HOw many Miracles of Love What Mysteries of Grace Has th' Ever-blessed Iesus shown To Adam's sinful Race That he should humbly condescend Our mortal Flesh to wear Our Sicknesses and Sorrows too And numerous Sins to bear Was 't not enough thou Holy One To lay aside thy Crown And in a Servant's Form on Earth To wander up and down Was 't not enough with Sighs and Tears Our Miseries to deplore To teach us by thy blameless Life But wouldst Thou still do more Whence is this unexampled Love To wretched Human kind What to attract thy Heart couldst Thou In loathsom Sinners find That loaded with our Sins and Pains Thou through Death's Vale wouldst go That we made Innocent and Free The way of Life might know Worthy art thou O Lamb of God Among thy Saints to reign Who to redeem them by thy Blood Wast once an Offering slain HYMN XVI HOW sweet how beauteous is the Place Where God his Presence grants His pious Children sitting round His Tabl ' as Olive-Plants To them he cries My welcome Friends Eat of this Feast of mine Come my Beloved freely drink Of this my mingled Wine LORD we accept thy bounteous Treat With Wonder Joy and Love O may we in thy House have place And ne're from thence remove Here let our Faith still feed on Thee The only Food Divine To Faith thy Flesh is Meat indeed Thy Blood the Noblest Wine Thy Blood that purifying Juice To cleanse the Soul design'd To heal a Sinner's bleeding Heart And chear his drooping Mind Here we rejoice to see thy Love Through Figures and in part But how much greater Joy wil 't be To see thee as thou art HYMN XVII As the 100 Psalm WHerewith shall I a sinful Worm Iehovah's Sanctu'ry draw nigh With what Oblations shall I bow Before the Throne of God most High Shall I Burnt-Offerings to him bring Calves taken from their tender Dams Will God be pleas'd if I should slay A thousand and a thousand Rams Shall I upon his Altar pour Rivers of Oil ten thousand times Or my First-born an Offering make To expiate my odious Crimes No God is so incens'd by Sin Such Offerings all would be in vain Too mean to save the guilty Soul And purge it from so foul a Stain With broken Heart and fervent Cries Dear JESUS to thy Cross I fly Tho other Refuge fail on Thee My Soul with Safety can rely The Blood that issu'd from thy Wounds Becomes both Oil and Wine to ours No Ease until thy Hand this Balm Into the wounded Conscience pours As at thy Table we behold Thy All-sufficient Sacrifice Let 's feel the Virtue of thy Blood Which heals and chears and purifies So while our Feet stand in thy Courts To Thee O God our Life and Joy We 'll bring the Sacrifice of Praise In Praise our Hearts and Tongues employ HYMN XVIII O LORD how shall we frame a Song To celebrate thy Fame Our highest Flights are all too low To reach thy Loftier Name Yet should the Objects of thy Grace Thy Praises cease to shout To censure such Ingratitude The Stones would soon cry out What 's sinful Man that toward him Thy tender Heart should move To draw him from the Gates of Hell With charming Bands of Love A Love by many Sorrows try'd And many a painful Wound Whose Flame could not be quench'd by Death Could by no Floods be drown'd No not by all those Streams of Blood Which on thy Cross did meet From thy pierc'd Heart and bleeding Head And wounded Hands and Feet A Love whose Wonders far transcend The reach of Humane View Whose Myst'ries the inquiring Crowd Of Cherubs look into O happy Men who taste this Grace Which Angels so admire And feel the Shines of that bright Face Which they to see desire But when all Mystick Truths shall be Plac'd in a clearer Light What Joy Christ Face to Face to
True they the highest Thoughts surpass Can't be in Words exprest Yet something of 'em you may tell And wonder out the rest Remember all his mighty Deeds And all his Sufferings too How he abas'd his Glorious Self To bleed and die for you Remember all the Shame and Scorn The Vinegar and Gall The gaping Wounds thrô which he pour'd His Blood his Life and All. His Vertues and his Miserie 's Both numberless were found Sorrows from Earth from Heaven and Hell His innocent Soul surround Crucify'd by the worst of Men Forsaken by the best With th' endless Number of our Sins Sins endless Weight oppress'd He felt the Curses of the Law His Father's Wrath sustain'd Endur'd the cruel shock of all The Powers of Hell unchain'd But after all victorious He In Triumph did ascend And now prepares us Crowns and Thrones And Joys that ne're shall end HYMN XXXI As the 25 Psalm LORD Thou hast giv'n to us The True and Living Bread Thy Body as upon the Cross The painful Cross it bled Thy Blood 's a precious Wine The Heart of God it chears With Heav'nly Sweets and Joys Divine It calms our guilty Fears A Living Spring thy Side Thy pierc'd Side did impart Through which a vital Juice did slide Down from thy melting Heart This Crimson Stream with those Thy Hands and Feet did yield A Bath for Sinners does compose In which they 're cleans'd and heal'd Such Blessings LORD in Thee If at thy Cross we meet What Joys will in thy Kingdom be O how Divinely sweet When Thou with Glory crown'd Thy Saints on Thrones wilt place And satiate all thy Guests around With th' Vision of thy Face From that blest Paradise None e're shall be exil'd None by a Serpent's tempting Voice Of Joy and Life beguil'd The Tree of Life shall chase Death thence and all its Fears Rivers of Pleasure there have place And there are none of Tears HYMN XXXII As the 100 Psalm LET all who love our Saviour's Name That Name so full of Heav'nly Grace In Songs of Triumph spread his Fame Through every Age and every Place He kindly laid aside his Crown And Robes of awful Majesty And in a Servant's Form came down To bear a Cross and on it die With Tears and Sweat and Blood besmear'd This Holy Lamb was sacrific'd By the rude Multitude was jeer'd And by profaner Priests despis'd But dying thus he pluck'd the Sting From Death and rising from the Grave He triumph'd o're the mighty King Of Terrors as a Captive Slave Then to his Heav'nly Throne was rais'd From whence he 'll come again to be Throughout the World ador'd and prais'd By every Tongue and every Knee Tho Tears and Blood and Spittle here Clouded profan'd and marr'd his Face The Mid-day Sun is not so clear Now 't is adorn'd with every Grace The Heav'nly Hosts his Beauties praise While clad in glorious Robes of Light He darts innumerable Rays Around for mortal Eyes too bright Of this his Glory they 'll partake Who once deform'd and odious were For that pure Blood he shed can make A Leprous Soul all clean and fair Their Bodies too he will refine Vile Bodies under which they groan Shall with Immortal Beauty shine Render'd all lovely like his Own HYMN XXXIII WHat wondrous things do we behold At this Mysterious Board What copious Matter for a Song Of Praises they afford Extended on a Cross we see The Lord whom we adore Both giving and receiving Wounds Bath'd in Triumphant Gore No Victor's Robe so rich a Dye Before did ever stain No Champion such a Victory Before did ever gain Glory and Strength his Torments add To all his mighty Deeds His Enemies fly and fall the more The more he groans and bleeds Tho the Law 's Curse lights on his Head While Satan wounds his Heel His Body 's bruis'd by Men his Heart Death's cruel Sting doth feel Yet with firm Courage he o're all Bears up his Conquering Head Till on their Captive Necks his Feet In solemn Triumph tread This Shock our LORD sustain'd Alone But makes us share the Spoils He felt his Father's dreadful Frowns That we might have his Smiles To cure our Wounds and putrid Sores Was pierc'd in every Limb His Cross our Tree of Life became A Tree of Death to him But tho once Dead He 's now Alive And lives for ever-more Then let his Saints who in Him live His Sacred Name adore HYMN XXXIV As the 100 Psalm COME let us all who here have seen And tasted too our Saviour's Grace From his bless'd Table to his Cross In Thought his weary Footsteps trace Let 's trace Him up to Calvary Not flag as once his Followers did Who when they 'd at his Table supp'd Forsook their suffering Lord and fled Into the Garden first he goes Where Mortal Fears beset him round Sins pressing Weight bows down his Soul And sinks his Body to the Ground Here prostrate as he lay he groans And pours out Prayers with fervent Cries Till he sweats Drops of Blood to mix With Floods that issue from his Eyes Yet are his Sorrows but begun By one Disciple he 's betray'd Another Him with Oaths denies The rest all run like Sheep afraid Falsly accus'd he 's doom'd to die Loaded with Blasphemy and Scorn He 's rudely buffeted and bound His Sacred Flesh with Scourges torn His Temples wear a Wreath of Thorns His Reverend Face is spit upon His weary Shoulders bear a Cross And afterward he 's nail'd thereon Between two Thieves he lingring dies While thousand Tortures on Him meet His Heart 's dissolv'd within his Blood Flows out in Streams from Hands and Feet These Streams join'd with that other Flood That gush'd out from his wounded Side Do make a Sovereign Bath wherein The Leprous Soul is purify'd HYMN XXXV HAppy are they our LORD has chose In his blest Courts to dwell His Praises still their Thoughts employ Their Tongues his Glory tell There He his Loveliness makes known To all who love his Name And is to them a glorious Crown And beauteous Diadem With a Celestial Banquet there His Table 's richly spread The Wine 's the Tincture of his Veins His Body is the Bread To this blest Treat he calls his Friends And bids 'em seast thereon Pours fragrant Oil upon their Heads Gives Robes to every one Nay every contrite Mind to him A Holy Temple proves For humble Souls are his Delight And He dwells where he loves He at the Door of every Heart Does his kind Calls

't is the Blessed Son of God All full of Wounds all stain'd with Gore A Mighty Conqueror indeed Who conquers by receiving Blows To give Wounds first Himself does bleed And by his Death subdues his Foes He treads 'em down tho all Alone And with their Blood his Vesture's stain'd But first is all bath'd in his own His own by many a Wound is drain'd His Blood Hell's subtile Powers confounds To them a Mortal Liquor proves But is a Balm to heal our Wounds A Wine to chear the Souls he loves The Vessels that contain'd this Juice A Spear and ruder Nails did broach And while his Flesh they wound and bruise His Heart was broken with Reproach But bruis'd and broke and mangled thus This Sacrifice our Pardon gain'd And thus prepar'd is Food to us By which we live and are sustain'd Thrice happy they whose Tents around Such Heavenly Blessings still are spread Whose Cup is with Salvation crown'd Their Board with True and Living Bread Praise him whose Mercies know no end But to a vaster Sum arise Than Sins themselves for these extend To Heaven but those above the Skies HYMN XXXVII As the 100 Psalm OThers may tell of famous things Done by their Heroes and their Kings The LORD we serve them all exceeds For mighty Sufferings mighty Deeds The Torments he has undergone The Glorious Vict'ries he has won Armies of wondring Angels cause To fill the Heavens with loud Applause Deep in our Breasts let us record The Story of our Dying LORD As we his kind Memorials view Our Wonder and our Songs renew From Heav'n the Lord of Glory came On Earth to bear Reproach and Shame The Son of God his Face did cloud Under a mortal Body's Shrowd The King of Kings a Crown adorns Instead of Gems all set with Thorns He whom the Angels prais'd and blest Is made the Rabble's Scorn and Jest. The Meek the Iust and Holy One Under the Weight of Sin did groan The Prince of Life would learn to die And be as Low as he was High He that distributes Crowns and Thrones Hangs on a Tree and bleeds and groans He on a Cross resigns his Breath Who keeps the Keys of Hell and Death 'T was thus because he 'd have it so That we his Wondrous Love might know To rescue us he was betray'd To make us free a Pris'ner made T' exalt us in the Dust did roll And broken was to make us whole To give us Pleasure felt our Pain And dy'd that we might Life obtain Thus Sin Death and the Powers of Hell Conquer'd disarm'd and wounded fell He mounted then his Throne above And conquers Sinners by his Love LORD since our Pardon and our Bliss Were bought at such a Price as this As Thou art ours we 're Thine alone Thine will we be and not our own The more difficult Words explained Antitype that which is represented by a Type or Figure assume receive attract draw commemorate bring to remembrance deplore bewail Effusion pouring forth exil'd banished expiate make Satisfaction for extinguish quench filial Child-like Hero a Man of a noble Spirit imbibe drink up infernal hellish mystick secret or obscure Odor sweet Smell presides sits as Chief prostrate with the Face to the Ground revere respect or reverence satiate satisfy Splendor Brightness vital living FINIS ADVERTISEMENT ADvice to the Young or the Reasonableness and Advantages of an Early Conversion to God demonstrated in three Sermons on Eccles. 12.1 The Groans of a Saint under the Burden of a Mortal Body A Funeral Sermon on 2 Cor. 5.4 Both by Ios.

Yes LORD we will remember Thee And thy Love more than fragrant Wine We 'll call to mind thy Death whereby Thou art made ours and we made Thine Our right Hands first shall lose their Art Our Tongues forget to speak or move Before we will forget thy Wounds Those Everlasting Marks of Love We 'll thus commemorate thy Cross Until thou com'st on Earth again And LORD do thou remember us And haste to take thy Power and reign HYMN IV.

Blessed LORD did haste Thither let 's follow Him and see How he begins of Death to taste He saw of Sins an endless Scrowl Millions of Sins of Crimson Red All meeting on his spotless Soul While he stood charg'd in Sinners stead He knew the Terrors of the LORD The Censures of his Righteous Law Naked the bright avenging Sword And brandish'd o're his Head he saw Horror and Anguish on him seize His Soul 's bow'd down with mortal Fears He cries out as his Griefs increase Sweats Drops of Blood weeps Floods of Tears But who can tell how much he felt On that Curs'd Tree whereon he dy'd While 's Heart like flowing Wax did melt His Strength was like a Potsherd dry'd There as his panting Body hung The Powers of Darkness all combin'd Their flaming Arrows at him flung To fill with thousand Wounds his Mind Men by whose cruel Hands he bled Ungrateful Men for whom he dy'd As void of Pity as of Dread Blaspheme him and his Pains deride His very Friends like timorous Sheep Are scatter'd from their Shepherd now His Father's Anger wounds him deep And down to Death all makes him bow No Pains no Cost our God would spare Revolted Sinners to regain That they might Robes of Glory wear And with him in

In every beauteous Grace From Glory unto Glory chang'd As we behold thy Face O LORD I 'll treasure in my Soul The Mem'ry of this Love And thy Dear Name shall still to me A grateful Odor prove Thy Friends the Excellent on Earth Shall be my great Delight And when alone I 'll make thy Law My Study Day and Night Where Thou dost pitch thy Tent and where Thy Honour designs to dwell There I 'll fix mine and there reside There thy Love's Wonders tell There of thy Love full Draughts I 'll take To chear this Heart of mine Thy Love more fragrant and more sweet Than Bowls of Generous Wine HYMN XXIII As the 100 Psalm OUR LORD a Banquet has prepar'd And to 't each hungry Soul invites Whom He at 's holy Table meets To bless with most refin'd Delights The Grape 's pure Blood and Flower of Wheat He
