31 But I have pray'd that though thy faith be jolted It may not quite be overthrown and then Luk. 22 32 When thou 'rt recover'd help the other ten I 'll follow thee said Simon to the end Mat. 26 33 Mar. 14 29 Luk. 22 33 Joh. 13 37 Nor jail nor death it self shall me offend Nor death it self said He thou shall not twice Mat. 26 34 Mar. 14 30 Luk. 22 34 Joh. 13 38 Hear the Cock crow till thou deny me thrice But stoutly he and all the rest reply'd Mat. 26 35 Mar. 14 31 They never would deny him though they dy'd Before said he I sent you forth 't is true Luk. 22 35 And did miraculously succour you But now whatever shift ye make provide Luk. 22 36 And arm your selves for this tempestuous tide For as Isaiah saith I must be kill'd Is 53. 12.

I am the real Vine my Fathers care Joh. 15 1 Makes all true boughs of mine more clusters bear But ev'ry fruitless branch he takes away Joh. 15 2 And ye are prun'd by what you 've heard me say Joh. 15 3 Abide in me and I in you no fruit Joh. 15 4 Is born by those that leave the stock and root I am the root and stock the boughs are ye Joh. 15 5 In me you 're fruitful fruitless out of me Like out-cast wither'd branches that are good Joh. 15 6 For nothing but afford the fire food But keep in me and keep my words ye may Joh. 15 7 Be sure that God will hear you when ye pray My Father 's honour'd when much fruit ye bear Joh. 15 8 And men will say These His Disciples are Such as the Fathers love to me hath bin Joh. 15 9 Such mine hath been to you remain therein Therein ye shall remain do but my will Joh. 15 10 As I do his and am beloved still These words I sprinkle now like drops of dew To cherish and encrease my joy in you This is my will As I your elder Brother Joh. 15 12 Have loved you so love ye one another Father than this the love of more extends That one lay down his life to save his friends Joh. 15 13 My friends are ye while doing as y' are bidden The Masters mind from servitours is hidden Joh. 15 14 But unto you as unto friends have I Clearly reveal'd the Gospel-Mystery Joh. 15 15 I chose you to 't my spirit being in you Joh. 15 16 You 'll bear such fruit shall evermore continue Pray in my name and so be heard above Joh. 15 17 And as I said before each other love If unto you the world doth hatred shew Joh. 15 18 It hated me before it hated you Because I chose you out o th' world is shown Joh. 15 19 Its hatred for the world would love its own Ye must be serv'd like me observe that word Joh. 15 20 The servant is not greater than his Lord. They 'll use you so for bearing of my name Joh. 15 21 Because they know not him from whom I came Had I not acted like to God and spoke Joh. 15 22 As no man could their sin had had some cloak Joh. 15 23 Now all pretense is gone
offenses in my name And heav'n remits or else retains the same Joh. 20 23 8. But Thomas now call'd also Didymus Was absent when the Lord appeared thus Joh. 20 24 I 'll not believe 't said Thomas when they told him Joh. 20 25 I 'll not believe 't till I my self behold him Until I feel the wounds he did receive Both from the spear and nails I 'll not believe Now Thomas on the next Lords day was there Joh. 20 26 And then did Jesus first again appear When all the doors were bolted as before My peace said he be with you ever more Bring now thy finger Thomas and draw near Joh. 20 27 Feel thou the wounds were made by nails and spear And be not faithless Thomas then cry'd out Joh. 20 28 My Lord and God! no longer do I doubt Ah Thomas said the Lord but blest is he Joh. 20 29 That shall believe although he doth not see 9. His third more publick apparition was Joh. 21 14 Hard by the waters of Tiberias Joh. 21 1 Peter and half a dozen more had sought Joh. 21 2 All night for fish but not a fish had caught Joh. 21 3 Next morning Jesus stood upon the Land Joh. 21 4 But who it was they did not understand Children said He what vict'les have ye caught Joh. 21 5 They answer'd none Then try another draught You ' l find said Jesus on the right hand side Joh. 21 6 And when they cast his words were verify'd With such a shoal they could not pull them out Peter said John 't is Jesus out of doubt Joh. 21 7 Then Peter girt his coat about his waste And into th' Sea he cast himself for haste The other follow'd in the Ship and handed Joh. 21 8 The net along for quickly were they landed And to their great astonishment they spy'd Joh. 21 9 A fire with fish upon 't and bread beside Bring some said Jesus of your new-caught store Joh. 21 10 So Peter went and drew them quite a shore An hundred fifty three great Fish and yet Joh. 21 11 So great so many never brake the net And when he bade them come and dine not one Joh. 21 12 Durst ask him who he was as being known Then in his hands he took the fish and bread Joh. 21 13 And as his manner was distributed Simon said Jesus after they had eat Joh. 21 15 And is thy love to me so very great Simon reply'd Thou know'st my love to thee If it be so then feed my Lambs said he But Simon dost thou love thy Lord indeed Mat. 26. 33 75. Joh. 21 16 Indeed said he My sheep said Jesus feed But Simon dost thou love me more than these Joh. 21 17 This repetition did not Simon please Omniscient Lord said he my love to thee To thee is known Then feed my sheep said He. When thou wast young thou girt'st thy self about Joh. 21 18 And at thy pleasure walkedst in and out But when thou 'rt old shall others stretch and bind And carry thee full sore against thy mind But thus shall God be glorify'd in thee Joh. 21 19 Take up my Cross come now and follow me Joh. 21 20 Then Peter turning back saw John come too Joh. 21 21 O Lord said he and what shall this man do Joh. 21 22 Follow thou me said Jesus what if he Shall tarry till I come what 's that to thee Then did this fame among the Brethren fly Joh. 21 23 By a mistake that John should never dy That John whose pen describes th' eternal word Joh. 21 24 And doth we know the very truth record And many more great Miracles were done Joh. 21 25 That could not be recorded ev'ry one Joh. 20 30 For if a man should so exactly write The Volumes would be almost infinite Joh. 20 31 These plainly prove that He 's the Son of God Whose Name gives life without a Period 10. Then met above five hundred on that Hill 1 Cor. 15. 6. Mat. 28 16 In Galilee according to his will And when they saw him they ador'd him there Mat. 28 17 But some still thought a Spirit did appear All power 's mine said He to his eleven Mat. 28 18 All power 's giv'n me both in Earth and Heaven Go therefore and Disciple first the Jews Mat. 28 19 Mar. 16 15 Then to the Gentiles preach this welcome news And when they take this Covenant of mine Seal 't with the common purifying-sign Wash in the name of Father and of Son And of the Holy Ghost which three are one All that I bad you do to them commend Mat. 28 20 Lo I am with you even to the end No less than life or death eternal must Mar. 16 16 Depend on their believing or distrust They shall work miracles who first believe Mar. 16 17 The gift of languages shall they receive By my assistance and authority Mar. 16 18 They shall rebuke the sorest malady They shall cast Devils out take serpents up Mar. 16 19 And get no harm by any deadly cup. And when the Lord was glorify'd they wrought Mar. 16 20 These very signs to stablish what they taught 11. Next unto James the Lord appear'd saith Paul 1 Cor. 15. 7. And finally to his Apostles all Luk. 24 49 For then upon the fortieth day with them Acts He being assembled at Jerusalem The great and glorious mysteries explain'd Luk. 1 3 Which to his Holy Kingdom appertain'd And strictly charg'd them also not to leave Luk. 1 4 Jerusalem until they should receive The promis'd Baptism of the Holy Ghost Luk. 1 5 And that within ten days he said at most Lord wilt thou then said they again restore Luk. 1 6 The Kingdom unto Israel as before 'T is not for you said he to understand The times reserved in the Fathers hand Luk. 1 7 When y' are endu'd with power from on high Luk. 1 8 Then what y' have heard and seen that testify Not only in Judea but rehearse These joyful tydings though the universe 12. Then Jesus led them forth to Livet Luk. 1 9 Hard by the place where Bethany was set And lifting up his hands to bless them there Ascended through the Angel-crowded air At last the Clouds those curtains of the skies His body shadow'd from their greedy eyes And as they still lookt after him they spy'd Luk. 1 10 Two men in white apparel by their side What means said they this wondering what means Luk. 1 11 This gazing up to heav'n ye Nazarenes This Jesus whom ye view so took away Shall so return to you another day Rev. So come Lord Jesus make no longer stay Joh. 22 20 Oh come Lord Jesus quickly come away Amen and Amen
