Overton, Lilburn, Prince, and Walwyn, Bear-wards.

These to be Coursed Three several times, fairly at the Nose of NOL, the Town BULL; for 3 Crowns.

It is desired that all Gentlemen, Citizens and others that shall come to see this Bull-bayting, come not within the compasse of his Roape for fear of a mischief, for this Beast is so bloody and dangerous; that he hath with his powrfull hornes goared divers to death; therefore if they presume to come within his Reach, (and have a faire warning before hand;) the Bear-wards are blameless.

Vivat Rex.

[3]

A New Bull-Baiting: OR, A Match Play'd at the TOWN-BULL OF ELY.

Enter Noll, drawn to the Stake by the four Bear-wards; his Horns all bloudy, and a Garland on his Head; with Carnation, Scarlet, and other Changable Colours.

Lilburn.

COme along Taurus; Now you shall answer for all your Villanies: Be sure to tye him fast, that he get not loose; for 'tis a dangerous Beast that has goar'd to death the best men in England; nay, in the world. Which Dog has the first Course?

[4]

Overton.

The Man in the Moon's Dogge, they say he is Old, and bites sore.

Prince.

Set him on fair, and let him do his best; Ha---looe, ha---looe Towzer; he has him by the Nose already: Hold thy hold Towzer, hold thy hold Towzer; O brave Towzer, udsfutt, he makes him Roare, and Shite, as if the Devil were in him: So, so, enough; stave him off, stave him off, we shall loose our Bull else.

Walwyn.

Let him alone Brethren; Towzer does bravely; he holds his hold for a Crown; lugge him soundly: he has him down of his knees as if he were begging for his life; O brave Towzer! he shall have a Sea-green Ribband in his eare, and turn Leveller: if Lockier had had but half the Mettel in him, he had been a living man to this day: he holds him still, as if he would make him answer for all his Murders, his Roberies, and Perjuries; how he pawes and dungs, as if he would dis-gorge himselfe of all his Vilanies; and driviling at the mouth, as if he were watering all his Equivocations, Oathes, and Perjuries, through the Arches of his pocky NOSE, with his owne snot, and snivel.

Overton.

No matter; mad him throughly: here's a Nettle to put under his tayle; perhaps it will make him void Gold, for he hath devoured a whole Myne within this 7 yeers, and yet is now in as much want as ever he was; still hungery, though he has fed on the flesh of King and Nobles, and drunk their bloud; has devoured a Crown, a Kingdom, a People, whole Churches, Chansels, Steeples at a morsel; and now would have us pay him Tythes, in stead of the Priests; a pox on him, he is tangl'd in his own roape; 'tis no matter, we must have an end of him, better here then at a worse place.

Lilburn.

Let him have roape enough, and hee'l hang himself, and save the Kingdom a labour.

Overton.

It had been good he had gone to the Butchers so soon as he had been Calv'd, for he has so Bull'd poor England, that she lies calving and labouring in most bitter panges of Calamity and Poverty, whilst he Junkets, Feasts, and Kings it in his Charriot with six Flanders Mares, and ruffl's in Suits of 500 pounds a piece; she languishes and mourns in Sack-cloth, and yet I see [5] no hopes of her recovery; her people denied their just and reasonable Petitions; their Agreement slighted by a bloudy Iuncto; and a Tyranical Councel of Estate erected, more unjust then ever was the Star-chamber; High-commission, or Spanish Inquisition; that knows to do no right, nor will take no wrong; these are all Calves of this Town-Bulls begettting; that by usurping sway to themselves, do what their lust prompts them to, though never so much against Sence and Reason: Now Stave off Towzer, he hath done well for one course; I never saw a Dogge do better: he has brought away a piece of his Nose; well done Towzer; Spit in his mouth, and stroak him on the back.

Lilburn.

What are those that creep with such black heads in his bloud?

Overton.

An Army of Maggots, that took a pocky delight to live in the warmth of his Snowt; and when he breath'd out his Hypocrisies and Blasphemies, then these Cattel went to dinner; Foh, what a breath he has? 'twill infect the whole Kingdome with plagues, and his Nose set fire to it, till it becomes more miserable then Sodome and Gomorah: Cain was the first Gentleman of his Family; Iudas was the second that bore Arms (three Elder-trees, and a Halter;) Corah, Dathan, and Abiram, his Uncles by the Mothers side; Achan his God-father; Absalom his School-master; the two wicked Elders his Tutors; Machiavel his Counsellor; Faux and Fairfaux his Companions in evil: He was begotten by the Spirit in a Brewers Stoke-hole; Conceived by a Witch; brought forth about the time the Globe: was a fire, got the sulphire into his Nose by his inordinate devouring his fathers new Wort, coming to London, got the Naples s??bb, and the looseness of his joynts; having got his Fathers Maide with Child, he was forced to Marry her, which made him bear a deadly hate against the high Commission: he had left him by his Father some 12 Acres of Fee Simple, which formerly belonging to the Crown, made him cast about how he might murder his King; he brewed Smal-beer in the Isle of Ely, till he had six Wenches with Child at one time; from whom he run, because he would break and cozen the Malt-men, who curse him to this day, because by his perfidious dealings, he so broke them, that they were never able to trade in Malt to this very day: [6] His first begotten he put out to live with an Vsurer in Fetter-lane; who keeping him hungry, made him cast about, how he might poyson his Master to rob him of his Money; which he happily effected, and eased the Kingdom of two plagues, an Vsurer, and a Thief: before his Execution he conveyed his Father a considerable Sum of his Masters Money, which he imployed so warily, that he became rich, and was at last chosen for a Parliamentman, in hopes he would have been warn'd by his Sonne to be more honest: no sooner was he in the House of Commons, but he was like Belzebubb amongst the inferior Devils, and sent out his Agents and spies to work mischief; he first got the Earl of Essex to be poysoned, and wone Fairfax to be Head of his Faction, till he had brought his Plots to perfection; he hath taken the Oath of his Allegiance, Supremacy, the Solemn League and Covenant; look'd up to Heaven, call'd God to behold his Hypocrisie, and the Angels to witness his perjury; he hath broken all Oaths himself, and caused others to do the like; he caused the King to be seized on at Holmby, where he made Protestations, That what he did, was for the good of the King and Country; and that he would bring him to Westminster, and Establish him in his Throne in Peace: At Hampton-Court by his Jesuitical policy, he juggled his Majesty into the Isle of Wight, where he hired Rolf to Murder him; which being discovered, and finding his Plot like to faile, and a Treaty to take effect with his Majesty at London, and so his Majesty like to come into other mens power; made him set all his Enginers of mischief a working; took Counsel of lack Bradshaw, as arrant a Villain as himself: one that when he was a boy, run from his Father, and followed a Pedlar to sell Laces and Points, where he learnt to Can't, creep in at windows, and rob Hen-roosts; returning home full fraught with Villany; his father kept him at School, and with a little Scholar-ship and roguery together, thought him a fit instrument to make a knavish Lawyer; and sent him up to Grayes-Inne, where he frequented on Sundayes Hollands Leaguer, and in the week dayes Bloomsbury; would Drum with his fists till he Carrowsed healths on his knees to him he afterwards murdered; biting in too every Class, and flinging it to the Wals; would familiarly let out his Blood to write Love Letters to his Whores; his great Grand-Father [7] lay with his own Daughter, committed Incest, got her with Child, and then with advice of his Wife, poysoned her, and was himself hang'd in Chains on a Heath in Cheshire, and his Wife executed for consenting to the murder: this precious Counsellor was hired and bribed by the Bull of Ely, and brought in to assist them in the Confederacy, Dorrislaw, Aske, and Cook, who were all sworn to secrecy: A Letter is directed from Cromwel to the General, and another to the Iuncto for Iustice on some Capital Offenders; whereof the King must be one; a party sent to seize on him; frustrate the Treaty; and commit his Majesty close Prisoner to Hurst Castle; the Army must advance to London; seized on thirty Members of Parliament at one time, and Secluded a hundred more; set a Guard upon the Juncto; put in, and thrust out whom he list; forced them to sit, vote, make Laws, and give Judgement on whom he list; called a Court of Mock-justice by his own Authority, against the peoples will, or advice: and hired knaves to cry Iustice, justice; directly against the Law of God, and his own former Oathes and Protestations, took off the Kings head, abolished Monarchy, erected a Popular Government of himself, his hired Servants, and combined Creatures; besides the infringment of the Fundamental Law, of the Kingdom, the just Rights of the Crown, and Liberty and Propriety of the Subjects; broken several Orders, Ordinances, Protestations, Covenants, and Oathes which he first thrust upon the prople, and forced them to take; yet afterwards, (as his Designes ripened) not only brook them himself, but compell'd, hired, and corrupted other knaves and Traytors to do the like: and this he hath done in dispight of Gospel or Law, first commanding or causing that to be done, directly forbidden, and not to do that was injoyned and commanded therein; and so having usurped Gods Authority, as well as the Kings, hath establisht a Monstrous Government, without head or tayle; rule or President; law or Reason; and commanded all People under pain of high treason, to acknowledge just, and be subject unto it; abolish the Kingly Office and proclaimed the undoubted Heir to the Crown, (with the Duke of York his Brother) Traytors.

Prince.

This you have said Mr. Overton is true; but your self at first held with his Wayes, and stiled him Faithful Cromwel.

[8]

Overton.

I profess I did; but he has (by swerving from his first principles) deceived me, and thousands more; and therefore Ile have one course more at him hit or miss; A Dogge, a Dogge, a Dogge; a Kingdom for a good Dogge: Hy---day! Whose Crop-ear'd Curr is this? O he was bred up at Lincolns-Inne; I know him of old; they say his teeth be poyson by reason of an Asp, that lies under his tongue.

Lilburn.

No matter, so much the better; let him slip, Ha---looe---Crap; A pox take him for a Curre, he has him by the Genitals; they'l burn his mouth; pull him off by the tayle, and set him on fair; Ha---looe---Crap for a second Course, for thy Master Iack Presbyters credit: Alas poor Crap; he has him on his horns; Save him for pitty: Foh, how he stinks! Oh, he has beshitt my fingers; give me some of his Waste Paper to wipe them; the Popish Royal Favourite will do the deed: Hang him, this is a Cur, and looks like one of Envies whelps; tis pitty to save him; pull off his Coller, and set him going.

Overton.

Let him gore his gutts out; hang him for a Cur; he is not worth the saving.

Prince.

O save him for Mercies sake; Pray Col. Lilburn stave him off for old acquaintance sake, he hath had punishment enough by loosing his Eares, and being marked for a Cur.

Lilburn.

For your sake Ile take him off.

Walwyn.

Try another; this Crap is a Dogge that will bite the hand that feeds him; give him two or three kicks and send him going.

Overton.

Here's another grizly Cur of the same breed; Set him on: This Dogge was ty'de up in the Pulpit in Pauls when the Army came in; he looks as if he were got between a Dog-Fox, and a Spannel Bitch; a Laodicean whelp, neither hote, norcold; he looks as if he were going rather to hanging, then to a Match; sure he hath lost his 400l. per annum: draw him forward; Come along Good-Cole; how he sawns, as if he would suck Eggs; this Tyke, when he perceives you going, will run at you as fierce as if he would eate you: but stand but still, and he Retires back; run from him, and he will follow you, barking, bawling, and snarling, and perchance give you a bite behinde.

[9]

Lilburn.

On with him, let him be what he will; he bawles as if he were wondrous eager.

Overton.

Hang him, hee'l snarle against the Moon, yet keep his bone; they say he will run at Sheep: lets preserve him from hanging, because he will give warning; he first bawld at the Bishops, to set us on.

Prince.

I, that was because they had him up in the bawdy-Court, and put him to his Compurgators.

Walwyn.

He dares not so much as touch the Bulls-tayle; hee's good for nothing; give him a crust, and let him seek a Master; you know not but a mangy Curre may in the end prove a good Dogge.

Lilburn.

Lets set on another, this is a lovely Dogge with a thin pair of Chaps; another of Sir Iohn Presbyters breed, better to hang then to keep; how he drivels out Nonscence and Tautoligies; sure he has wasted his Lungs in consuting a May-pole, and entered into a dispute with the Maid-marrian in a Morrice-dance, about the unlawfulness of that innocent pastime; till the Hobby-horse confuted him with his tayle, and retorted his rebuke with his heels.

Walwyn.

Stroke him and LOVE him; methinks 'twould make a pretty foysting-hound for an Aldenmans daughter; he can turn after his tayle; take a Tythe-pigge by the eare, fawn on any body, and bark when his Masters bids him; stand up on his hind-leggs, or do any thing Sir Iohn Presbyter will have him; he was once in request with the Iuncto, though now he be out of service.

Overton.

Do they not feed him; he must do tricks or something for it; do ye think they'l keep a Dogge and bark themselves? or maintain a Dogge that will bark against themselves? that were the way to make the People mistrust them for Thieves: he was counted a good house. Dogge when he came from Vxbridge, but now he fawns not so much as formerly, that makes him out of request, and miss of their LOVE.

Lilburn.

Try another; if they all prove such Curs, no matter if they were all hangd; they are fitter for a Wood-yard, then a Bear-Garden: Set on Poynze, and see what he will do.

Prince.

He has slipt his Coller, and run away we know not whether.

[10]

Overton.

Bring a Northren Trundle-tayle; Are they of the same mettle?

Lilburn.

All Curs, all Curs; try them on, and if a Dogge fastens, Ile eate him whole; they'l bark and bawle as the other, but will be hang'd before they'l fasten.

Prince.

I have heard that your English Mastiffs have been the best mettle in the World, and would beat all Countries.

Overton.

They are so good mettle, that if it were possible, they would pull God out of heaven, and murder him as they have worried and killed their King, and most of the true hearted Nobility of the Land; they make no more to pull out the throats of their own Dammes, or worry their own Litter, then the Man in the Moon's Dogge does to snap a Rebel by the shins, or to lap Milk when he is a hungry; they can find none else to fight with that can master them, and that makes them to kill and devour one another.

Lilburn.

These Curs are not of the right breed then.

Overton.

No, hang them, these are but Mungerills that bawle to set on the rest to sight, and that's all they can do; bark for the Cause; the blessed work of Reformation; the godly Army, the self-denying Army; the holy Army; and pronounce Damnation on them that did not come out, and fight for the Cause of the Lawrd, though it was but to kill and rob one another; and this was all the Cause, and blessed reformation, that the Cornelian Cathedral-Keeper prayed might be carried on in their Iunctoes hands so long as the Sun and Moon endured.

Lilburn.

A good Prayer Ile promise you, and deserves a 500 pounds per annum, and some three or four hundred Acres of Deanes and Chapters Lands besides: But did they not reward him?

Overton.

Yes, with 400 pounds per annum, and the Dean of Pauls his house, besides the stones that he plundered out of the Walks, enough to build himself a Pallace.

Prince.

No marvel, that the people be so foolish as to bite one another (when such bawling Curs set them on) but I hope now they will learn the wisdom to agree together, fear God, and love their Prince; and for these Changelings, hang them up, that England may no more be called, The Kingdom of blind men, because [11] they cannot discern a Head from a Nose: but now I talk of Noses, our Bull expects another Dogge.

Lilburn.

Put on another; let loose all the Scotch-breed on him at once.

Overton.

He has so toss'd them lately, that they dare not come neer him; yet wee'l try them, Ha---loo---Trundletayles; I tould you so; not a Dogge will fasten, only Archy has him by the Tayle; Has kick'd out his teeth; how he howles, as if he mourn'd for the breach of their Covenant, or to call in his dear Brethren for the rest of our Guds; sure they have nere another King to sell, have they?

Lilburn.

No, he is too wise for them, and will keep out of their Market-place; trust a Scot, and trust the Devil; they were perfidious from the beginning; it would not ask much labour to prove Noll a right Scot, that the like Camelian can change his hew to what colour and shape he list: in the Parliament-House he is a fawning Spannel; in the Church, the picture of a Saint; In Counsel, a deep dissembling Hypocrite; in the Field, a Caine; in the Court, a Iudas; as barren of all charity, as hell is of honesty; as malitious as mischief can make him; his eares bigger then Midas; a double face like Ianus, one looking to the people, the other after his own gain and profit, picking the peoples purses, whilst he stares them in the faces: What is become think you of all the Contributions, Subsidies, Twentieth-Parts, Leans, Meale-money, Excise, Bishops-Lands, ??eans and Chapters-Lands, Composition-Monies, Sequestrations, and now the Kings Navy, Customs and Revenues, Honors, Manners, Castles, Houses, Messuages, Parks, Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, Royalties, Priviledges, Franchises, and Immunities belonging to the late King, the Dutchy of Lancaster, all the Goods and Land belonging to the Queen, the Prince, and Duke of York, the Dukedom of Cornwal, or Earldom of Chester; besides what they have retained to themselves, and yet not half enough; a hundred thousand pound sent for more in his late Letter from Bristol and the Continuation of the Assessement of 90000 pounds per mensem, notwithstanding Excise, and all this before mentioned; ??ure this Bull has a better stomack then Bell and the Dragon, to devour all this, and yet be hungry: Set on all the Irish Pack on him at once; if they will not do it, [12] wee'l knock him down with our Clubbs, Pronge, and Staves.

Overton.

Sir William and Brown have fairly lost; Jockey is Bull'd with an Urchin; the Irish will be the death of them; Ormond and Inchiquin have Dundalk and Dublin already, which makes him paw with his Cloven-hoffe, as if he intended to fill the Boggs up with Gravil; 40000 Irish are in a readiness to wait his landing; he flyes to the Welch mountaines, and wishes them to fall on him, to bury his Infamy.

Prince.

This is the last Course shall speed him; Ha---looe Towzer; he Noses again; they have him with his heels upwards; his Puddings come forth; send for a Scrivener presently to make his Will; in manner and form following;

His last Will and Testament.

In the Name of Pluto, Amen.

I give my Horns to the Councel of State, to preserve them from their Enemies, which are likely to be many; provided that they Goare with them to death Charles the Second, and his Brother the Duke of York: And likewise, that they may be added to the Arms of the Common-wealth; and quartered in the new Coyne, or fairly placed on the top of their new Mace.

I give my Eares to all the Brethren of the Separation, that they may hear of nothing but what is for the benefit of themselves and Faction: Provided, That they may be stop'd against all the just Complaints, and Grievances of the People.

I give my Eyes to the New Keepers of the peoples Liberties, that with them they may see to receive their Money; as Taxes, Excize, &c. and fore-see to prevent what their own perfidiousness is bringing upon them; and that they may see to suppress all Tumults, Insurrections, and Risings of the People, that they may no more be like the blind leading the blind, tell they all tumble in the ditch.

I give my NOSE, that it may be a Light to the Councel of State, and the Iuncto, that they may hold it up in the Winde to smell out all Plots and Conspiracies that shall be hatch'd or contriv'd against the present Government.

I give my Tongue to all Detractors and Parasites in the Supreame Authority, to bewitch the poor people withal; and perswade them to their Ruine; but especially, to Iohn Bradshaw Esquire, Rogue President of the Councel of State, that with it he may pronounce Sentence on any that shall be more honest, more wise, or richer then himself, that so there may be store of new Delinquents; and by that means, more Lands and Monies fall to the use of the State: provided, that before his death, he blaspheme God, as he hath pronounced Death to his King; and that it may answer in part for the same here, by rotting out of his mouth; and hereafter be dried in Dives Chimney, till it alwayes plead, and be denied the least drop to cool it.

I give my Midriffe to make my Lord Mayor of London a Ruffe to wear to the Spittle.

I give my Teeth to the devouring Catterpillors of the Common-Wealth, viz. Committees, Sequestrators, and Excize-men; that as they have begun, they may make a quick dispatch, till they have devoured us; because the expectation of evil, is in many, more then the evil it self.

I give my Neck to all Citizens & Merchants to seed their Servants withal.

His EPITAPH.

HEre lies (the Devil take his Soul)
One, for whom no Bell would towl:
He liv'd a Murderer, dy'd a Knave;
Deserv'd a Halter, not a Grave.
Some call'd him Noll, some the Town-bull,
Or Iron-sides, that the Land fill'd full Of Athiests, Shismaitcks, and Hereticks,
That Ruin'd Kingdoms; undid Bishopricks,
Despis'd his God, kill'd his King, broke th' Laws,
Eate up our labours with devouring jawes;
Cozen'd the People, spoyl'd all the Land;
Had Lives and Goods at his Command.
You that Make water, pray now stay,
Piss on his Grave, and go away.
That they that purge, may for his grace
Un-truss, and S--- upon his face.

FINIS.
