Found on the Church-Door at Whitehall, January 30. 1696.
What, fast and prayFor the horrid Murder of the Day!
And at the same time drive the Son away,
The Royal Father and the Royal Son?
While by your Praying you their Rights do own.
Go ask your Learned Bishop and your Dean,
What these strange Contradictions mean;
And cease to fast and pray and trouble Heaven,
Sins, whilst unrepented, cannot be forgiven.
