AN ELEGY On the Death of that Eminent Minister of the Gospel M R. NATHANIEL PARTRIDGE Who Exchanged Mortality for Immortality Aug. 6. 84. Weep Sion weep thy pretious Pillars fall A Prince in thee is faln this Funeral While Cater-pillers stand and strut about Yea flye aloft making an Hideous Rout Those painted Butter-flyes blast all thy Greens On all thy Synagogues venting their Spleens Twice had the Hawks upon this Partridge seizd And with their Talons him severely teezd Long did he lye in New-gate where he was A blessing Rich to Dying Pris'ners as He took that Season when condemnd they lay In Irons and on Execution Day Asham'd he was not of their bonds or Fetter To save their Souls and make their Death 's the better To Forraign and Domestick he was blest His piercing Counsel pierc'd the Polish breast That Barbarously murderd ' Squier Thinn Made penitent while th' Jayl was both their Inn To sundry Natives was this Man of God In Prison useful teaching by the Rod. Which then did justly lash yet whipd them home As was the Prodigal in Sacred Tome Through this mans wise improvement from the word Thus in converting work he serv'd the Lord In Prison also where Gods word 's not bound As he had done when Free walking his round Thus like to Paul the Aged who while Free Had many converts Jews and Gentils He Had his Onesimus begot in Bonds So Partridge both while free and when Absconds Raiseth up Seed to Christ his Elder Brother Gentle and Simple both come one and other In at his Daily call none could withstand The pow'rfull charms of his so Heav'nly Hand A Spiritual Father He became to many God seald his Ministry as much as any His work God gave him in this World 's now finish'd Though through Cordoliums yet not Diminish'd Shall be his wages in a better World Where none by Frights by Fears by Tears are Urld.
