To the Right Honourable, James, Earle of Roscommon
In truest holinesse you so proceed,
As that you seeme all Sion , Sir, to meed :
May men meed Sion , which doth signifie
Exact abiding of the Diety.
Surely we cannot, merits are to shew:
Doubtlesse, such honour to attaine unto,
In Gods account, the end by imputation,
Likely 'tis we merit, may relation,
Leading us to Christ, in whom most blest,
Onely our merits have their meede to rest:
Now then in him, all Sion meed you may,
Entred therein, Gods glory he'le display.
