That the rest of the royal issue may be
From their Parliamentary guardians set free,
And be kept according to their high degree,
Te rogamus, etc.
That our ancient Liturgy may be restored,
That the organs (by sectaries so much abhorr’d)
May sound divine praises, according to the word,
Te rogamus, etc.
That the ring in marriage, the cross at the font,
Which the devil and the Roundheads so much affront,
May be used again, as before they were wont,
Te rogamus, etc.
That Episcopacy, used in its right kind,
In England once more entertainment may find,
That Scots and lewd factions may go down the wind,
Te rogamus, etc.
That thou wilt be pleased again to restore
All things in due order, as they were before,
That the Church and the State may be vex’d no more,
Te rogamus, etc.
That all the King’s friends may enjoy their estates,
And not be kept, as they have been, at low rates,
That the poor may find comfort again at their gates,
Te rogamus, etc.
That thou wilt all our oppressions remove,
And grant us firm faith and hope, join’d with true love,
Convert or confound all which virtue reprove,
Te rogamus, etc.
That all peevish sects that would live uncontroll’d,
And will not be govern’d, as all subjects should,
To New England may pack, or live quiet i’ th’ Old,
Te rogamus, etc.
That gracious King Charles, with his children and wife,
Who long time have suffer’d through this civil strife,
May end with high honour their natural life,
Te rogamus, etc.
That they who have seized on honest men’s treasure,
Only for their loyalty to God and to Cæsar,
May in time convenient find measure for measure,
Te rogamus, etc.
