THat it may please Thee to decree

Who seek thy Annointed to de-Throne.

All such to Sit in Parliament,

And of a B—d make an Heir.

To Punish those who lately wou'd
Have wash'd their Hands in Charles's Blood.
Quesumus, &c.
That it may please Thee to Display

And lead thy Chosen Flock Astray.

And render all their Prayers in Vain,
Who make their Godliness their Gain.

The Heads of Otes and Prance may Climb

'gainst secret Foe and flattering Friend,
His Life and Crown, World without End.
Quesumus te Domine
