CHRISTMAS IN & OVT:
OR, OUR LORD & SAVIOUR Christs Birth-Day.
To the Reader.
Good Joshua once ordain'd a Holy-Day,Because the Sun stood still in Gibeon,
And at his Prayers that the Moon did stay
His course, above the Vaile of Aialon:
And shal not Christians stil give thanks & praise
On th'yearly day our blest redeemer came?
Shall Powder Treasons and thanksgiving dayes
Be still observed in Records of Fame?
Then let not Christs Birth-Day forgotten bee,
Remember him that doth remember thee.
Thine JOHN TAYLOR.
