on, That God my Sorrows bore. 7. Me has my great Reproach forfook, He counts me even fair; But yet that Shame, which his Heart broke, Does ftill in me appear. 8. Now here the thought comes in my heart, Might I a Babe abide! And throughout in the Baby-cart, My Course determin'd ride. 9. But yet another Thought, that I My dear Lord's am, not mine, Makes that myself and all my Way I quite to Him refign. 10. If any where in this Time's fpace He poits his Child 'mong Men, And arms him o'er with chearfulness, He is a Hero then. 11. Thofe Seers, who are Kings withal, (And of this race are we) In Jefus Chrift the Man, do all Two fine endowments fee. That the King orders to be done, And Counsel turns to Deed. 14. For on Him does for ever lie (The word moft certain is) The Spiritus Confilii 15: Et Fortitudinis. I therefore here all times intreat, 16. Thus I fee not the evil day; 17. Then learn I my Cafe presently, To Staff and Shekinah. 18. Wisdom's that Look, diftinct and bright, Into pure Nature true; And Understanding fits it right, As for this Time is due. 19. Angels, who see the Father's face, Live in Truth's radiant light; And thus, if fent on Warrior's race, Want fure no Requifite. 20. But yet this Urim they have so, Borrow'd from Göd's Chrift 'tis ; Who of the Angel nature too Faithful Creator is. 21. And Angel-understandings muft, In this our fort of Light, And as things ftand with Mankind, firft Have Information right. 22. As Thou dost first this Thummim bear,' Thou giv'ft it, Angels Prince! Thou cam'ft into our Atmosphere, Where thou didst Man commence. 23. I do not wifh fo mightily That heav'n-tranfcending School; Pre Preferring to it willingly The Heart-Profeffor's Stool. 24. Yet the least doubt I can't admit, But thy Caufe fometimes will Have me to look into that Light, Where I on thee wait ftill. 25. If Angel-nature's Myfticism (Which one respecteth too) Be, with God's Paffion's Catechifm Superlative, ting'd thro', 26. Then fure the luftre high will us Not dazzle with such pow'r, That human Understanding thus Shall not 'bide as before. 27. Still lafts that Mind, one to Christ has, So as he Jefus is; In univerfal Nature's space, We own no Rule but this. 28. There the Degree is also known, How far God has in fact Fitted and deftin'd any one For Counsel, or for A&t. 29. Now, Holy Ghoft! I thee receive, Howe'er nam'd, from Chrift's 'Cause He on whom my heart believes, Thee to me promised. 30. Thou bleft Theofophy! come 33. So then, my Lord! infpir'd from thee, I do the Thummim take, Which, like the Wife-men's Star, will me Juftly apply Things make: 34. Moreover, what a Prieft muf ufe, If his Lips hallow'd will To Heart-enjoyment Truths reduce, And are to keep them ftill. 35. Cloath with this Spirit practical, Which is of mighty Worth, Whome'er in oeconomical Function thou fet'ft on Earth. 36. Now fenfe and thought no farther goes, Stopt fhort at once,- for ah! The first of th' feven Spirits blows, The Spirit of Joshua; 37. Which bore in the Old Teftament JEHOVAH's Spirit's Name, Whilst the Beginning and the End Not yet together came. 38. That Jehovah a Man would be, Was then as yet conceal'd: Yea as contending Party, he Seem'd from his Creature veil'd. 39. Twixt Chrift and Belial, underftood No man, what Procefs lay; And how the holy Suppliant fhou'd His Suit once gain, yet pay. Zech. iii. 40. Now fince this bleffed Text of God Thro' all the World obtains ; From whence it consequently flow'd, That Jefus Brethren gains ; 41. It follows, that the Spirit's Force Which that fole Man once here Brought with him from the Godhead's Source, Is now to us more near. 42. We climb not Heaven's light | 45. Now he, who hundred Locks henceforth, (Such high researches cease) We make no Tour of the Earth, Nor cross o'er Seas: any 43. We only, for his kindred's fake, Befeech our Lord and Head His Skirt with his own hand to take, And o'er his Servants spread. 44. To speak a Bleffing, now his That Prieft need only heave; Peace, Urim, Thummim give. goes thro', When he will Peace impart ; 46. May he the Witness-cloud endow, 47. When, Church, thy good Lord's Thou with Faith's ardor ey'st, He'll foon to each Difciple fay, Up! be thou like the Chrift. 390. Trifagium. Gemeine, herbey.
