IN Holy-Record we do read, Of a Nathaniel indeed; A Man of Christ gave that Stile, An Israelite in whoms no Guile. Our day yields a Nathaniel, A Popish-Brat, Spewd out of Hell; A Man that is in very Deed, The off-spring of the Serpents Seed. His Malice notes him void of Grace, His Lying doth shew hes of that Race; For as the Serpent spake at first, To Man of God, but made him Curst. So doth this Man speak Loyalty, That Law and Gospel would destroy; He Serpent-like, at heels doth bite, Of those whose Heads he cannot smite. He feeds on Dust, but gapes for Blood, A Man of note, but not for good; You this vile person may compare, with worst that either were or are. For if with Cain you do begin, This Man surpasseth him for sin; In wrath his Brother he did slay, This in cold Blood kills evesy day: His Vipers Tongue kills by his word, More than he can do with drawn Sword. When Lamech once a Man had killd, His Conscience was with horror filld; Tho this Mans Tongue be fully bent, To kill and slay the Innocent; Yet he his Conscience doth so fear, That he not God, nor Judgment fear. Read of the World that once was drownd, and no such one was in it found; Nay, search the New and you will see, Few with this Man compard can be. If cursed Ham did so Transgress, To see his Fathers Nakedness; How guilty is he that doth Ayme, To see and Trumpet all Mens Shame; Yea, Loyal Peers, that Fathers be, Their shame this Man doth long to see; And like to a Trumpet he doth sound, Those Guilty, that are Guiltless found Like Nimrods Dog with open Throat, This Hound hunts fiercely for the Pope; He loud doth baul upon the Scent, Of Juries and of Parliament; As though his hopes were, that he may, Have blood of such to be his Prey. For scoffing hes an Ishmael, With Esau can his Birthright sell; We read of none so Active found, In Egypt, Israel to drownd; As this home Satan doth provoke, To be the Agent of the Pope. The Corah and Abiram were, Not with this Man for to compare;
For though the Earth this wretch doth bear Hell will Erelong gape for him their; He for the Pope would Isarael Curse, As Balaam would have done or worse, And longs for Altars to Devine, His familiars there to find; But the mean time hele advertise, To joyne with Romes Idolatrys, To pass the Cananites tho he; Of that Curst Race is Judgd to be. To Doeg next we will have like, Who did at Priest and Profit strike; So against Priest and Patron he, The Popes Informer longs to be. Sanballat and Tobia are, The meetest with him to Compare? Who by Libels Void of reason, Speak that worship must be Treason. Like Hammon he doth long to slay, The Jews, and to hang Mordicay; Tho Justice may in time him bring, on his own Gallows for to swing. The Rulers Could not in Christs day, Find such a one him to betray; Till Satan had in Judas got, As into this to sham the Plot. Nay Judas like, give him his due, Hel Crucifie, the Lord a new; And Judas like at last may burst, Yea, hang himself and be Acurst. The Coppor Smith did not that wrong, As this man hath done with his tongue; Elimus like his Cursed mouth, Would Rulers fain pervert for truth He like Demetryus doth cry, For Remes Diana to be high. As if the world must still adore, That old face Ill lookt Scarlet Whore; Before we do Conclude tis fit, To shew whare Nat hath got this wit. It is Infusd to him from hell, By Satan that doth in him dwel Who of a Serpent did make Use, At first mans fall to Introduce But a more Subtil way doth take, And use of this Vile man doth make? By which the Devils Priests and he, Are grown so Intimate to be; That by the most hes known full well, To be the devils Oracle; And would have all men for to be, Slaves to the Pope as well as he. But in that Slavery well him leave, The Devils Wages to receive And unto his perpetual shame The Devils Ass let be his name-
