Shall (though shee now be in extreame degree [f. 56v] |
Too stonie hard, and yett too fleshly) be |
Freed by yt dropp, from being starvd, hard, or foule |
And life by this death abled, shall controule |
Death, whom thy death slue; nor shall to me |
Feare of first, or last death, bring miserie |
If in thy little booke, my name thou enroule |
Flesh in yt sleepe is not putrified |
But made that there, of wch, and for wch twas. |
Nor Can by other meanes be glorified, |
May then sinns sleepe, and death soone from me pass |
That waked from both, I againe risen may |
Salute the last, and everlasting day. |

Salute the last and everlasting daie |
Ioy at the vprising of this Sunn, & sinn |
Yea whose iust teares, or tribulation |
Have purely washt, or burnt yor drossy clay |
Behold the highest parting hence away, |
Lightens the darke cloudes, wch he treads vpon |
Nor doth he by assending, show alone, |
But first he, and he first enters the way |
Oh strong Ramm wch hast batterd heaven for me |
Milde lambe wch wth thy blood, hast markd ye path
