THE KINGDOMES MONSTER Vncloaked from Heaven: The Popish Conspirators, Malignant Plotters, and cruell Irish, in one Body to destroy Kingdome, Religion and Lawes: But under colour to defend them, especially the Irish, who having destroyed the Protestants There, flye hither to defend the Protestant Religion Here.

PaPist Conspirators Mallignant. plotters Against against Church parlement Kingdom cittye

O England looke upon this monstrous Thing,

That would our Kingdome unto ruine bring,

'Tis framed and composed of three parts

Which are all joyned both in heads and hearts:

Doe not behold it with a carelesse eye,

This Monster brings this Land to misery:

This Monster following its forefathers hate,

Seeks to destroy the Kingdome and the State:

While Church and Kingdom should oppressed lie

Subjected to their blinded Popery:

Long time it walked muffled in a cloak

Till Straffords head was cut off, then it broke

Out of the cloud, but Heavens holy hands

Hath now uncloak'd it, so that now it stands

In a full figure as this Picture here

Doth make it lively to your view appeare,

And in fit Emblems to your sight presents

His shape, his postures, and his blacke intents▪

So that if you behold it round about

You shall see how this Monster is set out;

His Spanish Ruffe, and Jacket shew him here

To be halfe Papist, and halfe Cavalier;

His left side Popish is, which on his breast

Is by the figure of the Crosse exprest;

Besides his Beads and Popish pardon be

Emblemes that speak his love to Papistry:

So on the left side Popish heads are got

Together ready to conspire and plot

Unfathom'd mischiefe, and lest they should want

Brain to be wicked, and should so be scant

Of knowledge how they might undo this land,

Plotting malignant heads against them stand:

The winged cluster of heads do discover

That Papists Rebels from Ireland flye over:

These to make strong their party, do combine

While in one body they together joyne,

Which in this Monster of the times exprest,

And to shew that there lodges in his breast

Nothing but cruelty, while 'tis his desire

To kill the Protestants, and their houses fire:

His double hands a sword, a knife containes▪

A match, a Poleaxe, and a torch that flames;

Thus arm'd you may aske what he means to do,

Alas! his dayly actions this doe shew;

He doth intend to change the Churches coat,

That masse may be sung through a Friars throat▪

And that the Protestants true Church may grow

Catholicke, and unto the Pope may owe

Supremacie, while Popery that hath bin

Long purged out, may be brought in agen▪

In hope whereof, they oppose the Parliament,

Which Papists once to blow up did consent,

As here the match in hand doth represent,

While the blacke fiend did further their intent▪

Besides this monstrous Body here compact

Of Papists, Irish and malignants act

Most horrid cruelties where they do approach,

Set out here by the sword in hand and torch;

Firing both Towns & houses where they come,

As they of late to Brimidgham have done;

And like unthankfull wretches have no pity

Neither upon this Kingdome nor this City,

But Nero like would laugh while it did burn,

And would massacre such as would not turn

To their Religion, robbing them of life,

Described by the hand armed with a knife:

Thus under sword and fire this Kingdomes lies

Bleeding, and is this Monsters sacrifice;

While Papists, Irish, and Malignants are

Drawne all into the body of a war,

Who breath destruction, and would ruinate

Church, Kingdome, City, Parliament, and State,

Therefore this Picture here set out may be

Called the Kingdomes Map of misery.

But there's a God that will at last regard

Our sufferings, and give them their just reward▪

Let them take heed, here on the side we see't.

They and the gallows at the last shall meet.

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).
