(1) CAnonical Black-Coats, like Birds of a Feather, In Town and from Country are flocking together; As if our Religon was never intended, But for want of a better, to be still amended. Commissioners all Ecclesiastical,To make a new Creed, meet at Westminster Hall. Yet Tories had rather see Protestants burn, Than that their old Liturgy should not serve the turn. (2) Theres no Catholick Note that more does belong To a Fallible Church than to be in the wrong. And if the deceived may also deceive, Then in what a Condition are those that Believe. In Divinity Schools Are forgd many Tools, Whereby Knaves get their Living by working on Fools. Yet Tories had rather------ (3) Whole Troops of Crape-Gowns, with their Captains in Lawn, In the Pail of the Church together were drawn. A Learned good Doctor did fairly propose, To let in our Friends, and shut out our Foes, But Rochester stood by, And refusd to comply, For he scornd all Commissions, unless they were high. And rather the Tories would see the Inquisition, Than part with one tittle of vain Repetition. (4) This Maggot o th Mass, the Prayers, ye call common, Conceivd by a Boy, brought forth by a Woman, Who to cure all the Sores in the Souls of the Nation Have publishd this Noble Receipt for Salvation: Cut in parcels it is, Lest the Parson should miss, Who prays all by Spurt, as his Tith-Pigs do piss; Yet Tories had rather ------ (5) To shew that our Soul not likely to starve is, Heres both the first Course, and the second Service; Tis servd up to relish your Ale and your Toast well, With a Cut of the Pistle, and a Slice of the Gospel. Then the Curate so pert, Brings in the Desart. Lord, how Robin Spencer rejoyces at heart! When Man, with the Lady of Babylons Rag on, Stands by the dark Candle, and the empty Flaggon.
(6) Stand firm to your Sins, and have a great care That you mend not your Lives, lest ye spoil all the Prayer. Ye must never press forward, round, round, ye must reel, And Sin, and Repent, like a Dog in a Wheel. Be still the same Men In the Morning at Ten, In the Evening, at Three, have at it again. But who would have thought that old Cranmer and Ridley Shoud confess all the Sins of Sheppard and Sedley. (7) The Kit-Wrens of our Creed, those Spiritual Surveyors, First found that our Matrimony wanted repairs. Grave Tenison thought things obscenely exprest, And fain woud have left out the Cream of the Jest. But twould not be decreed To leave out the Creed, For twould dry-bob our Marriage, and marr all the breed. So Tories had better see ------ (8) When our Sacraments old Hocus pocus is done, One would think it is Bread, or else it is none; Tho our Senses say Bread, as to God we must bow, Or the Church has tane care all our Cake shall be Dough. Shoud they mistery boast, And woud call it the Host, In a cup of Canary twould serve for a Toast. Yet Tories had rather ------ (9) From a Brother o th Mug, grown a Peer with a Mitre. They promise our Souls than their Lawn should be whiter, Till with Passive Obedience the Nation enslavd; One had better be damnd than so to be savd. Old Noll had a Trick To keep Souls from old Nick, Without either Bishop, or a Bishoprick. But Presbyter Puppies needs the King woud restore, And by putting him in, put emselves out o door. (10) With the Tail of an Horse, when such gambols were plaid, What might we expect from the jolly Nags Head? On their Jure Divino, whip, they mount in the Air, And run their Tantivy, the Devil knows whether. Then begin they to sing, No Bishop, no King, Till together, old Nick has um all in a string, And still ye might beat the Lawn Sleeves in a Mortar, Yet not find so much Brain as in Olivers Porter.
FINIS.
