<L>O England looke upon this mon&s;trous Thing,</L>
<L>That would our Kingdome unto ruine bring,</L>
<L>'Tis framed and compo&s;ed of three parts</L>
<L>Which are all joyned both in heads and hearts:</L>
<L>Doe not behold it with a carele&s;&s;e eye,</L>
<L>This Mon&s;ter brings this Land to mi&s;ery:</L>
<L>This Mon&s;ter following its forefathers hate,</L>
<L>Seeks to de&s;troy the Kingdome and the State:</L>
<L>While Church and Kingdom &s;hould oppre&s;&s;ed lie</L>
<L>Subjected to their blinded Popery:</L>
<L>Long time it walked muffled in a cloak</L>
<L>Till <HI>Straffords</HI> head was cut off, then it broke</L>
<L>Out of the cloud, but Heavens holy hands</L>
<L>Hath now uncloak'd it, &s;o that now it &s;tands</L>
<L>In a full figure as this Picture here</L>
<L>Doth make it lively to your view appeare,</L>
<L>And in fit Emblems to your &s;ight pre&s;ents</L>
<L>His &s;hape, his po&s;tures, and his blacke intents&punc;</L>
<L>So that if you behold it round about</L>
<L>You &s;hall &s;ee how this Mon&s;ter is &s;et out;</L>
<L>His Spani&s;h Ruffe, and Jacket &s;hew him here</L>
<L>To be halfe Papi&s;t, and halfe Cavalier;</L>
<L>His left &s;ide Popi&s;h is, which on his brea&s;t</L>
<L>Is by the figure of the Cro&s;&s;e expre&s;t;</L>
<L>Be&s;ides his Beads and Popi&s;h pardon be</L>
<L>Emblemes that &s;peak his love to Papi&s;try:</L>
<L>So on the left &s;ide Popi&s;h heads are got</L>
<L>Together ready to con&s;pire and plot</L>
<L>Unfathom'd mi&s;chiefe, and le&s;t they &s;hould want</L>
<L>Brain to be wicked, and &s;hould &s;o be &s;cant</L>
<L>Of knowledge how they might undo this land,</L>
<L>Plotting malignant heads again&s;t them &s;tand:</L>
<L>The winged clu&s;ter of heads do di&s;cover</L>
<L>That Papi&s;ts Rebels from Ireland flye over:</L>
<L>The&s;e to make &s;trong their party, do combine</L>
<L>While in one body they together joyne,</L>
<L>Which in this Mon&s;ter of the times expre&s;t,</L>
<L>And to &s;hew that there lodges in his brea&s;t</L>
<L>Nothing but cruelty, while 'tis his de&s;ire</L>
<L>To kill the Prote&s;tants, and their hou&s;es fire:</L>
<L>His double hands a &s;word, a knife containes&punc;</L>
<L>A match, a Poleaxe, and a torch that flames;</L>
<L>Thus arm'd you may aske what he means to do,</L>
<L>Alas! his dayly actions this doe &s;hew;</L>
<L>He doth intend to change the Churches coat,</L>
<L>That ma&s;&s;e may be &s;ung through a Friars throat&punc;</L>
<L>And that the Prote&s;tants true Church may grow</L>
<L>Catholicke, and unto the Pope may owe</L>
<L>Supremacie, while Popery that hath bin</L>
<L>Long purged out, may be brought in agen&punc;</L>
<L>In hope whereof, they oppo&s;e the Parliament,</L>
<L>Which Papi&s;ts once to blow up did con&s;ent,</L>
<L>As here the match in hand doth repre&s;ent,</L>
<L>While the blacke fiend did further their intent&punc;</L>
<L>Be&s;ides this mon&s;trous Body here compact</L>
<L>Of Papi&s;ts, Iri&s;h and malignants act</L>
<L>Mo&s;t horrid cruelties where they do approach,</L>
<L>Set out here by the &s;word in hand and torch;</L>
<L>Firing both Towns &amp; hou&s;es where they come,</L>
<L>As they of late to Brimidgham have done;</L>
<L>And like unthankfull wretches have no pity</L>
<L>Neither upon this Kingdome nor this City,</L>
<L>But <HI>Nero</HI> like would laugh while it did burn,</L>
<L>And would ma&s;&s;acre &s;uch as would not turn</L>
<L>To their Religion, robbing them of life,</L>
<L>De&s;cribed by the hand armed with a knife:</L>
<L>Thus under &s;word and fire this Kingdomes lies</L>
<L>Bleeding, and is this Mon&s;ters &s;acrifice;</L>
<L>While Papi&s;ts, Iri&s;h, and Malignants are</L>
<L>Drawne all into the body of a war,</L>
<L>Who breath de&s;truction, and would ruinate</L>
<L>Church, Kingdome, City, Parliament, and State,</L>
<L>Therefore this Picture here &s;et out may be</L>
<L>Called the Kingdomes Map of mi&s;ery.</L>
<L>But there's a God that will at la&s;t regard</L>
<L>Our &s;ufferings, and give them their ju&s;t reward&punc;</L>
<L>Let them take heed, here on the &s;ide we &s;ee't.</L>
<L>They and the gallows at the la&s;t &s;hall meet.</L>
