CHETH.

MY portion, Lord, art thow: my thankful mynd, resolv'd Thy woords to keep, hir cares on thee hath all devolv'd. And hart with fervent suit thy gracious face hath sought: Let then those mercies shine which gracious woord hath taught. For strait my earthli ways, with vieu unpartial eyd, Delay cut off, I glad to heavĕnli coorse applyd.

THIS worldlings hate procures; whose troops make me their prey. Nor hate of world, nor wrongs, me from thy paths can fray. Thou witness, Night; whose midst with thanks me rize dooth hear Gods iudgements iust to bless: thou Day; which God who fear, His laws who love, my deer companions all doost see. Thow then, whose grace earth fils, thow, Lord, my leader bee.
