THE WELCHMENS RESOLUTION.

SInce her toe understand, tat te enemy toe ap­proach and treaten not only to cut her troat cowartly, put also to hinter te procetings of te Pritish Parliament, her tink it high time to look apout her. And tough her coms as fierce as a creat Lyon to her, and look as high as Pawls; yet if her Welch Plood pe once up, by Cods plutter a Nailes her will overlook her foe, like her Welch Mountains, and squeze her proud enemie in te name of Saint Taffey.

Werefore since it vas ever regorded, and kanown, tat her Countrymen in aul her perecri­nations and ampulations, vas alwaies magnani­mous and couragious, and would never kill her ene­my, before her had calenged her, and given her no­tice tereof, and so by consekence her became al­ways valiantly victorious, her toe terefore make kanown her Resolution to te hole Urld.

Tat wereas diverse strange, and underfull Plots have been couspired against te State, her will ven­ter every trop of ploud her hath in her pody to find out tose plotters, and by Cod if her find her, her vill cut her in pieces like cause bobby, and make her a preakfast to te Crowes.

Tat her toe protest her love to her King from her hart, and vill kill all tose, tat are enemies to his Majesty, yet her is vise enough to make no Pro­testation tereof, and be voted a Traytor. Her vas wit enough ile warrant her.

Tat tough her vas love her King, yet her could never apide te malignant party. Put py Saint Taffey her could never know, wat tis malignant party vas: her tink it is a Welch English prayse, for her could never understand it in her life. Put because every pody speak of te malignant party, her must speak too for company sake someting, terfore her wish, tat all factious Round-heads, and te malignant party were hanged both togeter on a Welch Gibbot, tat her King may be troubled no longer with tem; oterwise her vill take some speedy course with tem both.

Her is resolved to tickle to Irish Rogues, and if her continue in Repellion, till her run home and fet her Pill, and her Welch hooke, her vill make all her pones in her pody to quake, like a quotidi­an Ague, and if her toe not gape to her for mercy as wide as a Pillinf [...]ate Oyster-wifes mouth, by Cot her vlll squize te Rebellious Rogues to some purpose, unlesse tey fly like Finches, and run away [Page 3]like a Young Suckling, py Cod her will follow her with a huntret Horse: and if her leave any good Actions behind tem (wich I am confident vill be very few) ten her vill send tem to te Red-Pull, and te Fortune, pecause tey want good Acti­on. Tat her will fortifie her selfe against te long-feared Insurrection in Monmouth, for tere [...]re a multitude of Papists in tat Shire, and if her fetch her Pill, and her Welch Hooke, and her two edged pack-sword, her vill carbon [...]toe te Rogues if tey repel: and tey shall never pe permitted by any kanown toleration to kill so many of her Countrymen by the halfe, as were killed lately in Saint Shorges Fields of Horse and Kine, py the malignant party: For peing Horse, I conceive tem to pe te malignant party; put if tey hat pin Asses, he shoult have sworne ten tey had beene Round-heads.

Tat her is Resolved to have te Book of Com­mon Prayer in referent ant pious observation, and tough some turpulent Scesmaticall and Amster­damean-pated Coxcombes toe call it Pottage, py her consent, tose tat vill eat no Pottage, shall eate no meate, wose stomacks are so contentious.

Tat her was in preparation a long time, and is now fully resolved to rayse an Army against her terrible enemy Little-eyes, one of the malignant party, who is a creater eye-sore unto her, ten Cheapside-Crosse is to te Round-heads, who doth not only consume her Cornes, and te Fruits, [Page 4]but also devoureth her Cause-bobby, and tosted Sheese, wich makes her Welch plood rise hot and violent against tem: her has terfore fortified her Garrison against her Little-eyed Enemy: and her calenged her enemy once pefore into te open Field; put as soon as te Alarum sounded, her ene­my like a very cowart ran away: put now her has taken more deliperate consultashons apout her, and has callet a learned Councell of War; and it was conclutet on, Tat her shall encompasse her enemy rount, and by Cod her will not leave Lit­tle-eyes alive, if her can overcome her by strength, or catch her by Policy, wereof her has very much: and let her enemy run, her can run after her, ile warrant her.

Her is Resolvet to make Warre also against her oter Enemy Robbin-Runhole, who eat up and root out all her Onions and Leekes, ant spoile her Mountaines.

Finally, her has mate an apsolute Resolution to levy War against Tom Pack-piter, a little nim­ble Shentleman with a plack pag, a pox on her for a plout-tirsty Tyrant, one of the malignant par­ty, and a creat enemy to te State of te Poty, her cannot sleep for tis Rogue pincheth, and stin­geth so terribly, her can neither walk or sit peace­ably, her punisheth her pack so intollerably, so tat her cannot be at quiet, poth Night and Day, this Tom Pack-piter toth so torment her: her is terefore intentet to pring all te Ammunition [Page 5]of Armes against her Enemy, put her know her to be a cowar [...], for her alwares comes behind her, and tare not come before her face; yet sometimes te Rogue showes her base condishon, for her can no sooner turne her pack, but nimble Tom vill apuse her before her face: her is terfore resolved to curbe in her insolencies, and if her can catch her, by Cod her vill preake her neck downe from te top of a Mountain.

Tese are her Countrymens Resolutions, which being very famous and commendable, her have tought recusite and necessary to declare unto te hole Urld: and withall her has tought is as perti­nent to make kanowne, wat her is Resolved, wat not to be, and wat not to do, as to resolve, wat to be and wat to doe.

First, her is resolved to pe no Deputy, for her love to keep her Necke on her shoulders petter then so.

Item, Tat her ville be no Pishop, for feare her sould be lent to te Tower tirteen togeter, like a Pakers tozen.

Item, Her vill be no Judge, for her kanowes tat ten her should hang all Prownists, and so consequently be a Delinquent, put her has wit enough to keep out of te Tower, Loy ye tere now.

Item, Her vill pe no Papist, pecause her vould not be called te malignant party, or supposed to pe an Irish Repel, or imagined to be a contriver [Page]te destructive demolishon of te State, or an ene­my to te Parliament.

Lastly, her vould pe no Round-head, pecause her vould love her King, and vould not pe (like tem) Enemies to God and te Urld, put lovers of te Flesh, and te Devill, who is newly turn'd Roundhead, with wom her toe leave all tose facti­ous Pretten.
