STATE CASES PUT TO Iack Presbyter.

JAck if you have one Grain of Sence, That's free from pride and Impudence, Say something in your own Defence. But Lye not. VVhy dost thou make our Blood recoil, VVith noise of Plots and Popish Guile, VVhile you're the Traytor all the while. And Bygot? VVhy dost thou brood upon the Plot, To hatch the Mischiefs Room cou'd not, And play th'old Game? but we have caught Ye Napping. VVhy did the little Dorset Eel, To make the Brain sick Crowd Rebel, Sad storys in the City tell, And Wapping? What did the western progress mean, When a fine Duke did march between, L. Gray and Tommy to be seen. Oth' Women?

How Country Protestants did run, To Gaze upon a Royall Son God bless him or wee're quite undone For Freemen. What meant Ben: Harri's Appeal So full of Loyalty and Zeal, VVas it not written for to heal Our Breaches? VVhy did the Commons house Address And move the King that hee'd Release The Villain from the Marshalseas: And Gratis? And prethe Jack did'st never hear The famous Speech of Noble Peer Stuft with true protestants, and bare Fac'd Treason? VVhy were so many Thousands Spread That every post Town packets had, VVithout one penny for 'em paid, Th' Reason? Why did the perjur'd Jury Save The little Elephantine Knave, And on the Bills back side Engrave, Ignoramus? Jurys are now a Town Tropan, A Tory Trap they know their Man This Jack we plainly say, nor can You Blame us.

Why did you stickle Tooth and Nayl The penall Statutes to repeal When you your selves wou'd never deal Such Measure? But did inhumanly impose On all you Judg'd Dissenting Foes, Heavy Mulcts and heavier Blows, At Pleasure. Why did the Knights and Burgers Vote No Man shou'd lend the King a Groat Tho' good Security were brought And Royal? But oh! that Brittain's Majesty Is never to be trusted, why, Confounded Jack, was that said? I Defyall. VVhy do you suffer Janeway And Curtis factious Lyes to say And Hireling Care the Devills Ama— Nuensis. VVhy doth the Packet of Advice And protestant true Mercuries Scare Folks with weekly Forgeries To Frenzies? And yet you Easily can spy In Rogers works state Heresy And Popery and all in He— Raclitus

Jack if you will these Scruples weigh, And any thing in answer say, To Query once again it may Invite us
