And on distrest of anie Neighbour stands.

HIS banish'd Foes, he pleasantlie recepts,
Though they were Hethnish Worshippers of gods:
Taught thame the Trueth, and tenderlie Intreats,
O're Tirrannie, Triumphantlie he trode.
And all his owne State-crosses he conjures,
The common Weell, from Cumber, so secures.
