100. To Iames Archbishop of Armagh.

Renowned Prelate, I nor know nor care
What secret vertue's in Saint Patricks Chayre;
If any; I dare boldly say, 'tis more
Since thou satst there, then ere it was before:
Goe on, great Patriarck; If thy higher Story
(As sure it will) shall drowne S. Patricks Glory:
Iberia will, (as now Iberia vaunts)
Be knowne, as well as cal'd, The Isle of Saints.
