Hymn XXXV. For a Merchant, or Chapman.
[_]
By the use of this Hymn, Merchants may be kept heedfull of the snares and temptations which they become lyable unto by their negotiations; and, what peace, and profit, will ensue if they be just and mercifull in their Dealings.
Sing this as the 4, 5, or 6. Psalmes.
[1]
Vnlesse, oh Lord, thy grace thou lend,To be mine hourely guide,
In ev'ry Word I do offend;
In ev'ry step, I slide.
For, earth, us lawfull Course affords,
That makes men more to blame,
(In fraudfull deeds, and guilefull words)
Then that, whereof I am.
2
When strong desires of being rich,With means thereto, are joyn'd;
Good-conscience is endanger'd much,
And, often, cast behind.
Yea, to great wealth men seldom rise
Through what, they sell and buy,
422
They, sometime, cheat and lie.
3
The sins, oh Lord, forgive thou me,Which to my trading cleave.
Vpright, let all my dealings be;
That, I may none deceive.
All my Affaires, instruct me so
(By prudence) to contrive;
That others may, by what I do,
See, honest waies, to thrive.
4
Permit, not, Greedinesse of gain,My Conscience to ensnare,
Or, lode me, with employments vain,
Or, fill my heart with care.
Nor make my Goods, a prey to those
Who, by dishonest waies,
(Or, by pretending all to lose)
Themselves, to riches raise.
5
To those, who poor are that way made,Which they could not prevent,
Let me no cruell burthens add,
In craving what I lent:
But, let me do for men distrest,
(As my estate may bear)
What, at their hands, I might request,
If in their plight I were.
6
So, though to povertie I fall,And, needy seem to be;
A quiet minde, possesse I shall,
With full content, in thee.
423
It will not wast away,
Like brushie Fewell in the fire,
But, with mine Off-spring, stay.
