BBTI lists two William Jones active during the period, and one William Jaggard. Plomer notes 2 William Jones active at this time. ESTC lists W. I[ones?]. The data seems too shaky to arrive at a likely name.

A Ll you that Christians be usefully, usefully, Consider now with me Gods bounteous mercie: Though Truth hath bin denide And Papists it defide, Yet still doth it abide free from suppression. How many Treasons vile have bin layd, have bin layd, Gods pure Word to defile, in every Country: Yet still he keepes the same From blemish, hurt, or blame, And brings them all to shame that fight against it. What strange complots have bin gainst the truth, gainst the truth, Throughout the world is seene t'have beene attempted: Yet Christ his church wil have, And his Professors save, In spite of Pope, or slave that would confound it. Approved this may be at this time, at this time, By Barnviles trecherie gainst the Low-countries: Who with vain hopes mis-led, Devis'd t'have strucke all dead, And to have murthered men, wives, and children.
He did co[nsul]t with Hell impiously, impiously, Their frontier townes to sell to Austria's Duke: To murther great and small, With th'English souldiers al That slept within the wall of every Citie. Yet here he did not stay, but conspir'd, but conspir'd Grave Maurice for to slay, with other Princes. Thus midst this bloodie broy[le] He would have made a spoyl[e] Of his owne native soyle. without all pittie. This Tyger fierce of mind, mercilesse, mercilesse, these townes wold have resig[ned] to Tyrants power: Who would have banisht th[?] The Gospel shining cleare, And in its stead upreare trash and Traditions. But this discover'd was wondrously, wondrously: And nothing brought to passe what he inten[d]ed: For God did from the skie, Cast downe his watchfull eye, His treasons to descrie, and crosse his purpose.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second Part.</hi> </seg>
N Ow are his T reasons knowne to his shame, to his shame: And to all Statesmen showne, for their example: That God pursues his foes, With heavie overthrowes, Who doe their Hate disclose gainst Gospellizing. What savage Monster would thus have slain, thus have slain His friends; and Country sold for filthy lucre: Outmatcht this Deed cannot, Except with Powder-plot, W hich ne're will be forgot till the last Judgement. Of grace he had no touch in his heart, in his heart, But still did favour much th'A rminian Faction: And did his God forsake, W hich him did overtake, And drencht him in the Lake of deepe destruction. His Secretary then seeing well, seeing well Their damned plots made plain to both their ruines: Himselfe kil'd in the night, W ith knife made sharpe & bright So gave the divell his right by his despayring, You Politians all, carefully, carefully, Be war'nd by Barnviles fall midst his foule actions:
See you no mischiefes weave, That will your selves deceive, And soules of blisse bereave past all redemption. And let each English heart speedily, speedily, From Poperie depart as from fell poyson. May he his birthday rue, That strives for to subdue The Gospell pure and true in this our Nation. God guide our gracious King peacefully, peacefully: And at the last him bring to joyes eternall; W here he amongst the best Of Saints and Angels blest, May live in joy and rest time without ending. So blesse our vertuous Queen with this gift, with this gift: That still her Fruit be seene mongst us to flourish: As long as Cedars bud, And streames glide from the flood, So long her royall Blood here sway the Scepter. And powre on us thy Grace plenteously, plenteously, To mourne while we have space for sinnes committed: That when Death us doth take And we this world forsake, We good account may make at our last ending.
