JUry came to Jeru-salem, (all the world was taxed then) Blessed Mary brought to Bethelem, more then all the world agen: A gift so blest, So good, the best that ere was seene, was heard or done, A King, a Christ, Prophet, and Priest: a Jesus, God, a Man, a Sonne. Happie night, a day was never, halfe so happie sweet and faire: Singing Soldiers (blessed ever) fill the skie with sweetest ayre. Amazd men feare, They see, they heare. yet doubt and aske how this was done: Twas bid, be bold,It was foretold, this night hath God himselfe a Son, There appeares a golden Usher, Kings attending in their traine:The bright Sun could not out blush her, such a Star nere shone againe. See now it staies, Seeming it sayes, Goe in and see, what there is done, A Child whose birth, Leagues heaven and earth, Jesus to us, to God a Sonne.
Subtill Herod sought to find him, with a purpose blacke as hell:But a greater power confind him, and his purpose did repell:Who should betray, Doe al obey, as fitting was it should be done:They al adore, And kneele before, this God and Man, to God a Sonne. Twas upon a Commets blazing, Cuma to Augustus said, This fore-shewes an act amazing: for a Mother still a maid, A Babe shall beare, That al must feare, and suddenly it must be done: Nay Caesar thou, To him must bow, hees God, a Man, to God a Sonne. Is not this a blessed wonder, God is Man, and Man is God: Foolish Jewes mistooke the thunder, should proclaime this King abroad. Angels they sing, Behold the King, in Bethelem where this was done:Then we as they, Rejoyce and say, We have a Saviour, God a Sonne.

TUrne your eyes that are affixed on this worlds deceving things:And with joyes and sorrowes mixed, looke upon the King of Kings, Who let his throwne: With joyes unknowne: tooke flesh like ours, like us drew breath For us to die, Heere fixe our eye, and thinke upon his precious death. See him in the garden praying, while his sad Disciples slept: See him in the Garden sweating drops of blood and how he wept:As man he was, He wept (alas) and trembling feare to loose his breath, Yet to heavens will, He yeelded still: then thinke upon his precious death. See him by the Souldiers taken, when with Ave and a kisse:He that Heaven had quite forsaken, had betrayd him and with this, Behold him (bound And garded round) to Caiphas borne to loose his breath, There see the Jewes Heavens King abuse: O thinke upon his precious death.
See him in the hands of Pilat, like a base offender stript: See the moane, and teares they smile at, while they see our Saviour whipt. Behold him bleed, His purple weede record, while you have life and breath, His taunts and scornes, His Crowne of thornes, or thinke upon his precious death. See him in the howre of parting, hanging on his bloody Crosse:See his wounds[,] conceive his smarting, and our gaine, by his lives losse. On either side A Fellow died, the one derides him leaving breath:The other prayes, And humbly saies: O save me by thy precious death. See as in these pangs he thirsted, and that heat to coole did call, How these Jewes (like Judas cursed) bring him vinegar and gall, His spirit then, To Heaven agen, commending with his latest breath, The world he leaves, That man deceaves: O thinke upon his precious death.
