(26) All stand before their Saviour in long white Robes yclad,1 Their countenance full of pleasance, appearing wondrous glad. O glorious sight! Behold how bright dust heaps are made to shine, Conformed so their Lord unto, whose Glory is Divine.2
- 1Rev. 6.11. Phil 3.21
- 2The Goats described or the several sorts of Reprobates on the left hand. Mat. 24.51.
(27) At Christ's left hand the Goats do stand, all whining hypocrites, Who for self ends did seem Christ's friends, but fostered guileful sprites: Who Sheep resembled, but they dissembled (their hearts were not sincere) Who once did throng Christ's Lambs among but now must not come near.
