THE EXECUTION OF THE COVENANT , Burnt by the Common-Hang-man EDW. DVN , Presbyter , May 22. 1661. Published for the Use of Dr. B. and Mr. Notcrof , and the rest of the Rigid Presbyterians . THe News I pray ! What doth this Throng infer ? Do ye not know ? DVN is turn'd PRESBYTER . Well then ! I see the Brethren in spite Of BISHOPS , have obtained a PROSELITE ; One that will soon be on the Rigid Score , And be a Cause of turning many more . Make him an ELDER then ! Indeed ye shall : For he is one , that may Advance you all . That he is now a BROTHER , you must grant , For I did see him take the COVENANT . Take it indeed ; yet you must understand , 'T was but to give 't the Honour of his Hand . But to be bold , and come a little nigher , He took it , true , but threw it in the Fire . In which he shew'd himself a CHRISTIAN right , To let the Works of Darkness come to light . Bark then PHANATICKS , who like Demopbon , Glow in the shade , and Freeze still in the SUN . Howle Millenaries , Independents too , And Anabaptists , that Heretick Crew Of Presbyterian By-blowes ; If these Flashes Be Sacred to you , Come and Urn the Ashes : For we esteem the Reliques of these Sheets Too dirty and debaucht to pave our Streets . This Mouth-Granado , from that Scotch-witch came To set three Glorious Kingdomes in a flame . A Covenant ? No , 't was a Conspiracy , Plotted by Brethren in Iniquity . Bold Assassin's that durst attempt all ill , And Holocaust whole Kingdomes to Self-will . Mend , mend , for shame , your Brother else will look , To hang the Authours , as he burn't the Book . But he presumes , or hopes , y' 'l rather turn , Than follow your black Juncto to the Urn. While I thus thinking am , who would desire , ( Were it to Roast a RUMP ) a fitter fire ? In which it now hath pleas'd the Fates to grant , The Dissolution of the — — COVENANT .
