ears have heard for with his hands Gods Word hath handled been Yea this is he can truly tell you things of admiration What for his Soul the Lord hath done in his Regeneration So he is gatherd up into the Cloud of Witnesses Which here alone did serve the Lord yea him did fear and please And these are they that do not preach at any time for Hire But having Gods Word in their heart cannot contain T is fire And if the Holy Ghost could not for money then he bought And Simon Magus was condemn'd for having such a thought What is the Ghost that is in men that money out do reach And what is that which it receives with condition to preach It seemeth then that they have not of God this self-same Gift Sith that they can contain themselves till we for money shift For them their lips can knowledge keep ther 's none that they wil cherish For if People no money have they all are like to perish For freely they receiv'd have not the Gospel they do preach And therefore freely can't it give so for rewards do Teach That these men truly you may know they tell you what was said By Prophets Christ and Apostels these are their only aid And thus like to the wandring Jews in their Names would cast out The unclean spirit that 's in men but it gives them the rout And so upon them it doth fall that they do quarter crave And do return and tell men that him out there 's none can have For that they know they Power have both in and or'e them to Though they use Paul and Jesus words for money this they do For Satans Kingdom 's not so weak he should himself out cast But this same preaching Pollicy makes it the longer last And so he sets them for to steal the Saints and Prophets Words And bids them hear the Word of God thus much he them affords But yet with this Proviso to That none the same can keep Or any now hath the same Spirit but that it still doth sleep And therefore must not now look for any such Miracle For the power and work is lost this is Satans Oracle For he hath now changed his Form to keep from Peoples sight Though he the Prince of darkness be yet seems Angel of Light These Priests and Curats that do take upon them Souls to cure Physitians are of no value that God's fire can't endure But here you see they have but what they from their Neighbours steal They having not set Seal to God he nought to them reveals And though they say Hear you Gods Word spoken to Jeremy Or unto some other Prophet yet in their mouth 's a lye And so tho they do say or swear that the Lord he doth 〈◊〉 Yea then they do false witness bear this Test they cannot give Whereas those that do dwell in God and He dwelleth in them The Prophets and Apostles know yea Davids 〈◊〉 and Stone B●ing in the Path they walkt do see their foot-steps every one And know their Light and Lanthorn to which unto them hath shown And therefore can in truth repeat what they to all do tell That God also their Souls hath brought from the dark pit of Hell This Spirit it may Preach and Teach Gods wonders manifold The which can speak Gods Word in truth being right a Lyin bol● Here you may see we do not quench Gods Spirit he affords That in the least measure doth speak rejoyce we at those words Something about SILENCE Object BUT some do say We marvel much that you can sit Silent We do conceive it no profit nor are with it content For if that we should sit a while silent from hearing breath Our mind a wandring then would be up and down in the Earth And so contriving in our hearts what 's to be done we plot Till there be someting we know not that on our heart doth smote And if this earthly spirit act ●…n for which we feel this smart Some former evil we have done lyes gnawing of our heart So to this outward Ear we must have Objects that do sound That the inward Intelect may thereby be wholly drown'd For that which doth us thus reprove and on our hearts doth smite Doth silence make our burthen ' cause it brings that to our sight For this is that to us doth shew the evils we have done In silence we are made to know therefore we silence shun And so among the trees do run our selves there for to hide For this same small still Voice at all by no means we abide Answer All this we must confess also for we the same have felt Gods Loving-kindness we do know thus he with us have dealt For t is the Lord the which doth wound and he doth also heal 'T is he doth kill and make alive thus with us he doth deal All the Satanick thoughts which thus wandred within our hearts His Light and Power did reprove he cast at them his Darts For this is the true Prophet which Ahab cannot abide That Prophesies not well of him that from the Lord doth slide And this is the Prophet also that the Samarians knew Which told them all they ever did they said 'T was Christ the true Though he at that time was in Fesh when he their thoughts did show But now in Spirit again is come by these things we him know The Word which in beginning was made Fesh Christ yesterday The same is now and e're shall be true Soules Eternal stay And this is that must humble all it is Gods mighty hand Before that ye exalted be his Power must make you stand And therefore now to Silence come Chastisement do'nt refuse For 't is Gods Love unto you all his Sons hereby doth chuse And therefore now with David pray the Lord your hearts to search To find out all Iniquity and in his fire it parch Yea with thy Candle do thou Lord search thy Jerusalem Tha it thy Holy City may be when thou turn'st out them That have kept and defil'd thy House the Temple that is thine Which unto thee should holy be Destroy them all in time That are not Children of thy House but came in by the Fall This Heathen Babylonish brood dash them against the Wall This Enemy which in thy Field when men slept there did Sow His Legions of Tares O Lord let them thy fire know This Man of sin in thy Temple presumptuously doth sit Exalting of himself above all that is calld God yet And shewing of himself to be the God of all the Earth Giving forth Laws of sin and death to all that here have breath And by those Laws in Members war and doth us captive lead Therefore for us O mighty God our Cause now do thou plead For in Hea'n we have none but Thee nor in Earth do we seek For any other helper but Thou Lamb of God the Meek For this same mighty Man of sin sends Ministers to praech None can
be freed from sin or death this Doctrine they do preach Whereby we all our Life-time have been kept in misery They also boldly do affirm that Paul he then did lye When unto God he did give thanks which was his strength and stay For that he had deliverance through Jesus Christ the Way And though Paul in his Agony did ask the question so From this Body of sin and death Who shall deliver Who This question it was only writ ' cause he would answer make Who was the alone Deliverance and for whose onely sake For none such tender pitty had to the poor wretched man To bind his wounds and 's wants supply but th' good Samaritan Who poured oyl into his wounds set him on his own Beast And brought him unto Christs own Inne the place of all Souls Rest With Wounds bound up and Charges paid this Love the Lord doth send With Stock laid in for future time what the poor Soul should spend Now shall not Paul when he is cleans'd and other Leapers to Return and give to God the thanks to whom alone t is due With David also come and tell what for his soul is done And that no Condemnation is in Jesus Christ Gods Son For they now walk not after flesh another Law they have The which of Spirit is and Life that doth their poor Souls save And this doth also set them free from Flesh Law Sin and Death And makes dry Bones together come for God sends for his Breath Which is the Gospel-Power of God which those Ministers hide Whose minds the God of this World blinds lest he should be espide Thus they go forth and People tell from sin they can't be freed Whilst on this side the Grave we are So their Lord's Lord indeed So making void the mighty Power of the Emanuel Who came to save People from sin Lyes of him they do tell As if his Hand were shortned and weakned were his Power Or that the World the Divels were for to rule every hour Whereas all Power in Heaven and Earth unto the Son is given And he must surely Raign on Earth though's Enemies have striven Him to oppose yet if not here Oh where shall Gods Son Raign For all his Enemies Death and Hell shall every one be slain For he must Rule till these be brought under his feet then shall The Son his Kingdom re-assigne and God be all in all So stop your mouths you Messengers that are Satanical For the Lords Christ is come to Raign his Rule must be your Fall And all your mighty Captains to which are of his Empire For Dragon Beast False Prophet to shall be cast in the fire For the Lords Christ came to destroy all the works of the Devil That Righteousness E'relasting may be brought from all that 's evil And if he were not to destroy his works in this world wrought What other World doth he work in that any out have sought When he his Messengers and Works are all cast in the fire What Works can he or they then do that any can desire 'T is also in this wicked World Gods Grace Salvation brings Teaching us worldly Lusts to shun and each ungoly thing And in this present world to live godly and soberly And to relieve in Righteousness the fatherless thereby The Widow likewise to visit this is Religion pure From the Worlds spots thus to keep clear the Devil can't endure And if all this you can't believe take your own evidence Of your own Doctrine the result and Catachistick sence Whereby this Truth it is confirm'd ' gainst all to be the same Where Children they are taught to say what 's promis'd in their name That the Devil and AL his works they must and will forsake And AL the Pomps and Vanities of this world leave to take And AL the sinful Lusts also of the Flesh which do rise ALL these they must be now forsook that did their hearts surprize And these not only to be left but they Gods Word must keep And his holy Commandements all their Life not in sleep This Christian Article of Faith they must fully believe Though they themselves their works destroy yet this to learn they give Oh is no here Babel built now anon pull'd down again This is the Dialect they speal of Sounds this is the strain Object But some may say For all this yet Paul in his flesh did feel A Prick Buffeting of Satan and this God did not heal Answ All this is true in his Warfare Pricks in the flesh he may And Buffetings of Satan to who sought him to destroy For when that ●e a Souldier was of Satan on his side He then with might did Persecute Christians could not abide And like his Master went about roaring for to devour And Letters had from the High Priest to take all in his Power And said himself He was e'en mad ' gainst all on God did call He went from house to house and did them unto Prison hall Now all this time there was no cause Satan should buffet Saul Till that he had his Champion lost and was convert to Paul And now who otherwise can think but Paul bufft'ed must be by his old Master that he serv'd now they do not agree Moreover must not Paul now have the measure he hid give And now the Wheel's upon him turn'd till the Lord him relieve So this no evil was in Paul nor ought that was unjust Though to the Lord he three times sought ' cause he did on him trust This seeking to the Lord did shew who had the power and might And that himself was but weakness 't was God must for him fight The Answer was he should not Fear sufficient was his Grace Him to defend and Courage give his Enemies to face He now must be a Souldier for his new Master t is right Therefore with Pricks and Buffets to his old Master doth fight Against him in temptation in raising of his mind To glory in the things he saw to which before he 's blind But by the Shield of Faith he did defend himself from evil And quenched hath the fiery darts cast at him from the Devil And Gods Light Armour on he put with the Sword of the Spirit The Helmet of Salvation to all 's Free here is no Merit So with this Armour and Weapon Paul did fight a good fight Against the Devil kept the Faith by Gods Pow-er and Might And by this Faith he did resist the Devil and made him fly And in this Faith the Victory got also a Crown thereby The which the Righteous God will give unto his Souldiers all That under this his Banner fight and on his Name do call So all may see that this was not an evil then in Paul But Souldiers marks of Jesus Christ the which we must bear all And his seeking thus unto God is as a sucking Child That seeketh for its Mothers Breast that is tender and mild And when the Child had suckt its
fill the Breast likewise is eas'd The Child then it is satisfi'd and Mother also pleas'd This figure God made use of when to Israel he did say Her Child can a Mother forget that sucks on her each day This is the Faith that sucks the Breast of Consolation By which the Just shall ever live if they feed thereupon For in the World we are but sent this plainly doth appear Which shews our Father is alive in whose House is our chear In which is Bread of Life enough and Mansions there are many So Prodigals must come thereto if they mean to have any And this may well observed be what doth the Father move No sooner sees his Son to come but RVNS to meet his Love Oh here is Love Love Love indeed Who can such Love er'e shun For when poor Souls begin to move the Father he doth RVN Yea not away but towards him as if it were a Bliss With arms spread out doth it receive and gives to it a Kiss And is not only here content with joy his House doth sound Because the dead is made alive his lost Son now is found And seemeth to be servile to beset with cares and fears Waiting for to be garcious on Israel forty years And when that we did wallow in the blood that was our own Vnsalted washt or pittied then was his strong Arm known Oh this was Gods own only Power that did Salvation bring Oh this was then a time of Love which makes us now to sing Salvation Glory and Power unto our God for ever Who is our present help at hand his Promise faild us never So all may see the ground-work then that solely doth us move In our affections to Love him ' cause first he did us Love For when that we ungodly were then he his own Son sent From sin and Satan us to free this was his true intent From Egypts darkness and Deaths bonds poor Souls he did set free This was Gods Love and the Sons Word in this both did agree This Truth also in many things illustrated may be That we no Independants are alone on God live we Though we as strong as Sampson were who the Philistines killd And heaps on heaps of them did bear yet he to Death must yeild Till the Lord cleave a hollow place where water did spring out In the same Jaw-bone of the Asse wherewith he made the Rout And when that he had drank thereof his Spirit came again And he revived also was though given himself as slain So of our selves no strength we have 't is in God we must hoast Who is our Captain Strength and Stay the only Lord of Hoasts Now by experience David may yet in Gods strength alone Declare how he by it had killd the great Philistian The Lyon Bear and through an Hoast gone by this strength he hath And he over a Wall hath lept that stood a cross his Path. This is the way that he did go and therefore Courage took ' Cause formerly God did him help and never him forsook Though then were some as there be now which unto him did say That in his God no help there was whereon his soul to stay This plainly then you now may see these cause mens hearts to faint Denying of Gods strength which he doth work in every Saint So putting them quite out of heart for ever to attain Over their hearts-lusts Victory or Ground on them to gain This Spirit you may also see in Israel of old Which did not the true Spies believe though they God Truth b● told For they the Sons of Anack feard that mighty were and tall So did not in Gods Power trust but fell a murmuring all And their false Spies to help forward their unbelief and spight Said They appear'd like Grashoppers in the Anakims sight None doubted then nor do they now but the Land it is good But how 't could then or now can be attaind the Question stood And notwithstanding God to them such Miracles did show And wonderfully brought them out of Egypt they did know Yet those false Spies did them perswade as Ministers do now Of Satan which do make a trade against God to avow That from their Masters Kingdom he poor Souls cannot set free Or that his Kingdom in this World diminished shall be Which is the cause of Vnbelief amongst us now at length But those that unto Sion come do grow from strength to strength And now as then the true Caleb do still the People tell The Land is good and to Conquer they able are full well And that the People should not fear unto them thus he sed Their Defence doth from them depart they are to us for Bread And that the Lord he was with them there was no cause to fear Yet they for all this did rebell for their words did not care For many false Spies still they had which brought an ill report So that the Congregation bad stone them with stones for 't Now if there be a Caleb that God follow fully will With other Spirit than they do they cry him stone or kill And yet for all this God will bring his Calebs to this Land They and their Seed shall it possess which to his Truth do stand Who do believe and so confess God by his Power can Bring his People out of Egypt to heavenly Canaan From this it may observed be The false spies they are many From which the ground of Vnbelief doth spring Truth scarce hath any Though in this work it is their share to suffer as men think Yet unto us it is our Joy of Christs own Cup to drink E'en as t was then so it is now Destructions way is wide And many follow in the same few from it turn aside These men that did Gods glory see and miracles also In Egypt and i' th Wilderness do tempt him ten times mo Than those that never yet did see Gods Power that 's Divine More tollerable it shall be for such who have no Sign These Miracles and Wonders great Advantages should be And in our hearts such Courage raise that we no fear should see This is the way David did go with confidence to Saul He took up Courage in his heart and told Israel all That in Gods strength a Lyon he had killed and a Bear And therefore this Physitian bold knew no such thing as Fear This Plea we ' gainst all those have that unto People preach Let God or man do what they can Man Canaan Land can't reach Something of the Cause of DARKNESSE IGNORANCE and PERSECUTION AS the dark Body of the Moon which in the Night is Light That it receiveth from the Sun by standing in its sight And then again by Reflection on us this Light doth cast While it thus governeth the Night no longer doth it last For when the Day-light doth appear it wan doth wax and fade ' Cause it retains no Life or Power nor hath it any Shade For that the brightness of
Death This is no Outward visible Sign not signified so But separates man from his Lusts that always stood his foe Thus in his flesh Christ he took up the Comforts of Mans Life And laid them down at Gods own Will to reconcile the Strife For God it was that was in Christ the World to reconcile Now in his stead Embassadors hath sent to us the vile Though 't was not him did the Offence but was the Offended Yet his Embassadors pray us to be re-con-ci-led Here 's Grace indeed not only free but doth a begging come And Messengers t' intreat the World to accept this Ransome The which none could lay down for it but He of 's own accord Did purchas 't with his precious Blood and so of right is Lord. Yet doth not use Commanding Power but Love is his own way And those that will not this shall Rule as Enemies he will slay But this last Baptisme doth set the True Baptismes on The answer of a good Conscience by Christs Resurrection For as Christs flesh it suffered the same mind we must have No longer in our sins to live which to our Soul 's a Grave But now the Gospel it is preacht the dead sleeper's awake Yea he is come to Judgement to God Life to him doth make For that he would no longer have our Souls in Prison lye But by his quickning Spirit preach and free-ed us thereby Who sometime disobedient were yet God did suffer long Waiting as in the dayes of Noa who griev'd his Spirit strong And now unto the Will of God he doth subjection give No more unto the Gentiles Will resolveth he to live This is that Tabernacle which down nere shall any take Nor Cord thereof shall broken be removd shall be no Stake For here the Glorious Lord will be Rivers and Streams whereon No Gally nor no gallant Ship at all shall pass upon For that mens Tacklings loosed are their strength at Ours doth fall They cannot well strengthen their Mast or spread abroad their Sail For t is the Lord that is our King and our Lawgiver to How can we then lack any thing for ought he bids us do Oh this also is Wisdoms Gate Why he you then so mad If ever that your Souls be sav'd to 's Church God must you add Wisdom cryed hath without and uttered voice in street Yea in the Market place she calls where Pharisees do greet In the chief Places of Concorse the opening of the Gate Yea in their great Assemblies to where multitudes were sate How long ye simple ones will ye love your simplicity Turn ye unto this Church that ye may eat and live thereby And Scorners Why do ye delight in this your scorning Trade You being Fools Knowledge do hate t is sin thus hath you made At Gods reproof if now you 'l turn he 'll pour on you his Spirit His words unto you he 'll make known that you may Life inherit But this much know if you refuse and do not him regard But do his Councel set at nought with this he 'll you reward For mocking he will mock again at your Calamity And laugh when as your fear doth come it 's desolation nigh Then you may call but God will now to answer give at all Because you did not answer him when he to you did call For you none of his Counsel would Reproof's you did despite And would not choose the Fear of God but hated Knowledge wise Therefore the fruit of your own way is meat for you to eat Your own devices you shall fill who shut out Wisdom great In Vs the Time is come to pass last dayes pro-phe-si-ed That the Mountain of the Lords House should be established And on the Top exalted is above all barren Hills And many People to us flow thus God his House now fills And we his People bid you come to this the Lords Mountain It is the House of Jacobs God t is he o're it doth Raign Here he doth teach us his own Way the Pathes that we should walk From out of Sion flowes that Law whereof we joy to talk This is the Word which God the Lord sends from Jerusalem That doth among the Nations Judge rebuking much of them So that they have their Swords now beat into Plow shares we see And their Spears into Pruning-Hooks this LOVE makes all agree So Nation doth not lift up Sword for Esau doth embrace His Brother Jacob in his Armes this makes War cease 'T is Grace So we with Isay bid you come to this house with accord Desiring you to walk with us in the Light of the Lord. We are the City on a Hill there set that all may see Therefore alwayes in Cottages still this we cannot be For that we are not to be hid but set there to be shown And that through the Power of God to others should be known Which is the Light the Christ in us the Hope of Glory to And doth cast out the Reprobate this work he is to do The Blind make see and Deaf to hear tho Mountebancks do rage Leapers are cleans'd Dumb do speak this throws them off the stage And this also is freely to we witness it truly And if that we should hold our peace stones would against us cry For what are we more then wrought stone 't is God that doth us raise To he the seed of Abraham for to shew forth his Praise Tho in the Wilderness we 're squard and now appear but loose Yet being brought together all we do make God a House Whereby the Workemans Worke is seen for that he hath them tryed And made them like the Corner-stone to answer every side Yea Judgement to the Plumet hangs and Righteousness to 'th Line For to make all upright and true according to his mine These living stones together set may plainly see each other The Mighty workmanship of God in Sister and in Brother Yea t is the Standard of the Lord the Ensigne he hath ser For all Nations to flock unto tho Small things day is yet And though that we be Quakers call'd by most people in scorn Yet we the true Assembly be and Church of the First-born For in our heart God he doth dwell whose Spirit is a Sword Which was the cause that we were made to tremble at his Word And when the Lord with Odours sweet doth this his own House fill Oh then all others that pass by its sweetness favour will And if that any Lydia come that is to God so dear Whose heart the Lord hath o-pen-ed she 'll feed upon our chear For in these publick Mountains God to all will make his Feast And Messengers to 'th high way send for to invite his Guests These are the Feasts of Charity made by the God of Love On Heavenly Manna here we feed which comes from God above We being many are one Bread of which we partake all And when we 'r hungry doth us feed both now and ever shall This also
the Sun with its most glorious beams In its large Womb hath swallowed up her pale and glimmering Streams By which he Body is made dark this all may plainly see And when it gets before the Sun then an Eclipse will be Yea this also may be minded because it is most clear The Sun is ne're Eclipsed but when th' Moon is in its Sphere And the Earths Body also is as dark as is the Moon For when it gets before the Sun the Moon 's Eclips'd full soon Thus Nature hath these outward Signs that in their Sphears do run For the Earths Body doth Eclipse the Moon and She the Sun These outward Signs of Heaven were discern'd by men of old Who yet the Mystery did not see being all led blind-fold Because the God of this World had their minds wholly blinded Lest that the Gospel-Light should shine and they by it be led And though the Hypocrites of old Heavens outward could discern Yet did not know true Bethlehem where Gods own Seed was born Of these Figures the Prophets did of old make use you see When they told where the World was set in mans heart there to be So he that to God is a Friend must have the World cast out From this same place where it is set else Truth it will not sprout And this the cause of the Eclipse that man comes not to know Neither beginning nor the end of him God doth not show The works that he at all times doth they being heavenly Because of this total Eclipse that on his heart doth lye So that the Moons dark Body 's of to us no use at all The Sun reflecting not thereon by the Earths Interval This made the Seers which of old with shame confounded were For they no Answer of God had because they Preacht for hire Yea for money they did Devine and Judged for reward Thus building up Sion with blood no sight had of the Lord. The dark Moon here is turnd to BLOOD tho it pretend to build The glorious Mountain of the Lord have hereby Saints blood spill'd And yet for all this seem to lean themselves upon the Lord As if no evil she had done but in heart did accord This hard-heart Earth was still the same of which the Lord so long Complain'd of in the Wilderness it grieved him so strong To day to day for forty years oh this was all the noise But their hard hearts they could not hear the sounding of his voyce This Earth this Lust this Will this Fesh they being of one nature Are those that keep the glorious beams from shining on the Creature But now the Day of God is come expel those Mists he will Which do his Sun-beams over-cast that shine would on his still For though a man have outward eyes be they never so clear Yet if that Night do him oretake he is little the neer And as it is in outward Earth this is the cause of Night Having a Body thick and gross its self hinders the Light This Judgement was on th' Prophets which with their keen Teeth did bite ' Gainst those that put not in their mouths in War prepare to fight Therefore Night should be unto them they shall no Vision have Not so much Light as to devine how they themselves may save And down o're them the Sun shall go are Prophets of that day Yea darkness shall oretake them all who make not God their stay They therefore shall cover their Lipps for tho they call and cry They shall no answer have from God ' cause in the earth they lye These were also the Belly-gods whose glory was their shame For that they Earthly things did mind and therefore were to blame And this likewise was that also which Demas did embrace Who for this present world did forsake both Truth and Grace These were the false Teachers of which Peter did so fore-tell Should Heresies damnable bring that swift destruction fell Upon them in their great glory for that they should deny The Lord Light Life that thus bought them so in dark Death shall lye Yea these are they through Avarice and fained words should make Merchandise of the People too this darkness they did take And following these pernitious wayes is the sole reason why Truths way is evil spoken off to th' Light they 'l not come nigh So this is Moon Eclips'd you see the Earth and the hard Heart And now before this Cloud be gone these things must feel the smart For that the World and things therein must all be burnt with fire And be removed from his place in the Day of Gods ire But what is that which doth Eclipse the Sun The Moon I 've said When it is turned into Blood then doth it the Sun shade And makes his Body to look black and shine as if it were For all its great and glorious beams but a Sack-cloth of hair This was the time that Joel did prophesie of and say When Sun was dark then Moon was blood this should precede Gods day And 't was fulfil'd when the sixth-Seal was opened for loe A mighty Earth-quake then was seen which many well do know For then the Stars of Heaven fell unto the Earth their place Because they were untimely Figgs they staid there but a space For by this mighty Wind and Storm which God among them sent He shook off what untimely was tho glorious things were ment And now the Earth not only doth but also Heavens shake Because Gods Day is at the door they tremble do and quake For this first Earth and Heaven too which Man could not sustain Are both together shaken now their Form doth not remain Therefore this Heaven departed is even as it were a Scrole For all their glorious fained words together when t is rowl'd And every Mountain and Island which glory in their graces Are by this Storm and mighty Wind remov'd out of their places And they that were Kings of the Earth Great and Rich Men also With chief Captains and mighty Men with Bond and Free-Men go And hide themselves within the Dens yea on the Mountains call And on the Rocks for to hide them or upon them to fall These are the Presbyterian Moon which in the Night was Light But when to Persecution fell then all was Blood and spight But now their Kingdom shaken is and they are made to quake Having their Measure measured back this makes their own hearts ak● This makes their Stars their mighty Men down from their heaven fall Rather than they will drink this Cup that is mixed with gall And so what Antichristian was in Way and Form before And Covenanted then against the same they now Adore Thus now their Valiant Captains do from Heaven daily slide Their Rich and mighty Men also in Rocks and Mountains hide From the Light Face of him that sits upon his Fathers Throne And from the Wrath of the Lamb which they often made to grone Object But some may now Object and
