A most Godly and comfortoble ballad of the Glorious Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ how he triumpheth over Death Hell and Sin whereby we are certainly perswaded of our rising againe from the dead The tune is Rogero WHat fuithless froward sinfull man so far from grace is fled That doth not in his heart belive the rising of she dead Or why do wicked mor●all men their lives so vainly frame Which being dead they do suppose they shall not rise againe For why if that the dead indéed which now consuming lyes Shall not by God be rais'd again then Christ did never rise And if so be our Saviour swéet did not rise from the death Our preaching is of no efect and vaine is hope on Earth If Christ rose not again I say then are we yet in sin And they that fall asléep in him no part of joy shall win Of all the creatures living then which God on earth did frame Most wretched are the states of men which spend their daies in vaine But Christ is risen up from dead as it was right and meet And thereby trod down death and hel and sin under his feet And that the same to simple men the plainer might appear The gracious rising of the Lord his word declareth cleare When he within the grave was laid the Iewes did watchmen set Lest by his friends his corps from thence should secretly be sent A mighty stone likewise they did on his sepulchre role And all for fear his body should away from thence be stole But in the dead time of the night a mighty earth-quake came The which did shake both Sea and Land and all within the same And then the Angel of the Lord came down from heaven so high And rol'd away the mighty stone which on the Grave did lye The second part of the same tune HIs face did shine like flaming fire his Clothes were white as snow Which put the watch men in great fear who ran away for wo And told unto the High Priest plain what I do now rehearse Who hired them for many streight that they would hold their peace And say quoth he his Servants came which he sometimes did kéep And secretly stole him away while we were found asléep And if that Herod hear thereof we will perswade him so That you shall find no hurt at all where ever you do goe But faithful Mary Magdalen and James his Mother too had brought great store of oyntment swéet as Iesus were wont to do Who rose up early in the morne before that it was day The body of the Lord t' noynt in Grave whereas he lay And then unto the Grave they ran they were in wondrous fear They saw a Young-man in the same but Christ they saw not there Then said the Angel unto them why are you so at ●aid The Lord whom you do séek I know is risen up he said Then went the women both away who told these tydings then To John and Peter who in hast to the sepulchre ran Who found it as the woman said and then away did go But Mary stayed wéeping still whose tears declar'd her wo Who looking down into the Grave two Angees there did sée Quoth they why wéeps this women so even for my Lord quoth she And turning then her self aside as she stood wéeping so The Lord was standing at her back but him she did not know Why doth this woman wéep he said whom séekes shée in this place She thought he had a Gardner béen and thus she she wo her case If thou hast born him hence she said then tell me where he is And for to fetch him back againe besure I will not misse What Mary then our Saviour said dost thou lament for me O Master livest thou againe my soul doth joy in thée O Mary touch me not he said ere I have been above Even with my God the onely God and Father whom we love And often times did Christ appeare to his Disciples all But Thomas would not it believe his Faith it was so small Except that he might thrust his hand into the wound so wide And put his finger where the Speare did pierce his tender side Then Christ which knew all secrets to them againe came he Who said to Thomas here I am as plainly thou mayest sée Sée here the hands which nailes did pierce and holes are in my side And be not faithless O thou man for whom these paines I bide Thus sundry times Christ shewd himself when he did rise againe And then ascended into Heaven in Glory for to raigne Where he prepaires a place for those whom he shall raise likewise To live with him in heavenly bliss above the lofty Skeyes FINIS Printed for F.
