This man hath Death destroyed, and slain the Devil, And doth secure all his from damning evil; He is the Prince of Life, the Prince of Peace; He doth us from the bonds of Death release. His Work is properly his own; nor may, In what he doth, another say him nay.1

'Tis he who pays our Hospitalian scores, He's here to search, supple, and bind up Sores; He is our Plaster-maker, he applies Them to our Wounds, He wipes our wetted Eyes. ⟨p. 15⟩'Tis he that gives us cups of Consolation, 'Tis he renews the hopes of our Salvation. He'll take our parts, oft times to us unknown, And make as if our failings were his own; He'll plead with God, his Name and doings too, And save us will, from those would us undo.1
