Are faire _examples_ of _Moralitie_, So manifest; That, if he Truth did sing, Who said, _The World doth imitate the King_; My _Muses_ dare, with boldnesse to presage, A Chast, a Pious, and a Prosperous _Age_: And, that, the stormes which, late, these Realmes deterr’d, Shall all be quite removed, or deferr’d Till you Ascend; And, future times have seene, That, your Examples have not followed beene. Thus, you are living _Emblems_, to this _Nation_: Which being mark’d with heedefull speculation, May serve, as well, to helpe us how to see Our _Happinesse_, As, what our _Duties_ be. And, if I might unlocke all _Mysteries_, Which doe declare, how in a _foure-fold-wise_, Your Lives are usefull EMBLEMS; I, perchance, Should vexe blind _Zeale_, or anger _Ignorance_; And, teach well-temper’d _Spirits_, how to see, That, we, for Blessings, oft, Vnthankefull be. For, as you, _Both_, Prime _Children_ are of those Two _Sister-Churches_, betwixt whom, yet, growes Vnseemely _strife_; So, _You_, perhaps, may be An _Emblem_, how those MOTHERS may agree. And, not by your _Example_, onely, show, How wrought it may be; but, effect it so. Yea, peradventure, GOD, united _You_, That, such a blessed VNION might ensue: And, that, Your _living-lovingly_, together; Your Christian _hopefullnesse_, of one another; Your milde _forbearance_, harsh attempts to proove; Your _mutuall-waiting_, untill _God_ shall move By some _calme-voice_, or peacefull _inspiration_, That _Heart_ Which needeth better _Information_; And, that, your _Charities_, might give a _signe_, How, all the _Daughters_, of the SPOVSE _Divine_ Might reconciled be; And, shew, that, _Swords_, _Flames_, _Threats_, and _Furie_, make no true _Accords_. GOD grant a better VNION may appeare: Yet, wish I not the _tollerating_, here, Of _Politicke-Agreements_; (further than Our wholsome _Lawes_, and, _Civill-vowes_ to man, With _Piety_, approve) but, such, as may Make up a blessed CONCORD, every way: Might it be so; your _Vertues_, would become A Glorious _Blessing_, to all CHRISTENDOME: Your EMBLEM should, by future _Generations_; Be plac’d among the famous _Constellations_, And, _after-times_ (though, Mee, this _Age_ despise) Would thinke, these _Verses_, had beene _Prophecies_. What ever may succeed, my _Pray’rs_ and _Powr’s_ Are this way bent; with _Hope_, that _You_ or _Yours_ Shall _Helps_ (at least) become, that _Breach_ to close, Which, in the SEAMLES-ROBE, yet, wider growes. SO BE IT: And, let bright your _Glories_ bee, For ever, though _You_ never shine on MEE. _Your_ MAIESTIES _most Loyall Subject_, =GEO: WITHER.= TO THE READER.
