Of grace and truth in that same little seed Which thou hast sown for me when I stood need When Sin Death when Hell Darknesse great When losse when crosse about my heart did beat When angrie thou as judge to me did shine And I stood judg'd within my conscience mine Such witnesse had that I could plead no more My sin did mount to such a mighty score When all my friends from me a loof did stand When lovers all ran far away yea and When I lay dead and hopes I then had none Of life but laying comfortless alone Then thou declar'd to me that time I say Thy saving health wherein O Lord for ay In peace I 'le rest as unto me thou said From all my fears for thou hast so displaid Thy freest love that makes my heart rejoyce And mount and sing with Simeon that voice Now let me Lord depart in peace anon For I have seen thy great salvation Thy words enough I thereon will depend In it there 's life and it will me defend And bring me forth into that light wherein I shall remain and with high Cherubin Shall shew forth what with thee I have seen In my return as it hath with me been I have none other Song but this to sing What thou hast done for me that I will bring Before thy Saints that they also with me May sing it forth in sweetest melodie As none else can but them whom thou alone Hath so redeem'd by that same corner-stone That lyeth lowest in the building so That simmoned they are for so to do Which freedom brings in such great mighty store That sing that song they will for evermore Then thou my Soul sit here in silent rest Under his wings in whom thou thus art blest And wander not nor let thy gadding mind Be turn'd about thy Spirit for to blind Into the flesh as though that heavenly thing Thou there would keep and to thy sense would bring Thy freedom now and think thereby to hold That in thy self which no man ever could And soar not up into thy thoughts so high But ly thee down in true humilitie And eat thy portion there with that content That faith doth bring and be thou patient A word 's enough he will supply thy want There 's all in him how can there then be scant Nor turn thou back unto thy pleasures vain Nor unto Mammons filthly sordid gain Such lovers all too base are for thy mind Who now stands free in such a heavenly kind Of noble birth nay what shall I say more An heir with Christ as was said heretofore Of that same Crown which links thee into one Where freedoms stands beside which there is none And that I may Lord take into thy hand My life for all 's at thine own great command If thou wilt speak thy word it will suffice Then speak it Lord let not my foes arise Me to prevent of this thy pearl great O then speak Lord and so they shall retreat And then full safely I shall walk along With thee though with my wicked foes among I sojourn still untill that precious time Of Jubill come that full deliverance mine That Jubill time O! when shall it appear To free me from my burdens that are here Me thinks I long my heart it would be gone Out of this clay unto that only One But I must stay and in this house abide Till gold from drosse be true and fully try'd And sin and death hath done their worst and then Shall life come in and that same last Amen Shall then make up both breach and ruins all That hath befall'n the Saints since Adams fall The which shall then full gloriously appear When God in man his Kingdom shall up reare When God is all and man brought home in one That 's the Kingdom or else I say there 's none For Kingdoms else before him they shall fall And come to end though they be ne're so tall Then hasten Lord this Kingdom that is thine That I in thee may in thy onenesse shine That thou in me and I in thee still may Remain in one eternally I say Where I may cast before thy face my crown Where thou abides in that same highest throne Of glory great where all things end in one And thither brought by the chief corner stone Where Saints and Angels in true unity One song shall sing in God eternally Amen Lord hasten this thy pointed day It 's in thy hand yet still for that I 'le pray That when thou hast brought all things into one We all thy Saints may live in thee alone And thou in us may be our heaven alway Which shall remain that mighty longest day That mighty longest day that Alpha one That last Omega who is God alone Amen Amen O Lord I do thee pray To bring my soul to this thy holy day For thou art First and thou will be the last Of all that is to come or hath been past That glory honour power and due praise May be of all return'd to thee alwayes The corner stone out from the Father came Was laid in blood for to declare his name His grace and love unto fall'n men alace And by an oath so interposed was To reconcile to God his creature man So as no Angel nor no creature can So that his glory did surmount the bound Of all darkness in this wide world round Yea it did shine through sin through death through hell And grave as doth the Scripture fairly tell And if his splendor shine through such darkness Then doth it shine within all men no less To be the life of them who do receive it And judgement unto them who do reject it Thus is he set the fall and rise again Of some and all as will appear full plain When he as judge such witness will produce That who rejects shall be without excuse Let all men then what talent God doth give Improve it so as he therein may live And give account what gain comes in thereby Unto his Lord lest not so doing dye Then see thy Talent be not laid within Thy carnal earth which no good gain can win But exchange that which of thee is carnal Into a state that is spiritual So shalt thou build upon the corner stone A good increase while carnal earth brings none In Jordans water Christ baptized were By John so plung'd over head and ear The Holy Ghost descending on him so That he our sorrows bare and rude our wo And was the man who did repentance bear For all mens sins that he might wash them clear And after that that he was so baptized His after life was all then sacrificed Up unto death and in death baptized And by the spirit he again was raised Into the heavenly beeing there to reign In power great untill he come again In watry tears and siry blood was he So plunged in our Saviour for to be Thus water fire and blood was mingled For him to

drink In all the tears he shed Thus water washt and burning blood did cleanse In one baptism so for to dispense Water and blood distinguish we may so In two though one and so there be no moe Baptisms but one which cleanseth sin away By Jesus in his water and blood for ay For God in three distinguished may be And yet but one there is in verity Thus we may drink with Christ his water so In watry tears and unto blood may go And drink thereof to take with him a sup Though two yet is but one devincing cup.

left but naked Christ a poor despised man Let the Worlding know that there wil come a scattering night where thou and thy guilty portion must part horror possesse thy mind which all thy Wealth will not quiet Yea thy Father and Mother Childern c. will be found too light in that day Yea thy joy in thy Works and Knowledge Then will he say Bring out thy Righteousnesse and all thy qualities of holinesse thy joy and comfort thy Manna laid up nothing then will serve but praying to escape that hour yet shall not but believing that his grace is sufficient But we drink down sorrow like beasts or we hide as under the World or we make an aggreement and put it off We call for Mountains and high devotions to cover us but all this would not free Job nor preserve Jeremiah but down they must So the time will come that God will either by his Word and affliction try us as by fire and then shall we curse the day of our Birth or else try us at Judgement and say What have I done unto thee Wherein have I failed thee what hast thou wanted I warned thee of this night and told thee of this time but thou would not believe thy Blood be upon thine own head But I have prayed for thee How shall man do in this day of Wrath yet here is a friend at back Christ praying as to the men in the Ship and he gone into a mountain to pray So here he knew the sorrows of his people as a Man of sorrows and so prayed for them So that here we see the brotherly care of Christ So that That in great Dangers and Weaknesse of man Christ doth and is readiest to help What care had he of his Disciples and how earnestly prayed he for them Isa 63. In all their afflictions he was afflicted he leaves the ninetie and nine in the Wildernesse and seeks the lost sheep Heb. 6. VVe have a faithful High Priest touched with our Infirmities Like a loving brother if his brother be overlaid he pitieth his weaknesse and helps him if he be beat he stands by and cryes if he want he gives him half Or as the husband helps his Wife runs rides to do her good For though he was the Word of the Father yet he became a High Priest and fellow-feele of our infirmities he was given as a Testimony and witnesse to the People and the first begotten of many 1. What then are those high mystical Speculations and Comprehensions of Christ making him so high like speculative Angels This is but an airy Christ but our Christ is low and among us suffering watching praying with us and for us He comes not for these high thoughts but for pure and contrite spirits 2. What a hearting is this in trouble to endure when Christ like a husband is present in well and in woe We think our case miserable we bear the burden of sin lo he was forsaken and sick he swate water and blood he bears our weaknesse but who feel it he pities our tears but who sheds them he hears our cryes but who makes them So that all high thoughted Religion is not of Christ but of the Devil He came to bring down high mountains and Imaginations We see then that praying believers have a Friend at back praying when we are suffering Friends may sail and Riches may vanish and life taken away but he endures yesterday to day and the same for ever If then we are weak miserable Christ is never wanting That thy Faith fail not And then let him do his worst while thou sticks to me and goes with me through death and hell So that The only way of safety in all straits is a praying and believing heart and while these continue nothing can prevail Psalm 107. They cried in their distresse and he heard them we are kept by the power of God through Faith unto Salvation 1 Pet. 6 8. When stedfast resist in the Faith Psalm 9. They that know thy Name trust in th●e 1. For them their cause is wholly committed to God and to his Mercy 2. These are the weapons that overcomes by suffering 3. These overcome the World and crucifie the flesh which only worke our bayne 1. But our mouths are stopped and hearts straitned We live by conceits only we are full and pray not Want makes man pray and weaknesse him believe And so Satan never overcomes none but wise strong men these Christ rejects 2. But the time may come when we shall cry and not be heard whatever stops straitens and hinders prayer is a snare But O Praying dayes are gone But Lord increase Faith in all our hearts When thou art converted strengthen thy ●rethren This is the monition that Christ left and thou must go through much fear and have experience of sorrows yet faith shall overcome though Infidelity seem to overcome yet shall faith discover it and then by renewing Repentance Faith shall restore thee So that note That the faith and comfort of a man being over-clouded and covered is renewed by daily Repentance as in David and Peter and the Incestuous man 1. For as Christs Kingdom comes only to repenting hearts at the first and as Sin in the World by accident brought Christ into the World So sense of sin in mans heart brings Christ thither 2. Here is way made in mans heart for mercy and joy in Christ the heart driven to seek him in earnest 3. Though man build hay and stuble on this foundation yet God will destroy them by Fire the Crosse and bring back Israel with joy that went out weeping 1. But herein it is that our Faith is turned to a dead and fleshly security because repenting dayes are gone we did repent and felt the bitternesse of sin but it is all removed and joy and freedom is come thou become secure so that thus turns the eye from our selves and Christ too and so repentance is hid from our hearts Is sin lesse odious to God than before or doth he more tollerate it in thee than others Art thou not more guilty having felt his love to turn from him Is not thy Pride and Self-Will and Love thy security and high thoughts as odious to him and as great rebellion in thee as was the wanton sins in the days of thy Ignorance Hast not thou as much need of his grace and power to preserve thee as ever thou had to receive them Shall we sin because we are not under the Law but under grace Nay as hard shall thou be sifted but I will bring thee back by deep Repentance and thy Faith shall revive though for the present it fail 2. So that Faith is not preserved but by deep daily humilitie and repentance As Saint Paul though he was partaker of great gifts and more experience of Gods love and power than thousands yet hereby was it preserved He stil rejoyced in infirmities when he was weak
