Vse firm religion.
Ʋers.
Vse firm religion, this imports thy name,
Let then thy practise alwaies be the same.
Sonnet.
THy Name, thy Nature, and thy practise too
Iuvites thee to use firm religion, doe
Even as the number of these letters lead
What these Characters spell, let practise road:
But why should I take on me to advise
Thy Noble self, whose constant enterprise
Is to perswade the people to go on
In zeal, and to Vse firm Religion.
Nor yet is this the scope of thy designe,
Nor full intent, but Morralls with divine,
Thou contributes, so by a twofold Care,
Thou gain'st the name of Act ve, upright, rare,
Therefore I cease to paint thy praises forth:
Thy selfe, and actions, shew thy reall worth.
