But then he had a fresh Occasion
To put in Print More Reformation;
Where he, to shew his mighty Brains,
Sets forth less Penitence than Pains,
To write a Book for Royal Pardon;

And breed more Civil Whiggish Factions;
In hopes Religious Rites to Murder,
And fling out Decency and Order,
As on the Surplice he cast Dirt,
And call'd it Antichrist's foul Shirt.
