years lately pnst and so am now VVithout suspect of ought which may be fal VVhether my gathering shall be much or small Yea now while I behold d●spairing fear In most mens faces almost evry where Although the day now very gloomy be Though falling off our Chariot-wheels I see Their Drivers with much difficulty driving Against Waves Rocks and Sands our Leaders striving And GOD in this day of our great distress Within a Black Cloud hiding yet his Face A Glummering I naytheless perceive Of Mercy shining on all who believe With Symp●oms of the like aspect to them Who yet believe not if they turn to him Turn therefore oh return unto him now Hear him and he will give an ear to you But I fear most men so corrupt are grown That my words are on them in vain bestown Lest therefore what I write they heed the less I at this present will no more express And since in our case there 's no help in Man His aid I will implore who help us can LEt GOD arise Arise LORD I implore thee And let all those who hate thee fly before thee Rebuke them who thy Adversaries are The Bulls and Calves who take delight in War Aswel the Common People as their Kings Till all the world to thee due tribute brings Lee those destroying Angels which are sent To chastise us make a distinguishment Between them who through Hum●ne frailty sin Without persisting wilfully therein And such as have been unto thee and Thine Malitious Foes a long time by Designe Or who not onely against us now be Confederates but likewise against Thee In Mercy look again on us and those Who are at this day our professed Foes Lest the pursuit of what is yet intended Consumes both Nations ere the war be ended Now so unclose the Eyes of evry Nation Which hath pretended to a Reformation That they may see how much they have been blinded How they depraved are and howself-minded So prudent make all Governours and Kings So qualify the Peoples murmurings So let thy holy Spirit sanctifie Each Congregational Societie So shew to evry Individual one What ought to be believd and to be done Together and Apart which may improve That Principle of Vniversal Love In which the Being of the world begun Whereby preserved while Time wheeleth on And by which that perfection shall be gaind Which was by thy Eternal Love ordaind That we regenerated may become And not continue till the day of Doome So stupified in our sins as they Who were at last with Water washd away Or Sodom-like in sinning persevere Until with Fire consumed as they were But let what thou haft done sufficient be To turn thee unto us and us to Thee I do confess shouldst thou be so severe As but to heed how bad the best men are Among us all there could be found out none Who might be called Righteous no not one Of whatsoever Calling or Degree Whether Priest Prophet a King it be Or of the common Rank Lord naytheless In Mercy and in thy Sons Rigteousness Vouchlafe to look upon us and to cure Our single and our joynt distemp'rature At this time to those Lustings put an end Which makes us more then brutishly contend For trifles and to brawl curse lye and swear Like Dogs for bones to scramble scratch and tear Fight wound and kill each other without heed Of what we do or of what may succeed Yea so inhumanely as if now here The Devils clothd with Humane bodies were Hell as it were broke loose and they come hither With purpose to bring Hell and Earth together That which this may portend secure us from Hallow thy Name and let thy kingdom come Thy will be done on Earth as t is in Heaven Give us the bread of Life and that forgiven Our sins may be let us forgive each other And henceforth live in Amity together On us let not temptations then prevail When then permittest any to ●ssail Our persons that we may in our Probations Be constant and enjoy our expectations Let neither presnt past or future evil The temptings of the World the First or Devil Hive powre to harm or fright us any more With Plagues and Wars as now and heretofore Especially let them not us insnare With those sins whereof these the wages are Wholly to thee our selves let us resigne Consels the Kingdom Powre and Glory thine Without a partner and henceforth forbear To seek our Kingdom Powre and Glory here Whilst that time lasts wherein in things yet remain Undone which to thy Glory appertain And wherein we must further be imployd Before the Man of Sin shall be destroyd Who very oft usurps a lodging where Thy Kingdom is although he Reigns not there Him to resist vouchsafe Assisting Grace To every one of us in his own place Preserve us blameless in that Dispensation Whereto a Conscentious inclination Without self-ends hath joynd us so to use Our Liberty that we do not abuse The Christian Freerdom by including on Thy Right or by imposing that upon Anothers conscience by usurped powr Which we would not should be imposd on our And so incline those also to do thus To whom thou givest power over us That none may to obey them forced be By being disobedient unto thee But let our Duties be performd in Peace To thee and to all men in Righteousness And that both We and our Superiours too May be the more kept heedful what to do Make them to know that if in what relates To Thee the humane Laws or Magistrates Must be obeyd in all they shall command However they or we shall understnd Thy 〈◊〉 reveald then if the Kingdom be The Turks or Popes we mast believe as he And thy will and thy Deity thenceforth Stand for a Cyther or for what 's less worth For tha● will be the consequence thereof Though Politians at his Truth will skoff Me therefore unto what thou callst me to Keep firm in spight of all the world shall do The single and the joynt Humiliation of King and People bless with acceptation Although what hath been done prayd or consest Will not abide thy Sanctuery Test For hope of an acceptance none there is If thou shouldst mark all things that are am'ss And sav'd from what 's deserved here would neither Be Good or Bad men but sink altogether Let in one Duty none be so ●mployd That all the rest be sleighted or made void So let us Hear that we as aswel may Do As Hea ken what thy word perswades unto So let us strive to Do that having done The best wee can wee trust not thereupon And so Believe too that wee may improve Our Faith still more both by Good works and Love Remembring it is Love that doth fulfil The Law the Gaspel and thy total will Let thin own Spirit help urs so to pray That wee may minde Thee more then what we say Since to Speak words less needful is to thee Then telling our own hearts what our thoughts be And chiefly used that we might discern Or h●●d the better those things which concern Our selves and Brethren because none can show That unto thee which thou didst not foreknow Words oft are sooke to others with intent To counterfeit that which was never ment To such ends as we ought to make Addressings To thee are all my Prayers and Confessings To such ends I now offer here in words Those Musings which my narrow heart affords And which drawn and prest out of it have been By those great streights we still continue in To such ends 1 implore thee in this mode Accept of this Oblation my dear GOD Give us his Righteousness who took our Guilt Love us and then do with us what thou wilt These MusingS mee did waking keep When other men were fast asleep And may when I a nap am taking Keep others peradventure waking GOD grant we may so help each other To watch by turns or altogether That when the Bridegroom doth appear Although at midnight we may hear And keep our Lamps in such a Trim That we may entrance have within Written June 17. this sad year MDCLX VI.
