The Cause again goes to the worst,
which makes Noll fret and swear
Sure Bresbren, sure we are accurst,
and then they rear their haire.
We know not what to say nor do
since stats do prove unkind,
But now we shall to Ireland go
when that the Devil's blind.
What shall we do cryes Martyn then

and cryes on for more Ships,
Cromwel Instructs which way is best
then to the City trips,

with all their Assessements, Taxes,&c. will nor do the feare:
