Fallen is their boafted Chief,
Scatter'd are the Philistines, -
Scatter'd by a True Belief
Are all my meaner Síns.

10. Rife, ye Men of Ifrael, rife,
Your routed Foe pursue,
Shout His Praifes to the Skies
Who conquers Sin for You:
JESUS doth for You appear,

He His Conquering Grace affords, Saves You, not with Sword and Spear, The Battle is the LORD'S.

11. Every Day the Lord of Hofts
His mighty Power difplays,
Stills the proud Philistine's Boaft,
The threatning Gittite flays:
Ifrael's GOD let All below
Conqueror over Sin proclaim;
O that All the Earth might know
The Power of JESU's Name.

12. Sin hath tyranniz'd too long O'er Ifrael's chofen Race, Dar'd defy the feeble Throng,

And all their Armies chase;

Armies of the Living God

Bafely they to Sin did yield; Sin can never be destroy'd

Till David takes the Field.

13. Love alone can match in Fight, And conquer every Foe;

Saul with all his Strength and Might

Can never Sin o'erthrow;

Saul may vex (the Law reftrain)

David takes the Giant's Head,

Love will never turn again

Till every Sin is dead.

OF

Romans x, 6, &c.

FI. Fr I in my Heart have faid,
Who fhall afcend on high,
Mount to CHRIST my Glorious Head,
To bring Him from the Sky?
Born on Contemplation's Wing,
Surely I fhould find Him there
Where the Angels praise their King,
And gain the Morning-Star.

2. Oft I in my Heart have faid,
Who to the Deep shall stoop,
Sink with CHRIST among the Dead
From thence to bring him up?
* Could I but my Heart prepare
By unfeign'd Humility,
CHRIST Would quickly enter there,
And ever dwell with me.

3. But the Righteoufness of Faith
Hath taught me better things,
"Inward turn Thine Eyes, (it faith
While CHRIST to me it brings)
"CHRIST is Ready to impart,
"Life to All for Life who figh,
"In Thy Mouth, and in Thy Heart,
"The Word is ever nigh.

My Faith in Thee confefs;
