A MOTTO VPON THE CREEDE.

A MOTTO VPON THE CREEDE.
King Dauids foole in paths of Athists trod,Denying him whom—I beleeue in God,
Nay more ye Athists know (although it spight ye)
I'le euer trust in—The Father Almightie:
Nor feare I pestilence, nor sword, nor dearth,
Confessing him—Maker of Heau'n and earth.
It's thou O Lord, the hearts of men that tr'yst,
Thou know'st my faith in thee—And Iesus Christ,
Mediat my sinnes (or else I am vndone)
Sweet Christ, with God, thou art—His onely Sonne,
All men O God, thy mercie must recorde,
Who mad'st vs, slaues to sinne, free by—Our Lord;
Which with a bitter welcome was receau'd
Into this World, O Christ—Who was conceiu'd
Not by the Carnall act of man, but most
Miraculously—By the Holy Ghost:
Nor stayd God here, nor did his mercie vary,
Christ was for vs—Borne of the Virgin Marie:
When he consummated each worke and wonder,
Most innocent, for vs—He suffered vnder
Th'accursed Iewes, through Iudas that false mate,
And the constrained doome of—Pontius Pilate:
And more for vs was buffited, enui'd,
Reuil'd, disdain'd, and last—Was crucify'd:
Ioseph of Arimathea then (inured
To works of mercy) beg'd his body—Dead, and buried:
The Lord of life; would all our sinnes had ended,
And beene engrau'd with him, when—He descended
(As we beleeue, and this our Creed doth tell)
Into the graue, or pit, or—Into hell:
Captiuitie led captiue, Death in chaine
And by his resurrection from the bed
Of soules deceas'd, rays'd mankind—From the dead:
And rotten works of sinne, talk't with th'Eleu'n
Giue them a chardge—Ascended into heau'n:
But not as man, who out of sight forgetteth
Their suits, and wants are absent, still—Hee setteth
Close by our God his heau'nly father, and
For sinners interceads—On the right hand
Of maiesty incessintly, and rather
Then Saints and Angells, begs—Of God the father
Forgiu'nesse of all sinnes, t'is he can right ye
O sinnefull sonnes of men, eu'n he th'—Almightie:
Who then would greiue him? who so sottish be
To say hee's not in heau'n—From thence shall he
The second time (till when he will not budge)
Descend from heau'n his Throne, and—Come to iudge
With Ite or Venite such as led
Liu's good or ill—Both the quicke and the dead.
And though he's now in heau'n, we must not grieue in,
His corp'rall absence; now doe—I beleeue in
The Com'forter his spirit gainst whom an host
Is weake, so pow'rfull is—The holy Ghost:
Satan shall neuer leaue mee in the lurch
Whilst I am branch of—The Catholicke Church:
Let Christians learne to liue in peace and vnion,
In zeale to imitate—The Communion
Of heau'ns rich Citizens, wher's noe complaints
Nor iarrs of Angells, Cherubs nor—Of Saints:
Ther's loue, and blisse, and peace with so much eu'nesse,
That they ne're one another aske—Forgiuenesse
Then let's not speake, but doe the deeds that wins
The loue of God, and the full pa[illeg.]d'ne—Of sinnes:
So when we dye, or greiue, ther's a refection,
Life after death, ioy by—The resurrection
Be ranck't amonge the number—Of the dead:
This is a comfort sweete, and neuer wasting,
To be assur'd of—The life euerlasting;
Pray'rs may doe much, therefore let Preist and lay men,
For this great blessing knit vp all with—Amen.
FINIS.
