A strong horn of Salvation in his servant Davids house vers 78 Through the most tender mercies of our God most gracious Whereby the day-spring from on high hath come to visit us To them in darkness in the shade of death who did abide To give light and into the way of peace our feet to guide Luke 2.10 The Angel said to them Fear not for I behold and see Bring you good tidings great joy which shall to all people be For unto you is born this day in David his citie A Saviour who 's Christ the Lord. And this a sign shall be Vnto you Ye shal find the babe swadled where he doth ly Into a manger And there was with th'Angel suddenly A multitude of th' heavenly host praising God saying still Glory to God in th' highest Peace on earth to men good will. Luke 2. â—5 Lo there was in Ierusalem a man call'd Simeon The same was just devout who for the consolation Of Israel did wait on him the holy Ghost did breath And by the holy Ghost it was to him reveal'd that death He should not see before that he had seen the Lord his Christ And he came to the temple by the Sp'rit who set that tryst And when the parents did bring in the child Iesus to do To Him after the custom of the Law then he came too Took Him up in his arms and blest God and said Now O Lord Thou lets thy servant go in peace according to thy word For my eyes thy Salvation have seen which in thy grace Thou hast made ready and prepar'd before all peoples face A light for revelation of Gentiles to dispel Their darkness and the glory of thy people Israel Luke 3.15 And as the people in suspense and expectation Were and all men into their hearts mused concerning Iohn Whether he were the Christ or not Iohn unto all replies Saying unto them I indeed with water you baptize But one who cometh after me mightier far than I The latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie He shall with th' holy Ghost and fire baptize and make you pure Whose fan is in his hand and He will throughly purge his floor And he together gather will into his barn the wheat And will burn up the chaff with fire unquenchable and great Ioh. 1.1 The Word in the beginning was with God the Word was God He was the true light * v. 14. And the Word was made flesh and abode Amongst us we his glory saw glory as of th' only Begotten of the Father full of grace and verity ver 29. Iohn seeth Iesus unto him coming and he did say Behold the Lamb of God who doth take the worlds sin away ver 41. He first his brother Simon finds sayes to him we have found The Messias who is the Christ if you the Name expound ver 49. And answering to Iesus words thus said Nathanael Rabbi thou art the Son of God the King of Israel Ioh. 3.16 For God hath so loved the world that He his Son did give His Son only begotten that all who in Him believe Should not be lost and perish but have everlasting life ver 29. He that the bride hath I do mean the bride the Lamb his wife Is the Bridegrom but the friend of the Bridegroom who stands by And heareth Him he doth rejoice with joy exceedingly Because of the Bridegroom his voice this my joy is therefore Fulfilled For I must decrease but He grow more and more He He who cometh from above He is high above all He who is of the earth is of the earth terrestrial And speaketh of the earth he that comeh from heaven hy Is 'bove all what He saw and heard That he doth testify And none His testimony doth receive Ah very few He who receives His witnessing hath seal'd that God is true For he whom God sent speaks the words of God for God the Sp'rit Gives not in measure unto Him but in fullness compleat The Father loves the Son and hath in his hand given all He that believeth on the Son hath life perpetual But He who doeth not believe the Son life shal not see But God's most dreadful wrath abides upon him constantlie Iohn 5.21 For as the Father doth raise up the dead and them revive Ev'n so the Son whom ev'r He will these He doth make to live For the Father without the Son Iudgeth not any one But hath giv'n by commission all judgment to the Son. Iohn 6.32 Iesus said to them Verily Verily I avow To you that Moses did not give that bread from heav'n to you But my Father in a free gift that bread bestows on you Which is from heav'n above the bread that real is and true Because he is the bread of God which from the heaven hy Descendeth and unto the world life giveth graciously ver 35. I am the bread of life He that comes to Me never shal Hunger and who believes on Me shall never thirst at all ver 51. I am the living bread which came down from the heaven hy If any eat of this bread he shal live eternally And the bread that I will give is my flesh which I will give For the life of the world that by my death the world may live Iohn 8.12 I am the Worlds light he who Me follows upon my call Shall not in darkness walk but have the light of life he shall I am the door if any by Me enter in he shall Be saved and go in and out and pasture find withall Ioh. 10. â— I am that Shepherd excellent and good and know my own Most perfectly also of these who are mine I am known As me the Father knows ev'n so the Father know do I. And for the Sheep I do lay down my life most willingly ver 27. My Sheep my voice hear and I know them and they follow Me And I give them eternal life and to eternitie They shal in no ways perish nor shal any pluck or reave Them out of my hand my Father who them unto me gave Is mightier than all and out of my Fathers hand none Is able for to pluck them I and my Father are one Ioh. 11. â—5 The resurrection and the life I am who doth believe In Me though he were dead yet he most certainly shal live Ioh. 14. â— Iesus saith unto him I am the Way the Verity And the Life No man comes unto the Father but by Me. Ioh. 15.1 I am the true the real Vine and my Father ev'n He Is th'husbandman * v. 5. I am the vine and ye the branches be He who abides in Me and I in him the same doth bring Forth much fruit for separat from Me ye can do nothing Ioh. 16.15 All things whatev'r the Father hath are mine therefore to you I said that He shal take of mine and unto you it show

tender rod And from his roots a branch shall grow on him shall make abode The spirit of the Lord the sp'rit of wisdom in its height And understanding the Spirit of counsel and of might The spirit of knowledge and of IEHOVAHS fear and shal Make him of understanding quick in reverential Fear of the Lord and He shall not Iudge after his eyes sight Not after hearing of His ears reprove but judge aright The poor with righteousness and shall reprove with equitie For the meek of the earth and with his mouths rod smite shall he Th' earth with his lips breath he shall slay the wicked Righteousness Shall His loins girdle be and His reins girdle faithfulness vers 10 And in that day of grace there shall a root of lesse be Which as the peoples ensign shall stand and stay stedfastlie Vnto it shall the Gentiles seek inquiring earnestlie And his rest shall be glorious yea it shall glory be Isa 16.5 And in mercy the throne shall be stablish't with stedfastness And He shall fixtly sit on it in

do lay a Stone a tried stone A corner stone most precious a sure foundation That man shall not make haste who doth believe his Name upon Isa 32.1 Behold a King in righteousness shall reign and Princes hie Shal rule in judgment And a man a hiding place shall be From the wind and a covert from the tempest which doth blow As rivers of waters which in a place that 's drie do flow And as the cooling

delight I have my spirit put on Him He to the Gentiles shall Iudgment bring forth He shall not cry nor lift up nor at all Cause his voice to be heard into the street A bruised reed He shall not break the smoking flax he shall not quench but feed He shall bring forth Iudgment to truth He shall not fail nor be Discouraged until He hath set judgment stedfastlie Into the earth and for his Law the Isles shall duely wait Thus saith God the Lord He that the heavens did create And stretcht them out spre'd forth the earth and what comes out of it To folk on it who walk therein who giveth breath and sp'rit I IEHOVAH have called Thee in righteousness and I Will hold thine hand and will thee keep and give Thee graciously To be the peoples covenant and for the Gentiles light To open the blind eyes of those who want both light and sight To bring the prisoners out of the prison grieveous And these who do in darkness fit out of the prison-house I am the LORD that is my Name My glory I no wise Will to another give nor to grav'n images my praise Isa 49.6 It is a light thing that thou should be my servant onlie Iacobs tribes to raise and restore these who preserved be Of Isra'l for the Gentiles light I also will give thee That thou unto the end of th' earth may my salvation be Isa 50.4 The Lord God freely given hath the learned tongue to me That I might know how I might speak a word seasonablie To him that 's weary he wak'neth morning by morning he Wak'neth mine ear to hear as these hear who the learned be The Lord God he hath opened mine ear and I was not Rebellious nor turned back my back to these who smote I gave and gave my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair My face I did not hide from shame and spitting I did bear Because the Lord God will me help therefore I

Behold my servant he shall deal prudently he shall be Exalted and extolled and he shall be very hie As many ' stonisht were at thee His visage so more then Any man 's marred was his form more than the sons of men So He shall many nations sprinkle the kings shall be Silent shutting their mouths at Him for they shall come to see That which had not unto them been before told and declar'd And shall consider seriouslie that which they had not heard Isa 53.1 Who hath believed our report the preached heared word To whom revealed is the arm of IEHOVAH the Lord Because before him as a plant tender grow up shall he And as a root out of a ground which parched is and drie He hath no form nor comliness and when we shall Him see There is no aspect specious that Him desire should we He is despised and of men deserted and cast by A man of sorrows knowing griefs experimentally And we hid as it were from Him our faces He with scorn Despis'd was we esteem'd Him not He verily hath born Our griefs
