THE Petition of Themis AGAINST THE Salamancha Fiend.  
The humble Petition and Complaint of the Virgin THEMIS,  
SHEWETH,  
THat She hath been shamefully deflowered, Ravished, and Dishonoured, by an infamous proffigate Wretch, called by the name of T.— O—, and formerly styled the Salamanca Doctor; but that learned University hath generously done itself that Justice, as to disown ever to have known, or to have been concerned with ●o great a Villain; though( notwithstanding his very name is a scandal to the Protestant Religion) he is in this Kingdom permitted to wear the caconical rob; to bear the name of Priest, and Doctor of the Church; and yet it is believed he never received any Orders in the Church of England, or any Church whatsoever. What is this, but to be ▪ paw our reformed Church, and make it stink in the nostrils of every rational man? when such Brutes, such Animals as these, which are neither Priests nor Christians, are [ Nemine Contradicente] admitted to be the Supporters and Pillars of the Church o● God. Nay, so far hath his notorious Perjuries, his shameful Boldness, his Diabolical Machinations, his Witchcraft, his Art magic, or something worse( I know not what to call it) prevailed upon the minds of the People of this Kingdom, that no sooner did this Monster appear, but immediately all the Faction went to work to pull down and destroy the Image of the Saviour of the World, that his memory might for ever be forgotten; and this Devil be erected in his place, as the only Saviour o● us all, and of this Nation: for Saviour of the Nation is the title once was given him.  
In the year 1678. did this ugly Fiend appear in this Kingdom,( sent, no doubt, from Hall) to speak the Prologue to a most Horrid, Hellish Damnable, fanatical Conspiracy. The Prologue,( 'tis true) was an ugly frightful sound, a Popish Plot; but the bloody Tragedy which followed, proved a most inhuman direful Conspiracy indeed, too black for Hell, where certainly it was hatched, but here to be acted by the Sober Party: And the business to be done, was, the Destruction of your Sacred Majesty, the Protestant Religion, and Government; and 'tis no wonder if it was to the amazement of your Majesty and your nutshell since all the world who heard of it stood at gaze, and knew not what to say or think.  
'Tis not ●o be wondered at if your Majesty thought yourself unsafe till this fanatical lot( which was christened a Popish One) was searched to the bottom; But now at last, by Heavens Providence and your Majesties care, we are come to the very root of it, and every eye that is but half open sees the Engines, and whole contrivance of this direful Machination: To go about to prove it to your Majesty, and your Honourable nutshell, that we have been all tri●k'd, shammed and abused by the perjuries of this Villain O—, who, at the same time that he pretended to swear For your Majesty, swore Against you; when he seemed concerned for your Sacred Person, and your Kingdoms Preservation, he was actually destroying it; and at that very time when he made all the World believe that his great care was to defend your Majesties Li●e, was this Rogue designing to murder you: I say, to go about to prove this, would be to imagine all the World blind, that all Mankind were metamorphosed into bats and Owls; it would be to seek the Sun with a Torch at Noon-day.  
The premises considered, your Petitioner humbly preys, That the villainies of this impudent Fellow may farther be detected in some of your Majesties Courts of Judicature, and that he may have a ●●st f●●ward for all the Bloody Service he hath done the Devil and the Lord Shaftsbury; That all his Perjuries may be summ'd-up, and proved against him; That all his Contradictions may be reckoned, and in gross laid before him; That the huge Sea of innocent Blood which he hath  shed may be produced, to cry out aloud against this Murderer for Justice; That his foul mouth may be opened wide, that each one may see the Hell that is there; That his viperous Tongue may be drawn forth, that all the World may see how it is infected with a killing poison, and that his horrid Blasphemies may there appear in their natural colours; That his beastly Buggeries may be proved upon him, and that the foul Monster may appear in its own shape, which is no other than a prodigious lump of Deformity: And this being done, your Petitioner humbly preys, That judgement may be pronounced. First, That he may be degraded from the Name and Title of Priest and Doctor; which is all he ever had; the Character we know he never received, though he hath been, and is permitted to exercise that Function, and swear In verbo Sacerdoris, Secondly, That his Canon call rob be plucked over his ears.  
In a word, to make reparation to my Honour, and Innocency, let us see this shameless Villain strip'd naked, and fast bound at the foot of the Monument, stigmatized with the infamous Characters of his life, viz. Infidelity, Atheism, Lying, Perjury, Blasphemy, Buggery, Treason, Pillage, Napine, sacrilege, Murder, Impudence, Ignorance, no Christian, no Priest, no Doctor, no Saviour, but a Devil without a cloven Foot.  
Thus, Dread Monarch, let us see this Monster exposed to the scorn and derision of all the world, that he may be a terror to Posterity and future Ages; And your Petitioner( as in duty bound) shall ever pray for your Majesties Health, long Life, and happy Reign, &c.  
THEMIS.
