  Two dayes are therefore past, the third is thine;   For thee I have ordain'd it, and thus farr   Have sufferd, that the Glorie may be thine   Of ending this great Warr, since none but Thou   Can end it.  Into thee such Vertue and Grace   Immense I have transfus'd, that all may know   In Heav'n and Hell thy Power above compare,   And this perverse Commotion governd thus,   To manifest thee worthiest to be Heir   Of all things, to be Heir and to be King   By Sacred Unction, thy deserved right.  Go then thou Mightiest in thy Fathers might,   Ascend my Chariot, guide the rapid Wheeles   That shake Heav'ns basis, bring forth all my Warr,   My Bow and Thunder, my Almightie Arms   Gird on, and Sword upon thy puissant Thigh;   Pursue these sons of Darkness, drive them out   From all Heav'ns bounds into the utter Deep:   There let them learn, as likes them, to despise   God and MESSIAH his anointed King.  He said, and on his Son with Rayes direct   Shon full, he all his Father full exprest   Ineffably into his face receiv'd,   And thus the filial Godhead answering spake.  O Father, O Supream of heav'nly Thrones,   First, Highest, Holiest, Best, thou alwayes seekst   To glorifie thy Son, I alwayes thee,   As is most just; this I my Glorie account,   My exaltation, and my whole delight,   That thou in me well pleas'd, declarst thy will   Fulfill'd, which to fulfil is all my bliss. <<Back  Index  Next>>
