Th'Apostle bids us then to joy,
When as temptations us annoy.
And heavens great Prince sed unto you
Before, he bid the earth adieu.
Let not your hearts here troubled be,
For if you do beleeve on me,
In heav'n a Palace there is for you,
Fear not, in me, it is your due.
I'st prison that doth you afright?
In dungeon deep hee'l be your light.
I'st war whose fear you do pretend?
The Lord of Host can you defend.
I'st sicknes that doth cause your dread?
He easie can make your sick bed.
Unless by these he will you take
Into his glory, and there make
You to behold those Visions fair,
Will ravish you from all your care.
Then sith heav'ns King can safe you keep,
There is no cause for you to weep.
You shall not enter to his rest,
If you by doubting him molest.
