 a poor despised worm.

When delicate professors come

to a communion.

Then all their care's to bind themselves

with strong vows them upon.

But the true saint invincible

in Jesus Christ is found;

For without him they're weak like worms

that crawl upon the ground.

When saints are into heaven brought,

with Christ in glory share,

Worm Jacob may lay by his flail,

he'll need to thrash, no more,

We who had access him to hear

upon the thirty one,

Preach on that text, His name shall be

continued like the sun;

He said, though men his name ran down

while he was here beneath,

Yet Christ, the glorious sun, will rise,

and run them out of breath.

The doctrine was that Jesus' name

continued shall be,

To generate sons to himself

while ages lasting be.

Upon the Monday he stood up,

and did exhort us all;

He said, my brethren, this day

we've got a double call

The Lord doth loose the prisoners,
