Reall Persecution or the Foundation of a general Toleration Displaied and Portrayed by a proper Emblem and adorned with the same Flowers wherewith the Scoffers of this last age have strowed their Libellous Pamphlets Collected out of severall books of the Sectaries to discover to world their wicked and abusive language against godly Presbyterian Ministers Esay 28. 22. Now therefore be ye not mockers c. 1 Pet. 3. 13. And who is he that will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good Vers 14 But to you that suffer for righteousnesse sake happy are ye be not afraid of these men nor troubled Vers 16 Having a good conscience that whereas them that thus speak evil of you as of evil doers they may be ashamed that thus falsly accuse you c. The Picture of an English Persecutor or a Foole Ridden Ante Presbeterian Sectary For Opposeing Authority Reuileing the Assembly Slandering the Gouernment by Presbetry and disturbing the ministers at the time of their publique excersise by giueing up bills in mockery calling the ministers preists rideing slaues horse leeches Cormorants gorbellyd Idoll Consistory of devills etc hath not this discoverd jshmaels carnall spirits persecuting godly Isaaks 1. MArtins Eccho pag. 16. Loving friends and neighbours stand still gaping with your mouths open and quietly bow down your backs whilst you are bridled and sadled and let the holy humble gentle Presbyterians get up and ride c. 2. They le deal very gentle with you though the Proverb be Set a beggar on horse-back and he will ride to the Devil 3. Though they have spurs yet they will not use them yet if they do chance to gall your backs and shoulders and force you to cry out c. 4. Then you shall have liberty to leap out of the frying pan into the fier by making your appeal to the Common-councell of Presbyters 5. Here you shall have Rehoboams answer our fathers the Bishops chastis'd you with whips but we will chastise you with scorpions c. 6. For the same power which was lately resident in an Arch-bishop is inherent and of divine right in every Presbyter 7. Hath not the Protestant Religion been lockt up in the brest of the Assembly 8. Hath not your Faith been pind on their sleeve and you must take the result of them whether it be right or wrong 9. You have ingag'd to suppresse Prelacy High-Commission c. thus you have beat the bush but the Presbyterians have caught the bird 10. Thus to shun the smoak you have leapt into the fier 11. Pag. 7. 8. Be ye mounted upon your great Horses that trundle you to and fro from London to Westminster 12. Mount all your Cannons and advance like mighty men of valour c. even whole black Regiments of you into the Fields 13. Pag. 21. Presbytery is but a shift at a pinch what good the Devil will have of it I know not 14. Who knows the luck of a lowzy cur he may prove a good dog 15. Pag. 5. 6. Sir John Presbyters life is like neither to be long nor good 16. He will be brought to some sudden untimely end perhaps to hanging 17. Presbytery shall have but a short time to do mischief in and then the people will sing Hey tosse the Devils dead 18. The Synod shall speedily be dissolv'd and the Devil chaind up 19. Rejoyce oh England Presbytery shall shortly have never a child to vex thee or to suck up thy fat 20. Then farewell Assembly of Divines dissembled at Westminster Sir Simon Synod and his son Presbyter Jack 21. Pag. 5. The barbarous Caniball Sir John Synod c. 22. Let him suffer his teeth and nayles to be pluckt out and cut off by an Independent Barber 23. That hereafter he may never bite or scratch more 24. Well Sir Simon if you will not mend your manners Martin will observe all your postures 25. An Martin will set Christopher Skale-skie Rowland Rattle-priest Martin Claw-clergy and Bartholmew Bang-priest upon your back 26. And in time these will pull down your Synod and your sphear about your ears 27. Behold a Troup comes Sir Simon Martin is of the tribe of Gad. 28. Though a Troup of Sir Johns overcome him for a time yet he will overcome him at last 29. Martin is resolv'd to jeet you out of your black Cloaks and Cassocks 30. Martin intends no longer to dally with you but to handle you without mittins 31. He'lethwack your Cassocks and rattle your jackets 32. He 'l stamp upon the panch of your villany and squeeze out the garbidge of your iniquity 33. He is resolved to beat you and your son Jack into a mouse hole 34. Ther 's not a man of Martins but is a man of valourâ— and mettall 35. These all hate a Tithe divouring Priest as they hate the Devil 36. You stif necked Priests turn to Martin lest his fierce wrath confound you and your whole posterity 37. Harken you rebellious Assembly to Martin and persecute no more 38. Persecution hath a thousand Jack-tricks to block up all passages and stop all mouths 39. Pag. 2. He turn'd Reverend Imprimatur and here was all as sure as the Devil and Presbyter could make it 40. Pag. 14. We imploy Doctor Featley's Devil to make up a Description of the Anabaptists In the Nativity of Presbytery 41. That the Devil made the urchin Sir John Presbyter an abject a fugetive newly come out of Scotland 42. Pag. 5. Like his father the Devil he delights in black 43. That he is fitter to be a weather-cock then a Divine 44. Onely the evil spirit of Mercury presents him to be the Devils goat-head A Pamphlet against Tithes 45. The sabred Ordinance of Tithes was wisely thought on before the Directory 46. Because he is worse then an Infidel and denies the faith that provides not for his Family 47. My Lord the Defendant smels of a fat Benefice 48. See his pockets are full of presbyterian Steeples the Spires stick under his girdle 49. Ha ha ha Instead of weather-cocks every Spire hath got a black box on it 50. Instead of Moses Aaron and the two Tables we shall have Sir Simon and Sir John holding the late solemn League and Covenant 51. And then that spotlesse sacred Ordinance of Tithes the two Tables of our Presbyterian Gospel painted on all the Churches in England 52 O brave Sir Simon the bels in your pockets chime all in ours chime all out 53. I pray you give us a funeral Homely for your friends before you depart here is twenty shillings for your pains 54. T is Sacriledge to bring down the prise as it was in the beginning is now and shall be ever more world without end 55. Our temporizing Doctors are not so simple to swim against the stream 56. Their Religion moves upon the wheel of the State 57. I would your Lordships would call in your Ordinance for Tithes and turn them to the peoples good wils 58. Then we should have a tithe Pig sold for a peny Sacred Decretall 59. The Ordinance permitting none to Preach but such as are Ordained is a Patten of the Spirit worse then the Monopoly of Soap 60. Therefore we wisely consulted of a Committee of Examination to be chosen out of us 61. It must not be esteemed a Court of Inquisition that 's Popery 62. Onely an inlet to a thorough Reformation that 's a goodly name may do much good 63. O ye two houses of Parliament make an other Ordinance that all the martins may be made to fly the three Kingdoms the next Mid-summer with Cuccoes and Swallows 64. That so we may have a Blew-cap Reformation amongst bats owles jackdaws wood-cocks 65. Then Blew-cap for us A Bil given up at M. Calamy's Church as followeth 66. You are desired to remember the Priest-Ridden-slaves that went about to gather hands for the disbanding Sir Tho. Fairfaxes Army Reverend Assembly up arise and jog For you have fairly fisht and caught a frog Now you have sate four years pray can you tell A man the way that Christ went down to Hell In these two years what can a wise man think That you have done ought else but eat and drink Presbytery climb'd to the top of fame Directory and all from Scotland came O monstrous idlenesse alack and welly Our learned Clergy mind nought but their belly IUDE 17 18 19. Beloved remember the words that were spoken by the Apostles and our Lord Iesus Christ How they told you there should be mockers in the last times who should walk after their ungodly lusts These are they that separate themselves sensual having not the spirit These are they that make it their common practise and delight to cast reproach and contempt upon the Gospel and the faithful Messengers and Ministers thereof London Printed for J.
