<P>_WHAT my Malignant friends, hang downe your heads? How? is <HI>Ba&s;ing hou&s;e</HI> taken without <HI>Cere|remony?</HI> Tis a miracle: (<HI>Crom|well</HI> nere Complements.) Could tho&s;e tall Walls, Bulwarkes, and Forts, that were ca&s;t up by the &s;ubtill art of the forraign Engineers be &s;caled with|out a fall? Could not all the legend of Dammee
<PB N="2" REF="3">blades, that were able to make the devill afraid, make <HI>Cromwell</HI> bow. What &s;erved the new dubbed Go|vernour for? Had he no &s;tratagem nor plot that was bound prenti&s;e to draw plots? Certainly, he was ill drawne out. What &s;erved the religious and migh|ty Lord and Ma&s;ter for; could hee invoke none of the Saints? It is wonder, for the man was very &s;e|rious at his Devotion: no Phari&s;ee Ile a&s;&s;ure you, for he was found numbring his B<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="2 letters">ds very privately in an Oven. Poore Cavileer, thy condition is la|mentable; though thou have Antichri&s;t, the Pope, the divel &amp; all to thy friends, thou mu&s;t &s;ubmit. What is become of that invincible Garri&s;on, that nea&s;t of uncleane Birds, that hath continued for divers yeeres ha<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">ched, brought forth, and fo&s;tered &s;undry impious deeds; that very &s;eed plot and Nur&s;erie of all mi&s;chiefe? where is all their Contribution-money the poore Country-men payd? What is be|come of all their Plunder, that they very curti|ou&s;ly tooke from the poore Countrey-men; and out of Charity undid them and their whole Fa|milies? it is now all come to nothing. Though their reigne was long; the Ne&s;t is now pulled downe, and the Denne is committed to the mercy of the fire, there is &s;carce one &s;tone left upon another: And this I wi&s;h may prove a timely example to the o|ther Malignant Garri&s;ons, and provoke them to a &s;peedy Contrition, that they may come in before they be con&s;trayned.</P>
