RESVRRECTION.

6. _Moyst with one drop of thy blood, my dry soule_

Shall (though she now be in extreme degree

Too stony hard, and yet too fleshly,) bee

Freed by that drop, from being starv'd, hard, or foule,

And life, by this death abled, shall controule 5

Death, whom thy death slue; nor shall to mee

Feare of first or last death, bring miserie,

If in thy little booke my name thou enroule,

Flesh in that long sleep is not putrified,

But made that there, of which, and for which 'twas; 10

Nor can by other meanes be glorified.

May then sinnes sleep, and deaths soone from me passe,

That wak't from both, I againe risen may

_Salute the last, and everlasting day_.
