Come ye Blessed, etc. Go ye Cursed, etc. OR, A Dial of Direction to Doomsday: denoting by the Seven deadly Sins, seven dangerous steps descendant to destruction; and by their contrary opposite virtues, the Seavenfold ladder ascending to everlasting Felicity.  


Humility.  
MElt throbbing Soul into a flood of tears,  
And humbly hang thy vows at heavens ears;  
Thy God will hear, without an angry frown,  
And raise thee up, as he hath cast thee down.  
Rip up thy breast with sighs, break heart in twain,  
he'll make amends, and salve it up again.  
True, true indeed; for he that Heaven will win,  
Must be both new without, and new within.   

Love..  
Love is the life of Virtue, and the fire  
Which kindles motion in a good desire;  
She is the Queen, whom here portrayed you see,  
Dandling her pretty Infants on her knee:  
Now what relation they have to the Mother,  
The same we have compared with one another:  
If thus we love, at length the God above,  
Will guide our feet into the place of Love..   

Patien●….  
WHy should I seek revenge, I'll rather die,  
Then have my hands distained with cruelty;  
Rather than burnish in mine own defence,  
Let me be blamed for sheepish innocence:  
In hope thus mean I to continue still,  
And wish their good, that shall desire my ill;  
For well I know, Forgive, and be Forgiven,  
Is one sure path, will lead us unto Heaven.   

Labour.  
THe portion ●● his sons was sweat,  
And through their Labour to procure their meat;  
Fie then on those, that foolishly repine,  
To see us work, before we seek to dine:  
We stand not idle, like a lump of lead,  
But plough, and sow, and so we get our bread.  
For true it is, when God shall see it best,  
We shall be brought unto the place of rest.   

Liberality.  
COme, come, you hungry souls, take what you lack  
Food for your belly, raiment for your back,  
Refresh yourselves with that which God hath sent us,  
For what we have, we must confess is lent us:  
To be employed on you, and take't as free,  
As ever at the first it came to me.  
And do so still, though the world ne'er regard thee,  
There's one above that sees, and will reward thee.   

Temperance.  
IT is a noble thing, and worthy man,  
To slack his power of doing what he can;  
This is true Temperance, to see and taste  
God's creatures, never spending them in waist;  
This is the Balsam for the Soul and brain,  
To read, and drink, and then to read again.  
No man can find the way to Heaven reeling,  
It's strait, and low, and only got by kneeling   

Chastity.  
ONe spotless couple with your tender young,  
Fair like the stock, from whence at first they sprung;  
High to the Temple, great jehovahs' place,  
There you may look upon him face to face;  
There you may read, and hear, and pray, and sing,  
And warble out the praises of your King.  
For he that bears unto this Church a love,  
Shall be a member of the Church above.   

Pride.  
Fair, bright-celestiall Angellike Face▪  
Adding a lustre to the lookingglass;  
Would Venus were alive, that I might prove  
How far I went beyond the Queen of Love;  
My Peacock-painted locks affirm the same,  
Brighter than hers to whom Leander swame.  
But stay, locks shed, and Peacocks lose their feather,  
Your Beauty, and your Glass, may break together.   

Envy.  
O How my soul's tormented when I see,  
Honours attend on others, and fly me!  
I could e'en tear away my snaky twine,  
For anger that those fortunes were not mine;  
Well so be it, thrive on; I must and will  
Spit my contagious envy at you still.  
Hell's hard at hand, peace; for a time thou'lt see,  
Thousands shall pity, but none envy thee.   

Wrath.  
CAn flesh and blood endure it? surely no,  
I'll make you rue your faults or e'er you go;  
Your lift-up hands, and tears can do no good,  
Nought shall appease my fury, but your blood:  
I'll carve ye up ye Scoundrels joint by joint,  
And toss your limbs upon my dagger's point.  
Yet be advised, and learn this lesson well,  
The blood of man will be revenged in hell.   

Sloth▪  
RAther than work we'll starve; now we are borne  
We must be kept, though we be kept in scorn;  
Let things go how they will, what need we care?  
Sleeping, and feeding in the open air:  
It is a bliss, what need our wishes climb  
Farther than only to the present time?  
Yet there's a world behind, and worth the thinking,  
Which will not be obtained by Sloth and drinking.   

Covetousness.  
COme let us hug sweet soul, ye heaps of wonder,  
we'll rather fry in hell, than part asunder:  
O glorious mettle! fair beyond the Sun!  
That sets, but thou reflect'st when day is done;  
Long mayst thou fire my coffers, and be bright,  
To keep thy master from eternal night.  
But let me tell you this; Bills, Bonds, and Leases,  
Will never assure you of the place where peace is.   

Drunkenness.  
SIt close good fellows, tumble down the liquor,  
It makes the wit, and understanding quicker,  
'Tis the directest physic for the brain,  
To sit, and drink, and piss it out again:  
Fill me a bowl of Nectar, I'll begin  
A health to him, that will this honour win.  
And drink thy fill, a time will come e'er long,  
Thou shalt not have a drop to cool thy tongue.   

Lechery.  
QVickly let's snatch the pleasures of the bed,  
Embrace, and kiss, and cull a maidenhead;  
A fire runs through my veins, like Aetna hot,  
Yet what it meets I'm sure it scorches not,  
Try first and trust; two is a number, one  
Must live, and lie, and die, and all alone.  
Why so? 'tis better go to Heaven single,  
Then with the hellish multitude to mingle.
