Easter dayes Resurrexit.
Set the Cliff higher
Now,
And raise
Each hearts key,
To present a Vow
In praise
Of him who lately was our buyer,
And of this Day
Which He makes clearer farr then Other dayes.

For look we back, and there
We may with ease
See what we were,
Transform'd beyond
All works, did please
The Maker
So
That whilst He did commend
What He had done, Man wrought his endless woe;
Nor of those praises longer was partaker.

Before when known
To be,
By Innocencies Liverie,
The fairest likeness of Creation;
All other Things
Were but to Man as Offerings,
Whereby
He might maintain
The Title of the worlds true Soveraign.

Justice and Mercy both,
The King of Heaven
Delights to show;
And in his hands the Skoals doth hold so even,
That whilst enforc'd to punish, yet he's loath
To overthrow;
And so a way prescribes, wherein
Man may revenged be of sin.

To this effect,
When He saw time,
His Son was sent,
That all disgraces of the Crime
On Him being spent,
No Contumelie or neglect
Might lie behinde,
To sink into Despair a troubled minde.

So suffered He
To set
Man
Free
Again,
Whose debt
Requir'd no less
To recompence
The Guiltiness
Of so great Disobedience.

Which bond discharg'd,
All are enlarg'd,
Who can through Faith arise
With Him who Clarifies
Beyond our apprehension,
The Splendor this Dayes Skies
Put on,
To Embleme His Bright Resurrection.
