Psa. 133.
[_]
A song of Degrees. Another Step, is that, which the preposterous Zeal of Schismaticks hath much defaced, (to wit) Charitie, & brotherly Vnitie; which is here, excellenly Illustrated, to moove vs to ascend it. Wee should sing it, to encrease Vnitie & Love.

See Breth'ren, see, how sweet a blisseIt is our lives in love to lead.
It like that pretious Oyntment is,
Which once anointed Aron's head;
And, on his beard, from thence did flowe,
Ev'n to his garment skirts belowe.

It like refreshing dewe doth prove,Which downe on Hermon's topp distills;
Ev'n like the dewe, which from above
Descendeth downe on Syon hills.
For, there, God promisd, heretofore,
To blesse with life, for ever more.
