a Citie where large Kingdomes are The gracefull streets Rome Babylon Grand Caire But simple Cottages compar'd with ours Their Pallaces their high-Heaven-threatning Towers But sties for swine though we fond mortals cry 'Em up not knowing true Felicity Heavenly Jerusalem with jems is built The Wals the Battlements the Turrets guilt The streets are pav'd with Saphire Ophir stones Berill rich Carbuncles and Uniones In such a Citie when the blest soules must Be reunited to their wonted dust Compleated by that Union the Saints shall Have lordly domination over all The World and seated in Majestick chaires Judge Nations heires of God with Christ coheires Be conversant with him humbly adore And kisse those wounds by which he trumph'd ore The grave and Hell acknowledge his sole blood The onely price of their Beatitude Therefore with the Elders every Saint casts downe Prostrate at Jesus feet his royall Crowne Not onely in the mirrour of Gods minde You shall the Apostles Paul John Peter finde But all the Patriarcks Martyrs Doctors see Converse and with 'em most familiar be Heare every passage of their lives and deathes How the stout Martyrs purchased their wreathes Heare Paul relate through what Seas he did wade What dangers scap't where what Orations made And before whom what good his Sermons wrought And who by them into the Church were brought And as he speakes so act at every straine That you would think you heard him preach againe Your understanding shall be lightened so That you the severall Hierarchies shall know See perfectly what now wee but in trust Take up if every Individuum must Bee ' a severall Species by it selfe and God Must needs of the same Forme create an od Suppose if two of the same forme hee le make He must our Mother the first Hyle take But these are Nicities Your principall Happinesse is God whose Vision includes all May satisfie What 's done in Heaven the Son By his Father got active Spiration How these embracing mutually conspire From both their heats to give eternall fire Its Origen which sent by them shall move In such a circle that with ardent love The World shall burne acknowledging a Law That shall both Jewes and Gentiles keep in awe A Law not of sterne threats and fetters made To compell man but gently shall perswade Attracte with tyes of love no more command Then what may easily with prastice stand Let 's well observe what things are requisite To draw from Scientifique arts delight So shall we know what they and how much pleasure Enjoy who purchast have this hidden treasure A power a faculty apt to conceive And from proportion'd objects formes receive And knowledge and delight compleater be According to the objects dignitie This power cognoscitive must be combinde With th' object and the closer it is joynde The more it knowes receives the more content And both increase when th' object 's excellent Can any object be like God of good The fountaine in himselfe Beatitude Of bounty mercy justice a vast Ocean Whose every vertue every single notion Speaks an abysse of worth where sily sheepe May wade Elephants may swim not reach the deep With this sea of perfections sea of good The soul 's so joyn'd t is swallowed in the flood Immerg'd so deeply in that vast abysse That with it one and the same spirit tis Knowes all his immanent acts sees all respects Which his All-potent hand has to eff●cts Is entred to all Gods joyes and injoyes Made one with God all treasures pleasures joyes Gods all in all things and whom he unites So neerly to him with him all delights Pertakes nor need the blessed journeys take To seek Beatitude God alone will make Them happy having in himselfe all store Of bounty mercy justice wisedome power And such an object how must it distill Torrents of pleasures on the ravish'd will How shall our memorie th●●●… M●g●zin Of all Idaeas showing what has been Is extant shall exist before us lay All acts from the Worlds cradle to this day Present all passages through our life run The manie favours God for us hath done The many dangers we have scapt the fights We had against the world the flesh the slights Of Satan how God aided with his grace And brought us Conquerours to this happy place Where our browes circled with triumphant bayes Eternally we shall his mercies praise Then we surveigh the worlds Chronologie And entring in Gods Cabinet councell see Why he so oft hath suffered just men here To be opprest the wicked domineere Plainely perceive these miserable times To issue from the deluge of our crimes Our bloody sins have made so loud a cry Nothing can cure us but Phlebotomie We did abhor the very name of Peace The clamour of the Drum shall never cease We chase Religion out the Land not any One can content us now we have too many Did too much plenty cause a surquedrie Famine shall cure it and much penurie The stock of cattle spent a barren yeare Shall Victuals make and Corne excessive deare Excises shall set up on every score Adde to the famine and undoe the poore Necessity caus'd taxes the same Law Must keep 'em up to keep the rout in awe Why did th' ambitious Horse endure the bit To chase the hart then would be free from it But cann't who thrust themselves into a yoake Deserve to beare untill their backs be broake The Saints shall see why God permits all this And not a jot be troubled in their blisse For those blest Citizens of Sion be As well from trouble as from sicknesse free Nor can their Kin or dearest friends annoy Though knowne diminish their eternall joy For mercies towards themselves to God they owe And praise his justice in Delinquents woe To the right Honourable Edward Earle of Dorset Richard Lord Buckhurst his Son and my truly honored Friend Doctor Samuel Turner Sermo Nonus The Argument Man labouring like the Spider when al 's done T is but a simple Cobweb he hath spun The Epirot will with his Armies rome Abroad to gaine what he injoyes at home Well may we learne of the industrious Ant To gather treasures 'gainst the time of want Such is that dreadfull day when all soules shall In publike audience give account of all Their life The good mounting in heaven shall dwell The bad descend downe to th' Abysse of Hell HOw does the Spider toile and when al 's done T is but a silly cobweb shee hath spun Worth nothing of no durance every blast Can break it with a dish of water cast It falls or Joane when shee makes cleane the roome Sweeps downe the Cobweb and with her long broome The Spider kils from heavens embroydered hall The Angels see who with one act view all That done on earth so doe the Devils too And crave such acts as to their nature due Fond men with the laborious Spider toile By day and night are troubled
