depiction of a man on a mountainside.
An Emblem of this Age , 'fore all is set , To shew the thing that is not ended yet : Smile not thereon , for sure it is a sad one ; For good men to be cheated by Abaddon ,
The Relation . THere was a plain , just , down right man indeed , Armed for Truths defence in time of need ; His foes he conquerd ' , thought the storm was o're , Vnarm'd himselfe of weapons which he wore . Then on a sudden comes the Dragon fierce , With open mouth , and arrow●d tongue to pierce , The Leopard 'gainst the Lamb appear'd most cruell : Venemous Serpent acts his part in Duell . The Hart did start , the Lamb did stand in feare , When wilde beasts came with open mouthes to teare , When Reason saw it , he was at a stand , And went to take what was at his left hand .
The Description . And what is by this EMBLEM represented ? The STATE ( by PLOTS of Papists ) circumvented Shall I demonstrate still , to make you know , That these ( PPP ) are Papists all arow . The Dragons He●d , the POPE doth represent , His sharp tongu'd shaft , Curses which he doth vent , His Teeth are ENVY , and his Horns are Power , The Dragons Body , is Romes Church , that whore . The Spotted Leopard also hath his Doom , This body pleads for Prelats Brats of Rome . His Iawes are Malice , Head EPISCOPALL . A gaping Mouth , Teeth , Pawes , tyrannicall . The Crooked Serpent creeps upon the Earth . An Antichristian Pre●byter by birth , His Head 's from Rome , his Taile and Body so . With them to Aye-Perdition he shall go .
But all the choycest Friends to Parliament , That joyn with one Unanimous Consent , A blessing may expect on their Designes : Where Wisdom guarded with an Army , shines .
