it Well With these ingredients were the Countreys all Poyson'd and fool'd and aw'd while they did call Themselves the Cities or the Counties and Do in their names what they ne'r understand Or hear of These did that old Dry-bone call Up to the Throne if he were call'd at all And vow'd to live and dye with him and then Address'd to Dick and vow'd the same agen And so to Rump but these vowes were no more Then what they vow'd to Essex long before And so perform'd they dy'd alike with all Yet liv'd on unconcerned in their fall So as these Corks might swim at top they ne'r Car'd what the liquor was that them did bear These taught the easie people prone to sin And ready to imbibe ill customes in To betray trusts to break an Oath and Word Things that th' old English Protestants abhorr'd And lest these Kingdoms should hereafter be Took for inchanted Islands where men see Nothing but Devils haunt as if God and All virtuous people had for sook the land And left it to these Monsters these took care To make us match and mix our bloud with their Polluted issue and so do as when Gods sons did take the daughters once of men To fright men into this they did begin To decimate them for Orig'nal Sin Children that were unborn in those mad times And unconcern'd in what they Voted crimes If guilty of Estates were forc'd to pay The tenth to those who took nine parts away The Law was made a standing pool and grew Corrupt for want of current thence a crew Of monstrous Animals out daily crawl'd Who little knew but impudently ball'd And made the Law the Eccho of the Sword With such lew'd Cattel were the Benches stor'd That made the Gown ridiculous Now and then The Malefactors were the wiser men Most times the honester these did dispence And rack the Laws ' gainst equity and sence Which way the Buff would have them turn by which They long continued powerful and Rich. Now they 'l all wheel about and be for you For like Camaelions they still change their hue And look like that that 's next them they will vow Their hearts were alwaies for you and are now 'T is no new Wit 't is in a Play we know Who would not wish you King now you are so Yet you can pardon all for you have more Mercy and love than they have crimes in store And you can love or pity them which none But you could do you can their persons own And with unconquer'd patience look on them Because your Nature knows not to condemn You 'll let them live and by your grace convince Their treach'rous hearts that they have wrong'd a Prince Whom God and Angels love and keep whose mind Solely to love and mercy is inclin'd Whom none but such as they would hurt or grieve And none but such as you could e'r forgive Such men and crimes Those feathers ne'rtheless Pluck'd from your Subjects backs their own to dress Should be repluck'd or else they should restore They 'll still be left Crows as they were before But if you trust them And now you are returned to your Realm May you sit long and stedfastly at th' Helm And rule these head-strong people may you be The true Protector of our Libertie Your wisdome only answers th' expectation Of this long injur'd now reviving Nation May true Religion flourish and increase And we love virtue as the ground of peace May all pretences outward forms and shewes Whereby we have been gull'd give way for those True act of pure religious and may we Not only seem religious but be Of taking Oathes may you and we be shy Bâ—t being ta'ne think no necessity Oâ— power can make us break them may we ne'r Make wilful breach of promises nor e'r Basely betray our trusts but strive to be Men both of honour and of honestie And may those only that are just and true Be alwa eâ— honour'd and imploy'd by you Next let our sacred Laws in which do stand The wealth the peace and safety of our Land be kept inviolable and never made Nets to the small while the great Flies evade May those that are intrusted with them be Men of sound knowledge and integrity And sober courage such as dare and will And can do Justice We have felt what ill Comes by such Clarks and Judges as have been For favour faction or design put in Without respect to Merit who have made The Law to Tyrants various lusts a Bawd Perverted Justice and our Rights have sold And Rulers have been over-rul'd by Gold Then are the people happy and Kings too When they that are in power are good and doe On these two Bases let our peace be built So firm and lasting that no bloud be spilt No Countrey wasted and no treasure spent While you and yours do reign no future rent Disturb your happiness but may we strive Each in his sphere to make this Nation thrive Grow plentiful and pow'rful and become The Joy or Terror of all Christendome And those who lately thought themselves above us May spite of fate or tremble at or love us May no incroaching spirit break the hedge Between Prerogative and Priviledge And may your sacred Majesty enjoy Delights of Mind and Body that ne'r cloy Not only be obey'd but lov'd at home Prais'd and admir'd by all that near you come And may your Royal Fame be spread as far As valiant and as virtuous people are And when you 're Majesty shall be inclin'd To bless your Realms with heirs oh may you find A Spouse that may for Beauty Virtue Wit And royal birth be for your person fit May you abound in hopeful heirs that may Govern the Nations and your Scepters sway Till time shall be no more and pledges be Both of your love and our felicity May you live long and happily and find No pains of body and no griefs of mind While we with loyal hearts Rejoyce and Sing God bless your Kingdoms and God save our KING THE END A Catalogue of some Books Printed for H.
