And they are fifteene As euer the Troubles of Gods people are ouerdone in there Redresses When God humbles for sinne it is but in Pauxillo reliqui Some small leauing of vs for a moment but when he visits againe ●say 26. 20. and redeemes his people then He rayses a mighty Saluation for vs as we say in our Benedictus Now of all the Psalmes in the whole booke this that I haue read and not one beside this hath had the honour to be in at both Capacities It is one of the Graduall Psalmes It carries the soule Vp And it is one of the Paenitentiall Psalmes It brings her Downe to the dust of death too We may say of it as Psal 22. 25. sometimes S.

In Apud te they find the Father 2. In Propitiatio the Sonne according to that of St Iohn ipse est Propitiatio in the 1. Iohn 2. 2. he is the Propitiation for all our 1.

Augustine Here are the two Twin-Sacraments of Christs Church In Propitiatio there is the Sacrament of the Altar Bloud for Propitiation is per fidem in Sanguine in the. 3. Rom. 25. Through Faith in his Bloud There you haue One Sacrament And in Timearis the Sacrament of Baptisme Water for Timor Domini fons est vitae 14. Prov. 16. The feare of the Lord is the Fountaine or Font of life There you haue the Other But because we considered this our Text as piece of a Song it will be most proper for vs to found the Three Parts of it vpon the common Scale of Musick And then here is I.
