ROCKES IMPROVED . Comprising certaine Poeticall Meditations , extracted from the contemplation of the Nature and Qualities of Rockes ; a Barren and Harsh Soyle , yet a Fruitfull and Delightfull Subject of Meditation . THE PROEME . WHen from the lofty * Castle I espie The ragged Rocks , which round about it lye ; My Working thoughts begin from thence to raise Some a Meditations , to their Makers Praise , And mine own Profit : which my heart may warm , Yea mount to Heaven , and vaine fancies charm . Meditations of the first Ranke , Parallelling Christ and Rockes together . ANd first , the Rockes doe lively represent A complete Image , full of sweete content , Of Christ our Rocke ; sith that both They and He In Name and Nature fitly doe agree . Are they cal'd Rockes ? So he in sacred Writ A b Rocke is stil'd , in these regards most fit . 1. The Stony Rockes no other Father know But God who made them , from whose c word they flow So Christ ( both God and Man ) no Father knowes But d God eternall ; from whose Loines he flowes By such a e Generation as exceedes Mens shallow Thoughts , and in them wonder breeds . 2. Rockes are the f firmest ground whereon to lay , And found such buildings as shall not decay . But last and stand in spite of Floods , Stormes , wind , Which may beate on them , yet no entrance finde , So g Christ's the onely Rocke , the tryed stone On which the Church is built : On Him alone Our Soules so safe , fast , firmely , founded lye , That they shall stand for all eternity Unshaken , undemolisht , maugre all The h Stormes , Flands , Winds , that on them beat & fall Through Men or Devils Malice : Happie they Who on this firme Rocke , all their buildings lay . 3. Rockes yeeld the sweetest i Honey , Men to feede : The k sweetest honey comforts , Joyes proceede From Christour Rock , Mens drooping souls to cheare And sweeten all sowre Crosses which they heare . 4. All precious Stones , and Jewels Rocks doe breed : All Gemmes and Pearles of Grace from l Christ proceed The first , our Bodies decke , but for a space ; The last , our m Souls , with an eternall Gra●e . The first , in Mans eyes are a lovely sight ; The last in Gods eyes makes us shine most bright . O let us then , these Jewels onely prise , Which make us n comely in Gods sacred eyes . 5. The richest Mines of Silver , Gold , Tin , Lead , Brasse , Copper , in the wombes of o Rockes are bred : Whence not digg'd out with pains , they uselesse lie And none are better'd , or enricht thereby . Thus all the Mines , and Treasures of Gods Grace Are p hid in Christ , as in their proper place . Yet none doe happie , rich , or wealthy grow By these hidde Treasures , though they overflow ; But those who take much q paines to dig them thence With Prayers , Teares , Faith , Hope , and Patience . O let us then be ever drawing Oare Out of our Rock Christ , in whom there 's such store Of richest golden Mines , that all r who will May there their Soules , and Bagges for ever fill . 6. The purest , best , and pleasantst waters spring Out of s Rockes sides ; which sweete refreshment bring To Man and Beast , whose Thirst they quench and stay , Their bodies bathe , and wash their filth away . Thus from our Rocke Christ , and his pierced side , Such pearelesse Streames of t Blood and Water glide , ( To save , bathe , clense , refresh all broken Hearts , And quench hell flames , with Sathans , fiery Darts : ) As farre surpasse the purest Streames that flow , From all the Rockes , or Fountaines here below . And now ( me thinks ) v the Rock in wildernesse Whence streames of waters gushed to redresse , And quench the Peoples Thirst , when Moses Rod It smote , and pierced by command from God . ( Yea every Rock whence Cristall waters spring ) A lively x Picture was , and is to bring Our Rocke Christ to our Mindes , and to present Him to our eyes , and Hearts with great content : From whose pierc'd Hands and side with Nayles and Speare , Whole y Streames of precious Blood , and waters cleare Did sweetely flow , Gods wrath to quench , allay , His peoples Thirst , and wash their sinnes away . We neede not then a Crucitixe , to bring Christ to our Mindes , sith every Rocke and Spring That flowes from thence , doth in more z lively wife Present Christ and his Passion to our Eyes ; Let Papists then behold their painted stickes ; Each Rocke to me shall be a Crucifixe , As a God hath made it : and shall teach me more , Than all the Pictures of the Roman Whore ; Which are meere b Idoll , heathenish vanities , And c teach nought else , but Errors , Sinnes , and Lies . 7. Rock●s yeeld a pleasant d shade against the Heate , The scorching Sun and Storms that on Men beate ; Which sweete Refreshment to the weary brings , And cooles them more than any limpid Springs . Christ our Rocke is a sweete refreshing e shade Against all Heates that scorch , all sinnes that lad● . His Saints ; whose weary Sinne-burnt Soules can gaine No f rest but in his shade , which ends their paine ; Yea fills them with such g Peace , Ioy , Chearefulnesse , That they an Heaven here on Earth possess● . O let us still abide in this blest shade , Where-with our soules are eas'd , and happy made . 8. The Holes and Clifts in Rockes to which Men h flye In times of Danger , for Security ; Paint out the Holes , Clifts , wounds in Christs pierc'd i side Feete , Hands , wherein our Soules may safely hide Themselves against all stormes that D●●●● , Hell , World , flesh , or Sinne can raise up , them to quell . O let us to these blessed Holes , Clifts flye For Shelter , and in them both live and dye . Yea let each Hole and Clift which we espie In Rocks , present Christs wounds , Holes , to our Eye , And so imprint them in our Hearts and Minde , That they may still sweete Solace in them finde . 9. Rockes 〈…〉 k w●are or waste , but last and know N●●hing●s , while Things , Seas still ebbe , and flow About them . So our Rocke Christ lasts for aye Without ●ll Change , both l yesterday , today , And still the s●●● for all eternitie , When all things else decay , waxe , old and dye . Friends , P●●●nts , Kindred , G●●ds , Lands , Cities , States , Kings , Kingdomes , yet the world , have m all their Fates , Falls , Chang●● , Periods ; and doe passe away ; Whiles Christ our Rocke stands same at the n same stay . No change , ●g● o death can on him s●●●e , or lite , He still ●ontinues in the selfe-same plight , O let us then make Him ●ur onely p stay , Friend , Tr●●sure , Portion , who thus lasts for aye , Then when all Friends , Helpes , Stayes , Hopes else faile , He Alon● q more than all these to us will be . Oh prize Him most who doth all else excell , And still remaines when they bid us farewell . 10. Rockes are to Men the r strongest , safest Fence , F●rt , R●fuge in all Dangers : and from hence Most Castles , Townes , Forts on them setled ar , Which guard whole Kingdomes , both in Peace and war ; To these men in all places us● to flye F●r ayde and shelter in extremitie , And is not Christ our Rocke , the strongest Mound , The safest s refuge of his Saints ? who found Their Forts , strength , fafty upon Him , and flye To him alone in all their Miserie ? Where they in safty live , and dare defie Both Men and Devils with securitie . O let us then on Him alone repose Our Soules , who will t protect them from all foes . 11. Doves , Eagles , Conies , Fish in v Rockes doe breed , Build , dwell and hide themselves : Christs chosen seede In x Him alone breed , build , dwell , live , and ●ide From all such Perills as shall them betide . Let this their wisedome teach all others grace In this Rock Christ , their Strength , Nests , Homes to place . 12. Rockes have no outward y forme nor comeliness . To make them lovely . z Scripture is expresse That Christ our Rocke had none , whence most a despise Him whiles they view Him but with carnall Eyes . And yet as Rockes , though ragged , vile and bare In outward forme , containe within them rare And precious Jewels , Stones , Mines , of all Kinds ; So though our Rocke , Christ , unto carnall Minds In outward shew seemes base ; yet in Him lye The b richest Treasures , Mines , Gems , hid from eye : O judge not then by c outside , since corse skinne And rags oft times have Treasures , Pearles d within , Whiles guilded Outsides ( like a e pa●●ted Grave ) Nought else but Dust , Drosse , Dung , within them have . 13. Rockes fence the Land against the raging Seas , Which else would swallow it with speed , and ease . So f Christ defends his Church and feeble Sheepe , Gainst Deviils , Tyrants , Wolves ; who else would sweepe Them cleane away , and speedily devoure , If not pr●t●cted by his Mighty Power . O give Him then the praise of this sweete Grace Who thus preserves us safe in every place . 14. Rockes oft times Harbours make for Ships to ride In safty both from Pirats , Stormes , winds , Tide . So Christ our Rocke , an g Harbour is to all , Who flye to Him , and for helpe on him call In all their Troubles ; where they may repose Themselves in safty , maugre Stormes , or Foes . 15. Rockes through the world neare hand dispersed lie For Men to h flye too , in extremitie . Christ in i all places is still neare at Band , A Rocke to shield , and guard his chosen Band , In all their Dangers , and perplexities , Thrice happy he who in him fenced lies . 16. God well accepted in most gratefull wise , And by some wonder grac'd the Sacrifice Which holy Men upon bare k Rockes did lay , And offer to him ; not on Altars gay : Thus God those Praises , Almes , Teares , Prayers , Cryes , ( A Christians best and onely l Sacrifice ) Doth most regard , and them alone approve Which laid on m Christ our Rocke , doe from Him move , And mount to Heaven n sweetned with the fume Of his rich Odors , which their stincke consume . 17. Altars of old were built on o Rockes ; to shew That we no p Altar else but Christ should know ; And that all Altars , Offerings must proceede From Him , or else they le stand us in no steede . Those Altars then are built but on the q Sand , And sure to fall , which on Christ doe not stand ; As none doe now , sith r Christs death overthrew All Altars but Himselfe , both old and new . 18. No lasie , fearefull Persons can ascend Steepe Craggie s Rockes , but onely those who bend Their Mindes , Force , Might thereto , who hardly get Vpon them but with earnest paine and sweat , Nay falls , oft-times , and Bruises : so all those Who t sl●athfull are , with Christ can never close : A Rock so Narrow , craggie , steep , Sublime That , none , with Ease , with Paines , v few can Him Climbe , Meeting with x many Rubbes , Falls , Bruises , ere They climbe upon Him , and a building reare . O then let all who thinke this Rocke to mount Of Paines , Sweat , Fals , Rubs , crosses , make y account . And then addresse themselves with z all their might Vnto this worke , which will their paines requite . 19. Rockes are too Hard , on which to sleepe secure : And they must a watch , not sleepe whom Christ keepes sure . Those who intend on this Rocke safe to lye , Must b Shake off sleepe , with all security : Watching and c praying alwayes night and day , Lest world , flesh , Devill them surprize and slay . 20. Rockes in , or neere the Seas , and waters are ; And doe their heads , most part d above them beare : So Christ , our Rocke , on earth did oft reside Neare to the Sea ; yea , on it , walke and ride : Lifting his Head above the proudest Seas , And calming all their raging waves with ease : To shew that He was e Supreme Lord of all The world , when Seas and floods before Him fall ; Yea , prove a footestoole for his feete to tread , And g walke upon in safty , without dread . All other Rockes in waters sincke , Christ Sailes , Swimmes , walkes upon , and over them prevailes . 21. Most , ragged Rockes contemne , neglect , forsake , Vntill some h Dangers force them to betake Themselves unto them for securitie , And then they prayse , and highly magnifie Those Rockes they held before in such disgrace , As the most strong , sweete , best , and safest place . So , most this Rocke Christ quite i neglect , despise , Desert , abandon till k extremities Enforce them to Him , to protect and free . Them from the Evills which they feare and flee . And then no place so sweete , safe , delicate As this our Rocke before left desolate . But yet as those who unto Rockes doe flye , Not out of love , but meere necessity , l For sake them quite , where as their Dangers end ; So , such whom Feares , or Perills force , and send ( Not sincere love ) to Christ our Rocke , l away Depart from Him , and will no longer stay , When as their Dangers , Troubles , Feares are gone , And most unkindly leave Him all alone . Hence may all Popelings Learne , that Multitude , Christs , or his Churches truth doth m ill conclude . 22. Rockes humble are , and never upwards tend , Mount , swell , but n downe their Heads and Motions bend . So Christ our Rocke , did o humble and abase Himselfe , but never sought high state or Place ; Moving from Heaven downe to Earth below , To quench all Pride , and make men humble grow . Who then dares swell with Pride , or Haughtinesse When Christ , Himselfe did thus so low depresse ; Though p King of Kings , and Lord of Lords , most High , Nay second Person in the Deity ? 23. High Rocks a pleasant q Prospect yeeld , whence Men Sea , Land , nay Heaven may the better Ken. And with delight see farther , and farre more Than they on lower ground beheld before . Thus men high mounted on our Rock , Christ , view From thence , with most delight , such r pleasant , new And glorious Sights of God , and things above As rap their soules , and make them sicke of Love . Thence they behold all Earthly things below With other Eyes , and both discerne and know Them to be vile , base s Drosse , meere vanity ; And very small when view'd thus from on high . 24. When t Serpents upon Rockes doe creepe or glide They leave no tract , way , steps , that can be spide . When that old Serpent Satan crept upon Our Rocke Christ , with his strong Temptation , He v nought prevailed , and no print , step , trace , Of him or his Assaults on Him tooke place . 25. When Christ our Rocke for forty dayes and nights Hid fasted , then the Devill Him incites To x turne stones into Bread , Himselfe to feede ; Which He denide , though then he bread did neede : Yet of his tender Mercy to Mankinde , And their poore soules , which are with hunger pinde , He dayly turnes a Rocke ( Himselfe ) to y Bread Of life , wherewith their hungry Soules are fed . Yea , rather than his chosen , Bread shall neede , The Rockes and Stones their Soules shall fat and feede , Nay feast with those sweete wafers , which their Minde , By z Meditations doth within them finde . Let then our Hearts be right , we neede not feare A a want of Bread , Food , them to feede , feast , cheare , Since every Rocke and Ston's a Magazine To feede , store , feast them still with Bread Divine . 26. When God himselfe of his abundant Grace Shew'd forth his glorious Presence , and blest Face To Moses and Elias ; he them plac'd In b Clifts or Caves of Rockes , and there them grac'd With this grand Honour , Him to view . When we Gods sweetest c Face and Presence long to see , Our Soules to ravish ; we must stand , and hide Within the Clifts of our Rock , Christs peirc'd side ( Which these Rockes doe but d figure , ) the sole place Wherein we may with Comfort view Gods face . O let our Soules in these Clifts dwell and stay , Where God his e Face and presence doth display , In such sweete manner , and such lively sort , As will our Soules with Love and Joy transport . 27. Rough ragged Rockes and Stones , cause Men to f fall And stumble on them ; yea , oft times withall , Themselves to bruise , maime , breake , and hurt so sore , That they expire therewith , and rise no more ; Thus Christ becomes to many a wicked one A g Rocke effensive , and a stumbling stone Who on Him stumble , slip , and headlong fall , And dash themselves in pieces therewithall . O then beware how we against Him hit Spurne , stumble , who to () shivers will us split . 28. Some h Rockes of flint yeeld softest oyle , to swage , And supple hardest swellings , when they rage . Heale wounds , and Ulcers ; supplest Oyles of Grace , Which i soften hard Hearts in a little space ; k Asswage our Paine , our Aches , wounds , sores cure , Proceede from Christ , a Rocke most firme and sure . Lord give us store of this soft Oyle , that we Our Hearts made soft , our wounds quite heal'd may see . 29. The Mines and Treasures which in Rockes hid lye , l Exceede Mans search and full discovery . The Sacred hidden Treasures which doe dwell In Christ our Rocke , are so m unsearchable ; Vast , boundlesse , endlesse , that they farre exceede Saints largest thoughts and in them wonder breede . O let us still contemplate more and more The n height , depth , length , breadth , of this searchlesse store . To fill our Soules with sweetest joyes , and make Them for the Love of these , all else forsake . 30. Rockes are most Patient and doe not o complaine Cry , stir , though Tempests , Seas , Winds , Axes , Rain , Nay Sledges beat upon them , and them bruise , Break , hew , cleave , pierce , cut , lance , & much misuse . So Christ our Rocke , endured p patiently , His Crosse , wrongs , suffrings , Death without all cry , Complainte , resistance ; like a Sheepe before Her shearer , which doth neuer bleate , stir , roare . O let all Christians now at last from q hence Learne to beare crosses with like Patience . 31. The r Floods , windes , stormes against the Rockes oft beate ; They still exposed are to Cold , or Heate : Sometimes the Seas surround & drown them quite And oft the yee and snow them hide from sight : So Christ on earth s assaulted was with windes ; Floodes , Tempests , Heate , Cold , Crosses of all Kindes , Which for a time did hide , immerge , at last , Quite over-whelme Him , till the Storme was past . What Christian then can thinke himselfe t secure From Stormes , Winds , Floods , sith Christ did them endure ? 32. When Christ gave up the Ghost , the ( v Rockes did rent , The Death of this cheefe Rocke for to lament : Yea , to beare witnesse of his Deity , Who though he dy'd , made x Rockes in pi●●es flye . That Heart is harder , worse than Rock or Stone , Which Christs Death cannot rent , nor cause to moane . Yea every y Rockie Heart must melt , 〈◊〉 , fall In pieces , when Christ shall it shake , smite , call By his Almighty Hand , or voyce which make The hardest z Rockes and Hearts to melt , split , shake . Lord let the Thoughts of thy Death quite relent Our Rockie Hearts , and move them to repent . 33. Rockes a seldome rot , corrupt , or putrifie : b Christ rotted not , whilst he in Grave did lye ; That so he might our rotten Corps thence c raise Free from corruption , Him for aye to prayse . O feare not then , though we returne to dust , Christ at the last d will scoure off all our Rust , Drosse , and Corruption ; and our Corps restore To such a State , that it shall dye no more ; But live in endlesse Glory , and excell The e shining Rayes , which in Starres , Moone , Sunne , dwell . 34. Rockes though they drowned be , appeare againe , And fixed in their Places still remaine : So Christ , though Dead , and layd in Grave , arose Againe the f third day , yea to Heav'n up goes , Above the reach of Floodes ; where he on high Hath fixt his Throne for all g Eternity . Here shall this ever-living raised Rocke For ever h reigne amidst his chosen Flocke . 35. Our Rocke Christ being dead entombed lay Within a i Rocke ; where He grim death did slay . We , Dust and Earth , when dead , to k them returne : But our dead Rocke , a Rocke had for his Vrne , Which Him receiv'd , and harbor'd even when , He Slaine , and quite l rejected was by Men . O Rockes of Flesh , and Bowels , which first m rent Themselves , His bloody Passion to Lament ! And then Him in their Bosomes lodge , and plac'd , When men Him slew , forsook , and most disgrac'd ! O men ( more n hard than any Rocke , Flint , Stone , Who never , pitty , feele , regard , bemoane Christs cruell Death and Passion ; nor receive Him , when the Rocks rent , and Him House-roome give ! O let us learne from hence , how hard , unkinde , Ingrate we are to Him , who still shall o finde More pitty , harbor , love , from Rockes than we , Vntill our Hearts by Grace relented be . And let this Thought our Hearts of Rocke now thaw , And Floods of bitter Teares out from them draw . 36. In fine ; when we consider that p Christ lay Intombed in a Rocke ; yet the third day Rose up from thence : it makes each Hole and Cave We see in Rockes , no other but a Grave : And points us out the q Place where we must lye Inter'd , ere long , and fits us still to r dye ; Which done , it then revives our soules againe With this sweet Thought , that we s shal not remaine In Gr●ve for ever ; since our Saviour rose From thence againe , to rayse us , and all those Who are his Members , from the Dust , to t raigne In endlesse Blisse , where he doth now remaine . Let these sweete Speculations ever cheare Our drooping Soules , and banish all their Feare . Thus Barren Rockes unto a pious Minde May fruitfull prove , it it v Christ in them finde ; When they in Name and Nature thus expresse Unto the life , with Fruite and Pleasantnesse ; Farre better than all Pictures which the Blinde , Dull Papists make , to bring them to their Minde , As if His x Word , Workes , Sacraments , yea , y Man The truest , best Idaea that we can Have of Him ) with each Rocke , Stone they espie Were not enough to shew him to their eye , Without those Idols , which have thrust aside These better Pictures , and Christ from them hide . 38. Blessed Lord Jesus who the z only Rocke , And Refuge art of thine Elected Flocke , Teach us thus sweetely to behold , and view Thee in each Rocke we see ; for to renue , Melt , change , delight , rejoyce our Hearts , & make Them out of love to Thee , all else a forsake : Still b living , cleaving , dying unto Thee The onely Rocke , where they full safe shall be . Meditations of the second Kinde , comparing Rockes and Sinnes together . AGaine , Me thinkes , the Rockes doe typifie , the nature of those Sinnes which in us lye . 1. For first , all Rockes exceeding c Heavie are , To those who them upon their shoulders beare : Yet Light , not pondrous to their proper place : So , to all Hearts renu'd with saving Grace All sinnes more d heavie than Rockes are , and seeme ; Though stony hearts them light and easie deeme . e 2. Rockes presse and bruise Them sore on whom they lye , And for meere anguish make them Roare and Cry . Sinnes doe fo too ; when God doth once awake Mens soules , their Pressure makes them f roare and quake . O then beware of Sinnes , which g bruise , oppresse Our soules , and worke nought else but their distresse . Rockes sinke , and bend still h downe wards : Sins doe so , Tending to i Hell the Place to which they goe : Each day they sinke men lower than they were , Till by degrees they them to Hell downe-beare . Oh then betimes shake off these k weights , which presse And sinke our Soules to Hell , without redresse . 4. Rocks l cold , hard , dead and senselesse are ; m Sins make All such , within whose Hearts they Lodgings take : Beware then how such Guests we entertaine , By which our Soules are deaded , hurt and Slaine . 5. Rockes make men oft to stumble , slip , and fall ; And break their Bones , Limbs , Neckes , oft times withall : Sinnes o doe the like . If then we would be free From Slips and Break-neck-falls , we must them flee . 6. Rockes are p deformed , horrid , barren , vile ; And so are q sinnes , with all whom they defile . These make Men ugly , filthy , Steril , base , And all their Glory , Beauty quite deface ; Yea , change them into r Monsters , wolves , dogs , swine ; Nay s Fiends incarnate . O then Sinnes decline ! 7. Where t Rockes once fixe their Stations , they remaine ; And none but God can move them thence againe : So Sins once setled in Mens Hearts , there v stand East ●entred , till Gods owne Almighty hand Expell them thence . O then let no Sinnes lye Upon our Soules , but out them presently , Lest they should x settle ; for if once they rest Within them , they are hardly dispossest . 8. Rockes are y exceeding hard to batter , breake , Mine , pierce , demolish . So let all Men speake , And they must say , that z all Sinnes are so too , We ruine , breake them still with much adoe . He who doth thinke his Sinnes with ease to quell , Shall never tame , nor from him them expell . 9. Rockes make their Dwellers a fearelesse , and secure Of Foes or Perils , and to thinke all sure : Sinnes b doe the like to those that in them dwell ; Who feare no dangers till they sinke to bell . O then beware lest Sinnes make us secure . No State's so ill , as that which seemes most sure ! 10. All Rockes are c blushlesse , shamelesse , impudent ; Sinnes are so too , nought can then daunt , relent . And by degrees Mens Hearts , Browes they so d steele That they no Sinne , Blush , shame , disgrace can feele . Take ●eede then lest Sinne , first , us shamelesse make , Then Senselesse , Gracelesse , fit for Hells dread Lake . 11. Rocks , stones e good grounds oft spoyle , and quite deface : So f sinnes good men deprave , marre sham● , disgrace . 12. Rockes , Stones in fertile Soiles them g barren make ; And nought will spring , or grow there , till men take Them thence : So Rockes and Stones of Sinne decay , And make Men h fruitlesse till remov'd away . No fruites of Grace will ever grow , or sprout Up in them , till these Stones be digged out . 13. Great Rockes i apparent are to each Mans eye , And all both farre and neare may them espie . Great Sinnes in all , in k Great men specially , Themselves to all both farre and neare descry ; Whence l Scripture faith , they are on Rockes Tops set , And doe in m others worlds of Sinnes beget . Let all , but Great ones chiefely , all Sinnes flye ; Which though kept close , will yet n themselves descry . 14. Wilde o Goates in Rockes feede , live , and much delight : So , wicked Men , stil'd p Goates both day and night In q sinnes and lusts doe wallow , live and joy ; Though they their soules at last will quite destroy ▪ O Madnesse ! thus in Sinnes to take delight ; Which against God , Soule , Body , alwayes r fight . 15. The Steepe high Rockes , and Forts which on them stand Are never s seal'd , or won but by strong hand ; Much Paines , Long Seige , or Famine , which doe pine , Or starve their Men , and cause them to resigne . The steepe , high , craggie Rockes and Forts of sin Within us , none can ever t S●ale , force , win , But by strong hand , much cost , paines , sweate , strife , care , Long Seige , and Fasts , by which they starved are , And forc'd at last for very want to yeeld , Where else they would have made us leave the field . It s then no easie thing to conquer Sinne : They must bestir them who its Forts would winne . 16. Rockes , v wrecke , sinke , breake Ships , Boates : So Sins oft x split And drowne those Soules which on them dash or hit ; Not in Sea-waters , but in Lakes of fire , Where they shall ever feele Gods scorching Ire . 17. Instruct us then , O Christ , our Rocke , to shun All Sinnes as Rockes , and not on them to run , For feare of ruine , and still give us Grace To flye these Rockes of Sinne in every place , With greater care than y Sea-men do● avoyde Those noted Rockes , which thousands have destroyd ; Not once presuming to approach or hit Against such Rockes , as others Soules have split . And since sunke Rockes of z secret Sinnes that lye Hid in our Hearts , and a worldly ●●●●ity , Mirth , Pastimes , Pleasures , ( whe●e we le●st suspect , Or feare a danger ) most soules still have wre●kt ; Teach us these Rocks to see , and then to flye With chiefest care , and them not to come nigh . Yea , sith no Sea so fraught with Rockes can be , As this whereon our Soules sayle towards Thee : O Shield us from these Rocks by thy great Power , Which else will Split and Sinke us every houre : That so we may at last arive secure In Heaven's blest Port , where Joyes for aye endure . Meditations of the third Sort , suiting Rockes , and Gods Elect together . BEsides , these Rockes present before our Eyes The State of Gods Elect , in lively wise . 1. Rockes fixed are , not tossed to and fro , With every Winde , Storme , Tempest : Even so Gods Chosen Sheepe with c firme and stable Hearts Adhere to Him in all their Troubles , Smarts : No Stormes , Windes , Crosses , Changes can remove Them from his Word , Sonne , Spirit , Truth or Love : When d Troopes of others shrinke , and fall away , They cleave to him as to their onely Stay . 2. Rockes many e Winds , Stormes , Tempests undergoe : And doe not all the f Saints , whiles here , doe so ? 3. Rockes meekely beare and suffer Stormes that fall , And never fret , rage , or repine at all : Gods g Saints without all murmur , fret , or cry Their Crosses , Losses beare most quietly ; Submitting unto God , whose Providence All bitter Potions doth to them dispense . 4. All men on h Rockes may safely build and rest : And of all trusty friends , the Saints are best . On i whom we may all times with trust relye , And to them in all Dangers safely flye . 5. Rockes k bare and ragged are : The Saints oft l Poore , In outward State ; but seldome begge at doore . 6. Yet though Rockes Outsides be but base and rude , They richest Mines within their wombes include : So though Saints Outsides be but ragged , base , Within them m hidden lye gold-Mines of Grace . 7. Stone● digged out of Rockes and hewed square The n fairest Temples , Buildings make that are . So Gods Elect , though vile whiles that they lye In Natures Quarries in deformitie ; Yet hew'de out thence , squar'd , polisht by Gods Grace , And layd in order in their proper Place , Become o rich Temples wherein God doth dwell , And doe all other structures farre excell , In worth , and glory : Lord thus square , and lay Us in these Sacred walls , which last for aye . 8. Rockes for the most part lowly are and meeke : The p Saints are so , and no high places seeke ; In this vaine world ; where they dejected lye Till God advance them to the Starrie skie . 9. Rockes Kingdomes , Islands guard and fortifie Gainst raging Seas , Floods , Stormes , and Enemie : q Saints holy Lives , and frequent Prayers ar States surest Guards ; Forts , both in Peace and war ; These Shield-off Judgements , Foes , Plagues , yea Gods Ire , Which else would wast , and scorch them worse than Fire . 10. Rockes from their Sides send forth r Springs sweete and pure , Mens Thirst to quench , their wounds and sores to cure : And who but Christ and Saints can s Comfort bring To Sinne-sicke Soules , and those who feele the Sting Gripes , Torments , Flames of Hell and Conscience ? Or binde up broken , hearts , and chase from thence All feares and horrid Terrors ? Which an Hell On Earth oft make in those wherein they dwell ? Hence all such wounded Soules doe ever fly To t these for Comfort in extremity : Since no ungodly wretch can cheare , or ease A Sinne-sicke Soule , nor aking Heart appease . 11. Rockes most despised and neglected are , As worthlesse Creatures : Thus Gods Saints oft fare v Contem'd , abhor'd of Most , as vile and base , Though of Mankinde the onely Pearles , Starres , Grace . 12. Rockes hurt no Shippes , Boates , Men , but such as x hit Themselves against them ; and so breake or split : So Gods Elect doe never hurt , breake , quash Any , but those who y wilfully rune , dash , Bruise , breake themselves against them ; who must check And blame themselves , not them , for this their wreck . 13. God first ingrav'd his Sacred Lawes upon A Marble Rocke z a Table made of Stone ; Not brittle Glasse , soft Paper ; that they might Out last all time : God , still , his Lawes doth write On hardest Rockes ; Saints stable a Hearts , whereby They Time survive , and gaine eternity . The two first Stony Tables whereupon God stampt his Lawes , broke , lost were long agon : These harder Tables of Saints Hearts remaine , And in them Gods blest Lawes for aye retaine . Lord , I my heart a b Rocke have made : O carve Therein thy Lawes , from which it may not swarve And since it shall out-dure the firmest Rocke , O , this rich treasure ever in it locke ! Yea , make each Saints Stone-Heart the Treasury Of thy sweete Lawes , for all eternity . 14. Rockes in most places thinly scatred are ; Saints in all places are most c thinne and rare . d Dispersed here and there , where hid they lye In secret Corners in obscurity ; Driven from Country , Lands , House , Home , by those Who for their e Goodnesse onely are their Foes . 15. Rockes burnt to f Lime , doe fasten , joyne , sement Stones in all Buildings , and them free from rent : Yea ; laid on barren Grounds where nought would spring , They make them fertile , and great Crops to bring : So Gods Elect , when melted by the Flame Of his sweete Spirit , g knit , unite the Frame And Stones of his Church here on Earth together , And keepe out Errours , Sects that would it sever : Yea , sent to barren Soiles where grew no Grace , They make them h fruitfull , and in better case . 16. Rockes cut and polisht , turne to richest Gems Become Kings Treasures , i crowne their Diadems . Saints squar'd and polisht from their drosse by Grace , Prove Gods rich k Jewels , in his Crowne have place . Lord so refine me that I may be set , A Stone , Pearle , Jewel in thy Coroner . Amidst those Saints which thou reput'st such Gems As farre excell , out-shine all Diadems . Sweete Jesus make me of thy Chosen Flocke , That I , like them , may be a blessed Rocke . Meditations of the fourth Classe , sampling Rockes , and Rockie Hearts , with ungodly Men , together . YEt more , me thinkes Rockes represent to all Mans Rockie Heart , and Nature , since the fall , In some Respects , wherein they well agree With Stony Hearts ; from which God make us free . 1. Rockes are exceeding l Shamelesse , Impudent , Nought will them daunt , or cause for to relents So men of Stony Hearts , have m Browes of S●●●●● , Faces of Rocke , which no blush , shame can feele . No shamefull Sinne , Convictions , or Disgrace Will daunt , or cause them once to hide the Face . It is their n glory to be voyd of shame , And vaunt of that which doth them most defame . 2. Rockes shew no mercy , but to o peeces mall , Breake , bruise , or hurt , all those on whom they fall . So men of Rockie hearts are p mercilesse , And breake , bruise , teare , crush , all they doe oppresse . No Cries , Parts , Vertues , Merits can asswage Their cruell Projects , nor divert their Rage . O let me rather fall into the Pawes Of q Beares or Lyons , than an hard Hearts James . 3. Rocks make those r Milstones which doe grinde , bruise , teare The Corne we use , to make us Bread , or Beere : So men of Rockie Hearts still serve to s grinde , Presse , bruise Gods Chosen , till they be refinde From all their Huskes of sinne , and made meete Food For Gods sweete Pallate , to their greatest Good . 4. Some Rockes burnt in the Fornace harder grow ; And nought but t St●ele , or Iron from them flow : Which serves to breake , hew , polish , fit , and square Rude Rockes and Stones , and Stately piles to reare : Gods fery Fornace Rockie Hearts makes more v Hard , and obdurate than they were before ; Yea all its scorching Heate the which they feele , Serves but to turne them into harder Steele , Or Iron ; for to breake , hew , polish , pare The Rockes and Stones which God layes in the rare And choisest Buildings of his Church : whose walls Are x built , not ras'd , with these hard Iron Malls . And Tooles of Steele , though they no y Part nor share Have in the Temples which they helpe to reare . 5. The most mischievous Instruments of war Wounds , Bloodshed , first from z Rockes extracted ar ; As Canons , Musquets , Bullets , Sword , Bills , Speares With other weapons , where with Man kills , teares , Torments , Maimes , Stabs his Brother in despite , As if he did in nought but Blood delight : So from Mens Stony a Hearts first flow and spring All Mischiefes , Murders , Warres , Sinnes , each ill thing : These were the Artists which did first invent Each bloody , murth'ring , warlike Instrument ; The Shops in which they forged were , the Armes That weild them still , & work a world of Harmes . O cursed Hearts of Rocke from whence doe flow All Evills , Mischiefes , woes we heare , see , know ! Lord free and ever keepe us from such Hearts , Which are the Cause of all our Sinnes , Ills , Smarts . 6. Rocker make those in them b carelesse , Proud , Secure From feare of Danger : Stony Hearts are sure To make all c such , in whom they a●e , and snare Them in great Mischieses ere they be aware . Rockes are d exceeding Hard ; and sooner broke Than squar'd or polisht with the Axes stroke : Mens Stony Hearts so hard and flinty are , That all Gods A●es , Judgements e cannot square Them to his Rules , nor cause them to amend , And sooner breake than rent , or make them bend . He who in hardest f Stones of old imprest His Sacred Lawes , upon a Rockie Brest Cannot ingrave them : Lord what Hearts of Flint Have Men , whereon thy Lawes can make no Print ! Nought but Childs blood these g Adamants can thur And square then to the Models if Gods Law 8. No heate of Sunne or Fornace Rockes will melt , But harden rather , and their Heat 's not felt : Gods h Sun-shine Mercies , and his sweetest Grace ; His fiery Fornace , and his frowning fa●e , Mens Rockie Hearts will neither warme , relent , Affect , melt , change , nor more them to repent . 9. Most Rock , 〈◊〉 l 〈◊〉 , yeelding nought for Back Or Belly , that Mankinde or Beasts doe lack : Mens k St●ni● Heart● as Barren : no good Thing , No Fruites of Grace , Faith , V●●●●● in it 〈◊〉 . 10. Thornes , Thistles , l Brambles , Weedes of Rocke of● grow ; All Stony Hearts with these , still m over-flow ; Fruitefull in nothing , but those 〈◊〉 of vice , And sinne , which barre them out of Paradise . 11. Rockes Deafe and Sencelesse are of good , and ill : Hard n Hearts are so , and neither can , doe , will , Gods Word , Law , Workes regard , Heare , understand ; Nor , feare his angry ; kisse , his soothing hand . 12. The fiereest Stormes , o Winds , Waves , on Rockes doe dash : Gods p Sorest Judgements Stonie Hearts doe lash : And though they seldome feele Gods stroke or Curse ; This nothing Mends , but q makes their Case farre worse . 13. The pleasant Showres , Drops , Dewes that on Rockes light . Make them not fruitfull , nor in better plight : But glide away forthwith , not sinking downe To make them Mellow , good , or sinne to drowne : So Rockie r Hearty , though they receive the raine , And frequent flowres of God , blest Word ; remaine Still Barren , Hard , and Sencelesse ; nought will stay That drops upon them , but all slides away That 's Good or Sacred ; onely Flouds of s sinne , Sinke downe with speede , and freely enter in . 14. None craggie t Rockes will Till , Plough , Plant , or Saw ; Their Labours lost who doe it , nought will grow . Obdurate Hearts few use to Plough or Till With Godly Precepts , Counsells ; sith they still v Neglect , deride , contemne them ; so at all The seede is lost which on the Rockes doth fall . 15. Rockes blunt , and hurt the edge of Tooles that smite , Or square them for good uses ; yea in spite Their Chips and Shivers dash against the Eyes , Face , Shins of those that hew them . Loe the guise Of Rockie Hearts , which x hurt and malice those Who checke their sinnes , and hate them as their Foes . Yea , let their Pastors in their Ministry But touch their Sores , into their Face they flye : So zealous are they for those Sinnes , which end In hell , when they will not Gods cause defend . O that our zeale for God were halfe so much As for our darling Crimes , when Men them touch : Then would we let them y strike , wound , lance , yea Slay Our dearest Sinnes ; and thanke , not them gaine-say . 16. Rockes Cold and Heavie are , and z never move Out of their Places ; nor mount up above Unlesse perforce ; and then they ever a bend Downe to the Center ; whence they did ascend So b Rockie Hearts are Cold , and lumpish still To all that good is ; prone to nought but Ill : No Love , Heate , zeale to God within them flame ; His Cause they 'le not stir in for Love , nor Shame : Their Thoughts , Minds , Cares are fixt on c things below , And never upwards Soare to view , mind , know The things above ; unlesse some d sodaine Feare Of Death , Hell , Danger up them scrue or reare Against their Wills : which past , to Earth they hie With greater poyse , and there still groveling lie . 17. Rockes e Dumbe and silent are : So Hearts of Stone For good Discourse have neither Tongue , nor Tone Sitting still f Mute like stones without voyce , sence , When any fall to godly Conference . 18. Rockes g bare and naked are ; whence all may spie Their Nakednesse , and grosse Deformitie . All Stony Hearts , are h naked , poore , and bare ; Their Barenesse , vilenesse , wants exposed are To all Mens view ; till Christs rich Robes of Grace Cloath or Adorne them , and these wants deface . 19. Rockes Livelesse are ; and Stony Hearts are i Dead ; No life of Grace was ever in them bred : Yea , all who now draw breath , must shortly k dye , ( Who knowes how soone ) and dead as Rockes shall lye . 20. Rockes till by force they broken be , and slit , l Hewd , polisht , for all Buildings are unfit : Thus Rockie Hearts till God them m rent , hew , square ; To build his House , Church , Temple , uselesse are . 21. Rockes make Men n fall and stumble , to their Paine And Hurt : That o Rockie Hearts doe thus , t is plaine ; Since all our Slips , Falls , Bruises , Sinnes proceede From Stony Hearts , which make us take no heede . 22. Rockes p Shipwracke those , who doe too neare them sayle ; And sunken Rockes to split Ships most prevaile : Thus Rockie Hearts unlesse we from them fly Will q wracke us all ; but yet especially When neither Felt , nor Seene : for then we run With full-saile on them , and are quite undone . 23. Rockes feele no Burthens , weights that on them lie ; So Rockie Hearts doe never r sigh , groane , cry Vnder the Weights and Burthens of their Crimes , ( Though s heavier than the Sands a thousand times ) And why ? because they never feele their poyse Till it them sinke to Hell , and quite destroyes . 24. Not all the Men on Earth , with all their Art Can make one Rock , or Stone ; much lesse an Heart ; But onely t God himselfe : yet Men alone Are the v Creators of all Hearts of Stone , Not God : O wonder , that Men should create Nought but Hard Rockie Hearts which God doth hate : Such Hearts can none else but Men , Fathers call , Which sinke still downewards , till to Hell they fall . 25. O then when ever we a Rocke shall see , Let these thoughts to our Mindes recalled be : Yea , ponder what Old x Rockie Hearts we have By Sinne and Nature : then New , soft Hearts crave , With fervent Prayers , Grones , Sighes , Teares ; so we Our Hearts of Rocke , to flesh transform'd shall see . And if we finde , feele , know by signes most sure Our hearts thus changed , and made soft , and pure ; Let us forever in Word , Deede , Life , Thought , Extoll and ( y ) praise Him who this Change hath wrought ; Keeping a narrow z watch both night and day , Over our cheating Hearts ; for feare lest the : Should by degrees freeze , or grow a hard againe , Yea turne to Rockes , and so for aye remaine . 26. Sweete Jesus b take our Stony Hearts away , And give us hearts of flesh , we humbly pray ; And of all other Plagues , from us avert This as the greatest , an obdurate Heart . And since of all our Parts Thou dost require , Seeke , prize our c Hearts most ; grant us we desire Such broken , contrite tender Hearts , as may Delight Thee most ; and never from Thee stray . Such Hearts Thou onely canst d create , not we ; Make our Hearts such ; then happy shall we be . Miscellanie Meditations of the fifth Kinde . TO winde up all ; Rockes to our Mindes present Some other usefull Thoughts , with great content . 1. When we behold some e Stones with Tooles and Barres Dig'd out of Rockes , and taken from the Quarres ; To build some Stately Church ; whiles others stay Still there , unwrought ; though quite as good as they : It mindes us of that common Rocke wherein Mankinde corrupted lay , through Adams Sinne : From whence God by f Election and meete Grace Culls out some Stones ( though few ) which he doth place Within his Churches Buildings ; where they lie Fast joyn'd to Christ , for all Eternitie : When as all others ( though as good as they And of the selfe same Rocke , Quar , Lumpe , and Clay : ) ●ye still unpolisht , in the rotten Masse , And State of Sinne , untill to Hell they passe ; Without Injustice , since Gods Grace is g free ; And none but for h some Sinne shall damned be . 2. When I consider that all i Tombestones , Urnes , And Tombes , where Man , * meere Dust , to Dust returnes ; Are broken pieces of some Rockes ; I then Behold my Tombe-stone , in each Rocke I ken : And say ; Loe here 's the lasting Monument Wherein my Body must ere long be pent , And shut Close Prisner , till the k Judgement day , When all its Rust and Bolts shall fall away . Which Thought digested , makes me still amend My Life ; and fits me alwayes for mine End . Let all revolve it oft within their Minde , And they shall Treasure , Honey in it finde . 3. When I behold some people dwell , live , lye In l Caves of Rockes ; I then thinke presently ; He who a Cottage wants his Head to Hide , Shall finde some Rocke , or Hole where to abide ; In which he may sleepe freer from feares , Foes , And Cares , than those whom Castles , Guards , inclose . What neede we care then here for House or Home , If these should faile , yet Rockes will give us Roome To Lodge and hide in : Here m Gods dearest Saints Have liv●d , and bid oft times without Complaints ; And beene more happie in these caved Stones Than greatest Monarchs in their royall Thrones . Repine not then though Clifts of Rocks should be Thine House or Home , sith there thou mayst be free , Safe , blessed , chearefull , and to God more nigh Than those who in the fairest Pallace lye . 4. The precious Jewels n Treasures , Stones which are Lockt up and bid in coursest Rockes , declare Gods dearest Saints and Jewels common Case , And State on Earth : who thrust out with disgrace From House and Home , enforced are to flye To o Cave● and Rocke● , where they imprisned lye : Whence driven out againe by bloody Foes ( Like Gold or Jewels out of Rockes ; ) they close And locke them up againe in p Prisons , Goales Or nastie Dungeons , amidst filth , dust , * Coles , The ●●mmon q C●●kets where these Gemmes , Pearles lye Vnti●l 〈◊〉 Fl●mes them into Ashe● frie . Ye●●●●rag● Noble S●ules , whiles thus you fare It 's a sure Signe you pe●relesse r J●wels are , And God ▪ Choyce Tre●●ure , since you under Locke , Thus lye , ●ike Gold , Gems in some Casket , Rocke : And that you shall be s surest kept of any , Because kept closest , and not seene of many . The choycest Things Men ever closest t Locke ▪ And Wolves runne loose , whiles God doth v fold his Flocke . 5. Rockes love to x shew , not hide their Nakednesse : Adam and Eve y blusht at their Naked Dresse When they beheld it , and did bide for shame , Till they with Coates of Figge-leaves vail'd the same . Those wanton Females then that take delight , Their z Naked Breasts , Neckes , Armes , ( like some strange sight ) To shew to others , without Blush or shame , In spight of God , Men , who them taxe and blame : Are rather shamelesse Rockes than Adams Race ; And for the most part voyd of Sence , shame , Grace ; If not of Honour , and true a Chastitie , Sith most is common which doth open lye . 6. When we behold Men with much Danger , Swet , Paines , Trouble , vilest wrack to gather , get , And draw from Sea-Rockes , for to burne , or dresse Their tilled Grounds , and mend their fruitfulnesse . Me thinkes it should wring b Teares from us , to see What Paines these take for Dung , whiles they and wee Doe not take halfe the Care , Paines , Travell , Sw●et The richest Gems of Grace to digge , fetch , get From Christ our Rocke , which would not onely cheare And warme our Soules , and make them fruite to beare ; But them c adorne , enrich , store in such wise , That they all else as vile Dung would despise . For shame then henceforth let us take d more paine These richest Gemmes , than they base wracke to gaine . 7. When I a Rent or Clift in Rockes espie , It mindes me of the dreadfull Majestie , And mighty Power of our God which make The hardest e Rockes for feare to split f rent shake And duely pondred would in peeces teare Our Rockie Hearts , & make them quake for feare 8. When I behold Men , Tempests , Waves , Raine , Winde , Beate long on g Rockes , and yet no entrance finde : It makes me see what h rockie hearts we have At which though Christ ( who seekes our Soules to save ) Doth dayly i knocke by his Word , Grace and Sp●rit , Saints , Preachers , Motions ; and oft times them smite With sundry Judgements , Tempests , Seas , Malles , Winds To make them open , yet but k seldome finds , Or makes an Entrance : nay though many yeares , He thus beates on them , yet no fruite appeares : O Hearts more hard than any Rocke , Flint , Steele , Which all these strokes upon them never seele ! O l patient Jesus ! who so long canst beare , With such hard hearts , which will not melt nor teare ! 9. When I behold Rockes , Stones , most ragged , base , Rude and deformed in their Native place , m Hew'd out from thence , and polisht by Man-Kinde Turn'd into goodly Structures of each Kinde And made rich Statucs , n Jewels , Ouches , Gemmes , Yea , set in Gold and royall Diadems . I thence conclude , that God with much more ease Speede , Art , can turne , when ever he shall please , The o hardest , vilest , rockie Hearts that are Into rich Temples , Jewels , Gemmes most rare ; Yea set them in Christs very royall Crowne Like precious stones unto their great renowne . As he did p Paul , q Manasses , and all those Most glorious Saints which Heav'n doth now inclose . Let no man then though ne're so meane , vile , base , Lewd , sinfull , once despaire of Gods free Grace , Which in a moment can r change and transtate Him from his wretched to a glorious state . 10. When as I see the s waters that doe streame And gush from stony Rockes , me thinkes they seeme A lively Image of those t Teares that flow From Rockie Hearts , when they once tender grow . Through Gods sweete Grace and Spirit , which can melt The hardest Hearts to Teares , and them relent As He did Rockes of Old , whence v water gusht By streames when He them either smote or crusht . Blessed Lord Jesus , soften , breake , relent Our Hearts of Rocke , and cause them to repent , And send forth Streames , nay Floods of Teares to wash , Our sinnes away , and all their force to quash . 11. x Eagles in lofty Rockes still breed and lye , And from their Toppes their Prey farre off espie : Gods chosen Saints whom Scriptures oft compare To y Eagles , upon Christ high mounted are : ( The tallest Rocke ) on whom they z build , lodge , stay , And thence they seeke , finde , take their sacred prey . Lord make our Soules with Eagles wings to flye , To this sweete Rocke , and there to live and dye . 12. When I contemplate how Rockes a Christall Springs Which serve to moisten , soften other Things , Make trees , herbes , grasse , plants , flowers spring and grow ; And queneh the Thiest of all things here below ; Yet neither moysten , soften , fructifie The Rockes themselves , still barren , fruitlesse , dry : Me thinkes I view in them some Rockie Hearts , Endew'd with rare , rich , profitable Parts Of Art and Nature ; which doe good to many , Yet to their Owners good , they doe not any . How many Preachers others helpe to save Yet b damne themselves ? and whiles they others gave The Food of life , have starv'd themselves to death : Others made Fertile , themselves barren Heath ? How many c wise to teach , rule , counsell all Except themselves , and so through folly fall : It s hardly worth the Name of Good Art , Skill That betters others , makes the Owners Ill. 13. When I espie Rockes trampled on by all , Christs and true Christians States , to minde I call . d Trod under feete , with all contempt , spite , hate Throughout the world , and valu'd at no rate . Complaine not then of any dis-respect . No greater Honour than Ill mens neglect . 14. Each vaste , high-towring , massie Rocke we eye Presents to us the strength and Potencie Of that Almighty God , whose e Potent Hand Did in a moment , both by Sea and Land Raise up so many vaste high Piles , and Packe Such Massie Rockes on one anothers backe ; Without an Engin , by his f Word alone , And them so strongly soder one to one That all the Art , Wit , Strength , in Man's to weake To rase these Mounts , and them in Peeces breake . We wonder much at * Stonedge , where there lye A few large stones , pil'd vp not very high On one anothers head , and thinke it strange , How men such pondrous Stones eould reare and range , In such a manner , though these great stones be But Pigmies , Pibbles to the Rockes we see . How much more then with wonder and amaze Should we upon those Massie high Rockes gaze Which them so far in Bulk , weight , height exceed , And may true admiration in us breed Of Gods Almighty Power , which could raise Such grand , rare , lasting Trophies to his praise . To which all Structures made by men doe seeme But Mole-hills , Attomes , and of no esteeme . He who such heavie Rockes could make , lift , reare , g Weigh , tosse with ease , as if they feathers were ; With greater ease can lift and elevate His humbled Saints out of their h lowest State : And in an instant into i shivers dash , All who with Him or Them presume to clash . 15. When we discerne the Sea , and Time to k weare The very Rockes , and them to waste , eate , teare ; Thinke and contemplate then , how time , age , space All things consume , waste , weaken and deface ; But chiefely Men , compact of l Dust , not stone Who fade like m grasse , are in a Moment gone . How can meere Dust and Ashes thinke to last , When time and age the hardest Rockes doe wast ? 16. Those who in lofty , fenced , steepe Rockes dwell Are n haughty , proud , secure , and farre excell Most others in these vices , slighting all , As if no Mischiefe could upon them fall . Whence sodaine Dangers , Ruines them surprise ( To quell their Pride ) from those they most despise ; Thus carnall Men advanc'd and fortifide With potent Friends , wealth , Honours , swell with o Pride ; Deride all Dangers , Foes , grow so secure , As if their Props and Stayes should still endure . Whence God their Pride to punish and abate Casts them downe head-long by some sodaine Fate . Which should make all , but great men specially Beware of Pride , and grosse Security , The sad p Fore-runners of a certaine fall , Which them and theirs will soone to peeces mall . 17. When as we see Men with must cost and paine To Mine the Rocks , and Treasures thence to gaine Of sundry Sorts ; where with they much increase Their wealth , and make things meete for warre and Peace : It forth-with mindes us how with farre more care , Cost , Paines , Sweat , Labour all who Christians are , Should dayly q Search , and Mynefor richer Oare In Christ their Rocke ; in whom there is such store Of peerelesse Mines , and Treasures of each Kinde As well content , yea r fill the vastest Minde ; And store all Christians with all Things they need In Peace and War , Life , death ! Let this then breed A Resolution in us , still to Mine , And draw these Treasures from this Rock Divine . 18. Whiles that we view Men Rockes to smite , pierce , rent With Sledges , Axes , or like Instrument ; We then should ponder , how we all each day Our blessed Rocke Christ Jesus s smite , stab , slay A fresh with those accursed Sinnes and Crimes Where-with we grieve , pierce , wound Him at all times : Which Thought should turne the Edge , and Point of all Our Sinnes from Him ; upon our selves to mall Breake , wound our Rockie hearts , because we rent , Abuse Christ thus ; and cause us to repent . 19. When we espie Rockes dart out Sparkes of fire When smote , or cut with Tooles of Steele or I're : It sweetely mindes us , how the Hand of God Smiting upon us with an t Iron Rod Should from our Hearts of Rocke extract and draw Such sacred Sparkes , yet flames as should them thaw , Purge all their Drosse away , and them inflame With a most ardent Love , unto his Name . Lord when thy Rod shall ever on us lite , Let it such Sparkes , and Flames in us excite . 20. Springs , Quarries , Mines in Rockes , ne're drawne quite drie ; Present most sweetely to each Minde and Eye The v inexhausted , boundlesse , Endlesse Mines , Springs , Treasures , Stares , and vastest Magazines Of Grace and Goodnesse , which inclosed lye , Within the Bosome of the Deity . To feede , feast , fill , enrich , each hungry , poore , Sad , pined Soule , with all their matchlesse store . The very thoughts whereof our Hearts should fill With sweetest Solace , and delight them still . 21. When I perceive the smallest Pibble x sinke In Floods , as deepe as greatest Rockes ; I thinke How smallest Sinnes are deadly , and as well , As soone almost , as Great , sinke Men to Hell . O then beware of all sinnes , since the small As well as great to y Hell thus ●●nd and fall . Let Papists talke of Veniall sinnes , I trow No sinne is veniall , when all sinke so low . 22. The worthlesse Rubbish in each Rocke exceeds , And hides the Mines and Precious stones it breeds : Yea , richest Mines have ever greater Store Of drosse and off all , than refined Oare . Which pondred , learnes us , how each Place , z Church breeds More Bad than Good : that Good Mens Ill , exceeds Their Goodnesse : that the Bad , Good Men obscure As Rubbish hides , Surmounts the Oare that 's pure . Hence Multitude , and visibility Appeare ill Markes a Churches Truth to trie . 23. When a Rockes or Stones fall on Men , and them dash To peeces , or at least them bruise and quash : It mindes us how our Rocke Christ b grindeth all To powder , upon whom be doth once fall . O then beware how we pull on our backes This Massie Rocke which Men to peeces crackes . 24. c Rockes keepe from sinking those who walke or Stand Vpon them , whiles such , who on Bogges , Floods , Sand Doe walke , d rest , stay , sinke downe and mired are , Yea oft times drowned without speciall care . Hence may we learne that those who walke , rest , stay , Themselves on Christ ( the surest Rocke ) alway Stand firme , safe , stable ; never sinking downe ; Whiles those who on Bogges , Sands sinke , stand , and drowne . O let our feete on this Rocke still abide Then are we certaine not to sinke , fall , slide . 25. Rockes those who dwell upon them fence , e defend , But those who Scale them , hurt , bruise and offend . So Christ our Rocke f protects his Chosen sheepe Who rest upon Him , doth them safely keepe . Yet hurts and breakes to g peeces all such Foes , Who dare presume Him , and them to oppose . 26. The sight of Rockes , their h Clists , Caves , Holes should Minds , All of the Day of Judgement , yet behinde : So full of dreadfull Terrour and Affright That i Kings themselves , and men of greatest Might Shall quake and shake for very feare ; and call Vnto the Rockes and Hills on them to fall ; And into Caves , H●les , Clifts of Rockes shall flye To hide them from the W●ath , S●●ht , Maje●tie Of Christ our Rocke , before 〈…〉 The Rockes shall then melt , fill , quake , change their place . And all the k Stout , proud , Rockie Hearts of those Who did Himselfe , Word , Grace , Saints here oppose . Shall be so daunted , stonisht , strucke with feare And Horrour , that they l dare not once appeare ; Till drag'd perforce before Christs Barre and Face , Where try'd , convict , condemn'd ; with all disgrace They shall be cast for all Eternity Into Hels fiery Flames , there still to fry . O let the Terrour of this dismall Day , ( Which now drawes neere , and we should m mind alway ; ) For ever scare us from all Sinne , and make Our Stony Hearts to melt , bleed , sigh , breake , ake : And cause us now with speed to flye and hide Our selves within the Holes of Christs pierc'd side , Who shall us o judge : and then we boldly may o Lift up our Heads , and Hearts in that great Day With joyfull cheare , when others hang them downe ; And eke receive a Rich , Large , Massie p Crowne . Of endlesse Glory , in the Heavens high Where we shall reigne for all Eternity . O Christ ( our onely Rocke ) of thy free Grace Advance , and bring us to this blisfull Place : And let each Rocke , Clist , Stone we henceforth see Instruct us thus , and bring us home to Thee . The Conclusion . VVIth these sweete usefull Thoughts , and thousands more The Barren Rockes , our Hearts , and Minds may store When we behold them : and if Natures Booke , And Rockes , whiles we upon them dayly looke , Can teach us Nothing which our Lives may mend , Or cause our Hearts , Minds , Thoughts up to ascend To Christ their Rock , God , and the Things above , Them to contemplate with the greatest Love ; Our Hearts are Rockie ; We , quite voyd of Grace ; And Rockes than we , are yet in better Case .
