A word of Councel to the Disaffected . WIl ye not fear ? hath not th' Almighty shown His works of wonder ? will ye not them own ? Think who hath still withstood ye when ye hatcht Infernal Plots ? what eye , his overwatc'ht ? Think how by sea and land your forces joynd , Who still made frustrate what ye had designd ? Think when ye thought come was the Critick hour That none could help , how God still shewd his power . Think thus , and let your stubborn wills submit To him that chang'd the world , still orders it : But if thou see not , th' art a Bird of night , Whose eyes are dazled with the dawning light .
To the same , upon the Scots recantation . WIll ye not turn your angry stomack , since The Scotish Conscience doth it self convince ? Will ye not hear the Brethren that defie Their fained Compact , give themselves the lye ? Have you a Scottish Faith ? do like them then ; Far wandred from your friends , return agen .
To the same about Engaging . ARe you so ty'd to 'th Covenant that ye dare Not promise 'gainst what formerly ye sware ? Is not that Covenant that ye should resist All Hostile bands that 'gainst Religion list ? The Kirk confesseth that her powers are such , That she 's deceived ; do but ye as much ; But ye are ty'd to Fathers , and their Heirs . What say ye then if God new powers prepares , To present Rule his Word commands , ye bow ; Shall Gods Command be crossed by your Vow ? His Word obliging bonds from Conscience takes ; His word forbidding , oathes unlawful makes . You 'l say to such as have a legal call : But God himself doth bid submit to all . You 'l say to good and just , not bad ye dare : But God bids yeeld unto the powers that are ; And in so doing , promises to bless Men with a quiet life in Godliness ; For they that Titles do so far extend . Will kindle fires that burn unto the end : Who swears to future powers , doth strife increase ; Who swears to present , is a friend of peace . Thus heavenly wisdom doth direct to be Submiss ' neath present ; from past powers free , Marking the streams in which his actings run , Praying , thy will , O Lord , on earth be done .
