Loyalty the ornament of Christianity, or, Scripture proofs for monarchy with comments in verse on each proof and applications relating to the unparallel'd rebellion in the West, wherein the arch-traitor Ferguson is in some measure anatomiz'd and his disciples characteriz'd

SOLOMON, as you read, by God was blest;
On him the Mercies of the Lord did rest.
In token of his Thankfulness, the King,
To God's great Glory, improv'd ev'ry thing.
His Wisdom he so highly did improve,
That he gain'd God's, and ev'ry Mortal's love.
Three thousand witty Proverbs he exprest,
A thousand and five Songs he made at least.
In all these things, much Loyalty is found;
He was the wisest King that e're was crown'd.
Read but his Works, and you will quickly find,
That God himself to Kings was always kind.
They give account to none but God alone;
Man's greatest Pow'r can never reach the Throne.

Yet to our grief, the curst Phanaticks try'd;
The best of Kings by those Usurpers dy'd.
They made a Law, contrary to all Reason,
To paint, or colour, their most hellish Treason.
Now, at this day, God seeks revenge on those,
Who side with such as were King Charles his Foes.
The Western Blades, I mean, for what are they,
But such as did pursue the self-same way?
They were for killing Kings, as well as th'rest;
Sure they were Birds of prey of the same Nest.
But now their Wings are clipt, they cannot fly:
In some dark Cages may they always lie:

And may the God of Heav'n bless the King in's Royal Line,
That they, like th'Sun, may always on their Loyal Subjects shine.
Where they one Mercy now enjoy, may there be added ten:
Let ev'ry Loyal Subject say, AMEN, Ev'n so, AMEN.
