A66752	Ecchoes from the sixth trumpet. The first part reverberated by a review of neglected remembrances, abreviating [sic] precautions and predictions heretofore published at several times, upon sundry occasions, to forewarn what the future effects of divine justice would be, as soon as our sinnes were full ripe,if not prevented by timely repentance : most part of the predictions have been already seen or heard verified, both by the author yet living, and by many others, who observed at what times, in what manner, upon what persons, and in what places they were literally or mystically fulfilled : collected out of the said authors printed books, who conscienciously [sic] observed on what divine prophesies the said predictions were grounded, as also God's late frequent intermixture of judgments and mercies, to reclaim this generation.	Wither, George, 1588-1667.	1666 (1666)	Wing W3155; ESTC R38724	102,560	226

Or nourishments of Pride But be remembrances to show The folly of that deed By which man fell and fell so low As those base Rags to need The Second Temporary Hymn A Temporary Hymn for the First Day of the Week commonly called the Lords-Day or Sunday GReat Lord of Time great King of Heav'n Since weekly thou renew'st my dayes To thee shall daylie thanks be giv'n And weekly Sacrifice of Praise This day the Light Time's eldest born Her glorious Beams did first display And then the Evening and the Morn Did first obtain the Name of Day 2 The Depth with Darkness then empal'd That out of which the World was made And which deep Waters thou hast call'd Upon this Day beginning had And as upon this Day it was In which Creation first begun So on this Day the work of Grace In ev'ry circumstance was done 3 For on this Day thy Christ arose And Victor over Death became This Day he conquer'd all his Foes And put them to perpetual shame Upon this Day it pleased thee Thy holy Spirit down to send That men with Gifts might furnish'd be Thy Gospel's Preaching to attend 4 This day therefore we set apart For holy Rest and holy Rites And ev'ry sanctified heart To celebrate this day delights Except thereto compell'd by need Works for the Body we forbear That in those works we may proceed Which for the souls health needful are 5 Therefore that now to thee oh Lord A due Oblation bring I may Thus to thine Honor I record And sing the Blessings of this day So let me sing so mind them still And all my life so thankful be That when my Course I shall fulfil I may acceptance find with thee 6 Discretion grant me so to know What Sabbath-Rites thou dost require And Grace my duty so to do That I may keep thy Law intire Not doing what should not be done Nor ought omitting fit to do Nor over-burth'ning any one With more then thou enjoin'st them to 7 But let me rest my body so That to my Soul I do no wrong Or in Devotion heedless grow What to my Body's rest belong That both in Soul and Body Lord I may still hallow ev'ry day According to thy Holy Word And have true Rest in thee for ay The Third Temporary Hymn For MONDAY THis Morning brings to mind oh GOD Thy forming of this Airy Sphere And spreading of that Orb abro'd Wherewith we now surrounded are It was the Fabrick which thy hand Vouchsaf'd upon this day to frame And bounding Waters under land From those which are above the same 2 This Airy Firmament both keeps All breathing Creatures here below From suffocation in those Deeps Whereon till then no wind did blow To us this Firmament convayes Those Dews and Show'rs which oft we need And all those pleasant summer-Summer-dayes Whence Profits and Delights proceed 3 Yea by this Firmament we gain The Vision of refreshing Light And thereby do as well obtain The use of hearing and of sight For this dayes Workmanship oh Lord I praise thee now and humbly pray That I may thankfully record Thy daily Blessings ev'ry day A Personal Hymn for a Soveraign PRINCE BY me or by my Father's House Deserv'd it could not be That I or any one of us Obtained this Degree But GOD who dealeth forth his own As him it liketh best On me those Honours hath bestown Whereof I am poffest 2 Great hazards many undergo Such Titles to acquire Yet neither find content below Or means of rising higher What therefore can I less repay To him whose Gift it is Then otherwhile to sing or say Some such like Hymn as this 3 Let me O Lord my Diadem Unto thy Glory wear And be a Blessing unto them Who my Leige People are Let not thy favours make my heart To swell with wanton Pride Or from those Precepts to depart Which ought to be my Guide 4 But make me still in mind to bear From whom this Throne I had And that they my own Brethren are Who Ruler I was made Yea cause me evermore to heed That I and they are thine Although to serve the Publike need Their Goods and Lives are mine 5 Since ev'ry Subjects Cause to me Should equally be dear In Judgment let the poor man be As precious as the Peer And lest for them we snares may make At my chief Council-bo'rd Lord let me dayly Counsel take From thy Truth-speaking-Word 6 Those Traitors chase out of my Court Who dare pervert the Laws Or cause me by a false report To wrong an honest Cause And let thy Judgments them devour How high soe're they stand Who shall abuse my Royal Pow'r To hinder thy Command 7 Within my Realms let no man dare My Statutes to gainsay And let me live in as much fear Thy Laws to disobey So I and they whom thou on me For Subjects hast bestown Shall in each other blessed be And keep Sedition down 8 Preserve to me my Royal Dues And Grace vouchsafe me still My just Prerogative to use According to thy Will That evil men may dread my frown The Righteous comfort find And I obtain a better Crown When this must be resign'd Here ends the First Part of this Review to which a Second Part shall be added as GOD enables and permits A POSTSCRIPT THE uncertainty and changeableness of all temporal things make us accordingly mutable in our Purposes And whereas the Author of the several Books here abreviated intended a Retirement to a solitary Habitation in the place of his Nativity upon such Considerations as were expressed in the Preface of this Review his Friends resident in and near London not approving thereof have perswaded him to the contrary by making it probable That future Inconveniences would be thereby rather multiplied then diminished Now therefore by considering therewithall That where GOD's Judgments are most visible his Mercy will be there as much evidenced to all who love and trust unfeignedly in him he resolveth to continue where he is until he can stay there no longer lest he may bury himself alive by removing far from them by whose Charity GOD hath hitherto preserved him There are Faults escaped in the Imprinting or Transcribing of this Review which the Author 's late Sickness disabled him to take notice of The Readers are therefore desired to correct and amend them

the same Truths in various dressings and otherwhile in the same words when the same or like Occasions were given That Book containing Two hundred thirty three spiritual Hymns and Songs is too large to be abreviated and therefore to instance the usefulness of the rest here shall be inserted but two or three Hymns out of each Book the first relating to particular Occasions the second to Times the third to Persons that all men of all sorts might be thereby minded of their Duties at all Times and upon all Occasions as appears by this brief Narration A Friend of the Author's much affecting that Expedient as tending to the advance both of Morality and Virtue distributed many of the Books among his Acquaintance at his own cost and recommended one of them to a Person of Quality who loved Song and Musick but before he had read two lines thereof he rejected it with much contempt whereupon the other somewhat grieved asked the reason of his dislike and received this Answer Such a Character of it hath said he been given by a Learned and Pious Divine upon whose Judgment I relye that I will not lose time in perusing it Yet at last being importuned he took it up and turning to a Song which was to him instanced as demonstrating the frothiness of all the rest he began to read it aloud in slighting manner and in a ridiculous Tone but after the reading of a few lines changing his voice sate still a good space perusing it in silence then suddenly starting up said thus to his Friend I heartily thank you for this Book and for importuning me to read it I hope also it shall teach me whilst I live not to depend upon the Judgment of other men how religious or judicious soever they shall be reputed in those things wherein I ought to use my own understanding as well as theirs This is the effect of what was told the Author and it is here inserted in hope it may make some other as wise as that Gentleman The Author in his Epistles before the whole and each particular Book of that Volume hath expressed by way of Preoccupat●on somewhat to prevent prejudice and if it had been contemplatively and actually made use of according to his intention and proposals might perhaps have reduced this Generation to a better temper then Precepts without Practise have effected and made those vain Songs less delighted in which are become so numerous and so affected that pious Meditations are nigh quite out of fashion with many for not in private onely but at publike Feasts and Meetings also scurrilous and obscene Songs are impudently sung without respect to the presence of Matrons Virgins Magistrates and Divines yea sometimes are in their despight called for sung and acted with such abominable gesticulations as are offensive to all modest hearers and beholders and befitting onely the Solemnities of Bacchus Venus and Priapus for the abolishing of which Abuse the Author was a Petitioner that some provision might be made and prepared also this Expedient to promove it but the carnal prophaness of some and the sullen Religiousness of others who causlesly pretended a Superstitious Design to be therein couched hath hitherto vacated both his hope and pious Endeavours notwithstanding all his Precautions An Occasional Hymn when we first awake in the Morning DEar GOD who watch dost keep Round all that honour thee To thy Beloved givest sleep When Rest shall needful be My Soul returns thee praise That thus refresh'd I am And that my Tongue a Voice can raise To praise thee for the same 2 As now my soul doth shake Dull sleep out of mine eyes So let thy Spirit me awake That I from sin may rise The Night is past away Which fill'd us full of fears And we enjoy another Day Wherein thy Grace appears 3 Oh! let me therefore shun All Errors of the Night Thy Righteousness let me put on And walk as in the Light Protect me from his Pow'r Since I on thee relye Who walks in darkness to devour When our long sleep draws nigh 4 Grant when the Trump shall sound A summons from the Grave My Body then may from the ground A blessed rising have That whatsoe're the dreams Of my Corruption be The Vision of thy glorious Beams May bring full joyes to me A Hymn when day-light appears LOok forth mine eye look up and view How bright the day-light shines on me And as the Morning doth renew Mark how renew'd GOD's Mercies be Behold the splendors of the Day Disperse the shadows of the Night And they who late in darkness lay Have now the Comfort of the light 2 Nor Twilight-Plagues nor Midnight-fears Nor mortal or immortal Foes Had pow'r to take us in their snares But safe we slept and safe arose And to those dayes which we have had He that is Lord of Day and Night Another Day vouchsafes to add That our lost hours redeem we might 3 It is too much to have made void So many dayes already past Let this therefore be so employ'd As if we knew it were our last Most creatures now themselves advance Their Morning-sacrifice to bring The Herds do skip the Flocks do dance The Winds do pipe the Birds do sing 4 Lord why should these that were decreed To serve thee in a lower place In thankful duties us exceed Who have obtained special Grace We are oblig'd much more then those Our Voice in thankfulness to raise Therefore oh GOD our lips unclose And teach our Tongues to sing thy praise 5 Let heart and hand and voice accord This day to magnifie thy Name And let us ev'ry day oh Lord Endeavour to perform the same So when that Morning doth appear In which thou shalt all flesh destroy We shall not then awake in fear But rise to meet thy Son with joy A Hymn when we are putting on our APPAREL LORD had not man sought out by sin What was untimely known His nakedness unfelt had bin And wiser he had grown But in the stead of what he thought By lawless means to know The knowledg of those things was taught Which bringeth sense of wo. 2 Had he as forward strove to be The Fruit of Life to tast As on the Death-procuring-Tree A lustful eye to cast The happiness for him prepar'd In soul he had obtain'd And in his Body also shar'd The bliss for him ordain'd 3 But since the flesh did press to see Her wants before the time Both soul and flesh afflicted be For that presumptuous Crime And cumbred so with pain and care For Clothing and for Food That little their Endeavours are To seek their chiefest good 4 Lord with a Rose of Innocence Thy Servant so array That it may take the painful sense Of outward wants away So clothe me with thy Righteousness That though defil'd I am I may not by my nakedness Exposed be to shame 5 Let not the Garments which I wear My tender flesh to hide Be either made a lustful Snare
