SIGHS for SION: OR, FAITH and LOVE Constraining some grievings in her Sorrow, and groanings for her Deliverance: By a few of her weak and unworthy Children.
Humbly, and in all faithfulness, presented to those Assemblies of hers, where Grace hath set them as Watchmen; and unto any others, that in every place call upon the Name of JESUS CHRIST our Lord, both theirs and ours.
In way of ESSAY, To blow the Trumpet in Sion, and sound an Alarm in Gods holy Mountain, To the awakening them that are at ease, and pressing and en∣couraging all the upright in heart, to be in pain with her, in this day of her sore travel, and great Expectation.
PSAL. 137.1. —We wept, when we remembred Sion.
ISA. 62.6, 7. I have set Watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give him no rest, till he establish, till he make Jerusa∣lem a praise in the earth.
LAM. 2.18, 19. Their heart cryed unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Sion: let tears run down like a river night and day, give thy self no rest, let not the apple of thine eyes cease; arise, cry out in the night, in the begin∣ning of the watches pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord, &c.
MIC. 4.10. Be in pain and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Sion, like a woman in travel.
ISA. 66.8. — As soon as Sion travelled, she brought forth her Children.
