A word to the patient Readers consideration in season so I shal leave it to the Reader to judg a charitable judgment to the proceedings after A Message to the world which the world loves not but rather is reviling against the messinger which to me brings glad tydings and therefore they are crying out against me and accusing me for putting times to the songs in my Book entituled the singing of Praises but now the cause of their malice against me or persecuting of me therefore I shal cease from that work of vanity as they cal it but rather please a fool in his folly so at this time J am taken up in earnest occasion that time wil not permit any longer to give babes meat but rather should feed them with milk and give meat to stronger men who is able to bear meat But at this time J am called upon or else I should speak a word or two to the Babes and sucklings of the world that cry blasphemy and know it not they accuse me for not setting my name to my book of Songs which is entituled the singing of Praises and many such false accusations they have raised upon me for blasphemy touching my life but for my part J do not wrong none of them all neither did I ever blaspheme never in my life but as they do accuse me for not setting my name to my Book of Songs I have proved them lyars and I am not ashamed of my name I set my name to that book three times and I would have them understand themselves nor mistake me and so I shal conclude this which is Written by James Michel A vindication of the Verses in this Book THat he that rejoyceth in the Lord doth truly serve the Lord for the Spouse when they rejoyce it is in the knowledge that they received of the Lord glorifying the eternal God for those that glorifie the eternal God doe truly serve God but the property of meaning which the Scripture holds forth that the true service in the serving of God is the Spouse with ●esus Christ rejoycing in the Lord to the excellency of the most high God in that true sorvice when they serve God royally and truly in the sincerity of the heart they may safely rejoice over Antichrist and may truly and freely triumph over the Devil over Death over Hel and over Damnation And this the Spouse and those that do truly serve the Lord may rejoyce over these things and say O death where is thy sting O grave where is thy victory for those that know the most high God will glorifie that true God the Lord of beaven and earth that mighty King of Israel whose name is glorious Then you need not stand in fear of this Devil Hell death or damnation but may sing all honour glory and praise be given to the eternal God the Lord of best that is his name this Lord knows what my will is that I may freely say as the spouse saith that I will serve the Lord before the face of his enemies and by the love of the everlasting God and his glorious power if wee truly serve him we may truly rejoyce in him and sing with him triumph with him over his enemies in spight of the Devils face and in this service of the Lord as wee finde his love manifested to us so he will speak in us freely above tribulation singing peace with him and living in rest so we shal according at hee makes himself manifest to us we shall say then Devil do thy worst for we know our God is an everlasting God who will bear us on with love and carry us from all our enemies that do oppose the Lord Iesus so we shall freely be carried forth of trouble and live in silence for ever and so I conclude IAMES MICHEL The SPOVSE rejoycing over Antichrist 1.
