Ld: M: PRay Mr Recorder, Who gave you that order To with-hold Mr. Man from his Duty: And to keep City Sword From hearing Gods Word? I must tell you Sr. this does not suit ye. It's True indeed I Myself would deny When Private I Obey my superiors: But you'd call me a Fool all If I who now rule all Should forgoe due respect from Inferiors. Mr R------. My Lord your high Station Exacts this Confession That your Lordship should have due Obedience: But the Laws of which I Am a Champion reply That Sr. Humphry must give 'em precedence. Cook, Plowden, and Keble Give reasons not feeble And I their Expounder, must say here: The Sword is in Common, And therefore Sr. no Man Should bear it but to Common-Prayer. Ld: M: A fart for Epistle, And gospel go whistle With Church Ceremonious Sinners: Its enough that in Morn, To Paul's it is born, After Noon it shall go to Hall Pinners. In Scripture God's Word Is compar'd to a Sword, And the Sword shall Accompany't there: I'll not stand in awe Of Kings Serjeant at Law Since I am his MAJESTYS Major. Mr. R----. My Lord use your own Sense I have discharg'd my Conscience And expound'd the Law to the People: I never did fail yet Sending all Sorts to Jayl yet, Or the Freinds to the Chimny or Steeple. If you please, God offend, But the Laws of the Land If broken, send down many curses: From this Sword graunt ye Powers, That no Bloud fall in show'rs, As on Whitny the Blood of His Horses. Ld. M. Well Sr its no matter, Let us talk of 't here a'ter, When these Judgments com down, not before: I must in Sr and chide well, And send Old-Folks to Bridewell, And give order for Whipping the Poor. Mr. R---- And I'll to the Hall
To pass Sentence on All, And supplying your place will not fail ye: Do as you think fitting, Have the Sword to the Meeting, I'll use't to some Tune at th' Old-Baily.
