about her knees a pre●ty wanton posture and such as may beget a lascivious fancy in the dullest conceite then she will tumble over her head let all her coates f●ll about hee eares so that ye may see all for nothing Then again she will look melancolly as if she were a sad widdow mourning in a black bag for the decease of her husband though indeed sorrow cannot drawe a teare from her working eyes then she wil appeare like a holy sister casting her eyes with a silent gleg upwards but presently her devotions are ended if she behold but a red sided Apple for she loves them better then Religion or libertye of the Subject Then you shall behold her tumbling on her back with her legs spred wide abroad and it is thought that some women have learnt their tumbling tricks from Prince Ruperts Monkey she differs from your feminine good fellowes and that is she cannot sing any amorous songs yet shee le take tobacco breake the pipes drinke wine and breake the glasses and roare as well as any singing Syren and on a pipe if she get it in her mouth she will perfectly expresse the tune of Mee have beene in England Where I have seene such sport The calling of the Parliament Hath quite put downe the Court. And t is thought that if she were but admitted into a conuenticle she would make all the Brownists dance after her pipe to the tune of sweete sister Ruth come Kisse me now Thus this monkey is a Kind of movable body that can cringe and complement like a Venetian curtisan though her face be not so handsome yet all her gestures and postures are wanton and full of provocation she being nothing els as many others are but a skin full of lust her eyes are full of lascivious glances and generally all her actions do administer some temptation or other so that she cannot chuse but work upon Prince Ruperts affections and if he he any thing effeminate as it is not to be doubted but he is forward enough in expressions of love as wel as valour for as the Spanish painter wrote in a Church window sunt with a C. which was an abomination so her name is an embleme of wantounes sunt written in that manner being often called a Monkey which is a kind of prophanation and thus you sée what prince Ruperts Monkey doth nominally and figuratiuely signifye she being in all her postures the picture of a loose wanton who is often figuratively called a Monkey Her malignant tricks and qualities First she hath never a good condition for find a whore without bad qualities and a monkey without mad tricks and you may hang them both together She is most certainly a great malignant cares not how the Cause goes forward so she may sit on her taile end crack-nuts She is unconstant and will leap from place to place as the Brownist doth from point to point in his Sermons and it may be supposed that she learnt her giddy actions from her halfe cousins which are Baboons Violent she is in all her actions and would tear the Miter from the Bishops and pul the Crown from the sacred brow of Majesty if she were permitted to come neere them for she doth love to rend teare and demolish all things as the Brownists doe Her dyet is a le mode de France that is after the French fashion for she loves kick-shaws and dairty novelties and hath a constant appetite to delectable things as if her mouth were made onely for a Lenton mill to grind figs almonds and raisens and it is doubtfull whether Ladies instructed her or she taught them to waste time in devouring sugar-plums and sweet-meats for she will eate more then a parish Mid-wife And because she is a Court Delinquent and ready to play shrewd turnes there if she be not prevented she is therefore tyed to the nave of a wheele which she rowls before 〈◊〉 as Prince Rupert tumbles about the wheel of Fortune and ro●●l● his Fate before him pillaging and plundring wheresoever he comes And now we talk of plundering this Monkey is by nature a notable plunderer for if she were put into a Study of Classicall Authors or into one of the shops in Pauls-Churchyard do you think she would reade any of the Books No but in the Study she would teare and rend all the papers and letters that shee could find and all the books then she would spill the ink upon the table and poure out all the sand-dust If Prince Rupert should but let her raise an Army of Monkeys or transport them hither by shipping from beyond Sea it is thought that this Monkey with an Army of Malignant Monkeys would come and plunder all the Coster-mongers houses in London and all the Fruiterers stalls and moreover she and her Forces would plunder all the Ladies closets and make vile worke amongst their sweet-meats but yet she would be more merciful then Prince Rupert for she would take away no gold or silver but nuts cakes apples ginger-bread and the like should be all her pillage which she would seize upon Besides all these tricks she is a cunning jugler for she can cast a mist before soldiers eyes so that when they think they have gotten their pay in their own hands if they do but open their hands they shall find nothing in them but a rusty musket or a pike Morever if she should come into a Church if she did but breathe or blow upon a Service-book and afterward bid a Brownist open it he would sweare that all the leaves were ful of nothing but Crosses Images Beads Surplices Hoods Coaps and all kind of Popish Ceremonies It is thought that she made the Adamites walk naked so that the holy sisters thought it a divine innocence to shew their Monkeys to their zealous brethren The Family of love had the same zeale to monkifie themselves and through the provocation of the spirit which they called holy zeal they became as lustfull as monkeys and none must be admitted into their conventicles but the monkified brethren and sisters of the family Thus P. Ruperts Monkey is a kind of old little wrinkled old faced petulant wanton and malignant gentlewoman the little whore of Babylon in a green coat that somtimes rides upon the beast that is Prince Ruperts dog that tempts the Prince by her lascivious gestures to think oftner on a woman then he would do though I beleeve he dare stand for the feminine cause and hath plundered some Ladies cabynits as wel as Countrey towns She is indeed a skin-ful of folly a malignant ancient gentlewoman a Cavalier-monkey a jugler that hath turned the University-caps to Court-feathers It is fit therefore she should be delivered up and baited to death this Lent before the well-affected brethren who without doubt wil grant this to be a considerable motion concerning Prince Ruperts malignant Monkey Prince Ruperts Monkey is a toy That doth exceed his dog calld Boy Which through dogged folly Both barkes and bites But this delights The Prince when 's melancholy He puts sweetemeats and sugar plumbs Into his Monkeys tothlesse gums Which open like an oyster For he doth esteeme A wench I meane More then a Nun in a Cloister And all his Cavaleeroes bold That live at Oxford uncontrould When as they are halfe drunkish Their heate to quench Will have a wench That Lusty is and Monkish FJNJS
