Come ye Blessed , &c. Goe ye Cursed , &c. OR , A Diall of Direction to Doomes-day : denoting by the Seauen deadly Sins , seauen dangerous steps descendant to destruction ; and by their contrary opposite vertues , the Seauenfold ladder ascending to euerlasting Felicitie .

Humilitie . MElt throbbing Soule into a flood of teares , And humbly hang thy vowes at Heauens eares ; Thy God will heare , without an angry frowne , And raise thee vp , as he hath cast thee downe . Rip vp thy breast with sighes , breake heart in twaine , Hee 'le make amends , and salue it vp againe . True , true indeed ; for he that Heauen will win , Must be both new without , and new within . Loue . LOue is the life of Vertue , and the fire Which kindles motion in a good desire ; Shee is the Queene , whom here portrayd you see , Dandling her pretty Infants on her knee : Now what relation they haue to the Mother , The same wee haue compar'd with one another : If thus wee loue , at length the God aboue , Will guide our feete into the place of Loue . Patien●… . WHy should I seeke reuenge , I 'le rather die , Then haue my handes distaind with crueltie ; Rather then burnish in mine owne defence , Let me bee blam'd for sheepish innocence : In hope thus meane I to continue still , And wish their good , that shall desire my ill ; For well I know , Forgiue , and bee Forgiuen , Is one sure path , will leade vs vnto Heaven . Labour . THe portion ●● his sonnes was sweate , And through their Labour to procure their meate ; Fye then on those , that foolishly repine , To see vs worke , before we seeke to dine : Wee stand not idle , like a lumpe of lead , But plow , and sow , and so we get our bread . For true it is , when God shall see it best , Wee shall be brought vnto the place of rest . Liberalitie . COme , come , you hungry soules , take what you lack Foode for your belly , rayment for your backe , Refresh your selues with that which God hath sent vs , For what wee haue , wee must confesse is lent vs : To bee employd on you , and take 't as free , As ever at the first it came to mee . And doe so still , though the world ne're regard thee , There 's one aboue that sees , and will reward thee . Temperance . IT is a noble thing , and worthy man , To slacke his power of doing what he can ; This is true Temperance , to see and tast Gods creatures , neuer spending them in wast ; This is the Balsame for the Soule and brayne , To reade , and drinke , and then to reade againe . No man can finde the way to Heauen reeling , It 's straight , and low , and onely got by kneeling Chastitie . ONe spotlesse couple with your tender young , Fayre like the stock , from whence at first they sprong ; Hie to the Temple , great Iehovahs place , There you may looke vpon him face to face ; There you may reade , and heare , and pray , and sing , And warble out the prayses of your King . For he that beares vnto this Church a loue , Shall bee a member of the Church aboue . Pride . FAire , bright-celestiall Angel-like Face ▪ Adding a luster to the looking-glasse ; Would Venus were aliue , that I might prove How farre I went beyond the Queene of Loue ; My Peacock-painted lockes affirme the same , Brighter then hers to whom Leander swame . But stay , lockes shead , and Peacockes loose their feather , Your Beauty , and your Glasse , may breake together . Enuie . O How my soule 's tormented when I see , Honours attend on others , and flye mee ! I could ee'ne teare away my snakie twine , For anger that those fortunes were not mine ; Well so bee it , thriue on ; I must and will Spit my contagious envie at you still . Hell's hard at hand , peace ; for a time thou 'lt see , Thousands shall pitty , but none enuie thee . Wrath. CAn flesh and blood endure it ? surely no , I 'le make you rue your faults or e're you go ; Your lift-vp hands , and teares can doe no good , Nought shall appease my fury , but your blood : I 'le carue yee vp yee Scoundrels ioynt by ioynt , And tosse your limbes vpon my daggers poynt . Yet bee aduis'd , and learne this lesson well , The blood of man will be reueng'd in hell . Sloath ▪ RAther then worke wee 'le starue ; now we are borne We must be kept , though we be kept in scorne ; Let thinges goe how they will , what neede we care ? Sleeping , and feeding in the open ayre : It is a blisse , what neede our wishes clime Farther than onely to the present tyme ? Yet there 's a world behind , and worth the thinking , Which will not be obtain'd by Sloath and drinking . Couetousnesse . COme let vs hugge sweete soule , yee heapes of wonder , Wee 'le rather fry in hell , than part asunder : O glorious mettall ! fayre beyond the Sunne ! That setts , but thou reflect'st when day is done ; Long mayst thou fire my coffers , and bee bright , To keepe thy master from eternall night . But let me tell you this ; Bills , Bondes , and Leases , Will ner'e assure you of the place where peace is . Drunkennesse . SIt close good fellowes , tumble downe the liquor , It makes the witt , and vnderstanding quicker , 'T is the directest physicke for the braine , To sit , and drinke , and pisse it out againe : Fill me a boule of Nectar , I 'le beginne A health to him , that will this honour winne . And drinke thy fill , a time will come e're long , Thou shalt not haue a drop to coole thy tongue . Lecherie . QVickly let 's snatch the pleasures of the bed , Embrace , and kisse , and cull a mayden-head ; A fire runnes through my vaines , like Aetna hot , Yet what it meetes I 'm sure it scorches not , Trye first and trust ; two is a number , one Must liue , and lye , and die , and all alone . Why so ? t' is better goe to Heauen single , Then with the hellish multitude to mingle .
