GOOD NEVVES / For all true hearted Subjects: / VIDELICET, / The PARLIAMENT goes on. / Written by FRANCIS MUSSELL, Vintner. / THough Times be troublous, yet true peace I bring / To all who feare God, and obey the King. / This Emblem thus deciphers the intent, / What by the Ensigne and the booke are meant. / The Ensigne cleere above his head doth flourish, / With joy to shew that God his flock doth nourish. / The Book presents to us the Truth, in which / W'are taught of God how to be truly rich: / So to exemplifie and keepe out harmes, / Are barricado'd with the City Armes. / Blest be our God above, whose preservation / Hath bin to us, to all mens admiration.
