CHRIST. If my dear Saints in rags do go, 'Tis not Religion clothes them so;1 But by such wants the Lord prepares2 Their souls, against thy killing snares,3 They all are heirs, though under age;4 Expectants of their heritage.5 Kept short for present, yet contemn A change with those that scoff at them.6
