THE ECHO.
Now, Echo, on what's religion grounded?
_Round-head!_
Whose its professors most considerable?
_Rabble!_
How do these prove themselves to be the godly?
_Oddly!_
But they in life are known to be the holy,

_O fie!_
What do you call it then, to fructify?
_Ay._
What church have they, and what pulpits?
_Pitts!_
But now in chambers the Conventicle;
_Tickle!_
The godly sisters shrewdly are belied.
_Bellied!_
The godly number then will soon transcend.
_End!_

_Rase them!_
What do they make of bishop's hierarchy?
_Archie!_[117]
Are crosses, images, ornaments their scandall?
_All!_

_Lye all!_
Then God keep King and State from these same men.
_Amen_!
