But add more Grief and make the vail	John 15. 13.
more thick to hide Chriſt's Face:
Then other Loves all get you gone,
or elſe take Servants Place:
Too hard Conditions were to me,
for you to quite his Face.
For one Hour's joy in him is more,	Pſal. 64. 10,
though mixt with dririe Tears,
Then all earth's honour, pleaſure, wealth,
can yield in many Years.
Now let me reſt and rouſe my Love,	Pſal. 116. 72
who firſt me lovd, and chus'd,
And long call'd for my worthleſs love,	Gal. 2. 20.
and would not be refus'd.
I'll ſeek his Love as he ſought mine,
and learn of him to Love,
Since he invites I cannot miſs,
though while he ſhall me prove.
My love is Fathers eldeſt Son,
his Father, King of Kings:	John 2. 18.
His heritage is Heaven and Earth,
and in them both all things.	Dan. 2. 47.
His Wiſdom laid the World round,	Pſal. 2. 8,
and parted Sea and Land,	Heb. 1, 2.
Earths body through, as veins he drew	Prov. 8. 22.
the Waters with his Hand.	&c.
He made the Sun and Stars ſo ſwift,
yet not be ſeen to move,
Left Men on Earth had vexed been
with Motions from above.
His Strength upholds this weighty Globe,
and yet which is far more,
He bare our Sins and heavy Wrath,
deferv'd of us therefore.
