[Behold the Bridegroome comes, he takes his way.]

Behold the Bridegroome comes, he takes his way.
Nor Man, nor Angell knowes the houre or day;
He saies, he'le come, much like a tbeefe in night,
To judge the world with equity and right;
Angels shall charge with trumpets sounding cleare,
And Christ as Iudge shall in the clouds appeare;
The righteous & the wicked shall arise,
Bodies and Soules, to passe upon that size;
He who the oyle of preparation hath,
Whom Christ shall find furnish'd with saving faith,
Shall with the blessed Bridegroome mount on hie,
Mongst Seraphimes triumphing gloriously;
But he who hath no oyle, nor faith at all,
Heavens dreadfull Iudge shall that man cursed call,
And banish him into the pit of hell,
Where with the fiends for ever he must dwell.
