The KINGS Bench Prisoners Thanks To His Majesty , for their Late Deliverance By His Maiesties Most Gratious Act. GReat and Dread Sir Late Prisoners Write to show , That you have made us Debtors , now we owe Far more then ever , since you did us free As Israelites from Aegypts Cruelty . This is a Debt , which we can never pay , Unless your Majesty find out some way , Wherein our service may our thanks explain , Willing to dye for such a Soveraign : This Act surpasseth Alexanders plause , Your Scepter swaying the too rigid Laws , Ingratitude is base in every sence , Our lives or fortunes cannot recompence This most Heroick Act in setting free Distressed Subjects from Calamity . Worthy of note you free us first , and then By gratitude you fix us fast agen . Like to the Bird 's pen'd up within a Cage , Just so were we clos'd in an Iron Age ; Till your most Gratious Key unlock'd the dore Commanding that which was deny'd before . Almost incredible without a fee ; This was a Type of Sacred Dignity . Sure we can ne're forget so good a King , Like Sapho's Bird , your praise we 'l always sing . And thus conclude ; wishing our hope prevails , God send succession in a Prince of Wales . By William Cragmile . Phar :
