LONDONS Warning-Leece, BEING, The Common-Prayers Complaint.

WHat shall I doe; I am cast out of doore,

In Church, nor Chappell, I must come no more:

For I am call'd plain Popery, by those,

That by the Spirit, Prayers doe compose;

Such are the men your Round-heads dote upon,

That can make prayers, of an houre long:

That sigh, and sob, with making many faces,

And these are men, preferr'd in good mens places.

Fy, fy, I am ashamed to see these dayes,

Where none but such as by th'Spirit prayes,

Regarded are; for now adayes they cry,

Down all, that will not with the times comply.

So impudent they are, the Church they call

A den of Theeves, yea and th' house of Ball:

Th'had rather preach in Barnes, in Tubs, and Stables,

For there they can repeat their lyes and fables:

But Parliament look too't, or else wee'l come

'Gainst them and you at dreadfull day of doome:

You chosen were as Fathers of the land,

Thinking for King and Kingdom you would stand,

Maintaining our Religion, as it stood

In th'best Reformers time, that e're were good.

Stablish'd I was by Orthodox Devines,

But Pim, and th'rest to contrary inclines,

They think they're wiser then our Fathers were,

And yet will coozen, lye, and cheat, and sweare:

But 'twas not so in that Queenes dayes, whose fame

To th'world is spread, Elizabeth by name:

There never was such Schisms, such sects as now,

Preaching in tubs, Green, Spencer, Hunt and How.

No, not so much as one man durst be seen

To contradict the sayings of the Queen:

Much lesse to take up Armes, for to Rebell,

And Parliament to count this doing well;

No marvell 'tis that 'gainst me they doe rise,

When as they doe our Gratious King despise:

Yea, base Mecannicks, that doe preach in tubs,

Did come to th'Court with swords, and staves, & clubs,

And did annoy CHARLES, our most gracious King,

Day after day they came (but did not bring

Petitions in their hands) for to implore,

But Brazen fac'd they came to White-hall doore;

At which affront our King seem'd discontent,

And thought not little that his Parliament

Should slight him so, as not to take a course

With base Mechanicks as did sweare, nay worse,

Yea, speak high Treason 'gainst our royall King,

Which he did hear, yet 'twas counted nothing:

His Majestie seeing himself so slighted,

Abus'd by base Mechanicks, and not righted,

White-hall he left, to Hampton Court he went,

Being fill'd with sorrow, grief and discontent,

To think that having reign'd so long in peace,

This happy Peace should now begin to cease,

And Civill Warre amongst our selves begin:

O what an age is this we now live in,

That Subjects now against their Prince must warre,

Yea, and themselves at first begin to jarre:

For they began an Army for to raise,

Five members 'twas, bee't spoken to their praise.

Pim, he began to set it first on foot,

And Stroud, and Hampden both apploy'd them toot,

An Army must be rais'd, or wee're undon,

The land with Popery will soon be o're run,

Come sayes Kimbolton, let's not make delay,

Let's raise Ten Thousand men, and send away,

Brave Essex wee will make our Generall,

And to the Souldiers wee'l be liberall,

Scarfs▪ Swords, and money then they had great store,

Great heaps of money, and of Plate, nay more

Then for the present they could well dispose,

But what's become of all that now, God knowes,

The Army being rais'd, away they bent,

To meet our Soveraigne with full intent,

To kill and slay all those that took his part,

But yet you see it was beyond their art;

For I am sure they have been often bang'd,

And in the end I think they will be hang'd.

What! take up arms against your gracious King!

This is a horrid and a Heathenish thing.

Stay, cry you mercy: CHARLES is no longer King,

King Pim it is, the Round-heads would have him:

Their Zeal is set all on a burning fire,

That none a happy Union doth desire:

See how the rage of this great factious crew,

Are bent 'gainst kingdoms three, all to undoe,

Such plunderings, and such pillaging, nay stay,

Is theeving, though Malignant carry 't away:

One robs another, for to make himselfe,

And hoards in baggs and trunks this cursed pelfe.

Well Londoners, Let no more money goe,

Be now a friend to CHARLES, and not a foe,

Foresee how he doth prosper in his way,

Scarse once in twice that you have got the day;

Brave Bristolls taken, Glocester now is shaking,

Ga [...]sbrough forsaken, Exceter is quaking:

Wee'l now submit, and joyn at last for peace,

That this unhappy Civill Warre may cease:

Then CHARLES too's Crown may be receiv'd with joy,

So wee'l triumph, and sing, Vive la roy.

§

O Yes, O yes, O yes.

If any man have found Law in a Dcclaration,

That strayed from Westminster after a strange fashion,

Since the Fifteenth of November 'twas not seen in this Nation:

Let him bring news unto Pim, he shall have thanks in a Narration.

O Yes, O yes, O yes.

If any man hath found Sir Iohn Hotham, or shall,

Who hath lost himself in the keeping of Hull,

And now strayed away, by an Order that's Null,

If the Parliament will not have him, his Majestie will.

God save the King.

O yes. O yes, O yes,

If any man hath lost any money or plate,

There was a great deale took up at Gulid-Hall of late;

Let them shew the marks on't, now it's melted, abate

Onely the keeping, and by Publick Faith ye shall ha'te.

God save the King, let's all sing.

Finis.

LONDONS SACRIFICE,

VVIll nothing serve? will nothing else suffice

For Englands Peace? No other Sacrifice?

Isaack's demanded: Isaack is deni'de,

Our Righteous Abra'ms they will not confide:

Though prompted by their own Indeavor came,

To rescue Zealous Isaack with a Ramme,

If neither Isaack nor the Ram can doe,

The Devill take both, Ram▪ and Isaack too.

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).
