Several NEW CHEATES Brought to PVBLIKE VIEW, OR, The Good Old Cause Turned to a NEW CHEAT.
I. THe devillish pollicy of the deceased, with his private pimps, sate forging mischief at the anvil▪ while the divel blowed the bellows of dissention amongst his subjects, till we were almost ruined under the load, and durst not groan, although▪ ti [...]ed by the oppression of blood-thirsty Tyrants.
[Page 2]II. Under the pretence of Religion and liberty, there lyes lurking the spawn of that old Toad, who hath poisoned the free born people of these three Nations with damnable heresies, and so infringed the rights of many noble persons, that we can call nothing our own but what their damnable charity please to bestow upon us.
III. Our pulpets are now become stages, to cry up our new Gospel-mungers, who Ape▪ like, would imitate any thing that springs from a new fashioned heretick, and thank God twice a year for the prosperity of that old Tyrant, who drencht the ground with the blood of those▪ whose shoos he was not worthy to unloose; therefore may we thank God that he and his Imps are purged from amongst us.
IV. Religion had almost broke its neck down White-hall steps, and the good Common-wealths men of these three Nations sorely oppressed with Taxes, to maintain him and his privy▪ Councel, whom I may compare to my Lord Marquess Fool, alwayes imployed though never doing good.
[Page 3]V. How hath this Nation been opprest with unnecessary taxes by our rebellious traytors who commanded their Plate, Jewels, Bodkins, Whistles, Ear-rings, and fifty two subsidies at a time, free loan, lent money, weekly rates, monthly Sessments, and dedicated to our Idol Parliament, whose Counsels were adored as Demi-gods; thus our rebellion against God, disloyalty to our King, and idolatry committed with the trayterous Army, hath brough [...] this Babylonish captivity, and tyrannical yoke of bondage upon us, exercised by those who are our inferiors.
VI. And to argue that their consequent slavery is certain, I say, what Nation ever endured such tyrannical bondage upon such slight occasions? Nay, how are Jorneymen-Coblers advanced to places of dignity and honor, and our Court of State now to be sold to raise a Dowry for the old VVitch, and to maintain a Venice publike Stew at the Common-wealths charge, that so our weak Brethren may make use of holy Sisters?
VII. Hath it not been their practice for several years, to advance themselves on other mens ruines, and instead [Page 4] of being served by the Milk of the gospel, we have been choaked with the poyson of asps, and robb'd of our ancient customs, all our freedoms infringed, and our Priviledges violated; and is not the old Proverb verified?
