The Pedigree of the Seed of Jacob.

BEhold thy line, thy linage, thy descent, Thy pedigree, thy coat of Arms, thy tent, Thy habitation, thy abiding place, Thy kindred all sprung from a royal race, Before the Earth or Heavens yet were made, Before the deeps, or Adam used a spade; Before that Eve brought either son or daughter, Before she knew what mourning was or laughter, Before the Hills or Mountains yet were known, Before a Sun in Firmament was shown, Before the Moon or Stars at all appeared, Thou wert by him that made them all indeared: Yea, thou wer't precious in his glorious eye, And much esteem'd and made to stand him nigh;

He that will read this noble Heraldry, Must live in light, or else he cannot spy The depth hereof, nor understand the phrase, It is not known in any other place.
