Highly commend his seat O Iohn o thou didst see the Son And Fathers honour high And the Angels that do delight About the throne to fly And thou didst sing Haleluja's note In the most glorious sound And all this it is coming forth Babylon to confound O thou shewest all croking frogs Should fall into the lake Though now they testifie against Christ And at his spirit gape Iohn thou hadst lovely visions sweet Thou sawest witness die And thou sawest them revive againe And Babylonians fly And thou declaredst of their fall That they should surely dye Thou also sawest the Kings raigne 'T was he opened thy eye O Iohn thou didst see holy ones Round about the Kings throne That often had sighed for Christ With many a longing grone O thou shewedst the lovely Bowe About the seat so high Which no Babylonians can approach For it will make them fly O Iohn thou sawest and didst write Through the spirit most choice And didst cry Haleluja With a sweet praysing voice Thou excellent beloved one Thy visions were most clear Thou enteredst and hadst a sight And didst the voices hear 'T was thou that shewedst the eternal Which from God forth did come And didst witness unto the same For him that is the Son And Iohn thou also dost declare Unto the Godhead high That amongst men did take a seat And for sinners did die Thou shewest the resurrection And what ' gainst foes should be And speakest of the voice of speech And of that high glory Thou then was drawn so neer to it And enterance didst make To view the bright rare shining son That did thee to him take Up invision in Patmos Isle O there he did appear The same Lord Jesus whom thou lovest In bosome to lye neer O glorious is the vision Lord Of the latter dayes time And yet this generation Doth not the vision minde Except it be through Rabbi's voice Their wise and prudent men But few of these did see the Sun He w'ant made known to them O how did Iohn weep untill that The Book was opened But then he soon was raised up And in him rejoyced That was found worthy to unseal O he did take delight To see what latter flock should have In his clear vision light He saw the Candlesticks of Gold So pure so fair and bright And view'd the Stars the which also Were brought unto his sight He loved for to behold the throne And one the Elders look And rejoyc'd at the opening Of the Lambs sealed Book This loving John this loving John How still he higher goes And also he the Gosple preach'd To sinners and to foes But when he comes to see the throne O how joy did abound O then he sung Haleluja to The Lord for his high Crown When he into the City comes That was so paved with Gold O he rejoyced very much In that perfect rare mold When he into the City comes Where the fresh Rivers be He is refreshed and doth pluck Fruit from the living tree When he into the City comes O there he doth behold The marvelous rich shine there is Brighter then any Gold When he into the City comes Where Christ is admired How glad is he to see the Lord His Saviour and his head O what a lovely way is this That the spirit him led To see and to behold the Lamb That for his sins had bled O what a dilicate sight had John When spirit did him call To see his Saviour so dear The City and the wall The walls and Bulworks he did see That be so very strong O it was a choice sight indeed None can this City wrong Alas poor souls you can't it see You can't tell what is here Except it be for that vision That in Patmas appear'd You gaze and hear a while I know Some wonder for to see But O you cannot so take in This pretious melody Alas you cannot see it so You don't this glory know O that you did see Jesus Christ It would make your hearts to glow O
to tables of stone To honour and set up a day ' Gainst the beloved one O then shee 'l say why did you so Much for old Covenant plead When that the Gospel you did own Should you not Sinai leave O she will love the spirits Law And for it she will goe And they that run away from it Shall surely have a blow O shee will not then start aside Shee 'l not arguments bring To strike at the new Covenant That concerneth her King O what a glorious time is that That brings the Jubily year O how can they do any thing Against this to appear O my heart and head pained is To think what will become Of them that after so much love Do goe against the Son O it doth paine and wound my heart In fellowship to hear That against the new Covenant Poor Children should appear O blessed King O blessed King O who lays it to heart So as to wrastle much with thee To arise and take his part That is risen up and lifted high O come and break all down That is against new Covenant And resurrection Crown Thou bringest here a spirit Lord Which for poor Children crave Yet they do not regard the song But when I am layd in grave Some shall then witness for this mouth And say a song indeed 'T was that here to us was brought down Souls to cheer up and feed Come poor souls hear the lovely sound It will give your hearts ease Think not that poor one here doth speak Be not at it displeas'd Though the vessell be very meane Wherein this Counsell be Yet O come and partake of it And do not from it flye O it is not of Croatures make O had you but a taste You would not run away from it But unto it would haste O it is not a mixed food It gives counsell to all It doth not lead from Scripture rule But doth poor sinners call O the King liketh well of it And you that are his sheep Do not bring weapons ' gainst it but Indeavour him to meet And O dear souls O you that do So drink in this choice wine O have a care that nothing may Intice you with words fine And come you poor complaining souls That walks so neer to ground O come you and embrace this love O hear the joyfull sound O what am I O what am I But a poor silly one A bruised reed thou mak'st abide That cannot stand alone But o my strength is from above It doth come forth from thee Which makes me so it flam'd with love And so in singing be It is a glorious speech indeed And a most mighty voice O that poor souls knew more of it It is glorious and choice Lord thou giv'st much and here dost come Thanks be given to thee O take it I it here present It s thine it s not from me And thou sayst so I will dear Child Then Father I am content To suffer

Here begins a Dialogue between the Father and the Son I Am willing saith Jesus Christ To come in such a forme And I doe not grudge to be made A servant here to warne To warne sinners up thereby And to draw them to thee O saith the Son I love this work It is felicity But Son saith God thou also must Be pinched on the Cheek And thou must have thy hair pluckt off O this must be thy seat A seat of sorrows Son thou must Have and rebukes below Well Father saith Christ I am content And doe not fear to goe But Son unto the slaughter thou Must be brought as a sheep And be a gazing stock to all And with derision meet Be it so saith the Son seeing God Will have me so to doe I am content to be so us'd That sinners may be new But Son thou must doe more than this What saist thou unto that Canst thou bear the great heavy stroke Which will lay thy heart flat I that I can saith the dear Son I will bear what thou wilt That so I may goe cleanse and purge Poor sinners from their filth Thou must satisfie all O Son And every thing fulfill And give what ere I doe require What sayst thou is it thy will The Law will have its full due sum That sinners should have brought O be it so saith Jesus Christ I will drink up this draught The Law and death and sin at once Will come upon thy back O saith the Son this can't me skare Not in doing me slack And the Father doth likewise say This will cause a going Of the sharp spear into thy flesh Pierced by cruel men And then the bloud and water will Gush out from thy sweet side O though it doth saith Christ I will In my Father confide But Son thou must be left alone Disciples will fall asleep Thouh they doe yet I will look up Unto my Fathers seat But Son the hand that dipt with thee In that sweet dish of meat Will take mony to sell thee and Will
thee betray and cheat Be it so saith the Son yet I Will not start from thy will But cheerfully goe one and not In any tittle sail But son to adde unto all this They 'l sell thee to the foe And thy company and number â—hall have a broken toe â—e it so saith Christ yet I shall soon Make up the number again 〈◊〉 shall be compleat in number 〈◊〉 my throne and my Raign And still the son saith Father I Will cheerfully on go â—or to accomplish redemption â—mongst rebellious folk â—ut then Pilot will thee condemn â—e'l condemn thee to death â—his saith the son don't sadden me â—or it will bring much health â—ut there valiant Peter will fall â—nd he will thee deny â—e that thou saidst shall be a rock Whereon to build so high 〈◊〉 it is he shall deny thee 〈◊〉 open common place 〈◊〉 but saith Christ

there about And if a stranger bear my cross 〈◊〉 shall see grace shine out And I shall the more thee admire Therefore I do not fear To venter upon the whole work To bring deliverance here O but my son there will come more Thou must be nailed to cross And there hang between two robbers This thou must have at last Well if it be so yet I will still Say thy work it is sweet For I shall there meet with and have More company to thy sent Though I one of my number lost Thou on cross bringest again This doth not startle me at all Nor won't my glory stain But son the while thou art there nayl'd They 'l

none may thee remove But saith the son though stones be strong And sepulchre sealed up I know that thou wilt reach thy hand Thou my God wilt me pluck But son thou must lay there three dayes And many

throughout The Spirit moved the waters and The Spirit ordered depths The Spirit gathered the Sea And the dry ground is left The Spirit is very glorious And wonderous in all And the depths doth unto the depths For his high prayses call The Spirit shineth on waters The choice Deity face Did there appear and then waters Did swiftly run apace O they do swiftly ebb and flow That they may praise throughout The sea after its kind doth praise And the springs round about The Spirit moves and all things then Do look most sweet and choyce And all things had its limits set By the Deities voice The Spirit moves on waters and Then day and night comes forth And all things had its due set place This is Scriptures report O when you see the waters and When you the Sea behold O think upon these movings that Such mysteries unfold O the time cometh on apace Those that in darknesse lie Shall be called to wonder at Thy glorious Spirit high The Mâ—rriners that to fro So on the seas abound Shall take notice of Spirit high In its Original Crown Those that thus travel in the depth And on the waters lay Shall then behold the Spirit high In its Creation day They that do on the waters go And the Lords wonders see Shall sweetly rejoyce and sound forth The Spirits high glory The Spirit mov'd on the waters That there the ships might swim That should be made use of after That fallen man did sin The Spirit caused ships to sail That Creation might be The more beheld and there you may The Spirits movings see He gave wisdom for to build ships That his works might appear In their great choice variety To man more bright and clear And that you might learn the more On God in all to look And be carried forth unto him In his Original book It is a delicate spirit which Is in Deity wall The spirit it is very good It comes from him that is all The spirit is Creator too And with the word doth joyne O the spirit is one also In Deity divine The spirit in Original Hath been with God and Christ And also doth proceed from them And is eternal life The spirit on the waters mov'd And great increase did come Of fishes which did multiply And in the waters swom In the waters variety Of fishes that are great And also such as are most sweet And choice delightful meat O what a rare spirit that moved Thus in Creation time A spirit and a lovely one That is high and sublime He made the whale so huge so high And so great every way So strong that it is as a King In the waters to sway Nothing can there before it stand But it wheels all about And hath a perfect victory In the Ocean throughout O the whale overturns ships It is a mighty thing That thus the greatest vessels split And to destruction bring A glorious spirit breathed forth On the waters that it Should thus contain the mighty whale That there as King doth sit For all things are by spirit made It ordered the whole And gave command to every thing In the Creation mold O Job when that thou camest out Thou shalt sing of the whale O thou shalt shew him as a King Over fishes and scale And thou that to God spakest of it When thou shalt see sons reign Upon thy standing tising feet Thou wilt admire the whale Thou wilt admire the spirit In its Creation rare Which so disposed every thing None can to it compare The spirit also it did make The little fishes small And his great power and his love Doth sweetly shine in all O the spirits moving was rare In all his fiery race In every thing it did appear On the Creation face But yet those that go on the sea Cannot thus sing of thee Without the knowledge of the Lord There is no melody But O go to the Marriners And lead them to thy seaâ— That they may read the spirits works In creation compleat Then when they on the waters go They will see spirit there And then they will in every thing Behold the spirit rare O go unto the Marriners Let them unto flesh die And let them relish the spirit And Jesus Christ espie O let them follow Jesus Christ The King of Nations great And they shall then give thanks to thee And run unto thy seat If that poor Marriner were here That in prison hath been Spirit would of the sea and ships Bee talking unto him If that that Marriner were here The spirit would to him sing That sea and ships should be usefull And employed for the King O if that Marriner would come The spirit would him aske Why that he did so often say Love should abide and last O if the prisoners would but mind What in their bonds they say They would act more for Iesus Christ In this back-sliding day If that the prisoners did mind this They would better fruit bring Which should be manisestly seen To all in every thing The spirit is in Creation seen In every Bâ—â—d that sings And in each creature that doth here On earth so sweetly spring O spirit thou art sweetly seen In thy creating houre In all things that here cometh forth In every plant and flower O spirit it sparkels and shines Forth in the Onix stone And in the Berill O spirit It is the rare choice one O the spirit shineth throughout It doth most sweetly look What a pleasant witness is this Wherein so much is put Its spirits influence doth came Trees to look fresh and green Each little sprig for to have sapp Whereon the leaves are seen It causeth blossoms and the fruit It is from spirits blow And his rare workmanship is seen In each garden below The spirit it is greatly seen In the creation all And it is reason that it should Be at the spirits call The spirit also did appear In threefold councill that To raise man-kind out of the dust On his creation sat Three is not spoken of before Nor in this manner nam'd But they are clearly mentioned when Poor man is to bee fâ—am'd That so he might behold them all And think on this love well Though other creatures had the three Yet not so visible Sure the worlds originall cannot Bring forth such a choice sound Le ts look up to this diety For there it doth abound O it doth greatly sparkel there But few can it behold So as to magnify this love That doth such things unfold The honour shew'd to man is great He is pleas'd above all For all are subject unto him At his command and call But when that he was form'd and fram'd He had not breath to breath But then the Lord did it covay And unto him bequeath Incomprehensible this love Dâ—ety breathed in This creature whom they had thus fram'd And given life to him Most glorious was his state and seat Till that an angell bright Became a serpent and
In an abiding ground And there 's no other cause for it But what in God is found The Tree of knowledge it did stand In Paradise and there Is also put the flaming sword Which is exceeding rare The flaming sword is also there That it might run through all That would be striking at this Tree Thinking to make it fall But who so striketh at this Tree The flaming sword shall cut And those that cavil at Spirit Shall surely have the hurt Some in this Generation Pretending much for Grace Say it was for all not only some But this doth it deface And though that Christ doth with sweet voyce Call to rebellious ones And they are left without excuse None can come to the Throne But such as in foreknowledge were O this is glorious Grace The Deity doth here shine forth In its election face O the Son he doth magnifie The Fathers grace and love But yet the Son he doth not spoyle Foreknowledge from above And poor Souls you will not then think Upon free will so much If you go forth to Jesus Christ And have redemptions touch O look unto the son of God Fo he foreknowledg knew And all the glorious things that so From Gods election grew And when souls rightly take a view O it is through Christs light Else its dangerous to look On that which is so bright The sword that was about the tree It had a lovely flame It did sorround foreknowledg tree That nothing could it stain The very spirit that did move In first creation so It also doth defend this tree Against the evill foe And O this glorious tree is-kept Though Babylon would have slain And hath indea voured by all means This flaming love to stain But O the sword is about it And this your faith shall see And therefore look up to the Lord For there is victory And do not fly against spirit Which doth so much appear For the truths of the diety And would draw your souls near Ezekiell he was taken up And did in vision bright Behold the glorious Diety He had a precious sight Of severall winged creatures when God thus did him up call For then most sweetly he beheld The Originall of all The spirits work in creation In rivers he is there And in dry land he doth appear In all things very rare And father and sons light and love Is in a l that was made And the spirit these three are one In all that then was said Then in redemption spirit comes And thereof he do h talk And shews the blessed royall King In his redemption walk The spirit of the son hath told And of the Father dear And to the creature doth apply And bringeth this love near The spirit reads originall book Not for himself alone But to apply redemption To the poor weeping one And therefore love poor souls to drink Of spirits wine so choice For that will cleanse your souls from sin And free you from all dross Come O you sober waiting ones You love to drink herein And for to tast of Jesus Christ Who frees the soul from sin Come waiting souls come what say you Unto this wine so sweet What say you to the clusters that You did from Canaan meet But O the scorner comes and laughs At Canaans clusters great But the children do not delight To sit in scorners seat But O come forth you sober ones And eat of the choice grape For the juce is refreshing sweet And after more you will gape O come you sincere sober ones For it s prepared for you For they are relished and toucht But by a very few Poor hearts you that do sigh and groane Gome drink of spirits wine It will carry to Jesus Chrst And will your souls refine O poor hearts methinks you should not Hear those would make you fly From the sweet teachings of this love Which in your hearts shall lie O the anointings of the Lord Will make your souls to shine O do not speak against that which Is so high and sublime It doth not favour any one It is not from the brain But it doth search the heart throughout And it doth try the reines O pray souls receive the spirit For it is very high It did create and form all things That you do here esple O pray souls love the spirit which Also doth shew the son In his redemption work so great For from him he doth come And O what doth the spirit show Of his anointing great And what will not anointing do Before the highest seat Pray waiting hearts drink of this wine It shall with you remain It will not onely fly to head But run in every vein O come poor unbeleeving ones Look to this royall grace And see the cups that over-flow They 'l fill your soul apace O Christ he minds the trembling heart And the wounded spirit That taketh what doth issue forth From his victorious merit Would you poor hearts have a spring time O come you and wait here For the cold winter it is gone And summer doth appear O come you drooping hearts O come For spirit doth love still To speak particularly to you Your empty souls to fill It is the publick spirit souls And it doth love to show The large and royall grace that doth To sinners overflow And the book of originall These things doth tell and bring Poor souls O come and read in it The matters of your King O Christ when he did rise from grave With Godhead spirit high He minded Maries tears and then Did pitty weeping eye It was his work for to ascend And swiftly go to throne Yet when a weeping Mary comes Hee 'l not leave her alone Without some words of comfort O He must to Mary talk And also send to Bretheren Who likewise love his walk She cries Rabbony and would touch But prethee Mary stay For I am not ascended yet Saith he but go that way He did not stay I cant now talk But wipes away her teares And speaks most kindly unto her That so she might not fear O what a glorious Christ is this That doth

CHrist person shewed what Angels spake To those dear ones of old His glorious person did shew sorth The figures and unfold The Tipes this branch from Jacob came That John did see so bright Which did open the seased book And his tears from him wipe The person of Christ Jacob did see When he travelled on the way He saw the Heavens opened And was comforted in that day He saw the royal Lâ—dder there Whereon divin nature walked Whereon the Angels loved to look And of it to Jacob talked Jacob must see God but he could Not come him for to reach Till the ladder was laid to Earth Wherein Christ body was preacht And carried up his eyes to behold And see the glory high Which did greatly revive Jacob And quickened much his eye The person of Christ did make out All that old Israell saw The Altar and the Tabernacle The person of Christ convey The person of Christ did shew forth the Rare mercie sea so choice Which was in the Arke and he holds out Clea ly in Gospel voice Its meaning he brought clearer light He comes in rich array With girdle of Gold about his paps Which John saw in his day The person of Christ brought forth free grace Which was discovered then When that his person did up rise Amongst the sons of men The person of Christ shewed the High-Priest In his great office choice And in the priviledges he had To utter forth his voice The person of Christ shewed the High-Priest In all his rich array And fully declares the deliverance And the redemprion day The person of Christ declares Tabernacle In all its ove-layings with Gold For he did shine brighter than it And more glory unsold The person of Christ did shew forth Solomons royal seat And sweetly discovered every Tipe And preacht them at high rate His person did not allegorize them As notional brains do As it they were not real truths But inward fancies new But the person of Christ breaks notions And doth not truths so take And speaks not like the Notionist But after true Records rate For the person of Christ the Father intrust With the Records throughout And he is faithfull to his God And speaks plainly of them out The person of Christ is intrusted with The Record of Diety And he doth strike down all this way Of mens false allegory The person of Christ sheweth forth all Is in him whom is chief The Comprehender of the whole Where only is relief And none but God-man comprehends The types and figures all For they did but him represent Whom is the all in all
Which was slaine for thee and me This body it was high and great And had a glorious rise And this represents those that also Shall from him obtain life According to the will of God And the most glorious Son And the spirit for all the three Are seen in Salvation Many they say Christ is the Son As to justification But as to sanctification they do Deny the righteous One. They therefore are to be reprov'd As slighters of the Son And as underminers of what For Jehova did come And spirit reproves Rabbies also The gross and the refin'd For they are also of those that Do si ly ones beguile Though Rabbies say we have left sure word Yet they shall know ere long That spirit doth preach the Gospel Forth with the soundest tongue Though Rabbies fall off from the Lamb That is most pure and clean Yet they shall see 't is the spirit of power Which on our souls do erne Alas poor Rabbies you are not Like unto those of old For they were not so lifted up Above Christ pretious folde O people are deluded and They have been many a year Ere since Antichrist come on the stage They have been beguiled every where Though old Dr. Apostles preacht And Christ himself did learne Yet O they are besotted with Antichrist stinking leven Though Christ speaketh of latter days Wherein he would his spirit pour In such choice great variety They 'l not believe it in its hour And Christ saith that before it shall come Lyin words and many a cheat Against the spirit and the Son And his most glorious seat And they do say how shall we know Between true and the false But God he sends his spirit forth For to shew what is dross And true spirit doth take in Scripture By faith no allegories And it doth shew forth Jesus Christ In 's birth death and his rise And the spirit it sheweth forth Christ In his offices and we may see The three in one and one in three In divine diety The spirit shewed the true God In true man here to dwell And thus shewed the choice rare one Through forth the joyfull knel. The spirit shewed the figures And all the choice rare tipes And the sweet emblems which before Did come for Jesus Christ And it shewed that Christ is enjoyed By the indwelling spirit By its witness and Testimony Unto the Godheads merit True spirit doth shew that Christ is enjoyed By a sweet lively faith The which comes from the Son of God And is no tattle and prate True spirit shews when Christ is enjoyed By faith we then up rise To the pleasure of God in Christ And appear holy in his eyes True spirit shews when Christ's enjoyed The soul is justified and sanctified too And that it goes to him alone For Conversation new True spirit leads forth unto Christ And then to be baptized Not as notionist say 't is all in spirit And plain Scripture despise But true spirits honours the Son And his out goings too It honours the head and all that he Would have his members do True spirit don't bring head without members Nor head and members without a way Wherein they sweetly together may talk Of the rich Ascention day But true spirit takes head and members And shews Christ lovely way And gives direction how they should Act towards him in this day Spirit sheweth forth Christ and his way How they should act and speak And discovers that worship which Their Souls should undertake Companions forsake not the assembly Of Saints it is most dear But seek it in the way of Christ Which most lovely doth appear Companions don't deny fellowship Nor the ordinances sweet If that you do spirit will reprove And tell you you embrace a cheat But Companions witness to ordinances And to true fellowship For Jesus Christ is held forth there Before him a garden compleat Companions you may take this comfort From Christ Doctrine this day That you have a good conscience though Other make of you a prey Companions this doctrine exhorts you To walk chearfully along That you may honour the spirit And grow for Christ more strong Companions be exhorted now Alwaies to watch and pray That so you may hold forth spirit Most lively in your way Companions be exhorted to Cleave unto Spirits Psalme Which is so full of doctrine That will our poor hearts warme Companions be exhorted to esteem This doctrine in a Psalms Because t is of our Davids love And sheweth forth Solomons arme Companions be exhorted to Trust in your power high For assistance when so many do Against the truth so fly Dear companions we exhorted are To depart from consusions all And every principle and practise That doth new covenant inthrall Companions we are exhorted to Praise the new covenant high Because our dear Saviour did once So willingly for us die That so we may not account low Nor bring objections against that But keep close to refurrection Which will lay all enemies flat Companions we thus exhorted are That none may take away our Crown The which we do enjoy in this Upon true Paradise ground O Companions we are exhorted That none may rob us heer Of the rare white stone and new name Which so pretious doth appear Companions the time of love is sweet In paradice pure ground O it doth smell most delicate Let us it compassround Let us compass the Tabernacle Where the golden Pot of Manna stands Which will fill and nourish our souls In journying to the pleasant land O we shall see our Aarons rod And delight in its buddings there In its coming forth against the foe It will all enemies tear Companions the white stone looks bright It is a lovely one It is elect choice and pretious Le ts go unto this stone O frends let us follow the starr That leads up to the Throne Which is that lovely spirit for which We have sighed and groan'd A beloved star dear Companions A glorious star indeed Which the Father hath bestowed on us With which he doth us feed O let us dearly prise that star That leads unto the King Let us follow it allwaies For it will thither bring The star conducted the wise men But not Herod though he Said where is the Babe I le worship him I le also go and se But the Lord God he doth discover Such in there practice still For though he said I le worship him It was that he might him kill Companions let us keep our eye Still fixed on the son And let us prise him very high How ever he doth come Converse with the spirit in Scripture That right models you may know Be ashamed of what you have done amiss And he will the pattern show We shall have direction and guide Both what to do and say In all our practices throughout In this the latter day We shall be ready to receive Of our Lord when that we Are made ashamed of our wayes We shall his glory see When
we are troubled at our wayes We shall an assembly be And not depart at all from that Which is felicitie At the foot of Christ it is good to be In this confused day Wherein so many reare up things That are after their own way And then we shall know where he feeds And what doth please the Son And where he doth lead forth his flock When unto him we come O tell us thou whom our souls loves How and

understand him presently And beleeved his day Rabbonâ— Lord and Master dear My heart is toucht with thee For thou art my beloved Choice And my mistake I see The mighty Lord he doth make choice Of poor weak ones in all Both to declare his birth and he Them to his grave doth call To see his resurrection That they might shew it out For to declare his mighty worke He takes the feeble mouth O

learn To know Baptisme sweet Being plunged in the water Even from head to feet Go preach go and disciple them O let them Baptisme know O let the poor heathen behold My love in Gospel glow Confirm and establish it By authority divine That it may serve for pattern Unto the latter time And as the law of Moses was Confirm'd by miracle and sign I must in answer unto that Confirm in Gospel time I will confirm the Gospel And the doctrine of grace And the doctrine of Baptisme By miracle in their race By the Apostles
