A New SONG.  
To the Tune of, A Beggar I will be, etc.  

PRay listen well, while I describe a Trimmer in the Church,  
Who Preaches oft, but for the Prayers he'll leave you in the lurch;  
For a Trimmer He will be, will be; for a Trimmer he will be.   

And here in the Pulpit, a Trimmer you will find  
With Trimming coldness in his Mouth, but Treason in his Mind;  
For a Trimmer, etc.   

This Trimmer, to play the Rogue with a better Grace,  
Chose, out of the whole Land, to marry into Cromwell's Race;  
Thus a Trimmer, etc.   

This Trimmer the Engagement took during Cromwell's Reign,  
But at the Restauration he spewed it up again;  
Yet a Trimmer, etc.   

Thus this Trimmer, when uppermost, he chose the Rebel's side;  
But when the King came in again, he straight swum with the Tide;  
For a Trimmer, etc.   

This Trimmer so profits by his Prince's coming in,  
That from a Non-Conformist-Preacher, up he starts a Dean;  
Yet a Trimmer, etc.   

This Trimmer, as soon as he Preferment gets,  
Immediately discovers he has not left his Cheats,  
But a Trimmer still, etc.   

What worse could this Trimmer do, his Function to disgrace,  
Than being got into the Church, the Altar to deface?  
Thus a Trimmer, etc.   

No sooner is a foolish Lord for a Traitor known,  
But he justifies his Loyalty, and confirms it by his own;  
For a Trimmer, etc.   

This Trimmer instructs this Traitor how to die;  
But when he's questioned for't, he sticks not at a Lie;  
T●us a Trimmer, etc.   

This Trimmer has a Brother Scot, as great a R— e as he,  
Supporter, and Speech-maker chief, to th' whole Conspiracy;  
For Trimmers they, etc.   

This Trimmer Scot to stay to swing was loath,  
But has left his Brother Trimmer here, I hope will hang for Both;  
For Trimmers They will be, will be; for Trimmers They will be.   
FINIS.
