A77259	The devills white boyes: or, A mixture of malicious malignants, with their much evill, and manifold practises against the kingdome and Parliament. VVith a bottomlesse sack-full of knavery, popery, prelacy, policy, trechery, malignant trumpery, conspiracies, and cruelties, filled to the top by the malignants, laid on the shoulders of time, and now by time emptied forth, and powred out, to shew the truth, and shame the Devill. Time now at the last poures out much knavery. The Devill holds down fast to hinder the discovery. Malignants are the Divells agents still, the sack is England, which they strive to fil with misery and mischief, and this sack full stufft, is laid upon times aged back; time poures it out now in an angry mood, that all their knaveries may be understood.
