which alone you have sufficiently verified that expression of your
Majesties in your Declaration from _Breda_, That You would propose some
useful things for the publick emolument of the Nation, which should render
it opulent, splendid and flourishing; making good your pretence to the
universall Soveraignty by Your Princely care, as well as by your birth and
undoubted Title.

You have Restor'd, Adorn'd, and Repair'd our Courts of Judicature,
turning the Shambles where your Subjects were lately butcher'd, into a
Tribunal, where they may now expect due Justice; and have furnish'd the
Supreame seat there with a _Chancelour_ of antient candor, rare
experience; just, prudent, learned and faithfull; in summe, one, whose
merits beget universal esteem, and is amongst the greatest indications of
your Majesties skill in persons, as well as in their Talents and
perfections to serve you. Thus you have gratified the long robe, so as now
again,

_Te propter colimus leges, animosque ferarum
Exuimus_----And there is hope we may again be civiliz'd.

For you are (we hear) publishing _Sumptuary Lawes_ to represse the
wantonness and excess of Apparel, as you have already testifi'd your
abhorrency of _Duelling_, that infamous and dishonourable gallantry: In
fine, you have establish'd so many excellent constitutions, that you seem
to leave nothing for us to desire, or your Successor to add either in the
_Ethicall_ or _Politicall_.

----_Similem quæ pertulit ætas
Consilio, vel Marte virum?_----
