lines thy might may shyne From drosse of sinne my spr'ite refine raise from the earth my thought 3 But why thus pants thou in my breast Affrighted soule deprivde of rest What sudden feares thy joyes molest what jarres disturbe thy peace Why tremblest thou with terrours prest To heare that fearefull doome exprest By that great Judge who euer blest is just as full of grace 4 Heere pause a space My Soule acquent Thy selfe this judgement to prevent No moment of our time is spent which thither doth not lead The dangers seene which doe torment Thy troubled minde with discontent gainst them let fervent sutes bee sent Jmmunitie to plead 5 Haste haste my Soule shake off delay Which too much of thy time makes prey Lay vp provision for that Day there boldlie to arriue Where Reprobats accurst for

mates in miserie calde foorth to bee combynd Not for reciprocall supplie As friends new joynde in amitie But neuer dying aye to die in quenchlesse flammes confynde 7 Deaths loathsome den detested Jayle Scout following sin with stretched sayle Which fleeting froaths which pleasures fraile On Rocke of shipwrack led Maske of mischiefe sins slender vaile Good Motions euer bent to quaile Which in the birth thou didst assaile Them burying as they bred 8 Wretch who to pamper dust didst doate Whom Hell attends with open throate Readie to retribute the lote to thy deservings due Oh! what hath violate deaths knot That still in graue thou didst not rot Masse overspred with sins foule spot raisde anguish to renue 9 Thus too too late the Soule shall rayle Re-entring this abhorred Iayle Which recombynd while both bevaile Lifes misgoverned raines Then Angels shall to Judgement haile There whence no party can appeale To heare deathes sentence countervaile Lyfes Ioyes with endlesse paines 10 O wretch who Judgement heere delayes Whom false securitie betrayes Who ne're thy Sins blacke summe surveyes which future anguish breedes Then shall the Auncient of dayes Who all mens works in ballance

who thy pathes did trace attend thy woefull lote Before thee flamms Earths frame deface Aboue an angrie Judges face Below Thee gaping to embrace Hells sulphure-smoking throat 17 Thy feares shall bee with cryes encrest Of damned Soules with anguish prest With greife with horrour vnexprest of due deserved ire The fyre-brands of a conscious brest Shall of thy terrours not bee least While worms which on thy conscience feas● thy easlesse paine conspire 18 But when most like a thunder dart That separating doome Depart Pronounc'd shall pierce thy panting heart with a most fearefull knell Which shall thee from Gods presence part Exposde to torments that impart Nor end of time nor ease of smart while headlongs hurld in hell 19 Their shalt thou dive in depthes profound Still sinke but never meete a

content Robt were the Earth Sea Firmament Mongst soules which penurie torment There famine Thee doth meete 24 Vile wormeling Thou whose tender pride The weakest Sunshine scarce couldst byde There plungde in this impetuous tyde must feele the force of fire Where damned soules on every syde Howling and roaring still abyde Which finde no shelter them to hyde from this eternall ire 25 There the Ambitious who in skies Did late on wax-joynde winges arise Of base contempt is made the pryse the Proudling pestred downe There Dives who did earst despise Of famisht soules the piercing cries Shall one cold drop of water pryse aboue a Monarches crowne 26 Loe there the vile licentious Goate Whom lawlesse lust did ●arst besotte Enchainde in the embracements hotte of furious raging flames There to the drunkards parched throate Justice doth scrotching drought allote In floods of fire which judgde to floate still vaine refreshment claimes 27 On Covetous on cruell wight Shall equall weight of vengeance light With byting vsurie with spight the poore ones who did presse So to the remnant that did fight 'gainst heauens decrees their conscience light Gods wrath shall bee proportionde right by
