[III. JOHN]
1 John writes to Gaius, and commends
His charitable aim:
But doth repress Diotrephes,
Who strove to be supreme.
[JUDE]
1 Jude bids for faith strive earnestly,
Seducers lively paints;
What judgments shall to them befal,
What blessings to the saints.
[REVELATION]
1 A Vision Christ reveals to John,
2 He writes to churches four.
3 To other three then writeth he.
4 The elders God adore.
5 Book with seven seals the lamb doth take.
6 He opens all but one;
7 The saints seal'd are whom God will spare.
8 Last seal; four trumpets blown.
9 Come next the fifth and sixth to sound.
10 John eats the book that's brought.
11 Witnesses two: last trumpet's woe.
12 Man-child to Heav'n is caught.
13 Describes the beast's seven heads, ten horns.
14 The lamb with saints about.
15 To angels sev'n were vials giv'n,
16 All which they poured out.
17 Egregious whore of Babylon,
18 Her woeful doom foretold;
19 God glorify'd; the lamb and bride;
20 The devil kept in hold.
21 Finally John sees all things new,
Heav'n, earth, Jerusalem;
22 Doth visions close, and curseth those,
That add or take from them.
