PARADISELOST
8/16

As in him perish all men, so in thee As from a second root shall be restor'd, As many as are restor'd, without thee none.

His crime makes guiltie all his Sons, thy merit Imputed shall absolve them who renounce Thir own both righteous and unrighteous deeds, And live in thee transplanted, and from thee Receive new life.

So Man, as is most just, Shall satisfie for Man, be judg'd and die, And dying rise, and rising with him raise His Brethren, ransomd with his own dear life.

So Heav'nly love shal outdoo Hellish hate, Giving to death, and dying to redeeme, So dearly to redeem what Hellish hate So easily destroy'd, and still destroyes In those who, when they may, accept not grace.

Nor shalt thou by descending to assume Mans Nature, less'n or degrade thine owne.
