SEAVENTH SONNET Ex Psal. 143.
Listen O Lord vnto my Prostrate Prayer,Nor into Ivdgment with thy Seruant enter:
For who is Ivst? The foule infernall Tempter
Pursues my Sovle with Terrors of Despayre.
My hart's all inly Vext. Yet I apply'd mee
To waigh thy Works, thy Wonders I obserued,
But to thy Mercy the Chiefe place reserued?
Then Shew my Sin, and in thy Seruice guide mee.
Succour mee Lord, Saue mee with expedition,
My Spirit fainteth: therefore mine affection,
My Minde, my Sovle, I lift (with all Submission)
To thee my Lord, my God, and my protection:
Draw mee from Danger vnder thy Tuition,
For I thy Seruant am by thine Election.
