Cethegus's Apology FOR NON-APPEARANCE UPON HIS Conjurer's Summons . THAT we appear'd not at thy Friendly Call , Know , 't was not Want of Will nor Want of Gall , ( This the Sole Talent is of Souls in Thrall . But We , once Slaves to ARBITRARY FATE , Cann't Sham the LAWS of our COERCIVE STATE : Then Muse not if I don 't at SVMMONS come To Thunder in GVILD-HALL , as erst in ROME . Thy Friendly Lines received , and humbly Kiss'd , I● token of Applause our FVRIES * * Yelping , No North Hiss'd : And We , known Friends to your ASSOCIATION Hell's Faction cited to swift CONSVLTATION . From Korah down to Knox , All came on Breast , With later IMPS shut out from BAXTER's Rest . Thus met , We first Condol'd , That Souls born Free Like Yours , should be retrench'd by Monarchy , Since Hells sole Priviledge is Anarchy . We pitty'd the Rejection of your Choice , The Peoples ( if not Gods ) is sure Our Voice . On quick Debate : Time must not now be spent ; ( At this Consult BRADSHAW was PRESIDENT . Resolv'd . — No Devil like an Human wit , None for GVILD-HALL Debates Below so fit . On North-side of an useless , Tuberous Pile A Wight lives , Chief Wigg-leader of your Isle : Known to Men-Worthy , Hugg'd by Worthy Men , Who ●ll Infernal Wiles has in his Ken. To Him was Granted , in Year Fourty Three By Patent , Hell's Last Arch-Monopoly : All Governments to Vex , in all admir'd to be . To Him you have Applyed ; He 's All in All : Our Furies need not , whilst His fill your Hall . On then . — All Hell 's Extempore Effusions Shall help to agravate That days Confusions ; We 'll make such Medly with our Fiend-land Prayer , That Ours with Yours sent up , shall Blast your Ayr. Cartwright with our Ignatius shall joyn Tones , * * A Wigg Nun. Teresa with † † The wonderful Praying . Maid . of St. Ives , burnt afterwards for a Witch in New England . Mall Hawkins send up Groans , Jesuits and Wiggs shall all be Vnisons . Rest sure of Hells best wishes ALL and ONE , From Cain to Mahomet and Muggleton . Mean while by Pole and Noise Assert your Right By Hell , 't is Yours , although J. Moor deny 't . Let then no Foyles Heroique Souls Dismay ; Expect fresh Aids ere * * St. Michael's Day . Sherman's Martyr's Day . Disdain the slights o' th' Man you stile LORD MAYOR ; His shall be Fallible , as PETER's Chair : In this Assurance , Braves , your , Heads , up lift , Dominion's Yours by Satan's DEED of GIFT : And this Firm Tye Endears us to Your State Both COVENANTS Love alike , alike ALLEGIANCE Hate . FINIS .
