                                Know this, Hee should be honour'd, whom the King,<lb/>
                                To place of Dignity, shall please to bring.<lb/>
                                Why should they blame their Kings, for fav'ring such,<lb/>

                                We sometime know, what's well, and what's amisse ;<lb/>

                                Might oft misguide them, either by receiving<lb/>
                                A False-report, or, by some wrong-believing.<lb/>
                                God's Grace it is, that Good-men rays'd have bin:<lb/>
