2. PART. On the Birth, Kingdom, and Conquests of CHRIST.
Isa. 9.3, 4.
NOW, Lord, before thee we rejoyce,as men in Harvest-while,As Conquerors lift up their voicewhen they divide the spoil.For thou hast broke the burd'nous yoke,the Staff that bare the sway,The Rod of our Oppressors Power,as once in Midian's day.
descriptionPage 23
For every battel generallyof Warriours prime and goodIs with confused noise and cry,and Garments roll'd in bloud.But this of Christ's against his Foes,that spightfully conspire,Shall be with burning where it goes.and Fuel mixt with Fire.
The day doth come, as God assures,that like an Oven shall burn,And all the proud and wicked doersthat day shall overturn.But unto them that fear my Namethere shall arise and springThe Sun of Peace and Righteousnesswith healing in his wing.
To God the Father and the Son,and Holy Ghost therefore,Be glory done as first begun,and shall be evermore.
