noyse against Independents as If Independency had no relation nor dependancy upon God nor no part in David of whom I I will give thee my reason or opinion without ryme think thee what thou wilt That they in their spirits have smelt such a savour of thy holy anointing which hath such an Adamantick drawing that makes them thus violently to run after Christ I it is the Common Song Master we well follow thee whereseever thou goest Of these I could instance in particulars But I leave that for a second part Vale. Something on the Lords Prayer WE whose conception Matter and our being Are the out-flowings of a noble Nature Immortall Seed infused with agreeing And sweet consenting hath produc'd a Creature Old things are past and now we do behold New things appearing daily in our sight Substantiall living breathings manyfold By which we say Our Father as by right Father of Spirits Oh how glad are we To call upon thee by the Name of Father We are thy off-spring loe we flee to thee And like the Eagles to thy body gather Sweetnesse it selfe thy Name doth so import We are thy Children and thy sons by birth We will not speak of thee by bare report For our affections are not on the Earth Thou art our Father and wee 'le hang on thee Wee 'le take no thought for thou dost still provide Wee 'le take no care in thee we shall live free We have no helper in the earth beside Father we need not aske thee where thou dwellest But we will come and see if thou give leave Then bid us come the way that thou compellest By hand of Love which never did deceive We know where thou dost dwell and where thou art in low humility thou dost delight There are thy heavens there thou dost impart Those noble uisions ravishing the sight Father shew us thy Glory we desire 〈◊〉 We faln would see thy Glory i●hen gieep Where panting Soules short breathings do aspire and the Records of thy embracings keep Now Hallowed be thy sweet and pretious Name Thy nature and thy Name are highly prized With Songs of praise we will declare the same Yea with new songs which Nature hath devised We cannot chuse but tell thy noble praise Thy pratling babes in time may learne to speak Yea we will spread our garments in thy wayes And goodly branches we will cut and break Wee 'le strew thy waies with songs and bring thee home Unto thy dwelling and thy place of rest Wee 'le bring thee to thy temple then wee 'le come And sit and hear thy wisdome which is best For thou art mighty in humility Therein thy greatnesse most of all appeareth Mighty in doing good a Majestie To which our Spirits most of all endeareth Great is thy Name and thou hast given strength Unto thy little ones for to declare it If we should hold our peace the stones at length Would melt and cry they could not long forbear it Oh let thy Kingdome come wee long for that That thou might'st raign and rule among the Nations And that those daring walls may fall down flat That do include such strange abominations With scepter of thy Love so oversway That brood of Gyants that as yet possesse The goodly hills thy captives lead away In chaines of Love their fury to suppresse Though Scepter of thy Kingdome do compell Yet such compulsion we are glad to bear To bear thy yoke we are contented well and thy commands not grievous do appear Thy Kingdome comes and we are well content To wait upon thy will and thy command If we should live out of this Element Then we should perish quickly out of hand What is thy will we will Weel 'e not repine to see thy will effected but desire It may be done in all that 's called thine In all affections low or raised higher Nought comes amisse to us for we have learn'd To be content withall things that befall us In every thing we can and have discern'd Thy hand of providence for to impale us Give us in this our day our living Bread The childrens bread for whom it is provided That we may live thy life let us be fed As thou wast wont let it be still divided For every eye of Faith lookes up to thee For satisfying food and thou suppliest Their biting wants with blessings rich and free Come all that will for thou no soule deniest This is the staffe on which wee 'le alwayes leave And by this staffe we past through Iordans flood The staffe of youth and in our Age we meane To make it all our stay and chiefest good If with this bread thou 'lt feed our fainting soul And satisfie with life our Soules desire If thou our names wilt in thy Book inroul To wear thy cloathing and thy known attire If thou wilt cloath our spirits in that white That perfect white and righteous robes divine If with thy spirit thou wilt ours unite That it may never be at odds with thine Then thou shalt be our everlasting stay Wee l seek no other fortresse to Secure us In thee wee 'l hide our selves in heat of day And in the night thy presence shall secure us Father we are in debt and cannot pay Unlesse thou make us able we shall perish Forgive our debts that we in freedome may Recover strength and our conceptions cherish We are indebted and ingag'd to yeeld Perfect obedience by thy law of love But when we wander in this mighty field Seeking our selves lost better things above But as we are indebted we have those That are in debt to us which daily wrong us Which constantly with might and maine oppose Our best endeavours yet they live among us Those we forgive and give them meat to eat And drink to drink and fain would overcome Their evill with our Good but they still threat To worke our utter ruine all and

tell And of thy wonders true Relation make How they have past the deeps in heaven and hell Through deep temptation They have past along Accounting it their Joy because they saw Thy leading hand which ne're directed wrong And from those deeps can sweet contentment draw For well we know the mighty Kingdomes thine And of thy Kindome there shall be no end Though other Kings and Princes do repine Yet with thy
