A Copy of Verses Presented TO His Royal Higness , AT THE Lord Biship of SALISBVRY's ; ON Monday the 15th . of this Instant September , 1684. To the Illustrious and High Born Prince , Iames , Duke of York , and George Prince of Denmarke . WElcome great Princes to our Trades-men all , Welcome to Loyalty whether great or small ; To witness which , we 'll let you know Our Lives &c. for Loyalty shall go : Blessed be God ; the Nation 's now in peace again , And Fanaticks once more turn Loyal men . Now may our King , and Princes a Progress go , God still defend them , and Confound their Foe . Heavens bless the King and Royal Family to ; And prosper all what e're they have to do ; And suffer not the Unhallowed Heart and Hand , Any more to prosper ; which durst command The Sons of Belial further for to Plot , Or Sallamanca like , Sweare they know not what ; To take the lives of Loyal men away , By seeing from St. Omers hither in a Day : Denying honesty , proud with Malice grow , Regard not Others but to the Devil go , Thinking t' is no sin to spill the guiltless Blood Tho ne're so Loyal and in their places good . Faith and Allegiance they did not Spare , Nor Conscience make to pull him from his Chair Thus did the Villains think for to be great Making Religion the ground of all their Cheat They thought quite to blot out Prince James's Name , Who was a Hero to all where e're he came . But Justice soon found them out , and at last Destroyed their Hellish Counsels with a Blast : And the Damn'd Rebells brought to shame , Who might have lived in Honour and in Fame , Blessed be God some are already dead , Tho others from Justice they are Fled : Who dare not blame hard Fate or Destiny , But willfull rebellion Rewarded with Misery . Thus have Loyalty and Justice all their Plots out-don , O're turnd their Counsels , and made the Traytors Run . Rotten members must be lopt of for feare Of doing further harm , whilst they are here . Gentle forbearance making Traytors to offend , And doth but Strength to all Phanaticks lend : Which makes them still expect their acts of Grace , To thrust their Soveraigne out of his place . Go Traiterous Martirs go , go and tell Your horrid plots unto the damn'd in hell : There Address , Associate , and for liberty call To your old Achitophell , Belzebub , Lucifer and all The Damn'd Crew — Confounded be all such that seek their Princes Woe , Lord cut thm off , or work their Ovethrow .
