His Truth and Oath he laid in pawn.	Heb. 6. 18
in which he cannot Lie.	and 6. 12.
And ſwore by his eternal ſelf,
for greater there was none,
That of his Elect Company,
there ſhould not periſh one.
And tho' theſe Souls like Ship on Sea
may fearfully be toſt:
And whiles may ſeem cloſe overwhelm'd
yet none ſuch ſhall be loſt.	Iſa. 54. 11.
Their Anchor lies within the Vail.
no Wind can make it drive:	Heb. 6. 19.
It lyes where thou art landed, Lord,
and where we ſhall arrive.
Now who faith that thy Elect Ones	Rom. 1. 28.
for all this periſh may,
And that thy Saints of purpoſe call'd,
from thee may fall away
And looſes us from leaning on
the Strength of thy Right-hand.

and bids us build on Sand.
They ſay Peter and Judas are
alike belov'd of thee:
And that they both for Gifts receiv'd,
alike beholden be.
As Judas for his periſhing	Mat. 16. 15
may wyte the love of Pelf:
So Peter his Free-will for Life
may praiſe and thank himſelf.
They ſay thou knowſt not who are thine
of none they make the ſure?	I Tim. 21.
They ſay the Lord's Foundation 10.
doth not ay firm endure.
