On the New Forcers of Conscience
Under the Long Parliament
|
Because you have thrown off your Prelate Lord, xxAnd with stiff Vows renounced his Liturgy xxTo seize the widowed whore Plurality xxFrom them whose sin ye envied, not abhorred, Dare ye for this adjure the Civil Sword xxTo force our Consciences that Christ set free, xxAnd ride us with a classic Hierarchy xxTaught ye by mere A. S. and Rotherford? Men whose Life, Learning, Faith and pure intent xxWould have been held in high esteem with Paul xxMust now be named and printed Heretics By shallow Edwards and Scotch what d’ye call: xxxBut we do hope to find out all your tricks, xYour plots and packing worse then those of Trent, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThat so the Parliament May with their wholesome and preventive Shears Clip your Phylacteries, though baulk your Ears, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAnd succor our just Fears, When they shall read this clearly in your charge: New Presbyter is but Old Priest writ Large. |
