THE PASTORAL LETTER REBURNT BY A POETICAL FLAMBEAU . ●HY Pen so paints thy self , that justly we View Burnet burning in Effigie ; ●●ose Pastoral Letter into Fire was doom'd , 〈◊〉 Spiritual Witch-craft , as by most presum'd : 〈…〉 doubtless 't is , in sence of Hell , some merit , 〈…〉 be of Pluto's Hierarchy in Spirit . 〈…〉 o hast made Evil so refin'dly vile , 〈…〉 in thy Mother-tongue and English Stile , 〈…〉 ou for greedy Scotland didst devise 〈…〉 there Presbytery should leanly rise , 〈◊〉 the Mitres had been melted down , ●●rease the income of thy William's Crown : 〈◊〉 for thy profit couldst that Text forego , 〈◊〉 thou do'st Sarum's Mag-pye Prelate show . 〈◊〉 Sleeves of Lawn , the Badge of such a Wretch , 〈◊〉 yield , in time , a Relick for Jack-ketch . 〈◊〉 't will be hard for thee , as many think , 〈◊〉 'scape in Body , since thy Soul in lnk 〈…〉 s been his Handsel , and most Men agree 〈…〉 at thy black inside in thy Lines they see . 〈…〉 ough impious Roman power had so prevail'd , 〈…〉 t Tully's hand was to the Rostrum nail'd ; ●hich held the admir'd Pen that gave to Fame ●●e Flow'r of Eloquence living in his Name . Thou , by a different fate , wouldst Eyes delight , If fix'd thy Wicked Hand , which did indite Sermons and Pamphets , to thy Sarum Chair , That future Bishops might abhor thee there . Had now Pythagoras liv'd , he would have said , Hugh Peter's Soul had Transmigration made Into thy Bulk , and not more damn'd could be , Than as , In Spirit , he survives in thee . From a Fanatick Scot , transform'd of late To an immoral Pagan of our State ; Thou do'st as Antichristianly possess Thy See , as Tillotson does his , some guess . But thanks to Heaven , the House's prudent Vote Does thee a Canting Prelate so denote , That in thy condemmed Pastoral Letter 's fate , Thee and thy mischiefs all must Abdicate . Whilst like some Witch , when lost her former spell , Thou griev'st for want of Magick to do ill : And though in Soul of everlasting Evil , Thou 'lt now , do what thou canst , live less a Devil . FINIS .
