Because they are both Deceitful and liars:

Be begged to receive his Country again:

And when the salt Sea shall be filled with Ale:

And dumb men shall speak that ye may understand:

That comes by their pamplets, though they are profane:  
And women at christenings they hold their tongue,  
then Popery out of this Land will be gone.
