<HEAD>The WEASEL Uncas'd, or the In and Out&s;ide of a PRIEST drawn to the Life.</HEAD>
<LG>
<L>A Prote&s;tant Prie&s;t, a Man of great Fame,</L>
<L>To be Rich and Great was his only Aim,</L>
<L>It was Dr. <HI>Wea&s;el,</HI> the very &s;ame,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which no body can deny.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This <HI>Wea&s;el</HI> at fir&s;t to get him &s;ome Grub,</L>
<L>A little &s;mall Girl, and a little good Bub,</L>
<L><HI>Diogenes</HI> like, he Preached in a Tub,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Yet in tho&s;e Days he was very Fickle,</L>
<L>And though he was Head of a great Conventicle,</L>
<L>Yet he had a Months mind to be higher a little,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And finding Ambition to grow with his Pride,</L>
<L>And if he'd be great he mu&s;t change his Side,</L>
<L>He left all his Flock, and his fir&s;t Faith deny'd,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>By which they perceiv'd his Heart was grown Evil,</L>
<L>They put forth a Book, which he thought uncivil,</L>
<L>The Title was, <HI>Wea&s;el's Di&s;pute with the Devil,</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In which Learned Piece they there did di&s;cover,</L>
<L>That, like unto <HI>Judas,</HI> he was a fal&s;e Brother,</L>
<L>And of a full Bag he is a great Lover,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>To which bloody Charge he an&s;werd in Sea&s;on,</L>
<L>And why he left them, told 'em his Rea&s;on,</L>
<L>And prov'd all their Tenets border'd on Trea&s;on,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And then, like a Hero, he did lay about,</L>
<L>And &s;wore he would Preach all their Tub-bottoms out,</L>
<L>And prove them to be a Phanatical Rout,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And truly he was as good as his Word,</L>
<L>And writ a fine Book, though by them abhorr'd,</L>
<L><HI>The Ca&s;e of Re&s;i&s;tance,</HI> which &s;tands on Record,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In that Loyal Piece, again&s;t the Preci&s;e,</L>
<L>He prov'd by all the Grave, Learned and Wife,</L>
<L>Obedience is better than all Sacrifice,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And then he proceeded by Scripture and Rea&s;on,</L>
<L>To prove Non-Re&s;i&s;tance always in Sea&s;on,</L>
<L>And its oppo&s;ite Doctrine no le&s;s than Trea&s;on,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And having ob&s;erv'd the Laws o'th' Nation,</L>
<L>With tho&s;e of the Go&s;pel, had a Relation,</L>
<L>Said, tho&s;e that Refi&s;t would receive ju&s;t Damnation,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>To &s;trengthen this Point he quoted St. <HI>Paul,</HI></L>
<L>St. <HI>Peter,</HI> St. <HI>Jude,</HI> our Saviour and all,</L>
<L>Proving none cou'd be Sav'd who from that Faith, did fall,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But what will you &s;ay of this <HI>Wea&s;el</HI> &s;tout,</L>
<L>If after all this he &s;hou'd face about,</L>
<L>And in print tell the World in truth he was out,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Yet Rea&s;on and Con&s;cience a War did begin,</L>
<L>And &s;truggled with Pride and Ambition within,</L>
<L>To take the new Oaths he long thought a Sin,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>His Spou&s;e, like <HI>Job</HI>'s Wife, to ea&s;e his Heat-aching.</L>
<L>Did pre&s;s him to &s;wear that he was mi&s;taken,</L>
<L>Though &s;ome think it was for to &s;ave his Bacon,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>At fir&s;t he did doubt, and therefore did pray,</L>
<L>That Heaven wou'd in&s;truct him in the Right way;</L>
<L>Whether <HI>Jimmy</HI> or <HI>William</HI> he ought to obey,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Pa&s;s at the <HI>Boyne</HI> determin'd that Ca&s;e,</L>
<L>And Precept to Providence then did give place,</L>
<L>To change his Opinion he thought no di&s;grace,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For though he had done the &s;ame Thing before,</L>
<L>Yet now for his Comfort he need Change no more,</L>
<L>For his <HI>Ca&s;e of Allegiance</HI> will &s;erve for a &s;core,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For there he has plainly made it appear,</L>
<L>That Strength gives a Right, therefore we may &s;wear</L>
<L>To him in Po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion, though not the Right Heir,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And &s;hou'd a Fray happen 'twixt Father and Son,</L>
<L>If the Boy beat his Father, and &s;o make him Run,</L>
<L>Providence had appointed that Thing to be done,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Be&s;ides, he has prov'd the mighty Conveniance</L>
<L>Of Subjects transferring their Faith and Allegiance,</L>
<L>To tho&s;e that can cru&s;h 'em all into Obedience,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>So let <HI>O. P.</HI> or <HI>P. O.</HI> be King,</L>
<L>Or any one el&s;e, it is the &s;ame Thing,</L>
<L>For only Heaven does that Ble&s;&s;ing bring,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But this with the Scripture can never agree,</L>
<L>As <HI>Ho&s;ea</HI> the Eighth, and the Fourth you may &s;ee,</L>
<L><HI>They have &s;et up Kings, but</HI> yet <HI>not by me,</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now what need the Prophet there to complain,</L>
<L>If the Peoples Anointed, and God's were the &s;ame?</L>
<L>If &s;o, <HI>David</HI>'s Friends they all were to blame,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For though God permitted the People to bring</L>
<L>Good <HI>David</HI>'s Son forth, and proclaim him King,</L>
<L>Yet all the World knows how he puni&s;h'd the Thing,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And may all &s;uch Sons enjoy the &s;ame Fate,</L>
<L>That dethrone their Father, and him Abdicate,</L>
<L>No doubt it will happen in time, &s;oon or late,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>With one Remarck more I'le end this dull Song,</L>
<L>And his ful&s;om Republican Arguments &s;trong,</L>
<L>Which makes <HI>Wrong</HI> to be <HI>Right,</HI> and <HI>Right</HI> to be <HI>Wrong,</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>That Famous old Prie&s;t, the Vicar of <HI>Bray,</HI></L>
<L>Who in all Change of Times knew how to obey,</L>
<L>Was an A&s;s to the <HI>Wea&s;el,</HI> if I may &s;o &s;ay,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And truly I think no more need be &s;aid,</L>
<L>By a Penny we know how a Shilling's made,</L>
<L>For Prie&s;t and Prie&s;t-cra&s;t is all but a Trade,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And thus I in little have drawn to the Life,</L>
<L>His Fle&s;h and his Spirit alway at Stri&s;e,</L>
<L>But the Fle&s;h did prevail by the help of his Wife,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Which no body can deny, deny,</HI></L>
<L><HI>which no body can deny.</HI></L>
