[What the Priests Gospel call]
1
What the Priests Gospel call
Doth not move us at all,
We Commons will have the Dominion;
Whatsoe'er St. Paul taught
Of Subjection, we vote,
Is but one Doctor's Opinion.
2
Since James does not merit
After Charles to inherit,
And hates the Saints new Reformation;
We'll be rul'd by the Devil,
And do what is Evil,
That Good may thence come to the Nation.
3
We are taught by St. Peter,
To submit; but 'tis sweeter,
To rule as his Successors tell us:
Let the Church and State groan,
We'll give Laws to the Throne,
At least be his Majesty's Fellows.
4
What's Great Charles unto us?
If he lets James undo us,
We owe him no longer Subjection.
Then Hugh doth afford
Us the use of the Word,
And appears for our Protection.
5
Let him lay York aside,
Let Jack Presbyter ride,
There's no other way to please us;
Then to Charles we'll be true,
As the Treacherous Jew
To the innocent crucify'd Jesus.
6
Then 'twill quickly appear,
That we value Tangier:
And he need not make any Motion
For Money or Men
On that Score agen,
All we have is at his devotion.
