a_o elegy_n upon_o the_o most_o ingenious_a mr._n henry_n care_n who_o depart_v this_o life_n on_o the_o eight_o day_n of_o august_n 1688._o and_o in_o the_o two_o and_o forty_o year_n of_o his_o age_n how_o the_o great_a care_n decease_a and_o not_o one_o verse_n drop_v by_o some_o muse_n on_o his_o lament_a hearse_n it_o can_v be_v all_o must_v his_o praise_n tell_v that_o do_v both_o write_n and_o live_v and_o die_v so_o well_o that_o maugre_o law_n and_o levites_n dare_v be_v good_a and_o in_o most_o crooked_a time_n most_o upright_o stand_v who_o all_o the_o tory_n curse_n can_v not_o draw_v from_o a_o adherance_n unto_o what_o he_o see_v will_v the_o true_a interest_n of_o his_o country_n be_v which_o be_v a_o well-established_n liberty_n in_o thing_n religious_a that_o none_o may_v have_v power_n his_o neighbour_n for_o his_o conscience_n to_o devour_v for_o when_o of_o late_a the_o churchman_n with_o high_a hand_n do_v persecute_v dissenter_n through_o the_o land_n and_o on_o pretence_n of_o their_o loud_a penal_a law_n make_v they_o a_o prey_n to_o the_o devour_a jaw_n of_o villainous_a informer_n who_o be_v then_o the_o king_n best_a subject_n style_v by_o those_o hot_a man_n care_n see_v and_o grieve_v to_o see_v what_o work_n they_o make_v and_o to_o divert_v they_o by_o his_o pen_n essay_v and_o do_v to_o peaceful_a counsel_n they_o incline_v but_o this_o alas_o be_v cross_n to_o their_o design_n which_o be_v for_o the_o dissenter_n ruin_n lay_v from_o which_o no_o argument_n can_v they_o persuade_v for_o his_o discern_v soul_n do_v then_o foresee_v those_o violence_n soon_o will_v fatal_a be_v unto_o themselves_o and_o gall_n and_o wormwood_n bring_v when_o once_o they_o be_v consider_v by_o the_o king_n this_o he_o remonstrate_v but_o all_o in_o vain_a dissenter_n than_o no_o favour_n can_v obtain_v but_o when_o great_a james_n into_o his_o royal_a thought_n the_o suffering_n of_o dissent_v subject_n bring_v and_o to_o the_o great_a rejoice_v of_o the_o nation_n do_v publish_v his_o most_o gracious_a declaration_n for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o set_v free_a dissenter_n from_o the_o churchmen_n tyranny_n then_o care_n do_v in_o heroiek_n number_n sing_v praise_n to_o god_n and_o thanks_o unto_o the_o king_n this_o be_v the_o joyful_a epocha_n from_o hence_o he_o see_v great_a britain_n glory_n will_v commence_v it_o be_v this_o he_o see_v that_o will_v the_o kingdom_n crown_n with_o wealth_n and_o honour_n riches_n and_o renown_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o nation_n restless_a foe_n so_o great_a a_o blessing_n do_v in_o print_n oppose_v he_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o declare_v how_o vain_a and_o groundless_a their_o pretence_n be_v and_o that_o such_o may_v have_v nothing_o leave_v to_o say_v he_o also_o publish_a his_o draconica_n and_o always_o as_o occasion_n do_v he_o urge_v he_o unto_o persecutor_n prove_v a_o scourge_n this_o he_o himself_o affirm_v to_o be_v his_o station_n but_o o_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n to_o the_o nation_n be_v snatch_v from_o hence_o even_o in_o his_o prime_n of_o year_n and_o leave_v all_o good_a man_n for_o his_o loss_n in_o tear_n his_o loss_n indeed_o be_v national_a we_o see_v and_o as_o his_o loss_n be_v shall_v our_o mourn_a be_v well_o may_v we_o drain_v whole_a river_n from_o our_o eye_n for_o we_o his_o matchless_a
