2 As Fire burns and doth consume, So th' Seraphims signify A burning to show what zeal's in them Who do attend on God most high:
2 As Fire burns and doth consume, So th' Seraphims signifie A burning to shew what zeal's in them Who do attend on God most high:
3 And also how with flaming zeal, When they from God Commission have, They do break forth at his dread Word To kill his Foes, his Saints to save.
4 Let wicked ones amazed stand, Who can escape a flaming Fire; ⟨p. 271⟩Let Saints also do God's Command With zeal, like to the heavenly Quire:
5 And let them learn likewise from hence What comfort this to them may bring; These Angels come for your defence Swift, like to Flames, or Eagles Wings.
