The Reins of Government He first shall hold In an inferior Station, then fhall rife

To Grace a Kingly Throne, and all the World furprize.

Virtues derived from a Lower State,

The ufe of Sov'rain Power fhall regulate;
And make the mighty Monarch ftill more
Great.

His Empire, when in Childhood it appears,
Heav'n fhall o'erfee, and guard its tender Years;
Till, Virtue and Authority combin'd,

Envy, and Hope, shall both be left behind, And Victory, or Bleffings, reach to all Mankind.

Th' ALMIGHTY thus feledts a GEORGE to reign,
And do's his Virtue, and his Pow'r sustain :
Bids Him go on ; and bids Us wait to see
His growing Glory, Our Felicity.

THE

DANGER

OF THE

CHURCH

T

CONSIDER'D.

HE CHURCH is fo dear a Name, that the Cry of its Danger must needs affect every honest Man : If there be real Danger, it will excite our Zeal for its Security: If it be a groundless Clamour, fet on Foot to ferve ill Purposes, our Indignation will be rais'd in Proportion to our Value for that facred Thing, which is fo unworthily prostituted. And furely it will be a very useful Attempt to enquire particularly into the Matter, in order to fatisfy the Well-meaning, and expofe the Ill-defigning.

By the CHURCH (it's taken for granted) the Authors of this Cry would have us understand the Church of England as eftablifh'd by Law. Now the Danger of this Church must be either from Infidels, Papifts, or Presbyterians.

As to Infidels, they are either Foreign or Domeftick: There can be no Danger from any
