26. But this is to be noted, I have on Folly doted, My Vanities promoted, My self to them devoted.
27. Thus I have sin committed, And so my self out-witted; Yea, and my Soul unfitted, To be to Heaven admitted.
28. But God has condescended, And pardon has extended, To such as have offended, Before their lives were ended.
29. O Lord! do not disdain me, But kindly entertain me; ⟨p. 7⟩Yea in thy Faith maintain me, And let thy Love constrain me!
