A COPY OF V●●●●●Made by that Reverend Man of God Mr. John Wilson , Pa●●or first Church in Boston ; On the sudden Death of MR. Joseph Brisco , Who was translated from Earth to Heaven Jan. 1. 1657. Not by a Fiery Chariot as Elisha was . But by the Water , which was the outward cause : And now at Rest with Christ his Saviour dear , Though he hath left his dear Relations here .

THere is no Job but cries to God 〈…〉 And God his ear in Christ ; to 〈…〉 Out of the deeps to him I 〈…〉 And unto me his gracious 〈…〉 Doubt not of this ye that my death be 〈…〉 What if it did so strangely me assail ; What if I was so soon in Waters drown●… And when I cry'd to men , no help I found : There was a God in Heaven that heard my cry ▪ And lookt upon me with a gracious eye , He that did pity Joseph in his grief , Sent from above unto my soul relief : He sent his Angels who did it conveigh Into his Bosom , where poor Laz'rus lay : Let none presume to censure my estate , As Job his Friends did stumble at his Fate . All things on Earth do fall alike to all , To good Disciples , which on God that call , To those that do Blespheme his Holy Name , And unto those that reverence the same ; He that from nature drew me unto Grace , And look'd upon me with a Fathers face : When in my blood upheld me to the last , And now I do of joyes eternal tast .
