WILLIAM STEWART TO THE CHVRCH OF SCOTLAND . Sonnet . THou little Church , to whom Christ hath restor'd The cleare lost light of his Evangell pure : Thy God doth with all diligence procure , That with his word , thou maist be still decor'd . Though thou have long his wholesome truth abhor'd , Yet his great mercies did thy blindnesse cure , Submitting thee , unto the carefull cure , Of such pastours , as truely teach his word . Out of whose hands ( what great thanks ) now receive , All Davids Psalmes , set forth in pleasant verse : Agreater gift of them thou couldst not crave , Whose endlesse fruit , my pen cannot rehearse : For here thou hast , for every accident That may occurre , a doctrine pertinent .
