An Humble ADDRESS TO THE Most ILLUSTRIOUS and High Born Iames Francis Edward , Present Prince of WALES . THou greatest Prince in the whole Christian World If from ABOVE thy Soul was hither hurl'd , In Sacred Wedlock , plain to our Lords appear In spight of Fate thou still art Legal Heir : If from Below thy Noble Soul did come , Thou art Prae-curser to the Pope of Rome , His certain Down fall , therefore we declare An open War against the Roman Chair . Peace pretty Prince , Peace Petty Prince , thy Fate God only knows , neither the Church nor State ; Thy Birth , some say , is of the deepest Dye ; Thou Guiltless art , though some for thee may Lie , Us to Enslave to Roman Tyranny . What an Imposter set up in the Throne ? Like to that vertuous Pope the Lady Joan. Sure this Exploit will ope the Romans Eyes That their grand Popes are Devils in Disguise . In setting of thee up , they spoil'd their Plot , And now their Names will ever Die and Rot: And if thou Liv'st but ten Years more to come , Thou may'st then hear there was a Pope of Rome , And hundreds more , who Piss'd all in one Quill , No Laws could bind them , only their own Will . By such great Shams , we now may plainly see Not Rome nor English Church should make us Free , Save this high ARBOR , God's Great Orange-Tree . Soli Deo Gloria .
