The AUTHOR's REQUEST.
The AVTHOR's REQUEST.
I. Some things, great God, my Soul doth long to have, Before these transient days of mine be o'er; Which things in deep humility I crave, Before I go from hence, and be no more. Till my Requests I can of thee obtain, I shall be filled with sorrow, grief, and pain.

II. Alas my Griefs are now increased double! O that thou wouldest be pleased to hear O Lord! Then should my Soul be free from inward trouble If what I humbly ask thou wouldest afford Until thy grace allows me my Request, I cannot cease, nor give thee any rest.
