About a Year past not much less or more When first they did Reign and a little before A Wicked Rebellion in Ireland has been Carry'd on and maintain'd against our King and Queen By Irish too Wild But Parent more Vil'd That would keep that Kingdom even from his own Child But learn by true Fasting Devoutly to Pray That God the Occasion would soon take away III. You 're told this Rebellion's Contriv'd and Supported by Lewis of Bourbon Usurper of France And by him Encourag'd as some have Reported by tempting the late King to Abdicate hence But what is a Story Will shake his Vain-Glory He Banish'd him thither to Act the meer Tory. Then learn by true Fasting Devoutly to Pray Vsurpers c. IV. But would you have thought it this French King design'd to make little Ireland a Province of France Nay more to Destroy it its King he Confin'd in Person by Arms to make its Defence And call it his Own Tho' thereby 't is known What Wrong to King William and Mary is done Then in all true Fasting be sure you do Pray Such Impious Vsurpers may ne'r get the Day V. The War made for this and some other Causes as Honest but what you are left for to guess One perhaps is because the Old Gentleman Pauses and won't go to God his Children to Bless With quiet Enjoyment Of their great Employment But makes a Complaint has no Reason or Rhyme in 't So whilst it continues in Fasting then Pray Vsurpers and Rebels c. VI.

VII To Rescue good Subjects from Force and Oppression and give them Prosperity Safety and Peace As well as secure them from future Agression King William resolves to quit his own Ease And in Person so Stout Ne'r yet put to Rout To lose Soul and Body or bring it about That soon it may be so Devoutly all Pray Vsurpers and Rebels c. VIII Putting Trust in th' Almighty by whose sole permission in a marvellous manner King William succeeds And not to be guilty of any Omission may stop the least Blessing to his Righteous Deeds The Kingdoms ill Fate So to Consumate They may once again Settle be it early or late Their Majesties seriously bids you to Pray Devoutly that Rebels may ne'r get the Day IX Their Majesties too to avoid Innovation were Advis'd by their Wise Privy-Council in this Sway'd by the same Persons so Govern'd the Nation in both the last Reigns that nought went amiss And so never fear But just as those were These Princes will little less Happy appear God Pardon all Sinners Repenting and Pray Vsurpers and Rebels c. X. Those Devils of Discord who tempt to Rebellion were all most subject to Fasting and Prayer Then no Man can wonder you must not rely on one Wednesdays Devotion when Legions appear The Twelfth of March past Whilst this War shall last The Third Wednesday Monthly will be a strict Fast With Solemn Devotion wherein you must Pray Vsurpers and Rebels c. XI For decent Solemnizing this no Mock-Devotion the Right Reverend Bishops so Loyal and True Must frame Prayers Collects with such proper Portions of Scripture as fit an Occasion so new The Commandments then Will be Two less than Ten And Old Non-Resistance ne'r mention'd agen But sent to the Irish the better to Pray Vsurpers and Rebels may ne'r get the Day FINIS
