GOOD People all to me give ear, And mark my Story well, For such sad things were never heard As I to you shall tell: The Catholicks in England have Of late so slandered been, And Slaughtered too, that I believe The like was never seen: For they are slandered with the truth, Of which the world doth ring, And have been justly slaughtered too, A sad, and dismal thing. You know their Ancestors did plot To kill Elizabeth, And blow up James, and by their means Good Charles was put to death. But if they should deny that they This Murther did contrive, If I don't prove it then let them Me of my life deprive: For the Queen Mother's Confessour, Apostate Gough by name, One of the Rebels Troopers was (To Papists no small shame.) And when the fatal stroke, was struck Aloud he JUSTICE cry'd And then, with his drawn Sword, amongst The People he did ride. Du Moulins Book this Murther too Doth on the Papists charge, And saith if they dare question him He'll prove it more at large. Nor since our Gracious King's return Have Papists idle been, But in their Father's steps have trod, And shew'd their malice keen: For they these one and twenty years Against him have conspir'd, And all true English Protestants, And London they have fir'd. But he that saith there was no Plot, Nor is, can be no friend To truth, or King, or Parliaments (Whatere he may pretend:)
Nay he's a Traytor, and I will Shew you the Reason why, Because he doth in downright terms Give to the King the Lye. And likewise to four Parliaments, To Judges, Truth, and Laws, (Which shews the loyalty of such As plead the Romish Cause) For divers Proclamations, And Speeches of the King, Both Houses Votes, and Judges sense Have clearly prov'd the thing. Yet still they are so impudent, As by their Trayterous Tools, To justifie their innocence Whenere they meet with Fools. But they at last have fool'd themselves, And their own Plot betray'd; And so are taken in the Snare, Which they for us had laid: For they on Protestants have forg'd Such pittiful Sham-Plots, That they have prov'd their own thereby, And Shew'd themselves meer Sots; So that the simplest Protestants Do now most plainly see That Papists, Traitours, Murderers And perjur'd Villains be. But wonder not to hear, or read Their wicked treacherous tricks; For they are taught they should not keep Their Faith with Hereticks; Nay that the greatest sins, against Divine and Humane Laws, Are none, but meritorious acts, If done t' advance their Cause. Hence we may learn what to expect From such false bloody Knaves; If they prevail we must be slain, Or Beggars live, and Slaves: Therefore good Lord preserve our King, And grant him long to Reign, That into England Popery May ne're be brought again.
