I shall Conclude with those Sacred Poems of the Reverent George Herbert fo. 140 which are so agreeable to me boath in heart & soule, viz' :

Thou hath granted my Request,

Thou hath heard me,

Thou didst note my Workeing breast,
Thou hath spard me.

Wherefore with my utmost art

I will sing thee,

And the Crown of all my heart

I will bring thee,
Though my sins against me Cryed,
Thou didst Cleare me,

And alone when they replyed,

Thou didst heare me,

Seven whole days, not one in seven,

I will praise thee,

In my heart, though not in heaven,
