I n slumbring sleepe I lay all night alone in bed, A vision very strange there come into my head, Me thought the day of doome undoubtedly was come, And Christ himselfe was there to judge both all and some. My selfe was sent for there with sound of Trumpet shrill, Which said, All soules come heare your sentence good or ill. I sate in minde amaz'd, at that same sudden voyce, For in mine owne good life no whit I could rejoyce. With panting brest I paus'd at that same sudden sight, Not trusting to my selfe, but to Christs mercies great. I was no sooner meane, but Sathan came, me thought, With him a role full large of all my life he brought. And laid before the Lord how that I was his owne, And would have had me then, my sinnes so great were growne. I quaking lay with feare, and wist not what to doe,
But in the blood of Christ I trusted still unto. Then said our Saviour Christ, foule Sathan end thy strife, Looke if the sinners name be in the booke of life. If he be entred there, then must he needes be blest, His sinnes be washt away, his soule with me shall rest. Then Sathan tooke the booke, did leafe by leafe unfold, And there he found my name in letters limb'd with gold. Then Sathan sorrowed much at that same sudden sight. And said unto the Lord, thy Judgements are not right. And thus our Saviour sweet said to him by and by, Thou, Sathan, know'st full well that I for sinne did dye. Redeeming all the world, once overthrowne by thee, And so will save all such as truly trust in mee. My mortall foe was wroth, that he had lost his prey, Extreamely vexed was, and vanisht quite away. But I that thus was bill'd within that blessed booke, Out of my slumbring sleepe so joyfully awoke. Still praying to the Lord, that alwayes sinners may From Sathan be set free, at the last dreadfull day. That after earthly toyles, we may heaven joyes a[ttain]e, Here learne to live to [dye] that we may live [a]gaine. Our noble royall King, God grant him long to raigne, To live in joy and peace, the Gospell to maintaine.
