TO MY TRVLY WORTHY, AND MVCH RESPECTED FRIEND, Mr. John Clarke, Gentleman; Steward, and Receiver of King Iames Hospitall; foun∣ded by Tho: Sutton, Esquire; his best Wishes.
'TIs not so great a worke to purchase love, As to retaine it, never to remove. Thy Art herein hath made thee excellent, A grace unto thy Place, a President! Never therein had any such applaud, Of such perinnity, Angelick land! None of the Proto-stewards like to thee, So changelesse, constant, so perpetuall free. Then blame them not to praise and love thee too, Their Tribute is no more than what is due: Nor mine no lesse than theirs; So I present Faiths Triumph to thy hand, to give content: With all, To such a good Germanicus, I wish long life; Thy old men Clerke it thus.Amen.
Ever Thine:
