Classic Poem

Christ , Christian King you may be said to earne ,
Having his Doctrine ( Kingly ) not to learne;
Religiously being framed from your youth,
In Gods most certaine and approved truth:
So then you know, to earne Christ , is no more,
Then God's free acceptation to implore,
In earning Christ , no higher doe you soare;
Earning through. Gods accompt, that is by Christ :
Rightly with Christ blest merits to be blist,
Now, Sacred Majesty doth well befit,
Earning of Christ , and such a prize to get.

Kingdomes best fit for Kings, that they thereby,
Inthroned, may see forth their Majesty;
Now your Majestick selfe, Christ earning , have
Great freedomes , to your Kingdoms , which Christ gave;
Eking out liberties that doe transcend:

(Oh boundlesse freedoms ,) all the world to th' end,
Free none alike, but this brave Monarchy:

Doubtlesse great Denmarks King y'ave got thereby,
Earning of Christ , eking a Kingdome free ,
Not to be sampled but great Charles by thee:
Making these free , who by so free a Law,
As Christs New Testament are kept in awe,
Requiring nothing but the wills affection,
Keeping the heart free , yet with blest direction,
Ever still building blessed architection.
