An Exposition of the Brownists Pater-noster.  

Bless us good Lord from that dull Sect, that say  
We err in twice repeating when we pray,  
Our Father   

They think themselves made of a purer clod,  
And give us ●ost, forbid it, O my God.  
which art in Heaven,   

By them Barnes. Stables or what rooms you see  
More than our Churches are esteemed to be.  
Hallowed   

The Word, the Word, they cry by them is teached;  
But grant, good God by better scholars Preached:  
Be thy Name,   

The way, next Faith, I am addressed to go,  
Is Prayer, surely which must lead me too  
Thy kingdom   

Yet lest our Bells Ring out, they are forgot  
For to our Common Prayers they will not  
Come   

When I was blessed from learnt Armah▪ to hear  
And honoured Potter of the self same Sphere,  
thy Will   

Hours were but Minutes, but when these persevere,  
In tedious Preachments, I think they will never,  
be done   

Doctrine and Use Men of a tedious rarity  
Which both in Church and State requires a parity.  
in Earth,   

These we must hear by Inspiration raised,  
And most presumptuous▪ think thy Name so praised,  
As it is in Heaven,   

But Lord unto thy Zion, be not cruel.  
Such as were Whitgift, Nowell; Hooker, jewel,  
Give us   

We have a Prideaux, Collins, and so many  
Their Sons more learnt no Christian Church hath any,  
this Day   

By whom if we their gifts do nor abhor,  
We may be well instructed to pray for,  
Our daily Bread.   

But these the sole Elect, long breathed Men,  
For our sad patience do prolong again,  
And forgive us   

That they speak not of counsels schoolmen Fathers  
Is not their Ignorance but they are rather  
Our Trspasses.   

Which hinder us from things to be imparted,  
To none so foul and so polluted hearted  
As we   

Their semigraduates, Pedants, who knows who,  
Come up and teach us thus, and then we do,  
Forgive them   

Their first place, last place fifteen times said o'er  
Moreover, and besides, and furthermore;  
that trespass   

Upon all Christian patience, must be heard  
For else▪ next time, a Sermon is prepared  
Against us.   

And if Episcopacy be put down  
A Tradesman will step up in every town.  
And lead us   

But whether they know not, nor greatly care,  
So they have their opinions, that Bishops are  
not   

Good God restore them to their Wits, and call  
Them home, least erring▪ they do fall,  
into Temptation,   

And let not thy true Church, by such as these  
Be brought, through ignorance and ease,  
But deliver us   

Let inspired cobblers▪ Weavers, lead them still,  
Into Egyptian darkness, if they will.  
from evil.   

Who at thy footstool, prostrate lie full bent,  
To bless our King the State, and Parliament.  
Amen.   

As for the Jesuits, Brownists or who pray  
The contrary, to Tyburn be their way.   
FINIS.
