Reproduction of original in the British Library.
Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

THE
Catholick
BALLAD
:
OR
,
AN
INVITATION
TO
POPERY
,
Upon
Considerable
Grounds
and
Reasons
.
To
the
Tune
of
,
Eighty
eight
.
SInce
Pop'ry
of
late
is
so
much
in
debate
,
And
great
strivings
have
been
to
restore
it
,
I
cannot
forbear
openly
to
declare
,
That
the
Ballad-makers
are
for
it
.
We
'll
dispute
no
more
then
,
these
Heretical
Men
,
Have
exposed
out
Books
unto
laughter
,
So
that
many
do
say
,
't
will
be
the
best
way
,
To
sing
for
the
Cause
hereafter
.
O
the
Catholic
Cause
!
now
assist
me
my
Muse
,
How
earnestly
do
I
desire
thee
!
Neither
will
I
pray
to
St.
Bridget
to
Day
,
But
only
to
thee
to
inspire
me
.
Whence
should
Purity
come
,
but
from
Catholic
Rome
?
I
wonder
much
at
your
folly
?
For
St.
Peter
was
there
,
and
left
an
old
Chair
,
Enough
to
make
all
the
World
holy
.
For
this
facted
old
wood
,
is
so
excellent
good
,
If
our
Doctors
may
be
believ●d
,
That
whoever
fits
there
,
needs
never
more
fear
,
The
danger
of
being
deceived
.
If
the
Devil
himself
should
(
God
bless
us
)
get
up
,
Though
his
Nature
we
know
to
be
Evil
,
Yet
whilst
he
sat
there
,
as
divers
will
swear
,
He
would
be
an
infallible
Devil
.
Now
who
sits
in
the
Seat
,
but
our
Father
the
Pope
?
Which
is
a
plain
Demonstration
As
clear
as
Neon-day
,
we
are
in
a
right
way
,
And
all
others
are
doom'd
to
Damnation
.
If
this
will
not
suffice
,
yet
to
open
your
Eyes
,
Which
are
blinded
with
bad
Education
;
We
have
Arguments
plenty
,
and
Miracles
twenty
,
Enough
to
convince
a
whole
Nation
.
If
you
give
but
good
heed
,
you
shall
see
the
Host
bleed
.
And
if
any
thing
can
persuade
ye
,
An
Image
shall
speak
,
or
at
least
it
shall
squeak
In
the
honour
of
our
Lady
.
You
shall
see
without
doubt
,
the
Devil
cast
out
,
As
of
old
by
Erra
Pater
;
He
shall
skip
about
and
tear
like
a
dancing
Bear
,
When
he
feels
the
Holy
Water
.
If
yet
doubtful
you
are
,
we
have
Reliques
most
rare
,
We
can
shew
you
the
sacred
Manger
;
Several
loads
of
the
Cross
,
is
good
as
e're
was
,
To
preserve
your
Souls
from
danger
.
Should
I
tell
you
of
all
it
would
move
a
Stone-wall
,
But
I
spare
you
a
●●●t●e
for
pity
,
That
each
one
may
prepare
,
and
〈◊〉
up
his
〈◊〉
For
the
Second
P●r●●
of
my
Ditty
.
The
Second
Part.
To
the
same
Tune
.
NOw
listen
again
to
those
things
that
remain
,
They
are
matters
of
weight
,
I
assure
you
;
And
the
first
thing
I
say
,
throw
your
Bibles
away
,
'T
is
impossible
else
for
to
cure
you
.
O
that
pestilent
Book
!
never
on
it
more
look
,
I
wish
I
could
sing
it
out
louder
:
It
has
done
Men
more
harm
,
I
dare
boldly
●ff●rm
Than
th'
Invention
of
Guns
and
Powder
.
As
for
matters
of
faith
,
believe
what
the
Church
saith
,
But
for
Scripture
,
leave
that
to
the
learned
;
For
these
are
Edge-tools
,
&
you
Laymen
are
Fools
,
If
you
touch
them
y'
are
sure
to
be
harmed
.
But
pray
what
is
it
for
,
that
you
make
all
this
stir
?
You
must
read
,
you
must
hear
and
be
learned
:
If
you
'll
be
on
our
part
,
we
will
teach
you
an
Art
,
That
you
need
not
be
so
much
concerned
.
Be
the
Churches
good
Son
,
and
your
work
is
half
done
,
After
that
you
may
do
your
own
pleasure
:
If
your
Beads
you
can
tell
,
and
say
Ave
Mary
well
,
Never
doubt
of
the
heavenly
treasure
.
For
the
Pope
keeps
the
Keys
,
and
can
do
what
he
please
,
And
without
all
peradventure
,
If
you
cannot
at
the
Fore
,
yet
at
the
back-Door
Of
Indulgence
you
may
enter
.
But
first
by
the
way
,
you
must
make
a
short
stay
At
a
place
railed
Purgatory
,
Which
the
Learned
us
tell
,
in
the
builings
of
Hell
,
Is
about
the
middlemost
Story
.
'T
is
a
monstrous
hot
place
and
a
Mark
of
disgrace
,
In
the
Torment
on
't
long
to
endure
:
None
are
k●pt
there
but
fools
,
and
poor
pitiful
souls
Who
can
no
ready
Money
procure
.
And
a
handsum
round
Sum
you
may
quickly
begon
,
To
the
Church
has
wisely
ordein'd
,
And
they
who
build
Crosses
and
pay
well
for
Masses
,
Would
not
there
be
too
long
detein'd
.
And
that
't
is
a
plain
c●se
,
as
the
Nose
on
ones
Face
,
They
are
in
the
surest
condition
,
Since
none
but
poor
Fools
,
&
some
niggardly
Owls
,
And
can
call
into
utter
perdit
on
.
And
they
faileth
you
then
O
ye
great
and
rich
Men
,
For
that
you
will
not
hearken
to
reason
,
And
as
long
as
y
have
pence
,
y'need
scruple
no
of
sence
For
Murther
,
A●n●te●y
,
Treason
.
And
ye
sweet
natar'd
Women
,
who
hold
all
things
common
,
My
addresses
to
you
are
most
hearty
,
And
to
give
you
your
due
,
you
are
to
us
most
true
,
And
we
hope
we
shall
gain
the
whole
party
.
If
you
happen
to
fall
,
your
Pennance
is
small
,
And
although
you
cannot
forg●
it
,
We
have
for
you
a
cure
,
if
of
this
you
be
sure
,
To
con●ess
before
you
go
to
it
.
There
is
one
reason
yet
,
which
I
cannot
omit
,
To
those
who
affect
the
French
Nation
,
Hereby
we
advance
the
Religion
of
France
,
The
Religion
that
's
only
in
fashion
.
If
these
reasons
prevail
,
(
as
how
can
they
fail
?
)
To
have
Popery
entertain'd
,
You
cannot
conceive
,
and
will
hardly
believe
,
What
benefits
hence
may
be
gain'd
.
For
the
Pope
shall
us
bless
(
that
's
no
small
happiness
)
And
again
we
shall
see
restored
The
Italian
Trade
,
which
formerly
made
This
Land
to
be
so
much
adored
.
O
the
Pictures
and
Rings
,
the
Beads
and
fine
things
,
The
good
Words
as
sweet
as
Honey
,
All
this
and
much
more
,
shall
be
brought
to
our
Door
For
a
little
dull
English
Money
.
Then
shall
Iustice
and
Love
,
and
whatever
can
move
,
He
restored
again
to
our
Britain
:
And
Learning
so
common
,
that
every
old
Woman
Shall
say
her
Prayecs
in
Latin.
Then
the
Church
shall
bear
sway
,
and
the
State
shall
obey
,
Which
is
now
lookt
upon
as
a
wonder
,
And
the
proudest
of
Kings
,
with
all
Temporal
things
,
Shall
submit
and
trickle
under
.
And
the
Parliament
too
,
who
have
tak'n
us
to
do
,
And
have
handled
us
with
so
much
Terror
;
May
chance
on
that
score
(
't
is
no
time
to
say
more
)
They
may
chance
to
acknowledge
their
Error
.
If
any
Man
yet
,
shall
have
so
little
Wit
,
As
still
to
lie
Refratory
;
I
swear
by
the
Mass
,
he
is
a
meer
Ass
,
And
so
there
's
an
end
of
the
Story
.
FINIS
.
