expect with mortal paine： say where and when
thir fight； what stroke shall bruise the victors heel ＇ 385 ＇。
to whom thus michael。 dream not of thir fight；
as of a duel； or the local wounds

and due to theirs which out of thine will grow： ＇ 400 ＇

to save them； not thir own； though legal works。 ＇ 410 ＇
for this he shall live hated； be blasphemd；
seisd on by force； judgd； and to death condemnd

by his own nation； slaine for bringing life；
but to the cross he nailes thy enemies； ＇ 415 ＇
the law that is against thee； and the sins
of all mankinde； with him there crucifid；
never to hurt them more who rightly trust
in this his satisfaction； so he dies；
but soon revives； death over him no power ＇ 420 ＇
shall long usurp； ere the third dawning light
returne； the starres of morn shall see him rise
out of his grave； fresh as the dawning light；
thy ransom paid； which man from death redeems；
his death for man； as many as offerd life ＇ 425 ＇
neglect not； and the benefit imbrace
by faith not void of worke
