Before his Throne a Trump is blown,   proclaiming th’ Day of Doom; Forthwith he cries, “_Ye Dead arise_   _and unto Judgment come._“ No sooner said, but ’tis obey’d;   Sepulchers open’d are; Dead bodies all rise at his call,   and’s mighty Power declare. XVIII. Both Sea and Land at his command,   their Dead at once surrender; The Fire and Air constrainéd are   also their dead to tender. The mighty Word of this great Lord   links Body and Soul together, Both of the Just and the unjust,   to part no more for ever. _The living changed_ XIX. [15] The same translates from Mortal states   to Immortality, All that survive and be alive,   in th’ twinkling of an eye; That so they may abide for aye,   to endless weal or woe: Both the Renate and Reprobate   are made to die no moe. _All brought to Judgment._ XX. [16] His wingéd Hosts fly through all coasts,   together gathering Both good and bad, both Quick and Dead,   and all to Judgment bring. Out of their holes those creeping Moles,   that hid themselves for fear, By force they take, and quickly make   before the Judge appear. _The Sheep separated from the Goats._ XXI. [17] Thus every one before the Throne   of Christ the Judge is brought, Both righteous and impious,   that good or ill hath wrought. A separation and diff’ring station   by Christ appointed is (To sinners sad) ’twixt good and bad,   ’twixt Heirs of woe and bliss. _Who are Christ’s Sheep._ XXII. [18] At Christ’s right hand the Sheep do stand,   his holy Martyrs, who For his dear Name suffering shame,   calamity and woe. Like Champions stood and with their Blood   their Testimony sealéd; Whose innocence without offence   to Christ their Judge appealéd. XXIII. [19] Next unto whom there find a room   all Christ’s afflicted ones, Who being chastis’d, neither despis’d   nor sank amidst their groans; Who by the Rod were turn’d to God,   and lovéd him the more, Not murmuring nor quarrelling   when they were chast’ned sore. XXIV. [20] Moreover, such as lovéd much,   that had not such a trial. As might constrain to so great pain,   and such deep self-denial. Yet ready were the Cross to bear,   when Christ them called thereto, And did rejoice to hear his voice,—   they’re counted Sheep also. XXV. [21] Christ’s flock of Lambs there also stands,   whose Faith was weak, yet true, sound Believers (Gospel receivers)   those Grace was small, but grew; And them among an Infant throng   of Babes, for whom Christ died; Whom for his own, by ways unknown   to Men, he sanctified. XXVI. [22] All stand before their Savi-or,   in long white Robes yclad, Their countenance full of pleasance,    appearing wond’rous glad. O glorious sight! Behold how bright   dust-heaps are made to shine. Conforméd so their Lord unto,   whose Glory is Divine. _The Goats described, or the several sorts of Reprobates on the left hand._ XXVII. [23]
