The World is in a desperate plight, for which Christ refused to pray.
Bvt if the World be dead, God owes it not;
for of the liuing, He is God alone:
And, if not Gods, it is the Diuels Lot;
which bounded is with the chiefe Corner-STONE.
for of the liuing, He is God alone:
And, if not Gods, it is the Diuels Lot;
which bounded is with the chiefe Corner-STONE.
From that Stone vpwards, all to God belongs;
and from it, downewards, all the Diuels is:
For, God, being iust, the Diuell neuer wrongs;
but; lets him haue his due; as He hath His.
and from it, downewards, all the Diuels is:
For, God, being iust, the Diuell neuer wrongs;
but; lets him haue his due; as He hath His.
Then, to be Gods, is still to rest thereon:
but who can rest there, that God doth not stay?
Then, sith the World refus'd this Corner Stone,
God, for the World, refused but to pray:
O wofull World, how canst thou merry be,
That so forsook'st him, that so leaueth thee?
but who can rest there, that God doth not stay?
Then, sith the World refus'd this Corner Stone,
God, for the World, refused but to pray:
O wofull World, how canst thou merry be,
That so forsook'st him, that so leaueth thee?
