By Faith not void of workes: this God-like act

Out of his grave, fresh as the dawning light,

And fix farr deeper in his head thir stings

Shall long usurp; ere the third dawning light

In sin for ever lost from life; this act

Alone fulfill the Law; thy punishment

Manhood to God-head, with more strength to foil

Needs must the Serpent now his capital bruise

Still followd him; to them shall leave in charge

Baptizing in the profluent streame, the signe

Of all mankinde, with him there crucifid,

To whom thus Michahttps://read.99csw.comel. Dream not of thir fight,

Not by destroying Satan, but his works

For death, like that which the redeemer dyd. [ 445 ]

Neglect not, and the benefit imbrace

A shameful and accurst, naild to the Cross

For this he shall live hated, be blasphemd,

The penaltie to thy transgression due,

All Nations they shall teach; for from that day

In thee and in thy Seed: nor can this be, [ 395 ]

A gentle wafting to immortal Life. [ 435 ]

Or theirs whom he redeems, a death like sleep,

And his Salvahｔtpｓ://ｒeａｄ•9９ｃsw.ｃｏmtion, them who shall beleeve

But by fulfilling that which thou didst want,

As of a Duel, or the local wounds

On penaltie of death, and suffering death,

Longer on Earth then certaine times to appeer

The Law that is against thee, and the sins

He shall endure by coming in the Flesh [ 405 ]

Which hee, who comes thy Saviour, shall recure,

Nor after resurrection shall he stay

Of washing them from guilt of sin to Life

To his Disciples, Men who in his Life

So in his seed all Nations shall be blest. [ 450 ]九_九_藏_書

Not onely to the Sons of Abrahams Loines

Returne, the Starres of Morn shall see him rise

To teach all nations what of him they learnd [ 440 ]

To save them, not thir own, though legal works. [ 410 ]

Defeating Sin and Death, his two maine armes,

Proclaiming Life to all who shall believe

Then temporal death shall bruise the Victors heel,

Thy enemie; nor so is overcome [ 390 ]

Disabld not to give thee thy deaths wound:

Both by obedience and by love, though love

Salvation shall be Preacht, but to the Sons

Satan, whｔtpｓ://rｅａｄ•99cｓw.cｏmhose fall from Heavn, a deadlier bruise,

The Law of God exact he shall fulfill

Obedience to the Law of God, imposd

Pure, and in mind prepard, if so befall,

But soon revives, Death over him no power [ 420 ]

Shall bruise the head of Satan, crush his strength [ 430 ]

Imputed becomes theirs by Faith, his merits

Expect with mortal paine: say where and when

Of head or heel: not therefore joynes the Son

Never to hurt them more who rightly trust

Of Abrahams Faith wherever through the world;

Annuls thy doom, the death thou https://read.99csw.comshouldst have dyd,

But to the Cross he nailes thy Enemies, [ 415 ]

In his redemption, and that his obedience

Thir fight, what stroke shall bruise the Victors heel [ 385 ].

To a reproachful life and cursed death,

Thy ransom paid, which Man from death redeems,

Seisd on by force, judgd, and to death condemnd

So onely can high Justice rest appaid.

His death for Man, as many as offerd Life [ 425 ]

In this his satisfaction; so he dies,

By his own Nation, slaine for bringing Life;

And due to theirs which out of thine will grow: [ 400 ]
