VAV.

LET then thy mercies deer, salvătion, favours high,
Foretold by gracious woord, at length great Lord draw nigh.
That those who mee reproach depending thus on thee;
Confounded quite, their scorns my glori high may see.
Mene while let woord so true towărd him not wholy sleep,
Who trusts in thy decree, still still thy law wil keep.

AND keeping thus thy law, abroad I'le boldly walk:
And of thy woord fore kings undanted freely talk.
O King of kings, thou thow my love and sole delight:
Thy hests my ioy; on them I still defix my sight;
Towărd them my hands I'le raize, to act what they require;
Who sole possess my thoughts, command my chief desire.
