Their guilt in every thing to free,
As they did cast their guilt on ME,
And so upon the woman there?
But now the woman's come to clear,
I say, herself of every guilt,
And on the man shall now be felt,
That he by arts deceiv'd her here,
And see if he himself can clear.
I tell thee it can't be by man-
The Trial Pomeroy cannot stand,
To cast the blame upon thy head;
For wrong like Adam all is laid,
Because on thee he cast his fall;
But I do answer now to all,

The Fall of him ne'er came from thee,
Which in the end they all will see;
And so I say of Adam's Fall,
I suffer'd wrong come all from Hell;
But by the judgment Man did draw,
I did submit, you all do know,
And Satan shall submit the same;
So men no more the woman blame,
For I shall end it by these two,
The Man and Woman in your view;
And then I ask which Men will free,
If they do prove the blame's in he,
To cast it on the Woman's head,
Then on the Serpent it must be laid;
For here's the ending of the Fall-
The Type stands deep, I tell you all,
If you the mystery can but see,
'Tis deep of Pomeroy and of thee.
But in the Woman now I'm come,
For to condemn the Fall of Man;
Or else I say the Fall to clear-
Let Man confess that he did err,
And then the tempter shall be bound,
And own his guilt must now be found,
He did tempt the Woman and the Mais,
For so by arts he laid his plan;
And so he did tempt the Woman first,
Then on the Man he strong did burst,
To have him cast his blame on ME.
But now the ending all shall see,

The Type of Pomeroy here goeth deep; Though in thy heart for him thou'st weep, But now I tell thee weep no more, If thou thy Saviour dost adore; Cast off the veil that stands between, Let no man have the heart of thine, That now to mockery all will turn; But let them know thy LORD is come In all his POWER to appear: His honour thou dost wish to clear, And by thy MASTER now thou'lt stand, Though thou dost grieve for fallen man;

SATAN'S ARTS IN THE FALL MADE TOCAST HIM. 253

But if his fall he'll not deplore,
bid thee for to grieve no more,
Till he his folly do repent,
And say his mind is fully bent
To know wherein the fault doth lie;
If that the calling 's from on High,
Then 'tis himself that he must blame,
And so the tempter he will shame.
So here's the Trial at the last,

Thou knowest they judg`d the Woman first.
And from the Serpent did her free,
And said the fault came all from he;
And now they judge her with the Mau,
Which of the two they most condemn :
So if they free her from the two,
The Fall of Man, you all must know,
Must be turn'd back on Satan's head,
And I, the advocate, must plead;
r Satan first did work in Man,
ME and the Woman to condemn, ·
That on his head it might not appear.
The Type goeth deep; no man can clear
How I these shadows all brought round,
To prove the Fall in every sound;
By Satan's arts came all at first,
Though in the Woman he did burst,
Yet in the Man he burst the same,
I say, on ME to cast the blame;
And so in Pomeroy he did come,
To make him then his Lord condemu;
But when the truth that I do clear,
Then Pomeroy he may stand in fear:
And then the Abels I shall free,
That do stand out in love to ME.
So here's a Type stands deep for Man;
A simple way the Fall began,
And so a simple way shall end;
To bring it round was my intend,
I tell you all, a simple way:
Like the beginning this doth lay,
'Twas for a simple thing at first,
You say, that Adam he was cast;
But yet you know he disobey'd,
And brought my words upon his head,
That I in honour could not clear;
And now the same I answer here,
How can my honour ever stand,

To say that I direct thy hand,
And unto Pomeroy bid thee go,
That he the truth might see and know?

I bid thee put it in his hand,

Then sure the Trial he must stand,
Or fataller now than Adam's Fall

If he refuse his every call;
Because, in honour as a man,
If he thy writings can condemn,

[ocr errors]

In justice he must now appear

To prove the truth was never clear.
If he his honour now will free,
He's compass'd round, I now tell thee,
To act in honour as a man;

Therefore the Trial he must stand.
But if the calling is from God,

He'd hide himself, it must be know'd,
Because he wish'd not to appear:

His nakedness he'll now see clear,

How he is naked now to all;

The Woman hath brought on his Fall,
And this is done by my command,
And so the Trial he must stand,
Then he shall fall to rise again,
If he come forward to contend
It is the Woman caus'd his Fall,
And prove his honour clear in all,
Before the Woman he betray'd;
And now she'th cast it on his head,
And so his honour here is lost;
But when the truth to him doth burst,
He'll find his honour rise more high
Than e'er before it here did lie,
And see his standing more secure
Than 'twas before for to endure;
Because his standing is by ME
The Woman's innocence shall free
The every fall that is in Man,
That now the Trial bold will stand;
So thou of Pomeroy grieve no more;
Canst thou believe thy God is here,
And will not justify the man?
If to the Trial he do come,
And there confess his every guilt,
The way at first his fears he felt,
Then I will surely free the man;
In Adam's fall he now doth stand,
By Satan's arts that then were near,
And so like Adam he did fear;
As he was weaken'd by his fall,
He hath no strength to stand at all,
Till by my power I raise him up;
Sa do not fear that he will drop,
Because that I shall raise him so,
In passions strong he'll see and know,
And jealousy I shall alarm,
And he shall fear that I do warn.
So now in peace thy soul possess,

And comfort now thy troubled breast,

But sure thy sorrows I work'd so,

That men from thee might see and know
What sorrows I do feel for all

That now reject my every call.
So here of Pomeroy I shall end-

Deep are the lines that thou hast penn'd,

TYPES OF THE FALL CONTINUED.

I tell you, deep as none can see
The Type of Pomeroy and of thee:
A thing that I did first ordain
To bring the Fall now back on men;
And when that men do see it clear
They must confess the Man did err,
To blame his MAKER at the first,
As Satan's subtle arts did burst
Upon the Woman at that time,
And Man as weak they all must find,
As he was tempted so to fall-
And now let Pomeroy judge the call:
And so from Pomeroy I'll go on;
He stands a Type to every man,
Because his honour I'll not clear,
Till he confess his Lord is here:
And so I say of every man,
Their honour I shall all condemn,
As men condemn'd the honour here
Of those that see the calling clear,
Because their honour men judge lost,
And proud against them they do boast
And now as proudly I shall come,
For to condemn the ways of man,
That did begin to cause the Fall,
Or say the honour's gone from all
That did believe thy every word;
They'll find the honour of a God
Will now their every honour clear.
Two ways you say the Woman here
Hath took the honour all from man,
Because my friends they here do stand,
Like fools and mad-men they are plac'd,
The way the world in wisdom burst;
And so the Woman caus'd their fall,
For so you know they're judg'd by all;
Judg'd in all folly to appear,
And so you see their fall is here,
Plac'd by the Woman to be cast,
And so the Fall they say doth burst
Upon them by the Woman's hand;
But here's a Trial none can stand,
As all her foes are fallen the same,
And she their conduct great doth blame,
Which they by wisdom cannot free.
Then now, blind mortals, answer ME,
Why you your honour do not clear?
You say two ways you're fallen here;
Those that believe fall by her hand,
(For so they're judged now by man)
And those that don't believe at all,
You must confess that great's their fall,
If they their honour cannot clear.
Then now I bid you answer here,
Which of the two you judge to fall,
He that can stand and boldly call

255

The Trial forward to appear?
Or he that saith "I cannot clear
"The charges laid before my view;
"I must confess the whole is true?"
Then boldly tell ME who doth fall?
It is the honour, I tell all,

That now must free the Fall of Man,
And say that boldly he can stand
To say the Woman he obey'd,

As in my Bible it is said

That she her Promise there should claim

For by it I shall Man redeem.

When I do bruise the Serpent's head,
Then Man's redemption I shall plead,
And so the Woman hath begun
To plead the Promise made for Man,
And yet you say that she must fall;
Then now my Bible I do call

To prove that you have plac'd it wrong;
Or else, like Pomeroy, you do burn
The words are plac'd before your view,
Because you will not own them true;
But I shall come and compass round,
As in thy musing thoughts thou'st found
A way herein to compass all-

Thy friends can't fly; thy foes must fall;
And so the Trial all must stand.

I'll own thou'st prov'd the Fall of Man; But as thou'st brought it round by ME, The Fall of Man I'll surely free.

That now comes forth to prove thy word,
They'll prove their Fall came from the Lordy
Because that they did ME deny,

"Phey'll prove their Fall came from on high;
But those that do believe thy word,
They'll know their standing's from the Lord,
And say I'm come to free the Fall,
My Bible's true, they'll prove to all,
Till every one is compass'd round,
As in thy musing thoughts were found
A way,
say, to compass here,

And so the ending will appear;
Because I say, I compass so,

I've left no way for men to go

Their every folly for to free,

That mock the calling now of thee;
But I'll go on to mock them all,

Till down their haughty pride shall fall
And then, I say, I'll raise them up
When that I see their pride to drop.
For so their ending must appear:
The rise and fall of Man is here;
Because that men I shall raise up,
That now will fall and humbly hope
Like my believers at the first,
I'm çome to clear the Fall at last,
