Ye Publick Men of Trading, O trust them not a Plack, Tho that they Promise faithfully on you they'll turn their back But I must hold my peace and speak of nothing such, In case that I be taken for a Renter of the Church.

21. Our Church herein poor Scotland, in truth it's gotten a blot, I can compear her now to nought, but to Jock Walker's Coat, To the Conscience of the Levites, this Day I shall appeal, If a Rent be ill to make where there is nothing heal.

22. Well since we in this Nation God's Covenant disdains, It can be clearly proven it's Church Men that offends; Our Chistains in our. Synagogues perhaps they may repent, When GOD shall read his Quarrel of the Broken Covenant.

23. We're Married now to England, but Divorced from our God, As longs the Broken Covenant lays on us like a Load, A flourishing Church Scotland shall never enjoy, Untill the Sons of Levi their Knavery shall destroy.

24. Our Pastors, and our People right cold-rife now are turn'd, And for the Breach of Covenant, not one of them has mourn'd Which is the just occasion of Scotlands Misery, And this shall be our Ruin as far as I can see.

25. Alas! I do it Fear, altho? I do not so Hope, That our Churches in Poor Scotland, will be Stables to the Pope Because our vain Church Officers as yet will not consent, Nor will they Preach a Sermon on the Breach of Covenant.

26. I'ts vain for to expect a Eleffing on our Church, As long as Achas Altar stands common in the Porch,
