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

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

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

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

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

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

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
