| Notes | Printed on the verso of EBBA 30706, entitled "Protestant Unity, / The best Policy to defeat Popery, and all its Bloody Practices. / OR, / Englands Happiness under such a Blessing. / A Pleasant New SONG. / Would England ever blest and happy be, / It must be done by perfect Unity, / Let Protestants in all things then agree. / Then Rome shall fall like Lightning from the Sky, / And all her plots shall soon Expire and Dye, / Whilst we do prosper, and her Rage defie." |
