ever Crumwell or his fame-worthy Generall called or counted themselves Kings or were so held or reputed by their Souldiers shall be proved in Platoes great yeare or in the Callends of the Greeks when all Priapized Priests and Friars and all the vestall Nuns of Venus live chastely together or when Jesuitized Papists what ere they pretend shall love a Protestant Prince so wel unlesse moulded
