treasures pleasures pride Giddy at length Poor I began to slide Hold man said Faith thou hast a staff by thee Christs Cross can help thee stand force these flee But in this broil Ere I the Cross could use I had a foil And got at inward bruise Conscience spat blood pain pierc'd and wrung my side Till Faith some better blood like balm applied Faith also bad A vein shoul op'ned be Urging I had Much putrid blood in me Content said I for I had heard o th' art Of saving Faith to purifie the heart But lest I should In bleeding faint Faith took Some Cordialls roll'd In Bible leaves a Book Whos 's ev'ry leafe said Faith rich drugs conteins As I compound them sov'raign for heart-pains Alas said I Many those drugs have got But do decry Finding they profit not But strait remembred what the Sripture saith Th' word did not profit be'ng unmix'd with Faith O pow'rfull Faith Whos 's ev'ry smallest grain If sound who hath May say and not in vain Mountains of guilt that here so long have stood Get hence into the Sea of Saviours blood This skillfull grace Did first Phlebotomize Then wash the place And after wipe mine eyes Dear Faith said I I see that thou dost mean Not only for to make me whole but clean As soon as I Was cur'd of this my pain Impetuously The world comes on again I took Faith's Cross and found what Scripture saith Our victory over the world 's our Faith Vain world be gone Said I vex me no more Vexation And vanity's thy store This Jacobs ladder helps me to discrye A surer sweeter world beyond the skye By this dear Cross My dearest Lord did climb I 'll count thee loss That I may follow him His and my Kingdom 's not i th' worlds enjoyment If 't were who knows where it would be next moment World thou must be Set one day all on fire Witchchrafts in thee And blood deserve this hire Then shall my dust see by thy bright fire-light To rise that morning that shall nere have night We do but jest Great Alexanders story Is best exprest When we say this worlds glory Vanquish'd that seeming victor sure I am Nothing but Faith this world ere overcame When I begin To fight and want supplies Faith summons in Heavens Auxiliaries And stores with precious promises that are The very sinews of that holy war And more then this Brings in a rare commander Jesus it is Not Mars or Alexander But he that taught all fingers fight can quell All foes ev'n Christ i th' heart by faith doth dwell Jerusalem Above that City is Where Davids stem Raigns and remains in bliss Yet 't is his royall pleasure here in us To dwell by Faith as in his Country-house Faith makes mans heart That dark low ruin'd thing By its rare art A pallace for a King High'r then proud Babels tow'r by many a story By faith Christ dwels in us the hope of Glory Thus Faith doth raise Out of vile dust a Court Imputing praise Honour and good report Hearts Rahab like when once they entertain Heav'ns spies by Faith a good report do gain If thou believe All things are possible Faith can relieve Ev'n to a miracle This Faith can wash an Aethiopian clean Witness the Eunuch of Candace the Queen And as Faith makes Us Courts so Courtiers too God pleasure takes In us when all we do Is done in Faith then reck'ning that he hath Most glory by us when most strong in Faith And as by this Our service proves his pleasure Ev'n so doth his Hereby become our treasure One day in Gods Cour● Faith doth far prefer Before a thousand any other where 'T is unbelief i th' evill evill heart His and my grief That makes us ever part That Blessed Man whose feet this Faith hath sh●d With Noah and Enoch still can walk with God By Faith who strives To walk with God whilst here Doth live two lives At once each day o th' year And dying Joseph like commands his bones To Canaan there to dwell with living ones Dear Faith said I My joy my crown my treasure Tell me whereby I may do thee a pleasure Thou art that lock in which my strength doth lye Thee not to tender were self-cruelty If thou wouldst please Me better work me more Said Faith 't is case Only that makes me poore But I do use to bid my workmen eat Said I dear Faith inform me what 's thy meat Said Faith I came Out of the eastern lands Old Abraham And I have oft shook hands My food 's an Hebrew root that Gardners dresse On Lords Days mostly call'd the root of Iesse By hearing I Came first and we are fed Most kindly by The things whereof we 're bred Forget not if you love me the Church-path Line upon Line 's the way from Faith to Faith The carefull foot That walks by Scripture-LEAVES Shall find th's ROOT Which happy who receives So nutritive Antidotive and good Who feeds on it needs scarce fear any food Make but my bread Of this root when I Sup Let th' Dragons head Be then broke and serv'd up Yet Toad-stools one would think need be well drest Ere they will make a good dish for a feast Art I did gain Sometime and that by book The Temters brain To wholesomeness to cook Only have care as ever thou dost mean To keep me long in health to lodg me clean Good conscience is An old comrade of mine Whom I cant miss If thou wouldst make me thine And keep me thou must keep him too that day Thou partst with him look I should pack away Self confidence My nat'rall enemy Must be packt hence An hand a foot an eye Who hath of 's own will scorn to be my debtour Who parts with these works walks and sees the better Prove that thou art A Pilgrim daily dye Of death get th' start And live eternally I that in Abrah'ms heart dwelt many a day To Abrah'ms bosom now shew thee the way Fear alwaies Yet Faint never Eye the cloud That doth beset Thee that triumphant Croud Look unto Jesus watch th' word of command Which when thou hast done all these things is STAND By grace ye are saved through Faith Ephess 2.8 HOPE DRive on my muse till thou 'rt got through Let not Hope find thee in a slough Let that that drives the Farmers plough Drive thine much more To th' Hope of Isr'el let me yet In hope my running rhyme commit And humbly say God prosper it Or 't will be poor Hope is a door the Scripture saith And so is Christ and so is Faith Who 're out of these doores are in wrath And Condemnation Faith into Christ doth first advent're Christ into Hope allows me enter Hope makes my very Soul to center On Gods Salvation Hope is Faiths expectation Fa●●h is the Moses Hope 's the stone That Faith in Pray'r doth rest upon Till 't overcome Faith doth upon Hopes tip-toe stand

Then girt like Peter did begin to swim In a repentant Sea of tears to him Repentance lowers Yet like sad rainy daies Bring fruits and flow'rs And floods to wash our waies Its Clouds bee'ng-fill'd with what bright faith exhales But 's dry as desperation when faith failes Yet have I heard That some repented not That afterward They might believe This knot Is soon untied First Faith lends tears and grief Unto repentance then an handkerchief Thus Faith precedes Repentance yet comes after Follows yet leads As Mother and as Daughter As the bright Sun the brackish Sea doth round Encompassing Repentance Faith is found Faith I would tell Thy story if I could Where thou dost dwell Or what thou art behold But thou art Faith which sense can no more reach Then death Deity can praise or preach I did ask at Heav'ns gate for thee dear grace But was told that There vision held thy place Then some infernall fiends said they could shew thee But took thee for no grace for they did rue thee I lookt about On earth to find thee there For there no doubt Thou dwelst if any where And yet again th' unerring Scripture saith When Christ shall come shall he on earth find Faith Surely not much When he shall that day bring Unto the touch Each one that wears a ring All won't prove Gold that glisters and is specious Nor feigned Faith be then approv'd as precious Oh! that I knew Thee precious Faith and could Thy reall hue Thy lustre but unfold I should soon draw all eyes from him that hath Gold rings to gaze on th' poor when rich in Faith Alas most take Thee for some pebble they Do nothing make To believe any way Only those few that have thee jealous are Their Faith is not the right the right 's so rare Thou 'rt a rich stock A Diadem brought forth Only by th' rock Of ages of such worth That who hath thee although he hath no more May well esteem the golden Indies poore By thee the just May live when wants surround And so he must When other things abound Faith makes the conscience good and that well drest Is a continuall food a constant feast Of the houshold Of Faith I 'm sure I 've read And dare be bold They want no houshold-bread Faith daily sets on the believers board The Heav'nly bread of th' everliving word Others look by Their trades to be maintain'd Why should not I To be by faith sustain'd Thou art the calling man but misapplies To other trades the name of mysteries The mystery Thou art yet th' Oedipu● That dost untye All doubts and knots for us Nothing is hard to thee where thou canst not Unriddle thou 'st a sword to cut the knot How blind were man But for thy piercing eye Who nothing can No not himself descrie Thy clue guides through both Laborinth-like waies Of mine own heart and through the Scriptures maze I should be set And pos'd at first and last i th' Alphabet But that dear Faith thou hast Taught me to know my letters Who but thou Could make me th' Alpha and Omega know Or to know him Aright alas my sight Were dark and dim But for thine eyes thy light Who seest him that is invisible What flesh and blood perceives not thou see'st well Pray'r's a blind beggar If it doe want but thee It may be eager But right it cannot bee Hope were an hopeless thing but that thou dost Allow it spend upon thy proper cost Faith makes pray'r know Where t' have its Amunition And teacheth how To levell each petition Of clam'rous sin quick prayer by Faith gains cope And brings salvations tidings back to hope In pilgrimage I went to Calvery That bitter stage Where my dear Lord did dye Where missing him I cri'd out where is he Faith whisper'd to me go along with me Faith brought me to A door but it was lockt Faith bad me go And knock and so I knockt Then th' door flew open and a Lamb did stand Cry'ng take both fleece and flesh But I h'd no hand But as my moan I made with tears and grief Faith lent me one So I took the relief Which having got I found that this believing Both gives me Christ and is of Christs own giving But as I thought To h've carri'd home this gift A Cross was brought Which I was bad to lift Or leave the rest I try'd but could not bear it Said Faith I 'll lend thee shoulders do not fear it With much ado I got this blessed pack Christ and 's Cross too By Faith upon my back But could nor go nor stand till Faith did meet Me just a sinking with a pair of feet Faith hav'ng new vampt My soul I then could walk Reason's sin-crampt And t is but idle talk To speak of marching in its strength and might Till Faith lends reason legs and sets it right We stand by Faith Saith Paul we stand by reason Whoever saith I doubt me doth speak treason They shew their reason best that daily beg Lord give us Faith reason 's a wodden leg Faith makes me see What reason 's asking still How can it be Let him take heed that will Believe no more then he finds reason for Lest he find reason to believe no more When Faith as Queen Makes reason wait upon her Reason's then seen Look like a maid of honour But let that saucy Courtier ' ware his head That crowds the Queen into the truckle-bed In a few miles March betwixt this and Heaven I found some stiles Not few'r then six or seaven That reason stumbling at Faith help me over Said I ●●ll poor Lame reason shall recover No sooner said I so but Faith did lift Ev'n as I pray'd Me over with my gift Which done I fell aboard that sacred flesh That so I might my fainting soul refresh Bee'ng cold and thin The fleece I had receiv'd I went to spin And weave but as I weav'd An enemy did cast a fiery dart Which but for th' shield of Faith had kild my heart Where hadst that fleece Said Satan thievish sinner Of righteousness That thou' rt become a spinner I answer'd false accuser not by thieving Had I my Righteousness but by believing Believing what Dost thou poor foolish wretch Tell me of that Said Satan go and fetch Gods Law-Book and thy Conscience Book and say If thou canst stand as righteous any way Malicious foe Said I cease troubling me Or else le ts go To suit i th' Chancery Gods Common-Law admits of mine appeales To th' Law of Faith that Righteousness reveales But equity Requires thy debts be paid Said he said I And satisfaction 's made By one that left his Cross when he was slain That I therewith might thee foul serpent brain Then Satan flew Quitting the field Anon A numerous crew A WORLD it was came on Thronging so thick and threefold in upon me That had nor Faith prest in they had undone me Earth shew'd her strength Her
