A Ballad:
On the Lord’s grand portrait of history
there’s a human blot that no man shall rinse.
It is seen in England when Edward I,
son of King Henry III, was still a prince.
This family line is one most didactic.
The facts to grasp may be best understood
if you know Edward’s Grandpa was King John,
the infamous tyrant of Robinhood.
The hot cravings of a lost man’s proud heart
drive him to give or take what’s not his own.
For example, in 1253 Pope
Innocent IV offered Sicily’s Throne
to Edward’s brother, Edmund, through their Dad.
Strange! This land over which the Pope claimed right
had a native king on it who refused
to surrender his crown without a fight!
The hot cravings of a lost man’s proud heart
drive him to give or take what’s not his own.
The King ordered the Clergy to raise funds.
It was bloody extortion, not a loan,
to fund an unjust war to crown his son.
The Clergy refused to be the King’s dunce.
They knew his chaplain was paid as if he
preached in 700 churches at once.
King Henry’s court favored Italian priests
over the rights of the English native,
so native Barons and Clergy rose to
shake unjust King John’s son in their just sieve.
Bold Bishops and barons refused to yield.
At the King the gauntlet was nearly thrown.
The hot cravings of a lost man’s proud heart
drive him to give or take what’s not his own.
In the end, the brother of France’s King
added to the Pope’s many offenses
by stealing Sicily with the Pope’s help.
King Henry was stuck with the expenses.
A big bill of 100,000 pounds
was owed to the Pope for Henry’s hassle
of not taking what, by right, wasn’t his.
Ah, the joys of being the Pope’s vassal!
The hot cravings of a lost man’s proud heart
drive him to give or take what’s not his own.
Armed barons faced the King in Parliament.
The King was close to being overthrown.
A month later, Parliament assembled.
Barons called for a Government Committee,
half chosen by Barons, half by the king
who swore to it. Then came to the city
the king’s brother Richard with bad advice.
There was infighting between the Barons,
and Richard told the king to abolish
the Government Committee. These Pope’s sons
were assured the Pope would annul their oaths,
and they needed it for Richard wasn’t
free to enter England without the pledge.
Richard suggested Henry seize the mint.
The hot cravings of a lost man’s proud heart
drive him to give or take what’s not his own.
King Henry then hid in London’s Tower,
and in his hand a Papal letter was shown,
addressed to England and all of the world,
praising Henry’s rule of 45 years.
The letter meant nothing to Londoners.
I promise I’ll relate this to the queers.
A few castles were taken by two Earls,
who charged on London to surround the King.
The hearts of London were with the two Earls.
Their chosen mediator, France’s King,
said Henry should uphold Magna Carta,
and the Barons should drop all other claims.
Strange enough, the Barons refused those terms,
rallied folk by bell toll, and set their aims
not directly on the king but the Jews,
as if the Jews were the source of their ire.
It’s said that at least 500 were killed
for hiding in their homes what’s called “Greek fire,”
as if the merchant class trafficked in war.
Most say Londoners just wanted their cash.
But why do we see this oft repeated theme,
where the Jews draw down the popular lash?
Later, before his shameful suicide,
Hitler said the Jews view Europe’s nations
“as mere shares to be bought and sold”
and wars for profit were their creations.
The hot cravings of a lost man’s proud heart
drive him to give or take what’s not his own.
There’s a traitorous “Jew” in every man,
whose criminal lusts must be overthrown.
This inner “Jew” hides for the king of hell
a weapon far worse than any “Greek fire.”
It hides in homosexuality,
whose deadly flame is a sinful desire.
The hot cravings of a lost man’s proud heart
drive him to give or take what’s not his own.
We belong to the God of Creation.
Our lives are given to us as a loan.
When final Judgment’s bell begins to toll
will the citizens of heaven come forth
to hunt us out of the holes where we hide
and drag us from the east, west, south?
Now, we redirect this history’s light.
1272, prince Edward’s made king.
Edward was born in June, 1239,
some think on this day. In his heart did ring
the same bell London’s rebels rallied to
when they were allied against his father,
and targeted Jews as trouble-makers.
In 1290, he found the Jews a bother,
a loathsome intolerable bother.
He decreed their expulsion from England.
Previous decisions of Church Councils
guided the decision of his strong hand.
The 4th Lateran Council (1215),
banned Jewish loans with excessive interest, [decree 67]
like Moses, they enforced a code for dress, [decree 68]
And barred Jews from government like a pest. [decree 69]
Those bans —based on Toledo’s 3rd Council,
called in the year 589 AD—
were enjoined with that decree number 6,
which encouraged local synods. Eighty-
four months later, Oxford’s Synod convened
on April 17th, 1222.
Archbishop of Canterbury, Langton,
brought forth a Deacon who became a “Jew.”
It’s claimed the Deacon renounced the Gospel,
Christ, and Mary, to prove his decision.
He loved Hebrew and a Jewess enough
to get a real formal circumcision.
(Langton organized the Bible’s chapters.
Magna Carta was midwifed by his hand [June 15, 1215]
when he, on God’s altar, roused the Barons
to risk war with King John to free the land.)
Langton handed the ex-Deacon traitor
to the raging Sheriff of Oxfordshire
who vowed by God’s throat to cut the Deacon’s,
then killed him by burning him in fire.
[thus establishing a common law precedent for executing heretics]
The previous 4th Lateran Council
banned all mingling with usurious Jews
till they made amends for their oppression;
but Oxford’s Synod enforced some new views.
Oxford’s canon 46 went further.
It excommunicated a Christian
even for selling the Jews provisions,
so dire did the Brits find their condition!
But, by November 10 of that same year,
the King’s Justiciar countermanded
the decree that seemed to negate the love
for enemies, which the Lord commanded.
Oxford’s canon 46 also banned
Jews from owning a Christian as a slave,
and banned them from building new synagogues.
For “multiplied ingratitude” they’d quave,
forced to tithe to local parish churches
which the Anti-Christ “Jews” did not attend;
[note: That was nothing compared to what is suffered by modern Christians who are coerced, by threat of asset forfeiture, and forced to pay property taxes which fund public schools that push transgenderism, and even go so far as to circulate sodomite
pornography in the libraries: these are foul deeds worthy of a Baronial resistance, with Londoner’s raging by their side!]
for, when land titles switched to Jewish hands,
tithes to the Church stopped, and this did offend
the Church. For Jews, the next canon was worse.
Oxford’s canon 47 banned them
from storing records of debts in churches.
Indeed, Jews were banned from entering them.
That was sad, indeed, for every Christian
should want all unbelievers converted.
Compelled attendance would have been better.
On first glance, this canon seems perverted;
but not when we recall Hezekiah,
who showed God’s foes his earthly Avalon,
who, in folly, showcased his kingdom’s wealth
to those who’d soon drag it to Babylon.
True churches are a nation’s greatest wealth,
and the Lord said, “Don’t cast your pearls to hogs.”
Those who trample Truth then turn and rend us
are unworthy of holy things, like dogs.
Church and synagogue have different faces
but it seems like, at times, their tails are tied
as they run wreaking havoc in the world,
like Samon’s foxes, spreading flames of pride.
The hot cravings of a lost man’s proud heart
drive him to give or take what’s not his own.
Catholics played the “Jew” when they assumed
an Authority that belongs to God alone.
They say the 7th day Sabbath is changed
not by God but their doctrinal welders,
who add man’s Tradition to God’s Law like
Jews with “the Traditions of the elders.” [Matt. 15:2,3]
In order to change God’s holy Sabbath
one must undo the very universe,
for the Sabbath was blessed before the Fall!
To take away a blessed Law adds a curse!
Sadly, Oxford’s Synod, 1222,
adopted the 70th canon
of the 4th Lateran Council which said
that Jewish converts must all abandon
the vestiges of the old Jewish rites
which the Apostles themselves did not do.
Here we’ll see how Rome’s “Church” is not quite One.
In fact, we’ll see how it out-Jewed the “Jew.”
Oxford leaned on Lateran who leaned on
Toledo’s 3rd Council, 589.
But Toledo’s 9th Council, six-fifty-
four, decreed what seems to be asinine
by the light it shines on the Lateran
Council’s 70th canon. I see
a cold hard contradiction between facts.
Warm up to Truth if your heart’s icy
for Toledo’s 9th Council clearly said
baptized Jews should keep their Jewish Feast days
with Christian ones [adopted from pagans].
Soon enough, we’ll resume whipping the gays!
To be continued….
