handy-work Of mens Mechanick Paws instilling Divinity in them by feeling From whence they start up chosen Vessels As folks by touching get the Meazles So Cardinals they say do grope At th' other end the new made Pope Bell and the Dragon's Chaiplans were More moderat then them by far For they poor Knaves were glade to cheat To get their Wives and Children meat But these will not be fob'd off so They must have wealth and power too Or else they 'l make their party good By making Nations swim in blood And thus I reasoned the Case Once with my Master Hudibras All that I said was too prolix Here to repeat I only fix Upon the Morrow with a few words What thou has said's not worth two Cow Turds Reply'd the Squire and then he smites Fore-head with Fist to rouse his wits Which straight did take th' alarm so hot That down to Tongue and Teeth they got From whence thus worded out they flie Like Bullets from Artilerie Ye Sectaries quoth he have bee-heads Thy prats a Cerberus with three-heads Neither of which barks any bon-sence But railing blasphemy and non-sence Thou' rt ignorant in Logicks Art As I will show thee ere we part But to the point now I will close And reason 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And first I say for my defence Thy argument wants Consequence Though things agree to both together It follows not the one 's the other Affirmatives in second figure Nothing conclude in Logicks Ligure Which any constant man believes So we may prove Financiers Thieves Camelions Beef and Cabbage eaters And Lawyers and Physicians cheaters That Horse are Men and Owls are Ounces That Privie Counsellers are Dunces That Chamber-pots are Looking Glasses And Senators of Justice Asses That Colledges and Muses Cavernes Are Bawdie-houses turn'd and Taverns That Stews are places of Contrition And Pulpits Trumpets of Sedition And Merlines Prophesies Evangels And Dees Spirits holy Angels That all new Scurvies are the Pox That Quakers Books are Orthodox That rosted Wildcat is fed Lam That Gresham Colledge is a Bedlam Most of our first Reformers bad-men And all the House of Commons mad-men That Tallow Cakes are Ambergreese That Sun and Moon are Cheshire Cheese And Whiggs as loyal in Opinions As any of the Kings Dominions This for thy form now for thy matter Thou rails one some others to flatter Thy Medium's seeming true yet false are As Turnips growing in the Paltzar Or any other fertile ground Hollow with Worms though skin be sound Like Aples in the Lake of Sodom Like beauties clapped in the Bodom Like sour Drink in Silver Tankers Like Golden Petticoats on Shankers Like bald Heads with Periwiggs Like sweet Powder on frisled Giggs With aged Ladies now in fashion When they would play beside the Cushion But who reason in generals Th' argument contentions and brauls They bring but bout-gates and golinzies Like Dempster disputing with Meinzies Men hardly can scratch others faces When they are distant twenty paces I l'e neerer come thy thrusts to Paree Whereas thou dost Argumentaree That Bear-baiting may be made out Without all question and doubt By holy Writ as lawful as is Lay-elder-Presbyterian Classis Though few be clear how doth the thing go I answer unto thee distinguo For if thou mean by Text express Thou speak'st the truth as all confess This is our Orthodox Defence Presbytries prov'd by Consequence It is no Popish superstition By consequential tradition To prove an Article of Faith As learned Polyander saith What have our Doctors else to say For Paedobaptism or that day Which chang'd was when the Church spoke Greek From last to first day of the Week If thou were put to this distress To prove Bishops by word express Then Oyster-wives might lock their Fish up Come to the Streets and cry No Bishop Whereas thou dost affirm and say Presbytry-men are Beasts of Prey VVho do establish Gospel-order By Rapine Sacriledge and Murder Thy reason hear both but and ben halts It 's not the causes but the mens faults Unto that Sore I gave this Plaister VVhen I did dispute with my Master To blame a cause for persons vices Is one of Satans main devices VVherewith he very oft doth make VVell-meaning men the truth forsake It 's not superfluous and vain To tell a good Tale ov'r again None can deny but these things fell out But the true cause thou dost not smell out Thy fallacy consists in this Thou mak'st a cause where no cause is Children are teached in the Schooles VVho reason so they are but fools VVas never yet a Reformation Of Church in any Age or Nation But still the Devil to make it vain The outmost of his wits doth strain He beats all Hell up with a Taber To make Reformers lose their labour VVhen first he sees he doth no good By persecution and blood By seeming Sheep and yet but Goats By VVeeds appearing VVheat and Oats By seeming Diamonds yet but Glass By seeming Gold and yet but Brass By Serpents in appearance Fish By Silver Potles fill'd with Pish By Saints without and Fiends within He strives the cause to undermine As is recorded in the Pages Of Stories written in all Ages VVhen Christ appeared came a Theudas And with Saint Peter came a Judas With Luther Rotmans Knipperdolings Who troubled Munster with their foolings David Georges Johns of Leyden As is at large describ'd by Sleyden When Calvin came then came Socinians When Perbins came then came Arminians With Hendersons and Cants and Trails Came some who whisked Ladies Tails Who for such take us are to blame as One would revile St. Paul for Demas And others also came to wit These Locusts of the th' Infernal Pit Who seem'd at first all Covenant-takers But straight turned Anabaptists Quakers Artemonits Photinions Servetians Socinians Manitheans Novations Scepticks and Corpocrocians Prochanits Sabellians Setheans Circumcellians Herodians Herminians Somonians Armenians Docitheans Menandrians Eunomeans Cassandrians Eutichians Nestorians And Doctor Hernry Morians Noetians and Martionitae Gnosticks and Anthropomorphit Gortheans and Calphurnitans And

Maximinians Abelians Thebusians Ophitae and Pepusrans Rhetorians Quintilianists Circoterists Pristilianists Eucratits Hermogenians Marians and Origenians Corintheans and Alogians Some half some whole Peligians Some Antitactae some Montences Ascitae some some Royatenses Some Donatists Volesians Some Archonticks some Aetians And some turn Theodotians Tascodrongits Nepotians And some Disciples turn'd of Brown VVho first infected every Town Doritheans and Fratricels Some Neilorists with Hood and Bells Some Transilvanian Tritheitae VVho once made drunk with Aquavitae VVith Fists Alstedius did belabour And tore the Beard of Bethlehem Gabor Some Adamits who as the speech is Cast off their Petticoats and Breeches Some other Hereticks more gross Describ'd by Alexander Ross For which at present I want time And though I had I have not Rhime
