Sonnet. XXI.
[Sole hope and blessing of olde Israels line]
Sole
hope and blessing of olde Israels line
(Which gaue by promise to his blessed seede
A land that should all blessings plentie breede,
Riuers of pleasant Honnie, Milke, and wine,
Whose ofspring numberlesse thou calledst thine,
Whome with thine Angels Manna thou didst feede
Being before from Pharoes bondage freede,
When Moyses first thy statutes did resigne)
Behold deare God, one in these daies of grace:
Since by thy precious bloud thou freede mankinde,
By promise which a portion and a place
Amongst thy children hopeth for to finde
In Gospels comfort, through thy bloudes deare prise,
Oh let him purchase such a Paradise!
