On His Majesties most Gracious and Prudent Delivery of the Great Seal of England to the Right Honourable Sir HENEAGE FINCH Knight and Baronet His late AttornyGeneral . CEase , Cease , ( fond Age ) give over to complain : Leave off your murmurings , and griefs disdain . Papists , Fanaticks , all ill Sects must down , None but the pure must now approch the Crown . Our King like a wise Builder Now hath shown What Stones 't was fit to use , and what to own . Alas ! Great Kings and States must often do Things which necessities do urge them to ; But when those great necessities are past , The Sun shews forth its own true Beams at last . What Loyal Heart will not rejoyce to hear , That Loyalty runs once more regular ? ( Our Liberties are kept by Cavaleir . The Church secure , then who can fear a State , That h●th a Supporter so fortunate ? Wise , Just and Eloquent , but to express His many Vi●tues wou'd but make them less . He 's known so well , 't were needless to set forth , Or more to say , then that he 's ris'n by 's worth . His Praise most due , 't is folly to proclaim , All know his Praise who have but heard of 's Name , He wants no Character who 'th so much fame , Oh happy Seal , with such a trusty Friend ! May there be no divorse till life doth end ; May the Seal ne'r be superseeded here , Till Heaven commands the Keeper to come there : And may Heavens Messenger prove very slow In pity to us ; who are left below . The Church , the State , all must confess 't was fit To have the Seal for Finch , and him for it . No halting lines , none but true Eloquence Must be spoke here , or sent abroad from hence . No swelling State , must now o'relook our Head , The Keepers looks can strike a Province dead . Long may he live to give our King content , And be endeared to his Parliament May we n'er want to rule the Common-Weal A Stewart , or a Finch to keep the Seal . By a well wisher to King and Countrey .
