A Stanza put on Westminster-Hall-Gate.

When Nature's God for our Offences dy'd,
Among the Twelve one Judas did reside.
Here's Twelve assembled for the Nation's Peace,
Among which Twelve, Eleven are Judasses.
One's true to's Trust, but all the rest accord
With Jews and Pagans to betray their Lord.
What Madness, Slaves! what was't cou'd you provoke
To stoop once more unto the Romish Yoke?
May you be curs'd, and all your Hopes demolish'd,
And perish by those Laws you have abolish'd.
