Great loue your woRship show'd to me I do
Here send a mEan acknowledGement to you,
This poor Miner Vawch my brain broughT forth,
Wishing that It were equAl to your worth
Oh! how raRe is it for a maN to find
Renown, and Worldly wealth wth gooDness joyn'd.
So as they are, In you! who would Be crown'd
He must be hoLy, in good works Abound;
Iustice deLights to have you cleaR her Laws,
Poor men reIoyce to have you beaR their cause
For you hAve help'd (vengeance tO God belongs)
Unto their right, theM that sustaiNed wrongs,
Live long bEloved, much happinEss attended
Long life, ChriSt Jesus crown you in The end.
Sir, I am Your very humble Servant, N. B.
