A Congratulatory Poem Dedicated to His MAJESTY , On the Late Gracious Declaration . By a Person of Quality . THe Gallick King to whom his Subjects raise Admired Trophe's of their awful Praise , His highest Epithite must now resign , Since , of all Monarchs , Ours is most Divine . His Sep'ratists he would compel by Arms , Whilst You win Yours by Force of Pious Charms . This rigid Sects do sev'rally Confess And , Calm'd their Temper , your Indulgence Bless . These who before did Kingship disallow , Your powerful Grace has chang'd to Converts Now. Their restless Souls so Sacredly you ease , As they 're Oblig'd to blame their past Disease : And Taxe their Hearts , and the Secluding Bill , Because against your Conscience cheifly Ill. Who 'll not expect that next their Souls should pay , Homage unto their King the nearest Way : And Judge the Liberty that he hath Given , Ought to Invite their Union unto Heaven . The Atheist who would Providence Distrust , Or that Heavens Care Preserves , and aids the Just , Must , for your sake , his stupid Sin disown , And see how Wonders rais'd You to a Throne . Through Seas and Perils , and worst Storms of State , Heaven was your Guide to Vanquish Total Fate : And but such Temp'ral Sufferings did Convey , That you might Merit an Immortal Way . Your Sacred Gifts stupendiously Improve At once your Subjects Piety and Love : Who now their former Tenents so Subdue , As they Judge ( more then ever ) Your Faith True . The Factious Patrons that Pretensions draw From hardest Sense of the disputed Law ; Must soon concede , that by a kinder Claim , Prerogative deserves a Legal Fame . This Test , Great Sir , so candidly has past , As 't is hop'd to'ther 't will revoke at Last ; For who will not obsequiously Undo , An Inconvenience when Condemn'd by You. Well may this Powerful Motive Votes abate , Whose Fervors else must needs Perplex the State . Nor ever did Just Soveragin Law Restrain , But for Redress which Subjects thence Obtain : And tells how safe Our King we might Obey , Had we no other Law than what He 'd Say .
