Sun-light's THE SAINTS RECREATION THIRD PART UPON THE ESTATE OF GRACE The First SONG Containing two Parts First CHRIST'S Expostulation With a straying Sinner Secondly The Sinner Conversion and Recovery THE FIRST PART 1. WHat is the cause poor Soul thou dost so stray From me thy LORD and from the righteous way Was this thy oath when thou with me Cov'nanted Where are the vowes which thou so freely granted 2. Am I not LORD of Light of Life and Love Am I not He to thee so kind did prove Did I not know thee by my eye All-seeing I knew thy mould before thou hadst a being 3. A wretched babe thou wast in sin first born Under God's wrath and curse and so forlorn Might'st thou not been a monster formles Creature Whil'st I have given a perfect comely Feature 4. I did my self of Royal robbs divest And cloath'd me with thy nature for thy rest I scourged was and crowned with the thorn The cross I bare for thee I suffered scorn 5. The Gospel-Light I gave thee to direct A Guard of Angels ready to protect My Sp'rit to warn and be thy gracious guyd Yet from my precepts thou dost ever slyd 6. I Gave thee food and raiment health and peace My self I gave for thy poor Souls release And yet to me unkynd thou still wast proving And dost not labour to requite my loving 7. From Satan Sin and Hell I made thee free That thou might'st never condemnation see A Ransom Sacrifice and Propitiation I Was Divine Justice for to satisfy 8. I keep 't thee from the Famine and the Sword From Pestilence and did all good afford From shameful sin and from flagitious crimes From Satans snares in these confused times 9. That Satan might not fright thee nor possess From madness sudden death and all distress From sickness sore and sting of conscience fell I keeped thee from dropping into Hell 10. I did thee Gently chasten with the rod That thou might'st mynd thy duty to thy God But when the rod was off with Pharaoh vain Thou wallowed in the Myre of sin again 11. This was not all I promis'd thee a Crown Ev'n Heavns glory riches and renown If thou should'st serve me yet thy fruit is small Thou wanders from me like the Prodigal 12. Where is thy Faith where is thy fervent Love Where is thy zeal and works thy faith to prove Beware like Laodicea thou me force Thee to reject with dolorous divorce 13. If thou do not repent and soon return And for thy many sins thou do not mourn If answer not my mercies to thee shown I 'll the reject and never more thee own SECOND PART Containing the penitent Sinners Conversion and Recovery 1. WHat thundering voice is this I hear who calls Is this the voice of CHRIST from Heav'n that falls I sleeping was pampered with all pleasure But now I see my sin 's above all measure 2. Justly O LORD might'st thou from me depart Justly might'st thou my sinful Soul desert For most ungrate I heretofore was proving And most unworthy of such matchless loving 3. O! what am I thou should'st so kyndlie call And did not suffer in the pit to fall Since I have from my God so long departed No wonder that for sin I sore had smarted 4. Thy calls I did repell thy word I slighted Thy Sp'rit I quench'd thy rods when they have lighted I did not hear their voice nor mercies prized But I have done what Satan hath devised 5. My sins in number they are like the Sand By breaking of thy righteous Command For quality atrocious great offences I sinn'd with Soul and the external senses My sins are many yet no more than thou Canst freely pardon O my God most true My sin is great yet is thy mercy greater I run to thee there is no Savior better 7. Thou past by Angels and hast sent thy Son In humane nature our poor Souls to win Thou raisest up the Soul that is dejected And thou hast not the weary Soul rejected 8. Thy promise is to seek the Soul that 's lost Thy promise is to comfort all that 's crost I 've lost my self come now sweet Lord and save me I cleave to thee my God O do not leave me 9. With blinks of mercy thou dost wretches view Thy glory is in weaknes strength to shew Thy mercy is on those that have no merit That heirs of wrath great glory may inherit 10. When multituds I saw in the broad way I took delight with them to go astray Disdainfully thy precepts I did trample Thy promise sweet thy threats and Saints example 11. The many by-paths have my Soul deceived And have me of my Saviour near bereaved Some not for peace some not for piety Some not for truth some like the Pharisee 12. Some live so loose as mynding not a judge No God no Hell no Heav'n a soul to lodge Some Laodicean like they care not whether Religion sink or swimme Fools altogether 13. Some seeming godly yet they have no love No Christian works their fruitfull faith to prove Some loyal and good reason to great Caesar But to serve God have neither time nor leisure 14. Some pious-like and yet disown a King As if rebellion were no hainous thing Some place Religion in their vain opinion Some in debats about the best dominion 15. Some place Religion in most base reviling The men of God their own poor souls beguyling Some in proud Koreh's arrogant rebelling And yet they fancy heav'n to be their dwelling 16. Sometimes I followed one sometimes the other Sometimes I Jarr'd with father and with mother For trivial things O poor distracted I And many things I did I knew not why 17. I now perceive all these are sinful theams Impertinent and vicious extreams I 'll now betake me to the good old way Of thy dear Saints and more I will not stray 18. I now perceive Satan hath many wyles And slie devices which the Soul beguyles

double dye But Christ will make me white as Snow Me to exalt he came below 42. For us poor sinners for our sakes Three offices He undertakes Then joyfully I 'll say and sing He is my Prophet Priest and King FINIS SONG IV. THE HOLY TRIPLICITY OR A Description of CHRISTS THREE Office with the devout Souls Triumphing-Song upon the consideration of CHRISTS All-sufficiency and Expectation of perfect Redemption by him To the Tune of the New Blackbird SECTION FIRST 1. I 'M not an Astrologue to gaze on the Skies To talk much of Trigons and Triplicities Nor with great Pythogre With some superstition Ascribing much virtue to Numbers condition Yet clearly I see Without any lye A Mystery wrapped in seven and in three 2. Three Persons there are in Essence divine Of Angelic orders thrice three that is nine Twice three the Creation-dayes did compleet GOD then did all finish he found to be meet Four threes are the twelve Tribes in Israel So were the Apostles in truth that excell 3. So CHRIST our Redeemer by offices three He purchas'd Salvation for me and for thee He 's King and a Priest a Prophet divine So brings he the Elect in Glory to shine His own He rescues His foes He subdues Though Furies Infernal their forces combine 4. Our woful defects they call for the three We r blind and we know not how saved to be Estranged from GOD and Children of wrath Unable to purchase a freedom from death By Prophet we see By Priest we draw nigh King JESUS gives strength to GOD we may fly 5. All these our defects they call for supply Which JESUs my LORD vouchsafes unto me I 'm blind and I cannot the way well descry But CHRIST is the Prophet to teach me the way His Spirit and word Shall help me afford From darkness to light I 'm led by my LORD 6. My sins make a distance between me and GOD For in his right path I have not abode His stroke is still ready to kill and destroy To damp all my comforts my peace and my Joy But CHRIST will with ease The Father appease As Priest he 'll get pardon and comfort will raise 7. As Man He 's the Sacrifice debt for to pay For all out trespasses on Him we do lay He 's Altar to sanctiby the Sacrifice As GOD to inrich it and give it a price As both GOD and Man He 's Priest for He can Plead offer and Pray and so favour win 8. His Kingdom He enters with Scepter and Sword His Elect He conquers by Spirit and Word By His Holy Laws He Governs them All His Power protects them what e'r can befall Their foes He shall fright With terrour and might And Crowns all His Saints with Glory most bright 9. The order of saving the offices clears For first He explains it and then He acquires And after applyes what purchase He wan So comes there much comfort to comfortles Man As Prophet declares As Priest full of cares As King He applyes it and keepeth from tears SECTION II. The Souls Triumphing-Song over all Enemies upon the consideration of CHRIST'S All-sufficiency and the expectation of that perfect Redemption and Glory purchased by Him 1. I Will then inferiour comforts forsake My choice above all things Great JESUS I 'll make Though Satan should fret and fortune should froun I do not much value when CHRIST is my own In Sickness and Health In want and in wealth I will seeke my JESUS till He give a Crown 2. And though all the World against me conspire And though all the Elements Water and Fire The Earth and the Aire and what ever more Though Men should massacre Lyons should roare Though Universe round Turn upside that 's Down Yet JESUS can conquer and give me a Crown 3. His Love is transcendent His power is great Admitting no crossing affliction or lett He 's faithful in promise and alters no words What wisdom contriveth His power affords On these I rely Until that I dye And then sing His praises to eternity 4. Pale Death with his terrours me cannot affright Nor yet the red Dragon with power and might Sin is their advantage and guilt is their sting But that is removed by JESUS our King Then conquering I Hosanna I 'll cry And sound out all praises to JESUS on high 5. When death me dissolveth glad tidings I hear Though friends they forsake me the Angels draw Transporting my Soul to Mansions above near Then all things below me but vanities prove My Joy and my rest Then find I at last For CHRIST I enjoy then of all things the best 6. And when the great day of Judgment appeares Which brings to the guilty and Godles their fears I 'll be at his right hand with gladness of heart When sinners receive ane eternal depart Hee 'll say unto me I chosen have thee And now with my Servants thou blessed shalt be 7. The Starres doe bespangle the Heaven as gemms Which GOD doth number and call by their Names This is but a payement to that Paradice Where CHRIST he resideth that Pearle of price Be humble therefore Admire and adore Let all thy aspiring be after this glore 8. With Abram and Isaac I 'll set me then down My cross is exchang'd with a glorious Crown No hunger no thrist no sickness appears For CHRIST from my eyes hath wiped all tears With Angels I dwell In light that excell But CHRIST I enjoy and He 's All in All. 9. My Joy is so full I seek not for more Of riches and honours I have so great store Nor can I be robbed no change do I feare My riches they rust not nor garments do weare For ever and ay They do not decay But last to Eternity O happy day 10. My exercise is to adore and to sing Sweet songs of high praises to JESUS my King The more I doe praise more reason I find For this finit vessel cannot comprehend The glory that 's there That 's free of all feare Come quickly LORD JESU and cause me draw near 11. Then on my Redeemer I 'll sweetly rely With comfort reposing untill that I dye Disclaiming denying the World and all I 'll give no repulses when He gives a call And for every thing I 'll joyfully sing A high Hallelujah to JESUS my King FINIS The BLESSED BETHLEHEMITE THE FONTAIN OF LIFE OR CHRISTS EXCELLENCY Containing a farther description of the blessed Messiah the LORD JESVS CHRIST in his Types Titles Attributes c.
