<L>Heaven does di&s;po&s;e of; Tis not Theirs, nor Mine,</L>
<L>But His by whom <HI>KINGS</HI> Rule, and are Divine.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I Repre&s;ent the <HI>KING</HI> of <HI>KINGS</HI> who gave,</L>
<L>The <HI>Crown,</HI> the <HI>Sword,</HI> the <HI>Scepter;</HI> What I have;</L>
<L>I am <HI>God's Servant,</HI> not the Peoples Slave.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Their <HI>Frantick Votes,</HI> and <HI>Mad Re&s;olves</HI> I hate:</L>
<L>I know a better way to Heal a <HI>STATE,</HI></L>
<L>Than to <HI>Sin Ra&s;hly,</HI> and <HI>Repent too late.</HI></L>

<L>Bid them be gone <HI>F.</HI> They are Damn'd Uncivil,</L>
<L>To oblidge Me to follow them to th'Divil,</L>
<L>To Save Three Kingdoms I will not do evil.</L>

<L>They &s;han't <HI>Cramp Ju&s;tice</HI> with their Feigned Flaws;</L>
<L>For &s;ince I Govern only by the <HI>LAWS;</HI></L>
<L>Why <HI>They</HI> &s;hould be Exempt, <HI>I</HI> &s;ee no Cau&s;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>To the <HI>LAWS</HI> They mu&s;t Submit; 'tis in vain</L>
<L>E're to Attempt to &s;hake off tho&s;e again:</L>
<L>For where <HI>CHARLES</HI> Commands, There mu&s;t <HI>Ju&s;tice</HI> Reign.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When the <HI>Peoples Father</HI> does E&s;pou&s;e the <HI>LAW,</HI></L>
<L>All tho&s;e who <HI>Subjects</HI> from their Duty draw,</L>
<L>Do <HI>Viper-like,</HI> through <HI>Parents</HI> Bo&s;om gnaw.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When They Attend <HI>Me</HI> next, F. Bid Them bring</L>
<L>Calmer Thoughts: Bid Them Propo&s;e <HI>Legal Things:</HI></L>
<L>Such as may both become <HI>Them&s;elves,</HI> and <HI>KINGS.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This will the <HI>Joyes</HI> of our <HI>Little World</HI> Compleat,</L>
<L>And all Attempts of <HI>Foreign Foes</HI> Defeat:</L>
<L>Making the <HI>People</HI> Happy, <HI>MONARCH</HI> Great.</L>
