alleadge throughout this Rapsody the Champions against his cavills and ungrounded calumny In the rest of his Sarrismes this Don quipot fights as it were with Rams and poasts and Wind-mills for Giants I meane with his owne meere airy and windy conceits as the Cat playes with her owne tayle chiefly he fights as with his owne shadow when as a mad man he casts his brands at King Noll whom his fellow Melancholicus or his alter ego his second selfe plainly calls King Crumwell a man that is not in rerum natura not so much as in the orbe of the Moone nor on the center of the Earth within the sphere of our knowledge for although many meaner men for gifts and place then the Martiall Crumwell even some Country Peasants by similitude of physiognomies have usurped the names of Kings as one Wooldeman

ever Crumwell or his fame-worthy Generall called or counted themselves Kings or were so held or reputed by their Souldiers shall be proved in Platoes great yeare or in the Callends of the Greeks when all Priapized Priests and Friars and all the vestall Nuns of Venus live chastely together or when Jesuitized Papists what ere they pretend shall love a Protestant Prince so wel unlesse moulded downe-right their creature as to spare him in the Basilicall veynes more then the two French Henries so long as they had ever at hand a junior Faux Rivillack Parry Lopus or Lupus with a ponyard a poyson or a pistoll in his hand as Treason in his heart In his next streines which deserve necke streyning as though he were an Incubus or Succubus or one of the Colledge of Bird or Merlin and Mother Shipton or were some Witch or Conjurer or had some Mephistophiles or familiar spirit as once Doctor Faustus Cornelius Agrippa Simon Magus and other Nicromancers or at least were some judiciall Ass-stronomer Ass Colens Astra consulting with the starres or at best some Familist and mushrump Enthusiast as once John a Leidan and Munster his Prophet he takes upon him to prophesie sepe malum hoc

chaire to reveale his secrets lockt in his owne decree sure as there is a ●easting Epitaph of one Fiddle That the one and twentieth day of June John Fiddle he went out of tune so the eight and twenty

First in tearming the Rebells of Ireland Catholicks he meanes good Catholick subjects as ever man hanged upon his hedge and with these Catholicks forsooth and the Lord Taffe a profest polypragmaticall Papist a great stickler in the last massacre in Ireland and still a firebrand and incendiary in both Climes he tripudiates that Inchequin is to joyne against an Army of Sectaries very good stuffe Christ must be untrue his verdict must not stand Sathans kingdome must be divided by Mercuries divinity his servants and agents for his hellish Hierarchy must like the brethren of Cadmus oppose one another and as the Medianites thrust their swords in the sides one of another Sectaries against Sectaries Irish against English 2.
