WHither away? Pray what is that to you? Unless the Poet is turn'd Watchman too. What turned Antick now to stand i'th' street, And frighten Children with thy winding-sheet? What phrenzie seiz'd thy pate, thy crowing brains, To domineer thus in licentious strains? 'Cause we are gone into the Country, you Must have your Wits go a Wool-gath'ring too. Because we on the Sea of Safety float, You needs must have an Oar too in our Boat? What? can't you let your City Tradesmen rest, But must bespatter them; foul your own Nest. If some (not to return) are gone astray; Such as you shew'd them heretofore the way. Of which some persons had just cause you'll find: Yet to the Poor they left their purse behind. But how so pious all o'th' sudden? How? Wer't guilty e're of a Religious Vow? Strong Faith thou hast indeed, confess I must, Thy daily meat and drink is all on trust. Our diffidence you blame: What will you do If Countrey-Calves do not come up to you? Pray God you do not before next December, Make to yee Idols of good belly-timber. Some did conclude, when this Plague did begin, 'Twas for the City, not the Kingdoms Sin, For Judgments come, where Sinners swarm so much, And good men oft participate with such: Wherefore (saith God) hide thee, shut thy door fast, Until the Indignation be o'repast. This Scripture's truth itself you can't deny. If God bids hide, why may not we then fly? Alas, we think not (vainly) to flie God, But Sinful places which call down his Rod. All one's the City, or the Countrey-aire, For this we know, that God is ev'rywhere. We not the Place, but sinful men eschew; We're gone to purge ourselves from Sin and you. Malicious Sinner! wherefore would you have Us stay? To be your Chamber-mates i'th' Grave. Isa. 26. 20
Just as of late 'twas told me of a Whore, That had the pestilential running sore. Yet in that case did tempt one o that fact. I blush to name, who dy'd i'th' very act. Within two hours another man did come; But God preserv'd him from the formers doom. Going about to kiss her, out she cry'd, O God! O God! And so fell down and dy'd. You'ld have us stay. Alas, what can we do? We lose ourselves by off'ring help to you. We Charity would show, and it shall come To you, but let it first begin at home. Your Souls Physicians, and your Bodys too Are gone (you say) and bid you both adiew: Good reason why; th' one saw your flinty hearts Would not be pierced by the Scriptures darts. Tho' lab'ring drops ran down their cheeks with pain, These suppl'd not your souls, they preach't in vain. Ye left the Church, as if Infection's fear Had been the cause that you would come not there: And this is shameful, as 'tis very sad, Pews were the most of Auditors they had. Of those should come to Church, not one in ten; But six besides the Clerk to say Amen. For leaving God and them (I dare not say) God hath left you by calling them away. Physicians well may leave you too impure; The cause is hid to them, they cannot cure. No better Antidote then flight (they think) When Waters can't preserve, nor diet-drink: Their Applications can't avail, it must Be Prayers in Faith that ransoms man from dust. O do not then Particulars condemn; The fault's in all, in Parsons, Tradesmen, Them. Pray look aright then, and let not your Mind Or Reason by your Fancy be purblind. For 'tis not Flight or staying that doth save From Death, when God hath marked out our Grave. I, fuge, nam poteris tutior esse foras.
