Arise, for if thou wilt not, thou shalt be raised. Si non surrexeris volenter, suscitaberis violenter. If thou refuse to rise willingly, thou shalt be roused against thy will. If thou wilt not hear the first Surge, which is the Ministers voice; thou shalt hear the last Surge, which is the Arch-angels voice. Dicis, Surgam, thou sayest, I will rise; but when! Modo Domine, modò: Anon Lord, all in time. Will not this be a silly excuse at the day of Judgement, I will rise anon? Thou must rise din a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trump. Though thou cry to the eMountains, Fall on me, and to the Rocks, Hide me: yet Nulla evasio, thou must arise and appear. There are two voices that sound out this Surge: one Evangelical, and that is of mercy; yet we drown this, as Italians do thunder; by Drums, Bells, Cannons. The other Angelical, and that is of Justice, a voice unpossible to be avoided. This is that last Sermon, that all the world shall hear: Arise ye dead, and come to judgement.
Arise, for if thou wilt not, thou shalt be raised. Si non surrexeris volenter, suscitaberis violenter. If thou refuse to rise willingly, thou shalt be rowsed against thy will. If thou wilt not heare the first Surge, which is the Ministers voice; thou shalt heare the last Surge, which is the Arch-angels voyce. Dicis, Surgam, thou saist, I will rise; but when! Modo Domine, modò: Anon Lord, all in time. Will not this be a silly excuse at the day of Iudgement, I will rise anon? Thou must rise din a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trumpe. Though thou cry to the eMountaines, Fall on me, and to the Rockes, Hide me: yet Nulla euasio, thou must arise and appeare. There are two voices that sound out this Surge: one Euangelicall, and that is of mercy; yet we drowne this, as Italians do thunder; by Drums, Bels, Cannons. The other Angelicall, and that is of Iustice, a voice vnpossible to be auoided. This is that last Sermon, that all the world shall heare: Arise ye dead, and come to iudgement.
