To Mr. WILLIAM GEDDES Minister at Vrquhard, upon his two excellent Treatises, to witt, The Saints Recreation, and his Chronological Tables and Memorials.

GOod Master GEDDES, it is sweetly done, To cheer thy heart with Zions Spiritual Songs: Whil'st we with Gog and Magog fiercely run, Against each other with our wounds and wrongs; The joyes for which in Heaven alone we look, Are antedated in thy breast and Book. But though the Fancy and the Judgment joyn'd With Eloquence, harmonious measures make: Yet if with Memory not stamp'd and coyn'd; All are ingulfed in oblivions lake. How blessed are thy Books, which all the three Helps, Fancy, Judgement, and the Memory.

Mr. NINIAN PATERSON.
