<HEAD>A PILLAR ERECTED To the Memory of that Holy, Hum|ble, and Faithful Servant of Ie&s;us Chri&s;t, Mr.<HI>Henry Ie&s;&s;e,</HI> who re&s;t|ed from his Labours upon <DATE>the fourth day of the &s;eventh Month, 1663. In the Sixty Third Year of his Age.</DATE></HEAD>
<LG>
<L>IS <HI>Je&s;&s;e</HI> Dead? How can this be re&s;olv'd?</L>
<L>We grant you, the <UNCLEAR>Compo&s;itum</UNCLEAR> <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="damage" EXTENT="1 letter">hat's di&s;&s;olv'd.</L>
<L>But for his Soul, it lives among the ble&s;t.</L>
<L>His Bodi's but a&s;leep, and gone to re&s;t.</L>
<L>If neither Soul, nor yet his Body dye,</L>
<L>Then Grave &s;tand forth, and &s;hew thy Victory.</L>
<L>What though his eyes be clos'd, he dwells in Light,</L>
<L>And Death hath onely turn'd, his Faith, to Sight.</L>
<L>Death hath but broke the Gla&s;&s;e, that Refract rayes</L>
<L>May be no more, the Vi&s;ion of his Dayes,</L>
<L>But direct Beams, in that Caele&s;tial Place,</L>
<L>Where Sa<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="damage" EXTENT="4 letters"> <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="damage" EXTENT="2 letters">hold their Father, Face to Face</L>
<L>What though his Body, in the du&s;t did drop,</L>
<L>It's but to Rai&s;e it up, a Spirit'al Crop,</L>
<L>To make it fitter, for to Tune tho&s;e P&s;alms,</L>
<L>Which Saints do Sing, that bear Triumphant Palms.</L>
<L>But if you'l call this Sleep, a death, then &s;ay,</L>
<L><HI>Je&s;&s;e</HI> is gone to bed, till it be day,</L>
<L>Till Chri&s;t &s;hall wake him, that he may put on,</L>
<L>Like Glorious robes to tho&s;e, which cloaths the Son.</L>
<L>And with him on his Throne, a Seat obtain,</L>
<L>When Crowned Saints, over the Earth &s;hall Reign.</L>
<L>But what was <HI>Je&s;&s;e?</HI> that &s;o great a Throng,</L>
<L>Of Saints &s;hould Croud, to U&s;her him Along</L>
<L>Unto his Bed; could no le&s;&s;e &s;erve the Turne,</L>
<L>To draw the Curtains, round about his Urne,</L>
<L>But &s;uch a Number, which did &s;eem to be</L>
<L>About his Hear&s;e, like to a Prodigie.</L>
<L>Why <HI>Je&s;&s;e</HI> he was one, that lov'd them all,</L>
<L>And had this Love repaid, at's Funeral.</L>
<L>As in his Heart, he had a General Love,</L>
<L>For ev'ry one, who&s;e birth was from above,</L>
<L>So with a General Love, he's compa&s;t round,</L>
<L>When he like Seed, is ca&s;t into the Ground.</L>
<L>His &s;hort Afflictions, which on Earth have bin,</L>
<L>Such weighty Glory, have wrought out for him,</L>
<L>That though in largene&s;&s;e, could our hearts ari&s;e,</L>
<L>Unto the &s;and, which on the Sea-Shore lies,</L>
<L>Yet could we not conceive, much <UNCLEAR>le&s;&s;e Declare</UNCLEAR></L>
<L><GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="damage" EXTENT="1 line"></L>
<L>His Fight of Faith is fought, ev<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="damage" EXTENT="1 span"></L>
<L>And he hath laid hold, on Eternal Life.</L>
<L>The Conflict's over, and the Race is Run,</L>
<L>The Gole is Touched, and the Prize is Won.</L>
<L>His Cour&s;e is fini&s;h'd, he the Faith did keep,</L>
<L>And having done his Work, is fall'n a&s;leep.</L>
<L>Then be ye <HI>Je&s;&s;e</HI>'s Follow'rs, as ye &s;ee,</L>
<L><HI>Je&s;&s;e</HI> did follow Chri&s;t, &s;o follow ye,</L>
<L>That when with <HI>Je&s;&s;e,</HI> you &s;hall end your Dayes,</L>
<L>You may have nought to do, but &s;ing forth Prai&s;e,</L>
<L>And look on Death, which is the King of Fears,</L>
<L>But as a Bridge, over this Vale of Tears,</L>
<L>To Land you on tho&s;e Banks, along who&s;e &s;ide,</L>
<L>Rivers of Plea&s;ure, evermore do Glide.</L>
<L>And at the La&s;t Day, may be found to &s;tand,</L>
<L>With <HI>Henry Je&s;&s;e</HI> at our Lords Right Hand.</L>
