The fourth Part.
1
Now when a thing does doubtful lye,
And Men cannot agree;
VVhen what one says, others deny,
VVe presently should flee
2
To thee the true and faithful One;
If to that very thing
No witness thou hast plainly born,
Away we must it fling.
3
Art thou the only VVitness, Lord,
To ev'ry Truth divine,
And not one word for such a thing
Out of that mouth of thine?
4
And yet can that a truth be thought,
They other VVitness bring;
They call for Moses, he is brought
To witness to this thing.
5
And thus they, Lord, do thee degrade,
Or do invaluate
The Highest VVitness e're was heard,
Or Matters did relate.
6
Moses was not for evermore
VVithin the House to be;
Page 114He spoke on Earth, but thou from Heaven,
No Law-giver but thee,
7
Lord, can we own, since all power is
To thee alone given;
And all thy Laws they are firm as
The Ordinance of Heaven.
