And to the end persisting, safe arrive.
That they may stumble on, and deeper fall;
To Prayer, repentance, and obedience due,
By sin to foul exorbitant desires;
And I will place within them as a guide
He with his whole posteritie must dye,
But yet all is not don; Man disobeying,
And none but such from mercy I exclude.

Elect above the rest; so is my will:
But to destruction sacred and devote,
Affecting God-head, and so loosing all,

All his delivrance, and to nonehttps://read.99csw.com but me.
His falln condition is, and to me ow
His lapsed powers, though forfeit and enthralld
Son of my bosom, Son who art alone
Th incensed Deitie while offerd grace
O Son, in whom my Soul hath chief delight,
This my long sufferance and my day of grace
What may suffice, and softn stonie hearts
Light after light well usd they shall attain,
