all the World which when once discreated Should be refin'd renew'd and re-created This great Decree will doubtlesse ratifie And for th' Elects-sake doe 't more speedily As Sybells Prophets and Apostles wise Yea Christ himselfe did truly Prophetize Then pallid Death whose Ash-pale face did fright The stoutest Champion most vn-daunted Sprite Hauing at Length with strength enough displaide His All-Tryumphant Trophies hauing made A massacre and hauocke of all flesh Thinking to Nimrodize it still afresh Like proud disdainefull Pompey at the last Shall meet our Caesar and at 's feet shall cast The Glory of his Mortall-wounding might Shall lose his fatall Sting which did so bite And pierce the Hearts of euery Mortall Creature T' reduce to Dust each Wormelings Dusty feature Death being then Mans fatall finall foe Him Christ victoriously shall ouerthrow From forth his Clawes shall strongly wrest the conquest And fell All-felling Death at 's feet thus vanquisht But as the Corner-creeping Theefe doth watch With sure aduantage vnawares to catch The carelesse Seruants left the House to keepe Whom when he findeth snorting fast asleepe Suddainely sets vpon them thus doth prey On 's hopt-for Booty and then hastes away Or as it fares in a faire Summer morning When the Great-Light the azure Skie's adorning And new-now risen from th' Antipodes His radiant Raies displaies the world to please At whose sweet Sight the pretty Larke doth rise Wi●h warbling noates wau'ring i th lofty Skies Earth hauing op't her Shop of sweet Perfumes Of fragrant flowres herbs plants and pleasant bloomes A gentle Wind fannes coolenesse through the Aire The Suns increasing heate thus to impaire Each Creature much delighted at the heart To see this Sight now ready to take part Of pleasure in this pleasant Day begun When as vpon a sudden o're the Sun A mightie Raine-swolne-Cloud begins to spred And furious Winds through th' Ayre are nimbly fled From forth their Stations blustring vp and downe The angry Heauens vpon the Earth ' gin frowne And frō their Spouts powre downe great streaming Showers Dashing and washing Trees Plants Herbs and Flowers With Light-heeld Lightning and such Cannon-Thunder As Heauen and Earth were rest and cleft in sunder Damping the former hope of sweet delight By this so sudden Change amazing sight Euen so this Second-Comming of Christ Iesus From Sins most heauy hatefull Yoke to ease vs To Purge the World of its Impurity To Plague the Atheists Incredulity T' Auenge the Bloud of his deare slaughtered Saints To Giue an End to their sad sighs and plaints Shall Sudden bee will come at vnawares When Worldly-men are plung'd in worldly Cares When Lust-full-men are most a Sensualizing When fawning Guathoes most are Temporizing When as Voluptuous-Vaine-lings sport and play When they doe least expect suspect this Day Then shall this Vnsure-Certaine Doomes-Day come To Some most well-come wo-full vnto Some Vnto the Wicked terrible and fearefull Vnto the Godly comfortable chearefull Vnto the Bad a day of Lamentation Vnto the Good a day of Consolation Sharp to the Wicked ioyfull to the Iust Gods wrath the Sinner scattering as the dust Then as i th' dayes of Noe with wondrous change Shall dire destruction int'all places range As that with waters wofull inundation So this with fires all-spoyling conflagration As that with water coold the heate o● Sin Wherewith the World had then inflamed bin So this with fire to burne the rotten sticks Of want of Loue combustible dry li●ks Our Globy-Gran-dame Earth shall then all flame Like a huge Bon fire and about the same The bound-lesse ground-lesse Sea bright Fishes station Shall b'exciccated with strange admiration And that great-little nimble-scale-arm'd hoast No longer shall through the watry-Region coast Yea then that huge Leuiathan Sea's wonder Shall cease his sport and roaring voyce like Thunder Then Heau'n and Earth shall variated bee To pure perfection in the high'st degree Then all the Spheares the Starres and heau'nly Motions Which seru'd for Time-distinctions certayne Notions Planets and Plants which Man on Earth did vse Their Power in Man and Vertue then shall lose Yea all vicissitudes all alternations Of Heau'n and Earth shall leaue their antique Stations Shall be dissolued cease and haue an end Mountaynes shall melt and to low Dales descend The Creatures then which groane and moane in paine Freed at the least if not renewd againe Then shall be heard a loud hart-daunting voyce A heauenly Trump shall sound with ecchoing noise By Gods all-pot●nt power and prouidence Shall all flesh of this vast circumference Heare and appeare by that loud Trumpets summon At this Grand Sessions all the world in common Then rattling roaring thunder shall be heard Whereby the wicked shall be frighted feard Then all the world shall be as flaming fire Christ our Iust-gentle Iudge with loue and ire Shall come with all the hoast of winged Legions Soaring about the bright-starre-spangled Regions With whom Apostles Prophets Martyrs flye In compleate glory in the glistring Skye Mercy and Iustice marching cheeke by iowle Shall his Diuine triumphant Chariot rowle Whose wheeles shall shine with Lightning all about With b●a●es of glory each-where blazing out Who shall in 's hand a Booke in folio beare Wherein mans faults and follies written were Then shall the

griefe and horrour Shall beme the Iudges sentence to their terrour Their se●se-accusing Conscience telling them That they are Guilty and will them condemne And Sathans Sergeants at their elbowes stand To beare their soules and bodies out of hand To his infernall Iay●e with fiery chaines To binde them fast to Hells ne're ending paines Their Sins I say will stand at their right hand And at their left will damned Diuels stand Within th' accusing Conscience crying shame Without them all the World a burning flame Vnder their feete Soule-frying gaping Hell And ore their head● their Iudge most fierce and fell Too late they then weepe for vn-wept-for Sin Too late they wish they neuer borne had bin Too late asham'd at Heau'ns most glorious light They wish but vainely wish that mountaines might Them couer smother from heart-searching Iudge Thus rest of comfort vp and downe they trudge And then the iust chiefe Iustice wrathfully On 's left hand sayes to th'wicked Stand you by You aw-lesse lawlesse wicked hence depart Into eternall terrour paine and smart Depart I say you Cursed goe begon Into the depth of Hells deepe dungeon That Prison where your damned soules must lye And dye a thousand deaths yet neuer dye Where shall be weeping wailing schreekes and grones Gnashing of teeth Hell-howling sighes and mones Diuels tormenting you in flames eternall With fearefull frights by hellish Fiends infernall For ere to bee sequestred from all ioy In end-lesse
