<HEAD>The Phanaticks PLOT Di&s;covered:
BEING
A true Relation of their &s;trange Proceedings in Gloce&s;ter-&s;hire and other Counties; And what hath &s;ince hapned upon the
appearing of the two great Bodies of <HI>Frogs</HI> and <HI>Toads,</HI> (as they pretended) in &s;undry &s;hapes and dreadful Colours; to the great wonder of all
Loyal Subjects, that &s;hall &s;eriou&s;ly peru&s;e the&s;e following Lines. </HEAD>

<L>KInd Friends I am re&s;olved to di&s;cover a <HI>thing,</HI></L>
<L>Which of late was invented by Foes to our <HI>King;</HI></L>
<L>A Phanatical Pamphlet was printed of late,</L>
<L>To fill hone&s;t hearted Affections with Hate:</L>
<L>But here lies the thing. God hath &s;ent Us a King,</L>
<L>That hath Wi&s;dom enough to extingui&s;h their Sting;</L>
<L>And therefore I wi&s;h all Allegeance be given,</L>
<L>To Him that directly was &s;ent Us from Heaven.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Phanaticks do tell Us in <HI>Glouce&s;ter&s;hire,</HI></L>
<L>A parcel of Chri&s;tians as they call them there,</L>
<L>Did meet for to wor&s;hip their unknown <HI>Apollo;</HI></L>
<L>But mark! for their ba&s;ene&s;s, hereafter doth follow:</L>
<L>I have taken the pain, without any gain,</L>
<L>The truth of this matter to you to explain:</L>
<L>And therefore believe not this flattering thing,</L>
<L>But &s;tick clo&s;e to your duty you owe to your King.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Here now comes the matter which I am to declare,</L>
<L>The <HI>Anabapti&s;ts</HI> in <HI>Glouce&s;ter&s;hire,</HI></L>
<L>Where Brother and Si&s;ter being privately met,</L>
<L>They &s;ay a rude multitude did them be&s;et:</L>
<L>But Villains beware, and of this have a care,</L>
<L>Le&s;t you with true Subjects &s;hould have no &s;hare:</L>
<L>For the King is re&s;olved their Rights to re&s;tore,</L>
<L>And therefore Phanaticks plot Trea&s;on no more.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>After this Multitude had them be&s;et,</L>
<L>They went to a Ju&s;tice his Warrant to get,</L>
<L>De&s;iring his aid and a&s;&s;i&s;tance therein,</L>
<L>But he being hone&s;t di&s;owned their &s;in:</L>
<L>He bid them depart, if they had their de&s;ert,</L>
<L>They de&s;erv'd to be whipt at the ar&s;e of a Cart:</L>
<L>But yet through their policie they do Us tell,</L>
<L>That the Judgment of God on that Ju&s;tice befel.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And for to bring this purpo&s;e about,</L>
<L>One of their own Congregation went out</L>
<L>Into the fields, where by chance he did &s;ee</L>
<L>Of Frogs and of Toads a great company:</L>
<L>But this they do &s;ay, that in battle array,</L>
<L>To the Ju&s;tice his hou&s;e they &s;traight took their way:</L>
<L>O do not believe them! my Friends have a care,</L>
<L>For this is an <HI>Anabapti&s;tical</HI> Snare.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Yet I'le not deny but that there was &s;tore</L>
<L>Of Frogs and of Toads at the Ju&s;tice his dore,</L>
<L>Which was <HI>Anabapti&s;ts, Browni&s;ts,</HI> and tho&s;e,</L>
<L>Which ever were known to be the Kings Foes:</L>
<L>But thanks be to God they are under the Rod,</L>
<L>That never intended to do any good:</L>
<L>O do not believe them, my friends, lea&s;t that they</L>
<L>Should delude you into their mo&s;t damnable way.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Be&s;ides, they do tell Us the Ju&s;tice his Maid</L>
<L>Were the cau&s;e that the&s;e Frogs and the&s;e Toads were con|veyd,</L>
<L>Which before at the Ju&s;tice his windows had been,</L>
<L>Was after di&s;pier&s;t, and never more &s;een:</L>
<L>But let them have a care, it will fall to their &s;hare,</L>
<L>That &s;uch Frogs and &s;uch damnable Toads as they are,</L>
<L>E're long will be bani&s;ht, and never more &s;een,</L>
<L>Which too long in this Chri&s;tian Nation have been.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I wonder, me thinks, how they can be &s;o bold,</L>
<L>To continue their impudent Actions of old:</L>
<L>It hath been their practice &s;ince <HI>Oliver's</HI> days,</L>
<L>To plot and foment how di&s;&s;ention to rai&s;e;</L>
<L>Not calling to mind, how gracious and kind,</L>
<L>Our Soveraign Lord King <HI>Charles</HI> they do find:</L>
<L>And as for their Pamphlet I wi&s;h you beware</L>
<L>How you do believe, and of them have a care.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>O I wi&s;h you con&s;ider their Actions of late,</L>
<L>How they turn'd a brave Kingdom into a ba&s;e State,</L>
<L>Throwing the Pillars quite out of the Socket,</L>
<L>And &s;triving to get the coin into their pocket:</L>
<L>No man I'le name, then do not me blame,</L>
<L>But, Gentlemen, this I do &s;peak to their &s;hame,</L>
<L>That all their <HI>Intentions</HI> was onely this <HI>Thing,</HI></L>
<L>To hedge in the Kingdom, and murder the King.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Come, come <HI>Independent,</HI> and ca&s;t off thy hate,</L>
<L>Con&s;ider the workings of God here of late,</L>
<L>How miraculou&s;ly he hath brought it about</L>
<L>To bring in the King, whom you thought to keep out:</L>
<L>The <HI>Presbyter</HI> and the <HI>Epi&s;copal</HI> man</L>
<L>May &s;afely rejoyce now, becau&s;e that they can</L>
<L>Freely enjoy what is duly their own,</L>
<L>That's to have their E&s;tates, and the King have his Crown.</L>
