A Copy of Verses delivered to a Minister of the Church of England, whilst he was Offi­ciating the Divine Service of Thanksgi­ving, Appointed by His Majesty, Septem­ber the 9th. 1683.

YOU Hypocrites leave off your Pranks,
To Murther Men, and then give Thanks,
Forbear your Tricks, pursue no further;
For God accepts no Thanks for Murther.

An Answer written on Sight, by a Loyal Hand.

YOU damn'd Phanatiques, leave off your Cants;
You ne're shall pass for Protestants.
Though CHARLES the Father you did Murther,
Forbear the Son, and Plot no further.
Leave off your Damn'd Associations,
Your Solemn Leagues and Protestations:
So long as God your Tricks defeat,
Our Daily Thanks We Will Repeat.

LONDON, Printed by J. Redmayne, for William Battersby at Thavies Inn Gate in Holborn. 1683.
