THE Quakers Farewell to England, OR Their Voyage to New Jersey, situate on the Continent of Virginia, and bordering upon New England.  
To the Tune of, The Independe●●●s Voyage to New England.  

COme Friends let's away,  
Since our Yea and Nay  
I● England is now slighted,  
To the Indians we'll go,  
And our Lights to them show,  
That they be no longer benighted.   

We'll teach them to Quake,  
And wry Mouths to make,  
And pretend Inspiration;  
That the Priests that are there  
Shall readily swear,  
We worship the Gods of their Nation.   

For each FRITAZIER  
Is inspired there  
When the Spirit into him does enter,  
And turns up his Eyes,  
And trembles likewise:  
A Sy●●k without peradventure.   

Yet the World's People  
That worships at the Steeple,  
Will confidently aver it,  
(Though it be a thing uncivil)  
That it is the Devil  
That both of us call the Spirit.   

Yet be it what it will  
So we get our fill  
Of Riches, and good possessions;  
When occasion shall be,  
We can change, you shall see,  
Both Habits and Our Professions.   

The Country is good,  
There's no want of Food;  
'Tis fit for the Righteous to live in.  
Nor need Sisters fear,  
But this Country Cheer  
Will make them plump and thriving.   

For 'tis very meet  
That such should well eat,  
And farther Propagation,  
Or else ISRAEL'S Race  
Will decay apace,  
And low us a mock to the Nation.   

There shall we be free,  
And enjoy LIBERTY,  
No power our Will controls;  
Then what greater Bliss  
Could any of us wish,  
〈◊〉 desire from our ●●●y Souls?   

With the HOPE and the TURK  
We before made no work;  
But if either now comes near us,  
We'll let them both know,  
That power we have now  
Shall make them to Quake and fear us.   

Neither IVES nor HICKS  
With all their Tricks  
Shall baffle our Inspiration:  
We'll make them to bend  
If they date here contend,  
And come to a Recantation.   

These BAPTISTS, Alas!  
Had a very bad Case  
To prove no Christianity  
In Quakers in found,  
Since we have good ground  
For what we pretend to be.   

Then why do we stay,  
And make such delay,  
When we to a Canaan are going?  
For who stays behind  
May afterwards find,  
That it may cause their undoing.   

They have proved already  
Our Faith is not steady;  
Therefore we no Christians can be.  
Then next they will prove,  
(If we do not remove)  
Us guilty of Heresy.   

Then will they perplex,  
And the Outward Man vex;  
We shall have no peace in our Quarters:  
But if we get away,  
The INFORMERS may  
Go hang themselves in their own Garters.   

In this Land we can live,  
Get Money and thrive,  
And follow our own Inventions  
In spite of all those  
That seek to oppose  
Our Zeal, or its pretensions.   

To New JERSET WITH speed  
Come all Friends that need.  
Wealth, or large Possessions;  
The Indians we'll make  
To serve us and Quake,  
And be Slaves to our Professions.   

What they have is our own.  
As plainly shall be shown;  
For before us, Israel's Race  
The Canaanites did spoil,  
And make them turmoil  
For them in their own place.    

With Allowance.
