Highly commend his seat O Iohn o thou didst see the Son And Fathers honour high And the Angels that do delight About the throne to fly And thou didst sing Haleluja's note In the most glorious sound And all this it is coming forth Babylon to confound O thou shewest all croking frogs Should fall into the lake Though now they testifie against Christ And at his spirit gape Iohn thou hadst lovely visions sweet Thou sawest witness die And thou sawest them revive againe And Babylonians fly And thou declaredst of their fall That they should surely dye Thou also sawest the Kings raigne 'T was he opened thy eye O Iohn thou didst see holy ones Round about the Kings throne That often had sighed for Christ With many a longing grone O thou shewedst the lovely Bowe About the seat so high Which no Babylonians can approach For it will make them fly O Iohn thou sawest and didst write Through the spirit most choice And didst cry Haleluja With a sweet praysing voice Thou excellent beloved one Thy visions were most clear Thou enteredst and hadst a sight And didst the voices hear 'T was thou that shewedst the eternal Which from God forth did come And didst witness unto the same For him that is the Son And Iohn thou also dost declare Unto the Godhead high That amongst men did take a seat And for sinners did die Thou shewest the resurrection And what ' gainst foes should be And speakest of the voice of speech And of that high glory Thou then was drawn so neer to it And enterance didst make To view the bright rare shining son That did thee to him take Up invision in Patmos Isle O there he did appear The same Lord Jesus whom thou lovest In bosome to lye neer O glorious is the vision Lord Of the latter dayes time And yet this generation Doth not the vision minde Except it be through Rabbi's voice Their wise and prudent men But few of these did see the Sun He w'ant made known to them O how did Iohn weep untill that The Book was opened But then he soon was raised up And in him rejoyced That was found worthy to unseal O he did take delight To see what latter flock should have In his clear vision light He saw the Candlesticks of Gold So pure so fair and bright And view'd the Stars the which also Were brought unto his sight He loved for to behold the throne And one the Elders look And rejoyc'd at the opening Of the Lambs sealed Book This loving John this loving John How still he higher goes And also he the Gosple preach'd To sinners and to foes But when he comes to see the throne O how joy did abound O then he sung Haleluja to The Lord for his high Crown When he into the City comes That was so paved with Gold O he rejoyced very much In that perfect rare mold When he into the City comes Where the fresh Rivers be He is refreshed and doth pluck Fruit from the living tree When he into the City comes O there he doth behold The marvelous rich shine there is Brighter then any Gold When he into the City comes Where Christ is admired How glad is he to see the Lord His Saviour and his head O what a lovely way is this That the spirit him led To see and to behold the Lamb That for his sins had bled O what a dilicate sight had John When spirit did him call To see his Saviour so dear The City and the wall The walls and Bulworks he did see That be so very strong O it was a choice sight indeed None can this City wrong Alas poor souls you can't it see You can't tell what is here Except it be for that vision That in Patmas appear'd You gaze and hear a while I know Some wonder for to see But O you cannot so take in This pretious melody Alas you cannot see it so You

what a witnesse art thou John Of Christ and of his spirit O thou shalt sit on Elders seat Through thy dear Saviours merit John thou wilt not offended be That hand-maids here should sing That they should meddle to declare The matters of the King John will not be displeased that They sit about the throne And go unto original And nothing else will own John he will not oppose and speak Contesting against that But O John will be pleased with What layeth flesh so flat O John will not condemn the song But rejoyce that the King Hath hand-maids that are risen up To speak the truth for him O John O loving John thou wilt Be like thy master here For when on earth he went about Hand-maids to him were dear O what a glorious writer's John That goeth down so deep Into the hidden mysteries To fetch matter and speech O John he declares Christ as man And Christ as God also And thus he will oppose and smite Those that against him go And when the Antichristians came John he waxed more bold In any thing if they deny Christ he will faster hold For he is the eternal light He is very God and man The bright the holy and pure One Thus of him speaketh John And hee 'l not let this truth to go For it was what he knew He said he is the Alpha and He is the Omega too O John he had enjoy'd the seal That cometh from above And therefore John and Mary doth Abound so much in love O blessed be the Lord of love That doth with spirit crown In bringing forth that harmony The which doth here abound Halelujah Halelujah will I here for ever sing For thou with Crown and Scepter here Dost shew thy self as King

set them on high seat Thy Word and offer it is plain Thy method it is choyce O every unbelieving heart Pray come and heat this voice This day thou hast thy kindnesse shown Though many do disdain Yet thou hast some choice spirits here That do not count it vain Thou here hast sober ones O Lord To whom thou hast been sweer And they do relish the rare things They do in spirit meet O thou hast some choice ones O Lord That in thy heart do see And thou art loving unto them That follow after thee O thou dost love poor hearts O Lord That will not thee deride Although thou comest in a way That wise ones do despise O thou dost love poor souls that will Not from reproofe them hide Though that the spirit meets with sin And at corruptions chide O thou dost love poor souls and say O do not open mouth ' Gainst that which offers grace to you And would your sins cast out Come here saith love and be no more Desirous of that Which will bring death and hell at last And lay your glory flat O come poor soul saith love O come Where hast thou been so long Why hast thou not come into me Whose affections are so strong O come poor soul and do not now Excuses to me make But when that love is offered Pray come and eat and take What saist thou to Original Pray take and eat the Book And thou wilt find much sweetnesse there And love therein to look The spirit doth make very much Of every word and thing And gives encouragement to that Which exalts Christ as King Therefore do thou do so dear soul Go against the beast still For him that is so pure and bright For to fulfill his will O what a spirit soul is this That fain would conquer thee It is a loving spirit souls And it will make you free O 〈◊〉 Doctrine it is plaint Its application new O treasure up the Doctrine And application too It is a lovely Doctrine But do not take it ill That applicat on also comes But O embrace it still O love application so choyce Though it should break thy bone It is to let out corruption Do not against it groane O blessed and most glorious God This day is very sweet What say you unto it dear friends Do not you it so meet O scorners understand it not You do not search and know And how then can you feel and find The glorious shining glow You say 't is a poor silly one That her own words doth say And do not observe it throughout To finde what in it lies But presently away do start So do Professors too But have

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
