For the Worshipful, DENZAL HOLLIS Esquire.
Anagr.
Holds in Zeal.
Epigr.
REader, be rev'rend all the time thou stands
And hath our famous Holles in thy hands,
Who, though the sin Apostacie prevail
Yet changes not, but he still Holds in Zeal.
Religions encrease, he hath ever aim'd,
I mean the true Religion, which is nam'd
The Protestant, and purely doth apply,
Himself thereto, with an impartial Eye;
Shun's faithlesse Factions, Errours, and Pretences,
Still Holds in Zeal, and pow'rfully convinces
Connivings, sides not, with Schismatick bands,
But for the Tim's opposed Truth, he stands.
Wise, holy Holles, Heavens let thee not fail,
Pattron of Piety, thou who Holds in Zeal,
Long may'st thou live, renowned for thy worth,
Whose Actions well become thy honoured birth.
And thou who run the hazard of thy bloud
For thy Religion, and thy Countrey's good;
Nor stood upon, the losse of thy Estate,
Nor greater dangers, nor the highest hate
Thou could'st incurre, but constantly did'st stand,
To all these things, sign'd with thy heart and hand.
