If this good Counsel is by thee rejected; If work and labour is by thee neglected; If thou, like David, lollest on thy Bed; Or art like to a Horse, pampered and fed With what will fire thy Lusts, and so lays Snares For thine own Soul, when thou should be in the' Wars: Then take what follows, Sin must be detected, And thou, without Repentance, quite rejected.1

This is the House of God, his Dwelling-place, 'Tis here that we behold his lovely Face; But if it should polluted be with Sin, And so abide, he quickly will begin To leave it desolate, and then woe to it, Sin and his Absence quickly will undo it.1
