his church; which has broken the pride of the great ones of this world,
and brought many of them meekly and joyfully to submit their necks to
the sweet yoke of Christ.

the desert of Cades.

the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.

28:10. The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king
for ever. The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless
his people with peace.
