23. Lord! thou wast crucified For Sinners, bled and dyed, ⟨p. 6⟩I have for Mercy cried, Let me not be denied.
23. Lord! thou wast crucified For Sinners, bled and dyed, ⟨p. 6⟩I have for Mercy cryed, Let me not be denyed.
24 I have thy Spirit grieved; Yet is my life reprieved, Would I in thee believed, Then I should be relieved.
25. Were but Repentance gained, And had I Faith unfeigned, Then Joy would be maintained In me, and sin restrained.
26. But this is to be noted, I have on Folly doted, My Vanities promoted, My self to them devoted.
