“ Here is that Man in whom is visibly beseen such Glory, Majesty, Loveliness Sweetness, Compassion, Mercy, Justice Wisdom, and all treasures of overflowing Fulness of Excellency, in such a Incomprehensible, Transcendent an Eminent, and Superabundant manner, as all the beholders are overwhelmed in a sea of delightsome ravishments for evermore,
THE GOSPEL DISCOVERY.
O Lord, my God, exert thy power,
⁠ Inspire my soul to sing,
The wonders of redeeming love,
⁠To heaven's Almighty King.

“ Who is blessed forever, and God over all.
36⁠The Father’s delight, to mount Calvry repairs,
With scourging and bleeding his bones on him stare.
There both Jew and Gentile conjunctly agree.
That Christ most: be crucified on mount Calvry,
37⁠Divine hidden mercy creation confounds,
The angels, from heaven, with wonder look'd down,
The clouds of wrath were ready to fall
And crush guilty sinners, Christ suffers for all.

“ When the glory of God did salvation proclaim.
23⁠The Father’s delight gives eyes to the blind,
Barthmews, the beggar, he leaves not behind.
Gave him eyes for to see and a heart for to sing;
He joyfully follows his God and his king.
24⁠Jerusalem Christ does repair.
On an ass he did rule, the word does declare.
The multitude siging, as Jesus goes on,
Hosonna, in the highesf, a heavenly song.
25⁠The time is now come, the hour does draw nigh,
That Christ; for poor sinners intends for to die
The angels do wonder, the church now may sing,
Ye mourners in sion sing songs to your King.
