Reverend Assembly, up arise and jog,  
For you have fairly fished, and caught a frog:  
Now you have sat four years, pray can you tell  
A man the way, that Christ went down to Hell.  
In these two years, what can a wise man think,  
That you have done aught else, but eat and drink:  
Presbytery climbed to the top of fame,  
Directory and all from Scotland came;  
O monstrous idleness, alack and welly,  
Our learned Clergy mind nought but their belly.   

Judas 17, 18, 19  
Beloved, remember the words that were spoken by the Apostles and our Lord Jesus Christ.  
How they told you there should be mockers in the last times, who should walk after their ungodly lusts.  
These are they that separate themselves sensual having not the spirit.  
These are they that make it their common practice and delight to cast reproach and contempt upon the Gospel, and the faithful Messengers and Ministers thereof.
