honourable place As man we may believe good in the main As Father by his fondness justly slain God gave him raynes but as is sadly shown Throwing them on the mad Colts necks he 's thrown His grace and bad-good nature long contended VVhen this o'recame it Tragically ended When Phineas pregnant Widow heard of all 19. Th' Arks loss her Fathers and her Husband fall She cry'd gone is our glory with our God 21. She dy'd and nam'd Posthumous * That is Where is the Glory Ichabod 22. The glory gone from Israel doth she cry Wast with the brethren in iniquity No though they rufftled if yet infamous Were they in life in death calamitous Or did old Elie's loss their glory dim Alas his glory's losts e're they lost him No no it was the Ark for it was there God's glory shone upon their Hemisphere She dy'd regardless of her Progeny Crush'd in the ruines of her Family Her breath shortn'd by death short'ns the story She breaths all in a word GONE IS OVR GLORY The Second Part. THE RECOVERY THe joll Philistins do homeward hie Ch. 5.1 With th' Ark a Trophee of their victory From † Ch. 7.1 Eben ezer other while 't is true A stone of help now none when God withdrew To Ashdod there their house of gods to stock 2. In Dagon's house they set it by their block The God of Israel does much abhor it In Dagons house Dagon must tumble for it For when they early came perhaps to see 3. How well the Ark and Dagon could agree They found their Idol faln before the place Where stood the Ark Dagon lay on his face Le ts turn our thoughts a while and view the damp Is cast upon their triumph see them stamp Tear their hairs beat their breasts perplext to see Their captive-present conqueror to be Le ts view the secret power and equity That moves the work of this Catastrophie The Ark was Gods appointment mans conceit Was Dagon and his worship but a cheat Humane inventions on the ground must lie Though shoulder'd up by power and policy If this be seen in a Philistian land ●zek 43.8 Can post by pillar in the Temple stand They set him up again and on the morrow 4. They find him down again more to their sorrow Without or head or hand there lay the lump Only to Dagon now was left the stump If one fair fall does not make them give o're Their Wrestlings with the Lord he 'l give them more The former down-fall gently did bespeak'em And warn them to submit the next will break ' em Therefore nor Priests nor Worshippers will tread 5. Upon the threshold where he lost his head And what is done for men of like conditions To cure them does augment their superstitions ●er 51.9 Thus Babylon will not be heal'd at all Therefore shall irrecoverably fall Without advising-head or helping-hand Was now their God but heavy on the Land The hand of Israel s God the Lord of hosts 6. Was upon Ashdod and on all its coasts With Emerods smote he them he so thinks fit While th' Ark's detain'd they shall not easy sit They may sow pillows cushions to be eas'd ●zek 13.20 But 't will not do while God remains displeas'd The men of Ashdod when they saw 't was so 7. When they perceiv'd the cause of all their wo They said let 's keep the Ark of God no more Whose hand on us and Dagon lies so sore The eyes of Dagonites are open'd who Discern for what they 're plagu'd and what to do Would others that have felt the hand of God Would learn of Philistines to hear the rod 8. They call their Lords their Law-givers to tell What should be done with th' Ark of Israel Who loath as yet to let it go consent Such was the wisdom of that Parliament To have it had about to Gath they 'l try Experiments if there 't wil quiet lye Thus were the Syrian privy Councellors wise 1 Kin. 20.22 When they their King so gravely did advise To try the Plain and promis'd him success When in the event they found it nothing less Nothing does more ' gainst men God's anger fix Then when they think to baffle him with tricks Their law is put in Execution 9. To Gath 't is carry'd see what comes thereon See if the laws of men will bear them out And justifie their tumbling it about A very sore destroying whipping-rod Of an avenging of an angry God With Emerods also did he smite them all Princes and People high low great and small Who share in sin must sorrows also share What state or quality soe're they are Whilst in their secret parts those Emerods be Th' afflicted felt what others could not see Much like the secret smarts and inward twinging Of seared hearts when they are further singeing The men of Gath thus wearied with 't would have it 10. To Ekron sent the Ekronites do wave it They would not have the stone so burthensome Zach. 12.3 Mat. 21.44 The builders breaking grinding stone to come Within their quarters for that they had seen it Hurtful to others they 'l not meddle in it They all cry'd out With us it shall not stay They 've brought the Ark to us that us will slay What if it do their Lords seem to reply Die Martyrs of our Laws your loyalty 'T is four to one the major part out-vote you If you obey not factious we must note you On t'other hand the Ekronites do seem For all this talk much otherwise to deem We think it neither faction nor treason T' appeal from you to common sense and reason If 't be a law repeal't there 's nought but need And make another better in its stead They congregate their Lords and them petition 11. Oh send it to its place with expedition For if it here with us do longer stay The hand of God will sweep us all away Many were dead the rest were sick the cry 12. Of all the City mounted to the sky The sky does Eccho 't back unto the ground And all their neighbours hear the doleful sound Sev'n months by them the Ark had been restrain'd 6.1 But if seven years with them 't had been detain'd What work would it have made sure at this rate Th 'ad all been gone and their land desolute And that it is not so in other places Where th' Ark's expos'd to manifold disgraces The appointed worship of the Lord forbidden And many of his useful talents hidden Where the Ark and Samuel are separated That such a people are not desolated It only can ascribed be to this That God long suffering and patient is Priests and Diviners next to Convocation 2. To save the remnant of a ruin'd Nation Are call'd and ask'd How shall we do we pray In sending of this Ark of God away We cannot keep it longer needs must send it Tell us
