4 A Witness doth his witness give, If it be just and true To righteousness, to undeceive Such which before he knew
5 To be false Men, and wittingly The matter would evade; But so their evidence does try, A stop to all is made.
6 So thou, O Lord, to righteousness Thy witness dost bring in, That all false Souls who are deceived By Satan or by sin,
6 So thou, O Lord, to righteouness Thy witness dost bring in, That all false Souls who are deceiv'd By Satan or by sin,
7 Shall be convinced, and silent be By thy own faithful word; And all their' foolish Pleas they'll see No help will them afford.
7 Shall be convinc'd, and silent be By thy own faithful word; And all their' foolish Pleas they'll see No help will them afford.
