OLD STILE.

CREEDS TO CHOOSE.

Firft, or Tory Creed.

BELIEVE in the infallibility of all crowned heads.

I believe in the infallibility of the Minifter for the time being.

"I believe in William Pitt as the maker of all good men.

"I believe in the perfection and inviolability of the English conftitution, as now adminiftered; and I think it a damnable herefy to believe that it can be amended. "I believe in the charity, religion, and virtues of the church, as eftablished by law.

I believe in the holinefs of all Bifhops-in the neceffities of pluralities-in the advantages of tythesand in all good things dependent upon High Church Government.

"I believe in the falvation of Test Acts.

"I believe in the virtue of corruption, without which there can be no regeneration.

"I believe in the faving grace conferred by penfions and finecure places.

"I believe in the virtue of riches, and vice of poverty and I believe that all men who do not believe

as

as I believe, will, or ought to be, damned in fecula feculorum. Amen.

"A CAVALIER OF THE OLD COURT CUT."

Second, or Jacobine Creed.

"I do not believe in any thing that is ancient, fixed, ftable, or permanent.

"I believe only in the virtues of change and expe

riment.

"I believe that all crowned heads are tygers, prowling for prey.

"I believe that all Ministers are jackals, purveying for fuch tygers.

"I believe that the English conftitution is bad, will be worse, and ought to be destroyed.

"I believe that it is wifer to rush into any evils that may await change, than to attempt to amend what is amifs, becaufe life is not long enough to wait the flow progrefs of reform.

"I believe that all good governments are made only for the exifting members, and that they have nothing to do with pofterity.

"I believe that the next world has nothing to do with us, and confequently that we have nothing to do with the next world.

"I believe that every rich man is a rogue, and ought to be poor.

"I believe in the Rights of Man, as far as they ferve to give me a right to live independent of all controul, as a man ought to do.

"I believe that the only fit men to frame a government for free men, are those who have always lived independent of any government whatever, as they only can know what freedom is.

"I believe in Tom Paine as the faviour of this world. Amen.

A REPUBLICAN OF THE NEWEST CUT."

Third, or my own Creed.

"I believe that every conftitution is not adapted to every country.

"I believe that a limited monarchy is beft adapted to produce peace, plenty, prosperity, and protection in Great Britain.

"I believe that the conftitution of England, as originally framed, is the wifeft idea of a free government that ever entered into the imagination of man.

"I believe that no human inftitution ever was, or will be, perfect; but if it is fufceptible of amendment, may always be approaching nearer to perfection. "I believe that, being of human institution, the English conftitution is fubject to abufes and to decay. "I believe that many abufes have crept into the Administration, that many decays have begun to appear in the English conftitution.

"I believe that no man is infallible, either as a King or as a Minister.

"I believe it to be the intereft of every Minifter to encourage abufes in the Adminiftration, and to hide decays in the constitution.

"I believe that all the abuses in the Adminiftration, and all the decays in the conftitution, are practical evils, and admit of eafy and practical cures."

What terms you live on with your tooth,

I hope your jars are at an end;

But ftill I wish to know the truth;

'Tis well you were alarm'd in time,

And took the hint, and look'd about;
He and his neighbours could not chime,
They threaten'd shortly to fall out.

He

He then fhew'd figns of infurrection,
And foon acquaintance had with Pain;
But now he's drill'd-a juft correction,
And to the ranks reduc'd again.
An action you commenc'd for trover,
And LAW bade all contention ceafe;
He took him up, and bound him over,
And ty'd him down to keep the peace.
Then, left himself should gain no fame,
And you no profit from his labours;
As further fureties for the fame,

Bound over both his next-door neighbours,
Now let him learn to prize his lot,
And try to keep within his tether;
Let each old grievance be forgot,
And may you both long bold together.

Though the low and the laborious execrate thy name, though the poor fpeak of thee in anguifh and in tears, yet the Princes of the world are glad of thee, the Nobles of all lands fing Hallelujah's to thy greatness.

Oh! who fhall abide thy wrathful indignation? All who contend against thee shall drink of the cup of the fierceness of thy rage.

Thou fendeft out armies conquering and to conquer, and when they are discomfited, thou becomest exceeding wrath, and ordereft forth others to be again deftroyed; for thy power and thy glory are without

Thy palace is built upon a rock, it is built Treafury, it defieth the wind and the tempefts, and the mighty wind; for its walls are of adamant, and its chambers are of gold, and its grand halls are of porphyry and fine gold, and precious ftones. It is called the Palace of Downing at this day.

The merchants of thy great city, whofe riches overflow like the waters of the Nile, make offerings unto. thee; they bring thee wealth from Tyre and from Sydon, from the Eaft and from the Weft, which thou deigneft to receive at their hands; then thou commandeft thy people to repay them with the sweat of their brow to all ages-fo excellent is thy loving kindness towards them.

Yet the poor fhall come forward in vast multitudes, and with much complaint, and fhall fay unto thee, "Fye upon thee! fye upon thee !" but thou fhalt not be ashamed.

And thou fhalt take the offerings of the rich merchants, and the wealth of Tyre and Sydon, and thou fhalt scatter them over the face of the earth, and upon the great waters, and in the air; then all men fħall
