TRANSLATION OF AN EPIGRAM IN LATIN,

From Musculus, one of the German Reformers.

Press'd with the threats of sorrows ne'er to cease,
Thy Church, O christ! demands the promis'd peace:
Hear thou her prayer, the impending storm dispel,
Avert her fears, and shut the gates of Hell!
So shall she own thy faithfulness to save
The flock thou lov'st, and whom thy Father gave.
