The Spirit compared to Wind. Joh. 3.8 The Wind bloweth where it listeth c. 1 THe Wind Lord is invisible Its way we can't find out No Mortal can thy Spirit see Though he does search about His motions they most hidden are Mysterious in their kind That thou dost them oft times compare To motions of the Wind. 3 The Wind at thy command doth blow Lord 't is as thou dost please Thy Spirit moves on us below To wound or to give ease 4 According to thy Soveriegn Grace It operates on Men Sometimes he doth sharply rebuke Then cherishes agen 5 Like as the Nort-wind so does he The Worms and Weeds destroy Those filthy Vermin which we see Our Souls so much annoy 6 He tryals and afflictions lays On us and does reprove And then sweet Southern-gales displays Our sorrows to remove The second Part. 1 He like the Wind doth Cloulds expell And makes a clearer Air Our ignorance he doth repeal And makes our Sun shine clear 2 He like the Wind does search and try And pierces ev'ry part By which he does discern and spy The secrets of each heart 3 He dryes up all our ways so soul And makes our paths more clean He makes a holy gracious Soul Which had most filthy been 4 His influence and bless'd effects We oftentimes do feel He makes the tender Willows bend And mighty Cedars reel 5 He makes the glory of Man to fade Like Flowers of the Field And throws down houses such have made Who on the sands do build 6 He blows oft times till Rain does fall Or Tears do pour amain And afterwards we see withall He clears our sky again The Third Part. 1 Men with much care and observance Do mind how the Winds blow So we th' Spirits influence Likewise should strive to know 2 Our Souls becalm'd sometimes we see For want of a fresh gale Without the Spirit move can't we Thy Wind must fill our sayl 3 Sometimes thy Spirit blows so slow As if it quite were still Yet at such times his work doth do With strange and wondrous skill 4 From all which things it doth appear Th' Spirit Operations Are sometimes less and sometimes more He differs in his motions 5 Let 's cry to God who holds Winds In his Almighty Fist Who makes it blow this way or that As he himself doth list 6 That he would send a fresher gale Upon his Garden so That our sweet Fruit may never fail But Spices forth may flow HYMN 69. The Spirit compar'd to Wind. 1 Thess 5.22 Quench not the Spirit 1 O Lord 't is sharp 't is very cold A Fire let us have We seem benumm'd both young and old Thy Spirit we do crave 2 'T is that will warm and quicken us Who are so flat and dead Shall we lye starving and chill'd thus As if all joys were fled 3 There is in us so little heat Our Spirits are so faint O blow thy fire we intreat That spark in ev'y Saint 4 It does give light and also warmth Yea 't will revive us so That we shall mount and high ascend Above all things below 5 Let it consume and seize upon That Chaff which is within O let it burn in every one And quite consume our sin 6 Ye Saints take heed ye quench it not But let it vehement burn And kindle so that every sin It may to Ashes turn 7 Without this fire we can't work Nor any business do Life motion and activity Always from him does flow HYMN 70.

without that Lord Will never burn nor raise our hearts As we have newly heard 5 Fire will melt and soften things That hard are naturally 'T is by thy Word and Spirit we Do with thy Will comply 6 'T is that which bends makes us yield And humbles much the heart Which naturally was proud and vain And too obdurate The Second Part. 1 Thy Word it quickens and revives Like Fire it does chear It consolates and makes such warm Who to it do draw near 2 For they who to it will not come No profit can receive So such who do reject thy Word Their Souls shall not live 3 Fire will penetrate and pierce There is no secret place Within the Soul but thy Word will Most quick and swiftly pass 4 It doth the very Thoughts discern Nay it divides between The Soul and Spirit of a Man To sever both from sin 5 And Fire is used to lay waste Houses where Rebels hide Ev'n so thy Word doth quite consume The House of Lusts and Pride 6 Man with vain hopes a House doth raise And vaunts himself each day But when thy Word doth sieze on him His House consumes a way 7 All his vain hope he had before It is consum'd and gone And a new Temple up is rais'd For the most holy One.

God's Word comp to a Hammer Jer. 23.29 Is not my Word like a Fire and like a Hammer to break the Rock in pieces 1 ROcks they are hard to work upon Yea ' gainst a mighty Hand The hardest Flint or Pebble-stone Whole long it cannot stand 2 If thou O Lord art pleas'd to take The Hammer up and strike Thou wilt Impression quickly make Though none can do the like 3 There 's none can break our flinty Rock Besides thy self alone Alas our power is too weak To break such hearts of stone 4 What can the Hammer do O Lord Thou the great Agent art The Instrument that is thy Word O smite upon the heart 5 And make it yield and square it then For thy own bless'd design Thy Image on it Lord cut out Most holy and divine 6 And fit it for thy building too O set it in its place And life infuse into it so That it may shine with Grace The Second Part. 1 O let it be well polished And it also unite Unto thy building there to be A Jasper-stone most bright 2 That it may suit and well agree With the Foundation stone Which is of Gold no Diamond More glorious ever shone 4 And then shall we when thus we be Into thy Building laid Have cause to sing unto our King By thy eternal aid 4 This Hammer of thy blessed Word Must drive the Nail quite home Or else Convictions will not stick Whenever they do come 5 The Precept Lord will not abide Nor Promise fast'ned be Nor no Conviction last in us Until drove home by thee 6 But since we find they fasten'd are Let us sing forth thy Praise And since thy Word so precious is Let us its Glory raise HYMN 92. Hymns on the Divine Authority of the Sacred Scriptures 1 THe sacred Scriptures are sublime Although mysterious be Their Matter shews they are divine Nay their divinity 2 Is seen by what they do treat of Or unto us make known There we do read of great Jehovah The high and lofty One 3 Of his dread Essence nature pure And of the Vnity Between the Father Son and Spirit Or holy Trinity 4 There do we read of his great works Who did this World frame How out of nothing by his Word All things at the first came ● There we may see and wonder too ●ow infinite Wisdom shone W●th ' glorious compact made between The Father and the Son 6 In finding out and bringing in A way for to unite Justice and Mercy that so they Might equally shine bright 7 Here Justice doth with Mercy meet Like an endeared Brother And Mercy doth God's Justice greet And both do kiss each other 8 From hence ye may see cause to sing Th' Eternal One's high praise In bringing in of Jesus Christ With thankful hearts always The second Part. 1 Th' Antiquity of Scripture show That they are most divine For no Writings did the World know So soon as they did shine 2 This was the first and chiefest Book That e're was made or pen'd O therefore love in it to look Though you can't comprehend 3 The Mysteries that lye therein Hid from all carnal Eyes Yet since it hath so ancient been O see these lines ye prize 4 Their Royal descent from God alone Also does plain appear By their high Style and Majesty That shines in them most clear The Third Part. 1 The holiness which they promote To such a high degree May clearly ev'ry Soul convince Of their Authority 2 So pure and perfect is God's Word It silence may all them Who it oppose and Saints from hence It love and much esteem 3 This is the cause wherefore they love God's Words better than Gold Or Jewels rich which are esteem'd By most who them behold 4 They see God's Precepts are most just It doth all sins descry And ev'ry Lust and false way they Hate
Let us be sick of Love 4 For these great Blessings O most High VVe will thy Praises sing VVho hast also Lord heard our cry Praise to our glorious King 5 VVe cried to thee with our hearts To make thy Servant whole And from the all-devouring Grave For to return his Soul 6 And thou dost Lord a new life send And wouldest not permit That he should hastily descend Into the dolesom Pit 7 VVe therefore sing and give thee praise Most holy let us be VVith hearts united all our days Let us live unto thee HYMN 185.
