A SONG OF SION Written by a Citizen thereof whose outward Habitation is in Virginia and being sent over to some of his Friends in England the same is found fitting to be Published for to warn the Seed of Evil-doers The Seed is sown from which rare fruits do spring The Plant is grown that heavenly virtues bring The dead now lives that 's risen from the graves That praises gives to him that sinners saves The morning of that day is dawned clear Wherein men may walk in Celestial Sphere Nations partake of Gospel Tidings sound Sins to forsake and in Christ to be found And happy 's he that 's liv'd to see this day And blessed be the living God alway By the Publisher With an Additional POST-SCRIPT from another Hand Printed in the Year 1662. A SONG of SION A general Warning for all men to see That now the World may fully warned be And given unto you as a lovely Song That in your mindes you may retain it long And a Witness against those let it rise That desperately Christ's Light do despise Tremble ye proud ones let your fury halt That so rebel and yet your selves exalt Now mark this well O thou America Europe also Asia and Africa BE silent now all People young and old Give ear all Nations let your eyes behold How Christ's pure Light most glorious doth appear O all mankind submit to him in fear And let your Priests for shame deceive no more For Christ doth sure destroy great Babel's Whore Which proudly doth on many Waters sit And to Christ's glorious Light will not submit But strictly will make Laws against the just And rob the harmeless to fulfil their lust Was ever Pharaoh's eye more wilful blind And think you not God's wrath as sure to find Would you prescribe how men shall serve the Lord And you your selves God's Laws never regard O wretched men would you your selves enthrone And seek to rule where Christ should rule alone Who truly will reward equal and right According as each loves or hates his Light Dare you revenge your selves upon a man That fears the Lord and not bow to you can Or for reproving you of any ill Will you your cruelty on them fulfil And for meeting together in Christ's Name Dare you make havock of them for the same Let fury cease for God's just wrath proceeds And gives to man according to his deeds Doth Corn so plentifully now abound That upright men may not work in their ground And no place else can you to them aford But prison-holes because they fear the Lord. Think you the Lord not angry is for this Or do you think that ye his stroak shall miss O consider and be astonished That you so wretchedly are hardened Let this be writ for the succeeding age To see their folly and abhor their rage That they may know the dreadful works of God And say at last these justly felt his rod. Blessed are they that in their hearts have room For Christ to raign before his anger come For dreadful time of wrath is sure at hand O faithless ones when will you understand Now let this be imprinted in your mind In time repent whilst you a time yet find Fear the Lord God cease from iniquity And love Christs Light else in your sins you die The everlasting Gospel Saints declare O all mankind to hear it now prepare All People hear both far and near of Tongues and Nations all That do belong to Princes strong of Kingdoms great or small O mind all you these words most true proceeding from above Whose just command must ever stand who dares against it move The pure Fanner gives his banner to them that fears his Name For to display in this his day and spread Truths royal fame And glorious moves his harmless doves for to declare these things O mankind all mark well your call now hear most pure tidings Fear God most high him magnifie and dread his iron rod For Nations must do what is just and serve the living God All in each land now understand obey Christ's saving Light That in you is and shews you this to walk most true and right And to beware nothing to dare with any to accord That proudly seek to turn the meek from serving of the Lord. And now behold all young and old and see your thoughts most vain Let wicked man do what he can Christ over all shall reign Therefore awake your sins forsake obey Christ's pure command All high and low him mind to know And this now understand How you in sin wilful have been greatly opposing those Which did discharge their trust at large though for it they had blowes And proud vain men do yet agen their fury greatly showe Against Christs Light with cruel spight though for it they have woe Darkness therefore such love far more than Christ's pure shining Light And Truth such hate though high they prate they stumble in the night And will not see the misery they plunge themselves into Nor yet will heed how they make speed into Tophet to go Yet some may say shew us the way this madness to forsake For certainly they go awry that do with such partake Also indeed they do exceed religions all unsound Saints words to use and yet abuse those in the Light are found To such true heart I must impart glad tydings to thee sure If thou indeed desires to feed on bread of Life most pure If thou wilt hear O then give ear also receive true sight Let nothing be so dear to thee as Christ's most glorious Light Turn thine eye in and there begin to see its brightness shine There hear the voice which may rejoyce thy soul in mirth Divine Pure Doctrine there is alway near if thou in Truth abide To walk therein and cease from sin and not from Christ to slide O who can guess or ought express how great peace such do find Whose hearts alway on Christ do stay and do him ever mind And that do love him far above man's tongue can well declare Surely they will obey him still though for 't they hated are But all the proud may houl full loud and thus lift up their cry We fools alass our dayes did pass in pride and vanity But now we find we were stark blind and did reject the Light Which now will sting everlasting sad thoughts doth now affright So remaining sad complaining may yet thus farther speak Horror and wo oppresseth so my heart as it would break Can any thing now easement bring my sins so numerous Is this my gain sorrow and pain and ends mine honour thus Can house or land or gold in hand avail my soul perplext Or can pleasures or yet treasures release my spirit vext Can Physick rare or Princely fare or musicks highest strain Or Monarchs great though in their seat such seem a while to raign Or Prince or Peer of Kingdoms here on the terrestrial Globe Add a relief unto my grief or soul of
