I think it was definitely a political propoganda. A few things jumped out at me while I read....just to list a few:
Pg. 2215 - The Careful Devil is still at hand with means/ And providently pimps for ill desires/ The Good old cause revived a Plot requires./ Plots, true or false, are necessary things,/ To raise up comonwealths and ruin kings.
- This refers to the issues with the Popish Plot and the fears of the Catholic Church overthrowing government as a whole.
Pg. 2217 - So several factions from this first ferment/ work up to foam, by their friends, more by themselves thought wise,/ opposed the power to which they could not rise.
-Once again a referral to the Popish Plot.
