A MAN in Favour , OR , The way to Preferment . To the Tune of , Would you be a Man of Fashion . I. WOuld you be a Man in Favour ? Would you have your Fortune kind ? Wear the Cross and Eat the Wafer , you 'll have all things to your Mind : If the Priests cannot Convert you , Int'rest then must do the thing . There are Fryers can inform you , how to please a P — T — . II. Would you see a Papist Lowring , lost in Hurry and a Fright ; With their Father Peters Scowring , glad of happy time for Flight . Stay but while the Dutch are Landed , and the show will straight appear ; When th' Infernal Sp'rits disbanded , few will stay for Tyburn here . III. If Preferment you 'd be gaining , Or advanc'd be nigh the Throne ; Bribe some pious Pimp , pertaining to the Whore of Babylon . Priests are now the sacred Noddyes , that spur on the hateful Cause ; They from Tyburn save their Bodies , by dispensing with our Laws . IV. Peters was the Popish Darling , now has left us in the lurch , And has quite giv'n o'er his snarling , and his snapping at our Church . Now 〈◊〉 Dutch are come to right her , Pet●● ●●dly fears a Cord : For the ●●ince will bite the Biter , and his Holy Cheats reward . V. All ●e catchpole Priests be speedy , fo●●ad Times are coming on ; Ty●●rn groans and will be greedy for all you that are not gone . Hast and follow Father Peters , Popery must now go down ; The King no more will trust such Creatures to be plac'd too nigh his Throne . VI. Now the Priests are all Confounded , and their vile Intriegues are crost ; By the Dutch they are surrounded , and penn'd up within our Coast : Many Aching hearts , I fancy , are amongst the todpole Train , If they were got safe beyond-Sea , they 'd ne'er trouble us again .
