WHen Jesus Christ was 12 years Old, As holy Scriptures plainly told, He then disputed brave and bold, among the Learned Doctors: Who wondered greatly at his Wit, As in the Temple they did sit, For no man Might compare with it, his wisdom was so Heavenly. Then praise the Lord both high and low Which all these wondrous works doth show That we to Heaven at length may go, where he in Glory reigneth. At thirty years he then began, To preach the Gospel unto man, And all Judea wondred than, to hear his Heavenly Doctrine: Such works he did as made them muse, Among the proud hard-hearted Jews, Yet never more they did refuse, to take him for their Saviour. Then praise, etc. For first of all by power Divine, He changed water into Wine, When at the Marriage he did dine, which made the people wonder: Moreover with seven Loaves of Bread, Seven thousand men he fully fed, Which was a wonder great indeed, throughout the land of Jury. Then praise, etc. And by his Glorious power and might, Unto the blind he gave their sight, For which the Jews bore him a spight, who sought for to destroy him: The man who was both Deaf and Dumb, Which never heard nor spoke with tongue, By Christ was heard when he did come, whose praise he then pronounced. Then praise, etc. The woman that was grieved sore, With an issue of blood twelve years and more Unto her health he did restore, in a minute of an hour: The Captains man that sick did lye, Our Saviour healed presently, Although he never came him nigh, his word alone did help him. Then praise etc.
Like wise he heal'd the Leapers ten, Whose bodies were most filthy then, Yet none but one did come agen, him humble thanks to render: And he that sick of the Palsie lay, With shaking joynts many a day, The Lord to heal him did not stay, but straight his will fulfilled. Then praise, etc. The halt and Lame that could not go, But still remained in great woe; Our Saviour Christ did pitty show, and made him whole and lusty: The man that was with Devils possest, And never liv'd in peace or rest, By Christ his word at length was blest, and they were clean cast from him. Then praise, etc. The Widdows Son that sick did lye, When Christ our Saviour came him nigh, He raised to life immediately, unto her joy and comfort: When Mary and Martha made great moan Because her Brother was dead and gone, Our Lord put him in Life alone, and he from grave came running. Then praise, etc. And more his Heavenly might did show, Upon the Seas himself did go, And never none could yet do so, but only Christ our Saviour: And when the Souldiers with great might, Did look to take him in the night, They were not able to stand in sight, till he the same permitted. Then praise, etc. But yet for all these wonders great, The Jews was in a raging heat, Whom no perswasions could intreat, but cruelly did kill him: And when he left his life so good, The Moon was turned into blood, The earth and Temple shaking stood, and Graves full wide did open. Then praise, etc. Then some of them that stood thereby, With voice aloud began to cry, This was the Son of God truly, without all kind of doubting: And as they said it proved plain, For in three days he rose again, Although he suffered bitter pain, both Heaven and Hell he conquered. Then praise, etc. And after that ascended he, to Heaven in Glorious Majesty, With whom God send us all to be, for evermore rejoycing: Then praise the Lord both high and low, Which all these wondrous works doth show That we to Heaven at length may go, where he in Glory reigneth.
