But thou, vile wretch, hast added unto all
Thine other faults, and facts so criminal,
The damning sin of wilful unbelief,
Of all Transgressors hadst thou been the chief;
Yet when time was, thou mightest have been set free
Yet when time was, thou might'st have been set free
From Sin, and Wrath, and punishment by me.
