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,
And wait untilluntil James for George is inserted:
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!
JanryJanuary 16. 1762.
