The Mountains smoke, the Hills are shook, the Earth is rent and torn, As if she should be clear dissolv'd or from her center borne. The Sea doth roar, forsakes the shore, and shrinks away for fear; The wild beasts flee into the sea, so soon as he draws near, XVI. [Sidenote: Thes. 4:16.] Whose Glory bright, whose wond'rous Might, whose Power Imperial, So far surpass whatever was in Realms Terrestrial, That tongues of men (nor Angel's pen) Cannot the same express; And therefore I must pass it by, lest speaking should transgress. XVII. [Sidenote: Resurrection of the Dead. John 5:28, 29.] 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. XIX. [Sidenote: The living changed. Luke 20:36. 1 Cor. 15:52.] 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. XX. [Sidenote: All brought to Judgment. Mat. 24:31.] 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. XXI. [Sidenote: 2 Cor. 5:10. The Sheep separated from the Goats. Mat. 25:32.] Thus every one before the Throne of Christ the Judge is brought, Both rightéous 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. XXII. [Sidenote: Who are Christ's Sheep. Mat. 5:10, 11.] 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. [Sidenote: Heb. 12:5, 6, 7.] 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. [Sidenote: Luke 7:41, 47.]
