The fanatics PLOT Discovered: BEING A true Relation of their strange Proceedings in Gloucestershire and other Counties; And what hath since happened upon the appearing of the two great Bodies of Frogs and Toads, (as they pretended) in sundry shapes and dreadful Colours; to the great wonder of all Loyal Subjects, that shall seriously peruse these following Lines.  
To the Tune of, Packington's Pound.  

Presbyterian Anabaptist   

KInd Friends I am resolved to discover a thing,  
Which of late was invented by Foes to our King;  
A fanatical Pamphlet was printed of late,  
To fill honest hearted Affections with Hate:  
But here lies the thing. God hath sent Us a King,  
That hath Wisdom enough to extinguish their Sting;  
And therefore I wish all allegiance be given,  
To Him that directly was sent Us from Heaven.   

The fanatics do tell Us in Gloucestershire,  
A parcel of Christians as they call them there,  
Did meet for to worship their unknown Apollo;  
But mark! for their baseness, hereafter doth follow:  
I have taken the pain, without any gain,  
The truth of this matter to you to explain:  
And therefore believe not this flattering thing,  
But stick close to your duty you owe to your King.   

Here now comes the matter which I am to declare,  
The Anabaptists in Gloucestershire,  
Where Brother and Sister being privately met,  
They say a rude multitude did them beset:  
But Villains beware, and of this have a care,  
Lest you with true Subjects should have no share:  
For the King is resolved their Rights to restore,  
And therefore fanatics plot Treason no more.   

After this Multitude had them beset,  
They went to a Justice his Warrant to get,  
Desiring his aid and assistance therein,  
But he being honest disowned their sin:  
He bid them depart, if they had their desert,  
They deserved to be whipped at the arse of a Cart:  
But yet through their policy they do Us tell,  
That the judgement of God on that Justice befell.   

And for to bring this purpose about,  
One of their own Congregation went out  
Into the fields, where by chance he did see  
Of Frogs and of Toads a great company:  
But this they do say, that in battle array,  
To the Justice his house they straight took their way:  
O do not believe them! my Friends have a care,  
For this is an Anabaptistical Snare.   

Yet I'll not deny but that there was store  
Of Frogs and of Toads at the Justice his door,  
Which was Anabaptists, Brownists, and those,  
Which ever were known to be the King's Foes:  
But thanks be to God they are under the Rod,  
That never intended to do any good:  
O do not believe them, my friends, lest that they  
Should delude you into their most damnable way.   

Besides, they do tell Us the Justice his Maid  
Were the cause that these Frogs and these Toads were conveyed,  
Which before at the Justice his windows had been,  
Was after dispersed, and never more seen:  
But let them have a care, it will fall to their share,  
That such Frogs and such damnable Toads as they are,  
Ere long will be banished, and never more seen,  
Which too long in this Christian Nation have been.   

I wonder, methinks, how they can be so bold,  
To continue their impudent Actions of old:  
It hath been their practice since Oliver's days,  
To plot and foment how dissension to raise;  
Not calling to mind, how gracious and kind,  
Our sovereign Lord King Charles they do find:  
And as for their Pamphlet I wish you beware  
How you do believe, and of them have a care.   

O I wish you consider their Actions of late,  
How they turned a brave Kingdom into a base State,  
Throwing the Pillars quite out of the Socket,  
And striving to get the coin into their pocket:  
No man I'll name, then do not me blame,  
But, Gentlemen, this I do speak to their shame,  
That all their Intentions was only this Thing,  
To hedge in the Kingdom, and murder the King.   

Come, come Independent, and cast off thy hate,  
Consider the workings of God here of late,  
How miraculously he hath brought it about  
To bring in the King, whom you thought to keep out:  
The Presbyter and the Episcopal man  
May safely rejoice now, because that they can  
Freely enjoy what is duly their own,  
That's to have their Estates, and the King have his Crown.
