    As yet this World was not, and Chaos Wilde

    Reignd where these Heavns nohere Earth now rests

    Upon her ter poisd, when o<q></q>n a day

    (For Time, though iie, applid [ 580 ]

    To motion, measures all things durable

    By present, past, and future) on such day

    As Heavns great Year brings forth, th Empyreal Host

    Of Angels by Imperial summons calld,

    Innumerable before th Almighties Throne [ 585 ]

    Forthwith from all the ends of Heavn appeerd

    Uhir Hierarchs in orders bright

    Ten thousand thousand Ensignes high advancd,

    Standards and Gonfalons twixt Van and Reare

    Streame in the Aire, and for distin serve [ 590 ]

    Of Hierarchies, of Orders, and Degrees;

    Or in thir gl..ering Tissues bear imblazd

    Holy Memorials, acts of Zeale and Love

    Recorded emi. Thus when in Orbes

    Of circuit inexpressible they stood, [ 5藏书网95 ]

    Orb within Orb, the Father infinite,

    By whom in bliss imbosomd sat the Son,

    Amidst as from a flaming Mount, whose top

    Brightness had made invisible, thus spake.

    Hear all ye Angels, Progenie of Light, [ 600 ]

    Thrones, Dominations, Prins, Vertues, Powers,

    Hear my Decree, whirevokt shall stand.

    This day I have begot whom I declare

    My onely Son, and on this holy Hill

    Him have anointed, whom ye now behold [ 605 ]

    At my right hand; your Head I him appoint;

    And by my Self have sworn to him shall bow

    All knees in Heavn, and shall fess him Lord:

    Unde<mark></mark>r his great Vice-gerent Reign abide

    United as one individual Soule [ 610 ]

    For ever happie: him who disobeyes

    Mee disobeyes, breaks union, and that day

    Cast out from God and blessed vision, falls

    Into utter darkness, deep ingulft, his place

    Ordaind without redemption, without end. [ 615 ]
