Time hath been wholy taken up in the Procurement of that sacred Ordinance of Tithes wisely thought on before the Directory for he is an Infidel and denyeth the faith that doth not provide for his Family 12. My Lord the Defendant smels of a fat benefice see his pockets are ful of Presbyterian steeples the spires stick under his girdle ha ha ha instead of weathercocks every spire hath got a black box on it 13. Instead of Moses Aaron and the two tables we shal have Sir Ssmon and Sir John holding the late solemn League and Covenant 14.

From his superlative holiness Sir Simon Synod c. In the front whereof is the picture of a Bul tossing Sir Simon Synod on his horns Trampling the Ordinance for tithes under his feet with this Inscription upon it Ordinance for Tithes 22. That the Ordinance permitting none to preach but such as are ordained is a pattern of the spirit worse then the Monopoly of Sope hereby to get all trading into their own hands 23 Sir Iohn Gurns being lately rob'd with a Parliament Corall that late Ordinance is made to put his boarish Tusks his great huge iron fangs in execution to divorce rend and teare these Hereticks 24. Therefore we wisely consulted of a Committee of examination to be chosen out of us it must not be esteemed a Court of Iuquision that 's popery not a Renovation of the High Commission that 's Antichristian only an Inlet to a through Reformation that 's a godly name that may doe much good c. 25. The Classicall Clarks and Sextons of the three Kingdoms demolish and put down all the Martins nests from your Church-wals and Steeples that no birds build chatter or doe their busines there 26. But Church owles Jack-dawes otherwayes called Sir Iohn blind Batts Presbyterian Wood cocks 27. O yee two Houses of Parliament make another Ordinance that all the meetings may be made to fly the three Kingdoms the next Mid-summer with Cuckowes and Swallows 28.

And I was sprinkled into the Assembly of Divines at the taking of the late solemn League and Covenant 32. Iudg. T is strange that at the making of the late solemne league and Covenant blood Thirsty Persecution should be Anabaptist present before Reformation 33. Then here 's a designe of blood in the Covenant if under the name of Reformation the Clergy have infused the spirit of Persecution into it 34. My Lord there was never any National or Provincial Synod but strengthned the hand of Persecution under the vizard of Religion 35. I. Reason as soon as these underling Divines are from under their Episcopall Task-masters and begin to incroach your Lordships power they presently take this notorious bloody Traytor Persecution stript by your Lordships of his High Commission habit and out of their zeal dresse him in a divine Synodical garb and change his name from Persecution to Reformation Pag. 39.

It is most certain that this fellow whose name Sir Simon fains to be Reformation is absolute Persecution so that had these Reformers as much power as Queen Maries Clergy their Reformation would conclude in fire and faggot 45. Judge oh insufferable Assembly I see t is dangerous for a State to pin their faith upon the sleeve of the Clergy 46. Others are impoverisht and lose their lives in the Quarrel but these are inricht and advanced by it save their purses and persons cram their filthy greedy guts too il to carry to a bear 47. Yea my Lord this great gore belly Idoll called the Assembly of Divines is not ashamed in this time of necessity to devour more at one Meal then Bel and the Dragon 48.
