<HEAD>To His HIGHNESS the Prince of Orange. The Humble ADDRESS and SUPPLICATION of the CAMERONIAN PRESBYTERIANS IN SCOTLAND</HEAD>
<LG TYPE="verse paragraph">
<L>In fir&s;t place, SIR, we humbly crave,</L>
<L>That You, this poor Adre&s;s receive;</L>
<L>DO not di&s;dain it, tho its Fa&s;hion</L>
<L>Be not like others of the Nation:</L>
<L>Who are more u&s;ed we do confe&s;s,</L>
<L>In every Change to make Addre&s;s</L>
<L>Sometimes for this, &s;ometims for that,</L>
<L>And oft them&s;elves knew not for what.</L>
<L>Next with our Thanks as we can give it.</L>
<L>From hone&s;t Hearts, You may believe it.</L>
<L>Its known &s;o to the whole Nation,</L>
<L>That we u&s;e no diffimulation,</L>
<L>But tell our mind like hone&s;t Fe'lows,</L>
<L>For which our Brethren got the Gallows.</L>
<L>Now let Your Wi&s;dom, SIR, Inherent,</L>
<L>Lead You forth as GODS Vicegerent;</L>
<L>That You revive the good old Cau&s;e,</L>
<L>Re-e&s;tabli&s;h Fundamental Laws</L>
<L>And Covenants that better farr,</L>
<L>Then Te&s;t that doth with it &s;elf jarr</L>
<L>Who&s;e Tenor if You keep and &s;cope,</L>
<L>Then SIR you need not fear the Pope.</L>
<L>Put down the <HI>Prelates,</HI> and all tho&s;e</L>
<L>That gave your Neck, &s;o to your Foes;</L>
<L>And makes Heavens Darling when they plea&s;e,</L>
<L>It You their Learn'd Addre&s;s revi&s;e:</L>
<L>Whole Pride and Avarice is &s;uch,</L>
<L>As is not kend among the <HI>Dutch,</HI></L>
<L>They're not &s;uch Bi&s;hop as the Apo&s;tles,</L>
<L>Doth De&s;cribe in their Epi&s;tles,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="verse paragraph">
<L>Fir&s;t they are not apt to Teach,</L>
<L>Since once a Year they do but Preach,</L>
<L>And &s;eldom that unle&s;s it fares,</L>
<L>They Preach at Great Mens Funerals.</L>
<L>Where with great Freedom they will lye,</L>
<L>In the Ble&s;t Chair of Verity.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="verse paragraph">
<L>Not given to Wine the Apo&s;tles &s;ayes,</L>
<L><HI>Hamiltons</HI> practice this denyes.</L>
<L>Who has been &s;o much given to Wine,</L>
<L>He's more good Fellow then Divine.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="verse paragraph">
<L>Thirdly die Husband of one Wife,</L>
<L>Let <HI>Band &s;tring John</HI> &s;ay on his Life;</L>
<L>And Con&s;cience he is &s;uch an one,</L>
<L>We will him &s;end to <HI>Collington.</HI></L>
<L>Of filthie Lucre they're not free</L>
<L>Their Benefices doth te&s;tifie</L>
<L>And farther that doth us inrage,</L>
<L>They Lord over GODS Heritage.</L>
<L>Which is a great Sin in our &s;ight,</L>
<L>If we do read the Bible right,</L>
<L>If &s;uch be unreproveable</L>
<L>We to Your Self SIR, do appeal.</L>
<L>That they want Bi&s;hops Qualities,</L>
<L>It is made out Your Highne&s;s &s;ees.</L>
<L>We Love not much SIR, to Reflect,</L>
<L>But we mu&s;t Villany Delect.</L>
<L>When we do &s;ee it in a Lown,</L>
<L>Tho it be covered with a Gown.</L>
<L>Therefore again we do Obte&s;t.</L>
<L>You purge the Land of them and Te&s;t.</L>
<L>For it is known they are not free</L>
<L>Of Blood-&s;hed and of Perjurie.</L>
<L>And &s;ince that cryes again&s;t this Land,</L>
<L>Which made you take your Life in hand.</L>
<L>And bravely gain the point at length,</L>
<L>At which we aim'd but wanted Strength.</L>
<L>To cru&s;h the head of Tyranny,</L>
<L>And Ab&s;olute Supremacy.</L>
<L>Therefore this &s;peech we do direct</L>
<L>Humbly intreating your Protect.</L>
<L>Its from Dragoons and their old Hor&s;e,</L>
<L>And from the Rage of Bloody Force.</L>
<L>If you &s;hall look on us as Faultie,</L>
<L>Your Enemies will &s;ay your Guilty.</L>
<L>Seeing we &s;uffered all along,</L>
<L>For Points your Highne&s;s thinks not wrong.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="verse paragraph">
<L>And La&s;tly SIR, we you Advi&s;e,</L>
<L>For Sometimes Fools Coun&s;els the Wi&s;e.</L>
<L>Cau&s;e purge the Kirk of men not &s;ent,</L>
<L>The <HI>Curats</HI> who have made this Rent.</L>
<L>That were Thru&s;t in for to keep Room,</L>
<L>And open kept the Door for <HI>Rome.</HI></L>
<L>Cau&s;e &s;wipe the Courts of Bauds and Whores</L>
<L>And Courtiers that are ill doers</L>
<L>And when all &s;uch are turned out,</L>
<L>It's likely SIR we'l come to Court,</L>
<L>Victorious SIR, we humbly begg,</L>
<L>That you may purge us from &s;uch Dreg.</L>
<L>And grant what we before expre&s;s,</L>
<L>And we &s;hall freely pay the Ce&s;s.</L>
<L>Or any Tribute you impo&s;e,</L>
<L>And &s;hall SIR, pray again&s;t your Foes.</L>
<L>Your Highne&s;s knows the Prayers of &s;uch,</L>
<L>If &s;ervant be availeth much.</L>
<L>We were the fir&s;t, SlR, in the Nation,</L>
<L>Who did proclaime your Declaration.</L>
<L>Where all may &s;ee it's a fal&s;e thing,</L>
<L>To &s;ay we do not own a King.</L>
<L>We do confe&s;s, we did gain&s;tand,</L>
<L>Impious Laws made in the land:</L>
<L>And Duke of <HI>York</HI> whom they made King,</L>
<L>And that SlR, for no other thing,</L>
<L>But that we judged by our Bible,</L>
<L>He &s;hould not King but had a Lybel.</L>
<L>Becau&s;e he was not presbyter,</L>
<L>And firmly thought us to en&s;nare.</L>
<L>And bring us back by Boots and Rope,</L>
<L>To damn our Souls and &s;erve the Pope.</L>
<L>But Providence did &s;end you here,</L>
<L>To put a &s;top to their Carrier.</L>
<L>When the Army heard of <HI>Switzer</HI> Saints,</L>
<L>From <HI>Athei&s;ts</HI> they turned <HI>Prote&s;tants.</HI></L>
<L>Of &s;udden, and took &s;uch remor&s;e,</L>
<L>They left their King both Foot and Hor&s;e,</L>
<L>For which we in one we do Agree,</L>
<L>To &s;erve you to Po&s;terity.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="verse paragraph">
<L><HI>SIR,</HI> Take this &s;peech as we can write it.</L>
<L>For we have few Learned Men to dyte it.</L>
<L>No &s;onner got we men of &s;en&s;e,</L>
<L>But &s;till the Council &s;ent them hence:</L>
<L>By Bullet, Rope, or otherway,</L>
<L>Suffered them not at deth to Pray.</L>
<L>But beat their <HI>Drums</HI> and made a &s;port,</L>
<L>Of <HI>Alva</HI> lea&s;t they &s;hould come &s;hort.</L>
<L>It would be tedious to enlarge,</L>
<L>And give our Enemies their Charge.</L>
<L>The <HI>Hind let loo&s;e,</HI> when it is &s;een,</L>
<L>Will tell you <HI>SIR,</HI> what we have been.</L>
<L>And other Pieces of great worth,</L>
<L>Which els we have and &s;hall let forth.</L>
<L>By which You'll find we are not Noddies,</L>
<L>Tho we be poor and wandring Bodies,</L>
<L>We hope Your Highne&s;s will excu&s;e,</L>
<L>That we Your Patience will abu&s;e.</L>
<L>With this Tedious and Rude Ryme,</L>
<L>When you are Throng and has no time.</L>
<L>That were prolict this is the Rea&s;on,</L>
<L>To Supplicat before was Trea&s;on.</L>
<L>We wi&s;h you well, <HI>SIR,</HI> in a word,</L>
<L>You we will &s;erve with Life and Sword.</L>
