| And still begetting (for he nere begunne) [f. 60v] |
| Hath deignd to chuse thee by adoption, |
| Coheire to his glorie, and Sabboths endless rest, |
| And as a robd man, wch by scearch* doth finde |
| His stolne stuffe sold, must loose or buy it againe, |
| The Sunne of glory came downe & was slaine, |
| Vs whom he had made, & Satan stolne, to vnbind, |
| Twas much that man was made like god before, |
| But that god should be made like man much more.| |

| Father, Part of his double interest |
| Vnto thy kingdom, thy sonne gives to me, |
| His Iointure in the knotty Trinitie, |
| He keepes and gives me his deathes conquest |
| This lambe, whose death, wth life the world hath blest, |
| Was from the worldes beginning slaine, and he |
| Hath made two wills, wch wth the legacie |
| Of his and thy kingdome, doth thy sonns invest, |
| Yett such are those lawes, yt men argue yett |
| Wheather a man those statutes can fulfill, |
| None doth; butt all-healing grace, and spiritt |
| Reviue againe what law and letter kill, |
| Thy lawes abridgment, and thy last command |
| Is all but love, oh lett that last will stand|
