<L>_GOD is of him&s;elf an holy Being;</L>
<L>Almighty, and all things fore-&s;eeing.</L>
<L>Salvation in Election is fir&s;t,</L>
<L>And that love la&s;ts till we turn to du&s;t.</L>
<L>There is none elected but in JESUS,</L>
<L>Who tormented was to ea&s;e us.</L>
<L>Chri&s;t in the humanne nature paid</L>
<L>To God, our ran&s;ome for our aid.</L>
<L>None have part in Chri&s;t, and electing love,</L>
<L>But in time are called from Heaven above:</L>
<L>From &s;in to grace, from dark to light,</L>
<L>Death, Hell, and condemnation quite;</L>
<L>Which <HI>Adam</HI> by his woful fall</L>
<L>Did bring upon us one and all,</L>
<L>Through Satan's malice and delu&s;ion,</L>
<L>The fruits of &s;in by his intru&s;ion.</L>
<L>Though man de&s;erve mo&s;t ju&s;t to die,</L>
<L>And that for &s;in eternally,</L>
<L>But that the glorious Go&s;pel &s;ay,</L>
<L>To God for mercy we may pray,</L>
<L>And he &s;peaks peace to the re&s;tle&s;&s;e mind,</L>
<L>Giving full a&s;&s;urance, he is &s;o kind,</L>
<PB N="2" REF="3">
<L>By his Spirit, which con&s;cience pacifie,</L>
<L>Witne&s;&s;ing the truth, and it is no lie.</L>
<L>God loves truth in the inward part,</L>
<L>He will not de&s;pi&s;e the broken heart.</L>
<L>God calls us to repentance true,</L>
<L>Reformation, and obedience new,</L>
<L>Godly &s;orrow change the mind,</L>
<L>At conver&s;ion grace we find:</L>
<L>Delight in God's Law in the inner-man,</L>
<L>Studying to plea&s; the Lord all we can.</L>
<L>A &s;aving call works faith in all,</L>
<L>Which ju&s;tifies both great and &s;mall,</L>
<L>With perfect righteou&s;ne&s;&s;e in God's account,</L>
<L>To pardon of &s;in it doth amount:</L>
<L>Faith is not true unle&s;&s;e it run a race</L>
<L>Full of holine&s;&s;e, &s;anctity, works of grace,</L>
<L>With per&s;everance to the end,</L>
<L>A good life &s;pent will be our friend.</L>
<L>Though works &s;ave none by &s;trength of merit,</L>
<L>Yet works in Faith &s;hall &s;ure inherit,</L>
<L>Glory promi&s;ed to the ju&s;t,</L>
<L>Whereto Believers put their tru&s;t,</L>
<L>And joy in hope of glorious grace,</L>

<L>After ble&s;&s;ed dying in the Lord</L>
<L>The dead in Chri&s;t are rai&s;ed abroad,</L>
<L>And come to judgment, where &s;hall be</L>
<L>My ble&s;&s;ed Saviour unto me.</L>
<L>Let godly people know their &s;tate,</L>

<L>WIth God the Lord would I could walk,</L>
