If more be added, and it worketh not;
And more, and yet the same's the Patients Lot.
All hope of Life from Standers-by is fled,
The Party sick is counted now as dead.
Comparison. Count ye the Sick, one that's not yet converted, Impenitent, Incredulous, Hard hearted: In whom vile Sin is so predominant, And the Soul in it's Acts so conversant; That like one with Diseases over-run, This man with it at present is undone. Now let the Physic be the Holy Word, (The Blessed Doctrine of our Dearest Lord.) And let the Doses to the Patient given Be, by Directions of the God of Heaven. Convincing Sermons, sharp and sound Rebukes, Let them be Beggars, Knights, Lords, Earls or Dukes: You must not spare them, Life doth lie at Stake, And dye they will, if Physic they don't take. ⟨p. 69⟩
