Sin hath so much here checkt And a Body must thus declare And for poor sinners shew Therefore this Body must not want A finger nor a toe For the Body Father sent downe Which was Virgin body pure It was compleat from head to foot This body shall indure This body the Father sent out It was prepared of old And came forth in sweet Virgin state Though laid in manger mold This prepared body dear God It was compleat and choice And thou didst send it forth in time With a choice Virgin voice This body in Virginity Takes up its lodge therein Though it comes from the mighty throne Virgin womb must it bring O what a glorious body 's this That from eternity sprung And did declare Virginity To the rebellious Sons A glorious body it was when With Father it did lodge And a glorious body when that it In Virgin had refuge When in womb and in birth O it Had there no bloody gore A Virgin pure white and clean and Such as nere was before A Virgin cleane a glorious state That was brought forth thus here O it was of a glorious make And without filth appeared But a most glorious Son O God Provided in body to come And though an Infant yet it was A pure Virgin white one And no cry was found in his mouth No sin that did make cry But O the glorious Son did come Not with such sinfull cry A blessed body God prepared A body free from all From sin from filth from lust from fear When forth to manger calld A body and prepared indeed So glorious and so bright Who had no voice ' gainst Herod though He against him did fight A glorious body that came forth In a choice mysterie A delicate one that was most fair And did not in blood lye A delicate rare Child was Jesus And he looked fair at first And no washing he needed for He had no sinfull lust A glorious body a glorious Child That did not whimpering speake But O delicate countenance Was upon that slain sheepe Most delicate when it was in womb And when it in manger lay And when on the Cross and in grave Nothing took it away A rare Body was Jesus Christ In all his passages here And a glorious body he is in His intercession deare A body that God did appoint The Mediator to A body to suffer for sin And to make old things new A body and a body brought For poor ones to admire And O let souls advance him and Still unto him retire O this body pleaseth my soul It is not so with you two Then praise is unto spirits Psalme That brings this body new The Scripture shews this body bright And Spirit brings a Psalme Then poor hearts why are you troubled For such a double arme Of a Body the Psalme sings now Which from the grave was brought O don't then cry up other things Which is a mixed draught But come and praise the Psalme that brings The whole body so choice For Christ he is the first and is Second Resurrection voice Pray be not displeased at the Psalm And say it 's mixed here Because the body of Jesus Christ So prepared doth draw near Pray do not bring your argument ' Gainst Christ but to him come For you must bend and bow to him That is the only Son And if spirit this body brings O eate and take your fill And do not so oppose what the Spirit so sweetly brings Learn of the Apostles learn of them Which of spirit so did write And O do not reject it when It cometh down in sight See what report that it doth make Of Jesus and his Crown And if so then O bretheren Leave not though some do frowne For Spirit Christ doth say it will Take of his and shew you O do not refuse offers of Christs dispensations new Bretheren O be faithfull to Christ You profess him to love O then give up your selves when that He comes thus from above Bretheren you say that you love Christ Pray then let it appear And don't object against that which Doth draw his body near If the prepared body will ride Upon an asses colt O do not say 't is not the King And so from him revolt For although the King is upon A meane low kicking Colt Yet he is King and doth need that His glory to unfold Christ chuseth poor low and mean things Lay's aside Rabies skill And sends for the poor asses colt All bosting for to kill Christ needs poor things because great ones So much do him prescribe Christ will not give them the glory That in him wo'not confide Christ needs poor things to shew spirit Which is so high in power Because the wise will not embrace It in his way and bour But they mix some of their own clay And of their puddle here With that which is holy droppings And from him doth appear O Christ doth come in such a way And in such mystery that Most say O 't is a foolish King That lays his honour flat What a King and ride on asses colt When that it is so small O sure this is not the great King Who is the onely all But Christ minds not the scoffers nor For scorners doth he care But he doth call for the poor asse And rides his journey rare How ere he comes be glad if he VVill set you on your feet If that he will instruct you how You may the Saviour meet This body as the Father sends Be sure him so to take As he wa kes with dispised ones And with the poor doth eate And is filling their Vials with His odours most compleat The Lord Jesus is that body Which took so low a seat O can you the Psalme understand It is brought by a plain mouth And it will please God if you take It in its degrees throughout Then observe the Psalme of degrees Before you away do goe Or else you will it greatly blame And surely have a blow Therefore O now take in the Psalme In its high and low degree That brings a body so prepared O that you might it see Do you then beg Faith from on high From the most blessed seat That you may see that body which In glory is compleat And was so before thus he came He did all things espie A body prepared a body With glorious Deity But yet not as Beaumont reports For he doth allegorize The body was with Deity But not as he describes The body prepar'd before time Was in the deities sight But notionises of the body They doe not speak aright They spoyl great mysteries because They cannot bring them out But by an allegory or by A high speculative mouth But O true crucified Christ Teacheth us mysteries here And O he bringeth down a Psalm Which is most pure and clear A glorious body Christ needs must be Who takes in threefold light Who takes in one and three also Even the Godhead might That must all glorious be Who
Which was slaine for thee and me This body it was high and great And had a glorious rise And this represents those that also Shall from him obtain life According to the will of God And the most glorious Son And the spirit for all the three Are seen in Salvation Many they say Christ is the Son As to justification But as to sanctification they do Deny the righteous One. They therefore are to be reprov'd As slighters of the Son And as underminers of what For Jehova did come And spirit reproves Rabbies also The gross and the refin'd For they are also of those that Do si ly ones beguile Though Rabbies say we have left sure word Yet they shall know ere long That spirit doth preach the Gospel Forth with the soundest tongue Though Rabbies fall off from the Lamb That is most pure and clean Yet they shall see 't is the spirit of power Which on our souls do erne Alas poor Rabbies you are not Like unto those of old For they were not so lifted up Above Christ pretious folde O people are deluded and They have been many a year Ere since Antichrist come on the stage They have been beguiled every where Though old Dr. Apostles preacht And Christ himself did learne Yet O they are besotted with Antichrist stinking leven Though Christ speaketh of latter days Wherein he would his spirit pour In such choice great variety They 'l not believe it in its hour And Christ saith that before it shall come Lyin words and many a cheat Against the spirit and the Son And his most glorious seat And they do say how shall we know Between true and the false But God he sends his spirit forth For to shew what is dross And true spirit doth take in Scripture By faith no allegories And it doth shew forth Jesus Christ In 's birth death and his rise And the spirit it sheweth forth Christ In his offices and we may see The three in one and one in three In divine diety The spirit shewed the true God In true man here to dwell And thus shewed the choice rare one Through forth the joyfull knel. The spirit shewed the figures And all the choice rare tipes And the sweet emblems which before Did come for Jesus Christ And it shewed that Christ is enjoyed By the indwelling spirit By its witness and Testimony Unto the Godheads merit True spirit doth shew that Christ is enjoyed By a sweet lively faith The which comes from the Son of God And is no tattle and prate True spirit shews when Christ is enjoyed By faith we then up rise To the pleasure of God in Christ And appear holy in his eyes True spirit shews when Christ's enjoyed The soul is justified and sanctified too And that it goes to him alone For Conversation new True spirit leads forth unto Christ And then to be baptized Not as notionist say 't is all in spirit And plain Scripture despise But true spirits honours the Son And his out goings too It honours the head and all that he Would have his members do True spirit don't bring head without members Nor head and members without a way Wherein they sweetly together may talk Of the rich Ascention day But true spirit takes head and members And shews Christ lovely way And gives direction how they should Act towards him in this day Spirit sheweth forth Christ and his way How they should act and speak And discovers that worship which Their Souls should undertake Companions forsake not the assembly Of Saints it is most dear But seek it in the way of Christ Which most lovely doth appear Companions don't deny fellowship Nor the ordinances sweet If that you do spirit will reprove And tell you you embrace a cheat But Companions witness to ordinances And to true fellowship For Jesus Christ is held forth there Before him a garden compleat Companions you may take this comfort From Christ Doctrine this day That you have a good conscience though Other make of you a prey Companions this doctrine exhorts you To walk chearfully along That you may honour the spirit And grow for Christ more strong Companions be exhorted now Alwaies to watch and pray That so you may hold forth spirit Most lively in your way Companions be exhorted to Cleave unto Spirits Psalme Which is so full of doctrine That will our poor hearts warme Companions be exhorted to esteem This doctrine in a Psalms Because t is of our Davids love And sheweth forth Solomons arme Companions be exhorted to Trust in your power high For assistance when so many do Against the truth so fly Dear companions we exhorted are To depart from consusions all And every principle and practise That doth new covenant inthrall Companions we are exhorted to Praise the new covenant high Because our dear Saviour did once So willingly for us die That so we may not account low Nor bring objections against that But keep close to refurrection Which will lay all enemies flat Companions we thus exhorted are That none may take away our Crown The which we do enjoy in this Upon true Paradise ground O Companions we are exhorted That none may rob us heer Of the rare white stone and new name Which so pretious doth appear Companions the time of love is sweet In paradice pure ground O it doth smell most delicate Let us it compassround Let us compass the Tabernacle Where the golden Pot of Manna stands Which will fill and nourish our souls In journying to the pleasant land O we shall see our Aarons rod And delight in its buddings there In its coming forth against the foe It will all enemies tear Companions the white stone looks bright It is a lovely one It is elect choice and pretious Le ts go unto this stone O frends let us follow the starr That leads up to the Throne Which is that lovely spirit for which We have sighed and groan'd A beloved star dear Companions A glorious star indeed Which the Father hath bestowed on us With which he doth us feed O let us dearly prise that star That leads unto the King Let us follow it allwaies For it will thither bring The star conducted the wise men But not Herod though he Said where is the Babe I le worship him I le also go and se But the Lord God he doth discover Such in there practice still For though he said I le worship him It was that he might him kill Companions let us keep our eye Still fixed on the son And let us prise him very high How ever he doth come Converse with the spirit in Scripture That right models you may know Be ashamed of what you have done amiss And he will the pattern show We shall have direction and guide Both what to do and say In all our practices throughout In this the latter day We shall be ready to receive Of our Lord when that we Are made ashamed of our wayes We shall his glory see When
