Almighty to rescue thou art; Thy Grace is my only Resource; If e'er thou art LORD of my Heart, Thy spirit must take it by Force.

[5 He spoke, and strait our Hearts and Brains In all their Motions rose, Let Blood, said he, flow round the Veins, And round the Veins it flows. 6 While we have Breath, or use our Tongues, Our Maker we'll adore: His Spirit moves our heaving Lungs, Or they would breathe no more.]
