But like the pleasant Palm-Tree bringing forth 〈◊〉 in Old Age Psal. 92. 14. And the scope of this work being to divert if possible our profane vulgar from 〈◊〉 Sonners to more Christian and Spiritiuall divertisements I hope Your Ladieship need not be ashamed to vouchsafe it the smiling aspect of your favourable counten●●●● To run out upen Your Ladieships Elogies and Applauses Your Vertues are so great and conspicuous and my Stile so low and disproportionable that I dare not much adventure lest I be found deficient Your Pietie and Devotion towards GOD your Equitie towards Mert your Charitable Supplies to indigent Christians your Equabilitie and composednesse of Spirit in all conditions of Life whether Prosperitie or Adversitie are so menifest to all that common Fame if I should insist might easilie put to silence my weak Oratrie It hath pleased GOD Almightie to attend your Ladieship with some singular Providences and extraordinarie Blessings Lord great you suteable Thankfulness As first the LORD hath been pleased to propagat and continue three Noble Ancient and Eminent Families by your happie Ofspring The Lord was graciouslie pleased to make your Ladieship an happie and successfull 〈◊〉 in that wonderful Restauration of our Royal Soveraign the Kings Sacred Majestie without Blood which is one of the great wonders of our Age and whereupon all the World ●●●ked with admiration and astonishment And this your Ladieship did by influencing with Christian Advice as I am informed those who were in power at the time And as this Noble Enterprise at such a time evidenced Masculine Courage and Heroick Magnanimitie so it was an infallible argument of most Christian Humanitie and Superlative Loyaltie There is yet one thing more which I cannot omit deserving great deference being some piece of rariety in this cold Laodicean-like and backslyding Age And that it your Christian-Moderation Prudence and Sobrietie that whileas the most part of People are deviating to some sinful and vicious extreams upon the right hand or the lest some to erroneous giddiness and unconstant levity some to Atheistical loosenoss and profanity Your Ladieship all the time hath keeped the middle line of a golden Mediocrity even the straight course of solide sober and substantious Christianity Which I am confident shall afford your Ladieship unspeakable Peace and Comfort here and conduct you to Eternall Felicity hereafter And this shall be the constant Prayer of him who it Urquhart Iune 6 1683. MADAM Your Ladieships most obsequious and devouted Servant in CHRIST VVILLIAM GEDDES Preface to the READER IT is not a new nor strange thing to teach Religion by way of Songs We find the most material and Spiritual subjects in all the Sacred Scriptures not only by way of precept enjoyned but also according to divine precept delivered in Songs Moses the choice Man of God is observed to make the first Hexameter verses in Hebrew in that super-excellent gratulatory Song Exod 15. upon the miraculous deliverance of Israel at the Red Sea Did not the Lord command Moses to teach the People of Israel in a Song Deut. 31. and chap. 32. His manifold mercies their horride and base unthank fulness the formidable consequents of their ingratitude to wit fearful Iudgements Which is indeed an abridgment of all Prophecies Beside the Book of Psalms penned for the most part by David and some by Moses and others which by some is called the marrow of Scripture we have as Spiritual and Soul ravishing a book as in all the Scripture delivered in Songs to wit the Song of Solomon which being well understood holds forth most pathetically the sweet most intimat and heart-transporting communion betwixt Christ his Spouse the Church Moreover we have the Song of Isaiah Isai. Chap. 12. Of Habbakkuk Chap. 3. ● 17. The Song of Zacharias Luk. 1. 67 68. c. The blessed Virgin and Elizabeth at the rising of the Sun of Righteousness upon the Horizon of a sinful World or the Nativity of our Blessed Saviour Luke 2 42 46. c. And finally we have the heavenly Halelujahs of Angells and Saints in the Church triumphant delivered in Songs Rev. 15 3 4. 19 5 6. The Blessed Apostle of the Gentiles not only enjoyns to sing Psalmes but also Hymns and Spirituall Songs Ephes. 5 19 Col. 3 16. The reason of all this seems to be that the elegancy of the Poetical stile and accuratnes of the forme together with the harmonious melody of the tune or aire in singing may induce people to the more frequent perusing these subjects of the greatest consequence for meditation and may take the deeper impress in the memory for delightful retention It is looked upon as one of the most edifying works that ever the Protestant Reformers in Germany attempted that in imatation as it were of the primitive patern of the ancient Jewish Church they reduced the most of Christian Religion into Spiritual Songs which the German Protestants are continually singing to this day when they are upon journey when about their secular employments morning and evening and at all occasions I have been much longing for the like work in the English Language for reclaming if possible our profane vulgar from obscene bawdy Songs which are most scandalous to our profession to more Christian-like divertisements but have not as yet found such a thing don methodically and fully I find indeed many excellent Poems upon scattered select subjects farre more accurat then mine and some godly ballads written by pious and devout Ministers at several occasions which I acknowledge Contain very good matter and to my certain experience I have found them very useful for edification and raising the affections of some devout persons and have often wished that all these godly Songs should be Collected and Printed in one Book Yet in them all I desiderat a methodical coherence and confirmation by Scriptures and some other illustrations for satisfying the Judicious I have attempted according to my mean Talent to break the Yce and lay a foundation for others of more excellent parts to bring such a work to some perfection I have not sought for a sublime losty stile nor hunted after pedantick expressions or Romantick phrases partly that the Treatise might be usefull and

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

it is for sin A corrosive to cure A purging portion is therein To make thee clean and pure I 'll wean thee from the world thereby That clearly thow mayest see There is no Happinesse but I And heavens felicity 6. Afflictions fire must thee refine And trie thy Christian grace Therefor see thou do not repine If thow wouldst see my face Affliction makes thee mynd thy God Before thou went to stray O come thou then and kiss that Rod That leads in Heavens way 7. This keeps thee from the fire of hell This quickens all thy grace This makes thee sympathize with all Who want their due solace This puts thee furth to read and pray And watch against thy sin This keeps thee from a dreadfull day That favour thou mayest find 8. This makes thee mercy more to prize And then with thankful voice Thow'lt praises to thy God devise With all melodious noise And even in midst of all thy tears I will thee recreate With Cordials so that all thy cares Shall quicklie be delete 9. When all this work is done then sure My rod I will remove For now performed is the cure In mercie much and love Th' event shall alwayes prove full Good The Crown is by the Cross. Thou shalt at last find that indeed Thou didst sustain no loss 10. I out of darkness can bring light Of bitter I bring sweet Confusions all I order right And do that which is meet The' Chymist doth of stones extract Liquors medicinal The sharpest crosses I will make Ev'n for thy good befall 11. My wisdom pow'r and goodness great My truth and justice pure By this they alwayes Glory get Therefore thou must endure Cast thou thy burden on the Lord And he shall thee sustain O praise Him all with one accord His grace doth still remain SECTION III. Promises of spiritual and eternal blessings being the principal positive mercies 1. Come and admire the crystal streams Of overflowing grace Admire the radiant rayes and beams Of this fair Phebus face He 's Ocean-full His Treasure great Is inexhaustible The matchless mercies which I got Are inexpressible 2. He 'll freely pardon all my sins He will make up my peace My blessed LORD will favour win Through His abundant grace For honour He 'll adopt me sure To be the great Kings Son Yea Kings and Priests Advanc'd shall be Beleevers every one 3. I 'll be a Pillar in GODS House A new Name will he give And white Stone for absolviture That I may ever live With Gold of grace He 'll me inrich With robs of righteousness He will me cloath and this excells All Silk and Sattin dress 4. The Man of sin He 'll mortifie He 'll wholly me renew With his good Sp'rit He 'll Sanctify With grace He 'll me endow He 'll take from me the stony Heart A new Heart will he give So from his Laws I 'll not depart And ever blessed live 5. My Judgement he will so renew That I shall then discern What e're he in his word doth shew I will delight to learn My will shall to the best incline My conscience shall be pure Nothing but objects all divine My Soul shall then endure 6. I 'll serve God with a filial fear I 'll love God and his way His Saints to me shall be most dear Who do his words obey I 'll mourn for sin I 'll hate the same I shall rejoyce to see All men extolling Gods great name With Zeale and fervencie 7. I will rejoyce to find my LORD For my great portion My hope I 'll fix upon his word Which brings Salvation I 'll Blush t' offend my Heav'nly King My anger 's turn'd to zeale I shall oppose each sinful thing When grace it shall prevail 8. Faith Hope and charity will he Into my heart infuse With Righteousness and piety So his way will I chuse The Rubies ar but Rubish naught The Saphir's not so fine As is the saint from Heaven taught Adorn'd with grace divine 9. If I be blind and cannot see His Eye-salve shall me cure If I be Deaf He 'll open eares His Word and Sp'rit to hear If I be Lame He 'll make me go Into the wayes of GOD His suppling Oyle keepes me from toyle And makes me walk abroad 10. If I be Tongue-tyed He 'll unty My tongue that praises sing I may even to Eternity Unto JEHOVAH King Both milk and wine he will afford And Manna for my food With Crystall-streams He 'll me refresh I 'll want nothing that 's good 11. So then with GOD is made my peace With men and Angels too Each creature then shall me embrace And all their service do Access I have to throne of Grace My Prayer he doth hear The smilings of His blessed face Doth all my spirits cheer 12. Assurance fills me so with joy That I cannot express I 'm sure nothing can me annoy No Creature more or less My Burges bill with heav'ns quill Is so confirm'd to me From Satan sin I 'll fear non ill Though they great tyrants be 13. The moral Law with threate and frown And with its rigid strain Brings me no condemnation No curse no pinching pain And for the Ceremonial rite It never hath me ty'd For CHRIST fulfilled all of it When on the Cross He dy'd 14. Indifferent things they do not bind If there no scandal be I may or not if that I find No breach of Charitie Pale death who is of terrours King unto the reprobate CHRIST hath of him bereav'd the sting I shall him soon Defeate 15. Death 's but to me a gate therefore And passage unto rest And Harbinger to Heaven to Gloir Which is of all the best So shall I in that Heav'nly quire For ever blessed Live Fulness of joy at his right hand For ever will he give SECTION IV. Blessings Temporal with the Christians confidence and Holy Resolution upon the consideration of all these gracious promises 1. THe spacious Earth is all the LORDS And all that it contains What e're the Universe affords And all that there remains I 'll make all creatures serve thy turn For I 'm their Soveraigne LORD I 'm Lord of Hosts why should'st thou mourn They all obey my word 2. Life Honour health with ease and wealth Prosperity and peace Thou shalt enjoy and ay endure Thou and thy blessed race Here profit pleasure honour 's joyn'd what more can any crave From Grace to Glory He 'll conduct And never He his leave 3. I 'll triumph over hell and death Ov'r sin and Satan fly I 'll trust in God whill I have breath To have the victory My Foes he 'll trample all alongs My sin he 'll doe away My sorrows
