2 And not to fear i'th'day of evil What any man can do; Nay we hereby withstand the Devil, Who doth great malice show.
3 O then, ye Saints, see you maintain A good and holy life, And soon thereby you will obtain An end of all that strife
4 With which you meet from Foes without, And also from within; O know it is God's great design To purge you from your sin;
5 And that you holy should all live, And hence 'tis you have Grace; The Seed of Holiness is sown, And it will grow apace,
6 If under God's shinings ye sit, And he his Rain doth send, Then will your Righteousness break forth, And peace will flow i'th' end;
