To the Right Honourable, Thomas, Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merying

That zeale that's truest of it men may boast,
Ah such a zeale most rightly will fit most ,
On your zeale then who lookes must needs confesse,
Most you doe fit ; and therefore zealousnesse
And true affection unto God doth rest,
Sweetly incompassed within your brest.

Fit you most still and still endeavour so,
In zealousnesse that none may you out goe:
Truth still walking in so even away,
Zeale guiding you never from thence to stray,
Encouraging who walke the way aright:
With wary steps in zeales path to delight,
Inciting those who walke not yet therein,
Lively that path to trace in, and begin
Like unto men zeale truely that affect,
Indeed to pace on in that way select.
Ah your zeale most wil fit , full well I see,
Must you be zealous of necessity.
