PSALMS, HYMNS, AND SPIRITUAL SONGS.

PART I.

Psal. 8.1.
HOw excellent in all the Earth,
Lord, our Lord, is thy Name:
Who hast thy glory set above
the heavens starry frame.
Isa. 6, [...]. v.
O holy, holy, holy, Lord
of hosts, the Earth throughout
Is of thy Glory full; thus all
the Seraphims do shout.
v. 2.
Each one hath six wings, and with two
of these they swiftly fly,
With two their face, with two their feet
they cover reverently.
If these pure Spirits hide themselves,
O Lord, how then should I
Who dust am, and defil'd with sin,
abhore my self, and cry,
v. 5.
Wo's me, I am undone, for I'm
a man of lips unclean.
Thus said Isaiah when he,
Lord, had thy glory seen.
Purge out my sin, and touch my lips
with a live-coal of fire;
Since it doth from the Altar come,
sinners may it desire.
In his Name who the Altar is,
the Sacrifice and Priest,
Who for transgressours interceeds,
Lord, I make this request.
That thou would send thy promis'd Sp'rit
my spirit to inspire;
Luk. 3.16. Rom. 5.5.
Wash me from filth, burn out my dross,
baptize me, Lord, with fire.
And by the holy Ghost thy Love
abroad diffuse and shed
In my cold heart, that with thy Love
I may be ravished.
O lead me to the Fountain pure
Psal. 36.9.
of Life the living spring
Of thy strong Love cause me to drink
abundantly, and sing.
Ioh. 4.14. Ioh. 7.38. Deut. 32. v. 2.3.
That water give, which in the Soul
a well of water grows,
Springing up to eternal Life,
and out in Rivers flows.
Thy Doctrine drop as rain, thy Word
distil like dew, and as
The small rain on the tender Herb,
as showres upon the grass.
For I desire IEHOVAH'S Name
to publish far abroad.
O People all do ye ascribe
Greatness unto our God.
He is the rock, His work's perfect,
all his ways judgment be;
A God of truth, He's Iust and Right,
without iniquity.
Gen 14.22.
I have lift up my hand unto
the Lord, the God most hy,
Possessor of the Heav'n and Earth
by Soveraign Property.
Gen. 15.1.
After these things the Lord his word
in vision to Abram.
Came, saying▪ Do not fear, Abram,
for I IEHOVAH am
Thy sheild from all thy enemies
thee to protect and guard;
Fear not for want, I am thy great,
exceeding great reward.
[...] 1.
The Lord said unto Abram, I
am God the Almighty,
The Allsufficient, before
Me walk, and perfect be.
[...]m. 18 [...]5.
That the just as the wicked be,
let that be far from Thee:
Shall not the judge of all the Earth
do judgment righteously?
[...]m. 21 13.
In Beersheba Abraham
sojourning planted wood,
And thereupon the Lord's Name call'd,
the Everlasting GOD.

Or thus,

In Beersheba Abraham
sojourning planted tree,
And there call'd on IEHOVAH'S Name,
God of Eternity.
[...]xod. [...].13.
And Moses said to God, behold,
when I to Israel
His children come, and unto them
shal this relate and tell:
He who's your Fathers God hath sent
me unto you, and they,
Shall say to me, What is His Name,
What shall I to them say?
And God to Moses said, I AM
THAT I AM: and said, thou
Shalt say this to the Israelites,
I AM sent me to you.
And God moreover said unto
Moses, this say shalt thou
To Israel his children, that
The Lord sent me to you.
Even IEHOVAH your Fathers God,
the God of Abraham,
The God of Isaac, and the God
of Iacob, still the same.
For ever is my Name, and this
is and for ever shal
Vnto all Generations
be my Memorial.
Exod. 15.2.
The Lord's my strength, and song, and he
become is my salvation:
He is my God, and I'le prepare
for him an habitation.
He is my fathers God, and I'le
exalt on high his Fame;
Iehovah is a man of war,
Iehovah is his Name.
vers. 11
Who's like Thee, Lord among the gods
who's like Thee, glorious
In holiness, fearful in praise,
doing things wonderous.
Exod. 20.2.
I am IEHOVAH, thy God, which
have made thee out to go
From Egypt land, and from the house
of servants. Thou shalt no
Other gods have before my face.
Thou shalt not make to thee
A graven image, or any
likeness of things that be
Into the heav'n above, or that
is in the earth below,
Or in the water under earth,
thy self thou shalt not bow
Down to them, nor serve them, for I
the Lord thy God most hy,
A jealous God am, visiting
Fathers iniquity
Vpon the children to the third
and to the fourth degree,
To threes and fours of these who do
hatred bear unto me:
And magnifying in effect
mercy and bountie free
To thousands who Me love and keep
My precepts carefully.
Exod. 33.18.
And Moses said, I Thee beseech
Thy glory to me shew,
And he said, I'le my goodness all
make pass by in thy view.
And I IEHOVAH his Name will
proclaim before thy face,
And will be gracious to whom
I will extend my grace.
And will shew mercy on whom I
will mercy show. And he
Said, Thou canst not my face see, for
none shall live and me see.
Exod. 34.6.
The Lord, the Lord God merciful,
and very Gracious,
Long suffering, and in His truth
and goodness plenteous.
For thousands he doth mercy keep,
forgives iniquity,
Transgression and sin, but clear
the guilty will not he.
Vpon the children visiting
fathers iniquitie,
And upon childrens children, to
the third and fourth degree.
Deut. 4.39.
Know this day, and bring to thy heart,
the Lord he's God alone
In Heaven above, on earth beneath,
beside him there is none.
Deut. 6.4.
Hear, Israel, the Lord our God
is one Lord, thou shalt love
The Lord thy God with all thy heart,
soul, might, all things above.
Deut. 10.17.
The Lord our God is God of gods,
and Lord of lords, most hie;
A great and mighty God He is,
and Terrible is He.
There's no iniquity with Him;
2 Chr. 19.7.
He doeth not regard
Persons, nor taketh He at all
a gift, nor a reward.
The judgment of the fatherless
and widow executes,
And stranger loves, and food to him,
and raiment distributes.
Deut. 28.58.
If thou wilt not observe to do
all the words of this Law
That written are in this book, that
thou mayest stand in aw;
And mayest fear this Name which is
Glorious and Fearful,
The LORD thy GOD, the Lord will then
make thy plagues wonderful.
Deut. 33.26,
There's none like to Iesuruns God
who rides in the heav'n hie
In thy help, and upon the Skie
in his excellencie.
Th'Eternal God is thy refuge
to which thou may resort,
And the arms everlasting are
underneath to support.
1 Sam. 2.1,
My heart rejoiceth in the Lord,
mine horn's exalted hie
In IEHOVAH my mouth's enlarg
over mine enemie,
Because in thy salvation
I do rejoice there's none
Holy as is IEHOVAH, for
besides Thee there's not one.
Nor like our God is any rock,
let not your talk exceed
In pride, and let not arrogance
out of your mouth proceed:
Because IEHOVAH is a God
of knowledge infinite,
And by him actions weighed are,
strong mens bows broke are quite.
And they that stumbled, being weak,
with strength are gift about,
They who were full, now for their bread
themselves have hired out;
And they did cease that hungry were,
so that the barren bare
Sev'n, and she waxed weak who had
of children greater store.
The Lord do [...]h kill, and makes alive;
brings down to the graves ditch,
And bringeth up again. The LORD
makes poor, and maketh rich:
He bringeth low, and lifteth up;
He raiseth when he will
The poor out of the dust, and He
lifts up from the dunghill
The begger, to set them among
the Princes, and to make
Them as their own inheritance
the throne of glory take:
Because the pillars of the earth
unto the Lord alone
Belong, and He established
the world hath them upon,
His [...]aints feet He will keep, and all
the wicked silent shall
In darkness be: for man by strength
shall not prevail at all.
The adversaries of the Lord
shall broken be asunder
All into pieces; out of heav'n
He shall upon them thunder.
The Lord shall judge th'ends of th'earth,
and to his King appointed
He shall give strength, and shall exalt
the horn of his anointed.
Sam. 1.22.
His people for His great Names sake
the Lord will not forsake.
Because it pleased hath the Lord
His People you to make.
Sam. [...].29.
Also the Strength of Israel
will not lie, nor repent:
For He is not a man that He
should alter his intent.
1 Sam. 16.7.
The Lord sees not as man does see;
for man lookes on the eyes
The outward shew, the Lord he looks
on th' heart,
Psal. 7.9, 1 Sam. 17.45.
the reins He tries.
David said to the Philistine,
Thou comes to me with Sword,
With spear, with Sheild; but I to thee
in the Name of the Lord,
The Lord of Hosts come, He who is
the God of the armies
Of Israel, whom with disdain
thou haughtily defies,
The Lord he will deliver thee
into my hands this day,
And I will smite thee, and will take
thine head from thee away;
And of the Philistean host
the carcases this day
To Fowls of th'air, to earths wild beasts
I will give for a prey.
That all the earth, the people all
who in the earth do dwel,
May certainly know, that there is
a God in Israel.
And all this great Assembly shall
know clearly, that the Lord
Saveth not, nor delivereth
with spear, nor yet with sword:
Because the Battel is the Lords,
who over all commands,
And he will you deliver up,
and give into our hands.
2 Sam. 7.18.
Then went King David in, and sat
before the Lord, and he
Said, Who am I, O LORD GOD? and
what is my house, that me
Thou hast brought hitherto? And yet
this was a thing but smal
Into thy sight, O Lord God, but
Thou spoken hast withall
Of the house of Thy servant for
a great while to come on;
And is this, O Lord God, of man
the law and fashion?
And what can David unto Thee
say more? for thou dost know
O Lord, thy servant perfectly;
for thy words sake hast Thou,
And after Thine own heart prepar'd
all this great dignity,
That to thy servant Thou might make
this greatness knowen be.
ver. 26.
Wherefore, O Lord God, thou art great;
for like Thee there is none,
Nor is there any God beside
Thee, Thou art God alone.
[...] Sam. [...].2.
And let Thy Name be magnifi'd
for ever, let them tell,
Saying, the Lord of hosts He is
God over Israel.
He said, the Lord He is my Rock,
and He is my Fortress,
And He is my Deliverer,
to free me from distress.
The God of my rock, I will trust
Him, staying Him upon:
He is my shield, and He's the horn
of my Salvation.
[...] Chro. [...].10.
My high tower, and my refuge
to which I for defence
Do flee, my Saviour, Thou me
savest from violence.
And David said, Blessed be Thou
IEHOVAH, the most Hy,
God of our Father Israel,
for all eternity.
Lord, Thine the greatness is, and pow'r,
the glory, victory:
Eternitie, and unto Thee
belongs the Majestie▪
For all in heav'n and earth is Thine,
the kingdom's Thine with all,
O Lord, and Thou art as the head
exalted above all.
Riches and honour come of Thee
Thou reigns ov'r all in state;
In Thine hand's power, and might, and
thine hand it's to make great,
And to give strength to all. Therefore▪
now, our God, we to Thee,
Give thanks, and Thy most glorious Na [...]
praising we glorifie.
But who am I, what's my people,
that we should able be,
After this sort so willingly
to offer unto Thee?
For all's of Thee, and of Thy own
we given have to Thee.
For we before Thee strangers are,
and sojourners are we
As all our fathers were: Our days,
on earth as shadows glide,
And there's no expectation
that here we shall abide.
O Lord our God, all this store which
We have prepar'd, that we
ver. 17.
For thy most holy Name a house
to thee might edifie,
Cometh of Thine hand, and is all
Thine owen properly.
I know also, my God, that Thou
the heart dost search and try:
And as for me in th'uprightness
of my heart willingly
ver. 18.
I offer'd all these things; and now
with gladness I did see
Thy people present here, to Thee
to offer willingly,
Lord God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Israel, who be
Our fathers, this for ever keep
in the imaginations
Of the reiterated thoughts
and lasting cogitations
[...] Chro. [...].14.
Of the heart of Thy people, and
Thy peoples hearts to thee
Prepare, and their prepared heart [...]
establish stedfastlie.
O Lord the God of Israel,
there is no God like thee,
Into the heav'n, nor in the earth,
who keepest constantlie
ver. 18.
The covenant and bountie free,
and mercy keeps in store
Vnto thy servants, who with all
their hearts walk Thee before.
But O! will God in very deed
on earth dwel and remain
With men? Behold, heav'n, and the heav'n
of heav'ns cannot contain
Thee, who Incomprehensible
art, and from Limits free;
How much less can this house, which I
have builded unto Thee.
Nehem. 1.4.
Hearing these words, I sat down, wept,
and mourned day by day,
And fasted, and before the God
of Heaven I did pray:
[...]ers. 5.
And said, I Thee beseech, O Lord
God of the heaven hie,
The great God, and the terrible,
who keeps most faithfully
The covenant, and as in store
Mercy does still reserve
For them who love Him, and who His
commandements observe.
[...]ehem. 15.
Stand up and bless the Lord your God
for all eternity;
And blessed be Thy glorious Name,
which is exalted hie
Above all blessing and all praise.
vers. 6.
Thou, Thou art Lord alone,
Thou hast made heav'n, the heav'n of heav' [...]
with all their host each one;
The earth and all that's there, the sea
and all that therein be,
And thou preserves all, and the host
of heav'n adoreth thee.
Neh. 13 22.31.
Concerning this also, my GOD,
remember me for good,
And spare me after Thy mercies
greatness and multitude.
Iob. 5.8.9,
I would seek God, and lay on God
my cause and business
Who does things great unsearchable,
marvelous, numberless;
10.
Who rain on earth gives, waters sends
on fields: to set on hie
11.
The low; that unto safety they
who mourn may lifted be.
12.
He these devices disappoints
which crafty men devise,
So that their hands cannot at all
perform their enterprise.
In their own craftiness the wise
He doeth take; and that
Counsel which froward men take, is
headlong precipitat.
They meet with darkness in the day,
at noon grop as at night:
But saves the poor from sword and mouth,
and hand of men of might.
So that unto the poor who are
exhausted there is hope,
And then her foul blasphemous mouth
iniquity doth stop.
Behold, blest is the man whom God
correcteth with his rod:
Despise not then the chastening
of the Almighty God:
Because He maketh sore, and He
binds up; He makes the wound,
And then His healing hands do make
the wounded whole and sound.
Iob. 9.2.
But how should man be just with God?
If He with him contend,
One of a thousand he cannot
Him answer, or defend,
He's wise in heart, mighty in strength:
Who hath himself hardned
Against this Wise and Mighty God,
and yet hath prospered?
Who doth remove the mountains hy
and yet they do not know:
Who them into His anger doth
ov'rturn and overthrow.
Who shakes earth from her place, and then
its pillars trembling fall.
Commands the Sun, and it doth not
rise; and stars up doth seal.
Who spreadeth out the heav'ns alone,
on the Seas waves doth tread.
Who Arcturus, Orion, and
the Pleiades hath made,
And makes the chambers of the south.
And great things worketh He
Past finding out, yea wondrous things,
which without number be.
Behold, He doeth by me go,
and I Him do not see:
He also passeth on, but He
is not perceiv'd by me.
Behold if He shal take away,
Who can turn Him away?
And who is he who unto Him,
What doest Thou, will say?
Iob 12.13.
With God strength, wisdom, counsel and
understanding remain.
Behold, He breaketh down, and it
cannot be built again:
He shutteth up a man, and then
there can no opening be.
Behold, the waters He withholds,
and they are turned dry:
And sends them out, and they ov'rturn
the earth; Strength with Him is
And Wisdom: the deceived and
the deceiver are His.
He leadeth counsellers away
spoiled, and He doth make
The Iudges fools. The bond of Kings
unties, and loose doth shake,
And with a girdle girds their loins,
He Princes as a prey
Leadeth, He overthrows the strong.
He doth remove away
The speech of those who trusty are,
that they have nought to say,
And He the understanding of
the aged takes away.
On Princes pours contempt, weakneth
the strength of men of might.
Clears deep things out of darkness, brings
the shade of death to light.
He doth increase the nations,
and them destroys again:
The nations He extends, and doth
them straiten and restrain.
The heart of the chief people of
the earth, He takes away,
And makes them in a wilderness
wander where there's no way.
They in the dark grope without light,
He causeth them to dot,
Stagger and wander like a man
whom drink doth quite besot.
Iob 11.7.
Canst thou by searching find out God?
Canst thou th'Almighty to
Perfection find? It is as high
as heav'n, what canst thou do?
Deeper than hell, what canst thou know?
Its boundless measures be
Infinitely longer than Earth,
and broader than the Sea.
Who knoweth not in all these, that
Iob 12.9.
the Lords hand wrought hath this?
In whose hand each living things soul,
and all mankinds breath is.
Iob 15.14.
What is man, that he should be clean
and pure? and what is he
That born is of a woman, that
he righteous should be?
Behold, He puts not trust into
His Saints, Angels of light;
Yea, even the very heav'ns are not
pure and clean in his sight.
How much more then abominable
and filthy, may we think,
Is man, who doth iniquitie
like unto water drink.
Iob 25.2.
Fear and Dominion are with Him,
in His high places He
Makes peace. Of His vast armies troops
can any number be?
And upon whom doth not arise
His clear and shining light?
How then can man be justify'd
with God before His sight?
How can he that's of woman born
be clean and without blot?
Behold, even to the Moon, and it
shines not, yea, stars are not
Pure in His sight, How much less man
that is a worm: and be
That is the son of man, who is
a worm, clean can he be?
Iob 26.6.
He [...]l's naked, and destruction hath
in's sight no covering.
He stretcht the north ov'r th'emptie place,
and hangs earth on not [...]ing▪
He bindeth up the waters, which
seeks every way a vent
In His thick cloud, and yet the cloud
under them is not rent.
He holds back and contains the face
and aspect of his throne,
And His cloud as a sable vail
extendeth it upon.
With limits He the waters did
compass and comprehend.
Vntill the light of day with nights
darkness come to an end.
Heav'ns pillars tremble, and at His
reproof astonish'd be.
And with His power He divides
the waters of the sea,
And by His understanding He
the proud strikes, wounds and breaks▪
And by His sp'rit the heav'ns adorns,
garnisheth, comely makes;
His hand the crooked Serpent form'd,
Behold, these are not all
His ways, but only parts thereof,
But O! How very smal
A portion of Him is heard
as to the thing in hand?
But O! the thunder of His pow'r
who can it understand?
Iob. 28.23.
God Knows the way of Wisdom, and
He knows its place; for He
Looks to earths ends, and all below
the whole heav'n He doth see.
To make the weight ev'n for the winds,
and by a measure He
Weigheth the waters, when He for
the rain made a decree;
And for the thunders lightning made
a way, then He did see
I [...], and it number'd, it prepar'd,
yea, it search out did He.
And unto man He said, Behold,
the Lords fear in the heart
That's wisdom, and understanding
from evil to depart.
Iob. 33.12.
I'l answer thee, that God doth man
in greatness far surmount.
Why strives thou 'gainst Him? for of His
things He gives no account.
Iob 36.26.
Behold, God He is great, and Him
we know not perfectly,
Nor can the number of His years
searched out ever be.
Ps. 5.4.
For Thou art not a God that doth
in wickedness delight &c.
Psal. 146.5.
Happy is he who hath the GOD
of Iacob for his aid;
Whose hope is in the Lord his God;
who heav'n, earth, sea hath made,
And all that is in them, who keeps
truth to eternity:
Who executeth judgment for
these who oppressed be,
Who to the hungry giveth food;
the Lord looseth and frees
These who are bound; and openeth
the blind mens closed eyes:
The Lord lifts up the bowed down,
the Lord loves tenderly
The righteous, the Lord doth keep
the stranger watchfully;
The widows and the fatherless
He doth support and stay:
But He turns up-side down, and quite
subverts the wickeds way.
The Lord doth reign for evermore,
thy God, O Zion, He
Reigns to all generations.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
Prov. 2.6.
Because the Lord doth wisdom give:
Out of His mouth doth come
Knowledge and understanding He
layeth up sound wisdom
For righteous ones; a buckler to
them that walk uprightly:
He judgments paths keeps, and preserves
His Saints way constantly.
Prov. 3.19.
The Lord by wisdom founded earth;
by understanding He
Prepared and established
the heavens stedfastlie,
By His knowledge are broken up
the depths, which are profound;
And the more thin and subtile clouds
distill dew on the ground.
Prov. 10.3.
The Lord will not suffer the soul
of him that's righteous
To famish: but casts out the wealth
of the perfidious.
[...]ob 34.21.
God's eyes are on the ways of man,
his goings all sees He.
Prov. 15.3. ver. 11.
The Lord's eyes are in every place
the ill and good to see.
Hell and destruction are before
the Lord: How much more then
Before Him are the hearts and thoughts
of the children of men?
Prov. [...]6.4.
The Lord made all things for Himself,
His glory to display:
Yea, ev'n the wicked impious

The counsel of IEHOVAH, that
shall stand with stedfastness.
Prov. 21.1.
As rivulets of waters, so
in the Lord's hand the heart
Of each King is: To all that He
will, He shall it convert.
Ev'ry way of a man is right
and straight in his own eyes:
But IEHOVAH ponders the hearts,
Prov. 16.2. Prov, 21.80.
And He the Spirits weighs.
No wisdom, nor understanding,
nor counsel can there be
Against IEHOVAH. The horse is
prepared carefullie
Ps. 33.17.
Against the day of battel, yet
to none he shall afford
Deliverance by his great strength:

Prov. 23.10.
Enter thou not into the fields
of those who orphans be,
For their Redeemer strong is; He
shall plead their cause with thee.
Prov. 30, 2.
Surely I am more brutish than
any man, and have not
The understanding of a man,
nor wisdom have I got
By learning, nor the knowledge of
the holy do I know.
Who hath ascended up to heav'n?
who hath descended low?
Who hath together gathered
into his fists the wind?
Who the unstable water did
within a garment bind?
Who hath all the ends of the earth
established so well?
What is his Name, and what is His
Sons name, if thou canst tell?
Each word of God is pure, He is
a shield to every one
Of them who do with confidence
trust and rest Him upon.
Add thou not to his perfect words,
lest He do thee confound,
By his reproof, and so thou be
a hateful liar found.
Eccl. 5.1.
Thy foot keep when thou goes unto
God's house, and to receive
In hearing be more ready than
fools sacrifice to give:
For that in this they evil do,
they think not seriously;
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let
not thy heart hasty be
To utter ought before God, for
God is in heaven hie,
And thou on earth: Therefore let thy
words few and sparing be.
Eccles. 12.1.
Thy Maker mind in thy youths days
ere ill days come on thee
And years draw near, when thou'lt say, no
pleasure's in them to me.
ver. 13.
The end of all the matter hear,
Fear God, and carefully
Keep His commandements: for this

For God the judge shall every work,

Whether it good or evil be,

Isa. 1.24.
Therefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
Israels strong one spake.
Ah, I'l m'ease of mine adversar's,

Isa. 5.16.
But in judgment the Lord of hosts

I'le trust, not fear; for He who is
IAH IEHOVAH alone
My strength and Song is, also He
is my Salvation.
Therefore ye shall water of life
and consolation
With joy draw from these many wells
which spring salvation.
And in that day ye shall say, praise
IEHOVAH, call upon
His name, among the people shew
His doings solemnlie,
Make mention that His glorious Name
exalted is on hie.
Sing to IEHOVAH; for He hath
excellent stately things
Effectuated: this in all
the earth is known and rings,
Inhabitant of Zion, cry
aloud, sing shouting hie:
For great is Israels holy one
into the midst of thee.
Isa. 14.27.
The Lord of Hosts hath purposed,
and who null shall it make?
And His hand now is stretched out,
and who shall turn it back?
Isa. 17.7.
Then shall a man look unto his
Maker attentively,
His eyes to Israels holy One
shall look respectfully.
ver. 10.
Because thou hast forgot the God
of thy salvation
And hast not the rock of thy strength
minded and thought upon.
Isa. 25, 1.
O IEHOVAH, Thou art my God
I'le thee exalt on hie,
I'le praise thy Name; for Thou hast do [...]
things wonderful that be:
Thy Counsels faithfulness and truth
have been long since of old.
For Thou a City made an heap
that's in confusion rol'd:
A ruine of a fenced Town;
a palace of forraign
Strangers, of a City which shall
never be built again.
Therefore the mighty people shall,
O Lord, Thee glorifie;
The Citie of the terrible
nations shall fear Thee.
For Thou hast been unto the poor
a strength and a fortress;
A strength unto the needy one
in his pinching distress:
A refuge from the stormy flood,
a shadow from the heat,
When dreadful ones blasts as a flood
which 'gainst a wall doth beat,
Isa. 26.3.
Thou wilt him keep in perfect peace,
who's mind is stay'd on Thee:
Because he trusts in Thee, trust in
the Lord perpetuallie,
Because in IAH IEHOVAH is
strength everlasting, He
Is rock of ages, without change,
the same eternally.
vers. 7.
The just's way is uprightnesses:
Thou who art most upright,
The righteous mans path as into
a ballance tries by weight.
Isa. 18.5.
Then shall the Lord of hosts be for
a glorious crown to them
Who are His peoples remnant, for
a beautious diadem.
And for a Sp'rit of Iudgment to
Him who in Iudgment seat
Sits, and for strength to him that turns
the Battel to the gate.
vers. 29
This also cometh from the Lord
of Hosts, his government,
Who's wonderful in counsel, and
in working excellent.
Isa. 29.22.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, who hath
redeemed Abraham,
Concerning Iacob's house, Iacob
shal not now suffer shame.
Neither shall his face now wax pale;
but when he doeth see
His children, who my hands works are,
in midst of him to be.
My Name they shall then sanctifie,
and hallow th'holy One
Of Iacob, and shall fear the God
of Israel alone.
Isa. 30.15.
Because the Lord God sayeth thus,
Israels holy One,
In returning and rest shall ye
attain Salvation.
In quietness and confidence,
also your strength shall be;
And ye would not, but ye said, no,
for we'l on horses flee &c.
vers. 18
And therefore will the Lord wait, that
gracious He may be
Vnto you, and therefore will He
exalted be, that He
May mercy have on you: The Lord
takes the best way and time;
For He's a God of judgment; blest
are all that wait for Him.
ver. 29.
The Lord is Israels mighty One,
He is a rock to them;
Isa. 31.9.
His fire's in Zion, His furnace
is in Ierusalem.
Isa. 33.21.
The glorious Lord will be to us
a place that's broad in space
Of rivers streams, where no galley
with oars shall go apace,
Nor gallant ship shal pass thereby;
because the Lord we have
Our Iudge, Our Lawgiver, the Lord's
Our King, He will us save.
Isa. 37.16.
O Lord, who art the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel,
Who on the mercy seat between
the cherubims do's dwell;
Thou art the God, ev'n Thou alone,
and there is none but Thee
Of all earths kingdoms, Thou hast made
the heav'n and earth to be.
Isa. 40.22.
Who in the hollow of his hand
hath measured about
The waters? and hath with the span
the heav'n metted out,
And comprehended earths dust in
a measure, and the high
Mountains in scales, and little hills
did in a balance weigh?
Who is he that directed hath
the Spirit of the Lord,
Or did, as being his counseller
teaching to him afford?
Or with whom did He counsel take?
and who hath him instructed,
And in the paths of judgment hath
by teaching Him conducted,
And taught Him knowledge, and to Him
shew'd understandings way?
Behold, the nations like unto
the buckets drop are they,
Of them as of the ballances
small dust account He makes:
Lo, as a very little thing,
the Islands up He takes.
Sufficient is not Lebanon
to burn the sacrifice,
Nor can the beasts thereof for one
burnt-offering suffice.
As nothing all the nations
before His presence be,
And counted are to Him less than
nothing, and vanity.
To whom then will ye liken God;
Or what likeness is there,
Or what similitude which ye
will unto Him compare?
vers. 21
Have ye not known? have ye not heard?
hath it not you been told
From the beginning? From the earths
foundations laid of old
Have ye not understood? Him who
sits on earths circled Sphere,
And earths inhabitants to Him
as grashopppers appear;
That as a curtain stretcheth out
the heav'ns in full extent,
And them He spreadeth out, like to
an habitable tent.
That Princes brings to nothing; makes
earths Iudges vanitie;
Yea, they shall not be planted, yea,
they sowen shall not be;
Yea their stock shal not root on earth,
He'l blow on them, and they
Shall wither, the whirl-wind shall them
as stubble take away.
To whom then will ye liken Me,
or shall I equal be
Sayeth the holy One? Lift up
your eyes on high, and see
Who hath created these things, that
in order brings out all
Their host by number, them each one
by names He doeth call,
By His might, greatness, for He's strong
in pow'r, not one doth fail.
Why sayest thou, O Iacob, and
speakest, O Israel,
My way is hidden from the Lord,
my Iudgement passed is
Ov'r from my God? hast thou not known
Hast thou not heared this,
That th'everlasting God, the Lord,
Creator of earths ends
Faints not, nor wearies? His knowledge
all searching far transcends.
He giveth power to the faint
and unto no might he
Increaseth strength, ev'n the youths shall
faint and shall weary be;
And young men, though they seemed strong,
yet utterly shall fall.
But they who wait upon the Lord,
their strength renew they shall:
They shall mount up on high with wings
as eagles, run they shall,
And not be weary, and they shall
walk, and not faint at all.
[...]sa. 41. [...].
Thou art my servant, I thee chose,
and not cast thee away.
Fear thou not, for I am with thee:
Let nothing thee dismay,
For I'm thy God: I'le strengthen thee,
I'le help thee in distress,
I'le thee uphold with the right hand
of my pure righteousness.
Behold, all they that were with rage
incensed against thee,
Shall be confounded and asham'd,
they shall as nothing be:
They that as men of strife do strive
against thee, perish shall;
Thou shalt them seek, but they shall not
be to be found at all;
Even they that did contend with thee;
they that against thee fought
And warred, shall as nothing be,
and as a thing of nought.
For I the Lord thy God will hold
thy right hand constantly,
Saying unto thee, Fear not, I
will be a help to thee
Worm Iacob, and ye Israelites,
fear not: I'le help thee soon,
The Lord, and thy Redeemer says,
Israels holy One.
Isa. 43.1.
Thus saith the Lord who did create
thee, Iacob, and who gave
A form to thee, O Israel,
fear not: Because I have
Redeem'd thee, call'd thee by thy name,
thou mine art properly:
When thou do's through the waters pass,
then I am still with thee;
And through the rivers passes, they
shall not thee overflow;
Nor shalt thou burned be; when as
thou through the fire do's go;
Neither shall the devouring flame
take kindling thee upon.
Because I am the Lord thy God,
Israels holy One,
Thy Saviour: I Egypt gave
thy ransom for to be,
And I did Ethiopia
and Sheba give for thee,
vers. 10
I'm He, before Me there was no
God formed, there shall none
Be after Me; I am the Lord,
the Saviour alone.
vers. 13
Yea, I before the day am He,
out of mine hand can none
Deliver; I will work, and who
shall make obstruction?
The Lord, who thy Redeemer is,
Israels holy One,
Thus sayeth, for your sakes I have
sent unto Babylon.
And have brought down their Nobles all,
the Chaldeans, whose cry
Is in the ships. I am the Lord,
thy holy One; and I
Am thy Creator, Israel,
your King, The Lord thus saith,
Who makes into the sea a way,
in waters strong a path.
Brings Chariot, horse, army and power
forth, they together low
Shal ly, not rise; they are extinct,
they quenched are as tow.
vers. 25
I, ev'n I am He that do's blot
out thy transgressions all
For mine own sake, I'le not thy sins
unto remembrance call.
Isa. 44.6.
Thus sayes the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
Israels King, and His
Redeemer, I'm the first, the last,
besides Me no God is.
Isa. 57.15.
Thus saith the high and lofty One
that in eternity
Dwells, whose Name holy is, I dwel
in th'holy place and hie;
And with him that's of a contrite
and of a humble sp'rit,
The sp'rit of th'humble to revive,
and th'heart of the contrite.
Isa. 66.1.
The heav'n's my throne, earth's my footstool,
thus hath the Lord exprest:
Where is the house ye build to Me?
where's the place of my rest?
All these mine hand made, they have been;
but to him sayes the Lord,
I'le look that's poor of contrite sp'rit,
and trembleth at my word.
Ier. 2.12.
O heav'ns, be ye astonished
at this, and horriblie
Be ye afraid, saith the Lord,
most desolat be ye.
Because they, ev'n they, who by Name
and Right, My people be,
Committed have two hainous ills:
they have forsaken Me
The living waters fountain full,
and hew'd them out with pain
A cistern, broken cisterns which
no water can contain.
Ier. 3.23.
From hills and mountains multitude
in vain's our expectation:
Truly into the Lord our God
is Israels salvation.
Ier. 5.22.
Fear ye not Me, sayeth the Lord?
Will ye not trembling stand
At my presence, who for the seas
bound placed have the sand,
By a perpetual decree,
that it cannot transgress
Although its waves still toss themselves,
and each on other press;
Yet they cannot a whit prevail,
although they swell and roar,
And rage, yet can they never pass
over the sandy shoar?
But this vile people have a heart,
that's to revolting pron,
A heart rebellious; and they
revolted, are and gone.
Neither say they into their hearts,
Let us now fear the Lord
Our God, who by free gift the rain
do 's lib'rally afford;
The former and the latter rain
in his season; and He
Reserves to us the weeks, which for
harvest appointed be.
Ier. 9.23.
Thus saith the Lord, let not the wise
man glory and delight
In his wisdom, nor let the strong
man glory in his might,
Let not the rich man glory in
his riches, which will flie:
Let him that glories, glory in
this, that he knoweth Me,
And understands, that I the Lord
exerce in earth aright
Lov's kindness, judgement, righteousness;
for in these I delight.
Ier. 10.6.
There's none like Thee, LORD, Thou art great,
Thy Name is great in might,
Who would not fear Thee, for to Thee
it appertains by right,
O King of nations? since among
all the wise men who be
In nations and kingdoms all,
there is none like to Thee.
vers. 10.
The Lord He is the God of truth,
the Living God is He,
And He's an everlasting King,
King of eternitie.
The earth shall tremble at His wrath,
and people of each nation,
Shall not be able to abide
His wrathful indignation.
vers. 12 Ier. 51.15.
He by His power made the earth,
by His wisdom alone
Stablisht the world, stretcht out the heav'ns
by His discretion.
A noise of waters is in heav'n,
if He his voice extend,
And from the end of earth He makes
the vapours to ascend.
He maketh lightnings with the rain,
He contraries doth bind
To serve Him joyntly, and out of
His treasures brings the wind.
v. 16.
Iacob his portion's not like them:
for He all things did frame,
Israel's his heritages rod;
Lord of hosts is his Name,
v. 14.
O Lord, though our iniquities
against us testifie,
Do thou for Thy Names sake, for our
backslidings many be,
We sinn'd against Thee. O Isra'ls hope,
from whom's our expectation,
And Israels Saviour in time
of troublous tribulation.
Why shouldst thou as a stranger be,
as a way-faring wight,
Into the land who turns aside
to tarry for a night?
Why as a man astonied
shouldst Thou thy self behave,
Or like unto a man who is
mighty, that cannot save?
Yet Thou art in the midst of us,
O Lord, and worthless we
Have thy name called over us,
Leave us not utterlie.
Ier. 16.19.
O Lord, my strength and my fortress,
my refuge in the day
Of trouble, Gentiles from earths ends
shall come to Thee, and say,
Surely for their inheritance
our fathers lies have had,
And vanity, and things whereof
no profit can be made.
Ier. 17.13.
O Lord the hope of Israel,
all that forsake thee shall
Ashamed be, and they who do
depart from thee; shall all
Be written in the earth, for they
forsaken have the Lord
The fountain, which for ever do'th
living waters afford.
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be
healed of each disease
Save me, and I shall saved be
because thou art my praise.
Ier. 23.23.
The Lord saith, Am I a God at hand,
and not a God afar?
Can any hide himself in these
places that secret are,
That I shall not him, says the Lord,
in secret places see?
Do I not fill, sayeth the Lord,
the heav'n and earth fullie?
Ier. 31.3.
Yea, with an everlasting love
I freely loved thee;
Therefore with loving kindness I
have drawen thee to Me.
Ier. 31.25.
For I the wearied Soul have
fill'd to satiety,
And I each soul that's sorrowfull
replenished fully.
Ier. 32.17.
Ah! Lord God, Lo, Thou made the heav'n
and earth by Thy great might
And stretcht out arm, and there's nothing
that is hid from Thy sight,
Or is hard for Thee. Thou do's show
thy loving kindness free
To thousands, and do's recompence
fathers iniquity
Into their childrens bosom, who
continue after them:
The Great, the Mighty God, the Lord
of hosts, this is his Name.
In counsel great, mighty in work,
for thine eyes look upon
All the wayes of the sons of men,
to give to every one
According to his wayes, and to
the fruit of his doings,
Which in the land of Egypt hast
thy wonders set and signs.

of all flesh: Can there be
A doubt that there is any thing
that is too hard for Me?

Endures from generation
to generation.

The Lord God sayeth, as I live,
I have no pleasure in
The wickeds death, but that he turn
from his own way of sin,
And so may live: Turn ye, turn ye
from your ill wayes to Me;
For wherefore will ye willfully,
O house of Israel, die?
Dan. 2.20.
The Name of God for ever and
for ever blessed be:
Because Wisdom and Might are His,
times, seasons changeth He.
He Kings removes, and Kings setts up:
He wisdom doth bestow
Vnto the Wise, knowledge to those
who understanding know.
He deep and secret things reveals:
he understandeth well
What is into the darkness, and
the light doth with Him dwell.
vers. 47
Truly your God is God of gods,
and He is Lord of kings,
And He is a revealer, who
discovers secret things.
Dan. 4.37.
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise,
extoll, and honour hy
The King of heaven, all whose works
are truth and verity:

And pride He's able to abase,
to humble and depress,

Belong, though we against Him have
rebelled wickedly.

The fierceness of my wrath I'le not
execute upon thee,
I'le not return for to destroy
Ephraim utterlie:
For I'm God, not man, in the midst
of thee, the holy One,
I'le not the City enter in
to make destruction.
[...]os. 13 [...].
O Isra'l, thou destroy'd thy self;
but thine help is in Me;
I'le be thy King: Where's one that can
in all thy towns save thee?
[...]el. 2. [...].
Therefore now also saith the Lord,
turn ye ev'n unto Me;
With all your heart, with fasting, weep,
and mourn ye tenderlie.
And rent your heart and not your clothes,
and to the Lord turn ye,
The Lord your God: for gracious,
and mercifull is He,
And unto anger slow, of great
kindness, and doth repent
Him of the ill. Who knows if He
return will, and relent,
And leave a blessing Him behind,
ev'n a meat-offering,
And a drink-off'ring, which we to
the Lord our God may bring?
Amos [...].13.
For it's He who the mountains forms,
and who creats the wind.
And who declareth unto man
what's the thought of his mind;
He who the morning darkness makes,
treads on earths places hie,
The Lord, the God of hosts his Name
is, and shall ever be.
[...]mos [...]8.
Seek Him who maketh Pleiades
who makes Orion bright,
And deaths dark shadow doth convert
unto the mornings light.
Darkens the day with night: Calls f [...]
Seas waters, and the same
Poures out upon the face of earth;
IEHOVAH is his Name.
The spoiled He against the strong
recruites, and strong doth make;
So that the spoil'd shal come against
the fortress it to take.
Amos 9.5.
The Lord the God of hosts who doth
the land touch, and it shall
Melt, and all that dwell therein shall
mourn, it shall rise up all
Wholly, ev'n like unto a flood,
and it shall drowned be
As by the flood of Egypt; He
who builds His stories hie,
Ev'n the ascending towring Spheres,
the orbs celestial.
And founded hath his troup on earth,
He who doth also call
For the abounding waters of
the sea, and poures the same
Abundantly out on the face
of earth, the Lord's his Name.
Mic. 7.18.
Who is a Godlike Thee, who do'st
pardon iniquity,
And trespass of the remnant of
His heritage pass by?
His anger and His wrath for ay
He doeth not retain,
Because in mercy He delights,
and He will turn again,
He will compassion have on us,
He our inquities
Subdue will; all their sins Thou wilt
cast in the depths of Seas.
The truth to Iacob thou'lt perform,
mercy to Abraham,
Which to our fathers thou of old
hast sworn by thy great Name.
[...]eb. 6.7.
Wherein God willing to shew forth
the more abundantly
Vnto the heirs of glory, the
immutability
Of His counsel, confirmed it
by oath most solemnlie;
That by two things immutable,
in which God cannot lie.
We might strong consolation have,
who taken have our flight
For refuge, to take hold upon
the hope set in our sight.
Nah. [...].2.
The Lord's a jealous God, the Lord
revengeth certainly,
The Lord revengeth, and He hath
furie, the Lord most hy,
Will surely vengeance take upon
all His adversaries;
And He reserveth as in store
wrath for his enemies.
The Lord's to anger slow, and great
in pow'r, the obstinate
Will not at all acquit; the Lord
His way in glorious state
Hath in the whirlewind, and in
the storm, and clouds of sky
Are his feets dust. He doth rebuke
the sea, and makes it dry,
And drieth all the rivers up;
Bashan hanging its head,
And Carmel languish, and the flower
of Lebanon doth fade.
The mountains quake at Him, and hills
melt, th'earth at his divine
Presence is burned, yea the world,
and all that dwell therein.
Before His indignation
who can stand? Who is he
That can abide the fierceness of
His anger? His furie
Is poured out like unto fire,
and rocks He down doth throw.
The Lord is good, a strength in time
of trouble; and doth know
Who trust in Him: but will by flood
ov'running Ninivies
Place bring to utter end, darkness
shall chase His enemies.
Hab. 1.12.
From everlasting art Thou not,
O IEHOVAH, my God,
My holy One? We shall not die:
for a judicial rod,
O Lord, thou hast ordained them;
O God omnipotent,
Thou founded and established
hast them for chastisement.
Thou art of eyes which purer are
than to behold and see
That which is evil, and cannot
look on iniquitie.
Hab. 3.17.
Although the fig-tree blossom not,
nor any fruit shall be
Into the Vine, the labour of
the Olive fail and lie,
And though the fields shall yield no meat,
the flock cut off withall
Shall from the fold be, and there shall
no herd be in the stall:
Yet in IEHOVAH I'le rejoice
with exultation,
I'le joy with leaping, in the God▪
of my salvation.
The Lord God is my strength, and He
will make my feet to be
Like hindes, and He will make me walk
upon my places hie.
Zeph. 3.5.
The just Lord in its midst will not
commit iniquitie
Each morn He judgment brings to light,
deficient is not He.
vers. 17.
The Lord thy God in midst of thee
is mighty, save He will,
He will rejoice ov'r thee with joy,
He'l rest in his love still,
With singing he'l joy over thee:
and I will gather them
Who sad and sorrowful are, for
the assembly solemn.
Who are of thee, to whom the sad
reproach opprobrious
Of the solemn assembly was
a burden grieveous.

Acts 14.15.
Ye should turn from these vanities

Acts 17.23.
The God unknown, whom ye therefore
since ye him do not know
Ignorant worship, he it is
whom I declare to you.
God that the world made, and all things
therein, seing that he
Is Lord of heav'n and earth, dwels not
in those temples, which be
With hands made, nor is worshipped
with mens hands, as though he
Did stand in need of any thing,
seeing he gives freely
To all, life, and breath, and all things;
of one blood he did make
Each nation of men, on all
earths face their dwelling take.
And hath determined the times
which by fore-ordination
Appointed were, and the dispos'd
bounds of their habitation:
That they might seek the Lord, if they
happ'ly might feel, and thus
Find him, although he be not far
from every one of us:
For in him we live, move, and are,
as some poets with you
Said, for and we are his off-spring.
Since therefore this is true,
That we're God's off-spring, we ought not
to think the Deitie
Like gold, silver, stone grav'd by art,
and humane phantasie.

Before God, whom he did believe,

Knowledge of God! how far beyond
all search his judgements be,
And his wayes passed finding out!
for who hath known and seen

Or who to him first gave, and it
shall be restor'd again?
For of, through, to him all: to him
glory be ay. Amen.

Iesus, eternally.

Vnto the King of ages all,

Through ages all be unto Him,
Amen, so let it be.
1 Tim, 6.15.
To the blest, only Potentate,

Hath seen, or can see, Honour be,
and endless Pow'r. Amen.
Heb. 2.10.
For it became Him, for whom all,
and by whom, all things be,
In bringing may sons unto

To make the Captain, the Author

Most perfectly accomplished
by suff'rings undergone.
Heb. 12 [...].
Moreover we had fathers of
our flesh, who did correct
Us, and we gave them reverence,
Shall we not be subject
Much more unto the Father of
Spirits, that we may live?
For they truly for some few dayes
to us did chastning give,
As it did seem to them; but He
for our commoditie,
For this, that of His holiness
we might partakers be.
Iam. 1.17.
Each good gift from above comes down,
and each perfect donation
From the Father of lights, with whom
there is no variation,
Nor shade of change. Of his own will
with the true word did he
Beget us, that of his creatures
we might some first fruit be.
Iam. 4.12.
There's one Lawgiver, who can save,

Who art thou, that thou should presume

Rev. 1.4.
From Him which is, was, is to come,
grace be to you and peace;
And from the Spirits sev'n, which are
before his throne of grace:
And from Iesus, the Saviour,
Christ, by anointing made,
The faithful witness, and the first
begotten from the dead.
And the Prince of the kings on earth.
To Him that loved us,
And wash'd us from our sins in his
own blood most precious;
And made us Kings and Priests to God
his Father, to Him then
Be glory and dominion
for evermore. Amen.
Rev, 4.8.
Each of the four beasts had six wings
about them round, and they
Were full of eyes, they have no rest
by night, nor yet by day;
Saying. Holy, holy, holy
Lord God omnipotent,
Which was, and is, and is to come,
the same still permanent.
And when these beasts glory, honour,
and thanks to him did give
That on the throne sat, who for all
Eternity doth live,
The four and twenty Presbyters
did down before him fall
That sat upon the throne, who lives
to ages, ages all.
And cast their crowns before the throne,
saying, Thou art, O Lord,
Worthy to take glore, honour, pow'r:
for thou hast by thy word
All things of nothing made, and they
are yet continued still,
And were at first created for
the pleasure of Thy will.
Rev. 6.9.
And when the Lamb had opened
the fifth seal, I did see
Vnder th'altar the souls of them
that were slain cruellie
For God's word, and testimony
which firmly held had they
Vnto the death, and they did cry
with a loud voice, and say,
How long, O Lord, holy and true,
to Iudge do'st thou forbear,
And to avenge our blood on those
who earths indwellers are,
And white robes to each one of them
were giv'n, and it was said
To them, that for a little time
they should yet rest apaid,
Vntil their fellow-servants, and
their brethren that should be
Killed as they had been, should be
fulfilled perfectlie.
Rev. 7.9.
After I saw, and lo, a great,
numberless multitude
Of nations, and kindreds all,
and people, and tongues stood,
Before the throne, and stood before
the Lamb, cloth'd and aray'd.
In white robes, and palms in their hands,
and with a loud voice cry'd,
Saying, Salvation to our God,
which sits the throne upon,
And to the Lamb. And th'Angels all
stood round about the throne.
And Presbyters, and the four beasts,
and did fall down before
The throne upon their faces, and
God humbly did adore.
Saying, Amen, Blessing and Glore,
Wisdom, Thanks, Honour hie,
And Power, and Might, be to our God
for ay, so let it be.
Rev. 10.6.
And sware by him that liveth for
ages and ages, who
Created heaven and things that
are there, and earth below
And things that therein are, and sea
and all things there that swime,
And things that creep therein, that there
should be no longer time.
Rev. 11 15.
The sev'nth Angel sounds, and in heav'n
great voices were, these words,
Saying, The kingdoms of the world
are now become our Lords,
And his Christs kingdoms, and He shall
reign unto ages all.
And th'elders twice twelve, which before
God, sat on thrones, did fall
Vpon their faces, and ador'd
God, in most reverent
Manner, saying, We give thee thanks,
Lord God omnipotent,
Who art, and wast, and art to come;
because Thou unto Thee
Hast taken thy great power, and
hast reign'd gloriouslie.
Rev. 14.6.
And I another Angel saw
in midst of heav'n flee
Having the Gospel, which endures
unto eternitie.
To preach to all that dwell on earth,
and unto nations all,
And to each kindred, and each tongue,
and people, great and smal,
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God,
and give Him glory, for
The hour of His Iudgment is come:
and worship and adore
Him, that did make the heaven high,
and made the earth below,
And made the Sea, and fountains, which
in waters out do flow.
Rev. 15 [...].
And they the song of Moses sing,
the servant of the Lord;
The Lambs song also they did sing,
saying with one accord,
Both great and marvellous thy works,
Lord God Almighty, are;
Iust and true are Thy wayes, Thou King
of Saints, Who would not fear
Thee, O Lord God, and glorifie
thy Name, and it declare,
To be most glorious; Because
Thou only holy are:
For all the Nations shal come,
and worship in thy sight;
Because Thy righteous Iudgments are
made manifest and bright.
[...]ev. 16.
And I did hear the Angel of
the waters, who did say,
Thou righteous art, O Lord, who art,
and wast, and shalt be ay,
Because thou thu judg'd: for thy Saints
and Prophets blood they shed;
And Thou gav'st them blood to drink; for
they this deserved had.
And I another heard, out of
the Altar say, Trulie
Lord God Almighty, Thy Iudgments
both true and righteous be.
[...]v. [...].1.
I heard in heaven a great voice
of a great companie,
Saying, Allelujah, O praise
unto the Lord give ye.
Salvation, Honour, Glory, Pow'r,
to the Lord our God: for
True and just are His Iudgments; for
He judged the great whore,
Which did corrupt the earth with her
vile fornication, and
Hath the blood of His servants dear
avenged at her hand.
Again they Allelujah said,
Praise to the Lord give ye;
And the whores smoke ascended up
unto eterni [...]ie.
And then the Elders twenty four,
and the four beasts did fall
Down, and did worship God, that sat
on the throne, saying all,
Amen; Allelujah, O praise
to IAH IEHOVAH be.
And from the throne there came a voice
saying our God praise ye,
His servants all, and ye both smal
and great, who do Him fear.
And I a voice, as of a great
multitude, then did hear;
As many waters voice, and as
the voice of strong thundrings,
Saying, Allelujah: for the
Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us joy, leap, and give Him glore:
for the Lambs marriage-day
Is come, and His Wife hath her self
prepar'd in her array.
And it was giv'n to her to be
arrayed in the dress
Of clean white linen fine; for this
is the Saints righteousness.
Iude ver. 24.
To Him that's able you to keep
from falling, and you set
Before His glory, without spot,
in joy exceeding great,
To God our Saviour, only Wise,
be glory, Majestie,
Dominion, Power, now and ay.
Amen, so let it be.

Beware of Him, obey His voice,

But if thou shalt indeed His voice
hear, and obey the same,
And do all that I speak; I will

An enemy, th'adversarie

And this is He concerning whom,
Moses did prophesie;

From thy brethren, out of the midst

To Him shall every one of you

And that He at the latter day

And though after my skin the worms
this body do destroy,
Yet in my flesh I shall see God,
and his presence enjoy:
Whom mine eyes shal behold, and whom

And not another, though my reins

For ever, this true David did

Prov. 8.22.
In the beginning of his way
the Lord possessed me,
Before his works of old, I was
ev'n from eternitie
Set up, from the beginning, ere
earth was, or depths profound,
I was brought forth ere fountains were
in waters which abound.
Before the mountains setled were;
before the hills was I
Brought forth, ere He had made the e [...]
or fields, or part most hy
Of the dust of the World. When He
the heavens did prepare.
And set acompass on the face
of the depth, I was there,
When He established the clouds,
and fountains of the depth
He strength'ned, when He to the Sea
gave his command to keep,
That the waters thereof should not
pass beyond His command,
When He the earths foundations
appointed firm to stand:
Then I was by Him, one brought up
with Him, and His delight
I daily was, rejoycing still
before Him in His sight.
And in the habitable part
of His earth, I ev'n then
Rejoyced still, and My delights
were with the sons of men.
Now therefore, O ye children, hear
and listen unto Me:
For blessed are they who do keep
my wayes observantlie.
Instruction hear, and be ye wise,
and do it not refuse:
Blest is the man that heareth Me,
and doeth daily use
To watch at my gates, waiting doth
at my doors posts remain;
For who finds Me, finds life, and shall
the Lords favour obtain.
But he who doth against Me sin,
(this doth his madness prove)
Wrongs his own soul; every one
who hates me, death doth love,
This Song of Songs that's Solomons,
is set all songs above;
Because it sings so much of Christ
His loveliness and Love.
Christs Spirit in the Prophets speaks,
of Him they prophesie:
Isaiah in his vision,
did him most clearly see.
Isa. 4.2.
In that day shall IEHOVAH'S Branch,
beautie and glory be,
Most beautiful and glorious,
in the highest degree,
And th'earths fruit shall be lifted up
on high, it shall excell,
And comely be, for those who be
the 'scap'd of Israel.
Isa. 7.14.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give
to you a wondrous sign:
Behold, a virgin shall conceive,
and forth a Son shall bring.
And shall his Name Immanuel call,
O Name most precious,
Mat. 1.23. Isa. 9.6
Which sayes, that God in Christ, God-man
is God with and for us.
For unto us a child is born,
a Son giv'n graciouslie
Is to us, and the Government
shall on His shoulder be:
His Name shall be call'd Wonderful,
Counseller, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
there shall no period
Be of His governments increase,
and peace on Davids throne,
And his Kingdom, to order it,
and stablish it upon
Iustice and Iudgement, from henceforth
ev'n to eternitie:
The Lord of hosts his Zeal shall this
perform most perfectlie▪
Isa. 11.1.
And out of lesse's stemme there shall
come forth a tender rod,
And from his roots a branch shall grow,
on him shall make abode,
The spirit of the Lord, the sp'rit
of wisdom in its height,
And understanding, the Spirit
of counsel and of might,
The spirit of knowledge, and of
IEHOVAHS fear; and shal
Make him of understanding quick
in reverential
Fear of the Lord, and He shall not
Iudge after his eyes sight,
Not after hearing of His ears
reprove; but judge aright
The poor with righteousness, and shall
reprove with equitie
For the meek of the earth; and with
his mouths rod smite shall he
Th'earth, with his lips breath he shall slay
the wicked: Righteousness
Shall His loins girdle be, and His
reins girdle faithfulness.
vers. 10
And in that day of grace there shall,
a root of lesse be,
Which as the peoples ensign shall
stand and stay stedfastlie:
Vnto it shall the Gentiles seek,
inquiring earnestlie,
And his rest shall be glorious,
yea, it shall glory be.
Isa. 16.5.
And in mercy the throne shall be
stablish't with stedfastness
And He shall fixtly sit on it
in truth and faithfulness;
In Davids tabernacle He
judgeth continually,
And seeking Iudgment, righteousness
He hasteth speedily.
Isa. 28.16.
Therefore the Lord God sayeth thus,
for a foundation,
Behold, in Sion I do lay
a Stone, a tried stone,
A corner stone, most precious,
a sure foundation:
That man shall not make haste who doth
believe his Name upon.
Isa. 32.1.
Behold, a King in righteousness
shall reign, and Princes hie
Shal rule in judgment. And a man
a hiding place shall be
From the wind, and a covert from
the tempest, which doth blow:
As rivers of waters which in
a place that's drie do flow;
And as the cooling shadow of
a great rock, which doth stand
For the faint travellers solace
into a weary land.
Isa. 42.1.
My Servant whom I do uphold,
Behold, O wondrous sight!
My Elect One, in whom my soul
doth constantly delight.
I have my spirit put on Him,
He to the Gentiles shall
Iudgment bring forth. He shall not cry,
nor lift up, nor at all
Cause his voice to be heard into
the street. A bruised reed
He shall not break, the smoking flax
he shall not quench but feed.
He shall bring forth Iudgment to truth,
He shall not fail, nor be
Discouraged, until He hath
set judgment stedfastlie
Into the earth; and for his Law
the Isles shall duely wait.
Thus saith God the Lord, He that
the heavens did create,
And stretcht them out, spre'd forth the earth
and what comes out of it,
To folk on it, who walk therein,
who giveth breath and sp'rit.
I IEHOVAH have called Thee
in righteousness, and I
Will hold thine hand, and will thee keep,
and give Thee graciously
To be the peoples covenant
and for the Gentiles light;
To open the blind eyes of those
who want both light and sight:
To bring the prisoners out of
the prison grieveous,
And these who do in darkness fit
out of the prison-house.
I am the LORD, that is my Name,
My glory I no wise
Will to another give, nor to
grav'n images my praise.
Isa. 49.6.
It is a light thing that thou should
be my servant onlie,
Iacobs tribes to raise, and restore
these who preserved be
Of Isra'l; for the Gentiles light
I also will give thee,
That thou unto the end of th'earth
may my salvation be.
Isa. 50.4.
The Lord God freely given hath
the learned tongue to me,
That I might know, how I might speak
a word seasonablie
To him that's weary, he wak'neth
morning by morning; he
Wak'neth mine ear to hear, as these
hear, who the learned be.
The Lord God he hath opened
mine ear, and I was not
Rebellious, nor turned back,
my back to these who smote
I gave, and gave my cheeks to them
that plucked off the hair,
My face I did not hide from shame,
and spitting I did bear.
Because the Lord God will me help,
therefore I shall not be
Confounded; therefore I my face
like flint set stedfastlie,
And I know that I shall not be
asham'd; for near is he
That justifies me, Who is he
that will contend with me?
Let us together stand: he who
is my adversarie,
Let him come near to me. Behold,
the Lord God help will me,
Who is he that shall me condemn?
Lo, as a garment doth
They altogether shall wax old,
them eat up shall the moth.
Isa. 52.13.
Behold, my servant he shall deal
prudently, he shall be
Exalted and extolled, and
he shall be very hie.
As many 'stonisht were at thee;
(His visage so more then
Any mans marred was, his form
more than the sons of men.)
So He shall many nations
sprinkle, the kings shall be
Silent, shutting their mouths at Him;
for they shall come to see
That which had not unto them been
before told and declar'd,
And shall consider seriouslie
that which they had not heard.
Isa. 53.1.
Who hath believed our report,
the preached, heared word?
To whom revealed is the arm
of IEHOVAH, the Lord?
Because before him as a plant
tender grow up shall he,
And as a root out of a ground,
which parched is and drie.
He hath no form nor comliness;
and when we shall Him see,
There is no aspect specious,
that Him desire should we.
He is despised, and of men
deserted and cast by,
A man of sorrows, knowing griefs
experimentally,
And we hid as it were from Him
our faces; He with scorn
Despis'd was, we esteem'd Him not.
He verily hath born
Our griefs, and sorrows carried
He hath: Yet Him to be
Smitten, stricken, and afflicted
of God esteem did we.
But He for our tra [...]sgressions
was wounded, bruis'd was He
For our sins; the chastisement of
our peace on Him did lie.
And with His stripes we healed are.
All we like Sheep astray
Have gone, we turned every one
unto his owen way.
And upon Him the Lord hath laid
all the iniquitie
Of all of us. He was opprest,
afflicted much was He,
Yet He did not open His mouth:
like to a Lamb is He
Brought to the slaughter, as a sheep
that still and dumb doth lie
Before the shearers, so His mouth
He op'ned not at all.
He was from prison taken and
from judgment; and who shall
Declare his generation?
Because cut off was He
Out of the land of these who live,
for the iniquitie
Of my people He stricken was,
and in his death he made
With the wicked, and with the rich,
His grave, because He had
No vi'lence done, nor was there ought
of guile or fallacie
In his mouth; yet it pleas'd the Lord
to bruise Him grievouslie,
And He hath put His soul to grief;
when thou his soul to be
An offering for sin shalt make,
then he his seed shall see,
He shall prolong his dayes, the Lords
pleasure shal prosp'rous be
Into His hand. Of the travel
of his soul he shall see,
And shall well satisfied be;
and by His knowledge he
Who is my servant righteous
shal many justifie:
For He shall their iniquities
bear; therefore I'le decide
A portion to him with the great,
and He the spoil divide
Shall with the strong; because his soul
He pour'd out willinglie
Vnto the death, and such a death:
and numbered was He
With the transgressours, and He bare
the sins of many one,
And for these that transgressours were
made intercession.
Isa. 54.4.
Thou shalt thy widowhoods reproach
forget, and thy youths shame;
For thy Maker thine husband is,
the Lord of hosts his Name,
And thy Redeemer, th'holy One
of Israel, ev'n He
God of the habitable earth
throughout shall called be.
Isa. 55.2.
Ho, every one that thirsts, come ye
to the waters, and he
That hath no money; come ye, buy
and eat, yea come to Me,
Without money, and without price,
buy wine and milk. Wherefore
Spend ye money for that which is
no bread? and your labour
For that which satisfieth not?
Hearken diligently
To Me, and eat ye that which is
good in reality.
In fatness let your soul delight
it self, incline and give
Your ear, and come unto Me, hear,
and so your soul shall live.
And I will make a covenant
with you, which shall endure,
An everlasting covenant,
ev'n Davids mercies sure.
Behold, I have Him freely giv'n
to the people, that He,
A witness, Leader, Commander,
may to the people be.
Behold, thou shalt a Nation call
thou knows not, and to Thee
These nations that Thee know not, shall
to Thee run chearfullie.
Because of IEHOVAH thy GOD,
for Him who the holy
One of Israel is, for He
hath glorified thee.
And the Redeemer, saith the Lord,
[...]sa. 59. [...]0.
shall come unto Sion,
And to these who in Iacob turn
from their transgression.
[...]sa. 61. [...].
The Spirit of the Lord God is
on me, because the Lord
Anointed me, unto the meek
good tidings to record,
These who are broken in their heart
to bind up tenderly;
He sent me to proclaim unto
the captives liberty,
And th'opening of the prison to
these who are therein bound;
The Lord his year acceptable
to cry with solemn sound,
The day also of the revenge
of our God; and each one
That mourns to comfort; to appoint
to these who mourn and moan
In Sion, Sions mourners sad,
to give for their relief
Beautie for ashes, and the oil
of Ioy for mourning grief,
Of praise the joyfull garment, for
the sp'rit of heaviness,
That they might call'd be by the Name
of trees of righteousness
The plant, and the plantation
of IEHOVAH, that He
Might glory, glorifie himself,
and glorified be.
Isa. 63.9.
He in all their affliction
afflicted was, and He
Who th'Angel of his presence is
them saved and set free:
He them redeemed in His love
and pity, which doth spare,
And He in all the days of old
them carried, and bare.
Ier. 23.5.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,

Raise up a Righteous Branch, a King

Iudgment and justice in the earth

Israel safely dwell.
And his Name (O sweet Name! which do [...]
with righteousness us bless.)
Wherewith He shall be called, is
The Lord our Righteousness.

it set, and then will I
From the top of his tender twigs
crop off a tender one,
And will it plant a mountain high
and eminent upon.
Ev'n in the mountain of the height
of Israel, will I
Plant it, and it shal bring forth boughs,
and it shal fructifie;
And shal a goodly cedar be,
under it shal dwel all
Foul of each wing, and in the shade
of its boughs dwel they shall.
[...]ek. [...]4.23.
And I'l one Shepherd set ov'r them,
my servant David, He
Shall feed them, He shall feed them, and
He shal their Shepherd be.
And I the Lord will be their God,
David my servant fit
Shal be a Prince among them, I
the Lord have spoken it.
[...]ek. [...].22.
And I will them one nation
make in the land, upon
Israels mountains, one King shal
be King to them each one:
And they shal not be any more
two nations, neither shal
They parted into kingdoms two
be any more at all.
[...]an. 7. [...].
I saw in the night visions,
and one, behold, and see
Like to the Son of man, came with
the clouds of heav'n, and He
Came to the Ancient of dayes,
they brought him near before
Him. And there was given to Him,
Dominion, and glore,
And a Kingdom, that people all
and nations each one,
All languages, by right should Him
serve: His Dominion
Is a Dominion, which lasts
for ever and for ay,
His Kingdom that which shall not be
destroy'd, nor pass away.
The Prince Messiah is reveal'd
clearly to Daniel
The man greatly belov'd, to him
the Angel Gabriel
Dan. 9 24.
Reveals, the time determin [...]d to
finish transgression,
To make an end of sin, and for
iniquities each one,
A reconciliation
to make, and in to bring
An everlasting righteousness,
the vision up to sign,
And prophesie, and the holy,
of holies to anoint.
And to the time of cutting off
Messiah he doth point.
Hos. 3.5.
After these desolations,
Israels children shall
Return and seek the Lord their God;
and they shal seek with all
David their King, and they the Lord
with reverence shall fear,
And fear His goodness; this shal in
the latter dayes appear.
Hos. 22. [...].
He took his brother by the heel,
ev'n in the womb, and by
His strength he power had with God,
behav'd himself princely;
And he had ov'r the angel pow'r
and did prevail, and he
Wept, and made supplication
unto him earnestlie:
In Bethel he him found, and there
He did speak with us all,
Ev'n the Lord God of hosts, the Lord
is his memorial.
Hos. 13.14.
Them from the power of the grave
I will by ransom free,
And I will them redeem from death:
O death, thy plagues I'l be.
O grave, I'le thy destruction be
from mine eyes hid shal be
1 Cor. 15.55.
Repentance, Death, where is thy sting?
Grave, wher's thy victorie?
Deaths sting is Sin; the Law sins strength,
but to God praises be,
Who, through our Lord Christ Iesus, gives
to us the victory.
Micah 5.2.
And thou Bethlehem Ephratah,
although thou little be
Among Iehudahs thousands, yet
from out of thee, shal He
Come forth unto Me, He who shal
Ruler in Isra'l be.
Whose goings forth have been of old,
even from eternitie.
vers. 4.
And in IEHOVAH'S strength, and in
the glorious Majestie,
Of the Name of the Lord his God,
stand, feed and rule shall He,
And they abide shal: for now great
to th'earths end He shal be.
And this Man he shal be the Peace,
when our fierce enemie,
The proud Assyrian shal come
into our land, when he
Into our stately Palaces
shal tread triumphantlie.
Hag. 2.6.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, yet once,
it's a short while, and I
Will shake the heav'ns, and earth, and sea,
and the land that is dry:
And all the Nations of the earth
shake and remove I will;
And the desire of Nations all
shall come, and I will fill
This house with glory, saith the Lord
of hosts: Silver to me
Be [...]ongs, the gold is mine, thus saith
the Lord of hosts most hie.
The glory of this latter house,
shal be more glorious,
And greater far, than ever was
that of the former house,
Sayeth IEHOVAH, who is Lord
of hosts; and in this place
Sayeth the Lord of hosts, I will
most graciously give peace.
Zech. 1.12.
Then did the Angel of the Lord
speak, and this answer gave,
O Lord of hosts most high, How long
wilt thou not mercy have
Vpon Ierusalem, and on
Iudahs cities each one,
'Gainst which thou hast these seventy years
had indignation.
The Lord the Angel answered
that talkt with me, who stood
Among the myrtle trees, with words
comfortable and good.
Zech. 3.1.
And he shew'd to me Ioshuah,
the high Priest, who did stand
Before the Angel of the Lord,
and Satan at his hand,
His right hand standing, to resist
him. And the Lord this word
Said unto Satan, Lord, rebuke
thee, Satan, ev'n the Lord,
That chosen hath Ierusalem,
rebuke thee in his ire:
Is not this a branch plucked out
of the devouring fire?
vers. 8.
O Ioshuah, the high Priest, thou
thy fellows also, hear,
They who before thee sit, because
they men of wonder are,
Behold, I'le bring my servant forth
the BRANCH. Behold, the stone
That I laid before Ioshuah,
seven eyes shall be upon
One stone: Lo, I'le its graving grave,
the LORD of hosts doth say,
And I'le remove th'iniquity
of that Land in one day.
Zech. 6.12.
Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying,
Behold, the man whose Name
The BRANCH is, and He shal grow up
out of his place; the same
Shal build the temple of the Lord;
ev'n He shal edifie
The Temple of IEHOVAH, and
the glory bear shal He.
And shal sit, and rule on His throne,
and on His throne shal He
Be Priest, and the counsel of peace
between them both shal be.
Zech. 9.9.
O Zions daughter greatly joy,
exult and shout on hie,
O daughter of Ierusalem:
Lo, thy King comes to thee.
He's just, and hath salvation,
a meek and lowly one,
Riding upon an ass, a colt
the asses foal upon.
Zech. 12.10.
On David's house, Ierusalems
inhabitants upon,
I will pour out the Sp'rit of grace
and supplication;
And on Me whom they peirc'd, they'l look
and mourn for Him, as one
Mourns, and in bitterness is for
an only first born son.
Zech. 13.7.
Against Him who my Shepherd is,
awake, rouse up, O sword,
And 'gainst the strong man, He who is
my fellow, saith the Lord
The Lord of Hosts, the shepherd smite,
scatt'red shall be the sheep;
And I'le upon the little ones
my hand turn, them to keep.
Mal. 3.1.
Behold, I will my messenger
send, and he shal prepare
The way before Me, and the Lord,
whom ye still seeking are
Shal quickly to his Temple come,
ev'n He who is by right
Messenger of the covenant,
in whom ye do delight
Behold, and wonder, He shall come,
IEHOVAH this doth say,
The Lord of hosts. But who is he
who may abide the day
Of His coming? And who shal stand
when He doeth appear?
For He is like to fullers sope,
like a refiners fire.
And He shal sit as one who doth
refine and purifie
Silver, and He shal purifie
these Levi's sons who be.
And them as gold and silver purge,
that being purged they
Vnto the Lord in righteousness
an off'ring offer may.
Then Iudahs and Ierusalems
off'rings shal pleasant be
To the Lord, as in dayes of old,
and in years formerlie.
Mal. 4.2.
And unto you that fear my Name,
the Sun of righteousness
Shall rise with healing in his wings,
and ye shall make progress,
And grow up as calves of the stall,
ye shal the wicked tread;
For they ashes under the soles
of your feet shall be made.
Mat. 1.21.
She shal bring forth a Son, and thou
his Name shalt IESVS call;
For He his people from their sins
save and deliver shal.
Mat. 3.16.
And lo, the heav'ns were opened
unto Him from above,
And He the Sp'rit of God did see
descending like a dove,
And lighting upon Him. And lo,
a voice from heaven came,
Saying, This is my Son belov'd,
in whom well pleas'd I am.
Mat. 11 25.
I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heav'n
and earth, for thou conceal'd
These things from wise and prudent ones,
and them to babes reveal'd.
Ev'n so Father, for so was the
good pleasure before Thee.
All things delivered over are
of my Father to Me:
None but the Father knows the Son,
none but the Son doth know
The Father, and he unto whom
the Son wills him to show.
O all ye weary, labouring ones,
and loaden, and opprest
With heavy burthens, come to Me,
and I will give you rest.
Take up my yoke on you, and learn
of Me, for I am meek
And in heart lowly; and ye shall
find rest which ye do seek,
Ev'n rest unto your weary souls:
for easie and benign
My yoke is, and my burthen is
light, not a grievous thing.
Mat. 28.18
And Iesus came, and spoke to them,
saying, Authoritie
And Power all in heav'n and earth
is given unto Me.
Go therefore, teach all nations,
baptize them in the Name
Of Father, Son, and holy Ghost:
teaching them all these same
Things which I have commanded you.
And I, behold and see,
Am with you still to the Worlds end.
Amen, so let it be.
Luke 1.31.
Lo, thou shalt in thy womb conceive,
and shalt bring forth a son,
And thou shalt His Name IESVS call:
He shall be a great one,
And shall be called by this Name,
Son of the highest One,
And the Lord God shall give to Him
his father Davids throne.
And He shall over Iacobs house,
reign to eternitie,
And of that Kingdom which belongs
to Him, no end shall be.
Then Mary to the Angel said,
How shal this be, since I
Know not a man? And unto her
the Angel did reply
And said, The Holy Ghost shal come
upon thee wond'rouslie,
And the power of the most High
shal over-shadow thee:
Therefore also that holy thing,
who is the most holy,
Which shal be born of thee, the SON
OF GOD, shal called be.
V. 69.
The Lord the God of Israel
hath raised up for us
A strong horn of Salvation, in
his servant Davids house.
vers. 78
Through the most tender mercies of
our God most gracious,
Whereby the day-spring from on high
hath come to visit us.
To them in darkness, in the shade
of death who did abide,
To give light, and into the way
of peace our feet to guide.
Luke 2.10.
The Angel said to them, Fear not,
for I, behold and see,
Bring you good tidings, great joy, which
shall to all people be.
For unto you is born this day,
in David his citie,
A Saviour, who's Christ the Lord.
And this a sign shall be
Vnto you, Ye shal find the babe
swadled where he doth ly
Into a manger. And there was
with th'Angel suddenly,
A multitude of th'heavenly host,
praising God, saying still,
Glory to God in th'highest, Peace
on earth, to men good will.
Luke 2. [...]5.
Lo there was in Ierusalem,
a man call'd Simeon,
The same was just, devout, who for
the consolation
Of Israel did wait, on him
the holy Ghost did breath.
And by the holy Ghost it was
to him reveal'd, that death
He should not see, before that he
had seen the Lord his Christ.
And he came to the temple by
the Sp'rit, who set that tryst:
And when the parents did bring in
the child Iesus, to do
To Him, after the custom of
the Law; then he came too.
Took Him up in his arms, and blest
God, and said, Now, O Lord,
Thou lets thy servant go in peace,
according to thy word.
For my eyes thy Salvation
have seen, which in thy grace
Thou hast made ready, and prepar'd
before all peoples face:
A light for revelation
of Gentiles, to dispel
Their darkness, and the glory of
thy people Israel.
Luke 3.15.
And as the people in suspense
and expectation
Were, and all men into their hearts
mused concerning Iohn,
Whether he were the Christ or not?
Iohn unto all replies,
Saying unto them, I indeed
with water you baptize.
But one who cometh after me,
mightier far than I,
The latchet of whose shoes I am
not worthy to untie.
He shall with th'holy Ghost and fire
baptize, and make you pure;
Whose fan is in his hand, and He
will throughly purge his floor:
And he together gather will
into his barn the wheat,
And will burn up the chaff with fire
unquenchable and great.
Ioh. 1.1
The Word in the beginning was
with God, the Word was God,
He was the true light.
v. 14.
And the Word
was made flesh, and abode
Amongst us, we his glory saw,
glory as of th'only
Begotten of the Father, full
of grace and verity.
ver. 29.
Iohn seeth Iesus unto him
coming, and he did say,
Behold, the Lamb of God, who doth
take the worlds sin away.
ver. 41.
He first his brother Simon finds,
sayes to him, we have found
The Messias, who is the Christ,
if you the Name expound.
ver. 49.
And answering to Iesus words,
thus said Nathanael,
Rabbi, thou art the Son of God,
the King of Israel.
Ioh. 3.16.
For God hath so loved the world,
that He his Son did give,
His Son only begotten, that
all who in Him believe
Should not be lost and perish, but
have everlasting life.
ver. 29.
He that the bride hath (I do mean,)
the bride the Lamb his wife)
Is the Bridegrom; but the friend of
the Bridegroom, who stands by
And heareth Him, he doth rejoice
with joy exceedingly,
Because of the Bridegroom his voice:
this my joy is therefore
Fulfilled. For I must decrease,
but He grow more and more.
He, He who cometh from above,
He is high above all:
He who is of the earth is of
the earth terrestrial,
And speaketh of the earth; he that
comeh from heaven hy,
Is 'bove all; what He saw and heard,
That he doth testify.
And none His testimony doth
receive: Ah very few!
He who receives His witnessing
hath seal'd, that God is true.
For he whom God sent, speaks the words
of God; for God the Sp'rit
Gives not in measure unto Him,
but in fullness compleat.
The Father loves the Son, and hath
in his hand given all;
He that believeth on the Son,
hath life perpetual.
But He who doeth not believe
the Son, life shal not see;
But God's most dreadful wrath abides
upon him constantlie.
Iohn 5.21.
For as the Father doth raise up
the dead, and them revive;
Ev'n so the Son whom ev'r He will,
these He doth make to live.
For the Father without the Son,
Iudgeth not any one,
But hath giv'n by commission
all judgment to the Son.
Iohn 6.32.
Iesus said to them, Verily,
Verily I avow
To you, that Moses did not give
that bread from heav'n to you.
But my Father in a free gift,
that bread bestows on you,
Which is from heav'n above, the bread
that real is and true.
Because he is the bread of God,
which from the heaven hy
Descendeth, and unto the world
life giveth graciously.
ver. 35.
I am the bread of life: He that
comes to Me, never shal
Hunger; and who believes on Me,
shall never thirst at all.
ver. 51.
I am the living bread, which came
down from the heaven hy;
If any eat of this bread, he
shal live eternally.
And the bread that I will give is
my flesh, which I will give
For the life of the world, that by
my death the world may live.
Iohn 8.12.
I am the Worlds light: he who Me
follows upon my call,
Shall not in darkness walk, but have
the light of life he shall.
I am the door; if any by
Me enter in, he shall
Be saved, and go in and out,
and pasture find withall.
Ioh. 10. [...].
I am that Shepherd excellent
and good, and know my own
Most perfectly; also of these
who are mine, I am known.
As me the Father knows, ev'n so
the Father know do I.
And for the Sheep I do lay down
my life most willingly.
ver. 27.
My Sheep my voice hear, and I know
them, and they follow Me;
And I give them eternal life;
and to eternitie,
They shal in no ways perish, nor
shal any pluck or reave
Them out of my hand; my Father,
who them unto me gave,
Is mightier than all, and out
of my Fathers hand none
Is able for to pluck them: I
and my Father are one.
Ioh. 11. [...]5.
The resurrection, and the life
I am; who doth believe
In Me, though he were dead, yet he
most certainly shal live.
Ioh. 14. [...].
Iesus saith unto him, I am,
the Way, the Verity,
And the Life: No man comes unto
the Father but by Me.
Ioh. 15.1.
I am the true, the real Vine,
and my Father, ev'n He
Is th'husbandman.
v. 5.
I am the vine,
and ye the branches be.
He who abides in Me, and I
in him, the same doth bring
Forth much fruit; for separat from
Me, ye can do nothing.
Ioh. 16.15.
All things whatev'r the Father hath,
are mine; therefore to you
I said, that He shal take of mine,
and unto you it show.
ver. 28.
I from the Father did come forth,
and I have come into
The World; again I leave the world,
and to the Father go.
Ioh. 17.2.
And thou hast giv'n him power of
flesh, that He to all
Whom thou hast given to Him, should
give life perpetuall.
And this is life eternal, Thee,
the only true God, and
Iesus, the Christ, whom Thou hast se [...]
to know and understand.
Acts 3.13.
The God of our Fathers his Son
Iesus hath glorifi'd;
Whom ye deliv'red up, and Him
in Pilat's face deni'd,
When he thought to have let Him go,
But ye the holy One,
And just one did deny, and ye
made your petition,
That unto you a murderer
might a free gift be made,
And kill'd the Prince of life; whom G [...]
hath raised from the dead,
Acts 4.11.
This is the stone so set at nought,
and undervalued
Of you the builders, which is now
become the corners head.
And in none else salvation is:
No name else under heav'n
By which, in which we must be sav'd,
hath among men been giv'n.
Acts 5.30.
Our fathers God rais'd Iesus, whom
ye slew, and on a tree
Hanged, him God with his right hand
exalted hath on hie,
To be a Prince and Saviour,
repentance for to give
To Israel, and all their sins
to pardon and forgive.
Rom. 1.3.
Concerning Iesus Christ his Son,
our Lord, He who was made
Of Davids seed, as to the flesh;
and was determined
To be the Son of God with pow'r,
according to the Sp'rit
Rom. 9.5.
Of holiness, by rising from
death, which he vanquisht quite.
Of whom according to the flesh
Christ came, who is most hie,
God over all, for ever blest.
Amen, so let it be.
1 Cor. 1.30.
Of him are ye in Iesus Christ,
who is of God to us
Made Wisdom, Righteousness, that we
may be made righteous;
And made Sanctification,
us for to purifie;
And made Redemption, that us
He from all ill may free.
That so according as it is
said in the written word,
The man that glorieth, let him
glory into the Lord.
2 Cor. 5.19.
God in Christ reconciling was
to Himself graciouslie
The world, imputing not to them
their trespasses, and He
Commited hath to us the word
of reconciliation:
We therefore as Ambassadours
for Christ by our vocation,
As though God you besought by us,
we pray you earnestlie
In Christ his stead, that ye to God,
would reconciled be.
For He made Him who knew no sin,
sin for us; that so we
Who sinners were, the righteousness
of God in Him might be.
Eph. 1.20.
Which He did work in Christ when he
him rais'd from the dead, and
Him in the heav'nly places did
set at his own right hand.
Far 'bove all Principalitie,
Pow'r, Might, Dominion,
And each name nam'd in this world, and
in that which cometh on.
And all things whatsoever He
subordinat hath made
Vnder his feet; and He hath Him
given for to be Head
Over all things unto the Church,
his body mysticall,
Which Church the fulness is of Him
who filleth all in all.
Phil. 2.5.
Let this mind, which was also in
Christ Iesus, in you be,
Who being in the form of God,
thought it no robberie.
To be equal with God; but of
no reputation
He made himself, and He the form
of a servant took on;
And He was in the likeness, and
the habite of men made,
And found in fashion as a man,
He hath himself humbled,
And He became obedient
to death, ev'n to the death
Of the cross. Wherefore God also
Him high exalted hath,
And a Name above every name
he hath unto him giv'n;
That every knee in Iesus name
should bowe, of things in heav'n,
And in earth, and under the earth;
and every tongue accord
To say, to God the Fathers glore,
that Iesus Christ is Lord.
Colos. 1.12.
Thanking the Father who did us
make meet, that so we might
Partake of the Inheritance
of the Saints in the light:
Who from the pow'r of darkness did
us draw and liberate,
And to the Kingdom of the Son
of His Love us translate:
In whom we have redemption,
through His blood precious,
Ev'n the forgiv'ness of our sins.
Who is the glorious
Image of God invisible,
and the first born by right
Of ev'ry creature. For all were
created by His might;
Things in the earth below, and things
into the heavens hie,
Visible and invisible,
and whether Thrones they be,
Dominions, Principalities,
Or Powers whatsoe're:
As all things by Him, so all things
for Him created were.
And He is before all things, that
have been or do exist:
And all things that are in the world,
in Him stand and consist,
And of the Body, that's to say,
the Church, He is the Head:
Who the beginning is, He is
the first born from the dead;
That He in all pre-eminent
might be, and pre-excell.
For it the Father pleas'd, that in
Him fullness all should dwell.
1 Thes. 1.10.
And to wait for his Son from heav'n,
whom he rais'd from the dead,
Ev'n Iesus, who us from the wrath
to come delivered.
1 Tim. 2.5.
For there's one God, and one between
God and men, for to tryst
As Mediator most compleat,
ev'n the man Iesus Christ.
1 Tim. 3.15.
The ground and pillar of the truth,
and without all debate,
The mysterie of godliness
is wonderfully great
God manifest was in the flesh,
He justify'd hath been,
And cleared in the Spirit, He
hath been of Angels seen,
Vnto the Gentiles preached was,
and in the world believ'd
And trusted on, and up unto
glory He was receiv'd.
Titus 2.1 [...].
Expecting for that blessed hope,
th'appearing glorious
Of the great GOD our Saviour,
Christ Iesus; who for us
Himself gave, to redeem us from
all our iniquitie;
And purge a choice folk, zealous of
good works, His own to be.
Heb. 1.1.
At sundry times, in diverse wayes,
God who spoke in times past
By Prophets to the fathers, hath
in these times which are last
Spoke to us by his Son, whom he
of all appointed Heir;
By whom also He made the World;
who is the brightness clear
Of his glory, and the express
image, character bright
Of his person upholding all
by the word of his might:
When He had by himself purged
our sins most perfectly,
[...]eb. 4. [...]4.
Sat down upon the right hand of
the Majesty on hy.
Since then we have a great high Priest,
who through the heav'n is past,
Iesus the Son of God, let us
hold our profession fast;
For we have not such an high Priest,
that cannot sympathize,
And touched with the feeling be
of our infirmities,
But he was tempted in all points
after the same likeness,
Yet without sin; wherefore let us
with boldness make address
Vnto the throne of grace, that so
we mercy may receive;
And find grace for that help, which in
the right time doth relieve.
[...]eb. 7. [...].
By so much as the Lord did swear,
and will it not repent,
Iesus was made a Sur'ty of
a better testament.
[...] 24.
But He, since He for ay abides,
hath an unchangeable
Priesthood, that passeth to none else;
Wherefore He's also able
To save unto the uttermost,
for ever perfectly,
Those who by Him come unto God;
seing eternally
He lives to interceed for them:
for such high Priest become
Vs, who is holy and harmless,
Immaculat, and from
These who are sinners separate:
and is made higher far
Than is the heaven in its hight,
or heav'n of heav'ns are.
Heb. 8.6.
But now He hath a ministry
obtain'd more excellent;
For that He's Mediator of
a better Testament:
Heb. 12.1.
Looking to Iesus, the Author
and finisher of Faith,
Who for the joy before Him set,
the cross endured hath,
The shame despis'd, and sat down at
the right hand of the Throne
Of God; for Him consider, who
such contradiction
Endured, which against himself
for sinners He did find;
Lest we fainting into our minds,
weary and fall behind.
Heb. 13.20.
Now He who is the God of peace,
who did bring up again,
Out from among the dead, the Lord
Iesus, who had been slain;
The Shepherd of the sheep, who is
Great and Magnificent,
In the blood of the Covenant
th'eternal Testament.
1 Pet. 1.18.
Forasmuch as ye know that ye
were not redeem'd and bought,
With things corruptible, as gold
and silver, which are nought,
From your vain conversation,
receiv'd by you as good,
From your fathers tradition,
but with the precious blood
Of Christ, as of a Lamb, without
blemish, and without spot;
Who verily was fore-ordain'd,
when yet the world was not,
But was for you in these last times
clearly discovered,
Who by Him do believe in God,
who rais'd Him from the dead.
And then He unto Him did give
glory and honour hie;
To this end, that your faith and hope
in God might placed be,
1 Pet. 5.4.
When the chief Shepherd shall appear,
ye shall into that day
Receive a crown of glory, which
shall never fade away.
Rev. 2.1.
These things saith He, who the sev'n stars
in his right hand doth hold,
Who walketh in the midst of the
sev'n candlesticks of gold.
8.
He who is first, and who is last,
ev'n He who dead hath been,
And is alive.
12.
Who hath the sword
two edged, sharp and keen.
ver. 18.
The Son of God, who hath eyes, which
most powerfully shine,
Like to a flame of fire, and His
feet like to brass most fine.
Re. 3.1.
He who hath the sev'n sp'rits of God,
and the sev'n stars.
Rev. 3.7.
And He
That holy is, and that is true,
He that hath Davids key,
He that doth open, and no man
there is that shutts; and when
He shutteth, no man openeth,
ver. 14.
He who is the Amen,
Who is the witness, the faithfull,
the true and trustie one,
The beginning, who beeing gave
to Gods creation.
Rev. 5.5.
One of the elders saith to me,
weep not: Behold and see,
The Lion of Iehudahs tribe,
the root of David, He
Prevailed hath to open up
the book, and to untie
And unloose the sev'n seals thereof.
And then behold did I,
And lo, in the midst of the throne,
and of the four beasts, and
In the midst of the Presbyters,
a Lamb as slain did stand,
Having sev'n horns, and sev'n eyes, which
are the sev'n sp'rits of God:
Which by Commission are sent forth,
to all the earth abroad;
And He approached, and the book
out of His right hand took
Who sits upon the throne; and when
He taken had the book,
The four beasts, and the twenty four
Presbyters down did fall
Before the Lamb, each had their harps,
Vials of gold withall
With incense odoriferous
replenished, which be
The prayers of the Saints; and sing
a new song cheerfullie,
Saying, Thou worthy art to take
the book, and make it plain,
In opening the seals thereof,
because thou hast been slain,
And by thy blood thou hast to God
redeemed us each one,
Out of each kindred, tribe, and tongue,
people and nation;
And hast made us unto our God,
kings and priests; and we shall
Reign on the earth. And I he held,
and I did hear withall
The voice of Angels many one
surrounding the throne, and
The beasts, and elders: the number
of them was, ten thousand
Times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands; saying again
With a loud great voice, Worthy is
the Lamb that hath been slain
To receive power, riches, strength,
wisdom, honour, glorie,
And blessing: And each creature which
is in the heaven hie,
And in the earth, and under earth,
and such in sea as be,
And all that are in them I heard,
saying harmoniouslie,
Blessing, honour, glory and pow'r,
to Him ascribed be,
That sitteth on the throne, and to
the Lamb eternallie.
And the four beasts did say, Amen.
And th'elders twenty four
Fell down, and Him who ever lives
did worship and adore.
Rev. 8.3.
Another Angel came and stood
before the altar, he
A golden censer had, to him
much incense, yea many
Incenses given were, that He
should by donation
Add these odours unto the pray'rs
of all the Saints, upon
The golden altar, which is plac'd
before the throne of grace;
And the smoke of the incense, which
in the most holy place
Came with the prayers of the Saints,
ascended up apace
Out of the Angels hand, before
the God of grace and peace.
Rev. 19.11.
I saw heav'n open'd, and behold,
a white horse came in view;
And he that sat upon him was
called faithfull and true:
And He in righteousness doth Iudge,
and makes war, as a flame
Of fire his eyes, and on his head
crowns many, and a Name
He written had, which none (Himself
excepted) understood,
And He was with a vesture cloth'd,
which dipped was in blood.
And His Name's call'd, The WORD of GOD.
And heav'ns armies that shine
Him follow'd on white horses, cloath'd
in white clean linen fine.
And out of his mouth go eth forth
a sharp and piercing sword,
That He should smite the Nations
with it, that's with his word.
And He shal feed and als rule them
ev'n with an iron rod;
He treads the wine-press of the fierce
wrath of Almighty GOD.
He hath a Name pre-eminent,
that's written in these words
On His vesture, and on His thigh,
KJNG of KINGS, LORD of LORDS:
Rev. 22.13.
I'm Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end,
The first and last, of whom all things
are, to whom all things tend.
26.
I Iesus have mine Angel sent
forth unto you, that He
Into the churches, might these things
witness and testifie▪
I am the root of David, and
Davids kindly off-spring,
I am the star, the bright clear star,
the star of the morning.
To th'holy, holy, holy Lord,
one God, in Trinitie
Of Persons, and Three Persons in
one God in Unitie.
Glory unto the Father be,
glory be to the Son,
Glory be to the holy Ghost:
blest three in essence one.
2 Cor. 13:24.
The Grace of the Lord Iesus Christ,
the Love of God, and the
Communion of the holy Ghost,
with you all ever be.
