the Throne And sing forth praises unto thee And do rejoyce to own Poor creatures and to be emploid Swiftly up and down Although they always do behold The high and blessed Crown But O it is most bitter Lord To walk on English ground ' Mongst those that so oppose thy truth And in errour abound O it is very sad to me To go ' mongst old or young That do slight thy most pretious things And say its a mixt tongue It is grievous unto my soul To walk here up and down Thou therefore tak'st me up to thee And let'st me view thy Crown And City which shineth so rare Thy river there is choice And there 's the Tree of life also There I shall hear thy voice In the midst of my sorrows here These things thou shewest me And they refresh me very much In my captivity O thou my soul my soul thou lov'st To see

flaming sword is also there That it might run through all That would be striking at this Tree Thinking to make it fall But who so striketh at this Tree The flaming sword shall cut And those that cavil at Spirit Shall surely have the hurt Some in this Generation Pretending much for Grace Say it was for all not only some But this doth it deface And though that Christ doth with sweet voyce Call to rebellious ones And they are left without excuse None can come to the Throne But such as in foreknowledge were O this is glorious Grace The Deity doth here shine forth In its election face O the Son he doth magnifie The Fathers grace and love But yet the Son he doth not spoyle Foreknowledge from above And poor Souls you will not then think Upon free will so much If you go forth to Jesus Christ And have redemptions touch O look unto the son of God Fo he foreknowledg knew And all the glorious things that so From Gods election grew And when souls rightly take a view O it is through Christs light Else its dangerous to look On that which is so bright The sword that was about the tree It had a lovely flame It did sorround foreknowledg tree That nothing could it stain The very spirit that did move In first creation so It also doth defend this tree Against the evill foe And O this glorious tree is-kept Though Babylon would have slain And hath indea voured by all means This flaming love to stain But O the sword is about it And this your faith shall see And therefore look up to the Lord For there is victory And do not fly against spirit Which doth so much appear For the truths of the diety And would draw your souls near Ezekiell he was taken up And did in vision bright Behold the glorious Diety He had a precious sight Of severall winged creatures when God thus did him up call For

that was made And the spirit these three are one In all that then was said Then in redemption spirit comes And thereof he do h talk And shews the blessed royall King In his redemption walk The spirit of the son hath told And of the Father dear And to the creature doth apply And bringeth this love near The spirit reads originall book Not for himself alone But to apply redemption To the poor weeping

when he did rise from grave With Godhead spirit high He minded Maries tears and then Did pitty weeping eye It was his work for to ascend And swiftly go to throne Yet when a weeping Mary comes Hee 'l not leave her alone Without some words of comfort O He must to Mary talk And also send to Bretheren Who likewise love his walk She cries Rabbony and would touch But prethee Mary stay For I am not ascended yet Saith he but go that way He did not stay I cant now talk But wipes away her teares And speaks most kindly unto her That so she might not fear O what a glorious Christ is this That doth say I am he And what'a bright and flaming love May poor hearts in him see While she was weeping he do h speak And unto her doth come While you have eares on cheeks for him He will bring comfort home Unto your soul and you shall drink And have your fill of love And it shall rise up to a flame And carry you above O come then and do you behold The King in his high reign In full compleat persection

your rest And love the Gospell very dear And covenant that is best And be sure you observe what doth Come from the King of Kings And let none lead your souls away From that which comfort
brings But O observe the true Gospell For it is choice indeed And it is very glorious For the soul on to seed How sweetly died Sillinghast In Gospell sound so choice And O how much did his soul prize Thee in new covenant voice O he was faithfull unto thee And much comfort did bring To thine how sweet's his rising day That kept close to the King And did not from new covenant start Love swallowed up his prime And he did witness very high To truth of latter time O how sweetly did Pendâ—rvis Take farewell of all here And was faithfull in testimony And in obedience dear He stood unto new covenant Did not to Sinai run Nor to stone-tables for a rule But did to Zion come O how lovely and sweet was he Who morned for Davids spirit Who did so much desire his march That he might his inherit His soul was sad and could not bear Any should take in hand What was against the blessed son For whom he up did stand O his name and fame it shall live From first unto the last He greatly loved thee and did To thy commands stand fast And every where did speak for thee His heart was on a flame O he was faithfull unto Christ And to his blessed raign And O how sweetly did he speak Forth in the spirits sound Of the commands of Jesus Christ When he went on this ground He own'd the poorest one that he Did look upon as thine And did praise Jesus Christ in all O his soul did incline Unto thy glorious Kingdome and Did long for thy high throne And to behold thy blessed face That art the smiting stone How sweetly did he set thee forth And how did he oppose Those that were not for Christ that is The onely Sharon rose He did not care what any said But kept unto record This is the evill of this day Souls do go from the Lord But sweet were the commands of Christ Unto this servant dear They were to him most pure and bright And did refresh and chear O what a glorious frame is this Sure it is very safe And it wi l certainly lead souls In to the straightest gate O lovely died Pendarvis Lovely was his renown And every way most pretious And blessed is his Crown He was lovely in principles Lovely in Doctrine And lovely in his practice too Which beautified him Blessed was he in holiness Which did so sweetly shine In his most humble holy look With countenance divine He died unto yoke-fellow And unto children dear And early in the morning he Approches the throne near That so for dear Jerusalem He might with face on ground Go weep and mourn unto the Lord Who will by such be found He waked early that he might For poor Jerusalem go Unto the throne and there he wept That others did not so O this beloved blessed one Did long so after thee And thou didst Crown his daies and life With spirits melodie And he was not rash with his tongue But he did speak most meek He was a choice and lovely one He was a dilicate sheep And a sweet pleasant Psalm thou hast Sent for this lovely one Who did delight in Jesus Christ More then in any one O that others did also mind This example so rare That they might go forth after him That is so bright and fair And my heart doth to children go I would ly at thy feet And beseech thee to carry them Unto thy Gospell fear O I could even die O Lord That they might live to thee And embrace that pure Gospel law Where is such melodie O that those poor souls would now come From that which is so dark From Sina's law which even doth Shoot like a peitcing dart O it doth shoot ' gainst thee O Lord How can I it embrace For it shoots against the covenant Which hath such glorious grace Though thy Gospell-commands I love And fellowship would crave Yet I had rather go to earth And ly in the deep Grave Then to enjoy it with those that Doe so love Sina's walk How can I embrace it with them That for that covenant talk O I cannot have fellowship Though I in it delight For so to hear my Saviour wrong'd Is grievous in my sight But O I would have fellowship With faithfull reall spirits According to a Gospell rule Through my dear Saviours merits O fellowship is sweet indeed And will be till I die And then a witness you shall have To it that is more high With testimony against those That are apostates great And against Seperates also That do love Sina's seat I matter not what any say Who will not these things own For I shall still sing more of it And for thy raigning throne O lovely spirit thou art best That cometh down to me And carries forth my soul in this Choice and sweet harmony O rare spirit O thou art rare That shineth forth so pure Thou art the high and blessed one That shall allwaies indure O spirit thou art very choice That Ioel said before Should after Christ come down and it Is come and shall much more O rare spirit thou art the same Come to Disciples then And did seal unto Joels word For after ages men But not to seal and terminate It only unto them But the first fruits it was of that Shall be to latter men And thy handmaids were promised Much of that spirit choice And it is and it shall come forth In a rare singing voice It shall be poured all along While that the ages last But Antichristian Rabby's do Indeavour this to blast The glorious choice spirit Souls O the annointings sweet They 'l make you sing and quickly lay All others at your feet The spirits sweet anointings souls O what will they not do Go to the Lord for the spirit In his discoveries new A holy spirit souls it is Which you have seen this day And the spirit hath come forth here In the Creation way O love spirit which doth so come In first Creation sound And see the progress he hath made And none shull you confound O in the dayes of vision You shall spirit behold And be affected much with him That shineth more than Gold He is a glorious royal one He is eternal Light It is reason you should wait on him That is so high and bright O come dear souls come and try it See if it be not more Than any spirit that 's on earth Or hath been heretofore O come poor souls come peevish ones O come and now draw near And tell me souls if any do So gloriously appear O come and try the spirit souls What can you to it say It is the voice of God indeed In resurrection way O come and try the spirit souls And see what it doth bring Is not the messenger most sweet That cometh from the King O come and try the spirit spirit souls O it is full of love And it is sent forth unto you It cometh from
I know O the Lord bless you every way Strangers examine your ends Examine that so you may enjoy The blessings that he sends Strangers examine whether you Come fancie for to please Or to hear that so you may practise That which the King doth please You do not meet with any thing here That Ordinances deny But opposeth the filth of sin That is odious in his Eye Comers what do you come for this day O poor hearts that you might find Such a discovery as may make you Depart from an Erronious mind The spirit it is a sober spirit In word in life and all And the spirit requires such And doth them to worship call Now I will sweetly roul my self In his most lovely breast And do you go return praise And in him take your rest A Hymme comparing Davids Sling-stone and the Stone in Daniel OH King David

who stand for him shall be In every thing here blest They that for King David will speak They shall not losers be For he will give to them great things Much their eyes shall see The stone through enemies it doth go And break their Camps so great It makes the whole body of foes Utterly here to splits The stone when that it doth plerce And cast Goliah down Then all the other souldiery Are scatter'd in every Town And this will the stone surely do Within the English soil It will come forth and wound the foes That will their Camps then spoil The little stone out of the Brook Shall sure be taken up And through the sling it shall forth fly Proud boasters down to pluck The stone though it be smal yet 't is A smooth stone which will flie So that none can escape its stroak For 't will make all foes die Though a little stone yet it doth grow Into a Mountain great Which will overtop all Mountains And their forces defeat Though a stone yet such a mighty stone No weight can it compare It falls so weighty on proud men It doth ten thousands tear Though a little stone yet it will last And sure it will prevail 'T will break the Castles the Mounts And open Prison goals Though a little stone it will command The Towns both far and nigh It will draw up Jordan Rivers And also make them dry Though a little stone yet it will sure Jerico waâ—ls breake and lay And batter alâ— Fortifications That rise up in this day Though a ittle stone it will consume And cast Egyptians down ' I will ruin all Gomorrahs and All Sodoms filthy towns Though a little stone yet it will wound And cast Leviathans lows O 't will break all the jaws of those Who do it from them throw Though a little stone 't will break down Towns And ruin Islands too And go through all Europe also Every Tyrant to undo Though a little stone it is so frim There 's none can make a flaw No defilement can reach the stone Which will bring to its barre It will indeed pass sentence on The perjur'd sort of men And vow-breakers 't will utterly slay And undo their greatness then Though a little stone yet 't will go forth Through the Nations that are large O it will indeed not be kept up Nor swim in a little barge O 't will faile through great ships unto The remore places farther And there 't will do most great exploits To the praise of the Father The little stone 't will the image smite And 't will break both toes and legges Yea thighs and arms it will slay it 'T will sure wound all their heads 'T will cast down every one who doth So insolently appear O therefore call now thy friends up That they may draw

thee betray and cheat Be it so saith the Son yet I Will not start from thy will But cheerfully goe one and not In any tittle sail But son to adde unto all this They 'l sell thee to the foe And thy

there about And if a stranger bear my cross 〈◊〉 shall see grace shine out And I shall the more thee admire Therefore I do not fear To venter upon the whole work To bring deliverance here O but my son there will come more Thou must be nailed to cross And there hang between two robbers This thou must have at last Well if it be so yet I will still Say thy work it is sweet For I shall there meet with

none may thee remove But saith the son though stones be strong And sepulchre sealed up I know that thou wilt reach thy hand Thou my God wilt me pluck But son thou must lay there three dayes And many hearts will flag Well saith Christ though they do yet My voice shall make them glad O I do know there hearts although They do question yet I Will carry resurrection flame And quickly open eyes My Iohn

did tempt Him at God law to smite When that they were in Paradise The serpent to them came With his subtill temptations And they yeeld to the same The creature had not honour now In the fields as before O he had loft his glory by This lustfull sinfull gore When that he was in paradâ—se Obedient to the Lord All things submitted unto him And sweetly did accord In a spirit of holiness And when that comes again The Devill he shall be bound up In everlasting chain In the creation of poor man How did the spirit shine O it was a most royall peice That had image divine What exellency did appear And shine in every thing What a choice work-manship was that Which from these three did spring And when that man did walk about And the cattle behold And the Birds which so sweetly sing They did to him unfold The diety and on the deep The spirits breath was choice And all the little birds did sing To man with cheerfull voice And mans work was more Excellent And looked pleasantly I am delighted very much To behold this glory For he was Lord and master then And raised over all And he most sweetly did rejoyce Before his lust and fall O his countenance it was rare His beauty excellent His form and fashion and his grace From very high discent And for him thou hast sweetly brought A most pleasant Psalm here And the Godhead appeares in it Most pretiously and clear O spirit thou didst move on dust O spirit thou didst come And rear up man and breath in him That is the lovely one But O when the serpent did tempt He was disobedient And his image is defaced then And his glory from him rent But notwithstanding this great fall He 's raised through the merit Of thy dear son and by him shall A glorious seat inherit Then in creation of female Thou tookâ—st his rib and bone And did command a sleep on him And didst thy work alone But not a sleep in order to Ioying in body or mind That could not be because it was The rare perfection time It was not a sleep as now wee take But it was a resting sweet And suddenly thou then didst make For him a help most meet But why didst thou lay him asleep O thou didst make him see That he must not be taken in To the work of the Three He must not so presume and reach Though a soul rare and choice Yet he must not attempt to joyn With the great diety voice He is poor dust and must not bee Taken in councell here Though he be of a glorious make He must not here appear The spirit also mov'd herein And opened joynts and bone And did make up a Curious piece Here appear'd three in one And then the work it was compleat Meet help to him is left That so they might in paradise Talke in that sweet choyce breath O then the work it was most pure It looked very sweet O diety the Birds of thee In singing notes did meet Birds Beasts and Plants all thee did praise And were usefull to him In the prime first Creation days Before that man did sin And the most glorious God desired But one thing in this seat To be reserved for himself Amongst his gifts so great And the Devill begins with that And cunningly said it Was good for them but his drift was Mans innocence to split But the spirit the spirit was So choyce so high and rare The serpent could not hit at that Nor his glory lay bare O he could not meedle with that But it was above all It remained bright glorious great Though man had such a fall The glorious tree the gooly tree The knowledge tree so high The fruit that was forbid by God The serpent at did fly The Devill he did fly at it Times at foreknowledg high The Bargain it was very great And much in it did lie The serpent for foreknowledge would Readyly part withall So he might have an insight there He would let all else fall The serpent strikes at foreknowledge To Children it is dear But his destruction is therein For to be seen most clear The serpent he did come and doth With subtilty beguile Poor Eve alas they quickly are With subtil mischief foyl'd And when poor man is fallen he Is like to one amas'd He cannot tell whether to goe But doth about him gase For Birds and Beasts all are against Him that to him before Were in subjection and did yeeld They will not now adore Nor he cannot see as before The paradice sweet shine For sin and Satan had come in And spoyl'd what was divine All things do look ghastly and pale Upon poor fallen man O they do not as heretofore In full perfection stand O they run in the thickets then And hide in darkest place They are ashamed to appear Before the Almighties face But in the Cool God comes and calls Adam where art thou now But Adam was affraid because He did to Satan bow Adam what is become of thee O what doest thou do there O dost thou think from my presence To hide thee any where The serpent hath beguiled thee And thou dost think to hide But thou shouldst have been more watchfull Against temptations side Satan did make thee to beleive That thou shouldst be as God But thou shalt find he did deceive And meet a scourging rod. But O foreknowledge now steps in And for poor man doth plead And discovers election And shew that Christ must bleed O foreknowledge that doth step in And thâ—n the Serpent dyes And he doth wallow in the dust And on the ground doth lye He that once was an Angel bright Is cast down to the Lake And never shall with fallen man Be partaker of Grace And the original of Sin And Satan did take place And so alas did bring about Mans fall and his disgrace Foreknowledge brings election out And doth declare that love And sheweth from Eternitie What cometh from above For in original is set Gods foreknowledge so great And O let not free willers now Account of this a cheat It 's true the Serpent chased man From out the glorious place But O the Serpent could not spoyle His interest in Grace For the Eternal Son steps in Unto poor fallen man And he 's recovered again By a most royal hand According unto foreknowledge And election indeed The Lord doth presently provide This choice and pretious seed This flourishing foreknowledge tree In despite of all soes Doth still indure and stand upright And it shall ever grow It 's the foreknowledge of a God It looks most fresh and green O it appears most pleasantly There 's nothing like it seen But Satan labours many waies At foreknowledge to strike And to eclipse its glory and Saith it was from foresight Of something that poor man should do That it was from sight of worke And thus the Devils instruments Do at foreknowledge pluck But the Tree of foreknowledge stood

And victory throughout O spirit it is powerfull In these thy comings down O what a mighty royalty In beholding thy Crown O what a Noble King is Christ How he appears in sight When any opposition comes Against children to sight I was an eye and ear witnesse to this Psalm against the Quakers and heard many of their impudent objections I shall instance some The men came in sate down in the room at the end of two hours spake against the truth at the name of Christ and electing him then the voice answered their severall objections which are in the Psalm they said we were told she could neither hear nor see and yet she answered in words and names me one in the room at which they raged higher and spake against the Kingdome truth but the Lord sent down a louder voice that did drown this and so swift that the writer could not take all but as you may read victory so I can witnesse that it had victory over them that they were not able to tarry in the room but went away raging against the truth in the Psalm pray mark the Psalm read it again and again much incouragement to those that have the truth at that time to see such a decision of truth against error O what a victory O Lord Doth from Jesus Christ come O God the Father doth appear Most clearly in his Son O what a victory O Christ Doth shine forth in thy face In thy bright resurrection And in thy glorious grace Victory over death and sin A Royall victory By him that now in spirit doth Against the Devil cry O what a glorious victory God in it doth come down Against all that Satan can do His blessed truth to crown O what a victory is this That God to us doth show That by the very powers of Hell Can never have a blow A glorious victory indeed O souls will you come in And close with Jesus Christ this day And part with every sin Victory victory I sing In this triumphing day Over the Devil Hell and Sin And fears shall flie away When the Spirit is poured out O let not children fear Although the Devil in his doth rage And at out-goings tear The glory of the Lord is here O then let Children Behold his power and Majesty And stand in aw of him Unto thy children thou wilt give What is to thee most dear O thou wilt shew kindnesse to them That unto thee draw near O thou art faithfull unto them They shall with comfort meet That â—o keep close to Jesus Christ And prize his spirit sweet O blessed be the glorious Lord He will with us abide And will appear ' gainst those that do Against his spirit side O blessed be the Lord that doth A victorious Psalm bring O praised be that mighty God That in Spirit I sing Praised be God hath so poured And so flowed forth here Against that hellish light that would Thy own appearance tear But O thy children O Lord They shall abide and stand And be kept close unto thy word By thy outstretched hand O thy children have not an ear To hear their lying tongue Thy own children shall not receive What from hell forth doth come Thy children shall not embrace The cheats that go about But they shall be kept to the day Of Redemption throughout Thy children are kept so fast By the power of the Son That now they cannot start aside Though such inchantments come And praised be God for that which We here have found this day Of God and Jesus Christ which doth In our souls bear sway O You are very safe who do Sit down and sup with Christ Who have his prepared body So freshly brought in sight You have heard of the body which God prepared for you To be broken that still you might His love afresh still view O 'T is a Royall body Friends I know you love it dear And that you do not at all mind What against it appears O 't is a royall body souls What can you of it say Have you embraced Jesus Christ In the Fathers own way O see how spirit Jessifres Against the Devils lies O let it therefore teach your souls For it more up to rise The more you do love God poor souls And Jesus Christ do see The more you will prize and esteem Of spirits melody O you his beloved children dear You should for spirit stand You that profess for Jesus Christ And for Jerusalems Land Give thanks to God that overcame Though you so sinfull be And this very God will appear Against all Treachery And go away you vile ones that Do so kick against him You are defi'd by spirit and He manifests your sinne O go thy way from spirits shine Which here appears throughout And against thee this day doth plead And thy deceitfull mouth But 't is not in thy power to break This pleasant Harmony Although thou comest with hellish tricks Against it for to flie This Vision was the night before the Quakers came shewed to her but she knew not of their coming but the Lord did provide for their coming By this we understand the rise of them and in what strength we must encounter with them Lord thou the vision hast fulfill'd That I this night did see For thou shewedst a grievous thing That did come to bite me Thou shewedst a Cocatrice to me And it was very high And it had teeth that were most sharp And against me it did she Its teeth were like to iron Even like iron strong And a fiery eye I did behold As it did passe along It first came in most cunningly And a while it did walk But at last it did open mouth And against me did talk O what a terrible sight dear Lord Did I in night behold But then came power from above And of it I did take hold It was a very grievous sight Unto my fleshly pare But O the Lord did then appear And strengthened my heart For O thou didst bring forth O Lord The other night a Vision sweet For a Lamb then there did appear That stood slain for
the sheep O Lion diâ—st shew a Lamb to me With pleasant countenance That did appear most lovely slain And did my soul advance To him and this did strengthen me For the slain Lamb to stand That is so faithfull unto me In his protecting hand The one night a Lamb I did behold The other a Coccatrice And the former did strengthen me For it could do no lesse O the Lamb it did stand by me I knew not what it did mean Till that the Coccatrice appear'd And strove to make me lean O I did see a Lamb so stand With countenance most bright But did not know the meaning till The other appear'd in sight And this Lamb my soul must extoll In a triumphing voice And O it s this thou canst not bear Though it be sweet and choice God hath sent forth his Spirit in power The God head to maintain And the body that is prepar'd Against thy criticall brain O the choice faith of Gods elect The Devil much doth spight And election he can't endure But against it doth sight The Devil doth election hate Against foreknowledge flies But the Spirit according to Scripture doth Give him and thee the lie But O election love is sweet O it is choice and pure O Faith must needs lay hold on that That thou canst not endure For through electing love poor man Was set upon his feet And was made to revive again Through election sweet And through grace was strengthened And grew and flourish'd brave And Christ delighted for to come And bring this through his grave And though poor man had many a foe Against him for to fight Yet that faith ariseth to God That comes from his Almight For so the Gospel doth declare Where Christ sweedy appears And that word bringeth forth from him By which the soul draws near O faith is that the which the Lord Greatly embraces still O It is that which sweetly doth Your soul with good things fill Faith works by love and love in faith O companions is dear O what an Harmony is that Which herein doth appear Faith it doth justifie the Soul So as to condemn sin And faith it purifies the heart The which Christ down doth bring Faith it doth justifie the soul It doth it in Christs way He is the object of that faith Which in true ones bears sway Faith it doth justifie from sin And it is very pure Faith it commends the Love of God And shall for Christ endure O Faith it is prevailing for Victory is found therein That nothing can prevail against For it is from the King How excellent is faith O Souls O what of it have you That so you may most chearfully Embrace the Lord anew O embrace Jesus Christ O Souls With a most royall faith For O it is this will learn you To live at a high rate O faith it is most precious This day it doth appear For the Devil he cannot bear When it doth shine forth clear O Souls now what of faith have you That hath been spoke of here And hath so mightily shined forth Against such fiâ—thy gear If thy pen hath written it down I shall be very glad Because the power of God this day Greatly the Psalm hath clad If thy pen hath writ the swift Psalm I shall praise the most high For it is worthy of thy pen Thy Spirit it did fly That so the earth may hear of it And that it may appear What a mighty Spirit God did send While vile ones did draw near It will make all true hearts rejoyce And you chiefly I know That have been witnesses to it When it did overflow A very blessed Psalm O souls That had victory at hand To sing and triumph when that they The Spirit did withstand O will not this establish you In love to Spirits light That hath so great power and strength With the Devil to fight O if the Spirit remains in you It will bear rule indeed And it will raise you unto him That here for sin did bleed Will you remember such a time When any would you fear How that the glorious Spirit did All oppositions tear A condemning power Spirit hath Received against all That do oppose and strike against The high Salvation wall Here is as much as could be taken concerning the Quakers the Psalm being so very swift it could not all be writ Feb. 7. 1657. CHrist person shewed what Angels spake To those dear ones of old His glorious person did shew sorth The figures and unfold The Tipes this branch from Jacob came That John did see so bright Which did open the seased book And his tears from him wipe The person of Christ Jacob did see When he travelled on the way He saw the Heavens opened And was comforted in that day He saw the royal Lâ—dder there Whereon divin nature walked Whereon the Angels loved to look And of it to Jacob talked Jacob must see God but he could Not come him for to reach Till the ladder was laid to Earth Wherein Christ body was preacht And carried up his eyes to behold And see the glory high Which did greatly revive Jacob And quickened much his eye The person of Christ did make out All that old Israell saw The Altar and the Tabernacle The person of Christ convey The person of Christ did shew forth the Rare mercie sea so choice Which was in the Arke and he holds out Clea ly in Gospel voice Its meaning he brought clearer light He comes in rich array With girdle of Gold about his paps Which John saw in his day The person of Christ brought forth free grace Which was discovered then When that his person did up rise Amongst the sons of men The person of Christ shewed the High-Priest In his great office choice And in the priviledges he had To utter forth his voice The person of Christ shewed the High-Priest In all his rich array And fully declares the deliverance And the redemprion day The person of Christ declares Tabernacle In all its ove-layings with Gold For he did shine brighter than it And more glory unsold The person of Christ did shew forth Solomons royal seat And sweetly discovered every Tipe And preacht them at high rate His person did not allegorize them As notional brains do As it they were not real truths But inward fancies new But the person of Christ breaks notions And doth not truths so take And speaks not like the Notionist But after true Records rate For the person of Christ the Father intrust With the Records throughout And he is faithfull to his God And speaks plainly of them out The person of Christ is intrusted with The Record of Diety And he doth strike down all this way Of mens false allegory The person of Christ sheweth forth all Is in him whom is chief The Comprehender of the whole Where only is relief And none but God-man comprehends The types and figures all For they did but him represent Whom is the all in all
