Gen. 3.8 AND God did plant his Garden trees East-ward in Eden full of these All that was pleasant to the sight And good for food or for delight And into Eden thus adorn'd He brought the man whom he had form'd And made all Paradise his seat To dress it and to keep it neat The tree of Life of greatest price Was in the midst of Paradise And there the Tree of Knowledge stood Knowledge of evil and of good And God did bring each Bird and Beast Even from the greatest to the least For Man to name and by his Word Was named every Beast and Bird. Let Israel's God be prais'd therefore From first to last for evermore And let all sorts of people then Say cheerfully Amen Amen HYMN 5. The Covenant of Works All People c.

Man's shamefull Fall. Our Father c. Gen. 3.1 BUT now the Serpent was more deep Than any Beast the field did keep Subtler than all that God had made And to the Woman thus he said Yea hath God said ye shall not eat Of all the Garden-trees for meat Fear not ye shall not surely die For God doth know assuredly That when ye both thereof have eat Your eyes it shall illuminate And ye as glorious Gods shall be Knowing both good and ill as he And when the Woman having view'd Saw that the tree was good for food And very pleasant to the eyes And to be wisht to make one wise She took the fruit thereof and ate And of it did communicate She gave her Husband of the meat And he did also take and eat Then were the eyes of both awak'd And saw that they were wholly nak'd And then they sew'd fig-leaves together Aprons to hide their shame however Then hear the voice of God did they There walking in the cool of day And in the Garden got aside They sought where they might closely hide Thinking from him that all things sees To hide themselves among the trees Adam's Arraignment and Excuse Our Father c. Gen. 3.9.11 THEN God call'd Adam And said he Adam where art thou answer me I heard thy voice then Adam said i th' Garden and I was afraid And hid my self because that I Was naked thus opprobriously v. 11. Then said the Lord how didst thou know That thou wast nak'd Who told thee so What! hast thou eaten of the tree Which flatly was forbidden thee Whereof with penalty so great I charg'd thee that thou should'st not eat The Woman Lord then said the man Thou gav'st for my Companion She gave me of it it was she That offer'd that unhappy tree She gave to me of that dear meat And I unwittingly did eat Eve's Arraignment and Excuse Gen. 3.13 1 Tim. 2.14 Rom. 5.12 THEN to the Woman who was first In the Transgression most accurst Thus said the Lord what thing is this That thou hast done so much amiss For thou hast done as thou shalt find To the Destruction of Mankind Then said the Woman that foul fiend The Serpent whom I thought my friend The Subtile Serpent it was he That cousned and beguiled me And I beguil'd by his deceit Was so unhappy as to eat HYMN 9.

And unto Adam thus he said Because that thou hast disobey'd Hearkning to what thy Wife did say And her suggestion did obey And so hast eaten of the tree Which flatly was forbidden thee The ground is cursed for thy sake With grief thereof thou shalt partake In sorrow thou shalt eat thy bread As long as thou on Earth dost tread Thistles and thorns to thee 't shall yield And thou shalt eat the herb of th' field With sad and sweaty face shalt thou Eat carefull bread got by the plow Till thou return unto the Earth Whence also thou wast taken forth For by Creation Dust thou wast And shalt return to Dust at last Adam's Expulsion from Paradise Gen. 3.21 to ult AND unto Adam and his Wife Now in a mortal state of life Did God the Lord make coats of skin To cloth their naked bodies in Then said the Lord Almighty thus The Man 's become as one of us Behold said God his deeper skill How well he knows both good and ill And now lest he put forth his hand To th' tree of life and think to stand And eat thereof and never die As he may think presumptuously Therefore the Lord depriv'd him quite Of that sweet garden of delight And to confute his fond device He put him out of Paradise And sent him forth with open shame To till the ground from whence he came So God drove out the man disgrac'd And at the East of Eden plac'd The Cherubins with flaming sword On every side that turn'd
and stir'd To keep the way from all access To th' tree of Life and Blessedness Rom. 5.12 And thus by one man entred sin Into the World so Death came in And Death hath passed over all Since all have sinned by the fall And as from Adam all along Death reigned over old and young Rom. 5.18 So by one man's obedience Are many cleared from offence That as sin reign'd to Death and pain So grace to righteousness might reign Through Jesus Christ our onely Lord Wherefore praise him with one accord HYMN 12.

The Ark Ordered Gen. 6.8 BUT Noah with the Lord found grace a perfect man without offence While all the Earth before his face was fill'd with fraud and violence And unto Noah God said thus make thee an Ark of Gopher Wood For th' Earth is most flagitious and I will drown it with a floud But thou into the Ark shalt come thou and thy Wife thy Sons their Wives Two of each sort of Creatures dumb thou shalt bring in to save their lives Of clean ones thou shalt take thee seven and likewise food for them and thee Both beasts and fowl from under heaven both male and female shall they be Heb. 11.7 Thus faithfull Noah mov'd with fear prepar'd an Ark as Scripture saith To save his House and prov'd an heir of righteousness which is by faith To God the Father and the Son and to the Holy Ghost therefore Be Glory done as first begun is now and shall be evermore HYMN 14. The Floud rising IN the six hundreth year it was of Noah's life the seventeenth Day And second Month it came to pass that Noah's Floud swept all away Then all the Fountains of the Deep were broken up beneath the Sky And Windows in the Clouds that keep were opened universally The Rain unmeasurably fell full forty Days and forty Nights The Waters did prevail and swell unto the most excessive heights The Ark was born above the Earth no less than fifteen cubits high And all the Hills which now stand forth did underneath the Waters lie And all that mov'd upon the Ground all Fowl and Beasts name what you can And every living thing was drown'd whatever breath'd and every man. HYMN 15. Eight Souls saved in the Ark. 1 Pet. 3.20 ONELY was Noah sav'd alive and those few souls that did imbark With Noah whiles the Floud let drive and were preserved in the Ark. All were destroy'd save such as sail'd in Noah's Ark which scap'd however And still the Watry Flouds prevail'd for almost half a year together Let Israel's God be prais'd therefore a God of Judgment sure is he And let the whole Earth evermore give praise to him Amen say we HYMN 16. The Floud falling AND God remembred Noah then and every living thing with him The Cattel also and the Men that to the Ark were entred in And God did make a drying Wind pass o're the Earth where flouds had rag'd Which for that purpose was design'd and so the Waters were asswag'd The Fountains also of the Deep and Heavens Windows whence it rain'd Were stopt and made all close to keep and Rain from Heaven was restrain'd And waters from the Earth always were going off to leave it dry And in an hundred fifty days they were abated wondrously And in the seventh Month that Year and on the seventeenth Day of that The Ark did rest and plain appear upon the Hills of ARARAT And still the waters did decay untill the tenth Month did ensue And in that Month on its first Day the tops of mountains were in view HYMN 17. The Raven and Dove sent out Then Noah sent a Raven out which went and passed to and fro Untill the waters all about were dryed from the Earth below Then also sent he forth a Dove to see if waters did abate From off the Earth and all above but they were still at too much height And the poor Dove could find no place whereon her weary foot might stand So she return'd to th' Ark apace and he receiv'd her with his hand Let Israel's God be prais'd therefore and with his glory Earth be fill'd And let the People evermore to him all praise and glory yield HYMN 18. The Dove with the Olive leaf Gen 8. AND seven Days more did Noah stay then sends the Dove from th' Ark again Thereby to make a fresh assay how clear the Earth was of the rain And in the Evening cometh she brings in her mouth good news to tell An Olive-leaf plukt off the tree so Noah knew the waters fell Then staid he yet seven other Days and freshly sends the Dove a-shore And finding place the Dove there stays and came not at him any more Then Noah did remove strait way the covering of the Ark to spy And lo that Year first Month and Day the face of all the Earth was dry Let Israel's God the King of Kings be ever blest and praised then Whose mercies are above all things and let all people say Amen HYMN 19. The Covenant signed by the Rainbow Gen. 8.15 c. Chap. 9.11 c.

Ezekiel's evil Hearers To the Tune of the Ten Commandments Ezek. 33.30 O Son of man thy people still Are talking of thee very ill They talk against thee by the wall And doors of houses where they call To one another thus they talk Brother to Brother as they walk Come pray you let us hear the word that now proceedeth from the Lord. And they come to thee not a few And as the People use to do They sit intent before thy face As People whom my Name doth grace They hear thy Words as faithfull men But never will they practice them For with their mouth much love they show But after gain their heart doth go 2.

The Fast proclaimed Joel 2.15 BLOW ye with Trumpets loudest blast in Sion warning all O sanctifie a solemn Fast the great Assembly call The Congregation sanctifie the people gather near Assemble th' Elders generally gather the children dear O Let the Bride-groom humbled low pass from his chamber door The Bride out of her closet go to humble them the more And let the Priests the Courts that keep the Ministers of the Lord Between the Porch and Altar weep and say with one accord Lord spare thy people do not give thine Heritage to reproach And under Heathen Lords to live that on thy right encroach And then the Lord of Israel will be jealous for his Land And they shall find most plentifull compassions at his hand HYMN 252. Three and four Transgressions Amos 1.3 6 c. THUS saith the Lord for three sad crimes Damascus did and four I 'le take revenge in after-times and never quit their score Because they threshed Gilead with iron flayls in wars But fire shall burn up Benhadad and break Damascus bars Thus saith the Lord for three sad crimes of Gaza and for four I 'le take revenge in after-times and never quit their score Because they carried quite away the whole captivity Delivering them to be a prey unto the Enemy 2. PART Amos 1.9 11. Thus saith the Lord for three sad crimes of Tyrus and for four I 'le take revenge in after times and never quit their score Because the whole captivity of Edom they resign'd The Covenant so brotherly came not into their mind Thus saith the Lord for three sad crimes of Edom and for four I 'le take revenge in after times and never quit their score For hunting Jacob with the sword all pity cast aside His anger was extremely stirr'd and ever did abide 3. PART Amos 1.13 Thus saith the Lord for three sad crimes of Ammon and for four I 'le take revenge in after times and never quit their score For ripping up with cruel hand the Women then with Child T' enlarge the borders of their Land that was with bloud defil'd Chap. 2.1 3. Thus saith the Lord for three sad crimes of MOAB and for four I 'le take revenge in after times and never quit their score Because the King of Edom's bones they burned into lime The Judge the Prince and their high Thrones shall fall at some sad time 4. PART Chap. 2. v. 4 6. Thus saith the Lord for three sad crimes of Judah and for four I 'le take revenge in after times and not acquit their score Because they did God's Word despise and did not as he bid And they were made to err by lies as their Forefathers did Thus saith the Lord for three sad crimes of Israel and for four I 'le be aveng'd in after times and not acquit their score Because for silver they did sell the just and righteous Jews And sold the poor of Israel just for a payr of shooes 5. PART Joel 2.12 Now therefore turn to me saith God and with an heart sincere With fasting and with mourning loud and many a brinish tear And rent your hearts with one accord but keep your garments whole And turn unto the Lord your God withall your heart and soul.

Heavy Judgments Our Father c. Amos 4.5 6. O House of Israel saith the Lord I smote you at your dining board I gave you emptiness of teeth In all your Cities to your grief And want of bread in every place Yet to repent ye had no grace The rain from you I have held back When THREE Months did to Harvest lack One City I did rain upon And on another there was none One piece was rain'd upon and sped And that which was not withered I smote you with a blasting Dew When Gardens Vineyards Figtrees grew And when increas'd your Olive-trees The Palmer-Worm devour'd all these Yet turn'd ye not with one accord To seek my favour saith the Lord. I sent on you the Pestilence As Egypt felt when ye went thence Your young men I with sword did slay Your Horses I did take away I made the savour of your Camp Come to your Nostrils like a damp I have o're-throwen some of you As God Gomorrah overthrew And Sodom and by gratious hands Ye were pluckt forth as fire-brands Yet turn'd ye not with one accord To seek my favour saith the Lord. Therefore will I do this to thee And am resolv'd it so shall be And since new judgments shall begin Greater than all that yet have been Against that time prepare thou well To meet thy God O ISRAEL For he that did the Mountains form That did create the Wind and Storm That shews to man what is his thought That hath the Morning Darkness wrought That treads on all the Earths high Coasts His Name is call'd the Lord of Hosts Let Israel's God be prais'd therefore From first to last for evermore And let the whole Earth up and down Be filled with his bright renown And let all sorts of people then Give praise to God and say Amen HYMN 254. Grass-hoppers and Fire Amos 7.1 WHEN God had formed Grass-hoppers as once it came to pass And made them his Commissioners to eat up all

The Cross and Crown All People c. 2 Tim. 2.11 THIS is a very faithfull Word If we be dead with Christ our Lord Then will he us to life restore To live with him for evermore For if we suffer and sustain Then shall we with him also reign If we deny Him then I say He 'll deny us another day If we believe not wanting faith Yet is He true to what He saith And howsoe'er we falsify Yet can He not Himself deny All Glory to the Holy One That sits upon the sovereign throne And to the Lamb of God therefore Be glory now and evermore HYMN 282. 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. And unto Honour some are fram'd and to dishonour some If any shun the things here blam'd and as refin'd do come A Vessel it shall him produce of honour and regard A meet one for the masters use to all good Works prepar'd To him that sits upon the throne and to the Lamb therefore Be Glory and Dominion and Honour evermore HYMN 283. Evill Times to be amended The Mighty God c. 2 Tim. 3.1 THIS also known as that which must be known that in the last days perilous times shall come Men shall be lovers of themselves alone proud covetous boasters and blasphemers some Unthankfull yielding Parents no subjection Unholy void of natural affection Truce-breakers false accusers violent Traitors and disesteemers of the good Heady highminded and incontinent loving their pleasures more than loving God Having a form of Godliness denying The power thereof with these is no complying 2 Tim. 2.22 1 Thes 5.15 But follow righteousness with one accord faith charity and peace unanimously With all the Saints that call upon the Lord out of an heart that savours purity And that which good is follow altogether Among your selves and all men whatsoever HYMN 284. Exhortations to good Works All people c. Tit. 3.1 PUT them in mind all those of ours Subject to be to higher Powers To Principalities and STATES And duteous to the MAGISTRATES To all good Works addicted still To speak of no man any ill To use no bitterness or gall But shewing meekness unto all For we our selves in former times Were much addicted to such crimes Foolish we were to envy bent And very DISOBEDIENT Deceiv'd and serving divers lusts And pleasures most pernicious Living in malice and debate Hatefull and given much to hate But when appear'd the kinder love Of God our Saviour from above Not by the Works of Righteousness Which we have acted more or less But saved by his grace from Wrath And his regenerating BATH And by the very innermost Renewing of the Holy Ghost Which he shed on us plenteously By Jesus Christ to justify Through grace which He towards us bears Of endless life to make us HEIRS HYMN 285. Dehortation from evil All People c. Tit. 1.8 THIS is a saying very true And always to be press'd on you That they that do in God believe Should carefully good Works atchieve And let all ours learn to produce Good Works for charitable use These things are good for us and them And profitable unto MEN. 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. Pure and impure described Tit. 1.15 Rev. 3.4 UNTO the pure are all things pure but to the faithless and defil'd Is nothing so ye may be sure for mind and conscience both are soil'd They still profess to know the Lord but in their deeds deny him straight Abominable and untow'rd and t' every good Work reprobate But some are holy and upright and keep their garments clean and fair And these shall walk with God in White for worthy Saints esteem'd they are HYMN 287. Fruitfulness blessed Heb. 6.7 THE Earth which oft drinks in the showers And bringeth forth sweet Herbs Flowers Meet for his use by whom 't was drest Is blest of God and richly blest But that which bringeth forth far worse Rejected is and near a curse Namely that brings forth thorns and briers Whose end is burning flames and fires HYMN 288. Charity rewarded Heb. 6.10 Gal. 6.9 THE Lord is not unrighteous your labours to forget Which ye have shew'd towards his Nameâ— with love so strongly set In that ye have administred unto his Saints so dear And still ye do administer unto his servants here And we desire each one of you with diligence to attend Unto the full assurances of Hope unto the end And be not slack through negligence but followers of all these That thorough Faith and Patience obtain'd the Promises And let us all good Works pursue not fainting any jot For we shall reap in season due if fainting hinder not To Father Son and Holy One be praise and glory then As was and is and shall be his World without end Amen HYMN 289. Benediction from the God of peace Heb. 13.20 THE God of peace we now intreat that brought our Saviour from the dead That Shepherd of the Sheep so great whose pretious bloud for us was shed And th' everlasting Covenant seal'd through that dear bloud which he did spill Make you compleat through grace reveal'd in all good Works to do his will Working in you through Jesus Christ things pleasing for the Lord to see To whom be glory in the high'st for evermore Amen say we HYMN 290.
