Manhood to God-head, with more strength to foil

Of Abrahams Faith wherever through the world;

Shall bruise the head of Satan, crush his strength [ 430 ]

Satan, whose fall from Heavn, a deadlier bruise,

Never to hurt them more who rightly trust

To save them, not thir own, though legal works. [ 410 ]

In his redemption, and that his obedience

Then temporal death shall bruise the Victors heel,

The penaltie to thy transgression due,

Of head or heel: not therefore joynes the Son

Longer on Earth then certaine tim九*九*藏*书*网es to appeer

But by fulfilling that which thou didst want,

In this his satisfaction; so he dies,

So onely can high Justice rest appaid.

Which hee, who comes thy Saviour, shall recure,

Alone fulfill the Law; thy punishment

A gentle wafting to immortal Life. [ 435 ]

Not onely to the Sons of Abrahams Loines

Thy enemie; nor so is overcome [ 390 ]

To teach all nations what of him they learnd [ 440 ]

And his Salvation, them who shall beleeve

Baptizing in the profluent streame, the signe

Nor after resurrection shall he stay

Defeating Sin and Death, his two maine armes,

All Nations they shall teach; for from that day

Obedience to the Law of God, imposd

As of a Duel, or the local wounds

Annuls thy doom, the death thou shouldst have dyd,

Of washing them from guilt of sin to Life

Both by obedience and by love, though love

Out of his grave, fresh as the dawning light,

To whom thus Michael. Dream not of thir fight,

Expect with mortal paine: say where and when

Disabld not to give thee thy deaths w九_九_藏_书_网ound:

Imputed becomes theirs by Faith, his merits

His death for Man, as many as offerd Life [ 425 ]

And fix farr deeper in his head thir stings

A shameful and accurst, naild to the Cross

Proclaiming Life to all who shall believe

Returne, the Starres of Morn shall see him rise

The Law of God exact he shall fulfill

In sin for ever lost from life; this act

Thy ransom paid, which Man from death redeems,

Thir fight, what stroke shall bruise the Victors heel [ 385 ].

Neglect not, and the benefit imbrace

Needs must藏书网 the Serpent now his capital bruise

By his own Nation, slaine for bringing Life;

So in his seed all Nations shall be blest. [ 450 ]

To his Disciples, Men who in his Life

On penaltie of death, and suffering death,

Shall long usurp; ere the third dawning light

In thee and in thy Seed: nor can this be, [ 395 ]

The Law that is against thee, and the sins

Of all mankinde, with him there crucifid,

By Faith not void of workes: this God-like act

To a reproachful life and cursed death,

Or theirs whom he redeems, a death like九九藏书 sleep,

For this he shall live hated, be blasphemd,

Pure, and in mind prepard, if so befall,

But to the Cross he nailes thy Enemies, [ 415 ]

But soon revives, Death over him no power [ 420 ]

Salvation shall be Preacht, but to the Sons

He shall endure by coming in the Flesh [ 405 ]

Not by destroying Satan, but his works

Still followd him; to them shall leave in charge

For death, like that which the redeemer dyd. [ 445 ]

And due to theirs which out of thine will grow: [ 400 ]

Seisd on by force, judgd, and to death condemnd
