In ESSEX where cutting down a Wood , divers of these Sprouts of the Warlike Ash , or Branches grew . John 3. And this is the condemnation , that light is come into the world , and men loved darkness more then light . Printed in the Year , 1651. Caeli Jubilate , &c. July , Anno 1651. Their Sealed Pardon . ALl joyn in Consort him to praise , ye roaring Sea and Earth : Not silent , lo with Tre 〈…〉 s wilde , yield lowd extolling mirth . Yea all his works in ▪ places all , whose goodness hath no end , Diverts his presence not , which doth from age to age descend . Magnificat , a Song full New , who hath his wonders shown : Vipers afore visible such , Witness , the like unknown . Firy Serpents in likeness whose . a Generation fresh : Fuel a Judgement bids beware the Rod : betokens no less . To stiff Necks all , stopping the Ear , more Pharaohs Sirs then one : Extol him then ye Tokens and Signs , a second Egypt grown . A fresh as though him Crucifi'd : bound with the heavy Belt : Pierced with Males : The Milstone like as much ; such Hearts do melt . Poor folk , inform'd though Moses were and Christ on Earth again : No want of Faith ; such Manna now but froath , worth not a Grain . The Tree ( reserv'd ) of Life 't is dead , poyson'd , thus cold and yong : Ensign of Peace , a Brazen ONE , figur'd to look upon . The second Part. LO on a pole , a living Tree , Moses as made for them : Like Mutineers erected for , or Age of grateful Men . The Doctrine of refreshing Times , bids not to day despise , When creeping things his Ministers , bidden Serpents like , be wise . Pointing thus unto him who had decreed Moses to drown'd : About his neck in Cradle whose afore was ever crown'd . Far better hang'd a Cable then , as needless now to whom : Was Stonage commended t' explain , or whose that thundring doom . So vertue of this Edens Plant , what Daphneys such Divine : Apollo's Leaches bitten by , dismissed from this time . Prescrib'd their Swellings to abate , Antidotes in season : No more the Dragon Red t' adore , in time awakens Reason . The everlasting Rod when buds , Contrition where the Bayl : Neither to be deferr'd : Submit , none other will avail . Set in array his to aff●ont , their Manhoods then brings down Such sucklings by , driven to their heels , dost them Victorious crown . Tongues Satans two edg'd Swords withdrawn , Serpents no more appear : The Ax behold , laid to the Root , no nesting ' or you here . Hi● Cities waste he will repair , Vine-dressers other choose , Fruits in due season to forecast , do not their Trusts abuse . Sing unto him ; so to him sing , his acts let blocks display , Who hatching theirs , Cockacrice Balms , all one do him obey . B●● Frogs and Lice , corrupting Flies compared with the true , Feeds itching E●rs ; with flying News , Egypts Spells bidden adieu . the Twelve alloted years expir'd , so Woman r●leas'd here . Stancht tedious Issues thine ; Peace too , be henceforth of good cheer . Thou Rulers Daughter LOE arise , Friends return to your Rest : T●pes both , how long of Iuries such , until be dispossest . By the Lady ELEANOR . Respice Finem . DROIT & AVANT . RECTE & PERGE . He that doth bear three Lyons , or Passant , Must Lyon like pass on , Droit & Avant . Aliter , Are thy ways right ? let not thy spirits faint , Start not aside , be bold , if Droit Avant . PSALMVS DAVISI Madam ; YOur Rod indeed hath swallowed mine , Hermes may now turn Hermit ; & the Nine Virgins turn Vestals to attend that fire , Which in your Altars Incense moveth higher Than e're Apollo's Harp was heard : Your Brass Doth far my Caducaean Staff surpass . As Arch-Types do Types : Whilest I look on Your Streams , I loath the Lake of Helicon . The most Devoted to Honor You , and unworthiest to be Honored by You as a Kinsman , M : TUKE . Je Le tien . Hold fast thy Right , that no man take thy Crown : Unto the Death , give Fortune leave to frown . ANd thou , O Tuke Tipyfi'd ! Loe in that one grateful Man , Whose fellow Lepers hast out-lept , with that Samaritan . Then Favorit Irish Bryon Tuke , Gifts those to thine but lame , Conferr'd on thy Grandsir : to these of thy Returns again . E : Do : FINIS .
