The Evidence

His Word confirms the Sale:
Those Sheets enfold my Bliss:
Eternity its self's the Pale
Wherin my tru Estate enclosed is:
Each ancient Miracle's a Seal:
Apostles, Prophets, Martyrs, Patriarchs are
The Witnesses: and what their Words reveal,
Their written Records do declare.
All may well wonder such a 'State to see
In such a solemn sort settled on me.

Did not his Word proclaim
My Title to th' Estate,
His Works themselvs affirm the same
By what they do; my Will they antedate.
Before I was conceiv'd, they were
Allotted for my great Inheritance;
As soon as I among them did appear
They did surround me, to advance
My Interest & Lov. Each Creature says,
God made us Thine, that we might shew His Prais.

The Services they do,
Aloud proclaim them Mine;
In that they are adapted to
Supply my Wants; wherin they all combine
To pleas & serv me, that I may
God, Angels, Men, Fowls, Beasts, & Fish enjoy
Both in a natural & transcendent way;
And to my Soul the Sense convey
Of Wisdom, Goodness, Power, & Lov Divine,
Which made them all, & made them to be mine.
