Might find her very Archives there, Her ancient Stattutes, in their first dessign.
Prerogative, and Priviledge to joyn.
The perfect draught of all-preserving Law, (Which, whilst unbyast hands cou'd round us draw, Rebel, nor Tyrant, cou'd encroach, Not that aspire, nor this extend too much ; 60 None, cou'd beyond his happy Limmit goe.
Not man deprav'd, nor Demon from below Cou'd leap the hallow'd bound, or passe the magick Line) Well did we in our far applauded Kent, Whilst Pious, Wise, Heroick,... and refin'd.
