God he is a Spirit and Jesus Christ is the same And Spirit takes of God and Christ And declares in his name O what a glorious one is this O what a lovely spirit That shineth here so pleasantly And from them doth inherit As soon as Spirit it doth move The Sea quickly appears O the waters are cleansed and The mud it doth cashire The spirit gathers the waters And then in creeks about And in channels he sends them forth And giveth springs
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

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 All Cheaters for to fear O thou dost bring us to the shore Where living Creatures be And we behold the glory and We do thy power see O victory I sing O Lord Against the lying mouth O Halleluia I sing 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 And at out-goings tear The glory of the Lord is here O then let Children Behold his power and Majesty And stand in aw of him Unto thy children thou wilt give What is to thee most dear O thou wilt shew kindnesse to them That unto thee draw near O thou art faithfull unto them They shall with comfort meet That â—o keep close to Jesus Christ And prize his spirit sweet O blessed be the glorious Lord He will with us abide And will appear ' gainst those that do Against his spirit side O blessed be the Lord that doth A victorious Psalm bring O praised be that mighty God That in Spirit I sing Praised be 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 And thy deceitfull mouth But 't is not in thy power to break This pleasant Harmony Although thou comest with hellish tricks Against it for to flie This Vision was the night before the Quakers came 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

who stand for him shall be In every thing here blest They that for King David will speak They shall not losers be For he will give to them great things Much their eyes shall see The stone through enemies it doth go And break their Camps so great It makes the whole body of foes Utterly here to splits The stone when that it doth plerce And cast Goliah down Then all the other souldiery Are scatter'd in every Town And this will the stone surely do Within the English soil It will come forth and wound the foes That will their Camps then spoil The little stone out of the Brook Shall sure be taken up And through the sling it shall forth fly Proud boasters down to pluck The stone though it be smal yet 't is A smooth stone which will flie So that none can escape its stroak For 't will make all foes die Though a little stone yet it doth grow Into a Mountain great Which will overtop all Mountains And their forces defeat Though a stone yet such a mighty stone No weight can it compare It falls so weighty on proud men It doth ten thousands tear Though a little stone yet it will last And sure it will prevail 'T will break the Castles the Mounts And open Prison goals Though a little stone it will command The Towns both far and nigh It will draw up Jordan Rivers And also make them dry Though a little stone yet it will sure Jerico waâ—ls breake and lay And batter alâ— Fortifications That rise up in this day Though a ittle stone it will consume And cast Egyptians down ' I will ruin all Gomorrahs and All Sodoms filthy towns Though a little stone yet it will wound And cast Leviathans lows O 't will break all the jaws of those Who do it from them throw Though a little stone 't will break down Towns And ruin Islands too And go through all Europe also Every Tyrant to undo Though a little stone it is so frim There 's none can make a flaw No defilement can reach the stone Which will bring to its barre It will indeed pass sentence on The perjur'd sort of men And vow-breakers 't will utterly slay And undo their greatness then Though a little stone yet 't will go forth Through the Nations that are large O it will indeed not be kept up Nor swim in a little barge O 't will faile through great ships unto The remore places farther And there 't will do most great exploits To the praise of the Father The little stone 't will the image smite And 't will break both toes and legges Yea thighs and arms it will slay it 'T will sure wound all their heads 'T will cast down every one who doth So insolently appear O therefore call now thy friends up That they may draw thee near O love invite thy dear friends In o thy bosome sweet O Love do thou so ravish thine That they may thee here meet My soul is swallowed up in love O love doth wax so great O love doth crumble

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
takes in Heaven and Earth Sea Rivers and all Creatures so From him they issue forth That must a glorious body be Who takes in light and all And hath Stars Sun and Element Within his Diety Wall That must a glorious body be That takes in every plant That takes the whole Creation in To its high blessed mount That must a glorious body be To whom living creatures so bow And unto whom Elders fall down And Deity allow That must a glorious body be Where all Israel sits down And where those that are grafted in Receive the blessed Crown That must a glorious body be Wherein all doe so shine And the first and last do's appear And have deliverance time O that body and that alone There is none like to it A very glorious body prepar'd Upon Almighties seat A very glorious body souls Have you such Sermons had That of prepared body speaks Who is with glory clad The spirit in a Sermon-Psalm Of Christs body so choice Doth here come forth O therefore hear This sweet and pretious voice In all ages some Saints they have For this body been slain The Patriarchs and Apostles have With their blood it maintain'd O they fall down before the throne Before this body choice And sing to him as Creatour With Haleluja voice O they doe sing salvation to The Lamb that stood so slain And in his office as a Lamb They doe him there maintain A Lambs bow'd to when he is seen In the Diety so great To have fellowship and to come And appear on that seat And they fall down before the Lamb Because they honour must give Unto the worthy one who doth Make poor fallen ones to live They all fall down before the Lamb To honour his dignity high And the great power that he had The seals for to make flye They must honour the Lamb for he And onely he could break And open the fast sealed book And lead up poor low sheep All must fall down before the Lamb Though he look so slain Yet O great was the work he did And none can it defame A Lamb although that he doth stand So upon the slain ground Yet a Lamb on a throne to whom Such prayses did abound Yet he doth appear as a Lamb When in office he comes And when he is to reed the Book He must speak with Lambs Tongue When reading the Book he comes forth As a Lamb that was slain But yet the breaking of the Seal Requires Lions Reign The breaking of the seals must have The Lions power and strength And then the Book it must be read With lovely voice at length When Lion hath broken the seals The Lamb doth read it plain Before whom all those doe fall down That are the Kings own train The Cherubs Seraphims living creatures And the elders compleat They all fall down when the Lamb looks From his high throne and seat A very glorious body to whom Living Creatures so bend And to whom elders with loud voice Such praises doe surrend A very glorious body though It stood like poor slain Lamb Yet in perfection it appears To strike down Babylon A Lamb and a Lamb with seven Horns O what a Lamb so grown O it s a choice and precious Lamb Prepared for the throne A Lamb and a lamb with seven Horns O how were all here met Seven Candlesticks seven Lamps choice Were all at the Lambs beck And he had also seven Stars That is so bright a Sun O here was perfect number bright And all through the Lamb come Lamps Seven Horns seven choice burning Seven spirits him to attend What a number of seven had he His stout proud foes to rend O Iohn saw Christ in perfection In his number compleat And O the visions which he shews Is most lovely and sweet A sweet vision of the slain Lamb When he is risen in power When he had reconciled all He then breaks Babylons Tower Therefore saith he unto Mary O doe not touch me here For I am not yet ascended up To draw perfection neer Don't touch me for I have not yet I have not taken might So as to break all enemies And give to them a flight But now O now Iohn may touch the Lamb When seven Horns doe appear And when seven eyes do shew him Sons O Iohn he may draw neer The Lamb he is compleat in all He hath full Majesty Sufficient value for poor ones Who doe his rich grace see The Lamb hath Lion strength indeed When horns they doe come out When that his justing power appears Against Babylons rout And his great strength doth then come forth To Iudahs root so rare And to the branch that then shall call His beloved from far A glorious Lion a glorious root That out of David springs And comes and hath prevailed too For victory he brings Who could rouse up Iudah till that This root did spring and grow And how could the Tree have come out If God did not thus blow A glorious body for that is The Sermon of this day To set out the body of Christ Though in a singing way Yet the Doctrine must proved be In the Psalm that is sweet O therefore minde the Doctrine Which sheweth Christ compleat For faith looks not on miracle But on the body bright And therefore faith doth fetch ground from What it here brings in sight Faith it doth goe to the body That is prepar'd alway And fetcheth power and strength from thence All evils to alay Faith therefore doth not come hither To fetch miracle for any But faith comes to see and behold Prepar'd body for many O faith it comes and doth require The body of Christ to behold And therefore come dear ones to that The which will truth unfold Pray dear comers doe not desire A miracle to have But pray come and with faith behold Whole Body rise from grave Come and behold Christ body souls And gaze not on miracle still O doe not follow him for looks That will not your souls fill Don't follow miracle bread here Is morsels that's more sweet The whole body Father prepar'd Walks upon spirits feet Pray don't hunger after miracle-Loaves For it won't satisfie It will not break corruption It can't open your eye Pray don't love for miracle bread It will not make you strong So as to ingage against the foe And spoyl Antichrists throng Pray doe not come for miracle-bread For Christ is risen up And spirit brings the whole body To give your souls a pluck Is not Christ body far more sweet Than miracle bread so small That satisfies thousands of souls And is broken to all And this whole body here it comes That is more than a Loafe Then hearken not to miracles Against the spirits vote Because the whole body throughout And the Father is one And it will strengthen to the work Of Christ advancing throne Is that enough to satisfie Instead of miracle here Then O come and eate heartily To whole body draw neer Praised
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
the sheep O Lion diâ—st shew a Lamb to me With pleasant countenance That did appear most lovely slain And did my soul advance To him and this did strengthen me For the slain Lamb to stand That is so faithfull unto me In his protecting hand The one night a Lamb I did behold The other a Coccatrice And the former did strengthen me For it could do no lesse O the Lamb it did stand by me I knew not what it did mean Till that the Coccatrice appear'd And strove to make me lean O I did see a Lamb so stand With countenance most bright But did not know the meaning till The other appear'd in sight And this Lamb my soul must extoll In a triumphing voice And O it s this thou canst not bear Though it be sweet and choice God hath sent forth his Spirit in power The God head to maintain And the body that is prepar'd Against thy criticall brain O the choice faith of Gods elect The Devil much doth spight And election he can't endure But against it doth sight The Devil doth election hate Against foreknowledge flies But the Spirit according to Scripture doth Give him and thee the lie But O election love is sweet O it is choice and pure O Faith must needs lay hold on that That thou canst not endure For through electing love poor man Was set upon his feet And was made to revive again Through election sweet And through grace was strengthened And grew and flourish'd brave And Christ delighted for to come And bring this through his grave And though poor man had many a foe Against him for to fight Yet that faith ariseth to God That comes from his Almight For so the Gospel doth declare Where Christ sweedy appears And that word bringeth forth from him By which the soul draws near O faith is that the which the Lord Greatly embraces still O It is that which sweetly doth Your soul with good things fill Faith works by love and love in faith O companions is dear O what an Harmony is that Which herein doth appear Faith it doth justifie the Soul So as to condemn sin And faith it purifies the heart The which Christ down doth bring Faith it doth justifie the soul It doth it in Christs way He is the object of that faith Which in true ones bears sway Faith it doth justifie from sin And it is very pure Faith it commends the Love of God And shall for Christ endure O Faith it is prevailing for Victory is found therein That nothing can prevail against For it is from the King How excellent is faith O Souls O what of it have you That so you may most chearfully Embrace the Lord anew O embrace Jesus Christ O Souls With a most royall faith For O it is this will learn you To live at a high rate O faith it is most precious This day it doth appear For the Devil he cannot bear When it doth shine forth clear O Souls now what of faith have you That hath been spoke of here And hath so mightily shined forth Against such fiâ—thy gear If thy pen hath written it down I shall be very glad Because the power of God this day Greatly the Psalm hath clad If thy pen hath writ the swift Psalm I shall praise the most high For it is worthy of thy pen Thy Spirit it did fly That so the earth may hear of it And that it may appear What a mighty Spirit God did send While vile ones did draw near It will make all true hearts rejoyce And you chiefly I know That have been witnesses to it When it did overflow A very blessed Psalm O souls That had victory at hand To sing and triumph when that they The Spirit did withstand O will not this establish you In love to Spirits light That hath so great power and strength With the Devil to fight O if the Spirit remains in you It will bear rule indeed And it will raise you unto him That here for sin did bleed Will you remember such a time When any would you fear How that the glorious Spirit did All oppositions tear A condemning power Spirit hath Received against all That do oppose and strike against The high Salvation wall Here is as much as could be taken concerning the Quakers the Psalm being so very swift it could not all be writ Feb. 7. 1657. CHrist person shewed what Angels spake To those dear ones of old His glorious person did shew sorth The figures and unfold The Tipes this branch from Jacob came That John did see so bright Which did open the seased book And his tears from him wipe The person of Christ Jacob did see When he travelled on the way He saw the Heavens opened And was comforted in that day He saw the royal Lâ—dder there Whereon divin nature walked Whereon the Angels loved to look And of it to Jacob talked Jacob must see God but he could Not come him for to reach Till the ladder was laid to Earth Wherein Christ body was preacht And carried up his eyes to behold And see the glory high Which did greatly revive Jacob And quickened much his eye The person of Christ did make out All that old Israell saw The Altar and the Tabernacle The person of Christ convey The person of Christ did shew forth the Rare mercie sea so choice Which was in the Arke and he holds out Clea ly in Gospel voice Its meaning he brought clearer light He comes in rich array With girdle of Gold about his paps Which John saw in his day The person of Christ brought forth free grace Which was discovered then When that his person did up rise Amongst the sons of men The person of Christ shewed the High-Priest In his great office choice And in the priviledges he had To utter forth his voice The person of Christ shewed the High-Priest In all his rich array And fully declares the deliverance And the redemprion day The person of Christ declares Tabernacle In all its ove-layings with Gold For he did shine brighter than it And more glory unsold The person of Christ did shew forth Solomons royal seat And sweetly discovered every Tipe And preacht them at high rate His person did not allegorize them As notional brains do As it they were not real truths But inward fancies new But the person of Christ breaks notions And doth not truths so take And speaks not like the Notionist But after true Records rate For the person of Christ the Father intrust With the Records throughout And he is faithfull to his God And speaks plainly of them out The person of Christ is intrusted with The Record of Diety And he doth strike down all this way Of mens false allegory The person of Christ sheweth forth all Is in him whom is chief The Comprehender of the whole Where only is relief And none but God-man comprehends The types and figures all For they did but him represent Whom is the all in all
