10 A Banner he hath to display, A white Flag he puts out, To see if Sinners will submit, Whose Courage seems so stout.
11 If they will not lay down their Arms, And with him make their peace, Then let them tremble, they shall see Incensed wrath increase.
12 And out his bloody Flag will go, No quarter will he give, But down they fall both great and small, And Vengeance shall receive.
The second Part. 1 Woe, woe to all ungodly ones, Who are his bitter Foes; But happy are all Friends of his, And such who with him close. 2 Fear not, ye Saints, this Man of war Is always on your side, And in your quarrel he'll appear, And equally divide 3 To every man his own just Right, And Zion's Cause he'll plead, ⟨p. 17⟩And will destroy the cursed Whore That long has flourished. 4 Put hark again, for you must know, God's patience near is gone, A warning piece he has let off, The Battle is begun. 5 O sing, ye Saints, God is come forth, An alarm he does sound, The Trumpets blow, and it is heard In every quarter round. 6 The Beast and cursed Babylon, Amazed are to hear What God in England te has done, But stranger things draw near. 7 God forth is coming with a shout, Sing praises, sing praises, He will all his Enemies rout, And gd mens hope it raises.
