John Milton’s answer to the conundrum of why people love a tyrant is that people love “not freedom, but license, which never hath more scope or more indulgence than under tyrants” #milton
Now live: our annotated online anthology of primary texts from early modern Exeter exploring how varied religious and communal identities are expressed in writing. Includes poems, sermons, memoirs and polemical pamphlets from 1589 to 1740. Enjoy!

There's a lot here that I'm misreading or unable to understand, but I think it's a denunciation of public houses?
'Tafarn sydd ddiffydd': 'The tavern is faithless'.
Later on, 'Bwth lledrad' would be 'Hut of larceny'.
I don't think this is a well-known poem.
The latest publication from @WritingExeter is now out in open access for anyone to read - @DrDParry discusses the theme of hypocrisy in previously unstudied MS Dissenting sermons @DExInstitution.
My article on hypocrisy and sincerity in Exeter Dissenting sermons is now out (open access for anyone to read). As far as I know this is the first ever publication on a 26 vol MS collection of 17th/18th century sermons held by the @DExInstitution.

Excellent lecture by Dr Mark Stoyle of University of Southampton, esp tracking the origin of Exeter city’s motto to John Hooker, not Queen Elizabeth I, due to the city governors’ loyal to the crown during the prayer book rebellion in 1549. @WritingExeter
