Came licens'd forth by your probation.
For, as yourselves with Athaliah's brood
240In strong contention for precedence stood,
Whitehall, Windsor, Feb. 3, 1643.
You robb'd two Royal Chapels of their plate,
Which Kings and Queens to God did dedicate;
Then by a vote more sordid than the stealth,
Melt down and coin it for the Commonwealth,
That is, giv't up to the devouring jaws
Of your great Idol Bel, new styl'd The Cause.
