GOOD NEVVES For all true hearted Subjects VIDELICET The PARLIAMENT goes on Written by FRANCIS MUSSELL Vintner THough Times be troublous yet true peace I bring To all who feare God and obey the King This Emblem thus deciphers the intent What by the Ensigne and the booke are meant The Ensigne cleere above his head doth flourish With joy to shew that God his flock doth nourish The Book presents to us the Truth in which W' are taught of God how to be truly rich So to exemplifie and keepe out harmes Are barricado'd with the City Armes Blest be our God above whose preservation Hath bin to us to all mens admiration Soli Deo Gloria GOod newes true hearts heare this And be no longer sad Though things have bin amisse Yet now we may be glad Some were abusive and too blame Yet all shall wel e're long Reformed be let 's blesse Gods name The Parliament goes on Those that have been ill members In Church and Common-weale And prov'd themselves dissemblers Their Knaveries to heale Shall plainly be unmaskt and then Must suffer for the wrong Whereby they have opprest poore men The Parliament goes on Some would have brought curs'd Popery Into this blessed Isle With Masses Crosses Foppery 'T was fear'd within a while Their Beads and Holy-water Were false and smelt too strong But better newes came after The Parliament c. No tricks of mans inventions Can crosse our just desires Though base be the intentions Of Iesuites and Friers That would obscure if they knew how The truth of every tongue But they 'l be more discover'd now The Parliament c. Where sneake your lame Projectors That did mens means devour The Common-wealths infectors Whilst they had any power Poor children oft might want their bread By tricks they snatcht it from Them but such Rascalls names are spred The Parliament c. The Iudge unjust doth tremble When Truth doth come to light Nor dares stay to dissemble But run away by night The conscience will declare most cleare What mischiefes men have done For now things plainly do appeare The Parliament goes on Such men as have been faithfull To God King State and Land Though vitious men be hatefull Yet honest men will stand To venture coine and goods nay this Their life even all they can For truths sake and true hearts that wish The Parliament goe on Alas we helplesse Commons Our hearts began to bleed To sweare to the new Cannons Et Caetera indeed We might inthral'd our selves thereby If such a thred we'ad spun But we had grace them to deny The Parliament goes on Thus were we pincht and streitned Nay almost stupify'de In sence yet now well wakened By the true supreme Guide Who never any heart forsakes Which ever rests upon God and his cares to him betakes The Parliament goes on To take the Protestation Good subjects strive and chuse No friends unto our Nation I thinke them that refuse Religion must be perfect pure Not wavering to turne Then God will be with us be sure The Parliament c. The King Queen and royall Progeny God blesse with many yeares Lord to this Nation ne're deny Good honest noble Peeres That wee reposing all our trust In thee may flourish still Then all our Foes shall be acurst In hatching any ill The Members of our Parliament Lord give them happy dayes With grace and truth with one consent Direct in all their wayes That all may for thy glory stand Vnto Eternity Lord crowne them in the Blessed Land Amen Amen say I.
