Swearing and Lying . OR AN ANSWER TO THE SWEARING PAMPHLET . THat you do fear an Oath I dare not swear , Especially , if it the cause advance , And yet I dare swear that one Oath you fear , And that the Oath is of Allegiance . To God yet you will swear , and to your King , Provided that the Oath be mystical : You promise , and you must performe the thing , Though with the Forty , 't is to kill Saint Paul . You are , you say , no Quaker to protest Against all Swearing ; that indeed I grant : But if with Rome , you swore not East and West , How a pox gulpt ye down that Covenant ? But what an alteration here is made ? What subjects on a sudden ye commence ? Maintain the Crown , and yet the Church invade ; Come ye'l yield all things , but Obedience . But if that great King Conscience sayes not nay , You to the Kings Commands will freely yield : But is not this that Conscience Sir I pray , That has our Land with Blood and Rapine fill'd ? What splay-mouth'd wish is this ? let all agree When you the Concord crumble into parts : But Knaves of Clubs maugre your Villany , His Majesty shall still be King of Hearts . You swear forfooth you will the Crown defend , And all the dignity of the Royal Oak : But here the thief usurps the name of Friend , The Kirk the lvie is of which you spoke . With the Apochrypha you cannot bear , And your Devotion stumbles at this logg : And what 's the reason ? 't is because ye are Like Tobit blind , and madder then his Dog . But we are got to my Lord Bishop now , Whose Government you dare not say is right Sir : But shall I tell ye why your teeth ye show , Jack has a peack at Aaron for his Myter . I 'le swear and venture all that I am worth , That Bishops last as long as King and Queen . You have already as the Act holds forth , Like baffled Henderson your Doomsday seen That Peter was a Prelate I 'le maintain , But that he preacht so ost I doubt it greatly . But by your leave , what Peters do you mean ; Peters that preacht at Charing-Cross so lately ? Peter a Fisher was , and so are they , Would you be caught you might Salvation get : Their Sacred Nets they cast out day by day , But it seems all 's not Fish that comes to th' Net . As for the Court , that Court Ecclesziastick As it is just , it merciful appears ; To wave all others , let me instance Bastwick Whose Head being forfeit could compound for 's Ears . Archdeacons , Deans and Chapters , are the Men Have honour , and your envy would implead it : Turn over therefore , pray , your book agen , 'T is a hard Chapter , and you cannot read it . Spirit'al Madam ? pray what Madam's that ? Heraulds would swear you here false Doctrine teach . You refuse Bishopricks ? away , ye prate ; But Foxes scorn the Grapes they cannot reach . For holy Vestments Holland's sit , and Lawn , But as for naisty Scotch Cloath we 'l have none ; And if the Kirkists wo'nt to this be drawn Then give 'em Hemp as long as 't will hang on . That Paul because here 's mention of a Cloak , A Presbyterian was I cannot swear ; But this upon my Oath may well be spoke , All he converted were by Common Prayer . You owe Allegiance to the King , God save him , ( But on condition Bishops may go down ) But if he will not do as you would have him , You neither value Myter , nor yet Crown . And yet you seem to like of Myter'd men ; O Conscience see what Interest can do ! For if instead of one we should have ten , 'T is ten to one , but one might fall to you . In fine you must not sever Church and State ; If you not both obey , you both provoke : But if you will not ? Porter ope the Gate , And farewel Presbyter , farewel long Cloak .
