The saying then fulfill'd shall be recorded of this thing O grave where is thy victory O death where is thy sting The sting of death sin needs must be the Law the strength of sin But thanks to God for vicâ—o y through Christ our Lord herein HYMN LVIII MORTIFICATION Col 3. 5. Rom. 6. 12. c. 8. 13.

and plagues withall Because her sins have reach't unto the Heavens high And God doth find and call to mind all her iniquity Reward her to the â—ull as she rewarded you And fill her cup twice double up as she was wont to do Look how much she hath been a proud Luxurious Liver So much inflict her torments strict and so much sorrow give her For thus within her heart I sit a Queen saith she No desolate poor widdowes state nor sorrow shall I see And therefore shall her plagues come on her in one day Famine and death and mournfull breath to make her pine away And she shall utterly be burnt with fire at length For God the Lord that doth reward and judge her hath such strength H. 8. Charities QVALIFICATIONS 1 Cor. 13. 4 5. LOng-suffering is charity and most exceeding kind It envies not nor vaunts it self nor is puft up in mind Doth not unseemly bear it self it seeketh not her own Is not provoked easily and evil it thinks none 6 7 8.

Gal. 4. 4. 1 Pet. 1. 8. For when the Law was weak through flesh and had not strength to save God sent his Son of Virgin-seed and him to us he gave Whom having never seen we love and through beleef no lesse Rejoyce with joy unspeakable and full of gloriousnesse Jude 25.

COMMVNION of SAINTS Heb 12. 22 23 NOw are we come to Sion Mount the City of abode The heavenly Jerusalem where dwels the living God To Hosts of Angels numberlesse and to the Assembly met The general Church of Gods first born whose Names in Heaven are set 24.
