A Looking-Glass for Presbyterians (Inscribed: J. Arbo) - Title Page

[J. Arbo]
A
LOOKING-GLASS,
FOR
PRESBYTERIANS.

When up a dangerous Faction starts,
With Wrath and Vengeance in their Hearts;
By solemn League and Cov'nant bound,
To ruin, Slaughter and confound;
To turn Religion to a Fable,
And make the Government a Babel:
Fair Liberty is then my cry;
For her I stand prepar'd to die.
SWIFT.

Printed in the Year MDCCXLIV.
