2 'Tis he whose Life is free from blame, Whose works are right and just; Whose hearts and words are true, and whom One may securely trust.
3 His Neighbours Credit does not wound By a detracting Tongue; Nor in his Infamy delight, Much less would do him wrong.
4 Who does not break his Oath when he To his own damage swears; But his strict Virtue far before His Interest prefers.

5 Who hates Exaction, and rejects Bribes to betray the Just; This Man shall ne'er be moved, but may In God securely trust.
