content: "Blessed those who have God chose/ and in him put there trust/ Hee wil appere to them most nere/ when hence depart they must./ The lot of saints hath been afflictions/ wants and scorne and hee that was the best/ of men was mockt and crowned with thorns./ Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye hands/ & serve thelord with gladness/ Come before his presence with sinsins (?)/ Know ye that the Lord he is God It is he that / hath made us & not we ourselves/ We are his people & the sheep of his pasture./ Enter into his gates with thanksgiving/ & into his courts with praise./ They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount/ Zion which cannot be removed/ But abideth for ever as the mountains are round/ about Jerusalem so the Lord is round about/ his people from henceforth even for ever./ For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon/ the lot of the righteous/ Lest the righteous put forth th (?)/ Adorn thy soul with grace/ prize more wisdom then all the pearls upon the/ Indian shore. This work in my hand my friends may have/ when I am dead and laid in grave./ Thomizan Thomson workt this 1717."
