The Tyrannical Usurpation OF THE INDEPENDENT CLOAK OVER THE EPISCOPAL GOWN . By A.C. & P.C. COme buy my new Ballad , I hav 't in my Wallet , But it will not I fear me please every Pallar ; Then mark what ensueth , I swear by my youth That every Line in my Ballad is truth , A Ballad of wit , and a Ballad of worth , It is newly Printed , and newly come forth ; 't was made of a Cloak that fell out with a Gown , That crampt all the Kingdom , and crippl'd the Crown . I le tell you in brief A story of grief , That hapned when Cloak was Commander in Chief : It tore Common Prayers , Imprison'd Lord Mayors , In one day it voted down Prelates and Playes , It made people perjur'd in point of Obedience , The Covenant outed the Oath of Allegiance . Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down , That crampt all the Kingdom , and crippl'd the Crown . It was a Black Cloak , In good time bee 't spoke , That kill'd many thousands , but never struck stroak , With Hatchet and Rope , The Forlorn Hope Did joyn with the Devil to pull down the Pope . It set all the Sects in the City to work , And rather then fail , 't would have brought in the Turk . Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down , That crampt all the Kingdom , and crippl'd the Crown . It seiz'd on the Tower-Guns , Those fierce Demigorgons , It brought in Bagpipes , and pull'd down the Organs . The Pulpits did smoak , The Churches did Choak : And all our Religion was turned to Cloak : It brought in Lay-Elders could not write nor read ; If set Publick Faith up , and pull'd down the Creed . Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down , That crampt all the Kingdom , and crippl'd the Crown . The pious Impostor Such Fury did foster , It left us no Peny , nor no Pater noster . It threw to the ground Ten Commandments down , And set up twice twenty times ten of his own . He Routed the King , and the Kings servants Menial , And set up a power of Traytors Triennial . Then let us endeavour to throw the Cloak down , That cox'd all the Kingdom , and cozen'd the Crown . To blind peoples eyes , This Cloak was so wise , It took down Ship-money , and set up Excise . Men brought in their Plate , For Reasons of State , And gave to Tom Trumpeter and his Mate : In Pamphlets it writ many specious Epistles , To cozen poor Wenches of Bodkins and Whistles . Then let us endeavour to pull this Cloak down , That cheated the Kingdom , and crippl'd the Crown . In Pulpits it moved , And was much approved , For crying , Fight out the Lords Battles Beloved . It Bobtail'd the Crown , Put Prelacy down . It trode on the Miter to reach at the Crown ; And into the Field it an Army did bring , To aime at the Council , and shoot at the King . Then let us endeavour to pull this Cloak down , That cheated the Kingdom , and crippl'd the Crown . It raised up States ; Whose politick Pates Do now keep their Quarters on our City Gates . To Father and Mother , To Sister and Brother , It gave out Commission to kill one another . They took up mens Horses at very low Rates , And plundred our Goods to secure our Estates . Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down , That crampt all the Kingdom , and catcht at the Crown . This Cloak did proceed To a damnable Deed , And made the best Mirrour of Majesty bleed . Though he did not doo 't , He set it on foot , In Raising and Calling his Journey men to 't . For never had come such a Bloudy Disaster , If Cloak had not first drawn a Sword on his Master . Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down , That crampt all the Kingdom , and catcht as the Crown . Though some of them went home By sorrowful sentence , This Lofty Long Cloak is not mov'd to Repentance : But he and his men Twenty thousand times ten Are Plotting to do their Tricks over again . But let this proud Cloak to Authority stoop , Or Dun will provide him a Button and Loop . For we will endeavour to pull this Cloak down , That lately did sever the Head from the Crown .
