Meditatio Regalis De Curiæ Conjurationibus.
Ejaculatio Spiritualis In Curiæ Conjurationes.
Eccles. 1. 14.
I have seen all the Works that are done under the Sun, and behold all is Vanity and Vexation of Spirit.
Psal. 58. 6.
Break their teeth O God in their Mouth:
Meditatio Regalis.
The Life of ManIs but a Span,
That endeth like a Taper.
A Royal Crown
May tumble down:
Promotion's but a Vapour.
Ejaculatio Spiritualis.
Since thine's the Right,(Withal my might)
Good God, I unto thee,
Both me, and mine;
Do all resign;
But only stand for me.
27
Meditatio.
The Church doth moan,The State doth groan,
And no man knows the Reason.
The Court doth cry
Conspiracy;
The Country eccho's Treason.
Ejaculatio.
Iscariots,And and all their Plots,
Lord frustrate: and deliver
Both me, and all
Who on thee call;
That thou may'st reign for ever.
Meditatio.
Strength, Wit, and Wealth,Beauty, and Health,
Are all but Shaddowes flying:
Ther's none that's sure
To live one Hour;
Our whole Lif's but a dying.
Ejaculatio.
In Earth, and Heaven,All Power is given,
Lord Jesus unto thee;
28
Own thou my right;
My Sword, and Safe-guard be.
Meditatio.
Our Life doth run,Below the Sun,
Ther's nothing that abideth;
'Tis here to day;
But flies away;
And in a Moment fadeth.
Ejaculatio.
Let Justice reign,The Gospel shine,
Faith, Truth, and Mercy be
Our aim; that all
(What e'r befal)
May Center'd be in thee.
