OF THE PSALMS.

The whole shall come, as thou hast done,
For backward I shall go,

Till on the Serpent I shall turn,

I say,

the every

blow.

Let Men see clear what's written there,
And trace the PSALMS like thee,
And then I bid them answer here,
How they the whole can free?
What vision first can they now place,
That did of ME foretel;

That help in ME should surely be,
The MIGHTY ONE excel?

Or what First Born was judg'd by men
To be exalted so,

Higher than earthly king to come
Above them, you do know?
Let men appear and answer here,
How they do judge the thing?
Because the words are written here-
Higher than earthly kings.

This sure to Man can never come;

Then it must come to ME,

Who shed my Blood then in Man's stead;
As there the fault you see,

Was cast by Man: so I did come;

But now I'll bring it back,

I say, upon the Serpent's head,
And he shall feel the rack.

Because that long he did blaspheme,
And does it to this day;

But he shall know my every Name-
The Promises do lay

For ME to come again to Man,

And plead мY PROMISE here;
And as a GOD I'll now awake,
I've told thee so before;
When I at first to thee did burst,

In Spirit to appear,

I said the Serpent should be cast-
The second Psalm was near;
That I'd fulfil my Father's will,
And my demand I'd claim;
And now this day, to thee I say,
I will the whole maintain;

My cause I'll plead, as I have said—
Remember all before :

How the reproach of wicked men
Doth daily here appear;

But I'll go back to bring the stroke,
I tell thee, now on Men,

If that my Bible still they'll mock,
When I have shew'd them plain
How it doth appear my Bible clear,
That no Man can deny.

But if they now begin to fear,
And see how all do lie;

Then they'll see plain in every line,
When I was murder'd here,
That I ascended up on high,
To make my Bible clear:
And gifts for men i said I'd bring,
And so 't shall now come down;
I said the COMFORTER should come-
The HOLY GHOST be found,
That in my Name should surely come,
And in my Name 'tis done:
And as thou say'st of David's Psalms--
His mind was like thine own;
Only in one thou can'st not join,
Then now I'll join with thee:
As to the Serpent thou art come,
In Spirit join'd with he;
That's DAVID here I mean to clear,
That wish'd it to the man:
My enemies he could not bear→→→→
The shadows from him come.
But thou dost say another way,
That Satan is the Foe:
Mankind he daily does betray,

And that thou well dost know;
In blasphemy he came to thee,
And did blaspheme my Name;
Thou wish'd it now to fall on he-
So all thy foes I'll shame,
If they will say another way,
"We do not wish it here;

Though he the Woman did betray, "Her guilt we will not clear, "To have'it laid on Satan's head, "But let her guilt go on."

Then as the Psalm mankind do read,
They could not bear for Mau;
But now the same I do discern,
"Tis to the Serpent plac'd:

And in like manner men are come,
Their Lord for to diigrace;
Then surely I, who dwell on high,
Have shed my Blood in vain,
If men go on my enemies,

And Satan's cause maintain.
But if they turn, in sorrow mourn,
And all begin like thee--

"On Satan's head it might be laid,

"His blasphemy, we see,

"Will never cease, to bring in peace

"We wish him for to fall."

Then their rebellion let them turnFor I shall answer all,

OF THE PSALMS.

That gifts for them shall surely come,
Their PARDON I'll implore;
And give my Kingdom unto them
And I shall give them more:
My Spirit strong on them shall come,
In blessings to abound,

When Satan's power is overturn'd;
And I have chain'd him down.
Then men may say from day to day,
"We benefits receive,

"Strong from our Gon, what he hathsaid
"His words we do believe;
"He loads us here, as doth appear
"Our Bibles here are true;
"We know the Spirit cannot err
"Bring all before our view:
"Our Bibles here we see them clear,
"This PROMISE made at FIRST,'
"And now the mystery we see clear,
"How plain the truth must burst
"On Satan's head, as she hath said,
"It must be laid by she;

"Because by Man 'twas never done

"Adam at first, we see,

"When for our good we know she stood
"Though Man blam'd her at first,
"And to her weakness all allude,
"Though he as weak was cast?"
Did he appear more strong than her?
Was he not soon betray'd?
But was his justice then as clear,

To cast it on MY HEAD?

So now let Man the trial stand,

And answer from thy word;

How they'll appear to answer here,
Still to condemn their GOD?

They've still blam'd Man in all they've done,

And David they blame here;

They judg'd it cruelty in Man

To speak in words severe;

But now 'tis come to thy weak hand,

Thou speak'st a different way;

Then how can men the whole condemn?

Unless they boldly say

"Tis on our GOD we wish the rod

"For ever to remain :

121

“We wish not to avenge his Blood
"On Satan's head nor Man.
"No; blasphemy we wish to see
"Against his HOLY NAME;
"We do not wish for to be free
"From Satan's cursed chain."
Then surely I, who dwell on high,
Like DAVID must appear,
To be their fatal enemy,

Unless they'll answer here

"By thy weak hand we wish to stand→→ "The Woman's pleading's just: "We cannot wish the curse on Man, "Nor wish our SAVIOUR cast, "Such grief to bear as He did here, "And ne'er avenge the deed; "The Woman's pleading, we see clear, "Brings all on Satan's head. "Then like the first we see the last— "Our GOD we now see TRUE: "He made the Woman at the first, "And said he this would do,

"A HELPMATE here for Man t' appear― "He was not good alone;

"And from our Bibles we see clear"Could it be good in Man

"To cast the blame, as by Adam done, "The Serpent's guilt to free? "And David here there's few will clear, "To praise the curse of he, "So strong on Man to have it come"His anger there went deep. "And now we see a different way

The WOMAN here doth break:

"We now see all join'd with the FALL"Then how can we complain?

"If we refuse the WOMAN's call, "For wishing to free MAN,

"Then we must blame, ourselves to shame, "Our Bible to condemn,

"If God a Helpmate made of her,

"And in the volume come, "As written there for to appear, "His words for to make good;

"His Father's will for to fulfil,

And in her weakness stood
"A help for Man-shall we condemn,
"Because HE doth appear

"To prove at last his WORD at first,
"And be our Helpmate here?
"The stronger come the weak to bind,
In hand and heart to HE?

"That the strong man he now may find,
"And may his fetters see?

OF THE PSALMS.

"Though strong to man we know he's come,
"And us in sorrow bound;

"The STRONGER here will now appear➡
"Then let HIS WORKS be crown'd,

"To bind the whole that caus'd the Fall-
"From Satan's arts it came:

"Our GOD and SAVIOUR now we'll call,
"That he may chain him down.”
So thus let Men the trial stand,
And I'll stand strong for all;
But if they'll not, I'll tell their lot,
That down they all must fall.
So I'll go back as thou hast wrote,
And bring it to the first:

The second Psalm shall now be known,
In truth and power shall burst;
The Heathens here shall surely fear,
And all the earth shall see,

That to the ending now 'tis come,
That MY NAME prais'd shall be
From sea to sea, I now do say;
And so from shore to shore,
I'll bring my blessings down to men,
That wait the truth to hear.

For all to see it so shall be,

I'll make the wars to cease,
When I have gain'd the Victory
I'll bring a LASTING PEACE;
In every land it so shall stand-
Then see my BIBLE TRUE,
I'll break the Bow, they all shall know,
That doth in war pursue;

In sunder here I'll cut the spear,

And so it down shall fall;

And as a GOD I'll send the rod,

Till I have conquer'd all.

Then I'll be known a GOD to come,

And bring MY GLORY here;

Exalted then I'll be by men,

That do ME love and fear;

Because the Earth when I bring forth

A PARADISE for Man,

I know that they will worship ME,
And in MY TEMPLE Come,
With praises great, without deceit,
When harmony abounds;

And RIGHTEOUSNESS together n eet
And LOVE in every sound
Will then begin, the hearts of Men,
That now the TRUTH embrace,
They'll say that all is joined sweet,
And Man return the Kiss:

That is MY WORD, that's on record,
They will embrace it here,
