Popery Routed: OR, Father Petres's Farewel to LONDON City.

To the Tune of, Hark how the Thundring Cannons Roar.

I.

SEE how the Romish Whore goes down,

Posting whole-sale out of Town,

'Cause her Fate does shrewdly Frown,

And Cross her Inclination.

Father Petres, and his Crew

Of Jesuits, Monks, and Friars too,

Must now Pack up, and bid adeiu

To London's Corporation.

II.

Pox on all their Perjur'd Oaths,

Which a Zealous Church-man loaths,

Are they not Wolves in Sheep's cloths,

That Lurk in e'ry Station,

To Trepan the Innocent,

And hatch a Hellish Discontent?

Let us then with one Consent,

Dismiss them from our Nation.

III.

When I saw them first grow bold,

I thought the Proverb true of old,

That they ran too fast to hold

Their damn'd Insinuation.

Now their Prime Dispensing Pow'r

Lies a-bleeding in the Tow'r,

Cursing of the Fatal Hour

Of His first Procreation.

IV.

Now that Wizard knows full well,

Himself to be a Bird of Hell,

Inhumanely thus to Rebel

Against his Habitation.

But e'er this Hypocrite shall pass,

We'll bring his Crimes for Looking-Glass,

To see himself the meerest Ass

Of all the World's Creation

V.

Welcome was Brave Orange here,

As it plainly doth appear,

Who Deliver'd us from Fear

Of Popish Usurpation.

Who when we were in great Surprise,

Preserv'd us from our Enemies,

And all the damn'd Conspiracies

Of Rome's Assassination.

VI.

Was there such a Trick e'er seen

As hath Lately acted been,

By their Fathers, and the Q—n,

To gull our English Nation?

But their Jugling up that Brat,

From we know not who nor what,

Will be prov'd; nay, worse than that

Of Transubstantiation.

VII.

Mounsieur now had best take heed,

For his Expeditious speed,

In Helping us, e'er we had Need

Of his Dissimulation;

Least in Requital of his Care,

We send his Knives, and some to spare,

And bring Le Bougra in for share

Of's Cursed Assignation.

VIII.

Well, I'll say no more; but see

(True Protestants where e'er you be)

You come not near such Villainy,

Nor grand Equivocation,

E'er Long I hope our Parliament,

Will rid that superstitious Scent

From us; that we may rest Content,

Each in his proper Station.

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).
