A SATYR AGAINST IN-JUSTICE: OR, Sc—gs upon Sc—gs.

1.

A Butchers Son (Judge) Capital,

Poor Protestants for to enthral,

And England to enslave, Sirs.

2.

Lose both our Laws and Lives (we must)

When to do Justice, we intrust

So known and errand Knaves, Sirs.

3.

Some hungry Priests he once did fell

With mighty Stroaks, and them to Hell

Sent furiously away, Sirs.

4.

Would you know why? The reason's plain;

They had no English nor French Coyn

To purchase longer Stay, Sirs.

5.

The Pope, to Purgatory sends

Who neitheir Money have (nor Friends;)

In this he's not alone, Sirs.

6.

Our Judge to Mercy's not inclin'd,

Unless Gold change Conscience and Mind,

You are infallibly gone, Sirs.

[Page]

7. His Father, once exempted was

Out of all Juries; VVhy? Because

He was a man of Blood, Sirs.

8.

And why the Butcherly Son, forsooth,

Should now be Judge and Jury both.

Can't well be understood, Sirs.

9.

The good old man, with Knife and Knocks,

Made harmless Sheep and stubborn Ox

Stoop to him in his fury.

10.

But the Brib'd Son, like greedy Auff,

Kneels down and worships Golden Caff;

And so did all the Jury.

11.

Better hadst been at Father's Trade,

An honest Livelihood t'have made,

In hampering Bulls with Collers,

12.

Than to thy Country prove unjust,

First sell, and then betray thy Trust

For so many hard Rix-dollers.

13.

Priests and Physician, thou didst save

From Gallows, Fire, and the Grave;

For which we can't endure thee.

14.

The one can ne'er absolve thy Sins,

And th'other, though he now begins,

Of Knavery ne're can cure thee.

15.

But lest we all should end thy Life,

And with a keen-whet Chopping-knife,

In a thousand pieces cleave thee,

16.

Let th' Parliament first him undertake,

They'll make the Rascal stink at Stake;

And so like a Knave let's leave thee.

FINIS.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
