THE CONFINEMENT Of the SEVEN BISHOPS WHere is there Faith or Justice to be found Sure the World Trembles Nature's in a sound To see her Pious Sons Design'd to Fall A Victim for Religion Truth and All. The Charms of Piety are no Defence Against the New found Power that can Dispence With Laws to Murder Innocence Surely unless some Pittying God look down And stop the Threatning Torrent it will drown Divinity it Self The Bishops Prisoners are we tamely see The Reverend Prelats forc'd to Bow the Knee To Anti-Christ No Mighty Monarch know Tho' we must pay to Caesar what we Owe There is a Power Supreme by which You Live Whose Arm is longer and Prerogative Larger by far than Yours whose very Word Can blast Your Hopes and turn Your two edg'd Sword Can make this Titular Vice-gerent know Vertue like Palm's Deprest do's higher grow Tho' Roab'd in all the Grandure of the State Courtiers like Radient Stars about You wait Midst of Your Glorious Joys when You put on That Awful Presence which becomes a Throne Belshazzer like Three Words upon a Wall 'T will Dash Your Joys and make Your Glory Fall His Holyness That Patriot of Strife Tho' he can grant You Pardon cannot Life Arise then Mighty Sir in God-like Mean As of thy Valor Let thy Truth be Seen Free from Mistrust Let all Your Words be clear By Action Let Your Promises appear Protect the Church which brought You to the Crown You know 't is Great and Honourable to Own A Kindness done But to Reward with Death The Happy Instruments That gave You Breath Is mean and might a Catholick Conscience sting To cut the Hand of that Anoints You King.
