did fall The teares of pitty quoth the Iewes Oh see How deere he lou'd affection this must be Being come vnto the deads mans house the graue He bad remoue the stone from off the caue Quoth Martha Lord he loathsome will be found For lying all this time within the ground Did I not say sayd Christ this instant hower If thou hast faith thou shalt behold Gods power Then they remoue the stone which on him lyes While vnto heauen Iesus lifts his eyes And God the Father thankfull glorified Then with a loud voyce Lazarus he cri'd Come forth at which life-giuing breath and sound The dead arose being in graue clothes bound His hands and feet a napkin on his face Amazing all with wonder were in place To see a man restor'd to life againe That did with death foure dayes in graue remayne Committed to corruptions rotten roome There to haue rested till the day of doome This sight put all beholders in great feare And many Iewes that came with Mary there Beleeu'd on Iesus giuing God the prayse Whose onely power the dead to life did rayse When all those glorious Lampes adorne the skie Were hid with sable cloudes from mortall eye And euery creature hauing vitall sprite Mourn'd at the darkenesse of blacke vgly night Perditions child whom Sathan did insence Bribed against his Lord with thirty pence The way by night with armed troupes he tooke To meete his Master towards Cedron brooke Where comming to him giues all hayle and kisse To make him knowne vnto the Iewes by this When Peter saw the villany intended His Lord most traytrous to be apprehended He champion-like did thinke to fight it out And drew his sword and valiant lay'd about With such a manly resolution than He made a crop-eare of the High-Priests man And wounded Malcus which when Iesus saw He thus reprou'd rashnesse in him to draw Put vp thy sword into the sheath againe Who therewith woundeth shall therewith be slaine By Prayer downe from my Father I could call More then twelue Legions Spirites Angelicall But how shall then the Scriptures be fulfilde As God hath in eternall counsell wilde Then Iesus healed Malcus eare so sound That there appear'd no signe of any wound With Miracle with them preuay'ld no more Then striking all vnto the ground before VVhich onely but demaunding whom they sought All falling backwards to the earth were brought No flames of lightning to amaze withall No bolts of thunder to procure them fall But that most powerfull word that spake and made Vnto this band of armed souldiers sayde Whom looke you for at which as men strooke dead They fell at once yet hardned had no dread When the most iust vniust was doom'd to dye Expos'd by Pylate to Iewes cruelty With whips tormented and by sinners scornes Reuiled spit vpon and crownd with thornes Buffeted blinded and compel'd to beare The Crosse which Christians for their badge do weare When all his sences suffre'd for the sinne Which Adams sences had offended in Whose sight did like the fruit which was forbidden For which Christs sight was blinded and eyes hidden And for his touch that to take hold consented Christs feeling was with whips and nayles tormented His smell that to the rest did liking lincke At Golgotha was choak'd with lothsome stincke His hearing that did Eues bad counsell chuse Brought Christ to heare the raylings of the Iewes His taste which eating he did sinne withall Made Iesus taste of vineger and gall When all these great and grieuous paines were ended And Spirit to his Father recommended When that great darknesse neuer seene before From sixe to nine obscur'd the earth all ore Extinguishing the sunne dayes golden eye Because that day the sonne of God did dye Wonders were wrought that did mēs harts confound The temples vayle from top vnto the ground Was rent quite thorow to beholders feare Which saw that Curtaine admirable teare The sollid hardest flint and marble stones Vnder whose massie burden ground-worke grones Diuiding cleaue and into pieces fall Which were supporters to the strongest wall And monuments that in them did containe Flesh made of clay turning to dust againe The Sepulchres of Saints that resting lay From all their labours on this nere like day Did open and deliuer liue with breath The bodies were receyued dead from death In such a true perfection found and showne As if mortality they nere had known Within the holy City they appeare To manifest Gods mighty power more cleere Vnto Beholders eyes many did see Their resurrection from the dead to be Like that which when the Angels trumpe doth call Shall cause a rising vnto life of all That euer in this world since world began Haue been the ofspring of the first made man When the Centurion with his armed guard Which were the men for bloud death prepar'd Beheld the fearefull wonders that were wrought And how gainst nature things to passe were brought Day turn'd to ●ight darkned before theyr eyes The graues to open and the dead arise The vayle diuide the 〈…〉 mbling earth to quake The cleauing stones how they in sunder brake Both Captaine and his cursed crue confesse VVith inward terror of soules guiltinesse That Iesus which by Iudas trechery VVas false betray'd vniust condemn'd to dye By wicked Pylate and by their misdeed His precious wounds were opened wide to bleed VVas Gods most true and deere and onely son And hell was due for what their sins had done FINIS
