Mary, Queene of England.
What means this Popish Fogg the Church to smother?Where is the Queen should be a nursing Mother?
Edward preceeded thee in the same form,
That a bright Sun foreruns a blustering storme:
For Age and Sex, all at the stake we see;
O burning zeal, and frozen Charity.
If to deny the Tyranny you please,
Behold a Cloud of faithfull Witnesses:
No, it were better to bethink with speed,
What Sackcloth such a world of ashes need.
But Madam, were not these your own intents?
How have you suffer'd in your Instruments?
