Wales These and worse Sins all pardon'd stand Provided when our Forces Land That Grace to merit from our Hand They purchase our kind Smiles and Favour According to their Good Behaviour For Instance some such Service do us As bring a Ship of War o'er to us Betray some Town or Fort or Charm ye Some Troop o'er from th'Usurper's Army Do this and our Good Graces reap And well they buy their Necks so cheap Nay for a Spill more and above We 'll pay half Mony not all Love Resolving to Regain our Crowns As Lewis Buys his Conquer'd Towns And lastly we Exclude all those A Small Exception 't is God knows From the first Minute of our Landing All General Pardon notwithstanding Shall dare do any Act or Thing T' oppose Restoring of your King This Lash the Black-Coat Tribe shall Scourge ye For this last Swoop takes all the Clergy From Haughty Miter'd Prelate down To plain Sir John in tatter'd Gown Poor Parson who rings in the People With Candle-stick in Country Steeple All that in Heretick Pray'rs shall dare ye To Pray-Success to Will and Mary Nor shall this maul the Pastor's Hide Alone but Fleece the Sheep beside For woe to all their smarting Backs Shall dare to pay one Penny Tax For that you 're told in Declaration Is to Abet the Usurpation Thus take the Kingdom round Poor Soul He Forfeits Head that Pays but Poll. To sum up all when we begin Our Mild Forgiving Hand once in Our tender-hearted Inclination Excepts no more than All the Nation As bound by Romish Oath Religious To act with Mercy thus Prodigious And now our Church of England Greeting With some few Honey-words at meeting Some small Civility Complimental Nor with least Reservation Mental To talk Romantickly or fright ye With Boasted Wonders over-mighty Intended by us to Protect it Because we 'd have you not expect it Know then with the same Word Most Royal Of which already you 've had Tryal Your Heretick Rights maintain'd devoutly We 'll act your Churches Champion stoutly To speak in Style some call Ironick We 'll 't with Orthodox Canonick Secur'd in all their Privileges And this we vouch in Verbo Regis But as to either School or College Or Academy we acknowledge Our Declaration Mum says nought And why because with Wise fore-thought Forth'old Substantial Maudlin Breed Under the Roâ—e we have decreed To make Them Nurs'ries to supply us With Father Teagues and Obadiahs Now You th' Heroick Men o' th' Blade Professors of the Martial Trade With Hearts most stout and Brains most shallow And so more fit for present swallow To quit th' Usurper we exhort all Th' Usurper whom we hate most mortal And why because he takes delight in Our natural Abhorrenâ—e â—ighting Who ever shall the Tyrant sham And come to Gentle J s the Lamb Besides our unknown Favours show'd 'em We 'll pay 'em all th' Usurper ow'd 'em Their whole Arrears each Doit that 's due Ay and pay Lewis Army too A pretty Score when both Counts meet His some odd Pounds for Land and Fleet A lumping roaring thund'ring Sum And Reck'ning-day must one day come But with our dear sweet Face t' enlighten ye Let not that paltry Triflle frighten ye Nay and considering what heap Of Blessings from our Reign you 'll reap It is a penny-worth dog cheap Which you 'll no doubt pay every Farthing And find you 're Savers by the bargain And lastly for a smart Conclusion For all our snarling Foes Confusion One parting home dead doing Blow As all Objections shall o'rethrow We promise you and mark us rightly A Vow to which we 'll hold most tightly By our old Model stamp and Charter To Reign no flincher and no starter In Church and State Our Wiâ—e and 〈◊〉 Our last remaining Thred shall be All of a piece with our first Spinning As we design'd from the Beginning If this Plain-Dealing will not win ye In troth I think the Devil 's in ye FINIS * WHereas the most Christian King in pursuance of the many obliging Promises he has made Us of giving Us his Effectual Assistance for the recovering of our Kingdoms and in order to it has lent Us so many of his Troops as may be abundantly sufficient to unty the hands of our Subjects and make it safe for them to return to their Duty * And has notwithstanding for the present according to our desire purposely declined sending over Forces so Numerous as might raise any jealousie in the Minds of our Good Subjects All which Foreign Troops as soon as we shall be fully setled in the quiet and peaceable Possession of our Kingdoms We do hereby promise to send back * Tho an Affair of this Nature speaks for it self nor do We think Our selves at all obliged to say any thing more upon this occasion than That We come to Assert our Just Rights and to Deliver our People from the Oppression they lye under yet when we consider how Miserably many of Our Subjects were cheated into the late Revolution by the Art of Ill Men and particularly by the Prince of Orange's Declaration which was taken upon Trust and easily believed then but since appearâ— notoriously False in all the parts of it consisting no less of Assertions that have been evidently disproved than of Promises that were never intended to be performed To prevent the like Delusions for the time to come c. * And doubtless from the Observation of the Temper and Complexion the Methods and Maxims of the present Usurper from the Steps he has already taken when it was most necessary for him to give no distaste to the People as well as from the Nature of all Usurpation which can never be supported but by the same ways of Fraud and Violence by which it was set up there is all the reason in the World to believe that the beginning of this Tyranny like the five first Years of Nero is like to prove the mildest part of it and all they have yet suffer'd is but the beginning of the Miseries which those very Men who were the great Promoters of the Revolution may yet live to see and feel c. †Our arrival in France the only part in Europe to which we could retire with safety * For all wise Men ought and all good Men will take care of their Posterity and therefore it is to be remembred that if it should please Almighty God as one of the severest Judgments upon these Kingdoms for the many Rebellions and Perjuries they have been guilty of so far to permit the Continuation of the present Usurpation that we should not be restored during our Life time yet an indisputable Title to the Crown will survive in the Person of our dearest Son the Prince of Wales our present Heir apparent and his Issue and for default of that in the Issue of such other Sons as we have great reason to hope the Queen being now with Child we may yet leave behind us And what the Consequences of that is like to be may easily be understood by all that are not strangers to the long and bloody Contentions between the two Houses of York and Lancaster * Except the Persons following viz. Duke of Ormond Marquiss of Winchest Earl of Sund. Earl of c. Dr. Tillotson Dean of Cant. Dr. c. Hunt Fisherman * Except also all Persons who as Judges or Jurymen or otherwise had a hand in the Barbarous Murther of Mr. John Ashton and Mr. Cross or of any others who have been illegally Condemned and Executed for their Loyalty to us * Provided always That all Magistrates who expect any Benefit of Our Gracious Pardon shall immediately after Notice of our Landing make some Publick Manifestation of their Allegiance to Us and of their Submission to Our Authority and also Publish and cause to be Proclaimed this our Declaration as â—oon as it shall come to their Hands c. †And all Spies and such as have berray'd Our Councils during our late Absence from England that by an early return to their Duties and by any Signal Mark of it as by Seizing to Our Use or Delivering into our Hands any of Our Forts or by bringing over to Us any Ships of War or Troops in the Usurper's Army or any new raised and Armed by themselves or by any other Eminent Good Service according to their several Opportunities and Capacities shall manifest the Sincerity of their Repentance shall not only have their respective Pardons immediately passed under the Great Seal of England but shall otherwise be Considered and Rewarded by Us as the Merit of their Case shall require * And We do hereby strictly Forewarn and Prohibit any of Our Subjects whatsoever either by Collecting or Paying any of the Illegal Taxes lately imposed upon the Nation or any part of Our Revenue or by any other ways to Abet or Support the present Usurpation †And We do hereby further Declare and Promise That We will Protect and Maintain the Church of England as it is now by Law established in all their Rights Privileges and Possessions And that upon all Vacancies of Bishopricks and other Dignities and Benefices within our Disposal care shall be taken to have them filled with the most Worthy of their own Communion * And we do hereby farther declare That all Officers or Soldiers by Sea or Land now engaged in the Usurper's Service who shall after notice of our Landing at any time before they engage in any Fight or Battel against our Forces quit the said Illegal Service and return to their Duty shall not only have their respective Pardons but shall likewise be fully satisfied and paid all the Arrears due to them from the Usurper and that even the Foreigeers themselves c. * And generally we shall delight to spend the remainder of our Reign as we have always design'd since we came to the Crown in studying to do every thing that may contribute to the Re-establishment of the Greatness of the English Monarchy upon its old and true Foundation c.
