Just so the Gospel doth excel
The Law God gave to Israel.
All those who do the Gospel slight,
And rather have a Legal guide;
The Sun's not risen in their sight,
And therefore 'tis that they deride
Those who commend the Gospel-Sun
Above the Light in every one.
Degrees of Light I do perceive
Some of them weak and others strong;
That which is saving none receive
But those who unto Christ belong;
Yet doth each Light serve for the end,
For which to man God did it send.
Divine Breathings. A Hymn.
Let not the Sun Eclipsed be, Nor any dark Cloud interpose Between thy self (dear Christ) and me, Who art that blessed Sharon's Rose: O let thy face upon me shine, Since thou by choice hast made me thine.
