Hymn VI. For a member of our Convocations, or Nationall Synods.
[_]
It is the greatest Bondage, next that of Sin, and the Devill, to be enslaved by Doctrine, or Discipline, repugnant to the VVord of God; and injurious to the Christian Libertie. Therefore, though I presume not to prepare a Hymn, worthy to be sung by so reverend an Assembly: yet, I think it no Arrogancie, to make tender of this Meditation to be, otherwhile, privately sung, or considered, by some Members thereof.
Sing this as the Lords Prayer.
[1]
Since, by Election, I am sent,To be admitted one of those
361
Which hath a pow'r to bind and lose;
That for this work, I fit may be,
Lord! let thy Spirit hallow me.
2
Here let me lay each Aime aside,Which to so vain a purposetends.
As to advance our Clergy-Pride,
Or serve our Avaritious ends:
And, me from those things, keep thou far,
By which corrupted Synods are.
3
As much as in my pow'r it lies,Let me out of thy Church, exile
Not only, those old-Heresies,
Which former Ages did beguile;
But, with a prudent zeal, pursue
Those Errors, likewise, which are new.
4
Let me preserve that sweet accord,Which in such Counsels ought to be.
Make thou the Canon of thy Word,
In every Cause, a Guide for me:
And, let it rule my words and waies,
What ever Humane-Reason saies.
5
Confirm in me, a holy Care,To keep thy outward Service pure,
From Rites, that superstitious are;
Or, which contempt thereto procure.
That whil'st Will-Worship I do shun,
I may not to prophanenesse run.
6
For no mans pleasure, let me stop,The Christian-Freedomes, GRACE bestowes,
362
Then pious Prudencie allowes;
But grant me wisdome, Lord, to know
When things-Indifferent are not so.
7
And me, and Them; who in this placeTo do thee service, now are chose,
Inspire, ô God, with ev'ry Grace,
Which to thy Saints thou do'st dispose;
That, all the Canons we decree,
May thy good Spirits dictates be.
