THE Lord afflicts not willingly,
Nor grieves mankind with misery:
To crush with foot or cruel hand
All the poor prisoners of the Land.

Of man's just right to turn the stream,
Before the face of God Supream;
And to subvert a mans just cause
The Lord approves not by his Laws.

Who's he that saith a thing shall be,
And it is come to pass saith he,
When possibly God may permit,
But never He commanded it.

Psal. 62. ult.

Out of the mouth of God most high Comes evil and good with equity, For both He censures what is nought, And gives reward to works well wrought.

Let Israel's God be prais'd therefore
From first to last for evermore:
And people all with one accord
Say here Amen, praise ye the Lord.
