To his worthy friend, Mr. Iohn Cheesly, Secretary to the Commissioners for Scotland.
Anagr.
Hence is holy.
Ʋers.
What he records, it is so far from folly,He pennes With prudence, and he hence is holy.
Epigr:
REnowned Cheesly, unto thee I speak,And for thy worth, unfained praise I seekWhat perfect practice is performd by thee,It cannot fully be exprest by me:But they appoint thee promptest, I averre,For fittest pen-man, wisest Secretair.Ioyn then th••t iudgment which thou dost ingageThe honour of thy Nation l••es in pledge,Add thy assistance, intimate thy will,Require performance prorogate no ill,And then no doubt thou wilt be, I beleeve,Fit for employment, more superlative.
