justly without doubt;
     When servants snarl we ought to kick them out. 
     They that disdain their benefactor’s bread. 
     No longer ought by bounty to be fed. 
     That lost, the visor changed, you turn about,
     And straight a true-blue protestant crept out. 
     The Friar now was writ, and some will say,
     They smell a malcontent through all the play. 
     The papist too was damned, unfit for trust,
     Called treacherous, shameless, profligate, unjust,
     And kingly power thought arbitrary lust. 
     This lasted till thou didst thy pension gain,
     And that changed both thy morals and thy strain.
                                   The Laureat, 24th October, 1678.

3.  From hence began that plot, the nation’s curse,
     Bad in itself, but represented worse. 
     Raised in extremes, and in extremes decryed,
     With oaths affirmed, with dying vows denied;
     Nor weighed nor winnowed by the multitude,
     But swallowed in the mass unchewed and crude. 
     Some truth there was, but dashed and bruised with lies,
     To please the fools, and puzzle all the wise. 
     Succeeding times did equal folly call. 
     Believing nothing, or believing all.

4.  “Thus we see,” says Collier, “how hearty these people are in their
   ill-will; how they attack religion under every form, and pursue the
   priesthood through all the subdivisions of opinion.  Neither Jews
   nor Heathens, Turk nor Christians, Rome nor Geneva, church nor
   conventicle, can escape them.  They are afraid lest virtue should
   have any quarters, undisturbed conscience any corner to retire to,
   or God worshipped in any place.” Short View, &c. p. 110.

5.  “I have read somewhere in Mons. Rapin’s Reflections sur la
   Poetique, that a certain Venetian nobleman, Andrea Naugeria by
   name, was wont every year to sacrifice a Martial to the manes of
   Catullus:  In imitation of this, a celebrated poet, in the preface
   before the Spanish Friar, is pleased to acquaint the world, that he
   has indignation enough to burn a Bussy D’Amboys, annually, to the
   memory of Ben Jonson.  Since the modern ceremony, of offering up one
   author at the altar of another, is likely to advance into a
   fashion; and having already the authority of two such great men to
   recommend it, the courteous reader may be pleased to take notice,
   that the author of the following dialogue is resolved, (God
   willing) on the festival of the Seven Sleepers, as long as he
   lives, to sacrifice the Hind and Panther to the memory of Mr
   Quarels and John Bunyan:  Or, if a writer that has notoriously
   contradicted himself, and espoused the quarrel of two different
   parties, may be considered under two distinct characters, he
   designs to deliver up the author of the Hind and Panther, to be
   lashed severely by, and to beg pardon of, the worthy gentleman that
   wrote the Spanish Friar, and the Religion Laici.” The reason of Mr
   Bayes’ changing his religion. Preface.
