2 He that would win the Prize also, Must know what way to run; ⟨p. 292⟩And must hold out, not weary be, Until the Prize he's won.

4 Such who do run a race, sometimes Have many Lookers on; Both Men and Angels view the Saints, And mind how they do run.
5 They who do run an earthly Race, Run for some earthly thing; But every Saint that gains the Prize, Shall Crowned be as a King.
