THE PLOTTING LEVITE

THE PLOTTING LEVITE

[Page]

To the Tune of Lille Bullero, &c.

I.

WITH a handful of Sorrow and Grief I am drawn

To tell you the truth of the Parſons at Land,

And a new ſwearing Brood not in Buff but in Lawn,

The humble Devotants to Lewis le Grand,

Conſcience, Conſcience, nothing but Conſcience,

Nothing but Conſcience made them forbear,

Nothing but Conſcience, nothing but Conſcience,

Nothing but Conſcience made them forſwear.

II.

A Council of Six, all pions and good,

Jure Divino every one,

For Popery, Plotting, Sedition and Blood;

And praying devoutly, as right as a Gun;

Conſcience, Conſcience, nothing but Conſcience,

Nothing but Conſcience made them to plot,

Nothing but Conſcience, nothing but Conſcience,

Honour and Loyalty they had forgot.

III.

Like the Prophets of old, ſo they do annoint,

Their ſanctified Fingers are laid to the Work,

With Jure Divino in every Joynt,

'Tis all one to them, be he Chriſtian or Turk;

Reaſon, Reaſon, nothing but Reaſon,

Nothing but Reaſon they would be at,

Nothing but Reaſon, nothing but Reaſon,

Non-ſwearing Parſons would bubble the State.

IV.

To bring in the French, whom now they adore,

Moſt piouſly they combin'd in a Plot,

To murther the King that ſav'd them before,

A Villany ſure that will ne're be forgot;

Treaſon, Treaſon, nothing but Treaſon,

Nothing but Treaſon up to the Ears,

Nothing but Treaſon, nothing but Treaſon,

Paſſive Obedience in Colours appears.

V.

'Twas done by a Church that never did fail

To perſecute all that her Power could reach,

That hath kickt up her Heels and diſcover'd her Tail,

And civilly now ſhe hath ſhewn you her Breech;

Rigby, Rigby, Aſhton and Rigby,

Aſhton and Rigby, there it was done,

Aſhton and Rigby, Aſhton and Rigby,

The Father deſerves it as well as the Son.

VI.

A few years ago, it can't be forgot,

Be certain I'll tell you no more than is true,

'Twas a damnable Sin to be found in a Plot,

As then was obſerv'd by ſome of their Crew;

Ely, Ely, Reverend Ely,

Reverend Ely left us i'th' lurch,

Reverd Ely and his grave Elders

Want French Dragoons to ſettle the Church.

VII.

Our Grave Elder Brother, the worſt of the Four,

Lies cloſe in his Den, like a Boar in the Sty,

The Blood of all Ireland lies at his Door,

And from the Almighty for Judgment doth cry;

Ely, Ely, William and Ely,

William and Ely, Frank and Tom,

William and Ely, William and Ely,

William and Ely, Francis and John.

VIII.

The Cut-throat Petitioners acted their Part,

And gravely kept time with the Plot and the Crew,

They wanted a Mayor with a Jacobite Heart,

To murther the King when they found it would do;

Dodſon, Dodſon, Dingo and Dodſon,

Dingo and Dodſon, Coward and Fool,

Dingo and Dodſon, Dingo and Dodſon,

To bring up the Rear, will ſerve for a Tool.

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).
