Scriptural poems being several portions of Scripture digested into English verse /

Judge not that you may not be judged; for even As you pass Judgment, Judgment shall be given: And with such Measure as you meet to Men, It shall be measured unto you again. And why dost thou take notice of the Mote That's in thy Brother's Eye, but dost not note The Beam that's in thine own? How wilt thou say Unto thy Brother, let me take away The Mote that's in thine Eye, when yet 'tis plain The Beam that's in thine own doth still remain? First cast away the Bean, thou Hypocrite, From thine own Eye, so shall thy clearer Sight The better be enabled to descry, And pluck the Mote out of thy Brother's Eye. ⟨image 19⟩Give not to Dogs the things that are Divine, Neither cast ye your Pearls before the Swine, Least that they should their Feet them trample under, And turn upon you, and rent you asunder. Ask, and obtain, seek, and ye shall find; do ye Knock, and it shall be opened unto ye: For he that seeks, shall find, that asks, obtain, And he that knocks, shall an Admittance gain. Or what Man is there of you, if his Son Shall ask him Bread, will he give him a Stone? Or if he ask a Fish, will he bestow A Serpent? If then ye being evil know To give your Children good Gifts, how much rather To them that ask him, shall your Heavenly Father? Then what you would Men should to you, so do To them: for that's the Law and Prophets too. Enter in at the strait Gate, for the Road That doth unto Destruction lead is broad, And wide the Gate, and many there be that Enter therein: because strait is the Gate, And narrow is the way that is inclined To Life, and which there are but few that find. False Prophets shun, who in Sheeps Clothes appear, But inwardly devouring Wolves they are: Ye by their Fruits shall know them. Do Men either Pluck Grapes of Thorns, or Figs of Thistles gather? Even so each good Tree good Fruit will produce; But a corrupt Tree Fruit unfit for use: A good Tree cannot bring forth evil Food, Nor can an evil Tree bear Fruit that's good: Each Tree that bears not good Fruit's hewen down And burnt; thus by their Fruits they shall be known.
