First Line: GOD SUFFERS NOT HIS SAINTS, AND SERVANTS DEERE
Last Line: GIVES THEM BY TURNES THEIR GRIEF AND JOLLITIE.
Subject(s): PAIN; SUFFERING; MISERY;
God suffers not His Saints, and Servants deere,
To have continuall paine, or pleasure here:
But look how night succeeds the day, so He
Gives them by turnes their grief and jollitie.
