esides what I said of the Four Last Things	B
And of the weal and woe that from them springs	B
	-
An after word still runneth in my mind	C
Which I shall here expose unto that wind	C
	-
That may it blow into that very hand	D
That needs it Also that it may be scann'd	D
	-
With greatest soberness shall be my prayer	E
As well as diligence and godly care	E
	-
So to present it unto public view	F
That only truth and peace may thence ensue	F
	-
My talk shall be of that amazing love	G
Of God we read of which that it may prove	H
	-
By its engaging arguments to save	I
Thee I shall lay out that poor help I have	J
	-
Thee to entice that thou wouldst dearly fall	K
In love with thy salvation and with all	K
	-
That doth thereto concur that thou mayst be	L
As blessed as the Blessed can make thee	L
	-
Not only here but in the world to come	M
In bliss which I pray God may be thy home	N
	-
But first I would advise thee to bethink	O
Thyself how sin hath laid thee at the brink	O
	-
Of hell where thou art lulled fast asleep	P
In Satan's arms who also will thee keep	P
	-
As senseless and secure as e'er he may	Q
Lest thou shouldst wake and see't and run away	Q
	-
Unto that Jesus whom the Father sent	R
Into the world for this cause and intent	R
	-
That such as thou from such a thrall as this	S
Might'st be released and made heir of bliss	S
	-
Now that thou may'st awake the danger fly	T
And so escape the death that others die	T
	-
Come let me set my trumpet to thine ear	U
Be willing all my message for to hear	U
	-
'Tis for thy life O do it not refuse	V
Wo unto them good counsel do abuse	W
	-
Thou art at present in that very case	X
Which argues thou art destitute of grace	X
	-
For he that lies where sin hath laid him lies	Y
Under the curse graceless and so he dies	Y
	-
In body and in soul within that range	Z
If God his heart in mercy doth not change	Z
	-
Before he goes the way of all the earth	A2
Before he lose his spirit and his breath	B2
	-
Repentance there is none within the grave	I
Nor Christ nor grace nor mercies for to save	I
	-
Thee from the vengeance due unto thy sin	C2
If now thou dost not truly close with him	D2
	-
Thou art like him that sleepeth in the sea	L
On broken boards which without guide or stay	Q
	-
Are driven whither winds and water will	E2
While greedy beasts do wait to have their fill	E2
	-
By feeding on his carcass when he shall	F2
Turn overboard and without mercy fall	K
	-
Into the jaws of such as make a prey	Q
Of those whom justice drowneth in the sea	L
	-
Thou art like him that snoring still doth lie	T
Upon the bed of vain security	L
	-
Whilst all about him into burning flame	G2
By fire is turned yea and while the frame	G2
	-
And building where he lies consuming is	H2
And while himself these burnings cannot miss	S
	-
Thou art like one that hangeth by a thread	I2
Over the mouth of hell as one half dead	I2
	-
And O how soon this thread may broken be	L
Or cut by death is yet unknown to thee	L
	-
But sure it is if all the weight of sin	C2
And all that Satan too hath doing been	C2
	-
Or yet can do can break this crazy thread	I2
'Twill not be long before among the dead	I2
	-
Thou tumble do as linked fast in chains	J2
With them to wait in fear for future pains	J2
	-
What shall I say Wilt thou not yet awake	O
Nor yet of thy poor soul some pity take	O
	-
Among the lions it hood winked lies	Y
O that the Lord would open once thine eyes	Y
	-
That thou might'st see it then I dare say thou	K2
As half bereft of wits wouldst cry out How	K2
	-
Shall I escape Lord help O help with speed	L2
Reach down thy hand from heav'n for help I need	L2
	-
To save me from the lions for I fear	M2
This soul of mine they will in pieces tear	E
	-
Come then and let us both expostulate	L2
The case betwixt us till we animate	L2
	-
And kindle in our hearts that burning love	G
To Christ to grace to life that we may move	H
	-
Swifter than eagles to this blessed prey	Q
Then shall it be well with us in that day	Q
	-
The trump shall sound the dead made rise and stand	L2
Then to receive for breach of God's command	L2
	-
Such thunder claps as these Depart from me	L
Into hell fire you that the wicked be	L
	-
Prepared for the devil and for those	N2
That with him and his angels rather chose	N2
	-
To live in filthy sin and wickedness	O2
Whose fruit is everlasting bitterness	O2
	-
We both are yet on this side of the grave	I
We also gospel privileges have	J
	-
The word and time to pray God give us hearts	P2
That like the wise man we may act our parts	P2
	-
To get the pearl of price then we shall be	L
Like godly Mary Peter Paul and we	L
	-
Like Jacob too the blessing shall obtain	Q2
While Esau rides a hunting for the gain	Q2
	-
Of worldly pelf which will him not avail	R2
When death or judgment shall him sore assail	R2
	-
Now to encourage us for to begin	C2
Let us believe the kingdom we may win	C2
	-
And be possess'd thereof if we the way	Q
Shall hit into and then let nothing stay	Q
	-
Or hinder us the crown is at the end	L2
Let's run and strive and fly and let's contend	L2
	-
With greatest courage it for to obtain	Q2
'Tis life and peace and everlasting gain	Q2
	-
The gate of life the new and living way	Q
The promise holdeth open all the day	Q
	-
Which thou by Jacob's ladder must ascend	L2
Where angels always wait and do attend	L2
	-
As ministers to minister for those	N2
That do with God and Christ and glory close	S2
	-
If guilt of sin still lieth at our door	T2
Us to discourage let us set before	T2
	-
Our eyes a bleeding Jesus who did die	L2
The death and let's believe the reason why	L2
	-
He did it was that we might ever be	L
From death and sin from hell and wrath set free	L
	-
Yea let's remember for that very end	L2
It was his blessed Father did him send	L2
	-
That he the law of God might here fulfil	R2
That so the mystery of his blessed will	R2
	-
Might be revealed in the blessedness	O2
Of those that fly to Christ for righteousness	O2
	-
Now let us argue with ourselves then thus	O2
That Jesus Christ our Lord came to save us	O2
	-
By bearing of our sins upon his back	O
By hanging on the cross as on a rack	O
	-
While justice cut him off on every side	L2
While smiles Divine themselves from him did hide	L2
	-
While earth did quake and rocks in pieces rent	L2
And while the sun as veiled did lament	L2
	-
To see the innocent and harmless die	L2
So sore a death so full of misery	L
	-
Yea let us turn again and say All this	S
He did and suffered for love of his	H2
	-
He brought in everlasting righteousness	O2
That he might cover all our nakedness	O2
	-
He wept and wash'd his face with brinish tears	O2
That we might saved be from hellish fears	O2
	-
Blood was his sweat too in his agony	L
That we might live in joyful ecstasy	L
	-
He apprehended was and led away	Q
That grace to us ward never might decay	Q
	-
With swords and bills and outrage in the night	L2
That to the peace of heav'n we might have right	L2
	-
Condemned he was between two thieves to die	L2
That we might ever in his bosom lie	L2
	-
Scourged with whips his precious body were	U2
That we lashes of conscience might not fear	M2
	-
His head was crowned with thorns that we might be	L
Crowned with glory and felicity	L
	-
He hanged was upon a cursed tree	L
That we delivered from death might be	L
	-
His Father from him hides his smiles and face	O2
That we might have them in the heavenly place	O2
	-
He cry'd My God why hast forsaken me	L
That we forsaken of him might not be	L
	-
Into his side was thrust a bloody spear	M2
That we the sting of death might never fear	M2
	-
He went into the grave after all this	O2
That we might up to heav'n go and have bliss	O2
	-
Yea rise again he did out of the earth	A2
And shook off from him all the chains of death	B2
	-
Then at his chariot wheels he captive led	L2
His foes and trod upon the serpent's head	L2
	-
Riding in triumph to his Father's throne	V2
There to possess the kingdom as his own	V2
	-
What say'st thou wilt not yet unto him come	M
His arms are open in his heart is room	W2
	-
To lay thee be not then discouraged	L2
Although thy sins be many great and red	L2
	-
Unto thee righteousness he wil	R2
