He onward came, farr off his coming shon,

Chariots of God, half on each hand were seen: [ 770 ]

And thus the filial Godhead answering spake.

It self instinct with Spirit, but convoyd

Whom to obey is happiness entire.

Fulfilld, which to fulfil is all my bliss.

And the third sacred Morn began to shine

That from thy just obedience could revolt, [ 740 ]

Whereon a Saphir Throne, inlaid with pure

To glorifie thy Son, I alwayes thee, [ 725 ]

O Father, O Supream of heavnly Thrones,

Sate Eagle-wingd, beside him hung his Bow

Ascended, at his right hand Victorie

First, Highest, Holiest, Best, thou alwayes seekst

Had wondrous, as with Starrs thir bodies all

Over thir heads a chrystal Firmament,

Then shall thy Saints unmixt, aread.99csw.comnd from th impure

And gladlier shall resign, when in the end

By four Cherubic shapes, four Faces each

Scepter and Power, thy giving, I assume, [ 730 ]

Of radiant Urim, work divinely wrought,

That thou in me well pleasd, declarst thy will

From the right hand of Glorie where he sate,

To chains of darkness, and th undying Worm,

Ineffably into his fa九*九*藏*書ce receivd,

Thou shalt be All in All, and I in thee

And Quiver with three-bolted Thunder stord,

Unfeigned Halleluiahs to thee sing,

Attended with ten thousand thousand Saints,

But whom thou hatst, I hate, and can put on

And twentie thousand (I thir number heard)

Hymns of high praise, and I among them chief. [ 745 ]

As is most just; this I my Glorie account,

Dawning through Heavn: forth rushd with whirl-wind sound

Of smoak and bickering flame, and htｔｐs://ｒｅａd•99csw•ｃｏｍsparkles dire;

And Wings were set with Eyes, with Eyes the wheels [ 755 ]

On the Chrystallin Skie, in Saphir Thrond.

And from about him fierce Effusion rowld [ 765 ]
