of the Saints? and is there no redresse? Venus defend us.
What's become of all my brave Virago's, the Ladyeserrants
of the Seagreen Order, devoted vestals to the new
erected Alcaron, so lately fluttering like flocks of wilde Geets,
about the Parliaments eares, for the liberty of their Champian
Jack and his confederates; why doe ye not againe muster up
your Pettycoates and white Apporns, and like gallant Lacedemonians,
or bold Amazons advance your Banners once more in
the Pallace yard, and spit defiance in the teeth of Authority;
tell the Parliament that it is liberty they fought for, liberty
you come for, liberty you long for, and without liberty the
spirituall burdens of your bellyes are quite lost that your humble
spirits will never submit to their proud flesh untill they
untrust the great Cod peece-point of Government, (which
makes the egges of your eyes turne adle at the fight thereof)
and shew you the naked truth, as to the common freedome
now to be expected; tell them that they have had a pretty time
on't and licked their fingers long enough, and now 'tis high
time that Cate of the kitchin, and Tyme the the turnspit should
rule the rost, and tell them that you are now growne as skilfull
in State Cookery as themselves, having these seven yeares exercised
your gifts and rare endowment in making plumb pudings
and Sugger-sops for the Saints; tell them that if
they raigne as Kings, it is no more then reason and joynt interest,
in nature that you should raigne as Queenes too; else let
them know, that though now fortune lookes a squint upon
you, having lost active members as Thompson in a wood, Church
in the Church yard, &C and that turn coat Den in a kinde of
a misty recantation; yet this is but like water cast upon the
fire, to make your free-borne spirit flame into higher resolutions,
that if Cain the Cavalier be avenged seven times Lamech the
Leveller shall be avended 70 times 7 times; and if these charmes
should not prove prevalent, yet there is exorisme in your eyes,
and black-patched faces( brighter then the brothers swords)
of sufficient power, to make the proudest States-man lower,
his top-gallant to your Saint-ships; up therefore and be doing,
because your Worthies have gotten bloody Noses, and their Arreares
paid them in cracked Crownes, let not this dull the edge
of your gallantry. but rather sparky you into that sweet-lip'd fellowship
