and silence was in heavn： on mans behalf
patron or intercessor none appeerd；
much less that durst upon his own head draw ＇ 220 ＇
the deadly forfeiture； and ransom set。
and now without redemption all mankind
must have bin lost； adjudgd to death and hell
by doom severe； had not the son of god；
in whom the fulness dwells of love divine； ＇ 225 ＇
his dearest mediation thus renewd。
father； thy word is past； man shall find grace；
and shall grace not find means； that finds her way；
the speediest of thy winged messengers；
to visit all thy creatures； and to all ＇ 230 ＇
es unprevented； unimplord； unsought；
happie for man； so ing； he her aide
can never seek； once dead in sins and lost；
attonement for himself or offering meet；
indebted and undon； hath none to bring： ＇ 235 ＇
behold mee then； mee for him； life for life
i offer； on mee let thine anger fall；
account mee man； i for his sake will leave
thy bosom； and this glorie next to thee
freely put off； and for him lastly dye ＇ 240 ＇
well pleasd； on me let death wreck all his rage；
under his gloomie power i shall not long
lie vanquisht； thou hast givn me to possess
life in my self for ever； by thee i live；
though now to death i yield； and am his due ＇ 245 ＇
all that of me can die； yet that debt paid；
thou wilt not leave me in the loathsom grave
his prey； nor suffer my unspotted soule
for ever with corruption there to dwell；
but i shall rise victorious； and subdue ＇ 250 ＇
my vanquisher； spoild of his vanted spoile；
death his deaths wound shall then receive； and stoop
inglorious； of his mortal sting disarmd。

Paradise Lost Ⅲ7
i through the ample air in triumph high
shall lead hell captive maugre hell； and show ＇ 255 ＇
the powers of darkness bound。 thou at the sight
pleasd； out of heaven shalt look down and smile；
while by thee raisd i ruin all my foes；
death last； and with his carcass glut the grave：
then with the multitude of my redeemd ＇ 260 ＇
shall enter heaven long absent； and returne；
father； to see thy face； wherein no cloud
of anger shall remain； but peace assurd；
and reconcilement； wrauth shall be no more
thenceforth； but in thy presence joy entire。 ＇ 265 ＇
his words here ended； but his meek aspect
silent yet spake； and breathd immortal love
to mortal men； above which only shon
filial obedience： as a sacrifice
glad to be offerd； he attends the will ＇ 270 ＇
of his great father。 admiration seisd
all heavn； what this might mean； and whither tend
wondring； but soon th almighty thus replyd：
o thou in heavn and earth the only peace
found out for mankind under wrauth； o thou ＇ 275 ＇
my sole placence！ well thou knowst how dear；
to me are all my works； nor man the least
though last created； that for him i spare
thee from my bosom and right hand； to save；
by loosing thee a while； the whole race lost。 ＇ 280 ＇
thou therefore whom thou only canst redeem；
thir nature also to thy nature joyn；
and be thy self man among men on earth；
made flesh； when time shall be； of virgin seed；
by wondrous birth： be thou in adams room ＇ 285 ＇
the head of all mankind； though adams son。
as in him perish all men； so in thee
as from a second root shall be restord；
as many as are restord； without thee none。
his crime makes guiltie all his sons； thy merit ＇ 290 ＇
imputed shall absolve them who renounce
thir own both righteous and unrighteous deeds；
and live in thee transplanted； and from thee
receive new life。 so man； as is most just；
shall satisfie for man； be judgd and die； ＇ 295 ＇
and dying rise； and rising with him raise
his brethren； ransomd with his own dear life。

Paradise Lost Ⅲ8
so heavnly love shall outdoo hellish hate；
giving to death； and dying to redeeme；
so dearly to redeem what hellish hate ＇ 300 ＇
so easily destroyd； and still destroyes
in those who； when they may； accept not grace。
nor shalt thou by descending to assume
mans nature； lessn or degrade thine owne。
because thou hast； though thrond in highest bliss ＇ 305 ＇
equal to god； and equally enjoying
god…like fruition； quitted all to save
a world from utter loss； and hast been found
by merit more then birthright son of god；
found worthiest to be so by being good； ＇ 310 ＇
farr more then great or high； because in thee
love hath abounded more then glory abounds；
therefore thy humiliation shall exalt
with thee thy manhood also to this throne；
here shalt thou sit incarnate； here shalt reign ＇ 315 ＇
both god and man； son both of god and man；
anointed universal king； all power
i give thee； reign for ever； and assume
thy merits； under thee as head supream
thrones； princedoms； powers； dominions i reduce： ＇ 320 ＇
all knees to thee shall bow； of them that bide
in heaven； or earth； or under earth in hell；
when thou attended gloriously from heavn
shalt in the sky appeer； and from thee send
the summoning arch…angels to proclaime ＇ 325 ＇
thy dread tribunal： forthwith from all windes
the living； and forthwith the cited dead
of all past ages to the general doom
shall hastn； such a peal shall rouse thir sleep。
then all thy saints assembld； thou shalt judge ＇ 330 ＇
bad men and angels； they arraignd shall sink
beneath thy sentence； hell her numbers full；
thenceforth shall be for ever shut。 mean while
the world shall burn； and from her ashes spring
new heavn and earth； wherein the just shall dwell ＇ 335 ＇
and after all thir tribulations long
see golden days； fruitful of golden deeds；
with joy and love triumphing； and fair truth。

Paradise Lost Ⅲ9
：
then thou thy regal scepter shalt lay by；
for regal scepter then no more shall need； ＇ 340 ＇
god shall be all in all。 but all ye gods；
adore him； who to pass all this dies；
adore the son； and honour him as mee。
no sooner had th almighty ceast； but all
the multitude of angels with a shout ＇ 345 ＇
loud as from numbers without number； sweet
as from blest voices； uttering joy； heavn rung
with jubil
