That I must walke the Gospell for to know 14 Then I began the English tongue to learne My vowels and my Letters for to spell And in mine yeares I somewhat could discerne How Latin writers English doe excell Who can compare with Horace Virgil and Homer which hath all vnder his command 15 In which mine yeares I many sinnes committed Through ignorance against my Soueraigne Lord All those I hope through Christ are cleane remitted As also those were done by my accord As I to knowledge afterward increased Sinning I sinn'd from sinning I nere ceased 16 But still prouokt the Lord of Hosts to ire And had no care his Statutes to obey The Stipend due for sinners is hell fire And those that from their Maker runne astray Let them be sure to feele his scourging Rod He is a iust a wise and louing God 17 The death of Sinners he doth not desire But that they would returne and follow grace It 's true repentance that he doth require That they may see his glory face to face And praise his glorious name with one accord With singing Halleluiah to the Lord. 18 My Infancie and Childhood being past My Youth and Manhood posting on with speed Still I my faults and sinnes behind me cast And would not see them vntill vtmost need Compel'd me from this wicked kinde of life Where was continuall wars and deadly strife 19 Betwixt my Spirit alwayes ready prest For Gods Seruice contrary to euill And my weake flesh continually opprest Hauing conflicts with the World and Diuell Being thus bagirt with foes on euery side Vnto thy mercy Seat I come to hide 20 My sences are inueloped in sinne The waight whereof into Hell would sinke me When on the wicked life I haue liued in And Hels torments I begin to thinke me Oh how I am perplext with griefe of minde My troubled Conscience can no comfort finde 21 With Dauid now I am enforst to crye I am a worme of men the very scorne My helpe on thee O Lord doth still relie And haue done euer since that I was borne In time of old age off doe me not cast Nor yet when strength doth faile me at the last 22 The Sabbaths which thou vnto vs dost giue Commanding vs it holy for to keepe Giuen as a signe or else wee should not liue Amongst the flocke of thy elected sheepe Who so defiles thy Sabbaths sure shall dye Wert not for mercy Lord euen so should I. 23 For I thy Sabbaths often haue prophaned And spent them vildly to thy abusing Against thy holy name I haue exclaimed Vnder colour of my faults excusing I went to Church Gods holy word to heare But was exempt from all Paternall feare 24 The subtile Serpent subtiller then the rest Of all the beasts which the Lord God did make Hee cunningly doth creepe into my brest And the good sowne seed away doth take Pleasures of Sinne also choake many seeds Which nere sprung vp puld down by vicious weeds 25 I lookt for Sundayes to no other end But take my pleasure in pastime and play In doing so I was not my owne friend The aged Counsell I would not obay But ran at pleasure to drinke and carouse In some by place or in some tipling house 26 I car'd not where if that I liquor had For to content and please my fianticke Braine I car'd not greatly where 't were good or bad If so I were in a right roring straine A roring straine yea that 's the terme we vsed Whereby Gods day and name was much abused 27 Yet in this Sinne I neuer was alone But had Copartners alwayes lesse or more For them and I and all I make great mone And pray that they nor I doe so no more Who so doth vse it let him marke me well It 's both the High-way and the Gate to Hell 28 This sinne is odious in Iehouahs sight He doth abhor the person and the Crime VVith th'instrumentall meanes that gaue them light Also the place the season and the time Yet some doe seeke this sinne for to extenuate But yet it doth the vsers life abreuiate 29 VVho hath wo babling sorrow who hath strife But those that follow wine and drinke their fill Of wine that 's mixt ohtis a drunken life To spend their dayes so wicked and so vile Let them be sure God will strike home at last Though he forbeare his anger is not past 30 With true repentance Lord I come to thee And hearty sorrowing for my former sinne In mercy Lord vouchsafe to looke on me To lead a new life now I will begin Grant me thy grace I beseech thee therefore My idle wayes I may hate and abhorre 31 Forgiue me Lord the sinnes I haue committed Against thee both in word in deed and thought Hauing done euill but the good omitted VVhich in thy sacred Scriptures thou hast taught Godly repentance worketh to saluation VVhereby wee shall be freed from condemnation 32 Forgiue me Lord for mercy now I call Blot out my sinnes no more them thinke vpon Before thy Mercy seat I prostrate fall And begge thee bury them in obliuion Mercy good Lord mercy I mercy craue Hoping throgh Christ that thou my soule wilt saue 33 Farewell all sinfull pleasures of my youth Thrice farewell to the exercise I haue vsed VVhich long hath caus'd me to erre from the truth Both God contemned and his Lawes abused Farewell I say thrice farewell and adue Too long God knowes I haue been led by you 34 For twenty yeares and vpward I haue led A wicked life displeasing vnto God On worldly vanities I haue still fed For which I doe do serue Gods scourging Rod Except his Mercy his Iustice ouercome I must expect a dismall day of Doome 35 My life was sinfull Lord I doe confesse it Spare them O Lord that doe their faults confesse As it was sinfull now I will redresse it And from those errors euer will I cease Then mercy on me take heare my complaint Of a vild Sinner make me a glorious Saint 36 Being with sinne poluted and defild Which cann't be clensed without Christ his bloud In whose sight I a Sinner am most vild Which was shed for vs all to doe vs good Yea for vs all which in time doe repent That we Gods future anger may preuent 37 There is no bondage like to that of Sinne Where neither Body nor yet minde is free To slauish seruitude we are kept in When as our Soules bereft of libertie From that bondage good Lord deliuer me That I may sing continuall praise to thee 38 My Soule from out of prison Lord then bring As Dauid prayed in like wise doe I Thy Song in a strange Land how can I sing I would bee set at freedome willingly Freedome each Creature gladly doth require And to be free from sinne is my desire 39 Three enemies we haue with all to fight Which doe incite vs euill to commit
Our head is the Receptakle of sinnes And first receiuer of vngodly deeds Yea the head Fountaine where all vice begines Vpon mans bodie greedily it feeds And like the horse-leach still doth cry giue giue Seldome forsaking men whilst they doe liue 65 Our memory with dulnesse is possest Especially in hearing of thy word For that wee seeke not which should please thee best But follow vanity with one accord We quite forsake that which being vnderstood At present time would proue our future good 66 Our eyes spectators on iniquity The gate and entrance to the inward man Delight wee take to gaze on vanity But seldome satisfied doe what we can Wee greedily desire what we doe see Longing to haue it although ill it be 67 Our eyes should be imployd to better vse The sacred Scripture with them we should read But oft we doe neglect and still refuse The way that we a godly life might lead We run the way that is composd of euill Following which path we walke vnto the Diuell 68 Our eares are open blasphemies to heare And all reuilings ' gainst Gods holy name And gainst his Christ which all our sinnes did beare To free vs from that euerlasting paine To vs belongeth both shame and confusion To which wee are led by Sathans illusion 69 Like the deafe Adder wee doe stop our eares Yea deafe and dumbe almost our selues we faine The Charmers voyce we doe refuse to heare Charme whilst he will his charming is in vaine Though he charme wisely wee don 't it respect He and his charming both wee doe neglect 70 To talke of Riches of wealth and glory To heare of newes of merriment and sport To passe our time in things transitory To this whole flocks of people will resort With great attention all will hearken to it Though it be ill actors enough to doe it 71 Our mouth the Chamber of vngodlines Our lips the Roofe which doth that hose couer Through which all emitable beastlines Proceedeth forth which doth our liues discouer And shewes the wicked life we haue liued in Which to amend wee neuer doe begin 72 Our teeth's a hedge fos that vnruly member Which do we what we can it will breake out To haue a care of him we must remember For in vaine he too fast will run about The tongue is a good member if well vsed But it 's the worst we haue if that abused 73 That godly Prophet holy Dauid sayes As with a bit he will his mouth keepe fast Looke to his tnngue take heed vnto his wayes And speake not till the wicked ones be past Yea from good words he also did refraine Although to him it was both griefe and paine 74 Scurrility we alwayes ought to flye And not with cursings once our mouthes defile All beastly idle talke and blasphemy Wee from our mouthes should vtterly exile Paul doth will vs lying to put away And each man to his neighbour truth to say 75 It s written wee a iust account must giue Of euery idle word that we doe speake But yet alas how vainly doe we liue And neuer care how we Gods Statutes breake For by our words wee iustifide shall be Or else condemn'd to liue in miserie 76 A righteous mouth is like a Well of life From the which many godly streames doe flow A wicked mouth is alwayes fild with strife Which nought but wrath and violence doth show Knowing the best the same we ought to choose And from the worst refraine and it refuse 77 Euery member of vs that 's within With wickednesse is so repleat and stuft Wee are so soone tempted vnto each sinne And with security we be so puft If we consider how we are opprest We neuer should liue quiet nor at rest 78 Sinne is a foe externall and internall Eternally heereafter it will shame And bring vs into the Lake infernall Which still doe burne in continuall flame Both soules and bodies shall be there tormented If in life time our sinnes be not repented 79 Truth thou requirest in the inward parts We should performe as much as in vs lies Create in vs both new and contrite hearts Such ones O Lord which thou wilt not despise Grant wee may be amongst the sheepe elected And not amongst the Goats to be reiected 80 Our hearts are harder then an Adamant Gods Law nor word we at no time will heare So obdurate that we cannot recant Our wicked life nor of God stand in feare We nere obey but disobey him still And doe prouoke to wrath Gods holy will 81 Yet God is iust in all that hath beene done Vnto vs sinners euery thing is right But we contemned haue God and his sonne And wickedly haue wee done in his sight Yet Lord forgiue vs our sinnes wee thee pray Thy heauy hand of Iustice from vs stay 82 Our mind so eleuated is with pride Our selfe-conceipt doth puffe vs vp on high Our equalls and inferiours we deride Against our betters oft-times we inueigh What we affect to be good we approue Though it be hurtfull yet the same we loue 83 Modesty is a bridle to raine backe This swift wingd pride swifter then a swallow Our appetite to it wee should keepe slacke For if we giue way sure it will follow If that we let it run his full Careere Ore soules and bodies it will donineere 84 What things we doe we must of it esteeme So that in it no pride at all we take Better then wee are we ought not to deeme Our selues but from all errors to awake He that thinkes himselfe wise in 's own conceit Doth like a foole fill his heart with deceit 85 Humility a curbe to keepe vs in Much like a Snaffle nay rather a Bit Which doth with-hold vs from that deadly sinne And keepe vs that we doe not it commit Who humbleth himselfe like vnto a Child Of Heauens Ioyes shall not be beguild 86 Like weaned Children we should vs behaue Haue no proud lookes nor yet no scornfull minde If that we doe intend our soules to saue These misdemeanors wee must cast behind Our smallest thoughts on it we must not spend On Elohim should all our hope depend 87 The pleasures of the flesh are manifold Yea numberlesse they cannot be accounted Which causeth all to sinne both young and old Our sinnes the sands in number haue surmounted In number more then the haires of our head Such an impious Course of life we haue led 88 Now hauing thus describ'd each seuerall sence Throughout mans body in which sinne doth raigne Which oft is coloured vnder good pretence Of godlines from which we doe refraine We take no paines nor care the Lord to serue The least of 's mercies we doe not deserue 89 We neuer thanke God for what he hath done Creating vs after his Image right And redeeming vs with Christ his deere Sonne To sanctifie vs with his holy Spirit By our workes we expect
doth cut it with his fatall knife Ofttimes in sicknesse he will some molest With terrors which are not to be exprest 116 This is the Dragon which would vs deuoure This is the Serpent which did Eue beguile This is the roring Lion which each hower This he that seekes t' insnare vs with his wile This is the father of falshood and lies The worker of our woes and miseries 117 Peter commands vs to be vigillant This deadly Aduersary to withstand Him to resist with force and to bee valiant Our soules and bodies against him to band And reunite our forces altogether Yea to defie him still we must perseuer 118 If these vngodly sinnes wee follow still And the inticers of them doe obay And follow it in Folio wee shall fill A Volume great compil'd against that day In which one good deed done will profit more Then thousands of Gold hoorded vp in store 119 And hauing seru'd these Maisters whilst we liue Farre worse then slaues by them wee are kept vnder Yet vnto them by no meanes we shall giue One inch of leaue for they are nere asunder To worke our bodies or our soules annoy They doe incite themselues both to destroy 120 Our worldly pleasures little will auaile Our fleshly lusts will nothing helpe at all Our hoorded wealth will naught at all preuaile When we are summon'd by deaths fatall call Who vncertaine yet certaine will meet vs And with Sir I arrest you it will greet vs. 121 Like a bold Sergeant with his Mase in 's fist Not to be danted for death no man feares Who can resist him then not he that list The rich mans threats nor yet the widdowes teares Hee 's vnrelenting for he neuer respects Rich poore faire foule hee all to graue deiects 122 Hee 's so impartiall that he none will spare Both young and old yea all death will surprize For fatherlesse nor Orphants he doth care Weepe whilst they will he nere regards their cryes Death is the wages that is due for sinne Which all our life time wee haue liued in 123 Certaine death will come we must expect it The time and place God hath from vs conceal'd Is 't fit for vs therefore for to neglect it Because our day of death is not reueal'd Wee should thinke on it and premeditate Before it come and our selues consolate 124 Against the time that death will vs depriue Of all this worldly pleasure wee inioy It is in vaine to withstand him or striue Against him for hee soone can vs destroy And change vs as is Gods decree we must Be turned into ashes and to dust 125 Death is the depriuation of Life Ordaind by God imposd on man for sinne A punishment which endeth all our strift Due vnto vs since Life did first begin And by the disobedience of one man Sinne entred first and death by him began 126 To seize on all the time of Adams Kace Vpon each Creature there 's not one that 's free Or can escape each one must it imbrace Yea all are subiect to Mortality Be it Emperour King Potentate or Prince Death stands not with him for to dispence 127 Two kinds of death the Scripture saies there are The first whereof is called corporall Of which each Mothers Sonne must haue a share The last and second is spirituall Ordain'd by God to be a punishment For all hard hardned hearts that don't repent 128 Of corporall death each Creature must tast Birds Fishes Beasts as well as mortall men Therefore before spirituall death it 's past As it in order first proceedeth when Corporall death of life doth vs depriue Gainst which all humane creatures still do striue 129 Betwixt Mans death and Beasts the difference After they are of vitall life bereauen The spirit of Man hath his perfect essence With the immortall God that reignes in Heauen And though mans body be dissolu'd to dust At day of Iudgement rise againe we must 130 And hauing finished death corporall Which is the depriuation of breath So that our soules may become immortall So that wee need not feare the second death That through Christ who hath bruiz'd the Serpents head Our soules may liue although our Bodies dead 131 Yet dead we are not but in Christ we sleepe Though in the ground our bodies buried be We hope thâ—ogh Christ that God our soules doth keep Who hath redeem'd vs with his blood and freed Vs from the bondage both of death and Hell That his elected might in glory dwell 132 The death of a beast now is otherwise Hee being dead his body is resolued To the first maker his soule doth arise From the temperature and is dissolued To nothing which was nothing first of all There is the end of breath and life finall 133 Spirituall dâ—ath's the totall separation Of Soule and body from the loue of Christ And from that blessed Congregation Which doe remaine aboue with God the highest Triumphantly reioyce and singing praise Lauding and blesse Gods holy name alwaies 134 Who would not then spend well in this little time That is bestowed on vs and vs lent We should haue a care to commit no crime To serue the Lord our chiefe care should be bent In prime of youth we ought to thinke on death Seeing you know not when hee 'le stop our breath 135 Perhaps it may be at this present hower When least of all wee thinke vpon our end Man withereth saith Job as doth a flower So doth Man perish and come to an end Christ which our sins did beare this salue did giue Being dead through sinne to righteousnesse to liue 136 Our youthfull dayes of iollity and pleasure Those dayes wee sacrifice vnto the diuell For Gods seruice seldome we find leasure Our lips is â—o composed of all euill That sinâ—e we doe commit whilst we haue power And nere desist from sinning day nor hower 137 But to doe euill still we doe insue All wickednesse we worke with greedinesse Each motion that is good we doe eschew Wee giue our minds vnto lasciuiousnesse With wanton pleasures we our selues deceiue And nere leaue sinning till sinne doth vs leaue 138 Death in his nature fearefull is and grim Christ by his death that feare hath rane away And with his powerfull death vanquished him That we to death triumphantly may say Death where 's thy sting and likewise to the graue No victory of vs thou now canst haue 139 Moses describes our yeares threescore and ten But few doe liue to that fewer to more So short then are the dayes of mortall men Not one to twenty liues to be foure score That godly Moses to the Lord still prayes Teach me saith he for to number my dayes 140 That holy Dauid likewise doth intreat That he the number of his dayes might know Yea earnestly these words he doth repeate As is apparant wherein he doth show To know his frailty he doth it require Which was the totall somme of his desire 141
My dayes thou hast made like vnto a span Mine age is nothing in respect of thee We must returne to dust doe what we can Euery one liuing is but vanity Like to a shadow time doth passe away Without controulement no man can him stay 142 Each day our life doth hasten to an end For wee are neerer vnto death this day Then yesterday who can with time contend Nor bostingly no man ought thus to say I certaine am to liue till to morrow The smallest moment of time who can borrow 143 Man is by Iob compared vnto grasse Which now doe flourish yet cut downe ere night Or to a shadow which apace doth passe Swifter then Eagles hastning in their flight Death still pursues men wheresoere they goe Friend to the Godly but the wickeds foe 144 Life is compar'd to things of short continuance To smoke to flowers which doe vanish soone Vnto things which are of no persistance And changeth oftner then the changing Moone Vnto a dreame or likewise vnto stubble Which fire doth burne or to a water-bubble 145 Seing mans life is so vncertaine then We need not wish long liuers for to be Being certaine death will come wee know not when And longest liuers greatest sinners be Although we liue long yet death comes at last And then amongst dead men we must be plast 146 What man is he that listeth long to liue Vnto the vtmost as Long as may be His minde to viciousnesse he must not giue If that he doe intend good dayes to see His heart vprightly he must keepe the while His tongue and lips that they do speak no guile 147 Our life 's compos'd of nought but misery In Youth in Manhood and Decrepit age Nothing attends on these but vanity Which doth the shortnesse of mans life presage Which is Compar'd to glasse that is so brittle And flyeth faster then a weauers Shittle 148 For in this life is nought but vexation Our minds and bodies are alwayes troubled Repleat with sorrow and contemplation Christs death these sorrowes all hath comforted And buried them in his deare precious blood Which is the salue that should do our soules good 149 God grant it may that we may raigne in heauen And with Jehoua sing continuall praise Of care and sorrowes wee shall be bereâ—aen If we take care to serue the Lord alwayes Which for to doe we must our selues indeauour From doing good we neuer must perseuer 150 For of wel-doing we should not be weary As wee haue sowne so wee shall reape likewise Yea in due time we shall reape and be merry If that we faint not nor Gods lawes despise We need not feare the fatall dint of death Come when it will it can but take our breath 151 Our bodies for a while may be dissolu'd And turn'd to dust and earth from whence t was tane Our soules shall liue w' are certainly resolu'd To raigne with Christ with whom they did remaine When we were in our Mothers wombe conceiued Before we were into the world receiued 152 As our soule is the vnion of life So is â—he Spirit of God the soule of ours Which cannot be diuided with deaths knife If God his Spirit into our soules once power In the Celestiall heauen we shall raigne And neuer feele the force of death againe 153 The thought of death in some will terror breed And like Belshazzar make them trembling stand At the rememberance of each thought and deed When all our enemies themselues doe band Against vs and the diuell will imploy His best indeauors our soules to destroy 154 Death to the Godly is a welcome guest And such a one as they doe long to see It being come their troubles shall haue rest And they Gods glory face to face shall see Blessed are those that in the Lord doe die From their labours they rest eternally 155 Certaine vncertaine death we must expect And at all times we must stand on our Guard No time nor moment we must once neglect Vnto our selues we must haue more regard That death at no time vnprouided catch vs And vnexpected to the graue do snatch vs. 156 In dying well God doth two things require Of euery Christian man that he should saue At these two things I greatly doe admire To see that men no greater wisedome haue But to neglect a thing of greatest good In time to come if they it vnderstood 157 The first is on death to premeditate Come whâ—n it will we may be ready for it And not deferre it till it be too late So that wee need not feare it nor abhorre it To bid death welcome we should ready be And think 't the ioyful'st day we ere shall see 158 The second thing God doth of vs require At time of death well our selues to behaue Whereby we may escape Hels burning fire And flye to Christ that he our soules may saue This wee should doe deaths vigor to preuent ' Gainst God doth come and call vs to iudgement 159 VVhilst we are liuing yet we may relent And turne from vs Gods wrath and indignation But being dead its too late to repent There is no sacrifice nor satisfaction For after death there is no change at all The tree doth lie as is at first his fall 160 And as men die they must to indgement rise To answer for those sinnes they haue committed Euen as they dyed and no otherwise They can adde nought nor ought can be omitted To think on death each man somtime should spend If that hee 'l make a sanctified end 161 As death doth leaue them so God will them finde And as hee finds them so they iudg'd shall be If to doe well they haue themselues inclin'd From all eternall woe they shall be free Certaine all must die by Gods appointment And after death all must come to iudgement 162 Nam scriptum est that we account must giue Of euery idle word we peake that 's bad In what state of condition we did liue A Redde rationem must be had Of all our sinnes we must cast vp the summe When we before Gods Iudgement seat doe come 163 The Booke laid open our offences read Before Gods face all must trembling stand Both small and great yea all that haue been dead Being summoned by Trumpets Command Blessed are they thrice blessed in their heart That in the first Reâ—urrection had part 164 Whether one talent be hid or destroy'd Vnder ground account shall be demanded To what good vse or bad it be imployed Doing Gods Seruice as we are commanded That we may goe into our Mosters ioy And vtterly be freed from all annoy 165 The Sun in that day shall be darkened quite The Firmaments of light shall be bereauâ—n The changing Moone shall not renew her light The Starres likewise shall fall downe from Heauen All mortalls hearts with feare must needs be taken When as the powers of Heauen shall be shaken
166 The Earth shall be remou'd from off her place The Ayre shall be dissolu'd to drops with heate Euery thing thus chang'd it 's a heauy case The terror of that day who can repeate It would dissolue a heart harder then Ire To behold the world in a burning fire 167 This is a day of wrath and wearinesse A day of Clouds and of thicke gloominesse A day of desolation and distresse A day of trouble and of wastinesse This day will put the stoutest heart to feare Maugre his force in it he must appeare 168 Before the Iudgement seat of Iesus Christ For to receiue the guerdion for their hire If it be good they shall raigne with the highest If otherwise they are fit for Hell-fire Fewell for Gods wrath to be tormented Because in life their sinnes were not repented 169 Iude Iames his Brother likewise tels vs plaine That the Angels which kept not their estate Their first estate but follow'd pleasures vaine Their Habitation they left desolate In euerlasting chaines he them reserues Against the Iudgement day as they deserues 170 In what place will the sinner then apeare No place is left for him himselfe to hide When God in Iudgement begins to draw neere Before whose Iustice he cannot abide With all his power he will crye and call And wish that mountaines on him then would fall 171 And hide them from the face of him that sitteth Vpon the Throne and from the angry Lambe Being a Iudge all feare to him befitteth To him that before Abram was I am Before his face all men must trembling stand Like Belshazzer summond by trumphs command 172 The signe of the Sonne of Man shall appeare In the Cloudes comming with power and glory Who will astonish all mens hearts with feare What will profit this life transitory Each creature for feare shall be forlorne And all the Tribes of the earth then shall mourne 173 In an instant God will his Angels send With Trumpets sound to gather his Elect From the foure corners of the earth hee 'l send Legions of Angels to call his Elect This Iudgement 's generall we must surmise All graues must open all dead must arise 174 And all before the Iudge must be presented Rich poore young old persons are not respected Twice happy are those that their sinnes repented But treble woe to those that it neglected The ioyes of one shall nere be deceiued The others torments cannot be conceiued 175 This is a time of trouble and Vexation A time of griefe of sorrow and of paine A time of anguish and desolation A time that former time will not regaine One hower the worth of thousands will surmount Of howers dayes years we now make no account 176 A separation of Goates from the sheep Sheepe on the right hand Goates on left being placd With mercy and iustice God will iudgement keepe In no wise he will haue his Saints disgrac'd Each one shall shine farre brighter then the Sun Being so decreed by God it must be done 177 Vnto the sheepe with ioy the Lord shall say Come yee blessed of my Father inherit The Kingdome that 's prepar'd for you for aye Because in life time you the same did merit You cloath'd me naked hungry you me fed And if not me poore Brethren in my stead 178 Vnto the goates the Lord will say in 's ire Yee workers of iniquity depart Goe yee cursed into erelasting fire I doe hate and abhorre you with my heart I being hungry you no meate me gaue And in my Kingdome you no share shall haue 179 What ioy and sorrow will be vttered then The iust to goe singing continuall praise That they shall raigne with God who were but men In the fellowship of Angels alwayes Continually with prayses there to sing Vnto the Lord both earth and heauens King 180 Oh endlesse Ioy that doth all Ioy containe Oh happy hauen whose harbor is ease Oh place of rest for to be freed from paine Oh fruitfull tree that fruit dost neuer lack Oh place delightfull which shall neuer cease Oh Blest hauen that nere sufferest wracke 181 Euen as their Ioyes be innumerable So in likewise the wicked are in paine They suffer torments insupportable And nere shall be at ease nor rest againe A terrible woe against them is denounst When as the sentence goe is once pronounc'd 182 Woe be to them they still shall liue in paine Woe vnto them they torments shall indure Woe to them they shall nere be freed againe Woe to their sinnes for they did this procure Wo be to them and woe be to vs all For sinning thus we bring our soules in thral 183 Now that we may leaue sinning God grant grace That in the highest heauens we may raigne There to behold Jehouahs shining face In that celestiall place still to remaine There we shall praise his name with one accord With singing Halleluiah to the Lord.
