To the most Illustrious and Serene PRINCE , His Royal Highness , Welcom , Great PRINCE , the most August in Name , Important Time did ever bring to Fame . Live ever Crown'd with Merit of Renown ; Long may You live , and see the World Your Own. In After-Times may Crowns of Bliss attend You ; And may the Lord of Life ( the Lamb ) Defend You ; May Righteousness Espouse You , Glories End You. Happiest of PRINCES , all Good Mens Delight ! Excelling Virtues shine in You most bright ; Noble in Blood , but Nobler far in Mind ; Religion groans to be by You refin'd : Your Safe Protection She implores with Tears ; Put Her not off , till You redress Her Fears . Rescue Her from the Toyls of Babel's Whore ; Insulting Rome bring prostrate on the Floor . Nip France's Pride , Pull Hell's Great Lewis down ; Confound his Glory , and Debase his Crown : Enquire into the Time ; for it is Now , Old Antichrist must to the Christian bow . Fight then , Great SIR , Christ's Cause , His Faith defend ; Observe His Laws , and on His Word depend : Raise up His Standard , and proclaim His War ; Accept the Guardian Sword of Eighty's Star. None shall Oppose and Prosper , but shall Fall. Greatly confide in GOD , whose Armies shall Extirpate the False Prophet , Beast and All. Assume the Titles which await Your Brow , Not such as Potentates do covet Now. Dispose Your Self Protector for to be , Not of Baal's Legions , but Protestancie . Accelerate Your Gideonick Force ; Steer to the Kingdom void of all Remorse : Secure under Heav'ns Banner You shall Fight , And Vanquish Them ; yea , put them all to Flight , Where they shall perish in Eternal Night . Protector of the Protestant Religion throughout the World.

LONDON , Printed for Thomas Salusbury , at the Sign Of the Temple neat Temple-Bar . 1683.
