Vpright Iudge.
VVith grauitie and with indifference,
Thou equally dost Iudge all things in right
With Iust sealed waightes, & with an euen ballance,
Thou waiyest causes in the publique sight,
Of all the world not tendring bribe or fee,
Which shewes the feare of God to stand in thee.

Which shewes the feare of God to stand in thee.
The Heauens maker and the earthly Kings,
Hauing respect to that thy Godly care:
For trewly waying all vnequall things,
Haue plac'd thee in a princely seat full rare.
Which place of their owne persones destitute,
They haue appointed thee to execute.

Allowing thee not onely worldly substance,
For thy aduancement fore the face of men,
But honorable tytle and preheminence,
Ouer all other people where and when
Different Causes are to be decided,
That by thy wisdome all may well be giuded.

A swell in Controuersies and debates,
As in disorders toward King and land,
Comitted by outragious runagates,
Rebellious Traytours or any other man,
Thy golden wisdome is with grace enamelld,
Wherefore we craue thee here to be inpannel'd.
