As erst it was disconsolate and low.
Thou art become as rich, as whilom poor;
As blesséd now as curséd heretofore.
For being cleanséd with Christ's precious Blood,
Thou hast an int'rest in the chiefest Good;
God's anger is towards thy Soul appeas'd,
And in his Christ he is with thee well pleas'd.
Yea, he doth look upon thee with a mild
And gracious aspect, as upon his child.
He is become thy Father and thy Friend,
