Transcription
A Propos.
Since George has abus’dabused our good Common Prayer,
				By placing his Name in large Characters there;
				I’ll absent from the Service so foully perverted,
				
         For, how can I tune out Amen to that Part,
				While the Words of my Mouth give the Lie to my Heart?
				To join in one Part, &and take Snuff at the Rest!
				Is but shameful Dissembling with God at the best!
