darkness, that grinteth[1] in flaming fire. They that punish in torments give place to thee, and grieve thee not. They that follow Sathanas with all his servants, in the coming against thee, be a-ghast at the presence of holy angels, and flee into darkness of everlasting night; into the great tribulous sea of hell. Our lord ariseth and His enemies be dispartled[2] about; and flee, they that hate Him, from His visage. Fail they as the smoke faileth, and as the wax melteth against[3] the fire, so perish sinners from the face of God; and let rightful men eat and rejoice in the sight of God.[4] All the contrary legions and ministers of Sathanas be not hardy to let thy journey. Christ deliver thee from torment, that vouchsafed to die for thee. Christ, God's Son, bring thee to the merry joys of Paradise, and the very Shepherd know thee among His sheep. He assoil thee from all thy sins, and put thee on His right side; in the sort[5] of His chosen children, that thou may see thy Redemptor visage to visage, and presently[6] assisting to Him, see with (thine) eyes the blessed everlasting truth openly; and among the blessed company of the children of God have thou, and rejoice in the joy of the contemplation of God without end. Amen.
