THE NEVV LETANIE.

[Page]

THE NEVV LETANIE.

FRom an extemporary prayer, and a godly ditty,

From the churlish Governour of a City,

From the power of a Countrey Committee.

Libera nos Domine.

From the Turk, the Pope, and the Scottish Nation;

From being govern'd by Proclamation:

And from an old Protestant, quite out of fashion.

Libera &c.

From medling with those that are out of our reaches,

From a fighting Priest, and a S [...]uldier that preaches;

From an Ignoramus that writes, & a woman that teaches

Libera &c.

From the doctrine of deposing of a King,

From the Directory, or any such thing:

From a fine new Marriage without a ring.

Libera &c.

From a City that yeelds at the first summons,

From plundering of goods, either mans, or womans;

Or having to doe with the House of Commons.

Libera &c.

From a stumbling Horse, that tumbles ore and ore,

From ushering a Lady, or walking before:

From an English-Irish-Rebell, newly come o're.

Libera &c.

From Compounding, or hanging in a silken halter,

From oaths & covenants, & being pounded in a morter,

From Contributions, or Free-quarter.

Libera &c.

From Mouldy bread, and Mustie beere,

From a Holidayes fast, and a fridayes good cheere;

From a Brother-hood, and a she Cavileer.

Libera &c.

From Nich. Neuter, for you, and for you,

From Thomas Turn-coate that will never prove true,

From a reverend Rabbi that's worse then a Iew.

Libera &c.

From a Countrey Iustice that still lookes big,

From swallowing of the Italian fig;

Or learning of the Scottish Jigge.

Libera &c.

From being taken in a disguise,

From believing of the Printed lyes;

From the Devill, and from the Excise.

Libera &c.

From a broken Pate with a Pint pot,

For fighting for I know not what;

And from a friend as false as a Scot▪

Libera &c.

From one that speaks no sense, yet talks all that he can,

From an old woman, and a Parliament man:

From an Anabaptist, and a Presbiter Iohn.

Libera &c.

From Irish Rebells, and Welsh hubbub-men,

From Independents, and their Tubmen;

From Sheriffes, Bailiffes, and their Clubmen.

Libera &c.

From one that cares not what he sayth,

From trusting one that never pay'th:

From a private Preacher, and a Publique Faith.

Libera &c.

From a vapouring Horse, and a Roundhead in Buffe,

From roaring Iack Cavee, with money little enough:

From Beads, and such Idolatrous stuffe.

Libera &c.

From Holydaies, and all that's holy,

From May-poles, and Fidlers, and all that is Iolly:

From Latine, and Learning, since that is a folly.

Libera &c.

And now to make an end of all,

I wish the Round-heads had a fall;

Or else were hang'd in Goldsmiths-hall.

Amen. Benedicat Dominus.

FINIS.

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).
