AN HUMBLE ADVICE TO His Sacred Majesty , Anent the Drawing of LONDONS CHARTER . By a SCOTTISH Pen. DRead SIR , You still was Good , but now most Great ; Ye now do Reign in Majestie and State : Your unsheath'd Sword of Justice hath done more , Than all the Kings of England did before , By Strength , and force of Armes ; Yea , it is strange , There 's not a drop of Blood spilt in this Change : A Wonder SIR , like to Your coming Home , To see R●bellion Buried in it's Tomb ; Which lately Roar'd and Rag'd in every Bench , In Street , in Coffee-house : then let the French , And other Monarchs , Vail their Capes to Thee , Who Rules by Laws , and not by Tirranie : But since they thus , are at YOUR Royal Feet , Crying Peccavi , and humblie do Intreat Your Grace and Favour , Pray You take Advice , Compose their CHARTER , as the Heavens do Ice , To last no longer then it is Your Pleasure . Clip YOU their Wings , not they the Wings of Caesar : And left that they , and their Pesteritie , Turn wanton , and abuse YOUR Clemencie ; Let that their CHARTER , bear this special Clause , That these who slight Authoritie , or Laws ; Or vent Seditious words , may breed mischief , Shall never taste Bag-pudden , nor Rost-bief , Nor Pig , nor Pork , nor Powthered-bief and Cabbage , But Brownest-bread , Boyl'd-beans , and such like Baggage And that but once a Day , to save their Life ; Conform to Hen 8. Statute . This is the way to keep them free of Strife : And since their Patience was Impertinent , Let Patience be their sole Medicament . FINIS .

Edinburgh , Printed by the Heir of Andrew Anderson , Printer to His most Sa cred Majesty , Anno DOM 1683.
