SON. LXIX.

WHy should he faint or thinke his burden great, That hath a partner to support the same? Why coward-like should he his honour shame, That hath a champion readie at intreat, Who can and doth death and confusion threat, To all impediments which stop our way? On whom repose our trust we boldly may, He being iudge, and plast in mercies seat? He sees our thoughts, and knows what we would say, He doth our mouthes to fit petitions frame, He hides our errors if our faith be lame, And he himselfe doth also for vs pray, We need but stay, And trust to his good will, And we are sure he will our want fulfill.
