A HUE and CRY AFTER A JACOBITE, OR LOUISIAN: And a True Character to Know and Distinguish HIM.

Licensed August the 5th.

A JACOBITE or Louisian, is a cer­tain Animal of the Doubtful Gender, with an English Face, a French Heart, a Jesuits Conscience, and an Irish Va­lour, a Creature with a Brazen-Fore­head, a Thick Skull, Hair Brains, Bogtrotting Feet, Supple Hams, and Blood-thirsty Arms. He prusues the last Syllable of his Name, to Bite and Stab a Chri­stian to the Heart, and afterwards Begs his Pardon, that he was mistaken, assuring that no more Blood, (till he has another Opportunity,) shall be shed upon his ac­count [Page 2] he Displays a Red Banner, with the device, or Motto, of Ninny Mac Nero, Jemy Transub, to shew that he maintains the cause of the Scarlet Whore, but is grown of late so wonderful Bashful at the ap­proach of an Enemy, that he avoids and shuns his Company as Beggers do a Whipping-post, yet he boasts that he is of the Race of Noddites, and retains the Principles of Cain the Murderer, and bears the Arms of Issachar, being an Ass Couchant, and seems descended from Esau. being so ready to Truck away an Invaluable Birth right of Liberty, and Property, for a French Kickshaw and a Nauseous Mess of Irish Pot­tage; he stiles himself an English man, yet acts in all things as Antipodes to his Native Countrey, and pre­tends high, and Swears, God dam him, he is of the Church of England; but as he understands not her Doctrine, so he dishonors her by his Lewd Conversa­tion, and is look'd upon by his Parishoners as a Thief, who secretly steals himself therein, to give opportunity to let his Complotters in to Rob the house. He is a Grab Protestant that Crawls Backwards towards Ire­land, or at Best, the Cars Foot, which the Romish Monkeys makes use of to pull their sinking Cause out of the Fire.

This Creature is a Protestant in Masquerade, a Je­suits Advocate, a Popish Sollicitor, a King James's Votary; and tho' they Load him like Asses with Bur­thens, has not the wit to foresee they only put upon him to do their Drudgery, and must expect Polyphe­mus's [Page 3] Courtesie, To be devoured the Last; to talk So­berly with him of Religion, he flaps you over the Mouth with Fanaticism, and Faction, and Confutes you with the Appellation of Confounded Whigg, and tho' he was one of the first that assisted in Endeavour­ing our Bless'd Reformation, pursuing those Wild Boars that would have rooted up the Constitution, and break the Ballance of our happy Government, yet for want of the gratification his Ambitiom aim'd at, turns a Grumbletonian Rebel to King William, Sowing the Tares of Sedition, but will reap Hemp in Exchange, and the Hangman will have the Cutting of many of them of the Simples: His discourse is all Sham, Noise, and Nonsence, whose Wit and Courage bears equal force with that of his Cause. His Breeches are empty of Cash, to cheat the Pick-pockets withall. Where­by you may know him by the Chalk on Peoples doors, and that he is certain in nothing, but breaking of his word.

In fine a True Jacobite, is Transubstantiated in­to a State Catterpiller, which devours every green thing in a flourishing Kingdom, being far more per­nitious and destructive to this British Isle, then the Locusts and Caterpillers were to Egypt; for they Stab Liberty and Property to the very Heart, that themselves, like Beasts of Prey, may wholly live upon Spoile and Rapine, fit Subjects only for Nebu­chadnezzar, to herd with the wild Asses in the Desert, to tell a First Rate Jacobite, of the Glorious Progress of King William's Arms, against the Enemie in Ireland, [Page 4] he Replies, what's that to the Success of the Fleet, and the designs of that Invincible Monarch the Grand Lewis, who with his Missionary Draggoons is on the Coast, to settle both the Protestant Religion, and King James in the Throne: to Ask him, who shall adventure to put the Chain about the Lyons Neck when he comes amongst us? he'll Answer, we ought to trust Providence, and Consider of that afterwards, Preaching up the Doctrine of Jure Divino-ship, Non-Resistance, and Passive Obedience, and has the Va­nity to Cajole us, That the French King will Religious­ly preserve both our Liberties and our Laws, using the Protestants with the like tenderness as his own Sub­jects, meaning the Hugonots; But he is grown of late so squeemish that a Lawful Oath strangely disturbs his Maw, but on a sudden the Muligrubs have Violently possessed him, and is taken with a fit of Singing Lacry­mae to his Cause; the Truth is, to miscarry thus in Pro­jects, would make a Priest out-swear a loosing Gam­ster. But Chears and Bouys himself up, with the Glimmering prospect of a French descent, tho' 'tis not in the least doubted, the Destruction they design for this Nation, will Revert upon their own Heads, and then their Boasted Loyalty will extend no farther, then a few Drunken Healths, turning Rebel to the Idol they set up, for let him Roar and Swagger what he can, he'll continue no farther Faithful, than as his Prince drops his Pence, for its not the Cause, like that of Old Hodg. but the Crust he barks for.
