Argument.
The Worldlings joy is but a Dream,The pure in heart have joys Supream.
Psal. 73.
[verse 19] HOW soon are wicked people broughtto desolations path;They are consumed utterlywith terrours of thy wrath: [verse 20] And as a Dream when one awakes,so thou, O Lord most high,When thou awak'st, thou shalt despise,their Image utterly.
[verse 21] Thus for a while my heart was griev'd,my reins were prick'd with pain, [verse 22] So ignorant a fool was I,a beast before thee plain: [verse 23] Yet am I evermore with thee,thy right hand holds me fast, [verse 24] Thou with thy Counsels guidest meto glory at the last.
