A Remark upon the Baths In the City of Bath in Somersetshire With a Word of Tender Caution and Admonition to the Inhabitants thereof I 'Ve travell'd far and near this Nation up and down I 've lov'd to see and hear God's Works of great renown Wonderfully indeed they set forth his great Pow'r To which we must take heed and fear him ev'ry hour Earth's Book that 's here below doth set forth God's great Pow'r Most glorious Works doth show unto this very hour And herein stands our Bliss to serve the living Lord And that Man blessed is whose Deeds with it accord Tho' I have great things seen the Baths I must admire Hot Waters there have been and still are without Fire Some wise Men there have sought this Myst'ry to find out Their labour is at nought they leave off with a doubt This wonder makes me pause my Thoughts have gone about Here 's Supernatural Cause to me it 's beyond doubt Th' Effects thereof declare the Cause that it is so The works of it are rare Lame whole away do go Diseas'd of many a place come here to find relief It yields in many a case and takes away their grief The Cripple with his Crutch comes limping to this place The Vertue of it's such he 's heal'd and goes a-pace Crutches advanced are as I did plainly see To shew Bath's Vertue rare O let God honour'd be As for Bethesda's Pool it differed in Nature For doubtless that was cool but these are still hot Water Now may I speak to you in Meekness and in Love The Counsel given's true may it effectual prove Inhabitants of Bath I have to you Good Will And truly wish you Faith God's Mercies do you fill Do ye submit to him who is your great Creator Whose Mercies great are seen in this your Virtuous Water Come heark to me a while for my intent is good There 's no such place i' th' Isle whose Springs yield so much Food For by your Virtuous Springs I eas'ly may suppose Giv'n by the King of Kings y 'ave both Meat Drink and Clothes Let Love of God therefore for evermore take place Sin Vanity give o'er for it doth you disgrace Be cautioned in time for God hates all such things Repent of every Crime lest Virtue leave your Springs I pray you Serious be and fear the Living God For you I shew how He may visit with his Rod. But as you heed do take to his Divine Appearance Of which the Scripture speak with a most plain Coherance Then may ye Fruits bring forth which Mercy may engage And him who hath and doth may bless you in your Age. I pray this Caution take as given in true Love So may God's Mercy make you Joyful from above And thus when Health shall end and this Life cease to be The Lord may be your Friend to all Eternity R. A.
