And whilst they dwell in houses seel'd in State Gods Houses must lye waste and desolate The consecrated Temples they 'le come in Esteeming Reverence there to be a sinne And that for holinesse there is no ods In manners 'twixt his horses house and God's But leaving this Saint-seeming holy crew Who in their braines doe strange religions brew Whose Grounds have neither Reason Root or Pith Which Patriarches were ne're acquainted with Which from the Prophets were unknowne and hid Which Christ and his Apostles did forbid Which Councels or old Fathers ne're decreed Nor from the first true Church did e're proceed If either Separatist or Schismatique Or Anabaptist Hare-brain'd Heretique From Scripture Church or Father could but show That reverently to God men should not bow In triumph then they might display their Banners And shew some reason for their want of manners To thee that read'st or hear'st these lines I send That art so stiffe in th' hams thou canst not bend Thou ought'st in feare and love bow downe thy knee To him whose Grace and Love came downe to thee Oh fall before him that hath rais'd thee up And for thy soules life drank Deaths bitter cup Thy Body prostrate that it may expresse Thy Soules intentions humble thankfulnesse As hee 's thy Maker duteous honour doe him As hee 's a Judge offended kneele unto him The Captive doom'd to hell for his offence Ought kneele to Him that did redeeme him thence Fall downe and with thy soule thy body bend And then no doubt thy prayers will ascend For though Heaven be from Earth a mighty space The most High 's neer'st the lowly with his grace An injur'd man oft-times such mercy feeles To pardon his offender when he kneeles Judge and condemne thy selfe and then the fruit Will be God will not Judgement execute For free remission of thy sinnes unholy Thou canst not in thy gesture be too lowly He that 's asham'd to worship God is then Like him that doth deny him before men Then if thy soule be touch'd with penitence Expresse it with thy bodies reverence For though God of our kneeling hath no need To blesse Humility he hath decreed And not to kneele when we Gods blessings seeke Doth shew we neither lowly are or meeke To bow thy heart true faith doth thee perswade And he that made thy heart thy knee hath made And since he hath made all and every part Hee 'le have thy knees obedience with thy Heart Hee 'le have no halfes he made and will have all And there 's no halting safe 'twixt God and Baal Beware therefore when God thou com'st before Thy rude behaviour not incense him more Thy misery bewaile upon thy knee And he from misery thy soule will free For as thou often kneel'st for daily Bread Wherewith thy earth-decaying corps is fed So forth ' Eternall Living Bread must thou Both heart and knee both soule and body bow The Prodigall with kneeling and with mourning Was grac'd and feasted at his home-returning That Christ to man Coheireship doth impart 'T is Gods abundant Love not mans desert His humble servants here by him shall be Exalted to Eternall dignitie Wilt thou or dar'st thou thou fraile earthy clod Be fellow to th' Immortall Sonne of God Or dar'st thou stand or sit with sawcie pride To entertaine thy Saviour glorifide Dost thou not know the Great Kings Seale of Heaven Is come from thence to thee and to thee given Wherein the pardon of thy sinnes is sign'd Whereby thou may'st true peace of conscience find Whereas Christs Holy Spirit present is Wherewith his Grace doth blesse this work of his Where Bread of Life the bread doth sanctifie To all that Eat it in Humilitie Thou also in the Cup by faith may'st see His precious Blood that deign'd to die for thee Which signes and figures of Remembrance must Put us in minde that we must firmely trust His Body offred for us and his Blood Is All in All the Summe of all our Good He that Receives this and will not afford To kneele and thank so Great a Gracious Lord Is Atheist Pagan or besides his wits Unworthy of such blessed Benefits There is the figure of th' Eternall Feast And thither Grace invites thee as a Guest The Royall Robe the wedding Garment there Is set before thee for thy soule to weare The King is present Angels wait on thee And wilt thou not kneele downe and thankfull be And now some proofes I plainly will unfold How good men worship'd God in times of old When God who is for evermore I AM Did promise Isaac unto Abraham The good old man his duty knew so well That humbly bowing on his face he fell Moses did fall before the Lord and pray He would from Isr'el turne his wrath away Blest David all night on the earth did ly And fast and pray in great humility King Salomon did to this duty yeeld That though his prayer was long he praying kneeld Eliah humbly kneel'd and prayd for raine And blessed fruitfull showers he did obtaine The Leper worship'd Christ and faith procur'd That I WILL BE THOU CLEANE was said which cur'd When our Humility is of such proofe To know our selves unworthy that our roofe Christ should come under then such Grace we win That then the King of Glory doth come in The woman kneel'd and beg'd and her request Was granted and the devill dispossest The man possest with many fiends fell downe And all the Legion to the swine were throwne When Iairus kneel'd and did for favour plead His daughter was revived that was dead The woman with the bloody Issue fell And kneel'd and trembled and she was made well Among ten Lepers cur'd Grace bore such sway That one return'd and tythe of Thanks did pay Our Saviour humbly kneel'd and meekly prayd God his heavenly Father for his ayd St. Peter kneel'd and prayd unto the Lord And Dorcas was from death to life restor'd And blessed Paul with kneeling did implore That God would blesse his Church fot evermore And when from Tyrus he did make repaire He with the rest there humbly kneel'd in prayer St. Steven kneel'd and prayd with veh'ment cryes For his stone-hearted stony enemies The slave did kneele and from his Lord did get Forgivnesse for ten thousand talents debt Th' Almighty by himselfe hath sworne and vowd That every knee shall unto him be bow'd In Heaven in Earth all things beneath the same That every knee shall bowe at Iesus name The wicked and accursed fiends of Hell In feare and trembling downe before him fell In Heaven where endlesse Glories Saints doe crown The foure and twenty Elders doe fall downe And worship him that sits upon the Throne That lives for ever the blest three in one There Angels Heav'ns and all the Powers therein The chaunting Cherubin and Seraphin Continually
