By a CITIZEN of SYON . ONe a thing beleevers hearts are fixt upon , that thing of God they are to seeke alone ; And seeking seeke they must till they obtaine , b prefering it before all earthly gaine . c That precious thing is , that they may be blest , to sit in * Gods own House , and ●here to rest , Even all their daies , in glory to abide , what ever outward want they have beside . d That they may view the beauty of the Lord , and in his worship ever more accord : e Gods glory is the thing they doe desire , and in his Temple daily to enquire . f Till this obtained be , no rest they have , of God by Christ , this fervently they crave ; g Christs glorious face doth yeeld them such delight , h which chiefly in his House doth shine so bright . The i Tabernacle this sweet House did shew . the k Temple of it was a Type we know ; Yet both but glimpses of This l Spirituall House , of lively stones conjoyn'd most pretious . m Christ I●sas to this House is th'only doore , n of foode and rayment there 's sufficient store ; o In it is righteousnesse great peace and joy , p the surest safety , freedome from annoy . q At gates thereof . grave Porters watchfully , r Do keepe out all , that worke iniquity : s In it the tree of life is found to grow , from which unto the faithfull , life doth flow . t Here are no Dogs , nor Wolves nor noysom beasts , u of Sheepe that straid , now hom brought it , consists ; w The wall salvation is , the Bulwarks praise , x Devouring fire , doth compasse it alwaies . y Our great Iehovahs sweetnesses are there , no where to Christians they so much appeare ; z The treasures there contein'd , who can relate ? a or pleasures great , which last beyond all date . a Come see and tast this fulnesse of all good , b yee , that in Babell have with perill stood c Unsatisfied with husks , mongst many Swine ; d enter this lovely House , that 's so divine . What this House is , if further you demand , e Of Saint , it is an Armed warlike band : f Who are in Christs name gathered into one , to worship God , as g Christ commands alone . h They do professe , to Christ they all belong , i in Christ united , they become most strong : k With Spirituall weapons they do daily fight . and in that warfare they do most delight . l Unto them Members they have power to take , m and to cast out al , that the truth forsake : n Gods order only , they do most desire , o all mens devices they adjudge to fire . p They of themselves , Church Officers Ordaine , q Pastors who feed the flock they will maintaine : r Mens Doctrines they will prove and daily try , receiving truth , approving no mans ly . s Christ as their only Prophet they will heare , t Christ as their only Priest . they hold most deare : u To Christ as only King they 'l Subjects be , in Church affaires , in these they all agree . w If any shall this House henceforth deride , and scorning it , in Babell still abide . Before Gods face , x as foes they must be slaine . whose rule and Kingdome proudly they disdain . Awake Awake , put on strength ( O. Syon ) put on thy beautifull garments ; Oh Jerusalem , the holy City , for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the uncleane shake thy selfe from the dust , arise and sit downe , oh Jerusalem , loose thy selfe from the bands of thy neck , oh Captive , Daughter of Zion , Esa. 52. 1 , 2. ● unto Caesar the things that are Caesars , and unto God , the things that are Gods , Mat. 22 . 21.
