<L>VVIll you plea&s;e to hear a Song,</L>
<L>though it want both rime and rea&s;on,</L>
<L>It was pen d to doe no wrong,</L>

<L>Of he or &s;he what ere they be,</L>
<L>that wi&s;h Church Orders quite confounded,</L>

<L>of fervent zeale, I meane a <HI>Round-head.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Fir&s;t heele have a &s;moothing tongue,</L>
<L>next hee'le learne for to di&s;&s;emble,</L>
<L>And when he heares of wilfull wrongs</L>
<L>then &s;igh, and looke as he would Tremble,</L>
<L>Next of all then let him fall</L>
<L>to pride of heart and &s;ecret bravery,</L>
<L>Speaking &s;till again&s;t all ill.</L>
<L>that is the cloake to hide his knavery.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Let Charity be u&s;ed much,</L>
<L>in words at length and not in actions,</L>
<L>For tis the common u&s;e of &s;uch,</L>
<L>not to do't but give directions,</L>
<L>They will be loath to &s;weare an Oath,</L>
<L>by yea and nay you may believe them,</L>
<L>But for their games they will take paines,</L>
<L>to cheat and lye and never grieve them.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Common Prayer they like it not,</L>
<L>for they are wi&s;e and can make better,</L>
<L>And &s;uch a teacher they have got,</L>
<L>confutes it all in word and letter,</L>
<L>For they can raile, mens hearts to quaile,</L>
<L>with deepe damnation for their &s;inning,</L>
<L>Yet to amend heele nere intend,</L>
<L>for to transgre&s;&s;e hee's now beginning.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But hee's a very worthy man,</L>
<L>and undertakes more then hee's able,</L>
<L>And in a Tub &s;ometimes heele &s;tand,</L>
<L>in Hay-barne, Sheepe-hou&s;e, or in Stable,</L>
<L>While all the rout that comes about,</L>
<L>to heare his Doctrine, Saints he cals them,</L>
<L>They vow and &s;weare they nere did heare,</L>
<L>&s;uch worthy things as he hath told them,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>They will not heare of Wedding Kings,</L>
<L>for to be u&s;ed in their marriage,</L>
<L>But &s;ayes they're &s;uper&s;titious things,</L>
<L>and doth Religion much di&s;parage,</L>
<L>They are but vaine, and things prophane,</L>
<L>and therefore it no whit behoves them,</L>
<L>So to be tyde unto the Bride,</L>
<L>but doe it as the Spirit moves them.</L>

<L>NO Pater-no&s;ter no: no Creed</L>
<L>in their petitions they will mention,</L>
<L>And holds ther's nothing good ind&eacute;ed,</L>
<L>but what is done through their invention:</L>
<L>Prayers that are old, in vaine they hold,</L>
<L>which can with God no favour merit,</L>
<L>And therefore they w<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ll nothing &s;ay,</L>
<L>but as thei'r moved by the &s;pirit.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The wi&s;e&s;t Schooles they count but fooles,</L>
<L>which doe no more then they have taught them</L>
<L>For Browni&s;ts they can preach or pray,</L>
<L>with wit their fathers never bought them:</L>
<L>Then I perceive that wit they have,</L>
<L>they doe receive by in&s;piration,</L>
<L>No bookes they n&eacute;ed, to learne to read,</L>
<L>if all be true in their relation.</L>
</LG>

<L>Onely the Horne-booke I would have,</L>
<L>you practi&s;e at the fir&s;t beginning,</L>
<L>That they the better may peceive,</L>
<L>the <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters">iute that comes by fle&s;hly &s;hining:</L>

<L>Le&s;t that the Gho&s;t, which leads you mo&s;t,</L>
<L>by too much art &s;hould be abu&s;ed.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Their haire clo&s;e to their heads they crop,</L>
<L>and yet not onely for the fa&s;hion,</L>
<L>But that the care it &s;hould not &s;top,</L>
<L>from hearing of &s;ome rare relation</L>
<L>Therefore his eares he well preparee,</L>
<L>to hearken to an holy Brother,</L>
<L>That in regard, he may be heard,</L>
<L>from one &s;ide of the barne to'th other,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>They count their fathers were but fooles,</L>
<L>who formerly became &s;uch debters,</L>
<L>To &s;pend their meanes upon the Schooles,</L>
<L>to teach their &s;ons a few fond letters:</L>
<L>The Chri&s;t Cro&s;&s;e row, is enough to &s;how</L>
<L>a child, the re&s;t hee'l quickly gather,</L>
<L>And learne to read, if he proceed,</L>
<L>till he be wi&s;er then his father.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And at the la&s;t, when they mu&s;t part,</L>
<L>let Male and Female goe together,</L>
<L>Ioyn'd in hand, and ioyn'd in heart,</L>
<L>and ioyn'd a little for their plea&s;ure:</L>
<L>Fir&s;t for ki&s;&s;es they'l agree,</L>
<L>and what comes next you may coniecture,</L>
