Classic Poem

The Cosmography of this County It alwares in former times stood distinguished by Longetude of east and West and yet held paralell the Hundreds to all services but now it is Lancht wounded and cut through by so many miridian Lines hott fiery Zealots or rather bonte feux firebrands of Cisme and seeds men of all seditions that it accknowledges noe bounding Tropicks but strives to Lay Levell in the Equator both Day and night a Like Pesant and Peer noe difference twixt Thrones and Coblers Bulkes nor is it girt thin other then the Torrid Zone and Soe spitts Flames-fire and Sword gainst Crowns and Scepters, all authority but what such Preach would Deeme their Pulpits Poles soe make Charles Wayne the which without prevention, that timely too will set al soe on fire by the rash attempts of these state Phaetons that wee shall becom moores soe blacke through Guilt of Fond conceipt and all Disloyaltie that noe streams of our Masters grace and mercy (who is an ocean of such) shall wash us white soe make us innocent to
God, to Him, ourselves but whilst thus vayne wee may proclaime our Labour and endeavours to bee noe lesse and rest at the unprofitable ridiculus signe.
