Oates Exalted above his Brethern.
WHO
Received Sentence at the Kings-Bench-Bar, at Westminster the 16th day of May, 1685.
|
August the
|
9th. to stand in
|
the Pillory at
|
Westminster.
|
August the
|
10th. at Cha-
|
ring-Cross.
|
August the
|
11th at Temple
|
Bar.
|
Septem. the
|
2d. at the Roy-

|
April the 24
|
1686. to stand
|
in the Pillory
|
facing the Gal-
|
lows.
|
To lie in Gaol
|
during Life.
|
And to stand
|
Anually in the
|
Pillory.
|
AS Bully doth Lament when Cully Dy's,
|
And the poor Bum for Follower rubs his Eyes,
|
So the Distressed Brethren of the Nation
|
Weep, Mourn and Sob, with sorest Lamentation,
|
To see their Quondam Saint, this Idol Thing
|
Thus unto Justice made an Offering:
|
The Doctor's gone, the Traytor still is here,
|
Insect of Hell, a Forsworn Murderer:
|
Oh! Blessed Sight! how we our selves should Bless
|
If that he now was Cloak'd, the only Dress
|
That is a Scandal unto Holiness.
|
Draw near ye Blood-Hounds, you that fain would bring
|
States to Confusion, Ruine to a King;
|
Draw near, and the great Swearing Master see
|
With Zeal profound advance the Pillory,
|
To which his Fathers Copy made him Free:
|
For since he was Ambitious, he should have
|
The Pillory conferred as a Grave.
|
See how he stands, tho Infamous and Base,
|
And Damn's all those that do not give him Place,
|
True Swearers glory in a Brazon Face.
|
Approach, Approach ye Blessed Sons of Hell,
|
That only do in Villanies Excell
|
To the Black Book, whether he will or not
|
You see he's come, and must abide his Lot:
|
His shameless Actions now might Shame the Devil,
|
That Scorns not to be thought the sum of Evil:
|
He was resolv'd to seek out nothing less
|
Than th' very Quintiscence of Wickedness.
|
Hence then Geneva Trash, you'r out of Date,
|
When Loyalty appears, you Dissipate:
|
Shine on ye Loyal Souls, and let these see
|
Maugre their Hellish Arts and Treachery,
|
That you shall Shine thus to Eternity.
|
But if this Imp of Hell shall come t' Expire,
|
Impenitent, how will the Damn'd Admire
|
The Flames that he will add unto their Fire!
|
Thus the Reward of Faction here will be
|
Shame, or to Dangle on the Fatal Tree,
|
Hereafter Horrour, Pain, and Misery,
|
|
|
|
