THe Reason why on Divine things I write Is that my Subjects will my pains requite I dare affirm who best perceives the cause 'T is not conceited nor to gain applause They are allow'd the contrary will judge While these pass Censure I 'le forbear to grudge I can discern it does exceed the Pen Of the most skilful for to please all men One likes not this another likes not that The Writer's mean or 's writing dull

all these things shall be added unto you Gods Kingdoms and his righteousness these ought The very first things in mans life be sought First in each day of mans mortallity First in each business of each day and why 'T is Gods command that these should be the prime Of all mans enterprises during time On the word Amen and its signification Amen this word may mortall men admire Amen's a witness and Amen's desire Amen's a Truth that never will decay Amen concludes Petitions when we pray Amen procures Gods blessing or his Ban Amen shall Seal the wo or weal of man Happiness will be his Portion that

Monarch on Earth are but the dayes of a mortall man hence I inferred an observation from the Temporality of the Popes Holiness The Pope his Period has the mightiest man Dame natures date Points him his mortall span And when his span's expir'd what is the Pope More than the meanest beyond natures scope The mightiest and the meanest thus you see Though not in Earth yet in Earths womb agree On the

raged Righteousness Then am I Righteous in a righter dress Of Death either in Sin to Sin or for Sin I have been dead but am a live again Yet needs must die or else in death remain For would I live and not desire to die My doom were death to all Eternity Both death and life I highly do esteem Though this to some a Paradox may seem Of mans Birth Death and Buriall as naturally and Spiritually

man once born to die The life or death that dures Eternally On Genesis the 31. ver 5 And Jacob sware by the fear of his Father Isack viz The God of his Father Isaac I am a fraid because I dread to bear What 's Pertinent unto my cause of fear I fear my fear yet not as though not true But least I fear my fear less than fears due My fear requires my fear at fears command Who fears a right these fears shall understand On the words of David in Psalm the 47. vers 8 Awake up my glory namely his tongue Awake my glory hast to glorifie Thy glorious glory in sincerity That glories and is glorying in my fear If fruits of glory plentiously I bear And glorifying cannot be deny'd Because Gods glory mortals glorify'd Upon the expression of the Prophet Jeremiah Jer. 15.16 Thy words were sound and I did eat them and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoycing of my heart By me thy words were found who did them eat Internally the same oft to repeat And 't is my hope with these not to depart The Joy and the rejoycing of my heart To me they are since I the same retain Within my Bosom as my greatest gain THE CONCLUSION Thus far arriv'd my pious muse and I Delighting Scripture verse to versify 'T is
