Englands Object: Or, Good and true Newes to all True-hearted Subjects, for the taking and apprehending of that horrid deluding Sower of Sedition Hugh Peters, by the name of Thomson, in Southwarke, Saturday September the first: With his Examination and Entertainment by the rest of the Rebellious crew now in the Tower of London.
The tune is, Come hither my own sweet Duck.
COme let us tryumph and be folly
brave Cavaléers every one,
For I have more News to tell yée
then any Diurnall can:
Hugh Peters he is taken,
of a truth I tell to you,
The Rump is not forsaken,
to them hee'l preach anew.
Then hey ho, Hugh Peters
cannot you find a Text.
To please your fellow Brethren,
they are so highly vext.
This is the man was wanting
above this thrée months space,
And all the Rump lamenting
they could not sée his face,
For he was déeply learned,
all which they very well knew,
But since he is returned
now Gallows claim thy due.
Then hey ho Hugh Peters
cannot you quote a Text,
To please your holy Sisters
they are so highly vext.
Now having so much leisure,
to tell what came to passe,
Concerning of his ceasure
and how he taken was.
In Southwarke side he lodg'd.
some-times in Kentish Town:
From place to place he doged,
till publikely he was known.
Then hey ho Hugh Peters
how like you now the Text
Methinks the Tower Quarters
have made you soundly vext.
He strangely turn'd his name,
and Thomson he was cal'd,
Or like a Country-man
in debts had bin inthral'd
He kept himselfe so close,
by crafty cunning charms,
Till apprehended was
by a Serjeant high at Armes.
Then hey ho Hugh Peters
your wits did you deceive
To change your Surry quarters
and come with us to liue.
Come Peters I must tell you
your crafts beguild you now,
Sad fortune have befell you,
and all your joviall crew.
The Rump hath got a sliding,
Hugh Peters got a fall,
And Haslerig is chiding,
like the Divel amongst them all.
Then hey ho Hugh Peters,
can't you quote out a Text
To learn Sir Arthur patience
that is so highly vext.
WHen to the Tower he came
as brethren us'd to do:
There met him Henry Vain,
both Scot and Mildmay to [...]:
Then he to preach a Sermon,
the Spirit did him call,
Drew forth an old Diurnal
and preach'd before them all:
Then hey ho Hugh Peters
they lik'd your Doctrine well,
Which gave them such direction
how they should go to hell.
The next that came was a Rumper,
and cal [...]d great Haselrig,
Ile warrant ye he was a thumper
to dance a Parliament jigg:
He joyed to sée his Chaplain,
and did congratulate
But never was such tatling,
concerning Church and State
As was between these creatures
I must tell to you
Sis Arthur and Hugh Peters,
the Gallows claim his due.
Luke Robinson came after
the Parson for so view,
And asked if Sir Arthur
had heard his Sermon new,
Who said that he had quoted
a noble Rumping Text,
For which he should be Uoted
at Tyburn to preach next.
Then hey ho Hugh Peters
my heart shall never rue
In such a worthy pention
Esquire Dun shall pay thy due
The Tower is strongly made
and Peters he is within
I'm sure he had a hand
in martering of our King.
Now all will be disclosed
and brought to publick view.
Al that he be opposed
then Gallows claim thy due.
With hey ho Hugh Peters
you are fast within our locks,
Therefore declare the persons
disguised in white Frocks.
These that had on long Uizards
did on the Scaffold stand
Like base presumptuous Wizards
plac'd by the Divels hand.
So expert and so even
was one 'tis thought 'twas you
The blow was fatal given
come Peters tell me true.
Examine all your fellows
prove it perfectlie
Or else on Tyburn Gallows
your neck shall hanged be.
Finis.
