England's reioycing for the Parliaments returne. DECLARING The Kingdomes happinesse in their Councells, and their Iustice in their Consultations against Papists, Arminianisme and Popish superstition.

WElcome ye Starres of England, whose bright beames

Doth us illuminate, with the full streames

Of Iustice, In whose sacred Brow we scan

The height of equitie; and truth of man.

Whose Splendor doe so radiantly appeare

Like fixed Starres within our Hemispheare

And if the exub'rance of a word may swell

So high, that Angells may be said to dwell

Within your councells: Nothing sure can be

Distill'd from you but meere Divinity.

But stay! why doe my sawcy pen transgresse

'Gainst modesty, in striving to expresse

Your Panygericke, which the hearts of men

Cannot conceive enough: How dare I then

Presume audaciously now to expresse

[Page]In you, renowned England's happinesse?

Pardon (greate worthies!) pardon my poore Muse

Which (while all other Poet's doe refuse

This taske) ambitious only is to bee

In painting forth your sweet solemnity

In your recesse how ev'ry heart did pray,

Praying enquire, enquiring wish the day

Of your returne and now you doe fulfill

Their expectation, and God's holy will.

Me thinkes I see each Subiect strive to come

And then endeavour you to welcome home

Vnto your sacred councell; once begun,

And ever shining as the splendent Sun.

Blessed Astr [...]a [...]aignes within your minds:

Within your hearts and constancie there finds

A pious habitacle: firme faith now show's

Your blest intent, and pietie your brow's

'Tis your returne, that makes our hearts to move

With great alacritie, and greater love.

'Tis your returne that makes men to rejoyce

And caroll forth their joy's with heavenly voice

Tis your returne, that causeth us to singe

Encomiums as from the Muses spring.

'Tis your returne, that doth infuse my Quill

With Poetrie, as from Parnassus Hill.

And whatsoe're we doe, 'tis your returne

That causeth all our hearts in ioy to burne.

For as Monopolers did heretofore

Triumph, yet by your Iustice they deplore

Their sad disastruous fortune: and the while

Truth under your protection rightly smile

When Bishops did exult, and made the poore

[Page]Too servile, who their Lordships did adore

Those, who did strive to trample o're the Crowne

By your true Iustice are all tumbled downe.

And Iudges likewise (by whose false command

Extortion raigned ev'n throughout this land)

By your heav'n-guided councells, and great power

Doe most deservedly suspect the Tower.

But England doe not labour any more

Of these incendiaries, as before.

Proceed, renowned Worthyes, then proceed

And what in action is, perfect in deed.

For (loe!) the Kingdome wholly doth depend

On you: who doe it piously defend.

Behold, the Pope doth quake at your returne,

And mourning feares, and fearing still doth mourne

Which may he still continue, till he lyes

Ship-wrack, in mourning, and so mourning dyes!

Behold! the Papists tremble, and doe feare

Extreamely, and soe sinke into dispaire.

Which may they sinke into! For now I hope

No more respect shall be given to the Pope.

Behold! Armineans tumble every where

And now are struck with repercussive feare.

Which may they still be struck with! For I doubt

They'l be expell'd, and banished without.

Behold! The Priests of Baal, Atheists

And Iesuites, with other Popish Priests

Lament their fortunes: for in you they see

Nothing but Iustice, and true equitie.

You have deliv'red us from all the hands

Of these, and more, yea from the Devills bands.

[Page]We will not therefore so ungratefull seeme

Your sacred Iustice e're to dis-esteeme:

But to extoll, and celebrate your fames

And pious honours, as perpetuall names,

Which never shall be out of memorie

Razed, but kept unto eternity:

Witnesse those prayers, which we dayly make,

For your security, and councell's s [...]ke.

Each man prepares his mirth, each man salutes

Your blest returne, and each man disputes

Of your renowned equity, which finds

An habitation in all severall minds.

This land triumphs in you alone (great Peeres.)

Who have absolved us from all our feares.

Oh let the Sun-shine of your vertues then

Illustrate all the joyfull hearts of men!

And let the influence of your great power

The Gospell's mortall enemies devoure.

For your securitie we dayly pray

That true Religion never may decay

But re-erected by your equitie

May flourish to all perpetuitie.

And that the Church of God may never more

Be dis-respected still as heretofore.

But govern'd by your consultations

May shine throughout all other Nations.

Thus doe all things by you securely stand,

And thus all things doe flourish in our land.

By you the branches of Relig'on grow,

By you the Rivers of the Gospell flow.

In you we doe receive a blessed station,

In you we have a heav'nly contemplation.

[Page]With you true Iustice flourisheth aright.

With you and good Relig'on shineth bright.

From you this Iland doe receive a blisse

From you, a blessing, not a Iudas kisse.

To you be therefore glory, and great praise

To you we yeeld the Olive, and the Bayse.

By, in, with, from you we receive all joy:

To you be Honour: which you shall enjoy.

‘Vestra Deus dirigat concilia.’

FINIS.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
