FROM the lawless Dominion of Mitre and Crown, Whose Tyrannies are Absolute grown; That Men become Slaves to Altar and Throne, And can call neither Bodies, nor Souls their own. Libera Nos Domine. From a Reverend bawling Theological Professor, From a Protestant Zealous for a Popish Successor: Who for a great Benefice still leaves a lesser, And ne'er will die Martyr, nor make good Confessor, Libera Nos, etc. From Deans, and from Chapters, who live at their Eases, Whose Leachery lies in renewing Church Leases; Who live in Cathedrals, like Maggots in Cheeses, And lie like Abbey Lubbers stew'd in their own Greases, Libera Nos, etc. From Oxford and Cambridge, Scholastical Fry, Whose Leachery's with their Landress to lie; Of Church and State their Wants to supply, That Religion and Learning may never die, Libera Nos, etc. From a Holbourn-Hill Parson, whose Pulpit rings, With Jure Divino of Bishops and Kings: And from the true Scripture false Evidence brings, That Kingship and Priesthood are two sacred Things, Libera Nos, etc. From a Minister of the English Church Breed, Mother Churchs own Son by Episcopal Seed; Who with Tale-Tub, can burlesque Lord's Prayer and Creed, And can the whole Bible Ridicule for a need. Libera Nos, etc. From a Scandalous, Limping, Litigious Vicar, Of whom his Parish grows sicker and sicker; Who taught his dull Maid to grow quicker and quicker, And who stole the Tankard when he drunk out the Liquor, Libera Nos, etc. From an Altar-Piece Monger, who rails at Dissenters, And Damns Non-Conformists in the Pulpit he enters: Yet all the Week long his own Soul he ventures, By being so Drunk that he cutteth Indentures. Libera Nos, etc. From young Boys Ordain'd, whose Beards are not grown; From a Journey-Man Preacher, to some dignify'd Drone: Who, whatever Text he Preaches upon, Still talks of Rebellion and Forty One, Libera Nos, etc. From a Protestant Church, where a Papist must reign; From a High Tory Parliament, to England a Stain: Who because some honest Members the Plot wou'd make plain, Their Elections made void, and they sent Home again, Libera Nos, etc. From Fools, Knaves and Villains, Prerogative Tories, From Church that for the Babylon Whore is; From a Pretended Prince, like Pear rotten at Core is, From a Court that has Millions, yet as Job poor is. Libera Nos, etc. From all that would the Hanover Succession bambouzle, And those Villains that honest Men's Mouths wou'd up Muzzle, From those that love nothing but French Wine to guzzle, And with their Knavish Quirks, and Tricks us would puzzle. Libera Nos, etc. From a W------r at St. J------ss, and another at Paris, From the Harliquin Plot well known to Bob. Farriss, Deliver us, Lord, from this very Thing, From the Sham Prince of Wales, and the French King.
