too much liv'd in An Age so strange in which some strangely deem None can be Loyal Temperance esteem Temperance seems as banish'd from our Land While Healths and Huzza's in repute do stand Temperance yet good Men will highly prize It always was much valu'd by the Wise Because it leads in Ways preserveth Health Ought more to be prefer'd than earthly Pelf The Contrary great Ill Convenience brings Most of Diseases from Intemperance springs Extreams Excess in Meat and Drink anoy They hurt the Mind and Body do destroy Therefore the best Advice that I can give Is Abstinence not too much to receive More are destroy'd by Superfluity And dye than those through Want and Penury Besides the Sin is great men can't enjoy Gods Mercies and his Blessings but destroy And spend the Creatures on their sinful Lust Offending God provoking of the Just To bring their Heads down low unto the Dust IF Health and Happiness thou wilt obtain From Costly Food Rich Dainties then refrain If Health and Happiness thou highly prise Not many Dishes use Two may suffise For many sorts of Food not well agrees Hinders Digestion and breeds Crudities The first Concoction then if not made well The next can't mend it as Physitians tell The meaner Food and simple Diet plain The Bodies health most bravely doth maintain An Healthful Body and a Quiet Mind Amongst the Epicures who can them find What Health or Strength or Peace or Quietness Can those enjoy live daily in Excess If happiness in Health a man may find Surely much happiness in clean Mind A Man whose Mind is Holy Humble Pure A Treasure hath that alwayes will endure God gives his Creatures unto Man to use But Gods good Creatures many do abuse And on their sinful Lusts do spend the same Him they dishonour and blaspheme his Name Concerning the Cross of Christ THe Cross of Christ the Power of God The Enmity doth slay And bring the Soul from Death to Life From Darkness to Lights Day The Cross of Christ the Power of God O're Hell Gates doth prevail Whoever in the same doth trust To help it ne're doth fail The Cross of Christ the Power of God To Iews a Stumbling-Block Unto Believers precious is Elect their only Rock The Cross of Christ the Power of God To Greecians Foolishness They after earthly Wisdom seek But Folly do posses He that doth not take up Christs Cross And bear it willingly Cannot be Christs Disciple till Hunself he doth deny The Cross of Christ preserves from Sin And all who with it dwell Are ransomed from Death and the Grave And all the Powers of Hell True Christians love the Cross of Christ And highly prize the same They greatly do rejoyce therein To suffer for Christs Name Concerning the Soul's Travait after the Knowledge of the Right Way THere was a time in days by past When in my tender Years I greatly cry'd unto the Lord To free me from my Fears My Fears and Doubts and Questionings Which greatly did attend Lest that I should miss of that Way Leads to an happy End That Way in which the Lord alone To serve I might be sure That Way in which he 's worshipped By such whose hearts are pure Who do the Face of God behold And see his Glory great This was the thing I more long'd for Then for my natural Meat Then as I cry'd and sought the Lord The Right Way for to know The Lord was pleas'd in his due time The same to me to show But whilst among the Watch-men of The Night I did enquire The Way and my Beloved seek Whom my Soul did desire I could not find the Way nor yet See my Belovod dear Till past blind Guides and Watch-men of The Night I was got clear One cry'd lo here and one lo there One that 's the Way one this So I still here was in great fear Lest Right Way I should miss For all their Sounds Vncertain were Their Trumpets did not blow So as to give a certain Sound And Right Way for to show For all their Sounds and Cryes and Calls Were unto things without Wherein no Certainty was found For to resolve my doubt Then I remembr'd Christ foretold When some lo here shall say And some lo there then go not forth After them in their Way For Heavens Kingdom is within And who the Way will find Which unto Rest and Peace doth lead Turn Inward must his mind For what is to be known of God Within is manifest And till the Mind be Inward turn'd None finds the way to Rest For till unto the Light within And gift of Gods Grace free The Mind and Heart of man be turn'd The Right Way he cannot see Therefore the great concern of all Who after God doth seek And long to know his Way and Truth Is to be low and meek For those who Meek and Humble are The Lord will teach his Ways And raise them up by his great Power For to shew forth his Praise And as the Lord in mercy did To me his Truth reveal So I will publish loud the same And not the Truth conceal Because I know the living God Would all the Truth should know And none perish for want thereof Nor to Destruction go For God that did all Nations make Of one Blood for to dwell Upon the face of the whole Earth Wills None should go to Hell He made not man to be destroy'd But for a better end Namely to serve and worship him And on him to depend The purpose of Almighty God Was man might glorifie And honour his Creator great To all Eternity And not live unto himself Nor Satan serve in Sin With Lust o' th' flesh or Lust o' th' eye Nor Pride of Life live in For Such things they are not of God But of the wicked World And all that from them ben't Redeem'd Must into th' Pit be hurl'd Now to the end that all Mankind Might answer Gods designe He his good Spirit freely gives And those to it incline Their Ears and hearken what it saith And do the same obey Be sure therein they cannot Err Nor miss Gods Perfect Way The Way of Light the Way wherein The just men all did go The Way of Life the Way of Truth The right Way all do know Who walk therein it is the Way That leads to Peace and Rest The Just Mans Path a shining Light All walk therein are blest This is the Path Avel trod in And Abraham also Our Fathers Isaat and Iacob In this same way did go It is a way the Vulters Eye Can't see no Ravenous Bea st Can tread or set a foot therein Nay nor no Hireling Priest It is a way for Ransom'd Ones From the Earth are Redeem'd Those walk therein are lov'd of God Though by men dis-esteem'd Blest be the time in which this way And day Light did appear Which leads to God out of all Sin And frees from slavish Fear And frees from Wrath and Vengeance sore For

Evil Deeds is due Which is the Portion o' th' Vnjust The Scriptures plainly shew Blest be the time in which this way And Truth and Light did shine To th' satisfaction of my Soul That for the same did pine I hungred after Bread of Life And ●●●●ited for Drink sore That Bread and Drink which who receive Ne're hunger nor thirst more That is to say for other Food Or other Drink but still They daily pray unto the Lord Thereof to have their fill For they that hunger and do thirst For Righteousness most pure Are blest of God and shall receive Mercies that will endure And now the goodness of the Lord In making known his Way And gathering out of the by-paths Where many go astray And feeding of my hungry Soul With Bread and Peace and Rest Doth me constrain still to declare His Name forever blest Who has done more for my poor Soul Then I could ask or think 'T is said in times of Ignorance By past the Lord did wink But now the Lord to all men calls Repentance for to make And from their sinful ways return Or else go into th' Lake 'T is not he that Lord Lord shall say But he that doth Gods Will And through great Tribulations goes Shall stand on Zions Hill With Harps in hands singing aloud Praises to God most High Such they love not their Lives to Death But for the Truth can dye And those that can dye for the Truth And sor Truth lose their All They are the Sons of the most High And have obey'd his Call They are a chosen People and A Generation pure A Royal Priesthood unto God That shall for aye endure Concerning the breaking forth of the Word and Power of God WHen God appeared in his Power In his great Love and Light And to the Sons of men made bare His glorious Arm of Might When by his Word he brake their Hearts Which hardned were by Sin And clear'd their Understandings dark By Light shining within Then did they feel and see and know And understand aright That all the works which they had wrought Were but toiling i' th' Night Though they did read and pray and preach And frequently attend Duties and Exercise so call'd From Weeks end to Weeks end Yet being err'd in mind from that Which is the ground wherein All Sacrifice accepted is Which from the same doth spring To wit the Spirit of the Lord And gift of his free Grace Without the which none can approach To God nor see his Face What e're such said or thought or did It sinful was and vain Their Offerings did no more please God Than if a Dog were slain And when by Light and Truth and Grace These things were understood Then from Self-acting they did cease For that could do no good And into Silence they were brought On God alone to wait That in that Way they now might go Which Narrow is and Straight And in those pleasant Rivers swim Where no Galley with Oars Nor gallent Ship can pass thereby I' th' Channel nor near Shores Where Self no Reputation hath But Man's Will must be slain And all the Clory of proud flesh Into the Dust be lain Where all Flesh must be silenced And Death not dare to speak No Woman in Transgression here Nor Man i' th' Fall so weak But only they whose Hearts the Lord Prepares whose Tongues also The Lord hath touch't with a live Coal None else his Praise can show And till the Lord doth touch their Hearts And open their Mouthes wide In pure Retiredness they wait In silence they abide And when in silence they do wait And on the Lord attend To do what he commandeth them And go where he doth send They do not Speak until they feel His Word which is a Fire Within their Breast to burn as they To him their Minds retire Some then offended are hereat When they thus on God wait And say no Profit can be known In such a Silent state VVhat benefit can be say some VVhen none do Preach nor Pray But Dumb and Silent do remain It may be all the Day Thus they who call their Tongues their own Too much can Prate and Talk And gird themselves do as they list And where they please will walk But such as know the Lord to gird And lead them in that Way In which they would not go when they Formerly went astray They dare not Speak their own words then Their Tongues are not their own That Member so unruly was A Taming time has known Then as the work of God is wrought Upon the Heart within And Tongue is tam'd by that great Power Which frees the Soul from Sin Such they can open wide their Mouthes Gods VVorks for to declare And what they meet with for the same Inabled are to bear For they are past the Fear of man The Lord alone they fear And preach the Gospel 〈◊〉 that all The 〈◊〉 thereof may hear Inst ant in Season they are found And out of Season too Alway in readiness the VVill And Work of God to do And if by some they are for bid Thus to Preach in Christs Name More bold and more couragiously They do declare the Same The more the Truth opposed is The more the Truth doth thrive Like Camemile the more opprest The more it doth revive Truth may be blam'd cannot be shamed Truth stronger is than all And all that dwell therein shall stand When Babylon shall fall Mistery Babylon the great Mother of Harlots she Like to a Mill-stone shall be thrown And cast into the Sea Concerning Gods Powerful and Glorious Presence THe Presence of the Living God And working of his Power Doth rend the Rocks and scatter Clouds His Name is a strong Tower To which the Righteous fly apace And there in safety dwell It also precious Oyntment is The Virgins wise can tell The Presence of the Living God Is comfortable and Great Pleasures are forever more Enjoy'd at his Right-hand In his pure Presence there is Life And Peace and Joy and Rest And those that do not know the Same What they enjoy e'nt blest The Hills flow down the Mountains move The Earth doth reell and shake At the great Presence of the Lord Who all the World did make Therefore the Presence of the Lord From it where can man fly If he descend into the Deep Or mount up to the Sky Or do the Wings o' th' Morning take And to the Earth's end go The Presence of the Lord is there Man's Thoughts to him to show The Lord the mighty God of Hosts For so is call'd his Name Who did the Mountains form the Winds Create and all things frame The Upright in his Presence dwell And thanks to him do give For Mercies that from time to time From him they do receive But those that walk in sinful ways And in Uncleanness dwell Shall from the Presence of the Lord Be driven into Hell Concerning Maintenance for the Poor IN antient days as
