I know what Changes are now menaced,
Yet, I'll attend them without servile dread.
Let all those do the like, who have took part
In this Republicks Cause with single heart;
For, though, if he who doth our Peace prolong,
Should follow those, who heretofore went wrong,
To make them prosp'rous in their undertakings,
Who may be mark'd out by their cursed speakings,
(Their malice, slanders, and scurrilities
Their great delight and confidence in Lies.)
They must endure the sharpest blast that blew
Within this Climate, since the world they knew;
GOD, will vouchsafe them his assisting grace
To bear it stoutly when it comes to pass,
And, put a signal difference, between
Those that have honest, and unfaithful been.
