Chapter XLIX

[Sidenote: Mat. 25:34. They are placed on Thrones to join with Christ in judging the wicked.]

"You bore the Cross, you suffer'd loss
of all for my Name's sake;
Receive the Crown that's now your own;
come, and a Kingdom take."
Thus spake the Judge: the wicked grudge
and grind their teeth in vain;
They see with groans these plac'd on Thrones,
which addeth to their pain.
