Rangs, and has begane his Rang in Scotland, the Yeer 1567. and over all Britan, &c. the Yeer 1603. now with all Reigning this Year 1625.

Wise matchles Monarch whome the World admires,
And God aboue hes Beavtefied and Blest,
With Plentifull, and full of Pow'r Impires,
Past Reasons reatche, (and yet thy Right) with Rest:
Incress thy Crouns, and with thy Courage clame,
Prophaned Judas, and Jerusalem.
BRING that to pass, that Pietie expects,
Rise and Erotte the Errors of the East:
The force of Faeth, from greater Facts effects,
Nor beat doune Babell and debell the Beast:
That with her Errors all the Earth enchannts,
That soukis the Blood that snares and slayes the Sancts,

AND since you haue all Happines from Heaven,
Good Gracious King, a great and glorious Sage:
In Earth all Greatnes, and all Graces gevne,
Give us againe a Good and Golden Age:
And mack us by the Greatnes of thy Grace,
Thy Loyal Lieges Parteners of thy Peace.
