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
