7 But every one that hath this on They justified are, And therefore let Believers sing Who this rich Robe do wear.
The Second Part. 1 A Garment must exactly fit Such who do put it on; Thy Righteousness alone is it That suits each gracious One. 2 In every case the Law has all It can desire to have, And Justice says she never shall More of Believers crave: 3 It suits so well in each degree, And Saints also do find It suits them so, nothing can be Exacter to their mind: ⟨p. 152⟩4 For it does with God's wisdom suit, And clothes our souls and heart; And hides all our deformities, Nay covers every part, 5 From head to foot, so that such seem To have no spot at all; It gloriously does fit all them, Be they great ones or small.

The Third Part. 1 A Wedding-garment is a sign Of joy and sweet delight, And so that righteousness of thine Is, Lord, in our own sight: 2 In it we do rejoice always, 'Tis this which makes us glad; Such may rejoice well all their days Who are so bravely clad. 3 A Wedding-Garment 'tis also Richly Embroidered, No Princess e'er was clothed so That King did ever wed: 4 It shines bespangled with Gold, And such who have it on The King with joy does them behold, And loves to look upon.
