BLACKE TOM , his Speech to the House , after the delivery of the City by a cowardly Southwarition crew . GOe on , brave Gallants , pray goe on , Seeme to consult for peace , But if you love your selves and me , My Army don't release . What though I doe pretend to bring The King into his Throne , Feare not I may do what I please , Militia that 's our own ? By crying up his Majesty The peoples hearts I gaine , What thinke you ? that 's the only way If ere we meane to raigne . Their twenty hundred thousand pound My souldiers for to pay , Which when they have they 'l doe their best These warres for to delay ▪ Wee 'll tell them that the Citizens Poore CHARLES doe much despise , And should we state him in his throne , They suddenly would rise . When twenty hundred thousand pounds Againe to them is due , Wee ll stop their mouthes with flattering words , Which shall be for me and you . Then I brave Southwarke will requite , My promise to effect , Of all the Independents they A Major shall elect . Besides this , they shall suddenly A Corporation have , For that brave entertaynment which They to my souldiers gave . Thus having them now on our sides Wee ll make an insurrection Of all that Presbyterian crew . Not one shall finde protection ▪ But when that Independency By us shall be promoted There is no need of Monarchy Its downefall shall be Voted . Wee l then poore CHARLES send into France With his wife to abide , He absent , betwixt me and you The Kingdome wee 'l divide . T' will be a conquest certainly If ere a conquest were , Wee 'l rule in triumph and will cause All others us to feare . But as for English men who then Shall Independents be , Troubled by none they shall enjoy Their conscience Liberty . Then shall proud Massie stampe and stare , And Poyntz shall franticke be . Then will the Major of London flee , And all for feare of me . Then Peters shall a Bishop be , And Goodwin shall be Voted The chiefest man in England while King Thomas is promoted . Then downe shall goe the Steeple houses , That freeze in Winter night , And wee ll have Chimneyes in the Church Which people more delight . Wee ll Vote the Assembly null , and put Downe Cranford with his grace , Wee ll race out Calamy , and set Up Patience in his place . Wee ll banish Case with all his host , His converts shall returne Unto our Independency , Or else wee l make them burne . Then you and I shall live at ease , And thinke that naught 's a sin , Unlesse we doe in English coast Let Monarchy creepe in . If you desire that this my plot May have effect still still , Take dayly care that peoples hearts With thoughts of peace to fill . FINIS . 7ber 16. 1647
