he askt me if I loued him Thrice I confest and three times I replyde Thou knowest my God my loue to thee is firme And meete it was that thrice I should replie I loued him whom thrice I did denie Full fortie daies did Christ on earth remaine After his glorious rising from the dead Shewing himselfe to his Disciples plaine In most familiar manner breaking bread When all was done his Godhead had intended Most suddainely the bright heauens he ascended In faire Bethania did he leaue vs all While blessing vs with his aboundant grace He was tane vp with power maiesticall A glorious cloude his body did imbrace We gazing after did his power adore Whom Heauen inclosde and we beheld no more On right hand of the fathers brightest cleare In glory great he sitteth euery hower Till in the cloudes he shall againe appeare To iudge the world by his eternall power Lord send our soules to that most blessed place To see the splendor of Iehouahs face Our mightie God as Daniel plaine doth shew In throne doth sit the Sheepe from Goats to cull His raiment all more white then winters snow His siluer hayre like to the purest wooll His seate bright shining like a fierie flame And thousand thousands for to serue him came God make vs seruants to so great a Lord To know his mercie and admired loue Whose praise all Angels sing with one accord By whom all earthly creatures liue and moue With him is life that neuer shall decay Soules perfect ioy doth in his presence stay The wounded heart by hatefull sinne misled His grace doth cure and makes for euer sound The bitter teares that contrite sinners shed Within his citie is preseru'd and found Sinne death nor hell cannot that soule destroy Whom this most mighty Lord preserues for ioy For he will lay it in a bed of peace And lap it round with ioy on euery side Where is no sorrow mourning shall surcease No cause of griefe shall in that place abide It is a kingdome fraught with all delight Such as no heart can thinke no pen can write No tribulation of this mortall life No smart no sorrow that can happen here No torment torture no heart-killing strife Is worthie of the ioy prepared there Then come all griefes that euer eye did see From loue of Christ they shall not sep'rate mee If I doe suffer for Christ Iesus name His dearest Saints haue been as fore afflicted Some sawne asunder some on suddaine slaine Imprisoned stoned and extreamely whipped But yet most blest were they though pained so Heauen is their meede where is no taste of woe And thither is our Sauiour gone before For vs a glorious kingdome to prepare Where we shall liue and raigne for euermore In heauenly pleasure passing all compare Then feare no foes to them it is damnation But vnto vs a signe of sure saluation For why this is a doctrine firme and sure Worthie of all men to be still imbraced Christ came on earth the sinfull soule to cure To saue all such whom Sathan hath disgraced And when we end this life so transitorie We shall be crownde with euerlasting glorie Then Peter cease thy ouer-mournfull dittie In highest heauens remaines thy greatest treasure And with Saint Iohn describe that holy Cittie Which is the pallace of eternall pleasure Where Angels dwell and Saints all clothed be In purest white with palmes of victorie All pau'd with golde are those Celestiall streets With precious stones and Diamonds enterlaced Twelue gates of pearles call'd Margarets The wals foundation preciouslie is placed With Chalcedon Em'rald Birle Topaz Iasper Chrisolet Sardonex Amthest and Sapher Christ in this heauenly Citie is the light In midst whereof his glorie doth appeare There needs no sunne for there is neuer night And from his seate descends a riuer cleare Whose precious springs with christall streames are rife The bankes all set with trees of lasting life Into this Citie enters none at all But such as are within the booke of life No discord no aduersitie doth fall No sinne no shame no sorrow paine or strife Among those soules which there so blessed be Nor ought that tasteth of mortalitie But there is ioy and mirth without all sadnes Rest without labour gaine without all losse Health without pain abundance ioynde with gladnes Life without death and cleannesse without drosse All ioy vnspeakable in Gods most glorious sight Where Saints and Angels sing both day and night O ioy of ioyes ioy without all measure Where Saints doe bathe in euerlasting blisse And swim in streames of euer during pleasure Where all the hoast of noble Martyrs is Where Abraham Isaacke and all Patriarkes be Singing sweete Alleuia's of eternitie Mirth to the heart and musicke to the eares Is the fruition of Gods sacred sight Health to the soule and ioy for bitter teares And to the grieued conscience sweet delight The crowne of saints the diademe of grace Whose powrefull deitie rules in euery place O when shall I beholde this heauenly sight When shall I heare my blessed Sauiours voyce When shall I enter in this glorious light When shall my soule on Syon hill reioyce Most mightie Lord protector of my will Let me sing Himnes vpon thy holy hill Let all sicke soules laden with extreme sinne Come vnto Christ in faith and trembling feare Feare ioynde with loue though they haue dazeled bin Christ on the Crosse did all offences beare And then will he by his imperiall might Blot their transgressions cleane out of his sight Stand stedfast man and striue thou to attaine That high immortall Crowne of puritie Till death approach still faithfull doe remaine So shalt thou finde Heauens true felicitie Most glorious God oh heare my mournefull cryes With wings of mercie wipe my watrie eyes And so let all relenting sinners say With faith and hope in this vnstable state With trust in God driue damnd dispayre away And so come boldlie to Gods mercie gate In christian armour wrestle striue and venter Vntill thy soule the blissefull citie enter Wher's full fruition of thy soules saluation Where holy Angels still doe sing and laude Where Saints shall triumph at thy blest crownation And all the heauenly court thy ioyes applaude Warrant this Lord free vs from Sathans den Forget forgiue sweet Iesus say Amen FINIS Matth.
