TO THE TRVE THEANTHROPOS, Iesus Christ, THE Saviovr OF THE WORLD: His Servant implores his favourable assistance.
Thou Alpha and Omega, before whom,Things past & present, & things yet to come,
Are all alike; O prosper my designes,
And let thy spirit inrich my feeble lines;
Revive my passion; let mine eye behold
Those sorrowes present, which were wept of old:
438
To move; and Me, an understanding heart.
O, let the Accent of each word, make knowne,
I mixe the Teares of Sion, with mine owne:
Preserve all such, as beare true hearts to Sion.
We are thy Lambes, O, be thou still our Lion.
