William Alabaster - "Jesus is risen from the infernal mire'' lyrics

Jesus is risen from the infernal mire: But who art thou that say'st Jesus arose? Such holy words are only fit for those Whose souls with Christ above the heavens aspire. But if thou hast not raisèd thy desire From earth to heaven, but in the world dost close Thy love which unto heaven thou shouldst dispose, Say not that Christ is yet ascended higher, But yet within thy heart he lieth dead, And by the devil is impoisonèd. Rejoice not then in vain of his ascent; For as his glorious rise doth much augment All good men's hopes, so unto those that tread False paths, it is a dreadful argument.
