What he hath promis'd and protested To All that on his Promise rested Euen to his Saints a Thousand-fold Which on Him with Faiths-Hand lay-hold Vnto his euerlasting Praise His Word he hath made good alwayes 7. Euen That blest Promise once compacted That Cou'nant-good once prae-contracted To Abraham and Isaacs Seed And so to Iacob was decreed And vnto Jsr'ell stablisht sure To Times last period to endure 8.

And though the number of that Nation Was yet of slender valuation Did yet but very small appeare When thus his Loue esteem'd Them deare And that Beside their Number small They in the Land were Strangers-All 10. Walking from Nation vnto Nation Without all settled Habitation Now Heere now There Conducted still By their all-prudent Pilots will Who suffered No-man wrong to take But plaug'd great Princes for their sake 11. And where they came Thus charg'd appointed Let None offend My deare-Annointed Nor vse my Prophets spightfullie For These are precious in mine Eye Fierce Famine then the Land ore-laide Whereby Their Staffe of Bread decaide 12. But God good Ioseph then ordained By whom fore-sent They were sustained Though thither He a Slaue were sould Though Foes in fetters Him did hold Vntill in Heauens appointed time God heard his Cause clear'd him of Crime 13.

His flocke his stocke there fructified And to great Number multiplied And thus their foes did farre transcend Which inly did their foes offend Which turn'd their Loue to Hatred great Their Smiles to Guiles and slie Deceipt 16. Milde Moses then the Lord elected And holy Aaron much respected Both-whom to Egypt soone he sent There to declare his great intent And in the Land of Ham to showe His signes and wonders to their woe

17. Darkenesse strange Darkenesse his Commission Did them obey with expedition And ouer-spread All Egypt Land And by Heauens All-ore-ruling Hand Their Waters-All gore Blood became And slew all Fishes in the same 18. With croaking Frogs He them infested Their Land and Lodgings where they rested Not sparing Pharaoes Chamber neate He sent huge Swarmes noisome and great Of crawling Lice and stinging Flies 'Mongst their hard-hearted Enemies 19. Instead of Raine Haile-stones he rained And with fierce flames of fire them bained And thereby totallie ore-threw Vines Figtrees yea All Trees that grew Then Caterpillers did abound Great Grashoppers their fruites confound 20. Their first-borne Babes he deadly wounded And strongest of their Land confounded Yea euen the prime of all their strength And led his Seruants forth at length All fraught with Gold and Siluer store Not One was feeble faint or poore 21. Th' Egyptians Hearts were then reuiued Being of their Presence thus depriued Such feare of Them had broke their Heart And as they thus did thence depart A Cloud by Day hid them from Heate Their Guide by Night a Fire most great 22. At Their rebuest He Quailes downe-rained With Manna sweet their state sustained Whiles through the Wildernesse they went And then the rigid Rockes he rent From whence did Floods of Water flow To quench their thirst as they did goe 23. For as he euer was delighted With mindfulnesse of Promise plighted So then the Lord did mind the same And to his euerlasting fame He brought them fo●th with mirth and Joy Whence they had liu'd in dire Annoy 24. Yea such to them was his good Pleasure That all the Labours Lands and Treasure Of Heathen-folke his flocke did take That they might not his Lawes forsake But faithfully obserue his Lore Oh let vs praise the Lord therefore Psalme 107. 1.

Them scattered He collected From th' East vnto the West And brought them thus affected From North and All-blest Yeo when in Wildernesse Bereft of House or Citty They wandred in distresse He shew'd Paternall Pitty 3. When fearefully they fainted All pin'd with Penurie With thirsty Drought euen tainted And ready for to die With sorrow thus o're-charg'd Heauens helpe they then implored Then God his Loue enlarg'd And them to Ioy restored 4. And from their Desolation He led them like a Guide Vnto a Habitation Where they might safe abide Let thankefull Persons then The Lords great Loue be telling And to the Sonnes of Men His wondrous Workes excelling 5. For He in bounteous measure The hungrie Soule hath fill'd And his caelestiall Treasure On thirstie Hearts hast still'd But Those that doe reside In Deaths darke Habitation Fast fetter'd-vp and tide With Chaines of Desolation 6. Because they had rebelled Against Gods Holy-writ And gainst his Counsailes swelled Esteeming them no whit Yet when his heauie Hand Had brought them in Subiection When they in woe did stand Quite frustrate of Protection 7. Then with much Lamentation Gods helpe they did implore Who from deepe Desolation Did them to Ioy restore And from the gloomey shade Of Death where they were closed In Jron-fetters laide He powerfullie them losed 8. He snapt their Snares a sunder Their Bolts and Barres of Brasse And op'd th●ir Gates with wonder To ●et the People passe ●e● thankfull Persons then The Lords great Loue be telling And to the Sons of Men His wondrous workes excelling 9. Fond Fooles hy their Transgression And foule Deformities Are forc'd to feele oppession And many Miseries Their Soule in Languishment Sweet Nutriment distasted In this sad Exigent Euen to Deaths doore they hasted 10. Then Ayde they impetrated In this their deepe distresse And w●re commiserated And found a full redresse The Lord sent forth his Word With potent operation Which did them Helpe afford Vnto their Soules Saluation 11. Let gratefull Men be telling The Lords great Goodnesse then His wondrous Workes excelling Vnto the Sonnes of Men. Let them with ioyfull Hearts Prepare a sweet Oblation And praise Gods glorious Parts And Workes of Admiration 12. Such as vse Nauigation In Ships to Sea being sent With indefatigation Their Marchandize to vent Those men see and behold The wonders of the Ocean Gods maruailes manifold In Sea's most mighty motion 13. For at his Voice like Thunder The Waters rise and rage Winds blow Floods flow with wonder Their Surges None can swage Alo●t they lifted rise That Heauen they touch They thinke Straite plund'g in woefull wise They seeme to Hell to sinke 14. Then to and fro they tumble Like men in drunken-fits They Art-lesse heart-lesse stumble Bereft of Sence and wits Then cry they to the Lord With loud eiaculation Who quicklie doth accord To send them Preseruation 15. For at his Becke and Pleasure The sturdie Stormes lie still The Waues in wondrous measure Obey his Word and Will The Mariners thereby Are fill'd with Joy and Gladnes That their wisht Hauen they spie In safety free from Sadnes 16. Let gratefull Men be telling The Lords great Goodnesse then His wondrous Workes excelling Vnto the Sonnes of Men And let them laud his Might In the great Congregation And in great Princes sight Proclaime his sweet Saluation Huge Waters-Inundation He makes a Desert drie And with strange alteration Dries-vp Springs presentlie And for the sinfull Band Of bad Inhabitants He makes a fruitfull Land Fruitlesse and full of Wants 18. Againe dry Wildernesses Huge flowing Floods he makes And dry-Lands He redresses To Springs and Pooles and Lakes And for Poore People there Prouides an Habitation Where they may Citties reare With pleasant Situation 19. Where they infruitfull measure May sow and Vineyards plant And so augment their Treasure That None need liue in want And God doth blesse them so In time of Peace or Battell That they most Wealthy grow In Coine in Corne in Cattell 20. But when his Saints are wronged Diminisht and brought low And what to Them belonged Are forced to for-goe Then their proud Enemies Though Princes He distresses And doth so blind their Eyes To erre in VVildernesses 21. Yet out of all their Troubles Poore Humble-Hearts he frees Their stockes and flockes he doubles Like Sheepe or Swarmes of Bees The Righteous this shall see And ioy with heartie Gladnesse But Bad-mouthes stopt shall be With most malicious Madnesse 22. Oh who is godly wise And free from wilfull Blindnesse To marke and memorize The Lords great Loue and kindnes Psalme the 123.
