TO ALL THE Nobility , Clergy , and Gentry Of Great Brittaine , True Subiects to King Iames. TO you that ( like the sollid wheeles of Fate ) Giue sweete or troubled Motion to a State : To you that bath our soules in Sacred streames , ( In which they thriue as you grow Hot or Colder : ) And last , to you , the Kingdomes beames . ( All , strong Collumnes that vphold her . ) O let me not seeme bolder Than my country zeale requires , If these weake ( but hallowed ) fires Offer vp This Sacrifize , Which vpon the Altar lyes Of my hearts Deuotion . Since so strange Commotion . ( Now ) with giddy base Alarmes Puffes the Romist vp in Armes , That he dares his Cullors vant Gainst th' vnme●ling Protestant : O You , that our Chieftaines are , Giue not o're this holy warre , Fight it out . You cannot fall , God being sworne your Generall . That your Triple darts may hit , All your Nerues together knit , And shoote'em with an English hand , So shall your Heires and Houses stand ( Like Pillers ) on f●●me Bases . So Great Brittaine shall grow greater , and her Land Enlarge as Wee these Lines : your Peace shall flow Cleere : High : and smooth : So The Seauen Hills shall fall , 〈…〉

THE DOVBLE PP. A Riddle on the double ▪ PP. VPon the double PP. badder fruits grow Than on al letters in the Christ-Crosse-Row ; It sets ( by reason of the Badge it weares ) The Christ-Crosse-Row , together by the eares : The reason is , this haughtie double PP. Would clyme aboue both A. B. C. and D. And trample on the necks of E. F. G. H. I. ( Royall K. ) L. M. N. O. and Q. Threatning the fall of R. S. T. and V. The Resolution . PP. -PaPa . - the PoPe . Christ-Crosse-Row , ●Christendome . A. B. C. D. E. &c. the States of the land : As Archbishos , Bishops , Councellors , Dukes , Earles , &c. K. the King . Q. the Queene . R. Religion . S. State . T. Truth . V. You all .

THE PICTVRE of a Iesuite . A Harpye face ; a Foxes head : ( In Lamb-Skins closely couered ) A Mandrakes voice , whose tunes are cries , So peircing , that the Hearer dies ; Mouth'd like an Ape , his innate spite Being to mock Those hee cannot bite : Neckt like a Crane , hee chawes a Crowne , But choakes before hee gets it downe : A Camel●s back , ( that Slaue-like ) beares Castles , that Rome vpon him reares : Goate-bellied : rather then heele leeze His Lust , hee le browze vpon his knees . For Legs , two Engines hee does vse , Which turne ( to any coast ) on Skrewes , Or , like the vaulting horses legs His , are made long ( by Iron pegs ) Or shoter , as his mind best fits him , To cast , or cary him that sits him ; At the worst hand , hee buyes in Rome His heart : his Hands from Turky come . Which in Their Blood hee s sworne to bath , That are Defenders of the Fayth . All the Garments that hee weares Are the Turnd Skins of Wolues and Beares : And yet ( yet then hee bloodiest proues ) Hee 's sometimes fetherd like to Doues . When hee s a Gallant , then hee vailes His Bonnet , plum'd with Peacocks tayles : And those hee weares , because their eyes ( Stuck in his front ) may serue as Spies : Nor does his Shape keepe still these Fashions , But puts on seuerall Transmutations When Church or Church-men he misvses , A Rookes or Martins nest hee chooses : Else hee 's that prating bird that ●owles , The ( now Vn-tri●d ) bald head of Powles . And is so bold that hee dare presse To 'th Ea●es of Bishops Pallaces : Where , harsh and vn-religious notes Hee singes against their Reuerend Coates . When faire Court-flowers hee does espy , Hee turnes into a Butter-flye , And striues to beate his filmy wings Against th' Annointed heads of Kings . Yet when the searching winter comes With the Drone-Bee away he hums ; For hee 's a Swallow , and is seene , Neuer , but when the woodes are greene ; Or if the Maine-land hee forsakes , A Sea-pies body then hee takes , And goes a fishing ; All his feeding Being where the Fry has fattest breeding ▪ Or ( if hee spy a lustie Sayle , ) Hee turnes to a Deuowring Whale , Yet at the least blow giuen does roare And beates his boistrous selfe on shoare : Sometimes hee 's neither beast , nor man , Nor Bird , nor a Leuiat●an , But an Essentiall diuell , and varies More cullors than the Rainbowe caries , Hee 's Brown , hee 's Gray , hee 's Black , hee 's white , Hee 's Any thing . A Iesuite .

If you desire to behold him in more shapes , I will bestow vpon you the picture of Him , drawne like a Trauailer , by the hands of a forrein Painter ( in these cullors . )

Iesuita . Seductor S●eco ▪ Gallo Si●arius ; Anglo Proditor ; Imperio Explorator ; Da●us ●bero ; Ital● adulator ; Dixi teres or● suitam .

Altred by vs into these proportions .

Sweden . Of Him , that subtile threds does weaue , Seductor Sueco . To catch the Polack and the Swe●e : And of such wydenes would build Rome , That it should hold , All Christendome . France . Of Him , that is a Guizian Leaguer , ●allo Sicarius . And ( for the Church ) does Massacre The church it selfe , whilst France does flame , And then cuts Throates to quench the same . England . Of Him , Anglo Pr●ditor . that ( whereso'ere hee 's bred ) Is Enuies heart , and Treasons head , For , England bout the neck hee clips , And kisses . But with Iudas lips . Germany . Of Him , Imperi● Explorator . that vnder Zeales pretence , From Belgia sucks Intelligence , And posts it o're , yet lies in waite , To cleaue the Seauenteene-Headed State . Spayne . Of Him , Da●●s . Iber● . that to the Spanish strond Creeping but like a Vagabond , P●●ues a Court-card , is painted braue , And wins strange tricks by being the Knaue . Italy . Of Him , Ita●● 〈◊〉 . that drinkes Italian healthes On seruile knees , and ( by base Stelthes ) Gets into'a Pope , and waites vpon ( As Bawd ) the Whore of Babilon . Behold , I write : Of all these Hims , no Hymnes I write , Can any praise the Iesuite .

Non Cum Iesuitis , Qui itis cum Iesuitis .

But because you shall haue him don to the life , here bee other Peeces wrought with the same Pencill .

Seductor Sueco .

A Sed●cer of the S●euian . It is fresh in the memorie of Time , that Sigismond King of Polonia & Suecia , comming to receiue his Right there , after the decease of his father ; the Iesuites swarmd about him like Locu●ts , working ( priuately ) in his eare , and ( by publick Sermons ) in the eares of the Commons , for the Vndermyning and blowing vp of that Religion which there they termed Lutheran Heresie : and so far durst they venture , that they perswaded Sigismond to be hot in ●he vtter Extirpation thereof , albeit it should cost the destruction of his Kingdome , because ( as they told him ) He●●en was laid downe to be won by him at that cast .

Gallo Sicarius .

A Cut-throat to the Frenchman . If you looke vpon that Truculent , Barbarous and Di●ellish torturing of Frenchmen ( by those that spoke no other language than French ) in that Their Vniuersall Guizian Massacre , setabroach by Iesuiticall Instruments , and executed by The Holy League , the Iesuite , cannot be angry , to haue that name of Sicarius bestowed vpon him . To shut vp which French Tragedy , what blacke Art did they practize to coniure vp a diuell in the likenesse of a Frier ( Iaques Clement ) whom these Exorcists armde to kill Henry the third , the last of Valoys ; and now since what Fencing Trickes haue they not deuised to draw blood of this present French King : for playing of which parts , they haue bin so exploded , that they are ( Renouato Edicto proscripti ) banished out of the Kingdom , are h●ld to be , & so proclaimed Parricides , and liue in such base reputation , that euen their Grand Signior ( the Pope ) is halfe ashamde to acknowledge them for his children .

Anglo Proditor .

A Traytor to the Englishman . The Chronicle of Tiburne can witnesse it : A Catalogue of all those Iesuited English , that shot their Romaine darts at the Head of the late Queene of England , would fill a Muster-book . How often did they labour to sowe Sedition in her Dominions , and to sell her Crowne to the Spaniard ? To preuent which and the like mischiefes , they haue bin likewise Proscribed , by our Soueraigne King Iames.

Imperio Explorator .

A Spy to Germany . We need'no more'examples than of those Fugitiue English , that for many yeeres together haue liu'de in the Low Countries , practizing by themselues , and ( by reason of the short passage betweene them and vs ) giuing quick and dangerous Intelligence to their owne Faction here ) of any Romaine Plots against the state of their natiue Country : None being more bloody , nor more thirsting for her ouerthrow , than They. In this Germaine Nest was this Diabolicall , horrid , and most impious late Conspiracy hatcht ; damnably begotten , miraculously preuented .

Dauus Ibero .

A crafty Knaue to the Spaniard . Phillip the late King of Spaine might call him so , vpon good experience . For the Iesuite so infeoffd himselfe ( by subtile Insinuation ) into those Territories , that ( vnder cullor that all his Actions , and practises were onely bent to amplifie the Spanish Kings Greatnesse , ) he seemde rather to bee a Soueraigne then a Subiest . Their chiefe cunning being ( out of diuers Nations ) to allure discontented yong Gentlemen & others , to fly to them ( from their owne countries ) with hopes of golden mountaines , whom afterwardes they send abroad , and abuse to their owne destruction .

Italo adulator .

A Sicophant to the Italian . In the Sea of Rome do these Italian Pirates hope to get the richest prizes : Needes therefore must the Pope , and his Co●ledge of Cardinalls , be much pestred with them : and by reason that Omnia V●enalia Romae , ( no penie , no pater-noster there ) they must of necessitie flatter and fawne vpon their Italian Maisters , that by the warmth of their wings they may bee fledgde , and get store of feathers on their backs , to fly vp and down , and ( like Grashoppers ) to deuoure and spoile the fruits and fieldes of Christendome . Or if they returne home , ( which seldome happens ) that then for their good seruice , they may be entertained as poore vassailes , to waite vpon their Great Italian Madona ( Antichrists daughter ) that rides vpon the Beast with se●uen Heads .

THE Romish Army . A Papist Couchant , — or the Fawner . A Papist Passant , — or the Plodder . A Papist Passant-Gardant , — or the Spye . A Papist Variant , — or the Changeling . A Papist Volant , — or the Run-away . A Papist Seminant , — or the Popes Husbandman . A Papist Saliant , — or the Ambusher . A Papist Rampant , — or the Cutthroat . A Papist Vmbreant , — or the Vnderminer . A Papist Pendant , — or the Hanger-on .

A PAPIST IN ARMS , bearing ten seuerall Sheildes . The First , A Papist Couchant . OR The Fawner . A Papist Couchant is thus shap'de : A man Whose brow doth kisse his knee at euery beck , He weyes his Houres , Words , Lookes , & closely can Creepe into credit , and eschew the Check : And ( by his Spaniell-fawning ) saue his neck , Hee sleepes with open eyes ; his Armes thus part , One to embrace , t'other to Stab your heart . Hee will not argue of Religion , Nor State : ( for on his lip his finger lyes ) When treason is vnmaskde he will be One Shall first spit in her face . To Temporize Is all his Art : close villany hee buyes , And layes it vp for a ●eere yeere : Meane time , Hee frets : would pull down Stars , but feares to clime .

A Papist passant , OR The Plodder . A Papist Passant is of other cullor , For hee s not nice to let his zeale be showne , And that his works may make his glory fuller , Through ecchoing Mouths ( like trumpets ) are they blown : He keeps the laws , & twice a yeere is known To sit it'● Church , why ? for Religion ! No : But that g●owing safe , he may be let to grow . Hee texts will cite , and wrest : to Church and State Hee le giue by-blowes , but su●e to giue no bruize ; And of the Kings proceedings wildely prate , But warily , that none shall him accuse ; Or ( if he fall i th Snare ) he will abuse Euen his owne Conscience to get forth : forsweare The Pope ; his coate hee le change 1● . times a yeere .

A Papist passant Gardant . OR The Spie . THe Passant Gardant Papist , thus I lym , Hee comes to Court , then to the Presence goes , And ( by the warrant of good cloathes ) doth swim In greatest streames ; and where State-matter flowes , There layes he close his eare , yet dreading blowes Tyes vp his tongue , and getting safe from thence , To Rhemes or Rome sailes his Intelligence . His guilt ( at each step ) back doth skrew his head ▪ He ●tarts to see a Pursuiuant : and curses The earth that bears a church which doth not sp●ed The Romaine-ensigne . At his brest he nurses A brood of Vipers : and sends out the forces Of all his Wishes , gainst his Prince and State , And shifts oft , hating to Communicate .

A Papist Variant . OR The Changeling . PArty perpale , a Papist Variant , Goes in pide coates , ( for , as the Moon● he varies ) Hee s Papist , Puritane , and Protestant , In one Kings raigne . Vnder that wing hee taries That best him couers , and that least miscaries . Hee s like an Instrument of sundry strings , Not one in tune , yet any note he sings . When Mary rules , he blowes the Martirs fire , And when her Sister , gainst the Masse hee railes , But when your Royall selfe , was to aspire , To that which was your owne , hee flagd his Sailes , Watching what wind turnd next , to which he vailes His Surly top . But playing many parts , Hee cannot but haue many dangerous hearts .

A Papist Volant , OR The Run-away . A Papist Volant is that Fugitiue , That flies the Realme , and sweares his conscience sends him , When t is grosse Treason : Better does he thriue At Lo●ayne then in London , for Rome lends him A free tongue there , and for his voice commends him , Tho Hell roares through it : after he has flowne All Kingdomes o're , onely hee files his owne . Like to a ball of wilde-fire does he run From land to land , his countries same down burning , And So●ereignes honor : yet the flames being don , Hee s trod out like a Snuffe : hee s neuer mourning But at the death of mischiefe : Kingdomes turning Is the maine-tyde he followes ; and if warre Wast his own feildes , than he none bloodier are .

A Papist Seminant , OR The Popes Husbandman . A Papist Seminant , springs from the brood , Of th' arrogant Iesuite , and Sowes Seditio● in mens hearts ▪ dreynes from their blood All pure Alleg●ance ; and where Gentry growes Most pliant to be wrought , his Char●es he throws : Hee deales with Willowes rather than with Oakes , Bending ( with words ) the subiect , not with stroakes . A Fencer , yet a coward : for hee teaches Others to kill their Soueraignes , yet hee dares not Venture vpon a King himselfe : hee preaches Close in your eare ▪ To cleaue a State ▪ he cares not To make his head the wedge : & therefore spares not His own blood , more to shed ; proud of this doome , A ●yburne Traytor is a Saint in Rome .

A Papist Salliant . OR , The Ambusher . A Papist Salliant thus creepes vp : hee 's sicke Of Sloth and selfe-opinion , and ( being poore ) Turnes to a male-contented Catholick ; Railes at the State , cause it regards no more Men of his ranck , and vowes hee will steale o're And doe ! oh ! yet staies still : he sets vpon The Court with Libells : Stabbing it , hee s gon . ●ee loues the Lee●shore well , for there he lyes And houers ( all vnrigd in Sight ) to stay Till ciuill , or vnciuill tempests rize , For then sallies he forth , then is his day : Rapes , robberies , and sackt Cities are his prey ; To feede his owne lust , hee 'le his father choake , Yet laps all this within Religions Cloake .

A Papist Rampant . OR The Cut-throat . A Papist Rampant is a furious beast ▪ Hee sets vpon a King : and holds heauen won To suck the Annointeds blood : the Rampants nest Hatches In●asion : bred at home , they run , To dambd Conspiracies , In which are spun Kings , Queenes , & Princes deaths ; & ( as with Thunder ) Whole Empires at one blow they ride in ●under . This Beast hath many heads , and hands and feete , Some short , some long ( all armde to execute ) Vpwards t is like a man , in count'nance sweete , The lower parts weare such a ciuill sute , It seemes Man too , But ( puld off ) some dispute That t is a Diuell : how-ere this they tell , Where ere it liues , It was begot in Hell .

A Papist Vmbreant . OR The Moldwarp . A Papist Vmbreant ( like a Skreech-owle ) sits All days vnseen : but when the sorcerous night Spreds her deepe Spells , hee coniures vp his wits , Giuing his soule to Treason ▪ hee 's a Sprite That deales in Fire-workes ▪ Vaults are his delight , Where for his close Traynes , hell does him prefer To be Arch●Enginist to Lucifer . His walkes are shades & mines : his thoughts still beating Vpon a Kingdomes ruine , which he ventures Staking his soule : And whilst the Irons are heating , Damnation drawes twixt him and her Indentures , To which he seales : But ere this hel-hound enters Vpon the Land he couets , See! Gods arme With a weake blow in sunder breakes the Charme .

A Papist Pendant . OR , The Hanger-on . OF those Nine seuerall Coates , when none can ●it , ( For some mislike the making , some the fashion ) This Tenth ( both for the stuffe and for his wit , That cutts it forth ) is pleasing to our Nation , And that s the Pendant Papis● . His vocation Is not to meddle ; vp he well is bred , ●or when he has don ill , he hangs the Head . 1 2 3 He neither Fawnes nor Prates , nor is a Spy , 4 5 6 Changeling , nor Fugitiue , nor Seminary , 7 8 9 Nor Wolfe , nor Lyon , nor Mold-warp : to clime hye And to be proud ( for on no ground hee le tary ) Are all his faults . And though he oft miscary , Yet this good turne hee s sure off , when the Rest Are all held Bad , the Pendant is the best . Summa . Of Couchant , Passant , and of Passant-Gardant , Of Variant , Volant , and of Seminant , Of Saliant , Rampant : Vmbreant and Pendant , Summe vp th' Account , the Tota●l thus will fall , Not one good Subiect breathes amongst them All.

The Encounter . AS these Ten Monsters ( with the Antique Race Of Gigants ) claime a breeding in this Isle , In Lawes , Language , and State , to leaue it base ; To turne out Forme : to make Religion vile : To haue Kings Names no more hung on the Fyle Of blest succession : But with fires ( from Rome ) To rak't vp quite at the Generall Doome . So , Second Brute , with ten stout Combatants , Encounters Those , & ( with most god-like Charmes ) Vncurles their Snaky K●ots , their Eyes so inchants They turne to Stones with wonder : false Alarmes These know and laugh at ; & from Lightnings harmes So guard the Tree of Peace , that in her Sunny And silent Shades , Wee feede on milke and hony .

THE SINGLE , P.

A Riddle on the single P. THe single P. makes all the Letters grow In goodly Ranks vpon the Christ-crosse-Row : And ( by the reuerend , holy Badge it weares , ) The Christ-crosse-Row , from giddy Faction cleares , The reason is , this ( Honest single ) P. Lowly submits to A. B. C. and D. Yet fights in the defence of E. F. G. H. I. ( Roial K. ) L. M. N. O. and Q. And runnes through Fire * * Marterdome . for R. S. T. and V. The Resolution . Single P. -Protestantisme . Christ-crosse-Row-Christendome . A. B. C. & D. - the states of the land as Archbishops , Bishops , Councellors , Dukes , &c. K. — King . Q. — Queene . R. — Religion . S. — State . T. — Truth . V. — You all . THE PROTESTANT Army . The Nobilitie . The Councell of Estate . The Cleargie . The Iudges of the Land . The Vniuersities . The Martialists . The Merchants . The Mariners . The Husbandmen . The Artificers .

THE PAPIST Encountred . THE PROTESTANT Combatants . The First . Dynastes . OR The Nobleman . THe first goes armde from head to foote in ●●iles O● glorious A●cestry ▪ hee 's the CourtIe●● ▪ The Princes , Hee , all others are his Fo●les , Hee 's a rich stone stuck in the Diadem : A graft so wrought into the Royall Stem ▪ Alike both suffer : thunder smi●ing Him , ( For nought else can ) the Weale does loose a limb . Since ●he Rep●blick therefore is his blood , His office is to saue it : to haue eyes Quick , piercing : not to be more great than good : For of that norishing flame ( In whose heate lyes A Kingdomes life ) Hee 's soule : It liues or dyes In him : of that free light when hee 's bereauen , ô pittie ! then a Star drops out of heauen .

Apolectos . OR Councellor of Estate . THe second Champion , thus abilimented Enters the Lists , her Gorgon-shield , her Speare , And Pallas-Helme , A●● three being Emblems of Prouidence , Wisdome , Fortitude . are his ▪ his Arme is extensed O're Seas and Land : the Kingdome with His eare , And His oraculous voice doth speake and heare : Hee holds her vp from sinking , and beates downe All tempests : Counsell best does steere a Crowne . His eyes are ( like the Watches of the night ) Set to all howers : His thoughts are searching streams , Labouring to cut the shores ( vneuen ) right ▪ And Romish Conspirations , slight as dreames , ( Like Moa●es discouered by the heau'nly beames , ) The Colledg'de Cardinall hates Him ▪ and 〈…〉 , For This as soone breaks , as Hee weaues the ●reason .

Antistes . OR , The Bishop . THe third that in Romes face throws braue defi●ce Carries Christs Standard ; and to Peters ●word Drawes Peters word : Angels are his Alliance ▪ Kings his nurse-children : at heauens counsell-board Hee tunes his voice vnto so sweete a Chord , Hee winnes mens very soules : and is therefore sent To be the Speaker in Gods Parliament . Hee 's the Lands gardner , and doth Schismes supplant To make Religion grow : nor plucks hee hearts Vp by the rootes ( as doe● the * * Iesuite . 〈◊〉 . ) But ( Champion like ) throwes his Spirit●all da●t● A● Miterd Heads , and those that are their parts ▪ The * * Gospell . ● . Go●s-spell . Holy-spells by Him to Subiects spread , Fasten the Kings Crowne closer to his head .

Dycastes . OR , The Iudg● . THe fourth that stands this Quarrel , is more strong In Scarlet then in St●ele : looke how the Moone Betweene the day , So Hee twixt Right and Wrong Sits Equall Empire : like the orbed Moone Empires by him swell hye , or fall as soone , For when 〈◊〉 ●ights , 〈◊〉 on foot-clothes ●ide , Al and so left , is like a rauisht Bride . The Regall Chaire would downe be thrown : Religion Take S●nctuary : No man durst be go●d , Nor could be safe being bad : Confusion Would be held 〈◊〉 : and ( as in the 〈◊〉 The world was couerd ) so would all in blood If Iustice eies were closde : No man sleeps , speakes , Nor ●ates but by Her : Traitors nets , she breakes .

Academicos . OR The Scholler . OVr Academick Warri●r next does tread This Ciuil March : with Art● strong Arguments Fighting where those Ten Squadrons gather head , Whose Rankes he breaks ; cuts off , and circumuents Their Ambushes : yea driues them to their Tents : Till Learnings seauen-fold shield does Truth aduance , And beates downe Ro●es vsurping ignorance . Hee 's , Honors beautie , and the Statists honor : The Churches piller , and the Lawes expo●nder : Hee serues ( A lack the while● ) vnder Wants banner , Yet Crozier-s●●●es ●triue to be his 〈◊〉 : ( Sick parts must faile , when we cu●●ff the ●ounder ) At Him , They therefore strike : Take 〈◊〉 away ▪ Men are but painted loame , and gilded clay .

Stratiotes . OR The Souldier . THe Drums & Clarions sound , and now behold Our Souldier ; Rampant like , no● V●●brea●t like Bloodily tearing Princes throates for Gold , Or playing the Moale : His sword does fairly strike . Hee talkes with Canons mouthes , and by his pike Measures out Peace ( peace is wouen out of warre ) Hee 's paralelled with Kings ; kings , souldiers are . Vpon his head grow Bayes ( proofe against Lightning And thundring terrors : ) on his heart , a Rock , Which giues to his own Nation , strength , & Heightning , To others , Ship-wrack . Hee s the waking Cock : The D●lphick Oracle , to which we flock When Hard Things happen : Hee 's when ( dangers call ) The Courts Guard : Countries ●ulwark : Cities wall .

Emporos . OR The Merchant . THe Seauenth ( in our Decem● virate , ) one Nation Colleagues with t'other : for the Merchant marrie , Kingdome to Kingdome by Negotiation : And as great volummes shrinke to Come●taries , So in a small Ship , Hee a Country carries , Transporting hence , his Owne , to forren Climes , And bringing al things from Them , ( but their Crimes . ) This is that Husb●nd Oe●on●micall Tha● giues a Citie , order , Wealth , and State , And ( like a Cedar ) growes so faire and Tall , That from Him ▪ springs The 〈◊〉 Magistrate . " So , little br●●kes ( going on ) incorporate " Themselues with diuers , And ( So ) Riuers can " In time doe ser●ice to the Oc●an .

Nautes . OR The Sea-man . NOw spred we all our Sailes : this Champion rides On the Foure Windes . Terror to proud Inuasion : And ( from but wodden ba●tlements ) de●ides The braues , the bullets , of the bloodiest Nation , For being at mortall few'd ( in deadliest fashion ) With Aire and Water , t is no humane charme , Can breake his courage , or his faith disarme . A progresse does Hee take from Realme to Realme , With goodly water-pageants borne before him , The safetie of the Land sits at his He●me , No danger ( Here ) can touch , but what runs ore him : But being in heau'ens eye still , It does restore him To liuelier Spirits ; to meete death with ease , " If thou wouldst know thy maker , search the Seas .

Arotes . OR The Plough-man . THe Earthes hard-handed Heire comes next to the field And claims a Kegimēt : He treads on F●●res And yet receiues all darts on his tough Shield , ( Shot from * * Winter . Sommer . Autumne . Spring . Foure Quarters at him , ) Blunt he appears But what he wants in Tong●e , he payes in * * Corne . Eares : The oxe and Hee are fellowes ; and haue sence Of equall paine , with equall patience . All feedes vpon the labour of his brow , Whilest Hee his own sweate drinkes : ●is all his glory To see gay Haruest ( like as great Lordes bow To Thrones ) to bend to Him : hee s neuer sory But when his 〈◊〉 * * The Eearth . ●ells a fruitles story : Yet ( vnderneath his yoake ) this note hee sings , Hee s Natures Iourny-man , but workes for Kings .

Technytes . OR , The Artificer . THe Reare-ward last aduances vp , being led By the industrious , thriuing Artizan , The waies of Science needes hee well must tread , For seauen yeares goe to make Him vp a man , And ( Then ) by all the lawfull steppes hee can , Climes hee to wealth : Enough is His hee vaunts , If tho he hoard not much , hee feele not wants . Hee 's th' Arme vnto a Citie : to a Realme The Nervous strings that fortefie the heart : No ●ough beyond-sea-stormes can ouer-whelme His Loialtie , or make his bosome part To let in Romaine Bandes , tho all their Art Be drawne to cleaue his faith with forked Shafts , Yet hee 's not subtile , ( But in Handi-crafts . )

The Battaile , AND Retrayte . COnfronted are both Armies ( breathing quick And hostile Flames , ) The One is puissant , But wilde , and Headles , the false Catholick : Fairely Arrainged comes the Protestant , Squar●d : Military : Few , but valiant : Led brauely , brauely followed , All Lion● like , And yet so spare of blood , They ( First ) neuer strike . For Mercie beares their Guydon , and does grieue At Fall of any : Should not Iustice stand Close by her , ( with The Sword Vindicatiue , ) The haught Invader would or'e-run the Land : But ( now ) Battalions gainst Battalions band : The Aluerado sounds , they Fight , and Fly , Ours is the Feild , Gods is the Victory . FINIS .
