And ſome part of her Countries and the Prittiſh Ocean being in proſpects and ſights & very neer unto Ireland, where it may be ſuppoſed, that py the running away of Rebels, creat pieces of pred and ſcheeſe have for haſt dropt out of their knapſacks; whereby her Long tayld enemies have bin ready to fall on, it is there­fore thought fit in her prittiſh wiſdoms, that her Coun­trymen ſhould be ready at morning, noon and nightwith creat watches in Sea-towns, to peat her enemies, if they ſhould out of their cruell ſtomacks come in creat troops come upon planks or poords of ſhips, ſwiming over her prittiſh Seas, with purpoſes to land in Wales, and this he do purpoſe ſhall firſt pe concluded and agreed uPon in the prittiſh Parliament. He do next mean though her purſes pe not ſo p•g, yet her have hands cods plutter a nails and arms too, and therfore he will not pe put into fears with her creat huge high Mountains, put he do pur­poſe to make to make Taxations and Eaſments upon all her ſhires and lay on ſilver two pences upon all her cun­try-mans heads & pates, and with cood moneys as her have contriv'd and plotted the puſineſſes and ſharges to a farthing, her will make all her mountains wheron her Coats, ſheeps, Rvnts, do take bare Commons together, to be as plain as her table in her houſe, and this her will pring to defears and purpoſes, with her ſhovels and her ſpades and all her poys ſhal work till her proud moun­tains pe turned into creen middows, that ſo her cows & coats may fill their pellies, and make her creater ſtore of putter and ſheeſe, than ever was in any lnowledge or memory in Wales, And wheras her poor tenants in her Countties are forced to pay creat ſtore of Rents for her poor Cottages, her muſt alſo pay ſhillings and pence to her Shentries and Landlords, her will have therfore pub­lique laws contrived in goodfaſhions, that her may dwel in pig houſes, and pe not ſubject to ſell her Cows at her markets, to her great hinderances and loſſes, to make monies for ſuch unreaſonable and prvtiſh payments, put that her may pay two pennies yearly, according as it was in the dais of King Arthur, a creat while ago, and not be found to run away in her old apparels up to Loudon, to hide her ſelf from her Country-man Landlord. He is al­ſo reſolved, that this ſhall be alſo taken into conſidera­tions and conſultations in the Prittiſh Parliament. He is alſo very angry, and in great Furies, againſt her pabling Countrywoman of hers, that whe her is in her rages any where, and do out of her bloud ſwear by S. Taffie her will in ſimilitudes and imitations anſwer her again with polices and repetitions, and cry S. Tavy, then if her caſt her looks into admirations apout her, & if her ask what pooby is that, that makes her in the pryars, her will ſay what pooby is that, then if her ſay come out if her dare for her nails, her will ſay if her dare for her nails, and when her after much moleſtations of mind enquir'd and asked the queſtions of Sir ſenkins the Curate of her pa­riſh, concerning the affronts, and what welch Divels han ted the vds, he made his reſolutions and definitions, that it was her puling Countrey-womens Echoes, as he cals her, who had in the ſtony powels and pellies of the mountains, Her wil therfore make her humble ſuits, that this welch ſhe lived gen Echoes by names and ſurnames may pe puniſhed out of her vds and mountains, cauſe her hath ſo often ſtird up her prittiſh plonds with hermow and ſheers, & her could never in all her dais have a blow at her crowns with her long welch hooks, for if her culd her wuld have cut her tongues out of her heads, for moc­king her Cuntry wen, but cauſe her is her unknown cun­try woman the fore her will put in ſtrange Articles and Inditements againſt this Tivell in the uds, that ſo her pri­tiſh Parliament m•y rake Order to puniſh the pawling tongue of Mrs. Nobodies, or Mrs. Echoes as they call her. There is alſo a kind of fellows in leather tublets & plew priches, that when her pring her cood peas, parly, Oat, & pread corn to crind at her mil; was never honeſt man, put coſen her in the meaſures of her parly & other corns, her will deſire her prittiſh Parliament either to turn her out of her mils in her cuntries, or make her honeſt if her can or hang her on the mountains. And wheras in her coun­tries there are apundance of very pleaſant prooks & Ri­ver, and was creat ſtore of cood fiſh in them, the pritiſh Parliament ſhall make laws and ſtatutes for the cood of her Common-wealths and Countries, that Red-Herrings with pels apout her necks ſhall pe put into thoſe prooks and Rivers, that her ſhenerations may multiply, and with her angle her may go to the prook, and take red herring at her pleaſure with pels about her neck, and this matter of cood note her welch Parliament was take into her conſideration, And moreover wheras many creat Goats take their foods and dyets on the crags and mountains, her was deſire her welch Parliament, that cauſe her have as long peards as her country man, they may pear Armes as well as her countryman againſt her ſoe, with Round­heads, and ſmall eyes, thoſe putter and theeſe eaters, and in dangerus occaſions, pecsme ſouldiers in definces of her coun­tries of Wales. There was moreover a prown politick ene­mies, that with much cruelties ſuck the plood, and eat the pones of her ſheeps and young lambs, and do much oppreſſions, and then ſlip into the vds, and hide her ſelves in habitations under th•ground, put her welch Parliament ſhall put her politick v•ſhips to tryals, and having found her a plood-ſuc­ker, ſhall if her can, command that all her head may pe cut of on a plock And her welch Parliament ſhall make a cood law and order, that when her comes to markets or Fairs, and fall to pribble prabble with her country man, her may ſoundly paſt his pody and preak his crown without fear of being carryed pefo•e Shuſtice Morgan her coſen, to make her appearance for fait and Patteries of her Countryman. And becauſe her Pariſhes are conſiſting of a few pighouſes out of which a little ſmoak doth break forth at the top of ſhimneys, and that her Schoolmaſters have put poor & peg­gerly penſions, for her Inſtructions of her shildren, he was therfore in intention to deſire her welch Parliament to give her childs Tutors and Schoolmaſters tens. more yearly for to pay her pooks reparre's, and other cood neceſſaries, than ſo her children may learn to make petter Orthographies, then her Fore-fathers, and not put up deriſion for her pad-Engliſh. And moreover her Parliaments ſhall provide that there was be more cood Leeks ſowd in peds to wear in her Monmouth Caps upon St. Taffies tay, and that none ſhall mock her for her cuſtoms and faſhions in doing ſo, in ado­rations of her cood codly countryman. And that if her rice or co a wooing to her coſen ap Ienkins, or her coſen ap Williams daughter out of meere amours and affections, and with her cood actions and playing on her Welch Harpes doe get•er in tunes and matrimonies, and doe happen af­terward to like petter of her coſen Powels daughter and heire to awle her lands and coods, her Welch Parliament ſhall allow her to have a paire of wives as well as a paire of poots, that her may commit Matrimonies with the one for affections, and with the other for her creat and rich portions, and not be hanged on ſhibbits for her cood wills And her will alſo ſue unto her parliament, that her may have Cr•nſtones in awle Townes and creat Corporations, to•tind and make ſharp her tongues welch pills, that they may cut her enemies into ſhips and ſmall pieces, and de­ſend her lands and coods and awle her countries againſt her pragging foes, that would invade her pounds, marches and Territories of Wales. And that if any of her poor coſen or countrey men doe through neceſſities, wants, and po­verties, ſteal or porrow of her next Neighbours, any cow, ſheepe, coat, or peaſt, and be apprehended for felonies, her ſhall py ſtatutes of Parliament not pe put to her pook becauſe her is pad reader of Engliſh Pooks and languages. Put as for points and crounds of Religions, her care not for entring into ſuch creat diſputations, put her doe with all her Papiſts in her countries were paniſhed, that her might as true Proteſtants live on her lands in creat ho­nours and Reputations, and her will bee alwayes readie with pills and hookes to peat downe papiſts in awle her countries, and ſpend her beſt plood to maintaine the cood Goſpels, and that her ſelf is true Prittain and ancient ſhen, tlemen of Wales, as it ſhall be recorded in the Welch par­liament which we call from the top of the Mountaines that her coſen ap Lewes, her coſen ap Griffeth in the Vale, her coſen ap Thomas, ap Iones, ap David, ap Williams, ap Morgan, ap Powel, and ap Iinken, with awle their other urſhips in Wales, may upon the mountains in creat haſte & expeditions meet as Purges of the welch Parliament.
