That out of darknesse never more should peep But Jonah like that lay within the Whale Until commanded by a gentle gale To bring him forth and lay him on the shore Thus was he saved Why may not I therefore Expect Deliverance from the self same hand That Jonah saved and brought him safe to Land He is the same in every sort and kind A God that fails not when it is his mind 'T is he alone that hath good balm in store To cure all wounds if they be never so sore Though they be mortal his immortal hand Can with one touch make mortals well to stand Oh this is he that I must onely have To raise the immortal from the mortal grave I l'e seek no more I have the Physick found And the Physician that can cure my wound I will abandon every friend and foe For any Physick but will to him go First written about the latter end of the 2. month or the beginning of the 3. 1661. A few lines from the Author to his Wife in the Country testifying the manner and nature of his love springing up in him towards her about the beginning of the 2. month 1661. that had been vailed many years BEhold my love got through the thickest cloud To shew it self in line and language loud Thine ear thine eye let both be opened clear That the sweet voice of true love may draw near Behold all clouds are vanishing apace That my true love may shew its comely face It hath been hid and covered many a day But now is cloathed with the sons aray It s beautious beams let thy pure eye behold Be warm'd therewith 't wil keep thee safe from cold Be fed also with pleasure and delight Yet surfeit not lest thou shouldst lose the sight Be moderate 't wil give thee sweet content This is true love which God alone hath sent For to refresh thy fainting soul at last When thou wert hopelesse evermore to tast Of this thy long-desired heavenly blisse Behold at last it comes and gives thee a kisse This love is not of any earthly kind Though in the earth not of an earthly mind It s from above and dwelleth in true light Pleasing to God all-pleasing in his sight Receive therefore thy lot from God alone Who did give ear unto thy sighs and moan Sink down full low in true humilitie Before the Lord that brought this love to thee 'T is he alone that doth deserve the praise Of all that 's done to him be it alwaies These ensuing lines were writ upon her Answer to the former but never yet sent BEhold the love that lately did thee greet Doth once again send salutations sweet Since that my former lines have made thee bold Yet speaks once more unto thine eye behold And to thine ear do thou attend and hear My true loves voice as it shall now appear Behold my Turtle thou hast found thy mate And it finds thee so prettily to prate Of precious love so pleasing to its ear So harmlesly that it cannot forbear To praise thy Teacher for thy pleasant voice And beg that he may teach him to rejoyce As doth become a heart admiring one That is the Fountain of true love alone From whence my love hath all its rise and springs From thence it streams unto all precious things What though the seasons formerly were sad Whilst that my love in dismal clouds was clad And did displease the sight that often sought With wearied pains and many combat sought To seek the presence of its just desire Yet still by death was forced to retire If for a moment that it did appear Dark gloominess would hasten to draw near And overcast the goodnesse it did shew In doleful-wise as if it never knew That ought proceeded from its good and right Thus was my love vail'd in a sad dark night But now behold the dawning of the day Saith that all clouds must vanish quite away And all the darknesse that dark night once brought Shal not be found though ne'r so closely sought The morning Star most brightly doth appear By that we know the morning's very near Then comes the day that all the nights expel With their black clouds that were as dark as hel Then shal the Sun in its ful lustre shine With a transcendent glory all divine Where thy true love wil manifest its fame Its vertue worth its glory and its name Its nature right it shal discover soon That thou wilt need no other heavenly boon It wil so fully to thy soul present All satisfaction to thine own content Then nought remains for thee but lay thy head Upon his brest to feed and to be fed His arms of love shal sweetly thee embrace Behold his eye his cheek his comely face They are all for thee prepared and kept in store Feed thou hereon what can thy heart have more This thou shalt reap this sure shall be thy gain Thy patient waiting shall not be in vain The Authors Prayer to God to be delivered out of outward troubles which depended upon the judgement and determination of the Committee and Commissioners of Excise who have detained him many Daies and Months to wait on them and yet refuse to do him justice THou canst alone O Lord my cause right plead And all my Judges unto justice lead Their understanding open give them light That they may see the way to doe me right Let not their wills be wilful to give law But rectifi't and make them stand in awe Of thee that act a Judge most just to all Before whose Seat thou wilt each of them call Where they 'l have justice with impartial hand Without respect to persons or command Infuse thou this into their hearts with sence Of thy great power and magnificence That from those thoughts they may enclined be To doe me right and that right willingly Oh Lord appear that thy pure presence may Plead firm my cause in every word I say Oh let thy power in its naked strength If they resist confound them all at length Make each with shame from folly to retire And all at last grant me my just desire That when thou hast performed my request Thou maiest for ever of my soul be blest And magnified as my true God alone Who hast regard to each right sigh and grone Some fruits of the Tree of Life
