( 8 ) An angel from heaven, the word does me tell Rolls back the great, stone defies earth and hell 43The women to the ſepulcher then disrepair, Then. Chriſt’s reſurection did the angel declare The angel to the women then kindly did ſay, Jeſus is riſen, come ſee where he lay? 44Then Jeſus appears to Mary, near by, As ſhe ſtood a weeping, the ſepulcher nigh, Saying, go to my brethren, tell them from me That they go to Gallilie, me they ſhall ſee. 45The diſciples ſoon heard the joyful news In a room being aſſembled, fearing the Jews, The doors being ſhut, affrighted for harm. Then Jeſus appears in the midſt of them, 46His love and his peace on them did bestow Chriſts hands & his ſide he did to them ſhow Then were they glad, the word bears record. And grealtygreatly [sic] rejoiced, when they ſaw the Lord 47The Lord to his people did often appear After he was riſen, by ſea and by ſhore; By infallible proofs was ſeen forty days; Our glorious Redeemer their life was always 48Now our Lord his own people to Bethany, led. With lifted up hands there bleſt them indeed Then a change from natural to a ſpiritual Chriſt Jeſus, triumphing, aſcended on high.
