Right blest are they on whom _God_ hath bestowne A _King_, whose _Vertues_ have approved him To be an Ornament unto his _Throne_, And as a Lustre to his _Diadem_. Hee seekes not onely how to keepe in awe His _People_, by those meanes that rightfull are; But, doth unto himselfe, become a _Law_, And, by _Example_, Pious _Wayes_ declare. He, loveth _Peace_, and after it pursues; Yet, if of _Warre_ a just occasion come, Doth nor _Bellona’s_ Challenges refuse, Nor feare, to beat _Defyance_ on his _Drum_; He is as ready, also, to advance The Lib’rall _Arts_, and from his Lands to drive All false _Religion_, _Schisme_, and _Ignorance_, As other publike profits to contrive. And, such a _Prince_ is not a _Casuall-thing_, The Glories of a _Throne_, by _Chance_, possessing; Nor meerely from his _Parents_, doth he spring, But, he is rather _Gods_ immediate _Blessing_. If thou desirest such a _Prince_ to be, Or, to acquire that Worth which may allure Such _Princes_ to vouchsafe some _Grace_ to thee; Their Kingly _Vertues_, labour to procure. In _Military_ Practices delight, Not for a wicked, or vaine-glorious end; But, to maintaine the Cause that is upright, Or thy distressed _Countrey_ to defend. And, strive that thou, as excellent mayst bee In _Knowledge_, as, thou art in thy _Degree_. _=True-Lovers= Lives, in one Heart lye, Both =Live=, or both together =Dye=._.
