MEDITATION. L.

Lord! How much art thou above thy Creatures reach! Who, besides thy self, can conceive thy excellency! Who can shew forth all thy praise! Thou art exalted above the blessing and the thoughts of Angels, above the songs of Seraphims. Everlasting thanks∣givings are thy due; Oh let me live with thee to Eternity, that I may ever be paying this debt of praises! Bless the Lord ye innu∣merable company of Angels, which excell in strength who see the Glory of your Maker and Lord! Praise him O ye Thrones, Domi∣nions, Principallities and Powers. Exalt that mighty and gracious God, who elected and confirmed you, when so many other An∣gels sinn'd, and are eternally left, and mise∣rable, in their Apostacy! O all ye Trium∣phant Saints that are with the Lamb upon the

heavenly Mount Sion. Strike up with your Harps, and if it be possible let your strains be still higher and higher! Ascribe blessing and honour and glory, and power unto Him that sits upon the Throne, and to the Lamb for ever! O thou Militant Church! Begin this heavenly work of praising here on Earth. Thy Redemption and deliverance is begun, and will most certainly be compleated. The Captain of thy Salvation will stand by thee in thy spiritual warfare, and having made thee more then victorious over all thy E∣nemies will bestow upon thee the promised Crown of life and glory!
