4 As fired are by thy own Spirit, Thy Word without that, Lord, ⟨p. 218⟩Will never burn, nor raise our hearts (As we have newly heard.)
4 As fir'd are by thy own Spirit, Thy Word without that, Lord, ⟨p. 218⟩Will never burn, nor raise our hearts (As we have newly heard.)
5 Fire will melt and soften things That hard are naturally; 'Tis by thy Word and Spirit we Do with thy Will comply.
6 'Tis that which bends & makes us yield, And humbles much the heart, Which naturally was proud and vain, And too obdurate.
The Second Part. 1 Thy Word it quickens and revives, Like Fire it does cheer; It consolates and makes such warm Who to it do draw near: 2 For they who to it will not come, No profit can receive; So such who do reject thy Word, Their Souls shall not live. 3 Fire will penetrate and pierce, There is no secret place Within the Soul, but thy Word will Most quick and swiftly pass. 4 It doth the very Thoughts discern, Nay it divides between The Soul and Spirit of a Man, To sever both from Sin.
