SEVERAL New Cheats Brought to public View; Or, The Good Old Cause turned to a NEW CHEAT. London, Printed in the year, 1659. Several NEW cheats Brought to PVBLIKE VIEW, OR, The Good Old Cause Turned to a NEW CHEAT. I. THe devilish policy of the deceased, with his private pimps, sate forging mischief at the anvil ▪ while the devil blowed the bellows of dissension amongst his subjects, till we were almost ruined under the load, and durst not groan, although ▪ ti●●ed by the oppression of blood-thirsty Tyrants. II. Under the pretence of Religion and liberty, there lies lurking the spawn of that old Toad, who hath poisoned the free born people of these three Nations with damnable heresies, and so infringed the rights of many noble persons, that we can call nothing our own but what their damnable charity please to bestow upon us. III. Our pulpits are now become stages, to cry up our new Gospel-mungers, who Ape ▪ like, would imitate any thing that springs from a new fashioned heretic, and thank God twice a year for the prosperity of that old Tyrant, who drenched the ground with the blood of those ▪ whose shoes he was not worthy to unloose; therefore may we thank God that he and his Imps are purged from amongst us. IV. Religion had almost broken its neck down White-hall steps, and the good Common-wealths men of these three Nations sorely oppressed with Taxes, to maintain him and his privy ▪ council, whom I may compare to my Lord marquis Fool, always employed though never doing good. V. How hath this Nation been oppressed with unnecessary taxes by our rebellious traytors who commanded their Plate, Jewels, Bodkins, whistels, Ear-rings, and fifty two subsidies at a time, free loan, lent money, weekly rates, monthly Sessments, and dedicated to our Idol Parliament, whose Counsels were adored as Demi-gods; thus our rebellion against God, disloyalty to our King, and idolatry committed with the traitorous Army, hath brought this Babylonish captivity, and tyrannical yoke of bondage upon us, exercised by those who are our inferiors. VI. And to argue that their consequent slavery is certain, I say, what Nation ever endured such tyrannical bondage upon such slight occasions? Nay, how are Jorneymen-Coblers advanced to places of dignity and honor, and our Court of State now to be sold to raise a Dowry for the old hodge-podge, and to maintain a Venice public Stew at the Common-wealths charge, that so our weak Brethren may make use of holy Sisters? VII. Hath it not been their practise for several years, to advance themselves on other mens ruins, and instead of being served by the Milk of the gospel, we have been choked with the poison of asps, and robbed of our ancient customs, all our freedoms infringed, and our privileges violated; and is not the old Proverb verified? Dulcis odour Lucri ex requalibet. O London! where's thy happy dayes! Although thy streets with Gold Are paved; yet where's thy Franchises That have been long enrolled? Whose tyranny is now made known: Or, who have thee depraved, And have thy Freedoms all ore ▪ thrown, And thee have quiter enslave? What! can th' Parliament have the face Their Brethren to abuse, And take from them both Sword and Mace, And a new Mayor to choose. Yes, yes, they're Saints, and cannot err In any thing they do, For their great Father Lucifer Doth give them leave thereto. FINIS.
