A51265	The cry of blood and of a broken covenant written out at first upon the sad relation of our late Soveraignes most treacherous and inhumane murther : most humbly dedicated and then proposed to have been published and presented to the Kings most excellent Majestie if so Providence had dispensed, and now, how late soever, all obstructions being removed, adventured upon His Majesties gracious acceptance and favor of all herein concerned to remain at least as a standing testamonie to posteritie, of the authors conceived sense of duety, in conscience to God and alleagiance to lawfull soveraignty / by Sir William Moore ...	Mure, William, Sir, 1594-1657.	1650 (1650)	Wing M2610; ESTC R9515	17,686	28

for from forraigne parts As troubled at our stroake and by our wound Of Christian Kings the veynes all opened found Or dare not JUDAH war with EDOM wage Till EPHRAIM not at one with GOD engadge Till ISRAEL Arme which ordered to depart By this conjunction AMAZIAHS heart Made haughty and lift'd up turnd discontent And JUDAH'S Cities spoiling as they went Shed blood at will and did no outrage spare That now-a-dayes the basest villaines dare But what These gone did EDOM gaine the day Was JUDAH'S King delivered as a prey For want of pow'r No Hee who stay'd the Sun On Gibeon and in Ajalon the Moone Till on his foes aveng'd by JUDAH'S hand A victory most glorious did command For JUDAH'S host But grief doth heer arest My trembling hand appal'd to write the rest To EDOMS idols didst thou turn aside Wretch'd JUDAH while their spoiles thou didst divide O Yes from Truth there shamefully thou fell And justly turn'd thy back to Israel Which made thy Rod thy ruine quickly wrought Thy King to Perish by the People brought GOD only wise your heart with Counsell fill That quitting of your selves like men of skill Fast what ye have ye hold lest all cast down Built heer-to-fore ye lose a glorious Crown But leaving all on Him in more and lesse Whose eye must guide you Now our Kings distresse The cry of blood shed by a murthering hand The infamy of a despised Land The fowlest of affronts Call yea conjure All ranks by all the Tyes known to secure Religion publike Interests private Rights 'Gainst open force and undermining slights If Piety Compassion if the sense Of deepest wrong have weight or influence On loyall Scottish hearts in sight of Heaven Your just resentment and offence made eaven As instruments of God joine heart and hand To raise the Glory of this slighted Land Men calling to account by whom is shed The blood that brethren hath unbrothered The Taske in hand suppone the hazard great Yet neither ease nor cure are desperate Faith to improve the Oath of God you tyes Whose proof of Mercies mercy yet implyes Unto Beleevers fears who dare out-face And footsteps of preceeding paths can trace Your wayes on him devolve sure he will do To fight who taught your fingers hitherto Frogs Flyes Dry bones Hee ere ye Armies want Shall for you Arme the Arme of flesh to daunt Let Colours fly Drums beat Gird on your swords Arme Gallants Arme The Battell is the Lords For the Commanders in chief and faithfull Souldiery YE Men of Valour honorably bred At armes Whose Glory deeply Registred Stands to succeeding Times as men of Trust Integrity and tendernes in Just Defence of Truth King Country Covenant GOD calls anew Behold he will not want Your Testimony Never grounds more clear For Noble action did then now appear Have guarded been your hearts your hands kept clean In SCOTLANDS late Eclipse how clear is seen In this GODS speciall hand While not the least In quality and number were possest Of a Malignant Spirit did ye stand Free of Compliance Order or Command Destructive to his Cause and closely kept At your first Principles The hand that heapt Upon them shame did fixe you in your spheare That yet his Standart ye on high might reare How calme a Peace what quietnesse of minde I ask enjoy ye if a tongue can finde Words sutable whom frown nor favours smile Nor Hopes nor Honours from the fatall Isle Whence were reviv'd our woes Preferment Place And Pension proof enduc't not charge t' embrace Saints blood to shed while witnesse to their zeal To some death sign'd a passe and some a seal Bare hence best suteing base Malignancy Men whom unsound diseased Times did try But heark a voice past whispring in the ear Calls for your vindication how ye clear Your Rendring in the powre of Armed bands Your Rendred Prince while pow'r was in your hands But as profest protested and declard Yea publick faith empaund who have not heard How not a shew pretended of intent Save for a Treaty with the Parliament To serve his Royall Person for a guard Yet of base acts they not the basest spar'd Could serve their ends And what the consequence Had heer produc't if by your conduct hence He should have hither turn'd while broiles and blood Effects of factions and of tumults rude The Land did fill who lay aright to heart Yea while his resolution not to part With principles exprest by him a Tye Which Life and Crownes engadg't for Prelacy And book of Pray'r so solemnly abjur'd While this His minde his Majestie assur'd Who could have heer comply'd Who save these men Our Peace-disturbers should have said Amen How both within and from without renu'd Had not a bloody dispute thence ensu'd Us Conscience of our League keep 't firme If they Prevaricating wickedly did stray From Honour Duty Faith then Grounds how Just Thus offer how this doubt may be discust How best your candour and ingenuous way May as the Sun appear at the Noon-day Endeavouring in due time to Right a wrong Which heavens though men should passe shall judge ere long A broken Covenant base perjury All with their sin who stick not to comply Call to make ready and for God to rise For King and Country lookt on as a prise By men of bloods Thus shall fowl mouths be closde Your streight proceedings to reproach disposde Thus SCOTLANDS glory grow and thus made known That Gedeons hundreds heer our God will own Lead forth and fit when he the word shall give For him to Act dead hearts who can revive Even prompt your hands and Spirits for these ends On which the Generall Happinesse depends The Prince and People acting one in heart In Will and Counsell each a gallant part Engadg'd in God on which condition closde Our Noble undertakings are supposde That all o●structions from the way remov'd By uniforme consent may be approv'd Let Colours fly Drums beat Gird on your swords Arme Gallants Arme The Battell is the Lords For the People and Commonalty GODS precious People Commons of the Land Religions forward friends with Life in hand For Christ who have adventred meerly driven By reason of his Right and Title given To earths remotest ends by whom enclinde This Generation seriously did minde Their Intrest in the Promises to owne By Gospell Light made to Beleevers known Held forth unto the Church from whence to heart Was lay'd in speciall duty on our part For Christ King Country into Covenant To enter and rich successe ne'er did want While honestly in Men and Angels view We jointly moving did joint ends pursue And now while after so much bloods expense Cost Paines and Prayers in our Just Defence Our hopes were far advanc'd Behold the way Obstructed is anew Ludibrious Clay Dare craule on borrowed legg's and Heaven defy The Son of God take on its top and try His work to overturne Himself dethrone
