God is a Tower by protecting all
His Saints from Ills, in Ills which them befall;
Against, amidst ill men in every place,
Most safely, strongly out of his meere grace;
By comforting them in adversity
Alwayes, most sweetly, most abundantly:
By freeing them from evills speedily,
In the best time, and that most potently:
No doubt he is the happiest man alive,
Who this worlds Exile, and Christs deare Captive,
Is during life adjudg'd perpetually
In this most safe, sweet, best great'st Tower to lye.
He is truely kept safely, who both by
And in God is preserv'd continually:
He cannot straitned be, who walkes freely
(Whiles prisoner) in Gods vast Infinity.
Of this opinion WILLIAM PRYNNE was the
Third day of March, six hundred thirty three.
