Astonisht too in dire confusion move From crackling Orbs the Stars come tumbling down And in the hissing Sea their Tapers drown The Frame of Nature does dissolve and dye New Hev'ns and Earth the former's place supply Then holy Church with flagrant ardour burns Her sweetest praise to zealour prayers she turns Assist with thy Almighty aid we pray And guide poor mortals in the rightfull way We of our selves are helpless weak and blind Unthankful proud inconstant as the wind O'recome with passions and with Lusts opprest With Legions of infernal fiends possest Yet for such wretches thou resign'd thy breath And underwent a smart inglorious death Those streams of blood which from thy body ran Were shed to save and rescue sinful Man That precious blood which issu'd from thy side Wou'd have redeem'd a Thousand Worlds beside No finite tongue its value can repeat Whose worth and price was infinitely great This wondrous Love relieves our pining care Supports our minds and banishes despair Inspires with Hope and drives away our Dread And makes us dare to raise our drooping Head And beg the greatest Boon that can be giv'n The blest enjoyment of a glorious Heav'n Where with the Saints we shall for ever sing Sweet Halelujah's to th' Eternal King What Joys and raptures fill that blisfull place Where we shall view the God-head face to face Heav'n the best object of our longing mind Where happy Souls true solid pleasures find Securest Harbour whither can we fly When storms and clouds obscure our troubled Skie And that we may this calm safe Port obtain Save us from Shipwrack on the boistrous main From Pyrats guard us and from Sirens keep Whilst we are Sailing o're the dang'rous Deep Let not the Wolf the Lyon or the Fox Devour thy Church or harm thy tender Flocks But with thy true and faithfull Pastors feed The Scatter'd remnants of thy chosen seed Defend them from their proud insulting foes Whose rage still more and more imbitter'd grows Their sinking minds and feeble bodies bear Above the reach of worldly hope or fear And if thy wisdom thinks it just and meer Let all their foes lye prostrate at their feet We 're dayly mindfull of thy constant care And dayly offer up our thankful player In sacred Hymns w' extol thy glorious Name And in Thy Temple celebrate thy Fame And as thy Church for ever shall endure Under thy watchfull providence secure Nor blasting envy nor malicious rage With which so oft unarm'd she does engage Shall ever her foundation overturn Tho' men and Devils too against it spurn So whilst she sojourns here she 'l always bring An humble Tribute to her Heav'nly King Nor will she cease to praise and worship Thee When Time lies buried in Eternity Conscious of guilt and of our frailty too How prone we are our failings to renew We beg thy aid and thy assisting grace To keep our feet from stumbling in our Race And seeing Time so swiftly flies away And even to its self becomes a prey 'T is Folly to neglect the present Day Teach us our Instant moments to improve In all the duties both of fear and Love For life's uncertain and the Years to come May not be sprung from Times unfathom'd womb E're we be rotting in a loathsom Tomb. Our faults are many and our sins are great Therefore our calls for mercy we repeat Have mercy Lord for mercy still we cry Let not thy Love our humble suit deny For who cou'd stand before thy Judgement seat If Mercy did not with thy Justice meet We shou'd not boldly thus thy favour crave But that we know no other Gods can save We dare not to the best of Saints resign That fear and trust which are intirely Thine And as we place our confidence in Thee So from confusion ever keep us free From Worldly shame and Satans Tyranny NOTES PAG. the 2. lin 1.

Then those who never tasted bitter death Shall in a moment loose their sleeting breath Here I allude to the Mystery St Paul speaks off in the 15. Chap. of the 1. Epist Cor. 51. v. where he says we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed which I conceive is not so to be understood as that those who shall be found alive at the day of Judgement shall wholly escape the sentence denounc'd against Sin viz. Death Rom. 5.12 which is to pass upon all seeing that all have sinned but that they shall all dye suddenly either through fear or some other preternatural cause and under go a separation of their souls from their bodies but they being quickly to be reunited again and their bodies neither laid in the grave or turn'd to dust the persons so dying may be said not to sleep thô they were really dead because they were not laid in the grave for to sleep with their Fathers or to be buried with their Fathers are synonymous terms in holy Scripture So that this seems to be the Apostle's meaning we shall not all dye so us to be buried in our graves there to lye 'till we be rotten but some immediately or soon after the dissolution of their soul and body will have them reunited again and so appear in Judgement for it is appointed unto all men once to dye Heb. 9.27 and after that the Judgement But then wherein consists the Mystery mention'd by the Apostle herein as I suppose that from the instance of those who shall be found alive at the day of Judgment the Corinthians shou'd not take any occasion either to disbelieve or make any objection against the resurrection of the body for St Paul having before discours'd only concerning the resurrection of those bodies which were turn'd into dust he does in the verse before quoted as well farther instruct the Corinthians in this matter as preoccupy an objection which they might make against his preceding doctrin which we may suppose to be fram'd after this manner You have in your foregoing discourse treated concerning the body's being rais'd from dust and have illustrated your doctrin from seed sown in the ground V. 36. which is not quickned except it dye i.e. unless it be buried and dissolv'd in the Earth and after the same manner V. 42. you say is the resurrection of the dead it is sown in Corruption it is raised in incorruption and if so them what will become of those who shall be found alive at the day of Judgement whose bodies will not lye in the grave to be corrupted and turn'd to dust Shall not they therefore rise again Yes they shall and this is a Mystery I tell you thô they shall not sleep i. e. be lodged in the grave 'till they be turn'd to dust as those have been who died before them yet they shall both dye and be rais'd up again and
