The Proselyte.  A new ballad, on a new occasion.
(To the tune of the Thief and Cordelier.)
The Vestry conven'd at a [?time] the most fitting,
To build up the church, and to pull down the meeting; 
Whate'er serv'd the cause, they tho't ne'er could be evil;
For they hated dissenters far worse than the devil.
  Derry down, down, hey derry down.
. . . [10 more verses]
