ROCKES IMPROVED, COMPRISING CERTAINE POETICALL MEDITATIONS, Extracted from the contem∣plation of the Nature and Quality of ROCKES; a barren and harsh Soyle, yet a Fruitfull, and Delightfull sub∣ject of Meditation.

By VVILLIAM PRYNNE, late Exile, and close Pri∣soner in Mount-Orgueil Castle in the Isle of Iersy.

Psal. 18. 2. 31. 46. 2 Sam. 22. 2. 3. 32.

The Lord is my Rocke and my Fortresse, and my deliverer, my God, my strength in whom I will trust, my buckler, and the horne of my Salvation, and my high Towre; my Saviour, thou savest mee from violence. Who is a Rocke save our God? The Lord liveth, and blessed be my Rocke, and let the God of my Salvation be exalted.

Psal. 40. 1, 2, 3.

I waited patiently for the Lord, and hee inclined unto mee, and heard my cry: He brought mee also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a Rocke, and established my goings, &c.

London, Printed by T. Cotes for Michael Sparke, dwelling at the blue Bible in Greene Arbor. 1641.
