A NEW SONG.
Or, Englands Outcry against the late
Lord Chancellour Jefferies.
To a pleasant new Tune.

YOu Protestants all draw near to this place,
And some of the Roguries I will rehearse
Of Jeffery George who was once the Recorder
Has put the whole Nation into a disorder;
For which Villains part,
I think in my heart,
He ought to be tide to the tale of a Cart,
And for to be Whipt without any delay,
From New-Gate to Tyburn, along the High-way.

Since Whipping's made Law by the Baron of Wem,
The Bread that he broke shou'd be broken agen,
For Johnson and Oats, he whipp'd without cause;
He ought to be punnish'd for breaking our Laws,
And advancing the Pope,
For which I do hope
His Honor at Tyburn will peep through a Rope,
Which is his desert and th' Effects of his Dream,
For driving like Jehu along with the Stream.

Remember the Bishops, your Pride and Ambition,
How you from the Crown obtain'd a Commission
To Try all the Clergy that preacht against Rome;
'Twas the Pride of your Heart that made you presume
To be such a thing
Cajoal'd by the King,
You've made the whole Land of your Roguries ring,
You seized our Charters and struck at the Test,
Remember you hang'd up the Men in the West.

But now you'r in Limbo with your Goggle Eyes,
For giving false Judgment and telling of Lyes.
In the Equitty-Court you will no more Bawl,
Now all your Upholders are gone from Whitehall,
And left you behind,
Which is very unkind;
But Oh by me Shoul 'tis a Protestant Wind
That brought the Prince in, and blow'd Popery out,
And you'll be advanc'd at Tyburn no doubt.


FINIS.
