ENGLANDS DIRECTIONS FOR MEMBERS ELECTIONS

DEar Country men, you that resolve to do good

to your Country, and stop the vast Ocean of Blood,

That of late hath been shed,

Through the losse of our Head,

By that Pocky perfidious Bum.

Now, now is the time when you make your new choices,

Of Parliament men: have a care of your voices,

Make none had their hands,

In Church Livings or Lands.

Lay by Omne quod exit in um.

Set a black mark upon whimsical Vane,

And dunstical Disborow now in his wane,

Chuse neither Sir Arthur,

Rumper nor Farter.

No Friend o'th' sh—ars'd Bum.

Post up the names of down-fallen Dick,

And Lambert that serv'd the Rump that bold trick,

Let Luke go to Pot,

And his brother Tom Scot.

Kick out Omne quod exit in um.

If brasen-fac'd Bradshaw breath on this side of Hell,

('Tis wonder since Lucifer long ago fell)

Hisse him out of this Isle

With his Comrade Iack Lisle,

And every bit of the Bum.

Forget not the merits of Hewson the high born;

But send him with Lilburn and Tichburn to Tiburn.

Give impudent Goffe

An handsome turn off,

With Omne quod exit in um.

Let Ingoldsby, Clement, and Okey have right,

That is a good halter: Lord Whitlock good night

To your Lordship, your sun

Its full course hath run,

And hath left you as well as the Bum.

Chuse not Charl's Fleetwit, yet pity his case,

For you know how the Lord did spit in his face;

But if Edwards or VVhite

Stand, bid them goesh—

With Omne quod exit in um.

If rotten Harry Martin your voices require.

Bid him go stand in Smockingham shire,

Or Middlesex County,

They out of their bounty

May dub him the Knight of thier Bum.

But if Carew, or Corbet, or Ludlow endeavour,

Roe, or Ewer, deny those Traitours all favour,

As worthy no lesse

Than eternall distresse

With Omne quod exit in um.

VValler andHarrison, VVhaly, VVill. Say,

Danvers andStapley, Maleverer andGrey.

If they dare shew their face,

Hisse'um out with difgrace,

VVith all that stink of the Bum.

Chaloner, Downs, VVayt, Purefoy andVen,

Moor, Barkstead and Blackstone those Monsters of men

To Hell make'um ride

After Colonell Pride,

WithOmne quod exit in um.

If Alured seeks your favour to gain,

Iones or Millington tell 'um they labour in vain,

Cause as swine do on Pearles

They trampled on Charles,

VVith the rest of their fellows the Bum.

If Norton, or Horton, or Harvy shall dare,

If Dandy, or Cook, or Ash shall appear,

Pray pack 'um to Nell

To tell 'um the fall

Of Omne quod ezit in um.

If that you be counted by Peregrine Pelham,

Hurchinson, Cawly, OrConstable, tell 'um,

They all had theit hands

In the Kings life or lands,

And there fore you'l tickle their Bum.

If VValton approach your Elections, or Love,

They were of the Giants that fought against Iove,

And therefore tell them and Potter,

You hope they'l all totter.

With Omne quod exit in um.

Iack Bourchier, Hammond and Garland those arrant

Traitours all signed that fatal warrant,

And with them Mr. Meyn,

That Rebel in grain.

Advancers all of the Bum.

Michael Livesy and Dixwel next come in our way,

Whose Merits do cry aloud for their pay,

Pray give them and Scroop,

A good hempen Rope,

With Omne quod exit in um.

Smith, Henningham, Alderman Isack and Dean,

All Acted a part in that Tragical scene,

So VVogan and Rowt.

Let 'nm all face about.

Grand Patrons all of the Bum.

Adde the Temples, strange they should be foes to the Church

With Blagrave and Mildemay, leave'um all i'th' lurch,

Or rather send 'um to trudge,

To the Reprobates Iudge.

With Omne quod exit in um.

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).
