Then straight I 'gin my heart to chide,
Dist fix thy hope on mold'ring dust?
The arm of flesh didst make thy trust?
Raise up thy thoughts above the sky
That dunghill mists away may fly
Thou hast a house on high erect
Framed by that might Architect
With glory richly furnishedStands permanent through this be fled
...There's wealth enough,
I need no more
Farewell, my pelf,
farewell my store.
The world no longer let me love,
My hope and treasure lies above. |

Term
| I was determined to work out my own salvation and, in doing so, procure a title to heaven; being the result of a mind blinded by ignorance and sin...[The minister] then invited me to a love-feast at his chapel that evening. I accepted the offer, and thanked him;...When the wished-for hour came I went, and happily the old man was there, who kindly seated me, as he belonged to the place. I was much astonished to see the place filled with people, and no signs of eating and drinking. |
