Whose never failing Care doth still advance My Cup my Table and Inheritance Who thus exacts thy body to be rent What am I wormling that I should relent The meanest parcell of his blessed pleasure For all the worlds rich pomp and perishing treasure No no I am no Zippora to say Thou art a bloody Mate to me this day But since thy will must or by us be done Or else upon us let Subjection Be our best service for 't is known that thou Exalt'st the humble and the proud dost bow No no my Sonne bow bow thy selfe obay The yoak which he upon thy neck doth lay He is thy Father and thou art his Sonne His grace must guide thee till thy race be run Cease therefore you my teares my sighs and all My sorrowes to your rest your selves recall For though my Sonne my Love and Darling rather Be deare to me he must obey his Father And by his sufferings in the flesh allay His fury whose disdain works our decay 'T is true thou in thy selfe canst have no need By Circumcisions stroak and wound to bleed For in thee no such sinfull spot doth dwell As needeth Circumcision for a Seal Only for us poore sinners thou' rt content To seale thy selfe with our sinnes Sacrament That as old Abraham was the first put on This as the seale of his adoption Thou by this Seale wilt shew thy selfe that seed In whom our blessing first was promised Next that the Law in thee may cleerly see Thou cam'st not to destroy it's liberty But to fulfill it by the Lawes great Seale Thou tak'st our debt on thee and art our baile Thirdly that in thy Circumcision we Our Fore-fathers salvations map might see Thou' rt made the whole worlds Saviour altogether Heb. 13.8 Rev. 3.8 To day to morrow and the same for ever And what is more thou must be circumcised And in some short succeeding time baptized That wee may learn to circumcise our hearts As well's our outward and our carnall parts Deut. 10.16 For God is no waies like to frantick man VVho only doth the outward count'nance scan But rather chooseth to behold the heart And what in it doth sweetly smile or smart That by a righteous recompence he may Our actions and affections both repay And last of all that all the world may learn Thy true humanitie rightly to discern Thou must bee circumcis'd and in the sight Of Priest and people both declare the right That thou art true man having flesh and bone Like us in all things save corruption Thus have I weakly with a darkned cole Lim'd out the secret passions of the Soule Of this great Nymph and hop'd t' have bid farewell To all the terrors which her Soule could feel But ô I see my selfe intrench'd again In those meandring paths of toyle and pain VVherein poore worldlings run a circled course Of joyes and greefs of better and of worse O how my pen denies to point that story To which it cannot yeeld deserved glory For in this Scean of hers nothing is common But all dread wonders shee a wondrous woman Come then brave Nymph come let me ask thee why Thou dost in danger and difficulty Revisit Salems sacred Temple that With legall sanctions and I wot not what A world of Ceremonious Rites thou may Thy presuppos'd Impur'ty purge away Well might'st thou Mary and besides thee none Have claim'd immunity and exemption From all those shadowes and Levitick showes Which Sinne and Trespasse on their owners throwes Not that thou in thy selfe art voyd and free From sinnes infective spot and leprosie No no that were a grace of too great note For any Child that Adam ev'r begot Since all who from old Adams loynes discend In Adams loynes doe still by sinne offend He onely being except who from thy wombe A second Adam to the world hath come No this is all that I averre That by That heav'nly spring which from thy womb did fly There flow'd no such contagious spot and staine As once could make thee legally uncleane 'T is true those Mothers which in sinne conceive A Race by sinne re-oblig'd to the Grave And by their sinne unto the Law stand tyde May by the Law seek to be purified But since thy Darling by himselfe ne're knew Save for our sakes how sinne doth man subdue What needest thou by Turtles of Purgation T'enact the Scean of thy Purification Then to unloose this riddle let us look What Moses hath recorded in that book Wherein Gods written Law doth give direction For the purgation of our sinnes infection There it is writ that if a woman beare A man-child to the world she shall appeare Before the Lord but not untill the Sun Full forty times about the world have run And when shee dares t' approach and come before him E're shee doe bend her knees and goe t' adore him Shee must present a Lamb and Pidgeons two The true confessors of her sinfull flow And these the Priest must on the Altar burn And to true pur'ty her impur'ty turn And if shee have no Lamb to sacrifice Two Turtles or two Pidgeons shall suffice Here here I see thee Nymph with severe aw Obtemper the strict sanction of this Law And as thou hadst been by thy byrth unclean Thou wilt thy self thus purifie again Offring two Pidgeons void of gall or harm And thy unspotted Lamb born in thine arm O blessed Lamb of God how dost thou now Turn these poor types to what is re'lly true And as the Index of the clock doth tell The severall motions of three six nine twelve So by these creatures thou the great Creator Mak'st them bee cyphers thee significator A Lamb did Abel when the world began First offer to thy Father thou' rt the Man Presignified whose blood hath better dy Then Abel's in his causless butchery E're Noab from his pitched Ark came forth Hee sent a Pidgeon of unspotted worth To view the new workls state shee turns again The witness of a calm decreasing Maine And in her Bill an olive-branch to show Th' Almighties wrath had stopt his surious flow Thou art the Man aspotless Pidgeon rather Who in thy mouth bringst fromth'Eternall Father The unexpected Sacrament of Peace That seales the Sermon of our Love and Grace And as the Turtle in her widdow-while Is never seen so much as once to smile But with continuall mourning doth bemoan The loss of her enamour'd Paragon So thou bewailing that the master-peece Thou didst at first seale with thy own impresse Should by a strangers stamp be stoln away And in destructions wandring paths to stray Com'st now at last and over Bether trips With loves exulting scalads shews and skips And cannot rest till in thy arms strict hold Thou doe thy deerest Minion reinfold Hence hence it is dread Nymph that sacred thou Not for a new Moons sake nor for a vow But for obedience to the Law wilt goe To Salem's Temple and in publick showe Be purifi'd and in thy
