The weather-Cocke vpon the steeple standing
And with his sharpe eye all about commanding,
Heard their contention, wil'd them to appeale
To him the Chiefe of all that Common-weale.
Told them that he was set to Ouersee
And to appease, to guide and to agree
All diff'rence in that place; and whatso'ere
He setteth downe from Iustice cannot erre.
For from the winde he information takes
Which searcheth through the world, & swiftly makes
A true suruay of euery proofe and cause,
And doth of Reason know the ground, and lawes.
He bids them boldly speake, and bring their pleas,
And hee'le define th'infallible truth with ease.
