THE Subjects Ioy , For the Parliament .

IACOBVS REX .

SVch 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 Heauen A Statute , and an Ordinance was giuen , That from those Lawes of the Eternall King , All other Lawes ( that gouerne men ) should spring . And as the Sea in Riuers , Creekes and Bayes , Flowes , and disperses many seuerall wayes : So doth Gods Acts in many Branches run , To shew vs what should be vndone , or done . For this cause did the power of Heauen ordaine , That Kings ( like Gods ) on Earth should Rule and Raigne : To Iudge , 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 * * Deu. 17. 15 and vnderstand . And sure , of All the Kingdomes that there are Beneath the Heauens , none may with vs compare : To vs th' Almighty , graciously did grant Freely his Sacred Gospell heere to plant , Making Great Brittaine an Admired mirror , ( When other Nations blindly liue in Error . ) For vs a matchles King , he out did picke , Defendor of the Faith Apostolicke , Who all his Lawes and Statutes doth encline , Conformable vnto the Lawes Diuine . Gods Law in euery faithfull heart * * Heb. 8. 10. is writ , And our Kings Gouernment 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 vnprofitable weedes : Our Gracious King , these euils to preuent , 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 vpon a Crowne : And though a King a Royall port doth keepe , Yet doth he wake , when Subject ; often sleepe . And had not our dread Soueraigne , bin protected By the Almighty , who hath him directed , Wee could not haue enioyed such Peace and Rest , Wherewith so many yeares wee haue 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 perseuer , That God may haue the Glory , now and euer . ( Like Dauid ) let him not from goodnes start , But bee a man according to Gods heart . Let Salomons great Wisdome euer bee In him , that Good from Ill he may fore-see : Let him with Iosua's courage ( Constantly ) The Deuill , the world , and eke the Flesh defie . And let him ( like to Moses ) euer write , And ordaine Lawes that may be Iust and Right . Like faithfull Hushaies * * 2 Sam. 15. be his Counsell still , To giue Aduice according to thy will . Guide thou the Reuerend Bishops , and the Peeres , The Iudges , 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 Ahitophell : Plucke Heresies vp by the very Roote , And tread proude Antichrist quite vnder foote . Banish 〈◊〉 , 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 Receiue The Acts , and Orders , which our times must leaue . Let Prince , and Peeres , and people thus Combine , The profit will bee ours , the Glory thine : And as thy Blessings hath bin multiplyde Vpon our Kingdome , let them still abide : Let not our Sinnes as a partition bee , Or make vs be as castawayes to thee . Let not our Crimes thy Indignation moue , Whereby they may vs seperate from thy Loue : But as thy fauours to Vs haue bin such , As neuer any Kingdome had so much , So let our thankfulnes to thee therefore , Bee euery day expressed more and more . Protect the King with thy Almighty Armes , Saue him from Forraine and Domesticke harmes : At all times with thy heauenly Grace relieue him , And after Death a Crowne of Glory giue him . Preserue for euermore , our gracious Prince , And strength him , his and thy Foes to conuince , 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 : Vntill our Sauiour , and thy onely Sonne , Shall come in Iudgement , and the world be done . To whom with thee and with the Holy Ghost , Bee rendred ( euery where from Coast to Coast ) All Honour , Glory , Power , Might , Praise , Thanks-giuing , To thee three Persons , one GOD , euer-liuing . FINIS . Iohn Taylor
