this hid delight The lame shall leape proportionde right the dumb● Gods praises sound 54 Caught vp when on immortall wings To aire this stage which ouerhings To meete thy Head the Saints who brings to

Center of repose How shall the pleasures of this day Adorning Thee with rich array Thy suffred labours all allay afflictions all compose 58 What boundlesse Ocean of delight Shall quench all paines all passed plight Endured wrongs digested spight of tyrannizing pride By Angels Messengers of light When brought in thy Redeemers sight Set free from deathes eternall night adjudg't in blesse to byde 59 When large Memorials shall record The meanest good thou didst afforde To poore to sicke when deed nor word shall want the owne rewarde The Judge thy Advocate thy Lord Who now absolves Thee first

clouds ensphearde Ioyes as farre passing all delight Yet euer heard by humane wight As ghastly screiches of Owles which fright with Larks sweet laves comparde 64 These boundlesse Joyes this endlese peace In this claims principally place To see God clearely face to face Him as Hee is to view Not heere as doth fraile Adams race Who through a glasse this sight embrace And steps of things created trace to reach these pleasures trew 65 With Judgement pure to know as knowne These Persons three in essence One God varying in names alone Father Sonne holy Ghost To know why Man to lewdnesse prone Angels o'repast God did repone In state of grace why mercy showne To Some while damnde are Most 66 Which Joyes on all the Saints elect On soules and bodies both reflect By ravishing the Intellect the Memory and will Which all the Senses doe affect With pleasures farre aboue defect Who can the rich contents detect those blessed Bands which fill 67 How more perspectiue pure and free Sequestred from mortalitie The Understanding facultie how prompter it perceiues How more sublime the Object bee The Union inward and more nie Joyes of a more supreme degrie the Intellect conceaues 68 Here charg'd

which stoode Know vnpust vp our Soueraigne good In him all creatures els 69 What object can in greatnesse hight In glorie majestie in might This paralell whence all delight all pleasure only springs With rayes of vncreared light Which cherish not offend the sight Who shines most blest for ever bright eternall King of Kings 70 What Union can so strict bee found So firme successionlesse profound Mans deepest speculation drownd is in this vast abisse This gulfe this Ocean without ground The ravisht minde doth wholly bound Jt drencht heerein with glorie crownd bathes in a Sea of blesse 71 If charming sounds ensnaring sights In mindes of wonder-strucken wights Doe moue such violent delights as passe the bounds of speach The Joyes then midst these reachlesse hights Ay bright with euer-burning lights Must farre transcend the loftiest flights wits most profound can reach 72 The fluide Joyes which here entise From things corruptible arise No Union but externall ties the sense and object fraile How should wee then these pleasures prise Which ever laste aboue the skies This Union strict all change defies this bonde can neuer faile 73 What superexellent degrees Of Ioy the Jntellect shall seaze When Jt with cleare vnsyled eyes the speces natures strength Of beastes of birds of stones of trees Of hearbes the hid proprieties Th' essentiall differences sees of Creatures all at length 74 Of Ioy what ouerflowing spaite Inunding this Theater great Drench with delight shall euery state here marshalled above Till now euen from the Worlds first date When Saints secure from sins deceate Their Palmes their Crownes receiue who late earth 's vtmost spight did prove 75 Nor shall the knowledge of the paine The torments which the damn'd sustain The cryms which earst their soules did staine impare these joyes divine These blacke Characters show most plaine Gods justice their deserved bane The brightnesse of the blessed traine oppo●de more cleare doth shine 76 Their Vengeance shall the Just rejoyse Heavens blesse comparde with hels annoyes As earst by regal Prophets voice divinely was fore-told Saintes should incompassed with Joys Bathe in their blood whom death destroyes Happie who so his life employes mongst Saints to bee enrold 77 Heere oft with wonder rapt wee find The punishment with vertuous minde The fault with the reward combinde at which the lust repines There fault with punishment confinde Rewarde to vertuously inclinde Eternall justice vndeclinde impartially assignes 78 As these and more joyes vnexprest The Understanding doe invest As in the Center of its rest So heere the will doth pause In peace which cannot bee encrest Not wrestling passions to digest O calme tranquillitie how blest They whom this loadstone drawes 79 Hence spring such ardent flammes of loue To God to all the Saints aboue That not one ioy these hoasts do proue which It doe not delight Hence It no fewer joyes doe moue Then God Co-partners doth approue Joyes infinite
