I have heard say by some that make their vetdict under me that Mr. Jenkins lacks some of his Courage and that he will exchange it for some of his Cowardise it 's a sad thing any man should be fooled like Mr. Love But I was no High-Court of Justice man what care I. Colebr. That 's a terrible fellow our Brother Giant of Presbytery the invincible Mr. J he smites such slanting blows against the King that Mr. Crofton's lashes at were meere jerks to them this huge body and spirit defiêd once the Rump and an Army of Redcoats with Mr. Love but his great courage soon quelled and he wofully kissed their tail to save the excrescency from his shoulders a head like a Mortar-shell stuft with incendiary matter squib'd out every Sonday at C. C. Brand. I am amazed to think a fellow that so cowardly shamefully basely begged an unnecessary life of so rascally a Crue should presume to affront the Majesty of his lawful Prince with such Ifs and And 's such Disloyal if not T reflections and undutiful reservations of Obedience Colebr. You must stile it after them the Christians manner of Subjection to Princes according to the laudable primitive practise of Knox and Buchanan But if ever Giant were a Prophet let Mr. J beware how he engages in a new businesse for there will hardly be any room left for another Petition or whidling Retractation Brand. By these Men and their Artifices this Presbyterian Cabal was driven on But pray tell me with what countenance and behaviour the overvoted Cavaleirs carried themselves I suppose they slunk down towards the End of the Hall by your Post or Station Colebr. They had been so oft used to those kind of Defeats there ever since the Region of Isaac Penington that they were as ready to drink a Cup of Sack according to custome as ever They said that that place was never reputed for any Moderate Counsels or Actions since Bodkins and Thimbles and the Infection of Publique-Faith-money and Plate nor was never like to be till those reforming Adventurers saw the return of the Jamaica Silver Fleet. They said they observed some Ruffs there who having learnt from their predecessors Nullifidians to believe in nothing but Mammon and Idols of Gold or Silver did so shrug at the Nomination of a generous Royallist that fleeceth his own back when he but pareth others with Subsidies and Tallages that as if they had drank a Caudle of Molten Silver or been stupified with some great loss or bankrupture they stood as still and as mute as stocks And the most through disuse of trade with Courtiers having no Debentures to double upon the security of a Regal Parliament and so not byassed by a too great credit had no such impulsive considerations to elect Royallists In conclusion they said the Court and City never yet understood one another but were like the Constellation of Castor and Pollux a rising Courtier portending a decaying Citizen both never shining together Brand. The one made all of ayr of fine thin ayr as thin as I know what as thin as Puff-past and as light as a feather The other a dull heavy Meteor which never ascends above the Middle region of Honour that 's to be Knights Colebr. Knights agen away with um Come I le give you another Stanza of Verses concerning the City and the Court worth a score of Knights if they were of Malta but worth all the Brigade of Knights Oliver made ' Tii to the Tune of When Arthur first in Court began THat which the Court from City doth distinguish Is nothing else but currant Money English I wonder then there 's so much difference now Since th' Court 's a ready Money Market too This makes the feud the Courts the greater getter And yet the City 's nere a jet the better Virgill Metamorph lib. 16. according to the newest Edition Brand.
