thrones their place And they do worship and fall down Before the Kings rich grace All Sinai arguments shall then Fall and confounded be It is no errour and fancy But a true prophesy O you that will and do so plead For this obedience here Against a tisen Christ indeed Hee l come and it cashiere Haleluja Haleluja to The King that showers down And all those goodly flowers blasts That are from Sinai ground Haleluja Haleluja is Amongst the Angels dear Who do delight in Jesus Christ And unto him are near The Angels are about his throne And for him they will speak And so doth Iohns sweet vision Highly commend his seat O Iohn o thou didst see the Son And Fathers honour high And the Angels that do delight About the throne to fly And thou didst sing Haleluja's note In the most glorious sound And all this it is coming forth Babylon to confound O thou shewest all croking frogs Should fall into the lake Though now they testifie against Christ And at his spirit gape Iohn thou hadst lovely visions sweet Thou sawest witness die And thou sawest them revive againe And Babylonians fly And thou declaredst of their fall That they should surely dye Thou also sawest the Kings raigne 'T was he opened thy eye O Iohn thou didst see holy ones Round about the Kings throne That often had sighed for Christ With many a longing grone O thou shewedst the lovely Bowe About the seat so high Which no Babylonians can approach For it will make them fly O Iohn thou sawest and didst write Through the spirit most choice And didst cry Haleluja With a sweet praysing voice Thou excellent beloved one Thy visions were most clear Thou enteredst and hadst a sight And didst the voices hear 'T was thou that shewedst the eternal Which from God forth did come And didst witness unto the same For him that is the Son And Iohn thou also dost declare Unto the Godhead high That amongst men did take a seat And for sinners did die Thou shewest the resurrection And what ' gainst foes should be And speakest of the voice of speech And of that high glory Thou then was drawn so neer to it And enterance didst make To view the bright rare shining son That did thee to him take Up invision in Patmos Isle O there he did appear The same Lord Jesus whom thou lovest In bosome to lye neer O glorious is the vision Lord Of the latter dayes time And yet this generation Doth not the vision minde Except it be through Rabbi's voice Their wise and prudent men But few of these did see the Sun He w'ant made known to them O how did Iohn weep untill that The Book was opened But then he soon was raised up And in him rejoyced That was found worthy to unseal O he did take delight To see what latter flock should have In his clear vision light He saw the Candlesticks of Gold So pure so fair and bright And view'd the Stars the which also Were brought unto his sight He loved for to behold the throne And one the Elders look And rejoyc'd at the opening Of the Lambs sealed Book This loving John this loving John How still he higher goes And also he the Gosple preach'd To sinners and to foes But when he comes to see the throne O how joy did abound O then he sung Haleluja to The Lord for his high Crown When he into the City comes That was so paved with Gold O he rejoyced very much In that perfect rare mold When he into the City comes Where the fresh Rivers be He is refreshed and doth pluck Fruit from the living tree When he into the City comes O there he doth behold The marvelous rich shine there is Brighter then any Gold When he into the City comes Where Christ is admired How glad is he to see the Lord His Saviour and his head O what a lovely way is this That the spirit him led To see and to behold the Lamb That for his sins had bled O what a dilicate sight had John When spirit did him call To see his Saviour so dear The City and the wall The walls and Bulworks he did see That be so very strong O it was a choice sight indeed None can this City wrong Alas poor souls you can't it see You can't tell what is here Except it be for that vision That in Patmas appear'd You gaze and hear a while I know Some wonder for to see But O you cannot so take in This pretious melody Alas you cannot see it so You don't this glory know O that you did see Jesus Christ It would make your hearts to glow O
to tables of stone To honour and set up a day ' Gainst the beloved one O then shee 'l say why did you so Much for old Covenant plead When that the Gospel you did own Should you not Sinai leave O she will love the spirits Law And for it she will goe And they that run away from it Shall surely have a blow O shee will not then start aside Shee 'l not arguments bring To strike at the new Covenant That concerneth her King O what a glorious time is that That brings the Jubily year O how can they do any thing Against this to appear O my heart and head pained is To think what will become Of them that after so much love Do goe against the Son O it doth paine and wound my heart In fellowship to hear That against the new Covenant Poor Children should appear O blessed King O blessed King O who lays it to heart So as to wrastle much with thee To arise and take his part That is risen up and lifted high O come and break all down That is against new Covenant And resurrection Crown Thou bringest here a spirit Lord Which for poor Children crave Yet they do not regard the song But when I am layd in grave Some shall then witness for this mouth And say a song indeed 'T was that here to us was brought down Souls to cheer up and feed Come poor souls hear the lovely sound It will give your hearts ease Think not that poor one here doth speak Be not at it displeas'd Though the vessell be very meane Wherein this Counsell be Yet O come and partake of it And do not from it flye O it is not of Croatures make O had you but a taste You would not run away from it But unto it would haste O it is not a mixed food It gives counsell to all It doth not lead from Scripture rule But doth poor sinners call O the King liketh well of it And you that are his sheep Do not bring weapons ' gainst it but Indeavour him to meet And O dear souls O you that do So drink in this choice wine O have a care that nothing may Intice you with words fine And come you poor complaining souls That walks so neer to ground O come you and embrace this love O hear the joyfull sound O what am I O what am I But a poor silly one A bruised reed thou mak'st abide That cannot stand alone But o my strength is from above It doth come forth from thee Which makes me so it flam'd with love And so in singing be It is a glorious speech indeed And a most mighty voice O that poor souls knew more of it It is glorious and choice Lord thou giv'st much and here dost come Thanks be given to thee O take it I it here present It s thine it s not from me And thou sayst so I will dear Child Then Father I am content To suffer for thy sake awhile And for thee to be spent O Lord thou dost oft take me up From every Creature here And I shall have a time with thee That are to me so dear O Lord I love to talk with thee And when up and down I go My soul is grieved very much And thou dost know it is so And therefore saith I le take thee up And thou shalt be with me And drink of my Salvation Cup I am glad to be with thee And well content to be taken From all beloved's here That so I may walk with my God And see him shine more clear Eternall word thou hast spoken I do take heed to thee For thou art the sure word indeed And the true Prophecie No Errour could me lop o Lord From the high glorious tree O I will boast of Iesus Christ In this sweet harmony Nothing could ever draw me from Owning a scripture Christ And I shall still be kept to him And to 's word all my lifs I long I long to sing over Hell death and also grave Yet I am content here to abide With testimony brave I long to be cloathed upon And to awake and sing And yet I am content to be A witness for the King O blessed be God for that life Makes me not value any Because thou are unto my soul Above beloved's many I love them-all so that I would Not have them their posts bring To jussle against his that is The blessed glorious King O blessed daies o blessed nights O let fresh praises spring For what the spirit doth bring forth Let the Creation sing O let the Cattle praise the Lord Upon a thousand Hills O that the Birds also with praise The earth throughout may fill And o let every thing also That creepeth on the ground Which was not brought forth by sins slime To him high praises sound But o let sinners know that do Still in Rebellion walk It will be sad for them that have So much oppos'd and talk'd Against the spirit in that day Wherein it call'd from sin Such shall meet with reproof from Christ And have a check from him Let none reject the living voice But let it take effect And carry out poor souls to thee That will not them reject O spirit doth come forth to them With tidings of great joy O let it take the heart for thee And nothing shall annoy O then the lips shall gratious bee And the King will them own Else he cannot love and regard Nor shew his glorious throne O that they may come unto thee And here the Gospel sound Which Satan cannot come to reach For grace doth there abound O what a royall day is this A blessed time most sweet O could you relish it poor soules You would great comfort meet But O Companions I do know You prize it very much And you do deeply drink of it For you have had a touch Companions I am glad for you I know you have been fed And you have talked with the Son In what the spirit hath said Companions I do know you love And like pomgrannet cheer I know you also understand When emblems do compare I know you have received in The pleasure of this day Therefore spirit teacheth to praise For Companions alwayes O surely you are here this day Now fitted for much more That shall come forth from Jesus Christ From his rich pretious store O will you wait here many daies Will you from pleasures fast Me thinkes I here companions say Yea while the vision lasts O you Companions witness shall Unto these things so choice And shall plead for the song alway Through the spirits voice O praise the Lord for Companions Through whom witness doth come For matters that have here been brought Through the Eternall Sonne Haleluja Haleluja Lord For companions I will sing And praises shall be given here Because they have not been Carried about nor yet intic'd From thee by any means And they shall he e meet with reproof If on Creatures they leane Haleluja
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 others at your feet The spirits sweet anointings souls O what will they not do Go to the Lord for the spirit In his discoveries new A holy spirit souls it is Which you have seen this day And the spirit hath come forth here In the Creation way O love spirit which doth so come In first Creation sound And see the progress he hath made And none shull you confound O in the dayes of vision You shall spirit behold And be affected much with him That shineth more than Gold He is a glorious royal one He is eternal Light It is reason you should wait on him That is so high and bright O come dear souls come and try it See if it be not more Than any spirit that 's on earth Or hath been heretofore O come poor souls come peevish ones O come and now draw near And tell me souls if any do So 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 messenger most sweet That cometh from the King O come and try the spirit spirit souls O it is full of love And it is sent forth unto you It cometh from
Sin hath so much here checkt And a Body must thus declare And for poor sinners shew Therefore this Body must not want A finger nor a toe For the Body Father sent downe Which was Virgin body pure It was compleat from head to foot This body shall indure This body the Father sent out It was prepared of old And came forth in sweet Virgin state Though laid in manger mold This prepared body dear God It was compleat and choice And thou didst send it forth in time With a choice Virgin voice This body in Virginity Takes up its lodge therein Though it comes from the mighty throne Virgin womb must it bring O what a glorious body 's this That from eternity sprung And did declare Virginity To the rebellious Sons A glorious body it was when With Father it did lodge And a glorious body when that it In Virgin had refuge When in womb and in birth O it Had there no bloody gore A Virgin pure white and clean and Such as nere was before A Virgin cleane a glorious state That was brought forth thus here O it was of a glorious make And without filth appeared But a most glorious Son O God Provided in body to come And though an Infant yet it was A pure Virgin white one And no cry was found in his mouth No sin that did make cry But O the glorious Son did come Not with such sinfull cry A blessed body God prepared A body free from all From sin from filth from lust from fear When forth to manger calld A body and prepared indeed So glorious and so bright Who had no voice ' gainst Herod though He against him did fight A glorious body that came forth In a choice mysterie A delicate one that was most fair And did not in blood lye A delicate rare Child was Jesus And he looked fair at first And no washing he needed for He had no sinfull lust A glorious body a glorious Child That did not whimpering speake But O delicate countenance Was upon that slain sheepe Most delicate when it was in womb And when it in manger lay And when on the Cross and in grave Nothing took it away A rare Body was Jesus Christ In all his passages here And a glorious body he is in His intercession deare A body that God did appoint The Mediator to A body to suffer for sin And to make old things new A body and a body brought For poor ones to admire And O let souls advance him and Still unto him retire O this body pleaseth my soul It is not so with you two Then praise is unto spirits Psalme That brings this body new The Scripture shews this body bright And Spirit brings a Psalme Then poor hearts why are you troubled For such a double arme Of a Body the Psalme sings now Which from the grave was brought O don't then cry up other things Which is a mixed draught But come and praise the Psalme that brings The whole body so choice For Christ he is the first and is Second Resurrection voice Pray be not displeased at the Psalm And say it 's mixed here Because the body of Jesus Christ So prepared doth draw near Pray do not bring your argument ' Gainst Christ but to him come For you must bend and bow to him That is the only Son And if spirit this body brings O eate and take your fill And do not so oppose what the Spirit so sweetly brings Learn of the Apostles learn of them Which of spirit so did write And O do not reject it when It cometh down in sight See what report that it doth make Of Jesus and his Crown And if so then O bretheren Leave not though some do frowne For Spirit Christ doth say it will Take of his and shew you O do not refuse offers of Christs dispensations new Bretheren O be faithfull to Christ You profess him to love O then give up your selves when that He comes thus from above Bretheren you say that you love Christ Pray then let it appear And don't object against that which Doth draw his body near If the prepared body will ride Upon an asses colt O do not say 't is not the King And so from him revolt For although the King is upon A meane low kicking Colt Yet he is King and doth need that His glory to unfold Christ chuseth poor low and mean things Lay's aside Rabies skill And sends for the poor asses colt All bosting for to kill Christ needs poor things because great ones So much do him prescribe Christ will not give them the glory That in him wo'not confide Christ needs poor things to shew spirit Which is so high in power Because the wise will not embrace It in his way and bour But they mix some of their own clay And of their puddle here With that which is holy droppings And from him doth appear O Christ doth come in such a way And in such mystery that Most say O 't is a foolish King That lays his honour flat What a King and ride on asses colt When that it is so small O sure this is not the great King Who is the onely all But Christ minds not the scoffers nor For scorners doth he care But he doth call for the poor asse And rides his journey rare How ere he comes be glad if he VVill set you on your feet If that he will instruct you how You may the Saviour meet This body as the Father sends Be sure him so to take As he wa kes with dispised ones And with the poor doth eate And is filling their Vials with His odours most compleat The Lord Jesus is that body Which took so low a seat O can you the Psalme understand It is brought by a plain mouth And it will please God if you take It in its degrees throughout Then observe the Psalme of degrees Before you away do goe Or else you will it greatly blame And surely have a blow Therefore O now take in the Psalme In its high and low degree That brings a body so prepared O that you might it see Do you then beg Faith from on high From the most blessed seat That you may see that body which In glory is compleat And was so before thus he came He did all things espie A body prepared a body With glorious Deity But yet not as Beaumont reports For he doth allegorize The body was with Deity But not as he describes The body prepar'd before time Was in the deities sight But notionises of the body They doe not speak aright They spoyl great mysteries because They cannot bring them out But by an allegory or by A high speculative mouth But O true crucified Christ Teacheth us mysteries here And O he bringeth down a Psalm Which is most pure and clear A glorious body Christ needs must be Who takes in threefold light Who takes in one and three also Even the Godhead might That must all glorious be Who

raised For he had been lifted high And instructed in School most pure Of the eternity O Iohn was often taken up And had a view I know Which made him love and speak so much Of loves hid flaming glow O Iohn by spirit he was led And whether did he goe To read in the Originall Great mysteries to know Iohn a brave witness unto truth In Patmas did remaine For testimony unto Christ And it was Eternall gaine In Fathers bosome he was layd And mercy seat did see And he obtained glorious things From the bright Diety O Iohn what afterwards must be Desired much to know And therefore press on to it And

should meddle to declare The matters of the King John will not be displeased that They sit about the throne And go unto original And nothing else will own John he will not oppose and speak Contesting against that But O John will be pleased with What layeth flesh so flat O John will not condemn the song But rejoyce that the King Hath hand-maids that are risen up To speak the truth for him O John O

his comings down In all his glorious victory To have his Martyrs fam'd Companions O how sweet is Christ His righteousness is great He is a very faithfull one That sits one royal seat O Christ was kind to Patriarchs And to Apostles there He is kinde unto Jew and Gentiles Though Anti-christians tear He is kinde to poor hearts although Unbelief would them flay Yet Christ he keeps them and doth make Them to observe his way Christ must be observed aright By those that sing his praise Or else they walk not with the Lord Though they keep holy days If Christ be not observ'd in all Great fault hee 'l with you finde But O with spirit he doth walk In his choice rushing winde Companions are you pleas'd with Christ And with his doctrine too Though it in Psalm be poured forth A course that is so new Doe you praise for Christ doctrine and Psalm Which here he doth so bring O then how greatly you will be Reviv'd when spirit doth sing Hath this day to Companions been A teaching day most sweet Which hath so witnessed against Perjur'd rebellious seat The voices which have gone this day Even in their meetings all Have not held forth the whole body To which spirit doth call And though that Children have met Different from the apostates traine Yet there meeting is not aright Nor of new Covenant straine Though Children have met this day And great prayer seems to sound Yet God doth not accept that which Is not on new Covenant-ground O that Children would not so rise Against the doctrine sweet Which is for the whole body prepar'd To set on royall seat O that poor ones would thank spirit That in love so doth come For to overthrow that which is Not pleasing to the Son Poor hearts why doe you wrangle with me Alas what am I herein But O you wrangle against him That great teachings doth bring Poor hearts doe not wrangle with me I am but poor and small I cannot answer your wranglings But leave it to Christ my all I dare not argue with you for I shall spoyl these high things Therefore I doe refer you to him That most rightly doth bring A confirmation from his word For what the spirit said And let thousands come forth to me In spirit I 'le ingage I dare not else engage with one
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 with living Coal Poor ones here to rouse up That they may appear ' gainst Babylon And by the roots up pluck O Seraphims coal if thou dost touch They will to thee accord And quickly rise for Jesus 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

They therefore are to be reprov'd As slighters of the Son And as underminers of what For Jehova did come And spirit reproves Rabbies also The gross and the refin'd For they are also of those that Do si ly ones beguile Though Rabbies say we have left sure word Yet they shall know ere long That spirit doth preach the Gospel Forth with the soundest tongue Though Rabbies fall off from the Lamb That is most pure and clean Yet they shall see 't is the spirit of power Which on our souls do erne Alas poor Rabbies you are not Like unto those of old For they were not so lifted up Above Christ pretious folde O people are deluded and They have been many a year Ere since Antichrist come on the stage They have been beguiled every where Though old Dr. Apostles preacht And Christ himself did learne Yet O they are besotted with Antichrist stinking leven Though Christ speaketh of latter days Wherein he would his spirit pour In such choice great variety They 'l not believe it in its hour And Christ saith that before it shall come Lyin words and many a cheat Against the spirit and the Son And his most glorious seat And they do say how shall we know Between true and the false But God he sends his spirit forth For to shew what is dross And true spirit doth take in Scripture By faith no allegories And it doth shew forth Jesus Christ In 's birth death and his rise And the spirit it sheweth forth Christ In his offices and we may see The three in one and one in three In divine diety The spirit shewed the true God In true man here to dwell And thus shewed the choice rare one Through forth the joyfull knel. The spirit shewed the figures And all the choice rare tipes And the sweet emblems which before Did come for Jesus Christ And it shewed that Christ is enjoyed By the indwelling spirit By its witness and Testimony Unto the Godheads merit True spirit doth shew that Christ is enjoyed By a sweet lively faith The which comes from the Son of God And is no tattle and prate True spirit shews when Christ is enjoyed By faith we then up rise To the pleasure of God in Christ And appear holy in his eyes True spirit shews when Christ's enjoyed The soul is justified and sanctified too And that it goes to him alone For Conversation new True spirit leads forth unto Christ And then to be baptized Not as notionist say 't is all in spirit And plain Scripture despise But true spirits honours the Son And his out goings too It honours the head and all that he Would have his members do True spirit don't bring head without members Nor head and members without a way Wherein they sweetly together may talk Of the rich Ascention day But true spirit takes head and members And shews Christ lovely way And gives direction how they should Act towards him in this day Spirit sheweth forth Christ and his way How they should act and speak And discovers that worship which Their Souls should undertake Companions forsake not the assembly Of Saints it is most dear But seek it in the way of Christ Which most lovely doth appear Companions don't deny fellowship Nor the ordinances sweet If that you do spirit will reprove And tell you you embrace a cheat But Companions witness to ordinances And to true fellowship For Jesus Christ is held forth there Before him a garden compleat Companions you may take this comfort From Christ Doctrine this day That you have a good conscience though Other make of you a prey Companions this doctrine exhorts you To walk chearfully along That you may honour the spirit And grow for Christ more strong Companions be exhorted now Alwaies to watch and pray That so you may hold forth spirit Most lively in your way Companions be exhorted to Cleave unto Spirits Psalme Which is so full of doctrine That will our poor hearts warme Companions be exhorted to esteem This doctrine in a Psalms Because t is of our Davids love And sheweth forth Solomons arme Companions be exhorted to Trust in your power high For assistance when so many do Against the truth so fly Dear companions we exhorted are To depart from consusions all And every principle and practise That doth new covenant inthrall Companions we are exhorted to Praise the new covenant high Because our dear Saviour did once So willingly for us die That so we may not account low Nor bring objections against that But keep close to refurrection Which will lay all enemies flat Companions we thus exhorted are That none may take away our Crown The which we do enjoy in this Upon true Paradise ground O Companions we are exhorted That none may rob us heer Of the rare white stone and new name Which so pretious doth appear Companions the time of love is sweet In paradice pure ground O it doth smell most delicate Let us it compassround Let us compass the Tabernacle Where the golden Pot of Manna stands Which will fill and nourish our souls In journying to the pleasant land O we shall see our Aarons rod And delight in its buddings there In its coming forth against the foe It will all enemies tear Companions the white stone looks bright It is a lovely one It is elect choice and pretious Le ts go unto this stone O frends let us follow the starr That leads up to the Throne Which is that lovely spirit for which We have sighed and groan'd A beloved star dear Companions A glorious star indeed Which the Father hath bestowed on us With which he doth us feed O let us dearly prise that star That leads unto the King Let us follow it allwaies For it will thither bring The star conducted the wise men But not Herod though he Said where is the Babe I le worship him I le also go and se But the Lord God he doth discover Such in there practice still For though he said I le worship him It was that he might him kill Companions let us keep our eye Still fixed on the son And let us prise him very high How ever he doth come Converse with the spirit in Scripture That right models you may know Be ashamed of what you have done amiss And he will the pattern show We shall have direction and guide Both what to do and say In all our practices throughout In this the latter day We shall be ready to receive Of our Lord when that we Are made ashamed of our wayes We shall his glory see When
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 been opened quite And manifested unto you Exceeding dear and bright The Apostles rule hath been declar'd Wherein poor ones should walk Which Jesus Christ would have you know In thought in deed and talk O then dear ones do you follow This Gospel which is pure And prise the Apostles doctrine Which alwaies shall indure It was confirm'd by miracles And wonders which were great By that mighty powerfull spirit Which gave it forth compleat O prise the Apostles doctrine It Antchrist throws down And it exalteth Jesus Christ And his most blessed Crown Practise the Apostles doctrine Faith and Baptisme they did preach And afterwards you see that they After true fellowship did reach Repent and be Baptil'd said they For remission of sinne Into the name of Jesus Christ Which doth salvation bring Repent and be Baptised and then Walk you in fellowship For unto all his ordinances You ought for to submit He will shew you his administrations Most purely and compleat That are ashamed of their 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
