The DESCRIPTION of the Singers of Israel or the Family of LOVE in a Song of ZION The Tune of Flora farewell or False Lover THE Sweet Singers of Israel and Family of perfect Love Are such as are redeem'd from Hell and they do live in God above Though some have writ and printed Lies they cannot move us from our place Nor any thing they can devise can make us fear to shew our face We are redeemed from all Lust all Covetousness Envy and Pride And I do know they are accurst that do us mock or have beli'd In their false Papers that they dare not shew their name or dwelling place But we that on God cast our care do not mind evil mens Disgrace If we break any of their laws we crave not favour at their hands Though they do lay on us their claws we know that we do God's Commands For we in deed and truth do love and not in words as many do Those that us hate or smite or shove our Friend and eke our greatest Foe How dare you make a mock of Love or speak against the Singers sweet Have you not read its God above who in his wrath can with you meet In stead of singing you may houl and not rejoice with Israel Because you seek us to controul in darkness you are like to dwell Untill you heartily repent and find true love to set you free To punish you the Lord is bent mine eye is open this to see The God of this World doth you blind that you cannot look up to heaven There 's so much malice in your mind You ready are to stone a Stephen Because he stedfastly can look into the place where God doth dwell You cannot his true sayings brook Your envy doth keep you in Hell You charge us with Debauchery and very many and gross evils But those that come us for to try shall find that you are lying Devils God hath created us a-new and Love his Son hath us redeemed And we love all both Turk and Jew though by them we are not esteemed Our Enemies they do confess John Taylor is the head Bell-Wether That is a strong sheep I do confess Abel to ring the weak together They also call me the Bell-damm which is also a good strong sheep I do confess I love the LAMB the which will make the Goats to weep God will the Sheep and Goats divide and unto them this sentence give The Sheep shall stand on his right side and in true joy and peace shall live But for the Goats they shall depart into the Lake that 's called Hell Where they shall feel great pain and smart because on us such lies they tell Then learn each one to speak the Truth that lying may not so abound But know thy Lord the guid of youth least in great sorrow you be drownd For he will not long mocked be with Pharisees that long do pray Nor fearful Hypocrites I see for all their speaking Yea or Nay They are the worst Lyars of all for I have tryed every sort They are fullest of guil and gall and on true Folk do lies report But they shall reap what they have sew'd a crop of Persecution And out of Gods mouth shall be spew'd in sudden dissolution And those that have a name to live and sing others experience A bittet cup God will them give that know not true deliverance Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for he hath visited and redeemed his People not from Lace and Ribbons but from Pride and Covetousness which is Idolatry Hallelujah Elizabeth Rone
