Cheer up thy heart, for thy Judge is flesh of thy flesh, and bone of thy bone. 1Lift up thy head, behold these glorious Angels, like so many Gabriels, 2flying towards us, to tell us, that the day of our Redemption is come, and to convey us in the clouds, to meet our Redeemer in the Air. Lo they are at hand, arise therefore my Dove, my Love, 3my fair One, and come away:4 and so like Roes, or young Harts, they run with Angels towards Christ, over the trembling mountains of B•ther.

Loe they are at hand, arise therefore my Doue, my Loue, 3my faire One, and come away:4 and so like Roes, or young Harts, they runne with Angels towards Christ, ouer the trembling mountaines of B•ther.
