EBEN EZER , As a Thankefull Remembrance of Gods great goodnesse unto the City of BRISTOLL , in preserving them from the Forces of Prince Rupert without , and a Treacherous plot within , to betray the City to them the seventh day of March 1642. T. P. dedicates this . Exod. 12. 14. And this day shall be unto you for a memoriall . , ver. 42. It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord . Iudg. 5. 11. They that are delivered from the noise of Archers in the places of drawing water , there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord , even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his Villages in Israel . O Thou who dost excell the highest praise , Thou wonder-worker , life and length of dayes , Thou never-failer in the mount to thine , Onely wise , present , in each place and time , What Brazen Colume , or what Marble stone , Shall we ingrave thy noble Acts upon ? This act , thy strange act , counterplotting those Blood-thirsting ( Foraine and Domesticke ) foes ? O native City how canst thou be still ? What would'st have more thy mouth with praise to fill ? Is health , or wealth , or plenty worth the having ? Or seed immortall , sent thee for soule-saving ? Or Life , that blessings make the rest to thee Matters of praise ? then sing a part with me . Septembers seventh was thankfull for the Scots , And we not for our selves , whose lives by lots Like Hamans bloody prodigy was cast This present March ? it might have beene our last , The rising Sunne might warme our frozen brest , More then a falling . Scots then , now we had rest . Startle the Muses , rattle up the Quires , Of sweetest Musicke , Citizens Bonfires , Let Bels , and Cannons roare , your joyes expressing ; Young Men and Virgins , in your comely dressing , A way to Church in flockes , the touling Bell Toules now for Heaven , is not for death or Hell : Each streete is echoing praise , the sword is staid , The horned Rammes in Isaaks place are laid : So let them perish and indure disgrace , That Traytors prove unto their native place . The King of heaven our gracious King preserv , But those that doe his Grace pretend to serve , I wish they may prove upright , faithfull , good , But for to plot to shed their Neighbours blood , As some have done , and in this plot would doe , They prove no lesse then King and Kingdomes foe . O Prince of Peace , let it not seeme too great , That Prince and Peeres , and Peoples hearts may meet , And all in unity and peace as one , Build Zions walls , and downe with Babylon , Till when , for mercies let us thankfull be , And untill then , never unbend our knee . So praise , and pray , and Fast and pray agen , Vntill the God of Peace shall say Amen .
