SUch and so great, all mans Corruption is In shunning Good, and running to Amisse: That the Almighty, did long since ordaine Lawes, that should our rebellious wils restraine. And from that Parlament, of highest Heaven A Statute, and an Ordinance was given, That from those Lawes of the Eternall King, All other Lawes (that governe men) should spring. And as the Sea in Rivers, Creekes and Bayes, Flowes, and disperses many severall wayes: So doth Gods Acts in many Branches run, To shew us what should be undone, or done. For this cause did the power of Heaven ordaine, That Kings (like Gods) on Earth should Rule and Raigne: To Judge, to be a Refuge, and Defence With Right, of too much wronged Innocence. And for this cause, God doth a King command, That he his Lawes should Read* and understand. And sure, of All the Kingdomes that there are Beneath the Heavens, none may with us compare: To us th'Almighty, graciously did grant Freely his Sacred Gospell heere to plant, Making Great Brittaine an Admired mirror, (When other Nations blindly live in Error.) For us a matchles King, he out did picke, Defendor of the Faith Apostolicke, Who all his Lawes and Statutes doth encline, Conformable unto the Lawes Divine. Gods Law in every faithfull heart* is writ, And our Kings Government doth witnes it. And now these Eighteene yeares a blessed Peace, Hath made our sinnes (more then our thankes) increase, That breach of Lawes, hath sowen neglected seedes, Being almost growne unprofitable weedes: Our Gracious King, these evils to prevent, Assembled hath a Royall Parlament. The high Creator, made this Kingly Creature His Steward, by his Office, Name, and Nature, And he doth guide and Rule this happy Land, As he is guided by th'Almighties hand. And though a King hath Honour and Renowne, Yet many Cares attend upon a Crowne: And though a King a Royall port doth keepe, Yet doth he wake, when Subjects often sleepe. And had not our dread Soveraigne, bin protected By the Almighty, who hath him directed, Wee could not have enjoyed such Peace and Rest, Wherewith so many yeares wee have bin blest. And as hee now hath caus'd a Parlament, God still be present there, and President: Let the Kings heart as it hath done persever, That God may have the Glory, now and ever. (Like David) let him not from goodnes start, But bee a man according to Gods heart. Let Solomons great Wisdome ever bee In him, that Good from Ill he may fore-see: *Deu. 17. 15 *Heb. 8. 10.
Let him with Josua's courage (Constantly) The Devill, the world, and eke the Flesh defie. And let him (like to Moses) ever write, And ordaine Lawes that may be Just and Right. Like faithfull Hushaies* be his Counsell still, To give Advice according to thy will. Guide thou the Reverend Bishops, and the Peeres, The Judges, and elected Knights, of Shires, And Burgesses of Townes within this Land, Doe thou (O God) amidst their Counsell stand. Let all their Consultations, still depend To beate downe Vice, and Vertue to defend: Thy Gospell to increase and propagate, And for the Good of Common-wealth and State. The Pride of Haman, farre from them expell, Confound the Counsell of Achitophell: Plucke Heresies up by the very Roote, And tread proude Antichrist quite underfoote. Banish Ghehezy, leaprous with base Bribes, Papisticke Pharises, Sophisticke Scribes: And those that wholsome Lawes can wrest and wring, For gaine 'gainst Conscience, Country, and their King. Thus being guided by thy blessed Spirit, They will accomplish Statutes worthy merit: That after Ages gladly may Receive The Acts, and Orders, which our times must leave. Let Prince, and Peeres, and people thus Combine, The profit will bee ours, the Glory thine: And as thy Blessings hath bin multiplyde Upon our Kingdome, let them still abide: Let not our Sinnes as a partition bee, Or make us be as castawayes to thee. Let no tour Crimes thy Indignation move, Whereby they may us seperate from thy Love: But as thy favours to Us have bin such, As never any Kingdome had so much, So let our thankfulnes to thee therefore, Bee every day expressed more and more. Protect the King with thy Almighty Armes, Save him from Forraine and Domesticke harmes: At all times with thy heavenly Grace relieve him, And after Death a Crowne of Glory give him. Preserve for evermore, our gracious Prince, And strength him, his and thy Foes to convince, The Prince and Princesse Palatines high Grace, With all the Royall and the hopefull Race: Defend them Against all that them oppose, And fight their Battels still against their Foes. Grant that of this Seed we may ne're want one, To magnifie thy Name in Britaines Throne: Untill our Saviour, and thy onely Sonne, Shall come in Judgement, and the world be done. To whom with thee and with the Holy Ghost, Bee rendred (everywhere from Coast to Coast) All Honour, Glory, Power, Might, Praise, Thanks-giving, To thee three Persons, one GOD, ever-living. *2. Sam. 17.
