A74677	Eugenius Theodidactus. The prophetical trumpeter sounding an allarum to England illustrating the fate of Great Britain, past, present, and to come. Such wonderful things to happen these seven yeers following, as have not been heard of heretofore. A celestial vision. VVith a description of heaven and heavenly things, motives to pacifie Gods threatned wrath: of a bloody, fiery way of the day of judgment, and of saints and angels. / Sung in a most heavenly hymn, to the great comfort of all good Christians, by the Muses most unworthy, John Heydon, gent. philomat.	Heydon, John, b. 1629.	1655 (1655)	Thomason E1671_3; ESTC R208414	82,593	168

infuse Thy Poets brest with a Prophetick Muse And know that he this author did prefer To be from him this Iles Remembrancer If thou I say oh Britain shalt retain Thy crying sins thou dost presume in vain Of Gods protection If thou stop thine eare Or burn this Rowle in whice recorded are Thy just Inditements it shall written be VVith new additions deeply stampt on thee With such Characters that no time shall race Their fatal image from thy scarred face Though haughtily thou dost thy self dispose Because the Sea thy borders doth inclose Although upon the Rocks thy nest is plac'd Though thou among the Stars thy dwelling hast Though thou encrease thy ships and unto that Which is thine own with King Iehosaphat Joyn Ahabs forces Though thou watch and ward And all thy Ports and Havens strongly guard Although thou multiply thy inland forces And muster up large troops of men and horses Though like an Eagle thou thy wings display'st And high thy self advancing proudly say'st I fit aloft and am so high that none Can fetch me from the place I rest upon Yea though thou no advantages didst want Of which the glorious Emperies did vaunt Yet sure thou shalt be humbled and brought low Ev'n then perhaps when least thou fear'st it so Till thou repent provisions which are made For thy defence or others to invade Shall be in vaine and stil the greater cost Thou shalt bestow the honour that is lost Shall be the greater and thy wasted strength Be sink of a Consumption at the length Thy treaties which for peace or profit be Shall neither peace nor profit bring to thee Or if thy Counsels prosper for a while God wil permit it onely to beguile Thy foolishness and tempt thee on to run Some courses that will bring his Judgements on Yea all thy winnings shall but fuel be To feed those follies that now spring in thee And make with vengeance those the more enrag'd Who shall for thy correction be engag'd What ever threatned in Gods Book hath bin Against a wicked people for their sin Shall come on thee His hand shall be for ill On every Mountain and high-raised hill Thy lofty Cedars and thy sturdy Oaks Shall feel the fury of his Thunder stroake Upon the Ships thy Havens and thy Ports Upon thy arms thy armies and thy Forts Upon thy pleasures and commodities Thy Crafts mechanick and thy merchandise On all the fruits and Cattel in thy fields On what the ayre or what the water yeilds On State and people on both weak and strong On Priest and Prophet or both old and young Yea on each person place and every thing The Plague it hath deserved God shal bring What ever thou dost hope he frustrate shall And make what e're thou fearest on thee fall This pleasant soyle wherein such plenty grows And where both milk and honey overflows Shall for thy peoples wickedness be made A Land as barren as what never had Such plenties in it God shall drive away Thy pleasant Fowles and all those Fish that play Within thy waters and for whose great store Some other Nations would have prais'd him more Those Rivers that have made thy vallies rich Shall be like streams of ever burning Pitch Thy dust as Brimstone fields as hard and dry As iron is the firmament on high Like Brass shall yeild thee neither rain nor due The hope of wasted blessings to renue Aleanness shall thy fatness quite devour Thy wheat shall in the place of wholsome flowre Yeild nought but bran In stead of grass and corn Thou shalt in times of harvest reap the thorn The thistle and the bryar Of their shadows Thy Groves shall robbed be thy flowry Medows shal steri e wax there shal be seldom seen Sheep on thy downs or Shepheards on the Green Thy walks thy Gardens and each pleasant plot Shall be as those where men inhabit not Thy Villages where goodly dwellings are Shal stand as if they unfrequented were Thy Cities and thy Palaces wherein Most neatness and magnificence hath bln Shal heaps of rubish be and as in those Demolisht Abbies where in Dawes and Crowes Now make their nests the Bramble and the Nettle Shal in their halls and parlours root and settle Thy Princes houses and thy wealthy Ports Now fill●d with men of all degrees and sorts Shal no inbabitants in them retain But some poor Fisherman or Countrey Swain VVho of thy glories When the marks they see Shall wonder what those mighty ruins be As now they do who old foundations find Of towns and Cities perisht out of mind The places where much people meetings had Shal vermine holes and dens for beasts be made Or walks for sprights who from those uncouth rooms Shall fright the passenger which that way comes In stead of mirth and laughter lamentation Shall there abide and loathsome desolation In stead of company Where once was heard Sweet melody men shall be made afeard With hideous cryes and howlings of despaire Thy very Climate and thy temp'rate ayre Shall lose their wholsomness for thy offences And breed hot Fevers Murraines Pestilences And all diseases they that now are trained In ease and with soft pleasures entertained In stead of idle games and wanton dances Shall practise how to handle guns and launces And be compell'd to leave their friends embraces To end their lives in divers uncouth places Or else thy face with their own blood defile In hope to keep themselves and thee from spoile Thy beautious Women whose great pride is more Than theirs whom Esay blamed heretofore In stead of paintings and of costly sents Of glittering gems and precious ornaments Shall wear deformitie about their faces And being rob'd of all their tempting graces Feele wants diseases and all such like things Which to a wanton Lover lothing brings Thy God shall for thy overflowing vices Scourge thee with Scorpions Serpents Cockatrices And other such whose tailes with stings are armed That neither can be plucked forth nor charmed Thou shalt not be suffiz'd when thou art fed Nor shalt thou suffer scarcitie of bread And temporall food alone but of that meat Whereof the faithfull soul desires to eat That curse of Ravenous Beasts which God hath said Upon a wicked Kingdom shal be laid He will inflict on thee For though there be No Tygers Lyons Wolves or Bears in thee By beastly minded men that shall be far More cruel than those bloody spoylers are Thou shalt be torn for each man shall assay His fellow to devour as lawfull prey In stead of Lyons tyrants thou shalt breed Who not of conscience nor of Law take heed But on the weak mans portion lay their Paw And make their pleasures to become their Law In stead of tygers men of no compassion A furious and a wilful generation Shall fil thy borders Thieves and outlaws vile Shal hunt the waies and haunt the woods for spoyle As Bears and Wolves A subtile cheating crew That wil with tricks and cozenages pursue

God the Father and the Lamb Christ Jesus Shal of such heavy yokes then clearly ease us And be a Temple unto his most faire To whose blest Saints with delight repaire His worship then shal be most plain and pure And shal for ever constantly endure Without all legal Rites or Ceremonie Adoring God in Christ in sanctimony Whose looks to them as Lessons shall appear His holy name be'ng Musick in their ear And such indeed is this great Cities state So admirable so inexplicate That Gold and precious stones being too too base T' express the glory of that glorious place If nature did more precious things bring forth More amply to describe this Cities worth I therefore know not what terrestrial thing We may with due proportion hereto bring To have a fit and true analogy Unto this temple of eternitie But God himself and Jesus Christ alone In whom it may most properly be shown Again this Citie hath no need of Light Neither of Sun or Moone or Stars most bright For as the Prophet saith when God again Shall his dear Church restore and o're it reign The glorious Light thereof so clear shall shine By the blest presence of the Unite-trine That even the Sun and Moon shall seem most dark And in comparison but like a spark To that ineffable refulgent light Of Gods blest countenance and sacred sight Whereby alone the Saints shall all possess Such perfect joy and hearty cheerfulness As that all earthly comfort though it seem'd And were as bright as Sun and Moon esteem'd Shall be superfluous needless most neglected And unto this compar'd not least respected Also the Heirs and Sons of this Salvation Even all th' Elected people of each Nation Kings of the Earth whom Euphrates did bar And once sequester from Christs Kingdome far So many as are saved as many shall Shall in Jerusalem coelestiall With perfect joy enjoy the full fruition Of this most infinite and heav'nly vision And thither shal their pomp and honour bring Even unto God and Christ their heav'nly King But here 's not meant their worldly wealth and state Their Gems and Jewels Gold or Silver plate For since this sacred Citie needs no light Of Sun or Moon which shine on Earth so bright Much less shal there be need of worldly pelfe In this most sacred sumptuous Commwealth But this is hereby understood and meant That those good Princes which were eminent For vertuous gifts of grace and piety Shall lift up all their whole felicity Their glory and their princely estimation From earthly unto heav'nly contemplation And only fix their joy upon the same And glory thus to glorifie Gods name The gates moreover of this City shall Be never shut but stand widrope to all None shall from this felicity be staid Nor be shut up as frighted or afraid For there shall be no Enemy to fear them No doubt of danger then shall once come near them All spight of former adversaries cease For there shall be perpetuall rest and peace And which is more there shal be here no Night For why an everlasting splendour bright From Gods all-glorious presence shall proceed A Lightmore pure then light it self indeed Shal so incessantly shine forth alway Making an endless everlasting day But here this night may further intimate A two-fold meaning Lit'ral Figurate The Literal sense that there no night shal be Is that indeed the Saints no Night shal see For why as hath been said all times distinctions Of day and Night summer and winter seasons Shal then quite cease and be superfluous The figurative sence and meaning thus May be explain'd that no obscurity Of error of slye hypocrisie No unclean thing foul or abominable No filthy creature Lyer detestable No Murthering Cains no Iudas implous No Cham's nor Achams sacrilegious No cruel faithless friendless envious else That hurts his Neighbour but much more himself No Avaricious arm'd in hooking tenters And clad in Bird-lime catching all adventures Nor ought that may contagiously infect Or once eclipse the joy of Christs Elect Or violate the glorious state and bliss Which Christ the Lamb hath purchased for his Nor in the least degree shall hurt or wrong The flourishing estate which doth belong To th' Saints rare dignity and perfect Light Of sincere worship of the Lord of Might Which is his angels glory and chiefe grace And shall for ever in them keep firm place But those shall hither come with joyes most rise Whose names are registred i th' Book of Life For whom the Lamb Christ Jesus did ordain This glorious Kingdome with him thus to reign Who were predestinate to this salvation Before the worlds originall foundation To these alone the Gates stand open wide These shal for ever with the Lamb abide Lastly to make this citie most compleat In every part to be as good as great The Holy Ghost having at large declared The churches glorie being thus compared Unto a sumptuous citie ful of State Now finally proceedeth to relate That both this City and its Citizens Are furnisht and replenisht with al all means For conservation of their endless joy Sufficient to protect them from annoy They have I say spirituall lively meat Divine angelike Mann ' to drink to eat The soveraign Balsum to conserve alway Their health in health from fall or least decay The holy spirit as erst here using stil These earthly terms t' express heav'n● sacred wil And all to shew heav'ns great benignity Descending thus to our capacity This honour'd City hath in it also A sacred River which doth over-flow With pure and precious water of blest life Whose stream do issue from its fount most rife A current River not a pool with soil Nor foul or troubled Aegyptian Nile Or billowing Euphrates But sweet and fair With dectable streams smooth clear and rare A River for its great aboundancie Pure in respect of its sweet sanctity Of water of Gods Sp'rits rare gifts of Grace Of life whose tasters live an endless space And clear as Crystall from all spissitude From all unclean corrupt amaritude This River shall from Gods great throne proceed And from the Lambs gliding with pleasant speed And thus the River here may signifie The Holy Ghosts gifts third in a trinity Which is not sleightly ratifi'd indeed In that t is said here that it shal proceed From Gods and from the Lambs most sacred throne Which Iohns shewn Prophesie hath clearly shown Yea and i th' midst of this great Cities street Pav'd all with gold as mould under their feet Through all the pleasant passages most fair Where to and fro the Sainted souls repair On either side this River rare to see Doth flourish fairely a Life-giving tree Which tree of Life doth thus much to us show That to those gracious Waters which do flow To all the grace●s of Gods sacred Spirit Christ Jesus is conjoynd by whose just merit His Church hath life true peace and sure salvation Thus having with the Sp●rite co-operation And
