that farr be from thee; father; who art judg

of all things made; and judgest onely right。 ' 155 '

or shall the adversarie thus obtain

his end; and frustrate thine; shall he fulfill

his malice; and thy goodness bring to naught;

or proud return though to his heavier doom;

yet with revenge acplisht and to hell ' 160 '

draw after him the whole race of mankind;

by him corrupted? or wilt thou thy self

abolish thy creation; and unmake;

for him; what for thy glorie thou hast made?

so should thy goodness and thy greatness both ' 165 '

be questiond and blaspheamd without defence。

to whom the great creatour thus replyd。

o son; in whom my soul hath chief delight;

son of my bosom; son who art alone

my word; my wisdom; and effectual might; ' 170 '

all hast thou spokn as my thoughts are; all

as my eternal purpose hath decreed:

man shall not quite be lost; but savd who will;

yet not of will in him; but grace in me

freely voutsaft; once more i will renew ' 175 '

his lapsed powers; though forfeit and enthralld

by sin to foul exorbitant desires;

upheld by me; yet once more he shall stand

on even ground against his mortal foe;

by me upheld; that he may know how frail ' 180 '

his falln condition is; and to me ow

all his delivrance; and to none but me。

some i have chosen of peculiar grace

elect above the rest; so is my will:

the rest shall hear me call; and oft be warnd ' 185 '

thir sinful state; and to appease betimes

th incensed deitie while offerd grace

invites; for i will cleer thir senses dark;

what may suffice; and softn stonie hearts

to pray; repent; and bring obedience due。 ' 190 '

to prayer; repentance; and obedience due;

though but endevord with sincere intent;

mine ear shall not be slow; mine eye not shut。

and i will place within them as a guide

my umpire conscience; whom if they will hear; ' 195 '

light after light well usd they shall attain;

and to the end persisting; safe arrive。

this my long sufferance and my day of grace

they who neglect and scorn; shall never taste;

but hard be hardnd; blind be blinded more; ' 200 '

that they may stumble on; and deeper fall;

and none but such from mercy i exclude。

but yet all is not don; man disobeying;

disloyal breaks his fealtie; and sinns

against the high supremacie of heavn; ' 205 '

affecting god…head; and so loosing all;

to expiate his treason hath naught left;

but to destruction sacred and devote;

he with his whole posteritie must dye;

dye hee or justice must; unless for him ' 210 '

som other able; and as willing; pay

the rigid satisfaction; death for death。

say heavnly powers; where shall we find such love;

which of ye will be mortal to redeem

mans mortal crime; and just th unjust to save; ' 215 '

dwels in all heaven charitie so deare?

he askd; but all the heavnly quire stood mute;

and silence was in heavn: on mans behalf

patron or intercessor none appeerd;

much less that durst upon his own head draw ' 220 '

the deadly forfeiture; and ransom set。

and now without redemption all mankind

must have bin lost; adjudgd to death and hell

by doom severe; had not the son of god;

in whom the fulness dwells of love divine; ' 225 '

his dearest mediation thus renewd。

father; thy word is past; man shall find grace;

and shall grace not find means; that finds her way;

the speediest of thy winged messengers;

to visit all thy creatures; and to all ' 230 '

es unprevented; unimplord; unsought;

happie for man; so ing; he her aide

can never seek; once dead in sins and lost;

attonement for himself or offering meet;

indebted and undon; hath none to bring: ' 235 '

behold mee then; mee for him; life for life

i offer; on mee let thine anger fall;

account mee man; i for his sake will leave

thy bosom; and this glorie next to thee

freely put off; and for him lastly dye ' 240 '

well pleasd; on me let death wreck all his rage;

under his gloomie power i shall not long

lie vanquisht; thou hast givn me to possess

life in my self for ever; by thee i live;

though now to death i yield; and am his due ' 245 '

all that of me can die; yet that debt paid;

thou wilt not leave me in the loathsom grave

his prey; nor suffer my unspotted soule

for ever with corruption there to dwell;

but i shall rise victorious; and subdue ' 250 '

my vanquisher; spoild of his vanted spoile;

death his deaths wound shall then receive; and stoop

inglorious; of his mortal sting disarmd。

i through the ample air in triumph high

shall lead hell captive maugre hell; and show ' 255 '

the powers of darkness bound。 thou at the sight

pleasd; out of heaven shalt look down and smile;

while by thee raisd i ruin all my foes;

death last; and with his carcass glut the grave:

then with the multitude of my redeemd ' 260 '

shall enter heaven long absent; and returne;

father; to see thy face; wherein no cloud

of anger shall remain; but peace assurd;

and reconcilement; wrauth shall be no more

thenceforth; but in thy presence joy entire。 ' 265 '

his words here ended; but his meek aspect

silent yet spake; and breathd immortal love

to mortal men; above which only shon

filial obedience: as a sacrifice

glad to be offerd; he attends the will ' 270 '

of his great father。 admiration seisd

all heavn; what this might mean; and whither tend

wondring; but soon th almighty thus replyd:

o thou in heavn and earth the only peace

found out for mankind under wrauth; o thou ' 275 '

my sole placence! well thou knowst how dear;

to me are all my works; nor man the least

though last created; that for him i spare

thee from my bosom and right hand; to save;

by loosing thee a while; the whole race lost。 ' 280 '

thou therefore whom thou only canst redeem;

thir nature also to thy nature joyn;

and be thy self man among men on earth;

made flesh; when time shall be; of virgin seed;

by wondrous birth: be thou in adams room ' 285 '

the head of all mankind; though adams son。

as in him perish all men; so in thee

as from a second root shall be restord;

as many as are restord; without thee none。

his crime makes guiltie all his sons; thy merit ' 290 '

imputed shall absolve them who renounce

thir own both righteous and unrighteous deeds;

and live in thee transplanted; and from thee

receive new life。 so man; as is most just;

shall satisfie for man; be judgd and die; ' 295 '

and dying rise; and rising with him raise

his brethren; ransomd with his own dear life。

so heavnly love shall outdoo hellish hate;

giving to death; and dying to redeeme;

so dearly to redeem what hellish hate ' 300 '

so easily destroyd; and still destroyes

in those who; when they may; accept not grace。

nor shalt thou by descending to assume

mans nature; lessn or degrade thine owne。

because thou hast; though thrond in highest bliss ' 305 '

equal to god; and equally enjoying

god…like fruition; quitted all to save

a world from utter loss; and hast been found

by merit more then birthright son of god;

found worthiest to be so by being good; ' 310 '

farr more then great or high; because in thee

love hath abounded more then glory abounds;

therefore thy humiliation shall exalt

with thee thy manhood also to this throne;

here shalt thou sit incarnate; here shalt reign ' 315 '

both god and man; son both of god and man;

anointed universal king; all power

i give thee; reign for ever; and assume

thy merits; under thee as head supream 

thrones; princedoms; powers; dominions i reduce: ' 320 '

all knees to thee shall bow; of them that bide

in heaven; or earth; or under earth in hell;

when thou attended gloriously from heavn

shalt in the sky appeer; and from thee send

the summoning arch…angels to proclaime ' 325 '

thy dread tribunal: forthwith from all windes

the living; and forthwith the cited dead

of all past ages to the general doom

shall hastn; such a peal shall rouse thir sleep。

then all thy saints assembld; thou shalt judge ' 330 '

bad men and angels; they arraignd shall sink

beneath thy sentence; hell her numbers full;

thenceforth shall be for ever shut。 mean while

the world shall burn; and from her ashes spring

new heavn and earth; wherein the just shall dwell ' 335 '

and after all thir tribulations long

see golden days; fruitful of golden deeds;

with joy and love triumphing; and fair truth。

then thou thy regal scepter shalt lay by;

for regal scepter then no more shall need; ' 340 '

god shall be all in all。 but all ye gods;

adore him; who to pass all this dies;

adore the son; and honour him as mee。

no sooner had th almighty ceast; but all

the multitude of angels with a shout ' 345 '

loud as from numbers without number; sweet

as from blest voices; uttering joy; heavn rung

with jubilee; and loud hosannas filld
