PREFACE.
I. ipERHAPs the General Preju* X dice againft Chriftian Perfection (the Subject of Many of the following Vcrfes) may chiefly arife from a Mifapprehenfion of the Nature of it. We willingly allow, and: continually declare, there is No fucb PerfeftioB, in this Life, as implies either a Dilpenfation from Doing Good a^d attending all the Ordinances of God; or a Freedom from Ig- norance, Miftake,. Temptation, and a Thoufand Infirmities neceflarily conne<aed with Flefli and Blood.
2. Firft, wa not only, allow, but earnejily contend^ . (as for the Faith once delivered to the Saints) That there is no Perfedion in this Life which implies any Difpenfation from attending All the Ordi- nances of God, or from doing Good unto jdll Men,, ivhile ive have Himey tlio' ypedaJly unto the Uou^^U of A 2.

Faith. And wholbever tliey are who have taught othcrwiie, we arc cx>nvjnccd are not tiiugbt of God. W'^e dare not recerce them, ncitker bid them GoD/ptCi/, leaft we be Partakers of their evil D;eeJs. We be- . lieve ■ that not c]ilv the Babes in Christ, who have newly found Redemption in His Blood, but thole alio who are groan up unto Perfe£i Maiy unto the Men jure of the Stature of the Fuhiefs of Christ, are indifpenfably obliged (and that they are obliged thereto, is their Glory ^ and Cro^m of Rejoicing) as oft as they have Opportunity to eat Bread arui drink Wine, /;/ Remembrance of Him I To fnrch the Scriptures; By Failing (as well as Temperance) to keep timr Bodies under ^ and bring them into SuhjcEtion; And above all, to pour out their Souls in Prayer, both Secretly and in the Great Congregatimi.
3. We, Secondly, believe, and therefore ipeak, and that unto *^11 Men, and ^.i^ith wuch Ajjurance^ Thit there is no /hch Perfection in
7he PREFAUE,
this Life, as implies an Entire Dc- Rverance, either from Ignorance or Miftake, in Things not eflential to Salvation, or from manifold Temptations, or from numberlefs Infir- mities, wherewith the Corruptible Body, more or lefs, prefles down the Soul. This is the lame thing which we have fpoken from the beginning. If any teach otherwife, they are not of us. We cannot find any Ground in Scripture to fuppofe. That any Inhabitant of an Houfe of Clay, is * wholly exempt either from Bodily: Infirmities, or from Ignorance ot many things; or to irtiagine Any is Incapable of Miftake, or of falling into divers Temptations. No; the^- Dijiiple is not above bis Majier^ nar the Servant above his Lord. It is enough that every one 'who is PerfeSiy jkall be as his Majier.
4. But what then, it may be afked, , Do you mean by One that is Per-* fe£fy or. One that is as his Mafter ? We mean, One in whom is the Mind which ivas in Christ, and wbo^ walketh as He ^walked \ aMaiv. A 3 OtvaX

To declare this a little more particularly^, we iinderffand by that Scriptural Expreffion a Perfect Man, One in whom God hath fulfilled His faithful Word, From all your Filthinefs and from all your Idols will I cleanfe you — / will aljofaw you jrom All yoiir Unclean" nejjes. We underftand hereby, One whom God* hath SanSiified throughout y even in Bodyy Soul and Spirit: One who walketh in the Light y as Darknefs at all\ the Blood <?/ Jesus Christ His Son, having cleanfed him from all Sin.

Sacred Poems.
Part L
Hhe Fortieth Chapter £/" Isaiah.
Vji Comfort the People of your Lo r d
Oh ! lift ye up the Fallen Race,
And chcar them by the Gofpel-Word.
2. Go, into every Nation, go \
Thy God the Punifhment hath bore. Thy God the Debt hath more than paid.
4. Punifh'd Thou art, for He hath dy'd, (The Merit of His Death is Thine)
Abfolv'd, and freely Ju/lifv'd, And cloatb'd in JC/g/iteournefs Divine.
5- Hark in the Wildcrncfs a Cry, A Voice that loudly calls, Prepare !
Prepare your Hearts, for God is nigh. And means to make His Entrance there.
Open your Hearts to make Him Room, Ye Defart-Souls, prepare His Way.
7. The Lord fhall clear His Way thro' All, - Whatever obftrufls, obflrudls in vain ;
The Vale fhall rife, the Mountain fall. Crooked be ftrait, and Rugged plain.
S. Nature perverfe and rough fhall yield, Th* Afpirmg droop, the Abjeft dare;
Alike by Sovereign Grace compelled Defpair fhall hope, and Pride defpair.
9. When All into Subjedion brought Lcrd fhall lie, 'and humbly low.
Who captjivated every Thought,
His Glory then the Lo r d fhall fhew.
10. The Glory of the Lord difplay'd Together All Mankind fhall view ;
And what His Mouth in Truth hath faid. His own Almighty Hand fhall do.
Part H.
I. Withering as Grafs is Humankind,
And fketmg as the fhort-liv'd Flower ; The Goodlmefs to-day we find
^ To-morrow fedes, and is no more.
.2. Man, foolifh Man his Vertue fhews. Which for a Moment charms our Eyes,
The Sin-convincing Spirit blows.
Withers the Flower, and fedes, and dies.
3. Die the gay Flower of Human Pride : The Word of God fhall ftand fecure j
The Word of God fhall (till abide, And firm from Age to Age endure.
4. Sion afcend the Mountain-Top, Jerujahnty the Grace proclaim ;
Herald of God, thy Voice lift up,
And ftrongly fliout the S A V I OUR's Name.
y. Good Tidings (hew to Jmlahh Race, Publifh throughout the Earth abroad
Good Tidings of Redeeming Grace, And cry to All, Behold your Go d f
6. Behold the Lord your God fhall come. And bow the World to His Command 5
Hb out-ftrctch'd Arm (hall niake Him Room: Who can His out-flretch'd Arm withfland?
7. Lo ! an exceeding great Reward, Himfdf, to Humbled Souls He gives t
He fills whom firfl He hath prepared. And All in All for ever lives.
8. Shepherd of Soulis, His tender Care Shall .kindly for His Flock provide ;
The Lambs He in His Arms fhall bear, . And fweetly in His Bofom hide.
The Great with Young fhall gently lead. And feek the Lofl, and heal the Sick.
Part III.
1 . Nor doth His Love eclipfe Hi$ Might, Or leffen His Majeftick Powers,
Though (looping from His Glory's Height;
2. He in the Hollow of His Hand Meafut'd the vaft unbounded Main ;
The wide-extended Heavens He fpan'd: Iniinit/ His Arms contain.
3. He mccted out the Earth, and pois'd The Mountains, hung on Empty Space^
4. Creation's Line His Wifdom laid. He grafp'd the Chaos with His Fill j
Sea, Air, and Earth, and Heaven He weigh'd. And Ud th* Exa^ Machine confifl.
5. Who with the Great Omnifcient God, Aneel or Man in Council join'd,
To Him the Way of Judgment (hew'd, Or taught that All-informing Mind?
6. He high enthroned above All Height A Partner in His Work difdains ;
In Power and Knowledge Infinite The Self dircdled Spirit reigns.
7. Sec the vaft Tribes that crowd the Face Of Earth, the Iflands fcatter'd wide ;
Survey the whole of Human-Race,
Their Wealth, their Number, and their Pride.^
S. Light as the Balance-Duft, and fmall To Him as the Minuteft Grain,
Their MUlions into Nothing fall, Or fwdl'd to be difccrn'd in vain/
9. The Nations with their God compare
And loft in His Immenfity.
104 Lighter than Vanity, and Icfs Than Nothing, He on All looks down ;
Nor can their Services appeafe
His Wrath, or mitigate His Frowm
1 1. Lehanon brings her Stores in vain.
Nor All her Cedars can afibrd. Not all her Beafts for Sinners (lain.
An Ofliaing worthy of their Lo r ik
Who Self-fafficient and Supream Exifts, the One Eternal Goi>.
Part IV.
1. Say then. Ye Worms of Earth, to whon> Will Ye y^ur glorious God compare !
Vainly thro' aH His Works ye roam.
2. The vile Idolater belies
His Image with a Golden Shrine, To counterfeit the Godhead tries i
And Stocks and Stones, become Divine^
3. Man His own Deity reveres
By Self delight, and Self-eftecm,^ Whate'er the Sinner hopes, or fears, De/ires, or loves, is God to Himf.
4. But have Ye not His Being known^ And clear]/ feen by Nature's Light ;
5. The Heavens His Glorious Power proclaim, Th' Invifible on Earth is Ihew'd,
Nature is written with His Name,
And All Things fpeak their Builder God.
6. Creation to His Law fubmits. His* Rule He over All maintains,
High on the Globe of Heaven He fits. And undiflurb*d fot ever reigns.
7. Th' Inhabitants of Earth from thence^ As Gralhoppers His Eye beholds ;
His Hand, and Power, and Providence The Curtain of the Heavens unfolds.
8. Tis He who ftretch'd them out, 'tis He Who ftill the wide Pavilion fpreads.
That blue Etherial Canopy, ,
And draws it o*er His Creatures Heads.
9. Princes, and Kings, that dare withftand Their uncontroul'd Creator's Sway,
Shall iink beneath His Mighty Hand, And fall, and fade, and die away.
10. Planted awhile, or fown below, Their Stock accurfl fhall ne'er take Root ;
The Iio R D upon their Pride (hall blow, Widier the Flower, and blaft the Fruit.
Who Hall His Holinefs prefume To match, or who His?owfii fti^W ^t^"^
1 2. Lift ap your Eyes to Things on high. Nor Bx on Earth your groveling Thought^.
Who built yon azure vaulted Sky ?
Who fpoke thofe beauteous Orbs from Nought ?
13. God only Wife, and Great, and Strong, Made them to run their Heavenly Race ;
(Knowledge, and Might to Go d belong. Honour y and Majelty, and Praife.)
14. Their radiant Hods He marflials right, Their Nature^ Names, and Number knows ;
He bids them in their Courfes fight. And Uafl their Great Creator's Foes.
. They hear ; and Each His Will performs^
And lo! to Man they ever call, • Lift up your Eyes, ye abjedl Worms,
*■ Adore the Glorious Caufe of All !
Part V.
I The World He made He ftill fuflains. , Why then doil Thou, O I/rael, fay^ My God forgets His People^s Pains, His yacoh is a Callaway.
2. Repent Thee of thy peevifli Hade, Reodl the rafh defponding Word,
No more complain, * The Hour is paft, ' And I have wearied out my Lord.
3. Haft Thou not heard, haft Thou not known The Everlafting God, that laid
The Earth's Foundations, rules alone. Nor faints to bear the World He made?
4. JEHOVAH is Unchangeable,
His Ways, and Thought, are not ;xs 0>m^
5. Gently He lifts the Fallen up.
He gives them Faith, and Faith's Increafe, Revives their feeble, dying Hope,
And fills with Love, and Joy, and Peace;
6. Blafled the Vigour of the Young. Shall fade, and fuddenly decay ;
The Bold, and Confident, and Strong, Shall fbar, defpair, and die away.
7. But They, who wait upon the Lo a d-,. Shall furely find His Promife true,
Shall walk in Glorious Liberty, Shall fiiy upon the Wings of Love.
9. With Eagle*s Wings their Souls fhall rife. Steady and ftrong to Heaven foar.
Regain on Earth their Native Skits, And &int, and ^1, and fin no more.
77je Sixty-third Chapter ^Isaiah.
[The Firfi Pari altered from Mr. Norris.J
1. "VT O Common Vifion This I fee, X^ In more than Human Majefty,
2. His deep-dy'd crimfon Robes outvie The Blufties of the Morning^Sky,
Lo! how Triumphant He appears. And Victory in His Viiagc wears I
3. How ftrong, how ftately does He go ? Pompous, and folemn is his Pace,
And full of Majefty hit Face: Who is this Mighty Hero, who?
5. Why wcar'ft Thoa then this crimfon Die, Say, Thou All-conquermg Hero, why ?
Why do thy Garments look all red, Like them that in the Wme-fat tread?
6. The Wineprefs I alone have trod. That pondrous Mafs I ply'd alone.
And with me to afiiil was none, A Taik worthy the Son of God!
7; Angels flood trembling at the Sight, £nrag*d I put forth all my Might,
8. The Blood gufli'd out, and. chequer'd o'er My Garments with its deepeft Gore,
^- With glorious Stains bedeck'd I ftood. And writ my Vidlory in Blood.
9. The Day, the Signal Day is come. Vengeance on all my Foes to take,
10. I look'd who to aflift flood by : Trembled Heaven's Hoft, nor ventured nigh :
Ev'n to my Father did I look In Pain: my Father me forfook.
Then 1 arofe in Might array 'd, And caird my Fury to my Aid ;
1 2. My Single Arm the Battle won. And ftrait th' acclaiming Hofts above,
Hymn'd in new Songs of Joy and Love, JEHOVAH, and His Conquering Son.
Part II.
1 . I too will magnify the Lo r d. And emulate the Angels Lays,
His Loving-kindncffes record In Sounds of Everlafting Praife.
2. For All He hath on Us beftow*d. This only Tribute can I bring,
Extol the Mercies of my God, His Multitude of Mercies fmg.
So rich in unexhaufted Grace, His Riches are Unfearchable.
4. Surely, He faid, mine own they arc, *• My People will not faithlefs prove.
My Children will not flight my Care, Or difappoint a Father*s Love.
/- Sweetly He ftrove their Hearts to gain. He ivoo*d them to embrace His "^'iW*
They nercr ask'd His Help in vain. But found a Prefent Saviour Itili.
6. Dear as the Apple of His Eye
In all their Griefs He kindly griev'dj The Angel of His Prefence nigh From all the fav'ritc Nation faved,
7. He refcued whw to Evil fold.
S. He magnified His Saving Power, Called £em His utmoil Grace to prove.
With infinite Compailion bore The Objedb of His tend* reft Love,
9. But Oh ! they foon forfi>ok their God,
The ^thlefs and rebellious Race In devious Paths of Evil trod.
And griev'd the Spirit of His Grace.
Conftrain'd the Rebels to chaftife.
He pour'd His Judgments on their Head.
When Only Merciful, and kind He fmiled on the Peculiar Race.
Where is He Now, their Hearts replied. Who brought His People from the Sea?
And breathed into his peaceful fireall The meek, mild Spirit of His Love.
14. Them by the Hand of Mo/es led. His Power, and Goodnefs to proclaim,
Beyond the Bounds of Time to fpread JEHOVAH'S Everlafting Name.
16. He brought them thro' the wondrous Way, The Deep was dry at His Command,
Nor ftumbled, till they reached the Land.
To bring them to That Promis'd Reft, His Spirit gently led them on.
And Earth, and Heaven confpire to praife The God of l/rae/*s Glorious Name.

And ftill unclean of Heart? Why doth Siri my Heart divide?
Whence this grievous Tyranny, All this Hell of Self and Pride,
