Indulgence if an Act of Pollicie It s deep as hell or as the heavens it's hie To gather altogither in a train And Iehu and Baals Priests to Act again Or else it 's like to JESUS who did call From Heaven and pardoned a slaughtering Saul Amen good LORD but let us never see Our King accurst for letting Syria free Me thinks I saw our trembling Kirk for life Panting like Isaack underneath the knife And heard Heavens cry CHARLES withdraw that blow Let not these ramms caught in the thickets go But since it s done Heavens pardon all offence In pities or in Policies pretence Yet we thought Policy should taught you rather To Indulge them as they indulg'd your Father Or as he did we fear too late yee 'l see There are extreams of gracious Clemencie Since none may say what doest thou I take leave Indulgeo seldom hes the accusative Mollis illa educatio quam indulgentiam vocamus nervos omnes mentis corporis frangit Quintilianus Nimia principum clementiorum lenitas innumer a mala Caedes Latrocima in ipsorum ditionibus gignit adeo principum Indulgentia quam inclementia publicè nocentior est Machiavellus de Principe cap. 17.
