Summary (extracted citations)

'The sordid commerce of mysterious lies/With every good th'IMPOSTER PRIEST supplies/In ev'ry age the PRIEST with blood was cloyed/Behold the Jews by Moses' hand destroyed/Behold the piies which Romans martyrs feed/Alle priests are murderers, licens'd by their creed/To damn the sage, the unbeliever kill/The heav'ns with fools, the earth with slaves to fill/The laws to barter, benedictions sell/And raise an empire at the gates of hell/Such is the spirit of the Roman priest/Such Greece produced, such Egypt, and the East'.
