T'excess, which would be Felo de se,
By Latitude and Comprehensions,
That make such wild and vast Extensions;
Throw down the Church's just Enclosures,
To let in Coblers, Tinkers, Hosiers,
Who Pray Extempore and Preach
That GOD may never heal the Breach.
This Truth can be deny'd by no Man,
If once the State the Church lays Common,
It must inevitably Dine
O'th' Fat all Pharaoh's Leaner Kine.
