Approaching now to th'Age of Fifty seven,
In Spirit translated was from Earth to Heaven:
To th'Spririts of just Men join'd, which perfect are, }
And while enjoying Bliss and Glory there, }
Behold! his mortal Flesh interred resteth here; }
Sleeping in Jesus, hoping to arise, }
Immortal Life t'assume among the Wise, }
To shine, tho' now to Death become a Sacrifice. }
Reader:
Do just Men Spirits, which here imperfect are, }
Perfect commence at Death? Believe them ne'er, }
Who say, their Souls do die, or else lie sleeping here. }
The former being Scripture * in my Sense,
Disproves the latter by just Consequence.

While sweetly in the Dust they sleep:

A Crown of Glory for to find.

From Earth they came, to Heaven they run.
God bless the rest with Length of Days,
On Earth to live, his Name to praise.
