Feare God And Honour the King.
A Psalme of Prayer and praise for
the prosperous and good estate of our Soveraigne
Lord the King, his royall progeny, and the whole estate
of his Majesties dominions and people; drawne from the Foun-
taine of Faith, for the private use of the poore Orphanes in Christs Hospi-
tall; or any true Christian, wishing wealth and peace to Sion.
|
LORD give thy Judgements to our King, therein instruct him well:
|
And with his Sonne that Princely thing, Lord let thy graces dwell.
|
That they may governe righteously, and rule thy folke aright:
|
And so defend with equitie, the weake, which have no might.
|
The simple heart, the Widowes poore, and Orphanes in distresse,
|
To save from wrong, and evill doer to punish and represse.

Direct his Nobles readily, to guide their folke in peace:
|
And let the Magistrates apply, in justice to increase.
|
That they also may helpe the weake, and those with wrong opprest:
|
From such as hurt and proudly speake, to give them peace and rest,
|
That all may know, and eke obey; regarde and feare thy might:
|
So long as Sunne doeth shine by day, or else the Moone by night.

Lord make our King unto the just, like raine on fields new mowen
|
And as the drops that laye the dust, and fresh the land late sowen,
|
That they may prosper in his time, In grace, in wealth and peace:
|
Although the wicked doe repine, yet let them not increase.
|
That these endes of the earth (the West) possessions of thy sonne,
|
May in thy right, rule and be blest, till date of time be done.

In length of dayes with health and peace, in thy true faith and feare.
|
That sacrifices of prayer, and prayse, with almes may offered be:
|
In faith and love, to thee alwaies, by all in each degree.

For these, and all thy gifts alwaies; and will do while wee live.
|
All glorie to the Trinitie, both now and eke for aye,
|
To God all one, in persons three, one essence pure we pray.
