THE HUMBLE PETITIONS OF HIS MAJESTIES Truly Loyal PROTESTANT Subjects , by some called PRESBYTERIANS , for a blessed Reformation . May it please your Majesty , WOULD you but banish all your friends , And let our Petitioners have their Ends — Call 'em good Subjects and make 'em amends ; This is the time . Would you your power of Pardon lose , And give us leave to call all those ( You know your friends ) the Kingdomes Foes ; This &c. Would your Majesty please to prefer all those Who to a Subsidy Bill Hollow out ( Noes ) . So by making one friend to assure you ten Foes ; This &c. Would you lets have the Souldiery at our Command , Disinherit your Brother out of hand , And so intail a War upon the Land ; This &c. Would you give M. leave to undo Himself and all the Nation too ; And him that opposes it think your Foe ; This &c. Would your Majesty please to stile all those Papists , That are not either rank Presbyterians or Atheists , And ne're think of th' mistake till it too late is ; This &c. Would you the Lord President disgrace , And let s call him Papist to his face , And put our friend Harris in L'Estranges place ; This , &c. Would you hang Scroggs , 't is no matter for reason , And all those that won't be perjur'd in season — And give us a Patent for talking of Treason ; This &c. Would your Majesty let us invent and disclose Grand frailties in you which no body knows And let ours be wink 't at , though much greater than those ; This &c. Would you lets into the Prerogative search , Let s murder the Bishops and Plunder the Church , Lead the Lords by the Nose , and then leave 'em in the Lurch ; This &c. Would you let us the good Old Cause renew . Tax evil Counsellors and Tacitly you First Straffordize Lauderdale , and next your self too ; This is the time . And your Petitioners shall ever pray , &c.
