A27397	Some prison meditations of an humble heart given forth from a child in Israel, whose soul very dearly loveth his Heavenly Fathers children : much desiring, (and travelling in spirit for) their prosperity in the truth, even as for his own soul ... / by a sufferer for the truth in the common goal of Edmondsbury, whose earthen vessel bears the name of William Bennit.	Bennit, William, d. 1684.	1666 (1666)	Wing B1893; ESTC R32569	25,285	28

the Lord may prosper and bless them with all Spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus Oh the Lord God keep all his Children every where in this hour and power of darkness and preserve all his dear babes and tender lambs in this day of great trial and manifold temptation Oh the Lord keep all those who make mention of his name in sincerity and truth from bowing in the least degree unto the Beast and from drinking the least drop of the Whores cup although she should be permitted to drink their blood Oh the Lord God almighty keep his sheep and lambs who were once scattered abroad in the cloudy dark day whom he hath sought and found out and gathered out of the desart places and wast howling Wilderness whom he hath brought from off the barren mountains and dry heaths into the low low low fresh green Valley where the pure sweet refreshing consolating springs of life eternal encompasseth them about Oh the Lord keep them still and quiet minding their feeding and not at all heed the raging of the Sea nor regard the unmercyful waves thereof which often looks very high as if they would quite overflow the valley of the low places and drown all who flee not unto the mountains for refuge and safety but oh let not the sheep and lambs and little ones fear nor at all flee to the hills for refuge for behold the Lord the high and mighty one the holy one of Israel is their Shepherd and he even continually watcheth over them and greatly careth for them and he it is who hath given bounds to the raging Sea and he limits the proud waves thereof and shuteth up her floods as he pleaseth he can let forth the wind and suffer a storm and he can make a calm when he pleaseth he can cause the sea and the wind to obey him and therefore the Children of God need not to fear none besides the Lord who will suffer nothing to befall them but what shall work for good to all his chosen faithful ones wherefore it is good for all the Children of the Lord confidently to trust in the Lord and not at all fear though their enemies pursue hard after them and say in their hearts come come we will pursue them we will overtake them our lusts shall be satisfied upon them we will have the desire of our hearts concerning them we will draw our swords and our hands shall destroy them and we will try whether their Gods in whom they say they trust be able to deliver them from the stroke of our hands well let not Israel heed the boasting and threatnings of his enemies nor regard the purposes of his adversaries though they pursue hard after him and say we will bring them back again into Egypt or else we will totally destroy them yet let not Israel fear for the Lord his God is between him and his enemies and fights for him against his adversaries and he in his anger will look down upon them and trouble their host and take off their Chariot wheels and will blow in his wrath upon them and the sea of his righteous indignation shall cover them and they shall sink as lead in the bottom of his righteous Judgments and he will get himself a name through the distruction of Sions enemies and honour and magnifie himself through the deliverance of his chosen who will work wonders for the sake of his Redeemed in so much as the Dukes of Edom shall be amazed and even trembling shall take hold upon the mighty men of Moab and all Nations shall shiver and quake before the mighty God of Israel who is dreadful in holiness fearful in praises doing wonders Oh let Israel honour his God in believing in him and in trusting in his name in relying and depending upon his arme of everlasting strength and patiently without murmurings to wait upon the Lord for he that is to come will come and will not tarry whose work is before him and his reward is with him even joy for the mourners in Sion and beauty for ashes gladness for the heavy hearted in Jerusalem freedom for bondage freedom from weights burdens and grievous oppressions Oh let all the Children of the Lord wait without fainting upon the Lord for yet a little while and the voice will be heard saying rejoyce oh rejoyce and even sing for joy ye saints servants and prophets of the most high and triumph in the Lord Almighty over the beast and false prophet and over the Whore which hath corrupted the Earth who hath long set as a queen and said in her heart she should never see sorrow with whom the Nations of the Earth hath committed fornication and she hath made Nations Kindreds Tongues and People drunk with the wine of her fornication who hath long deceived the Nations with her golden cup which hath been filled with abominations and in her is found all the blood of the Martyrs and servants of Jesus which hath been shed upon the earth and she hath rid upon the beast that rose out of the Sea who received his seat great power and authority from the Dragon who persecuted the true woman that was cloathed with the sun and had a crown of twelve Stars upon her head who sought to devour her Man child and made war against the remnant of her seed who keep the commands of God and have the Testimony of Jesus these cannot worship the beast nor his name nor receive his mark but these worship God alone and are followers of the Lamb through many tribulations whose garments are made white in his blood by whom they are redeemed from amongst men these the Beast and false Prophet have sought to kill persecute and root out from off the face of the earth but wo wo wo to the beast false prophet and thè Whore for the day of their Judgment is come and misery calamity distress and destruction is coming upon them and she the mother of Harlots the mother of Witchcrafts the abominations of the earth shall utterly be destroyed and totally burnt with fire for strong is the Lord God Almighty who judgeth her and now sing oh Heavens and rejoyce ye who live therein over mystery Babylon the great for it is fallen it is fallen as a mighty milstone into the bottom of the Sea never more to arise again Amen Halleluiah The Lord will thunder from Heaven upon thy enemies oh Sion and will break thy adversaries to pieces and will give strength to thy King and exalt the horne of his Anointed and he shall reign and rule and prosper and execute justice and true judgment in the earth in his days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and sit under his own Vine and none shall make him afraid then shall it be said to Jerusalem fear not and to Sion let not thy hands be slack the Lord in the middest of thee is mighty he hath saved thee he hath set thee free from thy trouble he will rejoyce

over thee with joy he 'l joy over thee with singing then it shall be said sing oh daughter of Sion and shout oh Israel and rejoyce with all thy heart oh daughter of Jerusalem for the Lord hath taken away thy Judgment he hath cast out thy enemies and thy warfare is accomplished and thy great travel is finished and now thou shalt rest from thy labour and they who hath laboured and mourned with thee and for thee shall rejoyce for joy with thee and suck and be satisfied with the sweet consolation of thy breast and milk out and be delighted in the abundance of thy glory oh the Lord thy husband thy maker the God of hosts is his name will extend peace joy comfort and everlasting refreshment as a mighty stream and endless consolation as a river oh then shall they be comforted in thee after their sorrow and be born up upon thy sides and dandles upon thy knees for as a woman comforteth her only son so will the Lord comfort Jerusalem in the sence whereof her Children shall rejoyce and their souls be right glad and flourish as an herb and their spirit shall praise and sing glory unto him who is Lord and King of Heaven and Earth who is worthy worthy of all glory praise and honour for ever and for ever more Amen saith my soul The thing which the Lord hath purposed must be accomplished in his season and the thing that he hath determined must be fulfilled in despite of all the powers of Darkness Oh that all thy babes and lambs may willingly wait thy appointed time oh Lord God almighty oh dear God keep all thy people retire in thy name that so what ever thou suffer to befall their bodies their souls may be safe bundeled up in the bundle of Life wrapped therein for ever more for a terrible day is like to be upon all flesh and who can be able to abide it Oh dear God increase the patience of thy People strengthen the faith of thy Chosen oh support the weak and uphold the little ones which cannot yet go alone oh that none of thy flock may faint nor grow weary oh that all thine might stand in the day of tryal and be kept in the hour of temptation and borne up under all sufferings that so in the end they may come forth as gold seven times refined in the fire that they may shine as stars in the firmament of thy power making mention of thy goodness graciousness and kindness oh Lord God Almighty declaring of thy mighty acts and sing of thy mercies and wonderful doings and glorifie magnifie honour and praise thee thou mighty everlasting powerful one who art from all Eternity to all Eternity whose Throne is established of old whose septer beareth sway in Righteousness
