4 Of, thou didst take, that so thereby We might assurance have, That every way thou fitted art Our precious souls to save.
5 A Branch partakes too of the Sap Which in the Root does lye; ⟨p. 84⟩So in the Virgins Womb was fed Thy blest Humanity.
6 I'th Branch or Branches of the Tree Its glory does shine forth; So 'tis in thee that David's Race Its greatest glory hath.
The Second Part. 1 Let Heretics who do deny Christ of the Virgin took His spotless, pure humanity, Ashamed ever look. 2 And let us all stand in amaze, Whilst we behold and see How God our humane nature has Made one with th' Deity. 3 Now let us sing unto the Man Called the Branch; for he Shall grow and flourish in such sort That never did a Tree. 4 For he upon the Throne does sit, And all the glory bear; And also shall God's Temple build, And make its beauty rare.
