For to obey, as Eve did lay I tell you all, ye earthly Gods, 3/ He well does know, and so does go, And Cowards he would make of you, For now I tell you Satan's frame, The Bulk of Mankind The Bulk in him doth stand an undu Satans That's of Mankind, you all may find, The reigning power that is in man, And this he gain'd ye simple men, And by that bed he must be slain, What he gain'd first, from Woman burst, And so he'll now appear! He'll place there Witchcraft at the last, The Bride they'd murder here: She should not come, to Christ be't known, By witchcraft would they cry; To have the SAVIOUR all their own, And death and hell to die. No, we'll keep up our every hope, That we had got before; His blood to wash away our stains, We do not want e'er more, That he hath power for to bewitch, And make the Bride to die:- And from the Jews, I this shall clear, 79 "With all her Lovers to compare, They'll judge the Bible to be true, And see your Saviour how HE's plac'd, My Grandeur here, when I appear, And down the root shall fall; Not all his witchcraft now shall do, For I shall conquer hell: This very way, now I do say, That I did first design: The Woman shall your Helpmate be → I'll further tell My Mind : It is not one to ME'tis known, For I'AM a David here; And many Brides are now My own, Alike with her to swear: But now the First from Saul did burst, For there the Bride did come, And David's Crown that way was found, And Saul's was overthrown. So now the Saul, I tell you all, In Satan he does stand; · 19 But now within thou dost begin, I tell thee no, it is not so, Tho' all from Shadows came.— The Shadows first from satan burst, Then there the daughter thou must stand Because that there hell did appear, Then now see clear, the shadow here, A Child of his must come; Joanna uniu the fall To give their hand to David here, And slay their father's throne; How David's life were then preserv'd, And from the Shadow all must see, But here within thou dost begin, In Jealousy to burst; And from this Fable thou dost see, Thou art unequall'd plac'd ;— Not for to Love thou here dost prove, For David's heart did go, And other women better lov'd, So misery and jealousy, Have work'd thy passions high- 81 Thy love's so great, without deceit, And shalt thou see that misery, So cold to thine! No, I'll resign, When I at first came to mankind, To wed with me I now tell thee, But now see clear, the mystery there, The Ark of GOD in all to clear, The Brides that I have got before, What fool say they, must Christ now be And in their hearts they Me despise, If † vile I do appear; Then now much viler I will be, And come to Noah here For like his love Mine now shall prove, Thy Jealousy did burst; Like Saul's Daughter for to appear, For him to dance before the Ark, But viler there he would appear, He told her at that time And now the mysteries I shall clear, A David here I did appear, I told them at the first, His Root and Offspring then I were; 6th Chap. 2nd Book of Samuel through L But then see clear My Brides were there, My Humbleness they could not bear, Till other Brides were gain'd by Me, So first from them, the Jews did come, Because My ways they did despi sø, And now the same they mock My Name To be the life of them : Then now within thou dost begin, With Saul's Daughter I then did come, And thou within did'st tremble then→→→→→ And all may tremble too, That say My Ways they do despise, Bring all before thy view; For viler there he did appear, To tell her he would be;- And that they all shall see; I tell them lower at the Last, And humbly now I'AM come to thee, And so to all, I now do call, Brothers and Sisters here; My mother too, before My View, My Love do so appear; Then surely I who dwell'th on High, Do humbly now become; |
