rivers undisturb'd : Survey'd their Crystal Streams , and Banks so green , And Beauties e're this never naked seen . Through the vain sedge the bashful Nymphs he ey'd ; Bosomes , and all which from themselves they hide . The Sun much brighter , and the Skies more clear , He finds the Air , and all things , sweeter here . The sudden change , and such a tempting sight , Swells his old Veins with sresh Blood , fresh Delight . Like am'rous Victors he begins to shave , And his new Face looks in the English Wave . His sporting Navy all about him swim , And witness their complaisence in their trim . Their streaming Silks play through the weather fair , And with inveigling Colours Court the Air. While the red Flags breath on their Top-masts high Terrour and War , but want an Enemy . Among the Shrowds the Seamen sit and sing , And wanton Boys on every Rope do cling . Old Neptune springs the Tydes , and Water lent : ( The Gods themselves do help the provident . ) And , where the deep Keel on the shallow cleaves , With Trident's Leaver , and great Shoulder heaves . Aeolus their Sails inspires with Eastern Wind , Puffs them along , and breathes upon them kind . With Pearly Shell the Tritons all the while Sound the Sea-march , and guide to Sheppy Isle . So have I seen in April's bud , arise A Fleet of Clouds , sailing along the Skies : The liquid Region with their Squadrons fill'd , The airy Sterns the Sun behind does guild ; And gentle Gales them steer , and Heaven drives , When , all on sudden , their calm bosome rives With Thunder and Lightning from each armed Cloud ; Shepherds themselves in vain in bushes shrowd . Such up the stream the Belgick Navy glides , And at Sheerness unloads its stormy sides . S — g there , tho practic'd in the Sea command , With panting Heart , lay like a fish on Land , And quickly judg'd the Fort was not tenable , Which , if a House , yet were not tenantable . No man can sit there safe , the Cannon pow'rs Through the Walls untight , and Bullet show'rs : The neighbr'hood ill , and an unwholsome seat . So at the first Salute resolves Retreat , And swore that he would never more dwell there Until the City put it in repair . So he in Front , his Garrison in Rear , March straight to Chatham , to increase the fear . There our sick Ships unrigg'd in Summer lay , Like molting Fowl , a weak and easie Prey . For whose strong bulk Earth scarce could Timber sind , The Ocean Water , or the Heavens Wind. Those Oaken Gyants of the ancient Race , That rul'd all Seas , and did our Channel grace . The conscious Stag , so once the Forests dread , Flies to the Wood , and hides his armless Head. Ruyter forthwith a Squadron does untack , They sail securely through the Rivers track . An English Pilot too , ( O Shame , O Sin ! ) Cheated of Pay , was he that show'd them in . Our wretched Ships within their Fate attend , And all our hopes now on frail Chain depend : Engine so slight to guard us from the Sea , It sitter seem'd to captivate a Flea . A Skipper rude shocks it without respect , Filling his Sails , more force to recollect . Th' English from shore the Iron deaf invoke For its last aid : Hold Chain or we are broke . But with her Sailing weight , the Holland Keel Snapping the brittle links , does thorow reel ; And to the rest the open'd passage shew . Monk from the bank the dismal sight does view . Our feather'd Gallants , which came down that day To be Spectators safe of the new Play , Leave him alone when first they hear the Gun ; ( C — y the fleetest ) and to London run . Our Seamen , whom no Dangers shape could fright , Unpaid , refuse to mount our Ships for spight : Or to their fellows swim on board the Dutch , Which show the tempting metal in their clutch . Oft had he sent , of D — e and of L — g Cannon and Powder , but in vain , to beg : And Vpnor-Castle's ill-deserted Wall , Now needful , does for Ammunition call . He finds wheresoe're he succour might expect ; Confusion , folly , treach'ry , fear , neglect . But when the Royal Charles , what Rage , what Grief , He saw seiz'd , and could give her no Relief ! That sacred Keel , which had , as he , restor'd His exil'd Sov'raign on its happy Board ; And thence the Brittish Admiral became ; Crown'd , for that Merit , with their Masters Name That Pleasure-boat of VVar , in whose dear side Secure so oft he had this Foe desy'd : Now a cheap spoil , and the mean Victor's Slave , Taught the Dutch Colours from its top to wave ; Of former Glories the reproachful thought , With present shame compar'd , his mind distraught . Such from Euphrates bank , a Tygress fell , After the Robbers , for her Whelps does yell : But sees , inrag'd , the River flow between . Frustrate Revenge , and Love , by loss more keen , At her own Breast her useless claws does arm ; She tears herself since him she cannot harm . The Guards , plac'd for the Chains and Fleets defence , Long since were sled on many a feign'd pretence . Daniel had there adventur'd , Man of might ; Sweet Painter draw his Picture while I write . Paint him of Person tall , and big of bone , Large Limbs , like Ox , not to be kill'd but shown . Scarce can burnt Iv'ry feign an Hair so black , Or Face so rod thine Oker and thy Lack. Mix a vain Terrour in his Martial look , And all those lines by which men are mistook . But when , by shame constrain'd to go on Board , He heard how the wild Cannon nearer roar'd ; And saw himself confin'd , like Sheep in Pen ; Daniel then thought he was in Lyons Den. But when the srightful Fire-ships he saw , Pregnant with Sulphur , to him nearer draw Captain , Lieutenant , Ensign , all make haste , E're in the Firy Furnace they be cast . Three Children tall , unsing'd , away they row , Like Shadrack , Mesheck , and Abednego . Not so brave Douglas ; on whose lovely chin The early Down but newly did begin ; And modest Beauty yet his Sex did Veil , While envious Virgins hope he is a Male. His yellow Locks curl back themselves to seek , Nor other Courtship knew but to his Cheek . Oft has he in chill Eske or Seine , by night , Harden'd and cool'd his Limbs , so soft , so white , Among the Reeds , to be espy'd by him , The Nymphs would rustle ; he would forward swim . They sigh'd and said , Fond Boy , why so untame , That fly'st Love Fires , reserv'd for other Flame ? Fixt on his Ship , he fac'd that horrid Day , And wondred much at those that run away : Nor other fear himself could comprehend , Then , lest Heav'n fall , e're thither he ascend . But entertains , the while , his time too short With birding at the Dutch , as if in sport : Or Waves his Sword , and could he them conjure VVithin its circle , knows himself secure . The fatal Bark him boards with grappling fire , And safely through its Port the Dutch retire : That precious life he yet disdains to save , Or with known Art to try the gentle Wave . Much him the Honours of his ancient Race Inspire , nor would he his own deeds deface . And secret Joy , in his calm Soul does rise , That Monk looks on to see how Douglas dies . Like a glad Lover , the fierce Flames he meets , And tries his first embraces in their Sheets . His shape exact , which the bright flames infold , Like the Sun's Statue stands of burnish'd Gold. Round the transparent Fire about him glows , As the clear Amber on the Bee does close : And , as on Angels Heads their Glories shine , His burning Locks adorn his Face Divine . But , when in his immortal Mind he felt His alt'ring Form , and soder'd Limbs to melt ; Down on the Deck he laid himself , and dy'd , With his dear Sword reposing by his Side . And , on the flaming Plank , so rests his Head , As one that 's warm'd himself and gone to Bed. His Ship burns down , and with his Relicks sinks , And the sad Stream beneath his Ashes drinks . Fortunate Boy ! if either Pencil's Fame , Or if my Verse can propagate thy Name ; When Oeta and Alcides are forgot , Our English youth shall sing the Valiant Scot. Each doleful day still with fresh loss returns ; The Loyal-London , now a third time burns . And the true Royal-Oak , and Royal-James , Ally'd in Fate , increase , with theirs , her Flames . Of all our Navy none should now survive , But that the Ships themselves were taught to dive : And the kind River in its Creek them hides , Fraughting their pierced Keels with Oosy Tides . Up to the Bridge contagious Terrour strook : The Tow'r it self with the near danger shook . And were not Ruyters maw with ravage cloy'd , Ev'n London's Ashes had been then destroy'd . Officious fear , however , to prevent Our loss , does so much more our loss augment : The Dutch had robb'd those Jewels of the Crown : Our Merchant-men , lest they should burn , we drown . So when the Fire did not enough devour , The Houses were demolish'd near the Tow'r . Those Ships , that yearly from their teeming Howl , Unloaded here the Birth of either Pole ; Furrs from the North , and Silver from the West , From the South Perfumes , Spices from the East ; From Gambo Gold , and from the Ganges Gems ; Take a short Voyage underneath the Thames . Once a deep River , now with Timber floor'd , And shrunk , lest Navigable , to a Ford. Now ( nothing more at Chatham left to burn ) The Holland Squadron leisurely return : And spight of Ruperts and of Albemarles , To Ruyter's Triumph lead the captive Charles . The pleasing sight he often does prolong : Her Masts erect , tough Cordage , Timbers strong , Her moving Shape ; all these he does survey , And all admires , but most his easie Prey . The Seamen search her all , within , without : Viewing her strength , they yet their Conquest doubt . Then with rude shouts , secure , the Air they vex ; With Gamesome Joy insulting on her Decks . Such the fear'd Hebrew , captive , blinded , shorn , Was led about in sport , the publick scorn . Black Day accurs'd ! On thee let no man hale Out of the Port , or dare to hoise a Sail , Or row a Boat in thy unlucky hour : Thee , the Year's monster , let thy Dam devour . And constant Time , to keep his course yet right , Fill up thy space with a redoubled Night . When aged Thames was bound with Fetters base , And Medway chast ravish'd before his Face , And their dear Off-spring murder'd in their sight ; Thou , and thy Fellows , held'st the odious Light. Sad change , since first that happy pair was wed , When all the Rivers grac'd their Nuptial Bed ; And Father Neptune promis'd to resign His Empire old , to their immortal Line ! Now with vain grief their vainer hopes they rue , Themselves dishonour'd , and the Gods untrue : And to each other helpless couple moan , As the sad Tortoise for the Sea does groan . But most they for their Darling Charles complain : And were it burnt , yet less would be their pain . To see that fatal Pledge of Sea-Command , Now in the Ravisher De-Ruyter's hand , The Thames roar'd , swouning Medway turn'd her tide , And were they mortal , both for grief had dy'd . The Court in Farthing yet it self does please , And female S — t , there , Rules the four Seas . But Fate does still accumulate our Woes , And Richmond here commands , as Ruyter those . After this loss , to rellish discontent , Some one must be accus'd by Punishment . All our miscarriages on Pett must fall : His Name alone seems fit to answer all . Whose Counsel first did this mad War beget ? Who all Commands sold thro' the Navy ? Pett . Who would not follow when the Dutch were bet ? Who treated out the time at Bergen ? Pett . Who the Dutch Fleet with Storms disabled met , And rifling Prizes , them neglected ? Pett . Who with false News prevented the Gazette ? The Fleet divided ? Writ for Rupert ? Pett . Who all our Seamen cheated of their Debt ? And all our Prizes who did swallow ? Pett . Who did advise no Navy out to set ? And who the Forts left unrepair'd ? Pett . VVho to supply with Powder , did forget Languard , Sheerness , Gravesend , and Vpnor ? Pett . VVho all our Ships expos'd in Chathams Net ? VVho should it be but the Phanatick Pett . Pett , the Sea Architect , in making Ships , Was the first cause of all these Naval ships : Had he not built , none of these faults had bin ; If no Creation , there had been no Sin. But , his great Crime , one Boat away he sent ; That lost our Fleet , and did our Flight prevent . Then that Reward might in its turn take place , And march with Punishment in equal pace ; S — n dead , much of the Treasure`s care , And place in Counsel fell to D — s share . All men admir'd he to that pitch could fly : Powder ne're blew man up so soon so high . But sure his late good Husbandry in Peeter , Show'd him to manage the Exchequer meeter : And who the Forts would not vouchsafe a corn , To lavish the King's Money more would scorn . Who hath no Chimneys , to give all is best , And ablest Speaker , who of Law has least ; Who less Estate , for Treasurer most fit ; And for a Couns'llor , he that has least Wit. But the true cause was , that , in 's Brother May , The Exchequer might the Privy-purse obey . But now draws near the Parliament's return ; H — e and the Court again begin to mourn . Frequent in Counsel , earnest in Debate , All Arts they try how to prolong its Date . Grave Primate S — n ( much in Preaching there ) Blames the last Session , and this more does fear . With B — n or with M — n 't were sweet ; But with a Parliament abhors to meet , And thinks 't will ne're be well within this Nation , Till it be govern'd by a Convocation . But in the Thames mouth still Ruyter laid , The Peace not sure , new Army must be paid . H — e saith he hourly waits for a Dispatch ; H — y came Post just as he shew'd his Watch. All to agree the Articles were clear , The Holland Fleet and Parliament so near . Yet Harry must job back and all mature , Binding , e're th' Houses meet , the Treaty sure . And 'twixt Necessity and Spight , till then , Let them come up so to go down agen . Up ambles Country Justice on his Pad , And Vest bespeaks to be more seemly clad . Plain Gentlemen are in Stage-Coach o'rethrown , And Deputy-Lieutenants in their own . The portly Burgess , through the Weather hot , Does for his Corporation sweat and trot . And all with Sun and Choler come adust ; And threatens H — e to raise a greater Dust. But , fresh as from the Mint , the Courtiers fine Salute them , smiling at their vain design . And T — r gay up to his Pearch does march , With Face new bleacht , smoothen'd and stiff with starch . Tells them he at Whitehall had took a turn , And for three days , thence moves them to adjourn . Not so , quoth T — s ; and straight drew his Tongue , Trusty as Steel , that always ready hung ; And so , proceeding in his motion warm , Th' Army soon rais'd , he doth as soon disarm . True Trojan ! while this Town can Girls afford , And long as Cider lasts in Hereford ; The Girls shall always kiss thee , though grown old , And in eternal Healths thy Name be trowl'd . Mean while the certain News of Peace arrives At Court , and so reprieves their guilty Lives . H — e orders T — r that he should come late , Lest some new T — s spring a fresh debate . The King , that day rais'd early from his rest , Expects as at a Play till T — s drest . At last together E — n come and he : No Dial more could with the Sun agree . The Speaker , Summon'd , to the Lords repairs , Nor gave the Commons leave to say their Pray'rs : But like his Pris'ners to the Bar them led , VVhere mute they stand to hear their Sentence read ; Trembling with joy and fear , H — e them Prorogues , And had almost mistook and call'd them Rogues . Dear Painter , draw this Speaker to the foot : Where Pencil cannot , there my Pen shall do 't ; That may his Body , this his Mind explain . Paint him in Golden Gown , with Mace's Brain : Bright Hair , fair Pace , obscure and dull of Head ; Like Knife with Iv'ry haft , and edge of Lead . At Pray'rs , his Eyes turn up the Pious white , But all the while his Private-Bill's in sight . In Chair , he smoaking sits like Master-Cook , And a Poll-Bill does like his Apron look . Well was he skill'd to season any question , And make a sawce fit for VVhitehall's digestion : VVhence ev'ry day , the Palat more to tickle ; Court-mushrumps ready are sent in in pickle . VVhen Grievance urg'd , he swells like squatted Toad , Frisks like a Frog to croak a Taxes load . His patient Piss , he could hold longer than An Urinal , and sit like any Hen. At Table , jolly as a Country-Host , And soaks his Sack with N — k like a Toast . At night , than Canticleer more brisk and hot , And Serjeants VVife serves him for P — tt . Paint last the King , and a dead shade of Night , Only dispers'd by a weak Tapers light ; And those bright gleams that dart along and glare From his clear Eyes , yet these too dark with Care. There , as in the calm horrour all alone , He wakes and Muses of th' uneasie Throne : Raise up a sudden Shape with Virgins Face , Though ill agree her Posture , Hour , or Place Naked as born , and her round Arms behind , VVith her own Tresses interwove and twin'd : Her mouth lockt up , a blind before her Eyes , Yet from beneath the Veil her blushes rise ; And silent tears her secret anguish speak , Her heart throbs , and with very shame would break . The Object strange in him no Terrour mov'd : He wonder'd first , then pity'd , then he lov'd : And with kind hand does the coy Vision press , VVhose Beauty greater seem'd by her distress ; But soon shrunk back , chill'd with her touch so cold , And th' airy Picture vanisht from his hold . In his deep thoughts the wonder did increase , And he Divin'd 't was England or the Peace . Express him startling next with listning ear , As one that some unusual noise does hear . With Canon , Trumpets , Drums , his door surround , But let some other Painter draw the sound : Thrice did he rise , thrice the vain Tumult led , But again thunders when he lyes in Bed ; His mind secure does the known stroke repeat , And finds the Drums Lewis's March did beat . Shake then the room , and all his Curtains tear , And with blue streaks infect the Taper clear : While , the pale Ghosts , his Eye does fixt admire Of Grandsire H — y , and of C — s his Sire . H — y sits down , and in his open side The grizly Wound reveals , of which he dy'd . And ghastly C — s , turning his Collar low , The purple thread about his Neck does show : Then , whisp'ring to his Son in Words unheard , Through the lock'd door both of them disappear'd . The wondrous Night the pensive King revolves , And rising , straight on H — 's Disgrace resolves . At his first step , he C — n does find , B — t and C — y , as 't were design'd . And they , not knowing , the same thing propose , Which his hid mind did in its depths inclose . Through their feign'd speech their secret hearts he knew ; To her own Husband , C — n , untrue . False to his Master B — l , A — n , And C — y , falser than any one , Who to the Brother , Brother would betray ; Nor therefore trusts himself to such as they . His Fathers Ghost too whisper'd him one Note , That who does cut his Purse will cut his Throat . But in wise anger he their Crimes sorbears , As Thieves repriev'd for Executioners ; While H — e provok'd his foaming tusk does whet , To prove them Traytors , and himself the Pett . Painter adieu , how will our Arts agree ; Poetick Picture , Painted Poetry . But this great work is for our Monarch fit , And henceforth C — s only to C — s shall sit . His Master-hand the Ancients shall out-do : Himself the Poet and the Painter too . To the KING . SO his bold Tube , Man , to the Sun apply'd , And Spots unknown to the bright Star descry'd ; Show'd they obscure him , while too near they please , And seem his Courtiers , are but his disease . Through Optick Trunk the Planet seem'd to hear , And hurls them off , e're since , in his Career . And you , Great Sir , that with him Empire share , Sun of our World , as he the Charles is there . Blame not the Muse that brought those spots to sight , Which , in your Splendor hid , Corrode your Light ; Kings in the Country oft have gone astray , Nor of a Peasant scorn'd to learn the way . Would she the unattended Throne reduce , Banishing Love , Trust , Ornament and Use ; Better it were to live in Cloysters Lock , Or in fair Fields to rule the easie Flock . She blames them only who the Court restrain , And , where all England serves , themselves would reign . Bold and accurs'd are they , that all this while Have strove to Isle the Monarch from his Isle : And to improve themselves , on false pretence , About the Common Prince have rais'd a Fence ; The Kingdom from the Crown distinct would see , And peal the Bark to burn at last the Tree . ( But Ceres Corn , and Flora is the Spring , Bacchus is Wine , the Country is the King. ) Not so does Rust insinuating wear , Nor Powder so the vaulted Bastion tear ; Nor Earthquake so an hollow Isle overwhelm , As scratching Courtiers undermine a Realm : And through the Palace's Foundations bore , Burr'wing themselves to hoard their guilty Store . The smallest Vermin make the greatest waste , And a poor Warren once a City rais'd . But they whom born to Virtue and to Wealth , Whom neither flatt'ry binds , nor want to stealth ; Whose Conscience and whose Courage high With Counsels their large Souls supply ; That serve the King with their Estates and Care , And , as in Love , on Parliaments can stare : ( Where few the number , choice is there less hard ) Give us this Court , and rule without a Guard. ROCHESTER 's Farewel . TIr'd with the noysom Follies of the Age , And weary of my Part , I quit the Stage ; For who in Life's dull Farce a Part would bear , Where Rogues , Whores , Bawds , all the head Actors are ? Long I with Charitable Malice strove , Lashing the Court , those Vermin to remove , But thriving Vice under the rod still grew , As aged Letchers whipp'd , their Lust renew ; What though my Life hath unsuccessful been , ( For who can this Augean Stable clean ) My gen'rous end I will pursue in Death , And at Mankind rail with my parting breath . First , the Tangier Bullies must appear , With open Brav'ry , and dissembled Fear : M — e their Head , but Gen'ral have a care , Though skill'd in all those Arts that cheat the fair , The Undiscerning and Impartial Moor , Spares not the Lover on the Ladies score . Think how many perish by one fatal shot , The Conquests all thy Goggling ever got . Think then ( as I presume you do ) how all The English Ladies will lament your fall ; Scarce will there greater Grief pierce every heart , Should Sir George H — , or Sir C — depart . Had it not better been than thus to roam , To stay and play the Cravat-string at home ? To strut , look big , shake Pantaloon , and swear With H — , D — , there 's no Action there . Had'st thou no friend that wou'd to R — write , To hinder this thy eagerness to fight ? That without danger thou a Brave might'st be , As sure to be deny'd as S — y. This sure the Ladies had not fail'd to do , But who such Courage could suspect in you ? For say , what Reason could with you prevail , To change Embroider'd Coat for Coat of Mail ? Let P — h , or let M — t go , whom Fate Has made not Valiant , but desperate . For who could not be weary of his Life , Who 's lost his Money , or has got a Wife ? To the more tolerable Alcaid of Alcazzer , One flies from Creditors , the other from Torrezer ; 'T were Cruelty to make so sharp Remarks , On all the little , forward , fighting Sparks ; Only Poor C — I can't but pitty thee , When all the pert young Voluntiers I see . Those Chits of War , who as much mirth create As the Pair Royal of the Chits of State , Their Names shall equal all excelling Glory , Chit S — d , Chit G — n , and Chit L — y. When thou let'st P — h , 't was such a Jest , As when the Brother made the same request ; Had R — d but got leave as well as he , The Jest had been compleat and worthy thee . Well , since he must , he 'll to Tangier advance It is resolv'd , but first let 's have a Dance . First , at her Highness Ball he must appear , And in a parting Country Dance , learn there With Drum and Fife to make a Jigg of War ; What is of Soldier seen in all the heap , Besides the flutt'ring Feather in the Cap , The Scarf , and Yard or two of Scarlet Cloath , From Gen'ral M — e down to little W — h ? There leave we them , and back to England come , Whereby the Wiser Sparks that stay at home , In safe Ideas by their fancy form'd , Tangier ( like Mastrich ) is at Windsor Storm'd . But now we talk of Mastrich , where is he , Fam'd for that brutal piece of Bravery ? He with his thick Impenetrable Skull , The solid , hard'ned Armour of a Fool ? Well might himself to all Wars ills expose , Who ( come what will yet ) had no Brains to lose . Yet this is he , the dull unthinking he , Who must ( forsooth ) our future Monarch be . This Fool by Fools ( A — g and V — n ) led , Dreams that a Crown will drop upon his Head , By great example he this Path doth tread , Following such sensless Asses up and down , ( For Saul sought Asses when he found a Crown . ) But R — s is risen as Samuel at his call , To tell that God hath left the ambitious Saul . Never ( says Heaven ) shall the blushing Sun , See P — s Bastard fill the Regal Throne . So Heaven says , but B — n says he shall , But who e're he protects is sure to fall . Who can more certain of Destruction be , Than he that trufts to such a Rogue as he ? What good can come from him who Y — k forsook , T'espouse the Interest of this Booby Duke ? But who the best of Masters cou'd desert , Is the the most fit to take a Traytors part . Ungrateful ! This thy Master-piece of sin , Exceeds ev'n that with which thou did'st begin . Thou great Proficient in the Trade of Hell , Whose latter Crimes still do thy first excel : The very top of Villany we seize , By steps in order , and by just degrees . None e're was perfect Villain in one day , The murder'd Boy to Treason led the way ; But when degrees of Villany we Name , How can we choose but think on B — m ? He who through all of them hath boldly ran , Left ne're a Law unbroke by God or Man. His treasured sins of Supererrogation , Swell to a summ enough to damn a Nation : But he must here , per force , be let alone , His acts require a Volumn of their own : Where rank'd in dreadful order shall appear , All his Exploits from S — y to Le M — . But stay , methinks I on a sudden find , My Pen to treat of th' other Sex inclin'd ; But where in all this choice shall I begin ? Where , but with the renowned M — e ? For all the Bawds the Courts rank Soil doth bear , And Bawds and States-men grow in plenty there . To thee submit and yield , should we be Just , To thy experienc'd and well-travell'd Lust : Thy well-known Merits claim that thou should'st be , First in the Glorious Roll of Infamy . To thee they all give place , and Homage pay , Do all thy Letcherous Decrees obey ; ( Thou Queen of Lust , thy Bawdy Subjects they . ) While S — x , B — ll , Betty F — n come , Thy Whores of Honour , to attend thy Throne ; For what proud Strumpet e're could merit more , Than be Anointed the Imperial Whore ? For tell me , in all Europe , where 's the part , That is not Conscious of thy Lewd desert . The great Pedalian Youth , whose Conquests run O're all the World , and Travall'd with the Sun , Made not his Valour in more Nations known . Than thou thy Lust , thy matchless Lust have shown , All Climes , all Countries , do with Tribute come , ( Thou World of Lewdness ) to thy boundless Womb : Thou Sea of Lust , that never ebb dost know , Whither the Ruines of all Nations flow . Lewd Messaline was but a Type of thee , Thou highest , last degree of Letchery : For in all Ages , except her and you , Who ever sinn'd so high , and stoop'd so low . She to th' Imperial Bed each Night did use , To bring the stink of the Exhausted Stews ; Tir'd ( but not satisfy'd ) with man did come , Drunk with abundant Lust , and reeling home . But thou , to our admiring Age , dost show More sin than Inn'cent Rome did ever know ; And having all her Lewdnesses out-ran , Takes up with Devil , having tir'd man : For what is else that loathsom uggly Black. Which you and S — x in your Arms do take ? Nor does Old Age , which now rides on so fast , Make thee come short of all thy Lewdness past : Though on thy Head , Grey-hairs like Etna's Snow Are shed , thou' rt Fire and Brimstone all below . Thou monstrous thing , in whom at once does rage The flames of Youth , and Impotence of Age. My Lady D — s takes the second place , Proud with thy favour , and peculiar grace ; E'n she with all her Piety and Zeal , The hotter flames that burn in thee does feel . Thou dost into her kindling breast inspire , The Lustful seeds of thy Contagious fire ; So well the Spirit and the Flesh agree , Lust and Devotion , Zeal and Letchery . Important use Religion 's made , By those who wisely drive the Cheating Trade ; As Wines Prohibited securely pass , Changing the Name of their own Native place . So Vice grows safe , drest in Devotions Name , Unquestion'd by the Custom-house of Fame : Where e're so much of Sanctity you see , Be more suspicious of hid Villany ; Whoseever Zeal is than his Neighbours more , If man think he 's a Rogue , if Woman Whore : And such a thing art thou Religious Pride , So very Lewd , and yet so Sanctify'd . Let now the D — s take no further care Of humorous Stallions , let her not dispair , Since her Indulgent Stars so kind have been , To send her B — y and M — e , This last doth banisht M — s Place supply , And Wit supplanted is by Letcher For M — h he had Parts , and Wit , and Sense , To all which M — e had no pretence ; A proof that since such things as he prevail , Her H — s Head is lighter than her Tail. But stay , I P — h almost had forgot , The common Theam of ev'ry Rhiming Sot ; She 'll after railing make us laugh a while , For at her Folly who can choose but smile ? While them who always slight her great she makes , And so much pains to be despis'd she takes . Goes sauntring with her Highness up to Town , To an Old Play , and in the Dark come down ; Still makes her Court to her as to the Queen , But still is Justled out by M — e. So much more Worthy a kind Bawd is thought , Than ever she who her from Exile brought . O P — h , foolish P — h ! Not to take The offer the great S — d did make , When Cringing at thy Feet ; e're M — h bow'd , The Golden Calf , that 's Worshipp'd by the Crowd . But thou for Y — k , who now despises thee , To leave both him and Pow'rful S — v : If this is all the Policy you know , This all the skill in States you boast of so , How wisely did thy Country's Laws ordain , Never to let the foolish Women Reign . But what must we expect , who daily see Unthinking C — s Rul'd by Unthinking thee . FINIS .

Being a new Song , wherein the people expresse their thankes and pray for the Reformers . To be said or sung of all the well affected of the Kingdome of England , and Dominion of Wales , before they eate any Plumbroth at Christmasse . To a Rare New Tune . NOW that thankes to the Powers below , We have e'ne done out our doe , The Miter is downe , And so is the Crowne And with them the Coronet too ; Come Clownes and come boyes , Come hober de hoyes , Come Females of each degree , Stretch your throats , bring in your Votes , And make good the Anarchy . And thus it shall goe sayes Alice , Nay thus it shall goe sayes Amy ; Nay thus it shall goe sayes Taffie I trow , Nay thus it shall goe sayes Jamy . Ah but the Truth good people all , The Truth is such a thing , For it wou'd undoe , both Church and State too , And cut the throat of our King , Yet not the Spirit , nor the new light , Can make this point so cleare , But thou must bring out , thou Deified rout What thing this truth is and where . Speak Abraham , speak Kester , speak Iudith , speak Hester ; Speak tag and rag , short coat and long , Truth 's the spell made us rebell , And murder and plunder ding dong . Sure I have the truth sayes Numph , Nay I ha' the truth sayes Clemme ; Nay I ha' the truth sayes reverend Ruth , Nay I ha' the truth sayes Nem. Well let the Truth be where it will , We 're sure all else is ours , Yet these divisions in our Religions , May chance abate our powers ; Then let 's agree on some one way , It skills not much how true , Take Pryn and his Clubs , or Say and his Tubs , Or any Sect old or new ; The Devils i th' Pack , if choyce you can lack , We 're fourescore Religions strong , Take your choyce , the major voyce Shall carry it right or wrong : Then wee le be of this sayes Megg , Nay wee le be of that sayes Tibb , Nay wee le be of all sayes pityfull Paul , Nay wee le be of none sayes Gibb . Neighbours and Friends pray one word more , There 's something yet behind , And wise though you be , you doe not well see In which doore sits the winde ; As for Religion to speake right And in the Houses sense , The matter 's all one to have any or none , If 't were not for the pretence ; But herein doth lurke the key of the worke , Even to dispose of the Crowne , Dexterously and as may be For your behoofe in our owne . Then le ts ha' King CHARLES sayes George , Nay le ts have his son sayes Hugh , Nay then le ts ha' none sayes jabbering Ione , Nay le ts be all Kings sayes Prue . Oh we shall have ( if we go on In Plunder , Excise , and blood ) But few folke and poore to domineere ore , And that will not be so good : Then le ts resolve on some new way , Some new and happy course , The Countrys growne sad , the City horne mad , And both Houses are worse . The Synod hath writ , the Generall hath — And both to like purpose too , Religion , Lawes , the Truth , the Cause Are talk't of , but nothing we doe . Come come shal's ha peace sayes Nell , No no but we won't sayes Madge , But I say we will sayes firy fac'd Phill , We will and we won't sayes Hodge . Thus from the rout who can expect Ought but division ; Since Unity doth with Monarcie , Begin and end in One ; If then when all is thought their owne , And lyes at their behest , These popular pates reap nought but debates From that many Round-headed beast . Come Royalists then , doe you play the men , And Cavaliers give the word , Now le ts see at what you would be , And whether you can accord ; A health to King CHARLES sayes Tom , Up with it sayes Raphe like a Man , God blesse him sayes Doll , and raise him sayes Moll , And send him his owne sayes Nan . Now for those prudent Things that fit Without end , and to none , And their Committees that Townes and Cities Fill with confusion ; For the bold Troopes of Sectaries , The Scots and their partakers ; Our new Brittish States , Col Burges and his Mates , The Covenant and its Makers , For all these wee le pray , and in such a way , As if it might granted be , Iack and Gill , Mat and Will , And all the World would agree . A pox take them all sayes Besse , And a plague too sayes Margery , The Devill sayes Dick , and his Dam too sayes Nick , Amen and Amen say I. It is desired that the Knights and Burgesses would take especiall care to send downe full numbers hereof , to their respective Counties and Burroughs , for which they have served Apprentiship , that all the people may rejoyce as one man for their freedome .

The Nobles to their Kings present Some precious Gemm , or Ornament ; The Peasants of their Lords address Their rural Christ-mas Charites ; The Clients to their Lawyers give Such thanks , whereby their Causes thrive ; Who , to their Persons will be nigh , Approve , their Interest will not Lie ; For if you will a Saint appear , Your offring must renew the year ; Sir John ! he cannot hold forth right , Unless cramm'd Capons him invite . Is 't possible a Ju●●ice can At New-years-tide turn Pellican ? Or that the Clerks revenew be Kisses from Bawdes without a see ? No , no! their rents are better paid , Else Peace might for Poor-John go trade . Will any think , Will Lilly write's For Sweden , ( though the King now bite's His fingers ends , and would have feign His Chain at Golden-burg again , ) B●t that the old years Starrs portend , The King at Dco●ns-day will him send A Medal , for a Xenium , Made of the Danes old Kettle-Drum .

None but the King's long Parliament To be our Supream Government ! All this and more , in Forty nine , Is vough'd from Francis Guicciardine By Thee , thou many-headed Beast , Thou Pimp for ev'ry Interest ! No sooner yet old Noll conspire's To wing his Phanton desires , And to Usurp the Supreme Power , But then Le Vostre Servitour !

But when God's providence depos'd Our short-reign'd Lords , and ( unsuppos'd , ) Restor'd the noble Parliament , Come let me speak ! Mar. Nedham , Gent. Recraft's his cursed perfidie , And say's , that Interest will not lie : And who but he ! ( for old John Cann No more can do , than can a man ! He write's against the Cavalliers , And pull's the Presbyterians eares : He cures the wounds , which late he gave To th' Parliament's repute : The brave She General , my Lady Doll , He brings to the Tower without control . But when ambition move's the Sphaer , And Lambert will have no Com-peer ; And that a second violence ( Acted with traytr'ous insolence , ) Is offer'd to the Parliament , ( One day , we hope , which they ' l resent ! ) Who but POLITICVS again ! Sir Arthur , and Hab. Morley's slain ! Monck , Lawson , Land , and Sea 's subdu'd ! The Cittizens ( like Buzzards ) mewed ! The Devil and his Damm to-boot Have brought the Lunars under foot ! Our Newes do's more in Print , than we From Ports-mouth , or else where can see ! We call Free-Parliaments , and then Send them as free to th' Moon agen , Or to the Grand Abyss ; for yet At Wallingford they have not set . Thou Juggling damn'd Imposter ! pray , Thou yet mayst live one New-years day ; And not like Doctor Lamb be palted , Till Tiburne ha's thy Crest exalted . Expect no mercy , or reprieve ! It 's better than thou shouldst deceive The world again , the world should be Annihilate : What Need have we Of such an Arch-Ardelio , when There are so many honest men ? Who friends are to the good Old Cause , Our native Liberties , and Lawes ; And are not mercenary Sephs , No Robinsons , nor Deanes , nor Goffs . If thou survive , th'art such a Pest , As will all Nature's frame infest , That 's habitable ; Begg we then , Thou mayst be quickly Trust . Amen .

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Most Holy Father , being joyn'd in League With Father P — s , D — y , and with Teague , Thrown at your Sacred Feet , I humbly bow , I and the wise Associates of my Vow ; A Vow , nor Fire nor Sword shall ever end , Till all this Nation to your Footstool bend : Thus arm'd with Zeal and Blessings from your Hands , I 'le raise my Papists , and my Irish Bands ; And by a Noble well-contrived Plot , Manag'd by wise Fitz — and by Scot , Prove to the World , I 'le have Old England know , That common Sense is my Eternal Foe . I ne'r can fight in a more glorious Cause , Than to destroy their Liberty and Laws , Their House of Commons , and their House of Lords , Parliaments , Precedents and dull Records ; Shall these e'r dare to contradict my Will , And think a Prince o th' Blood can e'r do Ill ? It is our Birth-right to have Power to kill . Shall they e're dare to think they shall decide The Way to Heaven , and who shall be my Guide ? Shall they pretend to say , That Bread is Bread , Or there 's no Purgatory for the Dead ? That Extream Unction is but common Oyl , And not Infallibly the Roman Spoil ? I will have Villains in our Notions rest , And I do say it , therefore it 's the best . Next Painter draw his M — by his side , Conveying his Religion and his Bride ; He who long since abjur'd the Royal Line , Does now in Popery with his Master joyn . Then draw the Princess with her golden Locks , Hastning to be envenom'd with the P — And in her youthful Veins receive a Wound , Which sent N. H. before her , under Ground ; The Wound of which the tainted Ch — fades , Laid up in Store for a new Set of Maids . Poor Princess , born under a sullen Star , To find such Welcome when you came so far ! Better some jealous Neighbour of your own Had call'd you to a Sound , tho' petty Throne , Where 'twixt a wholesom Husband and a Page , You might have linger'd out a lazy Age , Than on dull Hopes of being here a Q — E're twenty dye , and rot before fifteen . Now Painter shew us in the Blackest Dye , The Counsellors of all this Villany : Cl — d , who first appear'd in humble guise , Was always thought too Gentle , Meek and Wise : But when he came to act upon the Stage , He prov'd the mad Cethegus of our Age ; He and his D — ke had both too great a Mind , To be by Justice or by Law confin'd ; Their boyling Heads can hear no other Sounds Than Fleets and Armies , Battails , Blood and Woun'd 's ; And to destroy our Liberty they hope , By Irish Talbot , and old doting Pope . Next Talbot must by his great Master stand , Laden with Folly , Flesh , and Ill-got Land ; He 's of a size indeed to fill a Porch , But ne're can make a Pillar of the Church ; His Sword is all his Argument , not his Book , Alt ho no Scholar , he can act the Cook ; And will cut Throats again , if he be paid ; In th' Irish Shambles he first learn'd the Trade . Then Painter shew thy Skill , and in fit place , Let 's see the Nuncio A — ll's sweet Face . Let the Beholders by thy Art espy His Sense and Soul , as squinting as his Eye . Let B — s autumnal Face be seen , Rich with the Spoils of a poor Algerine , Who trusting in him , was by him betray'd ; And so shall we when his Advice's obey'd : Great Heroes to get Honour by the Sword , He got his Wealth by breaking of his Word ; And now his Daughter he hath got with Child , And Pimps to have his Family defil'd , Next Painter draw the Rabble of the Plot , G — n , Fitz G — d , Loftus , Porter , Scot : These are fit Heads indeed , to turn a State , And change the Order of a Nations Fate ; Ten thousand such as these shall ne'r controul The smallest Atom of an English Soul. Old England on a strong Foundation stands , Defying all their Heads and all their Hands , It s steady Basis never could be shook , When Wiser Men her Ruin undertook : And can her Guardian Angels let her stoop At last , to Madmen , Fools , and to the Pope ? No Painter , no close up this Piece and See , This crowd of Traitors hang'd in EFFIGIE . Hodge , a Countryman , went up to the Piramid , His VISION . WHen Hodge had numbred up , how many Score The airy Piramid contain'd , he swore , No mortal Wight e'r climb'd so high before . To th' best Advantage plac'd , he Views around , Th' Imperial Throne with lofty Turrets crown'd , The wealthy Store-house of the bounteous Flood , Whose paceful Tide o're-flows our Land with Good : Confused Forms fleet by his wondring Eyes , And his Soul too , seiz'd by Divine surprize . Some God it seems had entred his plain Breast , And with 's Abode that Rustick Mansion blest . A mighty Change he feels in ev'ry part ; Light guides his Eyes , and Wisdom rules his Heart : So when her pious Son , fair Venus show'd His flaming Troy , with slaughter'd Dardan's Strow'd , She purg'd his Optick Films , his clouded Sight , Then Troy's last Doom he read by Heaven's Light ; Such Light Divine did seize the dazling Eyes Of humble Hodge . Regions remote , Courts , Councils , Policies The Circling Wills of Tyrants Treacheries He views , discerns , deciphers , penetrates , From Charle's Dukes , to Europe's armed States . He saw the Goatish King in his Alcove , With secret Scenes of his incestuous Love ; To whom he spoke : Cease , cease , O Charles , thus to pollute our Isle ; Return , return to thy long wisht Exile ; There with thy Court desile the neighb'ring States . And by thy Crimes participate their Fates . He saw the Duke in his curst Divan set To 's vast Designs reaching his Pigmy-Wit , With a choice Knot of the Ignatian Crew , Who th' way to Murthers and to Treasons shew : Dissenters they oppress with Laws severe That whilst we wound these innocents , we fear Their cursed Seed we may be forc'd to spare . Twice the Reform'd must fight a double Prize , That Rome and France may in their Ruines rise . Old Bonner single Hereticks did burn , These Reform'd Cities into Ashes turn , And ev'ry year new Fires make us mourn . Hybernian Tories plot his cruel Reign , And thirst for English Martyrs Blood again . Our Valiant Youth abroad must learn the Trade Of unjust War , their Countrey to invade ; Others at home must grind us to prepare Our Gallick Necks their Iron Yoke to wear . Ships , once our Safety and our glorious Might , Are doom'd with Worms and Rottenness to fight ; Whilst France rides Sovereign o're the British Main , Our Merchants robb'd , and brave Sea-men slain : T' insure his Plot , France must his Legions send , Rome to restore , and to enthrone his Friend : Thus the rash Phaeton with Fury hurl'd , And rapid Rage , consumes the British World. Blast him , O Heaven , in his mad Career , And let these Isles no more his Frenzy fear : Curst — whom all Mankind abhor ; False to thy self , but to thy Friend much more , To him who did thy promis'd Pardon hope , ( Coleman . And with pretended Transports kiss the Rope ; Ore-whelm'd with Grief , and gasping out a Lie , Deceiv'd , and unprepar'd , thou letst him die With equal Gratitude and Treachery . BRITANNIA and RALEIGH . By A. M. Brit. AH Raleigh , when thou didst thy Breath resign To trembling James , would I had quitted mine . Cubs did'st thou call them ? Hadst thou seen this Brood Of Earls , Dukes , and Princes of the Blood ; No more of Scottish Race thou wouldst complain These would be Blessings in this spurious Reign . Awake , arise from thy long blest Repose ; Once more with me partake of Morlace Woes . Ra. What mighty Pow'r hath forc'd me from my rest ? Oh mighty Queen , why so untimely drest ? Brit. Favour'd by Night , conceal'd in this Disguise , Whilst the lewd Court in drunken Slumber lies , I stole away , and never will return , Till England knows who did her City burn ; Till Cavaliers shall Favourites be deem'd , And Loyal Sufferers by the Court esteem'd , Till Liegh and Galloway shall Bribes reject ; Thus Osburn's Golden Cheat I shall detect : Till Atheist L — le shall leave this Land , And Commons Votes shall Cut-Nose Guards disband ; Till Kate a happy Mother shall become , Till Charles loves Parliaments , and James hates Roome . Ral. What fatal Crimes make you for ever fly Your once loved Court and Martyrs Progeny ? Brit. A Colony of French possess the Court ; Pimps , Priests , Buffoons in the Privy Chamber sport ; Such slimy Monsters ne'r approacht a Throne Since Pharaoh's Days , nor so defil'd a Crown . In sacred Ear Tyrannick Arts they croak , Pervert his Mind , and good Intentions choak ; Tell him of Golden Indies , Fairy Lands , Leviathan , and absolute Commands . Thus Fairy-like the King they steal away , And in his room a Changling Lewis lay . How oft have I him to himself restor'd , In 's left the Scale , in 's right hand plac'd the Sword ? Taught him their use , what dangers would ensue , To them who strive to separate these two ? The bloody Scotish Chronicle read o're , Shew'd him how many Kings in purple gore Were hurl'd to Hell by cruel Tyrant Lore . The other day fam'd Spencer I did bring , In lofty Notes Tudor's blest Race to sing ; How Spain's proud Powers her Virgin Arms controul'd , And Gold'n Days in peaceful Order roul'd ; How like ripe Fruit she dropt from off her Throne , Full of grey Hairs , good Deeds , and great Renown . As the Jessean Hero did appease Sauls stormy Rage , and stopt his black Disease ; So the learn'd Bard , with Artful Song supprest The swelling Passion of his canker'd Breast , And in his Heart kind Influences shed Of Country Lore by Truth and Justice bred : Then , to perform the Cure so full begun , To him I shew'd this glorious setting Sun. How by her Peoples Looks pursu'd from far , So mounted on a bright Celestial Car , Out-shining Virgo , or the Julian Star. Whilst in Truths Mirrour this good Scene he spy'd , Enter'd a Dame , bedeckt with spotted Pride , Fair Flower de Luce within an Azure Field , Her left Hand bears the Ancient Gallick Shield , By her usurp'd ; her Right a bloody Sword , Inscrib'd Leviathan , our Soveraign Lord ; Her towry Front a fiery Meteor bears , An Exhalation bred of Blood and Tears ; Around her Jove's lewd rav'nous Curs complain , Pale Death , Lust , Tortures , fill her pompous Train : She from the easie King Truth 's Mirrour took , And on the Ground in spiteful Fall it broke ; Then frowning thus , with proud Disdain she broke . Are thred-bare Virtues Ornaments for Kings ? Such poor Pedantick Toys teach Underlings . Do Monarchs rise by Virtue or by Sword ? Who e're grew great by keeping of his Word ? Virtue 's a faint Green-Sickness to brave Souls , Dastards their Hearts , their active Heat controuls : The Rival God , Monarchs of th' other World , This mortal Poyson amongst Princes hold ; Fearing the mighty Projects of the great , Shall drive them from their proud Coelestial Seat , If not o're-aw'd : This new-found holy Cheat , Those pious Frauds too slight , t' insnare the brave , Are proper Acts of long-ear'd Rout t' inslave . Bribe hungry Priests to deifie your Might , To teach your Will 's , your only Rule to Right ; And sound Damnation to all that dare deny 't . Thus Heaven designs ' gainst Heaven you should turn , And make them fear those powers you once did scorn . When all the Gobling Interest of Mankind , By Hirelings sold to you shall be resign'd ; And by Impostures God and man betray'd , The Church and State you safely may invade ; So boundless Law in its full power shines , Whil'st your starv'd power in Legal Fetters pines . Shake off those Baby Bands from your strong Arms , Henceforth be deaf to your old Witches Charms ; Tast the delicious Sweets of Sovereign power , 'T is Royal Game whole Kingdoms to deflower . Three spotless Virgins to your Bed I 'le bring , A Sacrifice to you their God and King : As these grow stale we 'l harras human kind , Rack Nature till new pleasures you shall find , Strong as your Reign , and beauteous as your Mind . When she had spoke , a confus'd Murmour rose Of French , Scotch , Irish , all my mortal Foes , Some English too , O shame ! disguis'd I spy'd , Led all by the wise Son-in-Law of Hyde ; With Fury drunk , like Baccanels they Roar , Down wth that common Magna Charta Whore : With joynt Consent on helpless Me they flew , And from my Charles to a base Goal me drew ; My Reverend Age expos'd to Scorn and Shame , To Prigs , Bawds , Whores , was made the publick Game . Frequent Addresses to my Charles I send , And my sad State did to his Care commend : But his fair Soul transform'd by that French Dame , Had lost a sense of Honour , Justice , Fame . Like a tame Spinster in 's Seraigl he sits , Besieg'id by Whores , Buffoons and Bastards Chits ; Lull'd in Security , rowling in Lust , Resigns his Crown to Angel Cromwel's Trust . Her Creature O — e , the Revenue steals , False F — ch , Knave Ang — ery , misguide the Seals ; Mack-James the Irish Biggots does adore : His French and Teague commands on sea and shore : The Scotch Scalado of our Court two Isles , Fale L — le with Adure all defiles . Thus the States Right marr'd by this Hellish Court , And no one left these Furies to cast out : Ah Vindex come , and purge the poison'd State ; Descend , Descend , e're the Cure's desperate . Ral. Once more great Queen thy Darling strive to save , Rescue him again from scandal and the Grave ; Present to 's Thoughts his long scorn'd Parliament , The Basis of his Throne and Government : In his deaf Ears sound his dead Fathers Name , Perhaps that Spell may his ill Soul reclaim ; Who knows what good Effects from thence may spring ? 'T is God-like Good to save a falling King. Brit. As easily learn'd Vertuoso's may With the Dogs Blood his gentle Kind Convey Into the Wolf , and make him Guardian turn , To the bleating Flock , by him so lately torn ; If this Imperial Juice once taint his Blood , 'T is by no potent Antidote withstood . Tyrants , like Leprous Kings , for publick weal , Should be immur'd , lest the Contagion steal Over the whole . Th' Elect of the Jessean Line , To this firm Law their Scepter did resign . To the serene Venetian State I 'le go , From her sage Mouth fam'd Principles to know ; With her , the prudence of the ancients read , To teach my people in their steps to tread ; By their great Pattern such a State I 'le frame , Shall eternize a glorious lasting Name . Till then , my Raleigh teach our noble Youth , To love Sobriety and holy Truth : Watch and preside over their tender Age , Lest Court Corruption should their Soul engage : Tell them how Arts and Arms in thy young Days Employ'd our Youth , not Taverns , Stews and Plays : Tell them the generous Scorn their rise does ow To Flattery , Pimping and a Gawdy Shew : Teach them to scorn the Corwells , P — s , Neils , The Clevelands , Osborns , Berties , Lau — ails , Poppea , Tegoline and Arteria's Name , Who yield to these in Lewdness , Lust and Fame . Make 'em admire the Talbots , Sidneys , Veres , Drake , Cav'ndish , Blake , Men void of slavish Fears , True Sons of Glory , Pillars of the State , On whose fam'd Deeds all Tongues and Writers wait ; When with bright Ardour their bright Souls do burn , Back to my dearest Country I 'le return . Tarquin's just Judge and Caesar's equal Peers , With them I 'le bring , to dry my Peoples Tears . Publicola with healing Hands shall pour Balm in their Wounds , and shall their Life restore : Greek Arts and Roman Arms in her conjoyn'd , Shall England raise , relieve opprest Mankind . As Jove's great Son th' infested Globe did free From noxious Monsters , hell-bred Tyranny ; So shall my England in a Holy War , In Triumph bear slain Tyrants from afar ; Her true Crusado shall at last pull down The Turkish Crescent and the Persian Sun. Freed by my Labours , Fortunate Blest Isle , The Earth shall rest , the Heaven shall on thee smile ; And this kind Secret for Reward shall give , No Poysonous Serpent on the Earth shall live . On the Statue at Stocks-Market . AS Citizens , that to their Conquerors yield , Do at their own Charge their own Citadel build ; So Sir Robert advanced the King's Statue , a Token Of a Broker defeated , and Lombard-street broken . Some thought it a mighty and gracious Deed , Obliging the City with a King on a Steed ; When with honour he might from his Word have gone back , Who that waits for a Calm , is absolv'd by a Wreck : By all , it appears from the first to the last , To be as Revenge and as Malice forecast , Upon the Kings Birth Day to set up a Thing , That shews him a Monkey , more like than a King. When each one that passes , finds fault with the Horse , Yet all do assure that the King is much worse : And some by the Likeness , Sir Robert suspect , That he did for the K — his own Statue erect . To see him so disguis'd , the Herb-women chide , Who upon their Panniers more decently ride : And so loose are his feet , that all men agree Sir William Peak sits more faster than he : But a Market they say doth fit the King well , Who oft Parliaments buys , and Revenues doth sell : And others , to make the Similitude hold , Say his Majesty himself is oft bought and sold . Surely this Statue is more dangerous far , Than all the Dutch Pictures that caused the War ; And what the Exchequer for that took on trust , May henceforth be confiscated for Reasons most just . But Sir Robert , to take the Scandal away , Doth the fault upon the Artificer lay ; And alledges the thing is none of his own ; For he counterfeits only in Gold , not in Stone . But Sir Knight of the Vine , how came't in your thought , That when to the Sc — Id your Liege you had brought , With Canvas and Deals you ere since do him cloud , As if you had meant it his Coffin and Shroud ? Hath Blood him away , as his Crown he convey'd ? Or is he to Clayton's gone in Masquerade ? Or is he in his Cabal in his — set ? Or have you to the Compter remov'd him for Debt ? Methinks for the Equipage of this vile Scene , That to change him into a Jack-Pudding you mean , Or else thus expose him to Popular Flout , As tho' we had as good have a King of a Clout . Or do you his Errors out of Modesty vail With three shatter'd Planks , and the Rags of a Sail , To expose how his Navy was shatter'd and torn , The day that he was restored and born ? If the Judges and Parliament do not him enrich , They will scarcely afford him a Rag to his Breech . Sir Robert affirms they do him much wrong ; 'T is the Gravers Work to reform so long . But alas , he will never arrive at his end ; For 't is such a King no Chizzel can mend : But with all his faults pray give us our King , As ever you hope December or Spring : For though the whole World cannot shew such another , We had better have him than his P — ' d Brother . A Young Gentleman , desirous to be a Minister of State , thus pretends to qualifie himself . TO make my self for this Employment fit , I 'le learn as much as I can ever get Of the Honourable G — y of R — Wit : In Constancy and sincere Loyalty , I 'le imitate the grateful Shaftsbury ; And that we may assume the Churches weal , And all Disorder in Religion heal , I will espouse Lord H — 's Zeal : To pay Respect to Sacred Revelation , To scorn th' affected Wit of Prophanation , And rout Impiety out of the Nation : To suppress Vice and Scandal to prevent , Buck — 's Life shall be my Precedent , That living Modal of good Covernment . To dive into the depth of Statesmen's Craft , To search the Secrets of the subtlest Heart , And hide my own designs with prudent Art : To make each Man my Property become , To frustrate all the Plots of France or Rome , None can so well instruct as my Lord Moon ; For Moral Honesty in Deed and Word , Lord W — r Example will afford ; That , and his Courage too , are on Record . To the King. GReat Charles , who full of Mercy , wouldst command In Peace and Pleasure this , his Native Land ; At last take pity of this tottering Throne , Shook by the Faults of others , not thine own . Let not thy Life and Crown together end , Destroy'd by a false Brother and a Friend . Observe the danger that appears so near , That all your Subjects do each minute fear : One drop of Poison , or a Papist-Knife , Ends all the Joy of England with thy Life . Brothers , 't is true , by Nature , should be kind ; But a too zealous and ambitious Mind , Brib'd with a Crown on Earth , and one above , Harbours no Friendship , Tenderness , or Love : See in all Ages what Examples are Of Monarchs murther'd by their impatient Heir . Hard Fate of Princes , who will ne're believe Till the Stroke's struck which they can ne're retrieve ▪ Nostradamus's PROPHECY . By A. M. FOR Faults and Follies London's Doom shall fix , And She must sink in Flames in Sixty six ; Fire-Balls shall fly , but few shall see the Train , As far as from White-hall to Pudding-Lane , To burn the City , which again shall rise , Beyond all hopes , aspiring to the Skies , Where Vengeance dwells . But there is one thing more ( Though its Walls stand ) shall bring the City lower : When Legislators shall their Trust betray , Saving their own , shall give the rest away ; And those false men by th' easie People sent , Give Taxes to the King by Parliament : When bare-fac'd Villains shall not blush to cheat , And Chequer-Doors shall shut up Lumbard-street : When Players come to act the part of Queens , Within the Curtains , and behind the Scenes : When Sodomy shall be prime Min'sters Sport , And Whoring shall be the least Crime at Court : When Boys shall take their Sisters for their Mate , And practice Incests between Seven and Eight : When no man knows in whom to put his trust , And e'en to rob the Chequer shall be just ; When Declarations , Lie , and every Oath Shall be in use at Court but Faith and Troth ; When two good Kings shall be at Brentford Town , And when in London there shall be not one ; When the seat's given to a talking Fool , Whom wise men laugh at , and whom Women rule ; A Min'ster able only in his Tongue , To make harsh , empty speeches two hours long ; When an old Scotch Covenant shall be The Champion for th' English Hierarchy ; When Bishops shall lay all Religion by , And strive by Law t' establish Tyranny ; When a lean Treasurer shall in one year Make himself fat , his King and People bare ; When th' English Prince shall English men despise , And think French only Loyal , Irish Wise ; When Wooden Shoon shall be the English wear , And Magna Charta shall no more appear ; Then th' English shall a greater Tyrant know Than either Greek or Latin Story show ; Their Wives to 's Lust expos'd , their Wealth to 's Spoil , VVith Groans to fill his Treasury they toil ; But like the Bellides must sigh in vain ; For that still fill'd flows out as fast again ; Then they with envious Eyes shall Belgium see , And wish in vain Venetian Liberty . The Frogs too late , grown weary of their pain , Shall pray to Jove to take him back again . Sir Edmondbury Godfrey 's Ghost . IT happen'd in the Twilight of the Day , As England's Monarch in his Closet lay , And Chiffinch step'd to fetch the Female Prey ; The bloody shape of Godfrey did appear , And in sad Vocal sounds these things declare : " Behold , Great Sir , I from the Shades am sent , " To shew these Wounds that did your Fall prevent . " My panting Ghost , as Envoy , comes to call , " And warn you , lest , like me , y' untimely fall ; " Who against Law your Subjects Lives pursue , " By the same rate may dare to murther you . " I , for Religion , Laws , and Liberties , " Am mangled thus , and made a Sacrifice . " Think what befel Great Egypt's hardned King , " Who scorn'd the Profit of admonishing . " Shake off your brandy slumbers ; for my Words " More Truth than all your close Cabal affords : " A Court you have with Luxury oregrown , " And all the Vices ere in Nature known ; " VVhere Pimps and Panders in their Coaches ride , " And in Lampoons and Songs your Lust deride . " Old Bawds and slighted VVhores , there tell , with shame , " The dull Romance of your Lascivious Flame . " Players and Scaramouches are your Joy ; " Priests and French Apes do all your Land annoy ; " Still so profuse , you are insolvent grown , " A Mighty Bankrupt on a Golden Throne . " Your nauseous Palate the worst Food doth crave ; " No wholsom Viands can an entrance have : " Each Night you lodge in that French Syren's Arms " She strait betrays you with her wanton Charms ; " Works on your Heart , softned with Love and Wine , " And then betrays you to some Philistine . " Imperial Lust does o're your Scepter sway ; " And though a Soveraign makes you to obey . " Yet thoughts so stupid have your Soul possess'd , " As if inchanted by some Magick Priest . " Next he who ' gainst the Senate's Vote did wed , " Took defil'd H. and Hesti to his Bed : " Fiend in his Face , Apostle in his Name , " Contriv'd to Wars to your eternal shame . " He ancient Laws and Liberties defies ; " On standing Guards and new raised Force relies : " The Teagues he courts , and doth the French admire , " And fain he would be mounted one step higher . " All this by you must needs be plainly seen , " And yet he awes you with his darling Spleen . " Th' unhappy Kingdom suffered much of Old , " When Spencer and loose Gaveston controull'd ; " Yet they by just Decrees were timely sent , " To suffer a perpetual Banishment . " But your bold States-men nothing can restrain , " Their most enormous Courses you maintain ; " Witness that Man , who had for divers years " Pay'd the Cubb-Commons , Pensions and Arrears ; " Though your Exchequer was at his Command , " Durst not before his just Accuser stand , " For Crimes and Treasons of so black a hue , " None dare to prove his Advocate but you . " Trust not in Prelates false Divinity , " Who wrong their Prince , and shame their Deity , " Making their God so partial in their Cause , " Exempting Kings alone from humane Laws . " These lying Oracles they did infuse " Of old , and did your Martyr'd Sire abuse . " Their strong delusions did him so inthral , " No Cautions would anticipate his Fall. " Repent in time , and banish from your sight " The Pimp , the Whore , Buffoon , Church-parasite ; " Let Innocence deck your remaining days , " That After-ages may unfold your Praise . " So may Historians in new Methods write , " And draw a Curtain 'twixt your black and white . The Ghost spake thus , groan'd thrice , and said no more : Straight in came Chiffinch hand in hand with Whore : The King tho' much concern'd with Joy and Fear , Starts from the Couch and bid the Dame draw near . Vpon the King's Voyage to Chatham , to make Bulwarks against the Dutch : And the Queen's miscarriage thereupon . WHen James our great Monarch , so Wise and Discreet : Was gone with three Barges , to face the Dutch Fleet ▪ Our young Prince of Wales ( by inheritance stout ! ) Was coming to aid him and peep'd his Head out ; But seeing his Father without Ships or Men , Commit the defence of us all to a Chain , Taffee was frighted , and sculk'd in again ; Nor thought , while the Dutch domineer'd on our Road ▪ It was safe to come further , and venture abroad : Not Walgrave , or th' Epistle of Seignieur le Duke , Made Her Majesty Sick , and her Royal Womb puke : But the Dutch-men Pickeering at Dover and Harwich , Gave the Ministers Agues , and the Queen a Miscarriage ; And to see the poor King stand in Ships of such need , Made the Catholicks quake , and Her Majesty bleed ; And I wish the sad Accident don't spoil the young Prince , Take off all his Manhood , and make him a Wench : But the Hero his Father no courage did lack ; Who was sorry on such a pretext to come back : He mark'd out his ground , and mounted a Gun , And 't is thought without such a pretence he had run ; For his Army and Navy were said to increase , As appears ( when we have no occasion ) in Peace : Nay , if the Dutch come , we despise 'em so much , Our Navy Incognito will leave 'em i' th' Lurch , And ( to their eternal Disgrace ) we are able To beat 'em by way of a Post and a Cable ; Why was this , Sir , left out of the Wise Declaration , That flatter'd with Hopes of more Forces , the Nation ? 'T would have done us great good to have said , you intended , The strength of the Nation the CHAIN should be mended ; Though we thank you , for Passing so kindly your Word , ( Which never was broke ) that you 'd Rule by the Sword ; This Promise we know you meant to fulfill ; And therefore you have reason ( by Gad ) to tak 't ill , That the Bishops , the Bishops did throw out the Bill . Three POEMS on the Death of the late Usurper Oliver Cromwell . Written by Mr. John Dryden , Mr. Sprat of Oxford , and Mr. Edm. Waller . Heroick Stanza's , on the late Vsurper Oliver Cromwell , written after his Funeral , by Mr. Dryden . I. AND now 't is time ; for their officious hast , Who would before have born him to the Sky , Like eager Romans e're all Rites were past , Did let to soon the sacred Eagle fly . II. Though our best Notes are Treason to his Fame , Join'd with the loud applause of publick Voice ; Since Heaven , what praise we offer to his Name , Hath rendred too Authentick by its choice ; III. Though in his praise no Arts can liberal be , Since they whose Muses have the highest flown , Add not to his Immortal Memory ; But do an act of Friendship to their own : IV. Yet 't is our duty , and our interest too , Such Monuments as we can build , to raise , Lest all the World prevent what we should do , And claim a Title in him by their Praise . V. How shall I then begin , or where conclude , To draw a Fame so truly Circular ? For in a round , what order can be shew'd , Where all the parts so equal perfect are ? VI. His Grandeur he deriv'd from Heaven alone , For he was great ere Fortune made him so , And Wars like Mists that rise against the San , Made him but greater seem , not greater grow . VII . No borrow'd Bays his Temples did adorn , But to our Crown he did fresh Jewels bring ; Nor was his Vertue poison'd soon as born , With the too early thoughts of being King. VIII . Fortune ( that easie Mistriss to the young , But to her ancient Servants coy and hard ) Him , at that age , her Favourites rank'd among , When she her best lov'd Pompey did discard . IX . He private , mark'd the Faults of others sway , And set as Sea-marks for himself to shun ; Not like rash Monarchs , who their youth betray , By Acts their Age too late would wish undone . X. And yet Dominion was not his design , We owe that blessing not to him but Heaven , Which to fair acts unsought rewards did join , Rewards that less to him , than us were given . XI . Our former Chief like Sticklers of the War , First sought t' inflame the parties , then to poise : The quarrel lov'd , but did the cause abhor , And did not strike to hurt , but make a noise . XII . War , our Consumption , was their gainful Trade ; He inward bled , whilst they prolong'd our pain ; He fought to end our fighting , and assay'd To stanch the blood by breathing of the Vein . XIII . Swift and resistless through the Land he past , Like that bold Greek , who did the East subdue , And made to Battels such Heroick haste , As if on Wings of Victory he flew . XIV . He Fought secure of Fortune as of Fame , Still by new Maps the Island might be shown , Of Conquests which he strew'd where e're he came , Thick as the Galaxy with Stars is sown . XV. His Palms , though under weights they did not stand , Still thriv'd , no Winter could his Laurels fade : Heaven in his Portraict shew'd a Workman's hand , And drew it perfect , yet without a shade . XVI . Peace was the prize of all his toil and care , Which War had banishd , and did now restore : Bolognia's Walls thus mounted in the Air , To seat themselves more surely than before : XVII . Her safety , rescued Ireland , to him owes , And treacherous Scotland to no int'rest true , Yet bless'd that Fate which did his Arms dispose Her Land to civilize , as to subdue . XVIII . Nor was he like those Stars which only shine , When to pale Mariners , they Storms portend ; He had his calmer influences , and his Mien Did Love and Majesty together blend . XIX . T is true his Countenance did imprint an awe , And naturally all Souls to his did bow , As wands of Divination downward draw , And point to beds where Sov'raign Gold doth grow . XX. When past all offerings to Pheretrian Jove , He Mars deposed , and Arms to Gowns made yield , Successful Councels did him soon approve , As fit for close Intrigues , as open Field . XXI . To suppliant Holland he vouchsaf'd a Peace , Our once bold Rival in the British Main , Now tamely glad her unjust claim to cease , And buy our Friendship with her Idol , Gain . XXII . Fame of the asserted Sea through Europe blown , Made France and Spain ambitious of his Love ; Each knew that side must conquer he would own , And for him fiercely , as for Empire strove . XXIII . No sooner was the French- man's Cause imbrac'd , Than the light Monsieur , the grave Don outweigh'd ; His Fortune turn'd the Scale where it was cast ; Though Indian Mines where in the other laid . XXIV . When absent , yet we conquer'd in his Right ; For though that some mean Artist's Skill were shown In mingling Colours , or in placing Light ; Yet still the fair Designment was his own . XXV . For from all Tempers he could Service draw ; The worth of each with its allay he knew ; And as the Confident of Nature saw How she Complections did divide and brew . XXVI . Or he their single Vertues did survey , By intuition in his own large Breast , Where all the rich Idea's of them lay , That were the Rule and Measure to the rest . XXVII . When such Heroick Vertue , Heaven set out : The Stars like Commons sullenly obey ; Because it drains them when it comes about ; And therefore is a Tax they seldom pay . XXVIII . From this high Spring , our Foreign Conquests flow , Which yet more glorious Triumphs do portend ; Since their Commencement to his Arms they owe , If springs as high as Fountains may ascend . XXXIX . He made us Free-men of the Continent , Whom Nature did like Captives treat before ; To Nobler preys the English Lion sent , And taught him first in Belgian Walks to roar . XXX . That old unquestion'd Pirate of the Land , Proud Rome , with dread the Fate of Dunkirk heard ; And trembling wish'd behind more Alpes to stand , Although an Alexander were her Guard. XXXI . By his Command , we boldly cross'd the Line , And bravely fought where Southern Stars arise , We trac'd the far-fetch'd Gold unto the Mine , And that which brib'd our Fathers made our Prize . XXXII . Such was our Prince , yet own'd a Soul above The highest Acts it could produce or show : Thus poor Mechanick Arts in publick move , Whilst the deep Secrets beyond Practice go . XXXIII . Nor died he when his ebbing Fame went less , But when the fresh Laurels courted him to live ; He seem'd but to prevent some new Success , As if above what Triumphs Earth can give . XXXIV . His la test Victories still thickest came , As near the Center , Motion doth increase ; Till he press'd down by his own weighty Name , Did , like the Vestal , under spoils decease . XXXV . But first the Ocean as a Tribute sent That Giant Prince of all her wat'ry Herd ; And th' Isle , when her protecting Genius went , Upon his Obsequies loud sighs conferr'd . XXXVI . No civil broils have fince his Death arose , But Faction now by habit does obey ; And Wars have that respect for his Repose , As Winds for Halcyons when they breed at Sea. XXXVII . His Ashes in a peaceful Urn shall rest , His Name a great Example stands to show , How strangely high Endeavours may be blest , Where Piety , and Valour jointly go . To the Reverend Dr. Wilkins , Warden of Wadham Colledge in Oxford . SIR , SEeing you are pleased to think fit that these Papers should come into the publick , which were at first design'd to live only in a Desk , or some private Friends Hands ; I humbly take the boldness to commit them to the security , which your Name and protection will give them , with the most knowing part of the World. There are two things especially , in which they stand in need of your defence : One is , That they fall so infinitely below the full and lofty Genius of that excellent Poet , who made this way of Writing Free of our Nation : The other , That they are so little proportioned and equal to the renown of that Prince , on whom they were written . Such great Actions and Lives , deserving rather to be the subjects of the noblest Pens and most Divine Phansies , than of such small Beginners and week Essayers in Poetry as my self . Against these dangerous prejudices , there remains no other shield , than the Universal Esteem and Authority , which your Judgment and Approbation carries with it . The right you have to them , Sir , is not only on the account of the Relation you had to this great Person , nor of the general favour which all arts receive from you ; but more particularly by reason of that Obligation and Zeal , with which I am bound to dedicate my self to your service : For having been a long time the Object of your Care and Indulgence towards the advantage of my Studies and Fortune , having been moulded ( as it were ) by your own Hands , and formed under your Government ; not to intitle you to any thing which my meanness produces , would not only be Injustice , but Sacriledge : So that if there be any thing here tolerably said , which deserves Pardon , it is yours Sir , as well as he , who is Your most Devoted and Obliged Servant . To the happy memory of the late Usurper Oliver Cromwel . By Mr. Sprat of Oxon. Pindarick Odes . I. 'T IS true , great Name , thou art secure From the forgetfulness and rage Of Death , or Envy , or devouring Age ; Thou canst the Force and Teeth of Time endure : Thy Fame like Men , the elder it doth grow , Will of its self turn whiter too , Without what needless art can do ; Will live beyond thy breath , beyond thy Hearse , Though it were never heard or sung in Verse . Without our help , thy Memory is safe ; They only want an Epitaph , That does remain alone Alive in an Inscription , Remembred only on the Brass , or Marble stone . 'T is all in vain what we can do : All our Roses and Perfumes Will but officious folly shew , And pious Nothings , to such mighty Tombs . All our Incense , Gums , and Balm , Are but unnecessary duties here : The Poets may their Spices spare , Their costly numbers and their tuneful feet : That need not be imbalm'd , which of it self is sweet . II. We know to praise thee is a dangerous proof Of our Obedience and our Love : For when the Sun and Fire meet , Th' one 's extinguish'd quite ; And yet the other never is more bright : So they that write of thee , and join Their feeble names with Thine , Their weaker sparks with thy illustrious light , Will lose themselves in that ambitious thought ; And yet no Fame to thee from thence he brought . We know , bless'd Spirit , thy mighty name Wants no addition of anothers beam ; It 's for our pens too high , and full of Theme : The Muses are made great by thee , not thou by them . Thy Fame 's Eternal Lamp will live , And in thy Sacred Urn survive , Without the food of Oil , which we can give . 'T is true ; but yet our duty calls our Songs , Duty Commands our Tongues . Though thou want not our praises , we Are not excus'd for what we owe to thee ; For so Men from Religion are not freed . But from the Altars clouds must rise , Though Heaven it self doth nothing need , And though the Gods don't want an earthly Sacrifice III. Great Life of wonders , whose each year Full of new Miracles did appear ! Whos 's every Month might be Alone a Chronicle , or a History ! Others great Actions are But thinly scatter'd here and there ; At best , but all one single Star ; But thine the Milky-way , All one continued light of undistinguish'd day ; They throng'd so close , that nought else could be seen , Scarce any common Sky did come between : What shall I say or where begin ? Thou may'st in double shapes be shown , Or in thy Arms , or in thy Gown ; Like Jove sometimes with Warlike Thunder , and Sometimes with peaceful Scepter in his Hand , Or in the Field , or on the Throne . In what thy Head , or what thy Arm hath done , All that thou didst was so refin'd , So full of substance , and so strongly join'd , So pure , so weighty Gold , That the least Grain of it If fully spread and beat , Would many Leaves and mighty Volumes hold ▪ IV. Before thy Name was publish'd , and whilst yet Thou only to thy self wer't great , Whilst yet thy happy bud Was not quite seen , or understood , It then sure signs of future greatness shew'd : Then thy Domestick worth Did tell the World what it would be , When it should fit occasion see , When a full Spring should call it forth : As Bodies , in the dark and night , Have the same Colours , the same red and white , As in the open Day and Light , The Sun doth only show That they are bright , not make them so : So whilst but private Walls did know What we to such a mighty Mind should owe , Then the same Vertues did appear , Though in a less and more contracted Sphere , As full , though not as large as since they were : And like great Rivers , Fountains , though At first so deep thou didst not go ; Though then thine was not so inlarg'd a Flood ; Yet when 't was little , 't was as clear as good . V. 'T is true thou wast not born unto a Crown , Thy Scepter 's not thy Father's , but thy own : Thy purple was not made at once in haste , And after many other Colours past , It took the deepest Princely Dye at last . Thou didst begin with lesser Cares , And private thoughts took up thy private Years : Those Hands , which were ordain'd by Fates , To change the World , and alter States , Practis'd at first that vast Design On meaner things with equal Mind . That Soul , which should so many Scepters sway , To whom so many Kingdoms should obey : Learned first to rule in a Domestick way : So Government it self , began From Family , and single Man , Was by the small Relations , first , Of Husband , and of Father Nurs'd , And from those less beginnings past , To spread it self o'er all the World at last . VI. But when thy Country , ( then almost enthrall'd ) Thy Vertue , and thy Courage call'd ; When England did thy Arms intreat , And 't had been Sin in thee not to be Great : When every Stream , and every Flood , Was a true Vein of Earth , and run with Blood ; When unus'd Arms , and unknown War Fill'd every Place , and ever Ear ; When the great Storms , and dismal Night Did all the Land affright ; 'T was time for thee , to bring forth all our Light. Thou left'st thy more delightful Peace , Thy private Life , and better ease ; Then down thy Steel and Armour took , Wishing that it still hung upon the Hook. When Death had got a large Commission out , Throwing her Arrows , and her Stings about ; Then thou ( as once the healing Serpent rose ) Wast lifted up , not for thy self , but us . VII . Thy Country wounded was , and sick before Thy Wars and Arms did her restore : Thou knew'st where the Disease did lie , And like the Cure of Sympathy , Thy strong , and certain Remedy , Unto the Weapon didst apply ; Thou didst not draw the Sword , and so Away the Scabbard throw ; As if thy Country shou'd Be the Inheritance of Mars and Blood ; But that when the great work was spun , War in it self should be undone ; That Peace might Land again upon the shore , Richer and better than before : The Husbandmen no Steel should know , None but the useful Iron of the Plow ; That Bays might creep on every Spear : And though our Sky was overspread With a destructive red ; 'T was but till thou our Sun didst in full Light appear . VIII . When Ajax died , the Purple Blood That from his gaping Wound had flow'd , Turn'd into Letters , every Leaf Had on it wrote his Epitaph : So from that Crimson Flood Which thou , by fate of times , wert led Unwillingly to shed , Letters , and Learning rose , and were renewed : Thou fought'st not out of Envy , Hope , or Hate , But to refine the Church and State , And like the Romans , what e'er thou In the Field of Mars didst mow , Was , that a holy Island thence might grow . Thy Wars , as Rivers raised by a Shower , With welcome Clouds do pour : Though they at first may seem , To carry all away with an inraged Stream ; Yet did not happen that they might destroy , Or the better parts annoy : But all the Filth and Mud to scour , And leave behind anothr slime , To give a Birth to a more happy Power . IX . In Fields unconquer'd , and so well Thou did'st in Battels and in Arms excel , That steely Arms themselves , might be Worn out in War as soon as thee . Success , so close upon thy Troops did wait , As if thou first had'st conquer'd Fate ; As if uncertain Victory Had been first overcome by thee ; As if her Wings were clipp'd , and could not flee , Whilst thou did'st only serve , Before thou had'st what first thou did'st deserve . Others by thee did great things do , Triumph'd'st thy self , and made'st them triumph too ; Though they above thee did appear , As yet in a more large , and higher Sphere : Thou , the great Sun gav'st Light to every Star. Thy self an Army wert alone , And mighty Troops contain'dst in one : Thy only Sword did guard the Land , Like that which flaming in the Angel's Hand , From Men God's Garden did defend : But yet thy Sword did more than his , Not only guarded , but did make this Land a Paradiee . X. Thou fought'st not to be high or great , Not for a Scepter , or a Crown , Or Ermyn , People , or the Throne : But as the Vestal Heat ▪ Thy Fire was kindled from above alone ; Religion putting on thy Shield , Brought thee victorious to the Field . Thy Arms like those , which ancient Heroes wore , Were given by the God thou did'st adore ; And all the Words thy Armies had , Were on an heavenly Anvil made ; Not Int'rest , or any weak desire Of Rule , or Empire did thy mind inspire ; Thy Valour like the holy Fire , Which did before the Persian Armies go , Liv'd in the Camp , and yet was sacred too : Thy mighty Sword anticipates , What was reserv'd for Heaven and those bless'd Seats , And makes the Church Triumphant here below . XI . Though Fortune did hang on thy Sword , And did obey thy mighty Word ; Though Fortune for thy side and thee , Forgot her lov'd Unconstancy ; Amidst thy Arms and Trophies thou Wert valiant and gentle too , Wounded'st thy self , when thou did'st kill thy Foe ; Like Steel , when it much Work has past , That which was rough does shine at last : Thy Arms by being oftner us'd did smoother grow ; Nor did thy Battels make the proud or high ; Thy Conquest rais'd the State , not thee : Thou overcam'st thy self in every Victory : As when the Sun , in a directer Line , Upon a polish'd golden Shield doth shine , The Shield reflects unto the Sun again his Light : So when the Heavens smil'd on thee in Fight , When thy propitious God had lent Success , and Victory to thy Tent , To Heav'n again the Victory was sent . XII . England till thou did'st come , Confin'd her Valour home ; Then our own Rocks did stand Bounds to our Fame as well as Land , And were to us as well , As to our Enemies unpassable . We were asham'd at what we read , And blush'd at what our Fathers did , Because we came so far behind the Dead ▪ The British Lion hung his main , and droop'd , To Slavery and Burthen stoop'd , With a degenarate Sleep and Fear Lay in his Den , and languish'd there ; At whose least Voice before , A trembling eccho ran through every Shore , And shook the World at every roar ; Thou his subdued Courage didst restore , Sharpen his Claws , and in his Eyes Mad'st the same dreadful Lightning rise ; Mad'st him again affright the Neighbouring Floods , His mighty Thunder sound through all the Woods ▪ Thou hast our Military Fame redeem'd , Which was lost , or clouded seem'd : Nay more , Heaven did by thee bestow On us , at once an Iron Age , and happy too . XIII . Till thou command'st , that Azure Chains of Waves , Which Nature round about us sent , Made us to every Pirate Slaves , Was rather Burthen than an Ornament ; Those Fields of Sea , that wash'd our Shores , Were plow'd , and reap'd by other Hands than ours . To us , the liquid Mass , Which doth about us run , As it is to the Sun , Only a Bed to sleep on was : And not , as now a powerful Throne , To shake and sway the World thereon . Our Princes in their Hand a Globe did shew , But not a perfect one , Compos'd of Earth , and Water too . But thy Commands the Floods obey'd , Thou all the Wilderness of VVater sway'd ; Thou did'st but only wed the Sea , Not make her equal , but a Slave to thee . Neptune himself did bear thy Yoke , Stoop'd , and trembled at thy stroke : He that ruled all the Main , Acknowledg'd thee his Soveraign . And now the Conquer'd Sea , doth pay More Tribute to thy Thames , than that unto the Sea. XIV . Till now our Valour did our selves more hurt ; Our VVounds to other Nations were a sport ; And as the Earth , our Land produc'd Iron and Steel , which should to tear our selves be us'd . Our strength within it self did break , Like thundring Canons crack , And kill'd those that were near , While the Enemies secur'd and untouch'd were . But now our Trumpets thou hast made to sound , Against our Enemies Walls in Foreign Ground ; And yet no eccho back to us returning found . England is now the happy peaceful Isle , And all the World the while , Is exercising Arms and Wars , With Foreign , or intestine Jars . The Torch extinguish'd here , we lend to others Oil , We give to all , yet know our selves no Fear ; We reach the Flame of Ruine , and of Death , Where e're we please , our Swords to unsheath , Whilst we in calm , and temporate Regions breath ; Like to the Sun , whose heat is hurl'd Through every Corner of the World ; Whose Flame through all the Air doth go ; And yet the Sun himself , the while no Fire doth know . XV. Besides the Glories of thy Peace , Are not in Number , nor in value less . Thy Hand did cure , and close the Stars Of our bloody Civil Wars ; Not only lanc'd ; but heal'd the Wound , Made us again as healthy , and as sound , When now the Ship was well nigh lost , After the Storm upon the Coast , By its Mariners indanger'd most ; When they their Ropes and helms had left , When the Planks asunder cleft , And Flouds came roaring in with mighty sound ; Thou a safe Land , and harbour for us found , And saved'st those that would themselves have drown'd : A Work which none but Heaven and thee could do , Thou made'st us happy ▪ whe'r we would or no : Thy Judgment , Mercy , Temperance so great , As if those Vettues only in thy Mind had seat : Thy Piety not only in the Field , but Peace , When Heaven seemed to be wanted least : Thy Temples not like Janus open were , Open in time of War , When thou hadst greater cause of fear Religion and the awe of Heaven possest All places and all times alike thy breast . XVI : Nor didst thou only for thy age provide , But for the years to come beside ; Our after-times , and late Posterity , Shall pay unto thy Fame as much as we ; They too are made by thee : When Fate did call thee to a higher Throne , And when thy Mortal Work was done , When Heaven did say it , and thou must be gone , Thou him to bear thy burthen chose , Who might ( if any could ) make us forget thy loss : Nor hadst thou him design'd , Had he not been Not only to thy Blood , but Vertue kin ; Not only Heir unto thy Throne , but Mind , 'T is he shall perfect all thy Cures , And with as fine a thread weave out thy loom : So one did bring the chosen People from Their Slavery and Fears , Led them through their pathless road , Guided himself by God. He brought them to the Borders ; but a second Hand Did settle , and secure them in the promised Land. Vpon the late Storm , and Death of the late Vsurper Oliver Cromwel ensuing the same , By Mr. Waller . WE must resign ; Heav'n his great Soul does claim , In Storms as loud , as his Immortal Fame ; His dying Groans , his last breath shakes our Isle , And trees uncut fall for his Funeral Pile . About his Palace their broad roots are tost Into the Air : So Romulus was lost . New Rome in such a Tempest mist their King , And from obeying-fell to Worshipping . On Oeta's top thus Hercules lay dead , With ruin'd Oaks and Pines about him spread ; The Poplar too , whose bough he wont to wear On his Victorious head , lay prostrate there : Those his last Fury from the Mountain rent ; Our dying Hero , from the Continent , Ravish'd whole Towns , and Forts from Spaniards reft , As his last Legacy to Britain left ; The Ocean which so long our hopes confin'd , Could give no limits to his vaster mind ; Our bounds enlargement , was his latest toil , Nor hath he left us Prisoners to our Isle : Under the Tropick is our Language spoke , And part of Flanders hath receiv'd our Yoke . From Civil broils , he did us disingage , Found Nobler Objects for our Martial rage ; And with wise Conduct to his Country show'd , Their ancient way of Conquering abroad : Ungrateful then , if we no tears allow To him , that gave us Peace and Empire too ; Princes that fear'd him , griev'd , concern'd to see No pitch of Glory from the Grave is free ; Nature her self , took notice of his Death , And sighing swell'd the Sea with such a breath , That to remotest shores her Billows rowl'd , Th' approaching Fate of her great Ruler told . FINIS .

This Prayer is not in the Hebrew , but was Translated out of the Greek by his Chaplain for the Collonels own proper use . MOst Plaguye and most Confounded Ill Fortune , Thou that didst favour Oliver , and Bulstrode , Whitlock , that didst exalt the Poor and Needy , and for many years together send the Rich empty away ; Thou didst blesse Clowns with the blessing of Mony baggs , and madest Jone as good as my Lady , why , Oh why hast Thou left me in the Mire ? I confesse Thy Afflictions are Vnsupportable , and Thy Fickle , Giddy , and Whimsical wayes , are to me unsearcheable . Yet Thou art not altogether without Compassion , Thou hast ostentimes returned to those whom Thou hast made Miserable , and made them as happy as before thou hadst rendred them Contemptible ; When wilt Thou deal so by thy Servant John Lambert ? I confesse I did Offend Thee with my Impudence , for I unseated the RUMP too soon , I vexed the City too early , and shewed my Teeth before I was well able to Bite . Yet in one thing I Obey'd Thee , for I put my Confidence in a Fool , thinking Thou hadst favoured him . If thy Maximes be not true , that was none of my fault . Thou didst help me out of the Tower by Thy Favour ; but Thou didst very discourteously suffer me to be taken again ( Hells Curse light on Thee ) and now my Transgressions , are multiplye'd before my Enemies : So that I am only leapt out of the Frying-pan into the Fyre . How long Ill Luck wilt Thou knit Thy Brows ; and Frown upon him that was once Thy Darling . Remember what Thou hast béen toward me , and for shame let not all the World sée what an unconstant Whore Thou art : Yet if Thou bée'st resolv'd to make me the Sport of thy wanton Hours , I beséech Thee to provide well for my Daughter the Infanta of Wimbleton , and suffer her not to be jeer'd to Death for the Folly of her Father ; take not from my Wife the Comforts of the New Exchange , but enlarge the Hearts and Purses of the Sectary's towards her , that she may not be forc'd to keep in and sigh in Fair Weather , but may still visit Hide-Park and the Spring-Garden , with a Pomp befitting their Generals Wife . And as for my self deliver me out of Prison if it be Thy Will , least a worse thing befall me , for I hear Innocent blood , and that Royal too crying out for revenge . Oh grant that the Portugal Embassador may beg me , and send me out of the noise on 't , where it may happen that by Thy Favour I may be Protector in a strange Country , that am so much despised in my own . But if Thou wilt have me Dye , Mazzle up the Mouth of gaping History , that it may not publish my Dishonor , and the ill Successe of my Rebellion , my Effeminate Escape , and pittiful Submission in the Field . More I might say , Dear Goddesse ; But I never us'd to pray long , or much : And therefore do but help me out at this dead lift ; and Thou shalt be my only Deity , to which I and my Successors will ascribe all our praises while the World endures .

And where is Prynne and Poyntz now gone , To purge them of the scurvy ? And Glyn and Lewis have left all , Within at six and sevens ; And Waller 's gone to Glocester-Hall To visit Mrs. Stevens .

O brave Common-Counsell men , &c. 6 And now the Royallists will sing , Aloud Vive le Roy ; The Commons will imbrace their King , With an unwonted joy : And where 's now all your coine and toile , 'T is vanish'd into aire : You may get more , if that you moile Now at S. Bartholmews Faire . O brave Common-Counsell men , &c. 7 If Fairfax now his Soveraigne bring To London , to his People , Each Parish bells for joy shall ring , Till they knock down the steeple : And we Sir Thomas his renown VVill like S. Georges hallow , Tom May shall all his acts write downe , Or Withers that Apollo . O brave Common-Counsell men , &c. 8 The Scots doe whine that they have lost Their hopes at once : deare Jockey , Thy fine Presbyterie quite is crost , The English doe but mock yee : The coine that is behind of pay , For selling of the King , You 'l have the cleane contrary way , Sir Thomas will it bring . O Brave Common-Counsell men , &c. 9 The Trained Bands alas are tyr'd , Their works they cannot man them , And therefore have , the Army hyr'd , Who like to chaffe doe fan them : The Tower too great a trouble was , They wanted a Constable ; And therefore they did bring 't to passe , Sir Thomas might be able . O Brave Common-Counsell men , &c. 10 Case now doth doubt , calamitie Will seize on the Presbyterie , Calamie doubts , the case will bee So as to see 't were pitie : The Synod now doth greatly doubt , That Bishops , and the Service , Will now once more be brought about , Before it please Tom Gervice , O brave Common-Counsell men , &c. 11 Overton now may walke abroad , Stone walls are weak to hold him ; As Lilburne that same Demie-god , Prophetickly hath told him : And you may goe , and shake your eares , Who had , and could not hold it , What you had strove for many yeares , And got ; you now have sold it . O brave Common-Counsell men &c. 12 You need not now to Westminster To march with Fife and Drumme , The Army so your goods preferre , They will supplie your roome . The Modells now and you may lie , Abed till noone , and please yee ; The Armie , will your place supplie , All this is done to ease yee . O brave Common-Counsell men &c. 13 And now what doe ye lack fond men , Alas you wanted knowledge : Who would have thoght , when you had been So long at Gotham Colledge , You should not know to bargaine well , But so to maime your Charter : The after-Ages will you tell , You did not wisely barter . O brave Common-Counsell men O brave Trained-bands ! When doe you think to get againe The staffe in your own hands ? FINIS . Printed in the Yeere 1647.

O That mine Eyes were a continual River Of briny tears , that I might weep for ever , To see the Woes that Mortals do attend For Sin , yet men will not their Lives amend . Democritus . I laugh to see so many men grow mad , ( Like fools ) to loose what Liberty they had By seeking more ; and for believing lyes , Are come in Bondage to their Enemies . Herac . Alas ! I grieve to see that woes of Albion , ( Once happy Seat of Learning and Religion ) Now ( sad ) become the Stage of Villany , Of Vice , the Mother , under Tyranny . Dem. I nothing view upon the Stage of Albion , At present , but a Chaos of Confusion , Where Hell-spur'd Pluto in a godly guise , Doth play Guvanto 'gainst the Christmas-Pyes . Herac . I much lament to see his Oylie-Head ( Whose Hand th' Almighty treble Sceptered ) Upon a Block of Impudence most great , And wilful murther'd near his sacred Seat . Dem. It s not a sport to see the ignoble Groom Swording and swaggering in his Soveraign room , And when he please to speak but half a word , He must reply him with an , Yes my Lord . Herac . I melt in tears to see the Rebels reign In Court and City with their hungry train , That like Purse-Leeches in the Lawyers Inn , Sucks others Wealth , to enrich their begging Kin . Dem. Who can but laugh to see the Cobling Clown ( And dirty Dray-man ) in a Scarlet-Gown Lord it along ? Sure 't is a wondrous Fate To see such Monsters in a Robe of State . Herac . O 't is a grief to see that wicked weal'd The Sword and Scepter that so long upheld Justice and Truth ; but now profound , profane Hypocrisie , with Schism and Error reign . Dem. I burst almost with laughter when I view So many Polips in an humble hue , Yet under hand , with a stock of Impudence , Strive for the Title of , His Excellence . Herac . O , who can see the People by rebellion Destroy the Fountain of well-ordered Union , And their Allegeance basely basterdize To those that over them doth tyrannize . Dem. I laugh to see how Fortune ( wrong or right ) Doth ( blind-fold ) make of any Knave , a Knight ; Dis-thrones a Monarch by unheard of Fate , And lifts a Lobster to a Chair of State . Herac . O! canst thou laugh to see the Martial Sword ( At pleasure ) make of any Lout a Lord , And such as are willing to be their constant slaves , Are forc't to suffer for cowardly Knaves . Dem. Weep if you list , and I will laugh it out , To see blind Fortune throw the Ball about ; One while a Villain she doth inthronise , And with a worse doth him anon chastise . Herac . I can but weep to see the once famous City Slav'd to the will of an Unsafe Committy ; Threatned with throws of furious Fire-balls , And many murthered then within our Walls . Dem. I cannot well their woful case bemoan , That factious slaves do for their Rulers own , Who strongly strive for to destroy the State , And make all men believe that they do plunder hate . Her.

Lament no more , Heraclitus , to see The louzie Lobsters in such state to be , Murthering like monsters such as them oppose , For to maintain their Bastard Good Old Cause . Her. The Cause was good , had they their Oaths perform'd , But fickle faction hath it so deform'd , Now vice is crept into our once happy Land , But yet we hope it hath not long to stand . Dem. 'T is a sport to see the City be a Baud , To any Tyrant , and his train applaud : And some therein are so faint-heart and evil , To save estates they will adore the Devil . Her. Still more I grieve to see the Church despis'd By Sacrilegers , that new waies devised For their will-worship ; and far past all awe Profane , presume to jeer the sacred Law . Dem. And more I laugh to hear Mr. Mend-all Tinker and Tailot , Mr. Spare and Spend-all Think they can preach profound as any Doctor With their new Logick , and exceed the Proctor . Her. What Clime , what Time , what Age , what Nation , What grave Historian worthy reputation , Did ever note before these dayes of mine , So many wresters of the law Divine . Dem. I laugh to see such as with solemn Vows Pluralities of Churches disallows ; Be priests , be prophets , be both Judge and Jaylors , And for large stealing do exceed the Taylors . Her. I much bemoan to see the crimson hands That slew their neighbours , ther'by to gain their Lands , Be Knaves , be Keepers , be High Chancellors , Be Clerks , be Truck-men , and be Treasurers . Dem. 'T is better for thee to preserve thine eyes , And lament not our sad calamities : T is vain to weep for such as hast to hell , And so my friend Heraclitus farewel . G. P.

Ordered by the Ladies assembled in Parliament , that these their Votes , Orders , and Declarations , be forthwith Printed and Published . T. Temple Cler. Mrs Martha Peele Messenger . Printed in the Yeare 1647. The Parliament of Ladies . Secunda Pars THE Ladies well affected , whom in my first , I told you were Assembled at Spring Garden , and upon emergent occasion , had adjourned their House , for that while they were imployed about the ●ff●yres of the publ●cke , their Lords had a 〈…〉 to hunt forbi●den G●me ; and ta●●● 〈…〉 ure consideration , that it is a su●e axiome , 〈◊〉 begins at home , they held it convenient , to ad 〈…〉 for a certaine time ; and h●ving reduced their L 〈…〉 to a privation to assemble 〈…〉 meet in Parliament a● b●fo●e : for that Ph●losophicall Lady , the Lady May had s●yd , that the acts of Governours , cannot p●ssibly have any strong influence upon the publicke , so long as things were not punctually p●rformed at home ; but no sooner had the Ladies effected their wishes , and having by their earnest allurements , constrayned their Lords to hunt the game more often then they were willing to do , especially in their owne ( — ) berries , so sufficiently abated their affections to that sport , that they began to be altogether weary and tyred , vowing for the future , that to hunt their owne game , was enough and more , then the state of their bodies required ; the Ladies with a great deal of jucundity and contentment , assembled themselves together againe . In the first place they tooke into consideration , the sale of the Bishops Lands , and upon the Question resolved : That the Bishopricke of Lincolne , of Worcester , of Ely , and Durham , should remayn intire ; for that though the Bishops of those Sees , had in other matters of concernment , shewed themselves very averse , yet to the Ladies assembled , they had beene very free and cordiall , even to their utmost abilities , and had in some private performances , ayded them more strongly then any secular man whatsoever . That the Lady Denbigh should have power to instate the Bishop of Lincolne in his See , the Lady Middlesex the B●shop of Ely the Lady Scot the Bishop of Durham , the Lady Stanford the B●shop of Worcester , each of these L●d●es to have power respectively , to settle the sayd Bishops in their first and full power ; and in c●se of resistance , to arme the well affected of the Country against those that shall make opposition : but with this proviso , that for the future , the sayd Ladies shall not ingrosse to themselves , all the performances of these Clergy men as before , but that their abilities shall be esteemed for the use of the whole House in generall . Resolved upon the Question . That the Lands and Revenews belonging to the Sees of Canterbury and Yorke be sold , to a molehill , for that the Bishops of those Diocesses , have from the beginning , beene observed to be nothing well affected to the desires of the House ; and that no notable thing is recorded that they have ever done demonstratively , shewing their willingnesse and ability , but that they ever gathered money , and but seldome coverd ( — ) . That the Lady Oxford , the Lady May ; and the Lady Tufton , be appointed and furnished with power to accomplish the Order of the house ; and the rather , for that the extreame hate the sayd Ladies beare to those men , of what ranke soever , that were not willing , to their utmost abilities , to accomplish the will of the House , would be a sufficient instigation to incite them to proceed with vigor . While these things were in agitation , in comes a Messenger from the House of Commons , desiring their Ladish●ps concurrence with an Order to be issued out by the authority of both Houses , viz. that all Malignant Ministers should be prohibited from entring into pulpets , for that many of them , contrary to a former expresse Order , preached each Sabbath day , both in City and Country , divulging doctrine of very dangerous consequence , and scandalous to the Houses ; their Ladiships heereupon , fell into debate , and had much controverting about the word En●er , the Lady Barrington affirming , that the Commons by this , made an absolute intrenchment on their priviledges : for though to the Commons it would cause no detriment , yet to them the abridgement of Entrance , might occasion much sorrow and vexation , being one of their chiefe immunities ; they therefore returned Answer , that they could not passe it , for that to divers of the Malignant Ministers , viz. Dr. Griffin , Mr. ●ieve , Mr. Cady , cum multis aliis , they were infinitely ingaged , as to men that had entred their pulpits to their exceeding comforts , when as they were altogether destitute of consolation ; the one at Abington , the other at Maidstone , the other at Stoke , upon which the businesse was waved , and proceeded no farther . The House then appointed Committees , viz. the Lady Newport , the Lady Buckingham , and the Lady Carlile , to see to the compounding of Delinquents for their estates ; the Lady Carlile , notwithstanding her age , and uglinesse , would not come to composition with Arundell , for his Delinquency in deserting and complying with the Lady Tuften : Captaine Edwards was also brought in for a Delinquent ; but he ap●log●zed for himselfe , that he would not have forsaken the service of the State , and in particular of the Lady Newport , but that he observed that her ( — ) was like a well , alwaies exhausted with two buckets , for that he was no sooner out but Waller was in , and therefore he was the more to be excused , for that he left not the said Lady altogether destitute of a — &c. This day a Petition came from the Lady Waller , desiring that she might be restored againe to her place in the House , pro●esting that she was well affected , though her Knight were fled away with Maynard , and Massey ; but it was alledged against her , that she was utterly ●ncapable of sitting in Parliament , for that while her Knight with Glin , and Stapleton , were indeavouring a new war , she also was found in armes under Col. Pointz ; but upon her importunity , the businesse was put off for another dayes hearing . The House then tooke into consideration the impious act of the Lady Powland , who changing the English , for French ayre , had entred into a Monastery , & was become a Nunne : the House considering the great prejudice that this her example might produce , voted her guilty of high Tre●son , and that whensoever shee should be taken , shee should suffer as a Traytor ; and to prevent the like danger , for the future , made this ensuing Order , and then adjourned for that day . Die Veneris , August 6. 1647. The Ladies Assembled in Parliament , taking into consideration the late Act of the Lady Powland , who contrary to the Law of nature , and sense of the house , hath forsaken the society of men , to be a recluse , o● c●oistered Nunne , and not without griefe beholding the effects , which such an example may occasion , doe order , and decree , that the said Lady Powland for her fact so committed , shall suffer death without mercy , if she ever be taken : and for the future , they ordaine that none shal be so hardy as to attempt the like , under paine of forfeiting life and estate ; but shall to their u●most abilities strive to increase and multiply , and for their incouragement therein , it is by these presents ordained by the Ladies Assembled in Parliament , that the Females of great Brittaine sh●ll have free leave , and license in case of their husbands disability , to use the performances of their eldest servant , and if he faile , of their neere neighbour , and this without scruple or question . T. Temple Clarke . The Ladies assembling againe the next day , The first businesse was a report from the Committee for Delinquents estates , who named in the first place , the right Honorable , the Lord Mountague , who was impeached for a Delinquent to the house , and had deserted the Lady Virrian , and had allied himselfe to the Lady Kirbe ; but the house taking into consideration his former speciall services to many of them in generall , and in particular to the Lady Bedford , and the Lady Stamford , the Lady Stamford avouching that he was a man well gifted , and had a large tallent , and one that had indured many dangerous incounters in the service of the house , and had been in the Chyrurgions hands , they therefore ordered that his delinquency should be taken off , and he to have free leave to be at the service of the Lady Kirbe , &c. It was moved then , by the learned Lady , the Lady May , that the day of humiliation might be appointed to implore a blessing on the indeavours of men , and that they might be inabled to goe through stitch with their undertakings , and become every day more and more active , which was passed , and a Messenger sent to the Commons for their concurrence . Their Ladiships then received word that a Messenger waited at the doore , sent from the house of Commons , to wit , Mr. Howard , and Mrs. Glescoth , who being admitted in , delivered their bill , which was to desire their concurrence to a Petition with Propositions to be sent to his Majesty for a safe and well grounded peace , which their Ladiships passed , and ordered the Lady Thinne and the Lady May , to joyne with two of the House of Commons , and they joyntly to be urgent upon his Majesty to signe the Propositions , and so for that day adjourned their house . The next day the house being met , a Petition was delivered , intituled the humble Petition of many thousands of Citizens Wives , in and about the City of London , the substance of which was , that whereas divers weake persons were crept into places , beyond their abilitie , and had undertaken that which the Petitioners found by common experience , they were not able to performe , they therefore desired that men of abler parts , and greater abilities , might be put in their roomes ; which would be to the Petitioners infinite advantage , the house having heard their Petition , ordered hearty thankes to be given them , for their good affections to the State , and that the Lady Devonshire , the Lady Middlesex , and the Lady Bullinbrooke , should be a Committee appointed to consider of this businesse . It was then mooved by the Lady Norton , that a day of thanksgiving might be appointed for the Armies happy entrance into the City without tumult , for the exceeding great indeavours of the Commanders of the Army to pleasure the house , thankes returned to Sir Thomas Fairefax for his many able performances in the service of the Lady Denbigh , to Cromwell for his valiant charging performed in the service of the Lady Newport , which Order being sent to the Commons for their concurrence , they sent it back with their assent and additions ; that thankes also should be given , that they had so fairely drawne their necks out of the collar , and had laid the weight of their owne crimes , upon the backs of Waller , Massey , and Pointz , leaving those lesse interressed in the impeachment then themselves in the lurch ; Mr. Craddock desired to preach in the forenoone ▪ but the Sermon to be in English , and not in Welsh , and notice to be given him that he should have care not to blurt out the language of the Cambro-Brittanians , instead of the Romans , as he did once at St. Michaels Cornehill ; Mr. Case to be in the afternoone , and that he be desired to pray with his eyes open , and not to offer up his orisons blindly , that is to say , with hipocriticall confidence , and that Mrs. Cooke be prohibited from accompanying him three dayes afore , lest he suffer some diminution of memory . Word was brought in that Mr. Peters stood at the doore , and had a message of import to relate to the house , who immediately commanded him to be brought in ; who after obeisance told them , that he gave thankes to God , who had appointed him to be the happy Messenger of blisfull newes , to wit , that Digby was againe reconciled to the Lady Tuften , and once more doted upon this painted face , which newes because it highly pleased the house ; they ordered Mr. Peters twenty pounds for a gratuity , and that he should prepare himselfe to preach before them the next Fast day ; for that they intended then to be very merry . A Paper was drawne up , and sent to the Synod , by especiall order from the House , desiring them to give a speedy answer to the satisfaction of the house , to these following questions . F●rst , what is meant by that place where it is said , and Iud●h went in unto her , and lay with her , and why there is such a Tautology ? Secondly , by what meanes came it to passe that Lot was able to performe the act of generation with his two Daughters , and to ply his businesse so notably , as to get them with child , and yet not know when they lay downe , nor when they rose up ? The Messenger bearing this Order to the Assembly , they returned answer , that they would give a solution to these Queries with all convenient speede . A complaint was brought in against one Paul Best , who had broached many damnable , and hereticall Doctrines , amongst the rest one was , that women were uncapable of eternity , as wanting that immortall substance , which was injected into Adam , to wit the soule ; and his reason was , for that he read that God breathed into Adam , and he became a living soule ; but woman was made of man , participating only of his earthly substance , no mention of any soule infused into her ; for he said woman was ordained only for the earth , but man only for heaven , and this he said was the reason that women were so sensuall of such ravenous , and infatiate appetites , being like other creatures only of the earth , earthly : the house having heard the contents of the complaint , became greatly inraged , and ordered that the bookes or pamphlets , which the said Paul Best had compiled , and divulged , maintaining this errour , should be gathered together , and openly burnt by the common hangman , himselfe to be kept close Prisoner till further order , and in the meane time a Declaration to be set forth evidently proving that women have soules ; the chiefe argument to be this , that seeing the Divell is a spirit without a body , and yet is c●p●ble of eternity ; so women being bodies without soules , may also be capable of eternity . Then the Ladies tooke into consideration the great decay of Males , occasioned by the late unnaturall warre , and therefore ordered . Die Mercur. August 13. 1647. It is by these presents Ordered and Decreed , by the Ladies assembled in Parliament , That forasmuch , as by the late unnaturall Warre , many men of great abilities and able performances , were cut off , not only to the prejudice of this House , but of the whole Kingdome , as by severall Petitions from many thousands of unsupplied Women , may appeare : Be it therefore Ordered and Ordayned , for the more speedy replenishing of the Kingdome , that it shall be lawfull , for the time to come , for any Woman Venereously inclined , and capable of more then is put upon her , to use the ayd and assistance , not onely of the men of her owne Nation , but also of any other Forraigner , whether Frnchman , Spaniard , or German , to the end there may be aspeedy supply of Males for those were lately massacred , and the Kingdome furnished with able and active men , T. Temple Cler. Parl. The H●use then adjourned for that day , and on the morrow assembled againe , where the first thing they ●ell upon , was , a Complaint the was made against Players , who contrary to an Ordinance , had se● up shop againe , and ●cted divers P●ayes , at the two hous●s , the Fortune , and Salisbury Court . Whereupon it was demanded what Plaies they were , and answer being given , that one of them was the scornefull Lady , the house tooke it in high disdaine , and as an absolute contemp of their power ; and therefore ordered that Alderman Atkins should make a journey on purpose to suppresse them ; and also ordered that an Act sh●uld be passed to prohibit that Play to be herafter acted ; but divers Ladies were offended at this Order , intended for the supp●essing of Playes , as the Lady Munmouth who lik't Sir Iohn Suck●ins play so well , that she p●wned her Jewels to maintayne his backe : and the Lady Stanford , Franke Beaumonts Play so well , setting his Scornfull Lady aside , shee would often admit him in , when her Lord was kept at staves end : a great confusion happening about this businesse of Playes , they at length concluded , that a Committee of Ladies should be chosen on purpose to consider of this businesse . Their Ladiships then taking into considerations , the many pressing affayres which they were like to lie under , Ordered , that Dr. Strickland , and Dr. Burges , ( a man furnished with a large talent ) and Doctor Chamber laine , should be Assistants to the House , that so the Ladies might receive such comfortable distillations , as those worthy men were able to affoord them . In the last place , the Ladies being to adjourne , for some Months , sent to the Assembly of Divines , to know whether they had according to their desires , wrote any thing tending to the solution of the Questions by them propounded ; but Answer being returned , that the Assembly of Divines were now in deepe Consultation , to proove that the two lewd Elders , who tempted Susanna to wickednesse , might have a Dispensation from the Nationall Assembly ; the Ladies were content to bee resolved at their leysure : and having Ordered these their proceedings to bee Printed and Published , adjourned their House . The End .

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible.

Had Dives for thy scorching moysture cry'd , Abr'am in mercy had his suite deny'd : Or Bonner known thy force , the Martyrs blood Had Siss'd in thee and sav'd the Nations wood . Essence of Embers , Scum of melting Flint , With all the Native sparkles floating in 't . Sure the black Chymist with the cloven Foot All Aetna's Simples in his ' Limbeck put , And double still'd , nay Quintessenc'd thy Juice , To charcoal Mortals for his future use . Fire-ship to Nature , who do'st doubly wound , For those that graple thee , are burnt and drown'd . As when Heav'n pressd th' Auxil'arys of Hell , A flaming storm on curse'd , Sodom fell . And when it 's single Plagues could not prevail , Egypt was scal't with kindled Rain and Hail : So Natures feuds are reconcil'd in thee , Thou two great Judgements in Epitomy : God's past and future anger breaths in you A Deluge and a Conflagration too .

The moving Glass-house lightens with his Eyes , Singes his Cloaths and all his marrow fries ; Glows for a while , and then in Ashes dies . Thus like a sham Prometheus , we find Thou stealest a fire from Hell to kill Mankind . But hold — lest we the Saints dire anger merit , By stinting their Auxiliary Spirit : We hear of late , whate're wicked think , Thou art reform'd and turn'd a Godly drink : And doubtless thou' rt con-natural to them , For both thy Spirit and theirs abound in Phlegm ; ' Ere since the Publick Faith for Plate did wimble , And sanctifi'd thy Gill with Hannah's Thimble : Thou left'st thy old bad Company of Vermin , The Drunken Porters , and the swearing Carr-men ; And the lewd Drivers of the Hackney Coaches , And now tak'st up with sage discreet Debauches ; Thou freely drop'st upon Gold Chains and Fur , And Sots of Quality thy Minions are . No more shalt thou foment an Ale-house brawle , But the more sober Riots at Guild-hall , Where , by thy Spirits fallible direction , The Reprobates stood Poling for Election . If this trade holds , what will the wicked doe ? The Saints sequester ev'n their Vices too , For since the Art of Whoring's grown precise , And Perjury hath got demurer Eyes ; 'T is time , high time to circumcise the Gill , And not let drinking be Philistian still . Go then thou Emblem of their torrid Zeal , Add flame to flame and their stiff tempers Neal , 'Till they grow ductile to the Publick Weale . And since the Godly have espous'd thy Cause , Don't fill their heads with Libertys and Laws , Religion , Privilege , and lawless Charters , Mind them of Falstaffs Heir apparent Garters , And keep their outward Man from Ketches Quarters . One Caution more ( now we are out of hearing Many have died of drinking , some of swearing ; If these two Pests should in Conjunction meet , The grass wou'd quickly grow in every street : Save thou the Nation from that double blow , And keep thy fire from Salamanca T O.
