O Son, in whom my Soul hath chief delight,?Son of my bosom, Son who art alone
My word, my wisdom, and effectual might, [ 170 ]
All hast thou spokn as my thoughts are, all
As my Eternal purpose hath decreed:
Man shall not quite be lost, but savd who will,
Yet not of will in him, but gra me
Freely voutsaft; once more I will renew [ 175 ]
His lapsed powers, though forfeit ahralld
By sin to foul exorbitant desires;
Upheld by me, yet once more he shall stand
On even ground against his mortal foe,
By me upheld, that he may know how frail [ 180 ]
His falln dition is, and to me ow
All his delivrance, and to me.
Some I have chosen of peculiar grace
Elect above the rest; so is my will:
The rest shall hear me call, and oft be warnd [ 185 ]
Thir sinful state, an<bdi></bdi>d to appease betimes
Th insed Deitie while race
Invites; for I will<bdo></bdo> cleer thir senses dark,
What may suffice, and softn stonie hearts
To pray, repent, and bring obedience due. [ 190 ]
To Prayer, repentance, and obedience due,
Though but endevord with sient,
Mine ear shall not be slow, mine eye not shut.
And I will place within them as a guide
My Umpire sce, whom if they will hear, [ 195 ]
Light after light well usd they shall attain,<samp></samp>
And to the end persisting, safe arrive.
This my long sufferand my day of grace
They who and s, shall aste;
But hard be hardnd, blind be blinded more, [ 200 ]
That they may stumble on, and deeper fall;
And such from mercy I exclude.
But yet all is not don; Man disobeying,
Disloyal breaks his fealtie, and sinns
Against the high Suprem..acie of Heavn, [ 205 ]
Affeg God-head, and so loosing all,
To expiate his Treason hath naught left,
But to destru sacred ae,
He with his whole posteritie must dye,
Dye hee or Justice must; unless for him [ 210 ]
Som other able, and as willing, pay
The rigid satisfa, death for death.
