The Third Part.
1 Other Foundations may decay, Or Men may dig them down; But this doth stand like to a Rock, It can't be overthrown.
2 Let Devils do whate're they can They can't it undermine: Art thou built here, O happy Man! Great safety shalt thou find:
3 Here build your Faith, your Hope, and all Your Comforts too likewise; Then let Winds blow, ye never shall Fall by your Enemies.
4 But woe to such who lay aside This precious Corner-stone, And build on works through their great pride, Their hopes will soon be gone.
