was dashed to pieces against a cabbage ſtock!-- And now my humble petition to you, good Christian people, is, for one hundred of your beef, one hundred of your butter, another of your cheese, a caſk of your biſket, a ton of your beer, a keg of your rum, with a pipe of your wine, a lump of your gold, a piece of your ſilver, a few of you halfpence or farthings, a waught of your butter-milk, a pair of your old breeches, ſtockings or ſhoes, even a chaw of tobacco, for charity's ſake.

PADY'S CREED, FOR IRISH ROMISH BELIEVERS.

I Believe the Pope of Rome to be right heir and true ſuccessor of Peter the Apostle: And that he has a power above the Kings of the world, being ſpiritual and temporal; endowed with a communication from beyond the grave, and can bring up any a devil in       Samuel to Saul; by the ſame power he can, assisted by the inchantments its ſtead. of old Manasseh, a King of Israel.--I believe also in the Romish Priests, that they are very civil, chaste gentlemen; keep no wives of their own, but partake a little of other men's, when in ſecret confession.--I acknowledge the worshipping of Images, and relicks of Shaints departed, to be very just; but if they hear, and not help us, O they are but a parcel of ungrateful wretches.
 * i.e. or,       departed ſhoul* he pleases, even as the witch of Endor brought up
