SEe how the Romish Whore goes down, Posting whole-sale out of Town, 'Cause her Fate does shrewdly Frown, and Cross her Inclinations: Father Petres, and his Crew Of Jesuits, Monks, and Fryars too, Must now pack up, and bid adieu to London's Corporation. Pox on all their Perjur'd Oaths, Which a Zealous Church-man loaths, Are they not Woolves in Sheeps Cloaths, that Lurk in e'ry Station,
To Trappan the Innocent, And hatch a Hellish Discontent: Let us then with one consent, dismiss them from our Nation. When I saw them first grow Bold, I thought the Proverb true of old, That they ran too fast to hold, their damn'd Insinuation, Now their prince Dispensing Pow'r, Lies a-bleeding in the Tow'r, Cursing of the Fatal Hour of his first Procreation.
Now that Wizard knows full well, Himself to be a Bird of Hell, Inhumanely thus to Rebel against his Habitation: But e're this Hypocrite shall pass, We'll bring his Crimes for Looking-Glass, To see himself the meerest Ass of all the Worlds Creation. Welcome was brave Orange here, As it plainly doth appear, Who deliver'd us from Fear of Popish Usurpation; Who when we were in great Surprize, Preserv'd us from our Enemies, And all the damn'd Conspiracies, of Rome's Assassination. Was there such a Trick e're seen, As hath lately acted been, By their Fathers, and the Q-----n, to gull our English Nation?
But their jugling up that Brat, From we know not who nor what, Will be prov'd; nay, worse than that of Transubstantiation. Monsieur now had best take heed, For his Expeditious speed, In Helping us, e're we had need Of his Dissimulation; Least in Requital of his Care, We send his Knives, and some to spare, And bring Le Bougra in for share of's Cursed Assignation. Well, I'll say no more; but see (True Protestants where e're you be) You come not near such Villany, nor grand Equivocation; E're long I hope our Parliament, Will rid that Superstitious Scent From us, that we may rest Content, each in his proper Station.
