I. BEhold in this Age the loose and perfidious are seeming Religious : They swear to engage The Truth to defend : while they thrive and groich , they will go thorough-stitch , Like right honest Men : yet touch but their Mammon , yet touch but their Mammon , And where are they then ? II. If the Army this day , the noble Commanders , and Hero's of Flanders , Wou'd fight without Pay , And venture their Lives : if the King cou'd do all without Taxes at all , 'T is like they would own , he was the best Monarch , he was the best Monarch , As ever was known . III. The King they love well , and likewise the Nation , without disputation , Our Foes they 'd expell At home and abroad ; nay the Troops they 'd enlarge , cou'd it be without Charge , For a Cause so divine : but tell them of Taxes , but tell them , &c. And then they repine . IV. Nay Presbyter Jack , that zealous Professor , and loyal Addressor , He 'll stand to his Tack , As tite as a Drum : but at length he grows cold , when he parts with his Gold , From him and his Heirs , the which he admires the which he admires Much more than his Prayers . V. Religion 's the Cry , yet there are not many that ever had any I tell you ; for why There 's little they mind , but to rant , roar and sing , and cry , God save the King . Then off with their Drink , is this true Religion ? is this true Religion ? Sirs , What do you think ? VI. One swears by his Soul , that he 's no Philistine , but 'Zounds a good Christian ; Then takes off his Bowl , And swears like a Lord , that he loves the old way , for to read as they pray : 'T is ease for the Brain , and when it is ended , and when , &c. To drinking again . VII . Now therefore between the huffing young Hector , and Jack the Projector , In this present Scene , Religion is tost like a Foot-ball about , there 's not many devout , We find to our Cost ; which makes us imagine , which makes , &c. That Honesty 's lost . VIII . Le ts pray for the King , let Blessings attend him , and Heaven defend him , That under his Wing We see happy days ; when the Storm is blown o'er , we shall flourish once more , In spight of our Foes , let Angels still guard him , let Angels still guard him , Where-ever he goes .
