Our growing grief, and fresh recurring fears.
An Anagram on
MASTER JAMES RENWICK.
I am Christ's meek Servant.
An Acrostic on the same.
| Meekness and | Magnanimity most rare, |
| Advanc'd thy | Actions with advantage fair, |
| Submissive | Self denial, suffering slights, |
| Twisted with | True zeal for Emmanuel's rights, |
| Extoll'd thee | Early in esteem and fame, |
| Renowned | Renwick, evermore the same. |
| Jehovah | Jireh was thy constant joy. |
| Along thy | Always arduous employ : |
| Magnified | Martyr! men thee much admire ; |
| Enemies | Envy, and enraged ire, |
| Shaming them | Selves, thy sufferings to bespatter. |
| Reproaches | Restless with renown did scatter, |
| Eminent | Enterprises in all dangers, |
| Noble thy | Name have notify'd to strangers, |
| Vexations | Various suffered valiantly. |
| Imbalm’d thy | Innocence to memory. |
| Comfort from | Christ did stop all thy complaints, |
| Kill‘d thour’t for | Keeping his commandments. |
FINIS.
