Manuscript
Title: 'A Sayre [Satire] upon the Times'
Verse entitled "A Saytr upon ye Times." Caustic critique of an "Unhappy York," where a manipulative church and king have allowed the colony's political affairs to become rife with corruption and hypocrisy. In New York "villians triumph under a pretence of loyalty and make the laws their tools to serve their wicked ends and cherish fools."
