Entries cancelled for R15A and T487 in Wing (2nd ed.). Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Given into his Majesties hand , the second of September last , by E. R Whereto is added the Papists Attempts upon Justice Arnold , Mr. Thomkins , and lately on Sr. William Waller . Which also may be Sung to the Tune , Stone Walls cannot a Prison make , &c. The Plot. GIVE ear , O King , and Nobles all , to this my new true Song , The Living God is all in all , his Truth is very strong , Truth will defend , world without end , those that are Innocent . The Man that walketh in the Truth hath no cause to repent . A mighty Wonder hath bin wrought by God in fair England , He hath delivered the King by his almighty Hand , Traytors did seek to take away his LIFE , as is made known , But their damn'd Treason is found out , GOD hath them overthrown . Their dark design is brought to light , for all Traytors must fall ; Their is no Treason in the Truth , for truth is Lord of All : Its Truth that maketh Treason fly , truth is a noble thing , The Devil 's in that man indeed that wo'd destroy a King. O Charles ! rejoice , & praise the Lord for your Deliverance , He made you King of fair England , I see your life advance : Your secret Foes God will beat down , and break them all asunder : Your preservation stands in God , who will bring traytors under . How often hath the Lord bin pleased your Body to deliver : Then praise the living God , รด King , that you may live for ever : Great hath his Kindness bin to you , he is your strong Defender , Give up your Mind unto the Lord , that Kingdom he doth tender . When you was compassed about with Fiery Enemies , The Lord appeared in great power , and did their Host surprise . He led you by a gentle hand , sent you out of their way , And at his pleasure brought you home , remember such a day ! The Kindness of the Lord to you is not to be forgot , Remember this my Sovereign , how fair hath been your Lot. The hand of Divine Providence , hath guided you along , Then blame me not , my Sovereign , to greet you with a Song . True men , of old , were very bold they sung with heart and hand , They lived and walked in the Truth , the pearl of every Land : They praised God , and loved the King bearing the Truth within , They had no Treason in their hearts , but in true Love did spring . Fire of London . No Man that ever yet knew God : was known for to conspire , To kill a King , or set a Land in burning flames of Fire . O dreadful Treason , God will be thy everlasting Death : Those that are Found to walk therein , the Lord will stop their breath . Charles by the Grace of GOD , I say , lift up your Heart to GOD : Then hee 'l give Traytors unto you : and you shall be their Rod ; By you God will chastise them all , they shall become your Prey , Give glory to the living God , he is your strength and stay . Godfreys Murder . The King is safe , but Godfreys slain , now Traytors look about yee ; You are afraid of every Bush , the Truth of God will rout yee . Your safe-guard you have lost indeed , your Salt hath lost its favour ; You seek for holes to hide you in , for want of the Kings favour . Come , Traytors come , with shame sit down , destruction is your lot : Be sorry now with all your Hearts , for this your cursed Plot ; Had not your Market been forestald , and you brought into Chains , The Devil had bewitch'd you all , it s he that in you Reigns . Justice Arnold . Another Justice was beset , they thought him for to Murther : The Lyon he is in a Net , he cannot go no further : His Kingdom it is numbered , and now it shall be finisht : They are all Traytors to their Head , that have the Truth deminisht . Mr Thomkins , Esq Arnold's friend . A Lawyer that in Monmouth shire , did live , hath been assaulted , By one that will go to the Church , but yet belike he halted : He knew not God to be his God , for Baals Priest they do blind them , All Murderers shall feel the Rod , with Judgments God will find them . Sir William Waller . Sir William Waller he is fled , for fear that he should follow Sir Edmundbury Godfrey , dead , the Huntsmen they do hollow , And closely follow on their Game , over all Hills and Mountains , But yet they shall not hurt the Lambs , that feedeth by the Fountains . Then keep Christs new Commandement , and truly love each other , And then you never shall be shent , for he that hates his Brother : He is a Murtherer I know , and walks not in the Spirit , Which is the free gift of the Lord , that none can ever Merit . Therefore O King , shew mercy then , to me a Worm in Prison : I am your Prisoner God doth know , in this I speak no Treason : Might I injoy my Liberty , I let you understand , I could not hurt , nor yet disturb , no person in your Land. O King , you can command the Press , it standeth good with reason : O King , let this be put in Print , in truth , here is no Treason . They are the Dictates of my Mind : the Lord , he gave them mee , And I do freely give them to your Royal Majesty . O blame me not , my Sovereign , for this poor drop of water : It is exceeding good indeed , and from the Divine Nature . Charity is a noble spring , in Love there is no Treason , For Charity doth guide the mind , a long in Divine reason . Farewel , farewel , my Master dear ; consider me at leisure : Hear I must lye asuredly , until it be your Pleasure , To set me free , then it would bee , to us a great refreshing , To see you enter into Love , and so receive Gods blessing . Written by J. Taylor , a Singer of Israel , Prisoner in the Kings Bench. LONDON , Printed in the Year 1680.
