In contemptum dicti domini regis nunc, legumque suarum, ad magnum opprobium scandalum defamationem et infamiam præfati Titi Oates, in magnam perturbationem pacis dicti domini regis et populi sui inquietudinem, in malum exemplum omnium aliorum consimili casu delinquentium, ac contra pacem dicti domini regis nunc coronam et dignitatem suas &c.[216]

I have not been able to meet with a copy of the original verses, which, no doubt, would be printed in the form of a broadside; but they are reprinted in a little book entitled "A Collection of 86 Loyal Poems, all of them written upon the two late plots, viz., The Horrid Salamanca Plot in 1678, and the present fanatical conspiracy in 1683." Collected by N[athaniel] T[hompson.] 1685.
