3 Will you be on our Captains side? Ah! if you still stand out, His Sword ere long will you divide With them that turn about:
3 Will you be on our Captains side? Ah! if you still stand out, His Sword e're long will you divide VVith them that turn about:
4 For if Deserters there be found, Better not to be born, His wrath to such will so abound, To pieces they'll be torn.
5 Ye Saints your Leader follow close, And see that you do keep To the Company you have chose, And from them do not slip.
6 Lest you Deserters should be thought, brought, Keep then your place be sure In that same Truth to which you're Lest wrath you do procure.
