Kirk and State Excisemen
Ye men of wit and wealth, why all this sneering’Gainst poor Excisemen? Give the cause a hearing:What are your Landlord’s rent-rolls? Taxing ledgers!What Premiers? What ev’n Monarchs? Mighty Gaugers!Nay, what are Priests? (those seeming godly wise-men,)What are they, pray, but Spiritual Excisemen!
