[Page]

[...]HY Pen ſo paints thy ſelf, that juſtly we

View Burnet burning in Effigie;

[...]oſe Paſtoral Letter into Fire was doom'd,

[...] Spiritual Witch-craft, as by moſt preſum'd:

[...] doubtleſs 'tis, in ſence of Hell, ſome merit,

[...]be of Pluto's Hierarchy in Spirit.

[...] o haſt made Evil ſo refin'dly vile,

[...] in thy Mother-tongue and Engliſh Stile,

[...]ou for greedy Scotland didſt deviſe

[...]there Presbytery ſhould leanly riſe,

[...] the Mitres had been melted down,

[...]reaſe the income of thy William's Crown:

[...] for thy profit couldſt that Text forego,

[...] thou do'ſt Sarum's Mag-pye Prelate ſhow.

[...] Sleeves of Lawn, the Badge of ſuch a Wretch,

[...] yield, in time, a Relick for Jack-ketch.

[...] 'twill be hard for thee, as many think,

[...]' ſcape in Body, ſince thy Soul in lnk

[...]s been his Handſel, and moſt Men agree

[...]at thy black inſide in thy Lines they ſee.

[...]ough impious Roman power had ſo prevail'd,

[...]t Tully's hand was to the Roſtrum nail'd;

[...]hich held the admir'd Pen that gave to Fame

[...]e Flow'r of Eloquence living in his Name.

Thou, by a different fate, wouldſt Eyes delight,

If fix'd thy Wicked Hand, which did indite

Sermons and Pamphets, to thy Sarum Chair,

That future Biſhops might abhor thee there.

Had now Pythagoras liv'd, he would have ſaid,

Hugh Peter's Soul had Tranſmigration made

Into thy Bulk, and not more damn'd could be,

Than as, In Spirit, he ſurvives in thee.

From a Fanatick Scot, transform'd of late

To an immoral Pagan of our State;

Thou do'ſt as Antichriſtianly poſſeſs

Thy See, as Tillotſon does his, ſome gueſs.

But thanks to Heaven, the Houſe's prudent Vote

Does thee a Canting Prelate ſo denote,

That in thy condemmed Paſtoral Letter's fate,

Thee and thy miſchiefs all muſt Abdicate.

Whilſt like ſome Witch, when loſt her former ſpell,

Thou griev'ſt for want of Magick to do ill:

And though in Soul of everlaſting Evil,

Thou'lt now, do what thou canſt, live leſs a Devil.

FINIS.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).
