The malignants trecherous and bloody plot...

I don't know how much time I'm allowed with the Thomason tracts, so I'm going to rely on EEBO for later work on this. The scan is relatively good, except for the bottom lines.

For the panel labeled "St. James," the bottom lines read:
Shall once prevaile to roote out Iſraels name Iſa: 63.1
Sion or'e Conquered heaps shall Victory proclayme.
This is Entred according to order and ſould by Io. Hancock.
For the panel labeled "ye King's Army," the bottom lines read:

Dagon ſhall fall, and Ashod, men ſhall flee
Nought is their gaine, but woefull payne and miſery 
For the panel labeled "ye Covenant," the bottom lines read:

Theire Native Rights, their Lawes and Liberty
Subdud their Necks to th'iron Yoke of Slavery.
For the panel labeled "ye Execution," the bottom lines read: 
Their Soules with God, their Blood for Vengeance cryes
Corruption turnes there Corys to droſse.
The Resurrection ſhall that loſse
Returne with gayne, and wipe their watry Eyes
And ſhall for aye with vengreance pay their Enimyes
