Kirk and State Excisemen
kirk and state excisemen ye men of wit ah, why all this sneering 'gainst poor excisemen? give the cause a hearing: what are your landlord's rent-rolls? taxing ledgers! remiers? what ev'n monarchs? mighty gaugers! nay, what are priests? (those seeming godly wise-men,) what are they, pray, but spiritual excisemen!
