What if some one, inspired with zeal, should call,

Come, let's go cry, "God save him at Whitehall?"

His best friends would not like this over-care,

Or think him e'er the safer for this prayer.

Five praying saints[371] are by an act allowed,

But not the whole church-militant in crowd;

}

Yet, should heaven all the true petitions drain }

Of Presbyterians, who would kings maintain, }

Of forty thousand, five would scarce remain. }
