XXIV.

If you those Gentlemen detain
By your unbounded Power,
'Tis hop'd you'l never more complain
Of Bishops in King James's Reign,
Sent blindly to the Tower.

The Bishops were close Prisoners made,
By reason of their Conscience,
But these Impertinents, affraid
A War would spoil their Owling Trade,
Are shut up for their Nonsence.
