Sanctification Eph. 5.14 Chap 4.17 18. AWaken thou that sleep'st in sin and stand up from the dead And Christ shall let his light break in whereby thou shalt be led Then walk not as some Gentiles walk in vanity of mind Estranged from the life of God because their hearts were blind 19 20 21. Who being past the sense of sin let loose to all excess Of wanton and unclean desires and that with greediness But ye have not so learned Christ if ye by him were taught And as the truth in Jesus is have learnt him as ye ought 22.

Secret reveal'd 1 Cor. 2.7 8 14. GOD's wisedom in a mystery we speak to perfect men But not the wisedom of this world nor what is known to them For man while merely natural receives not what we press The things of God spiritual he counteth foolishness Prov. 24.7 Mark 4.11 Too hard for him to know or learn for natural men too high And such as nothing can discern but a spiritual eye But unto you dear Saints it is touching the things of heaven To know that Kingdom 's Mysteries to them it is not given 2 PART John 1.18 No man hath seen Almighty God since first the world began He that in heaven hath blest abode declar'd him unto man The onely and begotten Son of God the Holy One Did from the Fathers bosome come to make this Doctrine known John 3.32 Jude 25. Attesting what he saw and heard yet faith appear'd in few But whosoever believes his Word hath seal'd that God is true To God our Saviour onely wise be all the praise therefore Dominions Thrones and Dignities Amen for evermore HYMN 183. Secrets unreveal'd Rom. 12.3 Deut. 29 29. BE wise unto sobriety as God hath given faith And dealt to each man diversly the measure that he hath The secret things that are decreed belong to God alone But to our selves and to our seed the things that are made known 1 Tim. 6.17 Now to the blessed Prince of might the chief of Kings and Lords Who onely dwells in endless light which no access affords Whom no man can behold and see nor ever did see yet To him all praise and glory be for ever so be it HYMN 184.

And shall not the most High avenge his own Elect Which night and day do câ—y and pray to that effect Though he bear long I tell you he will speedily avenge their wrong Rom. 8.36 Psal. 44.23 24. But we are killed thus all day for thy dear sake As sheep they count of us which they for slaughter take O God arise Why dost thou yet our griefs forgeâ— and our sad cries 2 Thes. 1.6 7. But with the Lord ye know the thing is just and due To render wrath and woe to them that trouble you But ye that thus Afflicted are shall surely share sweet peace with us 8.

Strait Gate Mat. 7.13 14. O Enter at the narrow Gate for wide is that of sin And broad the way that leads astray and many go therein Because the Gate to life is strait and all the way thereto Is as I say a narrow way and they that find it few Luke 13 24 30. Strive then to hit the narrow Gate the right way to attain For not a few I say to you shall seek and seek in vain And there are first that prove the worst and last that first prepare For in this world are many call'd but few elected are HYMN 187. Suffering and Self-denial Mat 10.34 21. THink not saith Christ that I am come to send all peace on earth But through malicious minds of some a Sword must I send forth The Father shall the Son betray the Daughter her own Mother Brethren shall Brethren seek to slay set one against another 26 30 28. Yet fear not men in these affairs nor have them in such dread For God hath numbred all the hairs that grow upon your head Who kill the body fear not them that then no more can do But him that can to Hell condemn both soul and body too 2. PART Mat. 10.39 38. Luke 14.27 33. He that doth find his life shall be at loss of it thereby And he that loseth it for me shall find it gainfully And he that leaves not all to loss to follow after me Nor for my sake takes up his Cross my follower cannot be Mark 10.29 30. But whoso laies down all at stake forsaking Friends and Lands For me and for my Gospel sake to follow my commands An hundred fold shall he regain although with persecution And afterwards a life obtain that fears no dissolution HYMN 188. Temptations succoured Heb. 4 15. SUCH an High Priest we have not now as is not touch'd at all With sense of such infirmities as on his Saints do fall But suffered such temptations as we our selves fall in And was in all points like to us but yet excepting sin Chap. 2.18 1 Cor. 12.13 Isa. 40.31 In suffering such temptations the tempted he can aid And no temptation taketh you But what on Saints is laid But God is faithfull verily who will not suffer you To be assail'd above the strength which ye shall still renew But will in all temptations provide and order so That ye may have a way to scape and strength to undergo HYMN 189. The Tree good Prov. 21.27 Mat. 7.16 18. THE sacrifice of wicked men is hatefull to the Lord And offred with a wicked mind is then much more abhor'd For figs of thistles cannot grow nor grapes of thorns be had A bad tree cannot bear good fruit nor yet a good tree bad Chap. 12.35 33. From the good treasure of the heart good men bring forth good things And from the evil treasury bad fruit the bad man brings Now therefore let the tree be good the fruit will then be so And make the tree an evil one the fruit the same will show 3.10 And now 's the Ax laid to the root and therefore every tree That brings not forth good wholsome fruit cut down for fire shall be HYMN 190. Trinity 1 Joh. 1.7 Joh. 6.57 Luke 11.13 THree witnesses there are above and all these three are one The Father Son and sacred Dove one Deity alone The living Father sent the Son who by the Father lives And unto them that ask of him the Holy Ghost

Vessels to honour 2 Tim. 2.19 Mat. 22.14 Eph. 5.3 THE Lord's foundation stedfast is having this seal thereto The Lord well knoweth who are his and they are but a few Therefore let all unanimously that name Christ's Holy Name Depart from all iniquity which is to Saints a shame But in a great House are at once Vessels as seemeth good Not onely Gold and Silver ones but likewise Earth and Wood.

But foolish Questions still avoid And Genealogies of pride And vain contentions of the Law Which from the Ways of Truth withdraw An Heretick of any SECT When twice admonisht soon reject Knowing such are subverted quite And sin against their inward light And shun the Words that are prophane And bablings which are all in vain For they will grow to more excess Of error and ungodliness Beware therefore lest led aside By wicked errors wandring wide And leaving truth which ye profess Ye fall from your own stedfastness But have a care to grow a pace To grow in knowledge and in grace Knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord Whose Name we praise with one accord HYMN 286.
