SINCE Monarchs were Monarchs, it never was known, That so little Power belong'd to a Crown, Or that, made by a Mobb, they may so be pull'd down, Which no Body dares deny. How the People came by it may seem somewhat odd, But an Orthodox Preacher by the Senate allow'd, Has given them this Right 'till now thought in God, Which no Body, etc. Says the Rights of the Church, and this Teacher Mankind Are to God and their King by Contract confin'd, Which, if it be not mutual, never can bind, Which no Body, etc. Nay supposing it so, and both sides agreed, Shou'd the People repent and demand to be freed, Cry the Covenants broke, and so cancel the Deed, Which no Body, etc. Of this new reviv'd Doctrine some still were in doubt, By a Prelate Preacher so bandy'd about, 'Till the P------nt met, and have made it all out, Which no Body, etc. The House was but thin, and their Questions but few, While the Money was given they'd nothing to do, To stir up the People to chuse them a-new, Which no Body, etc. Crys a Party-man slyly, pray where will this tend, If a whole Winter-Sessions so quietly ends? 'Tis by Bustle and Noise we gull Country Friends, Which no Body, etc. Here's a politick Parson of late does pretend, To show the Queen's Right from God does descend, A mischievous Doctrine, and very ill penn'd, Which no Body, etc. Let this be the Theme of our present Debate, To humble such Parsons, and not let them prate, For the Bible has nothing to do with our State, Which no Body, etc. The Motion was lik'd, and they take specipal care To shew they design'd no Mortal to spare, For as Patrons to him, they Arraign my Lord-Mayor, Which no Body, etc.
He frighten'd, when t'other's in Custody taken, The ORDERS he gave, has wisely forsaken; So the Doctor was lurch'd, and the Mayor sav'd his Bacon, Which no Body, etc. But hold, cries a Member, I think we've all err'd, 'Cause the Man's a Fool to strike at the whole Herd, And therefore to mend it, let's have One preferr'd, Which no Body, etc. The Queen can't refuse such a Pious Address, She'll make him a Bishop, she can do no less, For he raises the People, and Her does depress, Which no Body, etc. The Party was mightily pleas'd with this Speech, And vote, (that all Parsons may learn how to Preach) This Man to Promote, and the other Impeach, Which no Body, etc. This Loyal Resolve is brought up to the Lords, To which the Majority straightway accord, And agree that such Principles should be abhorr'd, Which no Body, etc. That for Preaching this Doctrine he shou'd be paid home, To be try'd at the Barr of their House he shou'd come, Where for half of the Commons they could not find room, Which no Body, etc. Which the Commons debate, and at last give their Voice, That Westminster-Hall is the Place of their Choice, For, if done there in Form, 'twill make the more Noise, Which no Body, etc. The Lords to this matter give no more Denial, But Scaffolds erect for a more solemn Tryal; That the Ladies, and Commons, and Folks, may be by-all, Which no Body, etc. To Work in a hurry Sir Christopher falls, And fetches his Men and his Boards from St. Pauls, I'm glad at my Heart they pass'd clear by White-Hall. Which no Body, etc. This Whim is to cost us full Three Thousand Pounds, And the Queen is to hear on what Foot she was Crown'd, Whether She, or the People, are like to get Ground, Which no Body, etc. But, Nobles, take care, you rue not the Hour, When the Commons were thus put in mind of their Power Impeaching's a thing that has made you look sour, Which no Body, etc.
