| 6 Resurrection |
|
| Moyst with one drop of thy Bloud, my dry soule [23] |
| Shall (though shee bee now in extreme degree |
| Too stony hard, and yet too fleshly) bee |
| Freed by that drop from beeing sterud, hard, or foule |
| And life, by thy death abled, shall controule |
| Death, whome thy death slew. Nor shall now to mee |
| ffeare of first or last death bring misery |
| If in thy life booke my name thou enrolle, |
| fflesh in that last long Sleepe's not putrifyd |
| But made that, there, of wch, and for wch. twas. |
| Nor can by other meanes bee purifyd*: |
| May then Sinns sleepe and Death soone frō mee passe |
| That, wak'd from both, I, agayne risen, may |
| Salute the last and everlasting day. |
|
| 7 Ascension |
|
| Salute the last and everlasting day |
| Ioye at the vprise of this Sunne and Sonne |
| Yee whose true Teares or Tribulation |
| Hath purely washd, or burnt yor drossy clay. |
| Behold! The Highest, parting hence away, |
| Lightens the darke clouds wch. hee treads vpon |
| Nor doth hee by ascending shew alone |
| But first hee, and hee first enters the way. |
| O strange Ram̄ wch. hast batterd heauen for mee |
| Mild Lamb wch. with thy bloud hast markt the path |
| Bright Torche w.ch shin'st that I the waye might See |
| Oh with thine owne bloud quench thine owne iust wrath |
| And if thy Holy Spirit my Muse did rayse |
| Daigne at my hands this Crowne of power* and prayse
