II. |
Wilt thou forgive that sin, which I have wonne |
Others to sin, and made my sins their door? |
Wit thou forgive that sin which I did shun |
A year or two, but wallowed in, a score? |
When thou hast done, thou hast not done, |
For I have more. |
|
III. |
I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun |
My last thred, I shall perish on the shore; |
But swear by thy self, that at my death thy Son |
Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore; |
And, having done That, thou hast done, |
I fear no more. |
