A PANEGYRIC TO His Royal Highness.  
Upon His MAJESTY'S late DECLARATION.  
Especially drawn from Unio Dissidentium Page 2. Part 14. Page 3. Part 3. Page 4. Part 3. and 4.  

OF a Just King, 
Eccl. 8.4.  the Powerful Words declare  
Great James Presumptive and Apparent Heir:  
(The words betoken one and selfsame Thing:  
Though some, Them would under distinction bring)  
Such Declaration, Henry Third of France  
Wisely made use of, 
906. F●. G●●▪ H●st. 881.  when some began advance  
Pretensive Heirs, Fourth Henry to displace,  
(A lawful Heir, though much remote in Race.)  
Such Declaration by both kings must be,  
An Act impulsed by Divine Decree,  
What good effects from first of these did flow,  
The gallic Chronicles at large do show:  
Checked Henry after Care and War became  
Eternally great in his Fame and Name.  
Great Duke in this Declarement acquiesce,  
In sweet repose and rest thyself possess.  
This heavenly opening of thy Brother's Breast,  
(With all due Reverence be it expressed,)  

Math. 3.16.17.  Hath likeness unto that in Sacred Text.  
Save that a Brother's owned in stead of Son,  
What more than this can in the Case be done?  
Who dare henceforth this Kingly Act gainsay,  
Who dare against Thy Royal Highness bray,  
Surely the Mouths of the Tumultuous Crew,  
Are stopped, or else to Means we bid Adieu,  
Where a King's word is, There is Power, (so saith  
The Sacred Writ on which we ground our Faith.)  
Henceforth of just necessity must cease  
Those Clamours which so much disturb Thy peace,  
Henceforth no Voyage over British Seas,  
Or cold Retirement under Scotch Degrees  
Needst thou to take, but still abide where Birth  
Thou first receiv'dst (passing time in Mirth)  
By Sovereign beloved, by Friends carest,  
Revered by all, and by the Heavens blest,  
Exactly making good that Expectation,  
Of being mighty Pillar to this Nation:  
A Stay of State, a strong supporting Prop,  
Ordained to Scale the Point of Honour's top:  
Long since foretold of Thee, as we may see  
At large expressed in day Fatality.  
Nor canst be spared from Serene Charles his side.  
Being active vigilant, helpful to Guide  
Affairs of State by land as well as Sea,  
For last of which none more renown●d can be,  
Let Arragon her Testimonial give,  
And Thy Dutch Victory in Sixty five.  
Which higgon's muse hath so inspir'dly sung.  

See the Fatality.  Making Thee Neptunes Hero's chief among.  

Ashmold Ga●ter p. 119.  None may so well th●t glorious Motto claim,  
Of being terror of the Ocean main,  
(Which Lovis did for Michael's Knights ordain.  
As once a Servant of King Edward's went  
With Royal Cup his Master to present,  
One foot did trip; being quick he did prevent  
With the other leg the Fall) Godwin of Kent,  
Laughing, said to the King, Even thus, one Brother  
We see is ready still to help another.  
The King replied, Just so might Alphred me,  
But, That removed by base Treachery.  
The Belgic Sheaf and Aesop's Moral Teach,  
Betwixt own Brothers there should be no Breach.  
The Scripture says, 
Psal. 133.1.  They must together dwell,  
Union's their Heaven, Disunion's their Hell.  
Unworthy are They, 
Pro. 6 4.19.  whosoever they are  
Fraternal Union to break that dare.  
Then in despite of such as would disjoiyne  
Your persons, live together says Eloign.  
When men are absent, their back friends dare say  
And do those things which else they'd ne'er essay;  
Divide & Impera we may English make,  
First separate, and then Advantage take.  
Long live Great Prince, who not desirest to see.  
Thy Liege's Funeral Solemnity,  
But guided by an equal and just Soul,  
Humbly submit'st unto Divine control,  
Nor dost expect, but stay to see the Fate,  
Ordained above, Signed from Eternal Date.  
We read of Lovis a Montpensier Peer, 
Gen. H●st. Fram. 792▪   
Who through his Father had been dead 5 year,  
Yet took such Grief at seeing of his Grave,  
As did straight after him of life bereave;  
Even just so, James we may expect to Die,  
When Charles submits to mortal Destiny:  
Gods wondrous hand, after a long Exile,  
Them hand in hand brought back to Native Isle,  
When wisest men estee●ed their state forlorn,  
They saw them stated in the Land where Born;  
A strange agreement they have underwent,  
Sometimes of Bliss, sometimes of Discontent:  
Why may not then Fraternal Sympathy  
Cooperate to dying Harmony?  
When thinking what they've suffered in times past,  
One can't endure the other to outlast;  
But as they've lived together so to die,  
May be their Fate ordained by God on high;  
The possibility of this is no doubt, 
Weav. mon. p. 598.   
By various Authors we may make it out.  
Let 'em both live until they have outdone,  
That Age which David calls a wondrous one; 
Ps. 90, 10. in metro.   
That Royal Prophet whose Afflictions were  
So great, and with which James his may compare.  
Those Clouds are cleared, the Sun is now braced out,  
His Brother's Rays encompass him about;  
Apollo's Rays, 
See the Swans Weilcourt p. 4.  That can alone dispel  
All fumes and vapours though exhaled from Hell;  
Those Rays late issued from the Declaration,  
Forever making Calm and Still the Nation.   
Abs-hinc Aethereas cessans volitare per aur as  
(Optatus) placidae Tutus adesto Domi,  
Audent absentis nonnulli rodere famam,  
Cum fuerit praesens ora reclusa tenent:  
Est inimica cohors. Dux inclite Cominus esto  
Si forsan fueris Eminus ista ferit.
