1.

PRepair, make ready, oh ye Saints

Jehovah is come down,

To you and on your Heads to set

Salvation as a Crown.

2.

Into your mouths a Song he has put.

A Song of praise, to him, to give,

A Song of joy great store.

3.

Look, see and behold, how like himself

Hee's come to visit you,

He came down, the lofty heavens

He made to stoop and to bow.

4.

With zeal all clad, as with a Cloake,

With vengeance Garments dyed,

A Helmet of Salvation

He wore upon his head.

5.

Of Righteousness Jehovah-like

A Brest-plate he put on,

And thus in fury great he falls

Your enemies upon.

6.

And home then repays them all the wrong

Which they unjustly had,

[Page] Unto you done, and threatned more

to do as they were mad.

7.

Those Northern mountains which themselves

Had lifted up so high,

With opened mouths against the Heavens

their strength to magnifie.

8.

With heat of indignation

He melted at your feete,

And to your Armies gave the strength

Their Forts and Glory great.

9.

They fled they ran, they made great hast

From the presence of your God,

When he is angrie with his foes

There is no safe abode.

10.

One chast man a thousand can pursue

Ten thousand put to fight,

For God was in the midst of you

And taught your hands to flight.

11.

And in their heads unrighteousness

And cruel Councels were,

which caused their hearts to sink like stones

Their hands hung down for fear.

12.

They fled they ran, they wondered here

And there seeking to hide,

Their guilty heads in holes of death

Lest they should be discry'd.

13.

For great were the numbers they had

Enough by sword to dye,

[Page] Enough to run, enough to come,

Into Captivity.

14.

Great were the multitudes they had

Thousands by sword to dye,

Thousands to run, thousands to come,

Into Captivity.

15.

They fled, they ran, but lost the spoyl

To be divided by,

Them of the houshold they despise

And drawn to slavery.

16.

They fled, they ran, right sore afraid

To come into deaths bonds,

Your Legs redeem'd your feebled knees

of their dismai'dd hands.

17.

They fled, they ran beyond the line

Of their latter confidence,

The Forrest of the Land and Sea

They left to your Conscience.

18.

They fled, they ran, but they soon wheel

and chains they left behind,

With their deforrm'd devotion

Your Liberties to bind.

19.

Oh you redeemed of the Lord

To whom the silver wings,

And golden feathers of the Dove

Are now given to your mind.

20.

Who are delivered from making pitts

And diudging in the Clay,

[Page] For whose blest sakes Kings scattered are

And turned out of the way.

21.

Of their swolne thoughts and proud desires

Are sent to the Wilderness,

To seek a way where no way is

To free you from distress.

22.

You whose Task-masters fierce & cruel

Your glorious Lord hath troubled,

And in performance of your power

Their shame and sorrow doubled.

23.

For that with inlarged hearts

and heightrod streams of spirit,

You love and fear him all your days

And cause him to inherit.

24.

The praises of the earth in words

Where ere you come and go,

No rest accept of yours gave spirits

Until the world shall know.

25.

By your good words & works relate

The goodness of the Lord,

Make the world unto your feast

You blessedness afford.

26.

Give plenty of it unto those

Who feed in misery,

And know not how to serve the Lord

In their free liberty.

[Page]

27.

Thus let thy enemies O Lord

Thus let thy enemies perish,

But if that love thy glorious

For ever let them perish.

FINIS.

Mr. Powels Hymne.

1.

TO Christ the only King of Saints be praise eternally,

Which gave his Souldiers great honour

And Kingly Victory.

2.

Whom Satan would wisely subdue

To those which are his enemies,

Lest therefore offer unto him

A willing secrasie.

[Page]

3.

For he in love laid down his life

and for us shed his blood,

To reconcile us to God

Who is our best belov'd.

4.

And doth adopt us to himself

His children for to be,

And hath given us his free grace

And excellent Glory.

5.

The Lord also, his Saints exalt

That they on high do raigne,

And makes our Enemies to know

That Christ is our Soveraigne.

6.

The Pope, the Priest, the Anti-Christ

The Kings do quake for fear,

For Christ into his Throne doth come

His glory doth appear.

7.

Awake, arise, ô King ô Lord

Let all thy proud foes fall,

Then we which are thy Church on earth

will honour thy great name.

8.

Come quickly, come Lord Jesus Christ

Thy Saints do waite and stay,

To see thy Kingdome here on earth

And to to behold thine eyes,

9.

The glory and the Victories

which thou of late didest give,

doth move us for to praise thy name

and for thee to be belov'd.

[Page]

10.

That we being thy thy people all

And Saints, with one accord,

Shall with all hope and courrage free

Sing praise to thee ó Lord.

FINIS.

Mr. Appletrees Hymn.

1.

LEt God arise, now up he is

As all the world may see,

To take his peopls part, wherefore,

March to revenge all we.

2.

That worke which did occasion us

This day to set apart,

So great it is, it to discribe

No man hath got the Art.

[Page]

3.

Our Enemies which in battel fell

Long since us threaten did,

Us to anoy which did procure

Our Armys march with speed.

4.

From London, and from other parts

where they well quartered were,

To seeke and for to find out those

That sought to worke our snare.

5.

Before they went, to God they call'd

Whose cause they were to plead,

To the Church they also sent

That they would intercead.

6.

That so together, they might prevail

With God so them to direct,

To guid them in his ways

Their persons to protect.

7.

When they had passed by Barwick

And towards Haddington did come,

Thy Saints did sing, in gladness they

Would fight with all and some.

8.

Our Armies, they prudentially

Did seeke that place to gaine,

Where siting down, they waited long

To fight, but all in vain.

9.

Much hardship they did undergo

Their Enemies for to find,

But those men that make great hoast

To Engage had no mind.

[Page]

10.

To Musleborough the enemy came

Our Armies for to outbrave,

Upon our works immediatly

Sought something to atchive.

11

Fifteen select Troops of the Church

All Covenanters sore,

Came trooping forth, and some did swear

That Cromwells Honour to prove.

12.

Dead or alive their prisoner

Some cry'd they would him bring,

And offer him a sacrifice

Unto their new-made King.

13.

But God our Lord who heard their brags

Them disappointed there,

Our Army there did many kill

The rest all ran for feare.

14.

Their Horse, their Speare the Lord did break

Great mischief to prevent,

Their further hurt did make to cease

Their deeds for to repent.

15.

Our Noble General also sought

With love them to overcome,

Professing that nothing they did

Should his intentions turn.

16.

But nothing could with them prevail

To stay them from the same,

Though fight they durst not at all

Until they had their aym.

[Page]

17.

And brought us to such straights that we

No way escape could make,

But must yield to their tearms and glad

What they would give to take.

18.

Then God appear'd himself and did

Our Souldiers courage raise,

And gave them Victory so great

For which wee'l give him praise.

19.

As in the days of Sisera

The Starrs for us did fight,

The Moon to them was darkened

But gave to us her light.

20.

Foure thousand kill'd was on the place

Ten thousand prisoners were,

Their bag and baggage they forsook

And did their Ordnance spare

21.

Their Cullers they did leave behind

In number great to see,

Edenborough & Leith they also quit

And did to Sterling flee.

22.

In which they trust to this day

Their King and Covenant,

Not fully able them to free

As all the World may grant.

23.

But we will trust and praise our God

That this great work hath wrought,

That in our strength delivered us

When we by prayer did seek.

FINIS.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
