Bloudy Mary Reign'd no rest was then From sorrow trouble anguish grief and pain What Havock made she in the Church what slaughter The bloud of Saints to her was mirth and laughter How many Saints were martyr'd in the flames When of the Government she held the Reins But when ELIZABETH came in her stead 'T was like a Resurrection from the Dead Then Joy and Gladness ran down like a River Then Peace and Truth did sweetly kiss each other She profligated Popery and threw down Baal's Altars to the ground in every Town And did erect the Gospel Truth and Light The splendour whereof ever since shin'd bright Heaven like a Shield hath compass'd it about When Hell hath often strove to puff it out VVhich I will evidently make appear Then hearken with attention and give ear While yet this Noble Queen sate on the Throne The Spaniards Hatched Mischief came upon Her Majesty with all their great Armado Threatning the English with a proud Bravado Their Sails o'respread the Seas their Ships do cover The VVaters of the deep they passed over Now when the Spanish and the English Fleet Together in the boistrous Seas did meet Against the Spanish God stretcht out his hand The several Winds came forth at his Command Both East and West both South and Northern Wind Against the Spanish Forces were combin'd So that the Ships fell foul of one another Then they were sadly bruis'd and broke together Both Ships and Men i' th' Sea were overturned And what the Waters spared the Fireships burned Thus God gave her a Glorious Victory And brought his People out of Jeopardy The foolish Spaniard did the Triumph sing Before the Victory a senseless thing Thou said the Spaniard That Popes Laws didst break Vnto the Spanish Yoke shalt yield thy Neck But he was vainly puft up and his hope Attain'd not unto its designed scope The Spanish Fleet was beat and put to flight For God Almighty did for England fight Then she more wisely did the Triumph sing When God to her the Victory did bring Thou said she That Gods Holy Laws did break Vnto a Womans Yoke shalt yield thy Neck Thus she from War with great Applause returned When most o' th' Spanish Fleet were drown'd or burned In Royal James his days another Plot Was by the Jesuitish Heads begot It had almost come to the birth and then It was miscarried and so proved vain The Match and Train had well nigh come together But then God did both Match and Train discover A Papist did this Popish Plot disclose Though sore against his will and did expose Through Gods good Providence that Curst Design The King and Parliament to undermine He sent a Letter which was intercepted And brought to th' King so was the Craft detected This Letter said wise James foretells a Blow This Blow is Powder I conjecture so So Search was made i' th' bowels of the Ground And there great heaps of sulphurous dust were found So Watch was kept and while they watch they spy A Messenger of Hell come very nigh With Match in hand with purpose and desire To set the Train and Powder all on Fire But they laid hands on him and held him fast Thus did our God that Hellish Purpose blast But now God hath a new Deliverance wrought When we had been into new dangers brought Again the Popish Crew were set on fire Of Hell the Devil did their Souls inspire With Curst Designs to rise i' th' night and kill Of bloud of Protestants to drink their fill To slay both Young and Old like savage beasts To slay the suckling at the Mothers Breasts To make the Streets run down with bloud to fire The Houses this was their vile hearts desire But God in time this wickedness prevented And brought to light the mischiefs they invented Rejoyce therefore and Songs of Triumph sing To Jesus Christ our Everlasting King Make Feasts i' th' day make Bonfires in the Night O'recome the darksome shades with flaming light King David thought no shame to dance for joy That God sav'd him and did his foes destroy Joy ye likewise The Sword was at your Throat And then God brought to light that Devilish plot Let joyful Echoes then abroad resound And with loud Acclamations rend the ground And pierce the Skies with Crys and testifie Your joyfulness with curious Pageantry And when you make Triumphant Shews therein Burn up the Cursed Pope that Man of Sin Who doth upon the Seven Mountains dwell Burn him with Flames and parboyl him for Hell Up Protestants repay the Pope his due And do to him as he hath done to you In Smithfield Flames Saints were to Ashes turned In Smithfield Flames this day let him be burned FINIS
