SOund Drums and Trumpets! will you buy any Brooms, have you any Boots or Sh [...]es to sell? so cries the noble Lord Hewson, Baron of Bungle Hall, to his lasting Renown and Honour. Wat Tyler was an asse to this Cobler, nor did ever any Rascall presume to strut and vapour up and down the streets of London with half the impudence as him. His Master Oliver came not in such pride and state, nor sto­mack to his Dinner at Grocers-Hall, as this one-eyed Varlet marcht with insolence and fury to the Exchange to a butche­ry; and with the same quarrel against the Prentices, as his Comrade Tom Pride had against the Beares, meerly for their Skins. He hath formerly been a Tory-hunter in Ireland, and imagined he had then bin on such an expedition, for he skipt and danced over the kennels, as if they had bin bogs, and pur­sued his enterprise as closly as ever his cobling ends did his Awle. Hold up his Dagger-hand, lets see whether the Hang­man have not puncht him, and given him an earnest in his fist for a Halter. Bring him to the Barre of the other House, and [Page 4] let him be tryed by his Peers, and see if 12 such Cobaliros can be found among all the Anabaptist Churches that have most of the Trade in Saintship with them; may he have and be fit­ted with a size of twelves, such Godfathers as the turn will afford him, though there be no heed now adayes to the Com­mon Prayer in that, yet let regard be had to the common cry of the City. Was the black Rod do you think, ever intended or designed to whip Coblers? or will Princes Robes sit hand­som on Brewers backs, and yet this goodman two shoes, by a relish and smack of Lordly Dignity, did confidently personate that pretended Honour, and acted not barely as a Lord in his late Riot and Tumult, but usurped the Authority and Power as if he had been our Lord Mayor.

We never yet heard of any that assended from his Corpo­ration to that pitch and height of Magistracy; but we now see the difference betwixt a company of Cordwainers and a company of Re [...]ats. 'Twas a marvel this Fellow, with the rest of the ga [...] [...] not made Lord Marquesse, when Olivers dubbing and en [...]ng Hand was in; We imagine that if he had had his other eye, Oliver would have done it, for he had need of a hundred eyes ro look to himself.

But though the Jewish Law forbids any imperfect Sacrifice to be offered, yet we will not rest nor cease our prosecution, till we have sacrificed this blind Cobler to the Ghosts of our slain, and to the injuries of our wounded Brethren, and in satisfaction of the Outrages and affronts he hath done to us.

I. THat we may be assured that we shall not be molested in our Callings by Hewson the Cobler, lately Hewson the Colonel.

II. That his Estate may be confiscated towards the maintenance [...]f the poor, blind, and lame; and that he be forthwith com­ [...]anded, at his peril, to cry Jumps up and down the streets, [...]nd old Shooes and Boots, to humble his haughty spirit, and make him the fitter for Execution.

III. That after he hath humbled himself a moneth, he be sent into the City of London, and there to stand in the Pillory, un­til he hath had as many rotten Eggs flung at him, as he hath sowed stitches in Shooes or Boots; and then to be taken down, and tyed to a Cart, and whipped from thence to the place where the Speaker's Coach was stopped, and had stones cast at him by the Souldiery, there to be again Pillorized, and bored through the Tongue for his wicked perjuries.

IV. That he be forthwith brought to the Sessions, and there con­victed according to Law, and being conveighed to Newgate, thence to be carried on a Bull-hide to Tiburn, and there to hang as long as Shooe-making is used in London.

And therefore we'do demand this Polyphemus to be deliver­ed to Justice, oth [...]rwise we will drag him out of his Den, where he thinks to lurk by benefit of the Parliaments Vote for his confinement to his own house (if any such of right he have) and take our own course with him; and for his greater terror we do here declare the manner of our severe punishment, and exemplary execution, that he may take it for a warning.

First, Because they say he was a Knight, we will degrade him of his new gentility, by throwing a Basket of grains in his eye, and pull off his Spurs; and having stript him out of his breeches, give him a hundred blowes on his bare breech with his Coloshoes.

2. For his brustling in our streetts, we will with his Awles pierce his hide all over, and put Bristles in the holes, as the old Womans Arse that was stuft with Parsley.

3. Being suc [...] a hide-bound slave, we will put him upon Squire Duns Tree, and stretch him till his skin crack again, which we will strip over his eares, and send to Mol Lovel, or any other Doxy for a new fashion stuffe, or else cut into Thongs for the Boyes to whip Gigs with, or make Bartholo­mew faire Drums, in memorial of such a Warrior.

4. The one good eye he hath left, wee'l take out of his Head, and bestow it upon blind Milton, that it may still be worn as an Ornament in a knaves countenance, and when he leaves it, it shall be given to Surgeons Hall for a rarity.

5. We will have his Scull well scraped, and preserved for a drinking Bowle for his Brethren to fuddle in on Crispianas night.

6. We will pick his bones clear, and tip them with the Iron of his Sword, and make Ninepins of them, and in the so­lemnity of Skimmington, they shall be carried in procession, and be reverenced by the scolds of the [...]own.

7. His Coach shall wait on us to Tyburn, while we conveigh him thither in a Tumbrel, wee'l bring home his Cloaths in the Boots of it, and have the Caroach cut out to the best ad­vantage, and bestowed upon young beginners of his Trade gratis.

But if he will render himself into the hands of Justice, and not stand so stiff on his Pantofles, upon his tryall we may chance to wink on him; but justice is as blind as himself, and spares no body, even as he killed his brother Cob; However we say let him try us, for the Parliaments Pleasure heel never remove, and weele have but one bout at blindmans buff with him, and then good night gaffer. VVe believe he is not now so high in the instep, but that he would be glad to work Pumps to Tenis-Courts: In this we are very favourable to him,

For,
