Admonish your selves in Psalmes and Hymnes and spirituall Songs . The E. of Essex . The E. of Warwicke . Sir Wil. Waller . Mr. Pym . COme along my valiant Souldiers , let us goe into the field ; O let us march after our Captaine , unto our foes let us not yeeld . Although our enemies be many , and though they doe us sore annoy , Hoasts of men they are as nothing , Jehovah can them all destroy . We have a Cause that 's just and equall , our adversaries is not right ; Therefore one shall chase one thousand We shall put them all to flight . Though we be hungry , cold and weary , and almost ready for to starve , We have an all sufficient Captaine from them all can us preserve . The wedge of Gold let us not covet , nor the Babilonish garment : Then aye be sure it will be taken , if with our owne we be content . What though the Walls of Jerico be strong , and broad , and tall , and high 'T is faith , though with the sound of Rams horns , upon the ground will make them lie . What though Goliah with great words the Host of Israel doe defie ; We have a little sling like Davids , will make him on the ground to lie . What though he have a Shield in bignesse farre passing any Weavers beame , We have a Shield that is not carnall , will make him swim as downe the streame . Every Kingdome that 's divided Christ saith , it shall be brought to nought . But all you that are Christs souldiers be not ye troubled , take no thought . The battell it is not our owne , we will not trust in Gun nor Swords , No nor in Horses , nor in Chariots , the battell onely is the Lords . The battell being not our owne , let us not goe in our owne might . The Lord he saith he will fight for us , in our owne strength let us not fight . Though some in Horses put their trust , and others in Chariots take delight , 'T is not their might , nor with their power , but with his Spirit we doe fight . Come let us stand upon our watch , and let us not forget to pray . We shall be freed then from temptation , and of our foes shall get the day . Our Armour of proffe let us put on , but above all our Shield let us bring ; Then shall we be like unto Moses , which feared not the wrath of a King . Behold I see the blood of Captaines , both small and great lie on the ground , Therefore strike up the Drums alarum , let not the Trumpets sease to sound . Behold how Babell it doth stagger , meethinkes it doth begin to fall . The white Horse rider , and his Army , will dash their bones against the wall . Though here the beasts and the false Prophet , a little while doe seeme to thrive , Yet shortly shall they both be taken , and into the lake be cast alive . Therefore let us all sing Halalujah , both now , and also evermo●●● Because he hath our blood ●●●…ged , and judged the Skarlet coloured whoore . Is any merry , let him sing Psalmes .
