Heavenly pastime, or, Pleasant observations on all the most remarkable passages throughout the Holy Bible of the Old and New Testament newly allegoriz'd in several delightful dialogues, poems, similitudes, and divine fancies / by John Dunton, author of The sickmans passing-bell.

David saluted King.

DAvid, who after Gods own Heart, was chose, Having escap'd the danger of his Foes, Run through the hazzards, numerous to tell; Saul slain, he's crown'd great King of Israel; Him the Glad People from all Cities meet, And loudly sing his praises in each Street. Though Saul's rejected House does strive with him For Iacobs Scepter and bright Diadem; Yet 'tis in vain, Heaven soon does end the strife, Whilst mighty Abner is bereft of Life. When as the Darling, from whose Loyns must spring The great Messia, Heavens all Glorious King, In Triumph rides, all fearless, and does see How much he owes for his felicity▪ To his Creator, by whom Kings command, On whom their regal Glories all depend; Who sets them bounds, and limits Kingly sway, Chastizing those that dare but disobey His strict resolves, whose will alone is Fate, And whose bare word can all annihilate.
