An echo, or, The trumpeters triumph shewing the originall of a trumpet, from the alpha of Genesis to the omega of the Revelation very necessary and fit to be perused in these sad and mournfull times of all that wish wel to the peace of Ierusalem / written by E.F.

The Lords directions to Ioshua, how and in what manner he should besiege and obtaine Iericho.

And the Lord said unto Joshua, Seven Priests shall beare before the Arke seven Trumpets of rams hornes, and the seventh day yee shall compasse the City seven times, and the Priests shall blow with the Trumpets; and it shall come to passe, that when they shall make a long blast, and when yee shall heare the sound of the Trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the wall of the City shall fall down fl••t, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. And Joshua the sonne of Nun called the Priests, and said unto them, Take up the Arke of the Covenant, and let seven Priests beare seven Trumpets of rams horns before the Arke of God. And it came passe, when Ioshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven Priests bearing the seven Trumpets of rams horns passed on before the Lord, and blew with the Trumpets, and the Arke of the Covenant of the Lord followed them, and the armed men went before the Priests that blew with the Trumpets, and the rereward came after the Arke, the Priests going on and blowing with the Trumpets. And it came to passe on the seventh time, when the Priests

blew with the Trumpets, Ioshua said unto the people, Shout, for the Lord hath given you the City; so the people shouted when the Priests blew with the Trum∣pets. And it came to passe, when the people heard the sound of the Trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell downe flat, so that the people went up into the City every man straight before him, and the people took the City, Iosh. 6. 3, 4, 5, &c.

And thus you see what aid our Maker sends To those that love him, and respect his friends. Likewise you see what shifts the Priests did make, That they this City might besiege and take. Then Trumpets take, your Trumpets give one sound, For joy that Jericho has kist the ground.
