GOD gives and takes, and blessed be his Name;
Though I am not, yet he, is still the same;
And on him fixt, my trust unshaken stands,
Ev'n whilst I am in my Oppressors hands;
Expecting my Deliverance from him,
And nothing but Revenge and Scorns from them.
If unto me, he shall vouchsafe to grant
But so much Grace, as many of them want,
I shall possess, bought at anothers cost,
An Heritage, that never will be lost;
And ere this Generation is quite gone,
That, which hath long been hop'd for, will be done.
