The A-B. C. On the slow building of St. Pauls Church.

2 Sam. 7:2. The King said unto Nathan the Prophet, see now, I dwell in an House of Cedar, but the Ark of God dwelleth within Courtains.

I Blush for shame, and sigh as I pass by;
To see God's house, thus like a Dung-hill ly.
When City, and the Suburbs both are done,
And built in querpo-cut, with Brick, and Stone.
This Demonstration is enough, to prove
Us froze in Zeal, and but luck-warm in Love.
Our Saviour went, us Mansiones to prepair,
And shall not we this one Hou's ruins rear,
I'll say no more, but sigh, and pray, that we,
May our King CHARLES the Zerobabel see.
