Resurrectio Christi.
Archangels, Angels, Martyrs, holy Saints,
Oh heauens celestiall family appeare,
Giue all your powers vnnaturall restraints,
Sound Cherubin-like musicke in his eare,
(Whose glorious being banisht all hell-feare)
The Sonne is ri's, Gods deare elected Sonne,
And now ascends where his first birth begun.
Oh heauens celestiall family appeare,
Giue all your powers vnnaturall restraints,
Sound Cherubin-like musicke in his eare,
(Whose glorious being banisht all hell-feare)
The Sonne is ri's, Gods deare elected Sonne,
And now ascends where his first birth begun.
Cloudes clap together with mellodious voice,
And with your softnes cloath his blessed brest,
From his great Father heare a thundering noyse,
That crownes his bright Sonne in eternall rest,
Of all (oh onely all) thou art most blest:
And earthly men forsake your vaine delight,
Kneele, pray, and praise, this vncompared might.
And with your softnes cloath his blessed brest,
From his great Father heare a thundering noyse,

And earthly men forsake your vaine delight,
Kneele, pray, and praise, this vncompared might.
Ionas that in the huge Leuiathan,
Three hell-darke nights, & dayes imprisoned was,
Is like a chosen Prophet come againe,
(Oh how thy word drad king is come to passe?)
So is this Prophet, which doth all surpasse:
Rose from the foggy entrailes of the graue,
Mankinde, vngratefull minded-man to saue.

Baptizing Iohn that in the wildernes,
Liu'd as an exile in that barren land,
Feeding on Locusts in his sharp distresse,
Subiect to monsters, and at deaths command,
Hath conquer'd all this with his faithfull hand
And is returnd: So our Baptizer is,
Who, not with water but with bloud brings blisse.

Since whose abode, deuouring hell is frighted,
Quaking for feare when Iesus Christ was there,
And quick-eyd death become but dimly sighted,
And since, when he is nam'd they shake for feare,
If but thy name do such amazement beare?
What did the person of so great a king?
Hels victory controule, and kill deaths sting.

Then from the fleshly prison of base sinne,
Rise (oh thou foule infected soule of mine)
Arise, or else death will the battaile winne,
And kill thee with a thousand darted crime,
Come quickly from this filthy graue in time,
Rise thus, and thou shalt euer rise with ioy,
And as thy Sauiour did thou shalt destroy.
