§. 2.

O thou tru Messiah, whose Name was called JESUS, being so named of the Angel be∣fore thou wast conceived in the Womb:

I giv thee all possibl Thanks and Prais,

For making good the gracious Purport of this thy Name, in saving thy peepl from their Sins. O Blessed Jesus, since, by the Imposition of this adorabl Name, the Holy Ghost hath made a publick Declaration that Thou art com into the World to save Sinners, save me (I beseech thee) who am the chief of Sinners; let me tast and see how gracious the Lord is in the Healing Influence of this Name: A Name that doth charm the dullest Ears and re∣vive the drooping Hearts of mi∣serabl

Sinners, infinitly beyond the sweetest Accents of Musick, and therefore is exalted abov evry Name, even by God him∣self; which hath made it highly reasonabl (whatever any cavel∣ling Hypocrits, either by their irreligious Doctrin or Deport∣ment, argu to the contrary) that at the Name of Jesus evry knee should bow, in 〈◊〉〈◊〉, in Earth, and under the Earth; and that evry Tong should confess that Je∣sus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father. In Obedience to which Divine Decree, I pro∣strat my Self before Thee O Lord, I worship Thee O Christ, and humbly beg Thee on my Knees to be my Jesus, my Sa∣vior.
