And still begetting (for he nere begunne) [f. 60v] |
Hath deignd to chuse thee by adoption, |
Coheire to his glorie, and Sabboths endless rest, |
And as a robd man, wch by scearch* doth finde |
His stolne stuffe sold, must loose or buy it againe, |
The Sunne of glory came downe & was slaine, |
Vs whom he had made, & Satan stolne, to vnbind, |
Twas much that man was made like god before, |
But that god should be made like man much more.| |

Father, Part of his double interest |
Vnto thy kingdom, thy sonne gives to me, |
His Iointure in the knotty Trinitie, |
He keepes and gives me his deathes conquest |
This lambe, whose death, wth life the world hath blest, |
Was from the worldes beginning slaine, and he |
Hath made two wills, wch wth the legacie |
Of his and thy kingdome, doth thy sonns invest, |
Yett such are those lawes, yt men argue yett |
Wheather a man those statutes can fulfill, |
None doth; butt all-healing grace, and spiritt |
Reviue againe what law and letter kill, |
Thy lawes abridgment, and thy last command |
Is all but love, oh lett that last will stand|
