it is for sin A corrosive to cure A purging portion is therein To make thee clean and pure I 'll wean thee from the world thereby That clearly thow mayest see There is no Happinesse but I And heavens felicity 6. Afflictions fire must thee refine And trie thy Christian grace Therefor see thou do not repine If thow wouldst see my face Affliction makes thee mynd thy God Before thou went to stray O come thou then and kiss that Rod That leads in Heavens way 7.

Thou shalt at last find that indeed Thou didst sustain no loss 10. I out of darkness can bring light Of bitter I bring sweet Confusions all I order right And do that which is meet The' Chymist doth of stones extract Liquors medicinal The sharpest crosses I will make Ev'n for thy good befall 11. My wisdom pow'r and goodness great My truth and justice pure By this they alwayes Glory get Therefore thou must endure Cast thou thy burden on the Lord And he shall thee sustain O praise Him all with one accord His grace doth still remain SECTION III. Promises of spiritual and eternal blessings being the principal positive mercies 1. Come and admire the crystal streams Of overflowing grace Admire the radiant rayes and beams Of this fair Phebus face He 's Ocean-full His Treasure great Is inexhaustible The matchless mercies which I got Are inexpressible 2.

I will rejoyce to find my LORD For my great portion My hope I 'll fix upon his word Which brings Salvation I 'll Blush t' offend my Heav'nly King My anger 's turn'd to zeale I shall oppose each sinful thing When grace it shall prevail 8. Faith Hope and charity will he Into my heart infuse With Righteousness and piety So his way will I chuse The Rubies ar but Rubish naught The Saphir's not so fine As is the saint from Heaven taught Adorn'd with grace divine 9.

So then with GOD is made my peace With men and Angels too Each creature then shall me embrace And all their service do Access I have to throne of Grace My Prayer he doth hear The smilings of His blessed face Doth all my spirits cheer 12. Assurance fills me so with joy That I cannot express I 'm sure nothing can me annoy No Creature more or less My Burges bill with heav'ns quill Is so confirm'd to me From Satan sin I 'll fear non ill Though they great tyrants be 13.

And that he may bereave me of my right Sometimes ane Angel seems to be of light 19. I know now what the Lord of me desires Peace truth and mercy Iustice he requires To be renewed in the inner-man And bring forth fruits with all the strength I can 20. If to my self severe to others myld Sweet gentle calme and harmles as a Chyld The fear of God and loyaltie to Cesar To all men love in this He takes great pleasure 21. I purpose Lord to live no more in sin I strayed long but now I will begin To serve the Lord with all my heart and strength That heav'ns bliss I may enjoy at length 22.

THE DOOR OF HOPE OR A CORDIAL FOR A FAINTING SOUL Affording some further Encouragement to draw near unto GOD and to adventure on the Scepter of Mercy from the consideration of the fulness and freeness of GODS Bounty and Clemency and from absolute and conditional promises such as poor Sinners can lay hold upon 1. BUt now I find some Soul revive I find my Cordial Cheering my Sp'rit that I may live Allaying bitter gall Glad tydings I begin to hear Sion doth mercy sing Sweet JESUS can me draw full near Unto Jehovah King 2. Thou art most gracious wise and strong Thou King of Heav'n most high Therefore I 'll wait and not think long Till thou send some supply A Supplicant thrown at thy feet Thy mercy to implore I 'll begge and knock till almes I get I 'll waite at Heav'ns Door 3. Necessity makes me to waite I cannot find but here I will with humble Sp'rit and meek Unto my God draw neare When I begin for to recount Thy mercies manifold In number they do farre surmount What Pen or Tongue have told 4. They 're high they 're deep they 're long and broad They reach the starry frame They 're over all thy works o God To magnify thy name The freenes of Thy goodness great Make me for to conceive That such a wretch may mercy get And this I humbly crave 5. It is thy glory to extend Thy mercy where there is No merit then thy mercy send And let me have the bliss I 'm sick in sin both blind and lame Poor and a wretched slave An object fit for mercy am Oh let me mercie have 6. Thy Treasure is so full of grace Nothing can it impare Thou ever gives and hast no less O let me have a share Thou sent a Mediator good When man did not require Ev'n this Messias for his need When none could give an hire 7. Since thou hast sent and he is come Of meer free Love and Grace Oh do bestow on me a crumb Thos sent unto the Gentiles light When they by sin most vile Had lost all interest and right And under sad exile 8. Thou mad'st the barren Woman beare More than the married Wife Thou gav'st the Olive wilde a share In promises of life Then I am one of Japhets race O do not me exclude Give me a drop of saving grace Though but a spurious brood 9. Thou promisest the stony hearts To mollify and then To write thy Law in inward parts Of worthless wretched men I find this promise absolute To those who have no grace Thou' rt found of those who sought thee not O Peerless Prince of Peace 10. If these be free why shall I then My self from thence seclude When God excepts no mortal man That 's come of Adams seed Their Ocean-fulness can supply All that I stand in need They re precious for they purchas 't be By Christs most precious blood 11 The freeness of thy promises Breeds hope Their fulness suits All my defects Their preciousness With all my wants it meets Thy Soveraign supremacy Makes me thee waite upon As well becomes a wretch to lie At Thy feet while I moan 12. Thou say'st Thou 'lt with thy people dwell And give thy self to them Thou 'lt be their God and then they shall Thy glorious works proclaim Oh what am I but dust and clay And wilt thou condescend With me to lodge O happy day Come then thy mercie send 13. My heart thy house do thou prepare For Thee that glorious guest For I have no delicious fare For such a Royal feast But usher in thy Sp'rit and He Will give what may thee please Then welcome welcome shall thou be This will my Spirit raise 14 O give then that good Sp'rit of grace In thy way to conduct He to my conscience Will give peace And plainly me instruct In Christ the Vine He will me graff And wholly me renew All fears and tears He will drive off And be my Seal most true 15 In midst of every Stormy blast Of sad vexation Assures me of my interest In Thy Salvation Against the fiery Serpents sting Of strong tentation He me defends so that I sing With consolation 16. He 'll give his Son if that I call In Truth and verity Who will to me prove All in All And cure my misery So shall the blessed Trinity take me to be their own Henceforth no sin or misery shall my poor soul cast down 17 He 'll wisdom be to give me light He 's Righteousness to clear Lest divine Justice do me fright Hee pay'd a ransom dear He is SANCTIFICATION Me wholly to renue He 'll work me full Redemption For he 's a Saviour true 18. Into that gulfe prepar'd of old I 'm ready for to fall But of these twiggs I take some hold And yet for mercy call Thou art that Sweet Samaritan That cures a wounded soul. Thou never did'st reject that man On thee his care did roll 19. The weary-laden Thou dost call That they may come to Thee Thou 'lt ease them of their burden all And cure their misery Thou promis'd life to them who hear The hungry Soul to fill The thristy Soul with wine to chear Of consolation still 20. They 'r sav'd who call upon Thy name Who knock at mercies gate They who believe meet with the same And who their sins do hate Who in Thy precepts way do go By them their life to square Thou wilt to them Salvation show They ever Blessed are 21. I hear I pray I do believe Lord helpe my unbeleef O do my sillie Soul relieve from all my pain and greef I 'm sorrie for my sinful falls Thy voice I will obey I 'll answere when on me thou calls Alas too long I stray 22.
