Concerning that proceed, which brought to pass
The Change, which lately here effected was,
Some scruplings have been made: But, on the Fact,
Or upon them who put the same in Act,
I'll nothing peremptorily declare,
Though therein, an Obliquity there were;
Because, means fail'd me, whereby to inspect,
Ought further, than into the single Act;
That, by the Circumstances I might see
What Motives to their hearts propos'd might be;
VVhat Spirit led them, and what streights they past
To that, which was resolved on at last:
For, in such Cases, what they ought to do,
Wise men are oft to seek, and good men too.
