Wither, George (1588-1667)

THE TWO INCOMPARABLE GENERALISSIMO'S of the world, with their Armies briefly described and embattailed, visibly and invisibly opposing each other.

The dark Lantern,

WESTROW REVIVED.

AN IMPROVEMENT Of Imprisonment, Into Real Freedom; Of Disgrace, Into Honest Reputation; Of Poverty, Into Perdurable Riches; Evidenced in a few Crums & Scraps Lately found in a PRISONERS-BASKET AT NEVV GATE;

A Hallelujah, alluding to the 150 Psalm.

Sigh for the Pitchers:

[GOD's Promises and Threatnings, unto all]

GOD's Promises and Threatnings, unto all
Predicted are, with a Conditional
Express or Tacit; and (although they seem
Pronounced absolutely, at some time)
May be reversible according to
Our Faith, and acting what we ought to do:
For, we are taught by many Presidents,
That, like Proceedings will have like events,
Till somewhat interveneth to dispense
Judgment and Mercy with a difference.
Most part of what this Author did predict,
Hath variously already took effect:
And, if ought is deferred, or abated,
Of that which was by him prognosticated
Against this Generation, or this Place,
'Tis meerly an effect of GOD's free-grace,

By him vouchsafed, for their sakes, by whom
A seed must be preserv'd till he shall come,
Whose coming, & whose reign will put an end
To all their sufferings, who for him attend
In faithful patience, and he will enable
To bear mean while, what seems intolerable.
