An Hymn.
O Lord,* 1.1 who didst not despise nor forsake Man trans∣gressing thy commandment and falling:
But as a tender-bowell'd Father didst visit him sundry ways;
Giving him that great and preci∣ous Promise concerning the Blessed quickning Seed.
Opening unto him a door of Faith and Repentance unto life:
And in the fulness of time sending the same Christ to take the Seed of Abraham:
And by the oblation of his life to fulfill the obedience of the Law,
And by the sacrifice of his Death to take away the curse thereof,
By his death to redeem the World,
