CHAP. XXIX.

REjoyce you all nowa 1.1 pleasantly, For joy our ears doth fill: Chear up your hearts couragiously, Be gladb 1.2 O Sions hill. For lo, the new time doth appear, That hath been writ of long: And is in sight to view full clear, Wherefore rejoyce with Song, Ye Remnant (Gods Inheritance) Bec 1.3 joyful in our City; Cast Fear out of Rememberance, And sing this dancing Ditty.

2.

Ford 1.4 North and South, ye Righteous, Come,e 1.5 blow the Horn apace; From East and West extoll even thus, Your voyce, and make solace. For here'sf 1.6 Emmanuel our King, Against that fierceg 1.7 Babel: Therefore now let your Trumpets ring, For he will her expel. Their heartsh 1.8 are all dismaid now quite, Sound up your Trumps apace: Think now on God both day and night, Andi 1.9 Discord from you chase.

3.

Now is the lastk 1.10 Cup fill'd also, Over Babels Kingdom high,

To stagger and strivel 1.11 like drunkars, lo, Thats now her Melody. Her Wisdom with her Practises, Thatm 1.12 comes now all to shame: And is no more of worthiness, Then for a laughing game. In Gods Preceps most pure and right, Rejoyce youn 1.13 in every Land: Hise 1.14 Light doth shine in us full bright, And under him we stand.

4▪

Now is the Kingdomp 1.15 of the Beast Made dark, be glad therefore: Theq 1.16 Light of Truth even here doth rest, Triumphing evermore. Hisr 1.17 Kingdom eke do we possess, The Truths 1.18 doth make us free: And sets our heartst 1.19 in quietness, With God at one are we. VVhose Love is unto us we finde (That do obey her voyce) As is the headu 1.20 to's members kinde, Gods Lifex 1.21 doth us rejoyce.

5.

His shuty 1.22 Paradise wherein we mought Not come, is op'ta 1.23 now fine: The tree of Life is sprouted out, VVhose fruit isb 1.24 medecine. Drink now thec 1.25 wine of Love most pure, With joy and merry cheer,

Gods Riches that alwayes endure, Are never wanting here. Fore-sightfullyd 1.26 with wariness, See that you leade your life, As do the wise, And seek no less To fliee 1.27 Dissentious strif.

6.

Now swallowed upf 1.28 lie death and sin, With their Folly great and vain: The Devilg 1.29 and Hell, whose bands we were in, The mockery appears now plain. The heavenlyh 1.30 Bread, or ghostly Food, That same our souls doth nourish: In Gods delightful Essence good, By means whereof we flourish. The Kingdomi 1.31 of the new man, pure, That out of God doth rise, Is now with us, here present, sure, In upright heavenly wise.

7.

A peaceablek 1.32 Kingdom have we now here, As Scriptures said before: Here is nol 1.33 wailing, nor mourning there, Vex ye your hearts no more, But now with us associate, For in the heavenlym 1.34 beeing, Is our King: he dothn 1.35 illuminate Us all, as is agreeing

To Scripture, where we reade the same, Rejoyce therefore and sing This new-land Songo 1.36 unto the Name Of him our heavenly King.

8.

Ye Princes of our God most high (Yep 1.37 people of the Lord) Which do agree inq 1.38 unity, Come all with one accord, Your joy increase, and eke fulfill, The truth receive also: Gods Spiritr 1.39 is on the path, and will Rebuke thes 1.40 world, his fo, Of her self framed righteousness: t 1.41 And th'arrogant wise ones are (VVith their contentious spitfulness) Laid down in silence there.
