He who with all Heav'ns heraldry whileare  
Enter'd the world, now bleeds to give us ease;  
Alas, how soon our sin  
10  
Sore doth begin  
His Infancy to sease!  
O more exceeding love or law more just?  
Just law indeed, but more exceeding love!  
For we by rightfull doom remediles  
Were lost in death, till he that dwelt above  
High thron'd in secret bliss, for us frail dust  
Emptied his glory, ev'n to nakednes;  
And that great Cov'nant which we still transgress  
Intirely satisfi'd,  
20  
And the full wrath beside  
Of vengeful Justice bore for our excess,  
And seals obedience first with wounding smart  
This day, but O ere long  
Huge pangs and strong  
Will pierce more neer his heart.  
AT A SOLEMN MUSICK.
