Coine and Countenance Till such a noble Register be seene Of Benefactors as hath neuer beene In any age or any worke before And till he say Enough there needs no more And cause no mourning in our streets may be With such as feare demolishment to see Lord for thy Names sake let it be thy pleasure The rather to encrease that pious Treasure That euery one may haue some satisfaction To gaine their prayers in so good an action And that two Noble workes together may Be brauely done to all true Subiects ioy And through the world this fame may euer ring Pitty did raigne in Bishop Lord and King Mercy and Iustice were so met in one That Iustice scarce from Mercy could be knowne So for a Nation pittifull and loyall Great Britaine shall winne praise past all deniall No man shall need to grieue or to lament For 's place of Custome or Demolishment And blessings many will the Worke attend From the beginning to the very end But yet though pitty here we doe request That none may thinke themselues too much opprest Let such as must depart their houses know No winde so calme or warme did euer blow Nor euer was a Worke so good as this But that with some it blew or went amisse Then sith herein the wind blowes somwhat ill For such as ioyne to Pauls against her will That haue impair'd her strength by vaults cellars To make more roome for Buyers and for Sellers Let them with patience endure some losse And for the Worke sake beare a little crosse Not grudgingly or by pronouncing wrong Cause ther 's their Custom there they liued long ●or though desire of gaine 's a grieuous Tempter There is a Prouerb bids them Caueat Emptor And ne'rethelesse their Custome and their trade This House of God must new againe be made Was it not example scurrilous and rude At first to grant that trades should there intrudel Nay are they not accursed that did yeeld To make Gods Courts a merchandizing field May we not call them beasts euen to their faces That like bruit beasts defile such sacred places Things consecrated vnto P●ous vses Is 't fit that they should suffer foule abuses Is there no ciuill difference or ods Twixt cleane and vnclean things mans house Gods Shold Christians bones be dig'd out of their graues And laid with dogs bones in the fields by knaues That so more roome vnder the Church foundation May be for A-iaxe in a beastly fashion No easment but against the Temple-wals No other place to pisse or make Laystals No way to passe with burthens but throgh Pauls wher burthend cōsciences shold ease their soules And ' cause she is materiall as men tearme her Is it materiall therefore they should harme her Looke well about thee Reader and then see Whether such things as these ought so to be And after due consideration had then tell If therewithall God can be pleased well Or if there doe belong no curse or woe To such as first gaue way to wrong her so Or if it were a credit to our Nation At all to grant so base a toleration For we doe know thou wilt agree with vs To hold it vile and sacrilegious And all good men that after looke vpon her Will say 't is to this Land a great dishonor O that we had such gifts of tongue and pen As there is giuen to some sonnes of Men That by perswasiue reasons we might winne Th' abusers of Gods house to know their sinne That with their Soules they might no longer flatter But vnderstand it is a haynous matter And will be punished before mens eyes When all things wronged shall in iudgment rise But we are blockish yet not past our letters And being diuine we leaue it to our Betters SO now you Workmen listen what we say You are so call'd by work and not by play If euer you were Masters of your Trade Make this best Master-peece that ere you made 'T is for the Church and therefore doe not spare Your best aduice skill diligence and care And as some wayes you stand on reputation So labour now to get the commendation Not for precedency lest then you erre For all 〈◊〉 s one here both Free and Forreyner And as she doth receiue all sorts to prayer So any Worke-man any good Surueyor She may retaine to gaine her Reparation As for the Church is vs'd in euery Nation And yet we hold it were both sinne and pitty Sith Work-men liue in this renowned Citie Good Artists honest paying scot and lot If more then others they should be forgot But rather be preferr'd in some degree Before a Stranger whatsoe're he be And ' cause our Writer a poore Free-man is We hope these words no man can take amisse For what he write's according to his oath Which to infringe we know he will be loath That is the Cities honor to maintaine And also to aduance Her honest gaine So once againe we doe reuiue our Muse And to all workmen doe more counsell vse Learne by the Scriptures what you ought to doe Let them direct your hands and conscience to Ezra Ne'miah Chronicles and Kings And Haggai vvill shew you many things How iustly men did worke about the Temple Which there is Registred for your example And with what ioy and loue they did proceed The Booke of God will shew you if you reade For happy was that man that could deuise Most curious worke to grace that Edifice Or hee whose purse or person could present Ought that might help to make Her excellent Lead timber stone brasse iron some men gaue Some lyme some sand some glasse to make her braue And Laborers like Bees did labor truly Obseruing all their times and houres most duly Then if your owne gaine you doe only plod You are vnworthy for the House of God For if you worke by taske-worke or by day Your pay shall be as iust as ere was pay And therefore 't is expected you should bee Not sparing in your worke but francke and free Some men there are will maintain to ones face But such we hold both lewd and very base That in a worke for King or Church they may Trifle the time by loytring and delay Some will be working hard but when d' ee thinke Iust when they haue no come or trust for drinke Or when the Clocke is neare the stroke eleuen And say they haue so wrought e're since 't was seauen Or when some Officer they doe espie That otherwise cashiers them presently Some with their Rules do fidle vp and downe As if they did more worke then all the towne But mark them wel giue them their due check For one weeks work almost three daies they lack Some spend much time in finding fault and so To picke a thanke will nimbly runne or goe Till at the last the seed which they haue sowne Brings forth a fruit more fit to be their owne Some haue the gift of working more then some Vntill a holiday or Sunday come But then vvhat they haue got sixe dayes before They vvill consume it if'tvvere ten times more Mean while poor vvines children liue ful bare Hoping vvhen husbands come of better fare And they returne vvhen all the vvorke is done As poore as Iob or as the Vnthrist Sonne Some haue their jobs to doe in other places And so they vvorke like Ianus vvith tvvo faces And from that taske that longest vvill remaine They oftentimes an houre or tvvo vvill gaine But hee that in this worke proues such a lobber Is but a kinde of Sacrilegious Robber Others at euery one that by them walke Will to their fellowes haue some thing to talke while their tongues are tatling 't is their course To hold their hands and that is ten times worse So there are other some that for a need When hempe is scarce will onely buy gape-seed And looke about as if nought were their taske But for to answer all that men will aske And thinke it is a colour fit t' excuse The precious time they wrongfully abuse These like some Schollers that are sent to schools Haue a good conscience though not little fooles And make Pauls-worke the Prouerb true doth stand Of euery little thing they take in hand With whom to liue a faithfull Clarke ath ' works As good goe dwell
