St. Paul's Petition.
From Enemies, where're they be,My God, do thou deliver me:
From them that do against me rise;
From private Foes inventing lyes;
From bloody men, who loving strife,
Endeavour to ensnare my life.
The Mighty are against me bent,
Because I sinn'd, and do repent.
Arise, and visit with thy Rod
Those Enemies of thine, O God;
Their follies shew, that they may be
At last, true followers of thee.
