On Our Father.

VVho disobey, can I Lord, Father call?
Pronounce in heav'n, my thoughts nere there at all.
'Tis I my God have sinn'd 'gainst heav'n and thee,
Blinded by sin so high I cannot see.
How shall he Lord say, Hallowed be thy name
Prophanes thy Image, takes in vain the same?
Thy names a sacrifice, Lord, which will require,
To hallow it of flaming zeal a fire.
But where of Lust's a furnace in the heart,
Of good desires can it a Lamp impart?
Or what is Lord, thy Kingdome unto me,
While th' world, flesh, devil, here keep anarchy?
Yet Lord, 'tis every where, thy pow'rs in hell,
But with Saints onely dost in mercy dwell.
Can I desire thy Will may Lord be done?
Which 'gainst thy Will after my own will run.
How shall I beg for bread, or it obtain;
For dogs, my Lusts, thy childrens bread would gain?
As I forgive, would I have thee remit;
Thou without mercy should'st in Judgement sit.
Revenge boils in my heart, but there doth lie,
Alas, froze near my heart, cold Charity.
Would I into temptation not be led
Who run into it? am to vertue dead,
Unto my self temptation, a strange devil,
Incarnate made, a forge to frame out evil.
Tongue of the aged Serpent is the sting;
My lips are gates which unto death do bring:
But Lord, the Kingdome, Power, and Glory's thine;
Let th' Kingdome, Power, and Glory in me shine.

Thou Lord a Kingdom makest where thou art;
A glympse of thine a Paradise doth impart:
Lord by thy presence Heav'n make in my heart:
So shall I Father cry which in Heav'n art.
A Heav'n-inspiring zeal with th' heart inflame,
A sacrifice mak't, to hallow Lord thy name.
Thy Kingdom come of grace; will shall be done,
In Earth as Heav'n; while Earth a Heav'n hath won.
Then shall I daily be with Manna fed:
Have thee within Lord who art Heav'ns sole bread.
Then shall I be forgiv'n Lord, and forgive;
Can't he want charity who with love doth live?
Into temptation then I can't be led;
Thou art th' door, truth, light, way, that I must tread:
How can from ill I not delivered be?
Who have a Rock, a Tower, a shield in thee;
Thine is the Kingdom, power, and glory's thine;
Oh shall I not have all when thou art mine?
