A77259	The devills white boyes: or, A mixture of malicious malignants, with their much evill, and manifold practises against the kingdome and Parliament. VVith a bottomlesse sack-full of knavery, popery, prelacy, policy, trechery, malignant trumpery, conspiracies, and cruelties, filled to the top by the malignants, laid on the shoulders of time, and now by time emptied forth, and powred out, to shew the truth, and shame the Devill. Time now at the last poures out much knavery. The Devill holds down fast to hinder the discovery. Malignants are the Divells agents still, the sack is England, which they strive to fil with misery and mischief, and this sack full stufft, is laid upon times aged back; time poures it out now in an angry mood, that all their knaveries may be understood.	Brathwaite, Richard, 1588?-1673, attributed author.; Taylor, John, 1580-1653, attributed author.	1644 (1644)	Wing B4261; Thomason E14_11; ESTC R6322	7,574	9

studdyed alwayes by one of these malignant Candles till at last the Divell puff't out both the light of his Candle and the light of his life both together It is known that Diogines had a malignant candle in his Lanthorne which gave him light to see how to rayle and so Malignants and all wicked men have some of these Candles Prince Rupert never goes to bed but the Devill lights him up a candle that he may see to forget to say his prayers and that he may not see his cruell plunderings and one of these candles are continually burning before the Kings Maiesty which gives ●im such a dim light that he cannot see the way how to returne unto his Parliament Next comes out the Papists Reliques beads crosses crucifixes whips papist bookes licenced by the Bishop of Canterbury fire and faggots with which they intended to have burnt the Protestants as they did in the dayes of Queen Mary and our Queen Mary thought to have seen the like bon-fires in her dayes Hold down the mouth of thy sack Time what great gray thing is that come out tumbling Oh 't is one of the Fryers that liu'd at Saint Jameses fatt and full of knavery and popery bold there 's a Surplesse and two payre of Lawn-Sleeves a hood a cope and the poopish Service-boke that was sent downe to the Scots and a paire of Or●gans and a may-poole and the skull of the Queen-mother with a number of p●p●st skulls that while they liv'd were all Traytors to the Common-wealth of England What 's heere Serpents such as Cottington and the rest of the Kings evill Counsellors and look heere are Eeles Court Eeles that would slip into any place of preferrment but it is knowne that thunder doth break the bedds of Eeles and since the thunder of warre began these malignant Eeles are all run unto the King and doe live in the fresh waters at Oxford Bristoll and other puts in the VVest Country Now comes forth Lawy●rs black-boxes poore men brought these by their sides out of the Country to London and returned againe with nothing but penury and papers shake them out Time for when these times were the Divell and the Lawyer were alwayes full of businesse in the Terme time VVhat 's heere a Lions skinne with a Foxes tayl● to it a very good Embleme to shew that malignant Counsellours d●e make use of the Lions power to back their malignant plotts and thus the King is abused by the malignants pollicy But oh horrible and monstrous heer 's a hand with a sword in it full of hearts that have been run through by the Sword and upon the point of the sword is a Crowne Oh I fear this sword doth too evidently point out the King who hath been abused by his Evill Counsello s his Cavaliers and the Irish Rebells who have run their swords through the hearts of many thousand ●rotestants this is a bloody sight shak't out of the Sack of Time Here are more swords all which have been guilty of English blood not onely their hilts but their blades are sanguin'd over they look red and blush that friends and brothers should with hearts of Iron hard as their swords kill one another but now comes out of the sack two bloody hands the one holding a sword the other a Torch and this doth signifie Prince Rupert who is a bloody man of his hands and doth shew continuall cruelty with fire and sword as he did at Bolton in Lane shire and in many o●her places which have suffered under this plundering Prince Heere comes out n●w a Box full of Commissions to doe nothing such as the Duke of Buckingham had when he went to relieve the Protestants in Rochell and Sicill when he went Cales Voyage and then here 's another box with the Kings Armes upon it and in it there 's the Commission of Array with a great many of the Kings Protestations together with letters from he Queen and how the Kings Cabbinetts of Jewells being pawn'd he hath nothing left but a box fu●l of papers not of ●oetry but pollicy and they must needs be strong l●nes that are writ by a King and Queene and their strong malignants Now comes out tumbling together Ship-money Coxcombes for earpet-Knights such as Jermyn and Endymion Porter being new made Gentlemen and now being malignants are made I know not what heere comes out Monopolies of white-soape ragges mary-bones cardes tobacco and a pattent that should have been granted for pissing against the wall m●nopolies and knaveties come out here W●●ts heere Oh 't is the Bishop of Canterburies new book that he sent to the Scots being sent to him from his Holinesse of Rome and contrived by the Pope but the mischief was the bishop of Canterbury could not get a close cover for this booke so that the Scots discovered his Popish purpose and would rather see it burnt then entertaine a leafe of it to be read in their true reformed Churches Hold hold heer ' a company of eyes and eares and tongues poured out of the Sack of Time why Time wilt thou shame thy self could there ever be a Time so wicked that the Star-chamber should endeauour to pluck out the eyes of Religion and to pick out the best men to have them disgraced by cutting off their eares nay and by cutting out their tongues that is by sil●ncing Godly Ministers in the Diocesses where the bishops reign'd this was true enough But what 's heere Oxford Trumpery and Knavery Schollers flat-caps and square-caps Divines gowns which the Schollers lay down and while they drink healths to the confusion of the Roundheads they will cry Lie there Divinity

Beades Crosses Halfe-Crowns coyn'd out of Oxford Place Cuckolds hornes made by the Cavaliers Books of Popery of con●uring and all sorts of Malignant Pamphlets long gownes that cover the Oxford Levites that have little Gospel in them with speares gunnes and Corslets and Helmets which the Bishops and Schollers ware at Oxford being better head pieces than their owne But oh what comes out now the very worst of all the bottome of bottomlesse Popery and cruelty Heads Armes Leggs feet and whole quarters of men women and children butcher'd by the Rebells in Ireland and heere comes out tongs and Pincers wherewith being heated red-hot they did pluck the flesh from the bodies of the Protestants Daggers with which they stab'd the Protestants and let them bleed to death in their fight Gridirons whereon they roasted Protestants with Halters Clubs wherewith they knock out the braines of Protestants long Knives where-with they ript Children out of their Mothers bellyes and cut the throats of many thousand Protestants Axes wherewith they quartered Protestants cutting some into small peices but the burthen of varieties of cruelt●es which Time hath born in England and Ireland is insufferable the Papists Plots and projects innumerable the Malignants malice and pollicy unchangeable the Kings heart implacable so that it would be a hard matter for Time to shake all Malignants out of his Sack he is no small-coal-man for his sack can never be emptyed it having no bottom but is as deep as the Sea of Rome that have so many that help to fill it with knavery as Bishops Malignants rotten Lords
