5 Like as an Earnest doth confirm, And give an assurance Of some great purchase, even so We all may see from hence
6 God's Spirit is unto our Souls An Earnest of all good, Which Jesus Christ did buy for us With his most precious Blood.
7 And as an Earnest when 'tis given Doth make the Bargain sure, So certain shall he have Heaven This Earnest doth procure.
