In an abiding ground And there 's no other cause for it But what in God is found The Tree of knowledge it did stand In Paradise and there Is also put the flaming sword Which is exceeding rare The flaming sword is also there That it might run through all That would be striking at this Tree Thinking to make it fall But who so striketh at this Tree The flaming sword shall cut And those that cavil at Spirit Shall surely have the hurt Some in this Generation Pretending much for Grace Say it was for all not only some But this doth it deface And though that Christ doth with sweet voyce Call to rebellious ones And they are left without excuse None can come to the Throne But such as in foreknowledge were O this is glorious Grace The Deity doth here shine forth In its election face O the Son he doth magnifie The Fathers grace and love But yet the Son he doth not spoyle Foreknowledge from above And poor Souls you will not then think Upon free will so much If you go forth to Jesus Christ And have redemptions touch O look unto the son of God Fo he foreknowledg knew And all the glorious things that so From Gods election grew And when souls rightly take a view O it is through Christs light Else its dangerous to look On that which is so bright The sword that was about the tree It had a lovely flame It did sorround foreknowledg tree That nothing could it stain The very spirit that did move In first creation so It also doth defend this tree Against the evill foe And O this glorious tree is-kept Though Babylon would have slain And hath indea voured by all means This flaming love to stain But O the sword is about it And this your faith shall see And therefore look up to the Lord For there is victory And do not fly against spirit Which doth so much appear For the truths of the diety And would draw your souls near Ezekiell he was taken up And did in vision bright Behold the glorious Diety He had a precious sight Of severall winged creatures when God thus did him up call For then most sweetly he beheld The Originall of all The spirits work in creation In rivers he is there And in dry land he doth appear In all things very rare And father and sons light and love Is in a l that was made And the spirit these three are one In all that then was said Then in redemption spirit comes And thereof he do h talk And shews the blessed royall King In his redemption walk The spirit of the son hath told And of the Father dear And to the creature doth apply And bringeth this love near The spirit reads originall book Not for himself alone But to apply redemption To the poor weeping one And therefore love poor souls to drink Of spirits wine so choice For that will cleanse your souls from sin And free you from all dross Come O you sober waiting ones You love to drink herein And for to tast of Jesus Christ Who frees the soul from sin Come waiting souls come what say you Unto this wine so sweet What say you to the clusters that You did from Canaan meet But O the scorner comes and laughs At Canaans clusters great But the children do not delight To sit in scorners seat But O come forth you sober ones And eat of the choice grape For the juce is refreshing sweet And after more you will gape O come you sincere sober ones For it s prepared for you For they are relished and toucht But by a very few Poor hearts you that do sigh and groane Gome drink of spirits wine It will carry to Jesus Chrst And will your souls refine O poor hearts methinks you should not Hear those would make you fly From the sweet teachings of this love Which in your hearts shall lie O the anointings of the Lord Will make your souls to shine O do not speak against that which Is so high and sublime It doth not favour any one It is not from the brain But it doth search the heart throughout And it doth try the reines O pray souls receive the spirit For it is very high It did create and form all things That you do here esple O pray souls love the spirit which Also doth shew the son In his redemption work so great For from him he doth come And O what doth the spirit show Of his anointing great And what will not anointing do Before the highest seat Pray waiting hearts drink of this wine It shall with you remain It will not onely fly to head But run in every vein O come poor unbeleeving ones Look to this royall grace And see the cups that over-flow They 'l fill your soul apace O Christ he minds the trembling heart And the wounded spirit That taketh what doth issue forth From his victorious merit Would you poor hearts have a spring time O come you and wait here For the cold winter it is gone And summer doth appear O come you drooping hearts O come For spirit doth love still To speak particularly to you Your empty souls to fill It is the publick spirit souls And it doth love to show The large and royall grace that doth To sinners overflow And the book of originall These things doth tell and bring Poor souls O come and read in it The matters of your King O Christ when he did rise from grave With Godhead spirit high He minded Maries tears and then Did pitty weeping eye It was his work for to ascend And swiftly go to throne Yet when a weeping Mary comes Hee 'l not leave her alone Without some words of comfort O He must to Mary talk And also send to Bretheren Who likewise love his walk She cries Rabbony and would touch But prethee Mary stay For I am not ascended yet Saith he but go that way He did not stay I cant now talk But wipes away her teares And speaks most kindly unto her That so she might not fear O what a glorious Christ is this That doth say I am he And what'a bright and flaming love May poor hearts in him see While she was weeping he do h speak And unto her doth come While you have eares on cheeks for him He will bring comfort home Unto your soul and you shall drink And have your fill of love And it shall rise up to a flame And carry you above O come then and do you behold The King in his high reign In full compleat persection and See all the enemies slain This you shall see therefore rejoyce In your Saviour so dear Behold the love of him that will Wipe away all your tear â— Therefore O Souls come unto him Beleeve he is your rest And love the Gospell very dear And covenant that is best And be sure you observe what doth Come from the King of Kings And let none lead your souls away From that which comfort
to come forth To oppose thy Royall seat For though objections do arise You are strengthened by Christs hand Though they do bring forth Treachery Yet through faith you stand And have a glorious sight of it O it is very sweet Dear friends can you rejoice in that Which others count a cheat But Spirit sings victory over All lies and cheats throughout O Spirit it doth sing O Lord Against the lying mouth The Psalm it hath a joyfull sound It victory can sing Now over the accusing tongue And what it forth doth bring O the Psalm it is very pure And to Companions dear Because the Lord appears in it

And victory throughout O spirit it is powerfull In these thy comings down O what a mighty royalty In beholding thy Crown O what a Noble King is Christ How he appears in sight When any opposition comes Against children to sight I was an eye and ear witnesse to this Psalm against the Quakers and heard many of their impudent objections I shall instance some The men came in sate down in the room at the end of two hours spake against the truth at the name of Christ and electing him then the voice answered their severall objections which are in the Psalm they said we were told she could neither hear nor see and yet she answered in words and names me one in the room at which they raged higher and spake against the Kingdome truth but the Lord sent down a louder voice that did drown this and so swift that the writer could not take all but as you may read victory so I can witnesse that it had victory over them that they were not able to tarry in the room but went away raging against the truth in the Psalm pray mark the Psalm read it again and again much incouragement to those that have the truth at that time to see such a decision of truth against error O what a victory O Lord Doth from Jesus Christ come O God the Father doth appear Most clearly in his Son O what a victory O Christ Doth shine forth in thy face In thy bright resurrection And in thy glorious grace Victory over death and sin A Royall victory By him that now in spirit doth Against the Devil cry O what a glorious victory God in it doth come down Against all that Satan can do His blessed truth to crown O what a victory is this That God to us doth show That by the very powers of Hell Can never have a blow A glorious victory indeed O souls will you come in And close with Jesus Christ this day And part with every sin Victory victory I sing In this triumphing day Over the Devil Hell and Sin And fears shall flie away When the Spirit is poured out O let not children fear Although the Devil in his doth rage

God hath so poured And so flowed forth here Against that hellish light that would Thy own appearance tear But O thy children O Lord They shall abide and stand And be kept close unto thy word By thy outstretched hand O thy children have not an ear To hear their lying tongue Thy own children shall not receive What from hell forth doth come Thy children shall not embrace The cheats that go about But they shall be kept to the day Of Redemption throughout Thy children are kept so fast By the power of the Son That now they cannot start aside Though such inchantments come And praised be God for that which We here have found this day Of God and Jesus Christ which doth In our souls bear sway O You are very safe who do Sit down and sup with Christ Who have his prepared body So freshly brought in sight You have heard of the body which God prepared for you To be broken that still you might His love afresh still view O 'T is a Royall body Friends I know you love it dear And that you do not at all mind What against it appears O 't is a royall body souls What can you of it say Have you embraced Jesus Christ In the Fathers own way O see how spirit Jessifres Against the Devils lies O let it therefore teach your souls For it more up to rise The more you do love God poor souls And Jesus Christ do see The more you will prize and esteem Of spirits melody O you his beloved children dear You should for spirit stand You that profess for Jesus Christ And for Jerusalems Land Give thanks to God that overcame Though you so sinfull be And this very God will appear Against all Treachery And go away you vile ones that Do so kick against him You are defi'd by spirit and He manifests your sinne O go thy way from spirits shine Which here appears throughout And against thee this day doth plead

shewed to her but she knew not of their coming but the Lord did provide for their coming By this we understand the rise of them and in what strength we must encounter with them Lord thou the vision hast fulfill'd That I this night did see For thou shewedst a grievous thing That did come to bite me Thou shewedst a Cocatrice to me And it was very high And it had teeth that were most sharp And against me it did she Its teeth were like to iron Even like iron strong And a fiery eye I did behold As it did passe along It first came in most cunningly And a while it did walk But at last it did open mouth And against me did talk O what a terrible sight dear Lord Did I in night behold But then came power from above And of it I did take hold It was a very grievous sight Unto my fleshly pare But O the Lord did then appear And strengthened my heart For O thou didst bring forth O Lord The other night a Vision sweet For a Lamb then there did appear That stood slain for
I 'le confirm With testimony high For opposition it will come And Babylon against it fly This Gospel hath confirmed been With signes and miracles so That none can overcome although They do against it go Though Antichrist began to rise Long since and housands bring Something against it yet they can't Conquer the blessed King O the doctrine of the Apostles Hath been declared to you Who are baptised in Jesus Christ And see his death so new The doctrine of the Apostles Hath been held forth very cleer To you by the spirit of the Son And you have for it appear'd The doctrine and application It hath

waies And inquite for his seat O mind the Apostles doctrine And do not you unite To any thing but what it doth Call you to and invite It is the antient blessed rule And it lays all things flat That doth not conform to it O hearken unto that And when the glorious one doth come And joyn to the soul with power It straight conforms to a rule And submits in that houre It doth lay hold on him by faith And to a rule doth stand It challenges all that doth oppose His royall sweet command It doth not walk with subtilitie Or in a mixed way But it keeps very close to him And on his word doth stay After Baptisme Scripture doth show And sweetly teach the rest And leads forth to the whole worship Where his do feed and rest For the word brings the soul unto Conformity in every thing That there may be compleatness in The service of the King Not in a confused or mixed way Or an erroneous spirit But after the way of Jesus Christ Purchased by his merit They will not onely turn from Apostacy so vile But even from all things that do The new choice covenant spoyle The Apostles doctrine will instruct And reach in every thing And it will also lead from that Which doth displease the King O Faith and Baptisme it is A doctrine very sweet To those that do love Jesus Christ And are his obedient sheep This is not against fellowship But for assembling According to a Gospel rule Which is pleasing to him

brings But O observe the true Gospell For it is choice indeed And it is very glorious For the soul on to seed How sweetly died Sillinghast In Gospell sound so choice And O how much did his soul prize Thee in new covenant voice O he was faithfull unto thee And much comfort did bring To thine how sweet's his rising day That kept close to the King And did not from new covenant start Love swallowed up his prime And he did witness very high To truth of latter time O how sweetly did Pendâ—rvis Take farewell of all here And was faithfull in testimony And in obedience dear He stood unto new covenant Did not to Sinai run Nor to stone-tables for a rule But did to Zion come O how lovely and sweet was he Who morned for Davids spirit Who did so much desire his march That he might his inherit His soul was sad and could not bear Any should take in hand What was against the blessed son For whom he up did stand O his name and fame it shall live From first unto the last He greatly loved thee and did To thy commands stand fast And every where did speak for thee His heart was on a flame O he was faithfull unto Christ And to his blessed raign And O how sweetly did he speak Forth in the spirits sound Of the commands of Jesus Christ When he went on this ground He own'd the poorest one that he Did look upon as thine And did praise Jesus Christ in all O his soul did incline Unto thy glorious Kingdome and Did long for thy high throne And to behold thy blessed face That art the smiting stone How sweetly did he set thee forth And how did he oppose Those that were not for Christ that is The onely Sharon rose He did not care what any said But kept unto record This is the evill of this day Souls do go from the Lord But sweet were the commands of Christ Unto this servant dear They were to him most pure and bright And did refresh and chear O what a glorious frame is this Sure it is very safe And it wi l certainly lead souls In to the straightest gate O lovely died Pendarvis Lovely was his renown And every way most pretious And blessed is his Crown He was lovely in principles Lovely in Doctrine And lovely in his practice too Which beautified him Blessed was he in holiness Which did so sweetly shine In his most humble holy look With countenance divine He died unto yoke-fellow And unto children dear And early in the morning he Approches the throne near That so for dear Jerusalem He might with face on ground Go weep and mourn unto the Lord Who will by such be found He waked early that he might For poor Jerusalem go Unto the throne and there he wept That others did not so O this beloved blessed one Did long so after thee And thou didst Crown his daies and life With spirits melodie And he was not rash with his tongue But he did speak most meek He was a choice and lovely one He was a dilicate sheep And a sweet pleasant Psalm thou hast Sent for this lovely one Who did delight in Jesus Christ More then in any one O that others did also mind This example so rare That they might go forth after him That is so bright and fair And my heart doth to children go I would ly at thy feet And beseech thee to carry them Unto thy Gospell fear O I could even die O Lord That they might live to thee And embrace that pure Gospel law Where is such melodie O that those poor souls would now come From that which is so dark From Sina's law which even doth Shoot like a peitcing dart O it doth shoot ' gainst thee O Lord How can I it embrace For it shoots against the covenant Which hath such glorious grace Though thy Gospell-commands I love And fellowship would crave Yet I had rather go to earth And ly in the deep Grave Then to enjoy it with those that Doe so love Sina's walk How can I embrace it with them That for that covenant talk O I cannot have fellowship Though I in it delight For so to hear my Saviour wrong'd Is grievous in my sight But O I would have fellowship With faithfull reall spirits According to a Gospell rule Through my dear Saviours merits O fellowship is sweet indeed And will be till I die And then a witness you shall have To it that is more high With testimony against those That are apostates great And against Seperates also That do love Sina's seat I matter not what any say Who will not these things own For I shall still sing more of it And for thy raigning throne O lovely spirit thou art best That cometh down to me And carries forth my soul in this Choice and sweet harmony O rare spirit O thou art rare That shineth forth so pure Thou art the high and blessed one That shall allwaies indure O spirit thou art very choice That Ioel said before Should after Christ come down and it Is come and shall much more O rare spirit thou art the same Come to Disciples then And did seal unto Joels word For after ages men But not to seal and terminate It only unto them But the first fruits it was of that Shall be to latter men And thy handmaids were promised Much of that spirit choice And it is and it shall come forth In a rare singing voice It shall be poured all along While that the ages last But Antichristian Rabby's do Indeavour this to blast The glorious choice spirit Souls O the annointings sweet They 'l make you sing and quickly lay All

gloriously appear O come and try the spirit souls What can you to it say It is the voice of God indeed In resurrection way O come and try the spirit souls And see what it doth bring Is not the

For that would be too strong But in spirit I am confident Against a thousand tongues O let God put his harp in hand Then I 'le challenge you all And I doe know I shall stand sure And you will crumble and fall If God doth put his harp in hand Then no man shall it break No weapon form'd shall prosper against What Christ shews from his seal If once that harp be in my hand I 'le stand against you all Doe what you can yet this weapon Shall not at any time fall The harp and viall full of odour Will make me stand upright Then I can challenge all that will Come and against me fight I fear not for to tell them now That I don't matter it Though that against the Psalme they speak And the instrument would hit And O pray let the Rabbies come That doe the spirit hate And let them hear what spirit saith That speaketh at high rate Prithy souls come O let them come Entreat them to doe so That they may hear what spirit saith That their objections know Pray let Court-Chaplains come know Spirit against their Master fights And against them who do stand up And say its day when night O let Court-Chaplains enter here Were there hundreds of that rout The spirit here would deal with them And shew their casting out The spirit it would sing to them And shew their Harlot feasts And tell them that the Scepter is That Kings that will defeat Them O if that such men were here The spirit it would preach And shew forth the great power of him That Antichristians hate Companions you can witness that The spirit is very strong And how that it doth challenge all That its powring out wrong Companions you can witness what Spirit speaks for Nations King And his most royall glory for Spirit doth of him sing Companions dear Companions dear What a glorious time is that When that this King with power appears To lay his enemies flat For O the time is coming that The enemy shall know That goes securely up and down What is the Almighties blow The time is coming are you fit Companions what doe you say Can you sing praises unto him For this approaching day Companions are you strengthned For the King to appear That you may engage for the King And own his latter year Companions dear no matter though Others it delusion call Yet O doe you esteem of that Which brings the all of all It s no matter though others doe So much dislike her shew For they doe not her understand The Kings hot shining glow And therefore say its not spirit They cannot see it here But if they knew it were the spirit They would for it appear And thus they doe refuse what they In prayer have for so been Though mercies come unto the door They say it is not him And thus they did poore hand-maide wrong And say O thou art mad 'T is no Peter but an Angel 'T is no earthly clod O thou art mad Rhoda Unto her they did say We cannot beleeve it is Peter Was their words in that day And thus they doe say in our time And count hand-maid to speak From their fancy but it 's that Comes from eternal seat But what ever that they doe say Yet Jesus Christ is here And our ass-mbling is sweet Because he draweth neer The assembling of your selves spirit Doth not at all deny But you are to observe that Which is most choice and high God loves that Churches should appear And meet in his own light But O he would not have them for His comings down to slight Spirits not against assemblies But holds them forth most clear But O let not assembliss Against the spirit appear But if you are for assemblies From a true reall heart Then O now assemble for him That shouts forth piercing dart Against those that doe so oppose And so reproach and come Against those administrations which Doe come forth from the Son O dear souls where i' st you can learne A doctrine more sweet O then goe forth to Jesus Christ And lye down at his feet O minde how that the spirit doth send And shew body prepar'd And how it sets forth to Jesus Christ Which is so choice and rare Companions dear doe you alwaies ' Gainst miracle-mongers speak And doe you plead for spirit that Your joys may be compleat O doe you look for faith the which In Jesus Christ is found And will help their souls in all straights For it unbelief drowns The spirit unbelief doth check For it angers the Lord It witnesseth ' gainst what is not According to record Many time-pleasers are amongst The union of this day And yet they will not suffer that The spirit should it gainsay But the spirit it will gain say all That at this day unite Because they doe not goe the way Which in Scripture is right But they doe cleave unto such things As fancy leads unto And doe despise those things that are So glorious and new But Christ he doth not own union Upon the ground men goe And I am confident hee'r blast The union that is so O poor prisoners they are mislead Because uniting breath Upon false grounds is nothing but The fancies of their head O God hath shewed us this day That all must lie in grave And all those things must be laid by That men esteemed have O who do plead so much for Christ As those that unite at this day But yet they will not him allow To come in his own way But let any one come and speak A few fair words of thee Then presently they will unite To shew loves victory O miserable love is come out And doth poor Children draw And that makes them so fall away And to strike at thy Law But Apostles shall for Christ unite Cherubims and Seraphims high And all those unitings that are Against him shall fall and dye Christ art thou lest to Cherubims And to the Seraphims And to the holy Heavenly host Thou also art their King O come O Cherubims O come King Jesus for to Crown Come Seraphims with burning zeal For Nations King come down O come come Cherubims O come Seraphims with burning Coal And O doe you appear for him And his glory unfold Come Seraphim

Christ According to his word When Scraphims coal poor one doth touch They quickly will fall down In their selves and be ready for The Lord Jesus to Crown When Seraphims coal love blows afresh O it will souls inslame If they shall not here quiet be Till apostates be slain When love blows up the altar coal And Seraphims forth come O then will poor ones be for Christ Both in their words and tongue It will be a very choice time When Seraphims here
doe flye How many will follow the coal That will not now relye When Seraphims with a live coal Doth touch Isaiahs tongue O he doth then stand on his feet And for God goeth one Seraphims hot coal from above Makes the heart look up high And presently it doth goe forth For Jesus Christ to flye For a voice in the coal there doth As well as in Seraphim come For to raise up poor dying hearts To declare for the son To ages of the Mystery That from the throne did come And to tell them of the living Host which He saw above the Son And his Ministry was most sweet For God he did out-goe And the glorious power did make him For Christ to over-flow He was desirous that he might His Lord Christ much advance Therefore with open eye he looks When spirit doth on him glance And now dear souls will you goe home Will you on these things feed O will you then to morrow come For more to supply need The Lord he hath this day prepar'd You for more here I know He hath brought down his body sweet To make your souls to grow O pray then call to mind Doctrine That holds forth Christ above Remember the Doctrine of the psalm ' Gainst miracle-mongers that don 't it love Remember the doctrine of the Psalm Which you have heard this day And O remember to apply It after Spirits way That so Satan may not at all Steal your affections away And O dear hearts be carefull now Over matter you pray Now Lord this night I 'l with thee rest I know thou wilt bring more O praised be the Lord for what Hath come down heretofore O praised be the glorious God For what this day hath come I will now in thy bosome roll Who art the glorious Son NOVEMBER the twelfth 1657. about ten of the Clock It begun with a speaking touching the faith of NOAH in building the Ark and ABRAHAM in offering his Son and so went on concerning Faith BUt faith is that which pleaseth God He takes his walks therein And is above all that men can shew From their own reasonings In Salvation and preservation And victory throughour This faith must rise up to the Lord To fetch and bring all out Faith justifies the will of God And the foreknowledge tree Faith speaks well of electing love Which reason cannot see Faith is the very power of God And life wherein doth lie All blessing and all glory for It pleaseth the most high O then let all know that the Lord Will have his will and way The which the Scripture doth declare And must in us bear sway Whiles this was uttered the Quakers being present spake but could not interrupt for withmore power and swiftnesse the voice went on as followeth None can hinder the mighty word Of the eternall One But the Devil he riseth up And is offended with that tongue The which extolls the glorious God And of him doth declare Against that comes his instruments For it they cannot bear The Devill hates the Spirit should Exroll the eternall breath And that it should advance that God Which giveth saving health The Devil rageth at the truth At that which is most choice To that which is Gods rare workings Me sends condemning voice The Devil cannot hold his peace When God is declaring faith According to election and To foreknowledge high sort But the Devil greatly doth rage And his instruments come Yet O spirit will sing thy praise And extoll the high Son Though all the powers of hell should rise And in their rage come here That shall not stand against that faith Which shines so bright and clear The spirit comes down to slay Devil And break his instruments quire It is sene forth for to witnesse Against thy inward light Thou talk'st of inward light but O For what dost thou it bring It is to oppose the Lord Jesus As Prophet Priest and King Thy light is not Jehova's light 'T is not light or the Son But 't is that Satan hath framed Against the glorious One.

throughout The Spirit moved the waters and The Spirit ordered depths The Spirit gathered the Sea And the dry ground is left The Spirit is very glorious And wonderous in all And the depths doth unto the depths For his high prayses call The Spirit shineth on waters The choice Deity face Did there appear and then waters Did swiftly run apace O they do swiftly ebb and flow That they may praise throughout The sea after its kind doth praise And the springs round about The Spirit moves and all things then Do look most sweet and choyce And all things had its limits set By the Deities voice The Spirit moves on waters and Then day and night comes forth And all things had its due set place This is Scriptures report O when you see the waters and When you the Sea behold O think upon these movings that Such mysteries unfold O the time cometh on apace Those that in darknesse lie Shall be called to wonder at Thy glorious Spirit high The Mâ—rriners that to fro So on the seas abound Shall take notice of Spirit high In its Original Crown Those that thus travel in the depth And on the waters lay Shall then behold the Spirit high In its Creation day They that do on the waters go And the Lords wonders see Shall sweetly rejoyce and sound forth The Spirits high glory The Spirit mov'd on the waters That there the ships might swim That should be made use of after That fallen man did sin The Spirit caused ships to sail That Creation might be The more beheld and there you may The Spirits movings see He gave wisdom for to build ships That his works might appear In their great choice variety To man more bright and clear And that you might learn the more On God in all to look And be carried forth unto him In his Original book It is a delicate spirit which Is in Deity wall The spirit it is very good It comes from him that is all The spirit is Creator too And with the word doth joyne O the spirit is one also In Deity divine The spirit in Original Hath been with God and Christ And also doth proceed from them And is eternal life The spirit on the waters mov'd And great increase did come Of fishes which did multiply And in the waters swom In the waters variety Of fishes that are great And also such as are most sweet And choice delightful meat O what a rare spirit that moved Thus in Creation time A spirit and a lovely one That is high and sublime He made the whale so huge so high And so great every way So strong that it is as a King In the waters to sway Nothing can there before it stand But it wheels all about And hath a perfect victory In the Ocean throughout O the whale overturns ships It is a mighty thing That thus the greatest vessels split And to destruction bring A glorious spirit breathed forth On the waters that it Should thus contain the mighty whale That there as King doth sit For all things are by spirit made It ordered the whole And gave command to every thing In the Creation mold O Job when that thou camest out Thou shalt sing of the whale O thou shalt shew him as a King Over fishes and scale And thou that to God spakest of it When thou shalt see sons reign Upon thy standing tising feet Thou wilt admire the whale Thou wilt admire the spirit In its Creation rare Which so disposed every thing None can to it compare The spirit also it did make The little fishes small And his great power and his love Doth sweetly shine in all O the spirits moving was rare In all his fiery race In every thing it did appear On the Creation face But yet those that go on the sea Cannot thus sing of thee Without the knowledge of the Lord There is no melody But O go to the Marriners And lead them to thy seaâ— That they may read the spirits works In creation compleat Then when they on the waters go They will see spirit there And then they will in every thing Behold the spirit rare O go unto the Marriners Let them unto flesh die And let them relish the spirit And Jesus Christ espie O let them follow Jesus Christ The King of Nations great And they shall then give thanks to thee And run unto thy seat If that poor Marriner were here That in prison hath been Spirit would of the sea and ships Bee talking unto him If that that Marriner were here The spirit would to him sing That sea and ships should be usefull And employed for the King O if that Marriner would come The spirit would him aske Why that he did so often say Love should abide and last O if the prisoners would but mind What in their bonds they say They would act more for Iesus Christ In this back-sliding day If that the prisoners did mind this They would better fruit bring Which should be manisestly seen To all in every thing The spirit is in Creation seen In every Bâ—â—d that sings And in each creature that doth here On earth so sweetly spring O spirit thou art sweetly seen In thy creating houre In all things that here cometh forth In every plant and flower O spirit it sparkels and shines Forth in the Onix stone And in the Berill O spirit It is the rare choice one O the spirit shineth throughout It doth most sweetly look What a pleasant witness is this Wherein so much is put Its spirits influence doth came Trees to look fresh and green Each little sprig for to have sapp Whereon the leaves are seen It causeth blossoms and the fruit It is from spirits blow And his rare workmanship is seen In each garden below The spirit it is greatly seen In the creation all And it is reason that it should Be at the spirits call The spirit also did appear In threefold councill that To raise man-kind out of the dust On his creation sat Three is not spoken of before Nor in this manner nam'd But they are clearly mentioned when Poor man is to bee fâ—am'd That so he might behold them all And think on this love well Though other creatures had the three Yet not so visible Sure the worlds originall cannot Bring forth such a choice sound Le ts look up to this diety For there it doth abound O it doth greatly sparkel there But few can it behold So as to magnify this love That doth such things unfold The honour shew'd to man is great He is pleas'd above all For all are subject unto him At his command and call But when that he was form'd and fram'd He had not breath to breath But then the Lord did it covay And unto him bequeath Incomprehensible this love Dâ—ety breathed in This creature whom they had thus fram'd And given life to him Most glorious was his state and seat Till that an angell bright Became a serpent and
did tempt Him at God law to smite When that they were in Paradise The serpent to them came With his subtill temptations And they yeeld to the same The creature had not honour now In the fields as before O he had loft his glory by This lustfull sinfull gore When that he was in paradâ—se Obedient to the Lord All things submitted unto him And sweetly did accord In a spirit of holiness And when that comes again The Devill he shall be bound up In everlasting chain In the creation of poor man How did the spirit shine O it was a most royall peice That had image divine What exellency did appear And shine in every thing What a choice work-manship was that Which from these three did spring And when that man did walk about And the cattle behold And the Birds which so sweetly sing They did to him unfold The diety and on the deep The spirits breath was choice And all the little birds did sing To man with cheerfull voice And mans work was more Excellent And looked pleasantly I am delighted very much To behold this glory For he was Lord and master then And raised over all And he most sweetly did rejoyce Before his lust and fall O his countenance it was rare His beauty excellent His form and fashion and his grace From very high discent And for him thou hast sweetly brought A most pleasant Psalm here And the Godhead appeares in it Most pretiously and clear O spirit thou didst move on dust O spirit thou didst come And rear up man and breath in him That is the lovely one But O when the serpent did tempt He was disobedient And his image is defaced then And his glory from him rent But notwithstanding this great fall He 's raised through the merit Of thy dear son and by him shall A glorious seat inherit Then in creation of female Thou tookâ—st his rib and bone And did command a sleep on him And didst thy work alone But not a sleep in order to Ioying in body or mind That could not be because it was The rare perfection time It was not a sleep as now wee take But it was a resting sweet And suddenly thou then didst make For him a help most meet But why didst thou lay him asleep O thou didst make him see That he must not be taken in To the work of the Three He must not so presume and reach Though a soul rare and choice Yet he must not attempt to joyn With the great diety voice He is poor dust and must not bee Taken in councell here Though he be of a glorious make He must not here appear The spirit also mov'd herein And opened joynts and bone And did make up a Curious piece Here appear'd three in one And then the work it was compleat Meet help to him is left That so they might in paradise Talke in that sweet choyce breath O then the work it was most pure It looked very sweet O diety the Birds of thee In singing notes did meet Birds Beasts and Plants all thee did praise And were usefull to him In the prime first Creation days Before that man did sin And the most glorious God desired But one thing in this seat To be reserved for himself Amongst his gifts so great And the Devill begins with that And cunningly said it Was good for them but his drift was Mans innocence to split But the spirit the spirit was So choyce so high and rare The serpent could not hit at that Nor his glory lay bare O he could not meedle with that But it was above all It remained bright glorious great Though man had such a fall The glorious tree the gooly tree The knowledge tree so high The fruit that was forbid by God The serpent at did fly The Devill he did fly at it Times at foreknowledg high The Bargain it was very great And much in it did lie The serpent for foreknowledge would Readyly part withall So he might have an insight there He would let all else fall The serpent strikes at foreknowledge To Children it is dear But his destruction is therein For to be seen most clear The serpent he did come and doth With subtilty beguile Poor Eve alas they quickly are With subtil mischief foyl'd And when poor man is fallen he Is like to one amas'd He cannot tell whether to goe But doth about him gase For Birds and Beasts all are against Him that to him before Were in subjection and did yeeld They will not now adore Nor he cannot see as before The paradice sweet shine For sin and Satan had come in And spoyl'd what was divine All things do look ghastly and pale Upon poor fallen man O they do not as heretofore In full perfection stand O they run in the thickets then And hide in darkest place They are ashamed to appear Before the Almighties face But in the Cool God comes and calls Adam where art thou now But Adam was affraid because He did to Satan bow Adam what is become of thee O what doest thou do there O dost thou think from my presence To hide thee any where The serpent hath beguiled thee And thou dost think to hide But thou shouldst have been more watchfull Against temptations side Satan did make thee to beleive That thou shouldst be as God But thou shalt find he did deceive And meet a scourging rod. But O foreknowledge now steps in And for poor man doth plead And discovers election And shew that Christ must bleed O foreknowledge that doth step in And thâ—n the Serpent dyes And he doth wallow in the dust And on the ground doth lye He that once was an Angel bright Is cast down to the Lake And never shall with fallen man Be partaker of Grace And the original of Sin And Satan did take place And so alas did bring about Mans fall and his disgrace Foreknowledge brings election out And doth declare that love And sheweth from Eternitie What cometh from above For in original is set Gods foreknowledge so great And O let not free willers now Account of this a cheat It 's true the Serpent chased man From out the glorious place But O the Serpent could not spoyle His interest in Grace For the Eternal Son steps in Unto poor fallen man And he 's recovered again By a most royal hand According unto foreknowledge And election indeed The Lord doth presently provide This choice and pretious seed This flourishing foreknowledge tree In despite of all soes Doth still indure and stand upright And it shall ever grow It 's the foreknowledge of a God It looks most fresh and green O it appears most pleasantly There 's nothing like it seen But Satan labours many waies At foreknowledge to strike And to eclipse its glory and Saith it was from foresight Of something that poor man should do That it was from sight of worke And thus the Devils instruments Do at foreknowledge pluck But the Tree of foreknowledge stood

O allegorizers they abuse The whole Record throughour And greatly doth wrong the God-man Through whom all doth come out O they confound the whole Scripture And makes it an allegory And so doth depart from the truth And against Gods wisdom fly But glorious God-man doth declare All was in him at first Though in a manger low and poor Nothing could wrong or hurt Shepherds saw glory round about A marvelous great shine And Angels were the messengers To discover Christ high time To shew his birth his lovely birth As to a manger state Yet accompanied with a glorious Host As Angels from the high gate From the gate of power that lovely gate From which the Angels came He is surrounded with glory More bright than any flame Angels John saw about Lamb Throne So did the Shepheard here Behold Angels servants to Christ Though in a manger laid John saw multitude of Angels about God and also the Lamb So Shepheards saw the messengers Being tydings of Christ to Land Angels did not only delight to speak For the Son when as a King But when he as an infant came They do attend on him Angels did not only honour Christ when He on white horse did ride But when he was in manger laid They appeared on his side Angels did not only give their voice When Christ was in glorious height But when he as a servant came They shewed forth great mirth They honour Christ as the royal one For whom spirit doth appear And declareth him unto the World In his rich Gospel dear So that not only Angels but spirit Declares the pretious Son The spirit that mov'd upon waters For him doth sweetly come The spirit comes forth for the Son And honoureth his birth The spirit divided the waters And ordered their depth and height The spirit did for the Son come forth And his over-shadowing shew The spirit that divided water That are in depth below The StarsSun and Moon and every thing That looks so clear and bright The spirit did sweetly declare Also the pretious light He doth to sinners sweetly shew The rich eternal light Light when all in dark chaos lay And also brings in sight The Son that 's light and in his birth Did bring rate gales of wind And doth declare the glorious King That looketh so divine And spirit comes forth in his high works To poor and feebâ—e things And thus he doth to all declare The royal glorious King That so all may see that God he doth Thus that no flash may boast But that all may give honour to Him that is Lord of Host The spirit loves for to make use of The poor low foolish things That so he might thereby exilt The Son as King of Kings The spirit loves to shew himself To those are very poor That he may confound learned Doctors And break the scarlet whore Spirit brings to such the birth of Christ The birth of the noble King That so they may rejoyce in his raigne And of his triumph sing Praised be God for his spirit Ahat honours poor hand-maids vile Who were in the first transgression And did the Creation spoyle Praised be God for the spirit Which looks on fallen ones Tnd comes to the chiefest of sinners With tydings of Salvation Praised be God that hath so much Honoured his dear Son And hath given him such high respect When he in manger did come A birth a joyfull birth indeed Was Christ though at first small Yet O he was most great and high And glorious through all The spirit brought him amongst Doctors And the spirit for him did speake And consuted the Rabbies then And his Fathers wisdom preacht He had no guilt nor filth at all Yet suffered for sin A holy just person he was From the very first conceiving But yet in bloody filthy gore He appeared for thee and me For sinners and rebels he did dye And brought felicitie For sinners which foreknowledge did Call for to see free grace Discovered in his pretious blood Which quickeneth apace God as well as man and man as God In one person did dwell And this strikes down that Harmonie That cannot sing such a knel. But part Christ and under vallew him And take him by peece-meals Therefore they so run astray and Like drunkards from it reele For Christ he is true God and man He so was in first state He so appeared in resurrection At high Ascentions rate And so living creatures him behold Else they could not have worshipt the Lamb For it is Idolatry to worship that Which is a very man But God-man may be worshipped And living creatures so did And Elders clod in white worship'd The Lamb in the Godhead O high death it was honourable And had a lovely Crown That none could take away from him Though they did on him flown But yet they could not have their wills They would have spoiled him quite But not a bone of him must be broke That was preacht in true light Joseph of old the bretheren did So despise and abuse And Joseph here doth follow Christ And his Cross not refuse Joseph must follow Jesus and He must the Cross embrace He waited for the Kingdom and Shewed it in his race Joseph rich Joseph now draws near To honour the Cross there To take in all the types of that man Which shewed the how so rare Joseph of Arimethea did In the time of the Cross appear Though Simon a Cirenian was Compel'd to bear it there A garden inclosed is prepared For the sweet crucified Son A place where he delighted in Lillies to walk among A garden a rich garden's prepared A garden well inclos'd That no swines might there rent and tear Where lay the Sharon rose A garden inclosed for Christ body That no Bulls of Bashan might tear Nor any goring may come in Or rending there appear A garden inclosed for the body Of our Saviour dear Whom in garden so lov'd to walke And alwaies to appear Though a Preacher of grace to all To leave without excuse Yet O he rests in his garden There to him have refuge In a garden a rich garden A sutable garden indeed Was this most pretious body laid Which for sinners did bleed A garden a rich garden which Had all compleat about The wall the door the trees and plants And every thing throughout A garden where new sepulchre was His body in did ly Which was so pure so perfect and So full of fragrancie A new sepulchre where none was laid The lovely body must have To shew he would make all things new When that he rise from grave A sepulchre where no bone or scul For this rare imbalmed body Is prepared from whence he must Rise and mount up on high A new sepulchre he was laid in To shew the Kings honour great That died to take away sin He must have all new and compleat And this is that Lion the which Ezekiel in vision did see It is the Lamb so pure and white
