DECLARING The Kingdomes happinesse in their Councells , and their Iustice in their Consultations against Papists , Arminianisme and Popish superstition . WElcome ye Starres of England , whose bright beames Doth us illuminate , with the full streames Of Iustice , In whose sacred Brow we scan The height of equitie ; and truth of man . Whose Splendor doe so radiantly appeare Like fixed Starres within our Hemispheare And if the exub'rance of a word may swell So high , that Angells may be said to dwell Within your councells : Nothing sure can be Distill'd from you but meere Divinity . But stay ! why doe my sawcy pen transgresse 'Gainst modesty , in striving to expresse Your Panygericke , which the hearts of men Cannot conceive enough : How dare I then Presume audaciously now to expresse In you , renowned England's happinesse ? Pardon ( greate worthies ! ) pardon my poore Muse Which ( while all other Poet 's doe refuse This taske ) ambitious only is to bee In painting forth your sweet solemnity In your recesse how ev'ry heart did pray , Praying enquire , enquiring wish the day Of your returne and now you doe fulfill Their expectation , and God's holy will . Me thinkes I see each Subiect strive to come And then endeavour you to welcome home Vnto your sacred councell ; once begun , And ever shining as the splendent Sun . Blessed Astr●a●aignes within your minds : Within your hearts and constancie there finds A pious habitacle : firme faith now show's Your blest intent , and pietie your brow 's 'T is your returne , that makes our hearts to move With great alacritie , and greater love . 'T is your returne that makes men to rejoyce And caroll forth their joy's with heavenly voice T is your returne , that causeth us to singe Encomiums as from the Muses spring . 'T is your returne , that doth infuse my Quill With Poetrie , as from Parnassus Hill . And whatsoe're we doe , 't is your returne That causeth all our hearts in ioy to burne . For as Monopolers did heretofore Triumph , yet by your Iustice they deplore Their sad disastruous fortune : and the while Truth under your protection rightly smile When Bishops did exult , and made the poore Too servile , who their Lordships did adore Those , who did strive to trample o're the Crowne By your true Iustice are all tumbled downe . And Iudges likewise ( by whose false command Extortion raigned ev'n throughout this land ) By your heav'n-guided councells , and great power Doe most deservedly suspect the Tower . But England doe not labour any more Of these incendiaries , as before . Proceed , renowned Worthyes , then proceed And what in action is , perfect in deed . For ( loe ! ) the Kingdome wholly doth depend On you : who doe it piously defend . Behold , the Pope doth quake at your returne , And mourning feares , and fearing still doth mourne Which may he still continue , till he lyes Ship-wrack , in mourning , and so mourning dyes ! Behold ! the Papists tremble , and doe feare Extreamely , and soe sinke into dispaire . Which may they sinke into ! For now I hope No more respect shall be given to the Pope . Behold ! Armineans tumble every where And now are struck with repercussive feare . Which may they still be struck with ! For I doubt They 'l be expell'd , and banished without . Behold ! The Priests of Baal , Atheists And Iesuites , with other Popish Priests Lament their fortunes : for in you they see Nothing but Iustice , and true equitie . You have deliv'red us from all the hands Of these , and more , yea from the Devills bands . We will not therefore so ungratefull seeme Your sacred Iustice e're to dis-esteeme : But to extoll , and celebrate your fames And pious honours , as perpetuall names , Which never shall be out of memorie Razed , but kept unto eternity : Witnesse those prayers , which we dayly make , For your security , and councell's s●ke . Each man prepares his mirth , each man salutes Your blest returne , and each man disputes Of your renowned equity , which finds An habitation in all severall minds . This land triumphs in you alone ( great Peeres . ) Who have absolved us from all our feares . Oh let the Sun-shine of your vertues then Illustrate all the joyfull hearts of men ! And let the influence of your great power The Gospell's mortall enemies devoure . For your securitie we dayly pray That true Religion never may decay But re-erected by your equitie May flourish to all perpetuitie . And that the Church of God may never more Be dis-respected still as heretofore . But govern'd by your consultations May shine throughout all other Nations . Thus doe all things by you securely stand , And thus all things doe flourish in our land . By you the branches of Relig'on grow , By you the Rivers of the Gospell flow . In you we doe receive a blessed station , In you we have a heav'nly contemplation . With you true Iustice flourisheth aright . With you and good Relig'on shineth bright . From you this Iland doe receive a blisse From you , a blessing , not a Iudas kisse . To you be therefore glory , and great praise To you we yeeld the Olive , and the Bayse . By , in , with , from you we receive all joy : To you be Honour : which you shall enjoy . Vestra Deus dirigat concilia . FINIS .
