14The Firſt and the Laſt to the temple he goes.
Both buyer and ſellers he there did oppoſe;
His ſeal, as a cloak, he there did diſplay,
And orders te doves to be taken away.
15I Am that I Am, at ſamaria's well,
Converts a poor woman, the word does me to tell
Her water pot leaves and quickly to run,
Come, ſee a man tells me all I have done.
16With five loaves and wo fiſhes feeds fivethousand men.
With women and children aſſembled with them,
Chriſt's power and his glory he there did diſplay
Both God like and man like, he ſent them away
17A Voucher O ſee, on the Gad'rine coaſt,
A ſilly loſt ſheep by Satan is toſt,
Behold our good Shepherd ſoon ſet him free,
The ſwine and the legion he drives in the ſea.
18Then up to Mount Tabot Chriſt does ascend,
Elijah and Moſes muſt on him attend;
James, John and Peter, are struck with great fear,
When ſhining in glory the Lord did appear.
19Jehovah does ſpeak, himself from above,
The apoſtles did hear, my son, my belov'd;
In whom I'm well pleaſed, hear him God did ſay,
A bright cloud o'er ſhadows and paſſes away.
20 The pool of Bethſida our Lord paſſes by,
An impotent man there helpleſs did lye,
Here mercy and power divine did diſplay,
Cures the impotent man and ſent him away.
21The Father's delight, the Word bears record
The earth did own as her sovr'reign Lord,
