Professor the Levite But the Papist was the good Samaritane especially the Irish Papist and that the Subject with all he had were at the Kings Command and many such and worse Doctrines of Devills were frequently preached which spread like an infectious Leprofie over the body of the whole Kingdom and were supported with the two Arches of Pride and Lust Cant. and Wren that made their five senses the Cinqe ports to traffick with their Captain Sathan for the scarlet coloured Whore though for it they were forc'd to pay the the costome-Costome-tribute with their soules The sixt is the Asse Cavaliere that like an easie patient Beast bears burthens or Arms against himself and fights against his own Liberty till he enslaves himself to Tyranny and Opression of these Beasts there are not a few that Bray up and down this City yea few houses but are haunted with one or more of these Spirits which never discover themselves so farre as when they sit on their Ale-benches in Tipling-houses where they commonly meet together the profusenesse and beastly sensuality of those houses it were fit were taken into consideration as well for suppressing the great number of them as for the redressing the manifold Abuses committed in them to the great dishonour of God the abuse of his good Creatures and the utter undoing and impoverishment of most that frequent them And how odious a fight is it in the eye of a Christian to see an Ale-house and a Brothel-house with painted Impudence preposterously bugger one anoanother and so begit the bastard issue of a Tobacco shop which they breed up between them both who receives such instructions from his evill Parents that in a short time hee out vapours them both in wickednesse How many poor Mechanicks have split themselves on these fatall Rocks and so consequently sunke themselves and families in the vast Ocean of Poverty and misery How many Murders Adulteries Thefts c. take their originall from that crying sinne of drunkennesse And how needfull it were that there might be but a set number which might be stock'd by the parishes in which they are and honest men deputed for the keeping thereof and the gaines arising therefrom to helpe to feed the poor that hath occasioned so much poverty as to prevent the abuses before mentioned I leave to their consideration that have already suppressed two inseperable companions to these houses viz. the Swearer and Profaner of the Sabbath The sixt and last is the Apo Cavaliere which is a right Mimick made naturally to play the Ape for his owne ends How many Moncky'sh Priests did Ape that Arch-ape of Canterbury in cringing and bowing to Crucifixes Altars and in wearing Copes and Surplices some of which were not much inferior to Mr. Jacks Coat who in the Desert was content with that garb and coat that nature had bestowed upon him but being brought to the City he must be cloath'd as occasion serves How many of our Priests at first were coutented with a Cloak or Cassack but once comming to Rome they must doe as Rome do's and so Ape one another till they become perfect Apes themselues How did our Canterburyans lately ape one another in their Altar-worship Preaching Titles Postures Habits and the like dancing even measures to Canterburies musick though at last like foolish apes they broke all his strings delighting to heare them crack asunder How did they ape one another in persecuting Godly Ministers Excommunicating suspending banishing imprisoning cutting off eares searring faces slitting Noses and the like as if they would scale heaven by murder or as Cant Serm. ult observeth

forcing conformitie to their iniquitie impiety cruelty craft hypocrisie and deep dissimulation Canterburyes last Voyage and Royall entertainment in the Infernall Kingdome HIs Grace being ready to take water in his Fatall Barge Charon demanded his Ferry-money which the provident Prelate had ready for him when presently he hoysted up his black sayles which were presently fill'd with a Northern blast of hideous Wind which quickly brought him past Styx and Phlegiton to the staires Infernall His Grace being landed on the Stygian shore was presently attended in great Pompe towards the Court of Pluto with state little inferior to his hellish Majesty being met by multitudes of Popes Cardinalls Iesuites Abbots Monks Priors and Bishops amongst whom was Bonner Wolsey and other his Predecessors who did all Reverence his Grace after their hellish manner which Pluto observing shook with terror knowing that a verier Devill was come then himself and feared he should be forced to resign his infernall Crown and Scepter But Canterbury perceiving the agony of Pluto stept forth from among his Traine and spake as followeth MIghty Monarch and Powerfull Potentate of all the Infernall habitations though I am little inferior to thy self thy terrible Titles only excepted in Devillish Pollicy yet I have held it my duty to give the Devill his due Therefore consider Mighty Prince by what means thy Royall Power hath been enlarged and thy self become so great thy Court so glorious and thy Dominions so populous Or whether any of this numerous Traine have brought more souls to thy subjection then my self

A CHARME FOR Canterburian Spirits Which since the death of this Arch-Prelate have appeared in sundry shapes and haunted divers houses in the City of London With his Graces waftage over the Red Sea of Cocitus in Charons Ferry-boat And his magnificent entertainment into the Daemoniack Court Laud play'd the Devil on the earth so well That he is since install'd Vice-roi of Hell Printed for J. C. February the 14. 1645 1644 A Charme for Canterburian Spirits WHo is there amongst us that hath not been amazed or at least affrighted at the strange apparitions and horrid Appearances of these Malignant and Canterburian Spirits who like Ignis Fatuus or Will with a Wisp have led so many out of the right way into the intricate Laborinths of Malignancy and folly and so have begot a Viperous brood of Hydra-headed Cavaliers whose yeesty braines are in continuall motion and work higher as they are filling their bottomlesse and swinish carcases With Stigian Liquors whilst themselves become the shame of themselves being odious to God hatefull to Man burdensome to Nature and the root of much evill and disturbance to this poor afflicted and languishing Kingdome the eye of reason and understanding seeing them variously disguised or Metamorphosed into Beasts of divers qualities and conditions The first appeares like a Lyon though a ravening one and swares so fast as if he had no more words then oathes hee makes great brags of the Rapine and mischief he hath committed on the Roundheads in divers Counties which hee most impudently attributeth to the greatnesse of his Valour and haughtinesse of his courage his greatest discourse is of Swords Rapiers Daggers Pistolls and Carbines which are the proper Instruments belonging to his trade which is cutting of Throats and then raps you out some Twenty Oaths and then begins to sware That Canterbury died a Martyr and deserved to be sainted and will trace him in all the circumstances of his Sermon till he comes to the Red sea his braines swiming in a sea of Ale which hee manfully disgorgeth with his Sermon where we will leave him dead drunk The second is metamarphosed into a Fox this is a crafty slye companion and lies all upon the Catch but will not prey neere home but farthest from his den least he should be discovered he craftily preys upon the simple and tells them That to take up Armes against the King is to fight against God which wee ingeniously confesse yet will neverthelesse as long as breath remaines in our nostrills protect our King and fight against and Earth such crafty Foxes that by their Cunning slie insinuations and pernitious Counsells have mislead so good a King and almost undone so flourishing a Kingdome The third doth appeare like a Calfe but indeed a Cavee He can maintain the Miter to be above Crowne the Crosier staffe above the Scepter and the Cope and Surplesse to be of greater Antiquity then the Parliament Roabe and can for a need raise Controversies to little edifying Chop-Logick and Philosiphie which he uses as the subtilties of Sathan to deceive the simple to which little-purpose he relates unto you many profane humane stories which relish more of his owne vaine Ostentation then of the Spirit This Beast will tell us of Imperiousnesse against Authority both Spirituall and Temperall because wee renounce and defie all obedience to evill and Malignant Calves like himself blind Bishops and their Antichristian vassalls which were not long agoe in so faire a way to bring us under their slavish subjection and cruell tyranny Hee tells us No Pilate no Prince tells of Zealous Ignorance calls us Hypocrites having all Zeal and no Knowledge all Purity and no Humanity all Simplicity and no Honesty when indeed they are all his own proper Epethites and bear greater rule in him then himself over his Punck or Tobacco-pipe this Calf is a great bleater in our Streets of London and if let alone will at last become a bellowing bull of Basan but I hope the Magistracy of this City will take order for the bayting of this Malignant beast whose malice like Phalaris Bull makes that a torment first for himself which hee hath invented to punish others The Fourth as fierce as a Goose and is alwayes bissing against the Parliament and because one of his breed preserved the Roman Capitall he conceives he should sit in all great Assemblies and nothing passe them without his Ganderships approbation if any thing please him not he is presently in such Choller that hee sputters again which drives him presently to his proper Lake the Ale-house which hee so loves and honours that he doth reverence it with a nod or cringe as he enters the doore His Religion is most commonly his pretence of discontent though he can be of all Religions but truly of none where hee findes no cause to tax the State he descends to rayl against the Rates of Commodities bitterly cursing the Excise upon his Ale and Tobacco The fifth is a Goatish Cavaliere borne in VVorcestershire and had his first bringing up upon Mauburne hills which he takes for so great an honour that he stands upon tip-toes and brags much of his Gentility Being a man of high feeding hee is commonly illitterate debauched and lacivious and is oft given to quarrell at the innocencie and simplicitie of the sheep because they want the garb of a compleat Gallant which he takes himself to bee But the Great Sheepheard hath decided the quarrell which is the better man and hath put him on the left hand Hee is very quick of hearing but not so quick as to hear any good of himself though every one cries out on him Fie how he stinks which hee neither regards nor beleeves by reason of his pride and self-conceitednes because hee beleeveth hee hath gained a place in the heavens though hee have lived never so ill a life on earth hee was preferred for his good parts to Bishop Wren and by him put into a Viccarridge with this proviso that he should drive all the Puritanes as hee termed them out of his Parish and thanked God That he had never a Lecturer left in his Diocesse and so received from him his Instructions To preach Altar VVorship Forgiveness of sins by the Priest Holy dayes to be observed before or equall with the Lords Day That the Prelates had as much Power without the King to govern in Ecclesiasticall matters as the King had in temporall without the Bishops and to refuse to deliver the Sacrament to such as would not come up to their Railes and to excommunicate others for hearing Sermons in other Parrishes though they had none in their own for a moneth together calling it Spirituall Whoredome And is grown to that height of Impiety that he compares the King to the man that went from Jerusalem to Ierico and fell among thieves that wounded him of his Honor Robbed him of his Castles and the hearts of his Subjects the Priest passing by was the Protestant the forward
