Being a just comparison , how the Devil is become a Round-Head ? In what manner , and how zealously ( like them ) he is affected with the moving of the Spirit . With the holy Sisters desire of Copulation ( if he would seem Holy , Sincere , and Pure ) were it with the Devill himself . THE DEVIL TVRN'D ROVND HEAD , OR , PLUTO become a BROWNIST . DEMON having sufficiently viewed the Epedemicall Spectacles of the World , and withall perceiving men , which exceeded him in knavery , resolved himself to equiparate them in emulation . Yet notwithstanding there were so many Sects , that Pluto himself knew not which to elect to himself , or be conformable unto . First , he began with the Puritans , but they were all in preparation for beyond Sea , into new Plantations , especially into New-England ; that he thought most of them were safe enough under his tuition : then he proceeded on with the Brownists , but some were so employed in Barnes and Stables , others ( the Spirit moving them ) were so occupied among the holy Sisters , that he likewise reputed them secure in his own custody . Then thirdly , he calumniously appropinquated to the Round-heads , but they also were bufied about Cheap-side Crosse , so that he consequently ennumerated all into his own Catalogue : Till at length they became so obstinate , that all the interest , which before he presumed to challenge in them , was totally oblitterated . Then he palpably began to sycophantize , and in a parasiticall pretence supposed to introduce them to his own Satanicall opinions . Thus he began to assimulate himself unto a Round-head , and ( like them ) although he could not swear , yet he could lie most damnably . He did initiate with his Yea's and Verily's so conformably , as if he were a perfect Round-head . Then he proceeded to prune his horns , but he thought that their horns were long enough and continued therefore in that apparent similitude : secondly , he began to prune his hair , and cut it so close to his skull , that it seemed like the Characters of an Amsterdammian print : thirdly , he began to frequent the Woods , for he was sure that he should finde many of them in some hollow trees : fourthly , he followed Conventicles for there he had some confidence to meet the holy Brethren , and Sisters together . Fifthly , he denied the Book of Common-Prayer , because he would be correspondent unto the Roundheads in every particular degree . But to have a more reciprocall affinitie with them , he would exclude the Bishops , and all those who were of the Sacerdotall Function ; as also , those who were comonly called Cavaliers : He likewise desired to be in the community of the holy Sisters , to the fructification of one another , and to their better edification . Moreover , he conformed himself to hate all good manners , all orders , rule , Orthodoxe Divinitie , rule and government in the Common-wealth and Church , for in their opinion they were all superstition and Poperie ; he denied likewise , all good works , Academian Learning , Charitie , and the publike Liturgie of the Church of England , for he with them , conceived them all to be Idolatry , prophanesse , and meer Ceremonies . He also confined himself to the audience of the He and she Lecturers , whose sanctifi'd Divinity in plain sincerity is inspired from the holy spirit . He moreover cropt his hair close to his ears , that he might more easily hear the blasphemy , which proceeded from them , and he might increase a more eager appetite of concupiscence at the aspect of a younger Sister : And lastly , that he might be in a perfect opposition to the Cavalier . He loved the sharpnesse of the nose , because it was prone to smell out the savour of some rich Saints Feast : and that he might more sincerely pronounce the holy Word . He refused all good works ; because he knew them to be so invisible , that they could neither be seen in this world , nor known in the world to come . Thus the Divell in every respect did assimulate himself to the absolute comparison of a Round-head , and became so conformable in every Degree unto them , that for his little Faith he seemed Really so to be . He seemed onely to differ in this , for he broke his horns and the Round-heads grew as long as their ears . Thus we may perspicuously conceive , the diffusive distraction in our Church , and although Schisme abounds in such a redundant superfluity ; Yet we hope the Parliament will judiciously consider the same , and let the Disturbers of the Time suffer exemplary and condign punishment , according to their demerits .
