Blessedness of Pardon Rom. 4.6 MAN's blessedness most absolute thus David doth express Whose faith alone God doth impute to him for righteousness 7. For blessed is the man saith He whose pardon is brought in To clear him of Iniquity and cover all his sin 8.3 Blessed is He to whom the Lord imputeth none offence And thus the scripture doth record man's blessedness from hence 24.3 And unto us doth so remain if we in Him do trust Who dy'd for sin and rose again to justifie th' unjust Rev. 1.4.5.11 To Father Son and Holy Ghost all glory be therefore As was and is to th' uttermost and shall be evermore Hymn 25.

grief and fear We cry'd to God and he gave ear Out of the depths of hell we cry'd And he unto our Pray'r reply'd For thou hadst plung'd us in the deep In midst of Seas where waters keep Surrounding floods with waters vast And all thy Billows o're us pass'd We are cast out then did we say Out of thy sight quite cast away Yet one look more we will afford Towards thy holy Temple Lord. The waters compass'd us about Even to the soul they lanched out The depths had us encompassed The weeds were wrapp'd about our head To th' bottom of the Seas we went 'Twixt endless Bars of mountains pent Yet was our life when under trod Brought up by thee O Lord our God! When as our soul within did faint We thought on thee in our complaint And then to thee came in our prayers As by thy holy Temple stayrs They that observe deceitfull Lies And trust to Idol-vanities Forsake the tenders of thy Grace Which as their own they might embrace But we will sacrifice to thee With thankfull songs of melody And pay our Vows besides our Songs Salvation to the Lord belongs Hymn 34. Descending of the Spirit Numb 11.29 2 Cor. 3.18 O That the people of the Lord were Prophets every one Such as the Lord of 's own accord would pour his Sp'rit upon That we might all with open face behold as in a glass The glorious image of his grace upon our souls to pass And by degrees of Glory thus be chang'd as still we shall Ev'n by the Sp'rit of God in us that worketh all in all To Father Son and Holy Ghost all glory be therefore As was and is to th' uttermost and shall be evermore Hymn 35. Drunkard's Cup and Calamities Prov. 23.31 LOOK not upon the Wine fill'd up when sparkling red and bright It gives his colour in the Cup and moves it self aright For in the end that pleasant thing which did so much entice Bites as a Serpent and shall sting like to the Cockatrice Strange women shall thine eyes behold strange words thou shalt rehearse And lust shall make thy heart full bold to utter things perverse As one that floats upon the Sea and sleeps exceeding fast Such shalt thou be Or just as they that sleep upon the mast Thou shalt discern the strokes set on and blows but all in vain For when the fit is past and gone thou seek'st it yet again Hymn 36.

PART 1 Pet. 2.13 Submit your selves in every thing to th' Ordinance of Men Whether it be unto the King as the Supream of them Or to inferiour Governours whom his commissions raise For punishment of evil doers or for well doers praise For so 's the sacred will of God that ye by doing well May silence foolish tongues abroad and all mens clamours quell As free with freedom from offence and not to cloak thereby Rebellious Disobedience but serving the most high Have all men in esteem so good that no reproach may spring Fear God and love the Brotherhood and honour much the King. 3.

But if thou dost an evil thing then fear and fear again Because the person governing bears not the sword in vain Ibidem For he is God's chief Minister to execute his will With wrath upon the trespasser whoever doeth ill Ibidem For he 's God's minister to thee for thy great good and gain But fear t' offend because that he bears not the sword in vain Prov. 20.8 26.
