B02404	A song for this sad times; composed by one of the now many wanderers, when much separated from the society of men, and somewhat incommodat for other works to divert him from vain ravings, and for to humble and recreat his own spirit. / By Mr. Jo. Castairs, Minister of the Gospel at Glasgow, when under imprisonment.	Carstairs, John, fl. 1646-1660.	1691 (1691)	Wing C647; ESTC R170904	13,168	34

is here which now your eyes behold 152. As swallowed up in this great gulf words blushing will retire And thoughts tho schrew'd up to the height will then stand and admire 153. Nor so to speak the object will swel'd to such bigness be That compast by conceptions armes unabled be will we 154. In summ there we 'll not sin nor be tempted to sin at all But as his servants do him serve so we then serve him shall 155. In our fore-heads most lively then shall His Name written be Like unto him we shall be made and as he is him see 156. Then to believe and wonder none will need us to exhort That fight will ravish us and as in extasie transport 157. O! but the lively hope of this strong influence should have Though men in Eden dwelt to make us long this world to have 158. Much more this blest and glorious hope would have a mighty stroak On the supportance of our sprits in this destress and choak 159. This losse of life and moveables with forfaults of estates This losse of money out in bonds with gifts made of escheats 160. This losse of dear relations all Let be a whiles divorce By tossings wanderings flights exiles or what then these were worse 161. Would make to be comported with for sweet Christ Jesus sake For whom we 're bound without refer even all things to forsake 162. For him I say who did for us come down from heavenly Throne And as a worm and not a Man did creep his foot-stool on 163. His entrance first into the world was all its pomp without To justice as our surety then he very low did lout 164. For when to Bethlem Joseph goes with 's Mother they 're not able A room to purchase in the Inn but they must to the stable 165. Where that blest Child she forth did bring and with her hands him swadle And in a manger did him lay having no better cradle 166. Of 's birth the first news came not to Kings Nobles Men of might But to poor Sheepherds who were there watching their flocks by night 167. And to this day few worldly wise Noble or Great he calls But for the most part the best lot to meanner ones still falls 168. His Kingdom comes not with great shew but glorious makes within It s now and will be yet as it from its first rise hath been 169. Though we in great winds earthquakes fire would have him come with noise Yet oft he is in none of these but in the still small voice 170. Though we I say would often have him come the higher way Yet in the lower he delights himself much to convoy 171. In 's Infamy to save his life to Egypt they 're made flee And for his sake all Bethlems Babes King Herod made slain be 172. CHRIST's Kingdom is too oft suspect as no great friend to Kings Which many of them at the length of persecution brings 173. And this again doth him provoke to plague sore these great ones And if they turn not at the last to overturn their thrones 174. For with thrones of iniquity by law mischief that frame No fellowship he 'l have but will as mortar tread the same 175. To loose the bonds of mighty Kings for him 's no great attempt And on the Princes of the Earth to pour shame and contempt 178. Nay he the Sp'rits of Princes great cuts off most easily And to the Kings that be on Earth most terrible is he 179. For of the Lords he is the LORD and of all Kings the KING When they 're unking'd he 'l gloriously before his Ancients reign 180. O! that Earths Kings to this great KING would all once homage pay And kiss the Son least in his wrath they perish from the way 181. Though great Law-giver yet he was made subject to the Law And of his Parents which he made when young he stood in aw 182. O strange the everlasting Father a Child and Youth to see And the great Potter unto clay stooping so rev'rently 183. With him to worship when twelve Years he to Jerusalem went Betimes to shew to keep the Law he in the World was sent 184. And that by going when so young for that end to the Temple GOD soon to worship young ones might be taught by his example 185. Thereby withal right early he GODS Majesty attones For our neglect of worship when we were yet younger ones 186. Once with the Docters then and there most gravely reason'd he That of 's Prophetick office they might have a preludie 187. And that a Child might teach to Men How to manage debates And in all these might purge the sin of their distempring heates 288. But what was done by him besides throughout whole thirty Years Wherein he lurk'd and liv'd obscure nothing in writ appears 189. Unless it be that though he made the World and it adorn'd Yet as a Carpenter to Work With 's hands he nothing scorn'd 190. That Lawful Callings He thereby might to us sanctifie And us provoke to some of these GOD still to Glorifie 191. And further more that guilt contract by us from Day to Day In all our Lawful Callings might be taken clean away 192. And these some four Years that to Preach he publickly appear'd He made no noise into the streets his cry was ever heard 193. When doing greatest things how oft Tell no man then said he Though when the least are done by us tell all men cry do we 194. O! here to him we 're most unlike who love so much the street And in our way to heaven do make so greatnoise with their feet 195. One grace alace we love to have by mens aplause sun shin'd And hence it comes to pass that it s so withered dry'd and cryn'd 196. It also may be one great cause that faith hath now such doubting That Christians of this have lov'd to be so much in outing 197. Did he not once who could not err say how can ye beleive Who in the air of mutual praise do love so much to live 198. And sure as no true faith can be where reigneth this great ill So where that is prevails the soul with great doubts it doth fill 199. O! When religion outrings all to have once we shall win As meer constrain'd results of grace in life and power within 200. Hereby this patern blest we would resemble very near who lov'd allwayes to hide but when He forc'd was to appear 201. A longs his life for 's people he of sorrows was a man To make aquaintance eke with him sad grief betimes began 202. We read not he ever laugh'd but of the weept and groan'd Mens sins and their calamities is most sadly bemoan'd 203. Him had you seen ye would have said this in his face appears Who though but thirty four yet look'd like one of fifty years 204. His visage more then sons of men so very much was marr'd We hid as 't were our face from
