<HEAD>CERTAIN MEDITATIONS UPON JUSTIFICATION By Chri&s;t alone.</HEAD>
<LG>
<L N="1">_THe News is good, Chri&s;t &s;hed his Blood,</L>
<L>Our peace is made in Heaven;</L>
<L N="2">And now He's gone, up to His Throne,</L>
<L>All Power to him is given.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="3">Shall Sin or Hell, God's People quell,</L>
<L>Or ever keep them under;</L>
<L N="4">Lo, Chri&s;t hath dy'd, Sin Crucified,</L>
<L>And Hell-Bars rent a&s;&s;under.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="5">Our Glorie's great, we are Compleat,</L>
<L>In Gods Free-Love we &s;tand;</L>
<L N="6">We are on High, Exalted by</L>
<L>Chri&s;ts own Victorious Hand.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="7">We once were Lo&s;t, to Hell did Po&s;t,</L>
<L>But God in Mercie Found us;</L>
<L N="8">And now he hath, taught us Lifes Path,</L>
<L>And with his Glory Crownd us.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="9">The Blood of Chri&s;t, our Great High-Prie&s;t,</L>
<L>Which once for us was Shed;</L>
<L N="10">Hath Purg'd the Blot, and Cleans'd the Spot,</L>
<L>Wherewith we were be&s;pread.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="11">A Glorious Change, a Wonder Strange,</L>
<L>That Sin &s;hould not Defile;</L>
<L N="12">And tho&s;e appear, as Chri&s;t, mo&s;t Dear,</L>
<L>Who once did &s;eem &s;o Vile.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="13">All things Behind, are out of Mind,</L>
<L>The Saints are made Divine;</L>
<L N="14">Fixt in the Love, of God above,</L>
<L>In Glory they do &s;hine.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="15">None are &s;o Dear, nor yet &s;o Near,</L>
<L>With God they are made One;</L>
<L N="16">Who now doth &s;ee them &s;uch to be,</L>
<L>As is his onely Son.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="17">Chri&s;t is our Guide, we cannot Slide,</L>
<L>Or ever Fall away;</L>
<L N="18">Our State is &s;ure, and mu&s;t indure,</L>
<L>Though all things el&s;e decay.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="19">Then let's be Bold, our Heads uphold,</L>
<L>The Time is drawing nigh;</L>
<L N="20">Where we &s;hall Reign, and eak Remain,</L>
<L>With Chri&s;t Eternally.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="21">Let all Ba&s;e Fears, and Needle&s;s Cares,</L>
<L>Out of our Mind remove;</L>
<L N="22">With &s;peed let's flye, to God on High,</L>
<L>And dwell with him above.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="23">Where we &s;hall be from all Fears Free,</L>
<L>Which here do us Annoy;</L>
<L N="24">And then Po&s;&s;e&s;t of Perfect Re&s;t,</L>
<L>In our Dear Saviours <HI>Joy.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="25">Which to Obtain, let us Remain,</L>
<L>Doing our Fathers Will;</L>
<L N="26">Waiting the day, when He &s;hall &s;ay,</L>
<L><HI>Come, Children, Take your Fill.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="27">All is your own, to Fea&s;t upon,</L>
<L>Your Father hath to give;</L>
<L N="28">Your Gla&s;s is Run, your Work is Done,</L>
<L>In Plea&s;ure you &s;hall Live.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="29">No more Dejected, Faith's <NOTE N="*" PLACE="marg">That is in Hea|ven.</NOTE> Neglected,</L>
<L>To which now bid Fare-well;</L>
<L N="30">And Welcome Love, that Grace above,</L>
<L>Which onely doth Excel.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L N="31">Now Faith doth Cea&s;e, Love &s;hall Increa&s;e,</L>
<L>In Fulne&s;s of Degree;</L>
<L N="32">By which we &s;hall, appear to all,</L>
<L>Perfect, like Chri&s;t to be.</L>
