And kiss the SON, before JEHOVAH swear
He will consign OPPRESSORS to despair.
Observe the crisis! hear the lion roar!
A voice says cry, The Judge is at the door!
The Factory system sounded in your ears,
By aid Divine shall move the Royal tears.

Those tears shall melt the chains which long have

bound,

Then in all hearts VICTORIA shall be crown'd.
Then Democrats from turbulence shall cease,
And Britons triumph in united peace.
A British tour might make VICTORIA wise,
In Factories to hear her sisters' cries.

A word enough to wisdom's daughters thought,
This motion is maturely forward brought.
To banish slavery from our native land,
May Love by Queen VICTORIA be fann'd.

GOD save the Queen! thy will to her reveal,
Imbue her tender heart with every grace;
Assisting her to guard the public weal,
Uniting all in Liberty's embrace.

With LIFE may LIGHT and LOVE a halo form
Around VICTORIA, Princess of REFORM.
A poet anxious his devoir to pay,

Presents to Queen VICTORIA this BOUQUET.

THE

FLOWERS APPEAR ON THE EARTH: THE TIME OF SINGING IS COME.

Solomon's Song, ii. 12.

IF fiction be essential to the flame

Of modern poets, one disclaims the name.
If women hence to Peris must give place,
And Fairies shine with more than female grace,
A NON SECTARIAN will renounce the prize,
Preferring woman's to a gazelle's eyes.
Herein the lofty truth is versified,

"I am the Truth," said JESUS, Zion's guide.
However modern infidels may sneer,

Before the Queen desirous to appear,
Her loyal subject will to truth adhere.
An odd pretension, courtiers will declare,
And laugh at truth, admission seeking there.
The truth, though deem'd prosaic, shall be shown,
The fairest flower that can perfume a throne.
Contemporaries partial, youthful Queen,
May your deserv'd eulogium be seen,
At some far distant era, when laid down
Your sublunary, for a heavenly crown.
Renounce the world, inflam'd with ardent love,
Set

your affections on the things above.
No cross, no crown; but glorious the prize,
The fading glories of the world despise.

L

Peculiar dangers hover round a throne,
May God's peculiar grace to you be shown;
And teach you in the clearest light to see
The wide extent of Christian LIBERTY!
That great inalienable boon, the scope
Of which involves the fall of every Pope;
Denouncing all who Zion would devour,
Without infringing on the Royal power.
In full security the ruler reigns,
JEHOVAH's approbation who obtains,
By humbly bowing to IMMANUEL's sway,
Who crowneth all, his mandates who obey,
Who venture not GOD's ordinance to change,
Nor Zion's settled canons disarrange.
True FREEDOM stoops not to DIOTROPHES,
Unathoriz'd who claims the Church's keys;
Who can No PATENTS OF COMMISSION show,
To whom we therefore no submission owe.
Though Christians, Cæsar's civil power revere,
In sacred things he cannot DOMINEER:
The Church entrusted not to his control,
His civil sceptre cannot reach the soul.
This wighty truth already verified,
Proofs upon proofs herein shall be supplied.
On tender ground the muse begins to tread,
And, with respect, before the Queen would spread
A document deserving of research,

Penn'd by a Doctor of the English Church.

DOCTOR BARROW'S

Discourse concerning the Unity of the Church.

"IT is reasonable that whoever claimeth AUTHORITY, should, for assuring his Title, show PATENTS OF HIS COMMISSION, manifestly expressing it, how otherwise can he justly demand obedience, or any with satisfaction yield thereto?"

"This POLITICAL Unity doth NOT well accord with the nature and genius of the Evangelical Dispensation. Our Saviour affirm'd that HIS KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD."

"The Christian Church is averse from PoмP, doth reject DOMINATION, doth NOT require CRAFT, WEALTH, OF FORCE to maintain it; but did at first, and may subsist without any such means."

"It is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN them to DOMINEER Over God's people. They are furnished with NO ARMS beside the Divine Panoply, they bear NO SWORD but that of the SPIRIT, which is the Word of GOD. They may teach, reprove-THEY CANNOT

COMPEL."

DOCTOR BARROW.

Thus Doctor BARROW reason'd, long ago,
The Papal Church of Rome to overthrow:

His sword, with double edge, has wounded Rome,
And also struck a fatal blow at home.

-With Doctor BARROW who will break a lance? Will any Bishop venture to advance?

If

any Doctor fairly can confute

The logic here presented, I am mute.
But otherwise I still maintain the field,
The sword of GOD, and Gideon's to wield.

The voice of truth all Popes will overthrow;

And down, down, down, the Man of sin must go! Bel boweth down, and Nebo stoopeth low.

Not unto us, not unto us, O LORD,

But to thy Name the glory we record.

The Church of England is maintain'd by FORCE;
And therefore is unscriptural of course.
Let every reader weigh that distich well,
And on its weighty import duly dwell.
