_Imprimis_, He has given so many strong purges to his own kingdom, that he has empty’d it of half its people and money. _Item_, He apply’d costives to _Genoa_ and _Brussels_, when he bombarded both those cities. _Item_, He gave a damn’d clyster to the _Hollanders_ with a witness, when he fell upon the rear of their provinces, in the year 72. _Item_, He lull’d king _Charles_ the second asleep with female opiates. _Item_, He forced Pope _Innocent_ the eleventh, to swallow the unpalatable draught of the _Franchises_. _Item_, He administrated a restorative cordial to _Mahumetanisme_, when he enter’d into an alliance with the _Grand Turk_ against the emperor. _Item_, He would have bubbled the prince of _Orange_ with the gilded pill of sovereignty, but his little cousin was wiser than to take it.

But to see how one persecution treads upon the heels of another! I was hardly recover’d out of my astonishment, when a son of a whore of a _German_, advancing towards me, was pleas’d to explain himself as follows:
